Where is Eldest Senior Brother?

Seeing Liang Sheng looking around, Shen Wuque guessed what he was thinking and chuckled softly, “No need to look, Eldest Senior Brother has already started closed-door cultivation.

Just a few months ago, he said he had sensed that his own perfection was imminent, so Master let him enter closed-door cultivation to properly adjust his condition.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng’s heart couldn’t help but stir; with Xiang Chen’s status at Green Cloud Peak, if he reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he would surely receive a Golden Yuan Pill.

For Xiang Chen, Jin Quanxiu allowing him to enter closed-door cultivation now is a good thing.

“I see, Second Senior Brother, this is the share of elixirs 1 have to hand in this year. Since you are now in charge of Green Cloud Peak in place of Eldest Senior Brother, could you help me register them?”

In fact, not only this year, but even in the previous two years at Welcoming Guest Peak, Liang Sheng had never missed his task share.

Seeing this, Shen Wuque simply nodded, helped Liang Sheng put away the elixirs, and whispered a sentence, “Ah, Master has been in closed-door cultivation these days, what a pity.”

Liang Sheng couldn’t help but comfort him, “Senior Brother, don’t worry. 1 think Master will come out soon, but 1 don’t know when Eldest Senior Brother will come out.”

Shen Wuque, upon hearing this, was taken aback and looked Liang Sheng up and down with a hint of disdain in his tone, “Junior Brother, what are you talking about?

1 was just lamenting that finally Master and Eldest Senior Brother are both in closed-door cultivation, but the Back Mountain Hunting Ground still hasn’t been opened yet, otherwise, 1 would have gone to the hunting grounds by now.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but feel baffled, “Senior Brother, if you go, what will happen to Green Cloud Peak?”

“Don’t you still have yourself?”

Hearing Shen Wuque’s indifferent words, Liang Sheng inadvertently rolled his eyes and cursed himself for interfering.

Alright, with Shen Wuque’s personality, I actually didn’t think about the situation clearly, 1 shouldn’t have asked this question.

But just then, the Identity Jade Slip in Liang Sheng’s storage bag vibrated. He took a look and couldn’t help but be taken aback, looking at Shen Wuque with a strange expression.

At this point, Shen Wuque still didn’t know what was going on, and Liang Sheng couldn’t help but remind him, “Senior Brother, why don’t you take a look at the message the sect sent us?”

“Sect message?”

Shen Wuque was stunned and then muttered, “What happened, just tell me directly. 1 was in such a hurry to come out that 1 didn’t bring it with me.”

Liang Sheng suddenly realized, no wonder Shen Wuque was so calm, it turned out to be because he didn’t bring his Identity Jade Slip with him when he left his Cave Mansion in a hurry.

Liang Sheng’s eyes shifted, “Senior Brother, you better go and confirm this in person, 1 don’t think 1 should tell you.”

Shen Wuque was helpless, why make such a fuss about it, and the junior brother wouldn’t even tell him. With no other choice, he could only return to his Cave Mansion.

When he got back to his Cave Mansion and picked up his Identity Jade Slip, he was overjoyed upon learning what had happened and hurriedly left his Cave Mansion, but where was Liang Sheng’s figure outside?

When Shen Wuque arrived outside Liang Sheng’s Cave Mansion, he found that he was not in the Mansion and that there was a Message Jade Slip at the entrance. After reading it, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

“Well played, Junior Brother, you left me behind so quickly and went to have fun by yourself. I will definitely not bring you along next time.”

As it turned out, the sect had just notified all Inner Sect Disciples that the Back Mountain Hunting Ground had gradually opened, and once everything was fine, the hunting ground would be fully opened.

Liang Sheng, thinking of Shen Wuque’s words about leaving Green Cloud Peak to him to manage, how could he still stay at the Green Cloud Peak?

So, he immediately tricked Shen Wuque, returned to his Cave Mansion, hurriedly repaired the Spiritual Field Gathering Spirit Array and Concealment Array, and then directly left Green Cloud Peak for the Back Mountain Hunting Ground.

Liang Sheng’s actions were also calculated; the vast Back Mountain Hunting Ground was more suited to his cultivation of the Primordial Mysterious Technique, since the complex terrain within the mountains and forests made it impossible for anyone to find him with his Attribute Panel Concealment.

This time, Liang Sheng quickly went through the registration and entered the Back Mountain Hunting Ground directly, but instead of going deeper, he moved horizontally, getting farther from the crowd.

Of course, since the Back Mountain Hunting Ground had just opened at this moment, there were not many disciples who had entered, and Liang Sheng carefully examined his surroundings—finding that there were no people within ten miles, he was very satisfied.

Not bad.

This place was indeed suitable for his secret cultivation, and his luck had finally improved, as if someone was delivering a pillow when he was sleepy.

As for Shen Wuque, Liang Sheng could only apologize silently in his heart when he thought of him possibly cursing at Green Cloud Peak for his lack of loyalty.After all, cultivation is the top priority, and 1 can always do this again later!

Since then, Liang Sheng has been staying peacefully in the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, not hunting demonic beasts, but practicing the Primordial Mysterious Technique at dawn while hiding in the dark at night.

Unknowingly, one year passed.

At this moment, Liang Sheng’s heart was pounding rapidly. Four years had passed since he started cultivating the Primordial Mysterious Technique.

Now he finally felt a change in his body, and perhaps today was the moment when he broke through the ancient technique.

Liang Sheng tried hard to calm his emotions. He felt that there might be some movements during this cultivation, so he stacked numerous Concealment Formations.

As the night passed and the sky turned gray, Liang Sheng sat down on the ground, and the moment the sun appeared, he immediately started practicing the Primordial Mysterious Technique.

This time, instead of having a small trace of purple aura entering his body at the last second, a blazing sun ignited his entire body like a spark prairie fire.

In an instant, with Liang Sheng at the center, he crazily devoured the surrounding spiritual energy. His internal Primordial Mysterious Technique automatically operated, and after that, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered together and formed a spiritual energy vortex, directly rushing into Liang Sheng’s body.

His body was like a black hole, and the surrounding spiritual energy swarmed into him as if he could never be saturated. Liang Sheng still had a trace of sanity, knowing that he couldn’t make a big fuss.

With his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, it was utterly impossible to devour spiritual energy to such an extent, so the only explanation was the Primordial Mysterious Technique.

If he continued to devour spiritual energy so crazily, he might immediately attract the attention of others. The Attribute Panel could hide himself, but not such a significant movement.

Just when Liang Sheng was at a loss, he suddenly had an idea. Wasn’t it just devouring spiritual energy?

He had stored a few hundred years’ worth of spirit stones, and they were much more potent than spiritual energy. Thinking of this, Liang Sheng did not hesitate and directly took out the spirit stones from his storage ring.

Immediately, the surrounding vortex of spiritual energy stopped abruptly, and the spirit stones in his hand were rapidly consumed, turning into ashes in just a few breaths.

At this moment, he couldn’t care less about the heartache of consuming spirit stones. He directly took out all the spirit stones. In a short time, he almost used up the spirit stones he had saved for hundreds of years.

But the good news was that there was no spiritual energy vortex around him anymore. The devouring of spiritual energy now only occurred within a three-meter radius around him, and Liang Sheng finally exhaled a long breath of relief.

Daoist Dan Teng misled me; how could the beginner stage of Primordial Mysterious Technique cause such a huge commotion?

And then…

Boom!

At this moment, a thunderous roar erupted inside Liang Sheng’s body, and his blood surged like mercury. This situation was beyond Liang Sheng’s expectation. However, he finally regained control of his body.

But before he could examine his body condition, the entire Back Mountain Hunting Grounds roiled with agitated Qi, and the growls of demonic beasts echoed in all directions, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Liang Sheng’s complexion changed instantly. The current chaotic spiritual energy in the hunting grounds was even more turbulent and restless than when he and Shen Wuque entered it five years ago.

Spiritual Tidal!

An even more violent Spiritual Tidal!

At this moment, a majestic voice resounded throughout the entire Back Mountain Hunting Grounds.

“All disciples, leave the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds immediately. The protective array will be activated in half an hour.”

At the next moment, an incredibly violent force descended from the sky, stopping the rampaging Spiritual Tidal. The roars of beasts covering the entire mountain range suddenly went silent.

Without any hesitation, Liang Sheng rushed towards the entrance of the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds. Along the way, many Foundation Establishment Disciples were also anxiously heading to the entrance just like him.

Fortunately, he safely reached the entrance and left the Hunting Grounds. He couldn’t help but sit down on the ground, panting heavily and feeling relieved.

He made it out!

At this time, laughter came from around. Liang Sheng looked up and saw the other surviving Foundation Establishment Disciples who also had narrow escapes. He couldn’t help but be infected by their emotions and laughed out loud.

Not only did he escape death, but he also gained a new life. At this moment, he had already seen his cultivation realm displayed on the Attribute Panel, which had indeed changed.

Refining Qi!
