Yi Yun's cultivation lasted a day and night. During this period, Yi Yun activated the Azure Lamp of Time. In fact, Yi Yun had been cultivating in the Azure Lamp of Time for two months.
By the time Yi Yun ended his cultivation, he had used nine of the fifteen Chaos Crystals in one go, leaving him with only six.
Over the past two months, Yi Yun spent most of his time cultivating the Taowu Visualization Chart. When his lifeblood powers were drained, he would use Chaos Crystals to recover them. And every recovery would raise Yi Yun's strength by a tiny bit.
In terms of quality, the Taowu Visualization Chart was inferior to the Dragon Emperor Technique, but the focus of the two was different. The Dragon Emperor Technique was only a cultivation technique that enhanced one's lifeblood powers.
However, the Taowu Visualization Chart contained moves. Just having potent lifeblood without moves meant that the combat strength one could produce was naturally limited.
The azure lamp spun as Yi Yun picked up another Chaos Crystal. The greatest opportunity in the inner valley was not something Yi Yun was bent on obtaining. On the contrary, he had already offended the Shaomang family clan. Raising his strength was of utmost importance. His life came before everything else.
At that moment —
Boom! The land quaked violently as a terrifying energy blast blasted from afar. Yi Yun's heart stirred as he flew out of his seclusion grounds.
He saw an energy shockwave sweeping across dozens of kilometers away. The land was in shambles, and the terrifying energy blast left him alarmed.
Yi Yun focused his gaze and saw a black fog billowing into the sky. It was filled with a ghostly aura as a gigantic ghost banner descended from the sky. It was like a black screen that enveloped everything.
But at that moment, infinite nomological light gathered, condensing into a nomological sword that tore through the ghost screen completely!
This was … a battle between Godly Monarchs!? An energy blast that could leave him alarmed could only be from Godly Monarchs.
"This is the means of humans and Ghosts," said Bai Yueyin. Yi Yun guessed that it was likely Taixia's Godly Monarch Divineheart fighting an unknown mighty figure of the Ghost race without Bai Yueyin's elaboration.
For two Godly Monarchs to end up in such a state, it was likely that they had discovered some impressive treasure.
"I wonder what they are fighting for?" Yi Yun was somewhat curious.
And at that moment, he discovered a group of human warriors being pursued by a monster that was hundreds of feet long.
The monster resembled a gigantic octopus. Its body was covered in eyes, and each eye looked different. It was as though it could suck in a person's soul.
"It's a Thousand-eyed Mo!" Bai Yueyin said, "The ghosts nurtured by the Ghost race will grow an additional eye every time a Divine Lord is killed. Not only will the Divine Lord that is killed not be able to rest in peace, but their souls will also be locked in the eye. They will be constantly tortured until they form a wraith. They will lose their original memories and be used by the Thousand-eyed Mo. Nurturing a Thousand-eyed Mo is an extremely vicious mystic art. One can nurture a Hundred-eyed Mo all the way to a Thousand-eyed Mo and then a ten-thousand-eyed Mo. And a ten-thousand-eyed Mo would have the power of a God Monarch. "
"They can't even rest in peace after being killed. The Ghost race's mystic arts sure are ruthless." Yi Yun placed himself in the Thousand-eyed Mo's shoes. Being devoured by the Thousand-eyed Mo was truly a fate worse than death.
And just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw a human disciple being swallowed by the Thousand-eyed Mo. He let out a heart-wrenching scream, but no matter how he struggled, his resistance was like a pebble that had fallen into a large lake. He couldn't cause any waves at all.
"Martial Nephew Li! Damn it! "
An azure-clothed middle-aged man slashed out with a black metal ruler in a bid to save the disciple, but his attack was blocked by a strange beam of light shot out from the Thousand-eyed Mo's eyes. It was completely useless.
"It's Steward Zhou."
Yi Yun noticed that the person using the Heaven Ruler was none other than Steward Zhou. The human team led by Godly Monarch Divineheart was naturally from the Taixia Ancient Mining, so it was only reasonable that he saw Steward Zhou.
Steward Zhou was not weak, but the Thousand-eyed Mo he faced was nurtured by a Ghost Godly Monarch. Its eyes had already reached eight thousand, and it was not far from having ten thousand eyes.
"Peng! Peng! "
At this time, the Thousand-eyed Mo let out shrill ghost cries. Twelve streams of black mist gushed out from its body. In the blink of an eye, these black mist transformed into black-robed Ghost Race martial artists in the air. Their bodies were pitch black, but there was a fist-sized red eye between their eyebrows.
The moment the eye appeared, it spewed out a red beam that resembled a blood fountain.
"Puah! Puah! "
A Taixia disciple was penetrated by the red beam as he immediately collapsed to the ground with a tragic cry. His flesh and blood withered at a discernible pace.
Yi Yun watched this scene from afar as his heart palpitated. The Ghosts' combat style was completely different from humans'.
Furthermore, the Ghost warriors did not have a corporeal body. Yi Yun saw that when the human Divine Lords counterattacked, the Ghost warriors would fly back into the Thousand-eyed Mo's body. The Thousand-eyed Mo was like an invincible war chariot to them.
Yi Yun did not recklessly charge forward despite the situation in front of him. He did not have any sense of belonging to the Taixia to begin with. The Taixia had not treated him well either, so standing up for the Taixia was meaningless. Now, all Yi Yun wanted to know was what the Taixia and the mysterious Ghost Thearch were vying for.
"The Taixia probably won't be their match!" Yi Yun assessed the situation. Now, it all depended on Godly Monarch Divineheart to see if he could turn the tide. However, when he saw the ghostly aura in the sky that resembled an abyss, Yi Yun felt afraid for Divineheart.
Bai Yueyin said, "It's not easy for Ghost warriors to cultivate. The cultivation techniques they cultivate in are extremely weak. In order to cultivate Ghost cultivation techniques, many Ghost geniuses will get married in their teens and commit suicide after giving birth to children. They will focus on Ghost mystic arts."
"Giving birth to children is only for the continuation of their race. And after they become ghosts for millions or even tens of millions of years, they will not know the taste of food. They will no longer have the pleasure of having sex, much less reproduce. By sacrificing so much, they will naturally gain something. They will live longer, and compared to human warriors of the same level, their combat strength will be stronger. "
"I know you wish to fish in troubled waters, but it will be very difficult. Once you vie for the treasure, you will incur the wrath of the two Godly Monarchs and become their common enemy. That will only bode ill for you."
Bai Yueyin exhorted Yi Yun. At that moment, the people from the Taixia Ancient Mining discovered Yi Yun.
They were fleeing in panic when they suddenly saw Yi Yun standing not far away from them. They were astounded.
When the Taixia Ancient Mining separated from Yi Yun, they saw Yi Yun enter the God Confusion Valley alone. He did not have the protection of any faction. Everyone believed that Yi Yun would definitely perish on this trip, but they never expected him to appear in the valley in perfect condition.
Furthermore, Yi Yun was alone. Could it be that he had entered the inner valley alone!?
"How can this punk be here!?"
The person who spoke was Zhou Fang. He was Steward Zhou's cousin. Back when Yi Yun was identified as the Taixia Ancient Mining's spy, Zhou Fang had played a part in it. However, Godly Monarch Celestial Peng was present back then, allowing Yi Yun to fish in troubled waters and escape.
