With the two killing gods, Kedan and Li Jingyu, around, all the ghost-faced people below the seventh level in the wilderness were trembling in fear.
Even if they met the ghost-faced man of the seventh realm by passing by, he would turn around and leave after seeing Kedan.
"Captain Feng, why is this road so quiet? The battlefield in this desolate area is not as dangerous as you say." Xu Qingying said.
Mu Yanhuan and Jiang Ruhua were both quiet. The only sound along the way was Xu Qingying's chattering.
"Normally there are many three-level ghost faces on this road. What happened today? I didn't meet any." Feng Xiang had no idea what Sang Jin and Li Jingyu were doing in front of him.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning. The weather in the depths of the wilderness was not good, and it made people feel very depressed just looking at it.
Sang Jin has a petite figure and eyes as deep as the sea, but she exudes a firm temperament.
They walked for a whole day and felt tired, so they went into the secret place to rest under the shelter of a tree.
After a good rest, they continued on their way. Besides the bad weather, they sometimes encountered torrential downpours. They finally reached the inheritance site where Li Jingyu had previously achieved a breakthrough.
He had brought Sang Jin here on purpose. This was a place where heroes had fallen. It would be great if a senior could take a liking to Xiao Jin.
Suddenly, a chill crept into Sang Jin's body. This was the power of her ice spirit root. It was incredibly pure.
"Ah——" Sang Jin cried out in pain.
"I am a wisp of the spirit of the Mysterious Woman from the Upper Realm. You are actually my reincarnation."
"King Yu? Why are you here too?" The soul looked at Li Jingyu as if it knew him.
Li Jingyu looked at her in confusion. In his memory, he had no trace of this woman at all.
"How do you know my name? Have we met before?"
"Well, I actually forgot that reincarnated people don't remember the past. How wonderful it is that you can meet again. Let me help you one last time. I don't have much time left." Xuannv's first words were addressed to Li Jingyu, and her last words were addressed to Sang Jin. After saying this, the woman who called herself Xuannv transformed into a purple light and merged into Sang Jin's body.
At this moment, Sang Jin was completely unaware of the outside world. She was in her soul sea. The sapling that had been growing in the vast expanse of her soul sea had grown stronger and now blossomed into a full-grown tree. In just a moment, the leaves of the sapling had all turned purple.
"What is this?" Sang Jin was confused. Many small lavender dots of light were floating around the small tree.
Those tiny dots of light gently approached Sang Jin, gradually converging into a human form. A woman in red, bearing the same face as Sang Jin, appeared before her.
"Why do you look like me?"
"Because I am you, and you are me." said the woman formed by those light spots.
"You are me?"
"I am Xuannu from the Upper Realm. I became a god ten thousand years ago. Later, a large number of ghost-faced people appeared in the Lower Realm. At that time, the Upper and Lower Realms were connected, and there was a passage for travel between them. Some of the people in the Upper Realm were born in the God Realm, while others ascended from the Lower Realm."
"The appearance of the Ghost-Faced Man has greatly disrupted the order of the lower realm. I followed King Luan on his expedition to the lower realm to resolve these disasters. Deep in this desolate land is the battlefield where we fought the Ghost-Faced Man. I don't know why I fell here, but this is also the place where the gods fell. That war severely damaged the vitality of the divine realm, and the gods withered away."
"Now I will pass on this [Phoenix Flame] technique to you. After refining the ninth level, you can be reborn from the ashes." The red-clothed woman who shared a face with Sang Jin explained everything to herself.
It seemed like she had made it clear, but Sang Jin still didn't understand much. She understood that the woman in red wanted to teach her the technique.
“Ah——” Feng Yan is a divine-level martial art, which can be said to be more powerful than any martial art that Sang Jin is currently practicing.
As Sang Jin absorbed the Phoenix Flame, she also absorbed some of the remaining divine power of the woman in red. She felt as if every bone in her body was breaking and then automatically remolding.
"If you can get through this, you will be reborn." The voice of the woman in red came to Sang Jin's ears.
Sang Jin gritted her teeth. If the pain she felt while building her foundation was used to describe the pain she felt now, it would probably be twice as much.
Sang Jing sat on the ground at the burial site. Her skin began to crack from her face and then burned black from head to toe. Li Jingyu stood by to protect her.
If Li Jingyu had not been by her side all the time, he would have almost failed to recognize the dark-skinned person in front of him as the familiar Xiao Jin.
A burst of purple fireworks extended from Sang Jin's head to the sky.
"What is that? What a loud noise." Mu Yanhuan looked up and saw the beam of purple light.
"That's deep in the wilderness. Could it be another invading cultivator?" Feng Xiang had just led everyone to kill a wave of ghost-faced men. He also saw the movement in the depths of the wilderness.
The noise was so loud that even the village chief Shi Qin in the deserted village felt it.
"Captain Feng, should we go in and check?" asked a team member.
Feng Xiang was a powerful cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. It wouldn't take him long to get there, only a few breaths. However, there were many seventh- and eighth-level, or even more powerful, ghost-faced individuals there. He would likely alert them, making it difficult to escape.
"Xiao Yun, you take them to continue searching and killing the ghost-faced man. If you meet someone you can't defeat, run away. Saving your life is the most important thing. I'll go in and see what's going on over there with Zi Guang. Xu Qingying and Jiang Ruhua, you two go to the deserted village and inform Village Chief Shi to go deep into the wilderness. Just say that I'm going over there to investigate any suspicious circumstances." Feng Xiang made a decision quickly.
Everyone also acted separately.
When Jiang Ruohua entered the wilderness, he was still at the foundation-building stage. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the early stage of the golden elixir.
It was all thanks to the ghost grandma's Ningfeng grass, and the heavenly-level martial arts book she got from Shengdan Village before she broke through a level.
Otherwise, she didn't know how long she would have to stay in the foundation-building stage.
Sang Jin is still receiving the inheritance from Xuannv, enduring the pain of broken bones.
On the way back to the deserted village, Xu Qingying and Jiang Ruhua met the village chief Shi Qin, and reported to him what happened in the deserted area.
Shi Qin flew as fast as he could towards where Sang Jin and the others were. Meanwhile, Feng Xiang, who had arrived earlier than him, had already reached the area around where Sang Jin had broken through. He hadn't encountered a single ghost-faced figure along the way.
The ghost-faced people they had killed before were all carefully searched out. Could it be that the ghost-faced people here originally had gone into hiding?
"Village chief." Feng Xiang called softly when he saw Shi Qin who had just arrived.
"What's going on here?"
"I just got here too. The person covered in black seems to be Sang Jin, who arrived two days ago. I recognize the strange egg next to her. I just don't know how she ended up with Li Jingyu."
