Setting Up the White Bone Cave, an Old Friend Visits

After resting for two days at Purple Jade Mountain, Wu Chu, Houtu by Miss Houtu, headed to Myriad Crows Mountain. Houtu Miss Houtu shattered the Myriad Crows Ten Thousand Crows Formation with a single punch, the two of them leaped into the White Bone Cave within Myriad Crows Mountain.

Within that White Bone Cave, wisps of deathly energy lingered like mist. Upon careful observation, one could discern the power of the Great Dao Order, formed by the laws of death, descending upon the cave.

If you comprehend the Great Dao Laws death here, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, for Wu Chu, a beginner in this field, it is not suitable to come here to comprehend the Great Dao Laws of Death from the very beginning.

He is currently able to withstand the power of the laws of death here, but he has no intention of continuing to comprehend the laws of death for the time being.

Comprehending the Death Dao can easily turn a person into something neither human nor ghost.

Wu Chu felt that he should first try to comprehend the Five Elements Dao. If that didn't work, then he could come here to cultivate in seclusion and comprehend the Death Dao.

Strength is temporary, but good looks are for a lifetime. As someone with a wide circle of friends, Wu Chu believes that image is still very important.

Between these hanging Great Dao Order, there is a large black stone with nine orifices, silently residing within, as if breathing like a person, inhaling this deathly aura, and drawing Profound Yin Qi from it to nourish itself.

Other living beings feared this aura of death, but this Stubborn Stone was not afraid at all. The principles of life and death among all things are so wondrous and infinite.

Wu Chu thought to himself, "This stone must be the future Stone Spirit Empress!"

However, given his current seniority, this Stone Spirit Empress will have to address him as "senior" in the future. Tsk tsk, my damned seniority!

As Wu Chu sighed, he placed the Black Coffin into the Black Coffin White Bone Cave and set up an array next to it to gather the death energy from Myriad Crows Mountain towards it.

The formation is a simple Seven-Star Spirit-Gathering Formation composed of seven array flags. However, because the array restrictions are outlined with death energy, what is condensed is not spiritual energy, but death energy.

This demonstrates the flexible application of array formations and restrictions.

The young lady Houtu, naturally unaware of Wu Chu's inner thoughts, was also observing the large rock.

Once the formation was complete, the Black Coffin began to devour the death energy, and the Profound Yin Qi mixed within it was also absorbed.

Seeing this, Wu Chu thought for a moment, then deactivated the formation, moved the Black Coffin to the side of the Stubborn Stone, and then rearranged the Seven-Star Spirit-Gathering Formation.

In this way, the surrounding death energy and Profound Yin Qi will be gathered together. The Stubborn Stone absorbs the Profound Yin Qi from the death energy, while the Black Coffin devours the death energy.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Chu took out another stone from his sleeve, placed it on top of the Stubborn Stone, and then patted the Nine-Aperture Stone, saying, "You can borrow this Moonstone for now. It contains a trace of the Lunar Yin Origin. If you can comprehend it, it will definitely be of great help to you."

Houtu seeing this, Houtu said, "By placing this Moonstone here, she will likely absorb all the Moonlight Moonstone it. This will benefit her, but it will be a loss for you."

Wu Chu laughed and said, "That's fine too. Consider it a small compensation for borrowing her cave! If it achieves some success in the future, it won't be in vain that we helped it."

Houtu smiled upon hearing this and said no more.

While Wu Chu and Houtu were placing the Black Coffin at Myriad Crows Mountain, Purple Jade Mountain welcomed two long-lost old friends of Wu Chu: Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.

After Little Moon Spirit directed the Sacred Tree to open the Purple Jade Mountain formation and welcome the two best friends into Purple Jade Mountain, Hong Yun laughed and said, "Oh! It's been tens of thousands of years since we last met. Little Moon Spirit and Xiao Yu have grown so much! They're both young ladies now... By the way, where is Fellow Daoist?"

"Yueling (Xiao Yu) greets the two seniors! Please come in."

After inviting the two into the Mountain Protection Array Purple Jade Mountain, Little Moon Spirit said, "Brother A Chu and Sister Houtu have gone out, but they should be back soon."

"Going out? You're not going on a long trip, are you?!"

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but become curious. Zhen Yuanzi even laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, didn't you call yourself a recluse Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves? Why have you come out this time?"

"And who exactly is that Sister Houtu?" Hong Yun's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something interesting, and she asked with great interest.

Little Moon Spirit smiled and said, "The place they're going to isn't far. With Xiao Yu's and my cultivation levels, it would only take a year to fly there. With Brother A Chu and Sister Houtu's cultivation levels, it would probably only take two or three months! If Sister Houtu were to take Brother A Chu with her, it would probably be even faster."

"It seems that you, Sister Houtu, are quite powerful!"

Little Moon Spirit nodded and said, "She is very powerful! However, I cannot tell you two seniors her identity. I will explain it to you after my sister returns. Please forgive me! To express my apology, may I cook something delicious for you two?"

Hong Yun nodded and said, "Well, since you treat us like outsiders, Little Moon Spirit, I have to eat more..." Hong Yun had originally been keeping a straight face, wanting to tease Little Moon Spirit, but seeing Little Moon Spirit's embarrassed expression, he couldn't hold back anymore and laughed loudly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Look how scared you are. We'll just wait here for them to come back. Do you have any good wine?"

"Yes, there is!" Little Moon Spirit said, calling out to the sky, "Senior Sacred Tree, please take us back to the Daoist Temple, thank you!"

As Little Moon Spirit shouted, purple patterns surged on the surface of the Mountain Protection Array, and then a purple light enveloped them, instantly teleporting them to the Summit of the Sacred Tree.

Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, all the flower fairies swooped down from the treetops to greet them, saying, "The Flower Fairy Clan greets you two seniors!"

Hong Yun glanced at the Little Flower Fairies and laughed, "Not bad, not bad, the number is almost two thousand. It seems your clan is developing quite well!"

But Zhen Yuanzi, standing to the side, exclaimed "Eh!" and looked at Hua Feier and the other Little Flower Fairies whose cultivation was quite good, asking, "Little Flower Fairies, would you mind if I sensed your cultivation level?"

Hua Feier shook her head and smiled, "I don't mind at all! Please, senior, do as you please!"

Hong Yun was surprised by Zhen Yuanzi's words, and then they silently sensed the cultivation levels within the Little Flower Fairies.

A moment later, the two opened their eyes, looked at each other, and then looked at Little Moon Spirit. "Has their cultivation method changed? You should know about this, right? Can you tell me?"

Little Moon Spirit nodded and said, "This is a cultivation method created for them by Brother A Chu, another senior, who is the ancestor of Qingqiu, Xiao Yu, and Sister Houtu. Brother A Chu said it's called the Golden Core Dao..."

"The Golden Core Dao? So that's how it is!"

The two finally understood why they had received a sum of Merit for no apparent reason when they were in the Western Land; the reason was now clear.
