Chapter 181 Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood

Seeing his reliable disciple off as he departed.

Wang Yu also began to ponder that Guiling City was indeed still more suitable for a Core Formation City Lord to oversee. Although he had some capability, he was still somewhat lacking.

He could handle matters within the Inner City, but Outside the City… even a Fortuitous Encounter Within Reach, he couldn't firmly grasp it. This was a matter of Strength.

If he were powerful enough, the Guan Family's Fortuitous Encounter would be his, because the Guan Family couldn't hold onto it.

In a short time, the only way to give him the Strength to directly contend with Core Formation Cultivators was the Corpse Refinement Technique. The Living Corpse he possessed was at the Late Core Formation Stage.

If there was a Method to utilize it, even if his Means were not perfect, refining an Evil Corpse at the Third Tier Early Stage would not be a problem. As for Armored Corpse… that Old Man clearly hadn't Cultivation Practiced any Body Refinement Method.

Wrong specialization. Evil Corpses had many Means, and might not necessarily be inferior to Armored Corpses. Moreover, a Third Tier Evil Corpse corresponded to a Flying Zombie, capable of absorbing blood from a distance, making it more functional.

He glanced at the Storage Slot.

Now replacing the Ice Spirit Pill recipe was the "Ancient Soul Art". With this Cultivation Method + automatic absorption of Lunar Moonlight Essence, and later the continuous tempering of his explosively growing Divine Sense Power by "Evil Soul Devouring Body".

Wang Yu's power level in Divine Sense was increasingly approaching Peak Foundation Establishment Stage.

If he could reach Perfection in Ancient Soul Art Cultivation, allowing his Divine Soul to produce [Ancient Soul] Properties, he might be able to possess Core Formation Stage Divine Sense Power ahead of time. Combined with seven or eight Soul Path Combat Methods.

He might have a chance to contend with Early Core Formation Stage, but the possibility of Slaughter was not high. Now that he was wealthy, he had many Means to choose from.

There was more than one Direction to increase Combat Strength.

Still plenty to play with~

"Right, I forgot to ask about Treasures helpful for Breakthrough to Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage."

With his dual Spirit Root Aptitude, this Checkpoint couldn't stop him, but it would still take several months or even half a year. If there were other methods for immediate Breakthrough, there was no reason not to use them.

Person Wang had plenty of Spirit Stones!

He continued to issue orders, instructing the City Lord's Mansion to search for relevant Treasures within the Inner City, and also sent people to the Golden Abundance Pavilion.

Wang Yu himself then went into the Scripture Pavilion. He wanted to investigate the characteristic Treasures of this Area.

At the same time.

Three thousand kilometers east of Guiling City, the Eastern Extremes Capital Ancient Ruins.

In the sky and on the ground, there were Dharma Carriages of Core Formation Cultivators everywhere. All kinds of traveling Magic Treasures dazzled the eye, including Spirit Boats, Palaces, pavilions, mountains of bones, Yin clouds… Treasure light scattered in all directions.

The Aura of powerful individuals could be Sensed every few steps.

Roughly estimated, there were at least a hundred Core Formation Cultivators who had arrived here, and this was only those staying outside, not counting those who had entered the Ruins.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators were even more numerous, covering the mountains and plains. You could grab anyone and they would be one.

This was mainly due to the scale of Eastern Pole Capital.

As one of the four Capitals of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, this place was definitely considered a major location. The various Residential and Commercial Complexes on the Surface alone could accommodate tens of millions of people.

And the Means of the Immortal Dynasty were naturally not that simple.

Going Underground, some people had even encountered inverted Floating Mountain Ranges, various Wang Residences occupying areas comparable to half a city, the Imperial City at the core… and so on.

Because it was difficult to judge the scale Underground.

Lacking an overview Vision, as exploration deepened day by day, the Official Residence Street discovered earliest seemed to be only a part. More and more people were obtaining Treasures and Inheritance.

Slaughter became increasingly fierce, and thus countless were buried here!

......

Underground.

A group of people were walking out from a place inscribed with [Jingzhao Demon Suppression Prison], smiles of joy on their faces. Each of them had obtained a Harvest that could be called an Ancient Treasure.

A kind of blood-red Shackles, crimson all over, reeking of blood.

According to their identification, this Treasure possessed extremely strong sealing power, not only able to seal True Essence flow, but also suppress Physical Body Strength.

The Runes branded on it also carried a wisp of space power, with the Highest effect even on Core Formation Cultivators. Its preciousness was self-evident.

"Speaking of which, these Shackles and fetters should be a set, right? Could it be that they were used by the Ancient Immortal Dynasty to imprison criminals?"

"Isn't that obvious!"

The middle-aged man at the head pointed to the plaque behind them and said, "This is a prison, ah. These things in our hands should be newly forged, placed in the Storeroom, and preserved quite well."

"Yeah, it's a pity about those Torture Instruments. Those should possess true offensive power. Sealing Treasures are still a bit lacking."

"It's good enough to have Harvest. This is a Third Tier Ancient Treasure. We haven't come to this Area much before. Thanks to the Guiling City Intelligence."

"Indeed, indeed, hahaha~"

This team from the same Sect unexpectedly did not engage in mutual deception or infighting, and even generously displayed their Harvests.

In the Demonic Path environment, this was still too strange.

This was unreal!

Moreover, on the way out, they actually didn't encounter any ancient monsters buried Underground, and smoothly walked to the Edge of the Underground Ruins.

"If we go up a little further, we'll reach the Surface. There are also more Cultivators here."

Suddenly, a Female Cultivator said something out of the blue.

"Yeah, so many people."

Someone's Eyes flashed a hint of red light, and abruptly took out the blood-reeking Shackles he had Harvested earlier, saying carelessly.

"There really are a lot of Treasures in Jingzhao Demon Suppression Prison, ah. After we go back and rest, we must get that blood-colored Sword next time."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Nearby, Cultivators who had used Concealment Technique jumped away one after another. An Ambush was resolved invisibly. The Villains looked at this group of people with Astonished expressions.

Something was wrong. This clumsy Trap was puzzling.

A Core Formation Cultivator coldly snorted, "What do you want to do?"

The team took out more and more blood-reeking Shackles, and their bodies also began to glow with wisps of blood light. Their Eyes were blood-red, their pupils gone, and unclear Liquid dripped from the corners of their mouths.

In an instant, astonishing Killing Intent and Blood Fiend Qi soared into the sky.

This group, mainly Foundation Establishment, led by only one Core Formation, launched an attack on the surrounding living beings.

"Madman."

"They are being Controlled by the Strange Methods in the Ruins, kill them."

"I'll do it."

A powerful Core Formation made use of Mystical Power, summoning a Thunder Sword flashing with electric light, sweeping away a large number of Foundation Establishment Mad Demons like cutting melons and vegetables.

Then he sealed the throat of the irrational Core Formation with a single Sword.

His Strength was clearly at Late Core Formation Stage, while his opponent had lost his mind and failed to use Magic Treasures or Mystical Powers, and was easily killed.

The Cultivator wielding the Thunder Sword casually picked up several Storage Pouches, disdainfully saying.

"Ants are just ants, easier to kill when they're crazy."

Having said that, he unconsciously snatched the blood-reeking Shackles from a Corpse's hand, and put them around his own neck. This action shocked the surrounding people, who retreated in succession.

"Senior Guilei…"

"What?"

He took off the Shackles again, seemingly unaffected. The onlookers were silent for a moment, and seeing that the other party was indeed fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They then used Acquisition Technique one after another, taking away the blood-reeking Shackles and the Corpse from a distance, and quickly disappeared.

This behavior of snatching Spoils of War should have been pursued and killed by Senior Guilei, but he didn't move. Instead, he softly murmured.

"Jingzhao Demon Suppression Prison is a good place, ah. Blood-colored Sword… find more Fellow Daoists, get Treasure! Get Treasure! Get Treasure!"

......

Guiling City.

Some time had passed since Wang Yu's Seclusion Exit. He continued to pay attention to the News of Eastern Pole Capital, and at the same time, there was also News about the items he was looking for to assist Essence Condensation.

His currently Cultivated True Essence Limit was as high as more than four hundred drops. The Top-Grade Ice Spirit Pills in his body didn't even need to be completely digested to reach the Threshold of Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.

The so-called "Essence Condensation" is to condense the scattered True Essence in the Dantian Qi Sea into one, transforming it into a True Essence Spring!

In Wang Yu's body, there were currently three streams of True Essence like streams, all accumulated drop by drop.

Fusion was not difficult. The core lay in opening up the Springhead, making it truly worthy of being called a True Essence Spring. This was a bit difficult.

Once the True Essence Spring was condensed, it would spontaneously absorb Spiritual Qi from all directions of heaven and earth. Every once in a while, it would automatically produce a drop of True Essence, which could be called fully automatic Cultivation.

This efficiency was slightly inferior to that of the Cultivator himself, but it could also double his speed.

And the more outstanding the Spirit Root Aptitude, the shorter the time to cross this Minor Realm Threshold, and there were Not Few Treasures that Help with Breakthrough Bottleneck.

The Only ones that could be found near Guiling City were several kinds.

"One-Pattern Essence Condensation Pill, suitable for opening up True Essence Spring, priced at thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones. Golden Abundance Pavilion is out of stock, and it will take time to transfer over."

"Water Essence, Second-Order Spirit Item, suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to take for the first Essence Condensation, priced at twenty thousand, in stock, Effect is slightly worse."

"Gushing Spring Treasure Land, Second Stage Treasure Land, single person single use once, Entry Ticket twelve thousand, success not guaranteed, jointly Controlled by Earth Demon Valley and Locust Tree Sect."

Among the listed methods, Wang Yu preferred the first one. He was not short of money.

Essence Condensation Pills were a series.

Above them were 'Two-Pattern Essence Condensation Pill', suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to Breakthrough the Late Stage Threshold, i.e., the second Essence Condensation. In this series, they were the most sold and also quite expensive.

And 'Three-Pattern Essence Condensation Pill' could Help Breakthrough condensing [True Essence Sea]. Once Achieving this, one could be called a Half-Step Core Formation Stage, only half a step away from condensing Golden Core and giving birth to Magical Power.

However, this thing could not be used together with Golden Core Pill.

Compared with real realm-breaking Medicinal Pills, Three-Pattern Essence Condensation Pill could only act on True Essence, which was slightly mediocre, so sales were not as high as imagined.

Core Formation also required passing three Checkpoints, still the Foundation Establishment set, but the requirements were much higher. And after Golden Core was successfully condensed, one would face Lightning Tribulation.

At this time, having a Tribulation Transcending Treasure to Help would make things much smoother, and success was eighty percent likely.

Major Factions all had Formations arranged to assist in Tribulation Transcending. Frigid Blood Peak had them, and they could be rented by consuming a sum of Contribution Points. It was said that Wei Chong made his Breakthrough in this way.

Thinking about these things now was still a bit far off. Shaking his head.

Wang Yu took out the Honored Guest Token of Golden Abundance Pavilion, reported his requirements, and the Medicinal Pills would be delivered at the latest within three months. He was also taking advantage of the welfare of another Local Overlord.

Normal Honored Guest Tokens did not have this Effect.

It had to be Jin Miaoshan who had face.

On this day.

Wang Yu, who was studying the "Wind-Thunder Spirit Mark" Secret Method, looked slightly Astonished at the Demon People brought up by Ying Dong and Ying Xue. The mark belonging to Greater Yin Nether Pupil flashed in his Eyes.

Under Moon Observation Vision, there was originally the Truth-Penetrating Effect, and even the ability to see the Flame of the Soul of living beings.

What the Guan Family sisters brought was the Head of the Guan Family, whose limbs were locked in fetters, and what Wang Yu saw… was a ball of scarlet Soul Fire containing a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood!

It was like a reflection of an ancient killing field, leaving behind only endless Killing Intent and Blood Fiend Qi. This was some kind of power that could Impact the Mind.

Mind… different from Divine Sense.

Divine Sense and Divine Soul were two sides of the same coin. Increasing one side would cause the other to grow, inseparable from each other.

But the Mind was closely related to willpower. It was more inclined to the mysterious concept of Heart State, with very strong Mind-Only Attributes, and Cultivation Practice was fraught with difficulties.

And Once Dao Heart was broken, one would fall into the Abyss of eternal damnation, and the Heart Power painstakingly Cultivation Practiced would also be beaten back to its original form.

This thing, he dared not touch.

His gaze couldn't help but fall on those strange fetters.
