Alien Science Cultivation

The Black Robes' decision was both a desperate move and a gamble! Unfortunately, taking money to avert disaster for others had always been the primary creed of the Shadow Clan assassins! They had thoroughly researched the Qingshan Sect's background and assumed it was a simple mission to exterminate the sect and carry out a few decapitation missions. The six of them were assigned to complete the decapitation missions assigned by the organization. They were Team One, their target: the eldest brother! Team Three had been sent to the scene of Ni Fang's attack, but they returned empty-handed. The organization never questioned the reasons for their failure, and three members of the team were subsequently ruthlessly eliminated! After Team Three's defeat, the organization, for safety's sake, merged Teams One and Two into Team One! Later, using information from spies within the Qingshan Sect, they located the eldest brother and lured him into the forest to assassinate him... But he wasn't just tough on the outside, he seemed even tougher on the inside! After three days and three nights of struggle, they were unable to capture him. Finally, they resorted to a round-robin attack, exhausting his spiritual energy before finally intercepting him on the mountaintop. Just when they thought the battle was finally over, he transformed into a beast. They immediately understood that this mission had been a trick. They had originally planned to inform their superiors for a decision, but after discussion, they abandoned the idea. Informing them would likely lead to their deaths even faster, and at the hands of their own people. They couldn't let this spread! Only if all six members of the team died could the secret remain hidden. Killing this guy would likely wipe out his family and tribe, and even lead to war between the two regions! They considered disposing of the body afterward, but with those legendary methods, it would surely be easy to uncover everything that had happened here... Just as they were hesitating, Ni Fang and Zhang Qiang caught up... Witnessing their friendship and their skills, they came up with a bold idea! Follow them, assist them, with their talent, intelligence, and the powerful figure behind them! Their future achievements would be limitless. Not only would they be able to survive, they could even defy fate...

After hearing the black-robed man's message, Ni Fang and the eldest brother couldn't help but burst into tears and knelt in the direction of the Qingshan Sect! Although they had long predicted that the Qingshan Sect would end like this, they couldn't stop the sadness in their hearts...

Although Zhang Qiang sensed the sincerity of the six black-robed men, he couldn't help but recall the events that had just occurred. "Could it be... Senior Brother? From the ambush to the rescue, and that question, 'Miss, are you here to save or kill?' It seems like saving Ni Fang was just a side job! Saving Senior Brother was the real purpose. Senior Brother's body was absolutely extraordinary, definitely not something a human could possess... Senior Brother has a great secret... a secret that even the black-robed men dare not reveal..."

Before Ni Fang and the eldest senior brother could recover from their grief, Zhang Qiang struggled to stand up, walked over to them, and helped them up one by one, saying softly, "Now is not the time to be sad. Don't let your master down! We are in a very dangerous situation now. Other assassins from the Shadow Clan may come at any time..."

Zhang Qiang then turned around and clasped his fists. "Seniors, whether we can escape this disaster depends on you! What should we do next...?"

The six black-robed men were stunned at first, expecting a lot of persuasion, but they were surprised by the boy's instant agreement. Then, they were filled with admiration! The tall black-robed man bowed and said, "You're too polite, little brother. The Qingshan Avenue and the high altitudes are now basically locked down. If they discover us, the experts will arrive in a flash. The only places we can escape to are the mountains and forests. Concealing our presence and roaming the jungle is our forte. With our Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivation, we can easily evade patrols. But where to escape? We're not very familiar with this area..."

"Let's go to the Dark Forest..." Ni Fang continued, "When I left the sect, Master once told me that the Dark Forest was the only place with a glimmer of hope. He had been there before and had a map with detailed markings. It was half a month's journey..." Ni Fang took out a map and placed it in front of everyone. "Master was targeted by other sects or regional managers because he had a glimmer of hope for the Divine Transformation. There is no place for us to hide in this area, only the Dark Forest. It is full of dangers. If you are not familiar with the path, even a Divine Transformation cultivator would not easily enter." Ni Fang continued, tapping the map with his finger.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. After resolutely deciding to head to the Dark Forest, they immediately packed their bags and prepared to embark on this long journey filled with unknowns and dangers.

Six black-robed men led the way, with Ni Fang, Zhang Qiang, and the eldest senior brother following closely behind. Along the way, the forest was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension, and occasionally, the creepy roars of wild beasts could be heard.

Zhang Qiang was highly alert to the movements around him, while secretly speculating in his heart about the secrets hidden by his senior brother. He would steal a glance at his senior brother from time to time, but tried his best not to make his actions too obvious.

After half a day, the doubts in my heart were still not eliminated, but became even more confused. But at this moment, I could only focus on the road ahead.

Ni Fang clutched the map tightly, carefully checking the surrounding terrain to ensure they stayed on track. After about an hour's journey, they encountered several waves of patrolling Shadow Clan monks. Fortunately, these waves were quickly dispatched by the six black-robed monks. From these Shadow Clan monks, everyone gained a general understanding of the situation. It turned out that most of them were responsible for intercepting and killing Qingshan Sect disciples, both those on the run and those who had escaped. Rewards were based on kills and cultivation level. Even if they failed to capture a disciple, providing clues would still earn them a substantial share of the reward. On the main road and the outskirts of the forest, numerous human monks of unknown origin were also patrolling, focusing their attention on a female monk. This female monk was said to possess the cultivation level of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator and carried the Qingshan Sect's treasure, the Qingfeng Sword. Legend has it that the Qingfeng Sword was acquired by the Qingshan Sect's leader during his early travels. Its exact rank is unknown, but it's precisely thanks to the Qingfeng Sword's might that the Qingshan Sect has stood firm in this region for a thousand years! The Qingshan Sect leader once single-handedly battled over a dozen cultivators of his own rank without losing! Even with his late Nascent Soul cultivation, he defied the odds by clashing with early Spiritual Transformation masters. Rumor has it that if the Qingshan Sect leader ever achieves Spiritual Transformation, he'll be unrivaled within a thousand miles! Even if the Sun Moon Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Crescent Moon Sect, and other sects united, they wouldn't be able to stand against the Qingshan Sect.

Black Robe unreservedly shared the information he had gathered with everyone! Ni Fang had been ambushed on her way back to the sect, damaging her dantian and meridians, causing her cultivation to plummet to the middle stage of the foundation building stage. Even at that stage, the force of the sword she thrust at her senior brother still required the combined efforts of two Nascent Soul cultivators and four late-stage Golden Core cultivators! One can only imagine the sheer power of the Qingfeng Sword. Hearing Black Robe's account, Ni Fang felt a wave of fear. She stole a glance at her senior brother, a wave of guilt welling up within her...

"Junior sister... don't think too much. I've used the Qingfeng Sword before, but it's nothing special. It can't kill me at all! This heart-protecting mirror of mine is the master's most precious treasure. I had to beg the master many times before I borrowed it to play with..." As he spoke, the eldest brother tore open his clothes, revealing a golden round heart-protecting mirror and a large area of strong muscles! Ni Fang rolled his eyes at him unhappily! The eldest brother could only smile foolishly and scratched his head awkwardly! "You are so stubborn, and you never forget to show off, show off your treasures! Even your muscles..." Ni Fang said angrily. Everyone glanced at the pair of brothers and sisters speechlessly. In the world of cultivating immortals, the strong are respected, even if they are from the same sect or father and son. The performance of this eldest brother in front of the junior sister was really disappointing...
