Kill!"
In the next moment, the four figures shrouded in black rushed out, their four long swords thrusting in from all directions.
At the critical moment, the sisters Qing Shuang and Qing Zhi joined forces, firmly protecting Mu Yun in the center.
"Fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm!"
Someone nearby recognized the sisters' cultivation level and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Qing Zhi and Qing Shuang were not very old, yet they possessed the cultivation level of the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm, which was truly astonishing.
Such age and cultivation level definitely placed them among the top ten of the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Ranking.
The Earth Immortal Ranking, with the first level of the Spirit Cave Realm as its first level, the second level as its second level, and so on, with the top of each level being called the Dao Lord.
As for geniuses above the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm, they were listed on the Heavenly Immortal Ranking.
The Heavenly Immortal Ranking did not distinguish between realms, only between rankings.
After all, both the Heavenly Immortal Ranking and the Earth Immortal Ranking had age restrictions; those over twenty-five years old could not be listed.
In the entire Nan Yun City, those who could enter the Heavenly Immortal Ranking before the age of twenty-five were all outstanding geniuses.
At this moment, Mu Yun's name appeared prominently at the top of the Earth Immortal Ranking.
He had clearly become the Dao Lord of the First Dao Ranking.
However, this Dao Lord was currently being besieged by the warriors of the Gathering Immortals Pavilion.
Looking at the four people, Mu Yun calmly pondered.
Qing Zhi and Qing Shuang were at the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm, while the four were all at the sixth level.
However, these two were sent by Mu Qingyu after all, and their strength was indeed remarkable. Facing the siege of four people, the two were not at a disadvantage at all, but rather had the upper hand.
However, if this went on for too long, the higher-ups of the Gathering Immortals Pavilion would find out and send people, which would be troublesome.
"However, killing me is not so easy!"
Having made up his mind, wisps of lightning surged between Mu Yun's body. Looking at the four people, he prepared to strike casually.
"Stop!"
However, just as Mu Yun was about to make a move, a shout suddenly rang out.
The shout sounded full and round, with a slight hoarseness, but Mu Yun vaguely felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
"Master Mo!"
Hearing the shout, the four men in black stopped, bowed respectfully, and looked at the old man before them.
"Old Man Mo?"
No!
Turning around, Mu Yun shook his head as he looked at the person before him.
This person looked very much like Mo Wen, but he was not Master Mo.
"What are you doing?" Looking at the four men, the old man called Master Mo frowned.
"Master Mo, this person has violated the rules of the Gathering Immortals Pavilion by intentionally killing someone here. According to the rules, he should be executed."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the old man called Master Mo looked at Mu Yun, his face showing a complex expression. No one
had dared to violate the rules of the Gathering Immortals Pavilion
in recent years.
"What is your name?"
"Mu Yun!"
"Mu Yun?"
Hearing Mu Yun's answer, the old man was stunned for a moment, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He waved his hand at the four men and said, "You may leave now. I will handle this."
"Yes!"
Hearing the old man's words, the four men did not hesitate and immediately dispersed.
Staring blankly at the old man before him, Mu Yun had already roughly guessed who he was.
"Come with me!"
the old man said, looking at Mu Yun.
Watching the old man's departing figure, Qing Zhi and Qing Shuang originally intended to stop Mu Yun, but Mu Yun shook his head.
"Don't worry, you definitely won't die."
Following the old man's several turns, they arrived outside a room. The old man suddenly turned around, looked at Mu Yun, and said in a low voice, "You should know who I am now, right?"
"Master Mo Qingtian, the only seventh-grade alchemist in the Southern Cloud Empire!"
"It seems that brat Mo Wen has chatted with you quite a bit. If you hadn't helped him once, I would have killed you on the spot."
"Thank you, Master Mo!"
"No need to thank me. I didn't say I'd spare your life now." Mo Qingtian snorted. "Do you know that the Gathering Immortals Pavilion was founded by the Seven Sages Academy of the Empire? No one can violate the rules here. Those who violate the rules only have two fates."
"Oh? It seems there's another choice besides death."
"But this choice is more terrifying than death."
"Master Mo, please speak freely!"
"Enter the Immortal Connecting Cauldron inside the Gathering Immortals Pavilion. As long as you can survive for an hour, you will not die."
"No problem!"
Hearing Mu Yun agree so readily, Mo Qingtian was quite surprised.
"You didn't even ask what the Immortal-Connecting Cauldron is for?"
"Do I need to ask?" Mu Yun laughed. "Besides dying, I either enter the Immortal-Connecting Cauldron. With Master Mo's status, even if he wanted to kill me, that guy Mu Qingyu couldn't stop him. So, my only option is to enter the Immortal-Connecting Cauldron and endure for an hour."
"You've thought it through quite thoroughly, yet you still dare to kill someone!"
"I was forced!" "
So you were forced, huh? I hope you still have the strength to say that later."
After saying this, Mo Qingtian stopped talking and led Mu Yun into the room.
The room was simply furnished, square, with a table and a bed.
Upon entering the room, Mo Qingtian didn't say a word, turned around and left, leaving Mu Yun behind.
"If you stay here and don't die within an hour, you
can come out alive!"
As Mo Qingtian's voice fell, the door to the room was slammed shut.
"The Immortal-Connecting Cauldron... is this it?"
Looking around, Mu Yun noticed that the surrounding scenery was slowly changing.
Outside the house, Mo Qingtian stood in a large hall with his hands behind his back.
"Brother, why did you rush to see me? I've discovered another pill formula and am currently researching it!"
Looking at his younger brother, Mo Qingtian shook his head with a wry smile.
Mo Wen was over sixty years old this year, but he looked like a child, and he had an almost fanatical obsession with pills.
However, it was precisely this persistence that allowed Mo Wen to gradually improve and reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist.
Mo Qingtian understood that with his younger brother's talent, he could only ever reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist.
"Look, who's there?"
Mo Qingtian pointed to the wall of the hall and laughed.
"Who is it!"
Following Mo Qingtian's finger, Mo Wen opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure.
"Mu Yun!"
Seeing the figure displayed on the screen, Mo Wen rubbed his eyes and was immediately stunned.
The figure in the screen was indeed Mu Yun.
But how could Mu Yun be here?
"The Immortal Cauldron, this is inside the Immortal Cauldron!" Looking at the screen, Mo Wen said blankly, "Big brother, why did you bring Mu Yun into the Immortal Cauldron?"
Seeing Mo Wen's questioning tone, Mo Qingtian was somewhat displeased.
Mo Wen had always treated him with the respect due to an elder brother, but this time he actually showed such an expression.
"He killed someone in the Gathering Immortals Pavilion. He only had two choices: be killed or enter the Immortal Connecting Cauldron. You and I should both know that!"
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Do you know that if Mu Yun were brought to the Seven Sages Academy as an instructor, he would be an absolute top-tier genius? Our Seven Sages Academy could definitely cultivate peerless alchemists and weapon refiners."
"Mo Wen, ever since you came back from Beiyun City, you've been talking about Mu Yun non-stop, praising him endlessly. What kind of sweet talk did this guy give you?"
"No sweet talk, but he taught me a ton of alchemy knowledge. I had to beg him."
Begged him?
Hearing this, Mo Qingtian was speechless.
Although he knew his younger brother was obsessed with pills, he hadn't expected it to be to this extent.
"Brother, do you know where I learned the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Pill?"
"Could it be him?"
"That's right!"
Mo Wen said earnestly, "This kid has an unparalleled talent and understanding of pills. Almost any
pill is like a peeled lychee in his eyes, completely transparent. And do you know that I'm about to break through to the seventh-grade alchemist!"
Seventh-grade!
Hearing Mo Wen's words, Mo Qingtian was stunned.
What was the concept of a seventh-grade alchemist?
He himself was a seventh-grade alchemist, so he naturally understood that refining a seventh-grade pill was countless times more difficult than refining a sixth-grade pill.
And all of this seemed to be due to the guidance of that Mu Yun!
"It's just killing one person. Those guys outside, aren't they all just fame-seeking opportunists? It's better they're dead,"
Mo Wen said discontentedly. "This guy spent ten years in Beiyun City, unknown and obscure, yet he suddenly became a sensation, soaring to great heights. Such forbearance and perseverance are unmatched by ordinary people."
Hearing this, looking at Mu Yun in the painting, Mo Qingtian felt a pang of regret.
Such a genius was indeed a once-in-a-century phenomenon!
"Brother, why don't you release him? The Tongxian Cauldron is a top-grade earth artifact that tests a martial artist's soul power, possessing considerable spirituality. Mu Yun is only below the Spirit Cave Realm; how could he possibly have soul power?"
"He's already at the first level of the Spirit Cave Realm!"
"What?"
Mo Wen exclaimed in surprise. "My god! When I first met him, he was just a useless first-level physical body cultivator. Later, he broke through to the third level, and now, in less than half a year, he's at the first level of the Spirit Cave Realm!"
"What?"
This time, it was Mo Qingtian's turn to be surprised.
He had heard Mo Wen introduce Mu Yun before, but he hadn't expected Mu Yun to be so incredibly powerful.
"Stop it!" Mo Wen urged.
"I can't stop!" Mo Qingtian said helplessly, "You know, the Tongxian Cauldron is a top-grade earth artifact, it already possesses a trace of spirituality. Moreover, even a ninth-level Tong Shen realm expert couldn't forcibly break open a top-grade earth artifact. How could I possibly stop?" "
Sigh... Brother, do you know that by doing this, you're ruining a genius?"
Looking at Mu Yun in the scene, Mo Wen was filled with conflict, wishing he could rush in and take Mu Yun's place.
At this moment, Mu Yun, inside the Tongxian Cauldron, was facing his greatest challenge.
He originally thought that the Tongxian Cauldron was a test of a martial artist's strength and combat power, which was why Mo Qingtian described it as terrifying.
But he was wrong!
This Tongxian Cauldron didn't have any substantial attacks; it only had powerful soul force attacks.
It was impossible for a Spirit Cave realm martial artist to generate soul force.
Only a Tong Shen realm martial artist could generate soul force.
Furthermore, the stronger a martial artist in the Divine Realm becomes, the higher their realm will be, and the more their soul power will continuously increase. Ultimately, they will transcend the Divine Realm and cultivate a soul.
And soul power attacks are simply fatal to martial artists in the Spirit Cave Realm.
