Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

"Enough, everyone. Let's focus on getting the treasure."

Wan Tianming didn't seem to care too much about their targeting.

As the most powerful cultivators present, he and the bearded man consumed the least amount of mana during that fierce attack.

Therefore, as long as it wasn't the bearded man who united everyone to target him, Wan Tianming didn't care at all.

Upon hearing Wan Tianming's reminder, everyone present turned their attention to the Void Heaven Cauldron.

At this moment, the Void Heaven Cauldron was swaying precariously, as if it were about to be pulled out.

This commotion was several times stronger than the last one, as if the entire Hanlitai was about to collapse.

The intense tremor was nothing to anyone present, but the blue flames that surged from above the altar immediately caused the Nascent Soul cultivators present to change their expressions.

Only a tiny bit of the Azure Ice Flame appeared, but the moment it appeared, it bloomed into a magnificent blue flower centered on the altar, gradually spreading outwards.

Immediately afterwards, a "sizzling" sound rang out, and a strange blue frost began to spread across the ground.

Soon, the blue frost approached the location where Mu Yu had set up the Inverted Five Elements Array, and the blue ice crystals began to spread along the array's barrier.

At that moment, the spirit stones used to power the Five Elements Reversal Formation were being consumed at an extremely rapid rate.

Seeing this, Han Li didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly took out a mid-grade spirit stone from his storage bag to replace it.

Mu Yu then took out five high-grade spirit stones—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—from his storage bag and placed them near the array plate of the formation, further strengthening the protective capabilities of the Reversed Five Elements Array.

With the blessing of high-grade spirit stones, the Reversed Five Elements Formation finally succeeded in stopping the blue ice from spreading further, but the problem of excessive spiritual energy consumption was not solved.

But it doesn't matter, Mu Yu has no shortage of spirit stones.

"Han Li, remember to replace the spirit stones."

"I'm going to catch a cunning wolf cub!"

This Silver Moon truly lives up to its reputation as half a soul fragment of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Even as a mere artifact spirit, it can unleash such miraculous escape power. If it were to possess its original body...

After taking the control token for the array from Han Li, Mu Yu cast a spatial teleportation spell.

Soon, a lifelike silver wolf head appeared pitifully in front of Mu Yu.

"Fortunately, you are at most a magic weapon now, not even comparable to a Core Formation stage cultivator."

"Otherwise, with the magic power I have left, I won't be able to teleport you here."

Mu Yu looked at the silver wolf in front of him and spoke in a calm tone.

The next moment, the silver wolf suddenly disappeared in front of Mu Yu, replaced by two wolf heads, one red and one yellow, and the eyes no longer had the same liveliness as before.

Using the flower basket treasure borrowed from Han Li, Mu Yu easily retrieved the treasure in front of him, revealing a jade ruyi.

"Since you're unwilling to come out and talk to me, then I'll keep you locked in that little dark room for a while longer."

"I don't have time to deal with your problem right now. Let's talk about it when we have time later."

Mu Yu spoke, then took out a jade box covered with various restrictions and put the jade ruyi in his hand inside.

Next, Mu Yu affixed several restrictive talismans to the jade box to prevent divine sense from probing. The sheer number of these talismans was such that even a true Nascent Soul stage soul trapped inside should be unable to project its divine sense.

However, Mu Yu had no idea what the specific effects would be.

After all, he had never seen a real Nascent Soul stage cultivator until now.

After putting the jade box back into her storage bag, Mu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The existence of the Silver Moon is a vital hope for Mu Yu's ascension to the Spirit Realm.

However, how to proceed requires careful planning.

Without her, Mu Yu would have to think of many other things if he wanted to ascend to the Spirit Realm.

Just as Mu Yu was reclaiming Silver Moon, a major event occurred outside.

Just as the Void Heaven Cauldron was about to be taken out, Wan Tianming's four golden silkworms could no longer hold on, their bodies enveloped in blood mist, and all their life force vanished.

At the same time, the fire python could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground after letting out a mournful cry.

The two remaining Blood Jade Spiders, already flawed in their foundations, were a miracle to have held on this long. Now, having suddenly lost all their support, they naturally couldn't hold up the weight of the Void Heaven Cauldron.

"Damn it, how can it be so useless!"

Xuan Gu was furious, but his hands did not stop moving. He spat out several balls of light, which directly enveloped the corpses of the spirit beasts on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of light turned into green mist and was absorbed into the corpse. The golden silkworms and fire pythons actually regained their ability to move.

"Well done, as expected of the once-renowned Master Xuan Gu."

The bearded man cheered, and a hint of joy also flashed in the eyes of the other Nascent Soul stage old monsters.

But just when everyone thought everything was about to get back on track, the blood-red color on the Blood Jade Spider suddenly disappeared.

The Berserk spell is a type of spell that stimulates the life force of the target, and how long it can be maintained is completely unpredictable.

"This is bad, the Blood Jade Spider's foundation is too damaged, it can't hold on any longer."

The bearded man's expression changed drastically. He wanted to use some secret technique again, but it was too late.

Having lost all pulling force, the Void Cauldron fell back down without any hindrance.

But during the descent, for some reason, a fist-sized ball of five-colored light suddenly flew out from the blue flames.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill!!!"

All the Nascent Soul cultivators present had no time to regret their failure to seize the cauldron; their eyes were filled with fervor.

Ignoring the Void Heaven Cauldron that had fallen back, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present began scrambling for the Heaven-Mending Pill.

Several streaks of light of various colors shot out almost simultaneously, colliding violently with each other. Various spells and magical treasures engaged in a life-or-death struggle in the air.

Of all those present, only Mu Yu, Han Li, and Xuan Gu, who were hiding in the Inverted Five Elements Formation, were able to remain calm in the face of the Heaven-Mending Pill.

In truth, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea were unlucky, readily believing any information casually spread by the Star Palace.

If this Heaven-Mending Pill is truly effective for Nascent Soul cultivators, then why don't the elders in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul realm in the Star Palace come to compete for it?

Xuan Gu was clever enough to know to search the soul of a Star Palace elder in order to find out the truth of the matter.

In short, while the fighting raged outside, Mu Yu focused on restoring her magical power.

Even if some aftershocks of battle occasionally come, the defensive power of the Reversed Five Elements Formation will not cause any problems.

……

"Wow, they're really going all out! Wan Tianming has even separated his nascent soul from his body. This old guy is really not afraid of losing his nascent soul."

"Huh, Wan Tianming actually managed to snatch it?"

"It returned to its physical body? This trick actually worked!"

"It seems the demonic path is failing. It's definitely because that old fellow Ji Yin is missing."

Relying on his Nascent Soul stage divine sense, Mu Yu watched the battle outside while simultaneously broadcasting it live to Han Li.

Although it was just a verbal message, Han Li listened with great fascination.

After obtaining the Heaven-Mending Pill, Wan Tianming immediately began to flee without hesitation, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators also gave chase.

Finally, the outside world quieted down.

Mu Yu waited for a moment before stepping out of the Inverted Five Elements Formation.

Although his magic power had only recovered to less than a third, there was only a Xuan Gu left in front of him, so Mu Yu naturally had nothing to fear.

He is not extremely Yin, his techniques have no weaknesses, and he doesn't need to worry about being restrained by Xuan Gu.

"As expected, you haven't left yet."

"Are you trying to synthesize the Asura Sacred Flame?"

"Go ahead and do it, I won't stop you. Remember to give me a spark after you've finished, or you won't survive today."

Mu Yu completely ignored the threat from Xuan Gu, released his divine sense to scan the surroundings, and found no trace of any Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

After sensing the auspicious and inauspicious talent again and finding it to be a good omen, he released the two level-five Blood Jade Spiders that he had been hiding.

The Cold Li Terrace and the Heavenly Gang Cover are set up in a very interesting way. No matter how much noise is made inside, no one outside can sense it at all.

Similarly, those inside cannot perceive what the outside looks like.

This scene was perfect for Mu Yu to retrieve the treasure.

I don't know if this was intentionally made by ancient cultivators.

"As expected, you still have two Blood Jade Spiders."

"I felt that something was wrong with that Blood Jade Spider. Even if it lost its master, its foundation shouldn't have been damaged to that extent."

"So, it seems this was all part of your plan?"

Xuan Gu looked at Mu Yu with a hint of apprehension.

He wasn't really interested in the Heaven-Mending Pill; the only reason he stayed was out of curiosity whether Mu Yu would leave.

As for Mu Yu taking out two more Blood Jade Spiders, that was indeed something Xuan Gu hadn't expected.

But the moment he saw the Blood Jade Spider, he understood everything.

"I guess so. I don't really care much about the Void Heaven Cauldron, but it wouldn't hurt to grab one of these spiritual treasures."

Mu Yu answered Xuan Gu's question calmly, and then the two level-five Blood Jade Spiders pulled together, dragging the Void Heaven Cauldron on the altar.

As if history were repeating itself, the Void Heaven Cauldron was slowly dragged out.

Han Li, inside the Reversed Five Elements Formation, was extremely anxious upon seeing this scene, genuinely worried that those Nascent Soul stage monsters might suddenly return.

Meanwhile, Xuan Gu, watching the increasingly bright blue light, became even more excited.

It's almost here! The Azure Ice Flame will be ready soon. Once he synthesizes the Asura Sacred Flame, he won't be afraid even if other Nascent Soul cultivators return!

Two Blood Jade Spiders, each at level five, were far more capable of dragging the Void Heaven Cauldron than the previous group of old, weak, and disabled spiders.

Soon, Mu Yu saw the true appearance of the Void Heaven Cauldron.

It has two handles and three legs, and is round in shape. The lid on top is slightly convex. The body of the cauldron is carved with insects, fish, beasts, mountains, rivers, trees and so on. The appearance is relatively simple, but it fits the atmosphere of ancient times.

As soon as the cauldron revealed its true form, a loud buzzing sound arose. If Mu Yu hadn't known that the outside world couldn't perceive anything inside the Heavenly Gang Shield, he would have been worried that those Nascent Soul stage old monsters would have noticed it.

At the same time, the azure ice flames enveloping the cauldron also surged several times in an instant, emitting a "whoosh" sound.

Xuan Gu, who had been closely watching Mu Yu take the cauldron, also hurriedly flew backward at this moment.

The entire area surrounding the altar, spanning over ten zhang, was completely frozen by the icy aura emanating from the Azure Ice Flame.

At this moment, the altar, along with the Void Heaven Cauldron, seemed to have been completely frozen.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I have a way to obtain the Azure Ice Flame outside the cauldron. You can take this opportunity to seize the treasure."

Although he knew the chances were slim, Xuan Gu still called out.

"Don't move! Move and you'll die!"

Mu Yu unleashed seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, which simultaneously surrounded Xuan Gu. A layer of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder covered the flying swords, causing Xuan Gu's heart to pound wildly.

This level of exorcising divine thunder is a bit too outrageous, isn't it?

Could it be that Mu Yu's sect is specifically cultivating a Golden Thunder Bamboo Forest?

Under the intimidation of the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, Xuan Gu dared not make the slightest move.

"Okay... I won't move, I won't move."

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please don't be angry, please don't be angry."

At this moment, Xuan Gu was embodying the spirit of "heart" to the fullest. Even though he coveted the Azure Ice Flame, he dared not do anything out of line.

Mu Yu ignored Xuan Gu; he was still useful.

Turning to look at the azure ice flames enveloping the Void Heaven Cauldron, Mu Yu tentatively used some common methods for subduing strange flames, but perhaps because his cultivation level was below the Nascent Soul stage, the results were not ideal.

So, Mu Yu decisively changed direction and fired dozens of Azure Yuan Sword Beams, fully activating the Azure Ice Flame.

In an instant, the rampaging blue ice flames scattered in all directions, and boundless cold air began to invade. Mu Yu and Xuan Gu had to dodge the scattered blue flames while being invaded by the cold air.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, what are you doing?"

"If you cannot subdue this Azure Ice Flame, then I will."

Xuan Gu had only finished half of his complaint when he saw that after the Azure Ice Flame had reached a certain level, it actually emitted a clear chime after flashing a few times at high speed.

The next moment, as if receiving some command, the scattered azure ice flames shot into the sky and naturally merged together at a certain point.

Before long, a ball of blue light floated in the air, and within it was a fist-sized blue ice bead that absorbed all the cold air.

Xuan Gu stared in disbelief, clearly not expecting the Azure Ice Flame to undergo such a transformation.

Mu Yu stretched out his hands, and the Azure Ice Pearl obediently landed in his left hand, while the Void Heaven Cauldron landed in his right hand.

"Without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one cannot completely refine this Azure Ice Flame."

"However, creating a small fire is not a big problem for me."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, while simultaneously putting the Void Heaven Cauldron in his right hand into his storage bag.

Next, Mu Yu retrieved the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords and released a large amount of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder to form a dense electric net, which firmly trapped the Azure Ice Pearl.

Only then did he use some secret techniques and his Nascent Soul stage divine sense to barely extract a wisp of Azure Ice Flame from the Azure Ice Pearl and throw it to Xuan Gu.

"Alright, begin your performance."

"Synthesize the Asura Sacred Flame; this is an opportunity you've been waiting for for a long time."

Xuan Gu stared at the azure ice flames slowly drifting towards him, feeling utterly speechless.

This is... far too little!

Although I was a little disappointed, it's better than nothing.

"Very well, since Fellow Daoist Mu is willing to give me this opportunity, I will certainly not let you down."

After Xuan Gu finished speaking, his figure turned around and transformed into a green whirlwind. At the same time, he used the Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrow to release a divine thunder that warded off evil and merged into it.

The next moment, a blackish-green flame joined in, and under the influence of the Xuan Bone, the three different powers began to merge.

Judging solely from their size, the Azure Ice Flame should be the least numerous of them.

After all, this was just a tiny bit of the Dry Blue Ice Flame that Mu Yu had separated, probably less than one-thousandth of the total.

But when the three began to merge, the power unleashed by the Azure Ice Flame actually overwhelmed the Profound Soul Yin Fire of the Profound Bone and the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

But when the three began to merge, the power unleashed by the Azure Ice Flame actually overwhelmed the Profound Soul Yin Fire of the Profound Bone and the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

"Hahaha, great! This is truly a blessing in disguise."

"If Fellow Daoist Mu hadn't separated that Azure Ice Flame, my fusion might not have gone so smoothly, and I might even have suffered a backlash and died on the spot."

At this moment, Xuan Gu had completely fused with the three powers, and the Xuan Yin demonic energy emanating from his body had been completely withdrawn into his body.

A huge black-green sphere of light appeared in Xuan Gu's hand. A faint blue light emanated from the center of the sphere, and a wisp of jet-black exorcising divine lightning surrounded the outermost layer of the sphere as a harmonizing element.

"As expected, I knew it. The three powers of Xuanhun Yin Fire, Bixie Divine Thunder, and Qianlan Ice Flame can be fused into one."

As Xuan Gu explained, the black-green sphere of light gradually shrank, and finally burst forth with an extremely dazzling burst of light.

After the radiant light dissipated, the grayish-white flame appeared in Xuan Gu's hand.

"Good, good! The fire is finally complete. This adventure was worthwhile!"

Xuan Gu was overjoyed, and at the same time, the way he looked at Mu Yu changed.

Mu Yu keenly noticed this, but pretended not to see anything and said:

"Very good, but now that we have synthesized the Asura Sacred Flame, are you willing to separate a wisp of its sub-flame for me as agreed?"

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, Xuan Gu was slightly taken aback. After a moment's thought, his greed for the Void Heaven Cauldron prevailed.

"As expected of a young master from a major sect, such thoughts are far too naive."

"Now is the time for you to offer up the Void Heaven Cauldron, and I will spare your life."

"If Wan Tianming and the others find out that you have obtained the Void Heaven Cauldron, I don't need to say more about the consequences."

"Don't think that you can truly..."

Before Xuan Gu could finish speaking, Mu Yu unleashed a massive golden lightning bolt the size of a bowl.

"Naive? You're the naive one!"

"What? Your Asura Sacred Flame? It should be mine!"
