Chapter Eighty-Four Rebirth

  "Master, is there really a spiritual artifact here?"

  In the southeastern part of the city, within an abandoned school grounds, two people were searching for something. One was a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, and the other was a Loose Immortal. If Ding Yan were here, he would recognize at a glance that this Loose Immortal was none other than Xiao Chunshui, who had invited him to enter the city together outside the city of Wangshi.

  Like Ding Yan, Xiao Chunshui also obtained a true map, and his entry into the city was earlier than Ding Yan's, so he had already entered the inner city several days ago.

  "Nature will not be wrong..." Xiao Chunshui glanced at the remaining map in his hand, and his eyes flashed without saying anything.

  "We've been searching for three days already, if there's a hidden array it should have been discovered by now." the Qi-refining disciple said.

  "Everything in this city is controlled by a series of linked restrictions. These restrictions are interlocking, and if the one in front of you isn't broken through, the hidden arrays behind will absolutely not appear." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chunshui's gaze fell towards the southern part of the city.

  There, from half a day ago in the space above, began to appear a faint ominous energy, and it grew stronger and stronger.

  "The seal ahead was probably broken by someone, and the sealed object should have been taken away too, I don't know who... But in any case, the seal being broken is a good thing for me..." As he thought to himself, Xiao Chunshui glanced at his disciple, wondering what he was scheming.

  That day, he invited Ding Yan out because Ding Yan was a loose immortal and also alone, with only the initial realm of cultivation. Using him would save a lot of trouble. However, what he didn't expect was that Ding Yan was cautious and refused his invitation.

  "Interlocking seals? What kind of seal is this?" The Qi Refining disciple asked in confusion.

  He has been practicing for over 50 years, although he is still in the mortal world, but he has also come into contact with many seals. The name of the linked seal, he really heard it for the first time.

  "Of course, the time when the linked seals were flourishing was mainly in ancient times. As for now, this sealing technique has long been lost, and only some ancient books left over from ancient times have records of this seal. Alright, don't waste any more words, hurry up and find it. Once you've found it, I'll go out and help you refine a Spirit Gathering Pill." Xiao Chunshui said impatiently.

  That Qi-refining disciple heard this and stopped wasting words, carefully searching from then on.

  A little later.

  That Qi-refining disciple stopped in front of a single rack used for storing weapons.

  "Huh?" The Qi-refining disciple looked puzzled.

  "What's wrong?" asked Xiao Chunshui as he walked over.

  "There... previously, it seems there wasn't this giant axe here." The refining Qi disciple said uncertainly.

  Half a time ago, he searched here, the top of the weapon rack, and there was no giant axe at all. Xiao Chunshui heard this, his eyes flashed, and the immortal consciousness in his body carefully explored out. When his immortal consciousness approached the weapon rack, a formless energy easily bounced back his immortal consciousness.

  "It should be here, back off a bit." Xiao Chunshui gestured.

  A blue Yuan force ball condensed into shape, suspended in the palm of Xiao Chunshui. The refining Qi disciple saw this and hastily retreated, fearing that he would be affected by it.

  "Open it for me!"

  Xiao Chunshui let out a loud shout, and the yuan energy ball in his hand suddenly burst open, creating a ring-shaped ripple that pushed outward from him. The weapon rack in front of him began to shake violently, with the weapons on it colliding continuously and emitting a series of clanging sounds. However, strangely enough, no matter how hard the rack shook, it refused to topple over.

  Xiao Chunshui's face showed a hint of joy upon seeing this.

  She took out a pure white crystal sword from the storage bag and held it in her right palm. With a thought, the yuan force inside her body surged like a spring, gathering towards the crystal sword. In just one breath, the entire crystal sword was already completely enveloped by Xiao Chunshui's yuan force, which had obscured its original shape, leaving only a ball of cyan light that kept jumping around.

  The crystal sword trembled, and the humming sound grew louder.

  The cultivator next to him retreated a little further, staring at the crystal sword in Xiao Chunshui's hand with a slightly stunned expression. The crystal sword was a low-grade artifact that Xiao Chunshui had spent eighty years refining, and normally he wouldn't use it, let alone like this, completely disregarding the artifact's endurance as he frantically poured in his yuan power.

  "Xiao Jian Dao!" Xiao Chunshui took a light step forward and struck out with his sword.

  Crunch...

  After the Yuan Li left the sword, a faint crack appeared on the originally crystal clear Jian. The excessive use of Yuan Li had already caused this crystal sword to suffer damage that was difficult to detect.

  A massive crescent moon slash was unleashed, sweeping outwards.

  Boom!

  The weapon rack exploded with a loud noise under the powerful slash, and the broken weapons flew out one after another. Only the giant axe on top remained suspended there, and when the sword edge slashed to it, a faint glow appeared on the surface of the giant axe, which actually neutralized the impact of the sword energy on itself.

  "Top-grade artifact, Soul-Calming Axe!" Xiao Chunshui seemed to have known the origin of the giant axe all along.

  Take a step forward, the yuan force in his hand transforms, and he grasps the giant axe.

  An underground passageway appeared in the place where the weapon rack was originally located. A thread of cold air continuously howled out from within the passageway.

  "Master...... Master, why do I feel like there's something... eerie about this place?"

  The Qi-refining disciple walked over, saw the deep and quiet passageway, and couldn't help but shiver. Although he was only in the Qi-refining realm, he was still a cultivator, and what made him feel cold was enough to show how dense the yin energy was inside the passage below.

  "Don't worry, the treasure is down there, and there's no danger inside." Xiao Chunshui patted his disciple's shoulder, indicating for him to go first.

  That disciple trembled slightly, glanced at Xiao Chunshui, and then gritted his teeth as he walked into the passageway. As for Xiao Chunshui's temperament, he was clearer than anyone else; if he went against his will, it was very likely that he wouldn't even know how he died.

  After Lianqi disciple walked into the passage, Xiao Chunshui also followed him in.

  After entering the passage, the cold air became even thicker. The Qi-refining disciple walking in front was shivering with fear, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, unsure whether it was from the cold or fear.

  After walking for about the time it takes to have a cup of tea, the two of them reached the end. The end of the passage was a small underground chamber of only about 50 square meters. The walls of the chamber were made of green bricks and stones, with a raised stone bed in the center. Above it, a green stone jar floated quietly, with a palm-sized square seal on its lid that shone with a faint glow, which stood out particularly in this dimly lit underground chamber.

  "It's this thing!" As soon as he saw the stone jar, a hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Chunshui's eyes.

  ......

  Crunch!!

  In the pitch-black space, the mysterious Taoist finally broke through that piece of space.

  Inside the city of injustice, the stone house in the prison space suddenly exploded, with flying debris and strange Taoist walking out step by step. In an instant, the terrifying killing aura turned into a bloody cloud that filled the sky and dispersed in all directions...

  In a certain street in the inner city, the shaky skeleton, at the moment when the mysterious Taoist appeared, seemed to have been summoned, and a cluster of dark blue flames flashed through its eye sockets. A blood flame burst out from the skeleton, enveloping its whole body, and then transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the direction where the mysterious Taoist was located.

  A strange Taoist took a step and landed on top of a stone house.

  The skeleton transformed into a blood thorn and rushed directly into the body of the mysterious Taoist like a phantom!

  "United as one!"

  The bones and flesh merged, the aura on the Taoist's body grew even stronger, the endless killing intent almost condensed into a substance. His hands were raised to the sky, and in the empty eye sockets, eyeballs finally grew out. In the dark red pupils, the intention of bloodthirstiness was revealed without a doubt.

  "Blood, I need more blood!!!"
