Chapter 203 A Triumphant Return (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader!)
In a moment of horror, the corpse demon found its body uncontrollably spread out in a starfish shape, with crows cawing and the wind rising... a dark cloud of crows completely enveloped it.
The chilling sound of a raven devouring souls!
This spell is just one step away from becoming a supernatural power. If a suitable dual-attribute Yin Soul supernatural power is lacking in the future, it would be good to use the placement slot to deduce and upgrade it.
Unfortunately, a spell, technique, or placement slot can only be upgraded once. If it could be continuously upgraded, that would be too overpowered, especially considering that its effect is based on Wang Yu himself.
The stronger his comprehension, the faster he can progress with the material he's assigned.
Let's look at it from a different perspective.
Those secret techniques and supernatural abilities that take twenty or thirty years, or even three hundred years, require him to practice tirelessly for many years, completely abandoning all other activities, in order to perfect them.
Among these challenges are emotional and intellectual difficulties such as fatigue, mental blocks, and boredom, as well as the practical problem of insufficient vital energy that needs to be restored.
Even if you practiced in the real world, giving him twice the amount of time to rest, he might not be able to achieve perfect cultivation.
"The path to enlightenment is arduous, but we must forge ahead."
Emerging from the darkness, Wang Yu unleashed the Soul-Shattering Finger, shattering the Corpse Demon's nascent soul. This time, the Corpse Demon's cultivation level was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage.
It's far inferior to the corpse demon I encountered last time, but it's still good to have some gains. Even if he doesn't refine these two top-quality materials himself, they are still first-class trading commodities.
It would be a huge waste to use it to exchange for spirit stones!
After throwing the living corpse demon into the Taiyin Nourishing Coffin, Wang Yu gazed into the darkness deep within the ruins, thinking of the Craftsmen's Institute and the Imperial City.
After lingering for a moment.
He headed towards the surface, having already gained enough. He decided to wait until he was strong enough before exploring deeper secrets.
The next day.
Outside the ruins of Dongjijing, Wang Yu, who had just emerged from underground, stretched, patted his waist, released a small flying boat, and headed towards Guiling in a cheerful mood.
In the shadows, several cultivators skilled in concealment quickly transmitted their voices: "Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the opponent just came out of the ruins, and judging from the direction, they are heading towards Guiling City."
"Target is right, let's go, keep up."
On the flying boat.
Wang Yu glanced at it sideways and felt a long-lost sense of familiarity. This was the real Chi Yuan. People who cultivate the path of calamity have died one after another, but they will never become extinct.
Especially near these publicly accessible ruins, there are always people watching.
Wang Yu was not afraid.
However, they should also reflect on themselves. When they came, they knew to use invisibility and silence spells, and they should have done the same when they left. It has nothing to do with how strong the enemy is; it's a matter of attitude!
Ultimately, they had been living in comfort for too long, and their power had grown stronger.
Then I lost my cautious and meticulous mind.
—Reflect! Reflect deeply!
The journey back to Guiling City is not far, only seven days. If you are willing to spend spirit stones, you can fly even faster. There is a swamp along the way that is perfect for an ambush.
Wang Yu simply watched these people make arrangements, and two days later, he passed through a swamp.
"die!"
Two mud dragons, each over ten meters long, leaped out of the swamp and attacked Wang Yu fiercely. He reached out and flicked his wrist, and the Ghost Cry Flute appeared in his hand.
The heart-wrenching blade!
The transparent, grayish-sounding blade, like a thread that cuts through everything, distorts the air and creates ripples as it advances at breakneck speed, cleaving the magical mud dragon in two.
The cultivator who was about to use his magic felt overwhelmed by grief; he wanted to cry so badly! He instinctively tried to summon his magical artifact, but his hands trembled, and tears streamed down his face.
Immediately afterwards.
"Pfft—"
The body, split in two vertically, fell to the ground.
In just one exchange, the Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivator died, and then... the other two who had just set up the isolation array flags looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Damn it, this is a tough situation, run!"
"run?"
Wang Yu shook his head, and the Frost Moon Wings appeared on his back. This second-tier high-grade perfect escape technique greatly made up for his lack of speed, and was enough to handle 99% of the battles.
A flash of cold light, and Wang Yu appeared behind someone.
He simply threw a straight punch forward, his dragon spine generating power, and the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon, formed from his blood and qi, surged forward with the punch, and he could even feel the air being compressed.
The cultivator who was suddenly attacked was a Foundation Establishment Level 6 cultivator. With his rich combat experience, he should have been able to react immediately.
As a result, they were completely stunned, as if they were seeing some kind of terrifying hallucination.
"Boom—"
The protective true energy was completely unable to withstand Wang Yu's ferocious attack. Without taking any defensive measures, the cultivator was like tofu, smashed into pieces by Wang Yu's punch.
"The Lesser Asura Killing Fist, accompanied by 'Asura Killing Intent' in its attack, can intimidate enemies with weak wills and unclear minds, as if they were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood..."
Even if one can break free from the illusion of killing intent, one will still be suppressed by this power, feeling cold all over, with one's true essence obscured and difficult to mobilize, as if a knife is held to one's neck.
"I was constantly on edge, so it was difficult to fully utilize my abilities."
After testing the supernatural power on this person, Wang Yu gained a better understanding of its characteristics, but in order to unleash its power, he had to break through to the Core Formation stage.
This is not the whole story of this deadly fist technique.
The last cultivator who fled 300 meters away was soaked to the bone, completely terrified.
"He's clearly also in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so there shouldn't be any problems in a three-on-one fight... How can there be such a strong guy?"
"Wait a minute, is he fishing? Pretending to be weak to catch a wolf in sheep's clothing?!"
Before his poor little brain could even think of any more possibilities, a spinning ice wheel, seemingly from outer space, traversed hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and slid across his neck.
"this--"
The third cultivator's head rolled off his neck, and his body fell straight to the ground, completely unable to resist from beginning to end.
Second-tier superior spell: Ice Wheel Technique.
Following the Profound Yin Hand, this is Wang Yu's second offensive trump card. It is currently at the Great Completion stage, still a long way from perfection.
However, as a technique of the same attribute, it unleashed even greater power in Wang Yu's hands, since his main cultivation technique, "Heavenly Cold Yin Blood Technique," is primarily ice-based, with yin attribute as a secondary attribute.
Speaking of this technique, it was perfected a few years ago.
Aside from lacking the special effect of improving aptitude, its cultivation speed is basically the same as that of the "Cold Blood Ascension Technique".
The only unique feature.
After reaching perfection, a cultivation technique similar to the realm of the divine was born, named—[Heavenly Frost Blood]!
In addition to causing Wang Yu's body temperature to drop further.
It could also significantly enhance the power of Wang Yu's ice-attribute spells, and slightly improve his yin-attribute spells, reaching the top rank below the third level, which would not be impossible.
The highest grade has always been a rather special rank.
It holds a special position among elixirs, its price has skyrocketed more than tenfold, and there are almost no channels to purchase it. Even alchemy masters cannot guarantee that they can refine a top-grade elixir of the same level.
Among magical artifacts, only those that have failed to be crafted into magical treasures can be called second-tier top-grade magical artifacts, and they must be infused with third-tier materials to achieve this.
In magic, it means the strongest among those of the same level!
Powerful cultivation techniques can grant practitioners greater strength because of various miraculous abilities, much like the transformation brought about by breaking through a realm. It's impossible for them not to become stronger.
After recovering the corpse, Wang Yu first took the storage bag, then the Soul-Nourishing Evil Armor, then squeezed out the blood and poured it into the Taiyin Nourishing Evil Coffin, leaving behind a dried-up corpse with greatly reduced value.
However, they can also be refined into second-tier zombies. Three of them together can be sold for around ten thousand spirit stones.
He continued piloting the flying boat back to Guiling City, this time using both invisibility and breathlessness spells. With his perfected magical skills, he even made the flying boat invisible.
Apart from a slight, oddly oriented breeze, there was nothing unusual.
"Cultivation techniques, secret methods, spirit stones... Hmm? This is not bad."
While Wang Yu was taking stock of his spoils, he picked out a flawless second-tier mid-grade magic weapon. Only after refining it did he learn its name.
"The defensive magic weapon [Diamond Shield] is no less effective than a high-grade one in terms of defense against physical impacts, making it perfect for someone at my level."
As for the others, they are not worth mentioning.
Five days later.
After being away for half a month, Wang Yu returned to the Guiling City Lord's Mansion without alerting anyone. This successful return was a perfect success!
He didn't rush out. After he reassembled the killing intent training room that he had dismantled in the Demon Suppression Prison, he created another room under the original secret chamber.
Only enter the realm of experience when practicing the Lesser Asura Killing Fist, so as not to damage these fragile stone slabs during daily practice.
Less than two days later, Guan Yingdong came to report.
"Master, Lord Ye has arrived. He says he has brought you something."
Only then did Wang Yu leisurely emerge from the pass.
The materials for a thousand Soul Essence Pills have arrived! This is also the key project for his next cultivation. The Ancient Soul Technique is still a few years away from perfection. He will cultivate it to the point of achieving the [Ancient Soul] Divine Realm.
He could then use the power of the pills to break through to the early stage of the third rank of spiritual consciousness. After reaching the limit of the technique, although it would not be able to help him break through to the middle stage of the third rank.
However, he can still accumulate and increase the upper limit of his divine sense power until the initial limit is reached. He is experienced in this aspect, as he had done so in the body refinement path before.
Furthermore, divine sense represents the strength of a cultivator's soul, and it cannot exceed their cultivation level by too much, otherwise there is a risk of abandoning the physical body and transforming into a soul body.
Solving this problem will free up another slot.
He planned to use this storage space to upgrade all his miscellaneous techniques to perfection before finally installing the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique, so he wouldn't have to keep switching between them.
If his divine sense can break through, it could also help him enhance the magic seals for controlling the Taiyin Corpse, and even control more zombies.
"Boom!"
As the stone door to the secret chamber opened, Wang Yu followed Guan Yingdong to the reception room.
A moment later.
"Lord Ye, how have you been?"
"Uh... I'm afraid the city lord has forgotten that we just met a dozen days ago."
“Cultivation knows no time, but for me, it does feel like a while has passed.”
Ye Qing reluctantly agreed.
The Guiling branch building almost became Wang Yu's subordinates, dedicated to collecting various spiritual resources for him.
Even if they don't have any, they have to be transferred from other branches or even the main building. It was Miss's order. Ye Qing felt a little lost for a moment.
Even the most accomplished disciples don't receive this kind of treatment.
Could it be...?
Ye Qing opened his eyes wide and gave up his wild thoughts, then said with a serious expression, "This was sent by Miss, who asked me to give it to the city lord."
The item has arrived.
Wang Yu said, "Contact Fellow Daoist Jin and tell her I have a way to help her. Have her prepare the treasures so I can choose from them."
Ye Qing: "...???"
