Chapter 161: Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth, Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood

Among these thirty-six monks, only half of them are fake dan monks.

Even if those fake Dan families were surrounded and attacked, as a fake Dan cultivator, it would not be so easy to die.

However, in the brutal melee just now, four fake Dan monks died.

Among the fallen fake elixir cultivators, except for the ancestor of the Lan family, the other three also have their own origins.

One of them is the fake elixir offerer of the Lan family, another is a fake elixir casual cultivator, and the last one is the ancestor of a certain foundation-building family.

The three of them are the ones with the shallowest foundation and the weakest strength among the fake elixir cultivators on the field.

However, Chi Yangwu, the fake Dan cultivator that Ji Chang was spying on, did not die in the melee.

Although Chi Yangwu is a casual cultivator of fake elixir, he possesses the third-level earth path inheritance and has extraordinary strength.

When Ji Chang was spying on the melee, he discovered that General Chi Yang had cultivated the lower-level spell of his Danwen magical power [Earth-shaking and Mountain-shaking], the Earth-shaking Technique, to the great perfection realm.

This discovery made Ji Chang secretly shocked.

This second-level spell, which was derived from the Danwen supernatural power, is quite difficult to practice. It is by no means comparable to ordinary spells, and often requires a lot of spiritual objects to assist in practice.

The Green Water Sword Escape that Ji Chang is practicing now is also a lower-level spell of the Danwen Divine Ability [Green Water and Green Sword].

But after practicing kung fu for more than ten years, he is still only at the minor success level.

As for the disaster-inducing magic that Ji Chang mastered, although it was also derived from the Danwen magical power, it was also a more mysterious magical power of luck [Blood Disaster].

However, Ji Chang's spell was just a nascent one, and its power was much inferior to complete spells such as the Green Water Sword Escape and Earthquake Technique.

Just now in the melee, Chi Yangwu used the earth-shaking technique of his great accomplishment to kill four cultivators in the late stage of foundation building in one fight, and seriously injured more than ten people.

With this skill alone, Chi Yangwu can definitely rank among the top five among these twenty-two fake pill cultivators.

Except for the fake elixir cultivator, the remaining eighteen cultivators are all in the late foundation building stage.

Ten of the cultivators came from various fake dan families. Among the remaining eight cultivators, except for two who were lucky, the other six had combat power at the fake dan level.

Either they have more than one second-grade top-grade magical weapon in their hands, or they have mastered several powerful spells that have been cultivated to the great success or even perfection level.

They showed amazing strength in this battle and were able to hold on successfully.

Among them was the strong-dressed young man who killed the ancestor of the Lan family.

His eyes were determined, his robe was torn, revealing the inner armor he was wearing next to his body, and the black spear in his hand was covered in blood.

This person's strength not only reached the fake pill level, but he was definitely in the top ten among the thirty-six surviving cultivators.

Many fake elixir cultivators are not as powerful as this person.

Ji Chang did not know this cultivator, nor had he planted a peeping mark on him.

However, Ji Chang still has some understanding of this person.

After all, he is listed on the Tiangang List, so he cannot be an unknown person.

This man was called Lu Yunxiao, and seemed to be from the eastern part of Zheng State. He was a casual cultivator who practiced waterways, but he was one of the first casual cultivators to come and explore the Ten Thousand Mountains to establish their foundation.

His previous ranking on the Tiangang List was in the top 40.

At this time, the atmosphere in the square calmed down.

After all, by this time, the Huangquan assessment had already ended.

Even if someone wants to take action against the others now, they have to worry about the thoughts of Elder Qi of the Huangquan Sect.

Just as everyone was recovering their magic power, adjusting their state, and waiting for Elder Qi to appear.

Suddenly, several flashes of blood appeared and quickly flew towards the bodies of the dead monks.

In just a few breaths, the corpses stood up again, turning into bloody corpses with expressionless faces and empty eyes.

The next moment, the entire square turned into a sea of ​​blood and corpses, with bloody corpses running rampant, it was extremely horrifying.

This scene made the monks present look terrified. They had never seen such a strange sight.

Especially when he saw those rays of blood light quickly transforming the bodies of the dead monks into blood corpses, his fear became even greater.

After Ji Chang saw this scene through the Dao Seed, he was also shocked.

Ji Chang has been practicing the Huangquan Sect's secret method of refining corpses for decades.

Ji Chang also knew how to refine the blood corpse.

Originally, Ji Chang planned to find a way to obtain a few second-level blood-evil spiritual objects and refine the corpse puppets he had just refined into blood corpses.

However, according to the normal refining method, it not only requires a lot of spiritual objects and a lot of time, but also has a high failure rate.

And now, with just a few streaks of blood appearing, those mutilated corpses were easily transformed into blood corpses.

Because of this, how could Ji Chang not be shocked after seeing this scene.

At this time, several Jiadan monks from the Jiadan family looked at each other and saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

With their knowledge, they naturally recognized that this was the Danwen magical power [Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood] displayed by Elder Qi Zhicheng.

This magical power is extremely powerful. It is rumored that it was created by an ancestor of the Huangquan Sect after observing the [Mountain of Corpses] and [Sea of ​​Blood] in the secret realm of heaven and earth.

Not only can it quickly transform dead creatures into blood corpses, it is also a rare domain magical power.

If it is used with full force, it can even temporarily change the surrounding environment, turning it into a real sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Secret realms of heaven and earth such as the [Mountain of Corpses] and the [Sea of ​​Blood] have no rank and are themselves part of heaven and earth.

I heard that the secret realm of [Corpse Mountain] is now under the control of the Huangquan Sect. It can not only be used to breed powerful corpses, but also produce a large number of corpse spiritual objects.

It is said that as long as the time is long enough, even the legendary fifth-level spiritual creature can be nurtured.

The secret realm of [Blood Sea] is said to be located somewhere in the East China Sea.

No matter what kind of secret realm of heaven and earth it is, it is rare in the world. If ordinary forces can obtain one, it can become the core foundation of the sect.

The Huangquan Sect has been able to dominate the Eastern Region for thousands of years, and this [Corpse Mountain] secret realm is one of the important reasons.

At this moment, the voice of Elder Qi Zhicheng rang in everyone's ears: "The assessment is over, you can all leave."

"Wait for half a month, come back here to gather, and someone will take you to the sect."

As Elder Qi Zhicheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the square suddenly relaxed.

The monks left one after another as if they had just woken up from a dream, secretly rejoicing that they had escaped the disaster.

And that terrifying Danwen magical power [Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood] also disappeared into thin air as Elder Qi Zhicheng's voice faded away.

And those blood corpses that were refined also turned into blood light as the Danwen magical power dissipated, gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a wisp of light smoke and disappeared into the air.

At this time, in the hall, Qi Zhicheng was half lying on a soft couch, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Only four fake Dan monks died."

Although this assessment was brutal, the results did not meet his expectations.

He originally hoped that through this test, he could replenish the number of blood corpses in his hands. But only four fake blood corpses were not enough for him.

"Well, we can't go too far, otherwise it will be hard to explain to the sect."

Qi Zhicheng shook his head slightly and gave instructions to the dozen or so beautiful female cultivators in the hall.

“Keep on playing, keep on dancing.”

On weekdays in the sect, with his master and fellow Taoists watching over him, his life was really boring.

Now that he has been sent to Zheng State to be in charge of expanding the territory, he naturally wants to take this opportunity to relax.

Following Qi Zhicheng's instructions, more than a dozen beautiful female cultivators in the hall took action.

They danced lightly with graceful figures, accompanied by melodious music, like blooming flowers, shining with a different brilliance in the hall.

The music was melodious and the dancing was graceful. Qi Zhicheng half closed his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

……

A few days later, Hu Qingsong came to visit.

"Friend Han, have you heard about the Huangquan assessment a few days ago?"

Hu Qingsong opened his mouth to ask, with a look of relief on his face.

Ji Chang just smiled and nodded when he heard this: "I have heard a little bit about it, Brother Hu, why don't you tell me about it."

Hu Qingsong sighed and began to narrate what he knew. "This Huangquan test was really tragic. Of the more than 80 cultivators who participated, only 36 survived. More than half of them died."

He paused, his expression becoming more solemn, "The most shocking thing is that even four of those fake Dan monks died."

“You know, they are all famous fake Dan ancestors. However, in the Huangquan test, with their strength, they still couldn’t escape.”

Hu Qingsong couldn't help but shook his head when he said this, "Fortunately, my contribution was not enough and I couldn't make it into the Tiangang Ranking, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Now it seems that being able to practice peacefully like Fellow Daoist Han is not bad."

After discovering that the Huangquan assessment was so cruel, Hu Qingsong's mentality changed significantly.

The thought of ranking at the top of the Tiangang list, passing the Huangquan assessment, and becoming a disciple of the Huangquan Sect also dissipated.

Instead of fighting with that group of fake alchemy monks, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to open up the Ten Thousand Mountains to enhance one's own strength and develop family power.

If I could become a fake elixir cultivator in time, my life in this world would not be in vain.

Ji Chang listened and echoed a few words.

In Ji Chang's opinion, with Hu Qingsong's strength, if he had the opportunity to participate in the Huangquan assessment, he would basically have no way to survive.

Although the content of each Huangquan assessment is different, judging from the appearance of this first Huangquan assessment, the subsequent ones will naturally not be easy.

He has now given up his obsession with getting into the Tiangang list, which is not necessarily a bad thing in Ji Chang's opinion.

The two mentioned Wang Changsheng while chatting.

Hu Qingsong said with a worried look on his face: "Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Wang is also on the Tiangang Ranking. He is qualified to participate in the Huangquan Assessment, but he has not been seen in these days."

"I'm worried that he may have taken the test, but failed and unfortunately died in it."

After hearing this, Ji Chang already knew that Wang Changsheng was being hunted and had missed his opportunity to participate in the Huangquan assessment.

However, at this time, Ji Chang pretended to frown, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Friend Wang is quite capable. If he really participates in the Huangquan test, I believe he will do his best to deal with it."

"But we are all aware of the cruelty of the assessment, and the results are indeed unpredictable."

Hu Qingsong nodded and sighed, "Yes, the Huangquan test is very serious after all, life and death are determined by fate."

"I hope that Daoist Fellow Wang Changsheng is safe and sound. Perhaps he was just delayed by something and has not yet participated in the assessment."

The topic between the two became a little heavy. They both knew the hardships and dangers of practicing, and they couldn't help but feel regret and worry about the disappearance or death of their fellow practitioners.

After a while, Ji Chang broke the silence and said, "We can only hope that good things will happen to you, Mr. Wang."

"The path of cultivation is full of unknowns and variables. All we can do is cherish the present, work hard, and improve our own strength."

Hu Qingsong also calmed down, took a deep breath and said: "Fellow Daoist Han is right, we still need to focus on our own cultivation."

"No matter what, cultivation strength is the foundation."

The two smiled at each other, and the haze in their hearts dissipated a little. They continued to discuss their experiences in cultivation and future plans until night fell.

After a few more days, those monks who passed the Huangquan assessment gathered in the square again.

They were full of anticipation, but also a little nervous.

This reunion means that they are about to officially enter the Huangquan Sect and become disciples of the Huangquan Sect.

Just as everyone was discussing, a huge flying boat descended from the sky and landed steadily above Liaogu Immortal City.
This flying boat is majestic, with a faint blue light shining all over it. It is in no way inferior to Qi Zhicheng's vehicle.

The next moment, a cultivator wearing the robe of a Huangquan Sect disciple flew down from the flying boat.

This person has a young face and looks like a teenager, but he exudes the aura of a fake Dan cultivator.

He looked around at the cultivators present, and then said loudly: "Congratulations to all the brothers and sisters for passing the assessment. Now, please follow me aboard the flying boat, and we will head to Huangquan Sect."

Upon hearing this, all the monks straightened their robes, transformed themselves into light, and boarded the flying boat in an orderly manner.

They were full of anticipation, yet also felt a little uneasy.

With a slight vibration, the flying boat slowly rose and headed towards the northwest where the Huangquan Sect's mountain gate was located.

The Liaogu Immortal City below gradually became smaller until it disappeared from sight.

……

A few months later, the early spring sunshine, with a little warmth, shines through the gaps between the green leaves, sprinkling in the quiet courtyard, as if little golden lights are jumping.

Hu Qingsong's figure appeared in front of Ji Chang's cave. This time his steps were particularly brisk, and his face was filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.

He communicated via his spiritual sense, and soon the door opened and Ji Chang appeared at the door.

"Brother Han, look who I brought with me!" Hu Qingsong's voice was full of excitement.

Ji Chang looked in the direction of Hu Qingsong's gesture, and saw a familiar figure walking out from behind Hu Qingsong. The sunlight shone on his calm and deep face. It was Wang Changsheng.

"Friend Wang." Ji Chang stepped forward and bowed to Wang Changsheng.

"I'm so glad you're okay. We were all worried that something bad might have happened to you after taking part in the Huangquan test."

Wang Changsheng smiled slightly, bowed in return, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I was delayed due to an accident and was unable to participate in the Huangquan assessment."

"Come in quickly, let's talk about it."

Ji Chang grabbed Wang Changsheng and Hu Qingsong, and the three of them walked into the courtyard together.
