Free Web NovelChapter 250: Black Wind Mountain Range
As Tang Yin looked at the map of the Exotic Enclosure Region, he very quickly found his target.
A specific area, namely the Black Wind Mountain Range was the closest area to Tang Yin. It was one of the most commonly explored areas of the Exotic Enclosure Region.
It was not too dangerous compared to the other areas, and it housed a decent amount of resources such as Medicinal Herbs, precious ores, exotic Demonic Beasts, bizarre treasures etc.
Therefore, many of the weaker Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators scoured the Black Wind Mountain Range for serendipities and fortunes. Of course, due to everyone coming to the mountain range, there were many casualties due to greed.
The unlucky cultivators who ran into stronger cultivators in the Black Wind Mountain Range were almost always killed and plundered. However, this made Tang Yin’s job easier.
The cultivators that killed and plundered others would accumulate a large amount of treasures and resources, this made it simpler for Tang Yin as he did not have to search every nook and cranny for cultivators. He could target these fat sheep who were carrying several cultivators’ worth of resources with them.
He could save time, effort and energy. However, the only disadvantage to this was that he would not obtain many Spirit Ascension Realm corpses and souls. However, this did not matter for Tang Yin who already possessed a terrifying amount of wealth.
Upon consolidating his plan, Tang Yin and Xiao Fei rode the Crimson Feathered Luan to swiftly arrive in the Black Wind Mountain Range.
The Black Wind Mountain Range was a very normal-looking mountain range with lush greenery and abundant vegetation. However, its Spirit Qi levels were through the roof. Even the most desolate areas of the mountain range contained an absurd amount of Spirit Qi, this was the primary reason for there being so many resources and treasures present in the Black Wind Mountain Range.
Tang Yin spread out his divine sense and utilized the Heaven Piercing Gaze to search for cultivators.
Due to the newfound power of his soul, Tang Yin’s divine sense was multiple times more powerful than in the past. It could now cover an omni-directional radius of 10 kilometres around him.
Furthermore, Tang Yin was confident that almost all of the Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators in the Exotic Enclosure Region would be unable to hide from his divine sense. Of course, a few select individuals who possessed a vast variety of methods at their disposal could perhaps avoid his detection.
But these individuals were most likely not in the Black Wind Mountain Range. They were probably travelling to other areas to search for a higher class of treasures.
Due to the Crimson Feathered Luan’s speed, it did not take long for Tang Yin to find his first victim.
It was a middle-aged man with a refined facial appearance. He wore elegant robes and was wielding a shining white sword. He was currently engaged in a battle with a Low-tier Rank 5 Demonic Beast, he seemed to have the advantage.
Tang Yin recognized this person, he was one of the Divine Sword Palace disciples who was standing on the 1,000 feet large Tier 4 sword Artifact which belonged to the Vice Palace Master of the Divine Sword Palace.
He only had Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivation and did not seem to be anything special.
Tang Yin told Xiao Fei and the Crimson Feathered Luan to descend quite a distance away from the Divine Sword Palace disciple. He then went alone to kill him.
Upon arriving at the scene, Tang Yin saw the refined middle-aged man standing beside the corpse of the Low-tier Rank 5 Demonic Spirit he had just slaughtered. It was inside a large clearing of trees.
The Divine Sword Palace disciple noticed Tang Yin who did not bother to hide his arrival. However, he just stood there in a daze. His blue pupils slowly shrank until they became unnoticeable.
Tang Yin’s left eye was sparkling with a golden light whilst his right eye was glimmering with a blue glint. Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art!
Tang Yin’s primary soul alone was equivalent to an Early-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator’s soul. With its power, trapping an Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator in an illusion was child’s play.
Tang Yin slowly approached the Divine Sword Palace disciple. He first stowed away the corpse of the Low-tier Rank 5 Demonic Beast into his storage ring. Then he slowly unfurled the Divine Sword Palace disciple’s storage ring from his index finger.
Upon taking the storage ring, Tang Yin inspected it. There was not much inside, only a few precious herbs and many Low-tier Rank 5 Demonic Beast corpses. Clearly, this disciple had not been very lucky in his encounters during the past 3 days.
Tang Yin did not mind though, he transferred everything to his own storage ring. He then turned his attention to the Divine Sword Palace disciple who was still stuck inside his Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art.
He placed his hand on his skull and employed Soul Plunder. It was just as he had expected, this Divine Sword Palace disciple was unlucky, he did not find many resources during the past 3 days.
Tang Yin grabbed the Divine Sword Palace disciple’s neck. He crushed it with brute force, separating it from his shoulders.
Before the headless body could even fall over, Tang Yin stored it away in his storage ring.
He sent the Heaven Devouring Abyss into the refined middle-aged man’s head, swiftly devouring his soul, Soul Sea and Martial Spirit.
Tang Yin absorbed everything with the Soul Refinement Technique. However, the increment in strength was not large, his soul was just too powerful, and an Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator’s soul was not nutritious enough anymore.
With a sigh, Tang Yin returned to the Crimson Feathered Luan.
During the whole time, the Divine Sword Palace disciple had been stuck in the Sun-Moon Great Illusion. He did not even know that he had died.
Tang Yin jumped onto the Crimson Feathered Luan’s back. Xiao Fei commanded it to delve deeper into the Black Wind Mountain Range.
During the journey, the trio had to make many detours. The reason for this was quite simple. Tang Yin had found some resources within the perception of his divine sense, it was worth it to make to a detour to collect these precious resources. In any case, it only took less than a minute to collect each one.
Putting this aside, Tang Yin very quickly found his next victim.
It was another middle-aged man, Tang Yin remembered him standing atop the Rank 6 crimson eagle Demonic Beast alongside the Martial Beast Sect’s Head Elder. freёwebnovel.com
His cultivation was low, only at the Mid-stage of the Spirit Ascension Realm.
Tang Yin applied the same method as last time. He engulfed the Martial Beast Sect disciple inside the Sun-Moon Great Illusion. He then proceeded to take his storage ring and relocate all of its contents to his own storage ring.
After doing this, Tang Yin directly killed him by decapitation. Employing Soul Plunder, Tang Yin obtained the Martial Beast Sect disciple’s memory and a fraction of his lifespan.
The middle-aged man’s soul, Soul Sea and Martial Spirit were then devoured by the Heaven Devouring Abyss. The Soul Refinement Technique transformed all of the soul force into pure power to increase the strength of Tang Yin’s soul.
It was much more nutritious than the Divine Sword Palace disciple’s soul. But it was not enough to allow his primary soul to reach the Mid-stage of the Principle Comprehension Realm.
Tang Yin casually returned to the Crimson Feathered Luan. Under Xiao Fei’s command, it flew around every inch of the Black Wind Mountain Range.
Due to the Black Wind Mountain Range’s sheer size, it took the Crimson Feathered Luan a whole day to cover the entire mountain range despite its insane speed.
During the whole day, Tang Yin manually harvested any precious Medicinal Herbs, ores and resources which had not been discovered yet. All of this took approximately an hour in total.
Tang Yin spent the rest of the time searching for cultivators. He had managed to find 12 Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators inside the Black Wind Mountain Range, including the first 2.
They compromised of 6 Early-stage, 4 Mid-stage and 2 Late-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators. The strongest was a peak Late-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator of the Alchemy Association.
Tang Yin used the exact same method to deal with all of them, the Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art. Due to the power of his soul, even Peak-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators would struggle to escape the grasp of the Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art.
The harvest surprised even Tang Yin. His primary soul’s strength advanced to the Mid-stage Principle Comprehension Realm due to devouring the souls, Soul Seas and Martial Spirits of 12 Spirit Ascension cultivators.
Tang Yin made sure not to let the second soul Devour any soul force. Therefore, it remained in the Early-stage of the Principle Comprehension Realm.
The second-best harvest during the day was the sheer amount of precious and rare resources he had obtained from all 12 of the cultivators. There were over a hundred rare Medicinal Herbs, tons of precious ore, and even various valuable carcasses of exotic Demonic Beasts. All of this had either been excavated or plundered from other cultivators during the past 3 days.
The third best harvest was the 12 Spirit Ascension Realm corpses, they would contribute hugely to increasing the strength of Tang Yin’s Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique later on.
