Dayuanzhou, Julu Mountains.
This mountain range is one of the resource points of Taixuan Sect. In addition to having a giant spirit stone vein, its unique soil environment is suitable for the cultivation of asparagus grass.
Astragalus has reached a thousand-year-old medicinal age and is one of the main materials used to assist in elixir-forming elixirs. It is very precious.
Such an important resource point naturally has many Taixuan Sect disciples stationed there. In addition to the Forbidden Formation-level formations, there are also Nascent Soul Stage monks stationed there. In addition, no one in Taixuan Sect dares to make any decisions.
But now, the Julu Mountain Range has become silent, and the forbidden light all over the mountain is extremely dim. In the central core, a forbidden hole of dozens of feet has appeared.
A trace of cracks spread in all directions along the holes, but the formation nodes in various parts of the mountain range were intact, barely maintaining the operation of the ban.
And below the cave is the mountain peak where the core of the formation is located.
But now, not to mention the center of the formation, even this mountain peak of several hundred feet has collapsed, leaving only the broken and broken mountain body. The rocks and soil on it are extremely charred, as if they have been burned by some kind of hot object.
Under this half-collapsed mountain peak, there is an arc-shaped pit over a hundred feet tall.
The original Dragon Beard Herb Garden here has lost its appearance. There are gray rock dust everywhere, and there are occasionally a few broken blue rhizomes among the crumbling soil.
There are dilapidated medicinal fields all around the pothole, and only those three to four hundred feet away are still intact.
The five deep-breathing elders of the Yuanying Stage of Taixuan Sect were flying around with solemn expressions, using various secret techniques to explore the remaining traces around them.
In the hundred-foot-long pit, stood a white-haired middle-aged man. His magic power was extremely strong and exuded the fluctuations of the late Nascent Soul. He was none other than the great elder of Taixuan Sect, Mo Hongcai.
There was a green gourd suspended in front of him, walking around the pothole. Wisps of white light kept pouring out of the gravel soil on the ground and submerged into the gourd.
After a while, the other four Taixuan Sect elders gathered over one after another.
"Great Elder, no debris from the extraterrestrial meteorite has been found."
"There is no scent of immortal cultivators' spells either."
"The cracked mountain peaks and ground were caused by the fall of some heavy object. The impact contained therein is extremely strong, much faster than the speed of the great monk's magic weapon."
"Junior Brother Zhu's magic power was detected, but there is no magic weapon breath. It seems that he died before he used the magic weapon."
Mo Hongcai listened to the words of the people around him with a heavy expression. He did not speak, but looked at the Hunyuan gourd in his hand. He tossed it with one hand and the imitation spirit treasure floated above everyone's heads.
Then he pinched a series of mysterious spells with both hands, and from the mouth of the Hunyuan Gourd, an idea of nourishment for all things gradually emerged, and wisps of blue aura gushed out from it.
They intertwined with each other and turned into an oval shape, falling diagonally downward. As the speed increased, the aura on the surface became more and more dazzling.
When this thing was close to the ground, all the auras gathered in the front section, forming a dazzling light spot. A slight burst of dust rose from the ground, and the oval-shaped aura dissipated.
"Great Elder, what is this?" The other Nascent Soul stage elders were a little confused.
Mo Hongcai continued to look at the gourd in his hand. Seeing that there was no further illusion in it, his face became a little ugly. He took a deep breath and said:
"Uncle Master recently inspected the Taixuan Sect's territory again, reinforcing the idea of endless life. As long as there is the vitality of heaven and earth in the area, he can restore the vitality scene with the power of the soul in the true essence."
"What was just shown was the change in the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth when the suspected meteorite fell."
Hearing this, the others' expressions suddenly became solemn as they thought of the change in their aura just now.
"Meteorites falling from the outer realm cannot trigger the vitality of heaven and earth."
"As the falling speed of this thing accelerates, it absorbs more and more vitality of heaven and earth, and finally it even condenses into a point. It is obvious that someone is controlling it behind the scenes."
"If it is a spell, it is impossible for such terrifying power to exist without aura residue. It may be a top-notch magic weapon."
"Could he be a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage? Now that my uncle has entered the realm of transformation into gods, who dares to provoke me, Taixuan Sect?"
Mo Hongcai listened to everyone's words and said slowly: "Not only that, but through the spell taught by the master's uncle, the approximate power can be judged. The heaven and earth energy absorbed by the meteorite suspected to be a magic weapon is almost as large as ordinary. Four or five times as many as monks.”
He said in a deep voice: "It should be a strong man at the level of a great monk. With the help of the power of a certain imitation spiritual treasure, the Supreme Elder is paying attention to the situation in the country. It is best for us not to go out alone to prevent accidents. .”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look awe-inspiring. The strength of the great monk far exceeded that of the mid- to late-stage Nascent Soul, and with the imitation spirit treasure in hand, his strength was even more terrifying.
One of them couldn't help but said: "So, Elder Zhu was killed by this strange monk?"
Mo Hongcai was silent for a while and said: "In the demonstration just now, no other changes in the vitality of heaven and earth were found. In other words, the other party killed Elder Zhu without using any means to add vitality."
Several other people were shocked when they heard this.
"Elder Zhu didn't even have time to use his magic weapon. How could such an astonishing attack speed be possible without the blessing of the vitality of heaven and earth?"
"Could it be that the other party is proficient in top-level illusions? With the great monk's huge spiritual consciousness, it is possible to confuse Elder Zhu."
"Maybe the enemy has helpers..."
Mo Hongcai listened to everyone's words and said slowly: "No matter what, we must act cautiously before our uncle finds out the enemy."
"Next, the major resource points will be temporarily stationed by the disciples of the Danjie stage. I will go through them one by one and arrange the arrays modified by my uncle to strengthen the protection of the resource points."
"Yes, Great Elder."
These Nascent Soul stage elders couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Their strength was similar to that of the deceased Elder Zhu. If they were attacked by hidden enemies, they would probably be in trouble.
Mo Hongcai summoned a flying boat and flew up with everyone.
Although he looked quite calm, he was more uneasy than anyone else. These elders did not know that except for Elder Zhu, Taoist Qingyang and Peng Yuanhua, two great monks of Taixuan Sect, and eight other Yuanying stage elders , have all fallen.
Taixuanzong's high-level combat strength has been reduced by more than one-third.
Not long ago, Gu Deming went out to track down the culprit who killed Taoist Qingyang. Although he got back the Hunyuan Gourd, he saw that his uncle's face was still heavy and he seemed to have failed to kill the enemy.
Mo Hongcai had a vague hunch that the guy who destroyed this resource point was the murderer who killed Taoist Qingyang, and maybe he was a god-level being.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the old bald donkey of Huatian Temple, no great monk dared to provoke the God Transformation Stage. Huatian Temple had always valued peace and could not initiate a war.
"Junior Brother Peng and the others died in the Southwest Immortal Realm. Could it be that the strong man from the Body Refining Pavilion?"
"Although our sect plans to use body training techniques, we are the ones who suffer. There is no need to take risks in the Body Refining Pavilion."
Several thoughts flashed through Mo Hongcai's mind, and he activated the spirit boat, leading everyone to fly towards the nearby resource point.
…
Mo Hongcai didn't notice that above their spirit boat, there was a handsome man with a hidden figure. This man seemed to be integrated with the surrounding spiritual energy, without any aura fluctuations.
It was Gu Deming, the Supreme Elder of Taixuan Sect, who had the cultivation of becoming a god.
After he came back from Zhongming Mountain, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it couldn't be the Qingyun Sect.
Half a year ago, he went to the Broken Kingdom to meet with several great gods.
Although Gu Deming was secretly blocked by the old guy from Qingyun Sect when he first tried to break through hundreds of years ago, and the two sides formed a grudge, he had already entered the stage of transformation into gods, and if the other party secretly targeted Taixuan Sect, the gains would outweigh the losses.
Moreover, the ancient battlefield of the Broken Kingdom a hundred years later will also require the cooperation of several major transformed gods. Even if other transformed gods want to suppress Taixuan Sect, they must wait for the end of the Broken Kingdom.
So where did this enemy who was suspected of possessing the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure come from?
As for the Body Refining Pavilion, it was not within the scope of his consideration at all. When Gu Mingde broke through the spirit form and interacted with the heaven and earth, he sensed that the vitality of the southwest immortal world was pure and there was no longer any spirit form.
No matter how powerful the Body Refining Pavilion is, there are only two or three powerful people in the late Nascent Soul stage. How can they dare to cross the border when faced with a behemoth like Taixuanzong who has the Divine Transformation stage?
Gu Deming frowned as he looked at the group of Nascent Soul Stage monks who continued to fly below.
He secretly followed Mo Hongcai because he felt that this secret enemy would launch a sneak attack while the Taixuan Sect elder came to inspect the traces.
"It's strange. This person first killed the elders of our sect and then destroyed the resource points. The purpose was to weaken our sect's strength. This opportunity should not be missed."
At this moment, Gu Deming suddenly raised his head and looked towards the east. Through the power of will in his vitality, he sensed the gathering of a large amount of heaven and earth's vitality.
"It's the fluctuation caused by the falling meteorite again. The soul-catching bird is patrolling there. It should be able to entangle the opponent for a while!"
Gu Deming's hidden figure flashed and disappeared. The Taixuan Sect elder below did not notice anything strange...
