Chapter 788: Destroying the Pillar of Hell
After the death of Tianchi Patriarch and the Wu cultivator from Xiankong Island, the few people who were eager to try and pick the Soul-Snatching Orb also gave up.
After all, although the Soul-Snatching Orb is the material for refining soul tools, whether there is a way to refine it in this mortal world is a matter of debate. In their opinion, it is not worth it to risk their lives for an illusory soul tool.
Now, the only five people who have not come out of the Ghost King Tree are Fairy Guhan, Patriarch Tianying, Tianmo Fei, Xiao Lin, and Huoling Tonglao.
Shui Ruohan couldn't help but worry about Xiao Lin.
In her opinion, although Xiao Lin's spiritual power is much stronger than that of ordinary Yuanying early stage cultivators, the Soul-Snatching Orb is different from the past. Once it cannot be resisted, it will cost his life.
But at the same time, she has a lot of confidence in Xiao Lin. She seems to be sure that Xiao Lin will come back safely.
This feeling was very strange, even she herself was a little confused. After thinking for a while, she just found a reason for herself. After all, if Xiao Lin had any accident, then her trip to the deserted continent would be ruined.
Xiao Lin and Xiao Hei had already flown to a height of three or four thousand feet. The branches and leaves here were even denser. Xiao Lin even had to use his magic power to separate the black branches and leaves around him.
This ghost king tree was really amazing. The branches and leaves covered at least dozens of miles, and it was even more amazingly high.
Xiao Lin and Xiao Hei had already picked up twenty soul-sucking beads, but still didn't meet the other people. Of course, Xiao Lin didn't know that the ancestor of Tianchi and the monk surnamed Wu from Xiankong Island had their souls taken away by the soul-sucking beads and died.
With Xiao Hei, Xiao Lin was even more powerful. As long as he found the soul-sucking beads, he would basically pick them up without any effort, which made Xiao Lin the most efficient one.
As the man and the beast flew higher and higher, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that the size of the soul-sucking bead was gradually increasing. When he found it at a height of five or six thousand feet, the size of the soul-sucking bead was close to the size of an egg.
But the soul power attack of the soul-sucking bead of this size was several times stronger than the previous ones. Xiao Lin believed that if it were not for Xiao Hei's innate ability to restrain the soul power attack of the soul-sucking bead, he would not be able to pick even one.
Xiao Lin even believed that it would be very difficult for Fairy Gu Han and Ancestor Tian Ying to pick this kind of soul-sucking bead. Even if they could pick one or two, it would basically reach their limit.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's heart moved.
Along the way, Xiao Lin was picking while paying attention to the movements around him all the time. He didn't want to let others see the scene of Xiao Hei picking the soul-sucking bead casually.
The soul-sucking beads here are already the size of an egg. The higher you go, the bigger the soul-sucking beads will be. With their soul power attack, Fairy Gu Han and Ancestor Tian Ying will not be able to pick them. In this way, they will definitely not climb to such a high altitude.
Then he can pick up bigger soul-sucking beads with Xiao Hei without any scruples.
Xiao Lin was right. When he climbed to a height of seven or eight thousand feet, the size of the soul-sucking beads he found was surprisingly the size of a fist.
Such a soul-sucking bead is enough to match the dozen or so thumb-sized beads at the bottom, but the number is getting scarcer. After searching for a long time, Xiao Lin only found three.
And going up, he could not find any more no matter what.
Unwilling to give up, Xiao Lin searched for more than two hours, but still found nothing. It seems that there are only three of the largest soul-sucking beads at the highest point.
Thinking about it, he had already picked dozens of soul-grabbing beads, which had greatly exceeded his expectations. Moreover, Xiao Lin also understood the truth that people are greedy, so after thinking about it, he jumped down.
When Xiao Lin landed on the ground and returned to the crowd, he was surprised to find that Fairy Gu Han and Ancestor Tian Ying had already returned. They all looked at Xiao Lin in surprise.
It seemed that they didn't understand why Xiao Lin took so long to come back. Could it be that he picked more soul-grabbing beads?
"Xiao Lin, why did you come back just now? We have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Well, after picking up a thumb-sized soul-sucking bead, my spiritual power was almost exhausted. I had no choice but to find a place to meditate and restore my spiritual power. This recovery actually took so much time. I have kept you waiting for a long time."
After hearing this, everyone realized that it was because Xiao Lin's spiritual power was too consumed after picking up the soul-sucking bead, and he went to meditate to restore his spiritual power. For cultivators, once the spiritual power is consumed too much, it takes a long time to recover. In this way, it makes sense.
Tianying Patriarch looked at Xiao Lin with contempt and said, "Let's go. If I am not mistaken, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond should be behind this Ghost King Tree."
After that, everyone spread their escape lights and flew to one side. This Ghost King Tree covered a hundred miles, and everyone had to go around it.
Fortunately, their speed was not slow. Even though they had slowed down, they had already bypassed the Ghost King Tree in less than a cup of tea.
Soon they came to a canyon, in which stood six black stone pillars, each of which was dozens of feet high and flashing a strong black light. In the center of these six stone pillars was a circular well with a diameter of about ten feet.
On one side of the well, stood a stone tablet with three large characters written on it.
Although everyone had never seen this kind of text, they could still judge from the shape of the characters that these three words should be "Wan Gui Chi".
"Wan Gui Chi?"
Everyone sped up their flight speed and flew to the six stone pillars. Now they looked closely and found that the black light on the six stone pillars was actually composed of countless black inscriptions, which kept rotating.
"Fairy Gu Han, these six stone pillars are the pillars that lead to the underworld. The inscriptions on them are said to be the words of the underworld. To break the restrictions on these pillars, only the Senluo Yin-Yang Order can do it. These six stone pillars are also divided into three Yin and three Yang. Every time the restrictions on a pillar are broken, a treasure will be ejected from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pool. The ownership of the treasure will depend on our respective opportunities and luck."
"This is natural. After all, there are only so many treasures, and it is not realistic for everyone to have one. Later, when the restrictions are broken, the ownership of the treasure will depend on our respective opportunities, but there is one thing I want to say in advance."
Fairy Gu Han glanced at everyone, then turned to transmit the voice to everyone and said: "When the treasure appears later, you can grab it by yourself. After all, this is an opportunity that only comes once in ten thousand years, but we are righteous cultivators after all. Once the treasure is taken by one of us, you must not kill people to take the treasure, otherwise this fairy will never stop."
The Tianying ancestor next to him was also saying something to everyone through the secret art of transmitting the voice.
Moreover, the people on both sides distanced themselves and began to be wary of each other.
After Fairy Gu Han finished speaking, Shui Ruohan came to a stone pillar and sat down cross-legged, while Feng Jiuniang and Lin Cang came to Shui Ruohan's left and right sides, with vigilant expressions on their faces.
Fairy Gu Han was looking at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond in the center.
From where everyone was, they could not see the scene in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond, but they saw the black smoke that kept coming out of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond.
"What spewed out of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond should be the Netherworld Qi. The Netherworld Qi and the True Demon Qi have similar properties, but the Netherworld Qi also carries a trace of the most evil Qi. Once contaminated, it will gradually melt the Yuanshen of the immortal cultivator, so everyone must be careful later and never touch the Netherworld Qi." Fairy Gu Han's voice sounded in the ears of Xiao Lin and others.
Xiao Lin was also alert when he heard this. The True Demon Qi is a power that only the small demon world has. It is rumored to be at the same level as the upper world where the immortal cultivators ascend.
Since the Netherworld Qi has similar properties to the True Demon Qi, then this Netherworld Qi must also be a kind of attribute power that transcends the mortal world.
After Shui Ruohan sat cross-legged, he began to sacrifice the Senluo Yin Order in his sea of consciousness, stimulating a milky white light column that shone on a pillar that leads to the underworld.
The inscriptions on the pillar that leads to the underworld suddenly lit up, as if trying to resist the milky white light column.
But the Senluo Yin Order itself is also a treasure. After the milky white light column it emitted shone on the pillar, it immediately spread out and gradually began to suppress the inscription into the pillar.
In a moment, the inscription on the pillar that leads to the underworld was pressed into the pillar, and the entire pillar was also shrouded in a faint milky white light.
After doing all this, Shui Ruohan began to control the Senluo Yin Order, emitting a milky white beam of light, shooting towards another pillar of the underworld...
The people on the opposite side, Tianying Laozu and others, were also looking at Tianjue Yaoji. Like Shui Ruohan, she controlled the Senluo Yang Order and had broken the inscription on one pillar of the underworld, and began to break the inscription on the second pillar of the underworld.
As the restrictions on the second pillar of the underworld were also suppressed, everyone began to get nervous, and the anger at the scene began to condense.
Once the restrictions on the six pillars of the underworld were completely suppressed, it meant that the restrictions on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pool were opened, and then several treasures would be randomly ejected. And these treasures, according to legend, can reach the level of high-level spiritual treasures at the worst.
If you are lucky, you can even get some unprecedented and top-grade spiritual pills. For cultivators, a spiritual pill that can improve the realm is sometimes more precious than a high-level spiritual treasure.
After all, spiritual treasures can only improve the combat power of cultivators, while a spiritual pill that can improve realms can increase lifespan and bring infinite possibilities in the future.
In comparison, they, the Nascent Soul cultivators who have practiced for hundreds of years, naturally know which is more important.
"Clang~" As Shui Ruohan and Tian Jue Yao Ji each suppressed the last pillar of the underworld, the earth suddenly trembled.
Almost at the same time, several beams of light shot towards the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond, and arrived at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond in the blink of an eye. At this time, a large piece of black flame suddenly emerged from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pond, sweeping across in an instant.
"Fire of the Netherworld?" Several exclamations came.
