Jiang Shi stood at the mouth of the valley, his eyes scanning the area, employing the [Insight] Talent, his pupils transford into high-powered microscopes, revealing all secrets within the valley to his eyes.
There were no more secrets at all.
Suddenly, his pupils narrowed slightly.
He saw from various spots in the shrubbery, countless strange ants appearing one after another.
These ants were different from ordinary ants, extraordinarily large, as big as fingers, with a surface that was pitch black, reflecting a tallic sheen.
At a glance, they were dense, in numbers that seed uncountable.
Among these countless strange ants, there were even many with wings, two-winged, four-winged, six-winged, eight-winged...
"Corpse-devouring demon ants."
Jiang Shi’s tone condensed.
After cautiously observing and weighing for a mont, his body flickered, employing the Flash Thunder Step, turning into a streak of lightning, rushing over in an instant.
As soon as he approached, the countless demon ants in the bushes sensed him, swiftly shooting forward like black lightning, densely rushing towards Jiang Shi’s body.
The speed was truly too fast.
Even though Jiang Shi was prepared, he couldn’t help but be secretly startled.
Without thinking, he instantly employed the Vajra Talent, Four Extres Celestial Slaughter Technique, Nine Dragon Dominating Demon Body, rapidly enlarging his physical body. His clothes tore, growing larger than three ters high; his skin radiated layers of divine bronze-colored light.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One by one, demon ants shot over, landing on his body, creating a clamor of tallic sounds, lighting up nurous splendid sparks on him.
These demon ants’ teeth were sharp; in the instant they shot over, they began fiercely biting down on his body, pouring countless toxins into Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi let out a cold grunt, his body simultaneously channeling Guiyuan, employing Immune to All Poisons, while white light shimred over his body, continuously recovering, a powerful shockwave expanding like a ripple, causing large swathes of demon ants to fall, dense and dropping.
Yet the demon ants were extrely tenacious; after falling, they quickly rose again, continuing to charge Jiang Shi’s body.
Seeing that these demon ants couldn’t harm his body, Jiang Shi inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
"Holy Spirit’s second ancestral return was indeed powerful; luckily, I was cautious and didn’t storm through earlier, otherwise, it would be a big problem."
Jiang Shi thought to himself.
With eyes shimring, he suddenly employed the Flash Thunder Step again, continuing to rapidly dash towards the depths of the canyon.
As he rushed out, more ants started charging from various corners and shrubs.
It was simply like black disaster.
Boundless, overwhelming black demon ants, dense like a black tide.
The entire sky was stained black.
Yet Jiang Shi cared not at all, charging wildly forward through the countless demon ant swarms, when unable to break through, he instantly employed the [Thunderbolt Talent].
In an instant, lightning flickered, brightness dazzling.
Bolt after bolt of thick lightning rampaged wildly, instantly striking countless demon ants flying in all directions.
Many demon ants fell to the ground, emitting green smoke.
Like that, he charged wildly onward, his steps unceasing.
About twenty minutes later.
Finally reaching the depths of the canyon.
A chaotic, unordered pile of stones stood silently at the forefront, appearing sowhat disorderly, like randomly arranged.
But upon closer inspection, one could see nurous strange runes etched on the stones, dense, profound, and obscure, hard to decipher.
Jiang Shi’s expression remained unchanged, silently watching the stone piles, stepping forward once more.
Upon passing through the stone piles, a mysterious stone array ca into view.
The entire stone array was ticulously constructed from huge stones, its layout strict, densely covered in runes, surrounded by over a dozen thick stone pillars.
At a glance, it exuded an obscure and mysterious aura.
"Teleportation array, this is the teleportation array..."
Jiang Shi murmured, his gaze deep and black, continuing to scrutinize the entire array.
Under the Insight Talent, nothing seed to escape him.
Every corner, every edge of the grand array entered his mind.
The more he looked, the more profound it seed.
The more he looked, the more advanced it appeared.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, as if discovering so mystery..
"Unexpected, truly unexpected, you old ghost haven’t completely dispersed, worthy of being the old man in the ring, a clever hare has three burrows, you’ve mastered this to perfection."
Jiang Shi’s tone was indifferent, with his clothes fluttering.
As if speaking to the air in front of him.
The array before him remained still, showing no abnormality.
As if everything was just Jiang Shi talking to himself.
"Why? Still unwilling to show yourself? Want to personally invite you out?"
Jiang Shi’s tone was indifferent, continuing to speak.
Brush!
On the ancient stone pillars, suddenly, a blur of white light emanated, runes blossod, exuding strange powerful energy.
A blurry transparent soul body instantly appeared in Jiang Shi’s view, ancient, desolate, surrounding him with an aura of old decay.
It’s that previous soul entity!
The opponent still hasn’t died!
Or rather, the opponent split in two, one part hidden in Lu Yan’s ring, the other part concealed here, recuperating.
"Can you tell how you discovered ?"
The transparent soul body spoke bleakly and helplessly.
"No!!"
Jiang Shi’s tone was cold and decisive.
The transparent soul body gave a bitter smile and said, "Young man, there doesn’t seem to be a huge enmity between us, does there? You’ve already killed my disciple, destroyed half my soul power; isn’t that enough to satisfy your anger?"
He paused, saying, "How about sparing this old man? I can help you; I dare not boast, but at least I am soone who has lived for thousands of years, possessing much knowledge, cultivation techniques, connections. These can provide imnse help to you; leaving alive is more aningful than killing ."
"Really?"
Jiang Shi furrowed his brow, saying, "You are willing to help ? I don’t quite believe it!"
"Are you worried I will seek revenge for my disciple?"
The transparent soul body sighed lightly, saying, "Truthfully, before this, I indeed thought about it, even wished for your thousands of deaths, but now you’ve personally sought out, I’ve already changed my mind; your value is greater to than Lu Yan’s. Lu Yan may be my disciple, but I’ve already sacrificed half my soul power; there’s no need to continue the wrong path. Spare once, and I can abandon all hatred."
He still had many grand ambitions unfinished.
He also had imnse grudges unavenged!
Unwilling to entirely accompany Lu Yan in burial!
Lu Yan was rely a disciple on his life journey!
Back then, he divided his soul here precisely to prepare for the day his enemies would find him, leading to a tragic death.
This place is the retreat he prepared!
"Abandon all hatred? Easier said than done."
Jiang Shi’s tone was indifferent, saying, "But how am I supposed to trust you?"
