"Nuogao, left side with Three Stars, right side with Three Prisons, upheaval, all nine ways are blocked..." Li Yan imdiately clasped his left hand in a mantra, performing Step Gang Stepping.
Divine Skills are suppressed in this place, but spells can still be used.
Moreover, magic artifacts will appear.
Li Yan didn’t understand the principle, but it didn’t prevent the newly acquired Brocade Arm Protector "Thousand Thoughts" from showing its formidable power.
Buzzing!
The North Emperor’s Protective Spell was accomplished, and the Demon Suppression Coin and Fish Scale Armor on the arm guard trembled in unison, the Astra Bane Qi rolling fiercely.
In an instant, a protective shield ford around him.
Moreover, the fierce and swift killing intent directly shattered the evil spirits rushing in.
Li Yan raised his hand and stood, a strong wind howled within tens of ters around him, shadows were swept into it, turning to nothingness.
"Brother Yan is mighty!"
Sha Lifei laughed heartily, feeling relieved.
Li Yan shook his head slightly and said, "Ultimately, you’ll have to face them, first gather your spirit and calm your Qi, see if you can find a way to leave?"
Sha Lifei didn’t waste words, lay down, and slept.
He hadn’t yet practiced, so he could only use this clumsy thod.
Perhaps due to extre ntal tension and relaxation, Sha Lifei quickly started snoring.
And his figure gradually faded.
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, focused his mind, and the protective spell exploded with full force. The fierce wind howled, the killing intent spreading outward from him rapidly, sweeping the surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings beca dead silent again.
Upon seeing this, Li Yan shook his head slightly.
Without Divine Skills to detect, he couldn’t discern the strength of the evil spirits, only focused on saving Sha Lifei, unaware they were so easily defeated.
The legendary "Cold Forest," is definitely more than this!
Possibly, he has yet to encounter the true power of this place.
Looking around, Li Yan was no longer inclined to stay, guarding his spirit, his form gradually faded.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Yan suddenly felt a sensation in his heart, looking up at the sky with a furrowed brow.
Though Divine Skills were suppressed, he faintly sensed sothing in the air seed to be watching him...
...
Creak~
Inside the ruined temple, Li Yan woke up, pushed the door, and went out.
Outside was already bright daylight, a long-missed warm sun appeared again, and the snow in the canyon began to lt.
Li Yan turned his head to look at the ruined temple.
The Yin Sha Qi here is heavy, the monks’ Divine Souls on the ground have mostly beco evil spirits in the "Corpse Forest," if left unchecked, the flesh might undergo anomalies.
He stacked the bodies, then took a small bottle of kerosene from his backpack, and poured it on before setting it ablaze.
Once again using Armored Horse, he flew away wrapped in the swirling snow, leaving the ruined temple to gradually collapse in the raging fire...
Back at Bamboo Forest Small House, Sha Lifei was already awake.
He was helping Lv San arrange the magic platform, while the little white fox was also assisting with items in its mouth, as for the Yu family father and son, they were still roasting tea.
Roasting this Spiritual Tea takes quite a ti, they need to take advantage of the good weather for the first drying, aiming to finish before Li Yan and others head to Qingcheng Mountain.
"Brother Yan, you’re back?"
"How is it?"
"Everything is ready."
Lv San took out a peculiar grass scent pouch from his bosom, "I used the Secret Technique from the ’Zhilan Scripture,’ grafting Resurrection Grass with spirit wood, creating this."
"In tonight’s ritual, as long as Old Sha holds this, withstands the pressure, he can awaken his Divine Skills from fear."
"Hmm, it will definitely succeed!"
Looking at the grass scent pouch, Li Yan couldn’t help feeling sentintal.
Practice is sotis really dependent on fate.
So people awaken Divine Skills at a young age, so are extraordinarily gifted, while those like Sha Lifei can only risk life and death to try their luck.
The key is that this thing also has a threshold.
How many people have the opportunity to obtain Spirit Grass, with the Chu Witch painstakingly setting up the altar, and places like the "Corpse Forest" which are legendary cultivation grounds.
Even so, the chances of failure are not small.
Everyone’s mood was heavy, and they didn’t speak much, silently preparing various things, and before they knew it, night fell again.
This ti, they moved outdoors.
The magic platform of the Chu Witch is sowhat different from the Taoists, using three fire basins as pivots, symbolizing the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
Lv San was also very solemn, dressed in animal skins and a floral grass crown, carrying a magic wand made of various animal tails.
These things are ordinary magic artifacts.
On his journey over mountains and ridges, occasionally encountering bloodthirsty demons with burgeoning intelligence, he would slay them, perform sacrifices, and refine them.
The outfit was worn for the first ti, showing its formality.
"Let’s begin!"
Lv San nodded slightly to Sha Lifei and Li Yan.
Both of them were now at the center of the magic platform.
Sha Lifei had already reached the appointed ti, with drowsiness surging like a tide, he hurriedly placed the Resurrection Grass Incense Pouch in his mouth. Just as he lay down, he entered dreamland.
anwhile, Li Yan sat cross-legged in ditation beside him.
He had already mastered the trick, easily entering the "Corpse Forest."
Soon, he also closed his eyes.
Seeing the two enter dreamland, Lv San put on the Nuo Mask and started a Nuodance by the firelight, producing a click of his tongue and waving the magic wand with a beast tail in his hands.
The ancient spell chants were comprehensible only to Lv San.
In the distance, the Yu father and son stood guard with knives, the little white fox watched cautiously, while Rat One, Rat Two, and the Eagle Falcon Lidong monitored the surroundings within ten miles...
...
Li Yan opened his eyes again, having entered the Corpse Forest.
He saw that Sha Lifei, who had arrived earlier, was full of curiosity, observing the surroundings.
"What’s the matter?"
Li Yan asked.
Sha Lifei’s expression was sowhat peculiar, "Wow, there’s a cold air continuously coming out of my mouth, and my mind has never been this clear before, and I can see farther."
"It’s the Resurrection Grass Incense Pouch."
Li Yan explained: "The Resurrection Grass itself is beneficial to the Divine Soul, and since San’er refined it into a Magic Artifact, it naturally makes your Divine Soul more sensitive."
"However, the pressure brought by those things is also greater. I’ll construct a building for you later to provide so backing. If you really can’t hold on, quickly co in to take refuge."
"We still have a chance, make sure not to force it."
"Alright, alright..."
Sha Lifei nodded with a smile, but in his heart, he sighed.
Li Yan’s words were just ant to comfort him.
He had already thoroughly inquired with Lv San; if they didn’t succeed this ti, the opportunity for awakening next ti would be even more remote.
Li Yan said no more, making the mantra and storing his god, quietly watching the front.
Just as in the Illusion Realm, a large number of stones appeared out of thin air, Astra Bane Qi flowed, and in the howling wind, a palace gradually erged.
This manifestation from nothing is truly wondrous.
Unfortunately, it can only be perford in this Corpse Forest.
After all, this place is purely a spiritual space, while outside, creating things from nothing is the stuff of legendary immortals.
The palace gradually rose, one floor, two floors, three floors...
Li Yan didn’t want to reveal too much, as he also had to build the Yin Sea, Luo Feng Mountain, and the Palace of Relentless Commander.
It was not only ti-consuming and labor-intensive but would create too much commotion.
Three floors were enough to shelter Sha Lifei.
Just as Li Yan finished constructing the tower out of nothing, Lv San outside also activated his spells, sprinkling a handful of incense into three fire basins.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three flas rose, and a mysterious aura flowed.
"Corpse Forest" also manifested anomalies.
Only to see from all directions, an evil wind whistled at once, as if the entire Corpse Forest’s evil spirits were attracted over.
Sha Lifei gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged.
Suddenly, three flas appeared beside him as well.
This was Lv San’s ritual outside, activating his three flas that seed the sa as the Life Fire on Li Yan’s Daluo Dharma Body, yet they were different things.
These three Life Fires were both a safeguard and a symbol.
Sha Lifei had to endure them himself; if he extinguished the Life Fires out of fear, not only would the ritual fail, but his Divine Soul would also be damaged, needing at least half a year of rest.
Woosh~
The fierce wind howled, and the shrill cries continued.
Almost in an instant, turbulent black mist approached from all directions, with shadows within and blood-red eyes densely packed like stars.
Fortunately, Lv San’s magic platform was very effective.
The black mist swirled around, the Life Fire flickered unsteadily but continued to function, keeping those entities at bay.
Sha Lifei, after battling with the evil spirits for so ti, grew bolder, gritting his teeth and staring fiercely around him.
Li Yan took a glance, afraid of affecting Sha Lifei, and then walked directly into his own palace.
The feeling was very similar to when he was cultivating.
Li Yan vaguely understood that building a tower and cultivating in this place, even if successful, only allowed one’s spirit to detach and slip through the cracks into the Daluo Law Realm.
Equivalent to a stowaway, also the lowest class of Ghost Immortal.
For others, it might be a great opportunity, but he knew, after seeing so things, that using this thod was no better than staying in the world, free and happy.
Ascending to Divinity might not be as beautiful as imagined.
At this ti, Li Yan sensed sothing and looked up.
That feeling of being watched,
had appeared once again...
