"Someone wants to cultivate a Gu King to completely eliminate those self-harming martial artists, which led to all of this arrangement.
It seems that this world has different factions, crushing each other."
Lin Qiubai's thoughts were clear. Upon hearing the spirit's hint, countless ideas flashed through his mind, and the causal relationships gradually became clear.
"A powerful being set up this secret realm ten thousand years ago, perhaps intending to cultivate such a malicious Gu.
But some unforeseen events occurred, preventing the master of this secret realm from continuing to guard it here.
Or rather, it simply wasn't time for them to return and retrieve the poisonous Gu..."
Based on the information he had gathered, Lin Qiubai continued to dig deeper.
Some rare heavenly materials or extraordinary treasures do not mature in a short period.
They require ten thousand years, several tens of thousands of years, a hundred thousand years, or even a million years to reach maturity.
For example, the Nine Origin Creation Ruler requires three hundred thousand years to take shape...
"You are very close to the truth."
The spirit was left speechless. Lin Qiubai's ability to infer from subtle hints was terrifying enough to impress even it.
In just a few dozen breaths, his master had undoubtedly thought through it a thousand times back and forth and ultimately confirmed two hypotheses.
And these two hypotheses were already nearly identical to the truth—precisely accurate to an astonishing degree.
"I wonder if the Ten Thousand Year Gu cultivated by the Nameless One can be used as nourishment for the Demon Wugui?"
Lin Qiubai whispered, his fingers pinching the bones of his hand.
A flash of brilliance flickered in his eyes.
He had never shied away from seizing opportunities along the way.
Moreover, this was not the first time Lin Qiubai had done such a thing.
Those powerful beings had accumulated treasures over thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years; it felt exhilarating to snatch them away!
With that thought in mind, a sinister smile crept onto Lin Qiubai's lips as he reached out with his consciousness to touch the Demon Wugui.
This fellow was currently lying peacefully inside the Treasure Chest, fast asleep.
Completely motionless.
Like a dead pig.
The recent series of nourishing treatments had yet to be digested.
It would probably take a while before it could wake up.
It was unworthy of such Fortune.
"Master... you really shouldn't have any ideas about this! That Arranger is at least a peak expert in the Cycle Realm!"
The spirit of the artifact was filled with trepidation, its eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
He hurriedly stopped Lin Qiubai.
For the sake of resources, his master truly had no reservations whatsoever.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Qiubai had once provoked a Reincarnation Realm Expert, the Corpse Demon King, at the bottom of the Beast Taming Sect's Gorge!
At that time, Lin Qiubai had just entered the Yuan Dan Realm. Although his cultivation was as low as an ant, every insidious tactic he employed was utterly insane, inciting the wrath of both gods and men...
The Corpse Demon King even went so far as to injure part of its own body to allow the Phantom to break free from the Formation, so it could remember Lin Qiubai's appearance!
This shows just how infuriated Lin Qiubai must have been at that time.
However, it seemed that Lin Qiubai had forgotten about this incident.
Fortunately, the Corpse Demon King could not escape in a short period; otherwise... it would undoubtedly become a nightmare for a Divine Kingdom!
An existence like the Corpse Demon King, once driven mad, could turn an entire continent to ashes!
The Continental Lord must bow and submit before a Reincarnation Realm Expert.
Only the peak powerhouses of a Divine Kingdom were qualified to stand on equal footing with the Corpse Demon King!
"Peak Cycle Realm?"
Lin Qiubai was taken aback.
He wasn't frightened.
Instead, the hurricane stirred up by the Undead blew through his long hair.
A dangerous aura surged forward.
Lin Qiubai felt a chill in his heart, instantly narrowing his gaze and focusing his thoughts, locking onto fifteen Undead.
"How foolish, to be so desperate as to eat Ripped Corpse Blood Bats."
Lin Qiubai sneered, his breath steady, eyes level, unafraid.
They rushed towards him rapidly, landing heavily before Lin Qiubai.
After all, they were dead beings, their pupils clouded and unfocused, their movements clumsy.
Like metal Puppets, they fell to the ground without any cushioning, kicking up dust three feet high...
Impressive.
Lin Qiubai was slightly surprised.
He observed carefully and noticed that these Undead were not simply controlled by Gu Worms.
They had been modified.
Transformed into killing machines!
They possessed two distinctly different energies.
One was the frenzied Vital Energy.
The other was a mysterious Black Smoke; this Black Smoke intertwined with the Vital Energy, making Lin Qiubai sense a dangerous presence.
"Be careful of the Black Smoke on them; that Black Smoke is extremely troublesome and can dissolve double the amount of Vital Energy.
In other words, if even a trace of the black gas contaminates a martial artist, they must expend twice the amount of Vital Energy to counteract its erosion!
Not long ago, a Senior Brother Lin at the Peak of Yuan Dan Realm was killed by an Undead after being ensnared by the black gas!"
Zheng Bei's voice trembled with fear.
Hearing Zheng Bei's warning, Lin Qiubai became more cautious and took out several trump cards.
Some of the Undead were already at the Peak of Yuan Dan Realm, and on top of that, their Vital Energy had been altered by an unknown Gu Worm.
How could Lin Qiubai possibly compete?
His strength was only at the fourth level of Yuan Dan Realm.
Only a fool would try to show off.
Thus, without hesitation, Lin Qiubai took out his trump cards. With a thought, he infused Vital Energy into the Strong Crossbow and activated it.
Brilliant attacks surged forth, sending the three strongest Undead flying.
The crossbow bolts collided violently with their solid bodies shrouded in black gas.
The black gas attempted to dissolve the bolts, but unfortunately, that level of impact was bestowed by a Creation Realm expert and could instantly kill a Peak of Yuan Dan Realm martial artist!
Dealing with them was naturally not a problem!
In an instant, the three Undead at the Peak of Yuan Dan Realm all turned into headless Corpses.
They could no longer fight.
At the same time, three trails of Black Smoke rapidly rose from the Corpses, attempting to escape.
However, these Gu Worms became utterly vulnerable once they detached from their hosts.
Lin Qiubai was quick to react, flicking his fingers to unleash waves of Soul Ice Flame.
He froze them all completely.
"Trying to escape in front of me?"
Lin Qiubai scoffed, twisting his hand. The Gu Worms frozen by the ice flames shattered into countless pieces, turning into black fine sand, their life force extinguished.
Yuan Chonghuan was not idle either; he flipped his palm.
A petal of Mysterious Golden Pear Blossom appeared in his hand. He pressed the trigger, and dozens of pear blossom petals rained down like arrows, blocking the path of the Undead.
As they pierced into their bodies, they exploded, igniting fierce flames that left the Gu Worms hidden within the Undead nowhere to hide.
They transformed into Black Smoke and fled, only to be struck down again by Lin Qiubai's ice flames in an instant.
...
Fifteen terrifying Undead were completely annihilated by Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan in the blink of an eye...
Zheng Bei, who witnessed everything from the side, felt a deep pain in his heart.
So powerful!
Before this, even a Peak of Yuan Dan Realm Senior Brother Lin had died at the hands of the Undead!
Yet in front of Lin Shishu, fifteen Undead didn't last even a few breaths...
There was no need for desperate fighting; with a simple gesture, formidable enemies fell.
This is what it truly means to use one's trump card.
For people like them, using a trump card requires careful consideration.
They wear expressions of deep suffering and resentment.
In contrast, Lin Shishu remained calm and composed, with no flush on his face or racing heart.
Like an antelope's horns, leaving no trace behind, he displayed the demeanor of a master.
This illustrates the gap between the wealthy and the ordinary.
Zheng Bei felt like crying without tears; he experienced a profound sense of defeat at Lin Shishu's reckless use of his trump cards...
