Hiss...

The people present couldn't help but gasp in astonishment as they witnessed this scene.

"The Demon-Slaying Heavenly Saber is truly the final disciple of the Great Sage of Heaven and Earth, truly invincible among peers of the same realm."

"Indeed, every vice commander of the Black Dragon Army is a top-tier expert, yet none could last a single move against him. It seems unless the Great Sage appears, no one can match him."

...

Wang Baole listened to the discussions around him without any change in expression, merely slowly turning his gaze to the disciple of the Northern Abyss Sacred Dynasty.

"Do you wish to seek revenge for him?"

The disciple of the Northern Abyss Sacred Dynasty was already terrified, with no time to even flee, let alone dare to fight Wang Baole. He quickly said, "No... I dare not."

Wang Baole smiled and said, "If that's the case, then get lost. Remember to stay far away from me whenever you see me in the future."

"Yes."

After responding, the disciple of the Northern Abyss Sacred Dynasty quickly turned and fled.

He was tripped by something and fell flat on the ground.

But he didn't dare to look back, quickly scrambling up and rushing into the forest.

Wang Baole didn't continue to pursue the disciple, instead collecting the spoils from the seventh vice commander.

He was about to speak when he noticed that the seventh vice commander's body was being swallowed by the earth.

Such a bizarre scene made Wang Baole subconsciously frown.

Every move he made was under the watchful eyes of everyone around.

The others didn't know what was happening with Wang Baole, and their subconscious reaction was to keep their distance.

Just then, Wang Baole spoke: "Stop."

Hearing this, everyone present trembled and froze in place, all turning to look at Wang Baole with ingratiating smiles on their faces.

One of the elders asked, "May I ask what important matter you have, Heavenly Saber Daoist Friend?"

Wang Baole pointed at the corpse of the seventh vice commander: "Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"

The elder breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Not to hide it from you, Daoist Friend, but according to legend, after the Demon Saint Taotie passed away, his divine soul merged with the entire Northern Jade Mountain.

Therefore, the entire Northern Jade Mountain possesses Taotie's devouring attribute, and any dead objects that can be consumed will be devoured by it."

"I see."

Wang Baole murmured, "In that case, the Demon Saint Taotie hasn't truly fallen."

The elder nodded slightly: "You could say that, but no one knows when that Demon Saint will fully awaken. However, if one gains his approval, they can obtain a drop of Taotie's essence blood and comprehend the devouring divine ability."

Hearing this, Wang Baole's eyes narrowed instantly. To others, the Taotie's essence blood was merely for comprehending divine abilities, but to him, it was different.

He already possessed the Taotie body, and if he could obtain that drop of essence blood, he would likely be able to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao.

This trip to Northern Jade Mountain was indeed not in vain.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "You may all leave now."

Whew...

Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, cupping their fists and bidding farewell.

Wang Baole pondered for a moment and decided to first reunite with his two wives.

Although communication talismans couldn't be used in this mountain, he believed that with his spiritual connection to his two wives, he could definitely find them.

He began searching through the dense forest, and before long, he discovered a thousand-year blood ginseng and a flesh ganoderma.

Moreover, these two medicinal herbs had already developed spiritual intelligence, making them rare and precious natural treasures.

A day later, Wang Baole finally reunited with his two wives, Nangong Yu and Wang Yufei.

Seeing that the two women were unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Yu'er, Yufei, are you two alright?"

"We're fine."

The two women said in unison.

"Husband, where should we head now?" Nangong Yu asked.

Wang Baole said, "Naturally, we'll advance toward the core region of Northern Jade Mountain to contend for the Taotie's essence blood."

"Alright."

After responding, the two women followed Wang Baole and continued forward.

As the trio ventured deeper into the mountain, they encountered more and more fellow disciples.

In just one day, over a dozen disciples from the Wendao Academy had gathered around Wang Baole.

Along the way, they also had considerable gains.

At dusk, the group set up camp on a small hillside.

Wang Yufei and Nangong Yu went together to a small stream beside the camp to fetch water.

Although they no longer needed to satisfy their appetites, with a great chef like Wang Baole around, the ritual of a good meal could not be neglected.

Just as the two women finished fetching water and were about to return to camp, several beautiful and haughty women blocked their path.

Seeing the newcomers, Nangong Yu subconsciously prepared to take out her magic weapon to face them.

The red-robed woman leading them looked at Wang Yufei and said, "This Daoist Friend, this Immortal Maiden sees you have an exceptional bone structure. Are you interested in joining our Heartless Palace?"

Hearing this, Wang Yufei refused without a second thought: "Thank you for your kind offer, but I am already married and not interested in your Heartless Palace."

The red-robed woman not only didn't get angry but instead smiled and said, "Daoist Friend, although you wear a beautiful hairpin, your body of pure yin is still intact. It seems your husband doesn't truly love you. Why not join our Heartless Palace? That way, you can spare yourself the trouble of finding someone to forget."

Nangong Yu didn't speak; she just glanced at Wang Yufei.

They had lived together for a long time and were now like sisters, but if Wang Yufei wanted to leave, she would not stop her.

Wang Yufei continued, "Senior Sister, your Heartless Palace may be wonderful, but I have no desire to forget love. My husband and I have not performed the rites of Duke Zhou, not because he doesn't love me, but because he hopes I can preserve my body of pure yin to reach a higher level. There is no need to mention this again."

At these words, a green-skirted girl standing beside the red-robed woman became furious and said arrogantly:

"Little girl, don't be so ungrateful. It's your good fortune that our Senior Aunt Hong takes a liking to you. She is a Nirvana Realm elder of our Heartless Palace. With your background, you probably haven't received guidance from a Nirvana Realm expert in your entire life."

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu immediately let out a cold snort: "What a big tone. In my Wendao Academy, let alone Nirvana Realm cultivators, we have Half-Sages and Saints. Don't think you're the only ones from Holy Lands. If we really fight, we are not afraid of you."

Hearing this, the women from the Heartless Palace's expressions changed slightly. They never expected to run into disciples from a Holy Land just by encountering two young girls fetching water.

Elder Hong said flatly, "So they are disciples from the Wendao Academy. We were blind just now. Farewell."

"Wait."

Nangong Yu spoke, stopping the group.

"Is there something else?" Elder Hong asked with a slight frown.

Nangong Yu said in a deep voice, "Just now, that green-skirted girl insulted my sister. Do you think you can leave without apologizing?"
