Entering the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven

Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven is located in the southeastern part of the Southern Border Cultivation World. It is shrouded in Yin Qi all year round, and is home to a large number of Ghost Creature and a large number of yin-attribute materials. It attracts a large number of cultivators to hunt Ghost Creature here. Most of these cultivators die in Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven, and only a few lucky ones come out alive.

A streak of blue Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards this location.

Two breaths later, the blue Escape Light stopped, revealing a flying boat shimmering with blue light. Shen Long and Lin Yutong stood on it, their expressions solemn.

"This is the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven! The Yin Qi is so dense, no wonder there are so many Ghost Creature."

Lin Yutong's voice was heavy.

Following Lin Yutong's gaze, one could see a huge Black Hole, with gusts of eerie wind blowing and the sound of ghosts howling clearly audible.

"We'll proceed cautiously, hoping to find Third-Rank Yin-Evil Beast."

Shen Long said, releasing the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada -Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light.

With a flick of his hand, he Sea-Crossing Boat flying into the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven.

Sea-Crossing Boat through the Black Hole, Shen Long felt a sudden change in his surroundings, finding himself in a hazy, gray space filled with gusts of cold wind. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was thin, while the Yin Qi was heavy.

Lin Yutong held the Ghost-Seeking Disk, her face full of vigilance.

The Ghost-Seeking Disk trembled slightly, emitting a piercing hissing sound.

"There's Ghost Creature!"

Lin Yutong frowned and said.

Shen Long summoned the Thunder-Guiding Bead and cast a spell. A deafening thunderclap resounded from the sky, and a silver lightning bolt as thick as an adult's arm struck down, heading straight for a certain point in the void.

At the same time, a sharp, piercing screech rang out.

A silver lightning bolt struck a spot in the void, followed by a mournful Ghost Wail sound. A Golden Spear, wreathed in Golden Flame, flew towards the scene and disappeared into the lightning.

When the lightning subsided, a huge crater belching black smoke appeared on the ground.

With a single gesture, Shen Long sent a large Black Bead, the size of a pigeon's egg, flying into his hand.

"Golden Core Realm Ghost Creature! We actually encountered Golden Core Realm Ghost Creature at the entrance."

Shen Long frowned and said.

"Fairy Lin, please be careful."

Shen Long gave instructions.

Lin Yutong nodded, summoned a white bead, and cast a spell. The white bead emitted a dazzling white light, transforming into a thick White Light Screen that enveloped Shen Long and Lin Yutong.

The Yin Qi within the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven is extremely dense. Staying there for too long will cause the Yin Qi to corrode the cultivator's physical body. Treasure hunters need to use treasures to isolate themselves from the Yin Qi. In addition, they must guard against attacks from Ghost Creature, which consumes a lot of Law Power.

Lin Yutong is mainly responsible for operating the Ghost-Seeking Disk and defending against Ghost Creature attacks, which makes things easier for Shen Long.

The Sea-Crossing Boat flew forward, and along the way, Shen Long encountered many Ghost Creature, mostly low-level Ghost Creature, all of which he killed by activating the Thunder-Guiding Bead.

Occasionally, they would encounter a Ghost Creature at the Golden Core Realm, but before it could get within three hundred feet of them, it was detected by the Ghost-Seeking Disk and blasted to death by lightning.

Thunder Method is the nemesis of Ghost Creature. In addition, the demonic fire spewed by the Golden-Winged Fire Ant is also very powerful. Shen Long also has Third-Order Spirit Flame. Ghost Creature below the Nascent Soul Realm are no match for Shen Long at all.

About two weeks later, the Sea-Crossing Boat appeared above a vast, boundless black mountain range.

Shen Long held a black animal hide in his hand, his expression solemn.

"The people from the Five Saints Sect encountered the Third-Rank Yin-Evil Beast Third-Rank Yin-Evil Beast here. Let's search around here and hope we can find it."

Shen Long said, making a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat slowly flew forward. The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada shone with dazzling golden light, probing the situation within a hundred miles.

There is a lot of black vegetation here, and a cold wind blows, stirring up some sand and stones.

A ripple appeared in the void above their heads, and a jet-black ghostly claw materialized out of thin air, slamming onto the White Light Screen with a muffled thud.

Lin Yutong frowned. The Ghost-Seeking Disk showed nothing unusual, indicating that this Ghost Creature was skilled in stealth.

The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada emitted a sharp chirping sound, its body shimmering with golden light.

Shen Long unleashed his Law Power, Thunder-Guiding Bead to emit a dazzling silver light. A Silver Thunder Pillar, about ten feet in diameter, pierced the sky and struck a mountain peak.

With a flash of black light, a hideous Fierce Ghost appeared, its face blue with fangs, its eyes blood red, and its body appearing and disappearing. It let out a Ghost Wail wail and spewed out a Black Sound Wave to meet the Silver Thunder Pillar.

The Silver Thunder Pillar easily shattered the Black Sound Wave. Just as the Fierce Ghost was about to dodge, a sharp, piercing screech rang in its ears, instantly making it dizzy.

Silver Thunder Pillar struck the Fierce Ghost ghost, the blinding light engulfing the entire mountaintop, and a surge of energy erupted.

Before the lightning had even dissipated, a Golden Spear shot out, disappeared into the lightning, and emerged from the other end.

When the lightning subsided, the entire mountaintop vanished, leaving behind a giant crater billowing black smoke.

With a single gesture, Shen Long sent a Black Bead the size of a pigeon's egg flying towards him and landing in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, the power of your treasure is incredible! Combined with your Spirit Insect, Golden Core Realm Ghost Creature wouldn't last more than a few moves."

Lin Yutong praised, her face full of envy.

"It's nothing. If you can obtain a Thunder-Guiding Bead, you can have it refined into a treasure."

Shen Long disagreed. To be fair, the Thunder-Guiding Bead was indeed powerful, and it was quite effective against Barbarian Race cultivators and Ghost Creature.

"I've spent many years in the North Sea Cultivation World, killing numerous third-tier Thunder Attribute Third-Rank Spirit Beast, but I haven't obtained Thunder-Guiding Bead or Thunder-Absorbing Bead."

Lin Yutong said in a regretful tone.

"There will be other opportunities later."

Shen Long said, and steered the Sea-Crossing Boat forward.

They searched tens of thousands of miles, killing many Golden Core Realm Ghost Creature, but found no Third-Rank Yin-Evil Beast.

"It seems that the Yin-Evil Beast was either just passing through or was killed by other cultivators."

Lin Yutong guessed.

Shen Long frowned, staring at the map in his hand, looking thoughtful.

A deafening explosion rang out, interrupting Shen Long's thoughts.

Shen Long frowned and opened his Divine Sense Divine Sense. He sensed that several powerful auras were moving towards this place, among which was a terrifying fluctuation of yin Yin Qi.

The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada once again emitted a dazzling golden light. Fifty miles to the northwest, two Core Formation Cultivator swiftly swept across the sky, followed closely by a dark shadow at great speed.

"Oh no, Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature! Run!"

Shen Long's expression changed, and with a quick hand seal, the Sea-Crossing Boat emitted a blinding blue light and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.

The two Core Formation Cultivator were caught up by the dark figure after escaping for more than ten miles, letting out a shrill scream.

Seven days later, the Sea-Crossing Boat appeared above a vast, rolling Black Dense Forest.

"It shouldn't be chasing us anymore. Fortunately, it was other Core Formation Cultivator who encountered Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature. If they hadn't bought us some time, we might not have been able to escape."

Lin Yutong said with a hint of relief.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I didn't expect our luck to be so bad. We encountered a Nascent Soul Realm stage Ghost Creature as soon as we entered the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven. According to intelligence, there are quite a few Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature in the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven. Hopefully, we won't encounter any more Nascent Soul Realm stage Ghost Creature in the future!"

He made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat flew forward at a relatively slow speed.

A deafening explosion came from afar, faintly mixed with the sound of chanting.

A huge beam of azure light shone brightly in the distant sky, followed immediately by a long Cyan Rainbow that flew rapidly toward them.

The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada immediately looked towards the Cyan Rainbow. A look of surprise flashed in Shen Long's eyes as he said, "Eh, it's Zen Master Xinkong."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, have you run into someone you know?"

Lin Yutong asked curiously.

Shen Long nodded and said, "The cultivators of the Heaven Ghost Sect are hunting down Zen Master Xinkong. I must help. However, the Heaven Ghost Sect is quite powerful. Let's change our appearance to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Zen Master Xinkong helped Shen Long to deliver his mother, who had become Fierce Ghost, Shen Long always remembered this.

He patted the Shape-Shifting Lock on his chest, and a blinding light shone forth, engulfing his figure.

As the light faded, Shen Long's appearance changed.

Lin Yutong also changed her appearance and looked into the distance.

Not long after, Zen Master Xinkong flew over from afar, his body covered in blood, his breath weak, and he looked as if he had suffered a great loss of vitality.

"Esteemed benefactors, please lend a helping hand. This humble monk will surely repay you handsomely."

Zen Master Xinkong spoke, his voice weak.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the void above his head, and a pitch- Black Ghost Claw appeared, striking towards Zen Master Xinkong's head.

Zen Master Xinkong reacted quickly, his right hand emitting a bright blue light as he struck out with his palm, shattering the Black Ghost Claw.

A piercing sound rang out as a long black streak shot towards Zen Master Xinkong.

The black rainbow was moving very fast. Just as it approached Zen Master Xinkong by fifty feet, a Silver Thunder Pillar with a diameter of about ten feet ripped through the sky and struck the black rainbow accurately. The silver lightning engulfed the black rainbow.

A black Escape Light flew in from afar, then stopped in a Escape Light. The Escape Light dissipated, revealing a black, shimmering flying boat. Two men and a woman stood aboard, with a portly old man in black robes leading the way. He possessed the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage.

Judging from the markings on their clothes, they were clearly disciples of the Heaven Ghost Sect.

"This person is the one we are looking for. We would be grateful if you two could do us a favor."

The old man in black robes said politely.

Shen Long and Lin Yutong, despite their low cultivation levels, showed no fear in the face of them, clearly indicating they were not ordinary Core Formation Cultivator.

"I'm sorry, I cannot comply!"

Shen Long's tone was cold.

He wasn't afraid of two Core Formation Late Stage and one Great Perfection -stage Core Formation cultivator; at least escaping wouldn't be a problem.
