After separating from Ming Xie and Ming Yi, Lu Xiaotian led Luo Qian and the others to the location of the Nine Palace Heavenly Yin Ghost Formation, allowing Luo Qian and Qing Li to experience the mysteries of the formation's core.
Both Luo Qian and Qing Li viewed the legendary Ghost Dao Grand Formation as a priceless treasure. They were afraid of missing out on any detail. This kind of ghost formation usually only existed in inheritances. Coming into close contact with it, even if it was just a slight touch, would benefit both Luo Qian and Qing Li greatly.
If it weren't for Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian, Qing Li wouldn't have been able to enter even if they knew the approximate location of the formation.
Besides the corpse qi used to refine the Nine Palace Lock, the corpse qi that Lu Xiaotian obtained from killing the White-eyed Ape King and the Three Corpse Apes was naturally given to Luo Qian and Qing Li. Luo Qian also left some for Su Qing. According to Luo Qian, Su Qing was at a crucial point in her cultivation of a new ghost dao sacred art, so it was inconvenient for her to go out. Naturally, some things could only be passed to Su Qing through Luo Qian.
Activating this formation required a large amount of ghost dao items and the Nine Palace Lock. The Nine Palace Lock was made from the corpse qi of the Profound Ghost. Both Luo Qian and Qing Li had refined a strand of Profound Ghost corpse qi, so they had a natural affinity with the Nine Palace Lock.
In the past seventy years, Lu Xiaotian had secretly contacted Ban Qianren. Ban Qianren only knew that Lu Xiaotian was currently planning something big. Therefore, he continued to cultivate in Ming Qi's lair. He hadn't obtained the Blue Demon Bottle for a long time, so there was still a lot of potential to be unearthed. It was even better than the magic treasures of old monsters like the Phantom Scorpion King and the Four-winged Mantis.
Ban Qianren couldn't overemphasize the importance of the Blue Demon Bottle.
Ban Qianren had things to do, and the Phantom Scorpion King was bored to death in Ming Qi's lair. After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of Lu Xiaotian coming back. Counting the time and the seventeen years Lu Xiaotian had spent in the Land of Drowned Souls, almost ninety years had passed, far exceeding the time limit given by the Demon Lord. The Phantom Scorpion King hated Lu Xiaotian so much that its teeth itched. Whether Lu Xiaotian was dead or alive, it had to send a message over. This time, it had been delayed for such a long time without any clues. Even if it returned, it would not be easy to explain to the Demon Lord.
The Phantom Scorpion King was furious. If it had known this would happen, it would not have listened to Lu Xiaotian and stayed in the Green Corpse Bone Snake's lair. What a waste of time.
"Daoist Ban, it seems that Lu Daoyou will not come back. After such a long time, there is no news from him. I think it is more appropriate for us to go out and look for clues on our own." The Phantom Scorpion King said to Ban Qianren.
"I received Lu Daoyou's order that we must wait for him to come back. Before there is definite news, I have to wait here." Ban Qianren shook his head and directly refused the Phantom Scorpion King.
"It seems that only Lu Daoyou can order you around. But don't forget that Lu Daoyou is not here now. If something really happens, who does Daoist Ban think can save you?" The Phantom Scorpion King's words were not without threat.
"My life was saved by Lu Daoyou. Originally, it was already over in the Demon Sea. Living until now is already a good thing. If Scorpion King wants to make a move, you can do it. But if you go out and meet Lu Daoyou, do you think Lu Daoyou will believe your explanation? Or do you think you have the ability to deal with Lu Daoyou? "Ban Qianren sarcastically retorted.
"You …" The Phantom Scorpion King was rebuffed by Ban Qianren. It secretly thought that not only was Lu Xiaotian bold, but even Ban Qianren, who had stayed by his side for a long time, had become so bold. What the Phantom Scorpion King did not know was that Ban Qianren was so bold because he knew that Lu Xiaotian had been staying around, but he was avoiding the Phantom Scorpion King, an outsider.
The Phantom Scorpion King sneered, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Bana is determined not to leave with me. That's fine too. I hope that one day, when the Demon Lord blames you, Fellow Daoist Bana can still remain so calm."
"The Devil Lord gave you the mission. It has nothing to do with me. I only listen to Lu Daoyou." Ban Qianren rolled his eyes. Before this, not to mention the Demonic Monarch, even the Phantom Scorpion King looked down on him. It was only after he obtained the Lanyou Demonic Bottle that his strength had improved. In many cases, he could already play a considerable role. Now, the Phantom Scorpion King was looking at him in a new light.
The Phantom Scorpion King felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He snorted coldly and left Ming Qi's nest with a dark face.
Ban Qianren, on the other hand, minded his own business and continued to cultivate.
At this time, at the core of the Nine Palace Heavenly Yin Mysterious Ghost Formation, a palm-sized bronze mirror floated in front of Lu Xiaotian. This bronze mirror seemed to be covered with a fine layer of dust and looked extremely rough.
Lu Xiaotian's left palm was facing up. There was a three-inch black sword with the same aura as the Abyss Swallowing Sword. It was similar to the Abyss Swallowing Sword of Chihiro Yeh's Lotus Avatar. Although it was not as powerful as the Abyss Swallowing Sword, its aura was no different.
The three-inch sword in his hand slowly flew into the bronze mirror and fused with it. The bronze mirror in front of him suddenly erupted with light. Black Qi began to gather within the mirror. This process continued for ten-some days before the bronze mirror took the shape of the Abyss Swallowing Sword.
Looking at the Abyss Swallowing Sword in the bronze mirror, Lu Xiaotian's spiritual sense extended into the bronze mirror. It seemed to be able to extend outwards through the mirror. In this bronze mirror, besides the black of the Abyss Swallowing Sword, everything else was white. His spiritual sense could extend very far. As for how far, Lu Xiaotian found it difficult to estimate. The only thing he could be sure of was that it could not go beyond the range of the Soul Sinking Land.
But compared to Lu Xiaotian using his spiritual sense to directly sense the situation in the Soul Sinking Land, it was more than a hundred times better.
Several months later, Lu Xiaotian's Lotus Avatar and Ban Qianren appeared on the outskirts of the Nether Demon Corpse Burial Ground.
"With your current strength, as long as you are careful, you won't encounter too much danger. On the way to the Demonic Chaos Territory, there will definitely be people inquiring about me. You don't have to do it yourself. You just need to spread the news that I'm in the Nether Demon Corpse Burial Ground. Also, leave this Image Recording Pearl to those who are interested, "Lu Xiaotian's Lotus Avatar said." After doing this, go to the Demonic Chaos Territory and wait for me. "
Lu Xiaotian told Ban Qianren about some of the things that happened in the Demonic Chaos Territory.
"Lu Daoyou, be careful," Ban Qianren said.
"The Demon Monarch planted a layer of restriction on me. In addition, there are other enemies looking for me. I still need some time to undo the restriction. When I return to the Demonic Chaos Territory, most of the trouble will be solved, "Lu Xiaotian said.
Ban Qianren nodded and took the Image Recording Pearl that Lu Xiaotian gave him. As a member of the Monster Race, Ban Qianren was not used to staying in the Nether Demon Corpse Burial Ground for so long.
It was unknown how long Ban Qianren would be gone. Lu Xiaotian shook his head. He also wanted to arrange this matter personally. However, the Soul Sinking Land was the most important thing. Lu Xiaotian couldn't leave easily. Moreover, he didn't feel at ease leaving it to others.
More haste, less speed. In the past, Chihiro Yeh didn't hesitate to wait a thousand years for the Ethereal Sword Embryo in his and Joe Yu's body to grow stronger. Now, in order to deal with Chihiro Yeh's main body, Lu Xiaotian had only been planning for nearly a hundred years. In comparison, he didn't pay much.
