Chapter 181 Devouring Spirits, A Way Out!?
Click click click!
Lunar Eclipse bit the spirit bone in its hand into pieces, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.
The wisps of mystical magical power within his body merged into his limbs and bones.
This also slightly enhanced the magical power of the Moon Eclipse.
"It's been a long time since I've had such authentic Xuanmen (Taoist) cuisine."
"I just didn't expect this old guy to have such a trump card."
"A remnant soul escaped."
"Is this a substitution technique to avert disaster?"
Lunar Eclipse recalled the moment she entered the Three Immortals Mountain. Although she was prepared, she used magic to seal it away.
But unexpectedly, the remnant soul of the other party still managed to escape.
The other party abandoned his physical body and gave her all the remains of his Xuanmen magical power.
In this way, even the Soul Devouring Technique would be unable to find the other party's whereabouts, which would ultimately be a disaster.
However, now that Lunar Eclipse knows the extent of the difficulties faced by people from the Upper Realm when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, her worries have lessened considerably.
Ultimately, they can only reach the Nascent Soul stage. They are all at the same level. Although Lunar Eclipse does not have the physical body of the Dragon Devouring Gu, after she possesses this Gu clan body, she can still devour other Nascent Soul stage Gu worms.
As a top race among the Gu clans, the Devouring Dragon Gu possesses the ability to acquire the abilities of other Gu clans among their innate supernatural powers.
When Lunar Eclipse was in the Spirit Realm, it devoured many Xuanmen cultivators from the thirty-six caves of Qianyuan Mountain. After devouring them, Lunar Eclipse also gained some of their memories, even though they were all incomplete.
But after eating a lot, their memories sometimes become connected.
Therefore, he did have a slight impression of this technique of transforming calamity into a substitute.
"What a pity."
"The old guy hid the storage bags and stuff."
A hint of regret appeared in Lunar Eclipse's eyes.
"Chase the spirit!"
then.
Lunar Eclipse raised a pair of slender, long claws, made a hand seal, and a wisp of elusive spiritual energy flew out from its body. After circling Lunar Eclipse a few times, it split into several threads, pointing in several directions in the air.
"Got it."
"As expected, there are other Xuanmen cultivators in the lower realm."
The moon eclipse caught my eye.
The spirit-tracking technique she used was specifically designed to track Xuanmen cultivators. It was developed by a powerful Gu clan cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, and was improved from a great supernatural technique, making it extremely effective.
It was precisely this technique that gave them a dominant position in their struggle against the Xuanmen cultivators in Qianyuan Mountain.
"Let's go to the places where these four auras are located first."
Lunar Eclipse looked in one direction and saw four strands of spirit-tracking threads clustered together. Moved by this, it instantly transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light and vanished into the ground.
...
...
Inside the secret territory of Muto Mountain.
Lin Li, who had concealed his figure, began to use the Devouring Spirit Technique to absorb the restrictive power above the boundary of this secret realm.
boom!
The mixed spatial spiritual energy entered the body and was immediately gathered into Lin Li's dantian.
It lasted for a full half hour.
Lin Li stopped when he felt the spatial spiritual energy in his dantian was about to burst.
"How could this be? Such a mild reaction!?"
At this moment, Lin Li was releasing divine sense comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. After consuming so much spatial spiritual power, he originally thought that the border of the Wood Vine Mountain Secret Realm would have a significant reaction.
But now it seems the reaction isn't very strong.
The process of the spatial barrier collapsing is extremely slow.
Lin Li could only sit cross-legged on a patch of grass and begin to fully refine the spatial spiritual power within his body, but the refining process was extremely slow.
Based on this trend, it is estimated that it will take about a month to refine this spatial spiritual energy.
But if you wait a month, it will be too late.
"no."
"Waiting for the Wooden Vine Mountain Secret Realm to collapse so we can collect the space-type spirit stones is simply not feasible."
We need to find other ways.
The Secret Realm of Mount Penglai.
At this moment, Lin Li seemed to have thought of something and immediately left the Wood Vine Mountain Secret Realm.
Previously, it was thought that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators could track them, but now that an extremely powerful Dragon Devouring Gu has appeared, no matter how they try to hide it, it is impossible to conceal it from the other party.
Even the most skilled cultivators in the spirit realm cannot escape the Dragon Devouring Gu's methods.
Moreover, he was just a young cultivator in the Core Formation stage.
The teleportation array in Lin Li's hand was obtained from the Penglai Mountain Secret Realm, which is located in Shazhou. However, there are some other small entrances, and it is necessary to search through all the small entrances of the Penglai Mountain Secret Realm.
Perhaps we can seize a sliver of hope.
In the blink of an eye.
After Lin Li left the Wood Vine Mountain Secret Realm, he headed straight for Little Jade Dragon Peak, took Bai Ling'er away, and then headed towards Shazhou. He took out all the spirit talismans he needed for the journey from his storage bag.
With the activation of his innate supernatural ability, Spirit Escape, his escape speed far surpasses that of a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation stage, and is even comparable to that of a cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage.
along the way.
The Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators they encountered, after sensing the astonishing escape light that flew through the sky—a light comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage—would all choose to stay far away.
Who could know whether the person hidden within that escaping light was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who liked to conceal their presence?
After all, it is possible for a Core Formation cultivator to reach the escape techniques of a Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time, but the price to pay is extremely high. Generally speaking, Core Formation cultivators would never use escape techniques that would come at a great cost when traveling by air.
...
One day later.
North of the Nanyue Kingdom.
It is located near the border of the Eastern Sea Kingdom.
The lunar eclipse had a long, centipede-like body, with the centipede coiled together. In front of it were four remnant souls of varying sizes, and within each remnant soul were several pure essences that had been refined.
"They all self-destructed."
"I never expected them to be so resolute."
"Only a few remnant souls remain."
"This remnant soul has also had its memories cleansed."
"Is it to prevent me from regaining my memories?"
"I never expected that these Xuanmen cultivators would still be so crazy even in the lower realms!"
Lunar Eclipse's memories seemed to recall the time in the Spirit Realm when they, the Devouring Dragon Gu, led more than ten races of the Gu Clan to attack the Xuanmen cultivators of the thirty-six caves of Qianyuan Mountain.
None of the members of the Dragon Devouring Gu clan could have imagined that the Xuanmen cultivator in the Void Refinement stage would have such a trick up his sleeve—he actually possessed an extremely rare spatial magic weapon, which he used to self-destruct at the very moment.
That magical artifact actually tore through the spatial barrier of the spirit realm, leading to the lower realm.
Even knowing that entering the spatial rift was a near-certain death, so many Xuanmen cultivators still resolutely chose to enter it.
She was in a relatively close position during the lunar eclipse, which is why she was affected.
Beneath the spatial hurricane.
After his physical body was destroyed, only his remnant soul fell into the lower realm. With a flick of his finger, he instantly traveled to the exciting world of Chapter 181, Devouring Spirits, A Way to Survive!? (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)
Only after so much time had passed did a new nascent soul body finally emerge.
"There are two more."
"We need to be careful with those two!"
"Wouldn't it be such a waste if they all self-destructed?"
A look of seriousness appeared in Eclipse's eyes, after all, she could only find two traces of Xuanmen cultivators.
These Xuanmen cultivators were not very skilled.
If they were related to cultivators from the upper realms, they wouldn't be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, so they wouldn't pose much of a threat to the lunar eclipse.
The only threat comes from the native cultivators born in this lower realm. When these natives cultivate the Xuanmen techniques and break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is unlikely to change much.
After all, the native cultivators in this lower realm would certainly not be tainted by the aura of the spirit world.
Lunar Eclipse harbored the thought of raising that Xuanmen cultivator to a higher level.
After all, small children don't have much appeal when eating.
It was gone before it even tasted the flavor. If we raise it to the Nascent Soul stage, it will have a much stronger appetite!
Lunar Eclipse gazed at the four pure, remnant souls before her.
Then he thought of the remnant soul of the Xuanmen cultivator who had escaped. It was a pity that the remnant soul was still a thorn in his throat.
It will be difficult to catch it again.
Even if the other party has been reborn through possession, they certainly will not cultivate Xuanmen techniques.
Once they've hidden themselves in the vast ocean of cultivators in the lower realms, they'll be hard to find.
The only thing to do is to be more careful in the future. If the other party does not practice Xuanmen techniques, then the deterrent effect on them will be greatly reduced.
With a thought, Lunar Eclipse raised its hand and swallowed the four pure fragments of remnant souls into its belly.
Then, it flew off towards the location of the other two silk threads.
...
...
Half a day later.
At dusk.
Yellow sand flew everywhere.
Above a boundless sea of sand, there is a large area shrouded in a cloud of dark gray mist.
In the blink of an eye.
A streak of multicolored light, like a shooting star, pierced through the red clouds in the distance and flew straight into the cloud of evil mist in front of them.
This caused a sudden, undulating wave to rise above the calm mist.
Lin Li then used his Spirit Escape talent technique without any restraint. With his Nascent Soul stage escape technique, he traveled from Xizhou to Shazhou in less than two days.
Even so, Lin Li still felt that his escape speed was a bit slow.
The Dragon-Swallowing Gu that attacked the Xuanmen cultivators behind the scenes is probably already on its way. If no useful space-type spirit stones are found in these newly appeared Penglai Mountain secret realm nodes.
The outcome is obvious; they'll definitely be eaten by that Dragon-Swallowing Gu.
Moreover, at the entrance this time, there were three demonic puppets in the early stage of Core Formation.
The three demonic puppets were all wolf demons, with wolf heads and human bodies, wearing bronze armor, and their scarlet eyes cautiously scanning their surroundings.
At the deepest part of this secret realm node lies an ancient, sealed stone door.
"Senior brother."
"I'll stay outside."
Bai Ling'er, who was standing on one side of the forest, took the initiative to make the suggestion.
Bai Ling'er knew in her heart that she had only just embarked on the path of cultivation and was merely a burden to her senior brother. Even though her physical body was comparable to that of a demon cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation, she was no match for the Nascent Soul stage Dragon Devouring Gu that could attack their master.
Neither she nor her senior brother could possibly be a match for her.
Bai Ling'er finally understood that it would be good if she could buy her senior brother a little more time.
"Nonsense!"
After saying that, Lin Li rolled up Bai Ling'er, who was standing to one side.
"Old Gray".
Lin Li patted the high-grade spirit pet pouch hanging from his waist.
A wisp of gray smoke flew out from it, and the old toad monster, Old Gray, dressed in a gray robe, looked around and then looked at the ancient stone gate not far in front of him. The stone gate had a restriction power comparable to the upper level of the third rank.
Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can easily open it.
If it were a Core Formation stage cultivator, it would probably take a lot of effort. If Lin Li hadn't consumed that mixed spatial spiritual energy in the Wood Vine Mountain Secret Realm before, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to use his Devouring Spirit Power to consume the restrictive power on this stone gate.
Now, we can only let Old Gray take action.
Old Gray knew perfectly well what he was going to do. He flew towards the stone gate with the restriction, suddenly raised his hands, and those hands began to grow rapidly, turning into two toad arms that were more than ten feet long in the blink of an eye.
It slammed hard against the stone gate.
Click!
In the blink of an eye, fine cracks appeared on the seemingly solid stone door, spreading out and quickly covering the entire stone door.
boom!
After Old Gray smashed the stone gate dozens of times in one go, the barrier suddenly shattered. As for the demon puppets around, the residual power of the Nascent Soul cultivator was enough to intimidate them.
Lin Li flew straight into it.
"Teleportation array!"
Once Lin Li entered, he found himself in an underground cavern surrounded by pools of water, each over ten feet in diameter. The water-based spiritual energy within the cavern was at an extremely high concentration.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the water system of this cave is at least comparable to that of a fourth-grade low-level spiritual vein in the outside world.
The teleportation array deep within the Penglai Mountain secret realm exhibits faint fluctuations in spatial power.
Lin Li scanned the area with his Nascent Soul stage divine sense and could only sense a slight fluctuation.
"It can be used, but the spiritual energy in the space stone on the teleportation array may be less than one-tenth."
"pity."
"Even if this teleportation array is activated, it will not be able to reach the destination; it may just teleport you to some random place."
"But there's always a way out."
"No, there's another way..."
Lin Li's figure appeared on the teleportation array almost in the blink of an eye. The mixed spatial power in his dantian began to stir, as if attracted by the teleportation array beneath his feet.
This teleportation array only needs to be used once.
Having finally cultivated to the Core Formation stage in this lifetime, and not even having tried to form a Nascent Soul, I'm about to be captured by that so-called Dragon Devouring Gu. Isn't that ridiculous!
Since the spatial spiritual energy of this teleportation array is weak, he will use the spatial power within his dantian to fill it.
Regardless, it will definitely extend the teleportation distance of this teleportation array once again.
But right now.
A terrifying divine power of the Nascent Soul stage appeared from all directions, like invisible hands grabbing him and freezing Lin Li's figure in place, unable to move an inch.
"The bloodline of the Candle-Eyed Spirit Demon."
"Nascent Soul aptitude".
"No wonder that old fellow took you in as a disciple and taught you esoteric martial arts!"
"What a clever little imp!"
"We were able to find a teleportation array that was almost extinct in this world."
"It must have been hard on you..."
