A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 132 Returning to the Inland Sea

There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.

"A flying magic weapon?"

As soon as Tian Wuzi finished speaking, a square-faced cultivator's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had remembered something crucial. He quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Liu, do you remember a few months ago when we chased after that cultivator who wielded the Wind-Escape Shuttle? Back then on that deserted island, in the chaos, I sensed the aura of a demonic beast. In the end, that aura left the deserted island together with a human cultivator."

Since that demonic beast could travel with human cultivators, it was most likely their spirit beast. Furthermore, the residual lightning-attribute fluctuations on the deserted island were very similar to the attribute of the King Chan Xuan Turtle. I suspect… that early-stage Core Formation cultivator named Wang Chan was very likely the one who took away the Qingming True Person's inheritance from the deserted island!”

The square-faced cultivator laid out his guesses, and Liu Kun's expression changed drastically upon hearing them, the scene of his Wind Spirit Essence being stolen flashing through his mind.

The cultivator who stole the Wind Spirit Essence back then concealed his aura and acted swiftly. Now that I think about it, that person's skills are extremely similar to Wang Chan's, and it is very likely that they are the same person! Thinking of this, Liu Kun felt extremely regretful for not recognizing the other party's identity in advance.

"You mean, Wang Chan might still possess the legacy of True Immortal Qingming?"

Upon hearing the words "Qingming Zhenren," Tianwuzi's eyes narrowed instantly, and his aura grew increasingly cold.

He had long heard of the legacy of the Azure Nether Immortal. Back then, the Azure Nether Immortal was only at the late stage of Core Formation, yet he managed to self-destruct using his natal magic weapon, almost killing a Nascent Soul cultivator. This incident shocked the entire Inner Star Sea at the time, and many Nascent Soul cultivators searched everywhere for the legacy of the Azure Nether Immortal, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, he passed away in the Outer Sea. Now, his legacy has fallen into Wang Chan's hands.

"You must all keep silent about Wang Chan possessing the inheritance of the Azure Nether True Man. Do not let a word of it slip out," Tian Wuzi ordered in a deep voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority. "From today onwards, you will secretly search for that person's whereabouts. Once you find any trace of him, immediately arrange for your men to capture him."

Liu Kun and the others quickly bowed and agreed, but their hearts grew increasingly uneasy.

On the other side, Luo Ming spared no effort to deplete his own magical power and fully activated the Wind-Escape Shuttle, speeding all the way and arriving at his destination in only a fraction of the time it took to travel to Qiyuan Island.

At this moment, Qiyuan Island's Black Stone City is still a bustling scene, with cultivators' escape lights coming and going in the air, just as they were when he left.

Without pausing, Luo Ming prepared to fly towards the teleportation array in Blackrock City.

Upon arriving at the teleportation array, he first glanced around discreetly. Seeing no trace of Mingyue Pavilion cultivators and not sensing the presence of Liu Kun and the others, he finally felt relieved. He quickly walked to the cultivator next to the teleportation array and handed over the spirit stones needed for the teleportation.

After the administrator finished counting the spirit stones, he handed Luo Ming a teleportation talisman. Just as Luo Ming was standing on the array waiting to be teleported, a streak of azure light rushed over, revealing the figure of a thin old man.

"Huh! It's this person!" Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Luo Ming immediately thought of the Core Formation cultivator who had been teleported here with him.

The other party was visibly taken aback when they saw Luo Ming there, but quickly recovered and nodded slightly to Luo Ming as a greeting.

Seeing this, Luo Ming naturally wouldn't neglect a fellow cultivator of the same level, and nodded slightly to him.

At this moment, the teleportation array finally activated, and Luo Ming and the others disappeared from the array.

Just moments after Luo Ming left, two streaks of light arrived rapidly and landed directly beside the teleportation array. They were the two people who had been with Liu Kun before.

Upon seeing this, a Star Palace cultivator standing guard beside the teleportation array immediately bowed respectfully and asked, "May I ask what brings you two seniors here?"

This Star Palace steward disciple has been stationed here for many years and has seen many similar situations. A year ago, a Core Formation cultivator who used a disguise technique was about to leave when he was discovered by a Core Formation cultivator from Mingyue Pavilion who was lying in ambush here. That person immediately summoned a blue flying shuttle and escaped from Qiyuan Island. His whereabouts are still unknown.

He was used to Mingyuexuan's domineering behavior. After all, the Nascent Soul cultivator currently stationed here was the person behind Mingyuexuan. With that Nascent Soul ancestor backing him up, no one would dare to provoke him in the next twenty years.

"Just pretend nothing happened and focus on your own business," one of the black-robed cultivators said calmly, glancing at the other man.

Luo Ming was unaware that he had almost been cornered by the other party. If that had happened, it would have taken him a lot of time to return to the Inner Star Sea.

In fact, besides teleporting back to the Inner Star Sea, cultivators can also fly back directly. If they fly continuously at the speed of a Core Formation cultivator, it would take about five years.

A cultivator in the Core Formation stage can travel more than 10,000 miles in a day. From this, it can be deduced that the distance between this place and the edge of the Inner Star Sea has reached 20 million miles.

A cultivator in the Core Formation stage can travel more than 10,000 miles in a day. From this, it can be deduced that the distance between this place and the edge of the Inner Star Sea has reached 20 million miles.

And this is only a small part of the Chaotic Star Sea.

No cultivators would do this kind of thing, because flying in the outer sea would not only risk encountering many monsters, but more importantly, it would consume a lot of precious time.

The moment Luo Ming stepped into Tianxing City, he felt that the spiritual energy around him had become much richer. The air no longer had the strong salty smell of the outer sea; instead, there was a faint fragrance of spiritual energy, which instantly relaxed his tense nerves.

Looking at the familiar streets and buildings before him, and feeling the peace and prosperity of this city, Luo Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. Tianxing City was truly a peaceful place.

Back in his cave, Luo Ming rested for a while. Once he felt refreshed, he began to consider what to do next.

"The crafting of this magic weapon is unlike that of a magic artifact; the materials are rare. Let's practice with a magic artifact first."

Luo Ming carefully studied the crafting process of the magic weapon and found that its complexity was far greater than that of a non-magical artifact. If he had not already advanced to the Core Formation stage, some steps would have been impossible to complete.

Take the first step of refining Xuan Water as an example. If you use Foundation Establishment stage mana to slowly refine it, it would take decades to complete the required amount.

For many Core Formation cultivators, after advancing to Core Formation, they collect materials for magical artifacts while simultaneously learning the crafting process.

After all, once a cultivator advances to the Core Formation stage, their lifespan increases significantly, giving them ample time to dedicate to these matters. Furthermore, no cultivator would entrust the crafting of their natal magic weapon to someone else, so they still need to craft it themselves.

Just as Luo Ming was pondering how to quickly improve his weapon-refining skills, the restrictions outside the cave were triggered by a communication talisman.

"Brother Wang, you're finally back! If you have time, please come and visit my humble abode."

Hearing Jin Qing's words through the communication talisman, Luo Ming was both amused and exasperated. Jin Qing's information network was too advanced; he already knew about Luo Ming's return as soon as he arrived.

As expected of a top-tier family in Tianxing City, his information had been leaked without his knowledge, which made him somewhat wary. As a rogue cultivator, he seemed to be keeping a low profile, but in the eyes of those top powers, he was practically naked.

"This time on Qiyuan Island, Wang Chan's name has been exposed, and the information about his cave will probably be found out soon. Although no one dares to touch him, a Core Formation cultivator, in Tianxing City, he can't stay here forever without going out."

Should he find a powerful force to protect him? At this moment, Luo Ming had an impulse to join a force.
