"I understand the situation you're describing; however, the special condition you mentioned requires that the injured party still possesses consciousness—meaning, the grand prerequisite is that their mind remains clear... But Qian Xun is practically disintegrated now, her soul adrift and on the verge of dissipation. If she remained in her human form, the energy expenditure might be slightly less, but once she reverts to her true form, the nourishment she can absorb might not even cover her body's needs, further consuming the last vestiges of her life force..." Jun Mo Xie murmured softly.

"So, does that mean even you... are at a loss?" Mei Xue Yan asked worriedly.

"My cultivation is still too shallow; I truly don't have an ideal solution right now, but... there will always be a way!"

Jun Mo Xie said deeply, "What I can do currently is use the Primordial Violet Qi to sustain her life, keeping her vital energy from vanishing. As long as her life force isn't extinguished, there will eventually be a turn of events. I believe by the time I reach the sixth or seventh layer... there will absolutely be a solution! You’ve cultivated in the Hong Jun Pagoda for so long; surely your confidence in this treasure isn't wavering?"

Jun Mo Xie had immense faith in the Hong Jun Pagoda. The elixirs refined within its nine layers could grant immediate immortality even to mortals; resurrection and restoring life were trivial matters for immortal techniques. Although Qian Xun's injuries were severe, in the eyes of immortals, they might not amount to much.

"Mmm, I believe you!" Mei Xue Yan whispered. "But your current predicament is so perilous. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Jun Mo Xie drifted to Qian Xun’s front, placing his palm against her back, once again channeling the Primordial Violet Qi to extend her vitality. He frowned in deep thought. After considering for a long time, he finally broke into a smile and said, "Regarding those experts from the Sacred Lands... I only have one word: Kill!"

"Kill? But you are only at Venerable Third Level now. There are thirty to forty enemies, the weakest among them being Second or Third Level Venerables! Among them are many Saints, and three Saint Emperors are suppressing the formation! If I guess correctly, with Qiao Ying's arrival, the Heavenly Sacred Palace will deploy at least three Guardians for him! How can you kill them? Given their strength, even if they stood still and let you kill them, you might not succeed! This is a fact, an undeniable fact!"

Mei Xue Yan worriedly stated, "Our strength is more than sufficient for ordinary situations, but compared to these people, we are truly too weak! You have successfully stirred up this chaos, but you lack the power to deal with the consequences. In my view... the best course of action right now is to avoid the immediate storm."

"Avoid the storm?" Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and forced a bitter laugh. "Big Sister, you just said I stirred up this chaos. Now that the storm has gathered, the one who started it must retreat? That's rather demoralizing."

"It’s the same point: Do you have sufficient ability to handle the aftermath? If your power falls short, what more do you want to do? What else can you do?" Mei Xue Yan shot him a look.

"Fighting head-on, we definitely can't win; I've never denied that. But we can assassinate them!" Jun Mo Xie smiled strangely. "When it comes to assassination, below the Saint Emperor level, I am completely confident in eliminating them one by one! As for those above Saint Emperor... even if we can't assassinate them, it doesn't mean there's truly no one to deal with them!"

"That statement might have held meaning before, but now... In this world, the Three Great Sacred Lands have spent ten thousand years purging dissidents. All powers capable of rivaling their sect have long been annihilated; they don't even have enemies. What force, what power in the world can deal with them?"

This unintended remark startled Mei Xue Yan herself, because the truth she casually voiced contained a terrifying reality: the Three Great Sacred Lands had no enemies!

All adversaries had been systematically eliminated, destroyed, and reduced to dust over the long ages by the Three Great Sacred Lands, none even leaving behind descendants.

Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years spent purging dissidents... Mei Xue Yan suddenly felt her hair stand on end, chilled to the bone by her own words! If that was the case, wasn't the Heavenly Punishment Forest the last force capable of resisting them?

Was it their final target for extermination?

"Nothing in the world is absolute; there are only things we haven't thought of, not things that cannot be done. As long as one is intent on searching... powerful entities still exist." Jun Mo Xie stated inscrutably. "For example... what about the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Nethers?"

"I knew it. Since you’ve been planning all this in secret, you must have a fallback. However, Mo Xie, I must warn you of one thing: even if the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Nethers acts against the Three Great Sacred Lands, that is merely his personal will, because we do not possess the qualifications to contend with him! We don't even have the right to negotiate as equals!"

Mei Xue Yan's delicate face grew heavy. "Are you hoping only to stir the waters and watch coldly during this upheaval? If that were truly the case, I would support it, but knowing your nature, would you settle for that?"

Jun Mo Xie paused. Mei Xue Yan's words struck him at his deepest vulnerability.

All along, he had grown accustomed to fighting enemies above his level. As Young Master Jun's cultivation advanced, his opponents grew stronger and stronger! This completely stripped him of the capability for direct confrontation, forcing him to utilize every means available to maneuver and cope.

Perhaps bluffing, perhaps using the Empty Fort Strategy, perhaps borrowing the tiger's might, or framing others for crimes...

These tactics were indeed effective and had even yielded great rewards, but since he first started, how many times had he engaged in a true, direct fight?

To survive in this era where strength is supreme, and moreover, to live without anyone daring to provoke him, all of this needed to be built upon one foundation: Strength! Bloodshed! Establishing Authority!

A battle to shock the world!

Only by establishing his absolute authority was it the optimal way to eliminate future troubles. Otherwise, if they were defeated without understanding why, how could they be convinced? They would naturally come back again and again to cause trouble!

This time, perhaps they could opportunistically rely on the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Nethers, but what about next time? Or the time after that? Could this continue indefinitely?

"You are right! We absolutely cannot just stand by and watch this tumultuous change!" Jun Mo Xie's face darkened, and he spoke slowly, word by word.

"Since you have decided to fight, then fight. I believe as long as we gather all of our Heavenly Punishment's power, we will still have room to maneuver, no matter what!" Mei Xue Yan said.

"No!" Jun Mo Xie slowly shook his head.

"No? Do you have another method?" Mei Xue Yan was astonished. "The only viable method now is to gather the elders of Heavenly Punishment and engage them in a decisive battle! Regardless of victory or defeat, we must inflict the heaviest possible cost upon the Three Great Sacred Lands. Only by hurting them, by making them feel the pain, will they realize that provoking us leads to disastrous consequences. Otherwise, just passing the hurdle of Xuan City might be impossible!"

Mei Xue Yan paused again. "As for the two of us, while our strength isn't weak now, we are still no match for a Saint Emperor, unless... we can massively increase our strength overnight! But such a feat has been unprecedented since antiquity."

"Who says there hasn't been one?" Jun Mo Xie said faintly. "Unprecedented since antiquity doesn't necessarily mean I don't have one! I just said, there are only things you can't think of in this world, absolutely nothing that cannot be done!"

His eyes slowly drifted towards that enormous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein, a hint of madness flickering within his gaze.

"You have a way?!" Mei Xue Yan never expected that the words she spoke would elicit such an unexpected answer, one from a distance of a hundred thousand miles!

"We do have a way to increase strength dramatically overnight, but with reward comes risk. The risk involved in this method is immense! And it’s rather wasteful," Jun Mo Xie said slowly, gently stroking the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein beneath him. "Inside this thing, it’s actually hollow. The reason a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein forms is that in a specific, sealed environment rich with spiritual energy, the Azure Cyan Stone Milk first generates."

He smiled faintly. "Once the Azure Cyan Stone Milk appears, it is an incomparably miraculous heavenly medicine. Those fated to consume it can resurrect the dead and greatly increase their power. If it remains undiscovered for a long time, this Azure Cyan Stone Milk will accumulate more and more, and then the outer layer of this milk will gradually harden and petrify—this is essentially the initial surface layer of Azure Cyan Stone Milk being rejected and cast out! After tens of thousands of years of sedimentation and accumulation, it will form the Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk!"

"Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk?" Mei Xue Yan was shocked. She had heard of Azure Cyan Stone Milk, but the term Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk was completely new to her. Because even the Azure Cyan Stone Milk alone was a rare and divine treasure in the world; one drop, even a single drop, could bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones, capable of breaking any bottleneck for a Xuan Practitioner and adding over a century of cultivation out of thin air!

She never imagined there was something superior to Azure Cyan Stone Milk—the Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk!

Shock, profound shock!

But the shock wasn't over yet!

Jun Mo Xie continued slowly, "After an extensive period, when the Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk forms, it functions like a massive Spirit Gathering Array, no longer passively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but actively attracting it. As the spiritual energy becomes denser, the total volume of Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk increases, and the hardness of the outer layer reaches its peak rigidity, only increasing in volume, not in hardness. This increase in volume begins from the inside, meaning they expel impurities that are not qualified—and those impurities form the object before us!"

Jun Mo Xie patted the enormous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein, his voice tinged with a sigh.

"And when this outer layer reaches about three Zhang in length, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein is considered initially formed! The greatest marvel of this thing is that no matter where it is placed, that spot immediately becomes a geomantic paradise yearned for by cultivators! A three-Zhang Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein is enough to transform an entire mountain range into a divine landscape, a blessed cave heaven!"

"As the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein continues to grow, the Heaven and Earth Immortal Milk contained within continues to refine its quality. The longer it endures, the higher its quality. If it reaches the appropriate age, it will transform into the even rarer 'Golden Essence Jade Liquid.' Ancient lore says that any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein capable of producing 'Golden Essence Jade Liquid' must have a body at least ten Zhang long!"

Jun Mo Xie showed a faint bitter smile, patting the spiritual vein beneath him, and said to Mei Xue Yan, "And this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein beneath us is a full forty to fifty Zhang long! Do you know what that signifies?..."

"What?" Mei Xue Yan abruptly interrupted Jun Mo Xie, utterly shocked, leaping up with a flail of limbs completely unbefitting her celestial demeanor, screaming at Jun Mo Xie, "This big rock I’ve been lying on to sleep... is the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein? And inside it is the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein containing such divine objects as 'Golden Essence Jade Liquid'?"

Mei Xue Yan’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Jun Mo Xie, holding her breath, awaiting his answer.

"Yes! What lies before us is an extremely complete Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein! And one that has far surpassed the age limit for 'Golden Essence Jade Liquid.' The substance inside, I believe, just one drop... could raise an ordinary person who has never cultivated Xuan Qi all the way to Supremacy... and that's just the most conservative estimate!"

Jun Mo Xie answered Mei Xue Yan with absolute certainty, rolling his eyelids. "Why do you think your cultivation increased so rapidly? From a mere weasel with no rank, you reached Venerable First Level in just two months? I believe no cultivation technique, however potent, could be this monstrous, right? While the Creation of Heaven and Earth Technique is a contributing factor, the dense spiritual energy here is also a part of it, but the biggest reason is that I placed you on top of this thing from the very beginning, allowing it to constantly cleanse your marrow day and night. Basically, every time you slept, your physique evolved slightly because of it! Especially when you meditate while sitting on it, the efficiency isn't just double, it's several times more effective!"

Mei Xue Yan swayed slightly, groaned, and supported her forehead with one hand...

"Otherwise, why do you think I wouldn't give you bedding? Am I such an inconsiderate person?" Jun Mo Xie continued complaining, rolling his eyes. "Now that you’ve cultivated successfully, the first thing you do is bully me, kicking me down there, and kicking me so many times..."

Young Master Jun felt his luck was bad. He didn't have such a thing when he was cultivating, leading to him being looked down upon by this girl...

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mei Xue Yan let out a soft moan, her eyelids rolled back, and her body went limp, collapsing—she had fainted...

This surprise was too great, so immense that even Mei Xue Yan couldn't bear it!

"No way? How can her psychological endurance be this poor?" Jun Mo Xie looked stunned.

Young Master Jun had clearly underestimated the magnitude of the bombshell he dropped. In reality, only someone sitting on a treasure mountain like himself wouldn't find it earth-shattering. Anyone else encountering such a thing would likely faint or convulse, even if a true immortal descended from the heavens right now...

Because this was simply not something ordinary people should see!

A genuine, rare, and unheard-of... miraculous treasure of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
