Chapter 77: Corpse Yin Sect (Part 1)

Wang Lin chuckled. He no longer held much hostility toward this Monster. Seeing the other party moving at such high speed, Wang Lin couldn't help but want to stretch his limbs. Without another word, he stomped his foot, pushed his speed to the limit, and shot out like a hare.

The distance between the two closed rapidly. The blue-skinned Monster saw Wang Lin rushing toward him with Battle Intent in his eyes and let out a cackle. Discovering that his opponent was not using the small green sword, Battle Intent also surged in his eyes. Forgetting the original purpose of his arrival, he quickly stopped and, without hesitation, tore off a yellow paper from his body. Instantly, a cyan flow of Qi surged outside his body. As the Monster opened his mouth and inhaled, the cyan Qi flowed into his body. In that instant, the Monster's Aura erupted.

A solemn look appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out a few strange sounds, as if he were trying to say something to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin knew well that the nine yellow papers on the Monster were extremely strange. Previously, when he had been severely injured by a Spiritual Artifact, the other party had torn one off and immediately recovered. Since then, Wang Lin had developed a deep curiosity about these yellow papers.

Now that the other party had torn off another yellow paper, his strength had instantly doubled.

Wang Lin did not hesitate. He waved his hands, and spiritual power circulated throughout his body. At this moment, Wang Lin's Aura suddenly changed!

Wisps of blue energy lingered around him, and a thick, yin cold qi radiated outward. From his body, a sensation of extreme coldness, the ultimate end of all things, was revealed.

A flash of light appeared in the blue-skinned Monster's eyes. His mouth moved slightly, and he spat out a word that Wang Lin could understand: "Strength!" After saying this, he clenched his fist. Strange symbols flashed on his arm, his veins bulged high, and he strode forward, throwing a punch!

Wang Lin's gaze flashed. His yin cold spiritual power surged out of his body, transforming into a giant fist that collided with the Monster's in the air. At the moment of contact, the Monster assumed a strange posture, standing on one foot with his center of gravity shifted to the left, his breathing uneven. Suddenly, a violent wind whipped up, and a constantly wobbling Vortex appeared, blowing all the rocks and wild grass around the two of them far away, forming a circular empty zone.

A strange flush flickered across Wang Lin's face, and he involuntarily retreated more than three meters. He suddenly looked up, staring fixedly in the direction of the Monster.

The blue-skinned Monster was even more shocked than Wang Lin. He clearly felt the opponent's spiritual power drilling into his body along his fist, causing terrifying and strange changes that spread rapidly from his arm throughout his entire body. Waves of extreme coldness followed.

If not for the strange symbols on his body flashing repeatedly, which allowed him to barely control the yin cold qi, he feared his entire body would have been completely frozen stiff by now.

Looking at his right arm, it had completely turned into a blue crystalline state. He discovered with horror that the flesh and blood tissue of his right arm had completely changed. He looked at his arm, his face ashen and powerless. He gazed deeply at Wang Lin and once again spat out a word that Wang Lin could understand: "Extreme?"

Wang Lin did not speak. He did not know what "Extreme" meant, so he shook his head.

The Monster was stunned, then tore off another yellow paper from his body with his left hand. Cyan and white gases surged, and as they dissipated, his right arm returned to normal. However, Wang Lin noticed that his right hand was still trembling slightly.

He glanced at Wang Lin, snorted, let out a string of gibberish, and quickly left. Wang Lin watched him go, then sat cross-legged on the ground, recalling the battle just now.

The force contained in the Monster's punch was very strange; it did not seem to be spiritual power, but rather another type of special energy.

"Strength?" He thought of the word the savage had spat out before throwing his punch!

Leaving aside the savage's strange force, Wang Lin was very satisfied with the power of the mutated spiritual power he had tested in actual combat for the first time. This mutated spiritual power, which could change the structure of matter, was named by Wang Lin as extreme yin spiritual power!

"Extreme?" This was the second word he could understand that the savage had said after seeing his spiritual power!

"It is time to leave. Now, I will just wait until I have finished Cultivating the fifth layer of the Yellow Springs Ascending Aperture Art, then I will leave this place!" Wang Lin muttered to himself.

"The Earth Yin Land, I must find it!" Wang Lin knew well that he had to find the Earth Yin Land. The difficulty of breaking through the apertures for each layer of the Yellow Springs Ascending Aperture Art increased significantly. If he relied solely on brute force to break through the apertures, the success rate would be too low. Only by finding a high-quality extreme yin land could he increase his success rate!

Although the ruins had a rich yin cold qi, Wang Lin analyzed that the highest quality here was only the tenth grade of the Yellow Yin Land's Deep Yin. Even if his analysis was wrong, at most it would be breaking through the tenth grade of Deep Yin, entering Absolute Yin, and reaching the first or second grade of Absolute Yin.

One must know that among the four great extreme yin lands—Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow—there was not much difference between Profound and Yellow. However, Heaven and Earth were different. A high-quality first grade of the Earth Yin Land was equivalent to the first grade of Absolute Yin of the Profound or Yellow lands!

As for the Heaven Yin Land, which could be met but not sought, even a normal first grade possessed the efficacy of the Absolute Yin of the Profound and Yellow lands!

While lost in thought, Wang Lin suddenly looked up and saw the Monster returning. After he came over, he gestured to Wang Lin for a long time. He first pointed to the surroundings, made a deep breathing motion, and then shook his head vigorously.

Then he pointed at Wang Lin, then pointed at himself, and gestured again. Wang Lin gradually began to understand. The other party's intention seemed to be to have him follow him. Wang Lin's heart stirred, and he nodded.

The Monster was very fast, and while running, he was extremely familiar with the surroundings, avoiding one dangerous swamp pit after another.

There was even one time when he leaned into a long crack in the ground, wandered around inside a few times, and walked out from another exit. After coming out, Wang Lin immediately discovered that this short journey had actually crossed a massive swamp land covered in shocking beast bones.

Two days later, the two arrived at a remote corner of the ruins. In these two days, they had only stopped to rest once.

Upon arriving here, Wang Lin noticed a relatively well-preserved tower-shaped building standing not far away. At the very top of the tower, there was a huge Stone Bead!

Wang Lin's gaze flashed. This Stone Bead was almost identical to the one at the edge of the ruins.

Looking at the Monster, he did not stop, nimbly climbing up the tower-shaped building. Standing beside the Stone Bead, he quickly formed Hand Seals with his hands and pressed them onto it. Before long, the Stone Bead overflowed with flowing light, and a straight beam of light immediately shot toward the center of the ruins.

Looking from afar, the beam of light was boundless and had no end in sight.

After finishing this, the Monster jumped down, waved at Wang Lin, and the two left the place.

Time flew by. Wang Lin followed the Monster to one location after another where a Stone Bead was placed within the ruins. Most of the locations had collapsed, but the Stone Beads were all intact.

One Stone Bead after another was activated, and all the beams of light pointed toward the center of the city.

When the last Stone Bead—the one Wang Lin had seen first—was also activated, the entire city seemed to change in that instant.

Along the way, Wang Lin silently counted. There were a total of eight of these Stone Beads.

The Monster would occasionally look up at the sky with a look of anxiety on his face, taking Wang Lin toward the center of the ruins at an even faster speed. During this time, the two did not rest once, and finally, at dusk on the fourth day, they arrived at the very center of the city!

The eight beams of light shooting from afar gathered here. When the Monster arrived, he stopped, prostrated his whole body on the ground, a look of piety in his eyes, and emitted a series of chants that sounded like singing.

As his voice became sharper and sharper, the earth trembled, and a massive statue about a hundred feet tall slowly rose from the ground. When it reached half its height, it gradually stopped.

The statue depicted a long-haired man. The man had a simple and unadorned appearance, his eyes revealing wisdom, and he held a Long Spear in his hand, gazing into the distance with an air of looking down upon the world. A giant Dragon coiled around his body, its mouth open, fangs bared, a ferocious Aura rushing toward one's face, its scales looking as real as they were illusory, shocking to behold.

The eight beams of light converged on the statue, refracting ten thousand rays of colorful light. The statue's eyes gradually brightened. In that instant, Wang Lin even had the illusion that this long-haired man had come alive!

After the statue emerged, the look of piety in the Monster's eyes grew stronger. He waved his hand at Wang Lin, pointed at the Dragon's head, and showed an intention to urge him on.

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then without another word, he leaped up and climbed. With a few jumps, he reached the top of the Dragon's head. The moment he stood there, he immediately felt a massive wave of yin cold qi coming from beneath his feet.

Wang Lin immediately sat cross-legged, formed a Hand Seal, and shot out a ball of light. As soon as the ball of light appeared, it immediately split from one into four. The red light was already shining to the limit. Finally, with a bang, the ball of light dissipated. Wang Lin's heart was greatly shocked; he knew this meant that the extreme yin quality of this place had reached the limit of the Yellow Yin Land—the tenth grade of Absolute Yin!

In his pleasant surprise, he immediately began to inhale and devour. The Vortex inside his body grew rapidly. However, this time it did not expand its devouring area as it had in the past, but instead covered a distance of a few zhang all around. Looking from afar, a circular red halo appeared around Wang Lin, enveloping the Dragon's head.

Wang Lin sat there for five days!

During these five days, the Monster kept watching from below. As time passed, his anxiety grew stronger, and he constantly observed the sky, as if the rising of the statue would bring about some trouble. The nine yellow papers on his body moved without wind, clearly keeping themselves in a state of being ready to be torn off at any moment.

The Qi Sea aperture was finally broken through on the third day, collapsing and reorganizing. In the early morning of the fifth day, the fifth layer of the Yellow Springs Ascending Aperture Art Cultivation Technique reached Major Achievement.

Taking one more step forward, he could condense a second Cold Core. By then, even against a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, Wang Lin would dare to fight. Even now, he no longer held an ordinary Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator in his eyes.

Next, he began to try to improve the quality of his spiritual power, fusing it with the yin cold qi of the tenth grade of Absolute Yin.

While controlling the Fusion, he observed his spiritual power. Gradually, he discovered that the color of his spiritual power was becoming deeper and deeper, rapidly growing from the previous light blue to deep blue.

He did not know that his spiritual power at this moment was getting closer to the extreme realm!

At this time, the outside world changed drastically. The earth immediately darkened, and the clouds churned as if being manipulated by a hand. Black mist surged and gradually condensed together, forming a huge coffin that slowly descended.

An illusory figure slowly appeared on top of the coffin, its body rapidly solidifying.

A hoarse voice came from the sky.

"Are you saying that Master's Nascent Soul is hiding inside this statue?"

The Monster on the ground's expression changed drastically.
