Chapter 103: The Immortal Mansion

  The last time they met Yuan Jue, Mu Yuan had already changed his appearance with the "stealing heaven and changing day" method, calling himself Bing Chengzi. However, when he came out of the broken Lian Yao Hu, he exhausted his true energy and was affected by the Doutu Lihuo Great Array, causing his magic to lose effect and revealing his true face. Although no one asked about it later, Yuan Jue still remembered the Guangming Putu curse on Mu Yuan's body.

  Seeing Yuanrong and the monk's enthusiastic face, Muyuan smiled and nodded. The two Kunlun disciples saw that they knew each other, so they slightly restrained themselves, looked up and down at Muyuan, and then the man in the magnificent clothes said, "Fellow Taoist is a disciple of Changsheng Palace?"

  Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist indeed has good eyesight. I am Mu Yuan from Changsheng Palace. May I ask how to address the two of you?" Mu Yuan had already forgotten that he had deceived Yuan Jue and others with the Daoist name "Bing Chengzi", so he spoke straightforwardly.

  The two disciples of the Kunlun Sect naturally did not know about these accidents, and seeing Mu Yuan had just neatly disposed of the Seven Kills Sect's disciple, they couldn't help but cast sideways glances. Although there were some thoughts about the demonic flag that Mu Yuan had obtained, it wasn't something they dwelled on. After all, evil sect artifacts were not only incompatible with their true energy, but also reeked of evil aura, which was something they would never use. Even Mu Yuan wouldn't use it, and if he hadn't thought about giving it to Chu Yunfei in the future, he really wouldn't have bothered to take it.

  "Below is Kunlun Lin Feiyun, this is my junior sister Nie Wushuang, greetings to fellow Taoists, nice to meet you!"

  Mu Yuan smiled and before he could speak, Yuan Jue asked, "How did fellow Taoist appear in the southern wilderness of Da Shan? Don't tell me you also know the secret of this immortal mansion?"

  "Huh? Secret of the Immortal Mansion?" Mu Yuan's face showed a look of surprise, and Yuan Jue said this, but was glanced at by Lin Fei Yun with a profound meaning. Mu Yuan thought for a moment, then understood, "This Yuan Jue is also feeling weak and alone, afraid that this Kunlun disciple will turn ruthless, so he casually mentioned it, pulling me in. However, since it's like this, how can I not go and join the excitement?"

  "I am ignorant and willing to listen, Master, please elaborate!" Mu Yuan's expression was humble, with a look of eagerness to receive instruction!

  "Haha, nothing much, just heard from nearby villagers that not far away there are often treasures and colorful lights. After inquiring, I found out that it's an ancient legend, many years ago a fairy had ascended to heaven here, leaving behind a cave mansion. Fellow Taoists might as well come together, who knows, maybe it's a good opportunity!" Lin Feiyun explained with a smile, seeing that he couldn't hide it from the people around him, so he frankly invited them.

  "Then I'd rather obey than show respect."

  He nodded and said to Cha Yun'er, "Yun'er, I'll go with these Daoist friends to the immortal mansion for a visit. The immortal's cave is heavily restricted and full of dangers, I might not have time to protect you, so it's better if you return to the camp first."

  Cha Yun'er really wanted to follow Mu Yuan, but she also knew that her cultivation was far too low compared to these few people. She didn't want to be a burden to Mu Yuan, so she reluctantly nodded her head. Her bright eyes were filled with tears, and Mu Yuan pretended not to see, turning his head away!

  Seeing Cha Yun'er's figure disappear into the distance, Lin Fei Xue smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you have a heart of stone, letting such a wonderful woman be sad for you."

  Muyuan smiled wryly and asked about the situation of the immortal mansion, but these three people had only occasionally heard of it, and they didn't know anything else. Muyuan sighed inwardly, although the immortal mansion was good, he wasn't overly eager, just thinking of going to try his luck and see if there was something suitable for himself!

  "Listening to Daoist friends say that the immortal mansion often has treasures and flames rushing into the sky at night, how come no one has discovered it?" Mu Yuan suddenly thought of something on the road and couldn't help but ask.

  "This is not hard to explain, this immortal mansion must have just been born recently, and the southern wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, many cultivators do not come here, it's not surprising that they can't be discovered. Like me, I also came to the southern wilderness to find a kind of spiritual medicine, otherwise I wouldn't have heard about it." Lin Feiyun was very easy to talk to, he spoke without reserve, and his words were sincere.

  "What brings Master Yuan again? Why hasn't he seen Master Yuande?"

  "Amitabha," replied Yuanjue, "I have other matters to attend to. Brother Yuanneng has returned to the temple because he wants to cultivate a divine power, but his technique of dividing his body is not yet complete, so he hasn't come here."

  Nuo Wusong's appearance was elegant and refined, but she clearly wasn't an easy person to talk to. Since meeting her, Mu Yuan hadn't seen her smile once, however, having witnessed Qi Mei's cold demeanor before, Mu Yuan found it normal and got used to it.

  "It's almost nearby, let's wait for the sky to darken and look for the place with the treasure light, it should be there!" Lin Feiyun stopped in his tracks, his white clothes fluttering in the wind, looking elegant and refined.

  Four people fell down, each adjusting their breath. Mu Yuan had seen Lin Fei Yun and Nie Wu Shuang's auras all along the way, both of which were unfathomably deep. Although they were about the same age as himself, he feared that they might already be at the Lianxu or even Dan Cheng stage of cultivation!

  Although Nie Wusuo doesn't like to talk and looks less elegant than Lin Feiyun, Mu Yuan always feels that she seems even more formidable than Lin Feiyun. Lin Feiyun's movements still have a traceable pattern, but Nie Wusuo's every move is as elusive as a goat hanging from a cliff, extremely ethereal and without any hint of worldly aura, as if she has already transcended the realm of ordinary people and achieved perfection in her cultivation!

  The immortal mansion was heavily restricted, and the four of them didn't dare to slack off. They adjusted their state to the best condition and waited for nightfall. Mu Yuan regulated his true energy before finding time to look at the Black Water Calabaza.

  The Seventh Kill disciple, trapped by the Great Wheel of Reincarnation Sword Array, surprisingly had not died yet. His body was pierced by the Six Harmony Sword Marrow Essence Hole, and the sword energy entered his body, only to be bound by the sword array again. Originally, it should have been a dead end, but when Mu Yuan took a closer look, he found that this person's physical body had already turned into powder within the sword array. However, this person seemed to have cultivated some secret technique and transformed into a gigantic python, with silver scales shining brightly and fierce eyes glaring violently, about 30-40 feet long, coiled in the sword array, constantly spewing smoke and fog to resist the sword energy!

  It was just that the Seventh Kill's disciple couldn't withstand Mu Yuan's Heavenly Cycle Sword Array to begin with, and now that he had lost his physical body, although this python was much sturdier than his original human form, many of his powerful spells couldn't be used, and he could only urge on a mouthful of yuanqi, conjuring up spells, but still unable to withstand the sword energy, which crashed against his body with a loud clang.

  "This spell is quite strange!" Mu Yuan's mind stirred, his divine sense entered the array, temporarily stopping the sword array. His divine sense materialized, and the large snake hissed, proudly coiled, with scarlet tongue constantly dripping saliva, its fierce eyes staring at Mu Yuan!

  "Who are you? If you tell me the truth, I might spare your life!" Mu Yuan said in a roundabout way.

  "I am Hu Zongnan, a disciple of the Seven Killings Sect. Who are you?" A loud and coarse voice echoed from within the giant snake's belly, buzzing like an iron bell.

  "Look, you still don't understand the situation. You're trapped by me right now, and yet you're still so arrogant. Do you really think that just because I have a large body, I won't be able to deal with you?"

  With a wave of his hand, the Great Wheel of Heaven's Sword Array roared into operation, over a hundred flying swords vibrating in unison, like lightning flashing and whirling, stirring up boundless sword energy. The surrounding thunderbolts surged in, pouring down in a torrent, like the Milky Way cascading down, the heavenly river hanging upside down!

  In the belly of Hu Zongnan's snake, a demonic banner faintly emerged, stirring up smoke and gas, which surged back up to resist the thunderbolts above. The only thing that could be felt was the tremors, but fortunately, this python's body was sturdy enough to withstand it, and it did not yield, thinking that the wood element was useless!

  Mu Yuan saw that Hu Zongnan indeed had a way to block his Lei Sha sword array, and he didn't rush. He stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the Changsheng sword broke through the gourd and entered it. Now inside the gourd, Mu Yuan wasn't afraid of being discovered. The Minghe Xian sword was powerful, but in terms of offense, it couldn't compare to Chu Yunfei's Tiandu sword. However, this Changsheng sword was incredibly powerful, and when he activated it, it entered the sword array, transforming into a shocking purple rainbow that pierced through from afar!

  Hu Zongnan thought that Mu Yuan's means were limited to this, but he didn't expect there was another divine soldier. The black air spewed out by the sword immediately retreated like boiling water splashing on snow when it encountered the Longsheng Sword. The sword energy surrounded and cut off the giant python at its waist, opening a deep wound over a foot long. Fresh blood gushed out, almost cutting it in two. Hu Zongnan cried out in pain and saw the sword light flying towards him, his face deathly pale. He hastily shouted, "Fellow Taoist, spare my life! I surrender to you, begging for mercy. Don't kill me!"

  Mu Yuan still had something to ask, and hadn't thought of killing the demon with one blow. He immediately put away the Longevity Sword, transformed into a purple light that jumped in mid-air, and laughed as he asked, "Cultivators who haven't formed their yuan Shen can't choose a new body, how did you seize this python's body?"

  Hu Zongnan didn't dare to hide it anymore, looking at the purple rainbow jumping in the air, he explained straightforwardly, "The Taoist cultivates the primordial spirit, and the refining of qi is not something that can be taken lightly. However, many side doors are difficult to cultivate, so they take a different path, plundering the longevity of spiritual beasts, relying on the long years to cultivate, seeking immortality. This method in my sect is called 'Seven Kills Primordial Spirit', it's not particularly brilliant, it's just driving away the soul of the spiritual beast and attaching oneself to it, many secrets in between are also a family secret."

  "Oh?" Mu Yuan did not expect that there was such a magical technique, and after asking a few more questions, Hu Zongnan only asked for his life to be spared, and he told Mu Yuan all about the spiritual method of this road. Mu Yuan took a look at it, and although this technique couldn't compare with the great masters, it had its own unique subtleties, and he immediately grasped it.

  "Where did that demonic banner come from? It doesn't seem to be a technique of the Seven Killings Sect!" Hu Zongnan, heavily injured and suppressed by the sword array, had his Heavenly One Qi Seizing Hand released, directly seizing the demonic banner. The dark energy churned, making Mu Yuan feel dizzy and nauseous. He knew it was treacherous and quickly used his true energy to suppress it. However, he also discovered that it seemed to have some connection with the Soul-Gathering Banner in Chu Yunfei's hand, so he asked specifically.

  "This demonic banner is called the 'Ghost Banner', it was accidentally discovered in a cave deep within the mountains of Nan Xuan, and fearing that his sect would take it away from him, he secretly cultivated its power. This time is still the first time using it, but was subdued by fellow Taoist."

  Mu Yuan listened to Hu Zongnan's discontent, just smiled and threw the ghost flag into the Mirage Thousand Fantasy Array, "You wait, after parting with these people, I'll find a quiet place where no one is around, and then let you out, I won't go back on my word."

  Hu Zongnan was grateful, and the wooden yuan's consciousness exited the gourd. As he looked up, he saw that the sky had already darkened. Indeed, a mountain range blocked his view, but a spark of treasure light revolved around him like a gentle whirlwind, which was quite beautiful to behold.
