Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 209

With a deafening roar, the blood sacrifice array finally shattered. The Blood Demon Sect experts were shocked and their morale plummeted.

Pressing their advantage, the group routed the remaining Blood Demon Sect experts, who scattered and fled.

Although Gu Shihan and the others were exhausted, they successfully thwarted the Blood Demon Sect's plot.

"After this, the Blood Demon Sect probably won't dare to cause trouble again for a while," Gu Shihan said.

As everyone was taking a short rest, an unusual light suddenly appeared on the horizon, as if a treasure had appeared in the world.

"Is this an unusual phenomenon? Is some kind of treasure appearing? Should we go and join the fun?"

"Let's go take a look," Gu Shihan called to everyone.

Upon reaching the light, they saw a crescent-shaped magical artifact radiating seven-colored light floating in mid-air.

"So many people!" Wen Xin exclaimed.

"That's for sure. Who wouldn't want treasure? Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire!"

Indeed, in order to obtain the treasure, several waves of cultivators began to vie for it, and more and more cultivators joined the battle.

Gu Shihan and the others didn't have any particular intentions; they were simply there to witness the spectacular sight of the divine artifact's birth.

The magical artifact suddenly shone brightly, and a spiritual sense entered Gu Shihan's mind. The divine artifact spun rapidly in the air and then suddenly disappeared.

Gu Shihan was startled. The moment the artifact's light faded, a new message appeared in her mind.

It turns out that this artifact is not an ordinary artifact; it is a rare divine soul artifact, which can only be recognized as a master by those with powerful divine souls.

Gu Shihan cultivates a divine sense technique, and her divine soul strength is much stronger than that of normal cultivators, especially in the mortal realm of this heaven, where her divine soul strength is even more extraordinary.

"My divine artifact! Where is my divine artifact? Who? Who stole my divine artifact?" an old man in a gray robe roared at the people around him.

"Old ghost! What nonsense are you spouting? How did that artifact become yours? An artifact is an artifact; it chooses its own master. Why are you going crazy if you can't have it? Go home!" A man in a blue robe blocked his punch.

"Freedom to choose one's master?"

"Yes! I've heard that high-level magical artifacts possess sentience. I haven't obtained any; magical artifacts are simply not meant for me!"

"I wonder which cultivator obtained this divine artifact? Could you show it to us? Let us broaden our horizons!" A female cultivator in white robes glanced around and said with a smile.

"Fairy, you jest. Whoever obtains a treasure will announce it to the world..."

The other cultivators looked at the now calm sky, knowing that the treasure had already been claimed, their hopes dashed, and could only leave dejectedly.

After obtaining the artifact, Gu Shihan felt her spiritual power was much more abundant. In order not to be noticed, she quickly informed a few people and retreated with the crowd.

"Shi Han, you got the artifact? That's great!" Duan Siqi whispered.

"Yes, this is a divine soul artifact. With it, you will be much more confident in seeing through illusions in the future. The artifact also comes with several divine soul cultivation techniques. I will copy them down so you can cultivate them together."

"Shi Han, no need. This is your opportunity, you don't need to give it to us!" Duan Siqi said after thinking for a moment.

"It's alright, we're a whole. In this Immortal Realm, strength comes from everyone being strong. After all, we have no roots here, only each other!" Gu Shihan said with a smile.

The group left the cultivators' group and found a place to rest. Gu Shihan gave everyone the copied soul cultivation technique, saying, "This is a technique that comes with a divine artifact. You should cultivate it too. A strong soul will be beneficial for advancement." "Junior sister! This isn't appropriate! Since it's your opportunity, you should cultivate it yourself. We don't need it!" Mo Yu said hesitantly.

“Yes! Shi Han, there are rules in the cultivation world: whoever gets the opportunity gets it!” Mo Jian also said.

"It's alright. The artifact comes with its own cultivation technique, so consider this a gift. Don't feel burdened, just cultivate diligently; this technique is quite good!"

"Then thank you, Shi Han!" Everyone smiled and accepted the jade slip.

In order to better cultivate their spiritual techniques, the group of nine stayed here for ten days before leaving.

Ten days is fifty days in the time array. In those fifty days, Duan Siqi and the others made progress in their spiritual cultivation techniques, entered the first level, and progressed to the next level.

The group continued their training journey, during which they heard that the Heavenly Yin Sect was capturing people in nearby villages to concoct evil medicines.

"It's the Heavenly Yin Sect again! They do such heinous things, aren't they afraid of retribution?" Duan Siqi said angrily.

"Retribution? Their very existence is a mistake, and we absolutely cannot tolerate it! Let's go and deal with them right now!" Wen Xin chimed in.

The group hurried to the village ahead, ready to once again punish evil and uphold justice, protecting the peace of this land.

When the group arrived at the village, they saw the followers of the Tianyin Cult driving the villagers together.

Gu Shihan roared and led the group forward. The members of the Tianyin Sect were not alarmed when they saw them coming; instead, they revealed eerie smiles.

The battle erupted instantly. The Heavenly Yin Sect's magic was insidious and cunning, with various poisonous mists and hidden arrows flying towards the group.

Gu Shihan wielded the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword. With a flash of sword light, the sword energy split into seven, attacking the seven Tianyin Sect members.

Mo Yu and the others also found their opponents, and for a time, sword light and spells flew, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Suddenly, a person dressed in a blood-red robe descended from the sky, exuding a powerful aura.

Gu Shihan was startled and quickly reminded him, "This person should be the leader of the Tianyin Sect. His cultivation is at the Mahayana stage. You must be careful and not confront him head-on."

"Shi Han, what should we do? How about the two of us team up and have Mo Jian and the others distract him from the sidelines, so we can try to take him down in one fell swoop?!" Duan Siqi whispered.

"it is good!"

The man in the blood-red robe glanced at them arrogantly and said coldly, "So you're the ones who ruined our plans? You're really overestimating yourselves!"

Gu Shihan sneered and replied, "Good thing? Using human lives to make medicine is against the natural order, you all deserve to die!"

"Nonsense! I'm doing this for the benefit of all cultivators, you know? As long as we succeed in refining the medicine, countless cultivators will embark on the path to immortality and won't waste their time."

Is it wrong for me to only want the hard work of a few people? It's their honor that they're willing to give their lives for my grand plan. And you… you seem quite suitable too, so let's all come together!”

Shi Qinghan was furious and cursed, "How ridiculous! Don't other people's lives matter? You are evil cultivators, which is intolerable to Heaven. You have committed numerous evils and harmed living beings. Heaven will not tolerate you. Today, we will take your life to prevent you from harming others!"

After Shi Qinghan finished speaking, he drew his sword and launched an attack in coordination with Mo Yu.

The two swordsmen were agile, and their sword energy enveloped the leader of the Heavenly Yin Sect like a net.

Mo Jian and the others also dispersed as planned, either feigning attacks or releasing spells to distract the leader and prevent the Tianyin Sect members from getting close to attack.
