Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Sanctuary of Cultivators, Avoiding a Battle_1

Translator: 549690339 (

“But seeking refuge in Mystic Mountain Range won’t be that easy,” “This is the Mystic Mountain Range, the playground of demonic beasts, and home to countless venomous bugs and ferocious animals.” “Three Foundation-building families previously lived here but unknowingly enraged a third-rank demonic beast from the depths of Mystic Mountain Range, leading to their total annihilation.”

“If you plan to survive here for several years, you’ll be walking on thin ice.” “Don’t provoke the third-range demonic beasts here or nobody will be able to save you.”

Zhou Sui sternly advised.

“Thank you for the warning, but even so, it’s still better than enduring the constant extortion from the outside world.”

“It beats being captured by those Sect Cultivators as cannon fodder.” Jiang Qi nodded, acknowledging the dangers of living in the Mystic Mountain Range.

He had already assessed the risks before.

Nevertheless, they had made such a decision.

The thinking was that the outside world was too chaotic and that human life was considered cheap.

Rather than being captured by those Demon Cultivators and living worse than death, they’d prefer to die at the hands of the demonic beasts.

At least they wouldn’t suffer before death.

“If that’s the case, then I wish you all the best,”

Zhou Sui looked deeply at Jiang Qi and the others, fully understanding their thoughts.

Indeed, harsh governance is worse than a tiger.

Even Cultivators, including those in the Foundation Establishment Realm, faced oppression from the Sects.

In peaceful times, the Golden Core Sect might show some respect to these Loose Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”

But at the critical point of life and death, it’s ‘survive or perish’.”

To gather a large number of war supplies, various forms of extortion followed. Both loose cultivators and cultivator families alike were oppressed by the Golden Core Sect.

Nobody could resist.

The Jiang family was such a case – they packed in haste and fled into the Mystic Mountain Range overnight.

After all, the complex environment and profuse demonic beasts of the Mystic Mountain Range did not make it suitable for cultivators to live.

Nobody would fight over it.

It wasn’t a strategic territory in any sense.

This gave loose cultivators and cultivator families a chance for survival.

A considerable number of cultivator families, in order to avoid the war, fled to places like the Mystical Mountain ranges.

In a short time, the Jiang family and others left, having already found a suitable place nearby to live. They started building their houses and setting up arrays.

“My lord, never had I imagined that hiding in Mystic Mountain Range would help us avoid a war,”

Mu Ziyi remarked thoughtfully.

She knew how brutal wars between sects could be. It was just like wars in the mundane world, rendering people homeless, leaving starvation everywhere, and countless dead and injured.

During this time, almost no lands within tens of thousands of miles remained unaffected.

Had they left Mystic Mountain Range, they might have been drawn into the

war.

“Indeed, we should continue to live here in Mystic Mountain Range,” “Although this is a playground for demonic beasts, as long as we are careful, these beasts won’t harm us.”

Zhou Sui also nodded.

He realized more than ever that it was indeed wise to hide in Mystic Mountain Range. If he had moved to other places, he would certainly have been drawn into the war, or even have been detained by those Golden Core Sects to serve as

cannon fodder.

On the contrary, by staying in the Mystic Mountain Range, he could access lots of cultivation resources and evade the Sects’ extortion.

This was infinitely better than surviving outside.

It was a veritable paradise isolated from the outside world.

However, he was also a bit frustrated. He had initially hoped to indirectly seize control of the Immortal Mist Sect through Leng Yuexi’s power.

However, from the looks of it, the Immortal Mist Sect might soon be finished.

But, he didn’t feel too regretful.

After all, compared to the Immortal Mist Sect, his dao partner Leng Yuexi was more critical.

Whether or not he got control of the Immortal Mist Sect didn’t matter. Even if he truly gained control, it would merely be a feather in his cap.

“But, Sister Leng, the Immortal Mist Sect is now at war with other sects. Don’t you plan to return?”

Xia Jingyan asked curiously while looking at Leng Yuexi.

After all, Leng Yuexi was indeed the Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist

Sect, equivalent to the next Sect Master.

Her sect was now in trouble, so perhaps she might want to return and offer her aid.

“I don’t plan on returning.”

Leng Yuexi shook her head, “The Immortal Mist Sect is a sect with a long history. It has endured numerous life-and-death crises. Its depth isn’t something an average cultivator can imagine. You see, trying to destroy the Immortal Mist Sect isn’t an easy task.

Moreover, I am merely a foundation-building cultivator right now. In such a large-scale sect war, whether there’s one more or one less foundation-building cultivator doesn’t make much difference. Don’t overestimate your significance.

So my biggest goal right now is to reach the Golden Core. Once I become a Golden Core Master, I can change the balance of power in the region and even

alter the course of the war.”

Her thoughts were clear.

Even though she had deep feelings for the Immortal Mist Sect, she also knew her place.

She was just a nobody.

Even if she returned to the Immortal Mist Sect, it wouldn’t change the course of the war in any way.

The ones who truly determined the war’s outcome were the Golden Core Masters.

If she could reach the level of a Golden Core Master, she could become a player, making her moves on the chessboard.

Otherwise, she could only follow the flow and be sacrificed by others.

It was like before when she was trapped in Misty Cloud City for over two years. The sect had shown no intention of sending anyone to rescue her.

If not for her partner saving her, she probably would have died.

So at this moment, she gave up her illusions. She wasn’t as important to the Immortal Mist Sect as she had imagined.

“Very well said, the sect wars don’t concern us much. There’s no need for us to get involved.”

“Now, the most important thing for you is to reach the Golden Core level.” “Anything dangerous that comes your way, you’ll be able to handle it with ease.”

Zhou Sui agreed completely with Leng Yuexi’s thoughts.

“Sister Leng, are you planning to form your core here?”

Ji Bingyu asked curiously.

“That’s correct.”

Leng Yuexi nodded, “This is an excellent place to form a core. It has a two-level spirit vein. Although it’s not as good as the Immortal Mist Sect’s three-level spirit vein, the energy is still barely enough.

In fact, with the aid of the core-forming spiritual items Ice-fire Spiritual Liquid and the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, the help from a spirit vein doesn’t matter much. Given a few months, I will surely succeed in forming my

core.”

She clenched her fist, exuding confidence.

“Sister Leng, leave your core formation to me.”

‘Tve successfully become a second-stage array master. I can set up a second-stage Spirit Gathering Array to help gather nature’s spiritual energy. I can also set up a concealment array to hide your aura when you break through, preventing detection by the three-stage demonic beasts in the mountains.” “With my help, nobody will be able to disturb you during your core formation.”

Xia Jingyan immediately pled.

“Thank you all for your help.”

Upon hearing these words, Leng Yuexi smiled faintly and felt a wave of warmth in her heart.

Indeed, they were her true family.

Compared to those disciples from the Immortal Mist Sect, who might abandon others at any moment, her relationship with her family was indeed closer..
