279: Chapter 278: Southern Ghost Tomb Yinling City 279: Chapter 278: Southern Ghost Tomb Yinling City “No harm done, I’ll teach you spear technique another day,” Ye Xuan said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Mu Baicheng couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh.
It seed that it should have been Ye Xuan teaching him spear technique, not the other way around.
After all, the spear technique Ye Xuan had just displayed far exceeded his imagination.
“Try out the new Black God Spear,” Ye Xuan reminded.
Mu Baicheng looked towards the Black God Spear in his hand with a touch of confusion.
Could it be that there was so change to the Black God Spear?
Unbidden, Mu Baicheng began to execute the spear technique as Ye Xuan had instructed.
There was no change.
“Stop for a mont,” Ye Xuan said.
Mu Baicheng obediently ca to a halt.
“I an, have the Spirit Boat stop for a mont,” Ye Xuan repeated.
“Yes, Young Master!” It was then that Elder He reacted, hastily making the Flying Boat stop.
The two Middle Grade Spirit Boats carrying mbers of the three major powers had already advanced ahead.
The people from the three major powers on the two Middle Grade Spirit Boats were still in a state of shock.
They had yet to recover from the incident involving the soul of the Evil Flood Dragon.
Seeing that Ye Xuan’s High Grade Spirit Boat had stopped, they couldn’t help but turn back to look.
Boom!
The next mont, they witnessed a shocking scene.
A black spear light shot up into the sky, transforming into a black dragon that directly pierced the sky do, creating a massive hole.
From a distance, it looked as if the sky itself had been punctured!
It was awe-inspiring.
“What the hell?!”
The Sect Masters of the three major powers were completely dumbfounded.
Such a force may well have been beyond them by far.
Looking at that spear light, it seed that only Mu Baicheng could possibly achieve such a feat.
Although they had long known that Mu Baicheng was extraordinary, they had not expected him to be this powerful!
“It seems that within the Emperor Immortal Sect, there truly are many hidden experts…”
The Sect Masters of the three major powers all sighed inwardly, feeling the need to reassess the overall strength of the Emperor Immortal Sect.
And at this mont.
Aboard the High Grade Spirit Boat.
All the Emperor Immortal Sect disciples stared at Mu Baicheng, their eyes shifting from shock to amazent, glee, and then to worship.
“The Supre Elder is invincible!”
That recent spear thrust, which had co from Mu Baicheng, had pierced a hole through the sky—what terrifying strength was this?!
Not to ntion them, even Elder He was looking at Mu Baicheng with a face full of horror at this mont.
This man’s strength wasn’t greater than his own, so how could that spear thrust be even more dreadful?
Involuntarily, Elder He’s gaze turned to the Black God Spear in Mu Baicheng’s hands.
There was definitely sothing about the Black God Spear.
Otherwise, Mu Baicheng could have never unleashed such astonishing power!
“How does it feel?” Ye Xuan asked with a faint smile, looking at Mu Baicheng.
At this mont, Mu Baicheng looked utterly astounded and said eagerly upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, “Better than ever before!”
Mu Baicheng was completely enamoured with the Black God Spear.
He turned to Ye Xuan and asked, “What’s going on exactly?
Shouldn’t the soul of the Evil Flood Dragon have been the Artifact Spirit of the Black God Spear?
Why has it beco stronger after its destruction?”
Everyone looked towards Ye Xuan, puzzled.
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, “That creature was not the Artifact Spirit of the Black God Spear, but a fierce entity suppressed by the Black God Spear.
It was precisely because it was suppressing the fierce creature that the Black God Spear couldn’t exert its true power.
Now that the soul of the Evil Flood Dragon has been destroyed, the Black God Spear has naturally been liberated.”
“You can take this ti to re-sacrifice the Black God Spear, which will be very helpful for your strength later on,” he added.
“That’s how it is,” Mu Baicheng realized with a sudden enlightennt.
“But how do you know all this?” Mu Baicheng asked with a curious expression.
Ye Xuan smiled lightly, “I simply used my eyes.”
At these words, many people had an expression as if they were at a loss for words.
His answer made it sound as though they all lacked eyes…
Mu Baicheng was also left montarily speechless and did not inquire further.
He knew there were many secrets about Ye Xuan, and if Ye Xuan didn’t wish to share, he was not inclined to pry.
No matter what, today was a good day for him.
After today, he felt that his strength would advance even further!
“Let’s disperse, in a couple of days we will reach the Southern Ghost Tomb,” Ye Xuan announced, gesturing for people to leave as he took his leave.
Upon hearing this, people didn’t disperse imdiately but approached Mu Baicheng, hoping he would teach them the spear technique.
Mu Baicheng didn’t refuse, he perford the spear technique he hadn’t finished before from beginning to end once again.
Ye Xuan then returned to his own room.
“It seems that among the items retrieved from the Ghost Tomb, there are those that suppress evil spirits and fierce creatures.”
Ye Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, deep in thought.
To be honest, he had never actually set foot in the Southern Ghost Tomb.
For him back then, the Southern Ghost Tomb was just a minor secret realm, not a place he would naturally visit.
However, after listening to Mu Baicheng’s words, Ye Xuan had thought of sothing.
This Southern Ghost Tomb sohow reminded him of a certain forbidden land…
Then there was the matter of the Divine Sun Sword.
With a flip of his right hand, a tiny Pixiu the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan’s palm.
It was Tian Lu.
This ti, Ye Xuan had brought Tian Lu with him.
“When will I get to eat sothing good?” Tian Lu, having shrunk in size, spoke with a child-like voice, making it quite adorable.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan said with a laugh, “No rush, in three days you’ll get to eat, and don’t you forget what I told you.”
“I know it by heart,” Tian Lu snickered.
Ye Xuan gave a slight nod.
Tian Lu was one of his secrets for this venture into the Ghost Tomb.
As a Pixiu Holy Beast, Tian Lu possessed an unimaginable ability.
And that was in treasure hunting, where he could be said to be invincible.
The mother of Tian Lu, the Pixiu Holy Beast that guarded the Golden Pond Temple, once had the mighty power to swallow the wealth of the eight directions without spewing any out.
At that level, it was no longer a matter of treasure hunting, but treasure naturally coming to her, flying straight into the Pixiu Holy Beast’s mouth.
That was the true horror.
However, Tian Lu was only in the first stage of a Pixiu’s growth and far from such abilities.
Even so, treasure hunting was a trivial matter for it.
In three days, when the Southern Ghost Tomb opened, it would be ti for Tian Lu to display his divine skills.
The Spirit Boat resud its voyage.
Three Spirit Boats proceeded side by side.
But no matter how one looked at it, it seed like two Middle Grade Spirit Boats were acting as escorts.
This left the disciples of the three major powers feeling sowhat disgruntled.
However, they could only be disgruntled for a mont.
Two days later.
The three Spirit Boats simultaneously arrived at a grand city just outside the Southern Ghost Tomb.
This grand city was called Yinling City.
Taken from the na Yinling Ghost Tomb.
Within the Yinling Mountain Range, there lay the Ghost Tomb.
Together they were called the Southern Ghost Tomb Yinling City.
Yinling City was built jointly by many powers of the Southern Domain, with complicated interconnections, and basically every major power in the Southern Domain had a stake in it.
The Spiritual Boat Association was no exception.
However, the Spiritual Boat Association was more like a business guild than a Sect’s sacred land, so they did not send people over but instead auctioned off their slots to other powers.
And the Spiritual Boat Association was doing business, allowing cultivators from other powers to travel by Spirit Boat.
Generally, major powers would choose to charter an entire Spirit Boat to arrive at Yinling City.
For the Spiritual Boat Association, this was undoubtedly a huge profit.
“Wow, is that the legendary Yinling City?”
As Yinling City ca into view, the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were all agape in amazent.
“Damn, it’s ten tis, no, a hundred tis bigger than the Imperial City of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country!” Zhu Xiaofei exclaid in amazent.
Zhou Bingyi was even more like a liberated bird out of a cage, both excited and nervous.
“Yinling City, long ti no see…” Mu Baicheng was also standing on the deck, feeling sowhat emotional.
When he first ca here, he was a spirited young man.
Now, however, he had white hair.
“Yinling Ghost Tomb, quite interesting,” Ye Xuan said, rubbing his chin, intrigued.
Ye Xuan was probably the only one on the entire Spirit Boat who could maintain a calm deanor.
Even Zhou Youwei, who was usually as serene as still water, felt a ripple in her heart after witnessing the grandeur of Yinling City.
“Young Master, we’ve arrived at Yinling City, and your room is ready; here is the token, please take it,” Elder He respectfully bowed behind Ye Xuan.
“Mhmm,” Ye Xuan nodded slightly and unceremoniously took the token.
Looking at the vast Yinling City, he knew there would definitely be many coming for the Southern Ghost Tomb, and there would inevitably be competition for positions.
Having the Spiritual Boat Association’s involvent certainly made things much more convenient.
Seeing Ye Xuan accept the token, Elder He let out a small sigh of relief.
On the journey here, he had truly worried that Ye Xuan would be dissatisfied, but fortunately, the trip had gone perfectly, and Young Master Ye had accepted the token, which ant he could now report back to the vice chairman.
