Chapter 245 Departure, Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins!
Taki Yiran, she's so damn generous!
A short while later.
Seeing that Wang Yu was still engrossed in the contents of the Earth Mother Scripture, Taki could not help but speak up to remind him.
"Brother Wang, let's study it slowly when we have time. The Earth Mother Scripture is not something that can be mastered in a short time. Some cultivators spend their whole lives studying it and still can't fully understand it."
"Indeed, but how well has Takijinshi grasped the methods within?"
"Some progress has been made."
She has a solid foundation, and with the addition of her own knowledge, she has been able to improve the limits of her various abilities through more than a year of meditation and contemplation.
Next, the two began to divide the elixir.
The most important ones are those third-tier spiritual items, one or two of which are helpful for Long Yiran to form her Golden Core. It seems that her inheritance contains a matching formula for forming the Golden Core.
Allocation will be made according to need through friendly consultation.
Each person received exactly six plants. Most of the third-tier poisonous plants that Wang Yu obtained could be used in medicine. One of them happened to be one of the materials for the [Exquisite Inner Core], named !
As you can tell from its name, it is a treasure of the same type as the Golden Qi Root, but its main function is to defile, which is even more vicious than the poison of divine consciousness.
If an ordinary cultivator were to inadvertently consume it, it would cause blockages in their meridians, impurity in their physical body, and weakness in their soul and spirit, greatly damaging their potential and aptitude.
This thing is one of the three main ingredients for the Linglong Inner Elixir, but even he can't figure it out and can't understand the pharmacology behind this elixir formula.
besides.
The other five plants are ordinary goods, but because they are poisonous, they can fetch a higher price if they are sold to the right buyers, such as Tianbaoge or Jinmanlou.
A single plant costs at most two hundred thousand spirit stones, which isn't very cost-effective.
After clearing out the underground herb garden, Wang Yu told Long Yiran about the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect ruins, mainly about the clues he had gathered.
The inverted "mountain" shaped landmark element still evoked strong emotions in Taki, she said.
"Brother Wang, what you're describing is indeed a kind of formation, derived from the earthly formations, and transformed into a human formation by a master geomancer [the Nether Tiger Prison Formation]!"
Wang Yu frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
She explained, "In feng shui, mountains often represent suppression and sealing. An inverted mountain means that while suppressing, it also locks everything within the formation."
"Like a wedge at one end of an iron chain, it nails him to the earth, like a prison from which he cannot escape."
Wang Yu immediately understood: "What about the Nether Tiger?"
"The tiger is the mountain king, and the fallen mountain is the underworld tiger. The ancient Heavenly Soul Sect inherited the soul path. This game should be set up to lock down the various evil spirits and malevolent spirits that have been captured."
The Soul Path, though said to cultivate the soul, is in reality the power of divine consciousness.
The soul and consciousness are inseparable, yet distinct. The latter is like the former's hands and feet; through training, one can increase strength and become more robust.
It is a relationship where one prospers and the other prospers; if one suffers, the other suffers. Therefore, strengthening either one will drive the other to grow in tandem.
In ancient times, the demonic path flourished. Since the Heavenly Soul Sect was located in Chiyuan, it was a member of the demonic sect. Absorbing the power of Yin Souls and evil spirits to strengthen itself was a common practice in demonic arts.
However, such behavior can easily pollute one's own soul, making it difficult to form an infant spirit in the future.
Wang Yu, however, could understand the mystery behind it.
The Ancient Soul Technique is the solution to the problem. Once you cultivate the Ancient Soul, you can block out all impurities, chaotic wills, and memories.
The person who created this technique was truly a genius.
After getting the answer, Wang Yu asked the key question.
How do I find it?
"Brother Wang, don't worry. Since there's such an obvious setup, we just need to find the Yin Meridian. Let's get out of here first, and you'll understand in a moment."
"Alright."
After using the Purple Dragon Earthwalking Technique, Wang Yu could move almost freely underground without any obstruction, easily traversing to the surface.
Long Yiran's methods were perfectly befitting of her identity as a formation master. Holding a small triangular flag, she gently waved it, and the soil and pebbles all parted to make way.
After she passed through, things returned to normal.
There was no indication that anyone had passed through it, not even a trace of true essence remained; this was something the Earth Travel Technique couldn't do.
"sharp."
Wang Yu's astonishment drew an explanation from the Dragon Formation Master.
"This is the Earth Mother's Breath of Soil Flag, which will become my natal magic weapon in the future. Unfortunately, my cultivation is insufficient and I lack a rare spiritual material, so it is not complete for the time being."
Wang Yu truly admired the other person's straightforward and honest personality; like a shining piece of gold, everyone liked him.
I admire him even more when he can't do it.
They successfully returned to the surface.
As expected, the two were no longer at the "White Snake Hollow," but instead arrived in a dense forest.
Only when they reached the highest point nearby and flew to the top of the tree to observe the terrain did they confirm that they had probably deviated from the depression by about 300 miles and moved quite a distance to the north.
A golden halo appeared in Long Yiran's eyes, which was the actual manifestation of the secret technique of "Golden Eyes of Qi Observation". This secret technique can penetrate the earth and directly observe the flow of earth energy.
In the art of Feng Shui, the earth's energy is a crucial element.
Places rich in earth energy often represent the existence of earth veins. By tracing the direction of their flow and pinpointing their source, one can often discover the natural order.
Similarly, spiritual veins, five-element veins, dragon veins, and so on, which are derived from the mutation of earth veins, can all be located using the Golden Eye of Qi Observation. This secret technique is also top-tier in the lineage of geomancers.
The only drawback is that it can't see very far.
"The Nether Tiger Prison Formation is a man-made, reversed Yin formation, which is very likely to be filled with various Yin veins and naturally attract ghosts."
"There is a place called [Yin Gui Mountain] in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest. Why don't we go there and look for it first?"
"Can."
Wang Yu nodded naturally.
He searched like a headless fly, and even the White Snake Valley he suspected wasn't the real culprit.
The poisonous spiritual energy surrounding the wind belt could have been set up by the Snake Mansion's master, or it could have been a coincidence. Following the professionals would greatly increase the chances of finding it.
But he also had some doubts.
"Yin Gui Mountain is considered a relatively well-known exploration location within the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, yet no powerful Earth Array Masters have ever visited it?"
Upon hearing this, Taki still smiled smugly.
"The Earth Mother Scripture is not a simple feng shui technique. What I can discover, other feng shui masters may not be able to discover. The top-level Qi observation secret method alone is not something that ordinary people can possess."
"Moreover, the 'Dragon-Binding and Vein-Stabilizing Chapter' is the essence of the Earth Mother Scripture, Brother Wang—"
"Um?"
Long Yiran, who had been smiling just moments before, suddenly became serious. She said, "The first three chapters of the Earth Mother Sutra are still within the bounds of common sense, but the secret method in this fourth section should not be used unless absolutely necessary."
Why?
"It is too harmful to heaven and earth, and will easily incur divine retribution."
The term "divine retribution" originated from ancient cultivators who could not bear to see demonic cultivators slaughtering living beings. In fact, it has been proven that neither slaughtering one's own kind nor killing demonic beasts would incur any divine retribution.
Only by causing fundamental damage to heaven and earth will one truly incur divine retribution.
At that time, the lightning tribulation will transform into a heavenly blood lightning, dozens of times more powerful than others. Touching it will result in certain death, and there are currently no known survivors.
If the time for tribulation has not yet come and one is still alive and well, as time goes by, divine retribution will continue to accumulate power, and when it reaches a certain point, a natural disaster will occur.
Earthquakes, landslides... even meteorites falling from the sky, and you might get struck by lightning if you go out.
If they still don't die, the divine retribution will accumulate to a critical point.
People will be extremely unlucky, with all sorts of natural and man-made disasters coming one after another, and they might even choke to death while drinking water.
Wang Yu knew such details because he had seen these kinds of books in the [Shujing Hall], but at the time he just treated them as entertainment and jokes and didn't take them too seriously.
After all, you need to have the ability to incur divine retribution.
I never expected that I would have such a suicidal weapon that brings disaster when I was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Damaging the very foundation of heaven and earth is no simple matter.
On a grander scale, even if it were to slaughter all living beings in both regions and sink the land, such physical destruction would have no impact whatsoever.
On a smaller scale, destroying the dragon veins nurtured by the earth will bring divine retribution.
Intelligent people can't help but ask, if the mainland is sunk, isn't the dragon vein also destroyed?
Actually, no.
Regardless of whether it's earth veins, dragon veins, five element veins, or yin veins... these are essentially all forms of primordial energy. Although they have physical forms, they have no substance, making them extremely difficult for cultivators to destroy.
At most, they can only be restrained by secret methods and their locations forcibly relocated. Among the many "veins", only the destruction of the dragon vein will incur divine retribution; the others are of no concern.
This demonstrates the uniqueness of this "pulse".
A fully developed dragon vein is a treasure of the world, and it may not even exist in this realm. However, there are quite a few weak dragon veins. The Refining Heaven Demon Sect and the Heavenly Void Sword Sect have both captured dragon veins to strengthen their sect's fortune.
According to the Earth Mother Scripture, the largest dragon vein in this world is a fifth-order dragon vein, far from being a complete one, and it is located within the [Sea Dragon Abyss] of the Chaotic Ancient Sea, making it difficult for cultivators to enter.
The various strange and interesting stories greatly broadened his horizons.
As the two made their way to Yin Gui Mountain, they talked and occasionally Wang Yu would ask about the local customs and culture of the Taihu Spirit Realm. Before he was sixteen, he had lived a completely ordinary life.
They were also limited to the area of Shihu City and didn't know much about Taihu Lake, let alone the cultivation community around Taihu Lake.
Knowing that she had revealed her secret, Long Yiran no longer hid anything and answered whatever Wang Yu asked.
Although there were some petty and despicable things happening there, it was generally very prosperous, and Long Yiran could name more than a dozen famous cultivators just by opening his mouth.
As for Wang Yu, aside from the name of a Nascent Soul cultivator, I really don't know anything about him as a genius. His mortality rate must be a bit high, and Chi Yuan only spreads the fame of the strong.
Those who die will be forgotten in a few years, as if they never existed—a reality that is both realistic and cruel.
"I still feel that Brother Wang doesn't seem to be a member of the Red Kite. Why doesn't he go to Taihu Lake to cultivate? Apart from the strict rules and scarce resources there, it is much safer than the Red Kite."
Wang Yu fell silent upon hearing this.
He tried, and then he was hunted down and brought back.
Back then, it was said that Chi Yuan was more suitable for development, but after he attacked and killed the slave-hunting team, he may have had the idea of staying in Taihu Lake.
After all, the placement slots are more useful than any arcane spell, which is the basis of his confidence in making this choice.
"There's no point in saying all this now. If Takizaki doesn't want to die in Chiyuan, he should go back as soon as the matter of the Heavenly Soul Sect is over."
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately fell silent.
She knew Wang Yu meant well, but Taihu Lake had too few resources for independent cultivators. She was already over two hundred years old and needed to break through to the Core Formation stage.
Ahead, we've arrived at Yin Gui Mountain.
