The barren, cold, and pitch-black Yin Mountain was tens of thousands of meters tall. There were countless ghosts stuck to it. Some of them struggled desperately, but they could not escape. Some of them were already exhausted and could only watch as their souls slowly melted into the rocks. They let out endless hatred, curses, and hatred, making the entire Yin Mountain seem heavy, gloomy, and terrifying.
"As expected of the Yin-attribute Magnetic Mountain. It has an unimaginable suction power towards incorporeal and Yin-attribute objects." When Shi Xuan approached within a thousand kilometers of the Yin Mountain, he also felt a powerful magnetic force pulling at his primordial spirit. However, Shi Xuan had his physical body to block it, and his primordial spirit had already become pure Yang, so it did not take much effort to resist the magnetic force. If he was a Ghost Cultivator, he would have to go through the first tribulation before he dared to approach the Yin Mountain.
The Zi Ying Sword also sensed the power of magnetism. It said excitedly, "Master, don't you cultivate a cultivation method of yin and yang magnetism? The Yin Mountain is the manifestation of the Yin-attribute Law of Magnetism. If you can keep it and slowly comprehend and refine it, you'll gain a lot. "
"If it's so easy to take, why would those Ghost Lords leave it here? It's said that it's born from the Source of the Nine Nether World. From the deepest part of the cave, you can reach the Source Space that connects all levels of the Nine Nether World. The space-time inside is distorted, and mist spreads everywhere. Countless Mini Chiliocosms overlap. If you want to keep the Yin Mountain, you'll need to be at least a half-step Golden Immortal. " Shi Xuan explained casually. The conveyance light was neither fast nor slow, but it only took him a few breaths to travel a thousand kilometers. He soon arrived before the Yin Mountain.
He went around to the back of the Yin Mountain, where there was a bottomless cave. Shi Xuan turned into a black, cold flowing light and flew inside. He brushed past the three gloomy green lights that came out.
"Two of them are Three Tribulation Ghost Immortals and one of them is a Second Tribulation Immortal. From their conveyance techniques, they seem to be from the same sect. I wonder which Ghost Lord they are under?" When they brushed past each other, Shi Xuan was able to clearly determine the strength of the other party's cultivation at a glance because the other party had executed an Escape Immortal Technique with all his strength. He muttered in his heart, 'Fortunately, my Six Paths of Reincarnation is brilliant, so the other party did not notice any clues and left without noticing anything.'
There were many ghosts in the cave, but they were mostly stuck to the walls. Their mana and transformations were also sucked away. They could only wave their hands and grab Shi Xuan's ankles, body, face, and head according to their respective positions.
Along the way, there were continuous shrill ghost howls that were full of resentment. It seemed that since they were sucked into the Yin Mountain, they couldn't bear to see Shi Xuan being free and unfettered outside and wanted to get rid of him. There was even a half-dead ghost that had already merged with the walls of the mountain and only had its soul above its waist outside. When it saw Shi Xuan passing by, it became spirited and wanted to grab his ankles.
Shi Shuan had already strengthened himself with the Ice Hell of the Naraka Realm in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. At this time, as soon as he released his power, he could see wisps of white cold air surrounding his body. The hands of those evil ghosts were gradually frozen, and the ice spread to their bodies, turning them into ice sculptures. The frozen parts became like flesh and blood. After falling to the ground and breaking into pieces, they wanted to wriggle back together, but they could not, because they were all stuck on the Yin soil that was covered with frost.
After walking for a while in this environment, a cave entrance appeared in front of him. After Shi Xuan walked in along the path, he immediately felt his primordial spirit relax. The magnetic force of the Yin Mountain had completely disappeared, and there were no more ghosts stuck to the walls. There were only streams and lakes formed by the dense Yin Qi, black fog formed by the Qi of the Netherworld, and dripping sounds. The coldness, death, and sinking feeling were all rushing toward him.
This was the depths of the Yin Mountain cave. Under the influence of the Netherworld World's origin power, the Yin Mountain magnetic force was canceled out.
Only in such a place could the Sin Dispelling Flower, Karma Dispelling Flower, and many other strange Yin flowers and plants grow and give birth to new ghosts.
…
After the three gloomy green lights flew for several tens of thousands of miles, the one in the middle suddenly stopped, and a young cultivator wearing a black robe appeared. His eyes had no pupils and were completely white. His skin was abnormally pale and dry. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Yin Mountain, seemingly a little confused.
"Senior Brother Blind Crow, why did you stop here?" The other two lights also stopped. One of them was a big-headed baby with a pleasant appearance, but his face was covered in gloomy green qi, and his five fingers were glowing green. The other one was a man with deathly white hair. His face was covered in a layer of black qi of death that kept twisting and turning. From time to time, his face would change into strange eyes, nose, and mouth, looking very ferocious. He was the one who had asked Blind Crow.
Blind Crow frowned slightly. "The aura of the Daoist Master that we just passed by in the Yin Mountain cave was strange yet familiar. I should have sensed a similar aura somewhere before."
"Strange yet familiar? Why is it so strange? Could it be that the cultivation technique he practices is similar to someone you know, Senior Brother Blind Crow? " The man whose face was full of twisting black qi answered. However, he did not think so in his heart. The Daoist Master just now was a complete stranger to him, so he should not be an enemy.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the big-headed baby seemed to be in deep thought. Suddenly, he clapped his hands. "So it's him. It's really like wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find him by chance."
"So it's him!" Hearing the big-headed baby's words, the white-eyed Senior Brother Blind Crow also came to a realization.
The conversation between the two made their facial features disappear. Only the man with twisting black qi was puzzled. "Senior Brother Blind Crow, Big Brother Mo Gui, what are you talking about?"
"Junior Brother Shang Sheng, this is master's secret. If we leak it, both of us will not be able to escape death. You should return to Mount Mang and report to master on our behalf," Blind Crow said solemnly.
Mo Gui, who was at the side, nodded. "Fellow Shang Sheng, it's better for you to ask him about Lord Ghost Lord in person. We don't dare to tell you."
Shang Sheng saw that the two of them were tight-lipped. Although he was a little resentful, he did not dare to ask further. His master had a strange temper and his mood was unpredictable. Out of the nine brothers in the same sect, four had died in his hands. That was two more than those who died in the hands of other enemies. Thus, he turned into a light and returned to Mount Mang.
"I didn't expect him to hide it so well. He can actually switch between life and death. It seems like the bloodline of the Left Saint Celestial Emperor. I almost missed him!" Seeing that Shang Sheng had left, Mo Gui chuckled. He took out a jade pendant and released the incomplete aura shadow inside. As it rumbled, it transformed into a graceful and elegant living person. It was Shi Xuan.
After confirming it again and again, the two Daoist Ghost Masters did not dare to be slow. First, they spent a lot of effort to cast a spell and added the power of their primordial spirit to deceive the heavenly secrets. Then, they carefully and quickly rushed to Yin Mountain.
…
With a flash of purple sword light, there were tiny, sharp rays of sword light in a radius of a hundred kilometers. They formed the Black Tortoise Yin Yang Sword Formation and easily killed the group of ghosts before them.
The ghosts born in the cave all wanted to leave, but with the Yin Mountain's magnetic force blocking them, most of them were sucked into the walls. Even if they used various methods to force their way out, they would not be able to escape the even stronger magnetic force outside. Only ghosts that had achieved primordial spirits and undergone their first heavenly tribulation could leave safely.
As a result, only ghosts below the first tribulation of the Daoist Ghost Master were left in the cave. They could not block Zi Ying's sword at all. However, Zi Ying had just undergone his third heavenly tribulation, so his hands were very itchy and he was eager to give it a try.
He begged for quite a while before Shi Xuan reluctantly agreed to let him do as he pleased. Of course, Zi Ying's opponents were only those ghosts that had developed intelligence but were still driven by their instincts to attack him. As for those that had achieved primordial spirits, they were all sly and cunning. Seeing how fierce Zi Ying's sword was, they had already fled as far as they could.
"You're really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut." Shi Xuan shook his head as he made his way towards the pitch-black pond condensed from dense yin qi. There was a strange little flower beside it. It was also black, but it did not grow in the mud. It seemed to be overflowing with life and was simple and virtuous. It had seven petals, and they seemed to be filled with gratitude and gratitude. It was the Sinful Dispelling Flower.
He plucked the Sinful Dispelling Flower with a special method and placed it into the prepared Yin Jade box. There were already three neatly arranged flowers inside. "The Sinful Dispelling Flower is easy to find, but the Karma Dispelling Flower is nowhere to be seen." Shi Xuan had already prepared the money for the ship, but because he wanted to find the Karma Dispelling Flower, he continued into the complicated depths of the cave.
The Karma Dispelling Flower was also very useful for a Ghost Immortal to go through the third Heaven's Tribulation. But the ghosts deep in the Yin Mountain cave were not strong enough, so the four Ghost Kings divided the area. Every time a Karma Dispelling Flower bloomed, they would send their disciples to collect it. They did not give others a chance at all. Only in the depths of the cave, where the mist permeated and became like a labyrinth, would other Ghost Immortals occasionally find one or two Karma Dispelling Flower.
Just as he put away the yin jade box, Shi Shuan's face suddenly changed. He felt as if his soul was covered by a layer of mist, and it was faintly discernible. If he had not boarded the Boat of Forgetfulness and heard from the old boatman about the Nine Nether World and understood that it was extremely dangerous, he would have to be cautious at every step before he could get out safely. If he was not careful, he would have died. Therefore, he had been revolving the Tai Chi Diagram and the Innate Eight Diagrams to strengthen his Sudden Inspiration and his ability to sense danger.
Two Eight Trigrams appeared in Shi Xuan's eyes. He kept deducing and calculating, trying to get rid of this layer of mist. But the other party had been preparing for a long time. Although Shi Xuan had the Tai Chi Diagram, the Innate Eight Trigrams, and his own calculation ability, which made him outstanding below the Fairy Immortal level, he still needed some time to get rid of the mist, calculate where the danger was coming from, and how it would arrive. But now, what he lacked the most was time!
"Master, what happened?" Seeing Shi Xuan's behavior, the Purple Ying Sword waved its sword light and flew back. It asked with concern and anxiety.
Shi Xuan simply stopped deducing and merged with the sword light of the Purple Ying Sword. He flew deeper into the cave. "I sensed that someone was hiding from the Heavenly Secrets. There should be danger coming soon."
"Then why don't you just escape from the Yin Mountain and hide in the Left Saint Ghost Capital?" The Purple Ying Sword flew extremely fast, but at the same time, it was a little confused.
Shi Xuan said calmly, "If I fight with all my strength, I'm likely to expose my identity as a living person outside. It's better to hide in this hidden cave with magnetic barriers. And if I can't figure out what went wrong, even if I hide in the Left Saint Ghost Capital, I'll be found sooner or later, and I'll end up running for my life."
After a pause, Shi Xuan said seriously, "Most importantly, there's another benefit."
