Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Inside the main hall of the tomb, Wang Quan returned from the third floor.

Instead of going to the fourth floor to investigate, he calculated his income and expenses.

Then he felt that the input and output were not proportional.

After a slight hesitation, he asked the Yin spirit who was mending his thigh, "Senior brother, I feel that the benefits of the first three levels are not very high. How about the benefits of the later levels?"

The Yin spirit paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "From the fifth to the tenth floor, if there is no loss each time you enter, then the lower the floor, the greater the benefit."

"Especially the tenth floor: killing a general once can yield around ten million coins."

Wang Quan pondered, "What if I get injured..."

The spirit laughed and said, "If you're missing an arm or a leg like me, you might as well sell resources outside or collect regular resources to make money."

Wang Quan looked around and fell silent when he saw many spirits missing limbs.

It's obvious that injuries are commonplace in this area; those who don't get injured are extremely rare.

"Either stay in the first five levels, or cultivate your mana to a thousand strands, close to Foundation Establishment, so you won't get injured!"

Just then, the tenth gate twisted, and more than a dozen Yin spirits appeared at the entrance, along with a cultivator covered in blood.

All the Yin spirits present looked over, and then their expressions turned ugly.

Because the team that returned was the same one that led the charge into the tenth floor.

Now, more than a dozen Yin spirits are incomplete, the most severely injured of which only has a head left.

The cultivator who brought his true form in was also torn open, revealing his bare bones, looking utterly wretched.

The surrounding Taoist scriptures shone brightly, and billowing black smoke rose from the bodies of many Yin spirits.

The cultivator who descended in his true form formed hand seals and chanted scriptures, while billowing black smoke also emanated from his body.

Wang Quan sighed, "Such a strong team, how could they be so disheveled?"

The Yin God remained silent for a moment, then said, "There are fewer and fewer cultivators willing to come here to clean up this great tomb these days!"

"Otherwise, if a dozen or so Yin Spirit experts had come to help, this team wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"

Wang Quan nodded: "The main problem is that it doesn't make money."

"If it's profitable, more and more cultivators will be willing to come."

The spirit shook its head: "It's not a matter of making money or not."

"It's because there are fewer cultivators who have mastered the Taoist scriptures."

"Initially, people didn't really like coming to the second layer of the world; with the number of cultivators decreasing, even fewer people are coming."

"Furthermore, with the departure of veteran cultivators from the lower academy and the lack of new powerful cultivators to replenish the ranks, this place will be completely abandoned in another hundred or two hundred years."

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat: "If they're all abandoned, won't it affect the real world?"

The Yin spirit laughed: "It won't affect the real world; however, it will reduce the safety zone and foothold for cultivators from other places entering the second level, and increase their danger!"

Wang Quan seemed to be deep in thought.

According to the pamphlet, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in this second layer of the world, only the Drowning Lower Temple is a place where cultivators gather and engage in activities.

The areas corresponding to the scripture pavilion and the coffin dormitory are the safe zones.

Cultivators who have traveled from afar can rest, replenish resources, and even leave their coordinates in these two places.

When you enter the second layer of the world again, you can have the Yin Spirit appear here directly, and then continue your journey.

These two places can only exist because of the constant maintenance by the Yin God cultivators.

If no more Yin Spirit cultivators enter in the future, the light in these two places will also disappear.

At that time, the external Yin spirits and powerful cultivators will have nowhere to stay.

It doesn't sound like it will have a big impact.

However, in the second layer of the world, it is precisely the existence of one node after another, such as the drowning of the lower house, that forms the foundation.

Without the existence of basic nodes, the activity range of Yin God cultivators in the second layer of the world would be greatly reduced.

This will inevitably lead to a series of consequences.

"I read in the pamphlet that besides repeatedly killing evil, there is another method: to permanently cleanse evil using the 'Scripture of Salvation'."

"Why don't people use the [Scripture of Salvation]? Is it because they're afraid of completely purging evil and then not being able to obtain the materials?"

The spirit was stunned, its expression strange: "You actually know about the [Scripture of Salvation]?"

Wang Quan nodded: "It's written in the booklet..."

At this point, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The Yin spirit said with envy, jealousy, and hatred, "It is said that only cultivators who have mastered ten thousand volumes of Daoist scriptures have the opportunity to decipher the [Scripture of Salvation]."

"However, the chance is extremely small, one in a thousand? Or one in ten thousand?"

"I've been in this lower temple for over ten years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a cultivator who possesses the [Scripture of Salvation]."

"Brother, you've struck it rich!"

Royal power...silence.

Only then did he realize that the reason he was able to decipher the "Scripture of Salvation" from the booklet was probably related to the "First-Rank Daoist Seal".

"Unexpectedly, the booklets for newcomers are just like magic spells and fundamental teachings: because the number of Taoist scriptures they have mastered is different, the content they see is also different."

At this moment, all the other Yin spirits, including the cultivator whose true form had descended, gathered around.

The cultivator who had descended in his true form bowed and asked excitedly, "Brother Daoist, do you know the [Scripture of Saving People]?"

Wang Quan nodded.

Everyone definitely heard what he said, so there's no point in denying it.

At this moment, he also realized that the "Scripture of Saving People" might be very valuable.

"Fellow practitioners, if you also wish to learn the [Sutra of Saving People], I can tell you."

Many cultivators shook their heads frantically: "Please don't let this harm us."

"If we cannot decipher the [Scripture of Salvation], it means we have no affinity with this scripture."

"If you tell us that we used it, we'll probably die a violent death in the future."

This is the same as the fundamental law; if you can analyze it, you can use it; if you can't analyze it, you can't use it.

Wang Quan nodded.

At this moment, the cultivator who had descended in his true form chuckled, "Brother, it is said that the [Scripture of Salvation] can permanently cleanse evil. Is that true?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "This scripture requires a hundred streams of magical power to use the first time, and I haven't used it yet."

The many Yin spirits exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, why don't we go and test its power together?"

Wang Quan nodded upon seeing this: "Alright!"

"Let's go to the first floor!"

The cultivators nodded: "Let's go!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, all the Yin spirits, whether whole or missing limbs, or even just a head, surged into the first gate with Wang Quan.

After the Yin spirits entered the first level, new Yin spirits entered the hall.

The newly arrived Yin Spirit cultivator felt a chill run down his spine when he saw that there wasn't a single companion in the hall.

He retreated from the tomb, crying out in terror, "Disaster! Disaster!"

"A terrifying event has occurred at the great tomb!"

"Everyone inside is dead."

What?

The group of Yin spirits on the periphery were dumbfounded and astonished.

"impossible!"

"Hundreds of powerful Yin Spirits reside inside. They've been fighting in the tomb for years, how could they possibly be dead?"

A sinister spirit sneered, "I came out from inside just a short while ago, and there were still many people there. How could they suddenly disappear?"

He didn't believe it and went straight into the tomb.

He came out a few seconds later, panicked: "It's really gone!"

"There's no one left!"

Many of the spirits did not believe it, and then they agreed to step into the hall together.

Upon entering, they were horrified to discover that in the main hall of the suppressed tomb, only the Taoist scriptures on the walls emitted light; all the people from before had vanished.

Several hundred Yin God experts, as well as a powerful being who had descended in his true form, vanished silently at the same time.

At this moment, all the cultivators were terrified.
