Everything Settled

Chapter 62

The Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele had already fallen into Li Changmeng's hands without anyone else knowing. The other cultivators' search throughout the Lishan Mountain Range was destined to be in vain.

Three days later, high in the sky...

"True Lord Chang, you should have considered carefully how to deal with that Dao Flower, right?"

"Hmph, make sure I get what I'm owed."

"Don't worry. Our Zhengxuan Sect always keeps its word."

In the sky, three Nascent Soul True Lords were facing each other, with one of them showing a faint aura.

These three True Lords were from the Zhengxuan Sect, Guyang Sect, and Chang Family in the Ten Cities Alliance. They were the closest to the Lishan Mountain Range, so they came to maintain order.

An ancient treasure was just an ordinary spiritual artifact to them, Nascent Soul True Lords. It would be great to obtain it, but if not, it wasn't a big deal either. They just let their younger disciples strive for it on their own.

However, a trace of Dao rhyme that suddenly emerged had alarmed them.

That flower clearly represented a certain Dao. With this flower, it might be possible to cultivate more Core Formation, Golden Core, and even Nascent Soul cultivators.

So, for a faction, it was far more important than an ancient treasure.

The three of them left only a trace of their spiritual consciousness to ensure the whereabouts of the Dao Flower and then engaged in a battle.

As a result, the Zhengxuan Sect obtained the Dao Flower, but they also had to compensate the other two.

The price was that they couldn't reveal the information about the Dao Flower and should just act as if an ordinary ancient treasure had emerged.

"After all these days, the ancient treasure hasn't been found. I guess the information is false. Weren't there evil cultivators around some time ago? I bet they were the ones behind this. Later, our Zhengxuan Sect will send a Golden Core elder to deal with this matter," said the Nascent Soul elder of the Zhengxuan Sect, He Lianzheng.

"That's reasonable," the other two nodded in agreement.

He Lianzheng, the Nascent Soul elder of the Zhengxuan Sect, sent a voice transmission downward, "The matter of the ancient treasure ends here. Leave the inner area of the Lishan Mountain Range within an hour, or you'll bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were still searching for the ancient treasure rushed towards the outer area of the mountain range.

As soon as the hour was up, He Lianzheng released the demonic beasts that he had captured earlier and placed them back in the inner area of the mountain range.

Then, the auras of the Nascent Soul True Lords disappeared.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators present either quickly found their own Core Formation or Golden Core cultivators to stay with or fled the place at the fastest speed.

Even without the ancient treasure, they had gained a lot from this trip. They didn't want to be robbed by other cultivators.

Li Changmeng took the opportunity to return to the station of the Feilai Sword Sect. The team of ten people had returned, but three were missing.

"Where's He Zichan?"

The Core Formation elder in charge took a look and found that He Zichan was among the three who were missing.

When they came, her father had told him to take good care of He Zichan.

However, no one answered.

The Lishan Mountain Range was so large, and they had separated. Logically speaking, the Feilai Sword Sect was good at attacks and battles, and they were in pairs, so they shouldn't have encountered any problems.

At this moment, on the other side, a Golden Core cultivator roared angrily, "Who's plotting against our Yin-Yang Formation Sect?"

No one answered.

The Core Formation elder of the Feilai Sword Sect suddenly guessed that perhaps they had been implicated by the people of the Yin-Yang Formation Sect.

The two sects had a good relationship. They might have helped each other when encountering problems, which led to He Zichan's death...

It seemed that this was the only reason.

No one really cared about Li Cheng's death. Li Changmeng simply said that he had been killed by another force while competing for spiritual items.

Li Changmeng was an outsider Foundation Establishment cultivator from a casual cultivator background. It was understandable that he might have held Li Cheng back when they were in a team. Losses were not surprising.

Even the Nascent Soul sects had suffered losses, so it was normal for the Feilai Sword Sect to have losses too.

Not dwelling on it anymore, the Core Formation elder Zhang Lai led the disciples and left.

The clone that had been recognized as the master by the spiritual artifact was originally in the outer area, so it quickly escaped from the Lishan Mountain Range.

However, it seemed that he was still being targeted.

"There's a Core Formation cultivator following you. He probably wants to wait until you move a bit further before attacking you," the Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele sent a reminder.

Li Changmeng didn't expect that he had left so quickly but was still targeted.

Or perhaps it was precisely because he had left so quickly that the person thought he had made some amazing gains.

However, a dignified Core Formation cultivator was being so cautious and was still waiting for an opportunity to deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the early stage like him.

Li Changmeng had no choice but to change his route and move towards some more secluded places.

At the same time, he communicated with the Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele through his spiritual consciousness, "Later, help me control him when the time comes, just like you made me unable to move in the cave before. Is that okay?"

"Control him? Although I can do it, why not just kill him directly? What's the point of controlling him?"

The Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele was a bit puzzled. What was the use of controlling the cultivator? The more times it took action, the greater the risk of exposure.

"Um... I don't need to control him for long. Just control him at the moment when he can't help but attack me. I have a use for him."

Li Changmeng didn't explain in detail, but his two evil cultivator clones were already rushing towards this place at the fastest speed.

If they could refine this Core Formation cultivator, perhaps the two evil cultivator clones that had been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage could break through to the Core Formation stage in one go.

The Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele didn't understand but respected his decision.

It paid attention to the Core Formation cultivator behind who thought he was hiding well and was ready to control him at any moment.

After walking a long distance, Li Changmeng came to an extremely secluded place, a perfect place for killing and looting.

"You've been running in a panic all the way. Let's see what good things you've got that made you run to such a secluded place."

Finally, the Core Formation cultivator behind couldn't hold back and jumped out.

"Can't hold it in anymore? The things are naturally good. I'm just afraid you can't handle them!"

As he spoke, the Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele exerted an invisible pressure.

"What's going on?"

The Core Formation cultivator realized something was wrong, but when he tried to move, he found that the space around him had been sealed.

"Is it an ancient treasure?!"

Since a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the early stage could do this to him, he could only guess that the other party had obtained an ancient treasure.

"Little brother, let's talk things out. Let me go, and I have a lot of spiritual items in my cave abode. I'll give them all to you."

Being controlled, the Core Formation cultivator changed his tune.

"I'm not interested in your spiritual items, but..."

"But what? I'll give you anything I have! I'm even willing to serve you as a servant!"

A Core Formation cultivator had a lifespan of 500 years. With some longevity elixirs, living to be 600 or 700 years old wasn't impossible.

He didn't want to die! Who would have thought that this little Foundation Establishment cultivator at the early stage wasn't a fat pig but a hungry tiger.

"But I'm very interested in your whole being. Senior, take action!"

The evil cultivator clones had arrived, and he didn't want to waste any more words.

The pressure that restricted the space instantly increased a hundredfold, turning the Core Formation cultivator into a splash of blood.

The two evil cultivator clones quickly jumped out and, while the blood was still fresh, began to refine the cultivator.

"Why do you know evil cultivators?"

The Primordial Spirit Source Celestial Opening Stele had noticed these two people before. It was just that Li Changmeng had said they were his friends, so it didn't interfere. But it was surprised that Li Changmeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the early stage, actually knew evil cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

While asking the question, the Core Formation cultivator had already been refined by the two evil cultivator clones. The bottleneck that had been difficult to break through disappeared instantly under the impact of the vast nourishment from the Core Formation cultivator.

Spiritual qi gathered between heaven and earth, and the phenomenon of forming a Core Formation appeared!
