Chapter 438 - 215: The Hunt Begins! (2)
A moment—
Shen Wen’an opened his eyes in surprise, looking around in disbelief.
Under the perception of the Vein-Seeking Skill, beneath this land, several terrifying earth veins converged from all directions!
The terror of these earth veins wasn’t like ordinary branches at all, but more like the main veins running through the entire Yangnao Land!
To put it simply, according to the direction of the earth veins, this place should be the most spiritually rich, core area of the entire Yangnao Land and even the Southern Border!
After all, if one considered the entire Yangnao Land and Southern Border as a human, this place would be the heart, where all the heaven and earth’s main veins flowed into and out of, forming a cycle.
This bizarre situation made Shen Wen’an even more puzzled.
He vaguely felt that, given the complexity of this place, even great figures in Array Dao like Master Pei Zhao or Uncle Fu Yang would find it difficult to figure out the details.
Turning to look at Frost Moon Mountain behind him, and then in the direction of Flame Lake Ridge in the distance, after a brief contemplation, Shen Wen’an transformed into sword aura and left this place.
This place harbored a great secret, but he was just a Sword Cultivator and couldn’t unravel its mysteries. Staying longer would be a waste of time.
Now that the Sword Bone Magic Sword was complete, it was better to head back to Yunshui City directly.
The sword aura he transformed into skimmed across the vast sky of the Western Wilderness. While on his way, Shen Wen’an noticed a dozen or so Demon Cultivators from Great Witch Mountain chasing a group of Western Wilderness herdsmen below.
As his mind stirred slightly, he developed the idea of testing out the Sword Bone Magic Sword.
Standing above the void, a milky white light slowly blossomed from his forehead.
The next moment, this milky white light gradually gathered into a three-inch White Jade Sword!
The little sword didn’t have the intense killing aura typical of a Sword Cultivator’s magic sword but instead gave off a warm and refined feeling.
Shen Wen’an used his sword point to touch the White Jade Sword, instantly activating the Sword Control Skill from the Supreme Mysterious Sword Scripture, [Supreme Profound Light-Splitting Sword]!
The three-inch White Jade Sword split into sixteen, shooting towards the Great Witch Mountain demon cultivators below!
Among the dozen or so demon cultivators below, only two had reached the Early Stage of Fetal Breathing, while the rest were half-transformed little demons at the Qi Cultivation Realm.
The Sword Bone Magic Sword flew silently, piercing through the heads of those demon cultivators with precision.
In an instant, the demon cultivators who had been mocking and chasing several hundred Western Wilderness herdsmen suddenly froze, their vitality rapidly dissipating!
Thud!
Thud!
One by one, the bodies of demon cultivators fell to the ground, without any wounds on them.
The herdsmen at the front, who were being chased into a panic, noticed the fierce demon cultivators falling to the ground in a strange way and slowly transformed back into their original forms.
A few bold youths carefully approached with their spears, lightly prodding the bodies of the demon beasts.
"Dead... they’re dead!"
"They’re all dead!"
The fierce creatures that were devouring and capturing their kin moments ago had inexplicably perished suddenly.
All the Western Wilderness herdsmen were stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing.
In the void, the sixteen White Jade Swords merged into one as they returned, re-entering Shen Wen’an’s forehead once more.
Looking at the demon cultivators who had died silently below, Shen Wen’an showed a hint of satisfaction on his face and did not linger, taking off into the distance in a stream of light.
"Ah Die, there’s an Immortal!"
Among the Western Wilderness herdsmen below, a child suddenly pointed at the stream of light in the sky and shouted.
The surrounding herdsmen hurriedly looked up, seeing a streak of azure light heading to the east of the grassland.
"It really is an Immortal..."
"Children, quickly kneel and thank the Immortal for saving our lives!"
An elderly man with graying hair respectfully knelt toward the direction where Shen Wen’an disappeared, and the herdsmen behind him followed suit, kneeling down.
...
Shen Family, Black Water Pavilion.
Shen Chongming had already returned from the Zhili Imperial City.
The grandfather and grandson were discussing harvest plans on the second floor of the pavilion when suddenly, a stream of light pierced through the grand array of Yunshui City heading toward the Black Water Pavilion.
The stream of light reached the second floor, transforming into the figure of Shen Wen’an.
"Third Uncle?"
Seeing Shen Wen’an, a hint of joy appeared on Shen Chongming’s face as he stood up and cupped his hands in salute.
After nodding, Shen Wen’an came before Shen Yuan and saluted, "Father."
"Sit down."
The uncle and nephew sat down, and Shen Yuan looked at him as he spoke, "How did it go?"
"The harvest was substantial," Shen Wen’an said, taking out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Bag.
"This time, not only did I successfully refine the Sword Bone Magic Sword, but I also acquired a wisp of middle-grade Innate Ugly Spirit Essence Qi."
"The other two items are too large to take out conveniently."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Shen Yuan’s face. He reached out to take the Jade Bottle, glanced at it, and then handed it to Shen Chongming.
"The Innate Ugly Spirit Essence Qi is an Earth Attribute Innate Essence Qi. Mu Chang and Mu Yan have been stuck at the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm for several years now. Give this wisp of Ugly Spirit Essence Qi to them later and let one of them break through first."
Shen Chongming nodded.
Over the years, many cultivators in Yunshui City had gradually reached the Peak of Qi Cultivation or Perfection Realm.
The demand for Innate Spiritual Qi has been increasing.
Now, every wisp of Innate Essence Qi signifies a Fetal Breathing Realm combat power.
"Now that your Third Uncle has returned, the so-called harvest plan should not pose much risk with him around."
"The rest of the tasks are left to you two uncles and nephews to handle."
After responding, Shen Chongming suddenly turned with curiosity to Shen Wen’an, cupping his hands, "Third Uncle, what level of strength have you achieved now?"
