Free Web NovelChapter 581: Chapter 292: Journey to the West Mountain Floating Domain
Behind him, there was no one.
Because the purpose of this trip was to retrieve what was left of the Blood Demon Sect and eliminate any witnesses in the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
As one of the renowned Spirit Suppressing Generals, in order not to tarnish his reputation and cause unnecessary complications, Lin Zhuo naturally couldn’t bring anyone along. However, just after leaving the Traceless Mountain Range by three thousand miles, a strong sense of celestial disturbance arose in his heart, prompting Lin Zhuo to immediately stop and set up a barrier around him.
"I used the excuse of a secluded retreat to travel, and the entire West Mountain Floating Domain is aware, so why would someone dare use the Celestial Secret Infinite Technique to contact me?" Lin Zhuo frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
The Celestial Secret Infinite Technique is the exclusive messaging technique of the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion, capable of transmitting messages over five hundred thousand miles. It is only used for major or emergency matters due to its considerable cost.
Even ordinary Golden Core Zhenren find it hard to bear.
It consumes essence blood, burns Spirit Stones, and requires a third-level Celestial Secret Spiritual Artifact to use. A single message transmission can cost nearly two hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones in total expenditure and damage to the third-level Celestial Secret Spiritual Artifact.
Apart from the cost, the most critical aspect is that the celestial surge appears in the recipient’s heart, potentially affecting them if they are in secluded cultivation. If in the midst of a realm breakthrough, the risk is even greater. Therefore, most people dare not use it. If misused, this messaging technique can become a harmful method. However, those who have learned it in the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion are not ordinary Golden Cores and are aware of its power. Yet the person still used this technique, indicating the urgency of the message.
After halting, Lin Zhuo quickly performed a hand seal to draw out the anxious celestial feeling in his heart, then retrieved a slate Celestial Secret Spiritual Artifact to display the information.
However.
In the next moment, the ominous feeling instantly vanished.
In its place was shock and anger.
[Brother Lin, in East Pole Immortal City, Zang Qianjian’s soul lamp suddenly extinguished. While passing through East Pole Immortal City, I took the liberty to divinate the cause and learned he died outside the West Mountain Floating Domain, with soul extinguished and body perished, absolutely no possibility of survival.
According to celestial indications, it was the work of a corpse cultivator, but his celestial destiny is extremely profound, not involving Nascent Soul yet thicker than a Nascent Soul’s celestial fate. Upon further investigation, I could only determine his location as being within the Divine Fall Mountain Range. To trace his origin and background, even consuming a thousand years of life isn’t enough to track it down.
——Three Phases]
"How could it be?"
"Zang Qianjian had considerable foundations and secretly crafted a Spirit Suppressing Army Puppet. Even though he isn’t afraid of all the power a Late Stage Golden Core could wield, he still had two or three tenths of a Late Stage Golden Core’s power. How could he fall in the Divine Fall Mountain Range?"
After learning it was the work of a corpse cultivator and that the corpse cultivator’s foundation and origin had celestial strength deep enough to surpass a Nascent Soul, the anger on Lin Zhuo’s face gradually transformed into calm contemplation.
"It seems Zang Qianjian’s message was not false. Indeed, there is a Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s inheritance within the grotto heaven, but the situation seems more troublesome than I anticipated." Lin Zhuo calmly pondered, wiping away all the anger that could cloud his judgment.
He had lived over seven hundred years.
He had seen far too much, and even though the situation was tricky, Lin Zhuo still had no intention of retreating.
Moreover, in Lin Zhuo’s view, the tougher the situation, the heavier the weight of the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s inheritance, and it might even involve the cultivation technique for the Blood Phoenix External Demon’s demonic qi. If he could obtain this earth-shattering technique renowned in the upper regions of the Hundred Floating Domains, even a mere glimpse of it would be immensely beneficial to him.
With this thought, Lin Zhuo hurriedly used the Celestial Secret Infinite Technique to send a message to Three Phases.
[Brother Three Phases, please keep this matter confidential and do not let a third party know. Upon my return, there shall be great rewards.
——Lin Zhuo]
After transmitting the secret message, Lin Zhuo swallowed a Tier Three Top Grade Concealing Elixir, concealing his cultivation to the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, while descending to low altitude for a slow flying escape, disguising himself as an ordinary cultivator.
...
The following day.
After leaving the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks from East Spring Undying Bone, Wen Jiu began controlling two corpses to hastily return towards the Little Demon Realm.
While controlling the Formless Demon Corpse to help East Spring Undying Bone recover its split souls, he started packing everything in the cave dwelling, such as Evil Corpses, Blood Corpse Mushrooms, Earth Demons, and so on. In short, anything that could be taken was taken.
With Zang Qianjian’s death and the Yinzhou Heterodox Record in hand, it was time to begin packing up and leaving. As for the reward from the Three Life Gates, they could let East Spring Undying Bone return to collect it later. The most important thing was that Lin Zhuo had already left the Traceless Mountain Range and entered the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks territory. If they didn’t leave now, who knows if Lin Zhuo might cause trouble in the Little Demon Realm?
Once they packed almost everything, Wen Jiu then sent a message to summon Feng Jue, also stepping out to remind Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an to start packing and not to leave their cave dwelling even a step in the coming days.
Upon receiving Wen Jiu’s orders, the two dared not delay or ask questions, promptly turning back to their cave dwellings to start packing.
At this moment, Feng Jue had just officially broken through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven and was discussing with Han Tianxing the capture of an opportunity to plan for Foundation Establishment Perfection. Upon receiving Wen Jiu’s message, he immediately left the cave heaven, returning to Lengxi Mountain. Initially, Feng Jue hesitated, but Han Tianxing feared he might reprimand him.
"Hurry up and go see Han Li, what are you dawdling for?" Han Tianxing immediately scolded.
Feng Jue stood up and asked incredulously, "Elder, you never treated Han Li this way before, you always told me to see less of him?"
"Times have changed." After discovering last time that the supposed Du the Corpse Cultivator was merely an external item of Han Li, his attitude towards Han Li had completely changed. He felt some fear, but even more, he thought it was an opportunity.
An enormous opportunity.
He knew well that Han Li wasn’t someone who easily communicated via messages, so his sudden message indicated an important matter.
