I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 139: Absolute Spirit Insect

Leaving Elder Wen aside, Ruan Xing began to ponder the meaning of these words. Elder Wen said that these were the original words of Immortal Lord Guangyou, and she still believed it. The old man and Qin Taihe had no friendship or hatred, and now they were trapped here together, so there was really no need to lie to her.

But... a contradiction arose that she didn't understand.

The key was left behind by Immortal Lord Guangyou more than twenty years ago. Elder Wen has been in Nanzhou for more than thirty years, and Immortal Lord Guangyou died after rescuing Fairy Qingping. Could it be that Immortal Lord Guangyou had been to the Land of Absolute Spirits before Fairy Qingping got into trouble?

More importantly, apart from asking the Qintai family to take the key to retrieve the body, he did not give any instructions on what to pay attention to, nor did he say where the dangers in the Land of Absolute Spirits were and how to deal with them.

Since he knew about the Land of Absolute Spirits and had mentioned it to his apprentice, why didn't he tell the Qintai family?

It's impossible that he was deliberately trying to trick the Qintai family, right? According to the time when he left the key, Qintai Gu's father had not yet gone into the devil's way and was in seclusion preparing to break through to the God Transformation Stage. If he really succeeded in breaking through to the God Transformation Stage, then wouldn't he be the only one willing to use the key to take back his son's remains?

hiss--

Ruan Xing took a breath.

Oh my god, the more I think about it, the more something seems wrong. Why are these people, who have become immortals, still so scheming against each other?

Her head hurt and she didn't understand why.

However, the original male protagonist was able to obtain the Immortal King's inheritance and come out alive, proving that the Land of Absolute Spirits is not a dead end. Even if the key is useless, there is still a way to find a way.

She was thinking hard when she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

When I looked up, it was already dark.

Ruan Xing thought to herself, oh no, the timer for her shapeshifting technique is almost up.

In order to avoid performing a magic trick in front of Elder Wen, Ruan Xing made a prompt decision and turned around to leave.

Elder Wen saw her and called out, "Hey, where are you going?"

Ruan Xing turned around and said as a matter of course: "Of course you should go find other monks, tell them the truth, and find clues to get out. Anyway, you think it doesn't matter whether you get out or not, so just stay here."

"How naive! Even if you tell them, they won't believe you." Elder Wen sighed. "But if you want to go, I won't stop you. But I forgot to tell you one thing just now. There is a creature in this land of absolute souls called the absolute soul insect. It is born at sunset and dies at sunrise. It feeds on human souls, but it has no eyes or ears. So if you want to avoid them, you just need to find a closed place and keep your spiritual sense away. Don't leave it randomly, and you won't be discovered by them. After looking around for a long time, I only found this one complete house. You should stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

It turned out that the creature that attacked him that night was called the Jueling Insect.

Ruan Xing actually thought of a way to deal with it. After all, the woman was fine after nine days. The only reason she could think of was that the woman subconsciously looked for a house that could shelter her from the wind and rain, and that was why she was not disturbed by the soul-killing insects.

That night, the sound of the Absolute Soul Insect was still some distance away from her. When she sent out her spiritual sense to see what was going on, the Absolute Soul Insect suddenly became unusually active and moved towards her. So she realized that her spiritual sense would only make the Absolute Soul Insect more excited. Therefore, she prepared a large wooden box that could isolate her spiritual sense.

Not only could it hold a sword for the young boy who had not yet fully developed to sneak through the gap in time and space, but it could also hold a little girl like her to avoid the attacks of the absolute spirit insects when night fell. It was perfect. However, she had not used it yet, so she didn't know whether this wooden box was really useful.

But with Qin Taihe's height and body shape, she definitely couldn't fit in. She had to get out of Elder Wen's sight and remove the illusion spell on her body.

Ruan Xing planned to ask a few more questions and then leave.

She questioned, "Didn't you say that no living creature can survive in the Land of Absolute Spirits?"

"Yes, strictly speaking, the Absolute Spirit Worm is not a living thing, because it has no consciousness, and there is no energy in its body. It cannot be seen by the spirit consciousness or the naked eye, but it can be touched and can attack. All living things in the world have their own development process and have parents, but the Absolute Spirit Worm appears at sunset and turns into ashes at sunrise. It is really against common sense. So my master believes that it is not a living thing, but a product."

Elder Wen suddenly made a joke, "Perhaps this entire Absolute Spirit Land is a large-scale formation, and the Absolute Spirit Bug is the formation effect that clears everything in the formation."

Of course, such a huge formation is impossible to appear. From the venue that Ruan Xing looked down at several times in mid-air, the entire Jueling Land is almost boundless. Even for an Immortal King, he has to follow the basic rules when setting up a formation.

And without spiritual power, how can the formation be effective?

This statement is not true, but Ruan Xing also obtained new information.

It turns out that the thick layer of dust on the ground is the corpses of the Jueling insects. No wonder there is so much dust here even though there is no sun or moon, no wind or rain.

They are all the ashes of the absolute soul insects!
Ruan Xing suddenly felt that his shoes were a little dirty. He didn't know how many dead insects he had stepped on.

Fortunately, she couldn't see what the Jueling insect looked like. Based on the feel of her attack, she roughly guessed that the opponent was a winged crustacean with a slender body and a hard snout, and the size of a basketball. If her sword stabbed its head, there would be a sharp sound similar to nails scratching a blackboard.

This could be considered the first danger of the Land of Absolute Souls. The Absolute Souls insects were not invincible. She could kill dozens of them with her sword relying on her physical fitness without using any magic. But there were just too many of them in the end, and after she was injured, the Absolute Souls insects began to devour her soul, so when she died she felt the pain that didn't seem to be transmitted from her body.

With the physical fitness of the Nascent Soul Stage after the body was reshaped, killing a thousand or eight hundred of them would be no problem, but the Jueling Insects were endless and came continuously, so it was difficult for the Nascent Soul Stage to survive under such circumstances.

Therefore, the saying that one cannot enter unless one reaches the Spiritual Transformation stage is not false. Maybe there really are ways to deal with the Soul-Destroying Insects in the Spiritual Transformation stage, but she just doesn't know it now.

Ruan Xing looked at her big wooden box. She already knew from Elder Wen how to avoid the absolute spirit insects, so there was no need to test whether the big wooden box was useful.

So should I leave and look for another place, or give up on this simulation?
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Xing made a decision. As long as the gap in time and space was still there, she would have many simulations to try. But if she missed this time, it might be difficult for her to find Elder Wen again. After all, this place was so big and her landing point would be different every time.

So she took out a key and placed it in her palm.

"Then, one last question." Ruan Xing stared at Elder Wen and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Elder Wen's expression changed instantly.
