Nine Ghosts Revival Technique
After a while, Old Gu also woke up.
When he saw Chu Xingyun and Qian Yuxin, his eyes were full of confusion.
It turned out that when he entered the Secret Realm, he was enveloped by a black smoke and entered into an endless illusion. As for what happened after that, he had no idea.
"This secret realm is actually so dangerous. Not only are there spirit beasts sneaking up on us, but we also have to be on guard against this black smoke at all times. Young Master, we should leave immediately in case we encounter any danger," Old Man Gu said, his face full of fear.
"The Yin-Yang Spirit Sealing Formation that seals the Secret Realm has been completely closed. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave." Chu Xingyun looked at Old Gu and said, "Moreover, the black smoke went through so much trouble to lead you here. Will it let you leave so easily?"
"What do you mean?" Old Gu vaguely felt something. His body trembled like a sieve. When he looked at the palace in front of him, there was nothing but fear in his eyes.
Qian Yuxin was relatively calm. She took a deep breath and pulled out the Qingfeng Longsword. Holding it tightly in her hand, she said, "Since we can't leave, we can only kill our way out. Even if we die, it's better than being frightened like this."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun looked at Qian Yuxin with surprise. He didn't expect that Qian Yuxin would say such words. She did have some heroism.
He smiled and went straight to the front of the huge palace. He stretched out his hands and suddenly exerted force in front of him.
Boom!
The door of the palace suddenly opened, revealing a long passageway. Compared to the majestic palace, this passageway was filled with a gloomy aura of death.
"What a thick death aura!" Qian Yuxin and Old Gu frowned.
The two of them looked forward. The entire hall was filled with white skeletons that led all the way to the deepest part of the hall. These skeletons all belonged to humans. Almost none of them were complete. They laid on the ground like a white sea.
Compared to the shock of the two, Chu Xingyun didn't have much expression on his face. In his dark eyes, there was a flash of understanding. He seemed to understand something.
"This Death Qi is unusual. Young Master, you must be careful." Old Man Gu's voice was trembling as he spoke. He released the Baleful Yin Energy and let it surround his body. It was as if that would make him feel safer.
The three of them slowly walked to the center of the hall. Chu Xingyun frowned and shouted, "Come out! Stop pretending to be mysterious!"
Hu hu hu!
A frenzied nethergale swept past, closing the doors of the palace. Within the main hall, ghostly green flames rose into the air, causing the entire space to become abnormally terrifying and eerie.
"You actually discovered me. The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
A figure slowly appeared and walked in front of the three of them, revealing an indescribably beautiful face. She was dressed in black and had a graceful figure. Even if she moved casually, it would cause people to be aroused.
When Chu Xingyun saw this woman, his lips curled into a faint smile. He said, "Nine Ghosts Spirit Revitalization Technique. You are indeed from the Nine Ghosts Sect."
The woman in black was still flirting. When she heard Chu Xingyun's words, her expression changed drastically. She said in surprise, "Little brat, how do you know about the Nine Ghosts Sect and the Nine Ghosts Spirit Revitalization Technique?"
The so-called Nine Ghosts Sect was a sect that specialized in cultivating the Ghost Dao.
This sect wasn't in the Northern Wilderness Region. Instead, it was in the Abysmal Region, which was tens of millions of miles away from the Northern Wilderness Region. Its actions were secretive and its mountain gate was hidden. Even the people of the Abysmal Region rarely knew about it.
"There is no Yin and Yang, only the Death Qi. This is the specialty of the Nine Ghosts Spirit Revitalization Technique. I only need to glance at it and I can easily see through it. However, your Nine Ghosts Spirit Revitalization Technique doesn't seem to have mastered it. It has only been accumulated for a hundred years." Chu Xingyun's eyes were like torches as he completely saw through the woman in black.
"What did you mean when you said all this?" The strange scene in front of her made Qian Yuxin scratch her head in confusion. She couldn't help but ask.
Not only her, but Old Gu was also the same. He was shocked to find that the face of the woman in black had become extremely pale. She seemed to have been completely stunned by Chu Xingyun.
"In the Nine Nether Region, there is a hidden sect called the Nine Ghosts Sect. This sect is skilled in the evil arts of the Ghost Dao and specializes in evil deeds. The Nine Ghosts Spirit Rejuvenation Technique that I spoke of is the Nine Ghosts Sect's inherited cultivation technique."
"This technique is extremely strange. The person who cultivates it must reach the Ninth Sky of the Sky Spirit Realm. The scene of Yin and Yang will appear in their body. When the Yin and Yang Qi fuse and they are about to enter the Yin Yang Realm, the Nine Ghosts Spirit Revitalization Technique will devour the Yin and Yang Qi, causing the cultivator to lose all of their vitality. Only the Death Qi will remain in their body."
Chu Xingyun's casual words caused Qian Yuxin's gaze to freeze. She said in astonishment, "Losing vitality and only having the Death Qi in their body? Doesn't that mean they have become a corpse?"
Death Qi was the Death Qi.
When a living being died, their body would begin to rot. That was also when the Death Qi would be released.
Chu Xingyun shook his head and smiled, "When a cultivator who cultivates the Nine Ghosts Spirit Revitalization Technique has Death Qi in their body, they won't die. Instead, they will become a living dead. They will find a place to hide and enter the living dead state. After ninety-nine years, when the Death Qi fills their body, they will awaken."
"When a living dead awakens, their body will change. Not only will it be as hard as iron, they won't feel any pain. What's even more shocking is that the living dead's cultivation method is not to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, but to devour the vitality of humans."
Devour vitality!
Qian Yuxin and Elder Gu sucked in a breath of cold air. Strictly speaking, such a method was no longer considered human. It was even more malevolent and terrifying than Spirit Beasts. It was extremely evil to cultivate by eating humans.
As his gaze fell onto the black-clothed woman, Chu Xingyun slowly said, "From the moment I stepped into the Sunset Cloud Valley, I felt the existence of the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation. At the same time, I also felt puzzled. With the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation's sealing power, it's almost impossible for Spirit Beasts and Spirit Materials to leak out. It's even more impossible for there to be consecutive abnormal phenomena."
"It was only when I entered the secret realm and saw the long bridge and the black smoke that contained the strange illusion technique that I understood. Actually, the so-called abnormal phenomena in the Sunset Cloud Valley, in the end, was a trap that you set up."
Chu Xingyun's tone suddenly became sharp. He said to the black-clothed woman, "Not long ago, you woke up from your deep slumber and successfully became a living dead. Then, you used the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation to purposely release Spirit Beasts and Spirit Materials in order to attract adventurers to the Sunset Cloud Valley."
"At that time, you opened the Yin Yang Spirit Sealing Formation and used the black smoke illusion to lure some adventurers into the secret realm. After that, you devoured the vitality of those adventurers to quickly recover your strength and get past the weak period when you just woke up. Am I right?"
After Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the black-clothed woman's expression became so gloomy that it seemed as if water was going to drip from it. She firmly stared at the skinny young man in front of her. With a single glance, she actually felt as if the world was spinning.
