190: Séance

Xuanqing Sect.

Inside Suqing Peak.

"Fellow Daoist He, the Jiang Family just sent someone to see me."

In a pavilion by a cliff, carved with exotic flowers and plants.

Mo Xuan and True Lord Herun sat opposite each other.

By the cliff, water gurgled, flowers, birds, grass, and trees were lush. Spirit butterflies danced, water vapor steamed, and the glow of the setting sun shone, emitting a faint light, creating an extraordinary Concept.

This was where True Lord Herun usually cultivated his mind.

Today, Mo Xuan came to visit.

True Lord Herun personally came out to greet him.

After the man and the snake entered Suqing Peak, they came to this Linya Pavilion.

Mo Xuan drank the hot tea floating in the air, put down the teacup, and briefly mentioned what had happened to True Lord Herun.

"Haha~"

True Lord Herun chuckled.

"Now, the relationship between our two families is known to the outside world."

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you have entered the Nascent Soul Stage. If our two families combine forces, Old Man Jiang will naturally be worried."

"After all, Spirit Void Sect has its main sect backing it."

"Now that the situation has suddenly reversed, Old Man Jiang naturally has to do something."

The Xuanqing Sect had naturally already found out about the Jiang Family sending people to the Zhou Family.

Moreover, the Jiang Family had no intention of hiding anything.

"Our two families combining forces may seem strong, but in terms of core strength, we cannot compare to either Spirit Void Sect or the Jiang Family alone."

"To catch up with the power of the two families, we need time and a stable environment."

"Therefore, maintaining a stable situation is most beneficial to us."

True Lord Herun continued.

Mo Xuan nodded. Whether it was the Jiang Family or the Spirit Void Sect, if he and True Lord He were excluded, any one of them could destroy their two families.

"Old Man Jiang saw this point, which is why he gave up this prefecture."

"The undercurrents within the domain are turbulent, and with a powerful outsider like Spirit Void Sect nearby, the Jiang Family cannot afford to be careless, so they decisively retreated a step."

True Lord Herun let out a soft sigh.

Now that Mo Xuan had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

He could also relax a little.

"Then I will gladly accept it."

Mo Xuan replied softly. It just so happened that Yingyang was adjacent to Huichuan, and the two families could also maintain contact and help each other.

True Lord Herun nodded.

He had originally intended to give up a few more towns, but within Huichuan Prefecture, apart from Xuanqing Mountain, there really wasn't any Spirit Land that could barely satisfy the Spiritual Qi needs of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator for breathing and cultivation.

If the Jiang Family had not made this move, a conflict might have really occurred.

If it was not controlled well, the situation would escalate, and what would happen then was truly unpredictable.

The man and the snake conversed for a long time.

Through True Lord Herun, Mo Xuan gained a detailed understanding of the current situation.

Mo Xuan stood up to bid farewell, left the Xuanqing Sect, and returned to Jade Moon Peak.

Feiyue Peak Summit.

Mo Xuan temporarily did not want to return to Qingyuan Lake.

At this time, Qingyuan Lake was already somewhat insufficient for Mo Xuan's true body.

He opened his panel.

Mo Xuan carefully examined the changes brought about by this Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Cloud Gathering..."

He had awakened another talent.

"It should be related to the Riding Clouds and Driving Mist Divine Ability obtained from the Cloud Jiao."

The Cloud Jiao Bloodline was extraordinary.

Mo Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

"Realm of Clouds and Mist."

Vast clouds and mist suddenly materialized, enveloping the entire Jade Moon Peak.

Mo Xuan's body merged into the clouds and mist, disappearing from the five senses.

"Mist Concealment..."

A moment later, the clouds and mist dispersed.

Mo Xuan's figure reappeared, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

He had just been testing the waters.

Within this Realm of Clouds and Mist, using the Mist Concealment Divine Ability, Mo Xuan could merge into the clouds and mist, which would confuse the five senses and block Divine Sense.

If an enemy was trapped within, not only would their movements be restricted by the clouds and mist.

Without special abilities, they would be unable to see through the clouds and mist, unable to perceive Mo Xuan's movements, and would fall completely into a passive state.

Unless they escaped this Realm of Clouds and Mist.

"I just don't know how much impact it can have on Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators."

Mo Xuan pondered.

However, Nascent Soul Cultivators were not so easy to deal with.

Moreover, having never fought a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Mo Xuan could not make a good judgment.

"Size As Desired Transformation Divine Ability, Breath Concealment Divine Ability..."

These two Divine Abilities had also been strengthened considerably.

Otherwise, how could Mo Xuan's thousand-zhang-long body be supported by Jade Moon Peak.

"Divine Ability: Demonic Body Four Transformations (Activates the beastly Concept deep within the Bloodline, temporarily increasing Physical Body, speed, and magic power by two times. Note: The stronger the beastly Concept, the lower the rationality, and the greater the boost.)"

"In a normal state, it can increase strength by two times."

"Not bad, not bad."

"The advantage is with me."

Mo Xuan muttered to himself, quite satisfied.

Riding Clouds and Driving Mist and Dividing Spirit and Transforming Thought were still the same.

However, the Incarnation condensed by Dividing Spirit and Transforming Thought had increased in strength by ten percent.

It could reach about thirty percent of the main body's cultivation.

"Summoning: Descent of Spirit..."

Mo Xuan looked at the last one.

This newly added Divine Ability made him quite curious.

He hadn't had time to check it before, but today he planned to figure out this Divine Ability.

Mo Xuan's mind sank into it.

"Buzz~"

In the ethereal realm.

Two connections appeared in Mo Xuan's perception.

One was clear, the other distant and blurry, appearing and disappearing.

"This is..."

Mo Xuan's heart stirred.

His mind moved towards that clear perception.

As for the other distant and flickering sensation, he could not send his mind to it, only barely having a subtle awareness.

Following Mo Xuan's actions.

In the Xuanming Realm, within the desolate continent, in a valley where Spiritual Qi was slightly concentrated.

The originally uninhabited valley had been greatly transformed.

The valley was covered with various exotic flowers, which were Spirit Medicine transplanted and cultivated here by Zhou Xiuyuan and the other two.

There was a pool in the valley, surrounded by blooming peach blossoms.

Pink petals drifted into the pool, dyeing it pink.

In the pool, there was a small island.

Upon it were three wooden pavilions, elegant and secluded.

At this moment, in a waterside pavilion in front of the pavilions.

A man and a woman were brewing tea and playing chess.

Another person sat cross-legged.

On his knees were two long swords.

One was extremely tattered, the other had a restrained cold gleam, quite peculiar.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness of the person sitting cross-legged.

A majestic snow mountain stood tall.

A humanoid phantom held a phantom long sword, sharpening it within the majestic snow mountain.

"Senior Brother, the Qingyang Li Clan still hasn't withdrawn their pursuit of us, they're too persistent, aren't they?"

The female Cultivator brewing tea and playing chess complained.

These three were precisely Zhou Xiuyuan and his two companions who had fled into the desolate continent to avoid the Qingyang Li Clan.

After hiding for a period of time.

They originally thought the Qingyang Li Clan had given up, but unexpectedly, as soon as they left the desolate continent's border, they were pursued again by people from the Li Family.

The Qingyang Li Clan even invited several other Foundation Establishment Cultivators to join them.

And issued a bounty.

Claiming that the three had stolen the Qingyang Li Clan's Legacy method.

The Qingyang Li Clan's strength was quite formidable.

There were indeed forces and Cultivators who were on good terms with the Qingyang Li Clan who responded.

So the three simply found an uninhabited place in the desolate continent and temporarily settled down.

This settlement lasted for several years.

A few days ago, Shen Xuanzhao went out again to gather information, but unexpectedly, the Qingyang Li Clan had not yet given up.

This was what caused Yun Qingsi to complain.

Yun Qingsi had also advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And Shen Xuanzhao and Zhou Xiuyuan were both not far from the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

"Buzz~"

Just as Shen Xuanzhao was about to reply.

The one heart sword on Zhou Xiuyuan's knees, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly vibrated violently.

Zhou Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

His expression changed slightly, and he opened the Storage Pouch at his waist.

A scale, filled with countless marks and showing no external power, suddenly flew out on its own, floating leisurely in the air.

A moment later.

A serpentine phantom, seemingly illusory and indistinct, flickered, appearing to have no power.

"Divine Descent..."

The unstable phantom spoke softly.

"Old Ancestor?"

Zhou Xiuyuan stood up, exclaiming in surprise.

Shen Xuanzhao and Yun Qingsi's mouths were slightly agape, their eyes blank.
