Chapter 2416 Fairy Qiulin, Jade Bone Daoist
Wow!
A terrifying aura emanated continuously from the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
Twenty-six Five-Nine Immortal Patterns emerged one by one from the surface of the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
A celestial artifact with twenty-five lines of five-nine immortal patterns is a low-grade holy celestial artifact.
A celestial artifact with twenty-six layers of five-nine immortal patterns is already a core celestial artifact.
Chen Xuan never expected that after Chen Peng incorporated the Purple Gold Immortal Ore into the Dragon-Seeking Sword, the sword's quality would be upgraded from a low-grade Saint-level Immortal Artifact to a mid-grade Saint-level Immortal Artifact.
For a natal immortal artifact, this change is nothing short of a complete transformation.
"Haha, Chen Peng, you're pretty good."
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Peng with extreme excitement.
With the increased power of the Dragon-Seeking Sword, its role in battle will become even more significant.
Previously, when Chen Xuan activated the Dragon-Seeking Sword, a low-grade sacred-quality immortal artifact, and unleashed the Greatsword Technique, he was able to kill even a mid-stage Golden Immortal.
With the improved quality of the Dragon-Seeking Sword this time, Chen Xuan estimated that if he activated the Dragon-Seeking Sword to unleash the Greatsword Technique, he might not be without the power to fight against a late-stage Golden Immortal.
"Master, this is all thanks to the exceptional quality of your Dragon-Seeking Sword. Moreover, it possesses a high level of spiritual energy. Otherwise, even if I had incorporated my Purple Gold Immortal Ore into the Dragon-Seeking Sword, its quality wouldn't have reached this level!" Chen Peng said with a smile.
"Haha, no matter what, you've done a great service again this time," Chen Xuan laughed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xuan manipulated the Dragon-Seeking Sword to swiftly slash into the void.
Boom!
The moment the terrifying attack power of the Dragon-Seeking Sword erupted, the entire void was instantly sliced apart.
Upon seeing this, Chen Peng's pupils constricted sharply.
"Master, the power of this sword strike is enough to instantly kill a mid-stage Golden Immortal. It seems that the power of the Dragon-Seeking Sword has indeed increased significantly compared to before!"
"That's great news! You've worked so hard these past few days, get some rest!"
Chen Xuan smiled happily and disappeared quickly with the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
After Chen Xuan returned to the Cold Pool, he quickly began to familiarize himself with the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally put the Dragon-Seeking Sword away after Chen Xuan had mastered its control.
"I have been in seclusion in the Immortal Beast Tower for so long this time, I'm sure Fairy Miyu is getting impatient."
"In that case, I should hurry up and get out of seclusion."
"This seclusion not only enhanced the power of the Dragon-Seeking Sword, but also completely restored Chen Peng's memories, allowing his cultivation to reach the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. Furthermore, it even enabled Chen Xie to successfully advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm!"
"Haha, with Chen Peng, Chen Xie, and Chen Li, these three powerful mid-stage Golden Immortal demon beasts protecting me, I can even fight against late-stage Golden Immortal experts."
Chen Xuan smiled happily.
Soon, with a thought, he vanished from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already in the cave it had created.
After putting away the demonic beasts guarding the cave, Chen Xuan quickly put away the Nebula Array as well.
A moment later, Fairy Miyu, who had noticed Chen Xuan's emergence from seclusion, also came out at that moment.
The moment she saw Chen Xuan, a hint of surprise appeared in Fairy Miyu's beautiful eyes.
"Brother Chen, your cultivation has improved rapidly despite your short seclusion. Could it be that the immortal wine infused with those Wine Immortal Spirit Pearls is quite potent?"
Fairy Miyu asked with a smile.
"Hehe, Fairy, I did indeed have some fortuitous encounters during my seclusion this time. However, Fairy's cultivation has also improved quite a bit."
"Hehe, compared to Brother Chen, my improvement in cultivation is nothing at all."
"Haha, let's not flatter each other here. Although we're not far from the exit of Ten Thousand Souls Gorge, we can't stay here any longer. We'd better hurry up and leave!"
"Ok!"
Fairy Miyu agreed and flew away with Chen Xuan.
However, not long after the two left the valley where they had settled, Chen Xuan's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
This made Fairy Miyu look curious.
"Brother Chen, what have you discovered?"
“Fairy, haven’t you noticed that the number of souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge has decreased significantly recently? Although many souls were hunted down here because of our last visit, the number of souls here has not only not increased but has actually decreased over such a long period of time. This is very abnormal.”
"Brother Chen, now that you mention it, I also suddenly feel that the number of wandering souls nearby is somewhat abnormal. Could it be that among the wandering souls nearby, some powerful ones have formed an army of the dead?"
"I don't know the details either. However, something must have happened in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge. We'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"Yes, it's all up to Brother Chen to decide!"
Fairy Miyu nodded and, together with Chen Xuan, quickened their pace.
Along the way, the number of dead souls in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls was pitifully small.
Furthermore, the number of dead souls they encountered, as well as the level of those souls, was significantly lower than before.
The two did not encounter any danger despite traveling at high speed.
Just as the two were about to leave the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge, Chen Xuan suddenly noticed something, and his expression changed slightly.
Soon, he activated both his divine sense and the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye.
Wow!
Everything within a radius of three hundred miles was completely visible to Chen Xuan.
Before long, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Xuan's face.
"Is there... still a fight going on nearby?"
“Brother Chen, are you sure you’re not mistaken? This Ten Thousand Souls Gorge is home to many brothers in the area. No one would come here for no reason. Moreover, we haven’t encountered many powerful undead along the way. For someone to suddenly be fighting here is truly unusual.”
"The fairy is right. In that case, we'd better hurry up and leave!"
"Ok!"
Fairy Miyu nodded and, together with Chen Xuan, shot off again toward the exit of the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge.
……
Wanhun Gorge is a valley not far from the exit.
Countless hordes of undead are frantically besieging two mid-stage Golden Immortal powerhouses.
A female cultivator in a yellow dress and an elderly man with an air of Taoist immortality.
The old man held a whisk in his hand. With a casual flick of the whisk, terrifying immortal light suddenly burst forth from it and fell into the army of ferocious and malevolent ghosts.
Many of the souls that had besieged him were killed on the spot.
The female cultivator in the yellow dress, however, was holding a dry branch.
As the branch touched the air, a burst of rolling green light erupted from it and fell into the army of the dead.
Any soul enveloped in the green glow of the sunset will soon have its energy drained.
As the aura around the body rapidly declines, even the life force within the body will vanish completely in an instant.
However, there were simply too many dead souls surrounding them.
Even with their frantic efforts, the two could not stop the onslaught of the undead army.
This made their expressions grow increasingly unpleasant.
“Fairy Qiulin, there are far too many souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge. It will probably not be easy for the two of us to enter the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge.”
"Alas, this mission is likely to fail."
The old man, with his Taoist-like and otherworldly air, said with a wry smile.
Fairy Qiulin frowned slightly.
Soon, she also said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist Yu Gu, you and I are both under orders from our sect to monitor the changes in the souls of the dead in the Dry Bone Mountain."
"But right now, we haven't figured out what exactly happened in the Bone Mountain. If we retreat now, how will we explain it to the sect when we get back?"
"Fellow Daoist should know that the two inner sect elders who were responsible for monitoring the changes in the Bone Mountain last time were reprimanded by the sect's patriarch for failing to report the changes in the souls in the Bone Mountain in a timely manner. They were also demoted to the lowest-ranking outer sect elders. Their lives are over."
"Does fellow Daoist also want to go back and be personally reprimanded by the Ancestor?"
Fairy Qiulin's words made Jade Bone Daoist's face turn extremely ugly.
Normally, he would not be afraid.
But now, the souls in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls have become extremely violent and numerous.
The two of them alone were no match for this army of dead souls.
If we don't hurry up and leave now, we might not have time to leave at all.
However, the two of them had no way of figuring out what exactly had happened in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge that made the souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge, and even the Dead Bone Mountain, so irritable and restless.
Even now, though they have survived and returned safely to their sect, they probably still won't be able to explain themselves.
"Oh dear. What should I do?"
Jade Bone Taoist smiled bitterly.
At that moment, it is unknown what the Jade Bone Daoist discovered, but he immediately became overjoyed.
“Fairy Qiulin, it seems two fellow Daoists have emerged from the direction of Ten Thousand Souls Gorge. I believe they are well aware of the events that occurred in Ten Thousand Souls Gorge. Why don't we go find them and meet up, then inquire further?”
Upon hearing this, Fairy Qiulin instantly realized that what Daoist Yugu said made perfect sense.
Even if they continue to fight desperately here, they will not be able to figure out what happened deep in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge.
Only by figuring out the situation here as soon as possible can we go back and report.
As for the events that occurred in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge afterward, they had nothing to do with them.
“Alright. Let’s hurry and escape from here first!” Fairy Qiulin said.
"it is good!"
Jade Bone Taoist agreed, and continued to flick the whisk in his hand.
A large number of souls were directly blasted away by his whisk.
Soon, a passage appeared directly from the army of the dead and led straight to the outside of the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge.
Upon seeing this, Jade Bone Daoist and Fairy Qiulin swiftly shot towards the outside of Ten Thousand Souls Gorge.
Little did they know, the army of vengeful spirits besieging them did not stop.
Instead, they followed them and rushed towards the outside of Wanhun Gorge.
This caused Chen Xuan, who was traveling with Fairy Miyu towards the outside of Wanhun Gorge, to frown slightly.
"Is this a case of the disaster shifting eastward?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
Soon, the Thunder Wings on his back were unleashed.
Boom!
A thunderous roar followed.
Chen Xuan and Fairy Miyu vanished from the spot in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared several miles away.
Its speed was much faster than that of Jade Bone Daoist and Autumn Forest Fairy when they were moving at full speed.
Before long, they had left the two far behind.
This made Fairy Qiulin and Taoist Yugu, who were being chased by the vengeful spirits, curse inwardly.
"Fairy, those two guys ahead seem to have spotted us and have sped up. It seems they are definitely no ordinary people."
"That's right, they're even faster than us. It seems they know about what happened in Ten Thousand Souls Gorge. In that case, let's speed up!"
As they spoke, Fairy Qiulin and Daoist Yugu each took out a talisman and quickly affixed it to their bodies.
The moment the immortal power was injected into the talisman, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from it.
call!
With a whoosh of wind, the two of them vanished from their spot at the same time.
When they reappeared, they were already more than ten miles away.
Its speed was much faster than the Thunder Feather Wings that Chen Xuan activated.
This caused Chen Xuan, who was fleeing with Fairy Miyu at breakneck speed, to change his expression slightly.
"Huh? Their speed increased so much in an instant? It seems these two really don't have good intentions!"
"In that case, let's find a place to have a good talk with them after we leave the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge!"
Chen Xuan sneered, and the speed of the Thunder Feather Wings increased significantly in an instant.
A thunderous roar followed.
Chen Xuan and Fairy Mi Yu vanished swiftly into the sky.
