Super Insight 14 Collaboration (Second Update Vote)

  Mangshan has finally arrived.

  When Jiang He rushed to Mangshan, he felt that around Mangshan, a strong aura was moving. Among these auras, surprisingly, most of them were foundation-building cultivators. They kept searching at the foot and waist of Mangshan Mountain.

  Jiang He felt a little depressed in his heart, knowing that it was not easy to get the treasure simply by thinking about it this time. The treasure map only circled Mangshan, so Jiang He could only search with them or wait for someone to discover it.

  Jiang He thought for a moment and then found a small cave at the foot of the mountain, where he began to cultivate.

  The Fa power operates within the Dantian, expanding it to hold more Fa power and breaking through to the next realm. The Fa power operating within the body can increase physical strength. However, the effect of Fa power on physical strength is very weak, and in the cultivation world, few people focus most of their energy on enhancing physical strength. Nevertheless, some time must be devoted to increasing physical strength because once a cultivator uses magic or flies, if their body is too weak, they will be directly blown away by the strong winds in the sky, or when Fa powers collide, their body will be directly shattered.

  In the True Demon Heart Sutra, it is recorded that during the 12th layer of the Refining Qi period, the Dharma power rotates 12 times in the Dan Tian for one small cycle. One day's Dharma power running 12 small cycles can achieve the effect of expanding the Dan Tian. The larger the Dan Tian, the more Dharma power it can hold. However, if the Dharma power runs more than 12 small cycles in a day, there will be no effect, and haste makes waste. In the True Demon Heart Sutra, there is a special method for running the 12th layer of the Refining Qi period.

  Jiang He began to practice according to the rhythm of the Fa power introduced in this Gongfa, while introspecting the changes in his Dan Tian. At this time, he found that when his Fa power ran for a week, the twelfth ring of Fa power in his Dan Tian would expand outward slightly. When it expanded, the power brought by this ring of Fa power was half virtual and half real, pushing the Dan Tian to expand, but not causing it to feel bloated or painful.

  And every time it reaches the twelfth week, the expansion of the Fa Li Ring's virtual shadow increases a bit. By the end of the twelfth cycle, the expansion of the Fa Li Ring's virtual shadow reaches its maximum, and upon careful sensation, the lower abdomen has a slight feeling of pain.

  "This Demon Heart Scripture is indeed one of the top-notch skills of the Demonic Sect, and the explanation of this skill's cultivation is so clear, it really feels like a sudden enlightenment."

  Jiang He compared it to his own situation and thoroughly understood the introduction of the twelve layers of Fa Li in the True Demon Heart Sutra. Thinking that he used to just practice every day in a muddled manner, with very limited results, he even more deeply understood the effectiveness of a good set of skills.

  More and more monks came from Mount Meng, and people kept coming to the cave where Jiang He was, so he had no choice but to stop his cultivation and come out with these people to find the treasure together.

  Three days later, at a certain place on the mountain waist, only a loud explosion was heard, and then someone fell from the mountain waist. The person shouted in mid-air: "Treasure!"

  The treasure has finally been revealed, and for a time the mountains are filled with flying monks. These monks mostly fly on swords, but there are also some who are quite strange, stepping on rod-shaped, diamond-shaped, ball-shaped, needle-shaped, net-like... all kinds of magical treasures.

  Jiang He had never seen so many cultivators gathered together, numbering in the hundreds. However, these cultivators were all floating in mid-air, staring in one direction. On the mountain waist, a large gate was rumbling open, and from the outside looking in, it was pitch black and bottomless. Even with Jiang He's exceptional eyesight, he could only see about a hundred meters in.

  The entrance of this treasure looked more like a monster with its big mouth open. Although the monks wanted the treasure, their own lives were more important, so for a moment, no one dared to enter.

  "Now that we're here, what's there to hesitate about? You don't dare go up, I'll go first."

  A man with a beast's head shouted and rushed in first. A fourth-stage demon beast can transform its body, speak human language, but its head cannot be transformed, it can only reach the seventh stage to completely transform into a human.

  As soon as the monster nodded, the people flying in mid-air immediately couldn't stay any longer, fearing that if they were a step slower, the treasure would be seized by others. With the entrance of the treasure cave as the center, the densely packed cultivators frantically rushed up.

  "It's strange how these people didn't collide with each other." Jiang muttered to himself.

  "It's just a moth flying into the flame." A voice suddenly came from beside Jiang.

  Jiang was startled and turned his head to see a very familiar person standing not far away, staring at the entrance of the treasure with an icy gaze.

  It was actually Gao Yuan, but it was absolutely not the Gao Yuan that Jiang He had known before. From his body, Jiang He felt a very dangerous aura, as if a fierce ancient beast was lurking within him. And his power was no less than his own.

  "It's you." Jiang He exclaimed in surprise.

  He had a feeling that the current highland was no longer something he could take down at will, so he didn't make a move.

  "It's me. Luckily I didn't arrive late, if I hadn't met you, it would have been bad."

  "Oh, what does it mean?"

  "This treasure was left by my ancestors, the Gao family. To obtain the most precious thing inside, two things are required: one is a person with the blood of my ancestors, and the other is that treasure map. It not only indicates where the treasure is located but also serves as the key to open it." Gao Yuan said slowly.

  "Are you trying to snatch the treasure map from me?" Jiang He asked coldly.

  "I didn't get a good grasp of yours, so I think you and I should cooperate. Only by cooperating can we obtain the ultimate treasure."

  "Don't you want to avenge me for destroying your whole family?"

  "It's not time yet. What else are you worried about?" Gaoyuan sneered.

  "No, just collaborating with an enemy is really not my habit. However, if what you say is true, then collaborating with you is nothing. What about these people?"

  Jiang pointed at the people who rushed into the gate.

  "I've said it before, these people are moths to a flame, they go in but never come out." Gaoyuan said coldly.

  Jiang He took a deep breath, and his wariness of the plateau grew even stronger. The plateau was now speaking in a completely emotionless tone, having thoroughly become like a cold-blooded animal.

  "Let's go too," said Jiang He.

  Two people flew shoulder to shoulder into the treasure gate, but when they passed through the gate, Jiang He only felt that the treasure map in his arms moved slightly.

  "Bring it out, there are route signs on it," said Gao Yuan.

  Jiang took out the treasure map, and to his surprise, the treasure map had changed. On the top edge of the treasure map was a red dot with three words written on it: "Kuǐ Lěi Dào" (Puppet Way), which was the entrance. In the center of the treasure map were dense roads leading in all directions, resembling a maze. On these maze-like roads, a red line was marked out, leading directly from the entrance to the very center of the treasure.

  "What does this puppet road mean?" Jiang He asked.

  "As soon as you step through this gate, there are only three paths to take. The first is to obtain the treasure, and the second is to become a puppet of the treasure's owner. Since the vast majority of people will become puppets, it's called the Puppet Path."

  "What about the third way?"

  "A dead end!"

  Jiang He sighed and said: "I have another question, I heard that someone is deliberately spreading rumors that there is a treasure in the mountains of Mengshan, is it you who did it?"

  "It was done by my third uncle, but it's what I meant."

  "You're not afraid of a Golden Elixir cultivator coming for you? At that time, you'll just be like a bamboo basket trying to hold water - all in vain."

  "The puppet of the Golden Elixir period is more useful."

  "Don't hesitate anymore, from the moment you take your first step through the gate, the formation at the entrance has already been activated, and there's no turning back."

  The plateau suddenly said coldly.

  "I never thought of turning back, since the treasure map is in my hands, it means I have the luck to get this treasure." Jiang He suddenly quickened his pace, and soon a huge grand hall appeared before him.

  Jiang He stepped into the grand hall and suddenly heard a loud creaking sound. The passageway behind them had vanished out of thin air, as if they had been transported to another location.

  The grand hall was round, and on the circular wall of the grand hall, a passage appeared. However, there were many people standing still inside the grand hall, and when Jiang and Gao Yuan walked in, only a small number of people raised their heads to look.

  Gao Yuan opened a magical shield around them and said in a low voice, "Let's wait for a while before leaving, lest we arouse suspicion from others."

  "Haven't you noticed? We've been transferred to another place, I'm afraid the lines drawn on the map won't match either." said Jiang He.

  "It's not another place, but the same grand hall we saw from outside. The only difference is that the entrance can only be seen when entering from the outside. Once inside the grand hall, we can't see the entrance anymore."
