Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

"?"

The two of them looked confused, then suddenly screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, their flesh and skin continuously falling off.

"It's a different kind of spiritual energy!"

"How... could you not be affected..."

Lin Xiu stood at a distance, holding a stack of "Mysterious Ice Shields" in his hand to guard against the two's counterattack, with a cold expression on his face.

"You will know after reincarnation!"

After struggling for a few breaths, the two finally turned into two skeletons. Even in this state, they still rolled towards Lin Xiu, venting their resentment.

Regarding this talisman formation,

He was a talisman master, not only skilled in refining, but also knowledgeable in breaking formations.

The talisman paper and talisman brush had been ruled out by him, so he could only find a solution in the spiritual ink.

There was no trace of the formation on the ground, either it was deeply buried underground or floating on the surface.

Different kind of spiritual energy!

An idea formed in his mind in an instant.

As long as someone could display the fearless spirit of sacrificing their life and step into the thunder, absorbing all these different kinds of spiritual energy into their body, wouldn't this talisman formation be immediately broken?

Then, these two unlucky guys would be delivered to him.

He stared at the clusters of ethereal objects in front of him, carefully avoiding them, while the two behind him almost all collided with them.

Originally, Lin Xiu was worried that the two would immediately notice, but they seemed completely unaware, which greatly surprised him.

As Red Sister said, this thing not only could escape divine sense, but also easily passed through the protective clothing and spiritual energy, and the person affected wouldn't feel it at first.

"Hoo!"

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned with his hand, and collected the storage bags from the two. He then looked vigilantly at the things hovering above the skeletons, his mind racing.

He took out a jade bottle containing "Returning Spirit Pills" from one of the storage bags, swallowed a few, and poured out the rest.

"Collect!"

He formed a hand seal and placed the jade bottle on top of the different kind of spiritual energy, intending to collect it.

But no matter how he moved his fingers, the silver-white clusters of energy remained motionless.

"It seems that we are not destined!" Lin Xiu was extremely disappointed, but dared not touch it, so he turned around and surveyed the current environment.

The surrounding mist seemed to be gradually thinning, and he could even feel the light coming from above.

This thing was the "Spiritual Ink" used to refine this huge talisman formation. The person who came up with this method was truly a genius in formations and talisman dao!

The person who set up the formation had misled everyone.

Now, with a corner of the talisman formation broken by him, its effectiveness had decreased, and he could already sense the direction of the talisman formation's runes. Following these runes was the key to breaking this situation.

Holding a spiritual stone, he replenished the consumed spiritual energy while carefully moving towards that direction.

In front of "Azure Pupil Illusion and Reality," those faint silver spiritual energies were unable to hide.

Lin Xiu was very glad that he had made this decision earlier. If he hadn't prepared in advance and abandoned this seemingly useless ability, he would have ended up like these Independent Cultivators.

After walking cautiously for almost two days, the ground suddenly loosened under his feet, and his vision brightened. He had actually walked out!

It wasn't the entrance, but the secret space blocked by the white mist behind!

Above his head was a huge half-circle spiritual energy barrier spanning tens of thousands of miles, emitting a milky white light, like a sky inverted, covering the entire secret space. But what he saw was a vast yellow desert.

There was not a single living creature in sight, but there were countless bone mountains made up of the skeletons of various giant monsters standing in the desert!

Ancient aura, indifferent and desolate, completely different from what Lin Xiu had imagined, full of spiritual energy and treasures.

There wasn't even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation here!

"As expected, as the books said, this secret space is only a few hundred thousand miles in diameter. It shouldn't be difficult to find Ji Ning!"

Looking back, he saw the thick fog still rolling like a white mist, dispelling any thoughts of going back.

Throughout the journey, he didn't sense Ji Ning's presence and was afraid that he might have missed her due to issues with the route.

But his intuition told him that Ji Ning wasn't trapped or fallen within this maze, but rather somewhere in the yellow sandy land right in front of him!

Without the restriction of the formation, he stepped onto his flying sword and observed from mid-air.

"This formation that blocks the entrance extends for thousands of miles. No wonder even a Nascent Soul cultivator can't get out. It's a huge maze!" he exclaimed.

Taking out the communication talisman he had with Ji Ning,

"Are you still alive, my lady?"

He had used this communication talisman several times in the maze, but there was no response. It seemed that the sticky substance had isolated the spiritual energy in the space.

The talisman remained silent.

Lin Xiu furrowed his brows. The communication talisman was made by powerful beings using the spiritual energy that exists in the world. But the spiritual energy here was so thin that it was practically nonexistent, rendering the talisman useless.

"Now that I'm here, I hope your luck as a cockroach is still holding up!"

...

In most secret realms, the center is usually the core area where the best treasures are found. After determining the location, he attached dozens of protective talismans to his body and swiftly flew towards it.

As he flew, he saw nothing but yellow sand and giant bones beneath his feet, indicating how powerful these demonic beasts were in their lifetime, yet they all died here for some unknown reason.

However, he had a sense of unease in his heart.

He faintly felt as if he had stumbled into a well-planned trap, fearing that he, like Ji Ning and those cultivators, had become prey in this grand scheme.

But he quickly pushed these thoughts aside. Rescuing Ji Ning and leaving this place was the most important thing.

His flying sword had long been replaced with a "Big Benz" from a certain Fellow Daoist, which was fast and stable.

Even so, it took him tens of thousands of miles of flying before he finally saw a towering crimson tree, dozens of zhang high, with lush branches and leaves.

A huge city was almost completely covered by the canopy of this crimson tree, giving off an extremely eerie and sinister vibe.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiu suddenly thought of the banyan tree known as "a forest on its own."

It looked very similar, but there were too many sinister elements.

Flying around the city on his flying sword, he encountered no danger.

But seeing the densely packed branches and leaves covering the city like a lid, he decisively gave up the idea of charging in.

Lin Xiu sensed fluctuations in spiritual energy and decided to contact Ji Ning first.

Stopping in mid-air from a distance, he took out the communication talisman again.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, can you hear me?"

After a while, the talisman vibrated.

"Coward? Why did you come... hurry and leave!" Ji Ning's tone was extremely anxious.

Lin Xiu pretended not to hear and asked, "Are you in a city covered by trees?"

"Hurry... leave! I don't need you to... save me. Watch your step!"

Lin Xiu touched his nose.

This stubborn woman, even with her life talisman almost shattered, she still had a sharp tongue!

Watch his step?

He immediately glanced at the ground below.

Then, suddenly, the calm ground rippled like water, creating dozens of smooth ripples, and a sense of danger surged up in an instant!

Not good!

The spiritual energy beneath his feet surged, and he quickly ascended dozens of zhang high on his flying sword.

In an instant, dozens of gigantic worm-like demonic beasts emerged from the ground!
