"What a pity."
"..." Wang Mu.
Wang Mu glanced at the Divine Flower, his heart stirred, and he continued to walk on.
"You..." Mu Lanxin opened her mouth.
The very next second, the space changed, clouds surged, and the surrounding scenery vanished completely. A murderous intent instantly ca from all directions.
"Congratulations, Cultivator. I didn’t expect you still had Spiritual Power to keep going," Mu Lanxin said. "This challenge is a trial of life and death."
"?" Wang Mu.
This is the life-and-death trial already? Purely ssing with , right?
Wang Mu looked ahead and saw a dense swarm of Fierce Beasts, each with the strength of the Late-stage Golden Core.
It was as though he had suddenly appeared in a Beast Cave.
However, these Fierce Beasts were mostly incomplete, either missing an arm or a leg, an ear, or a tail, their eyes full of Evil Qi.
The surroundings were enclosed by cliffs with no exit, with stars visible above and endless land below, as if he were suspended in the void.
"These Fierce Beasts," Mu Lanxin said, "are said to have ford from resentnt and confusion in their hearts after being abandoned by their mates, wreaking havoc in the world.
"The missing organs symbolize their incomplete souls. This very lack grants these Fierce Beasts incredibly strong power.
"So, this challenge is also known as ’Emotionless Enlightennt’."
"In total, there are more than thirty Fierce Beasts, all of the Late-stage Golden Core Realm. So far, no cultivator has managed to pass this challenge, and there’s no way to leave. Only through battle can one proceed, and if you fail, you will be eliminated," Mu Lanxin continued.
"..." Wang Mu.
"Cultivator, you really are unlucky," Mu Lanxin said. "Your luck was looking up just a mont ago."
Yeah, my luck was looking up just a mont ago, so how did I suddenly end up in this kind of challenge?
Wang Mu looked at Mu Lanxin.
"Why do you stare at , Cultivator?" Mu Lanxin said. "Do you want to know the secret to passing the challenge? That’s fine. As a guide, my role is to help you cultivators prevail."
"Actually, passing this challenge is quite simple," Mu Lanxin said. "As the saying goes, ’If you can’t beat them, join them.’
"These are Fierce Beasts that have abandoned their emotions. If they detect a cultivator with an intense romantic destiny, they will often fight to the death against them. But if you, too, are devoid of romantic destiny, or have been abandoned by your mate, or are a cultivator without a sliver of emotion, they will not harbor any hatred toward you.
"They’ll see you as one of their own, and then you can just walk right through.
"Sounds easy, doesn’t it?"
Wang Mu nodded. Yes, that does sound incredibly easy. Just be devoid of emotion, and this challenge is practically a giveaway.
What a sha...
My feelings for both Miss You and Mu Hongyuan had returned.
With a sigh, Wang Mu realized he had no choice but to fight head-on.
"Don’t be a hero, Cultivator," Mu Lanxin said. "If you fail, it’s all over."
Without a word, Wang Mu took a step forward.
His Sea of Consciousness stirred, and twelve Flying Swords flew out from the Space Bracelet, shimring with a brilliant divine light, positioned at clever angles around him.
The twelve Flying Swords, like specks of dust, emitted a faint glow, and as they slowly rotated, they possessed a power that seed capable of rivaling the Celestial Stars.
The Celestial Microdust Sword Formation.
This was an advanced Sword Array that Wang Mu had specifically learned from the Do Cauldron Sword Scripture for the Wine Sword Gourd.
The Sword Array used the Celestial Stars as a base, with twelve stars, thirty-six heavenly spirits, and seventy-two earthly fiends, represented by the Flying Swords.
Comparing the Flying Swords to celestial stars as if they were dust particles.
Within this dust, powered by the numbers of the Celestial Stars, with a flick of the fingers, the Flying Swords could grind down any formidable foe.
In the Do Cauldron Sword Scripture, there are many Sword Arrays, and this Celestial Microdust Sword Formation is one that is strong in the beginning and incredibly powerful later on.
Its lower limit is high, and its upper limit is outrageously so.
It’s just very costly in terms of Flying Swords. Ordinary Sword Cultivators simply cannot refine so many.
The minimum requirent is twelve Flying Swords, secretly corresponding to the Twelve Star Palaces in the sky. The material for the swords must be at least Mid-grade, and the Golden Core Realm is the starting point.
Wang Mu did not use the Wine Sword Gourd at this mont, as that Magic Treasure was too powerful.
There was no need for such force against these Late-stage Golden Core Fierce Beasts.
All twelve were Chiyun Flying Swords. Given Wang Mu’s current refinent level, they were already comparable to Mid-grade Flying Swords.
They were sufficient for his purpose.
Of course, the Sword Array places demanding requirents on Sword Cultivators. Divine Sense, Spiritual Power, and many other aspects are all essential.
"Go!"
The surging Spiritual Power of the Mystic Water Golden Core flowed into each Flying Sword.
The Mystic Water Golden Core, condensed from the small water droplet, possessed power even greater than the Primordial Golden Pill.
The Primordial Golden Pill’s strength lies in its functionality.
The Mystic Water Golden Core, on the other hand, is known for its formidable power; a single droplet of Primordial Mystic Water could crush sun, moon, and stars.
After the Mystic Water Golden Core was ford, the tiny droplet took residence inside the Golden Core, nourishing it and rging with it, making it even more in tune with Wang Mu.
In use, there were no longer any obstacles.
Notably, during its condensation, the Mystic Water Golden Core had also cleansed his physical body, making his current physical strength even greater than before.
During the formation of the Golden Core, even if one is not a Body Cultivation practitioner, their physical strength will still be enhanced to so degree.
As for the effects of the Mystic Water Golden Core, Wang Mu was not entirely sure.
In fact, this was the first ti he was using it.
When the Spiritual Power of the Mystic Water Golden Core poured into the twelve Flying Swords, the swords vibrated and instantly turned pitch black, their darkness shining brightly.
They seed to flicker, yet possessed imnse power.
In the next mont, as Wang Mu’s Sword Heart stirred and his Divine Sense erupted, the twelve Flying Swords moved like reaping scythes. Ordinarily, Mid-grade Flying Swords would find it difficult to penetrate the physical defenses of these Late-stage Golden Core Fierce Beasts.
