Chapter 401: Escape in advance and Go to the Great Jin!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Xuan naturally knew how tragic the upcoming chaotic battle in the Heavenly South would be. In the original novel, even Old Demon Han almost died. His second Nascent Soul had escaped, and he was only a small Core Formation cultivator. He naturally had to make plans early.
“It’s not easy to go to the Great Jin Empire!” Mu Xuan muttered to himself.
In the entire mortal cultivation world, Tiannan was considered a remote corner. If one used the terrain of the Asian continent on Earth, Tiannan was the Siberian area, the Tianlan Grassland was the northeast plain, and the Great Jin Empire, which was prosperous in cultivation, was naturally the Central Divine Continent.
The Great Jin Empire was located in the southwest of the Heavenly South
Region. It needed to cross the Tianlan Plains controlled by the Moulan and Soaring Tribes and follow the Heavenly Water River to reach it.
Fortunately, the Moulan and Soaring Tribes had yet to enter a white-hot battle. It was still possible for them to go to the Great Jin Empire.
When the Moulan and Soaring Tribes fought for control of the Sky Ridge Plains with all their might, it would definitely be impossible with their Core
Formation cultivation. In the original novel, Old Demon Han almost failed to go to the Great Jin Empire.
“After crossing the Sky Ridge Grassland, I can’t bring Xiao Ming and Qingyu.. Mu Xuan shook his head. Of course, his life was more important.
In the next few years, Mu Xuan lived in seclusion, but he secretly went out from time to time to find opportunities to kill demonic cultivators and snatch their spirit stones!
Of course, Mu Xuan did it very secretly and didn’t attack many times. He didn’t aim at important people, so for a moment, no one discovered his actions.
Mu Xuan naturally did this to raise funds and buy magic treasures, divine powers, and spells.
For the entire ten years, Mu Xuan was busy with this matter, and the results were also very gratifying. There was a supreme-grade spirit weapon, the Silver Space Shuttle, that specialized in traveling. This Silver Space Shuttle was very small. Most importantly, it was added with a special material that could block spiritual senses. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would ignore it if they didn’t investigate carefully.
There was also the magic treasure, the Black Tortoise Shield. This medium-grade magic treasure had no other abilities. It only had one word:
resistant to beatings!
In terms of spells, Mu Xuan worked hard and finally obtained a top-notch spell: Great Sun Demon Light. It was obtained from a demonic cultivator. It was said to have originated from a sect in the Great Jin Empire.
According to the introduction, this Great Sun Demon Light could gather the light of the Great Sun and form a demon light with unparalleled power. The more Great Sun Flame accumulated, the stronger the Great Sun Demon Light it could unleash.
Mu Xuan tried it. The Great Sun Demon Light that he had gathered for a year could actually kill an early-stage Core Formation cultivator.
Apart from the Great Sun Demon Light, Mu Xuan also created the Invisibility
Technique. He relied on the power of light to hide his figure. Coupled with the Xuanqing Breath Holding Technique he bought with a huge sum of money, with the cooperation, he could directly ignore Core Formation cultivators. Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t notice him.
With so many preparations, Mu Xuan finally decided to go to the Great Jin Empire.
Before leaving, Mu Xuan secretly brought his two concubines to Cold Light
Town. After all, once he left, it was very likely that his two beautiful concubines
would be occupied by other Core Formation cultivators. At that time, wouldn’t he have to wear a green hat?!
In Cold Light Town, Mu Xuan bought two more courtyards and lived in seclusion.
Zhuang Xiaoming was a little puzzled by Mu Xuan’s actions and said in confusion, “Husband, what are you…”
Xu Qingyu, who was at the side, was also very puzzled. He didn’t stay in East Stream Mountain but came to this remote Cold Light Town. Could it be that her husband had provoked a Nascent Soul cultivator?!
Mu Xuan shook his head and said, “I’m going to explore a secret place. I might need time to bring you guys to live in seclusion here for your safety. Do you understand?”
After a pause, Mu Xuan warned, “Unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t expose your identity as a cultivator. If I don’t return for a long time, settle down in
Cold Light Town. Don’t return to East Stream Mountain, understand?!”
“Understood, husband!” Zhuang Xiaoming and Xu Qingyu said in unison.
Mu Xuan nodded gently and spent half a month with his two concubines. He left a letter and quietly left…
At first, no one noticed Mu Xuan’s departure. It wasn’t until a few years later that the Zhuang family realized that something was wrong. Not only did Mu Xuan disappear, but even Mu Xuan’s two concubines disappeared, so the news spread.
Of course, the news of Old Monster Xu’s disappearance didn’t cause much of a stir. At most, it was just a topic of conversation for some cultivators.
Ten years later, a Core Formation cultivator took a fancy to East Stream Mountain and forcefully occupied it, establishing the East Stream Sect. At this point, Mu Xuan’s disguise as Old Monster Xu was tacitly acknowledged by the world as death.
At first, Zhuang Xiaoming and Xu Qingyu stayed in Cold Light Town very peacefully. However, as time passed, Zhuang Xiaoming finally couldn’t help but leave Cold Light Town.
However, in the end, Zhuang Xiaoming never returned to Cold Light Town. No one Imew if Zhuang Xiaoming had returned to the Zhuang family or if she had died in an unknown corner.
Xu Qingyu followed Mu Xuan’s instructions and didn’t leave Cold Light Town. Later on, when the Heavenly South was in chaos, she didn’t dare to leave and stayed in Cold Light Town for decades…
Of course, this was all in the future.
After Mu Xuan left Cold Light, he spent a full year passing through more than ten countries and finally arrived at the southernmost part of the Heavenly South, Fengyuan Country.
Starting from Fengyuan Country, after passing through the yellow sand area, it was the Tianlan Great Prairie.
The Sky Ridge Great Prairie was extremely vast, comparable to the entire Heavenly South Region. The north was the world of the Moulan, the enemy of the cultivators of the Heavenly South Region, while the south was the even more ruthless Soaring Tribes.
Although the Sky Blue Grassland was vast, its resources were even inferior to the Heavenly South. Therefore, the Moulan would invade the Heavenly South from time to time for resources. For more than a thousand years, the Heavenly South and the Moulan had become mortal enemies, the kind that would fight to the death!
Decades later, the Soaring Tribes obtained the help of the cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty and defeated the Moulan in one go, forcing the Moulan to retreat from the Sky Ridge Grassland and become the new source of calamity in the Heavenly South..
Of course, at this moment, the entire Sky Ridge Plains was still considered calm. The situation was still considered stable. After Mu Xuan passed through the yellow sand area, he disguised himself as a grassland immortal master and moved unhurriedly towards the Soaring Tribes’ territory.
It took Mu Xuan a full four years to arrive at the border between the Moulan and Soaring Tribes.
Next, it was naturally time to sneak into the Soaring Tribe’s territory and disguise as an immortal master.
On this day, Mu Xuan relied on the Invisibility Technique and the Xuanqing Breath Holding Technique to finally step into the Soaring Tribes’ territory while the two sides were trading.
Not long after entering the Soaring Tribe, Mu Xuan changed his appearance again. Even his appearance aged by more than ten years and he became middle-aged and approached the Soaring Tribe’s hinterland.
Naturally, he quickly attracted the attention of the Soaring Tribe patrol team. “Stop, which tribe are you from?”
Mu Xuan chuckled and said, “Reporting to Sage, I’m from the Ah Ni Bucha Tribe…
After being in the Moulan territory for more than four years, not only did Mu Xuan learn the Moulan language, but he also learned the Soaring Tribe’s language and various information. It was simply easy for him to disguise himself as a low-level Soaring Tribe immortal master.
After a careful inspection, the patrol team let Mu Xuan go and let him continue to advance towards the hinterland.
After three rounds of inspection, Mu Xuan finally arrived at the core area of the
Soaring Tribes..
