"Is it confirmed?" Ancestor Jin Kai and Ancestor Ren Xun stared at the Great Elder You Xia in front of them and asked with a little excitement.

Ten years have passed in this barren land of the Northern Shu Continent. The two Nascent Soul ancestors are not living comfortably. They are watched by eight Nascent Soul early stage cultivators every day and can only stay on Yongle Island.

They gave a time limit, which was twenty years. If they could not find the cave left by the great Zhai Ge even after investing a lot of manpower and resources within twenty years, then they would leave the Northern Shu continent.

The matter of the cave heaven of the great Zhai Ge is nothing but speculation. It is bearable to spend twenty years on it, but if it takes longer, it will be more trouble than gain.

Who would have thought that only ten years had passed and there was already news? The two Nascent Soul ancestors suppressed their excitement. There had been many good news over the years, but they all turned into disappointment in the end.

Great Elder You Xia's face was also flushed. Because the Northern Shu Continent was too strange, the Great Elder Sword Cultivator and the Great Elder Body Refiner both died in the Northern Shu Continent. Tianxing Trading Company's arrangement for him became to be responsible for management work.

You must know that even in other continents, the Great Elder of Sword Cultivation and the Great Elder of Body Refining are definitely the strongest beings in the Golden Core Stage as long as the Nascent Soul Ancestor does not take action.

Even though Tianxing Trading Company was a large and powerful company, it had to protect Elder Youxia after losing two top elders in succession.

His most important job at present is to manage the intelligence of going out to search for caves.

"We have sent people over to confirm it. The spatial fluctuations there are extremely powerful, far beyond the reach of any abandoned mansion!" Great Elder Youxia replied with certainty.

The benefit this time was that even if he didn't get anything from the cave, he could still get more resources for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage from Tianxing Trading Company, thus increasing his chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

After receiving this information, he sent out his most reliable men.

Originally, he planned to go there by himself, but Great Elder Sun Ao had died while going to investigate. Tianxing Trading Company suspected that some powerful being had targeted them and was intentionally targeting their Great Elder.

Patriarch Jin Kai nodded, his gaze fell on the front, where less than a thousand miles away was the stronghold where eight Nascent Soul early stage cultivators were located.

Although he did not use any detection methods, he could still sense the presence of eight Nascent Soul early stage cultivators.

"Let's get ready to go!" Patriarch Jin Kai turned around and instructed Patriarch Ren Xun.

"Follow Master Jin's orders!" Elder Ren Xun responded with his head down.

Ancestor Jin Kai and Ancestor Ren Xun took out a wooden puppet at the same time. They each cast a spell at the wooden puppet in front of them, and a faint breath rose from the wooden puppet.

At the same time, the two Nascent Soul ancestors activated their secret technique and concealed their own auras.

The aura of the two wooden dolls is the same as that of the two Nascent Soul ancestors. Of course, if you are close, you can still distinguish them, but at a distance of nearly a thousand miles, it is impossible to find the difference without using secret methods to detect.

As long as Beishu Continent and Tianxing Trading Company are not preparing for a major war in the Nascent Soul stage, they will not use secret methods to detect each other. This has been the tacit understanding between the two sides for the past ten years.

"Youxia, you should follow them too!" Patriarch Jin Kai looked at Elder Youxia again, thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, ancestor!" A look of ecstasy flashed in the eyes of Great Elder You Xia, and he bowed in response.

A middle-Nascent Soul stage cultivator and an early-Nascent Soul stage cultivator were allowed to stay in the Northern Shu Continent for ten years, during which time a large amount of second- and third-grade resources were spent to bribe local cultivators.

Not to mention that Tianxing Trading Company had previously lost an early Nascent Soul cultivator who had mastered offensive magical powers, as well as a false Nascent Soul cultivator here.

All of these are just for the cave left behind by the great Zhai Ge. It can be seen that the importance of this cave is worth the huge price paid by Tianxing Trading Company.

Great Elder You Xia understood that Patriarch Jin Kai was willing to take him along because of his hard work over the years.

Patriarch Jin Kai took out a small shuttle-shaped flying boat. The shuttle-shaped flying boat floated in front of him and quickly grew larger until it was large enough to accommodate three people.

He entered first, followed by Elder Ren Xun, and finally Elder You Xia.

The surface of the shuttle-shaped flying boat flashed with light, and after flying out of Yongle Island, it plunged into the sea.

During this process, the energy fluctuations revealed by the shuttle-shaped flying boat were extremely weak. Even the aura emitted by a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage was stronger than that of the shuttle-shaped flying boat.

After the shuttle-shaped flying boat entered the sea, it immediately merged with the sea water, just like a drop of water falling into the sea. The existence of the shuttle-shaped flying boat could not be seen at all.

Li Yuanba woke up from his training and found himself on the mountain of Sword Ancestor. After walking out of his temporary cave, he sensed something was wrong.

Although the aura of Ancestor Sword could be sensed in the main cave above the mountain.

But he felt a slight difference. Since it had not been long since Patriarch Jian was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, his aura was not very steady. Unless Patriarch Jian had made great progress in strength recently, his aura should not have become as extremely stable as it was today, so stable that it was almost stagnant.

Only because he was inside the great formation on the mountain and was particularly familiar with the aura of Old Ancestor Sword, could he discover this difference.

"Has the master gone out?" he judged in his heart.

He immediately contacted his original body Li Shiming. His original body Li Shiming had a brain that had been paying attention to the situation on the Yongle battlefield through the drone satellite system.

The original body Li Shiming did not notice the scene of Sword Ancestor leaving. Of course, there are still many ways for a Nascent Soul Ancestor to hide his body and leave.

The drone satellite system is not omnipotent. When the Yuanying ancestor intentionally hides, monitoring becomes extremely difficult.

However, when Li Shiming's life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 retrieved the data from the drone satellite system, he found that half a day ago, a large group of blurred space images appeared thousands of miles away.

That blurred scene in space could only be created by the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Moreover, that large blurred image of space was not caused by one Yuanying ancestor, but by multiple Yuanying ancestors traveling together, which resulted in such a formation.

Li Yuanba, taking advantage of his identity, approached the mountains of several other Nascent Soul ancestors.

He was quite familiar with the aura of Ancestor Zuo and Ancestor Lu. Through analysis with the help of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, he also found that the aura of these Nascent Soul ancestors was somewhat different from usual.

It would be fine if this happened to an old ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage, but it might be a change caused by external influences.

But it is not a simple matter for multiple Nascent Soul ancestors to do this at the same time.

"All eight Nascent Soul ancestors of the stronghold have been dispatched? But they did not go to Yongle Island, so where did they go?" Li Yuanba wondered in his heart.

If the eight Nascent Soul ancestors went to Yongle Island, it would be impossible for it to be as quiet as it is now.

"Could it be?" He was shocked and thought of a possibility.

Li Shiming has already left the mountain gate. His goal is the direction where countless Nascent Soul ancestors are moving together. He doesn't know where these Nascent Soul ancestors' destination is, but he just needs to keep getting closer.

While tracking, he made another discovery. The movement speed of these Nascent Soul ancestors was not right. They moved so fast that even he could barely keep up with them using 'Lotus Step by Step'.

You should know that his 'Lotus with Every Step' is very different from the 'Lotus with Every Step' of normal divine feet ability. His 'Lotus with Every Step' is stimulated by multiple brains at the same time, making 'Lotus with Every Step' in a continuous state without any interruption.

This allowed him to use 'Lotus Step by Step' several times faster than other magical powers, but it was difficult for him to keep up with those Nascent Soul ancestors at this speed, which meant that they were also using the magical power.

He thought of the Yuanying ancestor of the Northern Shu Continent, and formed a formation to merge with Venerable Huike, who then used the 'A World Away' method of movement.

He could be sure that those Nascent Soul ancestors should be the eight Nascent Soul ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent.

I just don't know why these eight Nascent Soul ancestors made this secret trip?

That was Li Shiming. If it were any other cultivator, it would be impossible to track down an ordinary Nascent Soul ancestor, let alone a Nascent Soul ancestor who was using 'A World Away' to travel.

In fact, as for following the Nascent Soul Patriarch, ordinary cultivators only need to glance at the Nascent Soul Patriarch from afar to arouse the Nascent Soul Patriarch's sensitivity.

Li Shiming used the drone satellite system, a method that had nothing to do with the world of immortal cultivation, to prevent the Yuanying Patriarch from noticing that he was being monitored.

"It's been ten years. What exactly has Tianxing Trading Company been looking for?" Patriarch Lu used his spiritual power to suppress his voice so that his voice could only be heard by the other seven Nascent Soul ancestors.

The six major sects and Beishu Trading Company are the top forces in Beishu Continent. The six major sects have ruled Beishu Continent for more than ten thousand years.

There is no way that Tianxing Trading Company could hide its every move from the six major sects.

The six major sects just wanted to see the purpose of Tianxing Trading Company. For this reason, they tolerated Tianxing Trading Company's behavior of recruiting local cultivators and did not take any action against these cultivators who betrayed the Northern Shu Continent.

Although the six major sects usually appear to be high and mighty, in fact their intelligence is spread throughout every corner of the entire Northern Shu continent.

After so many local cultivators returned from the Yongle battlefield, not only did their strength suddenly increase, they also continued to roam around everywhere. How could they not be known by the intelligence systems of the six major sects?

It is precisely with the permission of the six major sects that Tianxing Trading Company has been able to conduct investigations in various places over the past ten years.

Just a day ago, the intelligence system received an important piece of information that the local cultivators in Wulang Mountain seemed to have discovered something. After that, a Jindan cultivator from Tianxing Trading Company came by and stayed in Wulang Mountain for a long time. He has not left until now.

It was not the first time that the intelligence system of the six major sects discovered that the local cultivators who had been bribed had been reported to the Tianxing Trading Company. However, in previous reports, a Jindan cultivator who came to the Tianxing Trading Company would leave quickly and had never stayed for as long as this time.

In addition, based on the information received from Yongle Island, Great Elder Youxia attached great importance to this discovery.

Yes, the six major sects had developed intelligence to Yongle Island, and some intelligence personnel had infiltrated Yongle Island by defecting. With the deliberate cultivation of the intelligence system, one intelligence personnel even reached a position close to that of Great Elder Youxia.

"Just go and take a look and you'll know. The Jindan cultivator from Tianxing Trading Company is setting up a formation there. I'm afraid he has found something this time!" Patriarch Zhan said with a smile.

His eyes were shining. The resources in the Northern Shu Continent were too scarce, leaving them, the Nascent Soul ancestors, with no hope of moving forward.

He had never thought about what else in the Northern Shu Continent could be of interest to Tianxing Trading Company.

In the past, they did not have an accurate assessment of the strength of Tianxing Trading Company, but since the arrival of Patriarch Jin Kai, they realized that Tianxing Trading Company was definitely a super powerful force.

There is not a single mid-Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Beishu Continent, but Tianxing Trading Company is able to send a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. This is the gap.

He was extremely curious about what secret a force like Tianxing Trading Company could possibly have so much as to send a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

In his opinion, the only things that could be valued by a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul were resources that were of great use to the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

If these resources were obtained by the six major sects, perhaps they could give these Nascent Soul ancestors a glimmer of hope for advancement.

The advancement from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage is not just an improvement in realm and cultivation. Once the Nascent Soul stage is promoted to the middle stage, its lifespan will increase significantly, which is the most important thing.

"Of course I found it!" said Old Ancestor Zuo with great certainty.

He was the one who proposed the full-scale mobilization this time. He was the first to point out that the intelligence about Wulang Mountain was different from the previous ones. Based on the principle of striking first, they planned to uncover the secrets there before Tianxing Trading Company.

Even the silent Venerable Huike was excited. If they could really find resources at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, perhaps they could solve the problem of Qianye Temple's recent decline in strength.

If Qianye Temple produces an old ancestor who is in the middle stage of Venerable, Qianye Temple will return to the first-tier status among the major sects.

Of course, for this operation, the eight Nascent Soul ancestors signed a contract, which states that they will fully cooperate during the operation and will not do anything that puts personal interests above public interest.

The contract has clear divisions in terms of profit distribution, combat arrangements, etc.

The reason why other Nascent Soul ancestors of the major sects were not notified of this action was that, on the one hand, the information was still their speculation and had not been confirmed.

On the other hand, and most importantly, the Nascent Soul ancestors of each major sect need to stay in the sect.

The Northern Shu continent is not peaceful nowadays. A powerful enemy, one in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and the other in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, are looking around the Northern Shu continent. Without the corresponding self-protection power, the thousand-year foundations of the major sects may be lost.

In addition, the Yuanying ancestors also have some selfish motives. If they get more resources, they will hand over a part of it to the sect, but if it is very little, then it will naturally be divided among the eight Yuanying ancestors.

Venerable Huike's speed of "so close yet so far away" increased a little. He wanted to reach Wulang Mountain as soon as possible, and he felt urgent.
