βIs it because weβre in our Soul Avatarsβ¦?β Murong Xiao Xiao considered it as she answered.
βProbably,β Chen Mu Ji nodded in agreement.
Since they were in their Soul Avatars, they were unable to use many skills and Secret Techniques that they were accustomed to using. They were also unable to use their typical artifacts, which naturally meant that everyone would feel uncomfortable during battle.
Additionally, these types of Soul battles were typically avoided by all cultivators as much as possible.
Normally, if the two cultivators were at about the same power level, they wouldnβt choose to fight with their Divine Senses because such a fight was far too dangerous. A moment of carelessness would be enough to lead to the loss of oneβs consciousness or becoming an idiot.
However, they didnβt have the choice of being able to fight in other ways in this Divine Ascension Mirror World. In that case, many problems that they had never considered or happened upon, would now appear.
For instance, when they were attacked in the outside world, they could instantly cancel out the attack, or even counter it, by meeting it head-on with their own strength.
However, in this place, when a strong attack was launched at them, everyoneβs first reaction was to dodgeβ¦ so that their Souls wouldnβt get injured.
βIt seems that thereβs still much room for us to grow,β Xia Sheng wryly smiled as he added. βLetβs not think about it for the time being. This Soul Sourceβ¦β He glanced at everyone before he stopped at Chen Mu Ji, βJunior Brother Chen, you take this one.β He then looked at Yang Kai and inquired, βBrother Yang, you donβt have any objections, right?β
βI have none!β Yang Kai shook his head.
Xia Sheng nodded.
Chen Mu Ji didnβt refuse. He thanked Xia Sheng and immediately took the Soul Source as he began to cultivate and absorb it.
Not long after, he finished absorbing the Soul Source.
Although it wasnβt too evident, Chen Mu Jiβs Soulβs strength had indeed increased slightly. It could be seen by the look of delight on his face.
It was a peak Eleventh-Order Monster Beast, after all. The person absorbing the Soul Source would be able to feel their own increase in Spiritual Energy.
βLetβs continueβ¦β Xia Sheng said as he led the way forward in search of prey.
Two days passed by in the blink of an eye.
In these two days, Yang Kai and the others supported each other in the Heavenly Monster Mountains. They met many Monster Beasts, but they were able to safely kill these enemies each time. Under Xia Shengβs leadership, the spoils of battle, Soul Sources, were divided up relatively evenly.
Yang Kai absorbed a total of nine Ninth-Order Monster Beasts, five Tenth-Orders, and two Eleventh-Order Monster Beast Soul Sourcesβ¦
His Spiritual Energy was evidently stronger than when he first entered this place.
The others had also obtained good harvests.
For instance, Chen Mu Ji had the weakest Spiritual Energy among them, but his growth was evident for all to see.
There really were countless Monster Beasts in the Heavenly Monster Mountain. The beasts mostly roamed freely, so there was no need for the group to intentionally search for them as they were easy to find.
The group had no intentions of killing Monster Beasts that were too weak, since they wouldnβt gain much even if they did kill such beasts, and basically only targeted existences that were Ninth-Order and above.
Maybe it was because they were still only on the outskirts of the mountains, but they hadnβt met any Twelfth-Order beasts as of yet.
Of course, if they actually did meet a Twelfth-Order Monster Beast, they would only be able to run away.
As the group fought difficult battles over the past two days, their conditions also improved greatly. It was evident that they had acclimated significantly to this new world and if the five of them were to meet an Earth Tortoise again similar to the one they first encountered again, with their current strength and experience, they would likely only need half a cup of teaβs time to kill it.
In other words, everyone had become completely accustomed to this place and their Soul Bodies, along with the way of fighting required here.
As the group rested, Xia Sheng suddenly spoke up, βEveryone, I have a suggestion, but I donβt know if I should say it or not.β
βIs it to act separately?β Xiao Bai Yi had an expression of βI know exactly what youβre thinking.β
Xia Sheng smiled, βXiao Bai really understands me best! Although itβs definitely safer for the five of us to work together, acting as a group like this is rather inefficient. Elder Gao said before that we only have one month in this world, and that the tokenβs seal will activate after that time and forcibly take us back to our world. It may be a long time before we are able to enter the Divine Ascension Mirror again, so we must properly take advantage of this great opportunity in order to treat ourselves!β
βRather than acting together for safety, this Senior Brother prefers to act separately. Although there will be a certain amount of danger, our potentialβ¦ isnβt it always forced out when weβre in danger?β His eyes shone with mysterious confidence and excitement, βIf we keep growing up in a safe environment, it will be too late if we meet with actual danger in the future.β
βActuallyβ¦β Xiao Bai Yi suddenly spoke up with a slow tone, βI agree.β
His implicit meaning was that he had some worries about saying this idea out loud before.
βSeparate?β Murong Xiao Xiao hesitated slightly, but she soon resolved herself and nodded, βGood.β
Xia Sheng saw that even she agreed, so he turned to look at Chen Mu Ji.
Chen Mu Ji smiled and said, βSenior Brothers and Senior Sister donβt need to worry about me. Although I have the lowest Soul cultivation here, I will do what I can based on my own strength. Iβm still a disciple of the temple after all!β
βVery good!β Xia Sheng looked at him with satisfaction before turning to look at Yang Kai and grinning, βBrother Yang definitely has no objections here.β
βIβm fine with anything!β Yang Kai replied calmly.
It was a coincidental opportunity that he could enter the Divine Ascension Mirror to begin with, which was why he didnβt raise any objections or make any requests. If Xia Sheng and the others insisted on acting together, Yang Kai would cooperate, but since they were going to separate, he was happy to comply.
Of course, if he had to choose, he would prefer to separate.
There were many techniques that he didnβt dare to use when travelling together with Xia Sheng and the others, so the feeling of being restricted was quite bothersome to him.
βIn that case, Senior Brother wishes everyone good luckβ¦β Xia Sheng glanced at everyone with a serious expression, βStay safe and return alive!β
βIβll be leaving first,β Xiao Bai Yi was quite decisive, immediately setting off after it was decided that they would separate.
βSenior Brother, stay safe!β Murong Xiao Xiao then glanced at Yang Kai and Chen Mu Ji, βYou two stay safe as well.β
βSister Murong, you must also be careful!β Yang Kai smiled in response.
Murong Xiao Xiao nodded, her tender body flickering as she shot off in a different direction.
βIβll be leaving as well then.β As Chen Mu Ji spoke, he stood up, nodded slightly at Xia Sheng and Yang Kai, then disappeared using his Movement Skill.
Soon, only Xia Sheng and Yang Kai remained.
Xia Sheng smiled as he looked at Yang Kai and asked, βBrother Yang, what direction are you going to choose?β
βThat way!β Yang Kai pointed in a different direction from the others.
Xia Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he exclaimed, βYouβre going deeper into the mountainsβ¦ Brother Yang, you need to be careful. Elder Gao mentioned that there are many existences that even she doesnβt dare to antagonize in these Heavenly Monster Mountains.β
βI will also judge based on my strength. I wonβt get greedy.β Yang Kai smiled.
βThatβs for the best,β Xia Sheng nodded. βThenβ¦ this Xia shall take his leave. See you again when we leave this world!β
As Xia Sheng said this, he rose into the air and flew in a certain direction. His direction was also deeper into the Heavenly Monster Mountains, but different from where Yang Kai had pointed.
Xia Shengβs figure soon disappeared.
Only then did Yang Kai slowly stand up, turn to the depths of the Heavenly Monster Mountain, and mutter in a low voice, βItβs time to let myself loose and do something big.β
β¦
At the same time, at the foot of the Heavenly Monster Mountains, a group of several hundred people arrived in grand fashion and stopped at an empty clearing.
This group was obviously a well trained military squadron, since even with several hundred people together, their formation wasnβt messy at all. They moved in an orderly fashion, and the several hundred people actually stood there without a sound. There was only a chilly aura that encircled them, like that of a hidden dragon that had just come out into the world to sit above the scattered clouds in the skyβ¦
There was a large flag fluttering in the wind at the head of this squadron.
On the back of the flag was a vivid tiger descending the mountain. It showed fangs and a fierce aura that seemed like it was about to pounce out of the flag.
On the front of the flag was a large βZhouβ character. The character was written with great energy that made it seem like a flying dragon.
This was the elite army of the Guardian of Divine Ascension Country, Zhou Dianβs subordinates.
At this moment, Zhou Dian was riding on a snow-white Nine Horned Dragon Beast. He wasnβt wearing any armour as he simply wore his regular clothes, but the murderous aura around him was still quite chilling.
Zhou Dian chuckled coldly as he looked at the nearby Heavenly Monster Mountains, βHow nostalgicβ¦ the last time I came here was more than two thousand years ago. I never thought that I would return here again in my lifetime!β
As he talked to himself, not a single one of his subordinates dared to utter a sound.
A moment later, Zhou Dian suddenly shouted, βLian Yan, Ban Qing, Yu Man, Yuan Qing!β
Four people stepped out together and cupped their fists in unison, βSubordinate is present.β
These four all possessed powerful First-Order Emperor Realm cultivations and were the four strongest warriors under Zhou Dianβs command. Zhou Dian had naturally brought them along since he was here on the Kingβs orders to capture the Star of Calamity in the Heavenly Monster Mountains.
There were three men and one woman.
Lian Yan had red hair that reached his waist. He looked rather ostentatious, and judging from the faint red light glowing on his body, his Spiritual Energy had some special attribute.
Ban Qing was short and had an ordinary appearance; however, he was highly skilled at assassination. Ban Qing was capable of getting close to even someone as strong as Zhou Dian for an attack if the latter wasnβt on guard.
Yu Man appeared to be about thirty years old and had a curvaceous figure. As she moved, a mature atmosphere seemed to waft from her. She had a high nose bridge that accentuated her elegant features and her alluring red lips caused people to have endless fantasies.
The last one, Yuan Qing, had cultivated some unknown Secret Technique or Secret Art that gave him a soft and shadowy feeling, and coupled with his feminine appearance, he was so beautiful that even most women couldnβt compare to him.
