Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 678: Chapter 613: Abyssal Ecology, Swapping the Pillars (Merged Chapter)

Taunt: Can incite anger and other negative emotions within the enemy’s heart, achieving the effect of slightly affecting their mind and judgment.

Another new talent?

Lou Yi didn’t hesitate and directly chose the Taunt talent.

From the introduction, this talent seems unremarkable, but in certain situations, it might come in handy.

Taunt (Uninitiated 0/10) → Taunt (Initiated 0/30+1 Enchanting Heart Flower)

Strange memories appeared in his mind.

In the memories, Lou Yi became an unconscious wandering spirit, drifting to a cemetery heavily laden with yin energy.

Constantly absorbing all kinds of malicious energy, resentment, and hostility, he finally awakened his consciousness after seventy or eighty years and could influence the minds of those entering the cemetery, filling them with negative emotions…

The memories abruptly ended there.

Lou Yi only felt an invisible energy from heaven and earth enter his body.

This energy is different from all the previous ones; neither cold nor hot, it disappeared after entering his body.

It seems to bring no change to his physical body and spirit, but Lou Yi felt that he had undergone some unknown transformation.

In the blue-purple cubic array cage, as the high-tier demon was slain, fewer and fewer lesser demons emerged from the demon lair.

Until no new demons appeared for hundreds of breaths, Lin Xuan, Elder Gui, and others finally dispelled the array.

Each of them let out a long sigh of relief, showing a smile of release.

“These demons are indeed difficult to deal with, only the Thunder Array can be used for eradication, other types of magic are ineffective.”

“Didn’t expect high-tier demons to appear today, almost got a disadvantage from them.”

“Today, more than half of our Spiritual Essence is consumed; we need to return and replenish it well.”

Eradicating demons is a duty, something that must be done.

Teams in the Abyss often regard it as a tough assignment, feeling relaxed once completed.

The other team members were unaware that compared to their task-oriented mindset, Lou Yi even felt a bit unsatisfied.

The recent eradication elevated his energy to over four thousand points; one or two more times could easily surpass ten thousand.

’Maybe, my focus doesn’t have to be fixed on my own team; other teams can also assist me, be used for my benefit…’ Lou Yi thought.

However, he soon realized this could be difficult.

First of all, the Abyss is vast; even a single Su District is bigger than a country in the main world, making it hard to encounter people from other teams.

Secondly, the location of the demon lair in each team’s responsible area tends to be kept secret.

Just like their place of residence, to prevent future calculations by enemies.

Lou Yi wasn’t in a rush; difficult doesn’t mean impossible, opportunities will eventually present themselves to him.

In the days to come, Lou Yi followed Lin Xuan’s team running around.

Most of the time is spent searching for spiritual creatures or seeing if there’s luck in encountering Heaven and Earth Wonders.

At the beginning, middle, and end of each month, magic eradication of demons must be done, along with occasional teasing from Ding Shiniang, life wasn’t boring.

In just over a month, his total energy had reached fifteen thousand.

Progress in condensing the Candle Dragon Acupoint has also been slightly enhanced, equivalent to saving over a year of hard work.

During the search for spiritual creatures, he also encountered several members from other teams in the Shisu District.

Upon sudden encounters, everyone would cautiously keep their distance, nodding in greeting, then immediately dispersing.

In the Abyss, aside from team members, outsiders cannot be trusted.

The human heart is sometimes more terrifying than demons or dark spirits.

During these days, Lou Yi gained some understanding of the ecology in the Shisu District.

Most of the team leaders in the Shisu District possess cultivation levels at the Third Layer of the Spirit Platform, while members tend to be at Dao Base Perfection with one or two Spirit Platform levels.

Lou Yi’s current physical body’s strength should lie between the Second Level and Third Level of the Spirit Platform unless encountering elements that can restrain him.

In the Abyss, this is considered slightly above average.

Among those at the Third Layer of the Spirit Platform, cultivators vary significantly in strength.

Lin Xuan, as well as Ding Shiniang, are clearly much stronger than average Third Layer cultivators.

A few team leaders possess cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

Cultivators like Lu Yun from the Vermillion Bird Sect, whom they encountered before, can definitely rank at the forefront in the Shisu District, even considered experts in the Abyss.

The Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform is a watershed.

Most cultivators honing their skills in the Abyss struggle their whole lives to reach such heights.

Moreover, one more step from the Fourth Layer leads to those with cultivation levels at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

Such individuals can compete for the position of Trench Patrol Guest; as long as they don’t deliberately seek death, they can almost roam unchallenged in the Abyss.

Cultivators at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform can even attempt Thunder Tribulation to impact the Golden Core.

In the history of the Cultivation Realm, many Golden Core cultivators possessed such cultivation levels before breaking through.

Lou Yi had previously seen a Trench Patrol Guest in action.

He knows that the current strength of his physical body is far from those at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

If he could escape under a Fourth Layer’s power, it would be challenging against a Fifth Layer unless he uses his hidden trump card.

’If I could break through to late-stage Martial Saint, or fully transform a single acupoint, my strength should see significant enhancement,’ Lou Yi thought.

It seems clear now that he must maintain a low profile in the Abyss, for there are too many beings or demons that could threaten him.

With continuous interaction in the Abyss, Lou Yi’s connection to the Abyss grew stronger, and the accuracy of his divination talent gradually restored.
