In the Immortal Ancient Forest, Mu Xuan was holding onto the thought of certain death as he walked. On the way, a thin and small figure kept on walking.
Encountering a few demonic beasts would be akin to killing them with one punch.
However, these were only Rank 1 Demonic Beasts equivalent to Qi Disciples. It was hard to say if they were Rank 2 Demonic Beasts. After all, Rank 2 Demonic Beasts were not only able to make use of the Spiritual Energy of the world, but their skin was even tougher as well.
If it wasn't for the help of the elder, it was possible for Mu Xuan to reach the Nascent Soul stage at his current level of cultivation.
The snow that Mu Xuan had eaten was not for nothing. It was equivalent to helping Mu Xuan clean up the poison that remained in his body. It was just that Mu Xuan couldn't find it himself.
Mu Xuan had used quite a few pills and elixirs. In addition to spiritual power, there were also toxins. If he didn't clean them up in time, they would harm his body. Therefore, the old man intentionally helped Mu Xuan cure the poison during the test.
Mu Xuan didn't know or understand this until he had cultivated to a certain level and felt this. Only then did he know how great his parents and his master were.
Mu Xuan had only heard the old man's words at that time, but Mu Xuan still didn't know the name of his master. What sect or sect did he come from?
After waking up and eliminating all the hidden dangers, Mu Xuan only stayed with his parents for three days before voluntarily coming to the Immortal Ancient Forest to train and organize his messy thoughts.
Liu Rong did not stop him, because she could sense that her son had been unconscious for two years, perhaps more than ten years. Since he had offered to clean up the area near the mountain village in the Immortal Ancient Forest, and she had not seen any Rank 3 Demonic Beasts, she agreed readily.
He had only warned Mu Xuan that he could only move about in the area she had mentioned. Otherwise, he would be in danger. He hadn't thought that Mu Xuan would come back to the path he had walked.
Not long after, he encountered a Rank 2 Demonic Beast. Since he didn't have any battle experience, he could only run for his life in a sorry state.
The last time he oppressed Gao Wan'er and Cui Ping to that extent, it was because the other party didn't want to make things difficult for him.
However, if a human or demonic beast of the same level was stronger than their physical body, it would be purely for provocation.
If it wasn't for the curse, Mu Xuan's physical body would have been toughened up by Mu Hong and Wang Lin. Furthermore, the Snow World in his consciousness had also strengthened his body, so he might have broken his body the moment he came into contact with the demon beast.
Thinking back to how he had suppressed Gao Wan'er and Cui Ping, Mu Xuan felt it was funny. However, he had asked for it all himself, so Mu Hong's lie about him telling him that he had saved him with Cui Ping hadn't been exposed.
What he didn't expect was that Liu Rong and Mu Hong didn't ask him what he had experienced during the two years he had been unconscious.
Due to her curiosity, when she had to tell Liu Rong, Liu Rong told him that everyone would have their own chance, so there was no need to explain. She didn't want to delve into her own secrets, as long as he was fine.
When he thought of Wu Ling and her group of four, a rare smile appeared on Mu Xuan's face.
After muttering to himself, he started to think carefully about what he should do in the future.
Wu Ling and the other three were Mu Xuan's saviors, so when they found out that Mu Hong and Liu Rong didn't mind seeing Mu Xuan's unconscious curse return to normal, they took out some of the resources Mu Xuan had used to suppress the curse and trained the four of them wholeheartedly.
This even allowed other little fellows to take advantage of him!
After all, it was only a small part of the curse that Mu Xuan had broken. However, the resources that Mu Xuan used to break the curse were enough for a Deity Stage expert to form.
A small portion of it was used on little fellows at the Mortal Realm, so there was no problem at all in raising their cultivation.
He just didn't know where Mu Hong and Liu Rong got so many resources from.
In the one year after Mu Xuan fainted, Liu Rong made Ding Yuan and the other three all break through to the Spiritual Movement Stage at almost the same time. After that, she taught them a set of combination attack skills and decent martial skills.
However, the four of them did not listen to Mu Hong's suggestion and went to the Immortal Ancient Town to cultivate. Instead, they chose to stay in the mountain village to help the two of them with the cultivation of the younger generation in the village.
At the same time, he used Mu Hong and Liu Rong's fame to gather the people from the surrounding villages.
This was because after Mu Xuan's incident, he had gained some insights and wanted to help even more people.
The village was now larger, the experts more powerful, and the security was also higher. The village had gathered over a thousand people from the original three hundred people. It was just like the rudimentary shape of a small village.
There was also some order, and there were also people who could teach people some common sense. This caused the villagers to grow more knowledgeable, and their vision to grow further as well.
In this way, he would be happy to let the younger generation take the time to cultivate.
However, Liu Rong warned the four of them to be a bit slower. If they gathered too many people, it would cause unnecessary trouble. The four of them also listened to her suggestion, whether or not they had the ability to gather more people.
However, they left the village and went to other places to build more of these villages so that more people could escape from their suffering.
When Mu Xuan found out about this, he had a simple thought in mind. He wanted to use Wu Ling and the other two men to build his own sect.
Although it would take up a lot of time, he wouldn't have a clean background.
Moreover, Mu Xuan could tell from Wu Ling and the other three that as long as these people had the same resources as the other juniors, they would not be much weaker than them. They might even be much stronger.
However, this was just a simple thought. The concrete implementation was not something he should consider at the moment.
What he should be thinking about now was how to raise his cultivation to the Nirvana Realm in ten years. This was an extremely high realm that he never dared to imagine.
Now, Mu Xuan didn't really know much about cultivation. He only knew that the first step was to draw the Qi into his body and absorb it from his mouth and nose to cultivate.
Once he reached a certain level, he could form a spiritual power seed in his dantian. The nine of them would form a single realm, corresponding to the ninth level of Qi Disciple.
After condensing the eighty-one spiritual power seeds, there was no longer a need to meditate and cultivate all day long. In daily life, these spiritual energy seeds would automatically take the initiative to form a miraculous combination, freely absorbing the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth.
He had reached the second realm of cultivation — Spiritual Movement Stage and Spiritual Movement Stage. In other words, he had gained some intelligence, and his seed had undergone a change.
Mu Xuan was currently in this realm, but he was in the final stages of it.
As long as one had enough luck, they might be able to break through very soon and reach the third realm, the Enlightenment Realm.
Experts at the level of the Enlightenment Realm would be able to use certain acupuncture points in their body to absorb the spirit energy of the world, which was equivalent to a cheating tool.
He no longer solely used his nose and mouth to absorb the spiritual energy for cultivation.
After that was Liu Rong's current cultivation level, which was at the Nascent Soul stage. As for what was so special about that stage, he had neither experienced nor heard of it before, so Mu Xuan didn't know.
Although he didn't know how high the Nirvana stage was, Mu Xuan had heard of it before.
However, even in the Great Song Empire, there were not many experts like this. The bottom line to breaking the curse was the Nirvana Realm.
What other realms were there between the Nirvana and the Nascent Soul stage? He hadn't had the time to ask the two of them! No one had told him.
However, it was definitely not simple. After all, in a city, one would need at least an expert at the God of Pregnancy realm to establish their foothold.
There were several prefectures above the city, and each prefecture ruled over several cities. Above the prefectures was a prefecture, and each prefecture ruled over several prefectures.
However, if he were to advance from the Spiritual Movement Stage to the Nirvana Stage within ten years, he would have to go through at least three major stages.
When he thought about how his parents had not improved at all in the past decade, he felt a sense of dread.
When he thought about the rewards his master had given him, he became excited again. According to his father, Gao Wan'er had obtained the remains of a Spirit Severing expert.
His master had said before that his passing would be perfect, and the reward would be even greater.
Soul Formation! It all sounded tempting.
No, I got it. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one should be at the Spirit Transformation realm, so I don't care. I will go back and ask my parents, what kind of places are the Hanging Sky Cliff, the Meteorite Pit, and the Skeleton Cavern. I will take some time to go to these three places to retrieve my reward.
After a moment of gratification, Mu Xuan started to worry.
"But why did Master give me the method to open the Immortal Transforming Valley and the Crosscut Mountain Range in the end? What kind of treasures were these? And there's also the Ghost Cloud Mountain. Why did the medicine warn me that I can't go without reaching the Spirit Transformation realm? "
"And what kind of place is this Mountain Cloud Faction?" If one was considered a superior sect and required half a step Nirvana stage to enter, what kind of treasure would it be? However, since I have grasped the method to enter and collect them, it should not be difficult for me to obtain the treasures. "
Thinking about the four places he had obtained, as well as the method he had used to collect the treasures inside, Mu Xuan became excited.
Liu Rong's feeling was right. The moment Mu Xuan appeared, the old man, who was Mu Xuan's master, left him with the four names Mu Xuan, Immortal Valley, Hengduan Mountain, Ghost Cloud Mountain, and Mountain Descending Clouds, as well as a method to collect the treasures within.
This sequence also told Mu Xuan the sequence he wanted to enter.
However, the lowest requirement was to be in the Deity Stage, so he was still far from Mu Xuan. Therefore, he put it aside calmly and prepared to go back to check out these places first before making his move.
But before that, he had to stabilize his cultivation and cultivate some martial skills to get the rewards from the three previous craters.
Everything had to be done step by step!
Mu Xuan did have this mindset, which was why he offered to train in the Immortal Ancient Forest.
Now that he thought about it, however, Mu Xuan thought about the news he had received about the Immortal Ancient Forest.
It was said that the Immortal Ancient Forest was only the edge of the Immortal Ancient Mountain. In the central region of the Immortal Ancient Mountain, there were at least no powers from the Great Song Empire.
In fact, even further down, they were demon beasts of a higher level. They were even having normal interactions with humans.
The hierarchy between demon beasts was particularly strict. Therefore, these demon beasts at the very edge were only instinctive beasts. They didn't have intelligence, but like the rest of them, they were just from the lowest level.
What Mu Xuan knew was that his territory belonged to the Great Song Empire, a country with a population of hundreds of millions of people and tens of thousands of miles.
There were many counties below, and many provinces below.
There was a city below the state and a town below the city. There were countless villages like the one they were in that didn't even have a name, so even the Great Song didn't have much energy to pay attention to them.
Thus, in the Immortal Ancient Forest, the demonic beasts that he could come into contact with were the same as them, the lowest level that no one was paying attention to.
That was exactly how he, Mu Xuan, could deal with it.
Otherwise, if he met someone of a higher level, there would definitely not be even bones left.
He went through all of these in his mind. If there were anything he didn't know, he would ask his parents. As for his future path, his only goal was to quickly raise his cultivation.
Shaking his head and letting go of these useless thoughts, Mu Xuan jumped down from the tree where he was resting and continued his search for his next target.
