"I never expected that someone would specifically clean the residence of our Immortal Sect."
Leaving Tianyun Inn, Lu Tao casually glanced at the mansion where he had once stayed and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The mansion was spotless, practically immaculate.
Everything inside the mansion was exactly the same as when they left, and there were even formations set up to prevent anyone from breaking into the mansion and damaging the things inside.
"Lord Shen is very kind."
Lu Tao smiled inwardly, then said to the Immortal Sect disciples in the cave: "Disciples who have arrived in Mufeng City and are going home to visit their families may come out now, but they must not reveal too much of their cultivation. We will meet again in two hours."
Since we've finally made it back to Mufeng City, let these little guys go home for a visit.
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Xu Le, Zhang Chao, and the others, all wearing invisibility cloaks, flew out of the cave and headed home.
The same applies to some other disciples who have families.
As for disciples such as Li Shuyao and Luo Yu, they also flew out of the cave and returned to their former homes.
However, there were no family members left at home.
At this moment, they felt only loneliness and missed their loved ones. They stood or sat, their expressions blank and sorrowful.
"well!"
Lu Tao's clone watched all this and could only sigh silently.
Several clones stayed by the three- or four-year-old toddler's side, afraid that the little guy would lose control of his emotions and expose himself.
but.
Lu Tao was overthinking it. These little ones were quite resilient and not too sad. They just crawled around and lay down here and there at home, just like before...
Recalling everything that had happened, he showed no trace of the deity he once was.
A moment later.
To Lu Tao's surprise, all the little ones sat silently on their doorsteps, chins propped up, eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought.
Their movements were surprisingly synchronized.
Lu Tao shook his head and didn't disturb them.
In recent days, He Zongming, Xia Qing, Zhou Yulan and others have spent a lot of time counseling the disciples, believing that they can manage their emotions.
In fact.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect have been praying to the statues of deities during this period, hoping to dream of their loved ones.
Therefore, most disciples gradually found peace in their hearts. This peace was not about letting go of hatred, but about emerging from the grief of losing loved ones.
——
"Le'er, why are you back?"
In Dafeng Town, the mayor and his family were overjoyed to see Xu Le return home, but their joy quickly turned to worry.
They worried that Xu Le might have made a mistake and been sent back by the Immortal Sect.
otherwise.
How did Xu Le get back in less than a month?
Going home to visit relatives shouldn't be this soon.
Xu Le hurriedly explained and slightly revealed his strength at the Innate Realm, which made the family go from worry to joy.
"Good, good, you must follow Sect Master Lu closely, this is the greatest opportunity of your life."
The town mayor excitedly grabbed Xu Le, repeatedly instructing him, "You must be obedient. Do whatever Sect Master Lu tells you to do. Listen more, think more, do more, maintain good relationships with your fellow disciples, and don't offend anyone..."
The mayor went on and on.
Not only him, but Xu Le's parents were the same.
They knew that such an opportunity was hard-won and didn't want Xu Le to miss it.
In less than a month, he had already reached the Innate Realm. If it weren't for the fact that he lived in the same town as Lu Tao, Xu Le would never have had such an opportunity.
"Father, Mother, Grandfather, don't worry, I know all of this."
Xu Le listened to his family's instructions without the slightest impatience. Instead, he took them to heart and said, "The sect leader treats us very well. We just focus on cultivation and don't need to worry about anything else."
Xu Le also selected some interesting stories about his fellow disciples to tell his family, which put the town mayor and the others at ease.
A moment later.
Xu Le used his own vital energy and essence to cleanse his family members' bodies and guide them in cultivation...
The family was enjoying a happy time together.
The same applies to the other seven households in Dafeng Town.
——
On the other side of Dafeng Town.
Lu Tao, accompanied by the big black dog Xiaotianquan, He Yuanshuang, and Wu Ming, arrived at the two graves on the back mountain and carefully cleared away the surrounding weeds.
Originally, Lu Tao didn't want Wu Ming to come, but the little guy said he wanted to come and pay his respects to his uncle and aunt.
Lu Tao let him have his way.
After clearing away the weeds, the three people and the dog respectfully offered incense and paid their respects to Lu Tao's parents.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Wu Tianyou, Mr. and Mrs. He Wenjing, and several others also arrived at the back mountain...
"Let's go."
After offering incense, everyone else returned to their cave. Lu Tao then said to the big black dog, "Xiaotian, smell Qi Gan's scent."
"good!"
The Celestial Dog nodded.
Then, with a sudden sniff, countless breaths flowed into the big black dog's nose.
Lu Tao returned to Mufeng City this time to help his disciples take revenge, so naturally he had to find the whereabouts of Qi Gan and Shen Tu Nan, and this would require relying on the big black dog's nose.
He Yuanshuang had previously obtained some Bloodline Fruits from the harvest of the demon race.
This bloodline fruit is only effective on demons, but it also works on demonic beasts.
Bloodline Fruit can purify the bloodline of demons and enhance their racial talents.
The black dog's racial talent is its sense of smell, which becomes stronger as its cultivation level increases.
now--
The big black dog was already a powerful cultivator at the Divine Platform level. It could not only detect a cultivator's personal aura, but also their spiritual aura.
Of course, that alone is not enough.
after all.
In the early stages of the Divine Platform, the distance that the power of the divine soul can scan is only one or two hundred miles. Even if the black dog's racial talent is improved, it cannot smell hundreds or thousands of miles away.
At this time, Qi Gan and Shen Tu Nan were most likely in the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom, which was still quite far from Mu Feng City.
but--
If the black dog's racial talent were increased several times over, this distance would naturally not be a problem.
To enhance racial talents, besides Bloodline Fruits, one must rely on the Divine Altar.
That's right.
The altar within the Divine Altar Secret Realm is used to refine items from fragments of the altar.
【Talent Altar: 2.5 billion / 10 trillion (Fifth-tier altar, can consume soul energy to enhance the talent of living beings and temper their souls)
The current Talent Altar can increase talent fivefold and temper the soul five times.
Note: Each living being can only be tempered and upgraded once on each level of the divine platform.
This was crafted from fragments of a demon's altar, and after being upgraded, it can now enhance talent fivefold.
If this gets out, it will definitely cause a sensation.
The fragments of the altars of the Great Gan and the Demon Clan were also refined into two items by Lu Tao.
One is the Enlightenment Altar, and the other is the Comprehension Altar, both with the same effect as before.
As their level increases, their effects also improve.
Like the Talent Platform, they are all fifth-tier. The Enlightenment Platform can enable one to comprehend a high-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique, while the Comprehension Platform can increase comprehension fivefold.
The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy.
Using them requires a large amount of soul energy. Even now, with a large number of Soul Refining Fish, it is still not enough to allow all Immortal Sect disciples to upgrade once.
It can only be used by elders and some disciples for the time being.
Furthermore, their levels have not yet been upgraded to Tier 3 due to their limited use.
Their experience, like that of cave dwellings and statues, starts at 10,000. Each time they advance to the next level, their experience increases a hundredfold. Reaching the third level is extremely difficult.
certainly--
Comprehension, talent, and the tempering of the soul all received a fivefold increase, which is already an exaggerated effect.
This means that Lu Tao created three almost identical secret realms using only fragments of the Divine Platform.
Even more incredibly, it can be used without any challenge; it's completely effortless.
It's worth mentioning that when Lu Tao wanted to combine the three altar fragments to create an altar and pray to the gods, he discovered that it required countless faith points, which frightened him so much that he quickly stopped the idea.
With the talent altar completed, the big black dog also ascended the altar to enhance its racial talent.
in this way--
After the black dog's racial talent increased fivefold, coupled with the tracking and exploration techniques it obtained from the demon race, it could smell the aura of the person it wanted to search for, even if the person was thousands of miles away and their soul aura was very well concealed.
Lu Tao and the big black dog were not very familiar with Qi Gan.
They didn't know about Qi Gan's spiritual aura, but Kong Xin did.
Qi Gan was once the second prefect of Yongkang Prefecture. Kong Xin was very familiar with him and they even had each other's communication marks, which were spiritual imprints.
The big black dog sensed Qi Gan's spiritual aura through the divine imprint. At this moment, it was using its racial talent to track Qi Gan's whereabouts.
In just ten breaths, the big black dog transmitted its voice with a strange look in its eyes: "Atao, that dog Qi Gan... no, that guy Qi Gan, he came to Dafeng Town before, but now, his aura is in the direction of the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom."
"If you call me Atao again, believe me, I'll kill you and eat dog meat."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao gritted his teeth and glared angrily at the big black dog.
The big black dog barked twice and said, "Don't go too far. I used to call you Taozi. I've already backed down."
"You used to just bark, who knows what you were saying?"
Lu Tao complained, then squinted his eyes, his gaze gradually turning dangerous, and said, "Either call me Sect Master, or call me Master Tao or Master Lu. You choose one."
The big black dog tentatively asked, "Can't I call him Brother Tao? Or Big Brother?"
"cannot!"
Lu Tao's attitude was firm.
The big black dog hesitated, not wanting to speak, but under Lu Tao's gaze, it finally gave in and whispered, "Alright, Sect Master."
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."
Lu Tao snorted coldly, then asked, "Qi Gan has only been to Dafeng Town? He hasn't been to Mufeng City?"
The big black dog said, "He's been there too. He's explored the entire area within a thousand miles."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao fell into deep thought.
Clearly, Qi Gan had investigated him during this period.
Fortunately, this guy was only investigating secretly and didn't do anything out of line.
"In the ancient barbarian kingdom? This time, let's see how you escape."
Lu Tao remained calm, but his killing intent was intense.
Qi Gan and Shen Tu Nan were already on Lu Tao's kill list. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died because of these two; they deserved to die.
Of course, the culprit—Shan Yu—would not be let off the hook either.
However, with the big black dog only at the Divine Platform Realm, it's too difficult for him to find Shan Yu, who is at the Perfect Martial King Realm.
It will probably take until it advances to Martial King, or even Martial God, before it can find Shan Yu.
"metropolitan!"
Before long, Xu Le, Zhang Chao, and others arrived one after another to join Lu Tao.
They didn't stay home for long, not because they didn't want to, but because their parents urged them and didn't want to take up too much of Lu Tao's time.
actually--
The town mayor, Zhang Quan, and others all wanted to thank Lu Tao in person, but since Lu Tao did not appear, they did not want to rush over. They simply bowed in gratitude from afar in this direction.
"You all return to your cave."
Lu Tao took the group into his cave and soon returned to Mufeng City.
By this time, most of the disciples had already gathered. They did not stay at home for too long; it seemed that the longer they stayed, the sadder they became.
The time that follows.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect returned one after another within the agreed time.
then--
Lu Tao led his disciples and flew towards the border.
