Golden Light Cliff's Ning Leshan

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is today's allocation of Spirit Stone."

Wang Yuanwu put it in a small cloth bag. Chen Mobai took it with some doubt and felt it, finding that there were more than 5 pieces.

"Uncle Zheng's latest order is to kill a first-tier peak Demon Beast and give him a reward of 4 Spirit Stone."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but show unexpected joy.

He opened the small cloth bag and saw that there were 11 Spirit Stone inside.

In addition to the 5 spirit stones he received for responding to the Mobilization Order today, he also killed a Black Plague Great Bird on his own yesterday, and together with Qi Rui, he killed another one, for which he received an extra 6 Spirit Stone.

"The feathers of this Black Plague Bird are also an excellent material for Artifact Refining. After Fellow Daoist Chen accepts these Spirit Stone, the Divine Wood Sect will be responsible for disposing of the corpses of these Demon Beast."

Wang Yuanwu explained again, and Chen Mobai suddenly realized that these Spirit Stone were the price for acquiring materials from Demon Beast.

However, he didn't know how to handle these things anyway. Even if he ended up in his own hands, he'd only get some roasted chicken wings at most. Giving them to the Divine Wood Sect would at least get him a few Spirit Stone, which was a win-win situation.

Compared to that, the fact that the Divine Wood Sect was willing to give them Spirit Stone made Chen Mobai admire Zheng Deming, who was in charge, even more.

At least, he saw that the cultivators guarding the spirit tree's array flags, after obtaining more Spirit Stone today, had their frowns, which had been caused by the deaths and injuries of their teammates yesterday, relax once again.

Those Rogue Cultivator who were previously hesitant about whether to quit to save their lives were now hesitant to speak up.

At least for the moment they received the Spirit Stone, all the Rogue Cultivator were full of energy and united as one.

"Someone's coming!"

After distributing Spirit Stone, Wang Yuanwu was about to discuss the next cooperative tactics with everyone when a bright Sword Light fell on the cliff.

"I am Ning Leshan from Golden Light Cliff. Who is the team leader here?"

The Sword Light dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face and three long wisps of beard.

"Wang Yuanwu of the Divine Wood Sect greets Uncle Ning."

Chen Mobai recognized the Sword Light as one of the three who had rushed out of the Teleportation Array yesterday to kill a Second Grade Demon Beast; it was Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Yes, I was assigned by Senior Brother Zheng to guard the defense line on the west bank. I've come here to get to know you all."

After saying this, Ning Leshan nodded, mounted his sword, and flew away from there, heading towards the next location of the spirit tree array flags.

Although this Foundation Establishment Cultivator only came and left, it gave their group even more confidence.

This means that the "Heavenly Wood Divine Light" has been used up, and the Second Grade Demon Beast has rushed to the island. With at least a Foundation Establishment Cultivator behind them, the sense of security is instantly different.

"The people at Golden Light Cliff are all Sword Cultivator, and among those of the same level, their combat strength is generally among the top."

Qi Rui knew that Chen Mobai was Rogue Cultivator from a small place in Cloud Dream Marsh and didn't know much about the common knowledge of the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect, so he started to explain it to him.

Among the five lineages of the Five Elements Sect, the Gold Meridian has always been the most powerful.

After the passing of the Primordial Ancestor, if he hadn't brought up the Golden Light Cliff, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect wouldn't have had the confidence to split up the family.

"What realm is this Uncle Ning?"

"I've heard that he broke through to the mid -Foundation Establishment stage five years ago. I just don't know if he has cultivated the Two Aspects Technique. If he has made such progress in cultivating both Metal and Water, he might be able to try to Core Formation before his lifespan ends."

Every so often, the Divine Wood Sect would organize a group of disciples who Forging Sword to go to Golden Light Cliff for exchange and learning. Qi Rui, who practiced the Crimson Flame Sword Art, was fortunate enough to stay at Golden Light Cliff for a period of time and remembered the name Ning Leshan very clearly.

"Since the Two Aspects Technique offers an opportunity to increase the chances of Core Formation, how could I not cultivate it?"

Chen Mobai felt strange. Given Ning Leshan's status as Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he must be aiming to Core Formation.

The Two Aspects Technique increases the chances of Core Formation so much that he would definitely cultivate it if he were in his shoes.

"Most of our Divine Wood Sect disciples who meet the requirements will go on to cultivate the Two Aspects Technique, but the Sword Cultivator of Golden Light Cliff are different."

"Most of them believe that Sword Cultivator requires a pure Sword Heart. Cultivating the Two Aspects Technique will make their hearts impure. It is better to focus on a sword technique that suits their Spiritual Root and temperament, so that they can forge ahead and make great progress."

"Actually, among the five lineages of the Five Elements Sect, only our Divine Wood Sect values Two Aspects Technique so much, because the Longevity Sutra can increase lifespan. After Foundation Establishment, one can have an extra 60 years to break through the bottleneck. In the other four lineages, if one cultivates the Two Aspects Technique, nine out of ten people will die of old age."

After listening to Qi Rui's words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but marvel at the unique advantages that the Divine Wood Sect had.

No wonder they dared to take the lead in splitting up the family after the passing of the Primordial Ancestor.

At this moment, Wang Yuanwu gathered everyone together again and began to have them redeploy the defense line according to the small teams they had divided up the day before.

Chen Mobai led Shi Pengyi and his sister to the old place where they had fought yesterday, while Qi Rui stood on the outermost edge, forming the first line of defense with the other Divine Wood Sect disciples.

Sure enough, a short while later, the two Second Grade Bird King led more than a thousand Black Plague Bird over. Seemingly to avoid being wiped out by the Heavenly Wood Divine Light, they scattered and landed on the Water Marsh and in the sky.

Without any further probing, they went straight into the most dangerous phase of the battle.

The location of the spirit tree array flag where Chen Mobai and his group were located remained a primary target of the Black Plague Bird's attacks.

It seems that yesterday they tested the limits of their team's strength, and today the two Bird King sent thirty first-tier peak birds to come and surround them aggressively.

If it were just Chen Mobai and his group, they would surely perish against such a massive horde of Demon Beast.

If we fight to the death, perhaps none of us will survive.

However, everyone is full of confidence today.

Wang Yuanwu nodded to his Junior Liu beside him, who, without any hesitation, unleashed the Heavenly Wood Divine Light that had been recharged overnight.

Amidst a tremendous rumbling sound.

The thirty first-tier peak Black Plague Great Bird that led the charge, despite their efforts to spread out, still had more than half of them evaporated into a cloud of blood mist by the sudden burst of Heavenly Wood Divine Light.

"Move! Leave all these Demon Beast behind!"

At Wang Yuanwu's command, Qi Rui and other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect followed him and fought their way off the cliff.

"Hmph!" At this moment, the Bird King, who was standing guard high in the clouds in the distance, let out a fierce shout.

Seeing that they had actually used the Heavenly Wood Divine Light, the uninjured, peak-level Second Grade Bird King immediately flapped its wings, unleashed its true form, and charged towards them.

"You beast, how dare you!"

Ning Leshan, who had been hiding to the side, flew over on his sword and intercepted the Bird King in mid-air.

Rumble! At the same time, along the other shores of Green Light Island, bursts of Heavenly Wood Divine Light erupted, sweeping Water Marsh surface of the lake.

Then, more Sword Light appeared, and they began to engage in close combat with the Demon Beast army that was attacking the island again.
