Chapter 879 Advance to Level 4

Song Wen held a palm-sized token, opened the restrictions on a cave on the mountainside of Three Corpses Peak, and walked into the cave.

This cave was originally a Yin Shuo cave. It occupies a small area, only a few miles of land, and the furnishings are quite simple.

However, there is a stone bed in the cave, which is quite extraordinary and exudes a strong corpse evil spirit all the time. For corpse path monks, this bed is a rare treasure that can significantly increase the speed of cultivation.

The stone bed is a product of character refinement. It should have been made by Yin Shuo. Yin Shuo probably put a lot of thought into it, but now it is easier for Song Wen.

Song Wen checked the formation restrictions in the cave and after confirming that the formations were operating normally, he released three ordinary shadow Gu and lurked around the Three Corpses Peak to prevent someone from secretly setting up formations near the Three Corpses Peak to murder him.

Although he is now the leader of the Wuji Sect, it is not ruled out that there are people in the sect who want to avenge Yin Shuo and Ye Hua and collude with the Cui family or the Liangyi Sect.

As for why there were three shadow Gu, it was because after Zhuyin died, Song Wen took one back from him.

Back then, Song Wen gave Zhuyin two shadow Gus. Nearly a hundred years later, the other Gu died probably in some accident.

After doing all this, Song Wen placed the advanced Gu worm in the center of the cave.

The Gu insects were still absorbing the spiritual energy of the world, so Song Wen opened the spirit gathering array in the cave and placed a high-grade spiritual stone in each of the eighteen formation positions for the spirit gathering array to extract spiritual energy.

In the next six months, while Song Wen was in seclusion to hone his cultivation, he also paid attention to the progress of the Gu insects.

This day.

The speed at which the Gu insects absorb spiritual energy has increased dramatically. Even though the spiritual energy of the Three Corpses Peak is extremely rich and there are high-grade spiritual stones to extract the spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy in the cave still cannot meet the needs of the Gu insects.

Song Wen immediately took out hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones and crushed them into pieces. The spiritual energy in the cave instantly increased by several levels.

Outside the cave.

The spiritual energy in the entire Shadow City suddenly rioted and quickly gathered in the direction of the Three Corpses Peak.

Gradually, a huge vortex of spiritual energy appeared in the sky above the Three Corpses Peak.

The sudden appearance of the strange phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Shadow City, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the Three Corpses Peak.

"What big thing happened in Wuji Sect?"

"Someone should be making progress."

"Who can advance to the next level and trigger such a big vision?"

"It must be to advance to the Nascent Soul realm! It seems that Wuji Sect is going to add another Nascent Soul monk."

The casual cultivators in Shadow City were talking a lot.

Most of the disciples of the Wuji Sect knew that this was Song Wen's Gu insect that was advancing.

The spiritual energy was disordered, causing all the disciples of Wuji Sect who were practicing to be forced to stop practicing. What's more, some Qi-training disciples who used flying skills were unable to continue to control the wind and fell out of control and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the vision did not last long.

Only half a month later, the spiritual energy vortex of the Three Corpses Peak suddenly collapsed, and the gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth swept away in all directions.

Song Wen suddenly discovered that the Gu insect's figure quickly grew in size, becoming as large as ten feet.

The Gu insect's carapace is dark, with a faint cold light; its eyes are cold, like an abyss; a pair of huge jaws keep opening and closing.

At the same time, its aura also grew to the early stage of the fourth level.

The Gu worm was lying on the spot, its body was getting bigger and smaller, as if it was adapting to the sudden increase in strength.

After Song Wen forced out dozens of drops of essence and blood and fed it to the Gu worm, he stopped paying attention to the situation of the Gu worm and began to meditate peacefully and hone his cultivation.

Time flies so fast, eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps because he had just entered the late Nascent Soul stage and fought with others, his magic power was ineffective. After eleven years of tempering, his magic power was still not condensed enough.

Song Wen estimated that it would take another two or three years to completely stabilize the magic power.

This day.

Shu Niang came to convey the message, and Fang Xian asked to see him.

"See the Demon Lord." Fang Xian bowed and asked after entering the cave.

Song Wendao asked, "Sect Leader Fang, what's the matter?"

Fang Xiandao said, "Demon Lord, the eleven-year period agreed with the Cui family has arrived. In one month, the secret realm of Youshuo Valley will be opened."

Song Wendao said, "A few days ago, I ordered you to select the disciples who will enter Youshuo Valley. Have you already selected them?"

Fang Xiandao, "I would like to go there in person."

A flash of surprise flashed in Song Wen's eyes, "Are you here for the 'Yuanji Cheng Ying Dan'?"

"The Demon Lord is wise." Fang Xian said.

Four years ago, Song Wen went to Kirigakure Island, entered the Yin Fire Lava Cave deep underground, and killed the fourth-level Yin Hump Turtle.

After that, the Jindan monks of Wuji Sect often entered lava caves to look for Yinquan Stone. So far, more than thirty Yinquan stones have been found.

These Yinquan stones were all handed over to Song Wen.

The Yinquan Stone is necessary for refining fourth-level ghosts.

Two years ago, on Song Wen's order, Leliang went to Cui's house and traded twelve Yinquan stones for one Yuanji Chengying Dan.

Song Wen had promised that no matter who it was, as long as they entered Youshuo Valley and successfully brought back Jin Lingzi, they would be rewarded with the 'Yuanji Cheng Ying Dan'.

"You have to think clearly. There are many dangers in Youshuo Valley. You are about to face a fourth-level ghost. Jin Lingzi is not so easy to get. Besides, now that the Eastern and Northern Territories have been recovered, it will not take many years. , the elixir for refining the Yuanji Chengying Pill will no longer be as scarce as before. By then, it should not be difficult for you to obtain a Yuanji Chengying Pill."

Song Wen's words seemed to be admonishing Fang Xian not to risk his life easily, but in fact, he was trying to beat him up.

Jin Lingzi was very important to him. He didn't want Fang Xian to just try his luck and not go all out, which would eventually lead to the loss of Jin Lingzi.

Fang Xian said, "My life span is short and I don't have time to wait slowly. Please allow me, Demon Lord."

Song Wen said, "Okay, since you insist so much, I will help you."

As he spoke, Song Wen suddenly had a few more talismans in his hand.

"These talismans are third-level thunder talismans. I hope that the trip to Youshuo Valley can help you."

"Thank you, Demon Lord." Fang Xian took the talisman and said.

Song Wen took out two Yinquan stones and handed them to the other party.

"The Cui family's unique ghost breath talisman can cover the breath of living people on the cultivators and disguise it as the breath of ghosts. These two Yinquan stones should be enough to help you exchange two ghost breath talismans from the Cui family. With the ghost breath talisman, your trip should be a little smoother."

Fang Xian took the Yinquan stone and said gratefully.

"Don't worry, Demon Lord. I will definitely live up to your trust and bring back Jin Lingzi."

......

Two months later.

When Fang Xian returned and met Song Wen, he looked ashamed and had serious injuries.

"Demon Lord, I failed to bring back Jin Lingzi."

Song Wen's face suddenly darkened and he asked coldly.

"Master Fang, you are a little disappointed to me."

Fang Xian hurriedly explained, "Demon Lord, it's not that I didn't do my best, but that the Cui family was obstructing me."

"Oh?" Song Wen showed a questioning look on his face.

The news that there was Jin Lingzi in Youshuo Valley was revealed by Cui Xuanjing. Logically, he had no reason to make trouble behind his back.
