Chapter 639: Visiting the branch of the Valley of the Beasts
After Wang Daoyuan peered into the memory of Devouring Spirits, he put away the rootless fire in his eyes, got up and walked to the backyard.
Zhou Luan has finished practicing and is eating spiritual fruit on the recliner.
Wang Daoyuan took out fifty kilograms of soul-chasing bee honey, as well as some spiritual fruits and spiritual wine.
Zhou Luan was stunned and asked: "Are you going on a long journey again? With your cultivation, it won't take you long to go anywhere, so how can you prepare so many things for me?"
Wang Daoyuan replied: "It's a long story, but the place I went to is not far away, just over 30,000 miles.
You can contact us with the messenger jade talisman, but it is more time-consuming."
"It's a long story, so I'll tell you slowly. You are suddenly so serious. This matter is definitely not simple.
If your life is in danger, I will go with you."
Wang Daoyuan could only explain slowly: "This matter is related to the real person Wan Zhi. Based on the information of Xueying, you should know the situation of Zhen Wan Zhi, right?"
Zhou Luan nodded: "I know, a golden elixir master appeared out of thin air in the north of the mountain thousands of years ago.
He created his own formation of ten thousand corpses, and could even defeat ten monks of the same level.
Even the sect masters of the four top forces are no match for him.
This man killed innocent people indiscriminately, and was eventually severely wounded by the four top forces, together with masters from several surrounding countries.
Later, there was no trace of this person."
"That's probably it. This guy escaped to a secret place after being seriously injured.
More than two hundred years ago, your spirit wolf and a guy from Qi Yun went to explore that secret realm and obtained the inheritance of the Wan Zhi Zhenren.
I obtained the inheritance of Master Wan Zhi from them, and learned that this person was not from the Beiyuan Immortal Cultivation World, but from the Seven Star Sea Cultivation World.
The method used by the Ten Thousand Corpses Master to control corpses is the inheritance of the strongest force in the Immortal Cultivation World of the Seven Star Sea."
Zhou Luan interrupted: "Your method of controlling puppets seems to be quite clever, does it come from here?"
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "The hall master is really smart. My method of controlling puppets is the same as Master Wan Zhi's method of controlling corpses.
It's just that this inheritance is seriously incomplete, controlling living people is very risky, and there is a limit on the number, so only Wan Zhi Zhenren takes the path of controlling corpses.
When he came to Beiyuan to cultivate immortality, he ran into a sea of mirage.
From the east of the Tianzhan Mountain Range to the north of the mountain, the route is not the Wanchuan River Valley.
I sent a puppet to explore that road.
I found that there was a wide river valley over there, and there was also a branch hall left over from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
This branch hall was not completely destroyed, and the formation still existed.
I sent Devouring Souls to investigate and found some fourth-level magic weapons and materials. They should be the transformation of previous fourth-level and above magic weapons that lacked spiritual power.
In that branch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, the formations were not completely destroyed. The spirit-devouring formations were incomprehensible and they did not dare to go deep into it rashly.
I just want to check it out first and see if I can find a fifth-level spiritual object."
Zhou Luan frowned: "The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts was one of the five top forces back then, so its division must not be simple.
If you go exploring there, your life will inevitably be in danger, so I want to go with you."
Wang Daoyuan quickly persuaded: "Lord, don't worry, that branch hall was once besieged by monsters, and the formation was seriously damaged.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the power of the fourth-level high-grade formation has been exhausted.
I'm not a fool, so I won't hit my head on it.
Since the Devouring Spirit is here, he will naturally take the lead. All I need to do is look for flaws in the formation.
Don't worry, I have many means and won't be trapped.
If we are really trapped, I will release the Guichen Flame and burn the entire mountain to ashes. No matter what formation he uses, it will be in vain.
You don't know the way of formation, so you won't be able to help me if you go.
When I leave, help me keep an eye on Yuquan Peak."
The effect of Gui Chenyan against a complete defensive formation is not very obvious.
However, the formation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley branch had been severely damaged and had not been maintained for tens of thousands of years, so there were definitely flaws.
A formation with loopholes cannot stop the erosion of the Guichen Flame.
Zhou Luan then nodded with confidence: "I don't have to go with you, but you have to tell me the route.
If you don't come back in ten years, I will go find you."
Wang Daoyuan had no choice but to agree, took out a jade slip, recorded the route, and handed it to Zhou Luan.
Afterwards, he left the underground cave and sent a spiritual message to his third brother, telling him that he was leaving the family for a while.
If someone comes to see you, just say that you are in retreat.
Put on the black devil's robe, cast the Hidden Demon Technique, and head towards the sky to cut the mountains.
Soon they arrived at the place where Devouring Soul was hiding, and Devouring Soul handed him all the Qiankun Rings he had obtained.
Wang Daoyuan checked one by one and found that this Qiankun Ring was much stronger than Zhenjun Bailing's Bailing Ring in terms of materials and refining techniques.
It was at least a sixth-level magic weapon back then, but it's a pity that only the fourth-level top-grade weapon is left.
He took out a broken shield from the ring. He didn't even recognize the material of the shield.
In terms of strength, it is far above the fourth-level middle-grade Taiyi fine gold.
He took out several more magical weapons, all of which were made of materials he didn't recognize and whose patterns were also extremely complicated.
With his current strength, he simply cannot refine such a magical weapon.
Put all these things into the spirit bead space and follow the Devouring Spirit to the underground cave.
More than two hours later, we arrived at the foot of the main mountain range of Tianzhan Mountain Range.
Wang Daoyuan used Flying Sand Escape and entered the underground cave.
Devouring Soul's small magical power involves the laws of space. Unless the rock formations are all monolithic, there is no way to stop him.
With the memory of Devouring Souls still around, it wouldn't be too difficult to walk far away from this cave.
It only took half a month to reach the cave exit.
It was mid-morning at this time, and the clouds and fog were relatively thin.
Wang Daoyuan's spiritual consciousness can detect situations more than ten miles away.
The two flew downstream along the stream, and soon reached the upper reaches of the main stream of Zijin River.
Wang Daoyuan flew high into the sky and looked into the distance. Wherever he looked, there was fog.
However, one can still barely see the Zijin River flowing eastward like a long dragon below, as well as the mountains on both sides of the river valley that penetrate into the Jiutiangang Wind Layer.
The valley becomes wider as you go east, and the valley is dominated by plains, which is indeed a good place to establish a foundation.
After checking, Wang Daoyuan and his clone Spirit Devourer headed northeast.
More than an hour later, we arrived at the Zijinchuan Branch Church.
Entering the stone archway, Wang Daoyuan did not dare to fly into the sky easily, so he went up along the winding stone road in the mountains.
After walking for twenty or thirty miles, we entered the palace complex.
The clone Zheng Ping is guarding here. He is now just a spiritual corpse refiner, and has no use other than exploring the way.
Wang Daoyuan unfolded his consciousness to explore the surrounding situation.
The layout of this palace complex is relatively common, and the core area is somewhat similar to the courtyard house in the previous life.
However, these palace complexes have seven courtyards.
There are many smaller palaces around the courtyard.
But there is no formation protection, and most of them have become ruins.
Every time he entered the courtyard, there were scattered bones and rusty fragments of magical instruments.
These may have been fifth- or sixth-level monsters, Nascent Souls, or even god-transformation monks during their lifetimes.
Wang Daoyuan encountered some white bones, which instantly turned into ashes.
The fragments of the magic weapon were also shattered.
Fifty thousand years is enough time to shatter everything. No matter how glorious you were during your lifetime, it will be like this now.
Some of the palaces around the courtyard are protected by formations.
Wang Daoyuan did not stop at these places. These palaces had been explored by Soul Eater before.
These palaces themselves don't have many good things.
The ones that were still well preserved have been taken away by the Devouring Spirits.
At this moment, those things are in the spirit bead space.
Following the memory of Devouring Souls, Wang Daoyuan walked towards the deepest part of the palace complex.
The further you go, the more palaces there are still protected by incomplete formations.
Soon, we arrived at the seventh entrance to the courtyard.
The formation here looks very complete, and the aura emitted by the formation is also extremely powerful.
Among the formations Wang Daoyuan has seen, it is second only to the mountain-protecting formation of Baoding Mountain.
Previously, Ghost Devourer had only explored the first six courtyards and did not dare to directly enter the seventh courtyard.
