第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百五十二章 爱他就要祝福他

Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his face turning grave. If he and Yue'er had not arrived at the Wudong River here, the danger would be much greater.

Although both were from one of the Three Holy Lands, this place was different from the Spirit Bird. There would be many powerful yin spirits and ghostly creatures here. He must find Qinxin quickly; even as an early-stage元婴 cultivator, she could still fall into extreme danger if he didn't.

Thinking thus, Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of anxiety. Yue'er returned to his sleeve, and Lin Xuan emitted a green glow, flying forward.

Somewhere far from here, Ouyang Qinxin slowly opened her eyes. Her delicate features revealed a look of confusion.

"Am I still alive?"

Ouyang clearly remembered the moment she was swallowed by the vortex. As an early-stage元婴 cultivator, even though her knowledge wasn't as extensive as Lin Xuan's, she had read about space vortices in ancient texts. At that time, she truly believed she was dead.

Unlike Lin Xuan, after entering the vortex, her consciousness became unclear until she finally regained it at Chapter 1.

There was nothing strange about this.

Considering their cultivation levels, Ouyang and Lin Xuan were vastly different, especially in terms of divine awareness. Thus, she naturally woke up later than he did.

Closing her eyes, Ouyang released her divine consciousness to understand the situation better before deciding how to proceed.

After about a cup of tea's time,

"Why is the yin energy so thick here? There are two small yin veins within a hundred miles. Could this be the Underworld?" Ouyang murmured doubtfully.

However, she quickly dismissed that idea.

Even though space vortices could tear through reality and drop her into the Underworld, it was uncertain if they were still in the Heavenly Clouds' Twelve States.

Thinking of this, Ouyang's expression turned grim. Her spider venom hadn't been completely removed; Lin Xuan had only temporarily suppressed it with his massage using the Azure Illusionary Fire. If she stayed too long, the venom could resurface at any moment. She must leave quickly.

What should she do?

Although not panicking, Ouyang felt some anxiety.

However, misfortune followed her as a piercing scream reached her ears.

The girl suddenly raised her head and saw numerous ghostly creatures appearing before her eyes.

In Youzhou, they had experienced the yin spirit calamity. Even though Ouyang hadn't formed an embryo at that time, she often faced fierce ghosts due to her importance in Biyun Mountain.

However, the ghosts and demons appearing now were even more terrifying, with a greater variety of types. Ouyang roughly counted about a hundred, including one early-stage元婴 cultivator.

Even without the spider venom, facing so many ghostly creatures alone would not give her much hope for victory. Moreover, she hadn't figured out where they were yet. She didn't want to engage in battle with them rashly.

Without hesitation, Ouyang's body was enveloped by a purple glow as she flew forward at incredible speed.

She felt somewhat relieved that she had already woken up; otherwise, if she encountered these ghosts while still unconscious...

At the same time,

A red light flashed. A small ghost, only a few inches tall with horns on its head, was gutted but no internal organs fell out, instantly turning into yin energy.

"Senior Brother, we've been in this ancient cave for over ten days without finding any clues except these ghosts. Don't you find it strange?" The speaker was a black-robed female cultivator whose face was obscured by a veil.

As she spoke, her hands formed hand seals, and the fiery sword flashed several times, slicing more small ghosts into halves.

"Indeed, this is strange. Red Cloud Valley has no bald monks from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, and there are clear signs of battle. Even the Heavenly Wuxing Formation was broken. Who could have dared to provoke the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect so brazenly?" A bearded elder nodded in agreement. He was the second senior of Tianqiao Sect.

"Senior Brother, what strong enemy came to the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect is none of our concern. I'm saying this cave is too strange. How can we find the trace of that treasure you mentioned? Who knows if it's here."

The veiled female cultivator gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction with her senior brother's sidetracking.

They naturally entered the strange cave, but unlike Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin, they hadn't encountered space vortices. However, as they delved deeper into the cave, many yin spirits emerged, posing no threat to their early-stage元婴 cultivation levels but causing them endless headaches due to their unending appearance.

Most importantly, after ten days in this cave, other than being harassed by ghosts, they had made no progress. This left the veiled female cultivator quite impatient.

"Sister, you're wrong. The person who provoked the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect almost certainly entered the cave as well. They might have the same goal. So figuring out their identity would be highly beneficial."

As he spoke, the elder flicked his fingers, and a blue lightning bolt shot from them. After swirling, it transformed into a ten-foot-long electric dragon that swept away all the ghosts with thunderous sounds.

A great cultivator's move was truly different.

"Sister, don't complain. The deeper this cave is to explore, the more benefits it brings me."

"What do you mean?" A strange look appeared in the veiled female cultivator's eyes.

"Think about it. The first two groups arrived before us. If there weren't so many anomalies here, their treasures would have been taken long ago. How could we get a chance?"

"Senior Brother, that makes sense. But what should we do now?"

"What to do? We must continue searching. If they find the treasure first, we'll ambush and steal it," the elder said viciously.

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang.

Both of them turned around. A large hole about ten feet in diameter suddenly appeared on the stone wall, some hundred feet away from them.

The bottom seemed to be endless, with an awe-inspiring suction force emanating from it.

"Space vortex."

The elder was terrified and quickly formed hand seals. Lightning flickered across his body as he used a rare lightning attribute cultivation technique.

As a great cultivator, his strength wasn't weak. Despite beads of sweat on his forehead, he managed to resist the suction force. However, the veiled female cultivator fared worse; she was sucked into the vortex with a whoosh.
