! There were hundreds of cultivator's cave residences on the half of the mountain that served as the foundation! There were pills, secret manuals, weapons, spirit herbs, or rare metals in the Cultivation Dojo ….
Chu Yang accepted all of them without hesitation. Since he was already here, he would naturally accept whatever he could.
He only left behind some very low-level stuff that the Sword Spirit had appraised. He couldn't possibly leave nothing behind when he let people in after a few days, right? That would be too obvious. If they suspected that someone had beaten them to it, there would always be trouble in the future.
"It's here!"
The Sword Spirit cried out in surprise.
The two of them finally found the answer to the strange matter just now as they walked towards the mountain top.
At a certain corner, there was a valley densely packed with corpses!
Every bone was sparkling and shiny. The skeletons were as big as mountains.
Chu Yang sucked in a breath of cold air.
The corpses piled up in this valley were probably no less than tens of thousands of people!
Chu Yang gently walked over, and casually turned over one of the corpses. He turned it over with a crashing sound. Some places automatically turned into white ashes after he turned it over. But, a few thigh bones, arm bones, and so on, as well as the skull, were still intact. They had all turned into a kind of texture that seemed to be stone or jade.
Obviously, this part of the bones had turned into fossils!
Among them, there were many bones that still had their original texture. These were the bones of experts who had reached the Heavenly Human Level when they were alive. Even after hundreds of thousands of years had passed, their bones could still maintain their original texture.
But they could no longer recover their vitality!
"Ah? The fatal injuries of these people are actually the same. " Chu Yang looked at the bones on the ground, his eyes revealing a look of sincere horror. "They were all stabbed in the chest by a sword!"
"I'm afraid it wasn't just a sword! It was sword energy! " The Sword Spirit corrected him. "When the sword energy entered the body, it had already shattered the original soul of the person who was attacked. Then, it cut off their vitality! The person who did this is extremely vicious and merciless. "
"He didn't even give them a chance to dissipate their souls! He directly destroyed them completely! "
"With so many people piled up here, the person who did it only used three swords at most. The Sword Qi that was brought up should have the ability to chase after life and lock the soul, killing all of them!"
After all, the Sword Spirit had followed Xue Leihan for many years. He more or less had a certain understanding of people of Xue Leihan's level. At this moment, his voice was very heavy as he said, "Judging from the signs here, even if the cultivation of the person who did this isn't as high as yours, I'm afraid it's not that far off!"
Chu Yang nodded to show that he understood.
The Calamity Sword whistled out and began to plunder and collect spiritual herbs in the valley.
Because there were too many experts who had died here, and their cultivations when they were alive had turned into Spiritual Qi, the quality of the Spiritual Herbs growing in the vicinity was also extremely high. However, Chu Yang had always felt that such elixirs were somewhat disgusting. Therefore, he had opened up a separate medicinal field for himself. He had also made up his mind that he and his family would not touch the elixirs produced in this field.
In the middle of the ten thousand corpses, a dark flower stood in the wind, constantly emitting wisps of black Qi.
"That's the Ghost Flower!" The Sword Spirit sighed. "Only under the premise that many people have died, and under the premise that these dead people's original cultivations are very high, will there be a chance for such a strange flower to appear. I really didn't expect that there would be one here, and that it would grow like a big tree.
"Ghost Flower?! The conditions for this flower to appear are so harsh. It must be of great use, right? "Chu Yang asked.
"That's hard to say. I've only heard that the Ghost Flower can connect the two realms of Yin and Yang, but I don't know its specific use," the Sword Spirit said. As he spoke, he looked at the Ghost Flower with some excitement and muttered, "I wonder if there's this and that?"
"This? That? "Chu Yang was startled." What's this and that? "
The Sword Spirit looked at it for a while and reached out to touch it. Finally, he shook his head in disappointment. "Looks like there shouldn't be … Keep them all. This thing should be useful in the future. Even if it's useless, don't leave it here and let others take advantage of it. "
"Okay!" Chu Yang waved his hand and was about to put it away when the black fog above the Ghost Flower suddenly transformed into a clear human face. It bared its teeth and rushed towards Chu Yang.
Chu Yang was startled when he saw this. He was about to use his palm to disperse or force back that strange face. But, the Sword Spirit had already rushed forward excitedly. "So there really is one. I almost misjudged it. Leave it to me! This thing is a great supplement for me! "
Then, the Sword Spirit suddenly flashed high in the sky and transformed into a black phoenix. It opened its big mouth.
It spouted out pitch-black ink-colored flames. And, it rushed towards the monster in front of it!
That monster was caught off guard and its reaction was somewhat slow. It was instantly hit by the black flames of the Sword Spirit. Chu Yang thought that the two of them would have to fight for a long time. But, he didn't expect that the monster would let out a hoarse scream as soon as the black flames touched it. Then, it turned around and tried to escape.
Chu Yang heard this scream, and suddenly had a negative feeling that his spirit was shaken.
The Phoenix that the Sword Spirit had transformed into chased after the monster relentlessly. Along the way, the black flames seemed to be free of charge. Every time it burned the monster's body, it would evaporate into a pitch-black mist! The black fog would be quickly absorbed by the Sword Spirit as soon as it appeared. Then, the size of the Sword Spirit's Phoenix would increase significantly.
The black flames lingering around the Phoenix's body also became more intense and more gorgeous as the black fog was absorbed.
That monster didn't have the strength to fight back. Even when it tried to escape, it could only run back and forth around the Ghost Flower. It seemed that it couldn't get too far away from the Ghost Flower. This situation naturally made it easier for the Sword Spirit to chase and intercept it.
Later on, the monster let out a pitiful cry, as if it was begging for mercy. However, the phoenix transformed from the Sword Spirit did not show any mercy. It continued to pounce on the monster ferociously, turning it into a pitch-black fog with a mouthful of flames. Then, it spread its wings and instantly doubled in size!
Whoosh!
The Sword Spirit returned to his human form and landed on the ground. He had a satisfied look on his face. He was beaming with joy, and looked like a cat that had just stolen a fish. He looked lazy and a little lustful.
"What the hell is this thing?" Chu Yang asked, "Look at your vulgar appearance after eating it. It's really annoying!"
"You don't know shit!" The Sword Spirit was immensely proud of himself, "This thing is useless to living people like you. In fact, it will only harm you if you come into contact with it. But, to a soul like me, it has the same astonishing effect as if you had eaten a miracle medicine! This thing is called the Ten Thousand Souls Spiritual Body! If it weren't for the deaths of so many experts in this place, the resentment of hundreds of thousands of years would've condensed to form such a good thing … I didn't expect to have such an unexpected harvest this time. I've really struck it rich … "
"Hurry up and tell me what's the effect of eating this thing?" Chu Yang said as he put away the Ghost Flower.
"To put it simply, I can reconstruct my body and be reborn if I encounter a suitable opportunity after eating this!" The Sword Spirit looked up to the sky and shouted, "I've been waiting for this day for 130,000 years!"
Chu Yang didn't know what was going on. He clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Isn't it just a chance to live under the sun again? Look at how excited you are … I live under the sun every day, but I'm not as excited as you are! "
The Sword Spirit was completely speechless!
[How can I be the same as you? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens for saying such words?!]
"That's right, where did that Calamity Divine Soul you mentioned go? We've been here for a long time. How come we haven't seen even a shadow of that guy? " Chu Yang frowned. He looked at the top half of the mountain peak, and muttered, "That place with golden light and purple energy should be the headquarters of that super sect."
The Sword Spirit nodded, "It should be … But, it seems a little strange … We have been here for a long time, it's impossible for us to be here until now. Why hasn't the Soul of Calamity appeared yet? He is the most sensitive to the aura of living beings. Bah, why do I have the same idea as you, idiot? It's our luck that we didn't encounter the Soul of Calamity, but if we do, we won't be able to leave …"
Just then, a hoarse laughter suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Rather than a laugh, it was more like a weird sound made by bones that made one's teeth ache.
A gloomy voice that seemed to be floating in the clouds said, "I've always been here. It's just that you haven't noticed. The reason why I haven't appeared is because I've been waiting for you to come here! You also know that you won't be able to leave after encountering me. It's just as you thought. Since you've come, don't think about leaving. "
Suddenly, the voice changed into a strange laughter, "It's actually a living person and a soul body. Excellent, excellent! Just in time to save me all the trouble! "
The Sword Spirit's face changed dramatically. He exclaimed, "It's actually a peak divine soul that has complete consciousness and can communicate with any living creature! We're dead! "
Chu Yang's face also changed dramatically!
When he turned around, he realized that everything he had seen along the way had all disappeared. Even the entire sky was filled with a dark and cold aura of death.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
One by one, zombies, with ghostly fire flickering in their eyes, stepped out of this boundless darkness.
These zombies were all naked. The muscles on their bodies seemed to have congealed on their bodies. They didn't decay like the other corpses. Some of them were even wearing clothes.
Some were holding long swords, some were holding long sabers, some were holding whips, some were holding daggers, and some were carrying a big stick made of unknown metal!
And all the zombies had one thing in common — their faces were all ashen!
If it weren't for the ghostly fire flickering in their eyes and the big bloody holes in their throats that were constantly being torn open by the sword wounds, Chu Yang would almost have suspected that these people were all alive!
