Infiltrating the world of cultivation

To date, no one has been able to come forward and admit that they leaked the information.

Within Luoyang, people from all sides gathered, and there were even rumors that the current emperor, Ying Hai, was residing in the Luoyang Palace.

The disciples of the Northern Region Sword Sect were dispatched in large numbers, breaking into smaller groups to each build up their own power base.

Some powerful cultivation families are also eager to try their luck.

Everyone is keeping a low profile; presumably, everyone is observing the situation.

Two days later, the group gathered.

The five disciples of the Northern Region Sword Sect were all led by a cultivator surnamed Ma, while the remaining seven were clearly doing their own thing.

Everyone knew that this cultivator surnamed Ma must know some secrets, but he just didn't say them.

However, everyone was sensible enough not to ask, as they had already received their reward of one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Next, all we need to do is cooperate with that cultivator surnamed Ma. Who knows, we might even be able to get some benefits from his company.

However, Wang Chao had many thoughts on the matter. The cultivator surnamed Ma was at the ninth stage of Qi Refining, while the other four disciples of the Northern Region Blade Sect were at least at the sixth stage of Qi Refining.

The seven people on the Dynasty's side were all at the fifth stage of Qi Refining, making their combat strength rather weak compared to the disciples of the Northern Region Blade Sect.

Since the destination is the tomb of the King of Qin, they will not only be of no help, but may even be a hindrance. So the question is, what is the point of recruiting these disciples of the Northern Region Sword Sect?

Apart from that cultivator surnamed Ma, whose strength was too formidable, the dynasty was not too afraid of the others. The dynasty itself had the combat power of a Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivator, and with Little Grey added to the mix, they were not necessarily going to suffer a loss.

In the evening, the cultivator surnamed Ma summoned everyone, saying that he was going to the tomb of the King of Qin. Everyone was very puzzled. The city of Luoyang had been thoroughly searched, but nothing was found. Could there really be an oversight?

"Earth-traveling boat! Go!"

The cultivator surnamed Ma summoned a boat-shaped magic weapon, which, judging from its fluctuations, was a high-grade magic artifact!

It should be noted that Elder Zhou only used a top-grade magic artifact, while this cultivator surnamed Ma, with his Qi Refining Stage 9 cultivation, actually possessed a high-grade magic artifact.

It seems that he holds a considerable position within the sect.

The Earth-Traveling Boat is entirely yellowish-brown and looks somewhat old-fashioned, but the array set up on it is extremely powerful, enabling the Earth-Traveling Boat to travel underground.

It's important to understand that the underground world is not so simple; there may be spatial nodes underground as well.

Even now, Wang Chao still doesn't understand what he went through in that desert vortex.

There were no deserts around the Tang Dynasty, so how did the dynasty travel such a long distance?

Therefore, when the cultivator surnamed Ma summoned the Divine Travel Boat to travel underground, Wang Chao still felt a lingering unease.

hum!

A compass appeared in the hands of the cultivator surnamed Ma.

The compass flickered with spiritual energy and emitted a soft hum. A ball of spiritual light appeared above the compass, filled with small white dots of various shapes.

The dynasty didn't know the purpose of the compass and could only stare blankly; illiteracy is truly terrifying.

At this moment, everyone understood that they were probably going to be controlled by others, although they didn't know where this speedboat was going to take them.

However, one thing is certain: without a cultivator surnamed Ma, they would never have been able to return to the surface.

"Found it! There it is!"

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the cultivator surnamed Ma looked at the compass and excitedly shouted out.

Wang Chao saw that a six-pointed star-shaped white area appeared in the center of the compass, which was covered with white dots.

The direction the Earth-Walking Boat was heading was none other than that six-pointed star region.

The shape of this six-pointed star looks very abstract; Wang Chao only associated it with a six-pointed star through his imagination.

"Gentlemen, this is very likely the real Qin King's tomb. We have many opponents, and we need everyone to work together."

To be honest, the Holy Son of my Northern Region Sword Sect has also gotten involved.

A rare look of solemnity appeared on the face of the cultivator surnamed Ma.

"Could it be that the Holy Son is stronger than you? Could it be that he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

When a rogue cultivator asked a question, Wang Chao also pricked up his ears, as he himself was not very clear about the Holy Son's strength level.

The Qinghui Sword Sect had seven holy sons, but the dynasty was too weak at the time and could not see any clues.

"It's impossible for them to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. All Foundation Establishment cultivators will be dispatched to the areas under the jurisdiction of the sect. The disciples who remain in the sect are all Qi Refining stage cultivators."

Although I am at the ninth level of Qi Refining, compared to those Holy Sons, I am probably no match for them.

There was a self-deprecating look on the face of the cultivator surnamed Ma. Clearly, he believed that there was still a huge gap between himself and those holy sons.

"It's just that they have more powerful spells and use more magic weapons. The difference shouldn't be that huge, right?"

Everyone knows that the difference between people of the same level is not too great.

"You may not know this, but in ancient times, there were twelve levels of Qi Refining. Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, it has been simplified to nine levels."

Those at the Saintly Son level are all individuals above the ninth level of Qi Refining. They cultivate using ancient methods, far surpassing their peers.

The foundation laid during the Qi Refining stage directly affects the quality of Foundation Establishment. Foundation Establishment is the starting point for cultivators like us. Only by laying a solid foundation can we achieve long-term development.

This is why so many people want to explore the tomb of the King of Qin.

The King of Qin could forcibly establish his foundation using his physical body; if one mastered the methods involved, their foundation-building abilities would experience a qualitative leap.

Upon hearing what the cultivator surnamed Ma said, Wang Chao's expression shifted. No wonder the Five Elements Manual recorded twelve levels of Qi Refining. It turned out that there were differences between ancient times and the present.

There shouldn't be any problem with what the cultivator surnamed Ma said, but what is his purpose in recruiting everyone?

The fact that everyone was at the fifth stage of Qi Refining was not of much help in this operation. It wasn't a large-scale group battle, so shouldn't such small-team infiltration operations be conducted with the most elite personnel possible?

Although Wang Chao had doubts in his heart, after experiencing so much, he was now able to hide his emotions very well.

As long as we keep a close eye on these disciples of the Northern Region Sword Sect, they won't suffer any losses.

As the group moved through the soil and rocks underground, it was difficult to discern their location. However, the cultivator surnamed Ma, relying on his compass, was quite steady.

Seeing this, Wang Chao was secretly amazed. How advanced!

hum!

As the terrestrial vessel approached the white six-pointed star, Wang Chao felt a slight tremor in the vessel, and his body and soul seemed to tremble as well.

It's a wonderful feeling, like a diver surfacing and seeing the clear sky after the clouds have parted.

The Earth-Traveling Boat was sealed off, and no one could clearly see what was happening outside. However, they could clearly sense that the boat's speed seemed to have increased.

"arrive!"

The cultivator surnamed Ma spoke in a deep voice, a fleeting, inscrutable look in his eyes.
