Lu Xiaotian, who was flying on his saber the entire way, cursed his bad luck in his heart. The journey from the Spirit Firmament Palace to Full Moon City was smooth, without any wind or waves. However, as soon as he left Full Moon City, he was followed by the people from the Ancient Sword Sect seeking revenge, and then he encountered these disciples from the Thousand Bamboo School. If they hadn't been separated, his current situation would have been even worse. If these two fellows really didn't let him go, even a cornered dog would jump over a wall. Perhaps he could only turn around and fight it out with them. Pui pui, it should be said that he was forced into a dead end. The phrase 'cornered dog jumping over a wall' was not very appropriate to describe him.
It seemed that he should have stayed in Full Moon City or waited for Tian Jing and Song Hu to finish dealing with trivial matters before moving together. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into a situation where he was fighting alone.
What disappointed Lu Xiaotian was that the two Thousand Bamboo School disciples didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. Fortunately, their speed wasn't faster than his.
"Senior Martial Brother Yue, what should we do? This brat isn't slow, and speed isn't our forte. If this continues, we won't be able to catch up. "Niu Jingtai stood on a flying sword with an anxious expression.
"Unfortunately, my Thunder Hawk puppet was injured by that guy from the Void Heaven Sect. Otherwise, it would only take a moment to catch up to this brat. This brat isn't weak; even Junior Martial Brother Tao died at his hands and only had time to escape with his soul. We have to work together to have a chance of victory. This matter concerns the Thousand Bamboo School's secret technique. No matter what, we have to catch up. Right now, the position of school leader is empty, and Master is fighting with Vice School Leader Bai for the position. If we can catch this brat, Master will ascend to the position of school leader and we won't be lacking in benefits. "Yue Song clenched his teeth and analyzed the key points.
"Unfortunately, only the three of us came to Full Moon City," Niu Jingtai said angrily. "We won't be able to catch up to him like this."
"If the others also came, would we still be able to take all the credit for ourselves?" Yue Song rolled his eyes, "This brat is only one person, his stamina is limited. You come to my sword first, I'll fly on the sword while you close your eyes and rest. We'll take turns chasing. No matter how many spirit stones this brat has to replenish his energy, flying on the sword consumes too much of his Divine Sense. I don't believe he can keep flying on the sword like this."
Niu Jingtai's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. The two of them could take turns to rest, but the other party had no time to rest.
Although there was one more person on Lu Xiaotian's flying sword, a weight of more than fifty kilograms didn't affect a Foundation Building cultivator too much. He was still able to keep up with Lu Xiaotian's tail.
However, as the chase dragged on, Yue Song and Niu Jingtai's expressions turned increasingly ugly. They had already taken turns several times, but Lu Xiaotian, who was flying in front of them on his saber, did not slow down at all. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. They had been flying on their swords for too long, so their Divine Senses were abnormally tired. They had to take turns to rest. Just how powerful was Lu Xiaotian's Divine Sense to be able to do this?
"If this person is a disciple of the Thousand Bamboo School, his strength would probably be able to sweep away any cultivator of the same level. Junior Martial Brother Tao falling into his hands is not unjust at all, "Niu Jingtai said with a gloomy face.
"Even if his Divine Sense is several times stronger than a cultivator of the same level, there is still a limit. I don't believe he can continue to waste time with us." Yue Song clenched his teeth and continued to persist.
Lu Xiaotian's Divine Sense was naturally not several times stronger than a cultivator of the same level. Even if it was several times stronger, it would be impossible for him to persist for such a long time. It just so happened that he had cultivated an extremely rare Divine Sense cultivation method like the Split God Secret Technique. After splitting his Divine Sense into two Divine Senses, he could alternately control the flying sword and take turns to rest. Otherwise, he would've had to stop long ago due to excessive Divine Sense consumption.
However, these two dogskin plasters were rather annoying and couldn't be shaken off. It seemed that if he really couldn't do it, he could only make a turn and fly back to Full Moon City. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good idea to keep running like this.
However, after flying for thousands of miles in one breath, Lu Xiaotian suddenly felt a ghastly baleful aura from below that shot straight into the clouds. When did a secular country have such a ghastly place?
Lu Xiaotian was shocked. He controlled the Earth Splitter to descend and discovered that everywhere below was a barren land. The village was still burning, and the ground was littered with corpses, broken limbs, and broken walls. Just the corpses exposed on the ground numbered in the hundreds of thousands at a glance. There were commoners' corpses and secular soldiers' corpses. Looking at the corpses of warhorses and rusty sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, as well as the tattered military flag, Lu Xiaotian was shocked. It seemed that a tragic battle had taken place here in the secular country.
After flying for another hundred miles, on top of a few steep mountain ridges, the corpses under the city wall were almost piled up to the top of the city wall. In a large city on a plain that was closer to the impregnable pass, he saw hundreds of thousands of commoners' corpses lying everywhere. The city should've been massacred by the victorious side.
An hour later, the impregnable pass filled with corpses at the top of the city wall appeared in front of him again. Lu Xiaotian's expression suddenly became serious. He had been flying forward, but now he had turned back. This could only mean one thing — he had lost his way. In a secular country, it was extremely strange for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to lose his way.
Just as he was surprised, the corpses on top of the impregnable pass seemed to move a few times. Could it be that they had come back to life? Or perhaps they were lucky enough to survive. Lu Xiaotian looked again and saw a few white skeletons crawling out from the mountain of corpses. Green corpses emitted from the corpses of the mortals and flew into the dense forest near the impregnable pass.
Lu Xiaotian used the Spirit Eye Technique and saw two people in black robes in the dense forest. Each of them held a small blue bottle in their left hand. The green corpses emitting from the corpses seemed to be attracted by something and kept flying into the blue bottles. The white skeletons that crawled out from the mountain of corpses also came to the back of the two people in black robes and gathered with the dozens of white skeletons behind them.
The battlefield was so vast that it wasn't strange for some ghost cultivators to appear. However, he didn't know whether this war was caused by the secular countries fighting for territory or by the ghost cultivators with ulterior motives. Lu Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart. He had read some records about this in the biographies of the cultivators in the Spirit Firmament Palace. The stronger the Corpse Qi, the more dead people there were, and the more ghost cultivators liked it. However, wherever ghost cultivators appeared, it was a symbol of death and disaster. Therefore, they were often viewed with hostility by other sects. It was very difficult to survive in the Plenilune Immortal World. Only some dead areas were the world of ghost cultivators. This place was already a small dead area.
However, ghost cultivation methods had always existed in the Immortal Cultivation World. Some cultivators whose bodies were destroyed or whose souls were not scattered turned to the Dao of Reincarnation to cultivate ghost cultivation methods. Therefore, although the Plenilune Immortal World viewed ghost cultivators with hostility, they were unable to completely ban them.
Within a thousand miles of the secular countries, beacons were everywhere and corpses littered the ground. It gradually turned into a land full of Corpse Qi. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him was shocked when he saw this. With the density of Corpse Qi in this place, even he found it extremely difficult to feel the fluctuations of spiritual Qi in the air. His senses were greatly affected. It wasn't strange for some powerful ghost to appear. Although Lu Xiaotian wanted to return to Plenilune City, he was unfamiliar with this place. After entering this place, he was affected by the Corpse Qi and actually lost his direction. Before he found a way out, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave for the time being.
However, this complicated terrain and the Corpse Qi did provide him with a certain amount of cover. It could cover up the magic power fluctuations caused by his flying saber. The most important thing right now was to shake off the two people from the Thousand Bamboo School. Lu Xiaotian pondered for a moment before landing on the ground. He escaped into the dense mountain forest below the impregnable pass. Moreover, he hid in a place covered by mountain rocks and restrained the magic power fluctuations on his body to the minimum.
"Hmm? Where did that guy go?" Yue Song and Niu Jingtai descended from the sky. They had chased after Lu Xiaotian all the way, but it wasn't that they had seen Lu Xiaotian's back all the time. In fact, when they were taking turns to rest, Lu Xiaotian would often take advantage of the extra people they were taking turns to run away. It was just that when every cultivator activated their magic tool, the magic power fluctuations caused were different. The two of them were able to follow these fluctuations and fall behind Lu Xiaotian at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
However, after entering this place, the originally not too strong magic power fluctuations were quickly drowned out by the Corpse Qi in this place. It was like rain washing away the footprints of pedestrians on the road.
Yue Song and Niu Jingtai both used the Spirit Eye Technique and similarly saw the two ghost cultivators and the dozens of skeletons behind them in the forest.
"Not good, Foundation Establishment cultivators. Quickly inform Master." The ghost cultivators in the forest discovered Yue Song and Niu Jingtai at almost the same time. Their expressions were extremely flustered as they brought the dozens of skeletons and fled towards the rugged and deep mountain path. They were afraid that the two of them would catch up.
However, Yue Song and Niu Jingtai's attention was clearly not on the two ghost cultivators and the skeletons. Yue Song only snorted coldly and continued to search left and right. Although this place was ghostly, the two of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they were not afraid of two ordinary ghost cultivators.
This dead zone was not completely useless. At the very least, they had temporarily thrown off the two guys from the Thousand Bamboo School. Lu Xiaotian let out a temporary sigh of relief. Staying in this kind of place made him feel uncomfortable all over. Fortunately, he was already used to taking pills to cultivate and replenish his spiritual power. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be even more unaccustomed to it.
Lu Xiaotian thought that if he went out now, he might run into those two guys again. Moreover, this dead zone was so vast after the battle, yet the cultivation sects above were completely unaware of it. Furthermore, when the Foundation Establishment cultivators of each sect left their mountains to gain experience, they did not see any cultivators from other sects arrive. Lu Xiaotian could not help but feel that it was strange. Perhaps the Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge of patrolling had gone sightseeing elsewhere and were not patrolling normally. Perhaps they were trapped here like him.
To forge iron, one needed to be strong. No matter what, he had to increase his strength for the time being. Lu Xiaotian had always remembered the copper puppet that he had just obtained that could rival him.
《Puppet Mechanism Technique》《Bright Spirit Art》
《Puppet Mechanism Technique》 introduced a few methods to create and control puppets. Some people with strong spiritual sense could control two mechanical beasts at the same time to fight flexibly. When dealing with other cultivators of the same level, they would have a lot of advantages.
《Bright Spirit Art》 strengthened one's spiritual sense. It contained cultivation methods from the Qi Condensation realm to the Jin Dan realm, and was quite complete. Lu Xiaotian had specifically looked for similar cultivation methods in the Spirit Firmament Palace's Book Collection Hall. Basically, they could only be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment realm. It seemed that the Thousand Bamboo School, which focused on spiritual sense cultivation methods, had more complete spiritual sense cultivation methods than other sects.
In addition, there were a few parts of the Copper Man Puppet. If the Copper Man Puppet was damaged, it could be repaired in time. In addition, there were some materials for refining puppets, several hundred middle grade spirit stones and a few high grade spirit stones, as well as some medicinal pills for cultivation and healing.
This puppet refining technique could be used to refine puppets equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment realm. The materials for refining puppets for the Foundation Establishment realm were five hundred years old Hemlock Wood or Cold Ironwood. As long as he was willing, he could even use spirit stones to ripen them to a thousand years old.
However, refining puppets was not something that could be completed in one or two days. Even if he studied it carefully, he would not be able to improve his skills in two or three years. The matter of refining puppets could be handed over to Full Moon City or the Spirit Firmament Palace's workshop that was good at refining tools. He only needed to learn some relatively simple repair techniques and could occasionally change the parts. Then, he would become proficient in operating the puppets and be able to use them in battle. Therefore, what was really useful was the puppet controlling technique in 《Puppet Mechanism Technique》 and 《Bright Spirit Art》, which could strengthen one's spiritual sense.
《Bright Spirit Art》 was divided into nine layers. The first three layers were for the Qi Condensation realm. With Lu Xiaotian's current foundation, it was relatively easy for him to cultivate. It only took him ten days to cultivate to the second layer. Although he did not feel that his spiritual sense was much stronger than before, it was obviously more condensed. Especially the secondary primordial spirit, which was slightly weaker than the main primordial spirit, it benefited a lot.
"Haha, I didn't expect the Full Moon Immortal World to have such a dead area. Although it is not as good as the Immortal World, these secular mortals have the advantage in numbers. It is somewhat useful." Just as Lu Xiaotian was cultivating the Bright Spirit Art and familiarizing himself with the puppets, a bloody shadow flashed in the air. A skeleton's afterimage faintly appeared in the bloody shadow. Although its speed was not too fast, its movements were erratic and very strange.
At this time, in a ruined temple deep in the mountains a hundred miles away from the impregnable pass, a black-clothed old man with sunken eyes and a withered face looked like a ghost. His five fingers were as thin as withered branches. At this time, the black-clothed old man spread out his hands. A ball of green fire rolled across the pile of corpses in front of him, turning hundreds of corpses into ashes.
"My Yin Devouring Corpse Fire is finally about to be refined." The old man with sunken eyes let out an extremely unpleasant laugh.
"Mas, Master, not good!" A moment later, a black-clothed man with a panicked expression and bleeding chest stumbled over.
"What happened? You are injured? Where is my second disciple? "The old man with sunken eyes, Ge Changting's eyes exuded a terrifying green light.
"Two Foundation Establishment cultivators broke into this place. Second, Second Junior Brother did not escape in time and was killed by them." The black-clothed man stammered.
"Oh? Is that so? " When Ge Changting heard the news of his second disciple's death, he did not have the slightest fluctuation of emotion. He muttered a few words in a low voice, "Two Foundation Establishment cultivators, even this good-for-nothing eldest disciple could escape. Presumably, they are not that smart. It is just right to use them to refine my Yin Devouring Corpse Fire. This dead area is still somewhat useful to me. If those Immortal Sect hear the news and come, it will be troublesome. First, I will kill these two Foundation Establishment cultivators and delay them for as long as possible. "
