While waiting for news from Xu Changge.
Lu Hong sat obediently behind the counter.
Yan Lei anxiously kept looking out the door of the Danfu Pavilion.
Su Bai, however, was calmly sipping the tea in her hand.
At the same time, she took this time to sort through the Cultivation Techniques she was currently still using.
The main Cultivation Techniques she could continue to practice and considered her primary focus were the 'Profound Spirit Sword Art' and the 'Five Spirit Seal,' which, while being Cultivation Techniques, also came with powerful Spells.
One involved a Yu Ling Flying Sword, the other the Five Elements Seal, and both could be combined into a single powerful strike.
In terms of auxiliary Cultivation Techniques, she had the 'Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription' and the 'Breath Cessation Spell' for tempering the Foundation, the 'Sword Intent Expansion Art' and the 'Sword Nurturing Art' for cultivating the spirit body, and the 'Medicine King Canon' and the 'Spiritual Beast Symbiotic Art' for auxiliary cultivation. Her setup was not bad.
The 'Soul Shocking Thorn,' which she had cultivated as a Divine Sense technique, was completely outdated, but relying on her powerful Divine Sense, it could still pose a considerable threat to enemies, though it was not as powerful as the'Soul Breaking Chant'.
As for the 'Thousand Threads Guiding Method,' it was specifically cultivated to control Puppets, allowing for more refined Divine Sense manipulation.
Of the two Demonic Path secret methods she cultivated—the Blood Escape Technique and the Blood Burning Spell—only the Blood Escape Technique was still somewhat useful to the current Su Bai.
For Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, she had the orthodox immortal Cultivation Technique, the 'Heavenly Calamity Illusionary Thunder Body Tempering Method,' and the Qi and Blood Martial Dao technique, the 'Three Meridians Seven Chakras.' This was one of Su Bai's strongest trump cards.
The Physical Body Divine Ability, 'Heavenly Thunder Transformation,' was the basis for Su Bai's confidence that she was not inferior to a Core Formation Late Stage expert immediately after her Breakthrough.
There were also some other minor Spells Su Bai had found, but they offered little help to her now.
Counting carefully, she had cultivated quite a few Cultivation Techniques throughout her journey.
Of course, these were not Su Bai's greatest gains.
Her greatest gain was the myriad realms cauldron hidden deep within her Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, the myriad realms cauldron seemed even more ancient than before. Its body emitted a trace of desolation, and the various patterns and designs carved on it had become significantly clearer.
However, those inscriptions, as well as the depictions of birds and beasts, were still unrecognizable.
After Su Bai broke through to Core Formation, the myriad realms cauldron shook slightly, and it opened a third world.
But Su Bai had not explored that world yet.
She had only cautiously used the myriad realms cauldron to reflect the appearance of the opposite world.
It seemed to be in a primitive forest, with lush, dense green trees, where one could see insects, ants, and flying birds—there were living creatures, unlike the second world, which was a closed Secret Realm.
She would definitely explore it in the future.
But now was not the time.
Instead, the Treasure Distribution Rock in the second world—now that her cultivation base had greatly increased, she had enough Spiritual Power to infuse it with more strength.
Perhaps she could obtain new treasures from it.
Su Bai sat in the Danfu Pavilion waiting for Xu Changge. Two days passed. Xu Changge did not arrive, but a sound transmission talisman did.
Looking at the sound transmission talisman hovering in front of her.
Su Bai reached out and touched it, and the voice from the sound transmission talisman entered her ears.
"I consulted my Master. All Cultivators heading to the Outer Sea Secret Realm—their life-bound tokens shattered!"
"There has been a small commotion within the Sect because of this. This is a major event. The Cultivators sent by the Green Bamboo Sword Sect to the Outer Sea this time included a Core Formation Late Stage leading the group, with two Core Formation Early Stage Cultivators supporting them. To be able to slay them without leaving any trace of sound shows how powerful the enemy is."
"The Six Sects will discuss countermeasures later. I won't be coming to your place for now."
There was no truly important news in the sound transmission talisman.
Su Bai looked at Yan Lei, who stood beside her with a face full of anticipation, and merely shook her head.
"It only said that the Six Sects will discuss countermeasures."
Upon hearing this, Yan Lei was somewhat disappointed.
But then he thought, it was impossible for the Six Sects to resolve something like this in a short time.
As expected, they still had to rely on themselves.
Thinking of this, Yan Lei secretly glanced at Su Bai and began to calculate in his mind.
Su Bai was also thinking. She naturally noticed Yan Lei's furtive glance.
As a Core Formation Cultivator, every slight movement around her was within her perception.
Thus, Su Bai spoke directly:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what do you think?"
As soon as Su Bai called him, Yan Lei knew his small action had been discovered.
He sighed inwardly. A Core Formation Immortal Master was indeed a Core Formation Immortal Master; even that slight movement was detected.
But he merely organized his thoughts and then directly stated what he thought.
"This matter requires two preparations. First, we watch the plan from the Six Sects, but we certainly won't know about that, so we can only focus on our own affairs."
"In my opinion, Xingluo City is not suitable for staying long..."
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, both sides fell silent.
Yan Lei's thoughts were consistent with Su Bai's.
But as for where to go instead of Xingluo City, Su Bai had her own answer, but she still wanted to reference Yan Lei's thoughts, so she asked:
"Then, Fellow Daoist Yan, where do you think we should go if not here?"
Su Bai's first thought was Heavenly Fortune City.
That place was close to the Demon Beast Mountain Range. If an accident occurred, she could directly enter the mountain range to hide or simply pass through it.
But Su Bai thought this because she was currently at the Core Formation cultivation base. The Demon Beast Mountain Range had numerous Yao Beasts, and their strength was high, but as long as Su Bai was a bit careful, even the third-tier Yao Beasts would not bother a Cultivator of the same rank.
As for fourth-tier Yao Beasts, that was merely a legend.
Moreover, traversing the Demon Beast Mountain Range was not the same as exploring its deepest parts; her luck wouldn't be that bad.
Given Yan Lei's capabilities, he likely wouldn't consider that location either.
Yan Lei replied:
"Senior, do you know of the Li Country?"
"Heard of it."
The place where the entire country was filled with Evil Cultivators and was eventually destroyed by the Six Sects, right?
"Senior, the Li Country also borders the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Continuing further north is a desolate and chaotic land. In the past, Cultivators who had nowhere to turn would go there. Over time, it formed a territory that no one managed. Previously, due to the impact of the Li Country being attacked by the Six Sects, many Cultivators fled, but the war ended long ago, and they all returned."
"In my opinion, regardless of what the Six Sects plan, Xingluo City will not be very safe. If they fight it out in the Outer Sea, that's one thing, but if the thing in that Secret Realm breaks its seal, this place will be the first to suffer."
"Therefore, I believe that if possible, we should go to that chaotic land to make a living."
Given Yan Lei's personality, the place he mentioned was indeed suitable for his survival.
But a gathering of unrestrained Cultivators could hardly live peacefully.
At least Su Bai's current idea of doing a little business and cultivating peacefully would not work there.
Hearing Yan Lei's suggestion, Su Bai felt it was unreliable.
After thinking some more, Su Bai decided it was better to ask Xu Changge exactly how the Six Sects planned to handle the situation.
Then, while the Yin Corpses could not come out, she would seize the time to gather Materials and improve her Artifact Refining skills.
She wanted to forge a Magic Treasure herself that could carry people away for escape!
She could not place her own life in the hands of others.
Once the situation turned unfavorable, and she sensed the slightest danger, Su Bai would call Xu Changge and Lu Hong to flee.
"Thinking about these things now only adds to our troubles. I have confidence in the Six Sects!"
