Chapter 947: Chapter 75: The Secret of Cultivators (Part 2)

Zhang Xiaoman said.

Pei Laoliu nodded and analyzed:

“It seems this map does indeed have some royal connections, and their destination is likely the same as ours…”

The “they” he mentioned refers to the elite soldiers they encountered yesterday, also responsible for the massacre of East Origin Village.

After Zhang Xiaoman suppressed these individuals yesterday, Yan Jiantong extracted that general from them and procured their true purpose here through special means.

Turns out, this group belongs to Prince Feng.

They received orders that some secrets related to the Immortal family are hidden here, and Prince Feng hopes they can come to unveil them.

Besides that, Zhang Xiaoman and others received a shocking revelation.

Prince Feng seeks this connection to immortality to ensure the success of his rebellion plans.

That’s why they were so cautious, slaughtering all eyewitnesses along the way.

However, this matter doesn’t really concern them.

Zhang Xiaoman and Pei Laoliu originated from Water Blue Star, and their focus is mostly on the path of cultivation in this world, having no interest in royal affairs.

Yan Jiantong, being from the martial world, similarly is not interested in royal power struggles.

He merely wishes to follow these two in hopes of pursuing the chance of immortality.

But for Li Qiang and Li Mu, upon hearing this news, a trace of different emotion flickered in their eyes.

It’s not that they wish to become the Emperor; rather, upon learning the true mastermind behind these culprits, they began to formulate new plans in their minds.

No matter the original owner’s connection with the royal family of this world, it all has since become irrelevant.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman was using the Star Network Terminal to project the map’s indicated area, a distance of over a hundred kilometers which he can reach within minutes.

“Master Liu, wait here for me, I’ll go check it out and return shortly.”

With those words, he unleashed the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, bid farewell to Pei Laoliu, and flew straight north of East Origin Village.

The intelligence experts of the Star Alliance provided the general location recorded in the map, requiring him to search more thoroughly.

The speed of Sword Control Technique was swift, and Zhang Xiaoman continued to fly at low altitude with Spiritual Vision, fearing he might accidentally miss any relevant spot.

Upon arriving in this world, he immediately noticed differences from Water Blue Star.

The concentration of Dark Energy particles here seemed significantly higher than in his own world.

Here, whether cultivating or recovering Dark Energy, the speed was notably faster than within Water Blue Star.

Zhang Xiaoman speculated this might be why demon beasts existed in this world.

These demon beasts also utilize Dark Energy, and according to legends, demon beasts and cultivators are often intertwined with Spiritual Energy.

Thus, in different terms, isn’t the richness of Dark Energy also a representation of Spiritual Energy?

With this thought, his own hypothesis became even clearer.

Now it only required verification of the final step to confirm its veracity.

Upon reaching the location, Zhang Xiaoman commenced a sweeping search in the surroundings.

His Spiritual Vision range is much broader than Pei Laoliu’s Spirit Detection Technique, making the search relatively easier.

After some time searching, he couldn’t identify any peculiarities, instead coming across a black bear emanating Dark Energy Fluctuations.

“With Dark Energy Fluctuations, it should be considered a Bear Demon…”

Zhang Xiaoman descended, attempting to closely observe the creature.

The black bear appeared almost twice the size of an average brown bear, standing over 4 meters tall.

Just from its appearance, it was evidently no ordinary beast.

Despite its current fearful demeanor.

Though it had newly awakened Spiritual Wisdom and remained somewhat bewildered, upon sighting Zhang Xiaoman, it felt a profound pressure emanating from him.

The immense Dark Energy Fluctuation was the most frightening encounter in its life.

Compared to its usual rival, a white tiger, was as harmless as a kitten beside him.

Zhang Xiaoman walked up, gently placing his hand on its forehead to sense the energy.

“It is indeed Dark Energy Fluctuation, but the intensity is very weak; it seems it awakened not long ago…”

He murmured, closing his eyes to ponder.

Evidently, this world lacks Enlightenment Array.

These demon beasts likely awakened Dark Energy due to the surrounding environment.

If he could uncover their awakening secrets, he just might return to Water Blue Star, using this method to mass-produce awakened demon beasts, and even humans…

Moreover, transcendents created in this manner differ fundamentally from those awakened with Enlightenment Array.

No need to rely on the System’s power; post-awakening, they won’t be added to his gang’s member list, nor will there be a need to expend Star Dust to expand the populace…

With this realization, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but show a hint of eagerness.

This way, he can rapidly enhance Water Blue Star’s overall strength.

Providing an alternative to combat alien species aside from high-tech weaponry.

Compared to Awakeners, these beings seemed more closely resembling Cultivators, or perhaps they could be termed Dark Spirits.

Meanwhile, the massive Bear Demon dared not move, trembling as it eyed this human.

Despite the man’s size being only half of its own, it didn’t dare make any movement.

The instinctive animal intuition told it that the person before could effortlessly crush it.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t trouble this Bear Demon.

Upon inspecting its physique, he stepped back onto his Flying Sword and departed.

Soon after, he discovered several demon beasts, more numerous than outside.

He had a premonition.

Where demon beasts exist, it signifies dense Spiritual Energy nearby, potentially hiding legendary Spirit Veins.

Continuing north for approximately ten kilometers, Zhang Xiaoman finally sensed a peculiar fluctuation in the space.

In his Spiritual Vision perception, the scene ahead appeared vastly different than what he saw with his naked eyes.

With ordinary sight, there stood a towering mountain’s cliff.

Yet, under his Spiritual Vision, there wasn’t a mountain at all, but a blurred Dark Energy Barrier.

This mountain is merely a Blinding Technique.

“Found it!”

Zhang Xiaoman expressed excitement.

The immortal fate recorded in the map is indeed here!

Judging by the surroundings, it’s likely the former cultivation sect of a cultivator!

Suppressing his excitement, he didn’t immediately fly over but tossed several stones from afar.

According to various xianxia novels, sect territories such as these typically possess protective arrays around their mountain gates.

Rushing in carelessly would lead to disastrous outcomes.

The mountain being an illusion indicates the mountain gate’s array hasn’t faded, so charging blindly is unwise.

As expected, the stones didn’t penetrate the array.

Instead, they rebounded as if colliding with an invisible barrier.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned and contemplated, seeking a way in.

The map should have instructions to enter.

Otherwise, no opportunity for immortal fate, it just invites one to march hundreds of miles to face death.

Yet, revealing the secrets requires returning to Water Blue Star, having experts decipher it fully, but this will consume too much time.

Zhang Xiaoman mulled over, considering playing it safe, first probing from a distance.

If unsuccessful, then he’ll return for experts to decode it, following the specified method to enter.
