Very reasonable cultivation

The distance of two hundred miles is just a blink of an eye for the universal storage device controlled by Tian Zhen.

Looking at the dead silence in the village ahead, Tian Zhen's heart sank to the bottom. The thing he least wanted to happen had happened.

The universal storage device directly broke into the formation, as if it had broken into a body of water. The light inside became much darker. However, Tian Zhen looked at the dried corpses on the ground, the old people, the children...

This made Tian Zhen's scalp tingle, and an extreme rage rushed to the top of his head, but it actually brought him extreme calmness. He instantly found the eye of the entire formation. The single eye of the universal storage device flashed, and a terrifying beam of light went straight through the heavy houses, instantly vaporizing the skull that was hiding the eye of the formation. The beam of light swept across, forcing out a middle-aged man in a black robe with black-red hair and a mouth full of blood.

"Why are you being so rude, comrade? They're just mortals. You've already destroyed my treasure, so how about I compensate you with three Blood Spirit Pills? Let's just pretend this never happened!" Seeing someone tough to deal with, the man cursed himself. Even though he felt a bit arrogant, he couldn't help but use his forbidden technique to transform into blood and dodge Tian Zhen's beam. After all, his treasure couldn't even withstand a second of this, and he didn't think his body could be as strong as his treasure.

Seeing that he was forced out, he didn't pay any attention to what the man said. He controlled the universal storage device and caught up with the man in the blink of an eye and hit him hard on the waist. There was a click sound.

But it was not over yet. The universal storage device pushed him into the ground in an arc, rose into the air again, and became three meters in diameter. The change in balance intensified the force between him and the planet, and then pressed down hard.

Boom~ The ground shook, and the universal storage device returned to its original size. Looking at the black-robed Jindan monk who was embedded in the round pit and had been disfigured beyond recognition, the universal storage device turned its single eye and began to extract his energy.

"Wait a minute! Ahem! Senior, I have something to say! Everything can be discussed. I have information. Senior, don't you want to know how I got here?" The black-robed monk who was embedded in the round pit and had his energy drained raised his hand tremblingly to stop him. His treasure was destroyed, and his protective magic weapon was broken by brute force twice in a row. His mind was severely impacted, and the energy in his body was in chaos. He no longer had the ability to resist.

Hearing this, Tian Zhen stopped extracting from the universal storage device and said coldly, "Speak!"

"Can you please let me go?"

The one-eyed universal storage device began to rotate and drain his energy.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Seeing no room for maneuver, the black-robed man immediately gave in, cursing inwardly. "Didn't they say there were no Nascent Soul cultivators left in the Qiling Sect? What the hell was this thing? I just showed up with a spiritual weapon, and they're treating me like an ant? I'm a Jindan cultivator!" He swore to himself that if he could survive, he would crush the person who had given him the information and the defense map to dust, then refine their soul into his Myriad Souls Sail.

With a bit of luck in his heart, and at the same time trying his best to delay the time to recover from his injuries and energy, he said: "I got the information from a man named Tieshou Li, and also got a map of the Qiling Sect's formation defense."

The black-robed figure's voice trembled slightly as he tried to maintain composure, but inwardly he was meticulously planning his next escape route. He knew the owner of this spiritual weapon would not let him go. He took a deep breath and continued, "Iron Hand Li is a man of the underworld, and I have some experience with him. He stumbled upon a secret about the Qiling Sect and shared it with me. He also stumbled upon the formation diagram and, believing it would be useful to me, gave it to me as well."

Tian Zhen knew from the color fluctuations emanating from his body that this thing was only panicking on the surface, but was actually calm inside. He didn't need to guess to know that this thing wanted to delay time.

"Where is the spirit of those villagers?" Tian Zhen's emotionless voice came from the universal storage device.

"Here, here, here!" As he spoke, he directly took out his signature spiritual weapon, the Ten Thousand Souls Sail, and stuck it into the ground. Suddenly, a black mist spread out, instantly covering the entire village. The vision of the universal storage device was instantly shrouded in a pitch-black mist, and bursts of wailing came from all directions.

At this time, Tian Zhen received the message from the master, and Tian Zhen also told the master the news here.

Tian Zhen finally felt relieved and began to collect all the black mist here like a dragon sucking water.

The black-robed monk, transformed into a blood-red rainbow, had already fled far away from the area of the existence. Seeing that the thing hadn't caught up, he couldn't help but shout in joy, "I didn't expect it! This is my escape route, hehehe...ah!"

Before he could finish laughing, he was nailed to the ground from the air by four flying swords wrapped in sword light.

He couldn't help but groan and spit out another mouthful of blood. After seeing that the person coming was wearing the clothes of the Qiling Elder, he knew that as a casual cultivator, he naturally had no means of self-defense. Despair filled his heart and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are going too far!"

After saying this, his golden elixir exploded and he died on the spot, taking with him a large number of trees.

Wang Xu retracted his sword, stared gloomily at the damage caused by the man below, and then headed towards Mufeng Village.

When he arrived, he saw the village in shambles, with leaves, dustpans, brooms, and other items easily blown away by the wind scattered everywhere. He arrived at the center of the village, where a small sail, now a mortal object, was planted. His disciple's flying ball, with its storage, lay in front of a dried corpse, muttering, "Impossible, impossible! How could it be gone?"

Tian Zhen kept searching for the wailing ghosts in the universal storage device, but there was not a single one whose closed-loop resonance frequency matched the corpse in front of him. He changed several and it was the same. This made him fall into a trance along with the wailing of the ghosts.

"Disciple, what are you doing?" Wang Xu immediately noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

"Master is here! I, I'm trying to find a way to change them back." Tian Zhen's trembling voice came from the universal storage device. He already had the answer in his heart, but he had been deceiving himself. There must be a way.

"Alas~ Zhen'er, they are dead and gone. Even if you forcibly resurrect them, will they still be them?" Wang Xu sighed. No matter how talented one is, he will not be able to let go of his heart when encountering such a thing.

The universal storage device was silent for a while, and then Tian Zhen's voice came: "Master, is it true that the dead cannot be resurrected?"

"Of the forty-nine Heavenly Transformations, one has vanished. That One remains beyond our control." Wang Xu sighed again, with the air of a seasoned veteran. He had considered trying to revive someone before. But the human soul is that One, their true nature. Even a complete replication of their memories could never return them to their original form.

"Master, I understand, I understand." Tian Zhen's voice trembled and became lower and lower. Looking at the corpse of a child in front of him, he could vaguely see his appearance when he was alive. That smile was exactly the same as the children in Tianjia Village.

Tian was terrified. He feared something like this would happen to someone he knew. He also understood that the Qiling Sect was currently surrounded by wolves. With just one opportunity, the place would be completely devastated. Once the balance was broken, it would take chaos to restore it. But how many people would die in this chaos?

He instantly became convinced that he had to act. He had to break the balance first and establish a stronger balance in order to preserve everything he was familiar with.
