Chapter 1629 Blood River

Xiao Lin nodded, and at the same time was a little surprised. The ghost trees in the Guifeng Mountains could actually form their own formations, thus evolving into many killing formations and illusion formations. This alone was enough to make this place a forbidden area.

The two of them always kept a distance of several feet apart while flying in the mountains and forests. Due to the limitation of the Ghost Qi Pill, Xiao Lin could only use about 20% of his escape technique, so their speed was not fast.

"There is a Ghost Heaven Scripture in the Ghost Cave Heaven. Could it be that only Ghost Old Man and Feng Huang know about it?" On the way, Xiao Lin asked the doubts in his heart.

Xia Mo shook her head and said with a mysterious smile, "In fact, some top-level cultivators in the Guifeng Mountains also know about this. After all, Fenghuang's ghost arts and magical powers cannot come out of thin air. After so many years, they must have found many clues. But knowing it is one thing, but it is very difficult to get the Ghost Heaven Scripture from it."

After a pause, Xia Mo continued, "The key is that this Ghost Cave Heaven only opens once every thousand years. Every time it opens in the past, it will attract many Ghost Dao cultivators to enter, wanting to try their luck. Unfortunately, they don't know the horror of the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast]. Almost every time the Ghost Cave Heaven opens, only a few can successfully come out. After hundreds of thousands of years, fewer and fewer people will enter it. After all, only a few have been able to come out of the Ghost Cave Heaven alive over the years. As for those who have glimpsed the immortal text on the Netherworld Wall, there is no one. Therefore, the number of Ghost Dao cultivators who come to the Ghost Cave Heaven, which opens once every thousand years, is also extremely small. Usually, only those Ghost Dao cultivators who are desperate or whose realm is stagnant and whose lifespan is approaching will choose to go in and try their luck."

Xiao Lin understood as soon as he heard it. No matter whether it was Ghost Old Man or Feng Huang, after they cultivated the magical powers in the Ghost Heaven Sutra, they did not publicize it. The later generations were even less aware of the horror of the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast], which led to waves of ghost cultivators losing their lives in the Ghost Cave Heaven.

If Gui Lao was not about to ascend to heaven, he might not have told Xia Mo this secret.

Within ten days, the two flew for an unknown number of miles, but the figures of some ghost monks gradually appeared around them.

However, these ghost cultivators were only concerned with flying forward and did not seem to be interested in their fellow cultivators who appeared around them.

What Xiao Lin could feel was that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower. It seemed that the temperature had already dropped below freezing point, but there was no sign of ice on the surrounding rocks or ghost trees.

Xia Mo suddenly stopped in front of a stone forest.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin also showed a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xiao, let's wait again. The Ghost Cave Heaven should be opened in the next few days. And according to the map, the Ghost Cave Heaven is not far from here. When it opens, strange phenomena will occur."

"I see. Then let's meditate in this stone forest." Xiao Lin nodded and landed first. The two of them sat cross-legged in front of a stone forest and began to meditate with their eyes closed.

A few days later, as two powerful forces descended from the sky, Xiao Lin and Xia Mo opened their eyes at the same time, and what they saw were two men in black robes.

The ghost cultivators in the Guifeng Mountains are basically all dressed the same, with black robes covering their entire bodies, so their appearance cannot be seen at all, and it is even impossible to tell whether they are male or female.

At this time, one of the slim black-robed men spoke in a soft female voice, "My two fellow Taoists, do you want to go to the Ghost Cave Heaven Secret Realm?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? What advice do you two have?" Xia Mo responded coldly without waiting for Xiao Lin to speak.

"My two fellow Taoists, please don't misunderstand me. If it's not the case, then we two will leave. If it is, we want to invite you to join us. After all, Ghost Cave Heaven is full of dangers. It is very difficult to come back alive from it. If we unite and advance and retreat together, then the chances of success will naturally be much greater."

"I'm sorry, we two are not used to teaming up with others. Could you two please go ahead?" Xia Mo did not give the ghost cultivator any face at all and refused directly.

The two men were turned down in front of Xia Mo, but they seemed to sense that the two people in front of them were not easy to mess with. Although it was a little awkward, they calmed down and did not take any action. After nodding, they turned into two gray lights and disappeared without a trace.

"These two are from the Demonic Prison Sect." Xia Mo spoke after the two men left.

"A member of the Demon Prison Sect?" Xiao Lin had heard from Xia Mo that the members of the Demon Prison Sect were bloodthirsty and brutal, and notorious in Guifeng Mountain. It was indeed not a good choice to associate with such a vicious person.

"Boom~~" Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the gray Taiyin mysterious energy in the distance also scattered, revealing a huge canyon.

"The Ghost Cave Heaven is about to open." Xia Mo's face lit up with joy, and she shot directly into the air. Xiao Lin also soared into the air and flew hundreds of feet high in the air. Xiao Lin immediately saw a huge, bottomless canyon dozens of miles ahead.

There are four towering peaks surrounding the huge canyon. At this moment, these four peaks are all shining with black light, like ink. At first glance, they look like four dark suns.

"Sure enough, the Ghost Cave Heaven is about to open. Under the four peaks are four high-level Taiyin Mysterious Veins. By chance, they are combined into the Four Symbols Taiyin Rotating Array. Due to the constraints of the array, the Taiyin Qi in these four high-level Taiyin Mysterious Veins cannot dissipate. But as time goes by, the Taiyin Qi gathers more and more. When it is dense to a certain degree, it can stimulate the Four Symbols Taiyin Rotating Array, thereby reversing Yin and Yang and opening the door to the Ghost Cave Heaven." Xia Mo explained to Xiao Lin using the art of sound transmission as the two of them flew towards the canyon.

Soon the two of them arrived above the canyon. At this moment, the four black lights on the four peaks had begun to expand rapidly. At the moment when the four black lights overlapped and crossed, a white light suddenly flashed out.

"Ahhh~~"

The moment the white light burst out, it spread out for hundreds of miles, and many of the ghost monks gathered around the canyon suddenly let out shrill screams. The black robes of these ghost monks had been lifted up, revealing expressions of fear. They looked at their hands in horror, only to see that their hands began to disappear like spring snow, starting from the fingertips, spreading to the palms at a speed visible to the naked eye, then to the arms, then to the feet, and then to the whole body.

Screams of terror were heard incessantly, and soon at least hundreds of ghost cultivators disappeared into thin air.

Xiao Lin was also shocked by this scene. Although he didn't know what kind of magical power the white light was, it was similar to the sun god light of the immortal way. Only the ultimate power of the sun god light could emit a snow-white light.

But how could such a magical power appear in the Guifeng Mountains filled with the mysterious energy of Taiyin? This really puzzled Xiao Lin.

"This is the power that erupted from the Four Symbols Taiyin Rotating Array. It can reverse yin and yang and turn the power of Taiyin into the light of the sun. This is also a phenomenon that will inevitably occur every time the Ghost Cave Heaven opens. If one's realm is not at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it is basically difficult to resist the sudden appearance of the sun's power. Once a ghost cultivator's body is invaded by the sun's power, the yin and yang will immediately dissolve. Not only will the ghost cultivation be annihilated, but even the physical body and soul will disappear in the process of the yin and yang dissolving."

When Xiao Lin heard this, he suddenly understood. At the same time, he was truly amazed at the Four Symbols Taiyin Rotating Array. The natural forces of heaven and earth were so mysterious. It also showed that cultivators were still very insignificant in front of such natural forces of heaven and earth.

"Buzz!" After the power of the sun dissipated, a snow-white ball of light several feet in size appeared in the air a hundred feet below the canyon. The halo seemed like water waves, rippling continuously.

At the same time, a black color could be seen from within this ball of snow-white light.

"That's the entrance to Ghost Cave Heaven, Brother Xiao, let's go in."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded, and together with Xia Mo, they transformed into two black beams of light and shot straight towards the snow-white light ball. At the same time, beams of light also shot towards the light ball from all directions.

After a series of ripples, Xiao Lin and Xia Mo disappeared without a trace.

A dazzling light flashed before his eyes, and the next moment, he plunged into darkness. The sudden change from light to dark made even Xiao Lin feel a darkness in front of his eyes, but he quickly adapted to it, and he and Xia Mo appeared in a dim space.

A scarlet smell suddenly hit my nose.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but cover his nose, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

It was obviously Xia Mo's first time entering the Ghost Cave Heaven. After smelling the bloody odor, she instinctively covered her nose. Then the two of them saw the blood-red river in the distance that ran through the entire mountain range.

"This is the blood river in Ghost Cave Heaven. According to rumors, this blood river was formed after a great war in the world of immortal cultivators in ancient times. A large amount of blood essence of immortal cultivators has flowed into it. After being fused with the Taiyin Mysterious Qi, it has turned into a peculiar power. This power is also called blood power by the ghosts. It is a kind of extremely cold power. Compared with the ghost energy cultivated by the ghosts, it has a few more filthy airs, which are specifically used to pollute the magic tools of immortal cultivators. Once the magic tools of immortal cultivators are contaminated with this blood power, most of their spirituality will be lost immediately, becoming dull and slow. Therefore, the water in this blood river is a treasure."

"咻咻咻~~~"

Xiao Lin saw beams of light in the distance, shooting towards one direction, but all of them had to pass through the blood river.

When those ghost monks flew above the blood river, a terrifying scene appeared. A huge blood-colored vortex suddenly emerged in the blood river. A blood-colored beam of light shot out from the blood-colored vortex and instantly shone on the escape light of those ghost monks.

The moment they were exposed, the ghost monks let out screams. They were instantly wrapped in a layer of blood and were dragged by a huge force towards the blood-red vortex below.

"Could it be that the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] is in that blood river?" Xiao Lin also showed a surprised expression. You know, before, under the sunlight, all the ghost cultivators below the Tribulation Stage had disappeared into thin air. In other words, those who could enter the Ghost Cave Heaven, except for a very few ghost cultivators who escaped with their lives by chance, were mostly powerful ghost cultivators above the Tribulation Stage.

However, these powerful ghost monks seemed to have no power to resist in front of the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] and were dragged into the vortex and disappeared without a trace. The screams also stopped abruptly when they entered the vortex.

"The [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] usually lives in the Blood River. They devour blood and energy. Of course, what they like most are the souls and spirits of ghost cultivators and the ghost energy in their bodies. Moreover, the blood light emitted by this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] contains the power of condensing energy to suppress ghosts. Once a ghost is suppressed, the ghost energy in the body will immediately become scattered and unable to condense. Many ghost magic powers will also be unable to be used. No matter how high the realm is, it will be dead without a doubt."

Xiao Lin was also shocked when he heard this. It was true that all things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Even the powerful ghost cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing stage were helpless in front of this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast]. They could only watch helplessly as they were dragged into the blood river and became food for the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast].

"Hoho~~"

Suddenly, roars were heard in the blood river, and then Xiao Lin saw several huge creatures crawling out from the blood river.

These huge creatures have bodies like pigs, but they have four long thin legs that look like lamb legs. What's even more strange is that they have huge heads that are several times larger than their bodies. The heads look no different from human faces, with a pair of scarlet eyes like those of Tongling. The only difference from human faces is that they have an elephant trunk.

Xiao Lin had heard Xia Mo talk about this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] before. It was the offspring of the immortal Taotie beast and the dream-eating tapir. This [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] was hermaphroditic. After it grew to adulthood, it would reproduce young [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beasts] on its own. So over the countless years, if they had not needed to survive in the blood river, they would have become a major problem long ago.

After these [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beasts] crawled out of the blood river, they turned their trunks slightly and smelled the ghost aura on those ghost monks. Their scarlet eyes instantly locked onto several ghost monks.

Even Xiao Lin and Xia Mo were instantly locked onto by a [Corpse Demon Taotie Beast], and then a cloud of blood light rolled up and shot towards the two of them.

Seeing the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] pouncing towards her, Xia Mo's pretty face turned pale in an instant, and deep fear was revealed in her eyes. If it was any other monster, Xia Mo would fight it no matter what, but facing the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast], a monster that is the nemesis of ghost cultivators, Xia Mo lost the idea of ​​resisting for a moment. Seeing that it had flown to less than ten feet in front of her, opened its bloody mouth, and shot out large amounts of blood, she was stunned.
