The White Silk Handkerchief rose, turning into a beam of light which flashed gloriously across the sky. This method of flight made the low-level cultivators in Ye Clan feel endless admiration. Every other cultivator in Tongâan District also had a change of expression when they felt the spiritual aura pressure belonging to a Foundation Building cultivator. It was only after the spiritual aura pressure had long gone that they dared to raise their heads and look around.
Once she was quite a distance away from Tongâan District, Mo Tiange, who was driving the White Silk Handkerchief, finally stopped emitting spiritual aura pressure from her body. The reason why she deliberately revealed her spiritual aura pressure in Tongâan District was because she wanted to intimidate others. She wanted them to know that Ye Clan was related to a Foundation Building cultivator so they wouldnât dare bully Ye Clan.
This was the secular world. Most of the individual cultivators in the secular world had no prospects of achieving the Great Dao. Their cultivation realms varied between the first to the third layer of the Aura Refining realm at the most, so a Foundation Building cultivator was enough to intimidate them.
The flight speed of a Foundation Building cultivator wasnât slow. Furthermore, the White Silk Handkerchief was also an extraordinary flying magic weapon. In just half a day, Mo Tiange had left Wei Countryâs territory.
When she was with Ye Clan, Ye Cheng relayed to Mo Tiange all the information Ye Clan had gathered in the past dozens of years. In fact, most of the spirit veins present in the Celestial Pole were located in Kunwu. Even though there were some spirit veins in the secular world, all of them were so weak that even small cultivation groups werenât interested in them, so there would naturally be no fated chances for her there. Because of that, Mo Tiange didnât have any intentions of exploring the secret spots Ye Clan told her about. She only planned on going to some unusual places to pick up some spiritual plants or look for spiritual objects.
To the southeast of Wei Country was Jin Country, so Mo Tiange also intended to take a trip back to Mo Familyâs Village in Liancheng County while she was at it. She wanted to pay respects to her mother as well as take her motherâs remains with her. If she had the chance in the future, she wanted to bury her mother and her father together.
When her father passed away on Demonic Mountain that year, Qin Shoujing brought back news, saying that he buried her fatherâs bones right at the spot where he died on Demonic Mountain. Mo Tiange long decided that if she advanced to the Core Formation realm in the future, she would make a trip to Demonic Mountain to find her fatherâs bones when the restrictions around Demonic Mountain were weak, and bury him and her mother together, fulfilling her motherâs lifelong wish to see him again.
While she was at it, she also wanted to inform the Mo Family of Tianqiaoâs death.
When she was a child, she only saw the Mo Family as cold and unfeeling. If Tianqiao wasnât there, she wouldnât have even wanted to stay there for a day. Right now, she was no longer that orphan girl who lost both her parents. Right now, she was a cultivator with powerful magical powers.
As she thought about the past, she wanted to sigh. In fact, grandfather, grandmother, and the others werenât bad people. It was just that from a childâs point of view, they couldnât give her enough affection. She understood them, but it was still hard for her to get close to them.
Right after she entered Jin Countryâs borders, Mo Tiange frowned, changed direction and flew towards the northeast.
She sensed a strange spiritual aura fluctuation. It wasnât the type of spiritual aura fluctuation emitted during fights of magical powers, and it also wasnât similar to the spiritual aura pressure of a high-level cultivator.
She only hesitated for a moment before she decided to go and take a look. The spiritual aura fluctuation wasnât big, but it was quite strange. This was the secular world so presumably, there werenât any high-level cultivators here. Her cultivation level was quite high these days, and she also had several magic weaponsâshe shouldnât be in much danger.
Nevertheless, the closer she got to the source of the spiritual aura fluctuation, the deeper her brows wrinkled. The fluctuating spiritual aura was extremely pure, and she could also hear muffled noises of wind and thunder. Could this be the birth of a unique treasure?
Once this thought crossed her mind, Mo Tiange used an art to maneuver the White Silk Handkerchief to rush forward as fast as possible. Furthermore, she also spread her divine sense. As she expected, there were other cultivators rushing over, although they were all Aura Refining cultivators. The moment they came into contact with her divine sense, they knew there was a Foundation Building senior there and immediately slowed down their speed.
The longer Mo Tiange flew, the more bewildered she became. The source of this spiritual aura wasnât as close as she originally thought. Sheâd flown for such a long time, but she felt the distance between her and the spiritual aura wasnât decreasing.
Gradually, this spiritual aura fluctuation drew the attention of even more cultivators in the secular world. After flying for several hours, Mo Tiange started to sense other Foundation Building cultivators joining the pursuit.
Although most of the individual cultivators in the secular world were low-level Aura Refining cultivators, there were also cultivators in the Foundation Building realm and higher who happened to be passing through. Maybe they were just like her who coincidentally stumbled upon this spiritual aura fluctuation and looked for its source.
The Foundation Building cultivators maintained some distance between each other in tacit understanding, but all of them did their utmost to fly to the source.
After several more hours, the spiritual aura fluctuation finally became a bit more apparent. The Foundation Building cultivators were all ecstatic; everyone started to accelerate.
Mo Tiangeâs White Silk Handkerchief was naturally much better than the flying magic tools of the other Foundation Building cultivators. However, the moment she realized there were other Foundation Building cultivators, she no longer used its full strength and instead maintained roughly the same speed as the rest of them. The reason she did this was because she was accustomed to being cautious. This spiritual aura fluctuation was abnormal, so rather than speeding towards it alone ahead of everyone, she thought she should arrive together with the othersâitâd be safer for her that way. Besides, she already examined those Foundation Building cultivators and discovered that all of them were in the early stage. If it was indeed a unique treasure, she didnât need to fear them at all.
As they continued to fly, the spiritual aura fluctuation became even more apparent. Because of that, Mo Tiange knew the source of the spiritual aura fluctuation must be close.
The flight lights of the other cultivators could already be seen with the naked eye. There were quite a few people with the same thoughts as her, but they all avoided her. After all, with her cultivation level in the peak of the middle stage, she was the strongest among them. Furthermore, they still didnât know whether she was a friend or an enemy; itâd be better for them to keep a distance from her.
At this moment, Aura Refining cultivators were no longer participating in this pursuit. Even if along the way there were Aura Refining cultivators who sensed the spiritual aura fluctuation and flew over, they were oppressed by the spiritual aura pressure of the Foundation Building cultivators and eventually gave up the pursuit.
The spiritual aura pressure became more and more apparent. Mo Tiangeâs divine sense could already detect the source of that spiritual aura. At the same time, she also sensed other cultivators divine senses running into hers.
She then saw cultivators rushing over from other directions.
She contemplated for a very brief moment then stomped onto the White Silk Handkerchief. All of a sudden, her speed accelerated, and she flew directly towards the source of this spiritual aura pressure, leaving those Foundation Building cultivators far behind her.
Upon seeing her white-colored flight light disappearing into the horizon, those Foundation Building cultivators, who had been flying for several hours, turned pale with fright.
This speed⌠that person obviously couldâve left us behind a long time ago! Presumably, that brother Daoist was just being courteous to us a moment ago. But now, he suddenly accelerated his speed⌠did he perhaps realize something?
With these thoughts in mind, several Foundation Building cultivators also accelerated and immediately chased after her.
However, one person mumbled, âThe flight light was white. It seems that person isnât one to be trifled with; I better move a bit slower.â
The color of oneâs flight light was always in concordance with their spiritual roots and the main cultivation technique they practiced. If one had metal spiritual roots and practiced a metal element cultivation technique, their flight light would be gold. If they used a wood element technique, the color would be green, water would be blue, fire would be red, and soil would be yellow. There were also people with mixed spiritual roots. Their flight lights were mostly multi-colored and were absolutely never white-colored.
A white-colored flight light meant the person was either a rare Foundation Building cultivator with five spiritual roots or a cultivator who practiced a unique kind of cultivation technique. Foundation Building cultivators with five spiritual roots had certainly experienced much more and much harder tribulations compared to ordinary cultivators, while cultivators who practiced unique cultivation techniques most likely had special tricks. No matter what type of person that was, they were definitely stronger than ordinary cultivators.
Unfortunately, the other Foundation Building cultivators were greedy for the potential of obtaining a treasure, so they didnât consider this point at all.
Two hours later, Mo Tiange eventually landed on a cliff.
At that moment, a crowd of cultivators had already gathered on the cliff. Among them, there were three Foundation Building cultivators and more than a dozen Aura Refining cultivators. They all looked different, but they were all staring at the valley below the cliff.
Upon seeing her arrival, some of the Foundation Building cultivators looked delighted but others looked worried. On the contrary, the Aura Refining cultivators had indifferent, stiff expressions on their faces.
âFellow Daoist!â Just as Mo Tiange was about to examine the spiritual-aura-emitting valley, a white-haired, long-bearded Daoist stepped forward from the group of Foundation Building cultivators and cupped his hands towards her as a greeting.
Mo Tiange had long taken note of the people on the cliff. She didnât need to be concerned with the Aura Refining cultivators because presumably, they were nothing but individual cultivators from the secular world. As for the Foundation Building cultivators, there were three of them. Two were a couple who both looked approximately thirty years old. They looked intimate; they were presumably Dao companions practicing Dual Cultivation. Both were in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm, and there was nothing unusual about their looks or attire. The last one was the Daoist who stepped forward. A moment ago, he was standing with the couple, so he was either friends with them or he reached an agreement with them to work together. He was in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm. Despite his white hair, he had a youthful appearance and a considerably high cultivation level.
Since this Daoist was acting so courteously, Mo Tiange returned his greeting.
This Daoist already secretly examined her cultivation level. Seeing that she looked so young but had such a high cultivation level, he felt fearful. In the cultivation world, although look-preserving cultivation techniques werenât rare, they also werenât commonâindividual cultivators most likely couldnât access this kind of cultivation technique. The Daoist surmised that if Mo Tiange looked young because of the look-preserving effects of her cultivation technique, she most likely came from a cultivation group; however, if her youthful appearance wasnât due to her cultivation technique, achieving such a high cultivation level at such a young age⌠was even scarier!
Because of these thoughts, his courteous behavior was suffused with some respect. âMy Daoist nameâs Fangzheng; may I know how I should address Fellow Daoist?â
Mo Tiange looked this Daoist up and down. In the end, she didnât tell him her real name. âIâm Ye Xiaotian. Nice to meet you.â After she left Mount Taikang, she stopped wearing the schoolâs uniform and also used an alias. She rarely traveled outside so presumably, there wasnât anyone who could recognize her.
âSo itâs Fellow Daoist Ye.â Daoist Fangzheng once again cupped his hands towards her, but he soon got straight to the point. âFellow Daoist Ye mustâve also noticed the spiritual aura fluctuation here and rushed over to take a look.â
Mo Tiange nodded. âCorrect.â Her gaze once again fell on the valley below the cliff. This cliff obviously wasnât a spirit vein, and there seemed to be nothing special about the valley, so why was this place emitting spiritual aura?
Daoist Fangzheng smiled and said, âSuch a coincidence! These two fellow Daoists and I also came to take a look because of the spiritual aura.â
âDid you?â Mo Tiange replied indifferently. She already guessed this Daoistâs intentions; he probably wanted to go down to the valley with her. However, it didnât look like there was anything special about it; why didnât the three Foundation Building cultivators go down themselves?
Upon seeing how indifferent her attitude was, Daoist Fangzhengâs expression became a bit forced. However, Mo Tiangeâs cultivation level was slightly higher than his, so he forced himself to endure it. âFellow Daoist Ye, Brother Yao, his wife and I already examined the valley.â
âOh?â This time, Mo Tiange finally shifted her gaze from the valley and directed it towards him.
Daoist Fangzheng smiled and said, âIs Fellow Daoist Ye wondering why we stayed here and havenât gone down to the valley yet?â
Mo Tiange nodded. Indeed, the spiritual aura pressure from the valley couldnât be considered strong, but the three Foundation Building cultivators hadnât taken any action; those ten-odd Aura Refining cultivators also did nothing aside from standing on the cliff, whispering to each otherâthis indeed baffled Mo Tiange.
âIâm going to be honest with Fellow Daoist Ye. Right after Brother Yao, his wife and I rushed over here, we already went down to the valley. We never expected that the miasma and gale in that valley would be so hard to deal with. We were able to block them once, but we couldnât block them a second time. In the end, we had no other choice but to come up again.â
âMiasma and gale?â Mo Tiange was flabbergasted. If miasma and gale were involved, would the spiritual aura fluctuation be mild like this? Although there were vague storm sounds, the spiritual aura fluctuation had been mild the whole time. According to reason, there shouldnât be any dangerous miasma or gale.
Daoist Fangzheng saw her expression then smiled bitterly. âIf Fellow Daoist Ye doesnât believe me, Fellow Daoist may try to go down and take a look.â
The astonishment in her expression disappeared as Mo Tiange regained her calm. She said, âNo need. I believe Fellow Daoist doesnât have any reason to lie to me.â
Once Mo Tiange finished talking, the âBrother Yao and his wifeâ Daoist Fangzheng mentioned walked towards her. The woman smiled at her and said, âRight! Little Sister, that was indeed the truth.â
This woman was dressed like a married woman and looked like she was about twenty-seven to twenty-eight years old. She was both charming and graceful, and her face was full of smiles. She spoke bluntly, but her tone was gentle. All in all, she gave Mo Tiange a very good impression.
Right after the woman spoke, the male cultivator by her side frowned then said rather helplessly, âLittle Sister Wan, this young ladyâs cultivation level is higher than ours; how could you address her as âlittle sisterâ so thoughtlessly? Youâre being too rude.â He then turned his attention to Mo Tiange and cupped his hands in apology. âFellow Daoist Ye, please forgive us. My wifeâs outspoken and often talks without thinking. She didnât mean to offend you.â
Before Mo Tiange could say anything in response, the woman already said with annoyance, âBig Brother Xiu, donât hastily apologize on my behalf. Letâs make a bet; I bet this little sister is really a little sister!â
The dialogue between this husband and wife had another meaning. The male cultivator reminded his wife that Mo Tiangeâs cultivation level was higher than theirs and she might be slightly older than the two of them, so calling her âlittle sisterâ would most likely offend her. Nevertheless, talking about a womanâs age in front of her would absolutely offend the said woman, so he gave her a veiled reminder instead of directly rebuking his wife. Because the woman understood what her husband meant, the focus of her answer was âlittle sister.â
Upon hearing the womanâs answer, her husband asked with bewilderment, âHow can you be so sure?â
The woman just smiled. âItâs womanâs intuition.â After she said that, the woman walked over, affectionately pulled Mo Tiangeâs hand and asked, âLittle Sister, am I correct?â
Mo Tiange also smiled and said, âMay I ask how old you two are? If you donât tell me, I wonât be able to answer your question.â
The woman was stunned. A second later, she covered her mouth and laughed. âWell, look at my brain! I actually forgot such an important thing! My clumsy husband and I are a hundred years old this year.â
Based on the lifespan of Foundation Building cultivators, their appearances now should be their real appearances. A hundred years old⌠the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm⌠Mo Tiange pondered inwardly. It seemed that they were either cultivators from a small cultivation group or individual cultivators. Even if they were cultivators from a big cultivation group, they were probably just ordinary disciples.
Most big cultivation groupsâ elite disciples built their foundation early. Although not many could advance to the Core Formation realm, cultivating until they reached the late stage of the Foundation Building realm was fairly easy. Very few of them were trapped in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm at that age.
âBig Sisterâs guess is correct.â Mo Tiange showed a faint smile. âIâm a little bit younger than the two of you.â

âOh?â Not only this married couple, but even Daoist Fangcheng widened his eyes. She wasnât a hundred years old yet, but her cultivation level was already in the peak of the middle stage of the Foundation Building realmâŚ
Mo Tiange didnât want to elaborate on this matter, so she changed the subject. âHow much do you currently know about the situation in this valley?â
Daoist Fangzheng recovered his train of thought and immediately answered, âWhen Brother Yao, his wife and I discovered that we couldnât pass through the miasma and gales down there, the three of us worked together, but the end result was still the same⌠Fellow Daoist, take a look. The spiritual aura isnât warm, but itâs very pure, so thereâs most likely some kind of unique treasure being born here. Itâd really be a pity if we missed it!â
âCorrect! We were also thinking that.â The one who interrupted was the women. âLittle Sister, youâre young, but your cultivation levelâs already so high; youâre probably a disciple of a cultivation group, right? The three of us are individual cultivators. Itâs truly hard for us to encounter the birth of a unique treasure. If youâre also interested in the treasure, we can think of a strategy together. But if you donât want to take the risk, we also wouldnât block your way. Of course, if you think you can get the treasure yourself, you can always pretend you didnât hear our proposal.â
