Chapter 10: Soul Mountain
After leaving the gate of the academy, Wantian walked all the way in the direction of the west gate of Radiant City, and on the way, he also asked a few passers-by about the general situation there.
It turned out that the mass grave three miles west of the city still had some origins.
About thirty years ago, there was a serious civil strife in the Radiant Empire, and the rebel army directly attacked the imperial capital. At that time, the war was fierce, and there was a river of blood almost every day.
At first, the rebels had the absolute upper hand, but then the royal family suddenly sent hundreds of powerful warriors to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.
After the battle, several strong men joined forces to dig a deep cave in a mountain three miles away from the West City Gate, and then discarded all the corpses of the rebels in it, and sealed them with a peculiar formation.
And this mountain, since then, has been called the Mountain of Soul Burying! It means the mountain where the soul is buried, so that it will never see the light of day, and it will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation in life and life!
When Wan Tian heard these news, he was also stunned for a long time, he didn't expect that someone would use such a despicable method.
In the past, when he was a Nether Enforcer, one of his jobs was to search for the spirits of the dead who were harmful to the human world, or who were used by the living, to help them free or take them to purgatory to be punished.
But the Radiant Empire's such despicable means are something that the Netherworld cannot tolerate, and in a sense, the Radiant Empire's actions are interfering with the Heavenly Dao, and it is also equivalent to provoking the Netherworld's control of the undead! This also made the anger in the heart of De Wantian, the former commander of the Netherworld Law Enforcement Team, burn all at once.
No matter what happened to those rebels during their lifetimes, but people die like lights out, and when they die, they die, and this method of imprisoning the soul and preventing them from being immortalized is really immoral to the extreme.
Wan Tian suppressed the anger in his heart, and there was a cold arc on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly vowed: One day, I must destroy the emperor of the Radiant Empire and those who pay attention to imprisoning those undead, gods, souls, and souls!
After taking a deep breath and calming down, he walked out of the West City Gate.
When he walked out of the city gate, he raised his eyes and saw a hundred-zhang high mountain in the distance, which was the Soul Burial Mountain! At first glance, it looks like a giant mountain made of Ugin.
But Remnant Tian knew in his heart that this mountain was dead, although there were still trees on it, but they all did not have the slightest breath of life, and the black qi on the top of the mountain was actually a combination of death and resentment. This is also the main reason why this Soul Mountain died and turned black.
"Alas......" sighed in his heart, and the remnant sky took a step forward, thinking about the direction of the Soul Burial Mountain.
It didn't take long, it only took less than half an hour, and the remnant sky came to the foot of the mountain, and when he raised his head and looked at the entire Soul Burial Mountain, his mood was a little complicated, with sympathy, anger, and excitement!
Among them, the sympathy was for the undead of those rebel troops, the anger was for the Radiant Empire, and the excitement was because the death qi here was quite sufficient, enough for him to cultivate the Nine Nether Method.
Shaking his head, the remnant sky didn't think much about it, and directly carried his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the mountain. As for whether there would be any guards or anything like that, he wouldn't worry about it at all.
No matter who cares for this kind of eerie place, even if it is ordered by the royal family, it is useless, it is full of death, and the guards can't stay here for a long time, otherwise they may be cut off at any time, and eventually end up crippled or killed.
So Wantian didn't care at all, he just climbed to the top of the mountain step by step so unhurriedly. During this journey, he found that the higher he went, the fewer trees there were, and when he reached the top of the mountain, there was no weed, let alone any trees.
His gaze slowly swept around, and soon, he found a five-meter-diameter crater not far away. And above this crater, a layer of red light is shining, and if you look closely, there are these strange runes on top of this light mask. And some black gas is slowly revealing from the mask.
At a glance, the remnant sky knew that this was a small part of the dead qi and resentment leaked out by those resentful spirits inside who were frantically impacting the seal.
Looking at this red light mask, Wan Tian's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, this light mask he recognized, and he was very familiar with it, this was one of their unique formations in the Netherworld: the Spirit Detention Array.
"It seems that there are still some favoritism and bending the law within the law enforcement team! good! good!" A smile suddenly appeared on Wan Tian's face, but when he smiled, his eyes were extremely cold. If someone who is familiar with him sees him here, he will definitely be scared and his knees will weaken, because when Wan Tian shows this smile, it means that he is already angry to the extreme, and he is already about to go berserk!
The remnant of heaven's mood only lasted for a short time before he retreated, and then he found a raised rock nearby, sat cross-legged on his knees, and made a complex gesture with his hands on his chest.
"Just let me see what the smell of death here is!" Wan Tian licked his mouth, the smile on his face was slightly evil, and then his eyes slowly closed and began to meditate.
In just a moment, his whole body was settled, and around him, at this time, there was a circle of pale gray gas, which was constantly inhaled by him with every breath he breathed.
If a normal person inhales a mouthful, he will be crippled if he doesn't die, but this is a great tonic for the remnants of the heavens who have cultivated the Nine Netherworld Method, and it can increase his cultivation speed as quickly as if he was open.
Time passed minute by minute, the time of three hours passed in a flash, and as he absorbed more dead qi, his own aura increased by one more point, and in these three hours, his strength had reached the point of quenching the ninth level of the quenching body, and there was a tendency to continue to rise.
After another two hours, the gray death qi that surrounded the remnant sky had already faded a lot, and his aura had also rushed to the advanced level of the ninefold peak of the quenching body after this period of hard work, so to speak, only half a step away, he would be able to break through and advance to the Gathering Source Realm.
A moment later, the gray gas around him dissipated instantly, and his closed eyes slowly opened at this moment.
The moment he opened his eyes, a dark gray light suddenly bloomed in his eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.
"Whew!"
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air from his mouth, he frowned, and said to himself, "It's strange, why hasn't the Nine Netherworld Method improved at all?"
When Remnant Tian absorbed it before, he tragically found that although the death qi here was sufficient, the Netherworld Power in his body had made no progress after reaching the peak of the Nine Folds of Quenching Body......
This made him, the commander of the Netherworld Law Enforcement Team, make the adults scratch their scalps wildly.
Could it be that the Nine Netherworld Methods can only be cultivated in the Netherworld?
If you can only cultivate in the Netherworld, why can you still absorb death qi?
All kinds of puzzled questions were entangled in Ling Tian's heart, which made him almost crazy, and he couldn't come up with a result after thinking about it.
"Alas......"
After a long time, the remnant sky sighed: now I can only take one step at a time.
