Chapter 282: Accumulating for a Breakthrough (1)
 

There were few people and many poisonous creatures.

This was the Southern Wasteland.

Along the way, Zhu Wuwan encountered very few cities and the like. There were not even many villages and towns. There were lush forests and shrubs everywhere, and there were often poisonous insects and poisons running amok.

Because of this special environment, the Southern Wasteland was also known as the Poison Barren Land and the Desolate Gu Land. The Poison Gu Art was famous all over the world and was known as a dangerous place in Dongyuan Continent.

Therefore, even if there were some super immortal sects in other regions that were stronger than the super immortal sects in Southern Wasteland, they would not easily invade. Whether it was poison or venomous spells, the super immortal sects here were enough to make the super immortal sects in other territories extremely afraid.

In addition, the Southern Wasteland was far inferior to other regions in other aspects except for the poisonous creatures and Gu. The immortal sects in other regions rarely cultivated poison and Gu. Therefore, the Southern Wasteland had been able to maintain its independence for many years and was not easily invaded by cultivators from other territories.

Otherwise, as one of the leaders of the Southern Wasteland, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would not have been able to develop to its current state.

With Zhu Wuan’s strength, he was already able to move unhindered at the Golden Core stage. Although he encountered many dangers along the way, they could not do anything to him.

Before he left, Zhu Wuyan had even carefully selected three great spirit weapons for him. These spirit weapons had allowed Zhu Wuyan’s overall strength to soar by a large margin.

Gray Snake Dagger!

The inferior-grade spirit weapon was one of the more powerful inferior-grade spirit weapons, and it was only a little bit away from being upgraded to a middle-grade spirit weapon. It was Ou Yangming’s trump card, and it was also the only treasure that Zhu Wuwan had taken a fancy to.

Seeing that Zhu Wanhao was going on a long journey and that the journey was fraught with danger, Ou Yangming gave the spirit weapon to Zhu Wanhao.

The dagger was grayish-white in color and almost invisible when it was used at full power. It was a precious treasure for sneak attacks and assassinations. Its power was far greater than the Lightless Needle, but it was slightly larger.

Wood Crystal Armor!

A low-grade spiritual weapon was an extremely rare defensive spiritual weapon among low-grade spiritual weapons. Its entire body was like a green jade crystal, and it gave people a very strange feeling when worn. Its entire body was green, and it always made people have a bad impression.

Moreover, Spirit Tools could be big or small, and they possessed intelligence. Their power far surpassed that of magic tools, and they were also easy to control. Magic tools could not compare to them.

If he used the Wood Crystal Armor to its limit, his entire body would be wrapped in it, and even his head would be green.

The value of a low-grade defensive spirit weapon was as high as several spirit weapons of the same level. The value of the Wood Crystal Armor even exceeded the Gray Snake Dagger to a certain extent.

Azure Frost Sword!

A low-grade spirit weapon was very sharp, but it did not suit Zhu Wuyan’s wishes. Zhu Wuyan actually wanted a blade-type spirit weapon. Unfortunately, he had plundered so many immortal cultivation sects, but he did not get a blade-type spirit weapon.

He had no choice but to choose the strongest sword-type spirit weapon as an offensive weapon. Fortunately, the Tianya Mingyue Technique could be used with both sabers and swords.

These were the three great spirit weapons that Zhu Wanhao carried with him, and they were also the three great spirit weapons that he could control freely. As for the other spirit weapons, Zhu Wanhao had either sold them to Ou Yangming Mingyi or kept them in his storage ring to be sold at a suitable place.

Spirit weapons were hard to come by. Generally, only Golden Core Perfected Cultivators could unleash their power. Early and mid Golden Core Perfected Cultivators could easily control low-grade spirit weapons, while late and peak Golden Core Cultivators could easily control middle-grade spirit weapons.

However, although Zhu Wuan was an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, he was no weaker than a late-stage Golden Core cultivator in many aspects. It was not difficult for him to control a low-grade spirit weapon.

With a body full of spirit weapons and all kinds of powerful high-level spiritual spells and immortal martial arts, Zhu Wuwan’s comprehensive strength was already comparable to an ordinary Golden Core perfected stage cultivator. The dangers on the road were indeed nothing to him.

On this road, it wasn’t Zhu Wuyang who was in danger, but many cultivation sects and cultivation markets.

Ghost Pagoda Forest Market!

This was the first cultivation market that Zhu Wanwan had encountered on the road. It was said to be the largest cultivation market in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with a circumference of several dozen kilometers. It was filled with all kinds of shops opened by cultivators.

Zhu Wanhao had also learned about this place when he was plundering a small immortal cultivation sect. Therefore, after plundering that small immortal cultivation sect, he immediately rushed here.

As for how they plundered it, it was naturally after they disguised themselves and used the Heavenly Eye Technique to find out how much evil they had done. Then, they would give different degrees of punishment.

In order to avoid being associated with the hot-blooded old man, Zhu Wuyang’s punishment was different.

On the way to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Zhu Wuwan had already encountered many immortal sects. Basically, they were not Zhu Wuwan’s match. Therefore, after Zhu Wuwan infiltrated them, she would use different methods to punish the evil cultivators inside.

They could either break their legs, cut off their heads, destroy their internal organs, or use poison … In any case, they had different methods to avoid repetition and let other immortal cultivation forces notice the similarities.

After all, who knew if the cultivation sects that were punished by Zhu Wuyang had the backing of a big shot? Zhu Wuyang didn’t want to be hunted down by Nascent Soul Stage old monsters or even higher-level experts.

Ou Yangming thought that Zhu Wuyan would encounter many dangers and difficulties along the way, so he had to keep a low profile.

However, he didn’t know that not only did Zhu Wuan not keep a low profile, but she also took the opportunity to kill along the way. To be precise, she was chivalrous and righteous along the way, doing great things that shocked the world one after another.

It was not enough to punish the cultivation sects, but they had even set their hands on a large-scale cultivation market. If Ou Yangming were to find out that they were so audacious, he would definitely be scared to tears.

Of course, Zhu Wanhao was so hardworking that she naturally earned a lot of breakthrough stones and resources. Her strength had increased by several times compared to when she had just left the Nine Zhao Nation, and she was getting closer and closer to the peak of the early-stage Golden Elixir realm.

The Primordial Dao Golden Core in his middle dantian was already the size of a ping pong ball. Under normal circumstances, an early-stage Golden Core cultivator would only be the size of a thumb when they cultivated to the extreme.

Zhu Wuyan was three times more refined than him.

Such an early Aurous Core cultivator was extremely rare even in the entire world.

After walking into the large-scale cultivation market of Ghost Locust Forest, Zhu Wuyang circulated his Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing to the extreme to investigate the strength of the cultivators in the cultivation market of Ghost Locust Forest.

There were tens of thousands of Qi Condensation cultivators, nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even a dozen Aurous Core cultivators. The strongest among them had already reached the late Aurous Core stage. As expected of a large-scale cultivation market, there were quite a number of experts inside.

Fortunately, that late-stage Golden Core cultivator’s Golden Core should only be around the first or second transformation, so Zhu Wuwan could still take him down.

Since that was the case, it was time to take action!
