Divine Sense into Threads

When spearmanship reaches a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, it brings about a very powerful effect.

That means if you can't break the Unity of Heaven and Man, you can't break the spear stance of the Hu Mang.

If you can't break through the spear's momentum, you can only wait to die.

Of course, there is another possibility: that the Hu Mang's Qi and Blood and Law Power are depleted to the point where it can no longer maintain a state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

However, given Hu Mang's current physical strength, let alone one battle of this level, even ten battles wouldn't make him feel much fatigue.

Once the "Mysterious Yin Body-Refining Instruction" is perfected, the physical body can withstand Swordsmanship without any protective magic Law Treasure, and is even unafraid of ordinary heavenly thunder and earthly fire.

For the Hu Mang, this benefit doesn't bring powerful physical defense, but rather the terrifying bursts and output that come with such resilience.

Thousands of ghost soldiers and demons attacked from all directions, but nearly half of them were killed by the Hu Mang. The rest finally learned to be afraid and scattered in all directions.

Hu Mang did not pursue them.

His gaze fell on the little demons carrying flags. The ghost flags they carried had different names on them, and Hu Mang set his sights on one of the ghost flags with the character "Iron" on it.

"Old Third."

"I understand what you mean. Keep in touch, and watch me mark Second Brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaosan also transformed into a gust of ghostly wind and disappeared from the spot.

With its powerful physical body, the Hu Mang's vital Qi and Blood is like a torch to the sensitive ghosts, making it almost impossible for it to remain hidden.

But the Old Third is different; if he were to dress up as a ghost, no one could tell the difference between a real ghost and a fake one.

So Hu Mang followed far behind, leaving the Old Third to track the flag-bearing kid. That Old Ironhead was the reincarnation of the Iron Wall General's remnant soul. Although his nickname was Old Ironhead, he still preferred to be called Iron Wall General.

At least by following this flag bearer, the chances of finding people are higher than with the other kids.

During the pursuit, the Hu Mang successively eliminated three or four more waves of ghost soldiers, and a large amount of Yin Qi dissipated with the wind.

Unfortunately, he didn't raise corpses, so all that Yin Qi was wasted. At least half of the Profound Yin Lineage's skills lay in raising and refining corpses, including the four sets of demonic methods he acquired, one of which was the "Nine Nether Corpse-Control Great Method" specifically for controlling corpses.

Soon, guided by the Old Third's coordinates, the Hu Mang gradually approached an area with extremely abundant Yin Qi.

It was an area completely dominated by Yin Qi. The grayish-white Yin Qi, like the rising tide, surged from all directions and converged towards the center of the area, forming visible gray tides that flowed, rolled, and swirled on the ground, emitting a low whistling sound.

Where the Yin Qi tides passed, layers of white frost accumulated on the ground, the soil froze and cracked into fine cracks, and wisps of cold air emerged from the cracks, as if the earth itself was breathing.

Even more bizarre were the "things" emerging from the Yin Qi. Sometimes it was a pale arm, suddenly thrusting out from the tide of Yin Qi on the ground, its five fingers opening and closing, grabbing a handful of air before retracting back into the mist; sometimes it was a blurry face, emerging from the churning mist, its features distorted, its mouth opening and closing as if silently roaring, before sinking back into the depths of the mist; sometimes it was pairs of feet suspended in mid-air, as if someone were hanging upside down from an unseen ceiling, gently swaying, before disappearing into the mist like water droplets merging into the surface of water.

"This feels a bit like an ancient ghost on patrol, Old Demon Black Mountain and Nie Xiaoqian," Hu Mang muttered to himself.

Using the aura of the "fox demon bloodline," they quickly located the mark left by the Old Third: a message carved on the ground—

"Second Brother, something's wrong. It's not Old Ironhead, but someone is using Old Ironhead's natal ghost flag to summon ghosts and refine corpses. What a modern demon corpse! It's even covered by an exoskeleton. I'll go check it out first. You'll know when you get here, Second Brother."

Exoskeleton Corpse?

How are these two words combined?

Hu Mang was taken aback at first, then quickly came to his senses. Could the exoskeleton that the Old Third mentioned be the batch of External Spirit Root he had found in the steam factory before?

As for the demon corpse, the demon corpse of Pine Peak Security Company?

Following the marks left by the Old Third, Hu Mang passed through a surging tide of Yin Qi and arrived at the back of a military tent that had mostly collapsed. The scene that came into view made his eyes narrow slightly.

On the high slope piled with grave soil, hundreds of demon corpses were densely packed together, including tiger demons, wolf demons, snake demons, deer demons, eagle demons, and some other strange creatures whose names were unknown. Some retained their complete beast forms, while others still retained some characteristics of partial transformation.

The bodies of these demons were covered with an External Spirit Root that the Hu Mang had seen before, and those fine needles, as thin as cow hair, were inserted into the acupoints of all the demons.

The grave soil had already submerged the monsters' ankles, and billowing Yin Qi was rising up from their feet, continuously flowing into their bodies.

Hu Mang even recognized several familiar faces: Huang Jiayou, Fourth Aunt Bai, Bai Chengwan, and Bai Yizun, though some were already dead and others were half-dead.

Strangely, whether alive or dead, these demonic creatures possessed extremely powerful auras. Even the two good-for-nothing playboys from the Bai Household had already reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and even showed signs of reaching the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Hu Mang was well aware of this, because he was currently at this stage.

Looking around, almost everything was a demon of similar cultivation level, along with demon corpses.

"Refining a living person into a corpse?"

"Exoskeleton-based corpse refining?"

"Modern demonic corpse refining technique?"

In the center of the grave, the old demonic cultivator he had met before stood in the same spot. The aura he exuded was undoubtedly that of Golden Core cultivator, but what was strange was not his cultivation level.

It was the back of his head.

It turned out that the other party's hair was a wig, and most likely a specially made one, capable of concealing the detection by Divine Sense. Now that the wig was off, it revealed the back of the head, which had also been mechanically modified. Countless visible threads were spitting out from the other party's mechanical grooves, each thread piercing into the body of a demon corpse. Judging from this, it seemed to be using violent means to penetrate the meridians and guide the Yin Qi. No wonder the cultivation of these demon corpses improved so quickly.

Hu Mang quickly scanned the area, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his mother wasn't there.

However, when he peered at the old man again, he suddenly shuddered, realizing something.

Divine Sense into Threads!?

This is a more advanced technique of manipulating Divine Sense than "Sword Qi into Threads".

Even if the "Sword Qi into Threads" technique fails, it won't fundamentally damage your skills; at most, you just won't be able to master this advanced sword control technique.

However, if the "Divine Sense into Threads" fails, at best the Niwan Palace will be damaged, and at worst the consciousness will dissipate and the person will become an idiot.

Moreover, I remember that during my cultivation class, the teacher repeatedly emphasized that such advanced Divine Sense techniques could only be cultivated at least in the Golden Core Late Stage.

Although this old man is also a Golden Core, he could never be in the Golden Core Late Stage!

Is it another one of those human modification and cultivation Law Artifact?

Just as the old demonic cultivator was manipulating the corpse, he seemed to have awakened Bai Siniang, who said with a pained and unwilling expression.

"You promised... you shouldn't have refined me..."

The old man from the demonic path sneered.

"Dragon-Slaying Department, Demon-Subduing Guard, Demon-Suppressing Guard, Bai Siniang, I didn't know you could have offended so many forces. Have you forgotten what kind of business we're in? Thanks to you, I'm now stuck between staying and leaving. I can only use Secret Method to refine your corpses. Once I've nurtured you all into Pseudo-Golden Core, I'll take a gamble and see if I can break through the Yin-Yang Passage."

"I am, I am Sixth Master Shen's woman. He will not let you off the hook for what you've done..."

Fourth Aunt Bai was half-conscious, muttering to herself, as sharp thorns pierced out from under her skin, forming what looked like a soft hedgehog armor.

Although this woman was arrogant and domineering with a promiscuous private life, it must be said that with her soft armor and two long, white legs, she was quite attractive.

However, that old man has been reformed, so he probably doesn't care about beautiful women anymore.

However, the old man of the demonic path soon began talking to himself again.

"There seems to be something strange in the Yin Qi."

The next moment, a thread of Divine Sense seemed to pierce through the void and directly plunged into a thin mass of Yin Qi. After struggling for a moment, the Yin Qi actually transformed into a human figure, which was none other than Chen Xiaosan, who had sneaked in to watch the show.

Chen Xiaosan looked in shock at the Divine Sense thread embedded in his shoulder. This was the first time he had encountered someone who could break his "Exit Yin and Enter Yang" technique.

No, to be precise, it was the second time.

But back then, Boss Gu used a sword, not like the other party who used only Divine Sense to break the spell.

A cold glint flashed in the old demonic cultivator's eyes. He was about to use his Divine Sense threads to pierce the other's Dantian and completely destroy his cultivation. However, the next moment, a Golden Core Divine Sense was no less powerful than his own rushed towards him.

In an instant, the air seemed to be suddenly gripped by an invisible hand and then twisted violently.

The Formation Method Talismanic Script on the ground that were in operation flickered violently a few times, and some lines even broke off directly; the demon corpses that were awakening froze at the same time, their slightly trembling bodies stiffening, and the eerie green light in their eye sockets flickered uncertainly.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of Chen Xiaosan. The Wisdom King Fire in the palm of the figure pressed directly onto Chen Xiaosan's shoulder, burning away a portion of the other's flesh and the threads of Divine Sense embedded in it.

Chen Xiaosan gasped.

"Quickly check yourself again for any remaining threads inside your body. If that thing gets stuck in your Dantian, you're ruined for life."

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Chen Xiaosan transformed into a wisp of yin Yin Qi again without hesitation. This time, the Yin Qi plunged directly into the surrounding ghostly mist, making it impossible for even Hu Mang's Divine Sense to detect its location.

Then, Hu Mang turned to look at the old man from the demonic path opposite him.

"It's you!!"

The old man from the demonic path clearly recognized Hu Mang as well.

A flash of light appeared in the Hu Mang's palm, and the metal Dantian that had been dug out earlier landed in his palm. He weighed it a couple of times.

"Do you know them?" he asked in return.

"It really was you who killed Jia Number Four in the steam factory!"
