70: Advance to the third stage of Taixu Shenbu: One Step Hundred Miles

In contrast, Long Aotian destroying the Jia Family of White Emperor Royal City did not particularly attract the attention or anger of the Shi Family.

Although the Jia Family was affiliated with the Shi Family, they were not, after all, members of the Shi Family. Who knew what heinous deeds the Jia Family had committed to thoroughly offend some major power, leading to their swift annihilation? The Shi Family was helpless against the other party.

Since they were already annihilated, what more could the Shi Family do?

Not to mention, they didn't even know who the perpetrator was yet.

Even if they did know, with the dust settled, the Shi Family, considering its Family interests, would likely pretend not to know and be unwilling to provoke a major power.

Even if the Shi Family could destroy the other party, the price paid would likely be substantial, making it not worth doing.

Furthermore, the Shi Family had already been sufficiently troubled by the Long Family recently... However, the Jia Family was still an affiliated Royal City-level Cultivation Family of the Shi Family. If the Shi Family did not investigate their annihilation, it would be unjustifiable.

This was a matter of attitude!

It must be shown!

It must be displayed for other forces affiliated with the Shi Family to see.

At the same time, it should be seen by the power that annihilated the Jia Family, ideally prompting them to step forward and apologize to the Shi Family.

Otherwise, the Shi Family's influence would be weakened!

The Jia Family even had an Out-of-Body Realm Old Ancestor who died. Clearly, the people sent to investigate would need to have at least Spirit Division Realm cultivation.

Who should be sent?

The three Clan Gods personally selected the two remaining Spirit Division Realm powerhouses in the Family, along with Shi Xiaodan, to go.

After Long Aotian eliminated ninety-eight Out-of-Body Realm powerhouses of the Shi Family, Shi Xiaodan had become one of the few capable Out-of-Body Realm powerhouses left in the Shi Family. His purpose in going with the two Spirit Division Realm powerhouses this time was to temper his courage.

How could a dignified Out-of-Body Realm powerhouse be as timid as a mouse? It was one thing for his own people to mock him, but he absolutely could not let outsiders mock him; that would be an embarrassment to the Shi Family!

Upon arriving at White Emperor Royal City, Shi Xiaodan immediately confirmed that this was undoubtedly the work of the mysterious powerhouse who had wiped out the Shi Family's second ancestral den.

Then, a thought stirred in his heart: Could that mysterious powerhouse be connected to the Long Family?

He knew that the Long Family was currently causing the most trouble for the Shi Family, and ever since the Long Family and Shi Family had been locked in a death struggle, the Shi Family's troubles had been incessant.

This mysterious powerhouse who had destroyed the Shi Family's second ancestral den had emerged after the Long Family and Shi Family began their death struggle, and even the indirect cause of their struggle was related to him.

The strange killing array of Immortal Severing Mountain!

The strange killing array of the second ancestral den!

The strange killing array that destroyed the Jia Family!

If these could not prove a connection between the mysterious powerhouse and the Long Family, then what about Long Aoxue?

Long Aoxue was taken by Shi Jing to the second ancestral den. She was still there when he left the second ancestral den, but when the Shi Family's three Clan Gods arrived after he left, there wasn't even a single ghost inside.

Where did Long Aoxue go?

In the Martial Arts World, where strength is revered and the strong view the weak as ants, even unwilling to spare a glance, would a mysterious powerhouse care about a little girl confined in a Cultivation room?

It could be said that with Long Aoxue's disappearance, Shi Xiaodan could basically conclude that the mysterious powerhouse who destroyed the Shi Family's second ancestral den must be connected to the Long Family, which made him feel a surge of happiness.

The stronger the Long Family became, the more people they would kill from the Shi Family, and the more people the Shi Family lost, the happier Shi Xiaodan would be.

There was no other way. That scoundrel Shi Youse had caused the death of his wife and child, and he never expected the Shi Family's three Clan Gods to actually allow Shi Youse to return from the Fire Cloud Sect to serve as Clan Chief. The Shi Family's action was undoubtedly rubbing salt into his wounds.

His wife and child were murdered, yet the culprit was living a carefree life, even achieving a high position. How could he not hate?

It could be said that the more the Shi Family reused Shi Youse, the more Shi Xiaodan detested Shi Youse, and the more he wished for more powerhouses of the Shi Family to fall, or even for the Family to be annihilated.

Regarding the mysterious powerhouse's connection to the Long Family, Shi Xiaodan had no intention of reporting it whatsoever.

Fight!

The fiercer they fought, the more deaths there were, and the happier he would be... Yunmeng Mountain Range, Long Aotian finally arrived here.

"Hmm? In the Yunmeng Mountain Range, my Divine Sense is actually suppressed?"

Long Aotian was somewhat surprised to find that after entering the Yunmeng Mountain Range, his Divine Sense, which could cover a radius of five million li, was compressed to only cover a radius of five hundred li, which startled him.

Ten thousand times compression.

No wonder those Nascent Soul Realm Old Monsters were unwilling to enter the Yunmeng Mountain Range for training. His Nascent Soul Realm First Revolution Stage cultivation, with a Divine Sense strength reaching a radius of five million li, was a result of his Chaos Dao Body combined with absorbing Ao Zhan's Dragon Soul Power. Now, his Divine Sense strength was comparable to a Mahayana Realm Fifth Revolution Stage.

And what about the Divine Sense strength of a normal Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse?

The Divine Sense strength of a Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage powerhouse only covered a radius of ten thousand li.

Coincidentally, the Divine Sense compression in the Yunmeng Mountain Range was exactly ten thousand times.

This meant that even a Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage powerhouse entering the Yunmeng Mountain Range would be unable to use their Divine Sense.

An Out-of-Body Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage powerhouse entering it would have their Divine Sense cover a maximum radius of ten li.

A Spirit Division Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage powerhouse entering it would have their Divine Sense cover a maximum radius of one hundred li.

Mahayana Realm would be a radius of one thousand li.

Tribulation Transcendence Realm would be a radius of ten thousand li!

With such compression, even Out-of-Body Realm powerhouses dared not easily set foot in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, because with their Divine Sense compressed, they could not perceive dangers at a closer distance to themselves, and the Yunmeng Mountain Range was the most dangerous mountain range in the Eastern Barrens. A slight carelessness could lead to their direct demise.

Powerhouses who reached the Spirit Division Realm and Mahayana Realm undoubtedly cherished their lives more than those in the Nascent Soul Realm and Out-of-Body Realm.

In the Eastern Barrens, reaching the Spirit Division Realm almost meant being among the top tier of the pyramid. Why would they still risk it? Wouldn't it be better to comfortably be an Old Ancestor, revered like a god?

Therefore, the Yunmeng Mountain Range hardly saw one or two people in a year.

If there were any, they were usually people who had strayed in by mistake and would immediately retreat.

Long Aotian was bold due to his skill, daring to enter the Yunmeng Mountain Range to practice Tai Xu Divine Steps, which was truly unique.

Facts proved that his choice to come to the Yunmeng Mountain Range to practice Tai Xu Divine Steps was correct. The Divine Sense compression in the Yunmeng Mountain Range meant that almost no one could use their Divine Sense to spy on him practicing Tai Xu Divine Steps.

As long as the Yao Beasts in the Yunmeng Mountain Range did not attack him, then his practice of Tai Xu Divine Steps in the Yunmeng Mountain Range was safe.

And even if Yao Beasts attacked, Long Aotian was not worried. He could now cross thirty li in a single step. Unless a Yao Beast was too foolish, it would be impossible for it to chase him all over the Yunmeng Mountain Range.

If he intruded into other Yao Beasts' territories, Long Aotian wouldn't even need to act; other Yao Beasts would deal with the Yao Beast chasing him.

Long Aotian was not worried about his safety at all, especially since he also had the Treasure Pagoda. He could even enter the Treasure Pagoda in front of Yao Beasts.

With the intelligence of Yao Beasts, most would likely think he had left using some mysterious means. Why would they wait there for him to come out?

"Why is there Divine Sense compression here?

Is it because of the mist?

Does the mist of Yunmeng Marsh also have a Divine Sense compression effect?

A bit strange.

It seems that after my cultivation improves, I really need to thoroughly review Revered Master's memories. Otherwise, I won't even be able to fully understand the Eastern Barrens..."

Although Long Aotian was incredibly curious about the Divine Sense compression in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, he did not dwell on the issue.

What he needed to do now was to advance Tai Xu Divine Steps to the third stage, one hundred li per step.

Everything else had to make way for this task!

He knew very well that if his cultivation was insufficient, curiosity could sometimes kill him. Following his own pace, he would have plenty of time and opportunities later to figure out these problems.

In the misty Yunmeng Mountain Range, fortunately, Long Aotian's Divine Sense strength reached a radius of five million li. Although his Divine Sense was compressed, it could still cover a radius of five hundred li.

The third stage of Tai Xu Divine Steps was one hundred li per step. Even if he broke through to the third stage, when performing Tai Xu Divine Steps, with his Divine Sense scouting the way, he wouldn't be unable to see the road conditions clearly, or crash into a tree, or crash into a cliff...

In the silent Yunmeng Mountain Range, Long Aotian would flash to this mountaintop for a moment, then to that mountainside, then appear on top of a certain tree.

Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, practicing day and night!

Finally, on the twentieth day, he successfully advanced Tai Xu Divine Steps to the third stage:

Tai Xu Hundred Li, one hundred li per step!

The Peak speed of a Spirit Division Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage powerhouse!

"To escape under the nose of a Mahayana Realm powerhouse, this speed is still a bit lacking..."
