"Nuwa Divine Technique, combined with this Demonic Technique, if the Witch successfully cultivates it, she can ascend to immortality!"
Wang Lingzhan said gravely.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"But this Demonic Technique is not sothing a living being can cultivate. Thirty years ago, the Witch died of her own accord. It took her thirty years to return here, and she should have avoided the Demonic Technique. But now, the appearance of the Demon Embryo has reignited her fervent desire!"
Wang Lingzhan said, looking deeply at Wang Ying's abdon.
"No wonder the Witch is so passionate about the Demon Embryo. If she obtains it, she can also cultivate the Demonic Technique. Then she would beco the deity of this Huaxia nation!"
Wang Yue's face turned pale.
"Indeed, when the Demon Embryo successfully cultivates the Demonic Technique, it will form a Demon Crystal. The Witch claims she wants to discipline the Demon Embryo, but in reality, it is all about the Demon Embryo's Demon Crystal."
Wang Lingzhan nodded.
"Then let her try, even if it leads to death, I will not give my child to her!"
Wang Ying's face turned cold.
Previously, she might have considered her own interests, but now, with her child inside her abdon, she only thinks about her child's well-being as a mother.
Yang Tian remained silent.
If the Witch truly desires the Demon Embryo, opposing her ans seeking death.
The only option now is to find the Ghost Spirit Demon Beast and the Immortal Level Magical Treasure, and then imdiately leave this place.
Escape as far away as possible!
Thinking of this, Yang Tian looked at Wang Lingzhan: "Protector Wang, do you know where the Ghost Vault is?"
"You want..."
Wang Lingzhan looked at Yang Tian in confusion.
"I want to find a few Ghost Spirit Beasts and several Immortal Level Magical Treasures directly from the Ghost Vault and then leave the Ninefold Heaven imdiately!"
Yang Tian said.
"Indeed, big brother, we ca here to find Taigong, Ghost Spirit Demon Beasts, and Immortal Level Magical Treasures. Once we find them, we can leave without having to confront the Witch!"
Wang Yue also supported Yang Tian's idea.
"Yang Tian, I do know where the Ghost Vault is. I initially thought it was a legend, but the attack of five Demon Beasts suggests the Ghost Vault is real! I can take you to the Ghost Vault." Pausing for a mont, Wang Lingzhan added, "However, the Demon Beasts and Magical Treasures in the Ghost Vault are also interested in the Demon Embryo, and they might be the first to want to kill Nuwa!
Yang Tian frowned.
After glancing at Wang Ying and her swollen abdon, he said solemnly, "The most dangerous place is the safest. Let's go to the Ghost Vault!"
Under Wang Lingzhan's lead, everyone drifted towards the sky.
Boom!
Wang Lingzhan took out a scepter that represented the mana of the Ninefold Heaven and swung it violently, breaking open a crack. Along this crack, everyone entered the eighth layer continent directly.
Above the seventh layer continent, there were generally no high-level Demon Beasts and Magical Treasures.
Firstly, the Witch had already hunted them all down.
Secondly, the high-level Demon Beasts and Magical Treasures had already hidden in the Ghost Vault.
So Wang Lingzhan used the scepter to strike another crack, directly entering the ninth layer continent.
"I've been here for thirty years, and there's a legend that the Ghost Vault is at the Abyss of the Spirit Lake. I'm taking you there now!"
Wang Lingzhan led Yang Tian and the others flying towards the Spirit Lake.
Along the way, it was very safe and calm.
However, this safety made Yang Tian sowhat anxious. The Witch is the owner of the Ninefold Heaven, so why has she not co to hunt them down?
With Wang Lingzhan opening the entrances to both the eighth and ninth layer continents, shouldn't the Witch know?
Yang Tian shook his head: Forget it, the most important thing now is to seize ti to find the Ghost Spirit Demon Beasts and Immortal Level Magical Treasures. Once found, imdiately leave. More worries are futile.
Soon, the group arrived at the Spirit Lake in the center of the mountain range.
The water of the Spirit Lake was blood-red, and there was no sign of life for dozens of kiloters around, making it very eerie.
"Taigong, is the Ghost Vault really here? This place feels very eerie..."
Wang Yue tightly held Yang Tian's hand.
"According to legend, the Ghost Vault is in this Spirit Lake! If the Ghost Vault truly exists, then the legend is true!"
Wang Lingzhan said.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe inside the Spirit Lake.
However, what made him frown was that the Spirit Lake was filled with blood-red light, and he could not detect anything below, only a vague view.
"Yang, what's it like? Can you detect the situation below?"
Ling Ying asked.
Yang Tian shook his head: "No."
"That's troubling!"
Wang Ying said, unable to help but touch her abdon.
For so reason, being near the Spirit Lake, Wang Ying felt the fetus inside her abdon occasionally moving, but it wasn't unrest, agitation, or anxiety. Instead, it was a gentle touch.
"This Spirit Lake is filled with corpse water, even the Witch hesitates to co here. Divine Sense probes down, and it's almost impossible to see through!"
Wang Lingzhan said.
"Right, Divine Sense probes down, and it's impossible to detect the situation below!"
Yang Tian nodded.
Right at that mont, Wang Ying suddenly exclaid: "Yang Tian, the fetus seems to be reacting..."
Yang Tian looked at Wang Ying's abdon, seeing a black, star-like gas emanating from inside the fetus, directly enveloping Yang Tian.
"I can sense the situation inside the Spirit Lake!"
Yang Tian said excitedly.
Absorbing the black gas, he could clearly perceive the situation at the bottom of the Spirit Lake.
At the Abyss of the Spirit Lake, he saw a complex of palace-like buildings.
"What's below?"
Wang Lingzhan instinctively asked.
"There's a palace!"
Yang Tian replied.
"That's it, this is the Ghost Vault! Incredible, the legend is real, the Ghost Vault truly exists!"
Wang Lingzhan exclaid excitedly.
"Wait here for a mont, I'll go down to see what exactly is going on!"
Yang Tian said and directly plunged into the Spirit Lake, swimming toward the Ghost Palace below.
The blood water in the Spirit Lake continuously surged toward Yang Tian, attempting to devour his soul, but it was all purified by the demonic aura emanating from Yang Tian's body.
Along the way, Yang Tian traveled unimpeded.
Soon, he arrived at the top of the palace in the depths of the Spirit Lake's abyss.
Even though this was the Ghost Vault, Yang Tian could still safely and directly land inside the palace. However, a low growl soon echoed around him.
All the low growls were coming from demon beasts.
There were both Human Spirit Beasts and Ghost Spirit Beasts.
Suddenly, Yang Tian felt a bit dizzy.
He probed around and saw beasts staring toward him.
There were about a hundred Human Spirit Beasts and dozens of Ghost Spirit Beasts.
This number was terrifying.
He knew he was not a match for these demon beasts, capturing a Ghost Spirit Demon Beast in the Ghost Vault was a very difficult task, so after a while, he quickly withdrew from the palace.
While leaving the palace, Yang Tian noticed that at the top of the palace, there was a Pearl Tower with a pearl emanating a formidable glow.
Seeing this pearl, Yang Tian frowned.
He used his Divine Sense to probe inside the pearl, discovering it was a switch for the palace.
Moreover, inscribed on the pearl were words: This is the key to the Ghost Vault. Once opened, the Ghost Vault will be destroyed, allowing outside beings to enter and inside beings to exit.
Yang Tian wanted to investigate further, but a beastly roar arose. Fearing delays, he quickly retreated.
"Big Brother, what did you find?"
Upon Yang Tian's ergence from the water, Wang Yue asked anxiously.
"There is indeed a Ghost Vault below, but the demon beasts inside are very powerful, and their numbers are quite large. We need to find a way to lure them out!"
Yang Tian replied.
"That's very challenging! According to legend, the demon beasts and Magical Treasures inside the Ghost Vault rarely erge, and it's tough for outside beings to enter. The vault only opens once every mid-month, and only so demon beasts and treasures can exit."
Wang Lingzhan said.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt disappointed: "How can we lure out the demon beasts?"
Yang Tian had just thought of that pearl, but then a crisp voice rang: "In the Ghost Vault, there is a pearl. Once broken, the beasts and treasures inside can rush out."
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled: "Witch!"
Near the Spirit Lake, a figure appeared, none other than the Witch.
"No wonder we couldn't sense you all the way here, you were waiting for us!"
Yang Tian said coldly.
"That's right!" The Witch giggled, "I am the one who created the Ninefold Heaven. Naturally, I know where you want to go!"
"Then what do you want?"
Wang Yue asked angrily.
"I want the Demon Embryo!"
The Witch smiled sweetly.
Yang Tian was stunned, finding the Witch's smile beautiful, yet deadly. He resud his cold deanor: "Witch, the Demon Record you left on the Demon Embryo has been erased..."
"I know, but I have thousands of ways to obtain the Demon Embryo."
The Witch giggled again.
To her, it seed that Yang Tian and the others were no threat, nothing could stop her from obtaining the Demon Embryo.
"Witch, thirty years ago you died due to demonic techniques. Even with the Demon Embryo, you cannot successfully cultivate it! This is your fate, dood to remain in the Ninefold Heaven forever!"
Wang Lingzhan said firmly.
"Shut up!"
The Witch suddenly beca furious.
With a wave of her jade-like hand, a Dharma Seal struck Wang Lingzhan heavily.
Bang!
A booming sound occurred, and Wang Lingzhan was struck dead, his soul remaining afloat in mid-air.
"Witch, you..."
Yang Tian's expression darkened.
He hadn't expected the Witch to act so quickly.
"Thirty years ago, this dog took over the Ninefold Heaven while I was away, proclaiming himself the Guardian of the continent? Ridiculous, a dog will always be a dog, unable to change its fate! I am the true master of the Ninefold Heaven, destined to claim the Demonic Technique. Soon, I will achieve Ascension to Immortality and beco the first immortal being in two thousand years, hahahaha..."
The Witch laughed heartily.
A dominant aura surged out from her.
Everyone was immobilized.
Yet, Yang Tian suddenly asked: "Witch, how much of your power have you restored?"
"Is that your question? You seek death!"
The Witch's face turned ice-cold as she prepared to strike Yang Tian down, but Yang Tian suddenly drew the Holy Sword, saying: "I assu you haven't fully regained your powers, have you? As such, over these two thousand years, with you constantly hunting demon beasts and refining Magical Treasures, today, I let the demon beasts and treasures of the Ninefold Heaven exact their revenge!"
"Revenge?" The Witch halted: "Yang Tian, what are you up to?"
Yang Tian did not answer her question. Instead, he raised the Holy Sword, absorbing the black gas emitted from the Demon Embryo.
Then, he swung the sword fiercely toward the Spirit Lake's abyss.
Bang!
The Holy Sword, stained with demonic aura, cut through everything in its path, directly shattering the pearl atop the Ghost Vault's palace in one blow.
Owooo!
Eek!
Moo!
A cacophony of beastly cries echoed, making the entire Spirit Lake boil, while the Witch's face turned somber: "You're seeking death, you've opened the Ghost Vault!"
