In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

“Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I only visit sacred sites and ancestral graves to learn more about feng shui. I never dig up graves. If I have, may I suffer the torment of nine lifetimes of reincarnation.”

Moreover, this humble Taoist is unparalleled in the world at finding and locating dragon veins; I can easily find auspicious sites and dragon lairs, possessing even a trace of their essence. Why would I lie to you!

You can speak, and you have suffered the torment of nine lifetimes of reincarnation...

It's okay, I wasn't telling the truth either, we're all in the same boat.

"In that case, could you accompany me on a trip to the Qinling Mountains to see if we can find two special terrain features?"

"What kind of terrain?"

"The Immortal Transformation Pool and the Eternal Dragon's Lair, are you not interested, Daoist Master?"

Duan De gave a forced smile: "Fellow Daoist, don't try to fool me. These are all legends, not to be believed, not to be believed."

Legend? Lu Yao scoffed inwardly. You know best whether it's true or not. You're not trying to get rid of me, are you?

What if this bastard manages to find the Immortal Transformation Pool?

"Whether it's a legend or not, I don't know, but I've heard that these two treasure lands contain imperial weapons, primordial immortal essence, and dreamlike immortal marrow."

Never mind anything else, just keep trying to fool this fatso. Let's find a place for a few days first. He's a feng shui master, after all.

"Really?" Sure enough, Duan De's eyes lit up.

Chapter Forty-Two: The Secret of the Character "Soldier"

"A colossal dragon lies prostrate amidst the millions of miles of Qinling Mountains, constantly shifting its position. The Dream-level Divine Essence is likely not just a legend." Duan De stood atop a cloud, gazing at this vast and boundless land under the moonlight, his brow furrowed.

Lu Yao was also trying to identify the dragon vein feng shui, but unfortunately he did not know the profound method of observing qi, so he could not see the dragon vein surging under the Qinling Mountains, let alone determine the location of the ancient dragon's lair.

During his month in the Qinling Mountains, he not only searched for the stone wall marked with the character "兵" (bing, meaning soldier), but also for the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Eternal Dragon Cave. He was mainly looking for the Immortal Transformation Pool because Wushi had obtained a piece of Chaos Stone Immortal Essence there.

He lacks the essential materials for forging artifacts, so he might as well try his luck.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it.

Now, with Duan De by their side, they quickly identified several locations.

But some damned thing carved a bunch of stone tablets for the Eternal Dragon Cave and the Immortal Transformation Pool. Some were brand new, as if they had just been erected, while others were broken and illegible due to the passage of time.

Over the course of seven days, the two traveled almost the entire 30,000 li around Qinmen, and saw three Immortal Transformation Pools and two ancient dragon lairs.

Duan De himself became more and more excited as he searched, but Lü Yao was preparing to go back, because the moonlight was shining down and the inheritance of the "Soldier's Secret" was about to begin.

"If it's not within 30,000 li, it's very likely in another region. We'll search the entire Qinling Mountains; we're sure to find it." Duan De was beaming with excitement, truly ready to scour the million-li Qinling Mountains.

Moreover, there are countless corpse kings buried here. He really didn't consider whether Lu Yao's small arms and legs could defeat these things.

"Go back to Qin Sect, Daoist. You go to the main mountain to find the forbidden technique. I need to go back to cultivate."

"Don't you want forbidden magic?"

"My sea of ​​consciousness is not stable enough and cannot withstand the tempering of the scriptures. I need to settle down for a longer period of time."

Duan De clicked his tongue: "Okay."

He was initially worried that Lü Yao was deceiving him, so he wanted to take him up the mountain with him.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a sound that resembled both a bird's cry and a human scream rang out, causing the mountains to tremble.

"Boom!"

In the distance, a dozen or so mountain peaks were shattered by the eerie sound, with flying rocks and billowing dust obscuring the bright moon in the sky.

anyone?

Lu Yao's expression hardened, and his figure instantly vanished, merging into the void.

This is not a Great Void Technique, but a Minor Arcane Technique.

Duan De immediately disappeared, leaving no trace for Lü Yao.

A strange bird, its body gleaming with dark light, was the size of a roc. Its body was covered with scales, as if cast from molten iron, shimmering with metallic light, and white downy hairs grew in the middle of the scales.

Even more bizarre is its head, which resembles a human face but has no eyeballs; its eyes are completely white.

"The Soul-Destroying Demon Bird?"

Lu Yao recognized the ferocious beast. It was an ancient and exotic species that could attack people's souls. Legend has it that a single cry could cause tens of thousands of people to be annihilated.

"Wow!"

With another cry, it suddenly accelerated, flew out of the dust and mist, and kept changing its shape as it flew close to the mountains.

Only then did Lü Yao notice that someone was sitting on him. It was a woman dressed in a black gauze dress, with a seductive figure and her face covered by a black veil. An inexplicable Daoist aura obscured the probing of his divine sense.

It turns out that this ancient, exotic creature was the woman's mount.

"She's being chased. Who is it?" Lu Yao looked around, curious about who was chasing a cultivator at the fourth level, and who had an extremely terrifying soul-destroying demon bird as an accomplice.

Suddenly, a rainbow light pierced through the smoke and dust with incredible speed. Within the rainbow light, a person was enveloped in chaotic mist, obscuring his figure and making it impossible to see his face.

He formed a hand seal, and a beam of immortal light shot out, exuding unparalleled domineering power and immense strength. The divine moon dimmed, losing its luster under this radiant light. The light rained down like large, pure white feathers, containing a supreme offensive power rarely seen in the world.

The radiant light shot directly towards the soul-destroying demon bird.

The woman in black veil turned her head, and a blue bell appeared on her wrist. With a clatter, she flicked her wrist, and a beam of blue light shot out.

"boom!"

Huge energy fluctuations surged and rolled, divine power boiled, and thunderous roars resounded as more than a dozen mountains were leveled.

However, it was clear that the woman in black was the weaker party, mainly on the defensive, and showed no intention of turning back to fight.

Moreover, that celestial light... was the Flying Immortal Technique!

Lu Yao recognized the figure shrouded in chaotic mist as using the Flying Immortal Technique, a forbidden inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor. It was comparable to the Fighting Secret Technique, and when cultivated to its peak, it could transform into a new self from the original body, creating a divine embryo.

Lü Yao's expression was stern.

Is this person Hua Yunfei, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, or Jiang Yifei?

After much deliberation, Lü Yao was more inclined to believe that this person was Hua Yunfei or some other furnace cauldron.

Since both Yao Guang Shengzi and Jiang Yifei cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art, they only need to wait for the demonic fetus to grow and then devour it.

But the person in front of us is clearly here to hunt down the kings, actively devour the essence of human beings, and may even dig up graves and corpses in the Qinling Mountains, a place where countless powerful people have been buried.

It can be said that the Qinling Mountains are the sacred land for cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

The commotion from their battle was so great that it finally alerted some terrifying beings.

In the distance, a mountain range shook violently, rocks tumbled down, and a cave appeared in the collapsed area.

A blood-red coffin shrouded in black mist suddenly slid down from the cave, rolled to the ground, and the coffin lid was lifted, from which a human figure fell out.

It was an old man wearing an old dragon robe and a golden crown, but the golden crown had lost its luster, and his face was ashen and lifeless.

Strands of corpse energy emanated from his seven orifices, growing more and more until they eventually enveloped an entire mountaintop, transforming into a massive cloud of corpses.

This is a corpse king transformed from an ancient powerful being, with unfathomable cultivation, who wants to use the terrain of the Qinling Mountains to revive.

Now, he sat up, opened his eyes, looked at the two juniors who were fighting, and reached out his hand.

In the sky, a beast's claw, wreathed in corpse energy, suddenly appeared and reached for the chaotic figure.

The woman in the black mist and the person who resembled Hua Yunfei were also visibly startled, not expecting to have alarmed such a figure, and they both tried to get away.

But it was obvious that this corpse king was definitely at the half-step great power level in his lifetime. Even though the person in the chaotic mist was moving so fast that the human eye could not see him, the beast claw still followed steadily behind and then slammed down!

"boom!"

He gritted his teeth, turned his head, and unleashed another Flying Immortal Technique. Then, his entire body was grazed by the claws of the beast, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling into a gloomy black pool like a tattered sack.

The woman riding the soul-destroying bird disappeared into the horizon without looking back.

The person who resembles Hua Yunfei is only at the fourth level of cultivation. To survive a single blow is already a testament to his unparalleled talent.

Not everyone is like Ye Fan, who can casually ignite the divine fire of the Fire Domain, causing powerful figures to be burned to death without even trying to dodge.

After a few days away, having witnessed a good show and even encountered someone resembling Hua Yunfei, Lü Yao had certainly gained something.

Lu Yao revealed himself and looked to the side, noticing that Duan De had also withdrawn his divine magic. He muttered to himself, "That person's successor has also emerged. Weren't they all wiped out...?"

"Daoist Master!" Lü Yao called out loudly.

Duan De was startled: "Ah! Let's go, let's go back to Qin Gate and go up the main mountain."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and took his leave first.

Lü Yao also left.

It was obvious that Duan De knew the Ruthless Great Emperor's background, which was why he recognized the Flying Immortal Technique.

Upon arriving at Qin Gate, Duan De flew directly to the main mountain, while Lü Yao returned to his cave first and then secretly went to the stone wall where the "Soldier" secret was located.

This is a rocky mountain, opposite the main mountain. It is barren, without any weeds or vines, and the rocks are dry.

The moon in the sky was now full, its light casting a veil over the land, creating a simple and hazy atmosphere.

Lu Yao used a secret technique, his figure slowly dissipated in mid-air, and with one step, he appeared in front of the stone wall.

This is a secret technique to conceal one's identity and prevent being discovered.

Chapter 43 The Secret of the Soldier Awakens

There are a few stone carvings on the rock face, all of them weapons, such as knives, spears, halberds, towers, bells, and so on, but they have no aesthetic appeal and look like they were carved by children playing around.

These weapon marks, which usually appear ordinary, took on a different look under the full moonlight.

An ancient and weathered aura emanated from it, and all the traces connected together, transforming into a mysterious rune or Dao mark, which looked like a divine phoenix about to break through the sky.

Lü Yao naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass by, and watched the changes intently.
