”Cough, cough!”

It seemed that his physical body had reached its limit.

In the depths of the forest, after a series of coughs, Qin Shaojie was also gasping for breath under a huge tree root. Sweat continuously dripped down from his face, and his entire person seemed a little pale.

This was the Mulan Valley, which was hundreds of miles away from the Tiangyou City, an area that belonged to the Black Wind Ridge in Yellow Rock City. Although Yellow Cliff City was undoubtedly much more powerful than the Tiangyou City in terms of area, population, or strength of its warriors, Black Wind Ridge was extremely sparsely populated. As for Tianxiong Valley, it was a place that was devoid of people all year round, and even Three Spiritual Realms experts would not be willing to step foot into it so easily.

It was a pity that this place had once experienced a huge massacre, and was said to have suffered countless deaths and injuries. Who knew how many people had died here, and the corpses were scattered all over the Black Wind Ridge, with the Heavenly Abyss Valley having the most of them.

A hundred years ago, a brave warrior had accidentally stepped into this place, only to discover that every place in Black Wind Ridge was filled with bones, filled with a cold and gloomy aura. These aura were like a ghost, constantly eroding his soul, making him feel as if he was in a purgatory, surrounded by countless ghosts.

The fear in the Ninja's heart escaped but he died.

However, this frightful place made Qin Shaojie's plans to head towards the Holy Flame Academy come to a temporary stop. This was because this ominous place, in the eyes of ordinary people, was a good place for the current Qin Shaojie.

If this place was only filled with Yin energy from the corpses that were buried, Qin Shaojie would not be interested in it at all. But when he coincidentally heard from Elder Ye about the circumstances of the Sky Luan Abyss, Qin Shaojie had a guess as to why it was buried here, and if his guess was correct, then this place would be the place where Qin Shaojie had reversed his fate in this lifetime.

The biggest problem for him right now was that he did not have a spirit soul, so he was unable to condense profound energy. In this kind of situation, it was even less likely for him to restore his remnant soul and find his original ”Taixuan Classic”, but this Sky Stream Valley gave Qin Shaojie a chance.

When he truly stepped into the Black Wind Ridge, a wave of chilliness arrived. This kind of chilliness was not simply due to the temperature dropping, but it was very uncomfortable. Qin Shaojie was sure that it was Baleful Yin Force from his past life's experiences. Only the depletion of the dead's accumulated yang energy could possibly cause the yin qi to swirl around.

It was just that under normal circumstances, this kind of Yin Energy was extremely rare, even the Tiangyou City's Death Tomb back then did not have it. After all, there were Yin Yang energies in a person's body, and the dead Yang energies would dissipate. If one wanted to leave Yin Qi behind, it was a matter of life and death, or having a formation, and also having a special geographical position.

Without the protection of Xuan Qi, the only way to protect the body from the Yin Qi was to keep the body in a high tension and continuously release heat to protect it from all kinds of attacks.

After entering Black Wind Ridge, Qin Shaojie never stopped moving. They continued to flee in the direction that Elder Ye had mentioned earlier, in the direction of the Tianxiong Abyss.

His speed was not slow at all. It was as if he was a wild beast traversing through the forest of Black Winds Ridge.

These wild beasts were huge in size and their attacks were swift and fierce. They were filled with hostility towards humans, and Qin Shaojie had encountered quite a few wild beasts within Black Wind Ridge.

Fortunately, although the wild beast was fierce, Qin Shaojie was still at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm. With the addition of his unique fighting technique, even though he looked a little battered, he could at least preserve his life.

After the last vexation of the body dissipated, Qin Shaojie also truly fused with the body and completely gained control of it. That kind of control over movement was far from something that he could compare to before.

However, when Qin Shaojie barely managed to go through Sky Mulan Continent, he seemed to be exhausted. He did not stop at all, and the consumption of his physical strength almost made him unable to hold on.

It was a good thing that Qin Shaojie's will was firm. Otherwise, if Tianxiang Abyss was even further away, even Qin Shaojie himself wasn't sure if he would be able to hold on.

What appeared in front of Qin Shaojie was an enormous ravine, roughly thirty meters wide, that was spread out to more than a thousand meters long. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed as though it was forcefully cut open by a sharp sword.

The ravine was shrouded by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see what was inside. However, there was not a single blade of grass growing around the ravine. It was as bare as a desert and seemed out of place in the surrounding forest.

However, it was at this place that a hint of excitement flashed in Qin Shaojie's eyes.

Because according to what Elder Ye said, this was most likely the very place where everyone feared the most, the Sky Mulan Continent.

Legend has it that at least tens of thousands of corpses were buried here, and there were even a few Three Spiritual Realms s.
