Chapter 703 - 341: Dragon Soars and Presses In; Reunion with an Old Friend
"Yes, the ancestor once said that none but a Heterodox Golden Core should enter, and none but those in the late stage of Golden Core should venture alone. If the Qi Guang Sect produces another Heterodox Golden Core in the future, the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven could be reopened. Although the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven is a Land of Death, where survival is a slim chance, it is indeed a treasure trove comparable to the Tier Four Yin Vein for the Heterodox Sect," Lin Hai stated solemnly.
Comparable to a Tier Four Yin Vein!
The words "Tier Four Yin Vein" were too sensitive for Wen Jiu, as everything he was doing in East Pole Immortal City was essentially to find an opportunity to access a Tier Four Yin Vein.
If it was truly as Lin Hai said, then the Spiritless Death Land being comparable to a Tier Four Yin Vein would indeed be a pleasant surprise?
If that were truly the case.
Qi Guang Sect.
He was covered!
Wen Jiu’s expression involuntarily turned serious, and he quickly asked, "Such important information, and your ancestor didn’t place a Silencing Spell on you, or use some other troublesome method to restrict you from speaking?"
"The ancestor is already dead, and the spells have lost their effect," Lin Hai replied truthfully, with the same sincerity as always.
"Aren’t you afraid of me soul-searching you?" Wen Jiu couldn’t help but ask again, trying to probe.
Lin Hai continued to be honest, "The hidden technique brought out by the Qi Guang Sect juniors is with Red Fire Zhenren. As soon as I fall, the hidden technique artifact will immediately self-immolate, burning all the sect techniques of Qi Guang Sect to ashes.
As for the array order to open the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven, the ancestor was already prepared. This array order is not a physical artifact but a Divine Soul Array Order, stored within my soul. As long as my soul receives the slightest impact, this Divine Soul Array Order will also collapse, ending like the hidden technique."
"Your ancestor truly dares," Wen Jiu commented, having seen the Divine Soul Array Order in more than one person’s soul memory. Coexisting with the soul, it was as fragile as a Qi Cultivation Ghost, turning to dust with the slightest impact.
Lin Hai smiled wryly, "Junior has a Spirit Soul Defense Spiritual Artifact; if it truly comes to that, it means the Qi Guang Sect is at its end. Rather than let the array order fall to the enemy, it should be buried with me."
"That seems reasonable," Wen Jiu mused, thinking deeply. The Flawless Soul-Stealing Gaze could not control a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator without injuring their soul; there would inevitably be some injury, "First, take me to see that Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven. If it’s truly as you say, the Qi Guang Sect, I will protect. But if I’m not satisfied..."
"If it doesn’t satisfy the Corpse Ancestor, Lin Hai’s death will not be regretted," Lin Hai interjected with a smile already touching his lips.
He wasn’t afraid of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s warning.
He only feared the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s refusal to go.
Wen Jiu asked again, "Where is the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven?"
"It’s in the western part, but the exact location requires me to carefully search using a Secret Technique," Lin Hai replied honestly.
"How long?"
"Ten days."
"Then stay at the Cold Pool Mist Valley for now," To avoid unforeseen incidents, Wen Jiu decided to keep him at the Mist Valley.
"Thank you, Corpse Ancestor!"
Lin Hai was overjoyed.
...
After sending Lin Hai away, Wen Jiu used the Corpse Fate Technique for divination, and the results delighted him.
The Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven was beyond the divination scope of the Corpse Fate Technique, involving Nascent Soul Level celestial secrets. Although it couldn’t prove it to be comparable to a Tier Four Yin Vein, the result was enough to show the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven was definitely extraordinary.
Next, Wen Jiu performed another divination, which showed an auspicious sign. Though somewhat dangerous, it was manageable, and as long as he knew when to advance or retreat and didn’t become greedy, a bright future lay ahead.
However, to be safe, Wen Jiu decided to perform divination every day in the coming days, especially when heading to the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven with Lin Hai, where he would conduct several readings along the way and upon entering.
Now, with the corpses of Demon Cultivators and Evil Cultivators sent by Nangong Huan, some had entirely lost their lifespan, but others still retained it. With each day, the Blood Demon Undying Bone could consume tens of thousands of years of lifespan.
Using the Cyan Wheat Three Techniques to accelerate the cultivation of more Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine or more Blood Corpse Mushrooms was feasible, and longevity was fully abundant. So even though each divination consumed a thousand years of lifespan, it was a mere drop in the ocean,
It must be said, this mask exposure caught the attention of many, and it wouldn’t be long before the Domain Lord became aware, yet the benefits were substantial.
Unfortunately, the cultivation of Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine and Blood Corpse Mushrooms couldn’t be entrusted to outsiders, and the Demonic Evil Qi couldn’t be purchased in the thousands or tens of thousands per month, otherwise, the corpse-nourishing speed would make a qualitative leap.
Meanwhile, as Wen Jiu was conducting his daily divinations, the news of Lin Hai residing in Fog Valley had reached Longteng Liyi’s ears and spread among the Golden Core Influences in the western part of the West Mountain Floating Domain.
The news was spread deliberately by Lin Hai, and Wen Jiu, upon hearing from Lu Feng and Lu Changyin, didn’t mind, for if the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven was reality, it was only a matter of time before news spread.
While the news was creating waves in the western region, Lu Feng came once again to the Cold Pond to meet East Spring Undying Bone.
"Corpse Ancestor, the matter of Lin Hai is now widely known, and while other Golden Core Influences’ discussions don’t matter much, Longteng Family has repeatedly sent people to question whether Lu Family intends to support Qi Guang Sect, and moreover..."
Lu Feng hesitated on whether to continue speaking.
"And moreover what?"
Wen Jiu inquired.
Lu Feng struggled to speak, "Today Longteng Liyi sent someone to deliver a message, stating that if we cut ties with Qi Guang Sect, the Brute Puppet Sect’s matter will be deemed as deserving by the Master of Many Evils, and Lu Family can vie for Qi Guang Sect’s territory, freely taking what we conquer. However, if we choose to stand with Qi Guang Sect, then Lu Family would have to withstand the onslaught of Longteng Family and nearly thirty other Golden Core Influences under their command.
Currently, the majority of Golden Core Influences in the western part of the West Mountain Floating Domain are already led by Longteng Family, and even the neutral ones have chosen to distance themselves from Qi Guang Sect. If we truly protect Qi Guang Sect, I’m afraid we’ll become the target of many attacks. Even a giant tiger fears a pack of wolves, especially if they use underhanded tactics."
