Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 141 The Unlucky Cultivator
He picked up a stone and flicked it, and a faint light immediately appeared on the surface of the corpse, completely shattering the stone.

'As expected, a restriction was set up.' Chen Beiwu was not surprised at all.

If there were no array restrictions, the Foundation Establishment corpse on the futon would definitely have been devoured by the Azure King Scale.

For safety reasons, Chen Beiwu did not touch the corpses immediately, but instead used his divine sense to search for useful information inside the wooden house.

At this moment, several books and jade slips in the table drawer caught Chen Beiwu's attention.

[Zhou Tianxing Yanlu]

【The Secret of Forging Treasures with a Thousand Hammers】

【Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Array】

……

Opening the drawer, Chen Beiwu took out the most imposing-sounding book, Zhou Tianxing Yanlu, and began to peruse it.

After quickly reading it, disappointment showed in his eyes.

As the saying goes, the more outrageous the name, the more outrageous the content.

Despite its impressive name, the Zhou Tianxing Yanlu is actually just a second-tier book on array formations, containing six second-tier array formations, but two of them are incomplete.

In terms of quality, the Six Spirits Formation he purchased from the Immortal Alliance website was even a cut above the Zhou Tian Star Evolution Record, what a waste of such a good name.

The only thing that made Chen Beiwu feel gratified was that the Zhou Tianxing Record contained specific information about the Spirit Lake Array and its operating principles.

If he could thoroughly study this book on formations, he might be able to repair the Spirit Lake Grand Formation [Gathering Yuan Earth Water Formation] and [Ice Sky Cold Enclosure Formation], completely occupying this treasure land and preventing outsiders from intruding.

Carefully putting away the Zhou Tian Xing Yan Lu, Chen Beiwu opened the second book, the Qian Chui Forging Treasure Manual.

'It's actually a third-tier weapon-refining manual passed down from a Golden Core cultivation family.'

After taking a few glances, Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up with interest.

Magic power is the hammer, used to forge artifacts and seal spirits.

The essence and blood are refined, and the embryonic form is formed.

This Thousand Hammers Forging Technique is not only a third-tier weapon-forging secret method, but also inherits a Thousand Hammers Technique that specifically counters divine sense.

Unfortunately, this manual is incomplete, with only half remaining, which records the second-tier weapon-refining techniques.

The second half of the content, namely the three key sections on "how to make a magical artifact", "the spiritual nurturing of a magical artifact", and "an introduction to the Thousand-Fold Hammer Technique", was torn up.

'Was it intentional?' Chen Beiwu looked up at the corpse and wondered to himself.

Shaking his head, Chen Beiwu didn't think much of it and picked up the Myriad Ghosts Soul Devouring Array to observe it.

This Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Array has an extraordinary origin, stemming from the ancient demonic sect, the Ten Thousand Nether Sect. It is a fourth-order demonic array that uses killing to prove one's path.

The key to setting up this formation was to use the essence and soul of a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine a Blood Soul Core in advance.

Using the Blood Soul Core as the array's core, the Myriad Ghosts Devouring Soul Array can unleash its power, manifesting the Netherworld Ghost Realm to devour all living beings within a thousand miles, easily achieving the terrifying feat of one person killing an entire city.

The souls of cultivators who die under the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Array cannot escape reincarnation. Instead, depending on their cultivation level, they will be transformed by the Blood Soul Core into the array's vengeful spirits (Qi Refining), ghosts (Foundation Building), evil spirits (Golden Core), and the Ghost King (Nascent Soul) who suppresses all ghosts, making the array's power even more terrifying.

In pursuit of the ultimate power of formations, some demonic cultivators even replace the Blood Soul Core with innate Netherworld spiritual objects.

However, such innate spiritual objects are extremely rare, and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Myriad Nether Sect rarely see them.

Five thousand years ago, a peerless demonic cultivator appeared in the Southern Wilderness Realm, known as the leader of the ancient demonic sect, Wanyou Sect.

He attempted to refine the Southern Wilderness Realm using the Myriad Ghosts Devouring Soul Array to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

As a result, he offended a sect he shouldn't have, and was forcibly refined to death by the reclusive Nascent Soul True Venerable of the Burning Flame Sect of the Earthly Evolution Realm using the Great Sun True Flame. His remaining inheritance and secret manuals were also completely destroyed by the five major sects of the Earthly Evolution Realm.

I never expected it to appear in such a remote place.

What surprised Chen Beiwu even more was that the Myriad Ghosts Soul Devouring Array in his possession was also incomplete, with the latter half deliberately torn apart. 'What exactly was the owner of this corpse planning?'

With this question in mind, Chen Beiwu took out the jade slip from the drawer and touched it with his divine sense.

The contents of the jade slip were not complicated; it simply recorded the magnificent life of Qian Yuan, the master of Linghu Lake.

In July of the 57001st year of the Southern Wilderness Era, Qian Yuan advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, aiming to lead his family, which cultivated both weaponry and array formations, to rise to prominence and become a dominant force in the Hengyan Mountains.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky. Not long after he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the rival cultivation family, the Yun family, suddenly launched an attack.

All the cultivators of the Qian family, from Foundation Establishment to Qi Refining, perished in the battle, except for Qian Yuan, who escaped death because he was out searching for treasure.

After learning the truth, Qian Yuan traveled a long distance from the south to the north of the Mountain Annihilation Realm in order to seek revenge, determined to find the ancestral treasure.

During his journey, Qian Yuan had good luck and accidentally entered the cave of an ancient demonic cultivator. After experiencing nine deaths and one ordeal, he was fortunate enough to obtain a part of the inheritance of the ancient demonic sect, Wanyou Sect.

Unfortunately, his talent was limited. Even though his spiritual root attribute was compatible with the Netherworld Path, and he abandoned weapon crafting to learn array formations, advancing all the way to become a second-tier high-grade array master, he still could not master the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Array.

Not to mention using the essence and soul of a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators to create a Blood Soul Core.

Therefore, Qian Yuan decisively gave up studying the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Formation and continued to search for the burial place of the Qian family's Golden Core ancestor based on the information left in the family genealogy, and found the mysterious spirit lake.

However, even after sitting in the mysterious spirit lake for over two hundred years until his lifespan was exhausted, he was still unable to unravel the formation of his ancestral tomb and find the third-tier golden core magic weapon, the Mountain-Splitting Blade.

Before his death, Qian Yuan left a will stating that he only possessed half of the inheritance he had received.

Those destined to arrive here and wish to obtain the complete inheritance must fulfill his last wish by using the blood and soul of the direct lineage of the Yun family in the Hengyan Mountains to remove the special restrictions on the storage ring.

Setting down the jade slip, Chen Beiwu's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

The owner of this corpse must have suffered a truly tragic fate.

He had just been promoted to Foundation Establishment cultivator when his family was massacred.

By sheer chance, he obtained the inheritance of an ancient, peerless demonic cultivator, but he was completely unable to learn it.

They wanted to be unfilial descendants who dug up their ancestors' graves to find magical treasures to avenge their clan, but in the end, they couldn't even enter their ancestors' graves!
"Gulu?"

Sensing the surprise emanating from the Covenant, the golden egg tilted its head.

"fine."

Chen Beiwu looked at the storage ring on the corpse's finger, and the Cold Pool behind him instantly unsheathed itself.

A second-tier formation set up by a Foundation Establishment cultivator could stop the Azure King's Scale, but it couldn't stop the magic-breaking spirit sword bestowed by his senior sister.

"Qiang!"

As the cold light swept past, the faint glow covering the corpse's surface dissipated like ripples.

'wrong! ’

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, he grabbed the golden egg with his right hand, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and used the Zongtao Stepping Void technique to move back five zhang, retreating outside the wooden house.

Just then, the eyes of the corpse sitting cross-legged on the futon suddenly shone brightly, and a semi-transparent ghost shot out and rushed towards Chen Beiwu.

'Such pure blood and energy!'

The ghost emitted a frenzied scream, causing Chen Beiwu's mind to churn, as if tens of thousands of fine needles were piercing his brain.

"How dare a Foundation Establishment remnant soul act so presumptuously?"

Chen Beiwu flicked his right finger forward, and the Cold Pool Spirit Sword shot out, cleaving the ghost in two with a single strike.

Taking this opportunity, Jin Dan opened his mouth wide, wanting to activate his Na Hai talent, but Chen Beiwu grabbed him.

"You can't just eat this stuff!"
