Chapter 16: My Little Golden Crow Clan is at its Zenith
However, Jin Xu did not pay much attention to this.
The two demon cultivators from the Little Golden Crow Clan, who were deploying their Escape Technique in mid-air, also suddenly hit the golden spiritual power barrier with a thud.
They fell backwards onto the nearby mountain.
"Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to explain what's happening here. Normally, the origin of a small world should have the ability to monitor its realm, but now that I've captured its representatives, it still hasn't made a move.
"I'm starting to suspect that the other party might have hidden away, so we need to hurry to the temple to check.
The Taoist had discussed with Chi Dao before setting off about the situation where the world's origin hides and does not want to return to the Nine Provinces.
He remembered the Ancestor of the Immortal Palace had said that if the world's origin of a small world truly wanted to hide, it would still be very difficult to find.
Unless a cultivator could spread their Spiritual Sense throughout the entirety of the small world, or set up exploration and transmission formations throughout it.
At the time, after Chi Dao finished speaking, he actually wanted to bring out the exploration and transmission Array Plates that had been accumulated over many years in the Kunlun Immortal Palace.
However, Jin Xu dismissed his thoughts by saying that his range of Spiritual Sense could span an entire province, which he wondered was enough.
He directly dismissed the thought of offering the treasure.
Since the small worlds were formed from the fragmentation of several provinces in the Nine Provinces Realm, and the largest was no bigger than a province, since the Taoist's range of Spiritual Sense was so immense, it naturally sufficed.
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Jin Xu did not want to extend the range of his Spiritual Sense so broadly.
One reason was that spreading the Spiritual Sense took time, and maintaining such a vast range of exploration was truly a bit tiring.
"Alright, Taoist, you go and take care of the important matters first, and leave this place to me."
Mr. Bai responded, then took a few steps in mid-air with his four legs, came beside the black phoenix embedded in the cliff, and placed his massive wolf paw on the opponent's skull, then spoke in a deep voice to the demon cultivators of various tribes around him.
"Gentlemen, I swear by the food and cultivation resources of the Snow Wolf Clan... well, I swear by the name of the Snow Wolf Clan that everything I am about to say is true."
Mr. Bai stopped mid-sentence upon seeing the slightly skeptical looks of the surrounding demon cultivators, and quickly corrected himself.
When the demon cultivators of various tribes heard Snow Po swearing by the latter two, the skeptical look in their eyes indeed changed into one of trust.
Aside.
Jin Xu's eyes twitched slightly at this scene.
He suppressed the desire to make sarcastic remarks inside him, and motioned to the two women on the stone platform.
The three of them flew directly towards the decrepit temple on that secluded mountain peak, described by Wu Mingyuan as extremely dirty and messy.
A moment later.
The three landed in front of this temple, where the courtyard walls had collapsed and weeds thrived.
The moment they landed, the Taoist enveloped the mountain peak with his Spiritual Sense.
However, after he did this, the expression on his face turned rather ugly.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Yu Yaoer, noticing Jin Xu's rarely seen expression, asked with concern.
"That Black Phoenix said it always communicated with the world's origin here, but in my exploration with Spiritual Sense, let alone this decrepit temple, there isn't anything unusual even on this mountain.
"I don't know if the world's origin of the Demon Realm never stayed here at all and only appeared temporarily during their communications, or if it sensed danger and slipped away while we were delayed just now."
As the Taoist spoke, he extended the range of his exploration even further.
Yet aside from some ordinary demon cultivators cultivating, wandering, and playing on distant mountains, nothing special was discovered.
"So, temple master, do we still go in?"
Little White ran to the vicinity of the crumbling courtyard walls, sniffed the air, and seeing no other findings, turned his head to ask Jin Xu.
"We've come all this way, naturally, we need to take a look inside. Let's go."
With that, he made a quick movement and appeared inside the courtyard wall. Walking slowly across the small square, with his feet stepping on the broken vines and weeds, he reached the large hall that no longer even had statues.
"Young master, when we came in, the ground was covered with thick dust, but look at this case table, there's not a speck of dust on it."
Yu Yaoer surveyed her surroundings, and upon noticing the case table which seemed like a treasure trove, she quickly alerted her own young master.
Jin Xu had actually noticed the dust-free case table the moment he entered the great hall.
He nodded and stepped forward, scrutinizing the case table with his gaze as he swept over it inch by inch with his Spiritual Sense.
However, the outcome revealed that it was just a long-damaged case table with nothing tricky about it.
"Could it be that the Origin of this realm really sensed the power of my 'Hand Palm Thunder' and decided to hide?"
If that were the case, I would indeed need to employ the straightforward method of covering this realm with my Spiritual Sense, inch by inch, to conduct my search.
The young fighter was pondering this when suddenly the ground beneath his feet trembled, and the rotten wood on the ceiling of the great hall shook, scattering plenty of dust...
Next, several mixed explosions could be heard coming from a distance.
Listening to the direction, it was precisely the position they had just come from.
"Temple master?"
"Young master?"
The two women called out to Jin Xu at the same time, Little White worried about her father, while Yu Yaoer was simply following her lead.
"Uncle is fine. But I didn't expect that Black Phoenix to still have this move up its sleeve, it's truly ruthless enough."
The moment the explosion sounded, his Spiritual Sense shot towards that direction and just happened to see the last Black Phoenix Cultivator from the Little Golden Crow Clan, controlled by Wu Mingyuan, blowing up.
And the original Black Phoenix, embedded in the rocks, having devoured some objects flew out from the bodies of the exploded Little Golden Crow Clan demon cultivators, ignited those dark golden flames on its body once again.
With that, Wu Mingyuan was already free from Mr. Bai's deadly claws and the obstruction of several Cultivators, desperately flying in the opposite direction of the ruined temple.
"Let's go, we'll catch him again when we return."
Jin Xu said, and grabbing the two women under his arms, he dashed out through the ruined temple's roof with a swift movement.
And in just this brief moment, many more explosions echoed from the numerous peaks of the West Pole Peak.
The source...
were all from the demon cultivators of the Little Golden Crow Clan.
...
...
On the necessary path to the burial ground of the Purple Spirit Elephant Clan.
Two demon cultivators from the Little Golden Crow Clan, dressed in black robes and hats, with hats that blocked the detection of Spiritual Sense, stood on a huge dark seal, racing forward at great speed.
One of them, shorter in stature, paused at the edge of the seal and turned to the taller figure.
"Clan brother, our clan leader sent us two to this burial ground of the Purple Spirit Elephant Clan, which was originally a fine task, but now why do I suddenly feel a bit restless?
"Could it be that some mishap is about to befall our clan?"
"Clan younger brother, could it be that you have been too fatigued from overworking these past few days? Our Little Golden Crow Clan has been chosen by the world's Origin as representatives, enjoying our moment in the sun; how could there be any mishaps?"
The taller demon cultivator offered some words of comfort, as the shorter one was about to say something.
But suddenly, a bright light radiated from his chest.
