90: Chapter 90 The Unsolvable Curtain

Qin Family Village, Temple.

Qin Ling inside the shrine suddenly opened his eyes.

The moment those eyes opened, the candle flame on the offering table violently flickered.

His divine sense seemed to sense something inherently repulsive.

Qin Ling stood up from the shrine, his figure flickering as he arrived atop the temple's roof.

He raised his head, looking towards the west, in the direction where Guanhai County City was located.

Then he saw that unimaginable scene.

A pitch-black giant tree rose from beneath Guanhai County City.

Its trunk burst out of the ground from the direction of Guanhai County City, crushing and pulverizing the surrounding houses.

The branches were twisted, like countless snakes intertwined together, continuously winding upwards.

This pitch-black giant tree was absurdly huge, its lush canopy shielding the entire Guanhai County City beneath it.

Even from this far away, Qin Ling could clearly sense the monstrous evil Qi.

It was an evil entity!

Qin Ling instantly understood what this pitch-black giant tree was.

Presumably, those creatures parasitized by plants were also the masterpiece of this Evil Tree!

Before Qin Ling could think about anything else, another veil peeled off from the canopy and spread all around.

It expanded too fast; in just a blink of an eye, this layer of veil had already swept over Qin Ling's head.

He raised his head, watching that translucent veil sweep across the roof of Qin Family Village and extend towards the coastline.

The edge of the veil fell upon the sea surface, upon those churning waves.

The seawater was thus separated by the veil.

Qin Ling raised an eyebrow.

Clearly, he did not understand this veil condensed from evil Qi.

However, with his current Xiansheng Realm cultivation, he could still tell that this veil was used for isolation.

With a flicker of his figure, Qin Ling darted out from the temple roof, landing in front of the veil in the sky.

That light-black, translucent veil hung before him, with churning evil Qi slowly flowing.

Qin Ling reached out, his fingertips touching the edge of the veil.

He found that he couldn't pass his fingers through the veil.

Indeed, it was meant for isolation.

He exerted a bit more strength, pressing his fingertips against the veil. Golden light lit up on his fingertips, and divine power began to output.

The veil shook slightly without causing any ripples.

Seeing this, Qin Ling increased his output of divine power.

He raised his palm, aiming it at the veil. Golden light gushed from his palm, and a golden beam of light slammed into the black veil.

The veil trembled more violently than before, but still failed to leave a trace on the veil.

Seeing this, Qin Ling frowned.

It seemed that this veil was indeed rather tricky.

Infusing his divine power, he could see that this layer of veil was an existence similar to an array formed by the condensation of evil Qi.

Wanting to break through at a single point was basically impossible, unless all the evil Qi of this veil could be purified!

But this evil Qi came from the evil entity itself.

In other words, to break through this veil, unless the Evil Tree of Guanhai County died.

Yet the most terrifying thing was that, according to the perception of this world, evil entities were immortal and indestructible.

Doesn't this mean that in this world, as long as an evil entity unfolded such an evil Qi veil,

any living beings inside wouldn't even think about escaping?

Even with Qin Ling's current state of mind, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The evil entities in this world were truly insoluble.

And he was probably the only variable within this evil Qi veil.

The evil Qi on the veil noticed Qin Ling, and a lot of evil Qi surged onto his fingers.

However, this evil Qi was of no use to Qin Ling.

Divine Technique: Exorcism!

After using Exorcism, the evil Qi on his fingers was immediately purified.

In just this short while, Qin Ling had burned 10 incense points.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ling continued to use Divine Technique: Exorcism to purify the evil Qi veil.

In just the blink of an eye, he had consumed hundreds of incense points.

But the evil Qi veil in front of him only had its evil Qi dimmed slightly, far from purifying a hole out of it.

Seeing this, Qin Ling stopped testing like before, but directly drove Divine Technique: Exorcism with all his might to purify the evil Qi veil before him.

Attempting to purify a hole in the evil Qi veil.

Divine Technique: Exorcism was driven by him to the extreme. Wherever the golden light passed, the evil Qi on the veil twisted wildly.

But the evil Qi surging over from other places was too fast.

They seemed to sense that the evil Qi in this area was being purified, and immediately evil Qi from other places surged over.

He purified an inch, and the veil replenished an inch;

He purified a foot, and the veil replenished a foot.

Qin Ling's frown grew tighter and tighter. He could sense that this evil Qi was completely integrated as one.

It could be said that it was simply impossible to open a hole in the veil.

In just this short period of time, he had already consumed nearly three hundred incense points.

Although he now possessed three jurisdictions—Qin Family Village, Zhou Family Village, and Zhuguang Temple on the seabed—the incense points he harvested had increased a lot.

But consuming more than three hundred incense points in such a short while still made his heart ache quite a bit.

Qin Ling stopped using Divine Technique: Exorcism and took a step back.

The evil Qi on the veil that had just been somewhat dim restored its previous vigor in the blink of an eye.

The evil Qi Qin Ling had just purified was simply not enough to make a difference.

Staring at the evil Qi veil before him, he waited for a while longer.

He didn't wait for any system feedback.

That is to say, his purification of the evil Qi just now actually didn't yield any incense point rewards!

Unlike before when he was on the East China Sea Seabed purifying the evil Qi on the corpse of the Little Li Dragon, the system gave him a reward of incense points.

Presumably it was because this evil Qi veil was fundamentally different from the previous evil Qi.

Discovering this, Qin Ling's expression turned slightly solemn.

He turned his head, staring at the pitch-black giant tree not far away that blotted out the sky.

All the evil Qi of this evil Qi veil came from that Evil Tree.

Qin Ling didn't expect this veil to be so bizarre and ominous that even he had no way to break it open.

As for right now, there was only one method he hadn't tried yet.

Qin Ling's eyes lit up as he used another divine technique.

Teleportation!

Golden light lit up from under his feet, enveloping his figure. Following a flash, his figure disappeared.

East China Sea Seabed, Zhuguang Temple.

On the offering table, the pearl carved into a divine statue was still glowing, warm and moist, illuminating the entire temple with a soft glow.

The pearls on the temple eaves twinkled like stars, shining in the dimness like an inverted starry sky.

A Little Clam Spirit was lying in front of the offering table, with its shell half-open, holding three sticks of incense with its tongue crookedly, preparing to insert them into the censer.

Then Qin Ling appeared out of thin air in front of it, his golden figure standing on the coral reef-paved ground.

Accompanied by that majestic and grandiose aura.

The Little Clam Spirit was so frightened by this scene that its tongue stiffened, and the incense sticks slipped off its tongue and fell down.

Its shell snapped shut with a "snap," and the whole clam curled up into a ball, rolling twice in front of the offering table before hitting the table leg with a dull thud.
