Chapter 343 Bloodstained Stone Tablet: Jiang Yan's Personal Instructions
They once perished here.
The power of the corpse dissipated, eventually forming the Nascent Soul Venerable of the Blood Demon Sea, whose name was [Yin Shi Venerable]!
This place is also called the Yinshi Palace, which is naturally closely related to it.
From this, it can be concluded that the danger here is far beyond what a Core Formation cultivator can withstand, but the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect has been in charge of the Blood Abyss Holy Land for a long time.
Since the Nascent Soul Ancestor began exploring this place, he has gradually taken all the benefits and accumulated more and more relevant information.
The danger naturally decreased, and now the Blood Infant Fruit, which only appears once every two hundred years, is considered a fourth-tier opportunity, so it was reserved for sect cultivators.
Let them compete for this Nascent Soul opportunity themselves.
certainly.
The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect has so many Nascent Soul ancestors, and there are more than one treasure land and secret place that stably produces Nascent Soul opportunities.
Some are unique to the Holy Sect, some are in competition with other sects, and some are privately owned by families.
For example, the Zhuo clan of Guifang has a secret place called the Demon Cave, which can reliably produce an evil object called the [Ghost Curse Demon Stone].
It has a great assisting effect on the formation of the Nascent Soul by demonic cultivators.
For example, the Yu clan of Sacred Mountain, whose ancestral land "Sacred Mountain" is itself a blessed land, and the [Sacred Mountain Stone Liquid] that can be condensed every once in a while can also help break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
According to their grade, they all belong to the category of high-grade infant spirits.
In addition, the more Wang Yu learned about the Zuoqiu Clan of Xianyin, the more he realized how formidable they were. When Wang Yu first learned about them, the three families only mentioned that there were eight Nascent Soul cultivators.
What is the reality?
People like Heitian Fujun, who are sons-in-law of the Zhuo family, are not even counted; there are many more hidden in the water.
Now in the Yin Shi Palace, Wang Yu quickly passed through the empty section in front and finally entered the first main hall.
Due to the rectangular layout of the Yinshi Palace, it can be divided into nine sections, from the first to the ninth, which are connected by two long corridors on the left and right.
Each hall has a different function, and therefore different opportunities.
This time, due to the Blood Slaughter Stele, the order of each hall has been disrupted, and even the detailed layout and the location of the restrictions have changed.
Wang Yu didn't care what secrets were hidden within.
He now needs information about the [Blood God Mind Control Technique], and after thinking it over, he thinks that only the personal disciple of Jiufeng might have any information.
Those from Evil God Peak don't count, and those from Blood Dark Peak didn't come.
Therefore, there are only seven people. He is most familiar with Yan Ling, so he must have already entered the depths of the Yin Erosion Hall, and may even be sitting in front of the Blood Killing Stone Tablet.
He reached out and pulled out his heart again, burning it to ashes.
Wang Yu felt himself becoming more and more like a monster. At some point, he was no longer afraid of even this kind of injury.
Even in the demonic path, known for its unpredictable techniques, very few Core Formation cultivators can achieve this.
The body's Yin Blood Secret Power can be restored a maximum of three times.
Wang Yu temporarily changed the placement bar to the Corpse Demon Secret Technique, letting this thing provide him with corpse energy and yin energy to re-condense the Yin Blood Pill; otherwise, Zhuo Shouyun would catch up.
You may lose control of your body, so you need to prepare.
He had used a similar operation before, so he was quite familiar with it.
The first hall within the Yin Shi Palace is inscribed with the words: "Yin Gong Palace!"
Wang Yu immediately recalled the relevant information. This should be the place where Venerable Yin Shi once forged weapons. The opportunities here are mainly materials of the three elements: blood, yin, and poison.
I just don't know what changes have occurred.
After entering, Wang Yu immediately slowed down. He had to be very careful when walking inside, and he also took out the feng shui compass.
Blank array flags spun on the feng shui compass. If he accidentally triggered a restriction, he could use feng shui secret techniques to fill in the gaps with the array flags, which was a kind of clever trick.
Inside the Yin Gong Hall, nine blast furnaces are arranged in a nine-palace layout.
The dome mural depicts an ancient mythical beast called the "Wind Fox," which, despite its unremarkable name, is actually the embodiment of wind.
It is difficult to move on its own and can only travel by the wind.
It looks like a spirit of calamus, with the body of a raccoon dog.
Therefore, it was regarded as a kind of immortal medicine by ancient cultivators. Consuming it could remove one's old energy and increase one's lifespan by 500 years. It was captured and became extinct.
According to intelligence, this should be a mural from the Danyun Palace.
Now it has appeared in the [Yin Gong Hall] used for refining weapons, and its layout has indeed been disrupted by the Blood Killing Stone Tablet. The method is truly strange.
His divine sense swept across each blast furnace.
Every two hundred years, a batch of equipment is produced inside the blast furnace. The quality varies. It is said that they were brought up from the depths of the Blood Demon Sea after the Yin Shi Palace disappeared.
Upon inspection, it was found to be completely empty.
It was clearly taken by those who ventured out first. Legend has it that a Nascent Soul cultivator once obtained fifth-tier equipment from it, but its quality decreased as the number of explorations increased.
Now, only Tier 3 equipment remains available.
Wang Yu walked from back to front along the nine palaces sequence. Looking at the blast furnaces used for refining weapons, he suddenly had a strange idea and wanted to pry them off.
On second thought.
The people who came in front of him didn't move, and there must be a reason for that. After all, which demonic cultivator isn't a master of plundering? He subconsciously glanced back and a thought immediately formed in his mind.
As the celestial sphere on the feng shui compass rose, Wang Yu passed through the Nine Palaces Earth Fire Formation and threw out nine blank array flags, which were then inserted into the top of the blast furnace.
The mysteries of the Earth Mother Sutra flow through my heart.
Suddenly, the Nine Palaces were in disarray! The original normal order was no longer possible. If Zhuo Shouyun and his group continued to follow the old intelligence, they would inevitably suffer a great loss.
That's where the strength of a Feng Shui master lies.
Besides being able to leverage the extraordinary natural formations, the things set up by these predecessors can also be utilized to some extent.
After passing through the latter half of the Yin Gong Palace, he encountered a lot of ashes, which Wang Yu glanced at before quickly leaving.
The second hall within the Yin Shi Palace bears the inscription: "[Hall of the Female Ruler]!"
…………
…………
"Phew~"
A middle-aged cultivator, whose mouth was spitting flames, wiped the sweat from his brow and carefully used his flying sword to dig out some of the melted black ice and send it to the rear.
"Young Master Yun, the connection is almost established, please proceed!"
Zhuo Shouyun sat on the blood sedan chair formed by eight blood shadows, glanced down, and said expressionlessly.
"You go first."
Yes, yes, yes.
Currently, there are more than twenty people following him, all standing in the passage cut out inside the black ice, making it seem a bit crowded.
After Wang Yu, they were about half an hour behind.
Being inside the Yin Shi Palace, I dared not use too much force, so my efficiency was naturally much slower. But now I was able to enter the first hall smoothly.
When they saw the nine-square blast furnace, someone said.
"Are there any fellow Daoist array masters?"
No one responded, and the man's face immediately turned ugly. In fact, thinking about it, it made sense; a capable and confident person would have entered the Yin Shi Palace immediately.
Regardless of the changes brought about by the Blood Killing Stone Tablet, they were fearless and wanted to get the benefits as soon as possible, driven by a competitive spirit.
Those left outside were either deliberately sent ahead to gradually gather information.
Most of them are cultivators who don't know array formations or feng shui techniques; they don't have that kind of confidence!
"It's alright."
Zhuo Shouyun looked up at the mural of the wind fox on the dome before saying, "I have the Zhuo Clan's intelligence on the Yin Shi Palace here. After you have read it, you will pass it on one by one to prevent any accidents from happening."
The information from the Guifang Zhuo clan was naturally more detailed than what they had, and it was immediately circulated.
Another half incense stick's time wasted.
One of the cultivators said, "Let me go first. Young Master Yun has made so many preparations, it must not have been in vain."
After entering the Nine Palaces formation and finding nothing had changed, the person waved to the person behind them.
Some people followed suit, while others thought they'd wait and see.
Halfway there.
Suddenly, the nine blast furnaces began to tremble. The fire inlets at the bottom of the furnaces opened abruptly, and a strange blackish-gray flame rose from the ground, carrying a peculiar, fishy smell.
"not good!"
Zhuo Shouyun's expression changed, and the blood-stained sedan chair beneath him transformed into a blood cocoon, completely enveloping him.
The cultivators who were in the Nine Palaces Earth Fire Formation had just picked up their speed when they were instantly burned to ashes by the strange flames.
Even the storage ring on his hand was damaged, scattering magical treasures, miscellaneous items, and golden cores all over the ground...
Those of poor quality were burned to ashes, while those of better quality were sucked into the blast furnace, rising and falling inside, like being forged, which was quite charming.
If Wang Yu were here, he would find that these ashes are exactly the same as what he just saw.
However, what he saw were several unlucky people.
These people were completely scammed.
This change drew everyone's attention to Zhuo Shouyun, their intense questioning gazes fixed on his face. His expression remained unchanged as he coldly spoke.
"As I said, we'll go through them one by one. After the Blood Killing Stone Tablet appeared, the layout of the Yin Erosion Hall was already disrupted."
"The first three steps are fine, but the fourth step has a problem. Let's re-examine the possibilities and have the puppet or ghost servant try it. Are there any fellow Daoists from Five Yin Peak?"
The logic is sound, and Zhuo Shouyun had no motive to harm them.
Although the crowd was suspicious, they did not immediately make a move, thus maintaining their trust.
"I'll do it. My Ten Thousand Souls Banner contains many Yin spirits, enough to test it out."
"Very well, fellow Daoist, come on over."
After barely managing to get through it, Zhuo Shouyun began to ponder deeply.
He wondered whether this was Wang Yu's doing or something arranged by the earlier group. If it was the earlier group, how did Wang Yu get there?
He could sense through a secret method that Wang Yu was still alive.
But if it was arranged by Wang Yu, when did he become proficient in feng shui techniques? The fact that his intelligence network didn't detect it is rather alarming.
His calculations were all based on the target information, and nine out of ten of them could not escape his grasp, but Wang Yu was an exception.
"Once is a coincidence, but twice or three times is inevitable. Once we get past the Yin Gong Hall, we'll be able to confirm who's behind it!"
Thinking this to myself.
After a group of ghosts died, the disordered nine palace positions were restored to a safe route, and thankfully no more accidents occurred.
Before entering the second hall, his team still had nineteen people left.
——[Female Queen Hall]!
There are seventeen naked stone statues, each lifelike and posing, including eight female statues and nine male statues.
Representing the eight yin and nine yang, with the extreme of yang being nine and the extreme of yin being eight, this palace is named after a woman, making it difficult to understand its purpose and meaning.
The opportunities here are called Yin Pearl and Yang Pearl.
The reproductive organs of these stone statues condense into a bead every two hundred years, which can be used for alchemy and weapon crafting; they are man-made third-tier spiritual objects.
It is very popular among practitioners of the Hehuan Sect.
After Zhuo Shouyun and his group left the Palace of the Queen, only thirteen people remained, six of whom were left in the palace forever.
Someone couldn't hold back any longer.
"Zhuo Shouyun, you didn't deliberately give us the wrong information, hoping we'd all die in the Yin Shi Palace so you could renege on those promised benefits, did you?"
These words immediately shattered my already fragile heart.
They all launched attacks.
The impatient Zhuo Shouyun has already unleashed his magic weapons; now it's up to him to say what he has to say.
He thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Gentlemen, this is all Wang Yu's scheme..."
"Wang Yu, Wang Yu! Don't put all the blame on Wang Yu! This man has outstanding combat power. Not only is his supernatural ability at a high level, but he also cultivates the body."
"To have such attainments at such a young age is already a prodigy. Do you really want to say that he is proficient in Feng Shui and other extraordinary arts? Do you even believe that yourself?!"
Zhuo Shouyun was speechless for a moment.
"Now... bring out the promised reward."
"Everyone has already accompanied you to fight Wang Yu at the entrance of the Yin Shi Palace, but you just couldn't stop him."
"It's time to give what needs to be given."
The change in wind direction left Zhuo Shouyun in a dilemma.
He said.
"How about I go first?"
…………
…………
The Sixth Hall – [The Hall of Blood Slaughter]!
Wang Yu stroked his chin, looked at the completely empty array flag reserves, and sighed regretfully.
"This Earth Mother Scripture is truly useful. I should prepare more blank array flags in the future. I wonder how Zhuo Shouyun is doing."
After silently criticizing him, Wang Yu shifted his attention.
He muttered to himself.
"The Blood Slaughter Hall... is not mentioned in the intelligence records. It seems to be the inner hall where the Blood Slaughter Stele is located."
This means that Yan Ling and the others are most likely in this hall as well.
After entering the main hall.
Wang Yu paused, slightly surprised, because there were far more people in the inner hall than he had imagined.
I thought a few dozen people would be the maximum, but who would have thought there would be more than three hundred!
There were people in front of a huge black and red stone tablet.
Some are sitting, some are standing, some are lying down, some are hanging from the beams, some are clinging to the pillars...
Apart from the stone tablet itself, there were only people in this inner hall.
It seems that the past intelligence was highly credible and extremely detailed; otherwise, the pass rate could not have been so high.
If that's really the case, then we should be glad we've been pulling along the way.
This left Zhuo Shouyun with a lot of trouble.
"Wang Yu!"
His entrance drew the attention of some people, but Yan Ling's call was even more noticeable. Wang Yu responded with a smile and weaved through the crowd.
"Your Highness Yanling, who is this...?"
Beside him was a guy with a corpse-like face who looked like he had kidney deficiency, but he was quite handsome and no less so than him.
His demeanor was too sinister, and he had a faint, unpleasant smell, a mixture of the stench of corpses and perfume.
"Jiang Mingxin, seeing is believing, Fellow Daoist Wang Yu!"
"So you are the current disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Peak. I've heard so much about you."
After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Yu stopped staring at Yan Ling and pulled her out of the Blood Slaughter Hall to talk privately.
As partners who support each other, Yan Ling readily agreed, said goodbye to a few acquaintances, and then temporarily left with Wang Yu.
Outside the hall, Wang Yu used his divine sense to create a soundproof barrier.
Only then did Fang Xin speak.
"Are you all crammed into this Blood Slaughter Hall because of that stone tablet?"
