Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 495 Cold Moon Foxfire
Deep in the desert, the three layers of dark earth trembled violently.

Beyond the Yin Land, black water crisscrosses, tearing through the sand sea and pouring down. In addition, streaks of spiritual light manifest, merging with the black water, attempting to annihilate the entire Yin Land.

Clad in a black robe, standing with his hands behind his back, Xuan Jiaozi silently watched this scene.

After much effort, Blackwater City finally found this yin land.

"I hope the ghosts here won't disappoint me and that I can find some of their legacy."

The Yin Earth was reflected in his eyes, and various thoughts flashed through Xuan Jiaozi's mind.

Although there were quite a few ghosts that attacked Blackwater City before, there weren't many powerful ones. Many of them were spiritually ignorant and acted on instinct. A few of the slightly more powerful ones had some spirituality, but their inheritance was still very crude, and they relied more on their innate talents, which was not what he wanted.

That is why he placed his hopes on the Yin Earth, hoping to find what he wanted there.

Faced with the attack from the cultivators of Blackwater City, the Yin Earth Barrier, which was not protected by any formation, was quickly torn apart, leaving the gate wide open.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators of Blackwater City were overjoyed and immediately unleashed their abilities to storm into the Yin Earth.

Although compared to the underground caves, Yin Land can only be considered a barren land, not only dangerous, but also producing resources that are more like poison to cultivators, this does not mean that Yin Land is completely worthless. It is also possible for some rare treasures to be born there.

Most importantly, before the war began, Xuan Jiaozi had already offered an extremely high bounty: intelligent ghosts and corresponding ghost cultivation inheritances were all resources.

As cultivators from Blackwater City poured in, a fierce battle ensued. As a place of Yin, it had nurtured many ghosts. Although some had been lost previously, it still possessed considerable power.

"Human cultivators?"

On the third layer of Yin soil, sensing the turmoil in the outside world, the fox spirit frowned.

Previously, it had been focused on refining pills and hadn't paid much attention to the changes in the outside world. It had simply occupied the third level of this Yin Land for secluded cultivation. Unexpectedly, it was found out today.

"This thing is like a stubborn rock. Although I can sense the power hidden within it, I can't draw it out no matter what I do. It's wishful thinking to try to refine it into a golden pill."

"The only solution now is to try blood sacrifice, and the blood and souls of human cultivators are the best offerings."

Her gaze returned to the alchemy furnace, and a cold glint flashed in the fox demon's eyes as she looked at the motionless, unchanged metal fragments inside.

It was born in this yin land, but it discovered a rather exquisite ghost cultivation inheritance here, which included an extremely ferocious blood sacrifice method.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right time. Since we're here, let's all stay."

With a single thought, a cloud of ghostly energy surged forth, and the fox spirit vanished without a trace.

As the fox demon made its move, the entire Yin Land was unknowingly enveloped by an invisible force. This force was strange and bewitching, and most cultivators did not notice anything unusual. Only Xuan Jiaozi and Wu Jun'an realized that something was wrong.

"What an amazing illusion."

Looking up at the silver moon hanging high above the Yin Earth, Xuan Jiaozi frowned. If it weren't for his dragon nature and the protection of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, he would have almost fallen into the trap.

"The other party is definitely a real old ghost, perhaps he has already reached the Purple Mansion level, otherwise he would never have such methods."

"But that's not enough to deal with me!"

Roar! His dragon nature surged. Sensing the encroachment of the illusion, Xuan Jiaozi transformed into a dragon and directly used force to break through the illusion, shattering the entire sky full of illusions.

Hidden behind the scenes, watching this scene, the fox demon let out a soft exclamation. It had thought it could easily suppress these human cultivators, but unexpectedly, something had gone wrong. "What a good slippery eel."

As the spell was activated, the fox demon suddenly engulfed the overwhelming yin energy, and in that instant, its power began to surge wildly.

"Cold Moon Foxfire".

Whoosh, the fox tail swayed behind it, and the fox demon scattered a sky full of icy blue foxfire, attacking Xuan Jiaozi. Since the illusion had failed, it would kill with force. Although Xuan Jiaozi showed considerable power, it was not afraid.

"A third-tier spirit fire? This old ghost actually has something like that?"

A sky full of icy blue flames attacked, and his soul felt faintly frozen. Xuan Jiaozi's expression changed slightly. He had thought that this old ghost was good at illusions, but he did not expect that the other party would also master a third-order spiritual fire. Such a thing is usually only controlled by Purple Mansion cultivators.

Even if an ordinary cultivator were to encounter such a situation by chance, it would be difficult to subdue it, and attempting to subdue it by force would most likely result in their own destruction.

"What exactly is the origin of this old ghost?"

With a solemn expression, Xuan Jiaozi immediately pushed his defenses to the limit. However, even so, he still found it difficult to withstand the third-tier spiritual fire. He suffered burns in many places on his body. The only thing he could be thankful for was that his soul was protected by the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, which kept his soul from being affected by the spiritual fire. Otherwise, things would have been even more troublesome.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of here on my own this time."

With a soft sigh, Xuan Jiaozi saw the possibility of his defeat.

Even so, his fighting spirit did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew even stronger. His blood boiled, and he displayed all his skills one by one, intending to hold off the fox demon at all costs.

Looking at Xuan Jiaozi like this, Hu Gui frowned. He thought the other party would try to escape, but he didn't expect him to confront him head-on.

"The fact that my mind remains still makes it difficult for my strongest techniques to take effect, but in the end, it's just courting death."

The fox's face was full of coldness and ferocity. The fox demon stretched out a claw and fiercely grabbed at Xuan Jiaozi, tearing a piece of flesh from Xuan Jiaozi's dragon body.

While Xuan Jiaozi was locked in a life-or-death struggle with the fox demon, in a corner of the second layer of Yin Earth, Wu Jun'an's consciousness returned to full clarity. Without the protection of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, even with his extraordinary abilities, he was still inevitably affected by the fox demon's supernatural powers, but fortunately, he did not completely succumb to them.

"This might be what I've been looking for."

With his senses expanding, Wu Jun'an watched as Xuan Jiaozi was being overwhelmed by the fox spirit and seemed to be on the verge of death. Instead of being alarmed, he felt a surge of joy. This joy stemmed from the depths of his heart. Exploring the Yin Land and seeking the inheritance of ghosts was his obsession, and now he saw the possibility of achieving his goal.

It was at this moment that a thought hidden deep within his soul was stirred.

Meanwhile, in Lanyun City, Jiang Chen's mind sensed something.

"The Yin Earth has been found?"

The dragon opened its eyes and gazed into the distance. Across the vast distance, Jiang Chen seemed to see the three layers of Yin soil. At this moment, he established a connection with Wu Jun'an and Xuan Jiaozi, with the connection with Xuan Jiaozi being particularly strong.

"Something seems off."

Having seen something clearly, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It seems I'll have to go there myself."

With a single thought, Jiang Chen tore through the void with his physical body, his dragon form roaming freely before vanishing in an instant.
