Unfortunately, Chu Xuan's spiritual sense was heavily suppressed here. Even though his spiritual sense was exceptionally strong, he could not teleport objects through the air. Creating any sound was also exceedingly difficult.
Over this period, Chu Xuan had periodically focused his spiritual sense here, partly with the intention of tempering it. The suppression of spiritual sense in this place was, in fact, a form of refinement.
Over time, his spiritual sense would become increasingly resilient. There weren't many methods for tempering spiritual sense, and even fewer were safe. Chu Xuan always knew how to seize opportunities.
After a while, the creature resembling a cockamouse remained distant from the shards of the Mirror. It merely wandered around the area and then disappeared from Chu Xuan's spiritual range.
"Damn it!"
Chu Xuan cursed under his breath.
This had been a rare opportunity! To date, his understanding of this world was still nil!
After a good while longer, the cockamouse did not reappear. Chu Xuan resigned himself to quietly tempering his spiritual sense.
One day, two days, three days...
The day and night cycles here were surely different from those on Blue Star. Chu Xuan's concept of day and night was based on Blue Star's cycle. He noticed that every few days, the cockamouse would come out to roam for a while.
It seemed to be patrolling its territory. Once, he even spotted two cockamouse appearing together. Chu Xuan surmised that this cave must be the domain of a group of cockamouse.
Nearby, there was likely a nest of cockamouse. Their repeated appearances were solely in search of food.
"Let's wait a bit longer..."
Chu Xuan sighed resignedly, casting aside his distractions to continue tempering his spiritual sense.
...
On Mystic Azure Star, in the Northern Cold, atop a high mountain.
A figure clad in black overlooked the collapsing battlefront of the Righteous Alliance, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Interesting, I thought the Northern Cold had no more moves to play, but these Nascent Soul cultivators disappeared overnight. Without a doubt, the Three Demon Sects of Wu Country will soon unite the Northern Cold..."
The man in black nodded in satisfaction.
"Of the Three Demon Sects, the Corpse Yin Sect is the strongest, followed by the Poison Gu Sect, and the weakest is the Myriad Souls Sect..."
His mind was filled with information about Jin Zhao, Zheng Ji, Guan Tong, Wan Hun, and others.
"Jin Zhao, Ling Su, Luo Hua, and the others disappearing overnight must mean they have perished. Whoever killed these six early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators must be at least a mid-stage Nascent Soul. And surely a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator of considerable strength.
Zheng Ji and the others might have hidden their true powers; I must visit them personally to ascertain the truth. That mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is certainly worth recruiting."
After pondering for a moment, the man in black vanished in the blink of an eye...
Several days later, Chu Xuan received a message from the Myriad Souls Elder. A mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator had visited, gifting numerous Nascent Soul stage pills and talismans, yet he demanded nothing in return. He left as freely as he had arrived.
He also mentioned that this stranger had appeared at both the Corpse Yin Sect and the Poison Gu Sect, delivering similar gifts without any demands.
This behavior baffled Zheng Ji, Guan Tong, and the Myriad Souls Elder. Every gift that came without a price was secretly marked with one.
These pills and talismans were useful to them, yet they dared not use them. Free lunches didn't exist in their world—a lesson well understood by Nascent Soul cultivators.
Intrigued by this news, Chu Xuan felt a spark of interest. His network of information was broader than that of the Myriad Souls and the others. After some thought, he could guess the identity of this person.
"Golden Phoenix Sect is backed by the Majestic Sword Sect, which in turn is supported by the Reincarnation Divine Church. It's the Reincarnation Divine Church supporting Golden Phoenix Sect to unify Northern Cold. Now that the Righteous Alliance in Northern Cold is crumbling, it's only a matter of time before the demonic paths unify the region. The one seeking me out now is likely from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect. They're probably trying to figure out who eliminated the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Righteous Alliance."
Chu Xuan chuckled lightly.
He couldn't remain hidden forever. However, it was not the time to step into the limelight.
"Whoever he is, let him be troubled. I still have my own battle of wits and bravery with the cockamouse."
"A miscalculation..." freewёbnoνel.com
