Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 196: Insight into the Heart, Peeking at the Gold Core Experts

In just a matter of two or three days, Zhou Sui's clone arrived at the location of Blood Shadow Patriarch's Cave Mansion.

Immediately, he saw in the distance a series of massive camps.

Each camp represented a formidable Gold Core force.

Inside the camps, a powerful aura was released, revealing numerous Gold Core experts and even Foundation Building cultivators.

Of course, there were also Qi Refining stage cultivators.

After all, Foundation Building cultivators still needed some servants. Otherwise, who would take care of their daily needs? They couldn't possibly do everything themselves.

These Gold Core forces had completely surrounded Blood Shadow Patriarch's Cave Mansion, leaving no escape.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In an instant, Zhou Sui's two clones split in two different directions. One went left, the other went right. They used the Illusionary Demon Transformation technique to conceal their auras, reaching a level of proficiency where they were almost undetectable.

Even Gold Core experts would be unable to see through their disguise.

Thus, the two clones quickly dispersed to various corners and transformed into gu worms, hiding inside a large tree to temporarily conceal themselves.

"Insight into the Heart!"

At this moment, both clones simultaneously activated the power of their insight.

In fact, this was the extraordinary aspect of the clone technique. No matter what abilities the original body possessed, the clones could replicate them, albeit with half the power. However, it was still more than enough.

What was even more important was that the power of the heart was far more mysterious than spiritual consciousness.

Even Gold Core experts would be unable to perceive the insight of the heart.

Zhou Sui had previously used this technique on Xianxia Peak, but Leng Yuxi was unable to detect anything unusual.

If even Leng Yuxi couldn't sense it, then it went without saying that other Gold Core experts wouldn't be able to either.

Rustle, rustle...

The next moment, the power of insight instantly covered the area, silently and effortlessly penetrating the prohibition formations of each camp, perceiving various sounds from within.

"So many Gold Core forces have come here."

After a moment, Zhou Sui couldn't help but exclaim.

There were indeed too many Gold Core forces that had arrived at Blood Shadow Patriarch's Cave Mansion this time. In addition to Alchemy Cauldron Sect and Qingmu Sect, there were also Shadow Demon Sect, Huangfeng Valley, and even Gold Core sects and families located tens of thousands of miles away.

Although it couldn't be said that all the Gold Core forces on Xianxia Island had gathered here, there were still quite a few.

There were even some Gold Core independent cultivators among them.

Even the mysterious and unpredictable Xuanbao Tower had dispatched three Gold Core experts to this place.

It could be said that Gold Core experts, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, were now everywhere.

"This place is indeed a vortex."

"It was the right choice for Immortal Mist Sect not to participate."

Zhou Sui also took a cold breath. This place was truly extremely dangerous.

You should know that now, within the Immortal Mist Sect, there is only one Gold Core cultivator left, Leng Yuxi. If she were to fall in this place, then the Immortal Mist Sect would be completely finished.

Even though Leng Yuxi is not the sect master of the Immortal Mist Sect, she is still my Dao companion. I cannot let her take risks.

At this moment, he began to hear the voices of many Gold Core cultivators conversing.

"Hehe, this Blood Shadow Ancestor's Cave Mansion is truly formidable. It took eight years of attacking before we finally saw hope of breaking the formation. If someone were to control the Rank Four formation, us Gold Core cultivators would die if we got close."

"No matter what, this is a Rank Four formation, even within the Canglan Sea Region, it is considered rare. Fortunately, Blood Shadow Ancestor was a Nascent Soul ancestor from three thousand years ago. If it were a little closer in time, I wouldn't dare invade this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion."

"That's true. No matter how formidable Blood Shadow Ancestor was, three thousand years is enough time to erase everything. The other party couldn't possibly have survived."

"If we can obtain the legacy of Blood Shadow Ancestor, we will all benefit. At that time, we won't need to stay on this barren island like Xianxia Island. We can completely go to other large islands and search for opportunities to form a Core."

"It is said that Blood Shadow Ancestor was once rampant three thousand years ago, causing heavy losses to the former ruler of Xianxia Island, the Immortal Mist Sect. Even the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Immortal Mist Sect almost perished. His might was fearsome. It can be imagined that such a Nascent Soul ancestor must have left behind a large number of treasures, and there might even be spiritual objects for forming a Core. Of course, even if there are no spiritual objects for forming a Core, obtaining spiritual objects for Core Formation is not bad either."

The Gold Core cultivators discussed one after another.

Their eyes were filled with greed as they looked at the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion in front of them, wishing to rush in immediately and plunder all the treasures inside.

Unfortunately, they were hindered by the Rank Four formation and had no way to proceed.

They could only endure and slowly dismantle this Rank Four formation.

If they forcefully broke in, it would almost certainly be a death sentence.

"But there is something strange. It seems that the Immortal Mist Sect has not sent any Gold Core cultivators here this time. Even Foundation Building cultivators have not come. It's as if they have completely given up on this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?"

A Gold Core cultivator voiced his doubts.

He felt that it was strange for the Immortal Mist Sect not to participate, and even suspected that there might be a conspiracy.

"It is indeed extremely strange. Normally, a Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, especially one located within their own territory, would not be open to other forces without sending anyone over. Could it be that they know something? Perhaps this Blood Shadow Ancestor's Cave Mansion is hiding some danger."

"Hehe, you all are overestimating the Immortal Mist Sect. Do you think the Immortal Mist Sect is still the Nascent Soul sect it was three thousand years ago? It has long since declined. Such a large sect, but currently, there are only two Gold Core cultivators, one of whom is heavily injured and in seclusion to heal. The remaining one is a newly promoted female cultivator at the Gold Core stage. In terms of strength, how can she compare to us veteran Gold Core cultivators? Naturally, she wouldn't dare to take risks and participate in the excavation of this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion. Once that female cultivator at the Gold Core stage falls, then the Immortal Mist Sect will truly be finished."

"I think there is another important reason. Blood Shadow Ancestor is an enemy of the Immortal Mist Sect. Blood Shadow Ancestor probably harbors deep hatred towards the disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect. The sect master of the Immortal Mist Sect is probably aware of this. If they were to rashly enter Blood Shadow Ancestor's Cave Mansion, they might be subjected to some secret methods or even encounter special restrictions specifically targeting the Immortal Mist Sect."

"It's a pity. If the sect master of the Immortal Mist Sect really dared to come, perhaps there would be a chance to secretly attack and kill that female cultivator at the Gold Core stage from the Immortal Mist Sect. At that time, with the Immortal Mist Sect leaderless, perhaps we could easily take over the Immortal Mist Sect's legacy. Unfortunately, the sect master of the Immortal Mist Sect is too cautious, which allowed her to escape this calamity."

"That's true. Even a rotten ship has three nails. Inheriting the legacy of the former Nascent Soul sect, there might be a Nascent Soul inheritance inside. But it seems that there is no chance now."

"To be honest, we can't be so certain that there is no conspiracy behind the Immortal Mist Sect. We still need to be careful and not capsize in this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion."

"Hehe, even if it is a trap, do you really think you can leave now? I don't believe that after three thousand years, Blood Shadow Ancestor can still pull off any tricks."

The Gold Core cultivators discussed one after another.

Of course, they knew how dangerous it was to excavate a Nascent Soul Cave Mansion.

But the Blood Shadow Ancestor of the past had roamed the Canglan Sea Region, leaving behind a formidable reputation. He possessed countless treasures and secret techniques. Everyone coveted such a Nascent Soul inheritance.

Even if they knew there might be pitfalls inside, they were unwilling to give up.

In any case, they had to open the restrictions and formations inside and see the situation inside.
