Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 13 Transition to Cultivation

A few days later, Chen Liang successfully crafted a set of Reversed Five Elements Formation.

This formation can interfere with the consciousness of Core Formation cultivators, causing them to fall into a chaotic illusion filled with both truth and falsehood, attacking indiscriminately until they are exhausted and die. Among advanced formations, it is quite a good one.

With this, Chen Liang's mastery of formations firmly established him in the realm of formation masters, allowing him to focus his energy on cultivation.

Compared to the Lesser Hunyuan Gong, the Hunyuan Zhenjing is much more complex. Moreover, the first step in practicing this technique is to unify the Yin and Yang of the spiritual energy within the body, thereby further advancing the essence of Hunyuan spiritual energy.

This process is quite time-consuming, but if successful, Chen Liang will face no further bottlenecks before reaching the Core Formation stage.

Therefore, Chen Liang believed it was worthwhile to spend some time completing this step ahead of schedule. It was much better than Han Li spending sixty years cultivating the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique" to break through the bottleneck of the Core Formation stage.

On the other hand, Chen Liang's creation of the "Hun Yuan Zhen Jing" requires a lot of energy from heaven and earth in order to achieve a rich and profound true essence and to take into account the effect of body refinement. Therefore, Chen Liang's cultivation is very dependent on an environment with abundant energy from heaven and earth.

The Spirit Eye Spring, a spiritual object born from spiritual veins, contains extremely abundant spiritual energy. It can even be extracted and moved, making it a mobile source of spiritual energy. It is something that even Core Formation cultivators would fight over if they knew about it.

With it around, Chen Liang didn't lack the energy of heaven and earth needed for his cultivation.

However, on the path of cultivation, if one wants to reach the maximum cultivation speed that one can bear, in addition to sufficient energy from heaven and earth, the aid of elixirs is indispensable.

However, the formulas for Foundation Establishment stage pills are quite difficult to collect. Without the formulas, even with his superb alchemy skills, Chen Liang would not be able to refine the pills he needed.

At this point, the advanced Five Elements Reversal Formation came into play.

Soon, Chen Liang used the Reversed Five Elements Formation to exchange for several Foundation Establishment stage pill formulas from Lei Wanhe, solving his immediate problem.

Lei Wanhe was quite satisfied with the deal, after all, the Reversed Five Elements Formation, as a famous minor forbidden formation, was a considerable trump card for Core Formation cultivators.

Having solved the problem of the pill formula, Chen Liang then traveled back and forth between the Huangfeng Valley Market and the Tianxing Sect Market to collect the spiritual herbs he needed.

Only after refining enough pills did Chen Liang enter seclusion to focus all his efforts on cultivating the "Primordial Chaos Scripture".

Meanwhile, Han Li was wreaking havoc in the Crimson Forbidden Land, earning a formidable reputation.

Afterwards, Han Li joined forces with Nangong Wan to successfully kill the level two Ink Dragon, and finally left the Crimson Forbidden Land with a full harvest.

Two years after the events in the Crimson Forbidden Land, Han Li successfully established his Foundation. Meanwhile, Mo Caihuan, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, established her Foundation even earlier, having narrowly secured her position as his senior sister.

After both of them reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they visited Chen Liang one after the other. However, these visits were actually Mo Caihuan's way of asking for a Foundation Establishment congratulatory gift, while Han Li wanted to purchase two sets of formations from Chen Liang.

Chen Liang gifted Mo Caihuan a set of the Fire Separation Array. With this top-grade intermediate array, Mo Caihuan could easily deal with five cultivators of the same level at the same time.

It's worth mentioning that after Mo Caihuan achieved Foundation Establishment, Linghu Laoguai naturally took her in as a disciple and gave her many magical artifacts and pills. So, Mo Caihuan was now quite a wealthy young woman and a little princess.

As for Han Li, he was incredibly wealthy, so Chen Liang didn't stand on ceremony with him and sold him a Xuanwu Formation and a Li Huo Formation at market price.

Han Li not only readily paid the bill with spirit stones and spirit herbs, but after learning that Chen Liang had formulas for Foundation Establishment stage pills, he also spent several spirit herbs over five hundred years old to copy those formulas.

Not long after, Chen Liang, Mo Caihuan, Mo Yuzhu, Mo Fengwu, Han Li, Zhong Lingdao, and another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator left Huangfeng Valley together and headed towards Lanzhou.

On this trip, Mo Caihuan, Mo Yuzhu, and Mo Fengwu were not only returning home to visit their relatives, but also to bring Mo Juren and the others to live in Huangfeng Valley.

After all, Lanzhou is the territory of Spirit Beast Mountain, and it is really inappropriate for Mo Juren and the others, as relatives of Mo Caihuan, a cultivator with the Heavenly Spirit Root from Yellow Maple Valley, to continue staying in Lanzhou.

For this reason, Linghu Laoguai also gave Mo Caihuan a small spiritual vein belonging to the Taiyue Mountains as the new ancestral home of the Mo family.

Han Li naturally had the same goal, while Zhong Lingdao wanted to meet Mo Juren. Chen Liang and the late Foundation Establishment cultivator were just there as guards.

The group traveled in a small flying boat provided by Zhong Lingdao and arrived in Jiayuan City in a few days.

After Mo Caihuan and the other two women returned to the Mo residence, they were quickly pulled aside by the four excited ladies of the Mo family for a chat.

Zhong Lingdao and Mo Juren were having a very pleasant conversation, and they seemed to have hit it off immediately. Chen Liang and the late Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't get a word in edgewise, but Chen Liang always felt that Zhong Lingdao was being led by the nose by Mo Juren.

As for Han Li, he paid his respects to Mo Juren and then left the Mo residence for the Seven Mysteries Sect.

The group stayed in Lanzhou for a few days. During this time, Mo Juren officially put his eldest disciple in charge of the Jingjiao Society, and also entrusted him with the care of the Mo family mansion and the small spiritual vein outside the city.

Meanwhile, Mo Juren and his four wives, along with the spirit stones mined from the small spiritual vein outside the city and some belongings, prepared to follow Chen Liang and the others to the Huangfeng Valley.

Han Li soon arrived with his sister and Zhang Tie to join the others. However, judging from his somewhat conflicted expression, he clearly already knew about Han Xiaomei and Zhang Tie's relationship, and that Han Xiaomei and Zhang Tie had even consummated their relationship.

As for Han Li's parents, they were old and did not want to leave their hometown, so Han Li entrusted them to his good brother, Li Feiyu, for care.

Li Feiyu is now the head of the Seven Mysteries Sect and has a son with Zhang Xiuer, the current head of the Seven Absolutes Hall. Taking care of Han Li's parents is just a side job for her.

And so, Mo Juren, Han Xiaomei, Zhang Tie, and the others were taken to Huangfeng Valley by Chen Liang and his group and settled there again, while Chen Liang also went back into seclusion.

Four years after the Blood Forbidden Land, Chen Liang had just finished cultivating the "Primordial Chaos Scripture," and the Yin and Yang spiritual energies within his body had merged into one. His cultivation level also broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. A communication talisman flew in from outside his cave.

"Chen Liang, my time is drawing near. Before I depart, I have some matters I wish to entrust to you. Would you be so kind as to come and discuss them?"

Hearing Xin Xuji's familiar voice, Chen Liang fell silent.

Yes, even if one embarks on the path of cultivation, a cultivator will eventually reach the end of their lifespan until they reach the Refinement Realm.

When Chen Liang last saw Xin Xuji, he sensed that Xin Xuji didn't have much time left. Now, that day has finally come.

Chen Liang, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Spirit Eye Spring, stood up. Not far away, there was a simple grass nest, and Xiao Wu, who had been sitting quietly, also opened his eyes.

Under Chen Liang's care, this little creature, surrounded by colorful light, has successfully advanced to a level two demon beast.

Despite its current shrunken size, if it were to reveal its true form, Xiao Wu would already be taller than Chen Liang.

But at this moment, after stretching his body, Xiao Wu still habitually jumped onto Chen Liang's shoulder.

Chen Liang put some of his personal belongings into his storage bag and quickly left the cave, steering his small flying boat towards the Tianxing Sect market.

On the way, Chen Liang was already in a bad mood, and then someone else came to make things worse.

In the distance, a figure with a bluish-purple face and severely injured body was rapidly approaching Chen Liang's flying boat, and its shouts could be heard from afar.

"Junior Brother Chen, save me!"

The figure, however, had a different thought in mind: "Great! There's always a way out. As long as this guy surnamed Chen holds off the pursuers behind me, I can escape."

"Damn it, you traitors! You'll all pay for this!"

Chen Liang quickly recognized the newcomer; it was the former young master of the Thousand Bamboo Sect, now a Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Lin from Yellow Maple Valley. Chen Liang had met him once before, and according to seniority, he should address him as "Senior Brother Lin."

Speaking of which, this Senior Brother Lin was really unlucky. Back then, an internal strife broke out in the Thousand Bamboo Sect, forcing him, the once glorious young master of the Thousand Bamboo Sect, to leave his hometown and come to the Yue Kingdom.

After joining Huangfeng Valley, he has been diligently cultivating and is now at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

But recently, Lin's former followers from the Thousand Bamboo Sect contacted him by auctioning off a special puppet, igniting a longing buried deep in Lin's heart.

He longed to reclaim the Thousand Bamboo Sect and everything he had lost.

But what this Senior Brother Lin didn't know was that his former subordinates had already betrayed him. So when the two sides met, the people from the Thousand Bamboo Sect not only poisoned Senior Brother Lin, but also severely injured him.

Therefore, the scene where Senior Brother Lin wanted Chen Liang to be a scapegoat and stop the people from the Thousand Bamboo Sect came was created.

In response, Chen Liang silently took out the incomplete jade ruler magic weapon and activated it with all his might.

When Chen Liang's mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation aura and the rapidly enlarging appearance of the Jade Ruler magic weapon were presented to Senior Brother Lin, he was both surprised and delighted.

"Mid-Foundation Establishment?! I remember that Chen, with his fake spiritual root aptitude, only spent a little over four years in Foundation Establishment. How did he advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?"

This cultivation speed must have already surpassed that of cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots! Could it be... that self-created cultivation technique?! That's it! It must be.

This is truly an incredible, heaven-defying cultivation technique, and he even possesses a damaged magical artifact! There's hope now. Wait...

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Lin suddenly had a thought and looked at Chen Liang with a strange gaze.

"A cultivation speed surpassing that of a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator, a heaven-defying technique, plus a flawed magic treasure. If I were to possess him, wouldn't I ascend to the heavens in one step?!"

My body is ruined, and I'm just missing a body. Besides, this Chen fellow will have suffered significant spiritual energy depletion after his battle with those traitors behind him; then all I need to do is...

Just as Senior Brother Lin was deep in thought and calculating, Chen Liang had already unleashed the Jade Ruler magic weapon at him.

Senior Brother Lin was already close to the flying boat and was severely injured, so he couldn't react in time and was killed by Chen Liang in one blow.

If Chen Liang hadn't controlled his strength so that his storage bag could have survived, this attack would have been enough to obliterate Senior Brother Lin.

After eliminating this eyesore, Chen Liang finally spoke: "You, surnamed Lin, do you think you can hide your schemes from me? Since you started this, don't blame me for doing the opposite."

Then Chen Liang glanced at the distance with murderous intent before taking Lin Shixiong's storage bag and remnant soul, and then burned his corpse.

Only after Chen Liang finished cleaning up and steered the flying boat away into the distance did the three members of the Thousand Bamboo Sect who were chasing Senior Brother Lin dare to approach.

The three of them glanced at Chen Liang as he walked away and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
