Chapter 3087 - 3062: Senior of the Soul-refining Sect

Chapter 3087: Chapter 3062: Senior of the Soul-refining Sect

Lin Bai looked at the inscriptions on the skeletal arm, which seemed to be recorded by the skeleton before death.

"In the Corpse Burying River, I encountered the Black Warriors. These Black Warriors, within the Corpse Burying River, are uninjured, ageless, indestructible, undying... there’s absolutely nothing that can annihilate them."

"Moreover, the number of Black Warriors here is extremely large, at least a thousand strong!"

"Most of them are at the Peak of the Wending Realm, and some even at the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm!"

"Furthermore... there is presence of the Taoist Realm!"

When Lin Bai saw the words on the arm, his face was shocked.

"There is a Taoist Realm here!" Lin Bai was horrified, looking toward the Corpse Burying River.

Then, Lin Bai continued reading: "I was severely injured by the Black Warriors, unable to escape from the Corpse Burying River. Helplessly, I could only go against the natural order, forcefully diving into the river bottom, using the secret skills of the Soul-refining Sect here, crafting formations with souls to forcefully isolate the heavens and earth, drawing the ground as prison, trapping myself, but actually blocking the pursuit of those Black Warriors."

"I have wandered the Corpse Burying River for many years, according to my investigation, these Black Warriors were originally Warriors, but seemingly suffered a curse, their Divine Souls extracted, yet retaining consciousness and memory, surviving within the Corpse Burying River in an inexplicable form."

"Black Warriors, uninjured, ageless, indestructible, undying..."

"But I know, with my injuries, the chance to escape the Corpse Burying River is extremely difficult, almost impossible to survive!"

"Therefore, I placed a Soul Tool here, established a formation, letting the Soul Tool continuously absorb souls within the Corpse Burying River, empowering the Soul Tool."

"I hope future disciples of the Soul-refining Sect can find this place, return my Soul Tool to the sect."

"My Soul Tool, having absorbed numerous souls in the Corpse Burying River, its power will undoubtedly increase ten thousand fold, but the extent of its power still requires future disciples to determine for themselves."

"Additionally, within the Corpse Burying River, the Black Warrior Clan must be hiding some secret. If future Soul-refining Sect disciples are keen, they may investigate further."

The words on the arm ended here.

Lin Bai exhaled a long breath after reading.

Standing before the skeleton, Lin Bai consolidated all the useful information he had gleaned.

Lin Bai spoke softly: "According to the investigation of this Senior from the Soul-refining Sect, the Black Warrior Clan within the Corpse Burying River seems to have suffered some curse, their Divine Souls extracted, but their consciousness and memories preserved, granting them the power of agelessness, invulnerability, indestructibility, and immortality!"

"Most of the Black Warriors here are at the Peak of the Wending Realm, and some even at the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm!"

"Moreover, there is presence of the Taoist Realm!"

Recalling this passage, Lin Bai couldn’t help but shiver.

A Warrior of the Wending Realm, Lin Bai might still manage to maneuver around.

But once a strong one of the Taoist Realm appeared, Lin Bai might find it difficult to overturn the situation.

Then, Lin Bai looked at the flag leaning behind the skeleton and said lightly: "Senior, I know you are waiting for the Soul-refining Sect disciples to arrive, but unfortunately... the Soul-refining Sect has long vanished on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, let alone Soul-refining Sect disciples, even the Taoist Inheritance of Soul-refining Sect has been destroyed."

"With the Soul-refining Sect extinct now, hoping for a Soul-refining Sect disciple to arrive might be difficult."

"Now that I have discovered your relics, I cannot bear to see the Soul Tool left in such a state."

"This Soul Tool, I will take it temporarily."

Lin Bai bowed respectfully to the skeleton.

Immediately, Lin Bai stepped forward and operated the Secret Skill of the Soul Refining Skill he had just memorized, grasped the large flag, and fiercely pulled, extracting the flag from the altar and holding it in his hand.

The flag stood about two meters high, its banner waving, entirely black, with a face that seemed to be crying but not crying, smiling but not smiling etched upon its surface.

This is the unique artifact of the Soul-refining Sect disciples, known as the Soul Refining Banner.

The Soul Refining Banner, much like the poisons of the Poison God Clan disciples, is their specialty.

All the skills of Soul-refining Sect disciples lie within this Soul Refining Banner.

Holding the Soul Refining Banner, Lin Bai recalled many words he had seen on the jade slip earlier and understood some ways to use the Soul Refining Banner.

But Lin Bai was not in a hurry to try.

Lin Bai’s eyes flickered, whispered: "But the treasure mentioned by Su Xin seems not to be this Soul Refining Banner, but a small tower... seemingly named Fotu Tower."

Lin Bai stored the Soul Refining Banner in the Storage Bag, then glanced around within the Stone Forest a few times, but did not find the location of the Fotu Tower.

Ultimately, Lin Bai returned to the altar, looking at the skeleton.

"Seems like finding the Fotu Tower this time isn’t possible, I’ll have to leave first."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, looking up at the curtain of light above, this spiritual power barrier set by the Senior from the Soul-refining Sect using secret skills, even Black Warriors find it hard to enter here.

As Lin Bai prepared to leave, suddenly behind him, a laughter rang out: "When this person came to the Corpse Burying River, his strength was overwhelming, possessing a Near-Dao Realm strength, at that time, nearly invincible within the Corpse Burying River."

"If it weren’t for you removing the Soul Refining Banner, even I wouldn’t dare to easily come here!"

The voice came slowly.

"Who!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Bai immediately drew his Wooden Sword and looked back.

At this moment, in the dense Stone Forest, came the sound of footsteps.

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed, looking ahead, an old man emerged from the Stone Forest, smiling at Lin Bai.

The old man, skin entirely black, eyes blood-red, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Lin Bai and said, "A clansman reported that a Warrior of the Sky-swallowing Clan arrived, I hardly believed, unexpectedly, it’s true!"

"Long time no see, Sky-swallowing Clan!"

The Black Warrior sneered at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked at the old man’s appearance, not much different from the other Black Warriors, except that the man looked extremely aged.

Lin Bai coldly asked, "Who are you?"

The Black Warrior sighed to the sky, chuckling lightly: "Who am I? Ha, too much time has passed, we’ve stayed within the Corpse Burying River too long, long enough to forget our names and origins!"

"However, Warriors on this continent seem to call us Black Warriors."

"So you can also address us as the Black Warrior Clan."

"I am the Clan Leader of the Black Warrior Clan, you may call me the Black Sky Ancestor."

Lin Bai stared blankly at the old man, coldly saying, "Black Sky Ancestor..."

The Black Warrior laughed lightly: "Indeed, you better remember that name well, because it will be the last name you remember before you die."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai’s face turned cold and horrified as he looked at the Black Sky Ancestor.

From the words of the Black Sky Ancestor, Lin Bai felt a strong murderous intent.
