Chapter 114: Rushing to Another Faction

  In front of the Tianmo Palace, behind the Qing Shui Palace, both were successively exterminated. Mu Yuan heard that his heart was frightened, and he thought it was dangerous, but he didn't dare to stay any longer. He said, "This southern barbarian mountain has become a dangerous place. I think we should leave here first and go outside the barbarian mountain. There are people from various sects who protect the land of cultivation. We can block the edge of this demon saint!"

  Everyone had no good solution, so they all nodded and set off on their journey. Along the way, they encountered several groups of ferocious beasts, but with Mu Yuan and others present, they were fed a few powerful spells!

  Slowly, Mu Yuan discovered that except for the newly condensed Fire Curse, the other four Great Curses had absorbed enough essence and souls after devouring a large amount of them. Especially that one Earth Dragon Curse, which used thirteen crystal pillars to swallow the most essence, didn't even spare the souls of demonic beasts, and underwent new changes.

  The Earthly Spirit Curse not only can erode true energy and absorb yuan power, but also can infiltrate the opponent's divine consciousness, forcibly plundering their memories. It has a similar effect to the Soul Searching Secret Technique of the demonic path and the Fetal Transformation Divine Spirit Technique of the Taoist school, making Mu Yuan even more admiring of the person who created this great curse!

  Originally able to derive the most suitable divine beast or demon body through true energy attributes, it was already unbelievable. In the end, it could even evolve into an undead god's physique. Now, it can also give birth to a law that plunders divine consciousness. What changes will there be in the future? It is truly stealing the creation of heaven and earth!

  Now, Mu Yuan has five major curses in his hands. Among them, the most powerful one is undoubtedly the "戍土麟咒" (Earthly Soil Lin Curse). After all, the thirteen yellow sand crystal pillars it devoured were each refined through multiple layers of ritual offerings. Once stacked together, their power is boundless. Now that they have all been merged into his body, he can manifest them at will, far surpassing the others.

  Having witnessed the power of the Earth Dragon's Crystal Pillar, Mu Yuan moved his mind and took out the Azure Wood Thunder Sword in his hand. Now he had many flying swords and sword pellets in his hand, but this one won from Hua Zhenzi was somewhat unworthy, so he directly gave it to Changsheng Zhou!

  The green dragon transformed by the Longevity Incantation was indeed extremely excited, and it completely turned into a ball of green light that enveloped him, slowly seeping inside.

  Bì Mù Bēn Léi Jiàn is a decent flying sword, but in Mù Yuán's hands it doesn't even make the cut, and would be better off being devoured by Cháng Shēng Zhòu to increase his own combat strength.

  The green light transformed by the Longevity Incantation slowly covered the Azure Wood Thunder Sword, and soon the sword itself began to disintegrate, dispersing into clusters of talismans that swirled around. The materials used for refining the sword, including the Xuanjin Yujing, Yin Tie Ling Sha, were all broken down into granular form. Even the True Fire used for tempering the Flying Sword was transformed and emerged, only to be enveloped by the green light bit by bit, dissolving within it!

  Having gained so many benefits, the Longevity Incantation transformed into a green dragon once again. As it danced and leaped about, its body emitted a faint layer of green lightning aura. Mu Yuan attempted to activate the Earthly Dragon Incantation, causing a crystal pillar to burst forth and press down upon the dragon. A loud, metallic clang echoed through the air as a longsword suddenly erupted from the dragon's back, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Azure Wood Thunderbolt Sword. However, the lightning aura surrounding it was even more intense than before, constantly colliding with the crystal pillar in a spectacular display of light and sound. The two forces were evenly matched!

  "It's still those few crystal pillars that are incredibly powerful, and just one of them can withstand the might of the Azure Wood Thunder Sword!" Mu Yuan saw that the Azure Wood Thunder Sword seemed to be even more powerful, but he also understood that when he previously wielded this sword, it was before he had cultivated his aura. And among the various thunder techniques of the Five Elements Path, the most formidable ones were still those born from the friction and fusion of yin and yang auras, such as the Wood God Thunder, Water God Thunder, Earth God Thunder... Although Mu Yuan previously had the ability to compress water into thunder, it couldn't be considered true thunder technique!

  The mighty thunder is about to move, and the great curse related to the original breath of Mu Yu will be able to respond and use this kind of divine power. With the cooperation of Jia Wood Thunder God and Yi Wood Thunder God in the Longsheng Palace, the power of the Azure Wood Flashing Thunder Sword will be even greater, which is also expected!

  They traveled safely, left the Nanman Mountains and arrived in the territory of Tiandu. The villagers from Feilong Village submitted a petition to the local government and were settled down, even allocated land and houses, which was quite unexpected. After inquiring, it turned out that recently many people had escaped from the Nanman Mountains and fled to neighboring countries. This move was actually to win over the hearts of the people. Tianyu and Tiangong both had their own policies, but Muyuan didn't bother with these political issues and only asked about the plans of the two Qing Shui Palace brothers after arranging for these people.

  Along the way, they learned that the older nun was named Meng Shui Rou, who was steady in her actions and had a strong grasp of magic. The other one was called Yue Lian Zhu, who was still at the stage of condensing her magic. When Mu Yuan asked about their plans, Yue Lian Zhu was uncertain, but Meng Shui Rou said, "For now, our only option is to join another sect and seek a way to secure our safety. The Clear Water Palace has been destroyed, and everyone has scattered. As for how we will continue our cultivation from now on, we don't know either. We can only change our method of cultivation and seek a new path."

  Mu Yuan nodded slightly, secretly thinking "it can't be helped", and upon hearing Meng Shui Rou mention the Tossing Faction, his heart couldn't help but stir. He hastily said, "If that's the case, I have an impolite request, I don't know if the two Daoist friends can grant it?"

  Meng Shui Rou smiled and said, "Brother Dao's words are too serious. Both of our lives were saved by you, but we have a mission to complete and will not disobey orders!" Yue Lian Bai also shared the same sentiment.

  Mu Yuan's face turned slightly red as he saw the two speaking, and he didn't know what was going on, but simply said, "Since you two fellow Taoists want to change your cultivation method, can I impart some of Qing Shui Palace's heart techniques?"

  As soon as they heard this, both of them were taken aback. Although Yue Ruo Zhu didn't say anything, her face showed a hint of disappointment. Meng Shui Rou was taken aback for a moment before she smiled and said, "What's the point of that? The Qing Shui Palace is already a thing of the past, this heart secret isn't some untold secret anymore. If it can be spread far and wide in the hands of fellow Taoists, it's better than being treasured by my sister!"

  She said, taking out a thin booklet from a silk pouch at her waist, "This was given to me by an elder in a hurry when the demon beast attacked the mountain. Originally, only two of us had the oral formula for Dan Cheng, but now it's complete. However, I couldn't give you the original book, so take it and copy it down. This booklet is just right as a token of my sisters' gratitude to your sect!"

  Mu Yuan smiled and thanked him, flipped through the book, and didn't need to copy it down. After opening his eyes, his mind was vast, and he almost forgot nothing after reading it once. He just flipped through it once and remembered the contents of the book clearly.

  The mantra of the Qing Shui Palace is called "Qing Liu Di Xin Huan Zhen Jue", which is not considered to be a high-level technique, but rather a water-based technique that belongs to the five elements. However, it can stir up the true energy and cleanse the five organs, thereby igniting the heart fire and giving rise to the power of fire. This is indeed an unusual phenomenon! "No wonder the two people just now used copper rings to stimulate the fire snake, I suppose it's because of this!"

  After returning the booklet to the two, Meng Shui Rou and Yue Ran Zhu bid farewell and left. Only after they were gone did Cha Yun Er smile and say, "Mu Da Ge, just now I thought you were going to promise those two sisters your body."

  Mu Yuan was taken aback and laughed, "What's going on in that little brain of yours? Am I that kind of person?"

  Cha Yun'er laughed happily, "It's not just me who thinks this way, those two sisters obviously think so too. Didn't you see that when you said you wanted to study the Qing Shui Palace incantation, they both looked disappointed? Hmph, it's a rare opportunity for our sect to encounter a young and talented, powerful and handsome gentleman. If we marry him, we won't have to leave our home to seek refuge in another sect. Who wouldn't want this good fortune?"

  Mu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, and simply patted her shoulder, no longer speaking. Xiang Fang finally spoke up herself, it's really easy to misunderstand, shaking her head in bitter laughter, no longer paying attention. Seeing that everyone in Fei Long Zhai had settled down, she didn't want to stay any longer, and with a swift movement, she left!

  Cha Yun'er stomped her foot and was about to fly into the air, but soon lost sight of Mu Yuan's figure. She could only turn back and return to the ground, going to settle into her new home!

  Mu Yuan walked west for over a hundred miles before stopping, seeing below him a dense forest, and then descended, finding no one around, leaning against a giant tree, silently recalling the Qing Liu Di Xin Zhen Jue.

  This Taoist scripture is somewhat like the Buddhist supernatural power, emphasizing the clarity of the spiritual platform, the purity of the Taoist heart, and the transparency of the mind. It is in line with the saying "enlightened mind sees nature". Although it differs from the Taoist cultivation of refining one's nature, Mu Yuan doesn't care, silently sensing that clear water vapor, guiding it into his body, flowing back and forth through his muscles and veins, from dripping water gathering into a stream, then into rivers, finally converging into the Dan Tian, forming a vast ocean!

  Each sect can be passed down, and there is a reason for its existence. The clear stream cleanses the mind and still has the subtlety of the true method, but it's not in other places, rather it's in the internal organs and viscera opening up new aspects, somewhat similar to the demonic sect's body refinement method. In short, the Tao is not the Tao, the Buddha is not the Buddha, the demon is not the demon, belonging to a miscellaneous school of thought, scattered repair school.

  Muyuan Zheng planned to disguise himself as a disciple of the Qing Shui Palace, go west to try his luck, and if he could meet the successor of the Five Elements Golden Way, he would enter his door and obtain the eternal formula, which was the most ideal thing!

  However, this is also based on the jade slip he obtained in the Nanman Xianfu before. During the period of closed retreat to cultivate the Dajitian Fire Technique, he flipped through the jade slip and was somewhat disappointed at that time. Inside, it wasn't some kind of mysterious Taoist technique, but rather some techniques for using magical abilities, among which there was a set called "Yin Yang Xuan Shen Suo Qi". It seals one's divine consciousness along with their true energy, so even a cultivator in the Yuanshen realm can't see through its subtleties. Originally, Mu Yuan thought it was a useless technique, but now he is overjoyed!

  He didn't think that he had mastered the Qing Shui Palace's heart technique, and then jumped to another sect and told lies one after another. Which elder in any sect isn't wise and knowledgeable? They can see the changes in their own true energy with just a little attention, and they can spot anything unusual. With this "Yin Yang Xuan Shen Suo Qi", it's perfect!

  It just so happened that the Southern Wilderness was in great chaos, and a demon saint suddenly appeared from somewhere, killing people everywhere, plundering treasures and causing destruction. The Southern Wilderness cultivators were forced to flee, their sects destroyed. This gave Mu Yuan the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. His top priority now was to cultivate the Qing Liu Xuan Xin Jue to the third layer of perfection, then rush to the Western Heavenly Dragon Kingdom to find the successor of the Fang Jin Yong Heng Jue!
