171: Pink Skull, Kill It!

“How dare you!”

“Opportunities under Heaven belong only to those who can seize them, only to those who stand until the very end. How dare a mere Qi Refining Stage - 7th Layer Cultivator like you speak such arrogant words?”

“You are not worthy of coveting the yin wood spirit pearl. This item, my Chenxiang Sect wants it!”

“Where did this dilapidated Sect come from? Go back to your old home and pick up scraps, I’ve never even heard of such a thing!”

As Shen Li’s figure suddenly descended, many Immortal Sects and Cultivators who had long set their sights on the yin wood spirit pearl also fell like raindrops.

For a moment, streaks of flowing light constantly crisscrossed the gloomy, ash-like world, a beautiful sight indeed!

Wang Teng saw this and looked at the several True Disciples around him.

“Let’s go too!”

The crowd looked at each other, nodded, and then headed towards the location of the Yin Fire Spirit Pearl!

Because it was in the Yellow Sand Plains, which is associated with earth, the fire attribute was the most intense, thus the competition for the Yin Fire Spirit Pearl was the most fierce!

Yet, many Immortal Sects showed no fear at all!

They fell straight down!

In the Yin Mu Forest area, a massive loulan treasure ship arrived, breaking through the wind!

And what greeted it were dense, twisted, upward-reaching black branches.

As if sensing an aura that did not belong to this Realm, they all looked up and stabbed towards the sky!

Those who could participate in this celebration were all Cultivators who wished to use the celebration to obtain a heaven and earth treasure to forge their Dao Foundation, and among them were not a few Cultivators at the Qi Refining Perfection.

Although this celebration was hosted by Qingchi Mountain, it did not prevent Loose Cultivators from the Yellow Sand Plains from entering.

For Qingchi Mountain, the local power was also a resource. Since the Yellow Sand Plains was taken by Qingchi Mountain, these so-called Loose Cultivators could be considered half a part of Qingchi Mountain.

There was no need to obstruct them.

If they could achieve the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, Qingchi Mountain might be able to recruit them.

It was beneficial and harmless.

These Cultivators at Qi Refining Perfection, Qi Refining Stage - 8th Layer, and 9th Layer, watched as the bird that stuck its neck out suddenly fell.

A mocking smile appeared on their faces.

If the things at the celebration were that easy to obtain? How could that be!

To deal with Cultivators at their Qi Refining Perfection Realm, the obstacles set for this celebration must surely be at the Qi Refining Perfection Realm!

Even they, at the same Realm, could not take those monsters lightly.

This unknown Cultivator, who seemed to have some background but was only at the Qi Refining Stage - 7th Layer, rashly entering, seemed to have no other choice but death!

On the path of cultivation, the most feared things are foolishness and recklessness, and this mad Cultivator in front of them possessed all of them!

However, this was also a good thing, letting him see how deep the waters were inside this Yin Mu Forest!

Dense vines shot up into the sky!

The surface of the vines also grew countless curved barbs, and in the dark sky, these curved barbs brought immense discomfort.

The speed of the loulan treasure ship did not decrease at all, but rather became faster!

Many Immortal Sects watched as the loulan treasure ship was about to collide violently, expecting both sides to suffer, and couldn't help but sigh.

“After all, he’s only at the Qi Refining Stage - 7th Layer, he can’t keep his composure.”

“What a pity, I still wanted to use him to test the strength of this place. It seems I still have to rely on myself!”

But the next second, a cold voice exploded in the air!

Then, intense explosions and boiling smoke instantly covered everything!

【Great Yang Fire Subduing Tiger Formation!】

A striped fierce tiger suddenly formed at the bow of the loulan treasure ship, then roared towards the gloomy world.

That brightly colored, striped fierce tiger then swooped down!

A streak of fiery meteor suddenly appeared in the gloomy, monotonous sky!

Then the fiery meteor began to burn continuously!

The countless trees in the Yin Mu Forest seemed to gain sentience, constantly twisting their bodies, as if releasing the pain of the vines being burned to ashes!

Boom!

Everyone looked on in horror!

As the dust gradually dissipated, a massive grey-black crater, a full hundred meters in diameter, suddenly appeared!

Boundless flames began to spread in all directions!

“It’s actually a mobile Formation?”

“He has some tricks, but it’s just an external object!”

“Perfect, I can take this Opportunity to land!”

“This Cultivator, we must be wary of him!”

Everyone looked closely, but the white-robed figure was gone. They exchanged glances in twos and threes, then suddenly descended and began to explore the Yin Mu Forest from left and right!

And Shen Li, following the Immortal Opportunity information in his mind, started to sprint wildly.

His eyes were filled with indifference, revealing a hint of coldness...

The Heart Demon was him, and yet not him, like a certain personality.

According to Shen Li, it was like schizophrenia.

But ultimately, it was one entity.

It was just that his methods were much more brutal and fierce.

【Advance three li, encounter a withered bone tree. Buried beneath the tree is a Soul, from which a ninth-rank heaven and earth treasure, Soul Ash, can be obtained, which can enhance the Nether Spiritual Root!】

For other Cultivators at the celebration, the opportunities spoken of by the mysterious rule-maker who appeared out of thin air needed to be found step by step, following the rules.

But for Shen Li, there was no need for that.

The Immortal Opportunity information had already provided him with all the locations of the Immortal Opportunities.

His appearance in the Yin Mu Forest area was simply because the Immortal Opportunity in this location was most crucial to him.

One was the yin wood spirit pearl, this heaven and earth treasure was related to his path to achieving the Dao Foundation Realm.

The other was the mysterious Lingnian Pool. With this Lingnian Pool, strengthening his Lingnian Divine Soul was the top priority!

Using the Innocent Law Sword required powerful will and Soul. Cultivating the Ice Soul Technique, as well as the Little Soul Guarding Technique and Little Soul Chaos Technique, also required the support of Soul strength.

Shen Li was well aware of his own limitations; his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Stage - 7th Layer, and each layer was a threshold that he could not cross in a short time.

Therefore, he needed to focus on strengthening his Divine Soul!

Because the increase in Divine Soul would not only benefit the former, but even the Taiyin Sword Pill and Taiyin Minor Techniques would receive corresponding boosts.

Because both of these were techniques and Sword Pills that targeted the Divine Soul!

Before he finished speaking, Shen Li’s figure appeared silently near the Immortal Opportunity information in his mind!

The mysterious rule-maker only mentioned the most precious Immortal Opportunity, but there were quite a few leftover Immortal Opportunities.

What was the purpose?

Presumably, they were consolation prizes for other Cultivators.

However, with Shen Li also in this area, there was no longer much need for so-called consolation prizes.

As his calculations concluded, Shen Li saw a tree made of white bones.

A human face appeared on the tree, and then a skeleton emerged from the tree trunk, extremely eerie!

ninth-rank heaven and earth treasures each had different forms of manifestation!

Then, the strange skeleton quickly grew flesh and blood, transforming into a young girl.

She was completely naked, her charms fully exposed.

Her eyes, however, were soft as she looked at Shen Li, giving a slight bow.

“Immortal Master, I was originally a miserable person, planted here and watered with blood, thus forming this withered bone tree. I have never killed anyone in my daily life.”

“If possible, please spare this humble girl. This humble girl is willing to share her Origin with Immortal Master.”

“This humble girl... is also innocent.”

“No need.”

The girl wanted to say more, but Shen Li drew out Innocent and slashed with his sword.

The Heart Demon was wonderful, allowing him to almost without restriction activate the Immortal Master Law Sword and the Yin Nether Sect’s demonic techniques.

This was also his plan, only in this way could he unleash the greatest combat power.

He was willing to call it the 【Immortal State】.

Uninhibited!

The lone Soul instantly vanished into thin air, and the withered bone tree collapsed in response.

Even the tender flesh body turned into withered rotten wood, falling to the ground without a sound.

“A beautiful skeleton tempts the Heart Demon.”

“Who knew my Heart Demon was like a snake.”

Shen Li, expressionless, placed the urn in his embrace.

And at this moment, an explosion came from beside his ear.

“Junior, put down that Opportunity!”

The newcomer’s Nether Energy was immediately apparent, and he was... a Cultivator from the Yin Nether Sect!
