Chapter 414: Young Master Opens, Dan Xuan xianliao

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The void turbulence in the sky grew increasingly intense.

That patch of space was as fragile as thin paper.

Various phenomena appeared; sometimes a Kunpeng fought the heavens, sometimes a Divine Dragon crossed the sky, and sometimes lightning intertwined with towering flames, leaving people speechless.

Wang Mu and the others stepped out of their rooms earlier than planned.

The Heavenly Ruins was about to open.

They needed to leave some time for Little Nannan to rest and replenish her energy.

Xiao Wanmeng handed a manuscript with wet ink to Lin Yan, Han Li, and the other Prodigies from the Northern Dark Holy Land and the Wang Family.

"What is this?"

Lin Yan looked at the text on it; with just one glance, he felt it was very unusual.

Xiao Wanmeng smiled calmly and said, "The Saint sent the Soul Race Cultivation Technique back to the Holy Land. My Master, along with several Elders of the Northern Dark Holy Land, meditated on it for three days and nights, finally finding a flaw and a way to counter it. I hope Young Master Lin keeps it safe."

Hearing this.

Lin Yan's expression changed suddenly.

"They… found a flaw just like that?"

Even Dan Xuan was extremely surprised. His Soul Power quickly scanned the text, and he couldn't help but gasp, "Every word is a gem, striking the vital points. Was this really thought up in just three days?"

He had dealt with that Soul Race person before.

Although it was brief.

It was enough to show how sinister and treacherous their methods were, truly rare in the world.

They completely defied common logic.

For such a wicked Cultivation Technique, to find a flaw and a counter-method in just three days—Dan Xuan admitted to himself that he couldn't do it.

He wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Facing Lin Yan's shock, Xiao Wanmeng gave a soft smile. This was normal; heaven knew how shocked she had been witnessing the entire process of Wang Mu and Little Nannan's deductions over the past few days.

One could only say that there are even gaps between Prodigies.

Although Little Nannan was young, she already showed the presence of an Immortal Dao Great Power.

And Little Mumu… he was an absolute freak!

"And there's this one. He specifically instructed me to give it to Young Master Lin!" As Xiao Wanmeng spoke, she took out another scroll and handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan took it in confusion, and after a scan of his Divine Sense, he was instantly stunned.

"A Soul Race Cultivation Technique?"

"The Soul Race Cultivation Technique we obtained before had been altered by someone, becoming a wicked technique! The one in Young Master Lin's hand was refined by my Master and the others. Although I don't know if it's stronger or weaker than the original Soul Race technique, it has many wonderful uses…"

Xiao Wanmeng's lips curled slightly as she said meaningfully, "For instance, it has miraculous effects in helping a remnant soul complete its soul body, transitioning into a Soul Race True Body, and taking things a step further!"

Hearing this.

Lin Yan's expression froze, and his pupils shrank almost imperceptibly.

He wanted to say something.

But Xiao Wanmeng had already left.

"Teacher, why did she give us this Cultivation Technique?" Lin Yan said somewhat uncertainly, "Could it be that Wang Mu discovered your existence?"

Dan Xuan remained silent.

When he was alive, he had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, and his cultivation in the Divine Soul aspect was unique.

Even though only a remnant soul remained, he was confident that many Earth Immortals at the Undergoing Tribulation stage would find it difficult to discover him.

But now, facing Xiao Wanmeng's actions, which were almost an explicit hint.

He was no longer certain.

"I can't see through them…" Dan Xuan sighed. Nowadays, the Cultivation World was changing too fast.

He considered himself well-traveled and knowledgeable, but what he had seen over the past few days made him feel small despite himself.

The Soul Race, which had disappeared for years, had appeared to set a trap.

Then came the unheard-of Saint Advent Society, with even Holy Lands involved.

The Northern Dark Holy Land also lived up to its reputation, finding a flaw in the Soul Race's secret Cultivation Technique in just three days.

Dan Xuan's Divine Sense scanned the technique repeatedly, his soul body trembling. "This time, I owe that little fellow Wang Mu a huge favor!"

…That night.

At the hour of the Rat.

The Heavenly Ruins officially opened.

Clouds rolled across the horizon, and the void layered upon itself, reflecting countless scenes that did not belong to this world.

A huge crack was torn open high above.

Boundless divine light poured down like liquid silver, surging over the endless wasteland.

The originally pitch-black world was instantly lit up.

It illuminated all the thousands upon thousands of Cultivators standing in the air around the majestic peak.

In an instant.

The world fell into a solemn silence.

"It's finally starting!"

On the Flying Boat of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land, Jiang Baiyi looked at the distant scene and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He then said, "Mo'er, don't think too much. After entering the Heavenly Ruins, just perform as you please and show the majesty of our Absolute Beginning Holy Land!"

"Yes." Ye Mo nodded, his eyes showing no excitement. Instead, he looked at his Master's back with a complex expression.

"Master." Ye Mo suddenly spoke.

"What is it?"

"You said before that you were going to take action against Wang Mu. What exactly is the plan?"

"…" Jiang Baiyi turned around, puzzled. "Why do you suddenly ask this? Didn't I say you'll find out when the time comes!"

Ye Mo pondered for a moment and said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly feel that even if Wang Mu is guilty, he doesn't deserve to die, and… his being alive is beneficial to all living beings in the world!"

Hearing this, the light in Jiang Baiyi's eyes changed slightly, and he frowned. "Mo'er, you can't just judge a person by their surface! Yes, he has indeed done some good things now and gained some fame, but that cannot wash away the sins he committed in the past…"

"Moreover, these insignificant good deeds might not be what he truly thinks in his heart! There are plenty of hypocrites in this world!"

"The Wang Family must have a plot; they just haven't shown their fangs yet."

Hearing this, Ye Mo stared into Jiang Baiyi's eyes. "But I feel that a person like Wang Mu, even if he's faking it, is a thousand or ten thousand times better than those demons who sacrifice living people at every turn!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Jiang Baiyi's pupils shrank, and his expression changed uncontrollably before he quickly masked it, smiling. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where are there demons who sacrifice living people? In the lands where our Holy Land's authority reaches, would any wicked path dare to do such a thing?"

He masked it very well.

Almost flawlessly.

But Ye Mo, having been his Disciple for many years, still sensed a bit of abnormality.

His heart sank.

"I was just saying it casually!" He looked up, his eyes full of bright smiles.

Jiang Baiyi felt relieved and laughed. "Just talking nonsense! Alright, don't think about those messy things. Your most important task now is to successfully complete this Prodigy Assembly! You don't need to worry about the rest!"

"Yes."

Ye Mo nodded, but his hand, hidden in his wide sleeve, tightly gripped a Communication Talisman.

The interface of the Communication Talisman emitted a faint light.

What was displayed was the screen of [xianliao]… "Boom!"

With a loud bang, boundless energy scattered in all directions, a vast expanse of white submerging the void, leaving behind a passage leading to an unknown destination.

"Everyone, the Heavenly Ruins has opened. If you don't enter now, when will you?"

"Charge!"

"Heavenly Ruins, here I come!"

"…"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, thousands of beams of light shot into the sky, heading straight for that massive vortex.
