True Target

Chen Mobai: "Does Nascent Formation necessarily require external aids?"

Gongsun Jielü: "In the history of the Immortal Sect, Ancestor Yuanyang is the only one who did not use spiritual objects to Nascent Formation. But even he needed the Realm Gate to send him to Moon Star in order to Core Cracks, Nascent Soul Emerges."

Chen Mobai: "Aren't there practitioners of the Evergreen Technique?"

Gongsun Jielü: "Even cultivators who have mastered the Evergreen Technique will not reject Nascent Soul Formation Spirit Medicine, because there are some hurdles that you still cannot overcome if you do not take the elixir, even if you can start over countless times."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression suddenly changed; it was the first time he had ever heard of such things.

Then he smiled slightly and said something that left Gongsun Jielü stunned.

"Then, I'll try to be the first."

What? The first? Without relying on external objects, achieving Nascent Soul formation purely through one's own Nascent Formation?! Are you crazy?! Do you think you're the Ancestor Yuanyang?! That person Innate Pure Yang Body, using immortal techniques to Immortal Technique: Mend Heaven the heavens and refine their immortal Immortal Spiritual Root —the most heaven-defying talent. With such a solid foundation and extraordinary talent, they were undoubtedly the number one person in the immortal Immortal Sect, unparalleled throughout history!

Although you claim to Potential for Spirit Transmutation, you are Yixing inferior to Ancestor Yuanyang... Hmm... This guy in front of me... seems... perhaps...

As Gongsun Jielü read this, he suddenly remembered that Chen Mobai was cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll revised by the Ancestor Yuanyang.

If one truly cultivates the Pure Yang Dharma Body to perfection, it is possible to refine one's aptitude into that of a near-perfect Primordial Ancestor Yuanyang.

In other words, the body cultivated is Pure Yang Body acquired later in life, which is not as good as Xiantian.

Even so, it is still an extraordinary and exceptional talent.

So if that's the case...

His words didn't seem like empty boasts! After Gongsun Jielü realized this, the way he looked at Chen Mobai changed.

Could this guy really Nascent Soul Formation Success on his own? Thinking this, Gongsun Jielü felt that the Immortal Sect was no longer of any use to him.

Such terrifying Potential for Spirit Transmutation! For the first time in his life, Gongsun Jielü, who always prided himself on his exceptional talent, felt a sense of envy and jealousy towards a young man's abilities.

Now, most of the good mood that had been about making an arrest and gaining merit had dissipated.

Chen Mobai watched Gongsun Jielü walk forward without saying a word, and couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that his words just now might have been a bit too high-profile.

But that's always been his persona in the Immortal Sect!

As they were leaving, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.

Wait a minute, didn't Master Xinji say there was an evil person in Vermilion Cloud City who was the reincarnation of the Ascension Cult's Soldier-Slayer? Yu Tianguang was easily suppressed by Gongsun Jielü, so it's obviously not him.

If Yu Tianguang is not, then why was he taken away as a remnant of the Ascension Cult, and why hasn't the evil man made a move yet?

Does this mean...?

As Chen Mobai thought about it, he realized that Yu Tianguang might really have been wronged.

But even if he thought that way, he couldn't exonerate Yu Tianguang, because the Immortal Sect values evidence.

When Chen Mobai returned to the foot of the mountain with Gongsun Jielü, Lin Yin was already directing the members of the Sky Mending Group who had come with him to dismantle the Array Formation they had set up earlier.

Lan Haitan was wearing a bracelet, the other end of which was connected to Yu Tianguang's handcuffs. Before being escorted to Wangwu Cave Heaven, Yu Tianguang was responsible for personally guarding him.

After all, Yu Tianguang's identity is not ordinary, and he needs to go through a complete trial process before he can be truly convicted.

When Chen Mobai returned, he felt as if a gaze from the shadows had glanced at him.

However, upon looking around, they found nothing.

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down next to Yu Tianguang and Lan Haitan.

"His Golden Core has been pinned down by Deputy Minister Gongsun, preventing him from using his spiritual power. I can guard him alone."

Lan Haitan thought that Chen Mobai was afraid that Yu Tianguang would escape and cause the Wuqi Dao Academy to suffer an injustice, so he said with a smile.

"No matter what the outcome of the trial is, True Person Yu has been kind to me, and I will escort him along the way to prevent him from suffering."

Chen Mobai chose to follow his heart and made this choice.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianguang, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, gave him a deep look, hesitated before sighing and lowering his head.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to accompany me on this journey, Brother Chen."

Lan Haitan did not refuse and invited Chen Mobai to sit down with a smile.

Since the arrest went so smoothly, they had to wait a little longer for the Immortal Sect's Airship to arrive.

"I've always been curious about what kind of evidence could make the Law Enforcement Hall act so decisively, even dragging me into it to arrest True Person Yu."

After having doubts, Chen Mobai felt that there was something wrong with the procedure in which Yu Tianguang was identified as a remnant of the Ascension Cult.

In the Immortal Sect, if Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall is to be convicted, the Opening the Origin Hall must first issue an official announcement to strip him of his Councilor status before the Law Enforcement Hall can take action to arrest him.

There have been instances of directly arresting Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall, but these were usually during times of war when authority was urgently needed, or when the Spirit Transmutation Ancestor directly issued an order. In peacetime like now, Chen Mobai had never heard of anyone taking action directly without following proper procedures.

"Brother Chen, before we came here, we suddenly received a mysterious note."

Lan Haitan didn't answer directly, but instead said something that made Chen Mobai's heart skip a beat. However, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked with feigned surprise, "What note?"

"I happen to have it, Brother Chen, please take a look."

Lan Haitan handed over the note that Chen Mobai had pieced together from words on the newspaper. The latter picked it up and looked at it, his face showing a look of "shock".

"True Person Yu doesn't seem like it."

Chen Mobai thought for a moment, said those words, and then handed the note back over.

However, after Lan Haitan took it, he did something that surprised him greatly.

"True Person Yu, you should take a look too."

Yu Tianguang was naturally curious, but he thought he was innocent and wanted to make a good impression, so when Lan Haitan handed him the note, he deliberately closed his eyes to show that he wasn't peeking.

But now that Lan Haitan had personally shown him, Yu Tianguang opened his eyes.

Upon seeing this, his expression changed drastically!

"I'm not! If I were, I would have suppressed the three of you on the spot and wouldn't have put up with this nonsense. Besides, once I entered Wangwu Cave Heaven, under the watchful eyes of two Nascent Soul cultivators, I would have had no chance of escape. How could I possibly surrender without a fight?"

Chen Mobai wholeheartedly agreed with Yu Tianguang's words. If he were the reincarnation of the evil person Ascension Cult Sect and was about to be exposed, he would have tried to break free from the shackles of the Immortal Sect and escape from Earth Origin Star the moment he was exposed.

"Twenty-three years ago, I carried out a mission in Vermilion Cloud City. I happened to join forces with Brother Chen to kill all the evil followers of the Ascension Cult. However, we were supposed to protect the target we left behind, but he was taken away by a mysterious Golden Core True Person..."

Lan Haitan then recounted that old case.

"It couldn't be me."

After listening, Yu Tianguang managed to utter five words, but he didn't have enough evidence to prove it wasn't him.

"After our investigation, we found that none of the Golden Core True Person from the Immortal Sect were in Vermilion Cloud City at that time, so the suspect must be someone from Vermilion Cloud City."

"Isn't there Shi Qing too? Why are you so fixated on me?!" Yu Tianguang blurted out after hearing Lan Haitan's words.

"Yes, there's also True Person Pure Serenity!"

Lan Haitan clapped his hands with a smile, Chen Mobai frowned when he saw this.

"Last month, Gu Changfeng, who was imprisoned for practicing Forbidden Technique, suddenly confessed that he had copied the God Devouring Technique for you, and that you also practiced this Forbidden Technique."

"Impossible! I swear I have never practiced the God Devouring Technique!"

As Yu Tianguang spoke, he was about to raise his hand Dao Heart Oath.

"True Person Yu, please wait Gu Changfeng also made Dao Heart Oath, indicating that you have definitely cultivated the God Devouring Technique. Under the Heart-Questioning Talisman of the Law Enforcement Hall, we can be sure that he is not lying."

Lan Haitan stopped Yu Tianguang from making the oath and said something that left him speechless.

"What on earth is going on? I really didn't cultivate the God Devouring Technique..."

When he said this, Yu Tianguang no longer had enough confidence.

Since Gu Changfeng survived the Dao Heart Oath and the Heart-Questioning Talisman, it means he was telling the truth.

But Yu Tianguang was certain that he had no memory of any cultivation techniques related to the God Devouring Technique! "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

At this moment, Lan Haitan suddenly spoke up and asked Chen Mobai, who thought for a while before giving an answer, "Is it possible that True Person Yu cultivated a Spiritual Sense Technique without his knowledge, thinking it was a normal Immortal Sect technique, but it is actually Forbidden Technique!"

Slap! Slap!

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Lan Haitan suddenly clapped his hands and nodded at Chen Mobai with a very surprised expression.

"That's right, that's also one of the possibilities we've analyzed. So the question is, which Spiritual Sense Technique does True Person Yu cultivate? Is it the God Devouring Technique?"

As soon as Lan Haitan finished speaking, Yu Tianguang immediately recalled everything and recited the names of all the books he had read related to Spiritual Sense since he reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer in high school.

"Volcano Meditation Technique", "Morning Sun Technique", "Spirit Controlling Technique", "Jade Glass Art", "Rising Sun Telekinesis Method"...

When Chen Mobai heard about the Spirit Controlling Technique, his heart skipped a beat.

"These two techniques, ' The Morning Sun Technique ' and ' The Spirit Controlling Technique,' are two directions of improvement on the God Devouring Technique. Could they be these two?"

After recounting all the information related to Spiritual Sense from his memory, Yu Tianguang said somewhat uncertainly.

"Can True Person Yu write down all the contents of these techniques from your memory?"

Lan Haitan asked again, Yu Tianguang immediately nodded.

Lin Yin immediately grabbed some paper and pen, and even moved a table over.

Buzzing! Just then, the Airship prepared by the Law Enforcement Hall arrived above them. Since the main target had been arrested, there was no need to conceal the huge commotion.

Soon, the people of the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy discovered the large object floating in the sky.

Two Foundation Establishment teachers immediately came over. Lin Yin went up and explained the situation. They also saw Yu Tianguang being suppressed by Lan Haitan and Chen Mobai. Their expressions changed drastically, and they returned the way they came.

"The show is almost over, it's time to take True Person Yu away."

Upon seeing this, Lan Haitan led Yu Tianguang towards the Airship in mid-air. Chen Mobai, seeing this, used his spiritual power to support the paper and pen on the table and followed.

Yu Tianguang was unable to mobilize his spiritual power at the moment, and upon seeing this scene, he gave Chen Mobai a grateful look.

Before long, Lin Yin and the other members of the Sky Mending Group who had set up the Grand Array also entered the Airship.

But Chen Mobai didn't see Gongsun Jielü. A vague inspiration flashed through his mind. Combining it with Lan Haitan's words just now, he felt that he might have grasped the true purpose of this operation.

Just then, the Airship began to glow with spiritual light, then changed direction and headed towards Wangwu Cave Heaven.

The speed wasn't very fast either, as if it was deliberately waiting.

To Lan Haitan's disappointment, even after flying out of Vermilion Cloud City's airspace, he still didn't see that person.

"You don't actually want to capture True Person Yu, do you? You just want to use True Person Yu to lure out your real target!"

Chen Mobai asked the question, and Lan Haitan was slightly surprised before nodding gently.

At this moment, Yu Tianguang had finished memorizing all the content. Lan Haitan picked it up and took out the "Jade Glass Art" separately.

"In the Immortal Sect Library, this cultivation method only contains content up to the Golden Core Third Layer. However, True Person Yu's version allows one to directly cultivate up to the Golden Core Ninth Layer. I wonder where it came from?"

"It was taught to me by True Person Pure Serenity. She said that she and Jade Wutong practiced spiritual transformation Comprehend Together Soul stage."

"She used this method to overcome all the obstacles to the Golden Core Ninth Layer, but she had not yet Nascent Formation, so she only taught me the part of the Spiritual Sense up to the Golden Core Perfection level."

"This technique is practiced within the Spirit Vein of Vermilion Cloud City. By visualizing the Jade Wutong at the core of the Spirit Vein, one's Spiritual Sense will improve more effectively. The closer one gets to the Jade Wutong, the faster one's Spiritual Sense will progress, and one's mind will become clearer and more agile."

"I really didn't know this was the God Devouring Technique!"

By the end, Yu Tianguang had finally understood. Looking at the Jade Glass Art he had memorized, he wished he could just tear it up.

"Did Deputy Minister Gongsun go to arrest Shi Qing?"

Chen Mobai finally understood that the Immortal Sect had known all along that Shi Qing was the one who cultivated the God Devouring Technique.

The sudden and open arrest of Yu Tianguang, and even the deliberate letting the people of the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy know about it when he left, was probably intended to lure out Shi Qing.

"The people from the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy reported our capture of True Person Yu to True Person Pure Serenity. Logically speaking, since such a thing happened in her territory, she should have intervened after learning about it."

"According to our original plan, as long as True Person Pure Serenity leaves that Jade Wutong to intercept us, the Forbidden Array on this Airship will be activated to sever her connection with the Jade Wutong, and then the higher-ups will take action to suppress her."

"But since she didn't come as planned, we had to activate the backup plan, Plan B!"

At this point, Lan Haitan no longer hid anything.
