Being a Late Bloomer in the Cultivation World

Generally, a cultivator cannot control a magical artifact beyond the range of their divine sense.

Once he got away from those three incredibly powerful magic swords, he was confident he could handle a single Sky-Splitting Carving.

But the moment he let his guard down, he saw three daggers, like shards of ice, instantly pierce his chest and abdomen.

"How is this possible?" The tall, thin man's face was like golden paper. He stared behind him, his expression a mask of utter disbelief.

He didn't know that Wei Tu was controlling the Ice Flood Dragon Sword not only with his divine sense, but also with the Geomagnetic Primordial Light, which had a much longer range.

'So, Qingzhu Mountain cultivators are nothing special after all.' Several miles away, Wei Tu recalled the three Ice Flood Dragon Swords and heaved a sigh of relief.

At the start of the fight, he had been worried about whether he could defeat the two Qingzhu Mountain cultivators. After all, he was just an independent cultivator, while the square-faced man and his partner were high and mighty Immortal Sect cultivators.

Only after the fight was truly over did Wei Tu realize that their combat prowess was far inferior to his own.

The miraculous effect of the Primordial Forbidden had played a part, of course. But even without it, he wouldn't have been at a disadvantage against either of them alone. In fact, he likely could have won.

'It's not that the square-faced man and his partner were too weak. Rather, my personal wealth is just too substantial, and my methods are far more unexpected than an average cultivator's.'

Wei Tu reflected.

The Ice Flood Dragon Sword, the Primordial Forbidden, the Sky-Splitting Carving—any one of these assets cost a tremendous amount of Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, over ninety percent of the disciples from the Three Immortal Sects who entered the Yunze Secret Realm were just like Kou Hongying—mere War Cultivators with no specialized skills to their name.

These people might have impressive backgrounds, perhaps as the heirs or disciples of some Golden Core True Monarch, but that didn't mean they were personally wealthy enough to purchase powerful magical artifacts, talismans, or similar items.

Next, Wei Tu looted the Spiritual Objects from the bodies of the square-faced man and his partner. He took the Storage Bags from their waists, then used the Corpse-Dissolving Powder he had obtained from Geng Wen and sprinkled it on the two corpses.

A little under an hour later, the two bodies had been corroded into Blood Water by the Corpse-Dissolving Powder, vanishing within the Dragon Bone Forest.

'It's a pity. The Seven-Colored Illusion Moth's life was linked to the square-faced man. After he died, the moth died too.'

Wei Tu glanced back at the dead Seven-Colored Illusion Moth with a look of regret. He plucked it from the bushes and tossed it into his Storage Bag.

After dealing with everything, Wei Tu did not linger in the Dragon Bone Forest. Instead, he walked out and headed toward the core region of the Yunze Secret Realm.

Killing the square-faced man and his partner made him realize something. Although gathering Spiritual Objects from Spiritual Lands was necessary, it was nowhere near as efficient as killing people and taking their treasures.

The square-faced man and his partner attacked him because he took the Dragon Bone Flower… But in the Yunze Secret Realm, Treasure Stealing is a matter of individual ability. There's no need to kill each other over it…

The ultimate reason was simply that the square-faced man and his partner had been greedy and wanted to kill him for his treasures.

They simply never imagined they could be the ones to die.

Of course, this wasn't the only reason Wei Tu was abandoning the Spiritual Lands to head for the core region.

For one, although the Spiritual Objects in these seven Spiritual Lands were valuable, they didn't include the Core Formation Spiritual Object he urgently needed.

A Core Formation Spiritual Object is a Tier Three Spiritual Object, which can only grow near the Tier Three Spirit Veins in the core region.

For another, the Spiritual Objects in the other Spiritual Lands had likely already been completely harvested by the various Influences, just like the three great Spiritual Objects in the Dragon Bone Forest. There was no point in going to them now.
