Chapter 196: Chapter 148: Undying Bone, Slaying a Half-Step Manifested Saint!
Deep within You Province.
The light was dim, and a chilling wind swept through.
There were faint sounds of ghostly wails and howls of wolves.
Hundreds of mountain ranges twisted and turned like dragon spines, surrounding a central peak.
And atop that majestic peak.
Layers of arrays circled around, and grand pavilions rose up from the ground.
The intricate carvings and jade palaces displayed the grandeur of a Great Teaching.
But in Lu Yuan’s eyes.
This place was eerie and perilous, filled with hidden threats.
It was a land designed for nurturing corpses, crafted according to the mountain terrain!
"The Corpse Immortal Sect has gone all out, somehow extracting wisps of Dragon Vein Qi."
Lu Yuan stood on a distant mountain peak, carefully observing the towering mountain range.
While traveling, he had encountered many disciples from the Corpse Immortal Sect.
After some friendly exchanges, Lu Yuan gathered a lot of useful information from them.
According to an Inner Sect Elder of the Corpse Immortal Sect.
The Profound Yin Ghost Mother was a sentient Immortal Corpse that had lived a second life, with origins shrouded in a mysterious past, possibly from Ancient Times.
Her methods were heaven-reaching, using supreme magical power to move hundreds of mountains from various places, spending thousands of years setting up this Feng Shui Grand Array.
The array’s uses were endless, not only stealing the Great Spirit Country’s fortune but also continuously drawing power from You Province’s earth veins to maintain the array’s operation.
Under the protection of this Feng Shui Grand Array, even an Eighth Grade Manifested Saint Strong Person might not easily breach the Corpse Immortal Sect’s mountain gate!
However, with the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven battlefield heated up, the Corpse Immortal Sect’s strong persons had all been deployed, and even many weaker Outer Disciples received orders to urgently return from across You Province.
And this gave Lu Yuan an opportunity to exploit...
Lu Yuan carefully recalled every detail obtained from the Soul Search, ensuring there were no loose ends.
Only then did he activate the Thousand-Faced Faceless, his features twisted and changed, becoming a short elder.
Subsequently, Lu Yuan summoned a Sixth-Grade Flying Corpse, and following the information he acquired, effortlessly found the mountain gate’s location.
Just as he approached the mountain gate, an invisible barrier manifested in the void, blocking his path.
At the same time, a faint sense of threat emerged from his heart.
Instinctively, Lu Yuan knew.
The Feng Shui Grand Array’s power was terrifying, and if he forced his way in, he would face catastrophic destruction in an instant!
Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he immediately retrieved an Identity Token from his Space Ring.
Each Corpse Immortal Sect disciple’s token was crafted using their unique Divine Thought; it was one of a kind, impossible to counterfeit.
Yet the Thousand-Faced Faceless is an Ancient Treasure, capable of mimicking other martial cultivators’ forms and appearances, even perfectly replicating their aura and True Essence.
With the disguise of the Thousand-Faced Faceless.
Lu Yuan smoothly passed through the Feng Shui Grand Array, easily stepping into the Corpse Immortal Sect’s mountain gate.
Merely upon entering, a thick stench of corpses assaulted him, making him almost nauseated!
Lu Yuan’s face turned grim.
Indeed, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
This group from the Corpse Immortal Sect, dealing with corpses all day, were far more disgusting than bugs!
Lu Yuan suppressed his urge to vomit and looked up at the peak of the mountain.
He saw rows of palaces and pavilions, with many Corpse Immortal Sect disciples busy driving Walking Corpses and transporting various materials.
Atop the mountain, lights flashed as numerous Walking Corpses and materials were transmitted to the battlefield.
Activating a Teleportation Array each time required massive resources.
But for the deeply wealthy Corpse Immortal Sect, it was nothing but a drop in the ocean.
"The urgent task is to close the Teleportation Array to prevent Corpse Immortal Sect strong persons from suddenly returning to the sect."
Lu Yuan quickly set his plan.
Just at this moment.
A withered, black-robed elder, ghost-like, sprinted towards Lu Yuan from below the mountain.
"Elder Xu Hong, you’ve finally returned. Several Supreme Elders have decided to personally head to the Qingzhou battlefield, ordering you and other Outer Sect Elders to defend our sect’s mountain gate."
"Take me to the Sect Hall."
Lu Yuan nodded, already aware of this matter.
The Corpse Immortal Sect may have been bloodthirsty, but they were not fools.
To prevent leaving themselves vulnerable to attack.
The Profound Yin Ghost Mother, while mobilizing a large number of strong persons to attack the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, also urgently recalled many elders stationed in various places.
Soon after.
Under the guidance of the black-robed elder, Lu Yuan quickly arrived at the Sect Hall.
Here, five Seventh-Grade Profound Pill Strong Persons and over thirty Sixth Grade Divine Sea Martial Cultivators had gathered.
No exaggeration needed.
This group alone could easily sweep through one province’s land.
Moreover, according to Lu Yuan’s continuous indirect probing and his own observations.
Apart from these elders.
The Corpse Immortal Sect also had two Half-Step Manifested Saint Strong Persons stationed to guard the array’s core, ensuring the sect’s absolute safety.
With their strength, coupled with the impenetrable Feng Shui Grand Array, even an Eighth Grade Manifested Saint Strong Person might not be able to breach the Corpse Immortal Sect’s mountain gate.
Not to mention the Corpse Immortal Sect had stood tall for thousands of years, closely allied with alien demons.
Aside from the Demon Suppression Bureau, who would dare challenge the Corpse Immortal Sect?
Yet, unfortunately.
They vastly underestimated Lu Yuan’s capabilities and madness!
In the Sect Hall, a Profound Pill Elder directly assigned detailed tasks to everyone.
Once everyone received their orders and dispersed.
Lu Yuan followed two relatively weaker Profound Pill Strong Persons, and after another friendly conversation, finally discovered the location of the array’s core.
