Chapter 315: The I Daxian [1]
It was dusk in the Black Lands The sky was pocked with darkness, the land beneath was pitch black Everything felt desolate
No mortals could be seen; it was difficult for them to survive in an environment like this This area was occupied for the most part by Cultivators If you did occasionally encounter mortals, they would be descendants of Cultivator Clans, powerfully built, with hearty Qi and blood
When Meng Hao entered the Black Lands, he looked back for a moment, and a flash of suspicion appeared on his face For so this land, there was some sort of invisible thread attached to his body that had been covered up
Before entering the Black Lands, he had been unable to detect it; however, as soon as it was covered up, he could
Meng Hao htfully as the vines carried hihts His eyes glittered as he cast his Spiritual Sense about
The region three hundred meters in all directions suddenly appeared in his mind
“I need to find a quiet place where I can recuperate… I remember that Zhou Dekun[1 Zhou Dekun was the old Furnace Lord fro Hao initially hated but eventually befriended He was kidnapped by Black Lands Cultivators and never seen or heard froain] was taken to the Black Lands… Furthermore, there should be information about the Eyeless Larva[2 The Eyeless Larva was talked about mostly in Chapter 165] here I wonder if I’ll be able to refine one” Meng Hao once again produced Ji Hongdong’s bag of holding TheHao was able to suppress it slightly, but was unable to open the bag He could tell that if he was able to suppress the seal for long enough, then he would be able to
A long tiain closed his eyes He allowed the vines to continue forithout rest Soon, more than a month had passed
Occasionally he would encounter some Black Lands Cultivators They were for the most part skinny and bony, with an intensely fiendish aura They were usually alone, or rarely, in groups of three or five To Meng Hao, most of them seemed like lone wolves
This was very different than the Southern Do the line between life and death The only way to ensure continued existence was to soak one’s hands in blood
However, despite their ferocity, when the local Cultivators saw Meng Hao, their pupils would constrict Meng Hao’s white hair was very conspicuous as it billowed around his head Combined with the paleness of his face, it left people with a very ghastly i vines, the entire picture was one of powerfulHao emanated the aura of Core Formation, as well as the reek of blood Anyone who saw him would immediately come to the conclusion that he was someone not to be trifled with
Even so the aura of his Cultivation base, would hesitate for a et out of his way
In the Black Lands, killing was a constant part of life, and it was co Hao traveled, he saw dozens of vicious ical battles between Cultivators He also saw quite a few deaths Based on his observations, he quickly ca of the Black Lands
What he found the strangest was that after a ilance, no one from the Ji Clan came in pursuit of him He couldn’t help but think of the invisible thread that had been covered up the moment he entered the Black Lands
He hesitated for aon “Could it be that the thread appeared after I killed Ji Hongdong? Is it a mark that the Ji Clan can use to track me down? If that’s the case, ould it be covered up when I entered the Black Lands?”
Tione by Compared to the Southern Doh, Meng Hao found that there weren’t verysee was empty and desolate The soil was pitch black, permeated with oppressive, deathly stillness Even fewer places were filled with spiritual energy Thankfully, Meng Hao currently didn’t have any strong requireed on the vines, he suddenly opened his eyes to look off into the distance
With his Spiritual Sense, he could see a short mountain about forty kilometers away, as well as a simple Immortal’s cave The Immortal’s cave wasn’t located within the mountain, but rather, underneath it, al, the waters of which had pooled together to form a cistern
The waters of the cistern were muddy and foul, and the whole area was littered with ani Hao weren’t specifically looking for a place to rest and restore his health, he would most likely have overlooked a location like this
“Actually, it’s not that bad,” he thought He transmitted his will to the vines, and they moved off in the direction of the short mountain
Soon thereafter, he arrived in the area He approached on foot, allowing the vines to burron into the soil and conceal theh the weeds, passing the cistern As he did, he noticed a s fro a cruel and vicious air
Meng Hao ignored it, flying up in the air to inspect the mountain Afterward, he fleard a wide fissure on the surface of the mountain, a look of satisfaction on his face
The jagged fissure led doard, and it took only a moment for the main door of the I Hao waved his hand, causing the door to tremble, then slowly open
The I inside was covered in dust Apparently it hadn’t been occupied for soh some aura of the fifth or sixth level of Qi Condensation still lingered inside It appeared that the original owner of the cave didn’t have a very high Cultivation base
After looking around for aup that instantly cleared away the dust and the da, deep breath A thoughtful look filled his eyes, after which his hand flashed in an incantation gesture and he waved his finger toward the ical sy it
“My injuries are currently about fifty percent healed I really was seriously hurt this time…” He produced some medicinal pills, consumed them, and then closed his eyes to an to recover
