I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Yin Jiuyou had just taken a few steps back, preparing to act according to her plan, when an unusually intense surge of spiritual energy suddenly came from the direction of the blood pool!

Her heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly turned to look.

The White Bone Purifying Lotus, which had been floating quietly in the center of the blood pool and was about to mature, had vanished without a trace!

Only a blurry figure was flying at an astonishing speed into the depths of the plain!

"court death!!"

Yin Jiuyou's face instantly darkened to the point of being dripping with water, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. With a sharp shout, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and chased after the enemy without hesitation.

To have one's cooked duck stolen right under one's nose is an utter disgrace!

Seeing this, Yan Hongling and Liu Fang each had their own thoughts, but at this moment they could only follow Yin Jiuyou closely.

Yin Jiuyou, with the highest cultivation level and the fastest speed, quickly chased after the figure ahead.

However, when she saw the movement techniques and subtle aura the other party displayed as they fled, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This movement technique is ghostly and elusive, skillfully utilizing shadows and terrain, clearly bearing the shadow of the Shadow Hall's secret teachings!

Her sharp gaze immediately swept toward Liu Fang to her side and behind, carrying a silent question.

Liu Fang immediately understood; she also recognized the person. While speeding away, she secretly transmitted her thoughts, speaking at an extremely fast pace:

"Sir, this person... codenamed 'Shadow Wolf,' was ordered several years ago to disguise himself and infiltrate the Zhou family. His mission was to remain undercover for a long time."

However, during an expedition to explore ancient ruins, he saw a treasure and, without permission, stole a nearly ripe "Ten Thousand Poison Blood Dragon Fruit" before defecting and disappearing. The organization has been secretly investigating him ever since.

I never expected him to show up here again, and he even dared to steal from the adults!

"Good! Very good indeed!" Yin Jiuyou laughed in extreme anger, his voice icy and chilling.

"A traitor dares to act so arrogantly in front of me! Give him all your strength! Kill him or die, but you must get it back!"

……

Ahead, Lin Che pushed his speed to the limit, feeling quite satisfied.

Unlike the previously encountered Blood Dragon Vine, which has strict requirements for its growing environment.

The cultivation conditions for this White Bone Pure Lotus are much easier to achieve.

Wherever there is abundant and strong malevolent energy, that is its best fertile ground.

With the "Soldier's Lair Plain" environment, which Qingxuan Realm Spirit has just replicated, it will be no difficult task to cultivate this lotus in large quantities in the secret realm in the future.

That's why he decisively uprooted it and took the whole plant away.

Fortunately, this spiritual lotus was not rooted in the soil, but floated above the pool of evil energy and blood. It could be easily captured by simply enveloping it with divine sense, which was extremely convenient.

Once this thing is cultivated to a certain scale, it will definitely be a mobile treasure trove for the Lin family!

Its lotus petals are the main ingredient for refining the "Purifying Pill," which can help cultivators maintain a clear mind when breaking through bottlenecks and fighting against inner demons, making it priceless.

Lotus seeds possess a unique purifying power and can be used to temper magical artifacts, removing impurities and resentment from them.

Not only can it improve quality, but it can even "reform" some captured demonic artifacts with evil attributes, turning them into "pure treasures" that righteous cultivators can also wield, which has great strategic significance.

Its roots and stems resemble rows of white bones, and are harder than iron, making them excellent materials for refining weapons or setting up formations.

Lotus root, which is most easily overlooked, can be used to make a medicinal decoction. Soaking the body in this decoction can cleanse the muscles and bones and dispel the hidden evil energy and injuries that have accumulated in the body due to long-term fighting and killing.

The effects on body-refining cultivators and clansmen who frequently engage in combat are self-evident.

This White Bone Pure Lotus is a treasure from head to toe, with every part having endless uses.

The people who had been fighting over it earlier clearly did not fully understand its full effects, otherwise they would not have been so "restrained" in their probing.

They'd probably be fighting to the death long ago.

This is the advantage that comes from having a knowledge base.

Despite his racing thoughts, Lin Che's feet never stopped moving.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to strike first, and the distance he had already maintained from Yin Jiuyou and the others, he quickly shook off the pursuers from his sight and the range of his divine sense.

Lin Che immediately activated "Absolute Concealment," and his figure and aura vanished completely from this world in an instant, as if he had never existed.

At the same time, he quickly changed his appearance, disguising himself as the unremarkable metal-attribute rogue cultivator "Han Li" that he had used before.

Lin Che remained hidden for a short distance, until he was sure he had completely shaken off the pursuers and that the surroundings were safe, before dispelling his concealment.

Han Li's figure was revealed, and then he walked unhurriedly in another direction, as if he were just an ordinary rogue cultivator searching for opportunities.

For the next period of time, Lin Che continued to move around on this vast plain of corpses, posing as Han Li.

He summoned the Illusionary Crystal Seeker Beast again, relying on its treasure-hunting abilities to search for any spiritual objects that might have been overlooked.

At the same time, he was also secretly keeping an eye out for the whereabouts of the spirit beast "Broken Tooth," which was suspected to be a second-tier high-grade, metal-attribute beast.

Lin Che would deal with any stray puppet beasts he encountered along the way, collecting the special materials they dropped.

Of course, his main purpose was to wait.

Waiting for the Azure Profound Realm Spirit to complete the full replication of the malevolent environment of the "Soldier's Lair Plain".

Five hours later, the spirit of the realm transmitted a thought: "Master, the environmental rules here have been replicated and can now be stably generated in the corresponding area of ​​the secret realm."

Lin Che's spirits lifted, and his gaze fell upon the majestic mountain peak at the edge of the plain, which was clearly visible even from a distance and exuded an invisible sharpness—Sword Tomb Mountain!

After searching for so long in the area surrounding the plains, no trace of the "Broken Tooth" spirit beast has been found.

Lin Che speculated that it likely originated from Sword Tomb Mountain, the core of that secret realm, or that its activity range was near the foot of the mountain.

Since that's the case, there's no need to hesitate any longer.

Target: Sword Tomb Mountain!

……

When Lin Che arrived at the foot of Sword Tomb Mountain, a considerable number of cultivators had already gathered there.

The independent cultivators may not have detailed information, but they are not stupid. This mountain, located in the center of the secret realm, is the most magnificent and faintly emits the sounds of metal clashing and sword intent humming.

Anyone who sees it will know that it is the core area, the place where opportunities lie.

However, no one went up the mountain at that moment.

At the foot of the mountain, the cultivators gathered in small groups, some sitting cross-legged and meditating, their faces solemn as they tried something.

Some gathered together, frowning and whispering, pointing and whispering;

Others looked at the steep mountainside, their faces showing reluctance, and hesitated to move forward.

Lin Che knew why they were stuck. Ignoring the various gazes around him, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and strode off towards the steep mountain path.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, dressed in a blue robe, who had arrived earlier, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Che's actions.

He nudged his companion with his elbow and chuckled with a tone of amusement:

"Hey, another stubborn fool! I bet ten spirit stones this guy won't last ten breaths before he's tumbling down, covered in dust!"

His companion, a man with a full beard, grinned and spoke in a rough voice:

"Ten breaths? Old Li, you're giving him too much credit! In my opinion, five breaths at most! That feeling... hehe, not everyone can withstand it."

Their conversation attracted the attention of others nearby, and several pairs of eyes fell on Lin Che's back with great interest.

"Another one trying to force his way in. I hope he doesn't burst into tears later," a female cultivator with a cold expression said calmly.

"Heh, if it were that easy to get up there, would we be standing here watching? Do you really think Sword Tomb Mountain is your own backyard?" another person chimed in sarcastically.

Whispers arose softly, mostly tinged with mockery and schadenfreude.

However, what happened next made those who were waiting to see the joke widen their eyes, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Once the figure stepped onto the stone steps, its steps did not falter at all!

One step, two steps... one zhang, five zhang, ten zhang... In the blink of an eye, it had climbed more than twenty zhang.

Although his speed wasn't particularly fast, it was astonishingly stable, as if the invisible pressure exerted on all climbers simply didn't exist for him!

"This...how is this possible?!" The blue-robed cultivator who had made the bet earlier exclaimed in shock, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Where's that damn gravity? How come he seems completely unaffected?!"

"What the hell! Does he have some special magic weapon that can counteract gravity?" The bearded man also looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Just wait! It's easy now, but the higher you go, the more terrifying the gravity becomes, and there's that deadly gale... He'll regret it soon!" someone retorted defiantly, though their tone was no longer as confident as before.

……

On the mountain path, Lin Che ignored the discussions behind him, his breathing steady and his steps firm as he climbed upwards.

That's right, the first hurdle to climbing Sword Tomb Mountain is the terrifying gravity that is everywhere and increases with altitude!

An invisible force pressed in from all directions, as if to flatten and crush the person.

The higher you go, the stronger the gravity becomes.

He estimated that for every ten feet of elevation gain, gravity would increase by about half a percent.

Under such immense pressure, ordinary flying techniques were impossible to perform, and even jumping became difficult.

One can only rely on the cultivator's own physical strength, spiritual cultivation, and unwavering will to climb upwards step by step.

The cultivators gathered at the foot of the mountain were mostly waiting, except for some who were trying to adapt and find ways to break through.

We waited for the "fierce wind" that swept down from the mountaintop every three hours to pass.

Moving under the pressure of gravity is already difficult; if one is then hit head-on by that fierce gale, the danger level will skyrocket.

They were probably planning to take advantage of the lull in the strong winds to quickly advance as far as possible.

But Lin Che was pressed for time; he not only had to climb Sword Tomb Mountain, but also search for traces of metal-attribute spirit beasts.

At the same time, the Qingxuan Secret Realm also needs to replicate the special environment of this place, so it is impossible to waste time waiting idly at the foot of the mountain.

"Xiao Xuan," he communicated in his mind as he steadily ascended.

"Begin analyzing and replicating the gravity environment rules here, as well as the special 'sword intent' and 'metal' field emanating from this mountain itself."

"Yes, Master."

The Azure Profound Realm Spirit, which was hidden in a concealed state beside him, immediately responded.

In those azure eyes, a faint, data-like light flickered once more, as they began to capture and deconstruct the unique environmental laws of Sword Mound Mountain.
