Chapter 215: Chapter 115: First Arrival in the Wei Kingdom

Cultivators who have condensed a True Core are difficult to capture alive unless overwhelmed by absolute strength.

The ruthless ones can self-destruct their dantian, creating an impact comparable to a blow from the Late Stage of Core Formation.

However, this woman is at the Early Stage of True Core and encounters Yu Ziyu, a Golden Core cultivator, along with Ye Jingyu, who is experienced in combat, acts decisively, is still at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, and whose magical power of True Flame Hundred Forgings is far superior to ordinary metal attribute magical power.

Being captured instantly is no surprise.

However, Ye Jingyu has no intention of coercing a confession, directly spreading his five fingers to perform Soul Searching.

Moments later, the female cultivator’s sea of knowledge shattered, and she collapsed to the ground.

Ye Jingyu’s gaze tightened, a sharp golden light flashed, and the female cultivator’s dantian shattered, leaving her decapitated.

Then, a wisp of golden flame emerged from within, turning her to ashes in an instant.

There was no hint of pity for the beauty.

“Let’s go, change location to speak.” After finishing everything, Ye Jingyu led the group, his figure flashed, and he vanished without a trace.

Li Jizhou followed closely.

Shortly, the four arrived at a hill one hundred miles east of Cold Frost City.

“Senior Brother, how is it?” Zhou Cang asked expectantly.

Ye Jingyu frowned slightly, shook his head: “The sea of knowledge had a special imprint; once forcibly breached, it instantly shatters. However, in that instant, it was confirmed that this woman is the assistant inspector of the Joyful Sect of Wei Kingdom, specializing in cultivation techniques that absorb essence.”

“Joyful Sect? One of the Nine Sects of Demon Dao! I fear the situation in Wei Kingdom is truly not optimistic.” Yu Ziyu’s expression turned slightly cold.

Then both looked at Li Jizhou.

“Friend Han, you have tracked all the way from the Southern Domain to here, you must be someone who cares for the world; we brothers don’t want to hide from you, the situation with Demon Dao is more complex and dangerous than you think. Going to Wei Kingdom is like entering a dragon’s lair, a tiger’s den, likely perilous!”

To voluntarily take an oath risking a Heart Demon in the cultivation world; during the process, monitored by Ye Jingyu’s Divine Sense, rivaling the Peak of Core Formation, Li Jizhou has already gained their recognition.

However, regarding Master Han expressing his intentions to them, they feel he may have lived too comfortably in the cultivation life before, not quite adapting to the treacherous and unpredictable cultivation world of Yan and Wei Kingdom.

Especially in contending with Demon Dao, so they want to advise him.

“I, Han, have been stuck at the Early Stage of Core Formation for hundreds of years, knowing there’s no hope for the immortal path. Before dying, if I can do something for the beings of the Southern Domain, it wouldn’t be a wasted life!” Yet Li Jizhou spoke without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyu and the other three solemnly nodded in respect.

This aligns with their wishes.

“Then let’s go through it together!”

“It’s an honor!”

“Master Han, this mask can absorb essence blood and simulate aura; I just absorbed the witch’s essence blood, you wear it, otherwise it may be difficult to enter.” Yu Ziyu then handed Li Jizhou a human skin mask.

Although he had already seen Yu Ziyu’s mask on Xiaogang Peak, he still showed a bit of surprise at this moment.

Because the mask’s traits, surprisingly, are similar to his Evergreen Skill’s age-ring trait.

It’s likely developed as a treasure from ancient Evergreen Skill traits.

Especially when he put on the mask, although it was inferior to the age-ring trait, a strange and same-origin feeling emerged.

“Could it be that Wuxiang Sect’s founding ancestor also practiced Evergreen Skill?”

Putting on the mask, Master Han instantly turned into a charming demon sect witch.

Yu Ziyu then tossed him a female cultivator’s robe.

Though it’s his first time in women’s clothing, even as a disguise, Li Jizhou still felt a bit uncomfortable.

It wasn’t until the four reached the border of Wei Kingdom that he forced himself to accept it.

Upon reaching Wei Kingdom’s border, a light curtain appeared before them.

Wei Kingdom was truly covered by a large array.

However, the array’s tier isn’t high, only a Tier Two array, and mainly serves as an alarm, which is understandable.

If it were a complete array covering the vast expanse of Wei Kingdom with a Tier Three array, the cost would be enormous, and just the materials for a Tier Three array would probably be astronomical.

“Who goes there?” Shortly after the light curtain lit up, a group of cultivators came swiftly on a flying ship.

A Fake Pill cultivator led, seven Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounding.

“Black Water Commerce Association of the alliance, by order of the chairman, comes to Wei Kingdom seeking Tier Four Spirit Wood!” Ye Jingyu held his head high, a black brilliance flashed across his brow.

Clearly, Ye Jingyu and the others had done quite a bit of groundwork before and had grasped some Information about the commerce alliance through unknown means.

Immediately, Zhou Cang and Yu Ziyu also had black patterns flash across their brows.

The patrol team signalled them to enter with a wave, without further words.

As for Li Jizhou, the distinctive aura of Joyful Sect didn’t need intentional release, he flew straight through, unimpeded.

Entering Wei Kingdom, Li Jizhou kept his longevity sensing continuously activated, always alert to unknown threats.

Until they continued their flight for half a month, the four finally stopped at a desolate cliff to exchange.

Yu Ziyu first activated a chessboard array to shield against spying.

This array was previously discarded by Li Jizhou, who remembered it being sold long ago.

Unexpectedly, it was kept by Yu Ziyu for emergency storage.

“Though we entered Wei Kingdom smoothly, the situation inside remains unknown; previously we performed Soul Searching on numerous commerce alliance scoundrels, none had entered Wei Kingdom.” Ye Jingyu stated the current situation in a somber voice.

“Not even a map, it’s indeed a bit blind, but luckily our reason is to seek Spirit Wood for the chairman, wandering around should be reasonable.” Zhou Cang agreed.

Yu Ziyu pondered for a moment, ultimately agreeing with Zhou Cang’s words: “Indeed, let’s wander around, our aim is to understand the situation in Wei Kingdom.”

“Master Han, what’s your opinion?”

Li Jizhou nodded: “Exactly as I think.”

The four ultimately decided to start from the south, advancing bit by bit northward, potentially even creating a map of forces within Wei Kingdom.

Wei Kingdom’s cultivation world isn’t as large as Yan Kingdom’s, it only has one Tier Four Spirit Vein, but has more Spirit Veins than Yan Kingdom.

In theory, the number of cultivators should be higher than in Yan Kingdom, and there should be more Immortal Cities and marketplaces.

However, the four flew for more than a month, only occasionally encountering sects closing mountains, families sealing doors, yet saw no Immortal City or marketplace.

Cultivators were even scarce along the way.

Everywhere revealed anomalies.

Another half month passed,

A gathering place finally appeared on the horizon.

This finally gave the four a chance to interact with people.

Upon flying above it, however, they glanced at each other.

This gathering place turned out to be a village,

And among them were all ordinary people, devoid of any magical power aura.

“How is this possible? Even the former Qi Kingdom no longer had a place for ordinary people, how could Wei Kingdom with a Tier Four Spirit Vein still have ordinary folks?” Zhou Cang was astonished.

“This place isn’t Spirit Vein Land; its Spiritual Qi is very thin, almost nonexistent, while the places we’ve passed had Spiritual Qi several times denser! And those places remain unclaimed, why don’t they go there?” Yu Ziyu frowned slightly.

The denser the Spiritual Qi, even if ordinary humans don’t cultivate, naturally breathing Spiritual Qi over the years extends life and strengthens the body.

Li Jizhou recalled the places they passed along the way; the nearest unclaimed Tier One Spirit Vein from here was but a thousand miles, even for common people, it’s just a few days journey.

“Could it be, they deliberately choose spiritually barren places to live and multiply?”
