To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Chapter 209 Ancient Battlefield

The group slowly made their way toward the location of the fairy boat.

It wasn't that Gu Fan didn't want to speed up, but rather that the environment of the Fallen Soul Abyss was too cruel. Once he flew in the air, not only would the evil energy be extremely dense, but he would also become a target, attracting evil spirits from all directions to besiege him.

Left with no other choice, the group had to fly close to the ground, avoiding the volcanoes that were spewing malevolent energy.

The group fought off the invading evil spirits from time to time, which depleted their magical power. After flying for half a day, they finally found a suitable place to rest.

Gu Fan planted array flags around the area, creating a four-sided barrier that isolated everyone from the malevolent energy, instantly clearing their vision and hearing.

Wu Chengdao smiled and exclaimed, "It's so comfortable working with Fellow Daoist Gu."

Gu Fan smiled slightly, swallowed a pill to replenish his mana, and closed his eyes to digest it.

A moment later, Gu Fan opened his eyes again, puzzled.

After the malevolent energy was shut out, he noticed something unusual.

"A murderous aura?" Gu Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

After cultivating the "True Technique of Pulling the Machine" to the first level, the amount of killing energy required increased dramatically. He had not been able to find a suitable place to gather this energy, but at this moment he sensed a rather strong killing energy.

After opening his eyes, Gu Fan took out a jade bottle and used the Qi-gathering technique.

Wisps of crimson aura condensed from the air and fell into the jade bottle, filling it up in no time.

Seeing Gu Fan's actions, Wu Chengdao asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, are you absorbing Qi?"

Gu Fan nodded and explained, "I once practiced a secret technique that required this kind of spiritual energy, but I had been unable to find it for a long time. I never expected to find it here."

Wu Chengdao immediately understood.

Afterwards, while everyone rested, Gu Fan took out the jade bottle to absorb the energy. After several times, he had accumulated three large bottles. Moreover, Gu Fan discovered that the further he went, the stronger the killing energy became.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan asked, "Fellow Martial Artist, is there any special area nearby?"

Wu Chengdao recalled for a moment, looked around, and nodded, saying, "That's right. If we go any further, we'll enter the core area of ​​the Fallen Soul Abyss, which is also known as the Ancient Battlefield."

"Ancient battlefield?"

Wu Chengdao explained, "This battlefield has existed since ancient times, seemingly caused by the battles between cultivators on the immortal ship. This is also the origin of the evil corpses and ancient corpses."

"Sometimes, when the evil corpses riot, they lead countless evil spirits to form a wave and try to rush to the ground. The cultivators of the three kingdoms will intercept them. In Wei, our Hundred Refinement Sect is in charge of this matter. In Yan, the exit within the territory is handled by the Silent Annihilation Sect. Only the exit of Wu is the most special. It is surrounded by the Yin Corpse Sect as their sect's base and they use evil energy to refine corpses."

"If you encounter demonic cultivators from other sects, that's fine. But if you encounter disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect, be very careful. This place is quite advantageous to them, and they even have some methods to control the fiendish corpses."

Everyone who heard this felt a chill run down their spines.

Along the way, the evil spirits have been extremely troublesome. Although each evil spirit is not very strong, their number is endless. If the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect can control the evil corpses of a higher level, the advantage they will gain will be too great.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Wu Chengdao laughed loudly and said, "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry too much. The cultivators of the Yin Corpse Sect have all their skills in the Yin Corpses they raise. They are not strong themselves. As long as we avoid the Yin Corpses and go straight to the heart of the matter, the Yin Corpses will be much easier to deal with since they are not being controlled."

Then, Wu Chengdao introduced the characteristics of the Yin Corpse Sect disciples.

The term "Yin Corpse" is a general term that can be divided into four grades, from low to high: black, white, silver, and gold, which correspond to the four levels of Qi Refining to Nascent Soul.

Even the lowest-grade black corpse has a body harder than ordinary iron, and is difficult to be injured by swords and blades. It is somewhat similar to the Dharma body of the Hundred Refinements Sect. However, the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect do not need to endure the pain of body tempering. They only need to cultivate and refine the Yin Corpse.

At this point, Wu Chengdao looked disdainful, believing that the Yin Corpse Sect were all cowards who couldn't even endure the hardships of body cultivation.

"The Yin Corpse Sect's techniques sound like a shortcut to a higher level of spiritual power," Gu Fan thought.

Just then, Chang Yuan, who was wrapped around the wrist, transmitted his voice: "Boy, don't underestimate the methods of this Yin Corpse. In some realms, they are considered legitimate and orthodox."

"Please enlighten me, senior." Gu Fan asked respectfully.

There was no way around it; the two of them often bickered, but when they encountered something they didn't understand, Gu Fan had to say something conciliatory before Chang Yuan would speak up.

Chang Yuan snorted and explained, "The key to raising corpses is not the physique, but rather that since corpses have no consciousness, they can accommodate more miscellaneous things, thereby creating top-quality Yin Corpses."

"Once your cultivation level is high enough, you can use your primordial spirit to possess the Yin Corpse, just like taking over its body, and from then on you will have no weaknesses."

"Legend has it that some have even attained immortality through this method!"

"Then how should we deal with it?" Gu Fan asked.

Chang Yuan paused for a moment, as if pondering, and then continued, "According to that kid, the methods of raising corpses in this world are either misguided or incomplete in their inheritance. Otherwise, there would be even more methods for raising Yin corpses."

"But as long as it hasn't merged with the Yin Corpse, besides attacking the Master, you can also try to disrupt the connection between the two."

As for how to break the connection between the Master and the Yin Corpse, Changyuan said no more.

As for how to break the connection between the Master and the Yin Corpse, Changyuan said no more.

Gu Fan felt a slight itch in his heart, so he buried his head in thought.

Two hours later, the group finally set foot on the ancient battlefield.

Looking around, there were many broken weapons stuck in the ground, and the ground was a mixture of dark red and pale white.

Gu Fan looked down and found a few bones that had not yet completely weathered away; he could easily break them into fragments with a tap of his toe.

The ghastly white ground was formed from weathered bones!

Li Fengyi picked up a broken spearhead, examined it for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise, "This is actually forged from Xuanhuang Iron!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan also picked up a piece of weapon and, after examining it, confirmed Li Fengyi's statement.

Xuanhuang Iron is a material suitable for forging magical artifacts, containing strange patterns that are easy to identify.

"Based on this assumption, the owners of these weapons were likely Golden Core cultivators. Then what about these skeletons..." Gu Fan was shaken.

Even a powerful sect like Lingxiao has only a dozen or so Golden Core cultivators, yet they are everywhere on this ancient battlefield.

With a gentle squeeze, the weapon in his hand snapped in two.

Gu Fan shook his head and said, "It has lost all its spiritual energy for who knows how long, and it is even inferior to ordinary weapons."

Li Fengyi looked regretfully at the weapons standing like a thicket of bushes and casually tossed the spearhead aside.

The spearhead struck another weapon with a dull thud, and then both broke off.

The muffled sound seemed to have triggered a mechanism. In the next instant, a dense aura of malevolence suddenly emanated from the surroundings, and a withered arm abruptly emerged from under the white sand.

"Be careful, it's a Fiend Corpse!" Wu Chengdao warned.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wu Chengdao drew his halberd and unleashed a slash.

At this moment, the demonic corpse had already emerged halfway out of its body and was immediately cleaved away. Unexpectedly, it only left a shallow cut on its chest and stood up nimbly after landing.

Then, the corpse raised its head, and a muffled sound came from its already shrunken chest. Suddenly, countless evil spirits fell from the clouds, forming a storm.

At the same time, a rustling sound came from the ground, and three more demonic corpses emerged from underground, surrounding the group.

When Wu Chengdao saw the other three evil corpses, his expression immediately changed.

"No, these are white corpses, and there are bastards from the Yin Corpse Sect nearby!"

Upon closer inspection, Gu Fan indeed saw that each of the demonic corpses had a white mark on its forehead. If the mark turned silver-white, it could become a higher-level silver corpse.

The next instant, he released his powerful divine sense and indeed found several figures hiding in the shadows on the distant mountain peak.

Gu Fan was about to speak when the evil spirit storm was already upon him.

With a thought, Gu Fan pointed his fingers like a sword, a silver flame leaping from his fingertips. He swung the finger towards the storm, and the silver flame flew out, landing on a demon spirit and instantly igniting it.

Then the silver flames rose higher and higher, instantly igniting the entire evil spirit storm.

The Six Jia Divine Fire is specifically designed to subdue evil and malevolent forces!
