Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 715 - 335: The Path to Nascent Soul (Part 2)
By that time, even if the Wind Origin Realm exerted its full power to invade, he would no longer be just a pawn to be crushed at will.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Water Lake Rat finally mastered the Profound Nether Heavy Water, able to control this Spirit Treasure at will.
Naturally, Xu Ping was ready to leave this place and formally begin his journey of heart cultivation.
In the early morning, the dawn was as red as blood, illuminating Xu Ping’s tall figure.
Standing atop the mountain peak, he overlooked the earth with a gaze that was deep and serene.
The Water Lake Rat transformed into an ordinary earthen-yellow puppy, quietly standing by his side.
"Let’s go."
One man and one rat, their forms flickered, like two streaks of light across the sky, quickly disappearing into the boundless dust of the wind, leaving only a silent mountain forest to witness their departure.
.....
Just as Xu Ping officially began his journey of heart cultivation, the news of the fall of True Monarch Chixiao and the other five Nascent Soul True Monarchs could no longer be concealed, spreading through the entire Great Xia Country.
Originally, the Red Sand Sect wanted to keep this matter hidden. The simultaneous fall of five Nascent Soul True Monarchs was enough to cause a massive uproar.
But contrary to their wishes, the sects of the other fallen Nascent Soul True Monarchs soon approached the Red Sand Sect, demanding an explanation.
After all, the matter was initiated and plotted by True Monarch Chixiao of the Red Sand Sect, so naturally, they came to the Red Sand Sect.
Thus, the news of the fall of the five Nascent Soul True Monarchs spread quickly, shocking and alarming countless cultivators.
One must know, these were five Nascent Soul True Monarchs, among whom were peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators,
even a mid-stage Nascent Soul power might find it difficult to deal with them if they joined forces.
Yet these five Nascent Soul True Monarchs didn’t even escape with their Nascent Souls; they were utterly annihilated, truly dead and gone.
Who made the move?
Was it some top power or Great Cultivator?
For a moment, speculation abounded, and discussions were heated.
No matter the truth, the fall of the five Nascent Soul True Monarchs was a fact,
all major powers began to act with extreme caution, fearing that they might inadvertently provoke some untouchable existence, bringing about their own annihilation.
...
When this shocking news reached True Monarch Lan Ling of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he was overjoyed.
The Red Sand Sect had lost two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, which was even more severe than the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
After all, True Monarch Dixiang’s lifespan had ended leading to his passing, but True Monarch Chixiao and the other were slain.
"Perhaps they’ve drawn a formidable enemy!"
True Monarch Lan Ling couldn’t help but think gleefully.
Now, the Red Sand Sect may find it difficult to recover for hundreds, or even a thousand years.
Having lost two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the Red Sand Sect certainly wouldn’t dare to plot anything against the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
"However, it’s still a good idea to remind Junior Brother Yan to act cautiously these days!"
To be able to slay five Nascent Soul cultivators, preventing even their Nascent Souls from escaping, such a cultivator or power is not something Yan Ruchen or the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons can provoke.
To be safe, it’s best to remind the sect disciples to act with extra caution these days, to avoid inviting disaster.
...
Three years passed by like a fleeting horse.
Amidst the uproar among the major powers over this incident, Xu Ping traveled across the mountains and rivers of the Great Xia Country, his footprints reaching various sects, hidden caves, and desolate regions.
Along the way, he did not hurry, moving at a steady pace, walking through the Cultivation Realm as a traveling merchant, trading in Spiritual Objects, exchanging news, and calmly cultivating.
On this long path of heart cultivation, Xu Ping was like a mirror untouched by dust, observing all the phenomena of the world yet unmoved by them.
The joys, sorrows, greed, cruelty, cold-bloodedness, and benevolence that came into view became ripples in his heart’s lake, stirring slightly before returning to calm.
This was the myriad faces of the world, yet also nourishment for heart cultivation.
During this time, Xu Ping had seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator who, for the sake of his family, stained his robe with blood, fighting to the death against a beast tide.
He had also seen a Golden Core cultivator, who in order to seize his disciple’s inheritance Token, wiped out his disciple’s entire cultivation family.
He had witnessed the bloody cruelty of Orthodoxy cultivators, and also the deep emotions and sense of duty among Demonic cultivators.
He saw sect disciples scheming against each other for a Cultivation Technique, and had witnessed the true emotions of life-and-death commitments between master and disciple.
The Cultivation Realm was like an unfathomable ocean, washing away the desires and obsessions of millions of years amidst the rise and fall of tides.
...
This day.
Fog enveloped the valley, interspersed with the occasional call of night owls.
In a low-lying area, two figures were locked in fierce combat.
"Second brother, have you gone mad?"
"You’re actually fighting me over the Celestial Star Grass!"
The man on the left wore a green robe, his face thin and sharp, with an expression that was both angry and incredulous.
"Hahaha, I haven’t gone mad at all!"
"Back then, we both entered under the Cyan Dragon Sect together, why do the elders favor you? Why do you always get an extra share of resources?"
The dark-robed cultivator on the right had a sinister face, with a twisted grin at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Ping stood quietly under the shadow of a nearby tree, observing the scene calmly.
Both brothers were at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, seemingly seeking a breakthrough opportunity.
And this Celestial Star Grass containing the Essence of Moonlight could purify one’s Mana, bringing it closer to the essence of Liquid True Essence, and reducing the sense of stagnation in Spiritual Power during Foundation Establishment, making it a fine Foundation Establishment spiritual object.
At this moment, the battlefield changed again.
"Poof!"
The thin-faced youth in the green robe suddenly faltered, a mouthful of blood spewing like a spring, dark red like ink, appearing especially eerie under the moonlight.
"You poisoned me!!"
His lips trembled, eyes fixed intently on his own brother.
"Who told you to be stupid!"
"Die, die, die... this Celestial Star Grass can only be mine!!"
