Chapter 199 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada (1)
Translator: 549690339
The contents of the Jade Book of the Beginning of the Dao (middle) appeared in Zhu Wuwan’s mind. Zhu Wuwan operated the Jade Book of the Beginning of the Dao according to the instructions on it and absorbed the strange power of breaking through the petrification. He constantly stabilized and improved his own strength.
The Jade Book of the Beginning of the Dao (Middle) was a Foundation Establishment cultivation technique that Zhu Wuwan had obtained on the second floor of the stone tower of the Book Collection Peak. Zhu Wuwan did not choose to cultivate the Hundred Poisons Sect’s fundamental immortal cultivation techniques, the Poison Refinement Technique and the Ten Poisons Technique. Instead, he chose to continue cultivating the Jade Book of the Beginning of the Dao (Middle), even though the difficulty of the Jade Book of the Beginning of the Dao (Middle) was ten times, a hundred times, more difficult than the Ten Poisons Technique.
However, as the number one Foundation Establishment immortal technique in the world, the Primordial Dao Jade Book far surpassed the Poison Refinement Technique and the Ten Poison Technique in both power and foundation.
As for the difficulty of his cultivation, it was nothing compared to Zhu Wuyang’s extraordinary aptitude and special encounter system.
However, to be honest, if Zhu Wanhao had not cultivated the Jade Book of Dao Beginning after stepping on the path of immortality, but the Poison Refinement Technique and the Ten Poison Technique, he would probably have already advanced to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm and not just stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm. Compared to the Jade Book of Dao Beginning, the cultivation of the Poison Refinement Technique and the Ten Poison Technique required much less resources.
By the time he absorbed this wave of breakthrough stones, Zhu Wuwan had already stabilized at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm. He no longer had to worry about the problem of his realm falling. His overall strength had also increased by leaps and bounds, more than ten times that of before.
Feeling the surging Dao Beginning True Essence in her body and her powerful and terrifying body, a smile flashed across Zhu Wuwan’s face. She began to perform the Nine Dragon Dance, the Flowing Illusory Dream Steps, and the Heavenly Moon Saber…He was adapting to the sudden increase in strength.
After getting used to it, Zhu Wuwan began to release some spells and immortal martial arts that didn’t cause much of a commotion. Cage Technique, Illusion Immortal Mustard, Water Dragon Roar, Wind Manipulation Technique, Essence Recovery Technique…All the way to the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Technique.
“Pa…”
Zhu Wuwan paused. He could faintly hear the sound of extremely light footsteps coming from hundreds of meters away. The person who came was obviously very careful. His movements were very cautious, so the sound he made was extremely low.
Could it be that a Huoyuan Peak Alchemist also wanted to steal medicinal herbs and pills, so he came here?
Zhu Wanhao thought to herself in puzzlement. After all, this place was extremely remote and basically no alchemists came here. That was why Zhu Wanhao chose to break through and advance here.
” I’ve finally made it here. I didn’t expect that the map fragment I obtained before would be so useful. It really leads to the depths of Huoyuan Peak. ”
“This time, I’ll steal some of the Zhu Clan’s spirit pills and spirit herbs. I’ll also kill some of the more important alchemists of the Zhu Clan to avenge my past grudges.”
“No, I’d better apply some more human skin powder to avoid revealing any flaws. I can’t let the Zhu Clan’s Alchemist discover my identity.”
Zhu Wuyan was stunned. Then, he heard a rustling sound from hundreds of meters away. It was obvious that the person was touching up his makeup. If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhu Wuyan’s Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing was an immortal martial art, which was considered pretty good among mid-level spells, and that after this transformation, his mental power and five senses had been greatly improved, Zhu Wuyan probably wouldn’t have heard all of this.
The Zhen Clan was quite powerful. They had actually entered Huoyuan Peak through a special secret passage. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to steal a large number of spirit pills and medicinal herbs. They even wanted to kill some of the alchemists of Huoyuan Peak.
It was common knowledge that alchemists were usually not proficient in combat techniques. They were considered relatively weak among cultivators of the same level. At this moment, the strongest cultivator on Huoyuan Peak was only at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. However, his combat strength was at the bottom of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Even some of the more powerful mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivators could defeat him, let alone sneak attacks and assassinations.
As long as the newcomer was slightly stronger, he might be able to wash the entire Huoyuan Peak in blood. A sudden crisis had suddenly descended on Huoyuan Peak.
Zhu Wuwan was also a little shocked. She hurriedly hid in the cracks of the rocks and waited for the person to appear. If it was a late-stage Foundation Establishment or even a perfected Foundation Establishment big shot, she would think of a way to spread the news. All she needed to do was to keep her life.
Although Zhu Wanhao was confident that she could deal with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, for safety reasons, it was better to leave this matter to the big shots of the Zhu family.
If it was an early-stage or mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could still try to kill the other party and obtain a large number of breakthrough stones.
After some consideration, Zhu Wuwan quietly stayed in the crack of the stone. She circulated her Fantasy Immortal mustard and completely concealed her aura. Even a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator could not detect her as she waited for the enemy to appear.
“Suo Suo…”
Even though he had activated the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Technique, Zhu Wuyang could only faintly hear the footsteps approaching from afar. If he had not activated the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Technique, or if Zhu Wuyang had not broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at this moment, he would probably not have heard the footsteps of the approaching person.
From this, it could be seen that the other party’s movement technique and concealment technique were quite powerful. He was definitely a cultivator above the foundation establishment stage. His movement technique and concealment technique were also top-notch among the foundation establishment stage cultivators.
Based on this alone, Zhu Wuyang guessed that the other party’s strength was definitely not only at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
Fortunately, when she saw the other party, Zhu Wuwan was sure that the other party was only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Although he was only half a step away from the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm was still the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. There was still a huge gap between the mid-stage and the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
With Zhu Wuan’s current strength, although he had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm and it was still a little difficult for him to deal with late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, he was almost certain to deal with mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Zhu Wuwan followed behind him silently. With Illusion Immortal Mustard and Illusory Dream Steps, whether it was his movement technique or concealment technique, he was superior. He followed closely behind the other party.
This Zhen Clan cultivator had disguised his face and looked very similar to an official alchemist of Huoyuan Peak. Clearly, he had done his homework.
With this face, the Zhen Clan cultivator easily snuck into the center of Huoyuan Peak and began to look for his target.
This person didn’t immediately attack the Alchemists of Huoyuan Peak. Apparently, he was afraid of causing a commotion and being discovered. Moreover, his main purpose of sneaking into Huoyuan Peak wasn’t to kill the Alchemists of the Zhu Clan.
Spirit pills and heavenly treasures!
This was this person’s true goal. Zhu Wuwan could only watch helplessly as the other party sneaked into the warehouses of medicinal herbs and spirit pills…He stole many precious herbs and pills and put them into the few storage rings he had prepared.
This person was quite familiar with the internal situation of Huoyuan Peak. He walked like he was strolling in a courtyard. When he stole medicinal herbs and spiritual pills, he was steady and accurate. He could also arrange some confusion techniques appropriately to avoid his actions being discovered quickly.
This way, he would be able to stay longer on Huoyuan Peak, steal more medicinal herbs and spiritual pills, and work hard to prepare more spoils of war for Zhu Wuwan, even though he didn’t know about this.
