Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Chapter 185 Annihilating the Nascent Soul Remnant Spirit

when the elder's colossal axe struck the black hole, a terrifying devouring force emerged, sucking in both the axe and the elder.

zhao yu's lips slightly curled up into a smirk, "so, you want to try body snatching? what an idiot!"

zhao yu possessed the dao fruit of devouring, which made him least afraid of body snatching. even if it were an immortal's remnant spirit trying to possess him, it would probably be a suicidal move.

"this guy was ning haozi, a supreme elder from the great sect of mountaineer, a late-stage nascent soul cultivator. he was, however, the weakest among the supreme elders of the mountaineer sect. they even had divinity transformation cultivators back then."

"the mountaineer sect originated from the immortal-inherited huangdi sect. after the huangdi sect was attacked and fell apart due to the assault of many sects, it branched out into various lineages, with the mountaineer sect being one of them."

"when the mountaineer sect was attacked, they activated the sect-protecting array for ground vein shifting and spatial transference, relocating their entire sect and spirit vein to a remote location. unfortunately, the array was a bit slow to activate, and all the top experts within the sect had been killed, with the other cultivators also perishing."

"ning haozi also perished on the battlefield, leaving behind only a fragment of his spirit, which fortuitously hid in a piece of soul-nurturing wood and was later bought by this young man from the primordial sect. under ning haozi's guidance, he eventually advanced to become a golden core cultivator."

"ning haozi's memories contained a complete set of fourth-order superior alchemy, including nine formulas that enhance a nascent soul cultivator's mana. indeed, worthy of being a supreme elder from the mountaineer sect, truly a treasure trove."

"however, the main ingredients in those nine pill formulas all require ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine! this is a bit tricky!"

"but if one could cultivate the mountain treasured body, it would give rise to a divine skill, the mountain gathering spirit technique. this divine skill is much stronger than the earth vein gathering spirit technique, allowing for the accelerated growth of spiritual medicine."

"inside the mountaineer sect, there must be ten-thousand-year-old nine mystical true flowers and ten-thousand-year-old true cloud grass of creation and destruction."

"a complete divinity transformation chapter of the mountain sutra is also available!"

a glint of burning desire flashed through zhao yu's eyes; since the heavenly tower, this was the first time he had stumbled upon valuable ancient ruins clues.

beihan was extremely barren; zhao yu dared not venture too deep into the canglong mountain range for fear of encountering the fourth-order great demon of transformation from its depths. the outskirts of the canglong mountains also had very few ruins from foundation establishment and golden core cultivators. over a hundred years in beihan, zhao yu had not come across any valuable ancient sites.

even in a cultivation holy land like the great qian empire, ancient sites were exceedingly rare. whenever an ancient site appeared, it would provoke a fierce scramble among countless people.

"it's time to head back now!"

"this is the body of that man!"

with a wave of his hand, zhao yu made the body of the golden core cultivator, possessed by ning haozi, appear in front of gongyang feng.

gongyang feng glanced at the body of the golden core cultivator and coldly left a remark as he turned away with his men, "be more careful next time!"

yan wuheng approached from the side and said, "old zhao, we just lost several golden core cultivators in yunluo immortal city. elder gongyang is not in good spirits; please be more understanding and let it pass!"

yan wuheng is also a native faction golden core cultivator nurtured by yunluo immortal city, but as the store manager of the yunluo commerce guild, he is well-connected, smooth in handling matters, and has friends all over, many outsider faction golden core cultivators were brought into yunluo immortal city by him.

zhao yu looked deeply at the retreating figure of gongyang feng and nodded slightly.

the headquarters battle of the primordial sect quickly ended, and the cultivators of the five great sects launched attacks on the cave mansions of other primordial sect cultivators, conquering them one by one.

the five great sects also joined forces to exterminate the rebellious elements of the primordial sect throughout the great qian empire, and the forces once dependent on the primordial sect either betrayed them or were wiped out in joint operations by the great sects.

several golden core houses supported by primordial sect were also annihilated swiftly and forcefully by the five great sects.

eventually, the five great sects evenly divided all the inheritance of the primordial sect, and each of them took control of a part of the primordial sect's territories.

within the great qian empire, there are a total of fourteen fifth-order spiritual lands, and the five great sects occupy all fourteen of these lands, with most of the nine lands outside their own territories jointly managed.

half a year later, zhao yu finally returned to yunluo immortal city to recover and recuperate.

"it's time to evolve the white ghost emperor into a fourth-order spirit ghost!"

zhao yu went straight to the place in yunluo immortal city responsible for leasing cave mansions.

"greetings, elder zhao!"

upon seeing zhao yu, the official responsible for the cave mansion leasing affairs immediately stood up and greeted him courteously.
