Many Children And Many Blessings, I Am Flourishing In The Immortal Cultivation World
Chapter 45 There Is Still One Alive
"This is the embodiment of the righteousness of a hero."
Tang Youran sighed deeply.
"You should keep this formation for now."
Chen Daoxuan handed the Qianren Sword Formation to Tang Youran: "There are many materials within the imperial dynasty. If you set up this formation in the palace, it will ensure your safety."
"Alright, after I set up the formation, I will send it back to you."
Tang Youran was not polite either. In reality, the two of them were already like husband and wife. Tang Youran also knew Chen Daoxuan's character, so there was no need for fake politeness.
Chen Daoxuan had his own considerations.
Although this formation was incredibly powerful, it was still an Eight Grade formation, divided into eight layers, which was extremely rare. Even cultivators who had mastered this spatial formation could only learn up to the fourth layer.
The fourth layer was already capable of withstanding peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even powerful Soul Formation Stage experts couldn't completely break through it in a short period of time.
And in the entire Zhou Kingdom, there were only a few Soul Formation experts, all of whom were sect leaders or elders within their respective sects.
It was impossible for them to conflict with the imperial dynasty.
The most important thing was that the materials required to set up this formation were extremely extravagant.
Just the Xuantie Sword at the center of the formation.
It required thousand-year Xuantie, which could only be forged by a Soul Formation Stage blacksmith, who would spend eighty-one days forging it.
Currently, Chen Daoxuan alone did not have the ability to do so. Tang Youran, as the empress of a country, had some possibility of successfully setting up the grand formation if she had the resources. If that were the case, Tang Youran would not need to worry about her safety within the palace.
Unless those Transcendent Level experts made a move, no matter what formation was set up, it would be useless.
"Elder, I will take care of your remains. In the future, I will find your sect and let you return home with honor!"
Chen Daoxuan said solemnly.
Even when cultivators died, they hoped to return to their roots. Chen Daoxuan carefully collected the body.
To possess such a formation, Chen Daoxuan speculated that this senior was likely from an immortal sect.
Although he currently had no clues, given enough time, he would slowly find some traces.
"Where are those demonic cultivators?"
Tang Youran suddenly thought of something.
This spatial area was not very large, and everywhere she looked, it was plains covered in flowers and grass. There were many spiritual trees emitting a rich fragrance, but she did not see any trace of demonic cultivators.
"They should be over there."
Chen Daoxuan's gaze fell below the house, which was located at the center of the entire space.
Chen Daoxuan surveyed his surroundings and quickly noticed the candlestick on the table. He lightly grasped it, and a faint light flashed. Indeed, this candlestick was the key to opening the entire space.
As the light dissipated, a huge circular pit appeared on the ground, emitting an extremely ancient aura.
Chen Daoxuan sensed it briefly.
There were no signs of life below, so he jumped down directly. Tang Youran did not hesitate and followed Chen Daoxuan down.
The space below was not very large.
There were ten skeletons lying on the ground, their deaths tragic and their expressions twisted. Many of the bones were black and red in color, still emitting the aura of demonic cultivators despite the passage of time. Moreover, most of the skeletons had severe injuries, with clear marks of being hacked and slashed.
There were also scattered bone fragments all over the ground.
Chen Daoxuan's brows furrowed sharply when he saw it.
It's quite obvious.
After being trapped here for a long time, these demonic cultivators began to cannibalize each other due to the lack of energy and food. In the end, when there was nothing left to eat, they starved to death.
When cultivators reach a certain level of cultivation, they can enter a state of fasting.
For example, when they reach the Foundation Building Stage, they can eat once a month and rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish their body's energy.
If they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they can go without eating anything at all.
Of course, most cultivators, unless they are in seclusion, still choose to eat because the taste of food is something that very few people can resist.
Although Chen Daoxuan didn't know how strong the owners of these skeletons were in their lifetime, judging from the faint aura emanating from the skeletons, they were at least at the Nascent Soul stage, which means they could have easily gone without eating.
But these guys were trapped here.
All the spiritual energy in this space has been drained, and they can't absorb any of it. Over endless years, they naturally became hungry and unable to continue, so they started cannibalizing each other.
Only demonic cultivators like them would be capable of eating the bodies of their companions.
Chen Daoxuan casually searched and found several rings, necklaces, and other spatial items. Apart from some weapons, all the pills, herbs, and even books had been eaten clean.
Even if they were at the Nascent Soul stage, they were no different from ordinary people before they died.
Chen Daoxuan continued searching and found two Spiritual Weapons. They had been there for too long and had a decaying aura, so they were basically unusable.
Although it was a bit regrettable, the harvest was still not bad. There were several rare materials in the spatial items, and because the time and space inside the items were frozen, these rare materials could still be used.
Chen Daoxuan also found a token.
On its surface was a huge skull with a blood dripping pattern behind it.
It should be the sect of these demonic cultivators.
Chen Daoxuan furrowed his brows slightly, sensing something unusual. According to his knowledge, there were no demonic cultivator sects in this area, which means these guys were likely from another region.
Thousands of years ago, how could a group of demonic cultivators and two powerful disciples from immortal sects end up here?
Could it be that a Supreme Grade treasure appeared in this area?
Just as Chen Daoxuan was contemplating, he suddenly felt something and swiftly grabbed Tang Youran's waist, jumping up abruptly.
"Poof!"
A spike suddenly appeared beneath Chen Daoxuan's feet.
"Nascent Soul?"
Chen Daoxuan narrowed his eyes suddenly.
Luckily, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been impaled on the spot!
"Damn... How did you sense it..."
An incredibly old voice slowly emerged.
Then, the distant earthen wall began to move slowly, revealing a figure that was extremely old, with skin clinging to the bones, like a living skeleton, slowly crawling down.
"It's really hard for you, old man, to squeeze out your flesh and root yourself in the soil to barely survive for so long."
Chen Daoxuan sensed that the spiritual energy in this old man's body had been completely drained, and the remaining trace of spiritual energy had been used for the attack just now. Now, even a three-year-old child could easily knock him down.
This was a self-destructive cultivation method that was of no benefit to oneself.
Squeezing out the flesh from the body was already extremely painful, and when the meridians and blood vessels were completely disrupted, these demonic cultivators would do anything to survive.
