Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

Li Qianren was moving through the waves in the underground river on the west side.

As he activated the Wave-Splitting Technique and sped along the underground river to the west, he kept his attention focused on the sounds of water and the movements of corpses behind him.

The tide of corpses surging in from the east was initially like a persistent, intractable disease.

But after retreating several dozen feet, the noise behind them gradually subsided.

"Yuan Youdao..."

Previously in the morgue, the old man was in a state of mental confusion.

After he unleashed the Soul-Devouring Sword, he became noticeably more lucid.

Moreover, although the dried corpse was suspended in the air by iron chains, the cultivator's intuition told him...

He possesses a calm and composed demeanor, far from being a dying man.

It was more like it was entangled with the entire underground cave, flesh and blood intertwined, life and death indistinguishable.

As he pondered, Li Qian noticed that the current in front of him had slowed down and the river had split in two.

With a splash of water beneath his feet, and aided by the clear light emanating from the water-repelling talisman, he darted into a narrow fork in the road on the left and stood close to the wall.

The waters of the underground river flowed slowly around them, and black mist hung like wisps between the rocks.

Li Qian raised his hand and used a Concealing Breath Talisman, then activated another Tracking Talisman.

Once everything was in place, he flicked the blade with his finger.

The Soul-Devouring Sword trembled slightly, and a pale green shadow silently emerged—it was the Mountain Granny.

Li Qian carefully gave instructions, wanting the old woman to turn back and check on Yuan Youdao.

The mountain hag had empty eyes, bowed her head and accepted the order. Then her body dispersed and seeped into the cracks in the rocks.

Li Qian stood still, silently observing through the connection between the Soul-Devouring Sword and the Sword Slave.

But at that moment, a slight tremor came from the Sumeru Ring on his left hand.

Li Qian frowned, glanced at the ring with his consciousness, and his expression changed slightly.

What moved was actually the skeleton of an adult dragon.

The massive, white bone that had been lying inside the Sumeru Ring was now trembling slightly, almost about to break free of the ring.

"Lock Dragon Eye..."

He had initially dismissed it as Yuan Youdao making things up.

Now it seems that such a place does exist.

The dragon's bones stirred strangely, and fragments were hidden in an abandoned shrine at the bottom of the Fallen Dragon River. The Corpse Cave was also known as the Dragon Locking Cave.

"It seems this place still needs to be explored further," Li Qian thought to himself.

He wasn't unprepared if the fragments were moved by that tall, thin drowned corpse.

During their earlier encounter, he had already secretly taken several pieces of flesh from the drowned corpse.

Covered in fragments of energy and the Yin water of corpses, it is certainly possible to trace it, it will just take more effort.

If this western route is truly connected to this dragon bone...

The gains from this trip will likely be even greater than imagined.

We cannot be careless.

Li Qian stopped thinking about it and immediately continued along the western route.

Along the way, he slowed his pace and carefully discerned the details.

Carvings can be seen from time to time on both sides of the stone wall.

Li Qian walked several dozen feet and then suddenly stopped.

He crouched down and raised his hand to brush away the black moss from a stone surface.

Below it, several curved ancient patterns appear, resembling claws or horns, intertwined and converging inwards layer by layer.

The ancient patterns on the skin felt cold to the touch, more like some kind of strange bone.

My fingertips gently brushed across it; it felt cold and hard to the touch, unlike the texture of stone.

It resembles some kind of strange bone embedded in the rock, which, after years of being eroded by dark water, has grown into one with the mountain rock.

Yuan Youdao had been in a daze, but he became much more lucid after the Soul-Devouring Sword appeared, and he repeatedly steered the conversation toward the "Dragon-Locking Eye".

It's absolutely impossible that he wasn't intentionally using her to get involved in something.

Knowing the other party's intentions, one should not follow their path.

Thinking of this, Li Qian flicked his fingers and pulled out a thin talisman from his sleeve, then gently flicked it.

The talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, transforming into a wisp of extremely fine blue light that quietly traveled along the ancient patterns.

Instead of advancing, he retreated silently, moving three zhang away.

A moment later, a ripple emanated from the Soul-Devouring Sword.

There's been a response from Yamahaba's side.

Li Qian closed his eyes and concentrated, using the sword slave's gaze to look back at the corpse cave.

The previously hesitant horde of corpses suddenly became chaotic.

Yuan Youdao, who was chained in mid-air, also turned his head slightly.

It seems they used the water's current to pinpoint Li Qian's location.

When Li Qian used the Concealing Breath Talisman, he couldn't sense it and even frowned slightly.

Seeing that he couldn't be found, Li Qian no longer hesitated and slowly moved forward along the side of the stone wall.

The further west you go, the fainter the stench of decaying corpses becomes.

Instead, the lingering power of the bones and blood of some powerful being after its death persists for a long time.

The dragon's bones are resonant; this place is definitely not a mere illusion.

After walking several dozen feet, the space suddenly opened up ahead.

Here, the underground river slows down, revealing a man-made stone cavity.

In the center of the stone cavity stands a half-broken stone pillar, its body covered with moss, and several rings of broken lock marks still remain on the outside.

Li Qian stepped forward and brushed away the moss.

Several fragmented ancient characters were clearly visible below:

Lock.

pulse.

town.

eye.

There are very shallow grooves in the ground around the stone pillar.

They intertwined, forming a ring around the pillar, and finally converged together at a crack behind the stone cavity.

The crack was only about ten feet wide, and it sloped downwards.

It was pitch black and devoid of light, with no sound of water, except for a chilling aura that seeped out from its depths.

Li Qianli took out a locator from the crack and placed it on the path he had come from.

He then took out a warning sign and stuck it next to the stone pillar.

Then, he took out a piece of flesh that he had secretly taken from the drowned corpse and gently guided it with a tracking talisman.

The green light trembled slightly, but its direction still leaned towards the upper, abandoned shrine.

This means that the remaining fragment is most likely still in its original location, or at least has not been actually moved.

This gave him more leeway.

Li Qian put away the shredded flesh of the drowned corpse, raised his hand and pressed down on the Soul-Devouring Sword, his gaze fixed on the crack.

Yuan Youdao wanted to use him to break the deadlock.

He would first try to understand the situation before deciding whether to break it or not.

Having made up his mind, Li Qian still did not go inside. Instead, he walked around the stone pillar for half a circle, continuing to examine the terrain and patterns.

Those shallow grooves are traces left after the underground network of energy rose to the surface.

Then, considering the strange movement of the dragon bones, the connection to the corpse cave, and the reverberation of the black nail on Yuan Youdao's chest...

Li Qian already had a guess.

This dragon-locking eye is mostly the core of the entire corpse cave formation.

Just then, another message came from the mountain woman's side.

Li Qian pondered for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

Yuan Youdao, on the other side of the Corpse Cave, urged the horde of corpses to pursue them even further.

More importantly, the black iron nail on his chest vibrates slightly every few breaths.

With each tremor, the sinister secrets hidden deep within the crack of the stone cavity would also experience a faint ripple.

At that moment, the dragon bone in the Sumeru Ring suddenly trembled, more violently than ever before.

The impact caused all the objects within the ring to rattle and clatter, as if responding to something in front of them.

He stood with his hands behind his back beside the stone pillar, his mind racing, piecing together everything he had seen and heard.

The upper level of the abandoned shrine is fragmented and nourished by the dampness of the underworld, and is surrounded by drowned corpses.

In the middle section of the Corpse Cave, Yuan Youdao's soul was locked by black nails, and he was fed day and night with the blood and flesh of a Grandmaster.

Deep within the western route lies what is known as the Dragon Locking Eye, which resonates with the energy of the dragon's bones.

He didn't linger any longer and flashed away.

He ventured alone into the crevice, and then a blinding light flashed.
