Yi Yun gripped the Thousand Army Saber tightly as his body's energy surged. He was like a cheetah ready to pounce.
At this moment, the cliff around Yi Yun had already disappeared. Replacing it was a cemetery!
There were desolate graves and ancient and mottled tombstones. It looked like the scene Yi Yun saw when he first came to this world.
Why did this happen?
Ever since Yi Yun came to this world, he had seen many experts with terrifying powers. He had also seen many majestic divine cities, as well as all sorts of strange spiritual plants and desolate beasts.
Many things challenged Yi Yun's understanding, breaking through his imagination.
But no matter how much it exceeded his imagination, Yi Yun had never seen such a strange thing. This was the first time!
A second ago, he was at the top of a cliff, and the next second, he was here. Did he encounter a spatial tunnel?
And at this moment, the graves in front of Yi Yun began to split open. Corpses began to crawl out from the graves.
These corpses were dressed in tattered clothes. Their eyes were lifeless and their faces were ashen.
Yi Yun felt his scalp tingle. This matter had exceeded his understanding!
When the corpses saw Yi Yun, their eyes began to glow red. It was as if Yi Yun's flesh and blood had attracted them.
They roared and charged at Yi Yun!
Yi Yun's blood surged as he felt the energy surging through his body. Facing such a strange situation, Yi Yun did not think about anything else. Whatever was in front of him, he would kill it!
"Cha!"
The Thousand Army Saber slashed out. The long saber blade swept across seven feet of the void. In front of Yi Yun, three corpses that were charging at the front were sliced in half!
In front of the Thousand Army Saber, even steel was like tofu, what more rotting flesh?
Yi Yun charged forward and swept the Thousand Army Saber in all directions. A casual slash could even split a horse apart. One slash was enough to kill three to four people!
The bright saber beam wantonly swallowed. Corpses after corpses were swept away as black blood splattered.
This feeling was like cutting a watermelon!
But, even more corpses were emerging from the graves. A grave could have four to five corpses, or even more than ten corpses.
These corpses seemed to be endless, no matter how hard he tried to kill them.
Yi Yun's saber was already covered in blood and rotting flesh. The saber's hilt had become extremely slippery, but this slash seemed endless.
Wait a minute …
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yi Yun's mind. The surrounding chaotic environment seemed to instantly calm down.
Time instantly slowed down, but Yi Yun's mind was extremely clear.
From picking herbs on the cliff, to the sudden change of scenery into a graveyard, to groups of corpses charging at him, he kept killing them.
All of these changes were extremely strange.
There must be a demon behind all these abnormalities!
Yi Yun's heart palpitated. He looked around and saw that the corpses were still charging at him. But when he looked carefully at the corpses …
Strangely, Yi Yun felt a sense of déjà vu.
The corpse … looked familiar??
"Pu!"
A corpse clawed at Yi Yun, but Yi Yun watched helplessly. He did not attack, nor did he dodge …
This claw tore through Yi Yun's flesh and went straight through Yi Yun's body!
Ouch!
It was very painful.
However, Yi Yun stood there as though he was possessed. He didn't care that his chest was being scratched by the rotten corpse. Instead, he closed his eyes.
With his spiritual energy interfacing with the Purple Crystal, he opened his eyes. Yi Yun's vision turned white.
He could only see energy. There was no illusion, it was the essence!
The rotten corpses had all disappeared. It should be said that they never existed!
All of this was an illusion.
Why did it feel familiar? That was because Yi Yun had seen it in movies and novels in his previous life. He saw many rotten corpses crawling out of the graveyard and attacking the main character.
This scene could be said to be the most common one.
This memory was condensed in Yi Yun's mind. Now, it appeared and became an illusion that attacked Yi Yun!
That was to say, what Yi Yun saw was something from his memory. That was why it felt so familiar.
But, why was he like this?
Who created these illusions?
Once a cultivator entered the herb mountain in the Tai Ah Divine City to pick herbs, the entrance would be sealed. Usually, no outsiders would enter.
Then … could it be caused by the Blood Yang Flower?
No, in the "Divine wilderness" book, there was a detailed description of the Blood Yang Flower. The Blood Yang Flower did not have this ability.
The Blood Yang Flower's ability was to extend its leaves when it was safe to breathe in pure Yang Qi. When danger approached, it would hide its leaves and hide itself.
This was a very simple ability. It could not even be called an ability. Spiritual herbs were not like desolate beasts. Those general-ranked or king-ranked desolate beasts could easily wipe out a tribe. As for primordial species, they could destroy an entire city.
But spiritual herbs were usually not dangerous.
No matter how high a spiritual herb's grade was, once it was picked, it would just be a treasure waiting to be placed into a cauldron.
But the problem was, to pick a high grade spiritual herb was not easy!
If it was not the Blood Yang Flower that made him produce such an illusion, then what could it be?
Yi Yun pushed his spiritual energy to its limits. The Purple Crystal's vision became clearer!
All the interference was gone. Yi Yun finally saw two energy blobs in his energy vision.
The bigger blob was the size of a washbasin. It was blood red in color and it burned like a flame. This was the energy of the Blood Yang Flower!
Yi Yun had planned on picking the Blood Yang Flower, but before he could get it, he suddenly encountered the graveyard and the endless number of corpses.
And not far from the Blood Yang Flower, there was an energy blob that shocked Yi Yun.
The energy blob was long and about a foot long. It was as thick as a wrist.
Its energy was very obscure. Compared to the Blood Yang Flower's energy, it was much dimmer. But this dimmer energy made Yi Yun shudder!
This was because the purity of the energy contained within was far beyond Yi Yun's imagination!
Only in the Wilderness Divine Hall, the energy Yi Yun absorbed from the three-headed lion roc could compare with it in terms of purity.
What is this?
A spiritual herb of the same purity as a primordial species, could it be …
A thought flashed across Yi Yun's mind. This thought made his heart beat faster and his breathing quickened.
Could it be a primordial herb?
Above Heaven-ranked herbs, there were primordial herbs, immortal herbs, primal herbs and other divine herbs.
Even the sages of the human race would be tempted by these precious herbs!
In the Tai Ah Divine City, there were Divine City Elders who would leave the Tai Ah Divine City from time to time to search for herbs in the herb mountain. At their level, Heaven, Earth, Mystic and Yellow ranked herbs were no longer useful. What they searched for was naturally a primordial herb!
Primordial herbs were difficult to pick, but to the Divine City Elders, with their cultivation level and means, as long as they found a primordial herb, they would be able to pick it.
But the crux of the matter was … they could not find it!
Even in the Tai Ah Divine City herb mountain, there were too few primordial herbs. They could only be chanced upon!
And the crux of the matter was that many primordial herbs had gained sentience. They had all sorts of ways to hide themselves and confuse their enemies. Even if you walked past them, you would not know!
Human sages had keen senses. Even a person like Zhong Yi, who had absolute talent in perception, could not compare with a human sage.
But the problem was that the primordial herbs would hide far away after the human sage entered the herb mountain. There was no chance for the human sage to find or pick them.
And because of this reason, it was not easy for a human sage to pick a primordial herb!
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Yi Yun's mind as his heart raced!
Calm down! I need to calm down!
Yi Yun warned himself. He knew that this was a peerless opportunity placed in front of him.
If he could pick this herb, there would be great benefits waiting for him!
But picking this herb was easier said than done!
Yi Yun's cultivation level was too low. What was easy for a human sage to pick was extremely difficult for him!
But there were benefits to having a low cultivation level!
Since the primordial herb had gained sentience, it probably had a certain level of intelligence. It should be able to tell the herb-picker's strength and weakness.
It was because Yi Yun was weak that it did not take him seriously. It dared to appear in front of Yi Yun and even used its illusions to fool Yi Yun.
If a human sage was here, it would have run as far as it could. Using illusions in front of a human sage was courting death.
Yi Yun's greatest advantage was that the opponent underestimated him!
Of course, the primordial herb did not know that Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal, allowing him to pinpoint its location.
"What should I do?"
Yi Yun's brain quickly turned.
He no longer looked at the primordial herb. Since it had gained sentience, looking at it would probably be discovered by it, making it wary.
"I'll pretend that I can't find its location and take my time!"
With this plan, Yi Yun seemed to be muddle-headed in the illusion, unable to tell north from south.
At the same time, Yi Yun maintained his energy vision. He was secretly observing the primordial herb from the corner of his eye.
Yi Yun realized that the primordial herb was loitering nearby, as if it was watching a good show.
This guy!
How could Yi Yun feel comfortable being fooled by a herb?
Oh?
Yi Yun suddenly realized that the Blood Yang Flower had secretly moved to a hidden corner of the mountain. It had burrowed back into the ground and sunk even deeper.
Yi Yun suddenly understood that the primordial herb had used its illusion to confuse him so that it could snatch the Blood Yang Flower from his hands.
The moment he picked the Blood Yang Flower, the primordial herb had appeared. It was clearly not a coincidence.
Maybe it was trying to protect the Blood Yang Flower. It was even possible that the primordial herb had chanced upon the Blood Yang Flower and raised it, keeping it for its own absorption.
Some primordial herbs would nurture some high grade spirit herbs and slowly seize their energy essence for their own growth!
It was like some primordial desolate beasts that would guard a herb for thousands of years until it bore fruit before swallowing it whole.
Yi Yun suspected that this primordial herb was in such a situation!
