Chapter 432

“Where are you going?”

“Just sight seeing.”

Following Leylin’s direction she looked towards a shade of a mountain in the South-West and spoke fearfully, “There’s a cave there. The dead souls often travel through the entrance. Around the cave is gloomy; there are more dead souls and of higher levels.”

“Good.”

“I know you are strong but you shouldn’t take such risks. It’s easy to deal with the low-level dead souls, but it’s tough to handle with the high-level ones. You shouldn’t go,” Cherry advised with a low voice.

People living in the Dead Soul Mountain all knew that the dead souls were dangerous. If they encountered the low-level ones, they could use special items like Rock Panacea to secure their souls, preventing them from being eroded. However, the high-level dead souls could directly penetrate into the warriors’ Sea of Consciousness to nib their souls, despite the pellet they had taken.

If one wasn’t at Spirit Realm, it would be tough to defend the soul-erosion effect of the high-level dead souls.

Leylin was still unmoving and persistent. He had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and the Five Devils protecting him, with a Spirit God Realm cultivation why would he be afraid of the dead souls.

“You should be careful. The three recent ones were just the low-level dead souls. It’s not easy to deal with the high-level ones.” Cherry could see that her advice was no use, so she could only reluctantly see him off.

“And, although the high-level dead souls rarely appear, it doesn’t mean that there are none of them dwelling in the Dead Soul Mountain range. If you have the bad luck of meeting up with the highest level dead soul, I advise you not to trust your luck. Run away as fast as you can… Never linger. Usually, the strong dead souls can’t operate too far from the evil lairs. As long as you can run fast enough, and far enough from the dead souls’ evil lairs, I think the highest level dead souls won’t chase after you.”

Leylin turned behind to look at her, Cherry was stunned being stared at him like this and afraid that her words might have offended him. She was just about to apologize and beg for her life when Leylin suddenly smiled and said, “I have got this, thanks anyway. You just wait here, I’ll come back soon.”

He waved his hand at Cherry, then departed in the direction the cave was.

It was an area covered with thick, dark gray clouds, like a gray curtain that hindered people’s vision.

Leylin was flying at a moderate speed as he observed here and there cautiously. He also checked the space underneath him.

The valley underneath him had vibrant bushes of Bone-picking grass, growing densely, just like the scythe of Death, waiting to harvest people’s lives.

Under the shade of the mountain ahead of him, clusters of gray clouds became thicker, which obstructed his vision and Soul Consciousness more.

Flows of cold and despondent aura flooded from ahead of him.

Leylin snorted and, activated the Star Shield around him. The shield was shining a blazing and scorching light, which washed away the cold. It turned into a beautiful sphere, leading the way.

A few minutes later, he arrived at a shaded area of the mountain.

A big pine tree appeared near the cliff. The tree looked like a giant monster under the shade of the mountain, which could ferociously swallow all creatures.

Flows of sinister and cold air flooded out from the place hidden behind the pine tree. Sometimes, people could see the little luminous green spots fly out like the jack-o’-lanterns floating and disappearing into thin air.

The Star Shield barrier suddenly became transparent and thin, as if bearing a lot of pressure.

[Beep! Strange radiation detected!] The A. I Chip sensed something abnormal, it immediately sent him a message.

“A.I.Chip scan the area ahead!”

[Beep! Task established! Scanning…. Beep! Extremely rich spirit grade dark and soul energy detected! Signs of an unknown lifeform, with a tangible body. Sinister and hostile undulation detected. Host is advised to activate all soul defence and retreat immediately.]

Leylin was analysing the data from A. I. Chip when suddenly the Five Devils suddenly became excited.

Roar Roar Roar!

Swoosh!

The Ice Cold Flame turned into a bunch of crystal clear white lights, shooting out from the Blood Vein Ring. It then condensed into an ice crystal on Ring’s surface and sent him its thoughts.

“They are some sort of evil souls. I have never met such things before. They don’t belong in this continent, either. This kind of evil souls are bloodthirsty, and they have a strong possessive desire. It seems they can erode creatures’ souls. That’s all I can sense… I’m not sure I could sense further…”

“Interesting… ”

Leylin didn’t stop his advances as he bypassed the pine tree, and saw a cave hiding behind the root of the tree. The entrance was small, but the shutter looked big. It was really dark, and he could see nothing but the vague green light inside. The green light was despondent, which suited the place’s ambiance pretty well. This made people sink into an extremely depressing feeling.

Whiz Whiz Whiz!

The Five Devils were like demonic beasts who had smelled the fresh scent of blood, turning into a thick group of gray smoke and drilling into the cave.

Leylin didn’t stop them, moving towards the cave himself.

“Don’t go!” The Earth Flame and the Ice Cold Flame sent him their thoughts simultaneously. They seemed to be terrified.

At the same time, the Five Devils, who had been eagerly entering the cave, were turning back to Leylin with a faster speed. Seemed like they had seen something really intimidating. Each of them showed itself, trying to get back into his body.

However, it seemed there was a strong suction force coming from the cave, trying to draw them back. They tried to struggle, but couldn’t get out of the cave.

In the entrance, a green light suddenly brightened fiercely. Thanks to that evil, gloomy green light, Leylin finally saw what was inside the cave.

Inside the unknown-deep cave, countless deep green dead souls gathered. There were a dozen of them at the entrance.

Entering deep inside, the dead souls there were like a green dye clutching on the stone wall. They seemed as if they were suddenly awakened.

At the deepest place of the entrance, Leylin vaguely saw something like a big chunk of meat, which had many small holes drilling into the block, where blood was bleeding unceasingly. Under the chunk of meat were piles of many dead warriors. The base of the meat block extended into the center of the dead body piles, as if it were sucking some kind of energy from those corpses. The dead souls in the cave gathered around the meat block. It seemed they were guarding over it, which looked quite strange.

All of a sudden, an extremely gloomy and evil aura burst out from the other end of the cave. The green light inside became even more dazzling.

With just a single look Leylin saw that the dead souls inside the cave were connected to each other by green fibers, just like a big spider web. At the same time, when countless dead souls started swelling, they started to release the soul erosive entering his Sea of Consciousness.

At that short moment, he was dragged into illusions. He saw so many dead souls nibbling, tearing his body and sucking his blood. They wanted to drag him into the cave.

Leylin was still nonchalant so far suddenly had a change in his expression, although he can still take care of the situation. His gut feeling was yelling at him to retreat for now or else he would suffer.

He immediately wielded the Earth Flame and abruptly released a scorching flame. The sea of fire torrentially flooded into the cave.

Numerous dead souls started to scream with a strange ‘Sss Sss’ sound, as if the Earth Flame was burning them to the acme of pain. Seizing the chance, the Five Devils struggled harder and escaped the cave, immediately hiding themselves in his Sea of Consciousness.

The moment the Five Devils got in his Sea of Consciousness, Leylin didn’t think much, retreating away with his max speed.

Using his dexterity and movement martial skill, he turned into a beam of light, and disappeared.

“That’s a very strange lifeform, although I couldn’t analyze it for long. It’s definitely a lethal force even for Spirit Realm Warriors, how can the high ranking warriors in Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley let such a dreadful existence live scot-free. Who would dare to linger in the Dead Soul Mountain range with such an evil existence here!?”

Leylin pondered as he flew back to Cherry, he needed to have a conversation with Master Linus about this issue as well. Can it be that they don’t know about this?

Leylin was now a Spirit Realm Warrior, with his combat ability at an extremely high level. Not to mention innumerable mysteriously, magical portions and artifacts he has created so far as well as many Trump Cards under his wraps, he was still not too kin to dig into this issue unless he found more about that strange rotting chunk of meat.

To Leylin the most important thing is to increase his own powers, he is no saint trying to solve all and any problems he comes across. Fate of others don’t mean shit to him, if that thing can be helpful to him he might deal with it, if not then good luck to everyone else.

Leylin is already at a critical juncture to breakthrough into Second Sky of Spirit Realm, he isn’t willing to take any risk.

And currently Leylin was also busy divulging the Blacksmith Secret to Success. That book contained an unbelievable amount of various ancient, secret powerful and forgotten inscriptions.

Formations like the Grand Soul Gathering Formation, Original Universe Life formation, Three-soul Defense Formation as well as the famed Transportation Formation.

As long as he spent enough time in the magical space inside the book, he can learn all of them but unfortunately it consumed a lot of his Soul consciousness.

The consumption of soul energy isn’t anything serious but the restoration takes some time.

One needs to supplement the consumed Profound Qi by condensing the Qi of the heaven and earth. And except for extremely rare and precious pellets, one can only rest.

Obviously Leylin has various other ways to solve this issue, but still there is a limit to how much he can explore the Blacksmith’s Secret of Success in a day.

His top priority is to maintain his pace of research as well as keeping the pressure on his Soul consciousness to soon breakthrough into the next realm.

..

Three days later, Leylin stopped in front of a grand mountain.

After meeting with Cherry again, Leylin didn’t waste any time and immediately came to Flying Cloud Summit.

Leylin soon walked up the mountain. Along the way to the peak, he saw many spiritual farms where rare and precious herbs were planted.

After he had passed hundreds of spiritual fields, he was about to reach the peak of the Flying Cloud Summit.

At this moment, a clear but cold voice arose although there were no other people on the road. “Intruders, who are you? Haven’t you heard the notice? Within three years, no one can enter the Flying Cloud Summit! Didn’t you bring your brain with you?”

Leylin laughed slightly, “Linda it’s me, Berkan. Would you guys forget me now that you have gotten what you want? ”

He recognised the one who was talking with them from a secret place somewhere was Linda, who used to visit the Endless Sea. She was Joseph Will’s senior.

“… You are… Berkan Lenoir?!?” Linda contemplated for a while. Seemed she was trying to remember the identity of the intruder.

Later on, she smiled charmingly. “Well, friends from the far land… weren’t you staying in the Endless Sea? Why did you leave that place and come to Divine Land? Why are you here?”

In the middle of the giggling, a thick magma dike split open. Linda appeared in a white light. She looked at him from above and chuckled. “You’re strong indeed. Well, since you can come here, you should have some good tricks.”

Leylin didn’t care for his small talk, “Joseph gave me the token. He told me to visit the Spirit Potion Valley and show them the token. They would take me here.”

“I want to meet the elder Linus.” Leylin stated his business.

Linda’s expression showed that it was a bit difficult. “Our teacher is still cultivating. He said that no one is allowed to bother him. Well, if it’s you, I can notify him. But I’m not sure he could meet you immediately.”

Leylin nodded.

“Okay. Get in. Have some tea and take a rest.” Linda waved her hand.

Inside the Flying Cloud Summit’s mountainside, there were many large stone chambers that could be seen. Multi-colored gems were inlaid on the wall, illuminating the whole room as bright as daylight.

Although they were on the mountainside, it didn’t look dark at all. Air flowed everywhere, together with the dense spiritual Qi.

Strange and miraculous herbs were present in the stone chambers, kept in special containers. There were some tools holding the fresh, green leaves, and they seemed to be still growing.

There was a spacious room as big as a basketball court, matted with thick rugs, where an incense burner was exuding fragrant smoke. The room had its wall carved with many magical spiritual formation and spells. Different colored flows of spiritual Qi were moving slowly inside the formations, looking like some snakes slithering.

Leylin was seated in this large stone room looking at the spiritual formation on the walls.

“A.I.Chip record everything here.”

The spiritual formations carved on the walls are the ways the alchemists transport their Soul Consciousness, and that’s how the medicine revolves during the process. They include the most mysterious Intent Domain of an alchemist. If one can comprehend the subtle features of this magical formation, his attainment will enter a new stage immediately.

One hour later, Linda got back to the room. She stood at the entrance of the channel, waving at Leylin to signal him to come along.

Leylin followed her.

Inside a spacious cave, he saw more than ten caludrons with different sizes and colors. Mysterious patterns were carved on the cauldrons that looked more like the tadpole scripts. More than ten cauldrons occupied half of the space in the cave. Outside the place, there were piles of bottles, jars, and containers which were full of spiritual herbs.

In the center of the cauldron area lied a fat man with a lazy appearance. He was fat like a small mountain of meat. The man squinted his small eyes, beaming a smile that seemed to be of no harm to any creature. He smiled at Leylin, then slightly raised his arm. “Little buddy, you are Berkan Lenoir? Thank you for your drop of Life Original Fluid. Haha, you came from the Endless Sea. You’re my distinguished guest.”

Linus moved his body, reluctantly leaning against a big cauldron to sit up. He smiled awkwardly. “I’m too fat. It’s hard to move, and I’m lazy to exercise, too. If I can sit, I won’t stand. If I can lay down, I won’t sit. Many years ago, I used my body to test the drugs I refined. At that time, my realm wasn’t high enough, so among the medicines I refined, many of them didn’t meet the standard. I took them too much and got sick. Now, I’m getting fatter over time. Big headache.”

Leylin smiled and nodded. He then walked leisurely to each of the cauldrons to take a look.

“Elder is a busy person so, I’ll go straight to the point. I’m coming here today to ask you to help me inquire about a friend from the Pure Land.”

Linus was astounded for a while and he sighed, “Joseph has told me a bit about this. I’ll advise you to forget about her.”

“Oh! Why so?”

“One year ago, Elder Jacob Knox of the Pure Land came to me. He asked me to help them refine the Levitating Immortal Pill for that little girl. It’s not easy to refine the Levitating Immortal Pill. It needs so many types of spiritual herbs. Many of them aren’t available. They need to search for them in other regions. They are scarce in our Divine Great Land, too.”

“Levitating Immortal Pill !?” Leylin’s eyes twitched. With his attainment in Alchemy with the help of Joseph, he isn’t foreign to this pellet.

The Levitating Immortal Pill is the pill to enhance the Profound Qi. One pellet of the Levitating Immortal Pill can make a First Sky of Sky Realm warrior earn the Profound Qi’s density of a Second Sky of Sky Realm. The Levitating Immortal Pill needs ninety-seven rare herbs of medium grade and a rare water spirit. The process is really complicated, and the failure possibility is high too. A cauldron of Levitating Immortal Pill with abundant herbs, refined by a Sacred Level alchemist, could produce only five pellets with the number of herbal ingredients required for one hundred pellets.

“At that time, I asked Jacob what did they need the Levitating Immortal Pill for. He told me they wanted to improve the strength of that little girl. Since my relationship with him isn’t shallow, he told me that the Reincarnation Martial Spirit of that little girl has the soul memories of some previous generations. They took the girl to the Pure Land and sensed. Finally, they found that little girl’s soul memories have the memories of an ancestor of the Pure Land who lived in the Antiquity Era,” said Linus.

“They are investing so much in her? Is the ancestor someone at True God Realm? What would happen to her current self?”

Linus took a deep breath. “Seniors of the Pure Land usually have the Spirit Realm cultivation base. They aren’t too dangerous. However, the ancestors of the Pure Land in the Antiquity Era had the God King Realm cultivation base! That little girl’s realm and powers aren’t high enough to restore all the memories of that ancestor. That’s why they had to rush and be excited at the same time. They really want to increase her strength.”

“Once that little girl reaches the True God Realm, she will gradually recall the martial Upanishads of the realm related to that ancestor in the Antiquity Era. As long as she has enough Essence Qi to support, her cultivating path will have no significant obstacles. She will go directly to the God King Realm! At last, when she reaches the True God Realm, she can remember the Upanishads of the techniques of the God King Realm warrior. At that time, she will become the most precious treasure of the Pure Land that can benefit all their warriors.”

“As for her current self, It’s been tens of thousands of years and that ancestor’s soul would have been scattered. The only things that remain are the deep understandings of the martial arts. So, your little girl can keep her soul, and she can seize the chance to thrive directly.”

“I see..”

“You don’t need to worry about her. To her, staying in the Pure Land only benefits her. No harm at all. All experts of the Pure Land treat her as the most precious treasure of theirs. She’s the Queen on the Pure Land’s chessboard now. If she continues to thrive this way, one day, she will become the Paragon of the Pure Land, and the future master of the Divine Great Land. She will reach the God King Realm at that time. I think it won’ t take more than fifty years later,” Linus admired.

“Fifty years to reach God King Realm?” Leylin could help but be surprised. God Kings are equivalent to experts at Radiant Moon Magus, a Rank 5 Magus who was below hundred years old! What kind of concept is that!?

Ordell is sure to stand at the very peak of the Grace Mainland and in not so distant future as well, Leylin couldn’t help but admire this development.

But obviously Leylin wasn’t disheartened or in the least bit bothered. To others fifty years to reach God King might seem an unbelievable feat of genius but he is sure that not only can he duplicate such a feat but even likely surpass it.

Currently he’s only 27 years old and already at First Sky of Spirit Realm, just a bit away from Second Sky. Leylin’s powers can’t even be measured by normal standards, he’s a true freak genius himself.

‘It’s good to know, the one I choose is someone so capable.’ Leylin pondered and thought to himself.

“Master, the dead souls often co-operate these days. I’ve met a lot of them in the region. They are so many. Do you think they have a leader now?” Linda assumed Leylin silence as his shock and disbelief changed the topic, as she was afraid that he would feel hurt more.

“They often co-operate?” Linus’s small eyes flashed. “How often?”

“Hmm… I wanted to talk to you about another issue. When I came here, I found a cave where many dead souls gathered. There should be hundreds of them. In that cave, the dead souls stick on the walls were as dense as spider webs. Deep inside the cave lied a chunk of meat. It was dark green too. Its roots pierced into the dead bodies of so many warriors…. I am pretty sure it’s something that not even Spirit Realm Warriors could resist.” explained Leylin.

Linus shot up from his seat. It was the first time he wore a frightened countenance. “You saw a dark green block of meat? It was sucking the nutrition from the warriors’ bodies? Are you sure?”

“Indeed.”

“Not good!” Linus panicked. His face changed. “Big problem!”

‘I know.’

“Where did you find them?”

“Under the shade of a mountain.”

“Go! Take me there! Immediately!”

Linus acted as if he had a fire burning his butt. He talked to Leylin urgently. “Take me there. We’ll go immediately! I’m not sure if we can seize the chance.”

Leylin nodded and flew out of the Flying Cloud Summit at the max speed, heading towards the cave where the dead souls had gathered.

‘It seems they really didn’t know about that thing. From his reaction, some trouble is brewing. So troublesome… ‘
