God-Slaying Blade

During her absence, Liu Qingxue passed on to Qin Jue a forbidden technique that could control life and death.

Of course, it works just as well on demons.

Seeing that the black eagle was being quite pragmatic, Qin Jue felt much more at ease.

Qin Jue didn't delay and immediately began to condense the Blood Spirit Forbidden Spell.

This Blood Spirit Forbidden Curse is a restriction created by cultivators at the Spirit Realm or above, using their own blood and spiritual power as a guide.

Once this restriction is implanted into another living being, it can be detonated with a single thought within a certain range, causing the controlled being to bleed to death instantly!

hum!

Following the method taught by Liu Qingxue, Qin Jue quickly condensed a golden thread about the length of a finger.

Inside the golden thread, there was also a faint trace of blood.

"Don't resist, or something bad will happen. If something really happens, even if I don't want to eat you anymore, I'll have no choice but to." Qin Jue smiled faintly and slapped the Blood Spirit Forbidden Curse into the black eagle's body.

The black eagle was so frightened that its whole body tensed up, and it dared not move an inch.

When the Blood Spirit Forbidden Curse was injected into its body, the black eagle clearly felt a powerful force that did not belong to it merging into its demonic body.

"Alright, with this restriction, no matter where you fly, I can take your life with a single thought. In that case, I no longer need to worry about your loyalty," Qin Jue said with a faint smile.

He naturally wouldn't tell the black eagle that this Blood Spirit Forbidden Spell had a distance limit. And this distance was actually related to Qin Jue's cultivation level.

The stronger Qin Jue's cultivation, the greater the range he can control.

Now, he can only control the life and death of the black eagle with a thought within a five-mile radius of him. Within a range of five to fifty miles, Qin Jue can only barely sense the location of the Blood Spirit Forbidden Curse, and cannot activate it at all.

Beyond fifty li, that's an absolutely safe distance.

"Don't worry, Master. Even though Nie Hengtian was such a scoundrel, Little Eagle never betrayed him. Master is far more powerful than him, so Little Eagle would never betray you," Black Eagle quickly replied.

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "As long as you are loyal, I will not treat you badly in the future. I will even help you break through and become a spirit eagle! After all, a flying mount is very useful, and you are worth my training."

The black eagle's eyes lit up, and it quickly said, "Thank you, Master!"

"You wait here."

Without saying much, Qin Jue gave an order and then leaped down the cliff alone.

Arriving at the same level as the grottoes, Qin Jue narrowed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to explore the largest caves.

If anything remains in this site, it must be in the largest cave.

The size of a cave, to some extent, also reflects the social status of its inhabitants.

A moment later, Qin Jue frowned.

His spiritual senses failed to detect any hidden spiritual energy fluctuations in the largest caves.

He raised his hand and took out the God-Slaying Blade, saying dejectedly, "Sister Qingxue, it seems we were disappointed. I just used my spiritual sense to explore the largest caves, but I didn't sense any fluctuations of spiritual energy. Even if this place used to be a sect, it's probably just an empty shell now."

Liu Qingxue smiled and said, "Don't be lazy, go inside and look. You've just entered the Spirit Realm, and your spiritual sense isn't strong enough yet. Although it can cover a radius of five miles, its penetrating power isn't strong. If there are hidden restrictions set up by powerful cultivators, it will be difficult for your spiritual sense to detect them."

Qin Jue suddenly realized and laughed, "Then let's go in and take a look."

If there were any leftovers, placed in a conspicuous position, then it wouldn't be his turn to possess them.

Swish.

Qin Jue darted into the largest grotto.

This grotto is very deep.

Qin Jue grew increasingly alarmed as he walked, and after more than a hundred feet, he still hadn't reached the deepest part.

Qin Jue carefully investigated along the way, but found nothing.

After walking for about 270 zhang, Qin Jue finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

Two lampstones, one on the left and one on the right, are embedded in the stone wall, emitting a faint light.

A black bearskin was laid on the ground, and next to it was a stone table with five empty wine jars on it.

Besides these, there was nothing else.

"This should be where Nie Hengtian is staying," Qin Jue murmured.

"Place your palms against the stone wall and use your spiritual power to vibrate into it. Then concentrate your spiritual sense to feel the vibrations on the stone wall. If there are any unusual vibrations, there may be some kind of restrictive power hidden there," Liu Qingxue reminded her.

Qin Jue immediately placed his palm against the stone wall.

hum!

With a surge of spiritual energy, he blasted the stone wall.

The penetrating power of spiritual energy is far greater than that of internal energy. It instantly pierced the stone wall and quickly radiated outwards.

"Um?"

Qin Jue, who was focused on sensing the vibration, suddenly had a look of delight in his eyes and turned his gaze to a stone wall five zhang away from him!

Seeing that Qin Jue had noticed something amiss, Liu Qingxue chuckled and said, "Try hitting it with a palm strike!"

Qin Jue flashed forward, rushing to a distance of five zhang, and slammed his palm into the stone wall.

boom!

In an instant, the stone wall trembled and then cracked.

Layers of black stone, each about half a foot thick, fell down.

After the stone layer collapsed, a black stone door was revealed.

Black spiritual patterns were imprinted on the stone gate, emitting a dim light.

"It's a spirit-sealing restraint, but fortunately, the power of the restraint isn't very strong anymore. Xiao Jue, unleash a full-force attack with the God-Slaying Blade!"

"good!"

Qin Jue was also looking forward to what would happen after the stone gate. In response, the spiritual power in his dantian surged out wildly and poured into the God-Slaying Blade.

hum!

The God-Slaying Blade flashed with crimson light and emitted a buzzing sound!

"The Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

"Open it!"

Qin Jue's expression hardened, and he unleashed a slashing strike!

boom--

The God-Slaying Blade, flashing with crimson light, slammed into the stone gate.

With a loud crash, the hidden barrier on the stone door collapsed into a large swath of powerful black energy, forcing Qin Jue back several steps.

The stone door also cracked open with a snap, revealing several fissures.

"It's done!"

Qin Jue was overjoyed. He struck the door with his sword, and the door shattered into several large pieces that fell to the ground.

A burst of white light suddenly shone out, so bright that Qin Jue had to squint and could hardly look directly at it.

"Xiao Jue, you've struck it rich!"

An excited voice came from the God-Slaying Blade.

Qin Jue finally adjusted to the white light and opened his eyes to look at the stone chamber behind the stone door!

A large, silvery-white cauldron stands in a square stone chamber.

That radiant white light emanated from the cauldron.

Qin Jue flashed and leaped into the stone chamber.

Tick!

Suddenly, a drop of milky white liquid dripped from the stone wall above into the silvery-white cauldron.

Qin Jue suddenly looked up.

Above, there was still a natural stone wall. But hanging upside down on the stone wall was a white, cone-shaped stone spike.

The white, cone-shaped stone spikes looked somewhat damp.

Qin Jue swallowed hard, then exclaimed excitedly, "Sister Qingxue, what is this? Why do I feel so comfortable just breathing here? It's as if every breath I take is inhaling the purest spiritual energy!"

Liu Qingxue giggled and said, "That's why I said you've struck it rich! You're incredibly lucky. Not only did you see over two hundred naked women while suppressing bandits, but you also found the Soul Milk! And this cauldron is also a top-grade spiritual artifact. In the Nine Provinces Martial Dynasty, it should be considered one of the most top-tier spiritual artifacts!"
