Chapter 2262
A mountain shrouded in divine light appeared in their line of sight.
The burial ground of the God-Slaughtering Sect, the prehistoric ruins, were not the same as what they had seen from the outside.
An inexplicable divine light shrouded the mountains and forests. Above the divine light was an endless expanse of death energy, pressing down like dark clouds, as if it could descend at any moment.
When viewed from the outside, the divine light and death energy were intertwined.
Only when standing before the mountain at this moment did they realize that the divine light and death energy were actually clearly distinct.
It was just like yellow and blue seawater colliding, forming a clear and peculiar boundary line.
The phantasmagoria seen from the outside was simply this boundary line.
Within the divine light, graves stood everywhere, covering the mountains and plains, countless in number.
The mountain was vast, with more mountains behind it, one after another. There was no telling how many graves there were; they seemed infinite.
Behind the mountains, a tall peak loomed hazily. At its summit, a long spear stood inverted, as if wanting to pierce the firmament.
There were many mountains here, unlike what was seen from the outside, which appeared to be only one.
Lin Moyu's gaze was drawn to the mountains, and he drifted off the path unconsciously. His body suddenly sank, and his feet landed heavily on the ground.
Lin Moyu knew that from this moment on, he was truly restricted and unable to fly.
Lu Fengyao and Saintess Xianlian also drifted off the path. The sudden pressure caught them off guard, and they nearly failed to stand steady.
However, these were minor matters; both of their gazes were likewise drawn to the mountains, unable to look away.
Lu Fengyao sighed, "This is completely different from what we saw from the outside."
Saintess Xianlian, while amazed, was also filled with doubt, "It is different from the records, but why would it be like this?"
If the true burial ground of the God-Slaughtering Sect was like this, why had no one known for so many years?
The records they had read previously had been slowly collected by batches of geniuses who had entered here over the past ninety thousand years.
Besides the geniuses, the ancestors of various forces had also entered.
Everyone had seen only one tall mountain, not a range of mountains.
The mountains before them had already formed a massive mountain range.
Saintess Xianlian did not know which was real, but she instinctively felt that what she was seeing now was the true face of the God-Slaughtering Sect.
For a powerful prehistoric sect that possessed experts surpassing the Dao Venerable Realm, how could its burial ground possibly consist of only one mountain?
A mountain range would be more like it. To be precise, even a mountain range would not be enough to contain such a sect.
Lu Fengyao had the same question as Saintess Xianlian, "Indeed, could it be that the information obtained over so many years is all wrong?"
After a moment of thought, Lin Moyu said, "It is not necessarily wrong, because that information was indeed what those people saw."
Lu Fengyao asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Moyu said, "It might just be the difference between walking over and drifting over. Two different methods of travel lead to different results."
"Perhaps I am not necessarily right, but since there have been no results for so many years, we might as well try a different method and test our luck."
The two women felt that what Lin Moyu said was correct. Since there had been no results for ninety thousand years, it was better to try a different way. If a new method couldn't be found, there would be no choice, but since they had found one, they naturally had to give it a try.
Lu Fengyao asked, "How should we proceed from here?"
Lin Moyu had been observing the mountain range ahead, "No rush, let's take a look first."
There were no time limits here; one had to be careful before taking every step.
With a thought from Lin Moyu, ten Skeleton Divine Generals appeared before him and quickly ran toward the front.
Saintess Xianlian said, "You are using summoning magic to scout the path?"
Lin Moyu said, "The road ahead is unknown; it is better than risking our own lives."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu closed his eyes. His vision connected to the Skeleton Divine Generals, using them to observe the situation in the mountains and forests.
Lu Fengyao moved half a step silently, standing in front of Lin Moyu to guard him.
Clack, clack!
The Skeleton Divine Generals were also unable to fly and could only run on the ground. Their bones rubbed together rapidly, making a chilling sound.
The ten Skeleton Divine Generals ran into the mountains and forests, quickly scattering.
If it were not for the presence of Saintess Xianlian, Lin Moyu would not have summoned just ten Skeleton Divine Generals; it could have been thousands or tens of thousands.
Divine light swirled in the mountains and forests, landing on the Skeleton Divine Generals.
The Skeleton Divine Generals immediately felt heavy pressure; their power was being consumed by the divine light.
Soon, the Skeleton Divine Generals were also draped in a layer of faint divine light, and the death energy in the air was attracted by the divine light, slowly descending.
The divine light and death energy intertwined, and the Skeleton Divine Generals seemed to have donned a suit of armor.
Chapter 2794 Scouting the Path, Soul Bug
Lin Moyu clearly sensed all the information transmitted back by the Skeleton Divine Generals.
The divine light brought heavy pressure, while the death energy corroded the physical body and soul…
However, the Skeleton Divine Generals were different from ordinary people. They were undead creatures themselves, and death energy was the one thing they did not lack.
The death energy would not cause any harm to the Skeleton Divine Generals. What they needed to endure was only the pressure brought by the divine light.
But this pressure was not too strong at the moment and could still be endured.
If it were someone else, it would not be the case. The death energy would require them to continuously use their own power to resist it; after a long time, no one would be able to withstand it.
The Skeleton Divine Generals quickly ran to the summit of the first mountain, then crossed over the summit and disappeared from sight, leaving a series of footprints in the mountain forest.
After crossing the mountain, the divine light landing on the Skeleton Divine Generals suddenly became stronger.
The speed of the Skeleton Divine Generals slowed down drastically. Lin Moyu frowned; the magnitude of this increase seemed abnormal.
But for now, he could only continue moving forward.
The Skeleton Divine Generals ran down the bare mountain forest and continued to run forward.
The two mountains on the left and right formed a canyon, which was composed of countless stones, forming a simple path.
These stones must be very sturdy; when the Skeleton Divine Generals stepped on them, no footprints appeared.
The Skeleton Divine Generals leaped and ran between the stones; the divine light grew stronger, and the pressure increased accordingly.
Gradually, the Skeleton Divine Generals found it difficult to jump.
Finally reaching the end of the canyon, a mist formed by the intertwining of divine light and death energy appeared in their line of sight.
The Skeleton Divine Generals braked simultaneously. Through their Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu saw that there were Soul Fires flickering within the mist.
These Soul Fires were extremely faint, so faint that one could not even see them clearly without looking carefully.
However, at the same time he saw them, Lin Moyu felt a hint of danger. With a thought from Lin Moyu, the ten Skeleton Divine Generals split into three groups.
The left and right paths, with three each, ran along the cliffs toward the mountain tops on both sides. They used both hands and feet, moving very quickly.
The other four Skeleton Divine Generals charged toward the mist.
The moment they charged into the mist, the Eye of the Undead became blurry, losing its proper vision. The mist was so thick that they couldn't even see themselves; the Skeleton Divine Generals could only rush forward blindly.
The Skeleton Divine Generals climbing toward the mountain tops along the cliffs on the left and right sides simultaneously looked toward where the mist was located.
However, the route behind the entire canyon was shrouded in mist and could not be seen through at all.
When they climbed to the mountainside, suddenly, the divine light in the mountains and forests flared up.
The divine light, like a fist, slammed into the Skeleton Divine Generals, blasting them directly off the cliff.
The death energy whistled and turned into a gale, sweeping up the Skeleton Divine Generals and throwing them into the mist.
The whole process happened in an instant. The Skeleton Divine Generals hit by the divine light fell into a stalemate and could not move at all, only able to watch helplessly as the death energy threw them into the mist.
Lin Moyu frowned, muttering to himself, "This path is blocked."
Saintess Xianlian heard and asked curiously, "What do you mean this path is blocked?"
Lin Moyu said, "It just means the path is blocked. I will explain later."
He continued to control the Skeleton Divine Generals, exploring within the mist.
The Skeleton Divine Generals thrown into the mist had recovered their ability to move freely. Except for the weight pressing on them getting stronger, there was no other difference.
What happened just now seemed to be telling them that only one path was viable.
After moving forward in the mist for a full half-minute, the Skeleton Divine Generals finally left the mist.
The ten Skeleton Divine Generals, regardless of whether they walked fast or slow, or who was first or last, actually left the mist at the same time.
Surrounded by mountains and forests, after leaving the mist, the Skeleton Divine Generals had arrived deep in the mountain range, with divine light surrounding the stone mountains on all sides.
Looking back, they discovered that there was no mist behind them; there were only stone paths between the mountains.
Each Skeleton Divine General had become a lone soldier; the ten Skeleton Divine Generals had completely scattered, and there was no telling how much distance separated them.
Because of the obstruction of the divine light and death energy, Lin Moyu could not accurately sense the location of these Skeleton Divine Generals.
His original idea of using the Skeleton Divine Generals to map the area had completely failed.
The structure of Undead Vision was not the same as a normal person's line of sight, and some details were actually not clear, but Undead Vision was most sensitive to souls.
When the Skeleton Divine Generals looked around, they all saw that their bodies were already covered in Soul Fires.
These Soul Fires came from within the mist. When they entered the mist, they had unknowingly attached themselves. The Soul Fires were actually tiny bugs, wandering between the divine light and death energy.
They were too tiny, smaller than the smallest insect, and they only possessed souls, not physical bodies.
Even if Lin Moyu used all his strength to separate the weakest strand of his soul, it would be much stronger than them. If not for the Eye of the Undead, he would not have been able to discover them at all.
"What exactly do these Soul Bugs want to do?"
"I feel they are dangerous, but where exactly does the danger come from?"
Lin Moyu thought to himself, while ordering the Skeleton Divine Generals to continue moving forward.
At this point, direction was no longer important. Since he was completely unaware of his location, he would just walk randomly.
However, after he issued the order, only six Skeleton Divine Generals moved, while four others remained motionless.
Lin Moyu was slightly surprised; this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
He was naturally aware that there had been times when Skeleton Divine Generals lost connection; in a disconnected state, the Skeleton Divine Generals would lose control and not respond.
But now, the Skeleton Divine Generals had not lost connection, so why would they also lose control?
Just as he was thinking, one of the six still-functioning Skeleton Divine Generals suddenly stopped, standing there blankly, motionless.
Lin Moyu connected his vision over and suddenly discovered that his vision became blurry; the Eye of the Undead seemed unable to be used.
"How could this be?"
Lin Moyu immediately switched to another Skeleton Divine General he could still control and used the Eye of the Undead to carefully observe himself. He discovered that while the Soul Bugs were wandering, they seemed to be eating something.
The movement was too tiny; if one did not look very carefully, it could not be seen at all.
Their mouths kept trembling, as if they were eating something.
Gradually, Lin Moyu's line of sight became blurry again, and Undead Vision was affected.
The other several Skeleton Divine Generals also stopped one after another.
Lin Moyu had some ideas; these Soul Bugs could destroy the connection between himself and the Skeleton Divine Generals, making it impossible for him to control the Skeleton Divine Generals normally.
"The world is truly vast and full of wonders."
"Since that is the case, then let's try again!"
With a thought from Lin Moyu, the last Skeleton Divine General he could still control suddenly drew its sword.
The target of the sword strike was not someone else, but itself.
The sword energy swept over itself; within the white sword energy, the Soul Bugs were not harmed.
The sword energy had no effect. Lin Moyu thought for a moment, and strands of vitality suddenly surged from the Skeleton Divine General.
The Skeleton Divine General's Spell Star also carried the Undying Great Dao.
