Chapter 117 She really didn't expect that she could find treasure in this way.
She asked Zhong Chun, "What level do I need to reach to unlock half of the Nine-Layered Tower?"
Zhong Chun shook his head vigorously: "I don't know. I died right after this tower was completed. The first two people who obtained this tower died very young and never even opened the second level."
Huanhuan glared at Zhong Chun: "Are you saying that our Xinxin, like the previous two short-lived ghosts, can't open the second level either?"
Zhong Chun hurriedly protested, "Sister Huanhuan, no, of course I hope that Master can ascend to the Immortal Realm. If she ascends, won't we also live longer? I really don't want the Nine-Layered Pagoda to fall asleep again. I've been sleeping for so many years, my bones are all limp from sleeping."
Zhong Lingxin was amused by Zhong Chun's words and stopped Huanhuan and Lele from teasing Zhong Chun.
These past few days, because Zhong Chun was initially dishonest, he was often targeted by Huanhuan and Lele. Consequently, the Yunlu people also disliked him, and the Soul-Slaying Sword and Phoenix Harp also looked down on him.
But Zhong Chun had already been bound by a master-servant contract with her and become one of her generals. She was even hoping that Zhong Chun would forge more magical treasures and immortal artifacts for her.
Amidst the noisy chatter of her friends, Zhong Lingxin bypassed Brother Yu and his group, setting up a trap on a dry riverbed.
The terrain here is flat, making it easy for her to operate the trapping and killing formation.
Brother Yu remained on high alert throughout the journey. For some reason, he was extremely wary of the cultivator hiding in the shadows.
Although he appeared calm and collected, his repeated flailing claws betrayed his anxiety.
Among the heretical practitioners, there were a few who didn't particularly respect him, and unknowingly, they drifted away from him.
Brother Yu, remember these people. We'll deal with them when we have the chance.
He was extremely resentful of the Great Chief.
For thousands of years, these evil cultivators have been developing in Black Cloud Cliff, imitating the righteous sects, and have also established five major sects: Blood Fiend Sect, Black Fiend Sect, Dark Cloud Sect, Fierce Soul Sect, and Blood Shadow Sect.
Among them, the Blood Fiend Sect is the most developed, with two ancestors at the Tribulation Transcending stage and the most disciples.
The Great Leader comes from the Blood Fiend Sect.
His sect, the Li Hun Sect, ranked fourth. It had no Tribulation Transcending stage ancestor and only a late-stage Mahayana cultivator in charge. It was only slightly stronger than the fifth-ranked Xue Ying Sect, which had a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator.
Ever since he was fortunate enough to contract the Netherworld Ghost Fire, he vowed to lead the Fierce Soul Sect to crush the other four evil cultivation sects, and to exterminate the righteous sects and unify the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Since entering the ancient battlefield, he has never given the Blood Fiend Sect's leader a second glance. He only outwardly showed obedience to him before turning around and leading a group of underlings to roam freely across the ancient battlefield.
With the Netherworld Fire at his disposal, if he encounters a remnant soul, he only needs to unleash the Netherworld Fire to quickly burn it to death.
When he encountered cultivators, he killed and robbed them without holding back.
Unlike other evil cultivators, he didn't need to hunt down cultivators' souls; he simply left those souls to other evil cultivators.
Therefore, more and more heretical practitioners are willing to follow him and obey his commands.
He was among the first to enter the ancient battlefield and one of the cultivators who obtained the most treasures there.
It can be said that he lived a very comfortable and carefree life on the ancient battlefield.
He planned to train on the ancient battlefield for a hundred years, accumulate enough cultivation resources for the next thousand years, and then find a quiet place to go into seclusion.
When he reappears, given his aptitude, he should at least be at the Mahayana stage, and might even reach the Tribulation stage.
It is difficult for evil cultivators to ascend to immortality, and the Heavenly Dao Elder dislikes them greatly.
He wouldn't ascend to immortality; instead, he would live a life of unbridled pleasure on the Immortal Spirit Continent, slaughtering righteous sects with abandon, turning the entire Immortal Spirit Continent into a paradise for evil cultivators, and turning all cultivators into members of his Fiery Soul Sect.
Since setting this ambitious goal, Brother Yu has been steadily moving towards it without ever wavering.
But ever since he discovered this invisible cultivator, he felt that he was getting further and further away from his goal, and even had a feeling that it was impossible for him to reach it.
These days, he's really become a bit paranoid. If he senses anything is wrong, he'll swat at it with his claws.
In the distance, there was a dry riverbed, a vast and open expanse with nothing amiss.
But Brother Yu still felt something was wrong, as if there was something deadly in the riverbed.
Amidst several disdainful glances, he swung his claw out again.
After the dark claw shadows passed, a large pit was dug out of the riverbed.
Several heretical practitioners cheered.
The pit emitted fluctuations of spiritual energy.
A few breaths later, the fluctuations of spiritual energy became even stronger.
The heretical practitioners cheered incessantly, but none of them dared to take a single step forward.
Brother Yu is a man who can be described as generous, giving them all the souls he hunted, as well as some low-level cultivation resources from other cultivators. Yet, he can also be stingy; if anyone dares to try and take any resources he sets his sights on, he'll scratch them with his claws, giving them no chance to beg for mercy.
Brother Yu looked at the huge pit and smiled.
He was extremely familiar with this fluctuation of spiritual energy.
He has found remnants of spiritual treasures from this fluctuating spiritual energy far too many times.
Brother Yu waved his hand and led the way towards the middle of the riverbed.
Zhong Lingxin was also a little confused.
Her trapping formation was not activated, so Yu Ge's claw strike had no effect whatsoever.
But she really didn't expect that she could find treasure in this way.
It seems she was too rigid, always assuming that since the ancient battlefield was buried underground and hadn't undergone the changes of time, the magical treasures should just be carelessly discarded on the ground or stones.
As Brother Yu and his group walked to the middle of the riverbed, they all gathered around the large pit to look at the spiritual treasure at the bottom. Zhong Lingxin silently said, "Activate!"
The trapping and killing formation was quietly activated.
Unaware of what was happening, Brother Yu and the others were all focused on the spiritual treasure at the bottom of the pit.
It was a spirit sword. Although rust had appeared on its blade due to its age, the rust was diminishing as the sword rang out, and a clear spiritual light was radiating from it.
Brother Yu reached out and tried to grab it from a distance.
The spirit sword trembled slightly, and with a flash, it dodged Brother Yu's hand.
One of the evil cultivators flattered, "What a sword, Brother Yu! You're going to make a fortune again this time. Don't forget to treat the brothers to drinks."
After a few days of sternness, Brother Yu smiled and readily agreed, "No problem, it's just wine. Once we leave the ancient battlefield, everyone here will be drunk on Master Tao's Immortal Spirit Jade Liquid from Black Cloud Cliff."
The heretical practitioners all burst into laughter, and all said they would definitely go.
Master Tao is a famous brewing master in their Black Cloud Cliff. His Immortal Jade Liquor not only tastes excellent and is rich in spiritual energy, but most importantly, it can also help them stabilize their sea of consciousness, which has been disturbed by absorbing too many other people's souls.
Another evil cultivator flattered, "Brother Yu, no doubt about it, such a fine spiritual treasure, you have to personally subdue it again."
