Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 679: Chapter 613: Abyssal Ecology, Swapping Beams for Pillars (Combined Chapter)_2

He felt that it wouldn’t take long before he could determine the location of Elder Bi and his group, striving to reunite with them as soon as possible.

On this day.

Lin Xuan led the team searching in the Shisu District, with Lou Yi, He Shuli, and Qin Dong spreading out, no more than three miles apart, ready to support each other in case of emergencies.

As for Elder Gui, he had already resigned from his position as ’mentor for newcomers’ half a month ago.

Venturing alone to farther locations from the group to seek opportunities and efficiency in searches.

Elder Gui was the oldest cultivator in the team, over two hundred years old, experienced, and resourceful, so the team wasn’t worried about his safety.

But half a day passed, and as time approached the night in Tianyuan, Elder Gui had yet to return, causing unease among the team.

“Why hasn’t Elder Gui returned yet?” Lin Xuan furrowed his brows, “He told me he was heading southeast; why don’t I go find him there?”

“Let’s go together; there’s strength in numbers, easier to find him,” Lou Yi suggested.

Just as they were about to set off, they heard familiar hurried footsteps, and their expressions relaxed.

By then, Elder Gui’s clothes were somewhat damaged, with a thin trace of blood on his face, but he looked quite excited and whispered to the team, “I’ve found the big ones!”

“What?” Lin Xuan became excited upon hearing it, “What kind of big ones?”

“A spiritual creature with cultivation not much different from ours, and below it, a bunch of smaller ones… if we capture and kill them, our team could save at least twenty years of hard work!”

“What are we waiting for then?” Lin Xuan’s twin skyward braids bobbed eagerly, wanting Elder Gui to lead the way.

“Don’t rush, it’s night now; go back and have a good rest, and set out again tomorrow with your wife,” Elder Gui smiled. “The place is extremely concealed, and I was lucky to find it.

Moreover, I’ve set up an array to cover the aura; other teams surely can’t find it in a short time!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan stopped reluctantly.

Then shouted, “Rise early tomorrow, no one is allowed to oversleep!”

“At your command, chief!” Elder Lin’s old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

“Alright.”

“No problem.”

Everyone responded positively.

Even the seldom-speaking yellow-faced man Qin Dong showed a faint smile.

The cultivators above the Perfect Dao Foundation wouldn’t come to Tianyuan for anything but seeking opportunities to enhance their cultivation.

Heaven and Earth Wonders are fleeting and unsearchable; a powerful spiritual creature is already the best substitute to find at ordinary times.

The next day, early in the morning.

The team of six embarked energetically from the cave toward the southeastern area.

All they could see was gray mist, and nobody’s sight could extend beyond one mile.

This was Tianyuan, perpetually shrouded in an unseen mist, leaving ordinary people touching only the tip of the iceberg.

The group followed Elder Gui, maintaining a steady pace while remaining vigilant and constantly observing the surroundings.

After several hours of walking, they arrived at the location he discovered yesterday.

But several miles from the destination, Elder Gui’s expression changed, looking uneasy.

“Strange, I can’t sense the array I set up.”

“What? Let’s check it out!” Lin Xuan impatiently dashed forward, taking the lead.

Ding Shiniang worried about any mishap and followed closely.

Upon reaching the site, large clusters of several-zhang-high rocks were everywhere.

The nest of the spiritual beings was in a crevice below one of the rocks.

It was a relief for the team to find no other people around.

Two spiritual creatures, resembling horses and about four to five feet in length, leisurely strolled outside, utterly unaware of anyone approaching.

“Isn’t the array still here?” Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed gold, then bewilderedly asked.

“The critical point is, this isn’t the array I set up,” Elder Gui replied bitterly. “Someone else has broken my array and set up a screening array around it.

It conceals the cultivator’s divine sense while not hindering the spirits’ movements.”

“That guy didn’t expect us to come so quickly,” Ding Shiniang sneered. “Let’s act swiftly and slay these spiritual creatures.”

“Alright!”

Realizing that other forces knew the whereabouts of the spiritual creatures, the team grew tense, not daring to delay.

’Swish!’

Lin Xuan was the first to strike, launching two beams of gold light that shattered the nearby array and obliterated the heads of the two dazed rock horses.

Two gentle white spiritual lights drifted out, absorbed by an emerald jade bottle.

Beside the rock horses, a crevice hidden under a giant stone suddenly stirred, with plenty of spiritual creatures ready to rush out.

“Seal this entrance, catch them like fish in a barrel!” Ding Shiniang yelled sharply.

Her robust Spiritual Essence surged, forming a huge blue water prison in mid-air, covering the giant stone and the crevice below.

Even though several rock horses charged out, they merely splashed against the water prison without breaking it.

“Make it quick; eliminate all of them!”

As the team prepared to strike, a fast-approaching sound of footsteps emerged from the gray mist nearby, indicating several people rushing in.

“Stop!”

An enraged voice was heard.

Ding Shiniang ignored the interruption, launching a pea-sized transparent droplet from her fingertip, imbued with unimaginable gravity.
