140: Chapter 140 Mohe

Guided by the map, Chen Changqing and the other two spent two days arriving at Mo River.

The Mo River surged forth from Youhan Mountain, encircling more than half of the entire Secret Realm, with a total length of nearly several thousand miles and a width of over a dozen miles.

Looking over, Chen Changqing and the other two saw that the entire Mo River was extremely turbid and bottomless. Although low-tier fish Yao Beasts surfaced from time to time and it looked calm, undercurrents were actually surging below.

"This Mo River can be said to be one of the most dangerous areas in the entire core zone, and it is also the place where we are most likely to leave the core zone and head to the entrance of the Secret Realm." Shen Bei explained to the two of them.

"Then we'll just proceed downstream like this?" Chen Changqing inquired.

"Mn." Shen Bei nodded.

"Our most important task right now is to evade the Yao Beasts under the Mo River. This Mo River is bottomless, and we don't know what actually exists below. Furthermore, the Mo River contains an Ore called meta-magnetic ore, which suppresses a Cultivator's magical power and Divine Soul."

"meta-magnetic ore?!" Chen Changqing and Li Taixuan exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and desire in each other's eyes.

"You heard me right, it is indeed meta-magnetic ore. Presumably, you both know that if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can obtain a piece of meta-magnetic ore to refine into a Magical Artifact, not only can they naturally suppress opponents with this Magical Artifact, but its toughness also ranks at the top among many tier-two Ores."

"Most importantly, Magical Artifacts refined with meta-magnetic ore will almost never be destroyed, because they possess extreme magnetism themselves. Even if they are slashed into two halves, they will restore to their original state due to the magnetism."

It's just that meta-magnetic ore is extremely rare. Only this place in the entire Yan Country cultivation world possesses meta-magnetic ore, and this meta-magnetic ore is even under the Mo River. In the past, Foundation Establishment Cultivators also came to search for treasures, but most returned empty-handed, and even worse, died within the Mo River.

Shen Bei spoke in one breath for a quarter of an hour, informing them of the entire situation of the Mo River.

Chen Changqing and the other nodded. Although their hearts were moved, they ultimately suppressed the greed in their hearts.

Their current situation was not very good, and risking their lives to seize these meta-magnetic ores meant they would still have to turn them in after leaving the Secret Realm.

Coupled with the fact that they heard meta-magnetic ore could also be exchanged from the Yuxu Sect through contributions, there was even less need to risk their lives.

The three of them left along the downstream direction of the Mo River.

...

"Senior Chisongzi, the teleportation array has been set up." Outside the valley, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator came before Chisongzi and bowed respectfully.

"Understood." Chisongzi said in a nonchalant tone.

"Then Senior, what should we do next?"

"Wait, until the Secret Realm is about to close." Chisongzi said no more, instead closing his eyes to continue meditating quietly in mid-air.

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator naturally dared not disturb him further and retreated.

"Mn?"

After a while, Chisongzi felt an abnormality coming from his Storage Pouch. He hurriedly took out the transmission talisman inside to see what was going on.

"Chisong, how is the task on your end going?" An aged voice came out.

"Reporting to Senior, most of the task has been completed. It's just that the remaining rats are hiding and it will take some time to find them out one by one." Unlike his previous nonchalant appearance, Chisongzi's expression carried respect at this moment.

"Only mostly completed?" The other party's voice was somewhat hesitant.

"Since that's the case, let's leave it at that for now! Our main objective is to weaken the strength of various Golden Core factions. After your task ends, leave immediately and head to the Taisu Mountain Zhao Family."

Taisu Mountain Zhao Family?!

"Senior, are we going to deal with the Taisu Mountain Zhao Family?"

"You don't need to know about this. You just need to head to the Taisu Mountain Zhao Family a month later. Over there, there are Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Lv. At that time, you will cooperate with them to wipe out the Taisu Mountain Zhao Family."

Hearing this, Chisongzi was somewhat shocked in his heart. He did not expect that the Seniors within the Anti-Immortal Alliance had already decided to make a move against Golden Core factions, even though the Golden Core Old Ancestor of the Taisu Mountain Zhao Family had died ten years ago.

However, as a Golden Core Family that had stood firm in Yan Country for over a thousand years, their foundation was extraordinary.

It was said that just among the currently living Purple Mansion Cultivators within the clan, there were still four.

Furthermore, they also had a Tier-4 clan-protecting grand array. Even with the cultivation of Senior Wei and Senior Lv, would they necessarily be able to take down the entire Zhao Family?

However, this was not something for him to consider. None of these five Pseudo-Core Realm Experts from the Anti-Immortal Alliance were easy to mess with. Since they had decided to wipe out the Zhao Family, they must have made preparations.

...

"Run quickly," Shen Bei said hurriedly.

"Brother Shen, this is...?" Chen Changqing inquired.

Behind the three of them were fish Yao Beasts like a surging tide.

Originally, they had been going quite smoothly, but passing through the territory of these Sword-howling Fish, these Sword-howling Fish pursued them as if they had gone mad.

"Brother Chen and Brother Li might not know, but the temperament of this Sword-howling Fish is extremely violent. As long as any creature passes through their territory, they will be relentlessly hunted down."

"Moreover, these Sword-howling Fish themselves are not weak, and their attacks are also very bizarre. When they approach, they will emit a sound similar to sword humming. This sound can affect a Cultivator's Divine Soul, thereby causing the Cultivator to lose most of their strength."

"Although a single Sword-howling Fish cannot achieve this level, as long as the number reaches hundreds or thousands, even a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator will be instantly affected. If it reaches tens of thousands, it can directly destroy a Divine Soul equivalent to the Foundation Establishment 9th Layer Perfection," Shen Bei explained to the two of them.

"I see." Hearing this, Chen Changqing and the other could not help but be startled inwardly.

Just now they didn't know why Shen Bei was suddenly frightened like that; it turned out to be for this reason.

However, it had to be said that a few points regular Cultivators feared most were Divine Soul attacks and being approached by Body Refining Cultivators, etc.

Divine Soul Cultivation Techniques had always been rare, so many Cultivators' Divine Souls passively followed their Realm. The higher the Realm, the stronger the Divine Soul, and it couldn't be enhanced through self-improvement.

Furthermore, the Divine Soul was different from magical power. To give an example, even if your magical power is one minor level higher than the opponent's, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you can defeat them. However, as long as the intensity of your Divine Soul is higher than the opponent's, you can inflict unimaginable attacks on them.

Just like Chen Changqing, his Divine Soul was far more powerful than many Cultivators. Therefore, as long as he executed a Divine Soul attack, few Cultivators could defend against it, and even worse, they might have their Divine Souls shattered by him, reducing them to living corpses from then on.

The Sword-howling Fish behind were getting closer and closer, and the situation of the few people was becoming increasingly dangerous. As long as they entered the attack range of these Sword-howling Fish, even Chen Changqing would be affected, let alone the other two.

Therefore, knowing that the three of them could not shake them off, they began to strike, delaying the time it took for these Sword-howling Fish to catch up to them.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Every attack from the few of them stirred up a large amount of splashes.

Countless Sword-howling Fish were also killed, and the previously somewhat turbid Mo River now gained a shade of blood-red.
