Chapter 681 - 330: Dark Altar Master, Corpse Fate Technique Perfected
Nine out of ten times, it’s targeting the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
"It seems that the events occurring in the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range are quite significant." Wen Jiu proceeded to use the Corpse Fate Technique for divination.
After meticulously unraveling the threads, Wen Jiu finally saw the information he wanted to know in the Dark Realm. Just a month before the battle between Longteng Liyi and Lin Yingyun Mountain, Golden Core cultivators from the Spirit Control Department and Spirit Suppressing Army investigating the matter of the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core consecutively disappeared in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
In the span of one month, seven Golden Core cultivators went missing, and each time they vanished, death and disappearance inevitably followed, causing the Life Soul Lamp to extinguish. Hence, Deng Lai was ordered to enter the mountains along with several other Middle Stage Golden Core cultivators to check the situation, but no matter how they used spirit beasts or techniques to investigate, they couldn’t obtain any clues.
Even summoning their souls proved futile, which means that those Golden Core cultivators’ souls did not escape.
If a Qi Cultivator or Foundation Establishment cultivator went missing in such a manner, no one would care. After all, even a Fake Pill Cultivator, with proper preparation, could easily cause the death and soul destruction of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator.
But Golden Core cultivators are different; Golden Cores generally have extremely strong life-saving techniques. Whether it’s the Spirit Control Department or the Spirit Suppressing Army, they cultivate profound methods and are top-notch among Golden Cores, making it impossible for even higher-level cultivators to kill them instantly, no matter how well-prepared. Only powerful Late-stage Golden Core cultivators might be able to accomplish this.
Of course.
That is only a possibility.
Even with a significant difference in strength, it’s impossible for no trace to be left behind.
Even a fish struggles before it dies.
More so for Master Dan.
"Interesting." Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised to have felt nothing and received no news in Qi Mountain or Cold Pool Mist Valley, given the considerable distance.
The Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone couldn’t possibly be constantly monitoring every slight movement.
"This matter is certainly related to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect." After ending his divination for Deng Lai, Wen Jiu began divining the Late-stage Demon Pill Cultivator from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect who took action at Phoenix Snow Celestial Peak.
However.
While divining him, a large portion of the celestial secret and fate was concealed, akin to Anchaosheng.
As for other Demon Pill Cultivators, they knew nothing, just like the situation with Lu Changyin.
Nevertheless, Wen Jiu did not come away empty-handed. From the other demon cultivators of the Dark Altar Lineage who Lu Changyin revealed information about, Wen Jiu saw some details sealed by demonic evil techniques.
It indicated that the Dark Altar Lineage was sending some items to the underground of the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
What it is.
Unknown.
Also indefinable.
Just then, an anomaly suddenly arose outside the Dark Realm, and in the celestial secret and fate divined, there appeared a sentence that made Wen Jiu immediately exit the Dark Realm and cease divining.
"Young one!
Are you courting death?"
...
After a while.
Wen Jiu didn’t feel East Spring Undying Bone or any abnormalities on himself.
Completely unaffected by being targeted by a life technique.
In that case.
Wen Jiu felt much relieved.
Calming down, Wen Jiu also realized that the sentence wasn’t directly appearing in the Dark Realm but manifested in the celestial secret and fate of a demon cultivator during divination.
"In other words, that person sensed someone’s divination and thus left a sentence in the celestial secret and fate of the demon cultivator using a life technique." After careful analysis, using the Corpse Fate Technique again to enter the Dark Realm and confirm no anomalies within, Wen Jiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This person must be the life technique soul cultivator who obscured the celestial secret and fate information." Wen Jiu continued to ponder, "Perhaps he truly sensed the presence of Three Thousand Blood Inks through a life technique."
Thinking about this, Wen Jiu immediately exited the Dark Realm and began fervently cultivating the Corpse Fate Technique, preparing to perfect it at the fastest speed.
At the same time, he sent East Spring Undying Bone to Three Thousand Blood Inks, ready to leave Cold Pool Mist Valley at any moment.
With East Spring Undying Bone present.
Even if Golden Core Perfection arrives.
He wouldn’t be afraid!
If he couldn’t win, couldn’t he still escape?
...
Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
Underneath the Floating Domain.
A Faceless Cultivator clothed in a black robe, surrounded by black pythons like smoke and mist, gradually manifested in the night. Fully transforming into human form, that faceless countenance suddenly looked down towards deeper underground, as if someone there was staring at him.
After several breaths, the Faceless Cultivator slowly nodded, murmuring, "A Corpse Cultivator who practices a life technique?"
Moments later.
The Faceless Cultivator spoke again.
"Master, please allow me to first handle the more important matters... Once things are concluded, I will surely capture him and offer him to you, offer him to our great True Spirit Demon God!"
His voice constantly echoed in the cavern, startling a group of sleeping demon bats deep within the earth.
They shrieked and flew away.
Frightened, they scattered.
As the sounds gradually weakened, the Faceless Cultivator no longer lowered his head but instead instantly transformed back into invisibility, merging into the darkness, silently continuing to fly and escape further.
Two days later.
A massive black hall hidden in the depths of the earth came into view, outside the hall, Celestial Yin Qi transformed into streams, hundreds or thousands of them flowing outside the Black Hall, constantly intermingling and corroding the demonic qi emitted by the Black Hall, yet ceaselessly vanishing, releasing toxic mist enough to cause the instantaneous death of a Golden Core cultivator.
But amidst these toxins, countless joyful True Demons occupied the space, enjoying these toxic mists and greedily devouring the fumes sweeping past them.
Even though each True Demon had reached the Pseudo-Tier Three level, they continued to grow.
