Chen Lin's lightning escape technique had a limited distance, so he only escaped into the canyon at one time, and then he randomly selected a cave entrance and entered it.
After entering the cave entrance, he did not dare to stay. He changed his appearance and then shot away deep into the cave.
The underground space was dark, but perhaps because of the luminous objects in the geology, he could barely see. In the later stages of foundation building, he did not need to use lighting or other items.
There was no stopping along the way and we soon reached the bottom.
There was an empty space in front of him, and there was no limit to what he could see, but Chen Lin was not surprised.
He had already understood before coming that the underground here is divided into several layers. Each layer is an independent space, and the deeper you go, the larger the area of the space. In the fifth layer of space that has been explored so far,
It is said that the area is equivalent to a vast country!
Therefore, when the city lord of Tianyun Fairy City said that the Ji family might be hidden in Wanhun Ridge, he was not referring to the outside, but the underground space here.
The Yin Qi in the first layer was much stronger than in the canyon, but there was no pressure on Chen Lin. He changed his robes, took out the Red Fire Sword and began to explore slowly.
After walking a few steps, a shadowy figure floated towards him, carrying a cold aura.
He did not panic, but looked at it with interest.
This is the 'specialty' of this place. Souls that have not entered reincarnation due to various reasons can also be called resentful spirits.
Anyone hanging around on the first floor was of a lower level. Chen Lin looked at them for a while and then activated the Burning Lotus True Fire to eliminate them.
Then move on.
Whether it was the Burning Lotus True Fire, the Soul-Destroying Finger, or the power of thunder, they were all the nemesis of the Yin Soul, so he had no pressure here and even found a few Yin Spirit Grasses.
This thing is a material for refining elixirs targeting the soul. It rarely exists in the outside world and is of great value.
The major soul-cultivating forces stationed here all year round. In addition to needing the special environment here to practice, they also wanted to seize resources.
However, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that appeared on the first floor were all low-level. After looking for them for a while, Chen Lin lost interest and prepared to enter the second floor.
At this moment, two shadows appeared in the distance, making his eyes light up.
These are two monks, their cultivation is only in the late stage of Qi training!
He immediately leaned over and without any nonsense, he directly knocked the two of them unconscious and took them to a hidden place to start the interrogation.
It's a pity that the two people's cultivation level is too low, and their knowledge is limited. Even the conditions on the lower floors are told by others, and they know very little, let alone the information about the Ji family that has been living in secret.
Shaking his head, Chen Lin did not kill the two of them to silence them. He just used the soul-inducing technique to process their memories, and then got up and went straight to the second floor.
The Yin Qi in this layer is more intense, and the monsters inside are more advanced and more numerous.
He had never seen so many kinds of ghost monsters, which opened his eyes. If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have wanted to write an illustration of ghost monsters and keep them for his accumulation.
This time, he did not continue to use the Burning Lotus True Fire to deal with monsters, but instead used the Soul-Destroying Finger, taking the opportunity to understand this secret soul technique.
He didn't worry anymore. According to the information he got from the two qi-training monks, because the area of the second floor was vast enough, even if Madam Bones caught up, she wouldn't be able to find his location accurately.
Moreover, there are many monks here who specialize in practicing Yin-type exercises and have opened caves here. They never leave all year round. It is very likely that there are people from the Ji family.
Chen Lin calmed down, disguised himself as an adventuring monk, and began to explore this floor.
Ten days later.
Chen Lin was holding a black fruit in his hand, with a face-like fruit on it, and his face showed a strange color.
This thing is the Grimace Fruit. The pulp can be used to refine elixirs, and the core can conceal one's own soul. He still has one on him, but it is only effective for low-level monks and is of little use now.
Putting the fruit into his storage bag, Chen Lin randomly found an opening leading to the third floor and flew down.
There are indeed many caves opened by monks on the second floor, especially Yinji monks, but they were unable to find out any information about the Ji family, so they could only continue to delve deeper.
On the third level, the situation is completely different. Not only have many new ghost species appeared, but their levels are extremely high. Some ghost monsters have even condensed into entities!
Those at the initial level of foundation building are the norm, and occasionally there will even be those at the perfect level of foundation building. Even though his soul-destroying finger is very sharp, he is still a little tired of dealing with it. In the end, he just hides and hides, and no longer takes the initiative to provoke.
"Fellow Taoist, help!"
Just when Chen Lin solved a peak-level foundation-building ghost with long nails on one hand that had materialized, and just put away the nail trophies, he saw a gray-robed monk running away like crazy, shouting for help as he ran.
Behind the other party was a woman with a ferocious face and a black air emanating from her body.
But this woman is not a ghost, but a monk with a physical body!
"Fellow Taoist, please help, this woman is possessed by a ghost!"
The gray-robed monk ran to Chen Lin and shouted anxiously.
After exploring this level for nearly a day, Chen Lin finally encountered a monk. Instead of escaping, Chen Lin used his soul-killing finger to point at the possessed woman.
Unexpectedly, he failed to kill him this time. The other party just paused and looked at him with a pair of dark eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared between the opponent's eyebrows, and a ray of light shot out, heading straight for him!
Chen Lin was shocked. With a thought, a red lotus made of flames appeared out of thin air and blocked the light.
A scene that surprised him even more appeared. Honglian was hit by the dim light, and instantly turned into a dark color, exuding an evil aura, and the connection with him began to weaken.
Such a strange scene made Chen Lin look ugly, and he did not dare to neglect. He immediately inspired the Buddha's power to move towards the red lotus. With the blessing of the Buddha's power, the red lotus began to rotate slowly, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds appeared. Finally, the black energy subsided and recovered.
to its original appearance.
"go!"
Seeing this, Chen Lin shouted coldly, and Honglian shot at the woman.
At the same time, he used his Soul-Destroying Finger again to freeze the woman, causing her to lose the chance to dodge and be instantly swallowed up by the red lotus.
A shrill scream was heard, and the whole person turned into ashes.
Chen Lin waved his hand to take in the opponent's storage bag and flying sword, and then looked at the gray-robed monk.
But before he could speak, he saw that the other party suddenly became angry. He backed away and pointed at him and shouted: "How dare you kill Princess Hanhua!"
Chen Lin was stunned by the other party's change. He had saved the other party's life. Instead of being grateful, he actually criticized him. What kind of operation was this? Aren't you afraid that he would take action in anger?
But before he could react, he felt an extremely powerful aura rising into the sky from a distance, and it came to him in an instant.
The gray-robed monk burst out with powerful mana fluctuations and fled quickly into the distance, leaving behind the weak state just now!
Chen Lin's face changed drastically, and he knew what the gray robe meant.
The possessed woman had an unusual identity, and she also had a companion with extraordinary cultivation. The other party did not dare to kill her directly, so she came to divert the trouble to him.
And he became the scapegoat!
Chen Lin was so depressed that he secretly complained that none of the monks were good, and they would be attacked if they were not careful. However, he did not have time to settle accounts with the other party, so he disappeared from the place with a flash of lightning.
Then he rushed forward for a while and followed a hole to enter the fourth floor!
Judging from the aura erupting from the opponent, he is at least in the late stage of the Golden Elixir, or even at the Perfection of the Golden Elixir, so he is definitely no match.
Although the third-level area is large, it is nothing to the Golden elixir monk, and the ghosts there cannot affect the opponent. He will definitely not be able to escape the opponent's pursuit there.
If he returns to the upper level, the areas of the second and first levels are smaller, so he can only go to the fourth level.
The ghost monsters here are more powerful. Any one of them is at the foundation-building perfection level, and there are quite a few at the golden elixir stage, including those at the golden elixir great perfection level.
In such an environment, the other party may not dare to come down. Even if he comes down, the area on this level is equivalent to a small country, and it will not be easy for the other party to find him.
And as long as he is careful and relies on the Soul-Destroying Finger and Thunder Escape Technique, as well as the Burning Lotus True Fire Magical Power, and does not actively provoke those powerful guys, there should be no problem.
Moreover, these four levels of space were originally within his exploration range.
Legend has it that the Ji family members are extremely talented and very powerful. If they lived in seclusion underground in Ten Thousand Souls Ridge, they would most likely be on this level.
The geology here is special, so earth escape techniques cannot be used. The light of other escape techniques is too dazzling, so after Chen Lin came down from the cave entrance, he took a photo of himself with an invisibility charm, activated the breath gathering technique to the extreme, and controlled the flying spell to break through the air.
And go.
As he expected, Princess Hanhua's companion did not chase him down. Perhaps he did come down but could not find him. He had been exploring this level for several days without seeing his shadow.
Even so, Chen Lin's condition was not very good. He was continuously chased by golden elixir-level ghost monsters and narrowly escaped death several times.
However, under the training of such an environment, the soul-destroying finger secret technique has progressed rapidly, as if it has broken through a certain level and reached another realm.
At this time, the ghosts in the foundation-building stage are completely out of the question, and those in the early stage of the golden elixir can also be killed, but they are still worse in the middle and later stages.
As for those at the Golden Elixir Dzogchen level, they still have to run away.
Chen Lin couldn't help but secretly wonder at this. He didn't know where the Silver Fairy learned this secret technique. The restraint against ghost monsters has reached the level of natural enemies, but the effect on living people is not so exaggerated.
"Gah!"
While he was thinking about it, a strange scream suddenly sounded in Chen Lin's ears, and then he fell to the ground.
