Chapter 223: Sword Pointing at the Hundred Tempering Mountain (1/2)

As they spoke, these two souls started to wail like ghosts, looking extremely sad.

At this moment, Jiang Li was slightly able to discern that some methods had been used on the two evil spirits.

They were clearly demonic cultivators who had no moral bottom line and committed almost all kinds of crimes. However, after more than a hundred years, not only did they not repay kindness with ingratitude, but they were also so loyal. It was really not logical.

They should have been affected by some obscure power that caused them to become like this.

”Alright, what did he ask you to bring me? Where is it now? Tell me clearly after you're done crying.”

Qin Shuman hurriedly interrupted the two ghosts that were showing deep emotions and asked for key information.

Under the influence of the spider lily, they did not discover the loophole in their ”Miss”'s words. They cried and spat out some key information.

It turned out that the Twin Devils and the Golden Core zombie demon were both from a demonic sect called the Corpse Burial Ground.

The strength of this Corpse Burial Ground was not very strong, and it was only equivalent to the level of a second-rate sect.

The strongest person in the sect was only a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, by chance, they dug out a secret beast skin scroll from their mountain of corpses.

On it, the method to create an ancient immortal artifact was recorded!

That was a divine immortal artifact used by Immortals and Buddhas. How could the Sect Master not be tempted? He immediately mobilized the power of the entire sect to start building the immortal artifact.

After nearly a hundred years of hard work and using a precious thousand-year-old Bloodsucking Wood as material, they finally forged the prototype of an immortal artifact.

This was none other than the Yin Burial Coffin that Jiang Li and the others were currently in.

However, due to the problem of materials and technology, the final product of this coffin had only reached the level of high-grade Profound-rank.

Although this was already quite powerful, there was actually still a chance for the Yin Burial Coffin to advance further.

This was because this coffin was still in its initial form. There were still seven key coffin nails missing!

At that time, before the Corpse Burial Ground was destroyed, it had only created one coffin nail. Then, it was attacked by the Demon Vanquishing Team of the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

The Sect Master of the Corpse Burial Ground used the coffin nail to face the enemy. The daughter of the Sect Master fled thousands of miles with the Yin Burial Coffin. Then, the 'loyal' Twin Devils fled with the secret beast skin scroll!

This was to split the risk. Even if the sect was defeated, they could not let the enemy obtain everything easily!

As for the thing the Twin Devils wanted to hand over to the Golden Core zombie demon, it was the secret beast skin scroll.

Unfortunately, the Golden Core zombie demon was very unlucky. It had only escaped for a few days before it arrived at the Mother River and was captured by the thing in the underwater graveyard.

Not only had she lost her life, but she had also been turned into a zombie demon. The Yin Burial Coffin was buried underwater for a hundred years and was finally obtained by Jiang Li.

Their young lady had actually died a hundred years ago. How could the Twin Devils find her?

Only now did Jiang Li understand. It turned out that the reason why this coffin could successfully trigger its advancement was not only because of Jiang Li's large investment, but also because of the coffin itself.

It had the potential to become an Earth-rank artifact or become even stronger. This was why it could successfully advance after reaching the requirements.

However, Jiang Li thought for a moment. Earlier, when he killed these two people, he did not find any beast skin scroll on them.

After asking again, he realized that they did not bring such a treasure with them.

Instead, they had found another hiding place long ago and sealed the memory in their souls.

If they did not see ”Miss”, they would not remember where the secret scroll was hidden.

After asking for the detailed address, Jiang Li handed these two True Cores to Qin Shuman.

This Seven Roads Ghost City Lord had followed him for a period of time. It could be said that she had worked hard without complaints.

She was the one training the ghost soldiers, she was the one managing the ghost market, she was the one serving tea, and she was the one in charge of the Green Mountain Residence. She was really like a brick, useful in every place.

Jiang Li was also thinking of rewarding her and strengthening this beautiful and useful tool.

It just so happened that these two True Cores were filled with impurities. Jiang Li did not fancy them at all, so he rewarded them to Qin Shuman.

Ghosts grew very quickly. Qin Shuman was talented, and with the help of the dense spiritual qi and Yin qi in the Yin Burial Coffin, her cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds during this period of time. She was about to form a Ghost Core.

Now that she had obtained two True Cores, it would not be difficult for her to break through and form the Ghost Core herself.

After she formed the Ghost Core, she could use the Shu Mountain's Illusory Art Life Record to help Jiang Li even more.

...

After another two days of emergency preparations, there were only three days left until the agreed meeting deadline of seven days.

On the Shu Mountain side, with Daoist Wushe personally taking action, they naturally placed great importance on it. There were no problems, and after understanding the situation, they could not reject him.

Although the recent operation to hunt down Zuo Mo and Zuo Luo, the two Golden Core cultivators, had implicated a portion of their strength, this was more urgent. Shu Mountain still sent many cultivators to participate in this.

In the Scripture Storage Valley, a total of 25 warships slowly rose into the sky. The spiritual qi fluctuation that they emitted caused the weather to change and it was a strange sight!

Along the way, such a fleet shocked countless birds and beasts, but these demons of all sizes were still quite discerning. Not many dared to go up and seek death.

The huge flying ship carried a large number of elite cultivators towards the Hundred Tempering Mountain!

Jiang Li stood on the front-most ship of the Scripture Storage Valley's fleet with a group of sect disciples.

In this battle, Foundation Establishment cultivators were already the weakest of the group. If the outer sect Qi Refinement realm disciples went over, they would be courting death. Therefore, all the people going were inner sect disciples.

Jiang Li had never seen many of these disciples before. Many of them had been out adventuring for a long time. Now that the sect had summoned them, they hurriedly rushed over.

However, while Jiang Li did not know them, they were all very interested in him.

After all, how could a new disciple who had just entered the sect for a year receive such praise?

Among them, there were some disciples who had entered the sect earlier. Like Chu Yunxuan and Xiang Yuanba, their cultivation had already reached the Core Formation realm. They were the backbone of the sect's next generation.

They were more or less judging Jiang Li, the junior.

This was especially true for a few people from the Heaven and Earth Hall. Their eyes never left Jiang Li.

As the flying ship sped through the air, the flying ship fleet arrived at their destination within the scheduled time.

From afar, one could already feel a wave of heat spreading in the air.

In the endless mountains, a volcano was steadily erupting.

That was the location of the Hundred Tempering Mountain's base sect, a terrifying volcano connected to the lava earth vein, the Earth Fire Hundred Cave Mountain!

Endless heat was released from that mountain, and thick smoke and fire spewed out continuously from the hundreds of mountain passes.

This continuous eruption caused everything within a hundred miles to be enveloped in a layer of crimson thick smoke.

All plants and animals had died in this environment. They were covered in thick volcanic ash, maintaining their final struggle before death.

Without even thinking, they knew that this volcanic smoke definitely had its uses for war. It was the first line of defense for the Hundred Tempering Mountain to defend against their attacks.

As expected, they were already prepared for war.

After suffering such a loss, the Scripture Storage Valley and Benevolent Travel Temple would definitely attack the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

The alliance army definitely had the advantage in numbers, but the other party was already prepared. They could only attack head-on.

How could it be so easy to break through the base of the Hundred Tempering Mountain which was one of the four major sects of the Great Mountain Region?

Jiang Li tried to contact a parasitized cultivator in the Hundred Tempering Mountain. The other party was still alive, but under the array formation that was currently activated at full power, the communication spirit stones could not connect with each other. He could not send out much information at all.
