After cleaning up the Rank Two Refined Corpses, the ten peak Foundation Establishment cultivators walked to the front.
The Ji brothers were among them. Ji Cheng held a bell, while Ji Yue held a stack of talismans.
There were three peak Foundation Establishment cultivators holding Rank Two Upper Grade Peach Wood Swords.
Wang Daoyuan had never killed a Refined Corpse before, but he heard that Refined Corpses were afraid of peach wood and fire-attribute artifacts.
There were no fire-attribute spiritual woods in the Spirit Pearl, but there were many Golden Jade Peaches.
He took out a Rank Two Upper Grade Long Sword made of Golden Jade Peaches from the Spirit Pearl and held it in his hand.
Zhou Xuan transmitted his voice, "Wu Daoyou, give me a Peach Wood Sword too. I don't have anything to defend myself with."
Wang Daoyuan also transmitted his voice back, "A direct disciple of a top power in Beiyuan Xiuxian without anything to defend yourself with? Are you joking with me?"
Zhou Xuan was a little embarrassed, "The things given to me by the elders are too eye-catching. It's not good to take them out directly.
The artifacts I made myself aren't that good. "
Wang Daoyuan couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with him. He took out a Rank Two Upper Grade Peach Wood Sword from the Spirit Pearl and handed it to Zhou Xuan.
Seeing him take out two Peach Wood Swords, Ji Yue asked, "Wu Daoyou, do you have any more Peach Wood Swords? This thing has a very good restraining effect on Refined Corpses. If you have more, take them all out. We'll use spirit stones and other things to exchange with Daoyou."
Wang Daoyuan replied, "These two peach wood swords were also refined from the trunk of a second-grade high-grade spirit peach that I chanced upon previously. There are only these two swords.
Moreover, I didn't want to use them against Refined Corpses. There are no tool patterns on them.
Relying only on Peach Wood Swords won't have a strong restraining effect on Refined Corpses. I took them out to boost my courage. "
Seeing that he wasn't willing to take out the Peach Wood Swords, Ji Yue didn't continue to pester him. After all, they were neither relatives nor friends.
Against Rank Three Refined Corpses, a few more Peach Wood Swords wouldn't be of much use.
After the peak Foundation Establishment cultivator finished his preparations, he took the lead and entered the cave. Wang Daoyuan and the others followed closely behind.
The cave was only a few hundred feet deep. After reaching the bottom of the cave, there was a huge stone room with a diameter of over twenty feet.
On one side of the wall, there was a pitch-black door.
Although this portal was not very similar to the two mystic realms Wang Daoyuan had seen before, it felt similar.
It was a bit like the feeling of taking something out of the space of the Spirit Pearl. Perhaps it was called spatial fluctuation.
Wisps of Yin Qi could be seen emanating from the door.
A peak Foundation Establishment cultivator with a peach wood sword walked to the door and took out an inferior-grade Grade 3 spirit talisman. He hung it on his sword and extended the peach wood sword through the door.
Then, a wave of spiritual energy flickered on the peach wood sword.
Wang Daoyuan sighed in his heart. These rogue cultivators were really experienced.
A cultivator's divine sense couldn't pass through the secret realm's door. If there was an ambush behind the door, the outside world wouldn't be able to discover it.
He might as well use his magic tool to trigger the talisman and launch a wave of indiscriminate attacks on the door.
After the talisman detonated, the cultivator pasted a few Earth Armor Talismans on himself and passed through the door into the mystic realm.
The other peak Foundation Establishment cultivators also quickly passed through the door.
All of this took only five breaths of time to complete.
Next, it was the turn of the Level 9 Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter.
Wang Daoyuan pasted more than ten superior-grade Grade 2 Earth Armor Talismans on himself before entering with the others.
Zhou Xuan was even more cowardly than him. He pasted a few defensive talismans on himself and followed at the back.
After entering the door, there was a huge flat ground in front of them.
It was very dark in the mystic realm. It felt like the sun had already set in the evening but the sky was not completely dark yet.
Even with the eyesight of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could only see up to two hundred feet away. Their divine senses could only reach up to a hundred feet away.
The nine Level 9 Foundation Establishment cultivators began to set up formation plates as soon as they entered.
Among the nine of them, there was a formation master commanding, so there was no need for Wang Daoyuan to participate.
The ten peak Foundation Establishment cultivators were already fighting with the four inferior-grade Grade 3 Refined Corpses.
Of the four Grade 3 Refined Corpses, three were refined from the corpses of human cultivators and one was refined from the corpse of a tiger-type demon beast.
The bell in Ji Cheng's hand had an obvious restraining effect on the Refined Corpses. Once the bell was rung, the four Refined Corpses stood motionless on the spot.
The Refined Corpses would only react after four or five breaths.
The other cultivators took the opportunity to use talismans and artifacts to attack the four Refined Corpses.
Ordinary cultivators' artifacts would only cause a few sparks when they hit the Grade 3 Refined Corpses.
Only fire-elemental attacks and peach wood swords could cause some superficial wounds to the Refined Corpses.
Ji Cheng was also under great pressure. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, activating a Grade 3 artifact consumed a lot of his divine sense. However, he had no choice but to activate the bell many times.
Otherwise, if the Refined Corpses woke up, these people would not be able to resist at all.
With their strength alone, they would not be able to take down these Refined Corpses.
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Xuan did not go forward. They just stood at the back and threw a few spells at the Refined Corpses.
After a hundred breaths, the array disc was set up. The ninth-level Foundation Establishment formation master activated the core of the array and activated the array.
Ji Cheng used all his strength and activated the bell again, suppressing all the four Refined Corpses and covering everyone's retreat.
The power of his divine sense was almost exhausted. Seeing that the array was completed, the other peak Foundation Establishment cultivators did not care about anything else and quickly retreated into the array.
Ji Yue naturally would not give up on his own brother and pulled him into the array.
After Ji Cheng entered the array, he meditated near the core of the array to recover the power of his divine sense.
Of the other nine peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, two of them were seriously injured and could not protect the array disc at all.
Wang Daoyuan and a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator replaced the two of them and guarded an array disc with the other seven Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The remaining seven ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators and Zhou Xuan each went behind an outer array disc to support the cultivators guarding the array disc at any time.
Zhou Xuan continued to follow Wang Daoyuan shamelessly. There was one peak Foundation Establishment cultivator who did not have anyone to support him – Ji Yue.
That was because he was strong and had a few Grade 3 spirit talismans in his hands.
Even if there was no support, he could hold on.
Ji Cheng finally activated the bell and suppressed the Refined Corpses for three breaths.
At that moment, the four Refined Corpses regained their mobility and pounced towards the array.
After all, they were Grade 3 Refined Corpses and their speed far exceeded that of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Wang Daoyuan expanded his divine sense and watched the Refined Corpses to prevent them from being ambushed.
The souls of humans and demon beasts were divided into two parts – the soul and the essence.
The soul was the source of consciousness and intelligence. It was hidden in the sea of consciousness and the power of one's divine sense also came from the soul.
On the other hand, the essence was distributed throughout the body and controlled every part of the body under the command of the soul.
After a human or demon beast died, the soul left the body, but the essence remained in the body and merged with the body. If the body did not decay, the essence would not dissipate.
Therefore, things like divine sense attacks were completely useless against the Refined Corpses.
To defeat the Refined Corpses, one could only rely on powerful means to directly destroy the Refined Corpses' bodies.
The Refined Corpses first attacked the lone Ji Yue. One of the Refined Corpses attacked the array disc that Ji Yue was guarding.
Ji Yue's battle strength was not weak. Relying on an escape technique, he dodged the Refined Corpse's attack and then threw a fire attribute Grade 3 spirit talisman over. The Refined Corpse was instantly surrounded by a sea of fire.
The cultivator controlling the array was not idle either. He quickly activated the array and condensed a Vermillion Bird phantom with a wingspan of about five hundred feet.
Once the Vermillion Bird phantom was formed, it spat out a fireball with a diameter of one foot at the Refined Corpse that was attacking Ji Yue.
The Refined Corpse was very vigilant and immediately fled outside the array, finally dodging the fireball.
A large part of its body was charred by the fire attribute spirit talisman, emitting the fragrance of barbecued meat and the stench of corpses.
After suffering a loss at Ji Yue's place, the four Refined Corpses no longer found trouble with Ji Yue and turned to attack Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Xuan who had the lowest cultivation.
