Chapter 121: Chapter 121 - 86: Yin Spirit Technique at Minor Accomplishment, Heading to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss
Just like Ye Chen.
Li Mu also had a premonition, but couldn’t tell what was going to happen.
Whether it was the chaos in the Blood Robe Tower or the emergence of the Celestial Left Alliance, they were troublesome but didn’t threaten the foundation of Deadman Peak. With some effort and time, it could be resolved.
However, the True Spirit Demon Race of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss was no small matter.
As he pondered, Li Mu suddenly realized a problem, "By the way, Master, you just said that the True Spirit Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss was behaving unusually lately, yet you still agreed to let the junior apprentice brother guard it?"
"This kid has great talent and an excellent disposition but lacks experience and practice, so it’s good for him to witness the True Spirit Demon Race," Ye Chen said, "Moreover, the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss needs a pair of sharp eyes to watch over. If the events from a hundred years ago repeat, the Yin Spirit Technique is undoubtedly one of the best choices."
"Does this disciple need to do anything to help the junior apprentice brother?" Li Mu asked.
Ye Chen replied, "No need, just keep an eye on the Celestial Left Alliance. If he leaves seclusion, bring him to see me."
"Yes!"
Li Mu nodded.
Then, as Ye Chen waved his hand, Li Mu turned around and left.
On his way back, he took a look at Wen Jiu, seeing that the array was still fully activated and the door tightly locked, he had to leave for now.
...
Inside the room.
Wen Jiu continuously practiced the Yin Spirit Technique, conjuring two misty Yin Spirits that shuttled back and forth within the Hua Mansion.
But unlike when he was in the Black Spirit Tower, the Yin Spirits now could be large or small, and could change into various shapes.
"Go!"
When Wen Jiu’s mind moved, the two Yin Spirits turned into two wisps of blue smoke, passing through the array and flying out of Hua Mansion, speeding past woods and houses toward the foot of the mountain, nothing in their path could stop them.
Stone Puppet.
Mountain rocks.
And the Arrays.
Of course, only Tier One Lower Grade Arrays.
When facing a Tier One Lower Grade Array, no matter what kind of array it was, the Yin Spirits could pass through without triggering the array. It’s simply a BUG-like method, surpassing Divine Sense by countless times.
Because ordinary Divine Sense simply couldn’t do that, even a Mid-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator’s Divine Sense couldn’t silently infiltrate a Tier One Lower Grade Array; only a Late Stage of Qi Cultivation Divine Sense could achieve that.
But the Yin Spirit conjured by the Yin Spirit Technique can, and it can even pass through a Tier One Middle Grade Array and even a Top-grade Array, though passing through a High-level Array will trigger the array, but that hardly matters.
Even if the array is triggered, ordinary array methods cannot eliminate the Yin Spirit due to its special existence.
It is neither a Yin Technique nor has a real body; it is a special energy form born of the special fusion of Divine Sense and Yin Technique.
Thus, Five Elements Arrays cannot break it, akin to the immunity of the Yin Five Elements Ghost Skill against Five Elements Techniques.
When Wen Jiu discovered this during his practice a few days ago, he finally understood why the Yin Spirit Technique was considered a Heterodox Secret Technique.
However, despite the Yin Spirit Technique being powerful, it also has its troubles in cultivation, especially after conjuring a second Yin Spirit. If it were a normal Heterodox Cultivator, the moment of small success might be the end of their life expectancy.
But luckily, he is a Corpse Nurturer, so he can be immune to this trouble.
This trouble is the Yin Spirit backlash brought by the Yin Spirit Technique, which causes massive Yin energy to corrode the body and meridians, several times, even ten or twenty times the regular practice of Heterodox Techniques.
With such a substantial Yin energy backlash, Wen Jiu even doubts whether this technique is meant for human cultivation.
Can anyone really withstand the Yin Spirit backlash?
At the same time, it dawned on him why Li Mu mentioned something when delivering a magical artifact before.
Why has no one successfully cultivated this technique so far at Deadman Peak?
Just the terrifying Yin Spirit backlash alone, who would dare to practice it.
...
Very soon.
Twenty days passed in a flash.
The Yin Spirit Technique reached small success.
[Yin Spirit Technique’s Small Success (0/2000)]
After reaching a small success, the Hidden God Technique allows him to conjure three Yin Spirits, which can travel freely within a twenty-li radius of where he is, serving as his third, fourth, and fifth eyes.
Simultaneously, Wen Jiu discovered another use for it, which is to place it at the doorstep as surveillance.
Ordinary mid-stage Qi Cultivation, Fourth Layer, and Fifth Layer Cultivators could not detect the Yin Spirits’ presence.
Only a Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation Divine Sense could capture the presence of a Yin Spirit, but the speed of a Yin Spirit is more than ten times that of a Sixth-Layer, allowing it to instantly leave, rendering a Sixth-Layer Cultivator’s discovery useless.
Subsequently, Wen Jiu also attempted to use them to traverse Tier One Middle Grade Arrays; while the top-tier ones might be triggered, ordinary Tier One Middle Grade Arrays wouldn’t be triggered when the Yin Spirits enter.
"With this, I can go find Elder Xiang."
Wen Jiu was unconcerned about any impact or attention that might come from cultivating the Yin Spirit Technique to small success in fifty days, because concerning the cultivation of the three Three Evil Corpses, the Yin Evil Blood Curse Body, the Hidden God Technique, and the Yin Five Elements Ghost Skill, no matter the impact, he does not wish to delay his time to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
When it’s time to hide, hide.
When it’s time to be low-key, stay low-key.
But when it’s time to show, show with vigor.
...
Yet, just as Wen Jiu closed the array and walked toward the mountain top, news of him leaving seclusion quickly reached the Earth Treasure Department.
Upon hearing of Wen Jiu’s emergence, Xun Jiangxing immediately dropped everything and flew toward Wenlong’s cave mansion at the peak.
"Don’t joke with this old man!"
Flying along, Xun Jiangxing murmured to himself.
The Yin Spirit Technique is not a Human Race technique, and since the Black Spirit Tower opened, no one at Deadman Peak has achieved small success with it. Could Wen Jiu really accomplish this, and in just a few dozen days?
