The White Silk Handkerchief rose up and a flight light flashed by. This kind of flying technique made the low-level cultivators of Ye Clan extremely envious.
When the other cultivators in Tong 'an City felt the pressure of a Foundation Building cultivator, their expressions changed. Only when the pressure was far away did they dare to look around.
Mo Tiange rode the White Silk Handkerchief until she was some distance away from Tong 'an City. She then retracted her spiritual aura pressure.
The reason why he deliberately revealed the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in Tong 'an City was to intimidate others, to let them know that the Ye Clan had connections with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so that they wouldn't be bullied by others.
This was the secular world. Most of the itinerant cultivators in the secular world had no hope of reaching the Great Dao, and their cultivation was between the first to the third layer. A Foundation Establishment cultivator was enough to intimidate them.
The flight light of a Foundation Building cultivator wasn't slow, and the White Silk Handkerchief was an excellent flying magic weapon. In less than half a day, they had already left Wei Country.
When she was in Ye Clan, Ye Cheng gave her some of the information Ye Clan had collected in the secular world in the past several decades. However, most of the spirit veins in the Celestial Pole were concentrated in Kunwu, and even if there were spirit veins in the secular world, they were very weak. Even some small cultivation groups weren't interested in them, so naturally, they couldn't be considered fated chances.
Therefore, Mo Tiange didn't plan to explore the secret places provided by Ye Clan. She only planned to pick some spiritual plants or find some spiritual objects in some special places.
To the southeast of the Wei Kingdom was the Jin Kingdom.
Mo Tiange also planned to take a trip to the Mo Family's Village in Liancheng City to pay her respects to her mother and retrieve her mother's remains. If she had the chance, she would be buried with her father in the future.
Back then, when her father died on Demonic Mountain, Qin Shoujing brought news back saying that his body was buried on Demonic Mountain.
She already had a plan in her heart. If she could form her Gold Core in the future, when the restrictions on Demonic Mountain weakened again, she would take a trip to retrieve her father's remains and bury him with her mother. This could also be considered fulfilling her mother's lifelong wish.
At the same time, he also wanted to inform them of Tianqiao's death.
When he was young, he only felt that the family was cold. If it wasn't for Tianqiao, he wouldn't even want to stay there for a day.
Now, she was no longer the orphan girl who had lost her parents. Instead, she was an immortal cultivator who could fly in the sky and tunnel through the earth. Thinking back to the past, she could only sigh.
Actually, her grandparents weren't bad people, but for a child, they didn't give her enough affection.
She could understand, but it was difficult for her to get close to them.
As soon as she entered Jin Country's territory, a frown appeared on her face. She changed the direction of her flight and headed northeast.
This was because she felt a strange spiritual aura fluctuation. It didn't seem like a battle of magical powers between cultivators, and it also didn't seem like the spiritual aura pressure of a high-level cultivator.
Mo Tiange only hesitated for a moment before she decided to go and take a look.
The spiritual energy turbulence wasn't that great, but it was a bit strange. This was the secular world, so presumably, there weren't any high-level cultivators here. Now that she had a certain level of cultivation and several treasures on her, she shouldn't be in any danger.
Nevertheless, the closer she got, the deeper the frown on her face became. This spiritual aura turbulence was clean and pure, and she could faintly hear the sound of wind and thunder. Could it be that a unique treasure had been born?
With this thought in mind, she cast an art and urged the White Silk Handkerchief to move forward with all her might.
Then, she spread her divine sense out. Sure enough, she discovered other cultivators were also rushing over. However, these cultivators were only in the Aura Refining realm. When her divine sense touched them, they knew there were Foundation Building seniors here, so they immediately slowed down.
The more Mo Tiange flew, the stranger she felt. This spiritual aura … didn't seem to be as close as she thought. She'd been flying for so long, but she didn't feel like the distance between them was getting any closer.
Gradually, this spiritual aura turbulence attracted the attention of even more cultivators in the secular world. After flying for several hours, Mo Tiange began to sense that there were also Foundation Building cultivators joining the ranks of the pursuers.
Although most of the individual cultivators in the secular world were low-level Aura Refining cultivators, there were also cultivators in the Foundation Building realm and above who happened to pass by. Maybe they were like her and happened to discover this spiritual aura turbulence, so they chased after it.
These Foundation Building cultivators tacitly kept some distance from each other, but they spared no effort in flying in that direction.
Several more hours passed, and the spiritual aura turbulence finally became a bit more obvious. Many of the Foundation Building cultivators were overjoyed and sped up.
Mo Tiange's White Silk Handkerchief was naturally much better than these cultivators' flying magic tools. However, when she discovered other Foundation Building cultivators, she no longer urged it with all her strength and instead maintained a speed that was roughly the same as theirs.
The reason for this was because she was used to being cautious.
This spiritual aura turbulence was very abnormal. Rather than running in the front alone, it would be safer for her to travel with these people.
If there really was some kind of unique treasure, she wouldn't be afraid of them since she swept her gaze over them just now and discovered that these Foundation Building cultivators were all early stage cultivators.
At this time, the closer they flew, the more obvious the spiritual aura turbulence became. Mo Tiange knew the source wasn't too far away.
The flight lights of the other cultivators were already visible to the naked eye. There were many people who had the same idea as her, but they all avoided her.
After all, her cultivation level was in the peak of the middle stage, so she was the strongest among them. Right now, they still didn't know whether she was a friend or a foe, so it was better for her to stay as far away as possible.
At this time, there were no longer any Aura Refining cultivators following them.
Even if some Aura Refining cultivators sensed the spiritual aura turbulence and flew up, they were suppressed by the spiritual aura pressure of these Foundation Building cultivators and eventually gave up the pursuit.
The spiritual aura turbulence became increasingly clear. Mo Tiange's divine sense had already sensed the source of the spiritual aura turbulence. At the same time, she also sensed other cultivators' divine senses brushing past her.
She also saw cultivators rushing over from other directions.
Mo Tiange pondered for a moment then stepped on the White Silk Handkerchief. Her speed suddenly became faster, leaving the Foundation Building cultivators behind as she flew straight towards the source of the spiritual aura.
Upon seeing the white flight light disappearing into the horizon, the faces of the Foundation Building cultivators who had been flying together with her for several hours turned ashen.
With this kind of speed, she could've left them behind a long time ago. It seemed that this Fellow Daoist was just being lenient. Now that she suddenly sped up, did she discover something?
With this thought in mind, several Foundation Building cultivators also sped up and chased after her.
Only one of them muttered to himself, "Her flight light is actually white … It seems this person isn't someone to be trifled with. It's better to slow down a bit."
The color of a flight light was always consistent with one's spiritual roots and the cultivation technique they mainly cultivated.
Gold was golden, wood was cyan, water was blue, fire was red, and earth was yellow. For cultivators with mixed spiritual roots, their flight lights were, at most, mixed colors. It was absolutely impossible for their flight lights to be white.
Unless that person was a rare Foundation Building cultivator with five spiritual roots or a cultivator who practiced a special cultivation technique, it was impossible for a person with five spiritual roots to have a white flight light.
Foundation Building cultivators with five spiritual roots had experienced many hardships that ordinary people couldn't compare to. Cultivators who practiced special cultivation techniques mostly had strange moves. No matter what kind of move they practiced, they were stronger than ordinary cultivators.
Unfortunately, the other Foundation Building cultivators were too eager to get their hands on the treasure and didn't think about this point.
Two hours later, Mo Tiange landed on a cliff.
At this moment, a group of cultivators had gathered on the cliff. Among them were three Foundation Building cultivators and more than ten Aura Refining cultivators. They all looked different, but they were all staring at the valley below the cliff.
Upon seeing Mo Tiange land, some of the Foundation Building cultivators were happy, while some were worried. On the contrary, the more than ten Aura Refining cultivators were indifferent and expressionless.
"Fellow Daoist!"
Mo Tiange was still observing the valley faintly emitting spiritual aura when a Foundation Building cultivator with a grizzled beard came to greet her and cupped his hands politely.
Mo Tiange had already observed the people here. She didn't need to pay too much attention to those Aura Refining cultivators since they were probably individual cultivators in the secular world.
There were three Foundation Building cultivators. One of them was a man and a woman about thirty years old. They looked intimate and seemed to be Dual Cultivation Companions. Both of them were in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm, and there was nothing special about their appearance or clothes.
There was also this Daoist who was standing together with the man and woman just now. They seemed to be friends or had reached a mutual agreement.
This Daoist was in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm. He had white hair and a ruddy complexion, and his cultivation level was quite high.
Since the other party was so polite, Mo Tiange also saluted him back.
This Daoist had secretly peeked at her cultivation level a long time ago. Seeing that she still looked like a young girl but had such a high cultivation level, he was inwardly shocked.
In the cultivation world, although cultivation techniques with the effect of retaining one's youth weren't rare, they weren't common either. Individual cultivators most likely couldn't get their hands on such cultivation techniques.
This Daoist secretly speculated that if Mo Tiange's youthful appearance was due to the cultivation technique she practiced, then she was most likely someone from a cultivation group. If it wasn't because of the cultivation technique she practiced, it would be even more frightening for her to have such a high cultivation level at such a young age.
Because of this, his attitude was both polite and respectful. "My Daoist name is Fangzheng. May I know how I should address Fellow Daoist?"
Mo Tiange's gaze swept over this person but she didn't give him her real name. "I'm Ye Xiaotian. Nice to meet you."
After leaving Mount Taikang, she had already changed out of her cultivation group's uniform. Her name was also an alias, and she rarely walked outside, so presumably no one would recognize her.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Ye."
Daoist Fangzheng once again cupped his hands towards her then went straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Ye must've noticed the spiritual aura fluctuation here, so she rushed over to take a look."
Mo Tiange nodded. "Yes." Her gaze once again fell on the valley below the cliff.
This place didn't look like a spirit vein no matter how she looked at it, and this valley also didn't look special, so why was there spiritual aura here?
Daoist Fangzheng smiled. "What a coincidence! These two Fellow Daoists and I also came to take a look because of this."
"Is that so?" Mo Tiange answered faintly.
She already guessed this Daoist's intention. Presumably, he wanted to invite her to go down the valley together.
However, this valley didn't seem special, so why didn't the three of them, Foundation Building cultivators, dare to go down?
Daoist Fangzheng looked a bit embarrassed to see her cold attitude, but Mo Tiange's cultivation level was slightly higher than his, so he endured it. "Fellow Daoist Ye, Brother Yao, his wife, and I have already examined the valley."
"Oh?" Mo Tiange finally shifted her gaze from the valley to him.
Daoist Fangzheng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, are you wondering why we stopped here and didn't go down the valley?"
Mo Tiange nodded.
Indeed, the spiritual pressure wasn't strong. The three Foundation Building cultivators didn't move, and the dozen or so Aura Refining cultivators were still standing on the cliff's edge, whispering to each other, but none of them made any moves to go down. This was indeed strange.
"To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist, Brother Yao, his wife, and I rushed here just now, then we went down the valley separately. Who would've thought the miasma and gales in this valley would be so powerful? We could block them once, but we couldn't block them twice. In the end, we had no choice but to come back up."
"Miasma and gales?" Mo Tiange was rather astonished.
If they were miasma and gales, how could the spiritual aura fluctuations be so gentle?
Although there were faint sounds of wind and thunder, they were neutral and peaceful. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any harmful miasma or gales.
Daoist Fangzheng smiled bitterly at her expression. "If Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't believe me, you can go down and take a look yourself."
Mo Tiange's astonishment disappeared, but she soon regained her composure. She said, "No need. I presume Fellow Daoist has no reason to deceive me."
"Correct, little sister. This is the truth."
Right after she finished speaking, the "Brother Yao and his wife" Daoist Fangzheng mentioned walked over.
The woman was dressed like a married woman. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, charming, graceful, and had a smile on her face. When she spoke, her tone was soft but straightforward, giving her a very favorable impression.
Once the woman finished speaking, the male cultivator next to her frowned and said helplessly, "Little Sister Wan, this young lady's cultivation level is higher than ours, so how could you call her 'little sister' so casually?
That's too rude. "
He then turned around and cupped his hands towards Mo Tiange apologetically. "Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm really sorry. My wife is outspoken and didn't mean to offend you."
Before Mo Tiange could answer, the woman said angrily, "Big Brother Xiu, don't rush to apologize on my behalf. I'll bet with you that this little sister is really a little sister."
The conversation between the husband and wife had another layer of meaning.
The male cultivator reminded his wife that Mo Tiange's cultivation level was higher than theirs and that she might even be a bit older than them. Calling her "little sister" might be offensive, but mentioning a woman's age to her face would also offend her, so he didn't say anything.
The woman understood her husband's meaning, so she focused on "little sister".
Once the woman finished speaking, her husband asked in confusion, "How can you be so sure?"
The woman just smiled. "It's a woman's intuition."
As she spoke, she walked towards Mo Tiange then affectionately pulled her hand and asked, "Little sister, am I right or am I not?"
Mo Tiange also smiled. "May I know how old you and your wife are?
If you don't tell me, I won't be able to answer. "
The woman was stunned, but she soon covered her mouth and laughed. "Look at my brain! I actually forgot such an important matter!
My humble husband and I are only a hundred years old this year. "
Based on the lifespan of Foundation Building cultivators, this was their real appearance.
A hundred years old, early stage Foundation Building … Mo Tiange thought to herself that this couple was most likely not cultivators from small cultivation groups but individual cultivators. If they were cultivators from big cultivation groups, they were probably ordinary disciples.
Most elite disciples from big cultivation groups had built their foundation early. Although not many of them formed their Gold Core, it wasn't a problem for them to cultivate to the middle or late stage of the Foundation Building realm. Very few of them stayed in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm at this age.
"Big Sister's guess is correct." Mo Tiange showed a faint smile. "I'm a bit younger than you two."
"Oh?" Not only this couple, but Daoist Fangzheng's eyes also brightened.
She was less than a hundred years old, but her cultivation level was already in the peak of the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm …
Mo Tiange didn't want to talk too much about this, so she changed the subject. "How much do the three of you know about the situation in this valley?"
Daoist Fangzheng regained his train of thought and immediately answered, "Brother Yao, his wife, and I discovered that we couldn't pass through the miasma and gales inside, so the three of us joined hands, but the result was the same … Fellow Daoist, take a look. Although the spiritual aura isn't intense, it's very pure. It's most likely the birth of some unique treasure. It'd be a pity if we missed it!"
"Yes, us husband and wife also thought the same."
The one who took over the conversation was the woman. "Little sister, I can see you're so young, but your cultivation level is already so high. You must be a disciple of a cultivation group, right?
The three of us are individual cultivators, so it's really not easy for us to encounter the birth of a unique treasure.
If you're also interested in the treasure, we can think of a way together. If you don't want to take risks, we won't stop you.
Of course, if you think you can do it alone, just pretend you never heard our suggestion. "
