The Sea Serpent had the attributes of earth, fire, and water. However, its divine ability was to swallow clouds and spit out mist, so it should be mainly of the water attribute.
Legend had it that the clouds spat out by the Sea Serpent could transform into all sorts of scenes.
Fata Morgana originated from this.
If someone controlled the array formation, the clouds could completely form an illusion array.
Wang Daoyuan seemed to understand why the demon beasts that attacked the branch back then did not succeed.
With the Sea Serpent's corpse, an illusion array was set up and controlled by cultivators.
Those demon beasts with weak spirit senses were unable to resist at all.
Logically speaking, someone should have controlled this place back then.
However, there were no human corpses in this hall.
He did not know if the human cultivator controlling the array formation had escaped later or if there was another reason.
The Sea Serpent's corpse was also extremely valuable.
Even though it had already decayed after tens of thousands of years, it was not suitable for refining artifacts.
However, since it could make the Soul-Chasing Bees and Devouring Spirits feel fear, its dragon might should still be there.
If it was buried near the spirit vein in the Spirit Pearl's space, it might be able to obtain more dragon aura.
The array formation that spat out smoke used the Sea Serpent's corpse as the core.
It guided the spiritual energy in the spirit vein into the Sea Serpent's body and transformed it into clouds that filled the sky.
If he acted rashly, he might trigger other array formations and restrictions. He did not want to be trapped here for decades like his clone Zheng Ping.
It was better to search for other things first. When he was about to leave, it was better to touch the dragon corpse.
As the core building of the entire Valley of Beasts branch, this hall could not be so simple. There must be something like a treasure vault.
His clone, Devouring Spirits, used a small divine ability and condensed a black skeleton that probed the surroundings.
His small divine ability contained spatial laws and was perfect for finding secret doors and secret passages.
Soon, the black skeleton discovered that there seemed to be a secret door underground on the east side of the hall.
After searching the vicinity, it found a mechanism to control the secret door.
However, to open the secret door, it required the token of a disciple of the Valley of Beasts.
The Valley of Beasts had been destroyed for tens of thousands of years. Even if one or two tokens could be found, it would have been useless.
Since he could not use force, he could only use force.
In any case, tens of thousands of years had passed and the power of array formations and restrictions had greatly decreased.
It did not matter if he used force. His main body was further away.
Even if he triggered some incredible restriction, he wouldn't put himself in danger.
If he gave up now, then all his hard work over the past few years would have been for nothing.
Riches and honor were found in the midst of danger. If he gambled with the life of his clone, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he failed.
He drew out a wisp of Returning Dust Flame. Now that the clouds had been suppressed by the Gui Water Death Flame, the Returning Dust Flame would not directly extinguish.
The Vermilion Bird Fan condensed another Vermilion Bird phantom and flew into the hall with the Dust Returning Flame.
The defensive formation had already been broken. No matter how powerful the door was, it would not be able to withstand the Returning Dust Flame.
The moment the earthy yellow flame touched the ground above the hidden door, it began to burn.
There was a stone slab above the secret door. The stone slab seemed to have been refined into a magic weapon.
With the protection of the tool pattern, the burning speed of the Dust Returning Flame was very slow.
It took three whole days to burn the slate to ashes.
The hidden door beneath the stone slab was even more impressive. Even now, it was still an upper-grade Tier 4 magic artifact. The materials used were also very special.
The Dust Returning Flame took half a month to burn open the secret door. Below it was a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten feet.
The Devouring Spirit condensed a black skull and flew into the cave.
In just half a breath, the skull was annihilated by a force.
The Devouring Spirit also did not sense what was below.
Wang Daoyuan controlled the Returning Dust Flame and the Gui Water Death Flame and directly poured them into the cave.
Who cares what tricks it has, it can withstand the burning of the flames first.
Soon, a gust of cold wind blew out of the cave and the flames rolled out.
This cold wind seemed to carry corpse Qi and death Qi.
This was something that only refined corpses had. There was most likely a refined corpse below.
The thing below did not make him wait long. Soon, a dark golden-skinned "person" came out of the cave.
This guy did not have any vitality on his body and did not carry a trace of law fluctuations. His face was haggard and his eyes were already dry. It was impossible for him to be a living person.
The Yin Qi on this "person" was extremely dense and also emitted very thin corpse Qi and death Qi. Could it be another refined corpse?
Wang Daoyuan did not know much about refined corpses. He had never heard of a dark golden-skinned refined corpse.
In the records of the Ten Thousand Corpse Spiritual Master, there were many refined corpses mentioned, but there was no mention of dark golden-skinned corpses.
Without waiting for Wang Daoyuan to do anything, the guy who came out of the cave asked in a hoarse voice, "Which thief dares to trespass into my Valley of Beasts branch?"
Wang Daoyuan was stunned. This person considered himself a disciple of the Valley of Beasts. Could it be that he was the descendant of the remaining disciples of the Valley of Beasts?
Wang Daoyuan controlled the Devouring Spirit clone and asked, "The Valley of Beasts has not appeared in the world for 50,000 years. Who are you, and why are you here?"
The person murmured, "50,000 years? I've been guarding this place for 50,000 years? Why hasn't the Sect Master come to rescue me? "
Then, his voice became sinister. "The Valley of Beasts Branch Hall Master Long Yuntian is here. You dare to destroy the Branch Hall's array. You're courting death."
Hearing this, Wang Daoyuan was a little scared.
This was not the descendant of the remaining disciples of the Valley of Beasts, but the group of people from back then.
Even if the Hall Master of the Valley of Beasts' Branch Hall had not reached the Soul Formation stage, he was still one of the best in the Yuanying.
People from 50,000 years ago would not be able to live until now.
This person also did not have the aura of a spirit. He could really be a refined corpse.
After a person died, their body would turn into a refined corpse. Their spirit would leave the body and enter the cycle of reincarnation. The spirit and the body would become one, allowing the body to move.
However, refined corpses usually did not have the memories of their lives. A few refined corpses with memories would have incomplete memories.
Moreover, refined corpses had very low intelligence. Fourth-grade refined corpses did not have the ability to communicate with people. They were even worse than first-grade demonic beasts.
However, this guy's intelligence was comparable to an ordinary person.
Long Yunshan's Yin Qi surged as he attacked the Devouring Spirit clone.
This guy did not seem to know how to cast spells. He only had dense Yin Qi on his hands and relied on his speed and physical strength to attack.
The Devouring Spirit clone's small divine ability involved the law of space. Naturally, it would not be hit by such a simple attack.
He dodged the attack and used the Devil Race's secret hiding technique to hide his body.
Wang Daoyuan also put on the Black Devil Robe and used the Hidden Devil Art to hide.
Long Yunshan lost his target and shouted, "Coward, come out quickly."
This time, Wang Daoyuan confirmed that he was indeed a refined corpse.
Although his intelligence was quite high, his spiritual sense was too weak.
The Yin Qi fluctuations on his body were comparable to a half-step Yuanying cultivator, but he could not find any traces of the Devouring Spirit.
After Long Yunshan roared a few times, he locked onto the Vermilion Bird Fan.
Wang Daoyuan naturally would not watch his natal magic artifact be destroyed. He controlled the Vermilion Bird Fan and flew south.
He originally wanted to use the Vermilion Bird Fan to lure Long Yunshan away and let the Devouring Spirit go down to the cave to search for treasures.
He did not expect Long Yunshan to be so smart. He did not leave the hall.
Wang Daoyuan was not unable to contend against a refined corpse that was comparable to a half-step Yuanying cultivator.
After he broke through to the late Golden Core stage, his strength had reached the level of a first-rate Golden Core.
Even if he faced a real half-step Yuanying cultivator, he could still hold his own.
No matter how strong a refined corpse was, it was impossible for it to cultivate the power of law.
Cultivators could be said to follow the heavens. Comprehending the law depended on being recognized by the Great Dao.
Refined corpses were born to defy the heavens. They were not recognized by the Great Dao, so they naturally could not cultivate the power of law.
A half-step Yuanying cultivator without the power of law was much easier to deal with.
He could use the method he used to deal with the metal elite zombie back then.
Wang Daoyuan summoned the Redwing Crow and instantly used his small divine ability.
Long Yuntian looked at the Redwing Crow and said, "Your beast taming technique is an inheritance of the Valley of Beasts. Are you also a disciple of the Valley of Beasts?"
It seemed that this fellow could still be reasonable. Then he could have a good talk. Perhaps he could cheat a fifth-grade spirit item without fighting.
