Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2523: Chapter 2515: Unraveling the Threads (Second Update)

Cross-sect bounty missions in the Tianqin Realm are very rare, perhaps only one in a hundred years.

Those being hunted are usually heinous criminals, but the key is that the side initiating the bounty must offer enough stakes.

Without money, who’s willing to risk their life? If it’s just about connections, several forces jointly issuing a bounty is enough.

Jinwu’s bounty is across all of Tianqin, offering two thousand Upper Spirits, one Fire Embryo, or a Great Dao Cultivation Technique at the Nascent Soul level, your choice.

The reason they gave for the bounty is: privately transmitting the core cultivation technique of Jinwu Sect.

As for which cultivation technique was transmitted, Jinwu Sect didn’t say, and of course, others are embarrassed to ask.

Anyway, as long as the Great Sun True Immortal doesn’t come forward to deny, doesn’t prove his innocence, then it’s private transmission of the cultivation technique.

However, rumors say the Great Sun True Immortal stole Jinwu Sect’s secret treasure and fled after being discovered.

Everyone finds this version closer to the truth—without stealing the secret treasure, how could his advancement be so rapid?

In the pursuit of the Great Sun True Immortal, Tianqin lost about thirty True Immortals.

This guy’s combat strength is truly formidable; once, three True Immortals ambushed him, and he killed two while severely injuring the third.

Finally, it was the Grey Civet Demon Sage of Wanhuan Sect who slew him, and a cycle later, the Grey Civet Demon Sage passed away.

The sect leader of Wanhuan Sect was deeply mournful, once angrily reproaching: Jinwu Sect is doing nothing but scoundrelly deeds!

These are all old words; some say Dong Wanting perished chasing the Great Sun True Immortal, and someone immediately flips through the records.

Indeed, it wasn’t wrong; Dong Wanting truly died in this mission.

Feng Jun was pondering when Wei Sancai spoke up, "And what about a few with the surname Dong, what’s the story with them?"

Thus, members of the Luo Family began carefully investigating those with the surname Dong, but at a glance, there wasn’t anything notable, at most just Golden Core High Stage.

Feng Jun furrowed his brow in silence for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "Yuanwu True Immortal...never mind, Dao Friend Zhuanhe, could you come here?"

Luo Zhuanhe came over, but Luo Yuanwu also approached, "Mountain Master Feng, if you have something, just tell me directly; Zhuanhe’s level is a bit lacking and not suitable for hosting you."

Luo Zhuanhe rolled his eyes at hearing this; I’m Golden Core High Stage, he’s Mid-Stage Golden Core, how am I lacking?

But truthfully, he knew in his heart that he indeed was not just a little lacking compared to Feng Jun.

Feng Jun could roam around with two True Sages, while himself, when seeing his own True Sage, his calves would go weak—can you even compare?

Feng Jun also felt Luo Zhuanhe was not suitable to communicate with him, but thought since the opponent had a True Immortal, directly seeking the True Immortal for communication wasn’t quite appropriate, thus he temporarily changed. Now that the True Immortal came over proactively, it’s just fine.

He asked sternly, "Yuanwu True Immortal, I want to know, after the magical disaster, how many times has Tianqin Comprehensive Enforcement come to clear up?"

Generally speaking, where magical disasters spread, it’s not possible to clear them thoroughly in one go: first, it’s impossible to kill all the people; secondly, even if you kill everyone, as long as the seeds of the magical disaster remain, the disaster persists.

Since three thousand years ago, Xin Mo experienced a magical disaster; every few hundred years, people have to come and clear it up, it only calmed down a bit in the last millennium.

Luo Yuanwu knew this all too well, "After the magical disaster, six more times of clearing up occurred, but the third one slew about seven or eight suspected individuals; the fourth, fifth, and sixth times had none...the sixth was actually a thousand years ago."

After all, everyone is troubled by this thing; just a suspected magical disaster and the entire society becomes paralyzed.

Here in Xin Mo, the magical disasters aren’t just mentioned; the first and second times indeed found issues and implicated a large number of people, while the third time was just suspected, and basically it remained peaceful.

The fourth, fifth, sixth times...honestly, were purely going through the motions, but going through these motions is inevitable.

Otherwise, others might keep suspecting this area hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned.

Feng Jun pondered before asking again, "Which forces’ people came for these enforcement actions?"

Of course the Luo Family had these records; swiftly, the list was made.

The fifth and sixth enforcement actions occurred fifteen hundred years and a thousand years ago respectively. In the personnel list of these two actions, Feng Jun noticed the cultivators of Lingmu Sect—in the fifth instance, there were two Golden Cores, and in the sixth instance, there was actually a Nascent Soul.

Moran also noticed the peculiarity, he knew Feng Jun’s grudge with Lingmu Sect, "How come there are Lingmu Sect in the enforcement cultivators?"

"The enforcement cultivators are not fixed," Luo Yuanwu was rather puzzled, "Lingmu Sect can use wood-based techniques to judge the presence of magical qi, their appearance isn’t unexpected, right?"

Yet Moran knew this answer was a bit far-fetched, he smiled indifferently, "If checking magical qi requires relying on Lingmu Sect, wouldn’t the Taixu’s Technique of Qi Observation be utterly embarrassing?"

Han Hai True Sage hummed lightly, disinterestedly, "The Ice Technique of Xuanshui Sect is the most useful technique for detecting demon cultivation, isn’t it?"

Luo Shiqi guessed what he was thinking and cleared his throat, "The third and fourth times, there were cultivators from Xuanshui Sect and even friends from Taixu. The last two times... it wasn’t that important."

This answer was reliable. The third time, seven or eight suspects were found, but the fourth time, nothing at all. Thus, the importance naturally decreased for the fifth and sixth times.

Feng Jun frowned slightly, looking at the list and spoke, "Immortal Liao Yin of Lingmu Sect... what is his current cultivation level?"

"Immortal Liao Yin should have passed," an elderly Nascent Soul replied. Truly worthy of being from the Clan Affairs Office, knowing their own well, and also being well-informed about immortal affairs outside, "This person’s foundation was damaged; lasting till now would make him over 2,800 years old."

Another immortal added, "It’s been six or seven hundred years since we’ve heard much about him. He was said to have gone out searching for opportunities to advance. It seems now he has likely passed away."

Feng Jun asked thoughtfully, "What was his relationship with Immortal Tiegu?"

The question had gone to the point that even a fool would understand his implication. Luo Yuanwu looked at him in surprise, "Immortal Tiegu was killed by Immortal Yi Jue in the Void... Void? Do you also have a grudge against Tiegu?"

Feng Jun smiled, "It was with True Immortal Yi Jue that we caused chaos in Lingmu Sect; it was me and Elder Cang Jing."

"In saying this, it’s indeed interesting," the Nascent Soul of the Clan Affairs Office said deeply, "Immortal Liao Yin was considered Tiegu’s elder uncle in the sect. Their lineage was displeased with the Spirit Plant Dao, and Liao Yin’s damaged foundation was due to being harmed by Spirit Plant Dao cultivators."

"He tried to seize Yu Teng True Immortal’s opportunity forcefully and was countered by Yu Teng’s master," another Nascent Soul added in detail.

Feng Jun was stunned: Wow, is the Clan Affairs Office of the Secret Realm Clan always this formidable?

Moran wasn’t too surprised, he asked, "Can the Luo Family track the movements of these law enforcement cultivators in Xin Mo?"

"How is that possible?" Luo Yuanwu responded straightforwardly, shaking his head, "That’s a comprehensive law enforcement inspection; they might even contact informants to spy on others’ movements, which is practically a death wish."

"It’s worth digging into Liao Yin more," Moran looked at Feng Jun, "He might have been here."

"We don’t know much about Lingmu Dao’s information," a True Immortal from Luo Family spread his hands helplessly, yet asked curiously, "Does Mountain Master Feng have such a big grudge against Lingmu Dao?"

Feng Jun glanced at Han Hai intentionally or otherwise, "Tiegu borrowed the Sun-Mirroring Glass to set us up; after killing him, I took the Sun-Mirroring Glass from him."

Han Hai True Sage didn’t react, but Luo Shiqi remembered something, "Who was responsible for the sixth enforcement reception from the Luo Family?"

The Nascent Soul of the Clan Affairs Office thought and replied, "It was that kid Luo Jiufeng, though he’s already gone."

Luo Shiqi searched his mind and found no information on this person, "Was he Golden Core?"

"Yes, Golden Core," Nascent Soul Immortal nodded, "The demon cultivations in Xin Mo are gone; for the sake of avoiding suspicion, it was handled by Golden Core."

Luo Shiqi’s mouth twitched; you couldn’t really blame anyone else for this. The Luo Family had to guard against this place while clearing itself. In previous receptions, True Immortals appeared, ready to lend a hand at any time, but the sixth time... Golden Core was sufficient!

Moreover, it was a Golden Core who almost certainly couldn’t condense a Nascent Soul!

Luo Shiqi was unwilling, "Is there any related record left?"

"There is a record, but it’s just a few words," Nascent Soul Immortal dashed his hopeful thinking again.

Moran True Immortal glanced at Feng Jun, "To know about Lingmu Dao, you still need to go to Immortal Yi Jue."

Feng Jun thought and shook his head, "Forget it, she’s gathering insights for Nascent Soul breakthrough; I’ll offer a bounty at White Pebble Beach."

When he broke through the fifth layer of Golden Core, he didn’t disturb Yi Jue. After going to Xingzheng Star and sending away the old angler, she couldn’t not know he returned, but didn’t show herself, so she must be busy.

Moran regarded Yi Jue as his idol; he didn’t understand what was going on between these two, and seriously spoke, "Once you offer a bounty, Lingmu Dao can get the message. They might resort to means to obscure information."

"So my advice is, you’d better still contact Immortal Yi Jue, Lingmu Dao is after all a mutual enemy, leaving her behind also isn’t good, right? Moreover, even if she’s gathering Nascent Soul insights, does she have to stay in the insect battlefield all along?"

Feng Jun tilted his head thinking, "Alright, coincidentally, I’ll ask Elder Qing Ji to check on what’s up with Dong Wanting."

Then he got up and clasped his hands, "Everyone, carry on; I’ll be back soon."

Feng Jun returned to Xingzheng Star, released his thoughts to summon Yi Jue, and after about half an hour, a figure flickered. A palace-garbed beauty appeared before him, still gorgeous but looking a bit haggard, "What’s up?"

"I might have to confront Lingmu Dao again," Feng Jun answered gravely, "I want to inquire about Liao Yin, if you..."

Before he finished, Yi Jue promptly stated, "Sure, I’ll go back with you, just to take a break. I’ll inform Kumu and return together."

"Hold on," Feng Jun said gravely, "If you can reach Elder Qing Ji, tell her as well... I want her help checking on Dong Wanting; I don’t know what procedures are needed?"

"Alright," Yi Jue nodded, then disappeared in an instant.
