Chapter 276 Talking with the Ghost Cultivator
Chapter 276 Talking with the Ghost Cultivator
There are many foundation-building monks in the city, but not a single Golden Core True Lord has been seen.
The noise here is too much, which is not conducive to meditation and does not suit the identity of a Jindan cultivator.
Famous mountains and secret places, or high in the sky, are where the immortal masters reside.
Even if there is any unusual movement in Wangke City, high-level cultivators from Jiulian Mountain or the Floating Island can arrive in an instant.
Each floating island is a secret place. In terms of the concentration of spiritual energy alone, it is better than the once intact Li Yu Cave Heaven.
Of course, after Chen Yu’s repair and renovation, the quality of the current Li Yu Dongtian is no less than any of the other ones.
Only cultivators who completely abstain from grains, that is, those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, are qualified to live on the floating island.
But this does not mean that a foundation-building cultivator is qualified to occupy a cave dwelling alone; this is a privilege only available to a Golden Core True Lord.
The cultivators at the Jindan realm can often represent a relatively independent faction below the Yuanying realm.
The Tianyan Sect is a huge organization that stretches across the northwest of Tanzhou, and its subordinate forces are deeply intertwined.
In fact, there are many shops in Wangke City, about 20% of which are directly operated by Tianyan Sect, and 80% are rented to the vassal immortal cultivation families of the immortal sect.
There are thousands of elixirs, talismans, formations and instruments of various kinds, not only belonging to the twelve meridian immortal families, but also involving layers of exchange of interests.
Behind every alchemy workshop or weapon refining workshop there is at least one Foundation Establishment Master, and Foundation Establishment Masters often become disciples of a Golden Elixir Master.
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Yu, who came from afar, to sort out the relationship, but he could get a glimpse of it from the conversation between the monks.
There is no need to use spiritual consciousness to scan, with the mind clear, one can hear sounds from all directions and understand all the privacy.
Just as he entered the city without leaving a trace, the spirit puppet silently crossed the downtown area and headed straight to the Jiulian Mountains in the west.
Standing on the hillside in the southwest of the city and overlooking Wangke Immortal City, you can see the majestic clouds and the image of fierce dragons and tigers.
Looking at the three floating islands hanging in the sky, I am even more amazed at the exquisite design of this place.
The formation is centered around the three islands, which serve as both the center of the formation that suppresses the terrain and a secret realm where spiritual energy gushes forth.
The radiation range reached a million miles in radius, laying the foundation for the prosperity of Tanzhou people.
The array's operations are interconnected and self-reliant, so generally no major problems will arise.
In addition, with minor repairs by a fourth-level formation master over the years, the formation has not only not been damaged, but has accumulated a deep foundation.
Even from Chen Yu's perspective, the cultivator who set up this formation was of extraordinary attainments, and was probably a fourth-rank upper-grade formation master or even higher.
Unfortunately, the founder of the sect was already a figure who lived ten thousand years ago. After breaking through to the state of spiritual transformation, he went to the spiritual world to seek further opportunities.
I don’t know whether he died of old age or successfully ascended to the immortal world.
If we can meet and discuss things together, it will be a great blessing in life.
Of course, this requires Chen Yu’s cultivation level to reach a corresponding height, otherwise he would be overestimating his own abilities.
Changqing Peak of Jiulian Mountain is one of the nine lower branches. The elders and disciples all practice Changqing Method and are good at cultivating spiritual plants and refining elixirs.
The spirit puppet burrowed into the earth and came to the bottom of the mountain, where he naturally noticed something unusual.
The yin energy here is extremely strong, and there is a dormant force that is no weaker than his.
Because of the existence of spiritual energy, there is a certain chance that the souls in the world of immortal cultivation will not dissipate immediately after losing their physical bodies.
These souls wander between heaven and earth, and most of them are found and purified or driven by monks.
Some are lucky enough to find an object to possess, and know how to use blood and souls for spiritual practice, and they may become evil ghosts.
So at first Chen Yu thought it was an evil ghost captured by the sect and suppressed here for future use.
The atmosphere was peaceful and there seemed to be no sign of harm.
Although he revealed a kind of coldness that was very different from that of living people, he was not entangled with too much resentment.
If you carefully investigate with your spiritual sense, you will find that the negative energy from all directions is converging towards the core through the formation.
Could it be that the Tianyan Sect, as a major righteous sect, is secretly raising evil spirits?
Continue walking a few miles towards the center, and the view suddenly opens up.
This is an open square, hiding a dark underground.
In the middle of the square there is a huge stone about two meters high and fifteen meters long and wide.
"You can come if you want, why are you being so sneaky?"
It was discovered!
A hint of surprise flashed through Chen Yu's mind, but he was not panicked at all.
It's just a puppet anyway. At worst, it can explode and escape.
As he spoke, a soul slowly rose from the boulder, its magical power so strong that it was difficult to tell whether it was real or not.
Although he was at the same Nascent Soul stage, he could see clearly that the person in front of him had no physical body!
"My fellow Daoist has a keen eye. I am sorry to bother you."
The spirit puppet was indeed just strolling here, so Chen Yu had nothing to be shy about and bowed openly.
The soul is a middle-aged monk in a green robe, with a tall and slightly thin figure and an elegant appearance.
His movements were free and easy, showing the demeanor of an immortal.
The only flaw is that his face is pale, which adds a bit of weirdness.
"I am Xuanzhi, the 691st generation disciple of Tianyan Sect. I don't know where you come from."
"I am Chi Xiao, not a cultivator from Tanzhou."
As for which domain it comes from, there is no need to say more and no way to say more.
Xuan Zhi thought to himself, "As expected, although he rarely went out of the underground because of the spirit possession, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had his own means to get news from the outside world, but he had never heard of a new Taoist named Chi Xiao in Tanzhou.
Chen Yu was a little surprised. It seemed that the other party was not imprisoned by Tianyan Sect, but a high-ranking official of the sect.
"I have traveled all over the world and saw your precious land with its unique structure, so I lingered there and did not want to leave. Please forgive me."
"Oh? The path to immortality is long, but you are in a good mood.
In addition to Tanzhou, there are also many scenic spots and strange stories and people.
This meeting is fate, please come and talk to me."
The spirit puppet was not restrained and immediately sat down and started chatting with the monk.
There are five immortals in the world: Heaven, Earth, Man, Gods and Ghosts.
A cultivator whose lifespan has not yet ended but whose physical body has been destroyed may have the opportunity to switch to the path of ghost cultivation.
I learned from Xuan Zhi that the orthodox ghost immortals belong to the side door, and it is also a way of practice recognized by heaven and earth and the Xuanmen.
In the world of immortal cultivation, everyone wants to fight against the evil cultivators and demons, but ghost immortals are not included.
The evil cultivation methods are often short-sighted, and they use the blood and souls of monks and mortals to cultivate. Some are even insane and take pleasure in killing living beings.
The devil cultivators take it as their mission to destroy the world, and all living things in the world will fight them to the death.
However, the path of becoming a ghost immortal is extremely demanding. First of all, there must be a spiritual object to house the soul.
This spiritual object must be of extremely yin nature and cannot be contaminated by evil spirits.
The soul loses the support of the body, and its consciousness becomes very fragile. If the evil spirit hits the mind, it will become a bloodthirsty evil ghost.
Secondly, it must match the level of cultivation. If the grade is lower than the level of cultivation, it will collapse within a few days because it cannot withstand the power of the soul.
The rank of the Yin spiritual creature is much higher than one's cultivation level. Not only can one not ascend to immortality through it, one must also become nourishment for the spiritual creature.
Even so, one can only preserve one's cultivation, but it is difficult to make further progress.
If one wants to pursue the path to immortality as before, one must either find a precious spiritual object that can grow with one's cultivation, or possess a spiritual object of a higher grade every time one breaks through a realm.
This stone was taken from Fengyou Jue Valley and is already the best yin-attributed spiritual object in the hands of Tianyan Sect.
With the nourishment of the yin energy and formations at the bottom of the mountain, there is a slight possibility of advancement.
