Chapter 672 Xiao Yan is missing
Zhong Ran's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Like that exquisite jade ginseng we encountered before, which was a thousand years away from surviving, could it also be grown on that?"
"Logically, yes."
This is the wonder of the Nine Heavens Divine Land; even dead trees, flowers, herbs, and other plants can be revived on it.
"However, it takes up space in your dantian. You can't plant all those things in your dantian, can you?"
"Once I comprehend the art of space, I will be able to create a space within my dantian, where I can plant whatever I want."
Both cultivators and beasts with spatial abilities can cultivate a space within their own bodies.
However, cultivators who wish to advance only need to comprehend a little bit of spatial techniques; they do not need to create their own space.
Just like Zhong Ran now understands a little about spatial arts and has met the conditions for ascension, but he still cannot create his own space.
"Yes, we'll try our best."
She still needs to continue to study the art of space; she's not satisfied with just knowing a little bit.
The aura of death ahead was violently surging. When Zhong Ran got closer, he directly activated his Eye of Illusion to look inside.
Inside, there was an old woman, fighting a powerful beast.
It is a ferocious beast formed from the condensation of death energy, and it is extremely powerful.
She suddenly felt fortunate that what she had encountered with Mu Jinning before seemed to be quite gentle.
What this old woman encountered was truly ferocious.
This Nether Beast, capable of fighting her to a standstill, is also extremely powerful.
"It's that old woman."
She and he stood at a distance, not getting any closer. The air there trembled violently, and getting too close felt like being under pressure.
Although they are not afraid of pressure, it is unnecessary.
"Let's go and continue looking for Xiao Yan."
The old woman should stay here and fight well; it's her skill to get out alive.
They should go find Zhong Yan first.
This place is too eerie. If there's any danger, it would be troublesome if Xiao Yan couldn't handle it alone.
After all, even a powerful figure like the old woman could be trapped, so you can imagine how formidable that was.
"Don't worry too much, Xiao Yan should be fine. This is his home turf."
Mu Jinning comforted her, saying that Zhong Yan's strength was probably the strongest among them so far.
This place is filled with the aura of death; it's his domain, and he'll feel very relaxed here.
"Besides, didn't he say before that he sensed something calling to him from inside?"
Despite saying that, Zhong Ran was still worried.
"Let's be careful and take another good look."
As she walked, she continued to sense his presence, trying to see if she could detect his location.
"Try to sense his presence; wherever he goes, he leaves his mark."
Everyone has their own unique aura.
Zhong Ran nodded slightly and urged the chaotic energy to carefully sense the past.
Having spent so much time with Zhong Yan, I am quite familiar with his aura.
To her surprise, after carefully sensing her surroundings, she still found nothing.
She gently shook her head: "We didn't find anything, it's like he never even went inside."
Another possibility is that the deathly aura here erased Zhong Yan's presence.
He gently squeezed her hand, his voice low and deep: "Don't rush, let's look around some more. He's the strongest among us, and he has ways to protect himself, so he'll be fine."
The main reason is that this is Zhong Yan's home turf. In other words, if someone else might get into trouble here, he shouldn't get into trouble either.
"Let's go."
She understood all these principles, and wasn't actually that worried. However, she was a little concerned because Zhong Yan had mentioned sensing something calling to him, and she wondered if something unexpected might happen.
The two continued walking inside, and every now and then some illusions came at them, but they were all directly dispelled by fire.
The aura of death around them gradually thickened until it seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
"Even in the underworld, it wouldn't be easy to have such a dense aura of death, would it?"
Just like the spiritual energy of this world, blessed lands still exist, but it's not easy to find them as abundant as this one.
But this forest is filled with such a dense aura of death that it seems to turn into mist, which is very strange.
"This entire forest is shrouded in a great formation, preventing the death energy inside from escaping, and it may even attract death energy from the surrounding area."
Mu Jinning slowly analyzed: "Ranran, do you still remember the yin energy and death energy in that valley before?"
"You mean, it's possible to gather those things together from here as well?"
"It is highly likely, even possible, that this place is connected to some blessed land in the underworld."
He paused, his voice changing tone: "Could it be that Xiao Yan sensed the summoning, which might be from the Underworld?"
Zhong Ran paused, slowly turned to look at him, and her voice changed: "You mean, Xiao Yan may have left this place and gone to another realm?"
It's not impossible; they came up from below because of a dust storm in that desert.
Mu Jinning looked at her without saying anything, and she didn't say anything either. The two walked inside in silence.
There was a peculiar aura ahead, and the two of them slowed down at the same time. Zhong Ran even activated her Eye of Illusion to look in that direction.
Upon seeing this, her heart sank.
"There's a big pit ahead, filled with bones. The aura of death seems to be coming from there."
It felt really strange.
"Skeletons? They're all in here?"
Mu Jinning tightened her grip on her hand and quickened her pace forward a few steps.
They had been curious before, but they hadn't found any remains inside.
No, that's not right. Later on, we encountered both bone people and bone beasts.
But at that time, those bone people and bone beasts were all in combat mode, which was quite unexpected.
Moreover, they also noticed that after the bone people and bone beasts were scattered, they would fly away again.
Could it be that they all eventually fly into this place?
Zhong Ran wasn't sure if everything was inside, but she led the way in that direction.
Along the way, countless remnant souls and their resentment rushed towards them.
Flames suddenly erupted from her body, protecting the two of them.
Those things not only couldn't get close, but they also had to retreat quickly, otherwise they would be burned to ashes.
"It seems that the root of the problem lies here."
Zhong Ran's illusory eyes looked inside and immediately saw the problem.
"There is a huge formation here that gathers souls and energy, and there is also a puppet formation."
Her voice was full of curiosity: "Moreover, these formations are all very advanced."
"Does the unorthodox path also have advanced formation masters?"
She pulled Mu Jinning, turning left and right, closer to the large pit inside.
As they drew closer, they began to encounter attacks from bone people and bone beasts.
Neither of them showed any politeness and started burning it directly.
Because of their direct and brutal attack, the bone beasts and bone people dared not approach any further.
After all, their ability to attack is sustained by the aura of death.
