Jade Spirit Eyes
Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's gaze turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in her heart.
Having cultivated all the way to this point, even the Purple Mansion Ancestor had to treat him as an equal. This was the first time he had ever seen someone dare to threaten him like this.
Looking across the various kingdoms of the Ji Continent, cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm are high-level combatants wherever they go, and even Golden Core Immortal Clan have to give them some respect.
Although Deng Yuanwu had the backing of the Golden Core Immortal Clan, he ultimately failed to break through to the Purple Mansion. If he offended Purple Mansion Ancestor who was not afraid of trouble, he could be killed without hesitation.
With his Purple Mansion cultivation level, finding a backer who wasn't afraid of the Deng Clan wouldn't be difficult; at worst, he could just stay away from the Yan Kingdom.
Chen Nianzhi, coming from outside the Yan Kingdom, was, in a sense, someone who wasn't afraid of trouble.
Deng Yuanwu's arrogant threats to Chen Nianzhi ultimately stemmed from overconfidence; he had grown up in a greenhouse and lacked the harsh realities of society.
Thinking that the other party was from the Deng Immortal Clan, Chen Nianzhi ultimately suppressed her murderous intent.
I advise you not to make a mistake for yourself.
Not wanting to exchange anything, he turned and walked back with Ya Ya.
Deng Yuanwu's face turned ashen, and he was about to make a move with an icy expression, but he was stopped by a Deng Clan cultivator beside him.
"Brother Yuan Wu, this is Thousand Stars Island."
"This is the territory of the Yan Kingdom Immortal Clan Alliance. If we take action, we're unlikely to gain anything."
Deng Yuanwu's expression changed repeatedly. The Yan Kingdom Immortal Clan Alliance was composed of two Golden Core Immortal Clan and more than twenty Purple Mansion Immortal Clan. Although this force was relatively loose, it was still three times stronger than the Deng Clan.
If they were to make a move in the Marketplace of Thousand Stars Island, the Immortal Alliance probably wouldn't give them any face.
The Deng Clan cultivator looked puzzled, but he understood that although Deng Yuanwu was domineering, he wouldn't offend people without reason, so he asked again.
"Did you see something?"
"That girl has an Ice Spirit Root."
Deng Yuanwu suppressed his urge to act and spoke with a solemn expression.
He cultivated a rare Divine Ability called ' Jade Spirit Eyes '. This Divine Ability is an auxiliary Divine Ability, once mastered, can observe a cultivator's Root Bone talent and aptitude.
Moreover, it can see through illusions, formations, and the true nature of an opponent's Divine Ability abilities. During combat, it allows cultivators to more clearly see the opponent's strength, making it easier to seize the best opportunity to strike and achieve a decisive victory.
Pupil techniques Divine Ability extremely rare. Apart from Heavenly Ruins Mountain, which is backed by Jiang Linglong Golden Core realm, no other sect in the entire Chu Kingdom has a similar inheritance. Chen Nianzhi never expected to encounter one so coincidentally.
Deng Yuanwu had just seen Ya Ya and immediately saw through Ya Ya Spirit Root, which aroused his evil thoughts.
"A virgin with Ice Spirit Root, if we could capture her and make her cultivate the furnace Cultivation Method..."
"Then, if I were to use her cultivation technique when she reaches the Purple Mansion Late Stage, it might increase my chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm realm by one or two percent."
Deng Yuanwu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his gaze clouded with gloom, and said, "This concerns the fortuitous opportunity to attain enlightenment; I absolutely cannot give up on that girl."
"Ice Spirit Root."
The Deng Clan cultivator frowned slightly, but nodded nonetheless.
However, after a moment's hesitation, he still advised, "This person recently exchanged a third-tier Law Treasure for Ren-Water Crystal, so he probably has some background."
"Moreover, judging from that person's sharp and extraordinary aura, he is probably not an easy opponent. You may not be able to kill him."
"No matter who he is, anyone who blocks my way must die."
Deng Yuanwu said coldly, his arrogant and domineering personality even showing a hint of ferocity on his face.
Judging from Chen Nianzhi's aura, she was clearly a top expert in the Foundation Establishment stage. Under normal circumstances, he might not have offended her so easily, but fortuitous opportunity were too important in cultivation.
Cultivation requires various resources, so it's impossible to progress peacefully. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, who doesn't have a few enemies?
Hatred is not formed without cause; ultimately, it's all about vying for fortuitous opportunity and seeking the possibility of promotion.
Some people are simply insane, practicing Evil Dao like cultivation and sexual exploitation, or even directly entering the Demonic Path, while others are better able to uphold their humanity and moral bottom line.
With the backing of the Golden Core Immortal Clan, Deng Yuanwu has been practicing the Essence-Draining Technique for many years, clearly having strayed into the Evil Dao.
Evil Dao Cultivation Method often allow negative energy to invade a cultivator's consciousness, subtly influencing their personality.
They are often stubborn and arrogant, and act arbitrarily, making them too easy to offend people.
This is the price of taking shortcuts in cultivation. If one does not have a sufficient background to practice the Essence-Draining Technique, one will most likely be killed by righteous cultivators as a Devil Cultivator cultivator if one offends someone one should not.
This is also the fundamental reason why, despite their rapid progress in cultivation, Devil Cultivator and those of the evil Evil Dao are always looked down upon by righteous cultivators. They almost always lose their way on the path of cultivation, unable to overcome their own karmic obstacles, and thus cannot be considered righteous.
Throughout the history recorded in the annals of the Purple Yin Realm, those who were able to overcome their own demonic obstacles, ultimately comprehend their own Dao, and ascend to become Demon God gods number no more than two palms' worth.
Most of those Demon God, numbering in the palm of your hand, were once renowned Dao Lord, but fell into darkness due to their obsessions that turned them into demons.
Deng Yuanwu possessed Three Element Spiritual Root, but his aptitude wasn't considered particularly good. In order to cultivate, he spent many years absorbing the essence of female cultivators, using them as his cultivation vessels.
Unbeknownst to him, his temperament was also influenced by the resentment contained in the female cultivator's essence, making him increasingly paranoid and arrogant, already approaching the realm of Demonic Path.
At this moment, Deng Yuanwu was blinded by greed and evil thoughts, and no one could persuade him otherwise.
"I will definitely take that girl. My cousin's methods of pursuit Bu Fan, so please lend me a hand."
"Sigh." Seeing that he couldn't persuade Deng Yuanwu, the cousin of the Deng Clan shook his head and said, "Give me a few days to investigate his identity first."
"..."
Chen Nianzhi returned to her cave dwelling, and only two days later, she discovered that Wei Xuyuan had already emerged from seclusion.
At this moment, Wei Xuyuan stood in front of his cave dwelling, looking extremely emaciated, his long hair turned snow-white, and he looked much older than he had three months ago.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Nianzhi's heart sank, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother Wei..."
"Well."
Wei Xuyuan shook his head, his face full of sorrow.
He described how he had unknowingly become much more hunched over, like an old man on the verge of death.
"This attempt to break through to the Purple Mansion has ultimately failed."
Wei Xuyuan was filled with regret. This time, he had given his all to break through to the Purple Mansion, even burning his Natal Essence Blood at the last moment to break through ninety percent of the Purple Mansion Heavenly Vein in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, he was just a step too late. The final journey was like an insurmountable chasm. He was already 180 years old, and his Qi and Blood had begun to deplete.
If he were ten years younger, and he had burned his Essence Blood to make that gamble, he might have already broken through the threshold of the Purple Mansion.
But now his breakthrough has failed, and even his Natal Essence Blood has been significantly damaged. His lifespan will probably be reduced by four or five years. This price is too heavy.
