Chapter 413: Seeing Through It!

The information Little Nannan obtained was not limited to just the Soul Race's Cultivation Technique.

There were also some secrets behind these people.

The most important among them was the Heavenly Demon Race!

This race was extremely ancient; even with Wang Mu's current experience, it was difficult to trace its origins, and it felt quite unfamiliar.

Judging from the information in those Divine Soul fragments, this race was exceptionally mysterious and ancient, active among the heavens and myriad worlds, leaving countless traces throughout the long river of time.

Moreover, they had interacted with many ancient races.

For example, the Soul Race was one of them.

Besides that, there were the Ancient God Race, Spirit Race, Sea Race, Underworld Race, and so on.

The body with powerful spirituality that Little Nannan had previously obtained in the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven belonged to a powerhouse of the Ancient God Race.

Every one of these races was extremely powerful, but strangely, they had all disappeared into the long river of history.

One could hardly find any traces of their existence anymore.

Until now, someone practicing the Soul Race's Divine Ability and Cultivation Technique had appeared in the Northern Region of the Cangyuan Realm, even becoming involved with the Saint Advent Society, intending to make a move against those around Wang Mu within the Heavenly Ruins.

This series of fragmented information made Wang Mu involuntarily ponder the connections behind it.

After a good while.

Wang Mu came back to his senses and asked aloud, "How much longer until the Heavenly Ruins open?"

As soon as the words fell.

A plump, charming woman appeared by Wang Mu's side; she was none other than Meng Po from the Yellow Springs Guards.

She bowed and said, "Reporting to the Young Lord, it is estimated to be three days!"

"Three days…" Wang Mu mused, that could work.

He turned to Lin Yan and smiled, "Since Brother Lin has come, stay on my Flying Boat for a few days to rest and build up your energy while waiting for the Heavenly Ruins to open!"

"Alright." Upon hearing this, Lin Yan hesitated slightly, but did not refuse and agreed.

Wang Mu nodded, turned, and walked out of the room, heading towards his own quarters.

Meng Po, Xiao Wanmeng, and the others followed closely behind.

"The Wang family truly hides dragons and crouches tigers!" Watching the backs of the group as they left, Dan Xuan's voice suddenly rang in Lin Yan's mind.

Lin Yan asked in confusion, "Teacher, why the sudden exclamation?"

Dan Xuan said, "That beautiful woman beside Wang Mu just now was quite extraordinary. For a moment, even I felt a trace of danger!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan was very surprised.

He knew that his teacher, in his prime, was a bona fide veteran Earth Immortal powerhouse.

Although not known for combat prowess, he was certainly not someone to be trifled with.

"Could it be that she is also an Earth Immortal?" Lin Yan was very surprised; to him, a figure of that level was still a towering giant, completely out of reach.

"No! Her cultivation should only be at the Peak of Soul Transformation, but the Cultivation Technique she practices is very interesting…" Dan Xuan shook his head and muttered to himself.

"That is still very strong!" Lin Yan clicked his tongue.

He thought to himself that he had seen a lot of the world over the past year, but compared to Wang Mu, it was like child's play.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had restrained himself back then and hadn't acted on the idea of perishing together with Wang Mu.

Otherwise, the grass on his grave would probably be several zhang high by now.

…

Outside Wang Mu's room.

"Qianxue, do you want to play a game??" Wang Mu suddenly stared at Dugu Qianxue behind him and asked.

Dugu Qianxue said in surprise, "I don't want to play!"

Wang Mu said, "Play a few rounds!"

Dugu Qianxue frowned, "I've been stuck at my rank for the past two days and can't climb up, I don't want to play!"

Wang Mu insisted, "Maybe if you play now, you'll climb up!"

Hearing this.

Dugu Qianxue realized something and swept her gaze over Little Nannan, Xiao Wanmeng, and Meng Po.

She noticed that they were all looking at her.

She couldn't help but pout, "If you want to send me away, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

As she spoke.

She stomped her foot lightly, pouted, and turned to leave, looking dissatisfied.

"Come in!" Wang Mu brought the others into the room and closed the door.

Xiao Wanmeng smiled half-heartedly and said, "She is a Saintess after all, why are you being so dismissive…"

Wang Mu retorted, "Am I being dismissive?"

Little Nannan nodded seriously.

"…"

Wang Mu curled his lips slightly, "At worst, after this is over, I'll play a few rounds of games with her to apologize. For now, we have to attend to serious business."

Xiao Wanmeng: "We?"

Wang Mu said, "Mainly me and Little Nannan!"

Little Nannan asked, "What do we need to do?"

Wang Mu said, "We are not familiar with the Soul Race's methods. With three days left, we must try our best to find flaws in their Cultivation Technique to increase our chances of winning!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wanmeng couldn't help but purse her red lips.

Three days, what can you do in that time? It's not even enough time for a meditation session, and they want to see through the flaws in the Cultivation Technique of an ancient race?

If outsiders heard this, they would definitely laugh at them for being whimsical.

However, Wang Mu's expression was very serious.

Little Nannan was the same.

Even Meng Po, who was silently serving on the side, was only slightly surprised.

The Twelve Yellow Springs Guards guarded Wang Mu's side almost day and night.

They had witnessed him write the "Heavenly Book" in one night, causing the Heavenly Dao to bestow Karma, and understood just how deep their Young Lord, who was claimed to be "unable to Cultivate," really was.

"I have read those Cultivation Techniques; three days might not be enough…" Little Nannan pondered for a while, her delicate brows furrowing.

Wang Mu said, "Let's do our best. We will verify and deduce together; breaking through even a little bit is worth it!"

Little Nannan nodded.

"Let's begin!"

Over the next three days.

Wang Mu and the others did not step out of the room once.

An invisible Formation rose around the house, preventing anyone from approaching.

Inside the room, runes filled the air, and various visions appeared constantly.

Wang Mu and Little Nannan sat facing each other, both looking solemn and dignified, uttering words of wisdom, sometimes sitting quietly with lowered brows, sometimes speaking in brilliant succession.

At the very beginning.

Xiao Wanmeng and Meng Po could still vaguely keep up with the train of thought of Wang Mu and Little Nannan.

Later on, they couldn't understand it at all.

Their thoughts were unconstrained, sometimes jumping here and there, yet they both seemed to know exactly what the other was thinking.

Throughout the entire deduction process.

Wang Mu took the lead.

Although both possessed the Dao-Comprehension Immortal Heart, when it came to the depth of their knowledge, even Little Nannan, who had read and studied every precious secret manual in the Northern Dark Holy Land's treasury, was worlds apart compared to Wang Mu.

In the end, it was almost Wang Mu leading Little Nannan in the deduction.

Often, Wang Mu would propose a direction.

Little Nannan would follow up to supplement it.

As the deduction deepened, the two gradually realized that the Soul Race's Cultivation Technique was not as sinister and treacherous as they had imagined.

It was originally supposed to be a technique that charted an entirely different path, yet was capable of leading directly to the Dao.

It cultivated the pure power of the Divine Soul, open and upright.

It pursued the supreme ultimate realm of breaking free from the shackles of the Physical Body, seeking to move the seas and rotate the galaxies with a single thought.

It gave them a lot of inspiration.

Especially for Little Nannan, she even added a new chapter specifically related to the Divine Soul in her self-created "Heaven-Usurping Creation Art".

However.

The people of the Saint Advent Society, or the existence behind them, had modified these Cultivation Techniques into the so-called "Soul-Controlling and Spirit-Seizing Scripture".

It was an Evil Path Cultivation Technique that could strengthen oneself by devouring the Divine Souls of others, or even the vengeful spirits and grievances of Mortals.

This method progressed extremely quickly and had more terrifying lethality, but it severely limited the true potential.

It had already fallen into a lower class.
