Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

The ancient Taoist temple was vast, and many areas contained all sorts of treasures, which, though covered by dust, possessed immense power.

It only requires expending the magical power within the body to bring it out.

This seems to be a reward, allowing those who embark on the ancient path through the stars to proceed safely.

The second spiritual body chose the "Bodhi Heart Sutra," but its internal energy of destiny was completely depleted and could not be replenished in a short time, so it had the intention to leave.

The ancient restrictions here are strange; they seem to possess some kind of self-awareness, able to discern whether a visitor is destined to enter before deciding whether to activate them.

For those who are destined, the restrictions will be lifted.

Those who are not destined to be there will remain unmoved by the restrictions.

Luo Yan walked towards the back of the ancient dojo, which was shrouded in an ancient restriction, with countless divine runes covering the void and giving rise to a thick fog.

It made it difficult for him to see clearly.

‘Wow! ’

Perhaps it was because the second spiritual body was gradually moving out of the ancient Taoist temple area that the sky ahead gradually darkened, and the thick fog gradually took on color.

It transformed into wisps of black smoke, filled with a sinister aura, causing the surrounding air to chill, as if one had entered a new realm.

‘Woo! ’

Faintly, a bright green flame burned in the black mist, accompanied by low, mournful howls—the figure of a vengeful spirit.

At this moment, the sky was filled with wandering ghosts, and the eerie atmosphere made people tremble.

'Clang Clang! '

The sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses came from all directions, and in the eerie black mist, figures swarmed, inspiring fear in those who looked upon them.

This place appears to be an ancient battlefield.

'Om! '

Suddenly, Luo Yan's ears twitched involuntarily twice; he had noticed some unusual sound.

The next moment, dozens of soldiers wearing dull brown armor, holding long halberds, and with hollow faces appeared from the side and front.

They wielded long halberds and moved through the black mist; wherever they could see, the clouds churned and the air froze.

The gazes of these evil spirits swept over, fixed intently on Luo Yan, seemingly having locked him in place.

The second spirit body glanced at it briefly, then was struck by a chill. Numerous phantoms appeared before its eyes, eerily ghostly, accompanied by constant cries of pain.

In just a moment, even he was pulled into some kind of illusion, which shows how extraordinary these evil spirits are.

"Ghost soldiers?"

Luo Yan frowned; he could sense the strong will emanating from those soldiers.

Tyrannical, bloodthirsty, stationed, patrolling, and killing any intruders.
Luo Yan subconsciously tried to suppress her aura, but she still couldn't escape the lock-on of the group of evil spirits and was attacked by them.

Luo Yan began to fight back, and a dazzling five-colored light shattered all barriers.

All the ghostly soldiers vanished.

But soon, their figures reappeared here.

These soldiers, whose bodies are made of yin energy, can still be reassembled even if they are forcibly dispersed.

It seemed that a mysterious power permeated the black mist, capable of reviving their ghostly bodies.

Then, the group of ghost soldiers attacked the second spirit body again.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, let it all go."

The second spiritual body no longer chose to use violent spellcasting, but instead used divine light in a targeted manner to deal with the situation skillfully.

The golden holy light enveloped the world, turning the black clouds into bright daylight and illuminating the entire Milky Way.

In an instant, all the Yin soldiers were forcibly purified by this great power and dissipated into the world.

There are no signs of recovery.

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared into the black mist.

Before he had gone more than a few dozen miles, he saw a burly and bloodthirsty figure standing in the clouds.

Even from a distance, one could feel the murderous aura emanating from the other party, which was like a cloud, obscuring the entire road ahead.

This blood-red figure was more than ten times stronger than the previous ghostly soldiers.

Luo Yan's gaze shifted slightly as she glanced casually ahead, without pausing her steps.

The moment he stepped into this place, his aura was firmly locked by that blood-red figure, and the obstacle in his path reappeared.

"Anyone who trespasses will die!"

This blood-red figure was also a spirit, much more agile than the ghost soldiers. Its body was filled with surging malevolent energy, its eye sockets were hollow, its crimson blood was dazzling, and its aura was extremely terrifying.

He possesses an aura comparable to that of a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Realm.

Luo Yan was slightly surprised. This should be the Yin General from the ancient battlefield, who was many times more powerful than the Yin Soldiers.

In this special place, the strength of the Yin General may only be at the top level of a great genius, and many people can defeat him.

But the most troublesome aspect of the Yin General is its infinite resurrection; even if its body is destroyed, it can endlessly revive.

This is the most frightening thing.

Therefore, simply defeating this Yin General is far from enough to traverse this ancient road.

Only by purifying it, sealing it, or forcibly breaking through the barrier can one possibly overcome it.

But no matter what, the strength of this Yin General should not be underestimated.

Luo Yan's mind gradually tightened, preparing to fully engage in the upcoming battle, but his feet kept moving forward.

'Om! '

Blood Spirit Yin raised his halberd, its sharp tip unleashing a burst of light as it struck forward, heading towards the area where Luo Yan was located.

A rumbling sound rang out as the halberd fell, causing sections of space to collapse, turbulent void currents to surge forth, and ultimate laws burst forth, ravaging the entire world.

At the same time, this ancient battlefield became active, with endless yin energy surging, a constant buzzing sound, and flowing light, like a lively scene before a thunderstorm.

The moment Blood Spirit Yin made his move, it caused a huge commotion, and the blood-red radiance dyed the black mist into a dazzling scarlet.

It's quite eye-catching.

Within the black mist, wave after wave of Yin soldiers were summoned, emerging from the fog and following the Blood Spirit Yin General as they surrounded and attacked Luo Yan.

They were charging soldiers, working in close coordination, advancing fearlessly, their killing intent palpable.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Luo Yan conjured stars with his hands, propelling a dazzling holy light to swirl around him. The void buzzed, and five-colored rays of light illuminated most of the battlefield.

With an unparalleled strength that could hold off ten thousand men, he unleashed the most blazing divine light, sweeping across all directions.

Before the ghostly soldiers even got close, they were forcibly purified, like candlelight in the dark night, burning away everything insignificant.

Blood Spirit Yin General also seized the opportunity to strike, wanting to repel the offending enemy. However, the holy light that enveloped this world was too intense, and even he himself could not withstand the impact of this holy light. Before long, he turned into ashes and dissipated.

Because the power of laws at this level is truly terrifying, and ordinary beings cannot contend with it.

In the realm of Yin energy, divine light is their natural enemy; its power is like water drowning a bonfire, capable of annihilation. A large group of Yin soldiers, along with a Yin general, attacked together, yet they still could not harm Luo Yan in the slightest.

There is a significant gap in strength between the two sides.

‘Wow! ’

A mysterious force seemed to be surging within, causing the Blood Spirit Yin General's body to be condensed once more. He swung his halberd forward and strode towards Luo Yan.

If an ordinary person, after a fierce battle and a hard-fought victory, were to face the scene of the Yin General's resurrection, their eyes would be bloodshot and their Dao heart would collapse.

Even if the opponent's body is destroyed, they can still revive, so they are impossible to kill.

However, Luo Yan had ample experience dealing with such creatures and did not find them particularly troublesome.

He swiftly leaped forward, and crimson-black divine chains emerged from his right palm, instantly sealing off the Blood Spirit General's body and preventing him from unleashing his power.

Then he whispered a spell, which brought forth a divine radiance.

'Roar! '

Blood Spirit Yin General let out a muffled growl, as startling as a wild beast. Unafraid of weapons, he seemed to sense the restraints and injuries on his body, and began to struggle violently, trying to break free from these constraints.

The Blood Spirit General's body was covered with terrifying Yin energy. His armor, which was originally a withered yellow color, turned blood red in the blink of an eye, and his sinister aura was overwhelming.

The divine chains binding him were dull and lifeless, seemingly without any spiritual energy leaking out, and looked quite inconspicuous.

In reality, this sealing method is extremely terrifying, having reached the pinnacle of the current field, a state of returning to simplicity.

In the end, after struggling for a while, Blood Spirit Yin was still unable to break free from the divine rune chains, and its body gradually stopped moving.

Under Luo Yan's gaze, the body of this Yin General, composed of countless Yin Sha Qi, gradually shrank and transformed into a reddish-gray Yin Pearl, which floated in mid-air.

"This is?"

Luo Yan examined the Yin Pearl in his hand and immediately realized that it was filled with several kinds of Great Dao Laws, including the Dao of the Halberd, the Dao of Yin Qi, the Dao of Killing Qi, and so on.

These are all the Daoist auras that Blood Spirit Yin General previously revealed.

Unexpectedly, they all transformed into pure fragments of law, condensing within this tiny bead.

Although these laws of power were not numerous, they still caught Luo Yan's eye, because it provided him with another way to obtain fragments of laws.

Afterwards, Luo Yan continued to walk deeper into the ancient battlefield.

The fog was thick and boundless; all around was a dark, dense fog.

Without coordinates or directions, it's easy to get lost in this place.

Ke Luoyan didn't care about that; she just kept moving forward without stopping.

More than a hundred years ago, he understood from his original body's memories that the way to perceive the outside world could not be limited to just the eyes.

Divine consciousness, the mind, the sixth sense, and so on, are all eyes that peer into the mind.

There were many ghostly soldiers and generals existing in the fog, and Luo Yan would encounter one or two waves of attacks every short distance he traveled.

For others, this might be a huge problem.

But for Luo Yan, it was nothing more than gaining one Yin Pearl after another.

The fragments of laws contained within these Yin Pearls are mostly related to the path of killing, and the path of swords, spears, and halberds—all of which are related to war.

If Luo Yan's true form were here, he could instantly increase the power of the laws and Dao within his body by 20-30% simply by absorbing these Yin Pearls.

If he stays here long enough and collects enough Yin Pearls, it's not impossible for Luo Yan to perfect the laws and principles related to warfare within his body.

This will save him a lot of time for his subsequent cultivation.

‘Crash! ’

After Luo Yan finished another battle, the fog ahead began to churn violently, revealing an ancient and magnificent city.

The city gate of the great city had a large hole in it, and the walls were full of pits and craters, bearing the marks of war.

These traces have not disappeared with the passage of time; they remain, mottled yet incredibly clear.

Luo Yan stood in front of the city gate, and the mist behind him disappeared. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, he had been teleported to another world.

'Tap!' 'Tap!' 'Tap!'

As Luo Yan approached the city gate, it opened automatically, welcoming him inside.

Clearly, even after countless years, this giant city is still filled with a mysterious power that protects it.

Though invisible, it exists silently.

The city was quiet and peaceful, without any noise. The streets were empty, covered with the weathered look of time, and stretched as far as the eye could see.

Luo Yan secretly exerted force under her feet, and the spiritual energy fluctuations were transmitted out, but they were suppressed by a huge magical restriction, and she did not release the slightest sound.

Everything was quiet; there was no sign of people or any living creatures.

It's as if this place is a ghost town.

Continuing forward, Luo Yan could see the silhouettes of shops on both sides of the street, with weathered stone plaques hanging above them.

The ancient characters on it are faintly visible, indicating that it sells various elixirs, talismans, artifacts, and treasures.

It's not hard to imagine how prosperous this magnificent city must have been, how many ancient cultivators practiced here, and what a thriving scene it must have been.

Now, all the glory has faded, the giant city is terribly desolate, and no more noise can be heard.

Luo Yan surveyed the layout of the giant city, then rode the Qilin along the central street toward the inner city.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the very center of this giant city.

This place is a wide stone plaza with hundreds of stone statues standing on it, each hundreds of feet tall. Standing in front of these statues, he looked as small as an ant.

The stone statue is dressed in a withered yellow armor, holds a weapon, has a resolute face, and exudes a murderous aura.

Luo Yan stared blankly at the stone statues, and in a daze, he felt wave after wave of murderous aura rushing towards him.

An immeasurable power surged forth, swirling with a surging stench of blood, and the Daoist aura of slaughter burned intensely.

This is the aura of the Great Dao, which, despite the passage of time, remains incredibly powerful.

"This place must hold some unknown ancient secrets. I wonder if there will ever be a chance to completely unravel them," Luo Yan said absentmindedly.

He stared intently at the stone statue before him, which was surrounded by an aura of laws that transcended all others, and every invisible fluctuation contained the radiance of the Great Dao.

He concentrated and held his breath, trying to comprehend the Great Dao, but found that the inside of the stone statue was empty.

That so-called Great Dao Qi is now just an empty shell.

Luo Yan walked towards each of the stone statues, even jumping onto them, trying to capture the remaining traces of Daoist charm.

Unfortunately, all the stone statues were hollow inside, and there was no trace of any fragments.

"It's a pity. There should be something inside these stone statues, but it has been taken away ahead of time."

"I'm late," Luo Yan muttered.

The opportunities here have already been fully seized by those who came before. (End of Chapter)
