Chapter 730: Chapter 350: Tremors Across the Realm, Eerie Children’s Voices

Earlier, Wen Jiu attempted to divine Lin Yingyun Mountain, but it was obscured by powerful celestial secrets.

Thus, he could not discern its current state.

Now that he senses Lin Yingyun Mountain’s presence again, Wen Jiu can be certain that Lin Yingyun Mountain has already abandoned its physical body.

In the realm of magic, there are secret techniques like Divine Soul Separation; however, no one dares to use such techniques lightly, as there are many cultivators skilled in Divine Soul Techniques within the West Mountain Floating Domain, especially Golden Core Cultivators, so an unguarded soul could easily become a target.

Golden Core Cultivators are particularly cautious about Divine Soul Separation techniques, and an Elder Cultivator like Lin Yingyun Mountain is no exception.

"Abandon the physical body?"

It felt somewhat familiar to Wen Jiu.

Ah, yes.

Once, the Three Karmic Demon seemed to have abandoned its physical body as well, merging with the True Spirit Demon Tree in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Wen Jiu didn’t know what purpose the merging served, but he remembered the arrogance of the Three Karmic Demon before encountering the Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi, even claiming that as long as the True Spirit Demon Tree remained, its divine soul would not perish.

"Could it be that Lin Yingyun Mountain made the same choice as the Three Karmic Demon?" Wen Jiu thought it was very likely, considering that even the Three Karmic Demon was willing, how could a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator like Lin Yingyun Mountain be any different?

Of course.

This was just a conjecture.

After all, he had merely glimpsed a fraction of the Dark Altar Lineage.

However, the powerful ability that when the True Spirit Demon Tree exists, the divine soul remains immortal and undying, might be the reason Lin Yingyun Mountain dared to split its soul and explore Pingyue Lake. Besides that, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.

"No matter what it plans to do, or if it’s merely observing the result of this battle, it’s none of my business," Wen Jiu disregarded Lin Yingyun Mountain, figuring that capturing its soul would be meaningless anyway.

After Lin Yingyun Mountain discovered East Spring Undying Bone’s divine sense probing, it immediately retreated without hesitation.

Once Lin Yingyun Mountain left, Wen Jiu finished refining the Array Disc.

After capturing the Calamity Thunder Heaven-Trapping Yin Array, Wen Jiu began examining Longteng Liyi’s storage bag. Unfortunately, Longteng Liyi was a righteous cultivator. Items like the Soul Suppressing Stele and Calamity Thunder Heaven-Trapping Yin Array were few in number.

The majority of items were valuable, but currently of little use to him and would need to be exchanged for Spirit Stones to be truly of value.

Fortunately, like with the spoils from the Master of Many Evils, it was easy to sell openly, so exchanging them for Spirit Stones at East Pole Immortal City would require no trip to Donghua Immortal City.

In summary, the greatest gain for Wen Jiu might just be the Calamity Thunder Heaven-Trapping Yin Array.

The Soul Suppressing Stele was somewhat less useful, inferior to the Soul Capturing Technique, and couldn’t be used to mask the divine power when employing the Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture.

Nowadays, it’s not like before, where the existence of divine power went unnoticed. Current late-stage Golden Core cultivators, most have encountered acquired divine techniques, though perhaps not having succeeded in cultivating them, have certainly seen others use them, making disguising the Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture virtually impossible.

So the Soul Suppressing Stele could only be sold.

But with the recent gains from the Brute Puppet Sect and Longteng Family, he wouldn’t be lacking Corpse Nourishing Resources for quite some time. If Demonic Evil Qi could be bought at will, he had the means. As for essence blood and the like, the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s identity had been exposed, allowing for uninhibited acquisition.

The production of Blood Corpse Mushroom would reach a formidable increase, rapidly boosting the Three Thousand Blood Inks, Blood Demon Undying Bone, and Formless Demon Corpse. As for the Five Ghosts, further upgrades could be made to the Ghost-faced Butcher, elevating it to Tier Three Top Grade, complemented by market-available Ghost Cultivation items, the enhancement would not be slow.

"Satisfying."

Wen Jiu smiled knowingly.

So this is what "financial freedom" feels like.

Very refreshing.

...

East Pole Immortal City.

Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Deng Lai rushed madly into the City Lord’s Mansion, attracting curious glances from the onlooking cultivators within.

What could have transpired to make the City Lord act so insanely?

In no time, Deng Lai arrived at the mansion’s rear courtyard, hurriedly entering, forcing Nangong Huan to abruptly halt the creation of a Tier Three Talisman, rendering a costly Tier Three Middle-Grade Talisman Paper useless.

"You better have a monumental reason!"

Nangong Huan stepped out, cold eyes fixed on Deng Lai.

Deng Lai, unable to afford an apology, hurriedly said, "Lord, monumental news, Longteng Wuxing of the Longteng Family was ambushed by Longteng Qianyue, and both perished together. The Longteng Family lost two Golden Core middle stages in just one day."

"Longteng Qianyue?"

Nangong Huan was somewhat baffled.

Why would this happen?

"Lord, that’s not the main point. The main point is, the Longteng Family is in complete chaos because right after they spread the news of Longteng Liyi’s arrival at Pingyue Lake, Longteng Liyi’s Life Soul Lamp extinguished!"

"What!"

Nangong Huan exclaimed in shock.

Longteng Liyi had made full preparations, even forcing him not to interfere, yet now it was Longteng Liyi’s Life Soul Lamp that extinguished?

Why is this?

Why is this!

"The Western Xishan Floating Domain... is about to undergo a great change!" Nangong Huan gazed toward the direction of the Lu Clan Territory.

In the next moment.

Nangong Huan turned into a Startled Swan, flying straight to the Lu Family.

...

Crescent Lake.

Li Family.

Once the Third Elder of Qi Guang Sect, now the Li Family Patriarch, Li Qingyan was sipping tea with Qi Guang Sect’s Fourth Elder, Lanshan Yue.

Li Qingyan was in a great mood today, even taking out Cyan Dragon Saliva that had been aged for three thousand years.

Lanshan Yue sipped it, her divine soul rejoicing with delight, and after a moment, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist Li, I’ve always wanted to taste your Cyan Dragon Saliva, but you always kept it as a treasure, unwilling to let anyone taste it, even the ancestor wasn’t an exception. But today, thanks to the Longteng Family, I finally get to enjoy a taste."
