Chapter 245 Departing for the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins!
Chapter 245 Departing for the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins!
Long Yiran is still, truly DAMN generous!
A short while later.
Seeing Wang Yu still immersed in the contents of the Earth Mother Scripture, Long Yiran couldn't help but remind him aloud.
"Brother Wang, you can slowly delve into it when you have time. The Earth Mother Scripture is not an ability that can be mastered in a short time. Some Cultivators spend their entire lives studying it, yet still find it difficult to fully understand."
"Indeed, but how is Array Master Long's comprehension of the methods within?"
"I've gained some understanding."
Her foundation was well-laid, and with the Inheritance completed, this past year of quiet contemplation was actually spent increasing the upper limit of her various abilities.
Next, the two began to divide the Spirit Medicine.
The most important were those Third-Order Spirit Items, among which were one or two that were helpful for Long Yiran's Core Formation. Her Inheritance seemed to have a matching Golden Core Pill Elixir Formula.
Through friendly negotiation, they were distributed according to need.
It was just right, six plants each. The Tier 3 Poisonous Plants Wang Yu received were mostly usable in medicine. Among them, one was coincidentally one of the Materials for the [Exquisite Inner Pill], named 〈Turbid Qi Root〉!
Just from the name, one could tell it was a Treasure of the same type as the Golden Qi Root, but its main efficacy was defilement, even more vicious than Divine Sense Poison.
If ordinary Cultivators were to carelessly consume it, their Meridians would become congested, their Physical Body defiled, their Soul weakened and Divine Sense feeble, greatly damaging their Potential and Aptitude.
This thing would be one of the three Qi Root main Materials for the Exquisite Inner Pill. Even he couldn't fathom it, unable to see through the pharmacology behind this Elixir Formula.
Besides this.
The remaining five plants were all ordinary Goods. Because they were poisonous, finding the right buyer would fetch a higher price. If sold to a Chamber of Commerce like Heavenly Treasure Pavilion or Golden Abundance Pavilion.
Twenty-odd ten thousand Spirit Stones per plant would be the limit, not very worthwhile.
After sweeping the Underground Medicine Garden clean, Wang Yu spoke to Long Yiran about the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins, mainly the Clues he possessed.
Among them, the inverted "mountain" shaped landmark element caused Long Yiran to be quite moved. She said.
"Brother Wang, what you described is indeed a Formation, derived from Earthly Formation, transformed by a Feng Shui Master expert into a Human Formation, the [Nether Tiger Prison Suppression Formation]!"
Wang Yu frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
She explained: "[Mountain] in Feng Shui Strange Art, often represents the meaning of suppression and sealing. An inverted mountain, is to suppress while locking everything within the Formation.
"It's like a wedge at one end of an iron chain, nailing it to the Earth, like a prison that is difficult to leave."
Wang Yu immediately understood: "Then what about Nether Tiger?"
"Tigers are the rulers of mountains, an inverted mountain is a Nether Tiger. The Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Inherited the Soul Path, this Formation should be set up to lock down and capture various Yin Souls and Vicious Spirits."
Soul Path, while said to be Cultivation of the Divine Soul, is actually the Power of Divine Sense.
Soul and Divine Sense are inseparable, yet different. The latter is like the former's hands and feet, through training, one can increase strength, and at the same time make oneself stronger.
It is a relationship of mutual prosperity and mutual loss. Therefore, no matter which of the two is enhanced, it can drive the other to grow synchronously.
In ancient times, the Demonic Path flourished. Since the Sky Soul Sect was established in Red Kite Region, it was a member of the Demon Sect, absorbing the power of Yin Souls and Vicious Spirits to increase itself, considered a common usage in Demonic Art.
However, this kind of behavior easily defiles one's own Divine Soul, making it difficult to achieve Nascent Soul Formation in the future.
Wang Yu could understand the profundity within.
The Ancient Soul Art is the method to solve the problem. Cultivating the Ancient Soul can block all those impurities and chaotic willpower and Memory outside.
The person who created this Cultivation Method was truly a genius.
After resolving his doubts, Wang Yu asked the key question.
"How do we find it?"
"Brother Wang, rest assured, since there is such an obvious Formation, we can find the Yin Veins. Let's go out first, you'll understand in a moment."
"Alright."
After using the Purple Dragon Earth Travel Art, without anyone else's obstruction, Wang Yu was almost unimpeded Underground, easily passing through to the Surface.
Long Yiran's Means were extremely befitting of her Identity as a Formation Master, holding a small triangular flag, with a gentle wave, the mud, soil, and gravel would move aside.
After she passed through, it would Return to its original state.
No trace of anyone having passed through could be seen, not even True Essence aura was left behind. This was something the Earth Evasion Technique could not achieve.
"Impressive."
Wang Yu's exclamation brought Array Master Long's explanation.
"This is the Earth Mother Breath Soil Flag, it will also become my Natal Magic Treasure in the future. It's a pity my Cultivation Level is insufficient, and I also lack a rare Spirit Material, so it's not yet complete."
The other party's Character of saying whatever was on her mind, without any concealment, truly made Wang Yu admire her, like a piece of shining gold, everyone likes it.
Especially when it was something he couldn't do, he admired it even more.
They Smoothly Returned to the Surface.
Unsurprisingly, the two were no longer at the "White Snake Hollow" location, but had instead arrived in a dense forest.
Only after going to the Highest terrain nearby, and then flying to the treetops to Study the Terrain did they confirm that they had deviated from the Depression by about three hundred miles, moving quite a bit to the north.
Golden Rings lit up in Long Yiran's eyes, precisely the actual manifestation of the [Energy Observation Golden Eyes] Secret Method. This Secret Method could penetrate the Earth, directly viewing the flow of Earth Qi.
In Feng Shui Strange Art, Earth Qi is a very crucial aspect.
Places where Earth Qi is Dense often represent the existence of Earth Veins. Following the Direction of their flow, and locking onto the source, one can often discover natural Formations.
Similarly, Spirit Veins, Five Elements Veins, Dragon Veins, etc., that have mutated from Earth Veins can all be Locked On through Energy Observation Golden Eyes. This Secret Method is also Top-Tier in Feng Shui Master Inheritances.
The only drawback is that it cannot see too far.
"The Nether Tiger Prison Suppression Formation, is a man-made reversed Yin Formation, very likely filled with various Shadow Veins, which will naturally gather Ghost Creatures.
"There is a place in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest called [Nether Ghost Mountain], why don't we go there to look first."
"Sure."
Wang Yu Naturally nodded.
Searching like a headless fly, even suspecting the White Snake Hollow wasn't the real place.
That Divine Sense Poison with surrounding Wind belt, might be arranged by the Snake Abode owner, or it might be a coincidence. Following a professional, the Probability of finding it is much higher.
But he also had doubts.
"Nether Ghost Mountain is considered a relatively famous Exploration location within the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, hasn't any powerful Earth Array Master come to see it?"
Hearing This, Long Yiran smiled proudly.
"The Earth Mother Scripture is Not Really a simple Feng Shui Strange Art. What I can discover, other Feng Shui Masters may not be able to discover. Just the Top-Tier Qi Observation Secret Method is not something ordinary people can possess.
"Moreover, the [Dragon Restraining Vein Fixing Chapter] is the Essence of the Earth Mother Scripture, Brother Wang—"
"Hm?"
Long Yiran, who was just smiling, suddenly became serious. She said, "The first three chapters of the Earth Mother Scripture are still within common sense, but the Secret Method in this fourth chapter, unless absolutely necessary, must never be used."
"Why?"
"It is too damaging to Heaven and Earth, easily incurring Heavenly Retribution."
The term Heavenly Retribution was first used by Ancient Cultivators who couldn't stand to see Demonic Cultivators slaughtering living beings. Facts have proven that slaughtering one's own kind or Monster Beasts will not incur any Heavenly Retribution.
Only Damage to the fundamental essence of Heaven and Earth will truly incur Heavenly Retribution.
At That Time, Lightning Tribulation will become Heavenly Retribution Blood Lightning, its Power is dozens of times greater than others, touching it means certain death, there are currently no known survivors.
If the Timing for Lightning Tribulation has not yet arrived, and one is still living well, over time, Heavenly Retribution will Continuously Accumulate power. Reaching a certain point, natural disasters will Descent.
Earthquakes, mountain collapses… even meteorites falling from the sky, one might even be struck by lightning just by going out.
If one still does not die, Heavenly Retribution will Accumulate to the critical point.
A person will be unlucky to the Extremes, various natural and Human Calamities will come one after another, even drinking water will cause choking to death.
Wang Yu knew so Detailedly because he had read Classic Texts of this kind in the [Narrative Pavilion]. At that time, he treated it all as entertainment and jokes, not taking it too seriously.
After all, to incur Heavenly Retribution, one must also have that Capability.
Unexpectedly, at just the Foundation Establishment Stage, he already possessed this kind of self-destructive weapon that invites disaster.
Damaging the fundamental essence of Heaven and Earth, this is not a simple matter.
To put it on a grand scale, even if one were to slaughter all living beings in two regions and sink the continent, this kind of physical destruction would have No Impact.
To put it on a small scale, destroying a Dragon Vein nurtured by the Earth would bring Heavenly Retribution.
Smart people can't help but ask, if the continent is sunk, wouldn't the Dragon Veins also be destroyed?
Actually, no.
Regardless of Earth Veins, Dragon Veins, Five Elements Veins, Yin Veins… these are essentially a kind of Qi of Heaven and Earth. Although they have form, they have no Substance. It is extremely difficult for Cultivators to destroy them.
At most, they can only use Secret Methods to restrain them, and forcibly relocate their Slots. Among the many "Veins", Only destroying a Dragon Vein will incur Heavenly Retribution, the others are completely inconsequential.
From this, the Uniqueness of this "Vein" is evident.
A Dragon Vein that has matured is a world Treasure, this world may not even have one. Weak Dragon Veins are Not Few, Heaven Refining Demon Sect and Heavenly Void Sword Sect have both restrained Dragon Veins to strengthen Sect Fortune.
The Earth Mother Scripture records that the largest Dragon Vein in this world is a Fifth-Order Dragon Vein, far from being a complete body, and it is located within the [Sea Dragon Abyss] of the Chaotic Ancient Sea, which is Difficult for Cultivators to enter.
Various Strange Art anecdotes greatly broadened his Vision.
The two proceeded towards Nether Ghost Mountain while communicating. Occasionally, Wang Yu would also ask about the customs and practices of the Taihu Spirit Domain Region. Before the age of sixteen, he had lived entirely as a Mortal.
And was also limited to Stone Lake City. He did not know much about Tai Lake Region, let alone the Taihu Cultivation World.
Knowing that she had revealed her background, Long Yiran no longer concealed anything. Whatever Wang Yu asked, she would say.
The situation there, although there were also petty and despicable things, was generally very prosperous. Long Yiran could name more than ten famous Cultivators off the top of her head.
As for Wang Yu, apart from the names of Nascent Soul Cultivators, he really didn't know any powerful Geniuses. It should be that the Mortality Rate was a bit High. Red Kite Region only spread the Prestige of the strong.
Those who died would be forgotten in a few years, As If they had never appeared, realistic and cruel.
"Yiran feels that Brother Wang also does not seem to be a Red Kite Region person. Why not go to Tai Lake Region for Cultivation? Although the Rules are strict there, and Resources are Rare, it is still much safer than Red Kite Region."
Hearing This, Wang Yu Immediately fell silent.
He had tried, and then been chased back.
Back then, it was said that Red Kite Region was more suitable for Development, but from the time he attacked the Slave Hunting Team, he had not been without the Thought of staying in Tai Lake Region.
After all, the Storage Slot was more useful than any Secret Method. This was the confidence he had chosen.
"There's no point in talking about these things now. Array Master Long, if you don't want to die in Red Kite Region, Return as soon as possible after the Sky Soul Sect matter is over."
Hearing This, the other party Immediately fell silent.
She knew that Wang Yu was reminding her out of Goodwill, but Resources were too scarce in Tai Lake Region for Rogue Cultivators. She was already over two hundred years old this year, and must Breakthrough to Core Formation.
Ahead, Nether Ghost Mountain had Arrived.
