"They would come once a month, with the goal of getting the Divine Crown. Although they would all die every time, they did not give up. The first time, I did not have time to defend myself, and they broke one of my legs. I could only use my broken blade as a crutch to walk. After that, I became smarter, and dug a hole in this tree, and set up some enchantments to conceal my Qi. Every time they came, I would sense them beforehand, and hide here."
Cheng Xie said in a terrified voice.
Su Yun secretly stuck half of his face out of the tree hole, and carefully sized up the Evil Realm people that were coming over. They were dressed in brown armor, and their bodies were like black spirits. Every single one of them had a sinister smile on their faces. Both of their feet were a foot off the ground, and they gently floated over.
There was no sound at all.
"Is it really safe here?"
Su Yun asked.
"It was definitely safe in the past, but I'm not sure now. But they know of my existence, and they are not in a rush to kill me. Instead, they want to capture me, and torture me. That is the joy of being an Evil Realm person."
Cheng Xie said.
"I see that they are only at the tenth stage of the Spirit Core Disciple Realm. They are still a step away from the Spirit Soul Disciple Realm. There are a total of 12 of them. How can such a team enter the shrine to search for treasures?"
"Although they are a team in name to search for treasures, but in truth, they are only here to scout."
"Scout? Scout for information about the shrine's terrain? "
"That's right! The shrine is ultimately my master's territory. There are many traps inside, enchantments everywhere. Forget about the Spirit Core Disciple Realm, even a Spirit Soul Disciple Realm cultivator might not be able to safely obtain the Divine Crown. I reckon that only a Spirit Star Realm cultivator can enter. Maybe after they scout the terrain, the almighty being will take action. "
"They are all dead in the shrine. How can they send the information out?"
"Very simple. They have mirror imprints on them. The almighty being can see everything in their line of sight. This almighty being is an expert in sneak attacks. Every time he makes a move, he will make preparations. He is so cautious, and that is the reason why my master could not defeat him."
"That's similar to me."
Su Yun said shamelessly.
Ga!!!
Just then, a horrifying sound came out from the side of the tree.
Su Yun and Cheng Xie anxiously held their breaths. The two of them did not dare to make a sound. Cold sweat trickled down as they listened to the movements around them.
These Evil Realm people were all flying in the air, walking without a sound. They had no way of knowing when they were near, and only when they were near, could they hear the weird breathing sounds of the Evil Realm people.
Gradually, the sound of breathing faded into the distance. The two of them continued to hide in the tree hole for a full hour before carefully making their way out.
"They shouldn't be coming back, right?"
Su Yun looked at the road behind the tree hole and said.
"They will be buried in the divine hall. They will be affected by the turbid energy within the divine hall and turn into evil beings within the divine hall, forever wandering within the divine hall."
Cheng Xie crawled out of the tree hole, using the broken blade to support himself, his voice trembling as he spoke.
Hearing that, Su Yun's brain spun a few times, and thought: "If that's the case, in the future when we get the Divine Crown for you, maybe we can use them!"
Hearing that, Cheng Xie anxiously nodded his head: "Human, you're right. When the time comes, you can follow them into the divine hall and wait for the chance to get the Divine Crown."
"But it's just a fantasy now. A group of tenth stage Spirit Core Disciple cultivators are all buried there. I'm just a second stage Spirit Core Disciple cultivator. Isn't that courting death? So let's just cultivate first. "
Su Yun said and walked away.
Cheng Xie did not say anything, and followed Su Yun back to the forest. He anxiously ran into the forest, and came to the big tree that was filled with Mortal Spirit Fruits.
Just then, the big tree was shining with red light, and waves of mournful wails could be heard.
Cheng Xie ran over and raised his head. His black face immediately changed, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Around every Mortal Spirit Fruit on the tree, there was a large number of blood swords. These swords were not even an inch long, but they were revolving around the Mortal Spirit Fruits at high speed, and continuously slashing at them.
The Mortal Spirit Fruits were shaking crazily, and the faces on the fruits were all twisted, as though they were in pain.
"These are Spirit Swords, they can cause harm to the soul, but it is not fatal. They are experiencing the pain of being cut into thousands of pieces."
Cheng Xie knelt on the ground, and screamed in pain, as though he was suffering from the pain of the swords.
He was the only one left from the glory of the past. His companions all ended up like this, and he could only watch and not do anything. This feeling of being powerless was the most painful.
Su Yun looked at Cheng Xie quietly, and did not say anything. He took a deep breath, and turned to leave.
On the second day, the Spirit Swords disappeared, and the Mortal Spirit Fruits finally quietened down, but Cheng Xie was much less talkative than before.
He still did not feel tired, and used his leg that did not show any signs of injury to limp to look for food. The Mortal Spirit Fruits were exchanged for powerful medicinal ingredients for Su Yun, and Su Yun accepted them without hesitation.
After the Evil Realm people passed through the forest, they did not return. Su Yun once again resumed his peaceful cultivation life.
As time passed, the Mortal Spirit Fruits in the forest became lesser, and Su Yun's cultivation became stronger.
Half a year later.
Su Yun who was immersed in cultivation leaped into the tenth stage of the Spirit Core Disciple.
The Everlasting Stone's consolidation, Hu Qian Mei's physique's enhancement, adding on the Evil Realm's unique and powerful materials, and the help of the Spirit Spring, his cultivation soared.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. The most difficult part of cultivation for a Spirit Cultivator was the two stages.
The cultivation stage.
The stage after the Spirit Soul Disciple.
And in between these two stages, it was the best place for Spirit Cultivators to cultivate. Talented people would be able to progress without any obstacles. This was also the reason why Qing Er could quickly enter the Spirit Core Disciple realm when she entered the main house. Her talent was not bad, and the conditions were good, so how could her cultivation not improve crazily?
But now, she was stuck at the tenth stage of cultivation. To jump into the Spirit Soul Disciple realm, it was not something that could be achieved with hard work and pills. It required a fortuitous encounter, or an extremely long time of accumulation.
Su Yun was not anxious. The current Profound Spirit Qi in his body had reached an extreme state. Because of the Monarch Occult Force, the Spirit Spring and the unique Qi of the Evil Realm, the Evil Spirit Essences in Su Yun's body had increased to more than nine thousand, and was about to break ten thousand. The Profound Spirit Qi in his body was no longer dominated by Pure Divine Spirit Qi, but by Evil Spirit Qi.
Because his body was filled with Evil Qi, his face became even paler, and threads of Evil Qi leaked out from his pores.
Not only that, under the support of the strong Evil Spirit Qi, the number of flying swords he could control also increased. Previously, he only had a hundred swords, but now, he could control four hundred and ninety-nine wooden swords to attack.
Following this trend, it was just a matter of time before he could enter the second sword of the Limitless Sword Arts.
Today, was the day that the almighty being had sent the Evil Realm people to investigate the shrine.
Su Yun had stayed here for close to a year. The Evil Realm people that came to investigate the shrine came one after another, and Su Yun and Cheng Xie already knew when they would arrive. Every time they approached, the two of them would not go to the tree hole, but chose to hide in the Black Evil Cave Mansion.
Now was no exception. Cheng Xie and Su Yun wore their black cloaks, and headed straight to the Black Evil Cave Mansion.
Before leaving, Cheng Xie specially went into the forest, and kowtowed to the spirit fruits ten times, then plucked one and kept it in his pocket. He was prepared to go to the Black Evil Cave Mansion to exchange for some treasures for Su Yun to train.
There were only seven spirit fruits left, and these were the souls of the last seven guards by the master's side.
Looking at Cheng Xie's heavy expression, Su Yun took a deep breath, and asked softly: "Aren't you afraid that after I cultivate, I will reject your request, and not go to the shrine to get the Divine Crown for you?"
Cheng Xie was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"Afraid! Haha, of course I'm afraid. Human, if that's the case, then I will lose everything, including my faith! "
"Then why do you trust me?"
"Do I have a choice?"
Cheng Xie raised his hand and patted the weak leg, and laughed: "A weak and unloyal crippled Evil Realm person, how long can you live in the Evil Realm? If I don't trust you, then who should I trust? "
Su Yun turned his head, and did not speak.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the Black Evil Cave Mansion.
There were many Evil Realm people around the cave mansion, exchanging for items. Under the intimidation of the almighty being, this was the only place that could give people a sense of security. Of course, in here, you had to be humble.
Cheng Xie was like that. Along the way, he kept his head down, and did not dare to look at anyone, afraid that he would provoke them.
In the entire Black Evil Cave Mansion, Cheng Xie's cultivation was the weakest. Luckily, the master of the cave mansion was powerful, and the Evil Realm people did not dare to cause trouble.
But sometimes, this deterrence wasn't absolute.
In front, a group of Evil Realm people walked over, a total of six people. When they walked over, the surrounding Evil Realm people did not make any moves to welcome the Thousand Eyed Evil Lord, but they all lowered their heads, and stopped talking, afraid of offending them.
"Why is it this guy?"
Cheng Xie's face changed, he anxiously lowered his head, and pulled Su Yun to the side.
Su Yun had a face of suspicion, but he knew that Cheng Xie would not harm him, so he followed his instructions, and stood by the side, waiting for the people to pass.
These people looked left and right, their faces full of pride and complacency. This was the pride of a strong martial artist. They could control the life and death of the weak, and that was something to be proud of.
"Cheng Xie?"
Suddenly, the Evil Realm people who were walking over saw them, and the leader's face was slightly startled, and immediately shouted out.
Su Yun could clearly feel Cheng Xie's body shivering, but he still took off his cape, and respectfully bowed to the few people, his mouth full of respect: "Cheng Xie greets the masters."
"What masters? Master, there's only me! "
The leader kicked Cheng Xie's abdomen, causing him to flip, and then stepped on his boneless leg.
Cheng Xie cried out in pain, but he did not dare to resist, and did not even dare to scold or complain.
Even if he resisted, the matter would blow up, and no one would help Cheng Xie, and he would still be the one to suffer.
"The thing that I instructed you to do, have you done it?"
The leader of the Evil Realm people's face revealed a cold smile, and said softly: "Pluck all the spirit fruits and give them to me, you should still remember my words right? These few years, I left the Black Evil Cave Mansion, and did not meet you. I just came back recently, and coincidentally met you. Then, where are the fruits? Did you bring them? "
"Master, master, the fruits are still on the tree, Cheng Xie did not dare to pluck the fruits, if the fruits leave the tree, and do not consume it within two hours, it will lose its effect, and will not be able to increase my cultivation, so, so, Cheng Xie decided to see master first, and then, and then, I will give you the fruits."
Cheng Xie broke out in cold sweat, and shouted while trembling.
The leader heard, and loosened his leg, his face revealing a sneer: "Since it's like that, then I order you to come next time, give me all the spirit fruits, if not, I will take your other leg bone away!"
Finished, he waved his hand, and led the rest of the Evil Realm people away.
Su Yun walked a few steps forward, and helped Cheng Xie up.
Cheng Xie's face did not have much anger, only fear, but very quickly, he regained his composure, as though he was used to the days of being bullied.
Previously, Su Yun had clearly seen that when he was kicked to the ground by the man, his body had curled up, protecting the Mortal Spirit Fruit in the bag.
The two of them continued forward, only to see Cheng Xie in front of a cave, and chatted with an Evil Realm person, then took out the spirit fruit he was protecting, and gave it to the Evil Realm person, in exchange for a bag of ingredients for Su Yun.
After obtaining the ingredients, he would immediately leave, as though he was afraid of seeing the fruit being devoured by the Evil Realm person.
After exchanging for the items, and calculating the time, the group of Evil Realm people should have left, Su Yun and Cheng Xie quickly left the Black Evil Cave Mansion, and returned to the forest.
