Several figures confronted the light-blue figure.

"I... I..." The light-blue figure's expression flickered. "I've already told you, I didn't know he would do that... As for a solution... there is one..."

She bit her lip, seemingly reluctant to speak.

"Spit it out!"

"If you don't tell us, then our only option is to perish together!"

"Actually... giving him some space to grow might be good... But this Cultivation World is so dangerous... What if I can't sense him...?"

「A few days later.」

This seems to be the border of Ling Province... Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds.

Ling Province, one of the Nine Provinces, was a relatively conservative and closed-off continent.

Of course, that was only relative.

Ling Province didn't forbid cultivators from Outer Continents from entering; it just had many rules.

The concentration of Spiritual Energy in Ling Province was very high. It was home to many Ancient Clans who revered ancient customs, which might be quite discomfiting for cultivators from Outer Continents.

These Ancient Clans weren't limited to the Human Clan; other Spirit Clans resided there as well.

I remember Nanrong Biyou is supposed to be in Ling Province.

Little Jiao Huo mentioned that... in Ling Province, at the peak of Sealing God Mountain within the Biyou Sea, lies Bi You Palace...

Now that I have the Emperor Spirit Pearl, I should give it to her, or find someone to deliver it.

Then, I'll focus on cultivation... As for them, if they come looking for me... well, if it comes to blades, then so be it.

Wang Mu shook his head.

By severing emotions, would they see it as a form of escape?

Without emotions, I'll just completely let myself go.

In the game, after initially cultivating the Seven Emotions Divine Skill, the lack of emotions would cause a player's favorability with other female leads to plummet.

Naturally, players would avoid meeting the female leads at that stage.

But now, Wang Mu was fearless and indifferent.

I won't return to the Sword Sect for the time being... There's no need to go back and walk into their hands.

As for the Fengyue Sect... Brother Qin was captured because of me. I'll go if I can when the time comes, but if not, then so be it.

Wang Mu ascended on his sword, skimming through the air.

Without emotional ties, I felt like I was cutting loose a bit.

I've never been to Ling Province before. This means I won't trigger any Travel Events immediately upon arrival.

I just need to find a city and gather some information.

After ascending on his sword, it wasn't long before Wang Mu spotted a city.

Qingqiu City.

Wang Mu was slightly taken aback.

Speaking of Qingqiu, he recalled Hu Yu'er from Ling Province, whom he had met during the Potential Battle.

She was the only cultivator friend he had made in Ling Province.

Having a cultivator friend to help while traveling would certainly be more convenient.

It's just not guaranteed that we'll run into each other.

The landscape of Ling Province was mostly flat, with few steep mountains. The lay of the land and its Spirit Veins were clearly defined and orderly, presenting a rather pleasing sight.

Descending on his sword, Wang Mu surveyed the city.

He had visited several cities built by cultivators.

Most of these cities were built by powerful Loose Cultivators who had settled in an area. They occupied nearby Spirit Veins, land, and other resources, thereby maintaining a degree of local order.

Of course, this was true for cities built by Loose Cultivators aligned with the Righteous path.

Cities built by Loose Cultivators on the Evil Path, however, were typically characterized by bloodshed and constant conflict, through which they also seized more resources.

The city was guarded by two Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivators.

Based on this, the most powerful Loose Cultivator in Qingqiu City probably doesn't exceed the Nascent Soul realm.

If the guard disciples were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, then there might be Divinity Transformation cultivators present.

This assessment was purely based on experience...

However, these two cultivators had distinctive black patterns on their skin, and their ears bore fine fur, resembling members of an Ancient Clan who hadn't fully evolved.

Wang Mu stepped forward. After stating his origin, proving his identity, and paying one Spirit Stone as an entrance fee, he received a Fox Token and was allowed to enter the city.

"Outer Continent cultivator, please be discreet and careful with your words within the city."

Before he entered the city, one of the two guard cultivators offered this brief reminder.

Upon entering Qingqiu City, ordinary cultivators were forbidden to fly. Only a very few powerful cultivators possessing large sky-controlling Magic Artifacts were permitted to do so.

The first thing Wang Mu did upon entering the city was to look for a Workshop.

At Workshops where cultivators gathered, one could learn many rumors about Ling Province.

These rumors included tales of various adventures and ancient ruins, the appearance of Exotic Treasures, conflicts within the continent, Grotto Heavens and blessed lands, and more...

Although, not all of them might be true.

Nevertheless, such places were excellent sources of information. Wang Mu's main goal was to inquire about the location of Bi You Palace.

Or perhaps buy a detailed map of Ling Province... to get the lay of the land, so to speak.

The cultivators of Ling Province were indeed more peculiar than those from other continents.

The Ancient Clan members here were either massive like beasts or tiny like ants. Most had a half-human, half-beast form due to their unique cultivation methods. This was especially evident on the dueling platforms within the city where groups of cultivators engaged in Duels. Some had fox ears and cat tails, others sported bear paws and crane claws—a veritable menagerie that would astonish any Outer Continent cultivator visiting for the first time.

I saw some of this during the Potential Battle, but it wasn't this exaggerated...

Wang Mu watched with a neutral expression, finding nothing particularly odd about it.

Ling Province must be a favorite place for certain types of cultivators; there are so many Beast-eared Girls here.

Arriving at a Workshop, Wang Mu spent twenty Spirit Stones to purchase a detailed map of Ling Province.

He felt ripped off, as a map of Huangtian Continent only cost ten Spirit Stones.

But it didn't matter much to him.

With tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in his possession, there was no need to argue with these Spirit Clan members over such a small amount.

However, as Wang Mu probed the Jade Scroll with his Divine Sense, a detailed map of Ling Province appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. He gave it a quick scan...
