However, when Xing Jue returned to Wolong City with his original body, he found out that none of the people who had been devoured by the Cloud Ghost Old Man were dead. Even Fang Tianhua, who had been knocked unconscious in the Unknown Domain, was still alive.
However, when Xing Jue returned, the various forces had also left Wolong City. Only Zhou Buran remained in Wolong City, searching for Xing Jue's whereabouts.
This news made Xing Jue feel both happy and sad. He was happy that Zhou Buran, Wu Yuan, Yao Ting, and the others were still alive, and he was sad that his enemies, Bai Ye, Lu Yuan, and the others, were still alive.
However, Xing Jue had not only obtained the Cloud Ghost Old Man's cultivation mantra, but he had also gathered the materials needed to refine a Soul Exalt's body.
As long as he successfully refined a Soul Exalt's body, Xing Jue would obtain a true Honorable Weapon. At that time, even if he had to face Bai Ye, Lu Yuan, and the others, Xing Jue would not be afraid.
"Junior Xing Jue, it's great that you're alright. I thought something had happened to you." Zhou Buran finally relaxed when he saw Xing Jue.
"Senior Zhou, I'm relieved to see that you're fine." Xing Jue smiled. He had thought that Zhou Buran had died, but now that he was alive, Xing Jue was in a good mood.
Then, Xing Jue and Zhou Buran rode the mechanical jade crane back to Hermit Peak. On the way back, Xing Jue was surprised to find that the Human Key was still there, and it had changed quite a bit.
Xing Jue tried to refine it. After all, it had absorbed the power of many experts. What surprised Xing Jue the most was that he could really refine it.
Moreover, with the help of the Human Key, Xing Jue actually broke through the barrier between the Shura Martial Master and the Shura Wu Zun in one fell swoop, leaping into the Beginner Shura Wu Zun level. This made Xing Jue extremely happy.
However, when he thought about it, it was not an exaggeration. Putting aside the fact that the Human Key contained a lot of Asura Wu Zun's lifelong cultivation results, it also contained a lot of Yao Ting and Wu Yuan's cultivation. Just helping Xing Jue break through to Asura Wu Zun was not enough for Xing Jue to feel satisfied.
After a few days of traveling, Xing Jue and Zhou Buran finally returned to the Hermit Peak. At the same time, they understood the current situation of the world.
The ruins of the Cloud Ghost Old Man had collapsed, and no one had obtained his inheritance. On the contrary, nearly 300 true lineal disciples of Mount Wuzhi had died. This news had spread all over the world and caused an uproar.
At the same time, there was another piece of news that was also a hot topic in the world. It was that Fang Tianhua, who was ranked ninth on the World List, had been defeated by a true lineal disciple of the Hermit Peak. This disciple's name was Xing Jue.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, is this true? Did you really defeat Fang Tianhua? How did you do it? "This was Zhou Buran's first reaction when he heard the news.
"Ha, luck." Xing Jue chuckled.
"Oh my god, Xing Jue, did you really defeat Fang Tianhua? Now, you're ranked ninth on the World List? You're a monster. Do you want me to live?! "This was Han Feng's first reaction when he saw Xing Jue.
"Ha, luck." Xing Jue chuckled.
"You're indeed my disciple. I didn't misjudge you. However, don't be arrogant. You must continue to work hard." Elder Zhuge's first reaction was to pat Xing Jue's shoulder gently. His old face was filled with gratification.
"Yes, Master," Xing Jue promised solemnly.
"Xing Jue, this freak, defeated Fang Tianhua, a high-level Asura Martial Venerable, with his strength as a high-level Asura Martial Grandmaster? This is unbelievable. Isn't this too nature-defying?! "
"Look at you. Is it worth making such a big fuss about? If this had happened to someone else, it would be shocking. However, since it happened to Xing Jue, you should get used to it. He is a man who can create miracles. "
"Idiots, you don't understand at all. Do you know why Xing Jue is so close to Sister Fairy? In fact, they are both disciples of Returning Peak. Their strength is above Lu Yuan's. They are the true number one true disciples of Returning Peak. "
"Even Yuwen Junhao, who is number one on the Universal Ranking, is no match for them. They are now the secret weapon of Returning Peak. Do you know why Sister Fairy disappeared?"
"Actually, she wasn't confined. She has been frozen by Returning Peak. She is now receiving secret training from Grandma Silkworm. When she comes out, she will be almost invincible." This was the first reaction of the other disciples of Returning Peak. They all had different reactions.
"This man must be eliminated!" A cold voice came from a certain luxurious palace in the clouds. This was Lu Yuan's first reaction.
The news of Xing Jue defeating Fang Tianhua shook the whole world. The whole world knew the name Xing Jue and remembered it.
However, Returning Peak soon received bad news. This bad news was related to Xing Jue. Xing Jue's master, Elder Zhuge, personally delivered it to Xing Jue.
"Good news? Bad news? "Xing Jue's eyes widened as he stared at Elder Zhuge.
"That's right. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Let's hear the bad news first." Xing Jue was very calm.
"You defeated Fang Tianhua and brought glory to Returning Peak, but you brought shame to Tiandao Peak."
"Moreover, Fang Tianhua's injuries are very serious. He is still unconscious. He is the most outstanding disciple of Tiandao Peak after Yuwen Haoyu and Bai Ye."
"So, Tiandao Peak said that if anything happens to Fang Tianhua, they will definitely find you," Elder Zhuge said.
"Fang Tianhua is unconscious? No way? I held back that day. " Xing Jue was shocked. He felt that there was something strange about this. However, he smiled and asked, "Find me? How do they want to find me?"
"A life for a life." Elder Zhuge smiled and added, "Returning Peak will not be so cowardly that we will let our outstanding disciple be punished by others."
"So, don't worry. Even if Fang Tianhua really can't hold on, Returning Peak will definitely protect you."
"Even if Returning Peak doesn't protect you, I will definitely protect you, even if I have to go against the world."
Elder Zhuge's words were full of determination. It warmed Xing Jue's heart and made him feel touched.
His master was really nice to him. If it wasn't for his master protecting him that day, he would probably have ended up like Bao 'er. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
"Master, can you tell me how Bao 'er is now? Is he dead or not? "Xing Jue asked again. He really wanted to know Bao 'er's whereabouts.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Elder Zhuge frowned slightly. He then sighed and said, "She is under house arrest by Grandma Tiancan.
Although she has lost her freedom, her life will not be in danger. After all, Grandma Tiancan likes her very much. "
"That's great." Hearing that, Xing Jue was overjoyed. A huge stone in his heart had finally been lifted. He felt extremely relaxed and at ease.
No matter what happened to Bao 'er, as long as she was not dead, Xing Jue would not feel guilty. Moreover, he felt that Grandma Tiancan would not make things difficult for Bao' er. He could feel that Grandma Tiancan was a good master.
"Sigh … Femme fatale!" Seeing Xing Jue's happy expression, Elder Zhuge sighed again and shook his head helplessly. He seemed to have recalled the past.
"Hey, master, what's the good news? You haven't told me yet. " At that moment, Xing Jue was extremely excited. In fact, to him, hearing that Bao 'er was fine was the best news.
"This news has something to do with the Rakshasa Forbidden Area that you and Bao 'er broke into that day," said Elder Zhuge.
"What?!" Hearing that, Xing Jue's eyes turned solemn.
"There is a Cultivation Tower in Mount Wuzhi, and the deepest part is named Rakshasa. Do you know why?"
"Why exactly?"
"The uniqueness of Mount Wuzhi is far beyond that of ordinary mountains. However, the uniqueness is because of a stone buried in the deepest part."
"This stone is indestructible and contains terrifying power. The word 'Rakshasa' is written on the stone, which is why it is called the Rakshasa Stone."
"Because this stone is the foundation of Mount Wuzhi, it can only be sealed and listed as a forbidden area despite the powerful power it emits. If this stone is lost, the foundation of Mount Wuzhi will be lost as well," Elder Zhuge explained about the Rakshasa Stone and Mount Wuzhi.
"So, what does the Rakshasa Forbidden Area have to do with the good news you mentioned?" Xing Jue asked.
"Rakshasa Forbidden Area does not allow anyone to enter, but recently, Ethereal Summit's Rakshasa Forbidden Area has been opened."
"The number one core disciple of Ethereal Summit, Murong Xiaoxiao, entered to cultivate and received unexpected results."
"So, Murong Xiaoxiao is cultivating in seclusion in the Rakshasa Forbidden Area. No wonder." Xing Jue finally understood why Murong Xiaoxiao did not appear in Wolong City.
"Could it be that the other four peaks are also going to open the Rakshasa Forbidden Area for their disciples to cultivate?"
"You're right. Your generation of disciples represents the future successors of Mount Wuzhi. Your strength will determine the strength of Mount Wuzhi in the future."
"Ethereal Summit's move has stimulated the other four peaks. I heard that Heaven Dao Peak, Reincarnation Peak, and Zen Peak are discussing whether to open the Rakshasa Forbidden Area for their outstanding disciples to cultivate," Elder Zhuge said with a smile.
"What about Hermit Peak?" Xing Jue was most concerned about Hermit Peak's movements.
"Hermit Peak has made a decision to open the Rakshasa Forbidden Area for their outstanding disciples to cultivate."
"That's great." Xing Jue was overjoyed. This was a rare opportunity.
"Don't be too happy yet. Although we've made a decision, we have a request."
"What is it?"
"Draw forces to our side!"
"Draw forces to our side?" Xing Jue was stunned.
"Currently, Mount Wuzhi has declared war on Mount Wu, but they haven't been able to find the base of Mount Wu. Moreover, the disciples and elders who are out on missions are often attacked by the elders of Mount Wu, resulting in heavy losses."
"Mount Wu is a terrifying existence, a threat that must be eliminated. Under such circumstances, Mount Wuzhi has made a decision."
"They want to draw forces from all over the world and form an alliance with Mount Wuzhi. They want to isolate Mount Wu and then use the power of the world to deal with Mount Wu," Elder Zhuge said solemnly.
"That's why the Hermit Peak is trying to rope in the other forces in the world at all costs, because the number and strength of the forces roped in will affect the balance of Mount Wuzhi in the future. Is that so?" Hearing this, Xing Jue understood the intentions of the Hermit Peak's higher-ups.
"That's right. You're very smart." Seeing that Xing Jue had guessed the thoughts of the higher-ups, Elder Zhuge was pleasantly surprised.
He then said, "Right now, many pro-disciples have received the news and have begun to contact forces from all over the world. They want to draw them to Hermit Peak through their personal connections."
"However, there are only ten places to enter the Rakshasa Forbidden Area."
"That means to say that the success of entering the Rakshasa Forbidden Area to cultivate depends on the strength of the force you draw to your side. Are you confident?" Elder Zhuge asked.
"I've already thought of the force that can be drawn to my side." Xing Jue's lips curled into a confident smile.
