Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Chapter 448 Meeting
After walking along a small path, a cave entrance appeared. The dark cave entrance seemed to connect to the underworld.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, there was a faint cold wind blowing upwards, making me feel chilly.

There is a white marble staircase extending from the cave entrance, disappearing step by step into the darkness, as if a giant beast is opening its huge mouth to devour its prey.

Yi Jue, Yi Tianxing, and the unconscious Ye Zi, went down together.

As soon as they entered, Yi Jue called out the blood slaves to clear the way, and Yi Tianxing also let Zui Meng come out.

Ye Zi just had to endure the hardship temporarily, as Yi Jue put her into the Wanyu Ring. It was still unclear whether she could wake up now, so it naturally had nothing to do with the division this time.

"Father, it looks like we have finally reached our final destination."

Yi Jue sighed, saying that this journey was truly bizarre, and he even hovered on the brink of life and death several times. This further strengthened Yi Jue's determination to pursue the Tao.

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, only cultivation can bring Yi Jue a little sense of security.

I guess this is why there are so many ascetics in this world.

They went down step by step to the depths of the cave, which looked quite deep. It took them a full quarter of an hour to finally reach the bottom of the earth.

After going underground, it seems like a hall, with roads all around leading to one cave room after another. The layout is simple and elegant.

The floor of this road was engraved with some unknown patterns, some of which Yi Jue had seen in some ancient books. They were the methods used by ancient monks to refine weapons.

"Go check it out."

Yi Jue gave instructions to the blood slave, indicating that he should open the secret rooms one by one. As the blood slave moved forward, Yi Jue and Yi Tianxing stayed where they were and waited.

The door of a secret room was opened, revealing a skeleton sitting cross-legged inside, which turned out to be a handful of dust.

Because the moment the blood slave opened the door, he could see the skeleton in the secret room turn to dust.

Yi Jue felt something was wrong, and immediately took back Ji Lian's soul in the blood slave and retreated explosively.

At this time, the blood slave behaved very strangely. It seemed as if it could not walk. It groped forward step by step and even began to learn to speak in a babbling manner.

Seeing that the strange existence did not catch up with him, Yi Jue directly released his inner demon. The inner demon drilled into the blood demon's body, and then after a while of squirming, it directly grabbed out a transparent soul.

Yi Jue performed the soul-searching technique without any hesitation, but what he got was a bunch of useless things, and this soul was directly shattered after Yi Jue searched the soul.

Yi Tianxing looked regretful.

"Something's wrong. There's something weird here."

Yi Jue stayed carefully behind, using secret techniques to continue controlling the blood slave to move forward.

He was really frightened by the cave where Han Li met Xiao Cha. When he encountered a strange soul trying to snatch his clone, he subconsciously withdrew his soul.

"Jue'er, don't worry. This is a soul. It is very common in some ancient caves."

"Souls are born from nothingness. They have low intelligence and weak attack power. However, the conditions for their birth are quite harsh. Generally, they need to be born in a place with spiritual energy for thousands of years without being disturbed by anyone."

Yi Jue smiled awkwardly.

"Father, how come I don't know this knowledge?" "The knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation is vast, and just comprehending the cultivation techniques takes up most of the time. A lot of knowledge can only be passed on in specific fields."

"The reason why there are so many different types of Jindan cultivators is because from here on, most cultivators can only dabble in it, and the methods of protecting the Dao that they turn to practice are generally only one or two."

"For example, I don't practice weapons, talismans, beast control, or ghost arts. I focus on the spearmanship in my hands and the black dragon soul. My life-long skills are to cultivate evil spirits."

"This is the foundation of my survival. I can practice many magical powers, but the main ones should revolve around my spear skills and the black dragon soul. The Jusha Jue Jue I practiced was for this black dragon soul."

"Of course, all of this depends on your life magic weapon!"

"This is the magic weapon that best matches your cultivation method. It is not an exaggeration to say that your life and soul are in harmony with it. It is the treasure that will protect you on your cultivation path for a long time in the future."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Yi Jue was also hesitant about this.

"My Dan-forming method is the way of physical cultivation, and what I practice is the blood nerves. Now I don't have a method to condense magic weapons. There is only a method to wash them, but I really don't have time to wash my face now."

"The second one is a magical power called Blood God Son. It requires a lot of resources and time, and it also occupies a lot of my mind."

"I want to retreat for a while to cultivate my blood nerves, but for the next period of time, various matters will require me, whether it is Huangquan Valley or the teleportation array within the clan, or even the invasion of the demonic path."

Yi Jue said a lot in one breath. In this eerie and strange place, he had a rare heart-to-heart talk with his father.

But when Yi Tianxing heard this, he smiled.

"Do you know why the tribe made you the tribe leader?"

"Do you know why I would give up the position of clan leader?"

"Within a clan, things are so complicated that even if the power wants to remain strong, changes must be made. When I took over the clan affairs, I also eliminated the malpractices, streamlined the organization, and redistributed the power layout."

"If not for this, I would not have the resources to refine my own magical weapon. However, after successfully refining it, staying in the position of clan leader would greatly affect my cultivation."

"Although it is dangerous to gain experience outside, it is indeed the fastest way to improve."

"Although it is boring to practice in a spiritual land, you can see benefits from time to time."

"Only by handling general affairs can we see the prosperity of power, but it is difficult to see the improvement of one's own strength."

"Therefore, only those with the best talents will be allowed to handle these things. On the one hand, it is a training, and on the other hand, it is also a reasonable gift of some resources."

“Therefore, those who are really fighting for power within the clan are actually those young people whose future is already blocked or those who have just made a breakthrough.”

The two of them also opened their hearts and tried their best to eliminate the little estrangement that had arisen in the Pure Land of Bliss. After all, thoughts were often unavoidable.

In that kind of environment, it is understandable that some dark thoughts arise.

But if they were ignored, these thoughts might become a thorn in the hearts of the father and son. After all, there were two Jindan in the same family, and too many people were watching them.

Once someone discovers this clue and takes advantage of it, I'm afraid the relationship between father and son will experience some twists and turns.
