Return to Chu Kingdom [Third Update]

"If you hadn't had the support of your elders, and if you hadn't possessed any treasures to protect you, I would have already ambushed you back then, and the Nascent Soul treasure would rightfully belong to me."

"I only regret that I wasn't born into Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, otherwise, in what way am I inferior to you..."

Chen Xianyan remained silent, calmly watching the woman she once considered a friend, her eyes unusually undisturbed.

When Gu Qingshu had finished talking, Chen Xianyan finally spoke up, saying, "I have to thank you for showing me the wickedness of human nature."

"Besides..."

She paused, then said, "I wasn't born into a top-tier immortal clan. When I was young, there were only one or two Foundation Establishment in my clan. I embarked on the path of cultivation by clinging to broken Spirit Stone."

"Impossible!"

Gu Qingshu screamed in alarm, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "You must have been born into a top-tier immortal clan and lived a life of luxury since childhood, otherwise where would you get such a privileged background?"

Go in peace.

Chen Xianyan didn't bother to answer anymore. With a clang, she slashed out with her sword, killing Gu Qingshu on the ground.

After killing Gu Qingshu, the three of them went to the Gu Clan Spirit Island, looted all the treasures on the island, and then wiped out the direct descendants of the Gu Clan cultivators. Only after this had largely eliminated any future troubles did they breathe a sigh of relief.

The Gu Immortal Clan is considered to be at the bottom among the Golden Core Immortal Clan. Apart from a Tier 4 Spirit Vein, they have almost no truly precious treasures.

The Vast Sea is very far from the Chu Kingdom, so this Tier 4 Spirit Vein is obviously impossible to protect, and it would be impossible to sell it.

Knowing full well that they were leaving, the cultivators of the Vast Sea weren't fools; they wouldn't just throw out a large sum of Spirit Stone to buy this Tier 4 Spirit Vein for nothing.

Chen Nianzhi sighed and said regretfully, "We have no choice but to give up this Spirit Vein."

"Letting other immortal clans obtain this Spirit Vein will save us the trouble of settling the Gu Clan mortals."

Jiang Linglong nodded in agreement. It was foreseeable that without the Golden Core realm Gu Immortal Clan would inevitably be divided up by other immortal clans.

After dealing with the Gu Clan, they did not linger in the Vast Sea.

The three piloted their treasure ship northwards into the Vast Sea, traversing millions of miles of mountains and rivers until they reached the edge of the Vast Sea and arrived before a vast mountain range.

The mountain range before us lies at the edge of the world, its endless expanse filled with Magnetism Aurora and magnetic power.

Chen Nianzhi looked at the map for a moment, then frowned and said, "This is the Yin-Yang Magnetism Mountains."

"Yin-Yang Magnetism Mountains?"

Jiang Linglong's pupils twitched slightly, revealing a hint of seriousness.

This Yin-Yang Magnetism Mountains is a unique place among the Vast Expanse Hundred Continents. This mountain range stretches for millions of miles, and its underground is full of magnetic mineral soil. Combined with its special terrain, it has finally formed the unique Yin-Yang Magnetism Mountains.

This mountain range is filled with the power of Yin-Yang Magnetism, and it is said that even Law Treasure can only travel a thousand miles, while Spirit Treasure cannot cross the mountain.

It means that magical Law Treasure and immortal swords with the element of metal can usually not fly more than a thousand miles, and even the Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure find it difficult to traverse vast distances.

Although this description is exaggerated, it still reveals the terrifying nature of the Yuanci Mountain Range.

Anyone who tries to fly on a sword here will likely be sucked away by the Yuan Magnetic Mountains before they can travel more than a thousand miles. In the end, they can only watch in regret as their sword disappears into the Yuan Magnetic Mountains.

Moreover, flying on a sword here would consume a hundred times more Law Power, making it extremely difficult to cross.

"To the left is the territory of the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor, and to the right is the Heaven's Spine Mountains. We still can't get around the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Range."

Chen Nianzhi spoke, putting away all the Flying Sword Magic Treasure: "Since we can't activate the Flying Sword Magic Treasure, let's use our escape techniques to fly there."

"That's the only way."

The three put away their Swordsmanship, and flew out of the Yuan Magnetic Mountains in a burst of light.

The journey went smoothly without any unexpected events. After flying for more than three months, they finally crossed the Yuanci Mountain Range. When they passed through the Yuanci Mountain Range, Chen Nianzhi looked back for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Linglong asked.

Chen Nianzhi's expression remained calm. "I observe that this magnetic energy is surging endlessly; perhaps it can be refined into an astonishing treasure."

"The magnetic power here is truly extraordinary; perhaps we can really refine a Higher Vehicle Magnetism Spirit Treasure." Jiang Linglong nodded, believing that this Magnetic Mountain Range was a treasure-refining ground bestowed by heaven.

"Unfortunately, even with our strength, we are still unable to make use of it."

Chen Nianzhi shook his head, summoned the Azure Sun Treasure Ark, and flew towards the Chu Kingdom with the three of them.

After crossing the Yuanci Mountains, the group entered the Demon Race realm. However, this realm was located on the edge of the Demon Race realm, and there were no Nascent Soul Demon Emperors nearby, so they were relatively safe.

After flying for millions of miles, they finally entered the territory of the Ji Continent Ji Continent, where their safety had greatly increased.

After flying for more than a month, the group finally returned to their Lineage.

Upon returning to her Lineage, Chen Nianzhi immediately went to Peaceful Sun City and found the Old Clan Leader.

"You're back."

"Was the trip successful?"

In a courtyard in Peaceful Sun City, the grandfather and grandson sat down for a long talk, recounting their experiences over the past thirty years.

Chen Changxuan listened with a mixture of longing and amazement, saying, "Your experiences over the years have greatly benefited your future cultivation."

"I'm sure Xian Yan will grow a lot from this experience."

"Yes, you can tell she's changed a lot."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. Chen Xianyan was gentle yet resilient. Because she had not experienced the ugliness of the world before, she lacked a good grasp of human nature.

After this incident, Chen Xianyan's methods will definitely become more decisive, and she will not be as indecisive as before.

Suppressing the thought, Chen Nianzhi smiled and asked, "How has the Lineage been doing these past few years?"

"Many people in the Lineage have attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm over the years. A few years ago, Xian Ling attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm for the second time, but he still failed."

"Your Aunt Qingwan failed her first attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm, even after using a Golden-Core Formation Pill."

The Old Clan Leader shook his head helplessly. Chen Xianling was actually quite talented, but breaking through to the Golden Core realm often required the right timing, location, and people. It was only natural that he would fail to break through if he was not careful.

Chen Xianling failed to break through twice using the Golden-Core Formation Pill. Even if he succeeds in breaking through next time, he will have to pay off his debts for many years to come.

Without mentioning Chen Xianling again, the Old Granduncle continued, "Your Qingwan has a gentle and weak personality, and her foundation is somewhat lacking. I think even if she uses multiple Golden-Core Formation Pill, her chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm are probably slim."

Chen Nianzhi understood that the Old Clan Leader meant whether or not to reserve the resources for those who needed them more.

Currently, there are over forty cultivators in the Lineage who have reached the Purple Mansion level. Many of them are talented individuals who Self-Foundation Establishment, and some have even broken through to the Purple Mansion level on their own. These individuals also need to Golden-Core Formation Pill.
