chapter 447: chapter 144: a cultivator who can strike at will
qi yuanshu listened, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly before he asked:
“is there really no other way, or can we not escape from here?”
jian yunxiang then shook his head and said:
“escape?”
“impossible…”
“in the devouring spirit blood realm, surviving is already quite difficult, let alone escaping, it’s simply not possible.”
“up to now, including your batch, almost seven hundred people have been sent into the devouring spirit blood realm.”
“many have tried to escape, but so far, not one has succeeded…”
“those who attempted to flee either returned in desperation or became a blood corpse.”
lin jing fell silent for a moment before asking jian yunxiang with a frown:
“seven hundred people?”
“that many cultivators have entered this devouring spirit blood realm?”
jian yunxiang nodded and said:
“yes…”
“and of those seven hundred, now alive, at most not more than two hundred.”
“the rest have all turned into blood corpses; it must be said, you two are rather lucky.”
“i estimate of your batch of over one hundred thirty people, after one night, at most only thirty percent might survive, which is already considered good.”
“the others have either been killed or, without guidance, were taken away by blood corpses at night.”
at this, lin jing became puzzled:
“isn’t it said that fighting is not allowed within the devouring spirit blood realm, how can there still be people daring to kill others?”
“aren’t they afraid that fighting will attract blood corpses?”
jian yunxiang explained:
“fighting is fine if the noise is kept within a certain range.”
“many of those who rob and kill have specialized cultivation techniques that make very little noise, hardly attracting blood corpses.”
“moreover, they tend to strike fatally and decisively, giving no chance for their victims to react.”
“therefore, while in this devouring spirit blood realm, upon encountering other cultivators, you must be even more cautious. there might be some who will take advantage of your unguarded moments to launch a sneak attack…”
after saying this, jian yunxiang looked at lin jing and qi yuanshu before saying:
“remember, there are several types of cultivators it’s best not to provoke if you can help it.”
“which types of cultivators?” qi yuanshu asked afterward.
jian yunxiang then said:
“first, there are the puppet cultivators.”
“this type of cultivator is the most sinister, often manipulating puppets to do evil at night.”
“thus, many cultivators try to keep their distance from them, because, as long as you’re out of the range of their puppet control, there’s not much trouble.”
“second are the body refinement cultivators.”
“body refinement cultivators often don’t use spells as their means of attack and are ruthless in their actions, typically able to kill without causing much disturbance.”
“moreover, body refinement cultivators are incredibly tough. there was once a puppet cultivator who tried to kill a body refinement cultivator at night by using the power of a blood corpse.”
“but that body refinement cultivator was terrifying. he endured the attacks of the blood corpse, found the puppet cultivator’s cave, and killed him inside it.”
“unfortunately, that body refinement cultivator ultimately could not withstand the blood corpse and, after running out of spiritual power, turned into a corpse and was taken away by the blood corpse.”
“however, since then, puppet cultivators have been frightened, and very few have dared to provoke body refinement cultivators.”
……
upon hearing this, qi yuanshu couldn’t help but exclaim:
“body refinement cultivators are this formidable within the devouring spirit blood realm? to endure the attacks of blood corpses and forcefully kill a puppet cultivator…”
jian yunxiang nodded and said:
“that puppet cultivator was just unlucky to have provoked that particular body refinement cultivator.”
“it is said that the body refinement cultivator must have cultivated a secret technique that allowed him to forcefully elevate his divine sense to the nascent soul realm, barely resisting the soul-eating spirits’ interference with his divine sense, maintaining clarity for a short time.”
“that’s how he was able to find the puppet cultivator and take him down.”
hearing this, qi yuanshu became even more confused.
therefore, he asked jian yunxiang:
“brother jian, what are soul-eating spirits?”
lin jing, however, remembered the strange malicious spirits attached to the blood corpses, presuming that they must be the soul-eating spirits…
jian yunxiang then explained:
“soul-eating spirits are generally attached to blood corpses. the hallucinations and various auditory illusions you experienced in the cave are all caused by soul-eating spirits.”
“these soul-eating spirits are quite formidable; golden core cultivators have a hard time avoiding their influence on divine sense, and even divine sense at the nascent soul stage can possibly be affected if caught off guard.”
“however, it has been tested by cultivators that if one’s divine sense is stronger than that of the nascent soul stage and one remains fully alert, it is possible to be unaffected by these soul-eating spirits.”
“divine sense strength of the nascent soul stage…” qi yuanshu said, “i’m afraid that only those cultivators who specifically cultivate divine sense can achieve that level…”
jian yunxiang nodded and said:
“pretty much, but there are always some cultivators who possess certain special talents…”
qi yuanshu nodded and then continued to ask:
“besides puppet and body refinement cultivators, what other types of cultivators can attack people without any scruples?”
jian yunxiang continued:
“third, those who cultivate gu and poisons, these cultivators rely on special attack methods, and the disturbances caused when they release their spells are usually not big.”
“lastly, those other cultivators whose spells are executed quietly with very little commotion…”
