Seizing Song Wen's Body
"Gu Huang, shall we go to the bottom of the lake and take a look?" Jiang Wanyue asked.
Song Wen remained silent for a moment.
"Go!"
Jiang Wanyue nodded, then turned to the Flood Dragon and said...
"Please point out roughly where that underwater cave is located."
The Flood Dragon's tail twitched slightly, pointing towards a certain spot on the lake below.
"It's right there."
"Good."
Jiang Wanyue lowered her body and fell to three feet above the water's surface.
Then, she activated her Jade-White Flying Sword, which transformed into a hundred-zhang-long giant sword.
The sword intent was cold and sharp as it slashed fiercely towards the lake.
The lake surface churned and split in two, revealing a ravine several meters wide.
However, the lake water did not recombine as it was forced to, but instead quickly froze into ice, forming a solid ice trench.
At the bottom of the icy ravine, a cave entrance suddenly appeared.
The cave is hundreds of feet wide, filled with a lake, deep and dark, like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast.
Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue landed together in front of the cave.
One of the Flood Dragons that was dragged along said.
"This is the cave; once you go in, you can see the ruins."
The six tentacles moved in unison, stuffing all six Yin Soul into the cave.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue slipped into the cave.
The two used their Immortal Essence to protect themselves, keeping the lake water out, and had six Yin Soul hold them back as they slowly ventured deeper.
The cave is not deep; it ends after about ten miles of walking forward.
At this point, the cave had become noticeably more spacious, expanding several times over.
"This is it," the Flood Dragon said.
Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue then noticed that there was a transparent and colorless barrier in front of them, which isolated the lake water and made the cave dry.
In the center of the cave, there was a Bronze Corpse Coffin.
Around the Corpse Coffin, four human-shaped stone statues, each about two or three zhang tall, were kneeling, facing the Corpse Coffin guarding it in the center.
In addition, the cave also contains items such as Meditation Cushion, Pill Furnaces, Jade Couch, and stone tables.
At first glance, this place resembles a meditation hall built by a dying cultivator, albeit a rather simple one.
From beneath Song Wen's feet, another slender tentacle emerged, nudged the transparent barrier, and then retreated.
"When did you discover this site?" Song Wen asked Flood Dragon.
"We don't know exactly how long it's been there. This ruin has existed since we killed the original overlord of this lake and took control of it. However, we have never been able to break through this array barrier and have therefore never entered it," the Flood Dragon said.
Jiang Wanyue suddenly interjected.
"Let me try."
She immediately activated her Jade-White Flying Sword, which transformed into a streak of light and pierced straight through the barrier.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the flying sword was knocked back; the barrier shook violently, but remained unbroken.
Jiang Wanyue showed no disappointment whatsoever; on the contrary, her spirits lifted considerably.
"This formation is probably a mid-grade immortal-level formation, but with the passage of time, its power has diminished considerably. Gu Huang, if we join forces, we should be able to break it."
A mid-grade immortal-level formation means that this is very likely the place where a Profound Immortal Yuxiao passed away.
Song Wen naturally wouldn't refuse, and strands of golden lightning immediately shot out from his right hand.
The golden lightning grew stronger, transforming into Lightning Sphere that burst forth from the water.
Song Wen noticed that the transparent barrier was emanating an extremely dense Yin Qi, suggesting that its owner must be a ghost cultivator.
Xu Zheng this is why this person chose to pass away in this Absolute Yin Land. In addition, this place is located in the Fengdu Poison Sea, which is shrouded in extremely poisonous miasma all year round, which can also prevent him from being disturbed after his ascension.
However, things are unpredictable, and nothing in this world is absolute. Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue eventually came knocking on our door.
The golden Lightning Sphere struck the transparent barrier.
The barrier instantly cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures, and a torrent of Yin Qi dissipated.
The Jade-White Flying Sword suddenly struck, piercing the crack.
"Bang!"
The transparent barrier shattered, unleashing an energy storm.
Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue were prepared and easily blocked the impact of the energy storm. However, the lake water in the cave was completely forced back, surging out of the cave and flowing into the icy ditch.
The cave shook violently, and a large number of rocks crashed down from the ceiling.
To prevent damage to the ruins, Jiang Wanyue acted quickly, throwing the boulders out of the cave from a distance.
After everything calmed down, the two men's gazes fell on the four stone statues.
"It seems... to be just an ordinary stone statue." Jiang Wanyue's tone revealed a hint of disbelief.
Song Wen was equally surprised.
The coffin of the dignified Profound Immortal Yuxiao was guarded by only four ordinary stone statues.
Song Wen didn't bother to think too much, raised his hand and pointed, a point of cold light shooting out.
"Bang!"
One of the stone statues exploded, turning into rubble that rolled all over the ground.
"It really is just an ordinary stone statue!"
Three more points of cold light shot out, and the remaining three stone statues shattered one after another.
After a few breaths, seeing that nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Wanyue flew to the Corpse Coffin.
"This person Profound Immortal Yuxiao, left no treasures behind after his death. I'd like to see what treasures are inside his Corpse Coffin!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wanyue unleashed a burst of Immortal Essence, striking the coffin lid; the lid was instantly blown off.
A dense, gloomy Yin Qi, accompanied by the stench of decay that had been sealed away for many years, rose from the Corpse Coffin.
Jiang Wanyue was the closest, but she was protected by a protective aura. The Yin Qi and stench were repelled before they could even get close, failing to disturb her in the slightest.
Inside the Corpse Coffin, a skeleton was also revealed.
The bones, having endured countless years of erosion, remained as white as jade, showing no signs of decay.
"It seems this person had an extremely strong physical body in life, but as a ghost cultivator, why are his bones as white as jade? Shouldn't they have been stained black by yin Yin Qi long ago?"
Jiang Wanyue seemed quite puzzled, but didn't delve into it. She simply kept searching inside the Corpse Coffin, clearly looking for treasure.
Suddenly, she flicked her sleeve and pulled the skeleton out of the Corpse Coffin, throwing it on the ground.
The skeleton rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop. At the same time, due to the vibration, the skeleton's jaw suddenly opened, and a storage ring fell out.
"So it was in its mouth. No wonder I couldn't find it before."
Jiang Wanyue was about to take the storage ring when a sudden change occurred.
A blur of motion suddenly shot out from the white skeletal skull.
But the afterimage didn't rush towards Jiang Wanyue; instead, it hurtled straight towards Song Wen.
"Hehehe... After waiting for so many years, I have finally found a suitable body."
Song Wen almost instinctively tried to condense Thunder Method to protect his body, but the few strands of silver-white lightning that appeared on his body suddenly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, the afterimage disappeared into Song Wen's brow.
At the same time, Jiang Wanyue's expression changed drastically, and the storage ring that had been captured halfway suddenly fell to the ground.
She darted in front of Song Wen, still holding the Jade-White Flying Sword in her hand, the tip of the sword pressed against Song Wen's brow.
"You old ghost, get out of Gu Huang's body right now! Otherwise, even if I destroy Gu Huang's body, I'll make you pay with your life!"
Although Jiang Wanyue's voice was fierce and her expression murderous, she did not actually make a move, and there was still an undisguised worry and unease in her eyes.
The Ape Yin Soul and the five-headed Flood Dragon Yin Soul were extremely excited at this moment.
However, the crimson tentacles that bound them remained unaffected, preventing them from escaping.
