7.0
[Automatic Law Technique updates complete. This is a minor version update; Law Technique effects have been adjusted as follows.]
[Skull Incantation 7.0: Increases Law Technique power and the number of skeletons.]
As Liang Qi Yun slammed his five fingers together, the Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivator, who was tightly enveloped and imprisoned by the Sunken Abyss Iron Sand, was crushed instantly by the terrifying squeezing force before he could even let out a scream.
Immediately afterwards, a group of skeletal skulls pounced on them, cawing grotesquely.
The [Essence Devouring] technique was activated, instantly draining its bones and marrow.
It turned into a completely lifeless, dried-up corpse.
A large number of cultivators from the Yellow Springs Netherworld brought with them a large amount of [Yellow Springs Sacred Water].
The large amount of [Yellow Springs Sacred Water] allowed [Skull Incantation] to complete another version update in a short period of time.
The [Skull Incantation] in version 7.0 has become the most powerful Law Technique in Qi Yun's hands, with immense power.
In the blink of an eye, a full twenty-seven white skeletons, enveloped in terrifying yin flames, burst forth with a grotesque laugh, covering the sky and the earth. The eerie ghostly aura and yin flames they emitted illuminated a large area of space in a ghastly green hue, creating a terrifying spectacle!
With the continuous increase in the power of his Law Technique, Qi Yun found himself handling the situation with increasing ease.
Previously, it required fully activating the [Southern Ming Sword Devil] state to defeat the Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivators.
Now, we can easily suppress it with just [Iron Sand Method] and [Skull Incantation].
Then, eliminate them one by one!
"Did you see that?" Standing obediently in the safe zone outside the battle circle, Du Yunian clasped his hands behind his back, his lips barely moving, and asked Shen Fan beside him in a very low voice.
"I saw it." Reflected in her pupils was Qi Yun's leisurely and unrestrained way of killing enemies, iron sand and white bones bursting forth with a wave of his hand. Shen Fan gently touched a strand of hair, her eyes trembling, and slowly nodded.
Suppressing the urge to slap Shen Fan, Du Yunian gritted his teeth and said, "I'm asking if you saw the Spirit Points number on the leader's hand?"
"Oh, this one, it seems to be close to breaking 30,000 already." Shen Fan glanced at it and said.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft! If we can leave [Peach Garden] smoothly this time, the position of the leader's personal disciple in the Inner Mansion can be said to be a sure thing." Du Yunian's tone revealed a hint of envy.
One can enter the Inner Mansion Inner Mansion become a true cultivator by winning the title of the champion of the Three Realms, being accepted as a personal disciple by Foundation Establishment True Person, or completing the Qi Refining Sixth Layer according to the prescribed procedures.
However, the treatment they received after entering the Inner Mansion was completely different.
In theory, the Triple First-Place Champion enter the Inner Mansion receive the best treatment. Not only is there a very high probability that they will be accepted as True Disciple by True Person, but they also receive special care from the sect and a series of other benefits.
Whether someone can be directly accepted as a disciple by a True Person depends on the True Person, as each True Person treats their disciples differently.
According to the procedure, after cultivating to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer and entering the Inner Mansion within ten years, one's abilities will be significantly inferior.
We need to continue our efforts to improve our cultivation and strive for the favor of the True Person Immortal.
Although he and Shen Fan had some seniority within the Inner Mansion, they were not True Person.
Even if they successfully enter the Inner Mansion in the future, they will still need to Heart Sutra their future, and it will be far from comparable to Qi Yun's illustrious future, which is already paved with success.
"So you're going to fight those Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivators too?" Sensing the sourness in Du Yunian's words, Shen Fan's lips curled into a slight smile as he teased softly.
"Forget it, these Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivators are all at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and they've all mastered some fighting techniques."
"I'm just a furnace-burner and alchemist, I'd better not join in the fun." Du Yunian touched his bald head and waved his hands repeatedly.
Although he envied Qi Yun, he also knew full well that he was not cut out for combat.
His forte was refining elixirs in a furnace.
While Shen Fan and Du Yunian were still talking, Qi Yun had already killed all the Yellow Springs Netherworld cultivators on this level.
It possesses the supernatural power of the [Skull Incantation], capable of draining bones and marrow.
For him, a war of attrition was meaningless.
The more people there were, the more abundant the cultivation he absorbed became. Not only was his internal True Qi not diminished in the slightest, but it also became even more profound.
I glanced at the Spirit Points on the back of my hand.
[Thirty-nine thousand eight hundred and fifty-three]
Nearly 40,000 Spirit Points.
"It's definitely much faster than killing those poisonous insects and strange beasts." With a smirk, Qi Yun strode towards the statue on the tenth floor.
The deity on the fifth floor is depicted as having a bird's head, a human body, and two wings on its back.
The statue on the tenth level before them was even more eerie and majestic.
It has three heads and six arms, and its entire body is as black as ink. Its main eyes have a cold, dark gold color. Most peculiarly, it carries three huge cloud drums on its back, with golden patterns that look like thunderbolts naturally engraved on their surfaces!
Qi Yun raised an eyebrow as he examined the thunder-like golden patterns on the three cloud drums.
The next moment!
Countless orbs of light, similar to those on the fifth level, reappeared.
The Spirit Source on this floor is significantly more expensive than on the fifth floor; even the cheapest bundle costs 1,000 Spirit Points.
Correspondingly, the Dao imprint contained within the Spirit Source is even purer and more profound.
Even a random clump of food can greatly benefit one's cultivation!
Without improving his aptitude, he glanced at the orbs of light before him. Although many of them emitted a strong sense of pulsation, it was clear that they were compatible with the Law Technique that Qi Yun possessed.
However, it did not contain the kind of divine object that Du Yunian and Shen Fan had described, capable of altering one's aptitude.
Isn't it on this floor?
Having not seen any divine objects that could alter one's aptitude, Qi Yun suppressed the urge to immediately exchange these Spirit Source.
After all, the price of the divine item is still unknown. If we get it but don't have enough Spirit Points, that would be maddening.
"Where is the shortcut you mentioned before, the one that allows you to jump directly from the tenth floor to the fifteenth floor?"
Turning around, Qi Yun asked Shen and Du, who were not far away.
Upon hearing this, Shen Fan and Du Yunian immediately stepped forward.
The two exchanged a glance, and then each carefully took out an item from their Storage Bag.
In Shen Fan's hand was a bronze-yellow hilt, covered with cracks, but forcibly glued together with a layer of gold liquid, barely maintaining its integrity.
In Du Yunian's hand was a broken blade carefully wrapped in some kind of unknown animal hide.
The animal hide was peeled back to reveal a fragment of a blade, Flowing Light as if countless streams of water were flowing across its surface.
An extraordinary and incomparably sharp aura instantly spread out, sending chills down one's spine.
Du Yunian carefully took the broken hilt from Shen Fan's hand, and then even more carefully attached the strange broken blade to it.
Buzz!
A soft chirping sound rang out, and the two parts immediately and seamlessly joined together upon contact.
It formed a short dagger, incomplete yet exuding an astonishing aura!
Holding the short dagger, under Qi Yun's watchful gaze, Du Yunian lightly slashed at the trunk of the towering peach tree that pierced the clouds.
La!
A soft sound, like cloth being torn, could be heard.
Accompanying the overwhelming, rich, almost tangible, pale pink wisps of light.
The cut in the peach tree trunk did not reveal the wood's texture.
Instead, it revealed a vertical pillar of light composed of pure spiritual light that surged upwards continuously!
"Stepping into this pillar of light will take you directly to the upper level. Once you reach the fifteenth level, you can cut open the tree trunk." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Du Yunian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that the short dagger in his hand wouldn't work.
After all, the killing god behind him is ruthless when it comes to killing.
Approaching closer to examine the pillar of light hidden within the peach tree trunk, Qi Yun couldn't help but exclaim:
"Since this beam of light can lead directly to the upper levels, why not go up a few more levels instead of coming out on the fifteenth?"
"What the leader may not know is that the higher you go in this [Peach Garden] secret realm, the more terrifying the poisonous insects and strange beasts you will encounter."
Beyond the fifteenth floor, the area where the statues are located no longer offers protection.
"The poisonous insects and beasts above the sixteenth level are all around the Qi Refining Eighth Layer," Du Yunian explained quickly.
"The sixteenth level is equivalent to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer —truly worthy of being True Lord- level [Remnant Realm]."
Without another word, Qi Yun reached out and put his arm around Shen and Du, then stepped into the surging pillar of light.
The three figures were instantly engulfed by the surging spiritual light, and they sped towards the fifteenth level of the secret realm along this hidden shortcut!
