"No wonder Father has been stuck at Spirit Platform Condensation for several years." Seeing this, Mu Xingqi also understood.
For ordinary cultivators like them, their spiritual sense was weak. Condensing the Spirit Platform was like a three-year-old child building a large tower, where they could only move bricks one by one and then build. This process naturally required a massive amount of time.
If only there were a Spiritual Sense Cultivation Method.
Mu Xingqi sighed mournfully.
However, a Spiritual Sense Cultivation Method was likely only something Golden Core factions could grasp. Even if their Mu Family, a tiny Foundation Establishment Family, managed to acquire one by luck, it would invite covetous desires from others.
A single Golden Core True Person could eradicate their Mu Family ten or a hundred times over.
Putting these thoughts aside, cultivation still had to be taken step by step, just like eating a meal one bite at a time.
He continued looking at the Simulation Panel, and the text emerging on it had new content.
[In May of the fourth year, you spent almost all your time on Spirit Platform Condensation.]
[During this period, you deliberately carved out time to see your Mother, and of course, Mu Xinger as well.]
[Mu Xinger's attitude toward you had already grown cold. You wanted to ease the relationship between the two of you, but current Mu Xinger was already the Pill Hall's Vice Hall Master, as well as a Yellow Grade Mid Rank Alchemist. With tasks on her body being far from few, you consequently never found an opportunity.]
[You likewise went to visit your Father, and you discovered that Father, who had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, was obviously much busier than before. The family's various matters, big and small, all required his approval, though he seemed to relish it.]
[It was as if Father in the past had strived to gain a certain sense of validation, whereas Father now seemed to strive for the sake of the lineage.]
[After exchanging warm pleasantries, you departed with satisfaction.]
[In July of the fourth year, you were still diligently condensing the Spirit Platform.]
[In the same month, you inadvertently heard that the Wang Family had been annihilated. Because it concerned the Wang Family, you specifically made inquiries about it.]
[As a result, you obtained news that greatly shocked you: the Wang Family had actually been wiped out by a youth! Moreover, that youth was named Li Qingyun.]
[You specially had someone pull up Li Qingyun's information: Li Qingyun, male, similar in age to you, was originally the son of the Li Family Patriarch in Jinzhou County. His aptitude could be considered of medium caliber. At merely 13, he was already at the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, whereas the Li Family was merely a Qi Refining faction. Two years ago, the Li Family was annihilated by the Wang Family, and Li Qingyun even had his cultivation crippled by the Wang Family and was sold to a male brothel.]
[Afterward, news concerning Li Qingyun suddenly broke off; after all, no one would care about a youth who sold his body.]
[He appeared before the eyes of the crowd once again precisely this month. Making another appearance, his cultivation had unexpectedly broken through to Foundation Establishment, and moreover, with a single person and a single sword, he had slaughtered his way right through the Wang Family from top to bottom!]
[Such a terrifying battle record left all the factions of Jinzhou County shaken to the core. However, it was said that after Li Qingyun slaughtered the Wang Family, he never appeared again. Some people guessed that he might have already left Jinzhou County.]
[After all, a sixteen-year-old Foundation Establishment Realm expert was unprecedented throughout the entire history of Jinzhou County. Such a true dragon would definitely not be trapped in a backwater place like Jinzhou County.]
[You could not help but exclaim with emotion: The heroes of the world truly are like crossing carp! You never expected that in tiny Jinzhou County, such a brilliantly dazzling person would emerge, and furthermore be able to rise from humble beginnings. If there were a chance, you would very much like to befriend such a legendary figure.]
"!"
"Li Qingyun? Why is this name so familiar?"
"Right! The male brothel! Could he be that youth I met when I went to the male brothel during my first simulation?"
"His experiences are simply a protagonist template!" Mu Xingqi could not help but exclaim.
Could he really have encountered a Son of Heaven's Mandate of this world?
If there is a chance, going to befriend him would have only advantages and no disadvantages.
[In August of the fourth year, an eerie blood palm descended from the heavens, instantly blanketing the greater part of Muye Mountain within it.]
[You felt the vital energy and blood within your body suppressed. Struck with great alarm, you immediately went outside.]
[Yet the scene that followed shocked you speechless: a sky-covering blood palm struck directly at Muye Mountain's Clan Protection Array, and within mere moments, your Mu Family's Clan Protection Array began to crack apart!]
[The vital energy and blood in your body were clearly suppressed by that eerie blood palm, but with your current cultivation, you could still barely resist it.]
[Your Grandfather and Father shot out simultaneously. Your Grandfather met the blood palm head-on with a Water Dragon Fist, and your Father likewise raised his sword and moved.]
[However, the instant your Grandfather made contact with the eerie blood palm, he was sent flying straight away! Blood stained the firmament!]
[Your Father propped up your Grandfather and roared toward the sky, "When has our Mu Family ever offended Your Excellency! For Your Excellency to actually want to exterminate us completely!"]
[The blood palm gave no response. Like a cold-blooded killing machine, it swooped down to assault your Father.]
[Your Mother and a crowd of family elders rushed over one after another, immediately forming an array to assist your Father.]
[You also decisively rushed forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your Mother and the crowd of elders.]
[A trace of tearlight flashed in the depths of your Mother's eyes. She hoped you would leave, but she also knew you had no choice but to fight for the lineage's life or death.]
[Yet even with you exhausting your entire body's spiritual qi, you could not shake even a fraction of that eerie blood palm, let alone the person behind the scenes.]
[Above the blood palm, a faint, flickering human figure appeared somewhat impatient.]
[Yet because the distance was too great, you simply could not make out that person's appearance, seeing only that the opposing party wore a black robe and resembled a phantom.]
[Seeing that you actually joined forces to block the blood palm, the human figure curled the corners of his mouth, condensed another blood palm once again, and slapped it down.]
[Every single one of you wore a look of shock; against two blood palms, you simply could not hold your ground!]
[Under a moment of extreme peril, your Mother decisively made her move, slapping you out of the blood palm's range with a single palm strike.]
[With tear-filled eyes, you could only watch helplessly as your own family members were beaten into bloody mist by the blood palm.]
[Seeing that most of the Mu Family's experts had been dealt with by him, the black-robed man smiled with satisfaction, dropped down from high altitude, and began gathering some intact corpses into his own storage bag.]
[Hiding in the dark, you clenched your teeth tight, raised your sword, and slashed straight at the man's back with your strongest sword technique, "Wave Shadow Falling Pine South".]
[However, that black-robed man had anticipated it long ago, turning his hand around to catch your sword without the slightest deviation. With a use of spiritual qi in his two fingers, he actually shattered your arms straight through the rusty sword!]
[You seemed to have anticipated this as well, utilizing the sword qi hidden deep in the ground to draw it forth in an attack toward the black-robed man's lower body.]
[A streak of sword qi manifested from between the black-robed man's two legs, charging straight for the black-robed man's crotch!]
[Because the distance was too close, even the black-robed man did not react in time, and the sword qi struck dead center in the black-robed man's crotch.]
[Yet, contrary to your expectations, the sword technique style you considered your strongest actually only shattered the black-robed man's clothes!]
[Even his lower body did not possess the slightest trace of a wound!]
["How is this possible?" With disbelief written all over your face, was this black-robed man even human? What difference was there between him and an adamantine physique?]
[You raised your head and saw the black-robed man's true appearance clearly—it was unexpectedly that old man who closely resembled the Fire Cloud Evil God...]
