Chapter 2529: Following Alone

countless dragons that had perished within the Buddhist sect's secret realm over countless years.Over the passage of time, a portion of it has gradually faded away, with many things forgotten. After...If a boneshell is kept and refined to a certain extent, it can help the user break through their realm later on. However, once used, it becomes extremely difficult to refine back to its original state.

“Please, Daoist friend, leave the bone shell with this little woman.” After explaining the use of the bone shell to Lu Xiaoxiao Tian, Xiang explained. Even if she concealed something, Lu Xiaoxiao Tian wouldn't let her soul go, and Mingqi would have no way out.

“If I succeed this time, letting you go would not be out of the question. But if things don't go my way, even my own life may be in jeopardy. You’d better just accompany me to my grave.” Lu Xia Tian smiled upon hearing this.

“Who would dare to threaten Daoist friend's existence” Mingqi was taken aback. In Mingqi's view, Lu Xiaottian’s cultivation realm might not be considered high, but his actual strength was truly astonishing, especially the powerful magical powers he cultivated were unprecedented in his life. Now, the other party openly admitted that even he was worried about his own life.

How could Mingqi not be alarmed They had cultivated to this level, and there were few who could threaten their lives.

If she hadn't been so unlucky this time, to encounter someone like Lu Xia Tian with such formidable strength and who had cultivated Buddhist and Taoist divine powers that just happened to restrain her, even if she had faced someone slightly stronger than Lu Xia Tian, Ming Qi believed she could have most likely paid a price to escape, rather than having her primordial spirit captured.

In Ming Qi's view, someone like Lu Xiaitian who cultivates such flawless divine abilities can only be overcome by a powerful enemy who can suppress him through sheer strength. To kill him would be even more difficult.

“Great Cultivator of the Mahayana Realm!” Lu Xia Tian’s simple five words were enough to make Ming Qi shut up.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Ghost Qi Are you trying to use the formation here" Mingqi pondered for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed.

"You also know the formation of the Soul-Sinking Ground" Lu Xia Tian said in surprise.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Back then, I was being chased by powerful enemies and was nearly at my wits' end. I accidentally stumbled into that ghost realm and obtained the Xuan Ghost Jade. Next to the jade was a soul stele, but because my cultivation was too shallow, I couldn't see all the words on the stele. I only knew about the Nine Quetian Yin Xuan Ghost Formation. According to the stele, if the power of the soul-sealing place were mobilized, it would be enough to trap and kill powerful cultivators of the Great Ascension Realm.” Ming Qi recalled for a moment before continuing.

“Take me there.” Lu Xia Tian’s eyes gleamed with excitement upon hearing this.

He had originally only intended to acquire a strand of the Xuan Gui corpse energy from Ming Qi. Unexpectedly, he could now obtain other information about the Jiue Tian Yin Xuan Gui Array. Moreover, this information was even unknown to Shi Qing Lei Fo. Naturally, Lu Xia Tian felt overjoyed.

"Of course, there's no problem. But fellow cultivator, you must promise to spare my life after the deed is done. You practice the righteous path of Buddhism, so just make a solemn vow and it will be done."

Mingqi did want more guarantees, but the ordinary ghosts here couldn't restrain Lu Xiaoteng. Someone like Lu Xiaoteng who cultivated orthodox methods could achieve such a realm, and he must have an open mind. For the sake of wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao without distractions, he wouldn't let something trivial blemish his path.

Lu Xia Tian swore to follow his words.

“If you want to go there, you need to prepare more. The one who chased me into the dangerous place back then was a powerful demon, Bai Mo Yuan Wang. He should have also gained some benefits from that perilous land. These years, I've been trying to find a way to enter its core, but I don't have the Xuan Gui Qing Yu in my possession. However, over these millennia, I don't know if he has found other discoveries.”

“After I obtained a wisp of ghost qi from the Corpse Devil these years, I originally wanted to enter again, but when I met face-to-face with the White-Eyed Ape King, I could only give up for now. Lu Daoist, your trip there is likely to involve encountering that White-Eyed Ape King.”

"Blind Eye Ape King" Lu Xia Tian's eyes narrowed, remembering the conversation he had with the several Red-Green Ape Kings before. If this was the case, this Blind Eye Ape King must be the elder brother of that Red-Green Ape King.

"How powerful is the White-Eyed Ape King"

“If we really fought, I wouldn't be a match for the White-Eyed Ape King either. He has the ability to kill me. It's just that, unlike your friend Lu, he can restrain me, so my chances of escaping from him are higher. Over these years, the White-Eyed Ape King’s cultivation has grown increasingly profound. In my opinion, if your friend Lu faced the White-Eyed Ape King, he would likely lose more than he wins. Of course, if your friend Lu had other

means, that's a different story.”

Now that Mingqi was on the same battle line as Lu Xiaitian, he had nothing to hide. “The White-Eyed Ape King has been circling that area for many years. If we rashly confront it, it would be clearly disadvantageous for you.”

"I'm not alone either." Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed upon hearing this. Since he knew that the White-Eyed Ape King, the Red-Green Ape King, and the Three-Sided Corpse Ape were in a group, Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't go alone. Otherwise, if they really fought, even he would be in danger.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have other reinforcements” Ming Qi exclaimed in surprise.

"I still have help, but the other side does too, and they are probably stronger than ours. As for how the situation will develop, it depends on how both sides respond. But right now, the enemy is in the open and I am in the shadows, so it's not without a chance."

Lu Xia Tian replied with a sound, his figure flashed, and he once again left the Corpse Green Bone Snake's lair. After some effort, he brought both the Phantom Scorpion King and Ban Qianzhi to the Corpse Green Bone Snake's lair.

The Shadow Scorpion King and Ban Chiyai were both surprised. They hadn't expected Lu Xiaonian to have subdued a powerful group of Corpse Green Bone Snakes as soon as he entered.

Although Meiheng Xiezhi King was led around by Lu Xiaoteng's nose, he couldn't help but feel resentful deep down.

After settling the Shadow Scorpion King and Ban Qianzhi, Lu Xia Tian set off again. The Shadow Scorpion King and Ban Qianzhi were both staying in Ming Qi's lair. Even though Ming Qi was only left with his primordial spirit, he still had many ways to contact them.

Along the way in this Mysterious Ghost Cave, Lu Xiaotian still persisted as before, tirelessly absorbing the spiritual energy from the Dragon Vein Dark Crystal. A swift steed can't leap ten steps at a time. A crossbowman who diligently practices his aim will achieve great things through perseverance.

Even though the amount of energy absorbed from the Dragon Pattern Dark Crystal each day was extremely limited, over time, the total amount kept increasing. Until one day, it would reach a point where it allowed Lu Xia Tian to break free from his cocoon and transform into a butterfly.

If we really count, Lu Xia Tian absorbing the Dragon Vein Dark Crystal, the time to reach his breakthrough couldn't be considered slow. It's just that Lu Xia Tian's current situation and the enemies he faces don't give him enough time to cultivate step by step.

Within the Dantian, a faint glow emanated from the dark crystals infused with Inner Qi. Over these past days, the energies within had coalesced into a minuscule point of light. Lu Xia Tian let out a long sigh. In the distance, a blue light barrier shimmered, intermittently displaying grotesque ghost faces or scenes of shambling corpses.

The Chi-Qing Ape King, the three-pronged corpse ape has been inside for more than half an hour now. For safety's sake, Lu Xia Tian kept a certain distance from the other party.

>ercepted by the other party was inevitable. There were undoubtedly capable individuals within the Heavenly Punishment Palace, but they hadn't shown him sufficient attention before. Once they decided...
