Chapter 113 The Spirit of Extinction
Han Mujiao scratched his head. "That's true. Even saints have selfish desires, let alone ordinary people."
So what's going on?
"Never mind, let's keep going."
None of them could explain why, so Yun Zhao simply stopped them from wasting their brain cells.
After walking a while longer, they came to five forks in the road. There were footprints near each fork, indicating that the people ahead had each chosen a different path.
Yun Zhao looked at Qi Yan, "A Yan, which way should we go?"
She wanted Qi Yan to foresee which path to take to find the Demon-Transforming Grass.
Qi Yan thought for a moment, then pointed to the road on the left, "This one."
"You predicted it again?"
Qi Yan honestly replied, "No, I just picked it randomly. Zhao Zhao, I've noticed that my precognitive abilities have been intermittent since I entered the Lingxu Palace."
Yun Zhao's face immediately fell. "Huh? Does that mean we have to search the entire Lingxu Palace to find the Demon Transformation Grass?"
Although Qi Yan had warned her beforehand that his precognitive abilities were unreliable, she still held onto the hope that his precognitive abilities would disappear after they found the Demon-Transforming Grass.
Qi Yan was also helpless. In his previous life, he had only come into contact with the world outside of Lingxu Palace. At that time, he was really unlucky and missed the time to enter Lingxu Palace.
He only found out about the two attacks with hidden weapons when he entered Lingxu Palace after hearing about it later.
After that, he didn't know.
Yun Zhao quickly consoled himself, "Forget it, maybe we'll get lucky and find it soon. Ah Yan, let's take this route then."
After saying that, Qi Yan nodded, took the lighting artifact, and walked in front of Yun Zhao, telling Yun Zhao to follow closely behind him.
The road was still pitch black, and there were occasional traps along the way, but Qi Yan dealt with them all with ease.
Whether it was Yun Zhao's imagination or not, she glanced ahead and seemed to see light shining through.
“Ayan,” she tugged at Qiyan’s sleeve, “Are we almost at the exit? There seems to be light there.”
Qi Yan followed her gaze and asked in confusion, "Where is it? I can't see it?"
“It’s right there,” Yun Zhao pointed ahead, “there’s a small point of light there.”
Qi Yan said he didn't see anything, and when he asked Han Mu Jiao and Bi Tong Hu, they also said they didn't see any light.
The three of them spoke with such certainty that Yun Zhao began to doubt whether she was seeing things.
I rubbed my eyes, but found that the light was still in front of me.
"What's the point of agonizing over this?" Han Mujiao clicked his tongue. "Why don't we just go and take a look?"
Also.
However, to avoid the possibility that it was a trap or a mechanism, Qi Yan became more vigilant.
They quickly arrived at the location of the light spot that Yun Zhao had mentioned, but unfortunately, it was not the exit. Moreover, as they got closer, Qi Yan and the other two said they couldn't see anything there.
All they saw was a wall.
Yun Zhao stared at the point of light for a full five seconds, and then she made her decision.
"Ayan, help me dig this up and take a look."
If she doesn't figure out what the light spots are, she'll probably be so conflicted that she won't be able to sleep for many days to come!
Qi Yan didn't ask why, and drew the Blood-Drinking Sword and slashed wildly, making such a commotion that even the Blood-Drinking Sword was alerted.
Yin Xue and Fu Guang have been in seclusion recently and haven't come out. This time, Qi Yan caused such a big commotion that Yin Xue finally came out to take a look.
Is this unscrupulous owner about to encounter a powerful enemy and perish?
Although it resented its unscrupulous master always monopolizing the mistress, he was still its master. Bloodthirsty hurriedly emerged from the sword, only to find—
Are you OK!
Blood Drinker was speechless. "Why are you chopping at walls for no reason? This spirit sword is for chopping walls!"
Oh, so the lady of the house told you to chop it?
That's all, let's continue.
Yin Xue ran into Yun Zhao's arms, and after being petted and stroked by her for a while, she returned to her spirit sword to cultivate, completely satisfied.
The wall was exceptionally hard; it took Qi Yan a long time to finally manage to cut a small crack in it.
As if possessed, Yun Zhao pried open the crevice with her hand, and instantly, a large piece of stone was broken off.
Qi Yan: "???"
So what's the point of me going through all that trouble to chop so many times?
It was still useful. Yun Zhao praised him for a while. If it weren't for the fact that it was relatively dark here even with lighting artifacts, the man's flushed cheeks would have been impossible to hide.
Yun Zhao used his bare hands to break the stones, and pulled out about a dozen. Qi Yan then exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Zhao, I saw the light spot you mentioned."
Hearing him say that, Yun Zhao reached into his pocket again, and finally, the light spot revealed its true form to the group.
Yun Zhao looked at the unknown thing, thought for a moment, took out a twig from her storage bag, and gently poked it.
The thing moved, revealing its true form.
It was a little thing that looked like a ghost, white and green, chubby, with its two little hands holding its plump body. It looked like it had just woken up and was frightened by these outsiders.
The Cold Wood Dragon stared at its big eyes and examined it carefully. "Little Zhao Zhao, I think I know what this is."
Before Yun Zhao could ask, Han Mujiao said, "This is the Spirit of Extinction. How could there be a Spirit of Extinction in this place? Wasn't it already gone?"
Yun Zhao asked, "Uncle Jiao, what is a Spirit of Extinction? I don't think I've seen it in the Encyclopedia of Monsters."
Then she asked Qi Yan, who also said he didn't know.
"The Spirit of Extinction is not a monster, so of course you haven't seen it. This story goes back to a very, very long time ago."
Speaking of this, a hint of apprehension and fear flashed in Hanmujiao's eyes. Yun Zhao was very curious about what exactly the Spirit of Extinction was. Hanmujiao was fearless, so how could it make it afraid?
"A thousand years ago, something called the Aura of Annihilation suddenly appeared in the cultivation world. Wherever it went, nothing grew and cries of desolation filled the land."
"It's a strange kind of spiritual energy that can't be absorbed by humans or beasts. In fact, once you touch it, it will turn into ashes and disappear into the world!"
Speaking of the terror of the Annihilation Aura, Han Mujiao shuddered.
"Of course, it's not that scary at first; the terrible consequences only come after you've been exposed to it for a while."
"At that time, the cultivators and demons did not know how terrifying it was, and they were determined to drive it away. But after paying a heavy price, they were all afraid."
"The aura of destruction permeates everywhere, leaving cultivators and demonic beasts nowhere to hide. They can only send a portion of their elite disciples and descendants into various secret realms to escape."
Speaking of this, Hanmujiao wiped his eyes, "Our Hanmujiao clan was originally very prosperous, but it was because of that disaster that we were almost wiped out."
"Humans, demons, and beasts are all suffering heavy losses. Otherwise, their overall strength wouldn't be so strong, with the strongest being at the Void Refinement stage."
Yun Zhao knew this. The sect leaders of the four major sects were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and there were also Supreme Elders in the sects whose cultivation was at the Void Refinement stage.
