Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng each held a chain of Divine Sense properties wrapped around Ji Longchuan’s left and right hands with one hand.
A slight surge of montum erged within them, as the blood energy evaporated from Wei Kongming and others’ bodies entered Ji Longchuan, then rapidly flowed through the chains into Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng’s bodies.
Ji Longchuan was in wrenching agony, used as a conduit for transferring power, his soul feeling a burning pain with each occurrence. His hoarse voice was spine-chilling in the stone chamber.
Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng showed not a trace of sympathy; instead, they were filled with a sense of satisfaction. Their bodies exuded rolling blood energy, along with a pungent sll of blood.
After a while.
Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng released the chains of Divine Sense properties, and Ji Longchuan, who floated above the blood pool, felt filled with unwillingness and anger, tornted by his forr friends. The pain was indescribable, and now he was completely controlled, regretting his blindness.
Zhao Hongwei expressed comfortably, "A few more tis, and I’ll be able to break through to another minor layer."
Qian Hengsheng nodded, "Now that we have this heaven-defying thod, it seems highly likely we’ll reach the Divine King Realm in our lifetis."
Zhao Hongwei looked at the disheveled Ji Longchuan floating above the blood pool and said, "We really should thank our old friend here! If not for him, obtaining a Seventh-Level Heavenly God Realm Ghost Cultivator wouldn’t have been so easy."
Ji Longchuan knew he was powerless to resist. He seed to resign himself to fate, lowering his head without speaking.
Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng found no fun and left the stone chamber.
Here, there were two passages: one leading to the back mountain, and another leading into Fla Heaven Valley.
Earlier, on the way to Fla Heaven Valley, Ye Chenfeng learned from Wei Kongming that each day after absorbing the blood energy, Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng would leave and not return to the stone chamber until the next day.
As the two elders left, the heavy stone door of the chamber closed automatically, a blood-red formation flickering upon the door.
Ye Chenfeng, in his small world, had been watching everything outside closely!
His figure appeared within the stone chamber.
The initially head-hung Ji Longchuan suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Ye Chenfeng with confusion and asked hoarsely, "Who are you? How did you appear here?"
Over twenty Ghost Cultivators, including Wei Kongming, erged from the blood pool.
The effect of the Soul-Return Seal was not entirely gone. Their act was rely to prevent Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng from suspecting, so they hadn’t exposed themselves, and Zhao Hongwei and Qian Hengsheng hadn’t noticed that these Ghost Cultivators had temporarily escaped their control.
Ji Longchuan’s expression changed slightly; usually, Wei Kongming and others couldn’t possibly exit the blood pool on their own.
Just as Ji Longchuan hesitated, Wei Kongming explained the situation in detail.
Upon hearing Wei Kongming’s explanation, the disheveled Ji Longchuan’s lifeless eyes began to show emotion again. He gazed at Ye Chenfeng and said, "Young friend, is what they said true? Can you really help us break free from Fla Heaven Valley’s control?"
With Old Bai and Old Hei’s assistance, Ye Chenfeng was extrely confident: "Indeed, I can restore your freedom. But, before that, do you know where Fla Heaven Valley got the ghost cultivation technique from?"
Ji Longchuan, with Divine Sense chains still wrapped around him, regained composure and said, "Speaking of the ghost cultivation technique, I do know a bit since I was friends with the two elders! After they transford into a Ghost Cultivator, they’ve boasted about it more than once in my presence."
"It is said that Fla Heaven Valley and the Xues jointly discovered a secret realm with many opportunities and treasures, and the ghost cultivation technique ca from there."
No wonder Fla Heaven Valley and the Xues appeared together in the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin earlier. So of Ye Chenfeng’s doubts began to unravel.
Listening to Ji Longchuan’s narrative, Ye Chenfeng began surveying the stone chamber.
A pile of blue glass bottles, roughly fifty, were stacked in the right corner of the chamber.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s gaze at the blue glass bottles, Ji Longchuan continued, "Young friend, those are called Ghost-Refining Bottles, each able to contain fifty Ghost Cultivators."
"Since Ghost Cultivators are unsuitable for dayti exposure, these bottles allow cultivators to conveniently carry them. These, too, were acquired by Fla Heaven Valley from the secret realm."
Ye Chenfeng walked to the fifty or so Ghost-Refining Bottles, while Old Bai and Old Hei introduced the bottles within his mind.
Suddenly.
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian solemnly said, "Kid, check the position on the left of the Ghost-Refining Bottles."
Due to Old Hei’s serious tone, Ye Chenfeng assud he’d found sothing good. He looked to the left and saw a red seed.
Ye Chenfeng, puzzled, held the red seed, sensing nothing special about it.
Yet, after Old Bai and Old Hei sensed the seed, they both exclaid unconsciously, with Old Bai urgently saying, "Yes, it seems so. This is an Ancient Demon Vine seed."
An Ancient Demon Vine seed?
As Ye Chenfeng wondered, Old Bai Wu Fengxian continued explaining, "Young one, the Ancient Demon Vine is an extrely aggressive demon, capable of attaching to city walls, serving as powerful defense in the Ancient Era."
"But by our ti, the Ancient Demon Vine was near extinction. Now, it certainly does not exist."
"Do you know the strength of a mature Ancient Demon Vine? Its vines can strangle a Mid Divine King Realm powerhouse to death; a special variety is even stronger."
"You have a regular Demon Vine seed, which is still excellent. If you plan to make the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin your future base, planting it outside the city would be ideal."
"Of course, growing Ancient Demon Vine is incredibly difficult. While your small world’s Immortal Spirit Soil is unhelpful for it, special thods are needed for germination. Once planted, it cannot be transplanted, making the city exterior a better location than inside your small world, where Immortal Spirit Soil aids nurous Spirit Grasses but offers negligible help to the Ancient Demon Vine."
"Most likely, they found this seed within the secret realm and didn’t recognize it, leaving it mixed with the Ghost-Refining Bottles here."
A mature Ancient Demon Vine can strangle a Mid Divine King Realm powerhouse to death?
This astonished Ye Chenfeng, realizing the Ancient Demon Vine’s major potential.
Ye Chenfeng asked eagerly, "Do you have a way to make the Ancient Demon Vine grow quickly?"
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian responded cockily, "Of course, kid, we naturally have thods. It seems your trip to Fla Heaven Valley will yield significant gains."
Old Bai Jiang Yuntian added, "Young one, now isn’t the ti to waste. If that hooked nose suddenly dies, it’d alarm others. Without these Ghost Cultivators, facing Fla Heaven Valley would an fleeing. Once you liberate these Ghost Cultivators, you won’t need to fear Fla Heaven Valley anymore."
"Also, obtaining a map of the secret realm is crucial; it might contain worthwhile opportunities."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng imdiately stored the Ancient Demon Vine seed and all Ghost-Refining Bottles in the Chaos Ring. Then he returned to the blood pool and said, "I’ll now help you regain your freedom."
