Chapter 46 Netherworld Soul, Poison Bee, Bone Lion 

Chapter 46 Netherworld Soul, Poison Bee, Bone Lion 

This discussion lasted nearly three months, not far off from Wang Yu's estimated time. The speed of the Bone Ship was actually faster than that of a Qi Condensation Cultivator, but after leaving the Sect, Gu Zhengshun stopped using Spirit Stones for energy.

Instead, he had many Subordinate disciples take turns operating it. Wang Yu also experienced the feeling of controlling the Bone Ship, which wasn't much different from taking a boat in his previous life, just that it was in the sky.

Having left the Sect, there was no need to put on a facade. He also felt the pain of Spirit Stone expenses and saw no need to waste them on travel.

Thus, at the end of March of the 3rd year of Wang Yu's Outer Sect Life, the group barely arrived at Mysterious Bone Mountain. Its topography was completely different from what Wang Yu had imagined.

These were three giant Heavenly Well-style high mountains, heavily sculpted by artificial means. The middle was hollow, at least several thousand meters high, and each level was designed with openwork, supported by only dozens of pillars.

Looking from afar, they resembled stone pagodas.

White Bone Wood grew between the levels, the tallest being only six meters, while the level height was about ten meters. Each Heavenly Well Mountain had about three hundred levels.

This was a planting model specially modified after renovations.

Crude Stone Houses and Wooden Huts were evenly distributed on each level. The Lower Level and the highest level had several Stone Halls, with the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's blood demon flags erected, symbolizing sovereignty.

In the middle of the three Mysterious Bone Mountains was a large camp, enough to accommodate thousands of people. The terrain had almost no vegetation, the land was barren, and there were many low mountains with exposed rocks, surrounding this area.

A faint stench of corpses permeated the air.

"Finally arrived!"

Gu Zhengshun said with some excitement.

Their group, belonging to Heavenly Corpse Peak, was still the last to arrive, even though they hadn't stopped in Ye Qiong Prefecture Main City or Maple Province Main City along the way.

The other two Factions had already chosen their Factions and were directing their subordinates to take over the Old Formation and set up the New Formation.

Of the three Mysterious Bone Mountains, the rightmost one was left.

This Heavenly Well-style cylindrical mountain had the least Mysterious Bone Wood planted, sparsely scattered and clearly not thriving. Gu Zhengshun didn't mind and immediately controlled the Bone Ship to stop at the bottom, giving orders.

"Go and count how many Mysterious Bone Woods there are. You, and you go check the Yin Gathering Formation, Soul Absorbing Formation, and Spirit Nourishing Bone Wood Formation."

"You go and set up the Formation Flags I brought, and bury corpses."

As orders were issued one after another, everyone quickly busied themselves. Although Demonic Cultivators were good at killing and arson, this was just a characteristic.

The so-called lack of production was not that they completely did not manage resource output. When there was no war with the Orthodox Path, they would also produce, just not as good at management as the Orthodox Path.

Most of these Bone Woods were First Tier Yin Wood, but there were also a few that reached Second Rank, which were of great benefit to Armored Corpses, Fiend Corpses, and Netherworld Souls.

Therefore, it was normal for Heavenly Corpse Peak and Five Yin Peak to come here.

As for Gu Poison Peak, they were here for something else.

Wang Yu did nothing, mostly just wandering around the layers of Bone Wood forests, mainly checking whether there were raised white bone buds at the top of the Bone Wood.

Some Bone Woods that reached maturity would grow Profound Essence Flowers.

They had the Effect of purifying Spirit Power and could help Qi Condensation Cultivators overcome Bottlenecks and quickly complete the second and third Spirit Refinements.

Second Rank Profound Essence Flowers were of some help for breaking through Foundation Establishment. If he could obtain a few more, passing the True Essence Barrier, one of the three barriers of Foundation Establishment, would be without any difficulty.

This was Gu Zhengshun's real reason for coming here.

Breaking through to the Late Qi Condensation Stage, even condensing Spirit Power into a semi-liquid state, ready to be transformed into True Essence at any time—five years of time, all for this!

Situ Hong's idea should be similar.

There were actually many treasures that could assist in passing the "True Essence Barrier". Upper-Grade Foundation Establishment Pills had this Effect.

Therefore, the Resources of Mysterious Bone Mountain were dispensable for True Disciples, and some Inner Sect Disciples with deep Backing also looked down on them.

For Inner Sect Disciples like Situ Hong and Gu Zhengshun who were neither high nor low, it was quite attractive.

Profound Essence Flowers bloomed once every three years. Now it was the end of December, long past the flowering period, and they would have to wait until the late spring and early summer of next year for the new flowering cycle.

Bone Woods that had flowered needed three years of accumulation to re-accumulate the foundation for flowering. Wang Yu came here to record the plants with bone buds, not without purpose.

This was to lay the foundation for future harvests.

The higher up this Mysterious Bone Tower Mountain, the colder and more Yin it became. The wind that blew seemed to have turned black. In the sparse Bone Wood forest, black shadows occasionally flashed past.

Those were actually the proper "farmers" here.

According to intelligence, these things belonged to "Earth-Bound Spirits" and had a symbiotic relationship with Bone Wood. They could protect Bone Wood within a certain range from various harms.

It was said that they were the main clan of Mysterious Bone Mountain in the earliest days. After being slaughtered by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, they were refined into "Netherworld Farmers". This was the Demonic Path's method of production.

Bloody, cruel, and inhuman!

Situ Hong of Five Yin Peak came here not only for the Profound Essence Flowers, but also for the environment here that was suitable for Netherworld Soul Cultivation. He would have his cultivated Ghost Slaves live in symbiosis with Bone Wood for five years, and their cultivation speed would be about the same as their own cultivation, mainly without spending Spirit Stones.

If they could live in symbiosis with Second Rank Bone Wood, the Effect would be far greater than ordinary cultivation investment, achieving twice the result with half the effort, and they might even master a special Spell.

As for Liu Jinxian of Gu Poison Peak, she most likely came here for a natural disaster of Mysterious Bone Mountain!

When Wang Yu reached the two hundredth level, he suddenly heard a dense buzzing sound in his ears.

Looking closely, he saw a large piece of Ganoderma-like flat honeycomb hanging on a tall Second Rank Bone Wood surrounded by Bone Wood forest.

Giant bees with gray bodies, bone patterns, and heads resembling bird skulls were swarming. This thing was one of the disasters of Mysterious Bone Mountain—the Corrosive Poison Bee Swarm!

This thing was naturally considered a Peak First Tier Exotic Insect. Once it formed a scale, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not dare to test its sharpness. It was also a natural Gu worm Ingredient.

The corrosive poison it secreted had a restraining corrosive Effect on various Spirit Metals, making it a great weapon to deal with Cultivators' Magic Artifacts. It was enough to become a trump card for Qi Condensation Cultivators, and would not be outdated even when used at Foundation Establishment.

Its practicality was very strong. Coming here for the Corrosive Poison Bee and Profound Essence Flower was definitely worth it.

While investigating, Wang Yu simply marked it and steered the Flying Magic Tool Black Silk around it, continuing upwards.

Corrosive Poison Bee Swarms fed on Bone Wood sap and loved the nectar of Profound Essence Flowers, but they were only one of the troubles of Mysterious Bone Mountain.

The second type of disaster was a Demon Beast.

Named—Fierce Bone Lion!

This Demon Beast was generally solitary and would take Second Rank Bone Wood as its territory, digging a hole to build a nest and feeding on Bone Wood. This Yin Wood could enhance their body strength and the length of the bone spurs on their backs.

It was said to be beneficial for reproduction and could attract the favor of female Fierce Bone Lions.

There were basically none in the lower levels. Above the two hundredth level, there were two or three on each level, almost all possessing Peak First Tier Power, making them very difficult to deal with.

After walking through it once.

This Mysterious Bone Mountain not only had the least Bone Wood, but also the largest number of Fierce Bone Lions entrenched there. It was a tough bone to gnaw, no wonder it was thrown to Gu Zhengshun.
