Chapter 212 Mountain

The twelve towering mountains weren't particularly high, and from the outside, they didn't look suspicious. Their peaks were covered in a dense green web, dotted with subtle hints of red and yellow, emanating a faint, faint aura of spiritual energy.

Luo Xuanyi circled the perimeter of the twelve towering mountains, sensing no restrictions. Instead, she discovered that the spiritual energy between them fluctuated, not statically, but constantly shifting. One moment, the spiritual energy within a mountain was intense, a dense spiritual rain descending, leaving leaves as green as emerald green, vibrant and full of life. The next moment, the spiritual energy shifted and drifted, until within the same mountain, it suddenly became inaudible.

No matter how the spiritual energy moved, it would never leave the area of the twelve towering mountains. Only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously absorbed by the mountains, and no spiritual energy overflowed and returned to heaven and earth.

"The monks who enter will lose their memories when they come out, and in serious cases they will even talk nonsense..." Luo Xuanyi seemed to be thinking about something.

With such rumors, she naturally couldn't take risks herself, so the idea of controlling the corpse to enter was rejected. After all, the operating mind still belonged to Luo Xuanyi, and if her mind was disturbed, the gain would be more than the loss.

She tried to test it with gentle means first. She took out a piece of gold paper and tossed it lightly. The paper quickly burned, and a monk figure emerged from the flames. His eyes were filled with confusion.

Luo Xuanyi didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense and directly ordered: "Go and explore these twelve towering mountains. After entering, write down everything on paper. Come out in one hour."

The monk, stunned, responded as he descended into the towering Cloud Mountain, the paper and pen Luo Xuanyi had handed him clutching in his hand. Just as he neared the peak, a cloud of mist suddenly drifted in, instantly engulfing his figure.

Luo Xuanyi stared at the clouds, the deathly aura dissolving into the spiritual energy in the air, and following the breath of the mountain, tried to enter the clouds. However, as soon as the deathly aura sank into the clouds, a red glow-like spiritual light flashed in the clouds, and the connection with Luo Xuanyi was immediately cut off.

She was slightly startled and immediately retracted the death energy, only to find that the death energy was carrying the living soul that had turned into gold paper again.

The golden paper slowly fell into Luo Xuanyi's palm. She carefully examined it and found no damage other than the wear and tear of its single use. In other words, while the red glow within the mist had prevented Luo Xuanyi from examining it, it hadn't harmed her or the Living Soul.

The golden paper turned into a ray of light and retracted. Looking down at the dispersing clouds, Luo Xuanyi was not frustrated. On the contrary, she felt at ease.

The ability to block Luo Xuanyi's dead energy detection indicated that the being in the mist was at least on par with Luo Xuanyi in terms of spiritual awareness. However, his living soul was weak, and Hongxia did not harm him at all.

There must be a mysterious existence among the twelve towering mountains, and this existence is not unconditionally violent towards foreign invaders. This is already a great gain.

Besides, the detection method Luo Xuanyi originally wanted to use this time was not the living soul.

As her mind moved, the gray ball immediately floated out, gently shaking out blue sparks, circling Luo Xuanyi twice before landing obediently in her palm.

The power of the confused servant to generate secondary ghost servants is what she relies on for this investigation.

Luo Xuanyi blew out a breath gently, and the death energy poured into the confused servant. The ten inner layers immediately made a clicking sound, and the worms were assembled according to Luo Xuanyi's wishes.

The exquisite carvings were ever-changing, and a burst of blue light emerged with each rotation. The gorgeous blue flames became brighter and brighter, and a flame bridge was formed straight out!

This flame bridge did not fall directly into the mountain, but spanned the sky like a rainbow after the rain, building a huge bridge between heaven and earth that seemed to lead to the sun.

The vast amount of spiritual energy in the air instantly boiled over. As Yanqiao breathed, the spiritual power rippled and spread. As the sparks exploded, the rippling waves were captured and absorbed by the mountain.

The dazzling light illuminated the rain clouds below and all the green leaves on the peaks above the clouds, but the flame bridge, which was only shining without attacking, did not reach the defenses of the twelve towering mountains.

The blue flame burned silently, then returned to the Confused Servant in an instant. Following Luo Xuanyi's instructions and precisely completing its mission, the Confused Servant spewed a cloud of white mist from the hole and leaped joyfully.

Luo Xuanyi had no time to pay attention. She stared at the mountain, her mind vaguely sensing many fluctuations, subtle and fleeting.

The secret of the Bewitched Servant's ability to spawn secondary Ghost Servant lies in the soul fragments hidden within the flames. These fragments are no longer living souls, invisible and formless, silently absorbed by the mountain along with the spiritual energy swallowed by the flames.

Spiritual herbs absorb the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If they absorb these contaminated soul fragments, even if the amount is extremely small, Luo Xuanyi can use the spiritual herbs to slightly sense the inside of Songyun Mountain.

She closed her eyes, carefully trying to grasp the flickering, vague connections in her mind. These soul fragments were like shattered stars, flickering in her mind's eye, then extinguishing one by one.

A large number of soul fragments that flowed in began to disconnect from Luo Xuanyi. Luo Xuanyi did not give up. She patiently screened the fragments with stronger perception. Suddenly, a picture flashed through Luo Xuanyi's mind.

Luo Xuanyi suddenly opened her eyes, and all the links were disconnected.

It was a blurry figure, shaped like a giant deer, covered in silky white. It hurriedly stepped past a spiritual herb, leaving a little white like catkins floating on the spiritual herb.

Even with just a quick glimpse, one can feel its mystery, Taoist essence, and strength.

Luo Xuanyi rarely felt a surge of excitement, as if the cold death energy in her body began to boil. The murderous intent she had suppressed in the Red Ghost Realm took a long time to suppress.

In the twelve towering mountains, there lives a creature that is almost a half-celestial beast!
