Finally, he used a secret technique to self-destruct his primordial spirit, escaping the impact of the explosion. However, due to the severity of his injuries, coupled with Huang Taiji's kick, the grandmaster ultimately perished. That wisp of primordial spirit was left behind by the patriarch, and this jade disc was a record of the patriarch's sect's cultivation techniques. The patriarch took Huang Taiji as his disciple, intending for Huang Taiji to avenge him in the future, but in the end, it benefited that brat Huang Taiji.
The ancestor cultivated the ancient demonic path's Golden Immortal's Great Art of the Heavenly Demon God. That Golden Immortal was exceptionally intelligent. The demonic path was founded by the Blood Sea Styx Ancestor. The Golden Immortal combined the Styx Ancestor's techniques with the Heavenly Demon Fire of the Ancestral Witches from the primordial era, adding his own insights, to master the Heavenly Demon God Great Art. At its peak, it rivaled the power of a Great Witch, and could absorb the primordial spirits of others to gain spiritual power. What set it apart from other demonic cultivation methods was that this technique used the Heavenly Demon Fire to refine the primordial spirits of others into pure spiritual power, allowing for direct absorption without fear of demonic possession due to incompatibility with the individual's own spiritual power, thus preventing stagnation in cultivation. However, this method required a drop of the essence blood of a member of the Witch Clan to reach its peak. In order to master this method, the Golden Immortal was forced to descend the mountain during the Investiture of the Gods, but was ultimately betrayed, his name absent from the Investiture of the Gods list, his true spirit dissipated, and he vanished from the world.
This ancestor obtained this method, and although he did not have the blood of the Wu clan, he still became a master of the Returning to Emptiness realm within two hundred years by using this technique. This shows how powerful this technique is. Huang Taiji was extremely happy. If he practiced this technique, he could become a grandmaster in a short time. At this time, only the sect leaders of Kunlun and Shushan in the Central Plains had the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm. The spiritual energy of the earth was gradually decreasing, and there were not many people who cultivated. It was even rarer to become a master. However, he did not know this at the time.
Afterwards, Huang Taiji took some refined gold from the ring. This material was stolen by his ancestor; whenever he killed someone who had pursued him, he would steal everything from the victim. As a result, Huang Taiji now possessed many top-grade materials. He casually exchanged some refined gold for money on the black market, left the city, and went to cultivate in the deep mountains of Yunnan. He dared not cultivate in the Central Plains; although there were few cultivators left, it was still quite dangerous. The deep mountains of Yunnan were teeming with monsters, and although the environment was treacherous, it was far safer in comparison.
Two months have passed. Huang Taiji has been cultivating in Yunnan for two months. During this time, the spiritual energy on Earth was indeed extremely scarce. Huang Taiji was only at the late stage of Qi Induction, thanks to the effects of the top-grade spiritual medicine in the ancestor's ring. The Kunlun Shu Mountain family was wealthy, and their disciples possessed so many good things, yet they were ultimately killed by the ancestor, benefiting Huang Taiji instead. At this moment, Huang Taiji also knew that danger was approaching him step by step.
The carefree patriarch has killed so many cultivators from the Central Plains, so the major sects will certainly not let this go unpunished, especially Mount Shu. Mount Shu has a relatively short history, and although it seems powerful now, its foundation is far inferior to that of major sects like Kunlun. The head of Mount Shu has always wanted to make the sect flourish under his leadership. Last time a treasure appeared, all the elites of Mount Shu came out, determined to seize it, but they were ambushed by the patriarch and suffered heavy losses. More than half of the sect's elites were killed, and the sect was severely weakened. They hate the carefree patriarch to the bone and searched everywhere for his whereabouts. Finally, a few days ago, they found out the news.
It turned out that Huang Taiji had encountered his dying ancestor in a garbage dump. He didn't bury the body, and it was later discovered and reported to the police. Upon learning of this, the outer disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect immediately reported to their sect leader. Later, through Black Wolf and others, they learned that Huang Taiji had been seen at the same location, but had since fled. Suspecting the treasure was in Huang Taiji's possession, they mobilized secular resources and finally located his hideout in Yunnan. The Shu Mountain Sect leader then personally set out, going alone to avoid alerting other sects. At this time, Huang Taiji was strolling around Lijiang Ancient Town. Now wealthy and having cultivated Taoism, he had the means to be arrogant. He was dressed in gleaming clothes, and the gold watch on his wrist dazzled the young women along the way. This fellow was so arrogant that some thugs tried to rob him, only to be soundly beaten up by him.
That day, he stayed at an inn in the ancient city. He even invited a beautiful young woman, intending to end his more than twenty years of virginity. After a candlelight dinner together that evening, he eagerly pulled the woman into bed. Just as he was stripping naked, ready to unleash his power, the head of the Shu Mountain sect arrived. With a single blow, he cleaved the young woman into ashes. Huang Taiji, terrified, didn't even put on his clothes and flew away. At this time, he was in the late stage of Qi Refining, and although he couldn't fly for long, it was still faster than running on foot. However, the head of the Shu Mountain sect saw that his actions suited him perfectly. He didn't want to fight in the mortal world and disturb these mortals. So he leisurely followed behind Huang Taiji. Looking at Huang Taiji's not-so-standard posture, he felt a surge of excitement. He thought that Huang Taiji's ability to reach the late stage of Qi Refining in two months was entirely due to his innate spiritual treasure. He seemed to see the future of the Shu Mountain sect, the leader of the Central Plains Daoist sect, and his excitement grew even stronger.
At this moment, Huang Taiji was in a predicament he couldn't express. His physical strength and true essence were limited. Although he was diligent, he hadn't cultivated for long enough. Besides, even if he had a few more decades, he probably wouldn't be a match for this old man. From the rumors circulating in his sect, he knew this man was the head of the Shu Mountain sect, a mid-stage Void Returning expert—a super expert on Earth. He had no chance of winning, and he couldn't surrender either, because Huang Taiji had refined the innate spiritual treasure with his blood; unless he died, no one else could obtain it. He couldn't fight him, and surrendering was out of the question. He could only try to escape this calamity by wandering around these deep mountains.
Seeing him enter the deep mountains, the Shushan Sect Leader smiled slightly. He knew what he was thinking, but it was rather foolish. A Void Returning Stage expert's divine sense could detect even a fly within a hundred miles. However, this suited his purposes perfectly. He couldn't wait any longer and slightly accelerated, overtaking Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji looked at the old man ahead, the old man laughing wildly, and his despair grew. At this moment, his thuggish nature resurfaced. Even if he couldn't beat him, he wouldn't let him get away with it. He took out his gourd, held it above his head for protection, and then took out his ancestor's magic weapon—a sword—and got into a fighting stance. He charged towards the Shushan Sect Leader, but before he could reach him, he was blasted away.
