A cave dwelling?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xuan directly asked Mo Xiao, "Where do you live? Are there any vacant cave dwellings for independent cultivators nearby?"

Mo Xiao answered Lu Xuan's question without any concealment:

“Reporting to Senior Lu, I have a small mountain range where there are almost no other cultivators. You can go there and establish a cave dwelling. With your strength, I'm sure no one will dare to make things difficult for you.”

"Really? You're cultivating there too?"

"Yes, my clansmen and I have built simple cultivation caves there. There are also various wild spiritual herbs nearby, which are suitable for independent cultivators like us to live in, and we don't have to spend spirit stones."

In that case, this place is not bad; one can temporarily live in seclusion and cultivate oneself.

Let's go.

"Yes, Senior Lu."

Mo Xiao led the way.

The two soon arrived at a remote, desolate mountain on the ancient god island.

The three small hills formed a small mountain range, emanating a faint spiritual aura.

"Mo Xiao, it seems you have a good eye. This place is suitable for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate."

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he summoned his flying sword magic weapon and opened up a brand new and spacious cave in just a few breaths.

This cave dwelling not only contains an alchemy room, but also an exquisite weapon-forging room and a secluded cultivation room.

There is also a huge spirit beast chamber where he can feed his devouring demonic insects.

"Senior Lu, you are amazing! Is this the power you have after advancing to the Core Formation stage? I am so envious. When will I be able to become a strong person like you, Senior Lu?" Mo Xiao exclaimed.

"What is this? I am just a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator. Above me are mid-stage and late-stage cultivators. There are also extremely powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, Deity Transformation cultivators, and Ascension Tribulation Transcending cultivators. I am still slowly exploring the path to immortality."

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he continued to encourage Mo Xiao:

"Don't be discouraged. You have a rare Heavenly Spiritual Root. Advancing to the Core Formation stage won't be too difficult for you. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will eventually become a Core Formation cultivator."

"Oh, really? Thank you for your encouraging words, Senior Lu. But I know my own abilities; advancing to the Core Formation stage is too difficult. My only advantage is my Heavenly Spiritual Root. Senior Lu, you've broken through to the early Core Formation stage at such a young age; you must also have a Heavenly Spiritual Root!" Mo Xiao guessed.

Heavenly Spiritual Root?

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's lips twitched.

If he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he would probably be a Nascent Soul stage expert by now.

Must we really say he's a cultivator with the lowest aptitude of five spiritual roots?

"To be honest, Mo Xiao, I am only a person with three... dual spiritual roots, which is not even as good as yours."

"What? Only dual spiritual roots? Senior Lu, you were just a rogue cultivator with no one to rely on, yet you managed to become a Core Formation cultivator on your own. I truly admire your perseverance and your dedication to the Dao."

This made Lu Xuan feel a little embarrassed, because he actually had five spiritual roots!

That's enough.

If I were to speak of it, I fear it would attract the attention of powerful figures.

After all, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator with five spiritual roots to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After Mo Xiao took her leave.

Lu Xuan discovered that her cave dwelling was located on another small hill.

There are also the cave dwellings of her other clansmen.

the next day.

Just as Lu Xuan was meditating peacefully in his cave.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"court death."

He withdrew his powerful divine sense.

Lu Xuan walked out of the cave.

They then flew to the front of Mo Xiao's cave.

At that moment, several sounds of arguing came from behind:

"You bunch of outsider rogue cultivators, how dare you come to our Ancient God Island to establish your own cave dwellings? Did you even ask our Rogue Cultivator Alliance beforehand?"

Mo Xiao and several of his clansmen defended themselves, saying:

“We’ve investigated and found that this small mountain range has no owner and doesn’t seem to be your loose cultivator alliance’s territory. This place was the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul stage loose cultivator hundreds of years ago, and your loose cultivator alliance wouldn’t dare to make a move here.”

"It's just that that Nascent Soul cultivator has been missing for decades, and only now do you dare to come here to make things difficult for us, trying to seize this place. But you're overthinking it; there's no such cave dwelling left by that Nascent Soul cultivator here at all."

Hearing Mo Xiao's words.

The leader of the opposing loose cultivator alliance, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, looked grim and said:

“No, every part of our Ancient God Island belongs to our Loose Cultivator Alliance. Since that Nascent Soul stage Loose Cultivator senior hasn’t appeared for decades, this small mountain range will be taken back by our Loose Cultivator Alliance. You can leave now. Also, leave your storage bags behind. I’m afraid you’ll steal that Nascent Soul stage Loose Cultivator senior’s treasures.”

After speaking, the mid-stage Core Formation cultivator from the Loose Cultivator Alliance released his mid-stage Core Formation aura.

This made Mo Xiao and the others feel immense pressure and a sense of urgency.

I almost lost my balance.

Is this the strength of a Core Formation stage cultivator?

Among them, Mo Xiao, who had the highest cultivation level, was only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now.

Mo Xiao and his group were simply unable to resist.

Just then, Lu Xuan appeared.

"The Loose Cultivator Alliance? You've got quite the nerve."

"Huh, early stage of Core Formation?"

The middle-aged cultivator leading the mid-stage Core Formation Loose Cultivator Alliance opposite them, upon seeing Lu Xuan's cultivation aura, spoke with slightly more politeness:

"Since you are at the early stage of Core Formation, I can grant you permission to take your storage bag, but I need to check it first."

"Heh, since I embarked on the path of cultivation, no one has ever been able to inspect my storage bag. So what are you?"

"What? You are so arrogant! Don't you know the strength of our Ancient God Island Loose Cultivator Alliance? Let alone your early Core Formation stage, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to think twice before attacking."

"Yeah?"

Lu Xuan said dismissively, "As far as I know, the few Nascent Soul Grand Elders in your Loose Cultivator Alliance are practically just figureheads. They only have a few late-stage Core Formation Elders below them, who are just giving you face."

To be honest, Lu Xuan didn't really take ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators seriously.

"Since that's how you are, then don't blame me, Master Kumu, for being ruthless. Here's my low-grade magic weapon, the Kumu Sword!"

The mid-stage Core Formation cultivator from the opposing Loose Cultivator Alliance instantly summoned a low-grade magic weapon flying sword called the Withered Wood Sword, a sword magic weapon crafted from over nine hundred rare spiritual materials.

"Taiyi Sword".

Lu Xuan followed closely behind and summoned his low-grade peak magic weapon, the Taiyi Sword.

"You're also a sword cultivator?"

"You also possess a low-grade peak-level flying sword magic weapon? Which righteous sword-cultivating sect do you come from?"

Hearing the other party's probing.

Lu Xuan completely ignored him.

The Taiyi Sword was drawn, unleashing an unstoppable power.

The Taiyi Sword, which contains some Devouring Divine Metal, is far more powerful than an ordinary low-grade magic weapon flying sword.

In just a few rounds.

A crisp metallic sound followed, followed by a snapping sound.

The treasured low-grade flying sword of the mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, Master Kumu, had fallen to the ground, broken into two pieces, devoid of any spiritual energy, and dull and lifeless.

"Ah! My flying sword, a treasure I have painstakingly crafted for thirty years."

With a heart full of pain, Master Kumu summoned a life-saving late-stage Core Formation talisman and prepared to fight Lu Xuan to the death.
