Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Zhang Huaidan strolled leisurely, following the faint trail.

With a concentration of yin energy one or two times higher, even an ordinary person who accidentally enters such a place would inevitably fall seriously ill, even if they returned immediately.

As for a level four or five times higher, it will completely reverse the yin-yang balance inside the human body, causing irreversible consequences.

Liu Ping's previous description was by no means exaggerated.

The idea that you could travel somewhere and come back dead might sound like a fantasy, but it's not an exaggeration.

Humans are born between heaven and earth, and relative to the whole world, ordinary people and extraordinary people are no different from ants.

The universe is constantly influencing and changing people.

Just as people living in hot places have darker skin and those living in cold places have lighter skin.

This change is independent of human will; it is the evolution of heaven and earth.

Zhang Huaidan pondered to himself, "The Corpse-Driving Clan does indeed have such places filled with yin energy."

However, the Yin energy in the world was too mixed and could not help him achieve the balance he wanted.

Only the Yin energy extracted from it can help oneself.

It can be said that there is always a way out. By chance, the Taiyin Jade Marrow obtained can continuously produce Taiyin Qi, which can play a role here.

If the Taiyin Jade Marrow were placed here, it would take twenty years to accumulate the same amount of resources that would take a hundred years to achieve in the Liu family's ancestral land.

only……

Zhang Huaidan felt somewhat helpless; twenty years was a long time for him.

'It would be better if the concentration of yin energy in this area increased a bit more.'

Zhang Huaidan thought to himself.

None of the people following behind him spoke; ever since they entered White Bone Ridge, they seemed to be shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

The human and animal bones that can be seen along the way prove that the name "White Bone Ridge" is not just a myth.

Liu Ping and Lin Zheng secretly groaned inwardly.

Why is the concentration of yin energy in this godforsaken place so high? It hasn't dissipated for over a hundred years. I wonder how much longer Master Huaidan can hold on.

At this moment, their minds were no longer confused. Stepping into White Bone Ridge was equivalent to challenging this world. In addition, they also had to protect them. The pressure that Master Huai Dan was under was unimaginable.

There's no need for excessive speculation; just by looking at how silent the real man has been since entering White Bone Ridge, one can understand the immense pressure he's been under.

'It would be good if the concentration of yin energy could be reduced.'

After walking for about half an hour, the concentration of yin energy around them was already ten times that of the outside world, and they could no longer see any white bones or animal bones.

This undoubtedly illustrates a fact: neither humans nor beasts have the ability to penetrate this area.

Those following behind Zhang Huaidan did not have such a clear feeling; the yin energy was kept out.

Lin Zheng and Liu Ping's eyes were filled with only trembling emotion; they couldn't even comprehend how Zhang Huaidan had protected everyone.

At this moment, the young man in front stopped, his eyes piercing through the dense foliage.

Hei Guan'er cautiously asked, "Master Huai Dan?"

Zhang Huaidan said softly, "It's just ahead."

After walking several dozen meters further, a dark and imposing cave entrance suddenly appeared before them.

The sun had set and the stars were just beginning to rise, but the dim starlight could not reach White Bone Ridge, where the yin energy was ten times stronger than that of the outside world.

The darkness inside the cave had a sticky feel to it, making the surrounding gloom seem like part of the light.

Black Pipe's heart pounded violently. Although he was a temporary worker at All-Knowing, he was very strong. Over the years, he had never encountered any dangerous mission that he couldn't handle. If he had to say, it was the time when Xiao Zizai lost control in Biyou Village.

The fear I felt then still makes my heart pound and I don't want to think about it now.

But then this cave came into view.

The fear buried deep in my memory has become weak and insignificant.

A powerful intuition, like a frenzied roar in his ears, drove and whipped him away, the farther the better.

Liu Yanyan was completely stunned.

Ma Youcai trembled with fear.

Suddenly, a scream rang out: "This...this...this is the Corpse Demon Cave!"

Liu Ping's features trembled, his entire face was shaking!
As he screamed, Lin Zheng trembled violently, muttering to himself, "It's real, it's real, White Bone Ridge, Corpse Demon Cave, it's all real..."

The two of them looked like children who had lost their souls.

Before entering White Bone Ridge, they both had some vague premonitions, but when they actually saw the cave, their hearts were easily pierced.

Zhang Huaidan exclaimed in surprise, "The Corpse Demon Cave?"

The two, however, were mentally unstable: "It's true, it's all true..."

Even though they had never seen the Corpse Demon Cave, deep in their hearts and souls, they trembled and roared, telling the two an undeniable fact!

This cave in front of us is the Corpse Demon Cave!

The most profound and terrifying nightmare of the corpse-driving lineage!

Seeing the two of them like this, Black Pipe couldn't help but feel horrified.

He was very clear about his own abilities. If it weren't for Master Huai Dan's presence, he would have been no match for the demon zombies he had come to slay.

As the two most capable figures in the corpse-driving lineage, they must have believed that Master Huaidan had the ability to subdue demonic zombies; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to their deaths.

But their current state clearly indicates that they have encountered something unexpected, and even the nearby Master Huai Dan cannot provide them with a sense of security.

Blackie's expression kept changing.

Zhang Huaidan frowned slightly, drawing out a wisp of pure yang energy from his body to help the two calm their minds.

The trembling gradually subsided, and Lin Zheng spoke in a hoarse voice: "Something's not right, Master Huai Dan, something's very wrong. Are you sure that trace is inside this cave?"

Zhang Huaidan nodded slightly, the remaining traces pointing directly to the cave in front of him.

Seeing him nod, Liu Ping couldn't help but tremble. Lin Zheng wasn't much calmer either, his lips trembling as he said, "Actually, before we even entered White Bone Ridge, Liu Ping and I had a premonition, but now that you've confirmed it..."

In the blink of an eye, a layer of glistening water droplets hung on his forehead.

"Over a hundred years ago, the demonic zombie that caused the Ma family, the exorcists, to bleed dry and nearly destroyed my corpse-driving lineage, came from White Bone Ridge and the Corpse Demon Cave..."

Liu Ping, standing beside him, was breathing rapidly.

Even the pure yang energy that Zhang Huaidan summoned could not completely dispel the chill surging in his heart.

This chill had nothing to do with the density of the surrounding yin energy; it originated from the heart and was endless.

The two younger members, Liu Yanyan and Ma Youcai, did not immediately grasp the chilling meaning behind it, and were still overwhelmed by a sense of impending doom, making it hard for them to breathe.

"what!"

Black Pipe's pupils constricted sharply as he stared intently at Lin Zheng: "Do you even know what you're saying! Why are you hiding such an important thing from me!" Lin Zheng smiled bitterly: "I didn't mean to hide it. How was I supposed to know that the demonic zombies would hide in White Bone Ridge and in the Corpse Demon Cave!"

He had a mournful face, as if he was about to shed tears.

Zhang Huaidan's already furrowed brows deepened.

As soon as Lin Zheng spoke, the originally clear situation suddenly became unpredictable and turbulent.

The demonic zombie that nearly wiped out the corpse-driving lineage more than a hundred years ago originated from here. Now, this newly emerged demonic zombie, unable to withstand the damage to its physical body, has returned here.

Doesn't that mean...?

Is there some unknown connection between these two?
If we were to make a rather arbitrary judgment, would that mean that both the demonic zombie from a hundred years ago and the demonic zombie of today originated from the Corpse Demon Cave?
Zhang Huaidan looked around.

Starlight cannot penetrate this place; it is dark all around, without a single ray of light.

The cave before them was thick and viscous, like lifeless black water, concealing a bottomless abyss.

Zhang Huaidan's expression softened, and he said softly, "I want to know all the records you have about White Bone Ridge and Corpse Demon Cave."

Perhaps his composure infected everyone, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope you will forgive me, Master. This White Bone Ridge was not originally called White Bone Ridge, nor was it a forbidden place. On the contrary, it was a blessed land for my Corpse Driving lineage."

"According to the real person, the yin energy here is much denser than outside. Since my lineage of corpse-driving values ​​corpses, this place is a good place to raise corpses."

"However, all of this was completely changed in the calamity more than a hundred years ago. A demonic zombie awoke from the cave, killing and drinking blood, causing great suffering to living beings. At that time, all the corpse-driving lineages united, and with the sacrifice of the exorcist Ma family at all costs, they barely managed to kill the demonic zombie."

"Since then, no one has mentioned the original name of this place anymore. Only the name White Bone Ridge has been passed down. The cave where the demon zombie awoke has also become the Corpse Demon Cave."

Lin Zheng recounted his story intermittently, with Liu Ping occasionally adding details.

Zhang Huaidan then asked for specific information about what happened more than a hundred years ago, before the emergence of the Demon Zombie.

The two men knew nothing about it, only saying that many records had been destroyed in the calamity more than a hundred years ago.

Zhang Huaidan's gaze was thoughtful, as if an indestructible sword had cleaved the Corpse-Driving lineage, this strange and extraordinary school of thought, in two.

More than half a hundred years ago.

Half of it remains to this day.

"Thank you both for your explanation, but we'll never find the answer to what it is outside the cave. Stay close to me."

Zhang Huaidan stared at the extremely dark cave, its liquid thick like black water.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng and Liu Ping exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of joy and worry.

The good news was that Master Huaidan hadn't given up after hearing all this and was still willing to rid the corpse-driving lineage of this great scourge. The bad news was that things were spiraling out of control in unexpected ways, and the two of them were completely at a loss.

Regardless of the circumstances, Master Huaidan made his stance clear, and neither of them had any reason to back down!
Hei Guan lowered his voice: "Master, why don't I go in and scout ahead first?"

"Oh?" Zhang Huaidan was somewhat surprised.

Black Pipe was quite frank: "If anything really happens, the real person should be able to save me in time."

The implication was that if Zhang Huaidan were to get into trouble, no one present would be able to save him.

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "No need."

Hei Guan'er didn't say much, but the feeling of unease in his heart couldn't be dispelled.

Through Lin Zheng and the other person's detailed account, it is assumed that the demonic zombie from over a hundred years ago and the demonic zombie of today both originated from the cave in front of them.

So, is there really only one demonic zombie in here?

Or something even more terrifying?

"Please wait, sir."

Liu Ping's gaze was solemn: "The depths of the Corpse Demon Cave are unknown. The fact that you, Master, were able to assist my Corpse Driving lineage in eliminating the demonic zombies is already an immense favor. How can we allow you to put yourself in danger again?"

Without giving Zhang Huaidan a chance to speak, he glanced at Liu Yanyan, who was biting her lip, and said to Lin Zheng, "Senior Brother Lin Zheng, the Corpse-driving lineage wronged the Lin family back then. I hope you will forgive us and lend me the Corpse-Suppressing Compass for self-defense."

Lin Zheng was also moved by his determination: "Junior Brother Liu Ping, you..."

He shook his head: "This time, the White Zombie Elder caused chaos, and the mainstay of the Liu family was almost wiped out. You can't take any more risks. I am also a member of the Corpse-Driving lineage, and I don't need you to take the lead. If you have talent, drip a few drops of blood onto the compass."

Liu Ping's eyes widened: "Senior Brother Lin Zheng!"

"No need to say anything more."

Lin Zheng recruited Ma Youcai.

"Master..."

Ma Youcai was extremely flustered, yet unable to refuse, he squeezed out a few drops of pure yang blood.

The Corpse-Suppressing Compass was originally an object of extreme yang energy. After Zhang Huaidan restored it to its original state and it received pure yang blood, it immediately flashed a bright light.

Lin Zheng, holding the Corpse-Suppressing Compass, stepped out from behind Zhang Huaidan.

In an instant, the Yin energy in this area surged in, ten times greater than that outside!
The corpse-suppressing compass rapidly heated up, its bright light flickering like fireflies in the darkness, bringing precious illumination.

Sweat streamed down Lin Zheng's forehead.

I felt the terrifying invasion of Yin energy.

If it weren't for the compass stained with pure Yang blood protecting him, he would probably have met an irreversible end in no time, just like those pitiful people who rashly ventured into White Bone Ridge.

Even with the compass protecting them, it would be difficult to last even half an hour. The yin energy in this place was too dense, making it a death trap with no chance of survival!

Thinking of this, he was momentarily dazed. Even under the protection of the most yang substance, he could still feel the all-pervasive invasion.

I was following behind Master Huaidan just now, but I didn't feel anything.

How much time has passed since we started this journey? Half an hour? An hour?
Lin Zheng steadied himself, calmed his chaotic thoughts, and strode towards the Corpse Demon Cave with an unusually composed expression.

Watching his figure disappear into the darkness of the cave, Ma Youcai murmured hopefully, "Master, he'll be alright..."

Liu Ping said firmly, "Brother Lin Zheng is a lucky man, of course he won't be in any trouble!"

As if in response to them, Lin Zheng's voice came from inside the cave: "Master Huai Dan, Junior Brother Liu Ping, you may come in."

Liu Ping and Ma Youcai were overjoyed upon hearing this, and Liu Yanyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hei Guan'er was somewhat surprised; Lin Zheng's voice gave off a very strange feeling.

There was a sense of relief and exhilaration, but also an incredulous astonishment.

Soon, the answer to the clarinet's surprise was found.

As the group entered the Corpse Demon Cave, they found that there was no long passageway as they had imagined. Instead, there was only an uneven ground with the end in sight.

Above them was an arched mountain wall, which reminded the clarinet of the shape of a tomb.

At this moment, Zhang Huaidan, who was in front, moved away, seemingly observing something.

Black Pipe felt a chill run down her spine. The feeling of being invaded by that yin energy was unpleasant. Just as she was about to stand behind him, she suddenly realized that the feeling was no longer there.

He was filled with doubt and unease.

A quick glance back revealed that the entrance remained a viscous darkness, like black water. (End of Chapter)
