After realizing that his plan could not be realized for the time being, Su Mu thought for a moment and decided to first comprehend the Dao Scripture and open the Dao Lotus.
With that in mind, Su Mu rented a cave abode and began to devote himself to seclusion.
If one can take this opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, that would be a good thing.
Cultivation doesn't make one feel the passage of time much.
While Su Mu was engrossed in his secluded cultivation, time flew by.
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Su Mu arrived at the entrance of the cave abode and with a simple wave of his hand, the array in front of the cave abode closed.
Su Mu's figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, Su Mu arrived in the city.
"You've come."
Su Mu arrived at the agreed location and immediately spotted the person looking for him.
Mi Hongling.
While Su Mu was in seclusion, he received a voice message from the other party, so he came to keep the appointment.
Mi Hongling, dressed in red, sat by the railing.
A slight blush appeared on her pretty face, as if she had been drinking.
Su Mu sniffed carefully; the scent seemed familiar, like safflower wine.
This wine seems to be able to withstand only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators; lower-level cultivators would easily explode and die if they drank it.
Thinking of this, Su Mu's gaze towards Mi Hongling suddenly held a hint of surprise.
Is this guy's cultivation level really that high?
After careful observation, it became clear that the other party had not yet advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"I am coming."
Su Mu nodded and sat down in front of the other person.
"Huh? You've actually reached the Late Core Formation?"
Mi Hongling glanced at Su Mu again, and was quite surprised after realizing Su Mu's cultivation level.
She never expected that Su Mu's cultivation would progress so quickly.
Strange, it seems their Cultivation Method comes at the cost of the Buddhist Sect Fortune, right? But I haven't heard of them causing trouble for the Buddhist Sect lately.
Could it be that some reclusive Buddhist Sect was discovered by the other party, and their Buddhist Fortune were stolen?
Mi Hongling found it a little strange, but it was the other party's cultivation secret and she couldn't pry into it.
What brings you here?
Su Mu didn't explain, but instead asked why the other person had come to find him.
Seeing this, Mi Hongling's expression turned slightly serious. "It's for a very important matter."
Su Mu remained noncommittal; what important matter could the other party possibly want from him?
Even major events within the Demonic Sect don't have much to do with him.
"In High Antiquity times, our Demonic Sect had many ancestors. At that time, we were constantly fighting with the Buddhist Sect Daoist Sect. One of our ancestors was caught off guard and was surrounded and attacked by the opposing experts."
Later, news of him disappeared. At that time, the ancestor's physical body had reached invincibility, so it was absolutely impossible for him to perish. Moreover, the ancestor's primordial spirit lamp had not dissipated.
This means that the ancestor did not perish; it was only recently discovered that he was trapped by the other party and is now being worn down under the Great Buddha.
The sect leader decided to rescue the patriarch.
Su Mu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. The patriarch of the Demonic Dao? Invincible in physical body?
Is it really that powerful?
"How long was that ancestor sealed away?"
Su Mu asked intently, "If such a guy were released, wouldn't it be a disaster for the Youtian Realm? We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
"It's been over ten thousand years."
Mi Hongling thought for a moment, then answered.
Tens of thousands of years? Su Mu's lips twitched.
Such an old monster, still alive? Impossible!
"Is the ancestor really still alive?" Su Mu had some doubts. Even if his cultivation was high, the other party's lifespan was probably nearing its end.
Furthermore, the constant attrition of his physical body by others will undoubtedly hasten his demise.
"It's highly likely that his primordial spirit has dissipated, but even so, our ancestor's physical body is a treasure of our Demonic Sect. If we can retrieve his body, then he will be a powerful being in the world."
Mi Hongling said with unwavering determination.
Su Mu suddenly understood; it seemed the other party had also guessed that this ancestor had perished.
Therefore, their target is the other's physical body, a physical body that has reached invincibility, which is indeed incredibly tempting.
Su Mu understood immediately. If the other party got their hands on such a body, they could easily refine it into a master.
Moreover, he was a fearless and highly skilled fighter.
Think about it carefully: if you can't kill this thing, and it keeps fighting you desperately, how powerful is such a puppet?
Upon careful consideration, Su Mu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Act in time? Where is the physical body then?"
Su Mu asked.
Mi Hongling glanced at Su Mu, "I will inform you when the operation takes place. In the meantime, you should not go into seclusion. Also, the location of your physical body cannot be revealed yet. This matter must be kept secret and must not be discussed with outsiders."
Even if Su Mu doesn't seem to have any problems.
Moreover, she had repeatedly disrupted the Buddhist Sect's Fortune in the past, but she still kept it a secret.
If it weren't for Su Mu's previous actions of breaking the Buddhist Sect's Fortune and killing many Daoist Sect figures...
She wouldn't reveal even a hint of this information to Su Mu beforehand.
Su Mu knew the other party was keeping it a secret from her, so she wasn't surprised.
No matter what, he wasn't a disciple of the other sect.
"Understood."
At this point, Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this operation very dangerous? I don't want to do anything too risky."
"The sect leader will go and find out who the experts are in that area. The seniors will naturally deal with the experts. You can focus on dealing with the small fry."
If you succeed this time, you can also take the opportunity to absorb the Buddhist Sect's Fortune, which would be a good thing for you.
Destroying one of their temples would definitely disrupt their Fortune, and Su Mu could indeed take this opportunity to absorb their Fortune.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately perked up.
Although the Golden Lotus could help him cultivate, Su Mu would be more than willing to absorb the Buddhist Sect Fortune.
Moreover, this also serves to conceal the truth from others.
"I understand now."
After saying that, Su Mu stood up. "Just let me know the location later."
After saying this, Su Mu left the city and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from sight.
Mi Hongling didn't pursue Su Mu Su Mu; she still trusted him to some extent.
Su Mu flew away and returned to his cave abode several hours later.
Once he was sure no one was following him, Su Mu deactivated the array and took out Ye Weixiao's communication talisman.
Something big has happened.
Su Mu sent a telepathic message to the other party to see if Ye Weixiao was in seclusion.
To Su Mu's surprise, news of Ye Weixiao arrived very quickly.
"What important matter?"
Upon seeing that Ye Weixiao had replied to his message, Su Mu quickly perked up and recounted what had just happened.
He wanted to see if the other party had any way to stop it.
After all, if the other side actually succeeds, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Youtian Realm.
After listening to Su Mu's story, Ye Weixiao remained silent for a moment before quickly responding.
