Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Lifeless Ghost Cultivation, Bloodborne Evil Fiend [5K]_2

...

Wen Jiu’s expression turned serious.

He immediately looked vigilantly towards the depths of the dense forest.

He had just felt a very sharp intent to kill focused on him.

But it wasn’t from the Yin Soul Fierce Ghost.

It was something else.

"Is it that Poisonous Gu Master?" Wen Jiu couldn’t help but glance at the Feixian Peak behind him, he might need to retreat to the mountaintop array.

At this moment, numerous Yin Soul Ghosts had flown out from the dense forest, along with several Fierce Ghosts and Evil Spirits equivalent to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, including the Red-haired Ghost Wen Jiu felt.

Seeing this, Mu Canglong swiftly retreated, as did Li Qing.

Because they recognized the Red-haired Ghost, as well as other ghost entities; they were from a Ghost Cultivator family.

No-Life Mountain!

Its name is quite renowned among Ghost Cultivators, with its unique Lifeless Ghost Cultivation techniques known throughout the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak. However, its identity was most famous, being actually a branch of Deadman Peak itself.

During the Heterodox Dao chaos of Deadman Peak, they were one faction.

"No wonder we couldn’t find them, turns out they’ve joined the Celestial Left Alliance!" Mu Canglong’s face turned cold, not daring to be arrogant, as he quickly retreated into the Tier One Middle Grade Defense Array.

At the same time, Wen Jiu also witnessed the scene, getting a close experience of the uniqueness of these Fierce Ghosts and Evil Spirits.

Yet, compared to the Yin Souls cultivated by the Ghost-faced Butcher, their ghost energy was somewhat inferior, but they were remarkably peculiar. Wen Jiu could feel something within them, which was why they were stronger than ordinary Yin Souls.

Though his perception couldn’t quite grasp it, using the perception of the Three Evil Corpses revealed its oddness.

Upon this probe, Wen Jiu was momentarily stunned.

It was a heart.

A beating heart.

What was this situation?

However, upon a careful perception by the Three Evil Corpses, Wen Jiu found that this heart was not like a human’s; though it was beating, it was extremely slow, continually expelling ghost energy.

"This heart is surprisingly akin to a Qi Cultivator’s Dantian." Wen Jiu was quite delighted.

Realizing why their ghost energy was significantly stronger than ordinary Yin Souls, it turned out they could accumulate ghost energy better than usual Yin Souls.

Though Wen Jiu wasn’t interested in their Ghost Nurturing Techniques, encountering them did pique his curiosity.

He might even learn from it.

After all, nurturing the Three Evil Corpses required Yin Souls, so naturally the stronger the Yin Soul, the better.

"I wonder if I could obtain the Ghost Nurturing Technique directly by devouring Yin Souls?" Wen Jiu had a unique thought because using the Three Evil Corpses to directly capture human souls was too conspicuous.

He revealed the Three Thousand Blood Inks as a trump card to completely resolve the issue, although benefitting a bit was possible, he wanted not to stand out, avoiding unwarranted attention and trouble.

But at this moment, Mu Canglong suddenly shouted: "Fellow Daoist Li, help me take Wen Jiu up to Feixian Peak, staying here won’t help us but add to the trouble as he’s still refining the poison smoke."

Li Qing glanced back at Wen Jiu sitting cross-legged on the ground; without hesitation, he grabbed Wen Jiu and flew upwards to Feixian Peak.

Wen Jiu didn’t resist.

Because he wanted to go up the mountain.

Gong Chi was imprisoned in the Night Patrol Department’s dungeon on the mountainside; the Ghost Nurturing Technique could wait, but Gong Chi must be killed first.

"Thanks, kid."

After sending Wen Jiu to the edge of the array, a disciple from the Inspection Hall, holding a token, immediately came out to greet him.

With a word of thanks, Li Qing returned to fight.

Then, several people walked out from within the array, all unfamiliar faces, yet each with the aura of Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer. Clearly, these were the Side Peak Stewards hidden at Feixian Peak.

However, there were only ten people in total.

Just enough to handle those ghosts and Ghost Cultivators.

"The two sides are still testing each other." Wen Jiu internally sighed with a bit of helplessness, then entered the array supported by the Inspection Hall disciple.

Once inside the array, Wen Jiu witnessed an unforgettable scene; on the mountain’s slope stood hundreds of cultivators, each at least Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

With just a glance, Wen Jiu saw several people at the mountaintop—all at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, comparable to Ji Qiubai.

"When did these people come to Feixian Peak?" Wen Jiu was shocked, quickly looking away with thanks.

His arrival naturally attracted much attention, yet there was no peculiar gaze; rather, many looked upon him with appreciation, even Feng Xuan from the Inspection Hall nodded slightly at Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu understood, it was the result of absorbing poison smoke and showing Qi Cultivation Third Layer prowess just now.

Indeed.

In the sect, one must show some ability.

With his performance, even if he did nothing afterward, he might get noticed by the Main Peak.

Once Gong Chi is dead, he could head to the Main Peak unhindered.

"Though a Heterodox Cultivator, stepping forward when fellow sect members are in trouble is quite commendable." Feng Xuan praised suddenly and tossed over a Tier One Middle Grade Healing Elixir.

Simultaneously, Feng Xuan’s gaze upon Wen Jiu grew increasingly satisfied.

For he had checked Wen Jiu, entering the sect barely over three months ago, from ordinary to Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Yet, he possessed inferior spirit root.

Evidencing his astonishing Heterodox Talent.

Across the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak, regardless of Side Peak or Loose Cultivator, no Heterodox Demons could match this child’s aptitude.
