Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 397 True Immortal Skeleton
After discussing with her companions for a while, the gentle woman returned and said with a smile, "If you want to see it, I will take you down. However, the situation down there is dangerous, so you must obey my orders in everything you do. Otherwise, if you encounter any danger, I will not be able to save you."

Tan Qian smiled and said, "This is not difficult."

The two parties immediately exchanged names.

Tan Qian realized that the people in front of her were all disciples of the Tianshan Sect. The gentle woman was their senior sister, named Shang Xiuning, and the boy who had previously imprisoned her was her younger brother, Shang Guangnan.

The two's parents were the leaders of the Tianshan Sect, Master Miaoyi and Madam Miaoyi.

The disciples beside the two were also their fellow disciples: Guo Jue and Wang Xiang, who were both disciples of Master Miaoyi, and Fengming Fairy, who was a disciple of Master Yuanming, Master Miaoyi's senior brother.

Besides them, there are disciples from three other sects in the depths of this dilapidated temple, attempting to enter the core of the True Immortal Ruins.

The three sects are Yuntai Sect, Zhengyi Sect, and Guangwen Sect, all of which are well-known sects of the immortal path in Taixuan Continent.

After listening to Shang Xiuning's general account of the cultivation world, Tan Qian felt his horizons broadened.

She lives in a secluded corner; how could she know the vastness of the world?

However, although these young people in front of me are knowledgeable, there is one thing they cannot do as well as I do.

That means they have divine protection, which is a far greater existence than their immortal path.

Shang Xiuning instructed her younger brother to continue guarding the cave entrance to prevent any outsiders from entering, while she led several junior brothers and Tan Qian down the cave.

Tan Qian discovered that there is a vast world underground here.

The cave they first entered seemed to have been built by the giant python, large enough for several people to pass through side by side. This made her secretly alarmed by the python's power. She thought to herself that if she came alone, unless she asked a god for help, she would be no match for this giant python.

Such a powerful python perished at the hands of these young people, who in turn were deeply wary of the ruins below.

Tan Qian immediately realized the danger of the ruins.

At the same time, I felt a deep sense of awe for that ancient immortal.

She asked, "Sister Xiuning, the ruins below are so dangerous, why didn't your elders come themselves, instead of sending you into danger?"

Shang Xiuning smiled and said, "It was this junior sister Fengming's master, my sect's senior uncle Yuanming, who discovered this site."

"He originally intended to open the ruins and take out the treasures inside, but he discovered that the true immortal's primordial spirit still remained. Cultivators below the Golden Core level could enter without disturbing the true immortal's primordial spirit and could remain unharmed."

"Whenever a cultivator who has achieved the Golden Core enters the path, it will trigger a counterattack from the True Immortal's primordial spirit."

“The primordial spirit of a true immortal is extraordinary. Even if it is just a remnant soul, it is far beyond the ability of today’s cultivators to contend with.”

"Therefore, after Master Yuanming returned, he consulted with several righteous sects and sent his talented disciples to retrieve the treasure, which also served as a test for the disciples."

It turned out to be the case.

Tan Qian nodded and asked, "I wonder where the danger below comes from?"

Shang Xiuning said, "That true immortal was corrupted by the evil power of the Demon Abyss, and his whole body turned into a river of blood. Only his head was protected by his primordial spirit, which kept it intact. However, as time went by, his primordial spirit gradually became dull and could no longer restrain the various thoughts within it."

"These thoughts, influenced by the power of the Demon Abyss, have become evil thoughts. Some have even been shaped into physical bodies using the blood and flesh from the brains of True Immortals, thus becoming the demons below."

"To get closer to the core, we need to get past these demons."

Tan Qian's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "It's just the thoughts in a True Immortal's mind that can transform into a dangerous demon?"

Shang Xiuning laughed and said, "The power of a true immortal is beyond our comprehension." Tan Qian was amazed and thought to himself, "I never imagined that a true immortal would have such power. I wonder who is more powerful, the gods or the true immortals?"
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I and the True Immortal each have our strengths. We'll only know who will win after we fight."

Tan Qian felt that the gods had heard his thoughts, so he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and quickly composed himself, not daring to let his mind wander.

Zhou Qing's words just now seemed to exaggerate his own abilities.

It can't be said to be completely fake.

If he were to fight a true immortal, he could send a nuclear explosion right in front of the immortal, forcing the immortal to withstand the blast. The temperature of the nuclear explosion, reaching tens of millions of degrees, exceeds the temperature of the sun's core. He doesn't believe the immortal could withstand it unscathed.

However, delivering a nuclear explosion to a true immortal would probably not be easy; one could only say that theoretically he has a chance of victory.

As for the probability, optimistically speaking, a ratio of one to nine would be quite remarkable.

The group descended several dozen feet, and Tan Qian gradually felt a foul force emanating from the ground, causing her to feel dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, that familiar power unique to the gods flowed through her body, instantly restoring her clarity.

Shang Xiuning had been watching her closely. Seeing how quickly she had broken free from the influence of the Demon Abyss, she exclaimed in surprise, "Sister's inheritance is truly remarkable. She managed to break free from the Demon Abyss's influence so quickly."

Tan Qian smiled and said, "My inheritance was obtained from this dilapidated temple by my ancestors. It was passed down by a sect called Qingyun Sect."

"Qingyun Sect?"

Shang Xiuning thought for a moment with doubt and said, "I have never heard of any major sect in ancient times with this name. I'm afraid I will have to wait until I return to the Tianshan Sect and search the sect's records to find out."

As they spoke, the group emerged from the tunnel and arrived at a spacious underground space.

The scene before her eyes deeply moved Tan Qian.

Not far away, there was a huge skull, like a mountain peak, hidden deep underground.

Many sparks, like stars, flew out from the holes in the skull, filling every corner of the underground space and illuminating it in a dreamlike way.

Tan Qian felt as if he were surrounded by stardust, and that stardust was revolving around a giant skull.

This stark contrast left Tan Qian with an impact that was difficult to express in words.

Lost in thought, Tan Qian saw a speck of stardust fly to her side; it was a ball of flame the size of a fist.

"careful!"

Seeing that Tan Qian seemed unaware of the power of the flames, Shang Xiuning hurriedly said, "This fire is no ordinary fire. Even a Golden Core cultivator would be burned to ashes if touched by it and would be unable to escape."

Tan Qian felt a chill run down her spine.

She was no longer an outsider to cultivation; she knew the power of the Golden Core. Compared to the Golden Core, a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her was like an ant.

Even those with golden cores cannot be touched by this flame, let alone her.

Tan Qian hurriedly dodged backward, fearing that she would be touched by the flames.

Shang Xiuning smiled and said, "Sister, there's no need to be afraid. These flames are quite stable, and they rotate around the skull with a very consistent trajectory. As long as you pay attention and don't touch them, there won't be any danger."

"Our people are just ahead, let's go."
