"Senior Brother, are you alright?" The moment Cheng Yu entered the Mountain River Diagram, Tian Xing and Tian Xue welcomed him.
"I'm fine," Cheng Yu shook his head. Just now, he had absorbed quite a bit of qi, causing him to be somewhat fatigued.
"Senior Brother, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly stop moving? "Tian Xing recalled the scene just now, causing him to be apprehensive. If something were to happen to Cheng Yu, they wouldn't know what to do.
"That fellow's baleful Qi is very powerful. Just now, my brain was invaded by the baleful Qi, causing me to lose my mind," Cheng Yu was somewhat fearful of what had happened just now. If he was a little bit slower, that fellow would have succeeded.
"Fortunately, you woke up in time. Otherwise, it would be really bad. Just now, I was scared to death. So many bats stuck onto me. Even the yin spirit had made a move. Fortunately, the fire on your body appeared in time, resolving the crisis," Tian Xing rejoiced.
"Haha! This time, I was too careless and nearly fell for it. But fortunately, you shouted in time, interrupting my hypnotic state, "Cheng Yu laughed.
"Let's see if you still dare to be cocky in the future. In this world, you are not the only one with such abnormal strength. Other people can also do it," Tian Xue was also frightened. Now that she saw Cheng Yu speaking so casually, she felt that it was time to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he would think that he was unparalleled under the heavens and become arrogant.
"Then let me congratulate you. Now, you can finally be cocky in front of me," Cheng Yu laughed.
"Good that you know," Tian Xue raised her head complacently.
"Senior Brother, is that fellow's baleful Qi really that powerful?" Tian Xing enquired curiously.
"That's right. Baleful Qi itself is a kind of tyrannical poison Qi. It is able to cause people to develop toxins, hallucinations, and lose their minds. Furthermore, it is able to be tempered for cultivation. How can it not be powerful?" Cheng Yu replied seriously.
Just now, Cheng Yu had been invaded by the baleful Qi, causing him to develop hallucinations and lose his mind. He had lost the ability to judge and control his own actions.
"Since baleful Qi is so powerful, why don't we righteous sects use it to cultivate?" Although he had heard of baleful energy before, he didn't understand it. The Righteous path viewed cultivating baleful energy as an unorthodox path, something done by the Devil path.
"Baleful Qi is a sinister thing. Only those vicious cultivation techniques can refine baleful Qi. If there is no special method, it is very easy to be devoured by baleful Qi. Moreover, even if there is such a method, when they cultivate, there is always the danger of Qi deviation. Furthermore, the people who cultivate baleful Qi are especially bloodthirsty. Therefore, the righteous path views baleful Qi as a demonic barrier. It is a technique that only evil people would use. Cultivators who consider themselves righteous would naturally not cultivate it, "Cheng Yu explained.
"So that's how it is. No wonder this guy's methods are so vicious and terrifying." Thinking back to the black-robed man's energy-sucking bat, the extremely powerful Yin Spirit, and the vicious baleful aura, every move was truly heart-wrenching. Just thinking about it made people afraid. No wonder the people he killed were only left with a pile of bones.
Alright, I need to recover first. You guys help me keep a lookout. If there's any abnormality, wake me up in time Cheng Yu instructed before going back to his usual place to meditate.

Under a dead tree, a black-robed man sat inside, vomiting a mouthful of black blood. His complexion was somewhat pale.
Unexpectedly, there's actually such a powerful flame. It was actually able to injure my Yin Spirit! The black-clothed man recalled that when the Yin Spirit was injured just now, the fear it displayed towards the flames was all transmitted to his mind, causing him to also produce a kind of extreme fear. This was because their souls were fused together, and the feeling was also interconnected.
If not, the black-robed man wouldn't have left so easily.
"Moreover, this person isn't simple. Not only is he strong, but his methods are also very powerful. Just the last two dragons playing with a pearl was enough to make him suffer. In the end, when he tried to escape, he even blew himself up quite badly." The black-clothed man also said weakly.
What a pity. If I had acted a little faster, I would have been able to succeed. His golden core would definitely be very nourishing. Furthermore, he still has two soul tools. What a pity, "Recalling the previous situation, the black-robed man felt a wave of regret. If he had acted a little faster, that person's everything would have been his.
However, this time, I have obtained five golden cores. I need to properly digest them for a period of time. I believe that my strength will definitely improve. At that time, I will find him to settle the score, the black-robed man thought.
Although Yin Spirits were creatures formed by devouring, it was indeed very fast in the early stages. However, after the Gold Core stage, it was difficult to improve. It required a large amount of golden cores to devour, and there wouldn't be a large improvement.
He believed that in the future, he might need to devour nascent souls. This was also the drawback of the Yin Spirit Devouring Technique. Otherwise, if he continued to improve rapidly, this world would have long been in chaos.

After the battle with the black-robed man, Cheng Yu and the other two did not encounter any other human cultivators. Instead, they were besieged by the wolf pack and the lion pack a few times. This also allowed Cheng Yu and the others to understand that it wasn't that the creatures here wouldn't take the initiative to attack. Those originally ferocious carnivorous creatures would also take the initiative to attack.
Furthermore, these animals all possessed the strength of Golden Core middle stage. Especially the wolf king and lion king, they were in Golden Core late stage. This caused Cheng Yu to be extremely nervous.
Fortunately, although Cheng Yu's Jewel Cauldron's attack wasn't very strong, its defense was very strong. The trio hid within the beast pack and didn't come out. While they were charging around, they had also received quite a number of attacks from the demonic beasts.
A few days later.
"Senior Brother, don't you feel that this place is very strange?" Tian Xing sat beside Cheng Yu. Looking at the pitch black environment outside, he voiced out his worries.
"Even you are able to see through it. Do you think I wouldn't be able to?" Cheng Yu was also attentively observing the surroundings.
If he didn't calculate wrongly, they should have been flying for three days and three nights. However, what caused them to feel uneasy was that there wasn't any daytime in these three days and three nights. This caused Cheng Yu to have no choice but to pay attention to it.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now? We have already experienced such a long night. Why isn't the sun rising yet? "Tian Xing enquired.
"We might have entered an illusion array or entered another space!" Cheng Yu voiced out his suspicions.
Because other than these two possibilities, Cheng Yu couldn't think of any other possibility. Besides, Cheng Yu had tried flying up to the sky before. However, he felt that no matter which direction he flew in, there was no end to it.
"Illusion array? Another space? What should we do? Wouldn't it mean that we can't get out? "Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Tian Xing and Tian Xue grew even more worried.
Although their experience and knowledge weren't very abundant, they still knew what it meant.
If it was an illusion array, it would still be fine. At least, there was a possibility of breaking it. But if they had entered another space, they would really have no other way.
At least in their opinion, if they wished to travel from one space to another, they had to be like Cheng Yu, possessing a spatial artifact. As the controller of space, they could freely enter and exit the outside world.
But now, if they were to enter someone else's space or an uncontrolled space, unless they had the ability to shatter the void, otherwise … they could only wait for death.
"Let me go out and take a look first." Currently, Cheng Yu had yet to understand the situation. He could only guess. If he wished to understand his current situation, he had to go out and observe.
"Be careful. If there's any danger, quickly come in." Tian Xue exhorted.
Although they were currently in Cheng Yu's artifact, without Cheng Yu, in such a strange place, they would always feel insecure.
Cheng Yu flew out of the Jewel Cauldron and kept it back into his body. He held onto his sword and walked forward slowly.
Although Cheng Yu had night vision, in this environment, he couldn't see very far. Tens of meters was already a blur.
The surroundings he could see was the same as the central region. Trees and flowers were everywhere. Cheng Yu's first reaction was that they shouldn't have entered another space.
"Could it be an illusion?" Cheng Yu thought. However, he felt that the illusion shouldn't be the same as before. It should give off a feeling that they had entered another world.
Cheng Yu soared into the sky, preparing to fly over to take a look. However, not long after he flew, a scene appeared in front of him, causing him to be astonished.
In the scene, a skinny middle-aged woman was working in the vegetable field in front of the mud house. A 10-year-old boy ran over excitedly while carrying a pheasant.
"Mother, look. What did I catch?" The boy extended the pheasant to the woman as he spoke excitedly.
"Yu 'er is really amazing. You actually managed to catch such a big wild chicken. Let's kill it tonight and give Yu' er some soup, okay?" The woman stopped what she was doing and patted the little boy with her hand as she said with a face full of love.
"No, mother. Let's raise it and let it lay a lot of eggs to nourish mother's body, okay?" The little boy shook his head hastily.
"Yu 'er is so obedient. Truly mother's good son," Seeing how filial her son was, the woman immediately hugged her son as tears of heartache flowed down.
"Mother! Mother! "Cheng Yu saw this familiar scene, tears immediately flowed down his face as he walked over to the woman.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! Senior Sister, what's wrong with Senior Brother? " In the Mountain River Diagram, Tian Xing saw Cheng Yu was actually shedding tears as he spread out his hands and walked forward with a sorrowful expression. He was puzzled as he shouted a few times, but there was no response.
"He seems to have been hypnotized again. He must have seen something sorrowful!" Seeing Cheng Yu's sorrowful expression, Tian Xue felt very uncomfortable as she commented worriedly.
At this moment, the scene in front of Cheng Yu had already changed. It was still the boy and the middle-aged woman. However, in front of the mud house, there was an immortal-like old man with white beard.
