396: Magical arts? Didn't they say that spirits couldn't exist after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Ye Bai frowned. "Not good, it's absorbing the power within my body. I can't let it go to waste!"

"Everyone, stand back. I'm going to burn it with fire!"

After speaking, Ye Bai sat down cross-legged and formed hand seals.

Immediately after, he opened his left palm, and a cluster of flames ignited out of thin air, burning fiercely.

He closed both eyes and silently recited an incantation. His hands danced as they shifted through seals, and the flames leaped and surged.

The audience in the Live Stream Room held their breath, too nervous to even blink.

This was the Devil King's signature move!

Ye Bai slowly opened his eyes; his pupils were as deep as the sea, flickering with golden light.

He pointed his right index finger toward the sky, and that leaping flame shot upward, reaching a height of a hundred zhang!

The viewers in the Live Stream Room widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the ball of fire.

"Holy crap, is this really an Immortal Art? This is freaking explosive!"

"Forgive me, a country bumpkin who can't read, I only remember the three words 'Immortal Second Gen'."

"To the person above, I can't read either, but those three words 'Immortal Second Gen' are truly awesome!"

“666666, the Streamer's skills are absolutely insane!”

Just then, the flames suddenly exploded, transforming into a sky full of stars, dazzling and magnificent!

"Holy crap! That works too? Streamer, please explain!"

"Oh my god, this is also called an Immortal Art?"

"Unscientific, this world is too Xuanhuan!"

Ye Bai curled his lips into a smile and gently brushed the dust off his hands, appearing calm and composed.

"You guessed wrong."

He said, "What I used just now wasn't a Spell, but a Daoist technique—the Sun-Inducing Formula."

"The Sun-Inducing Formula, as the name suggests, uses the power of the sun to subdue all things and break through illusions."

Ye Bai formed hand seals, and those stars suddenly lit up with a blinding radiance, shooting out in all directions!

"Rumble... Crack!"

The Stone Wall trembled, covered in dense cracks, and quickly collapsed.

"Ah—"

Several people were scared out of their wits and hurriedly fled the Stone Chamber.

Ye Bai took the opportunity to collect the blood and debris from the relief; these things were clues and should be useful if brought back.

The Stone Chamber collapsed, and the group scrambled out of the Cave in a sorry state, only to find they had reached the riverbank.

"Look, there are many Corpses floating on the water!"

"So, what we saw earlier wasn't a dream?"

"Definitely not a dream. The Streamer's methods just now were too incredible. This is real!"

Ye Bai looked around and saw many Corpses floating by the shore, all with their hearts hollowed out—a gruesome sight.

He frowned slightly and murmured to himself, "It seems some things have spiraled out of control."

"Teacher Ye, what should we do?" Fatso asked with a long face.

Ye Bai sighed. "We must find the bronze statue quickly, or there will be big trouble!"

Yang Lulu gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "These bastards are too hateful. They killed so many people and even brought the Corpses here to throw into coffins and bury!"

Ye Bai said no more and turned to walk forward.

He knew very well that there was definitely something wrong with that bronze statue.

After walking for a while, Ye Bai discovered several more ancient Bronze Doors, similarly carved with various reliefs.

Behind every Bronze Door, an Ancient Corpse was hidden.

They searched along the way, taking nearly two hours to dig out all these Ancient Corpses and then burn them all.

After all this exertion, they were physically and mentally exhausted.

"Streamer, let's rest for a bit."

"There's a Stone Stele here!"

The bullet comments in the Live Stream Room suddenly surged.

Ye Bai looked toward the sound and indeed found an incomplete Stone Stele on the riverbank with the words 'Jiuyou Mountain' written on it.

"Streamer, Jiuyou Mountain is Jiuyou Valley. We are at the riverbank now."

Ye Bai nodded. "Continue forward."

The river was very wide, about seven or eight kilometers long, with surging waves and a rapid current.

The group walked up along the edge of the riverbank, passing many abandoned house ruins along the way.

These buildings had long since weathered away, looking very desolate.

"Eh? There's a tomb up ahead!" Fatso exclaimed.

"A tomb?!" The others were all startled.

"Streamer, let's go check it out!"

The group picked up their pace and ran toward the ruins.

"Wow, these ruins are actually so well-preserved. You can tell at a glance that people must have lived here back then."

"It's so eerie here. It couldn't be haunted, could it?"

Ye Bai narrowed his eyes to survey the surroundings. He had heard that the locations of Ancient Tombs are usually Feng Shui treasures, but they can also hide great danger.

"Streamer, look! There are Corpses!"

"Holy crap! They really are Corpses!"

"But why are these Corpses all shriveled up? They look almost like living people."

"My goodness, could they be Corpses?"

Ye Bai stepped forward to observe the Corpses closely.

"Eh?" He touched a neck and said in confusion, "Why does it feel like some flesh is missing, but the skin is incredibly smooth..."

"Streamer, don't touch them recklessly!"

"Look, the Corpse moved!"

Just as those words were spoken, the Corpses suddenly flipped over, their mouths inhaling and exhaling as if swallowing something.

This situation immediately made everyone's skin crawl and their hair stand on end.

Ye Bai said solemnly, "These Corpses must have starved to death and underwent a corpse transformation into Corpses!"

As he spoke, he took out a divination compass from his pocket; the needle was spinning wildly!

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

The Live Stream Room was in a state of chaos, with the screen filled with "Holy crap"!

"Holy crap! Am I seeing this right? Streamer, you actually know fortune-telling!"

"Damn! The Streamer is truly the Streamer!"

"So handsome, I really want to have his babies!"

"We've really met an extraordinary person this time. This kind of legendary stuff has actually appeared in our real society!"

Ye Bai shook his head and said calmly, "It's not exactly fortune-telling, I just know a bit of divination. I can barely be called a half-immortal."

"That's already Heaven-Defying enough! Streamer, I love you!"

"The Streamer is mighty and domineering!"

Ye Bai glanced at the bullet comments and thought to himself: I even know a set of martial arts! It's just not convenient to use them in modern society!

"Streamer, I feel like there's an evil Qi nearby," Fatso whispered.

Ye Bai's expression was grave. "These were all ordinary people; it's impossible for them to Cultivate evil Qi. If I'm not mistaken, there's some kind of monster nearby."

"I think so too. Those Corpses were all caused by having their essence sucked dry, and their manner of death is extremely bizarre. It's definitely not a normal death from illness!"

Ye Bai took a deep breath. "There is likely a huge crisis hidden here. We must find the bronze statue as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he stepped forward.

The group quickly followed, not daring to relax in the slightest.

The further they went, the thicker the mist became.

"Streamer, watch out! There's something ahead!"

Suddenly, a warning came from the Live Stream Room.

Ye Bai looked up and saw a Stone Wall standing not far away, five or six meters high. Its surface gave off a pitch-black coldness, as if it had been painted with ink, looking quite terrifying.

He frowned, raised his gun to aim, and pulled the trigger. With a muffled bang, fire spurted from the barrel!

The bullet pierced the Stone Wall but caused no damage.

"Streamer, this wall isn't simple!"

Ye Bai was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I'll back off first."
