Chapter 104: Garrison Earth Witch Pattern

  The first update!

  ——

  In front of the tombstone.

  Chen Yao's hand grasped the Xingyue Stone, operating the "Zhou Tian Xing Lie Duilian Body Technique". The majestic and vast star-killing power surged into his flesh and skin, like a dragon rising from the depths, rumbling and howling.

  On his back, a strip of tattoos appeared and disappeared, like millions of living earthworms wriggling within, converging towards the center of his spine, gathering, overlapping, intersecting...

  Boom!

  Like a new birth from the broken shell, hundreds of millions of witch lines gather together to form a majestic mountain-like star cloud pattern, suddenly bright and suddenly extinguished, giving rise to a vast and profound atmosphere.

  Chen Yu only felt a buzzing in his head, and the next moment he seemed to have arrived in ancient times. The earth was desolate, with vast and thick land stretching endlessly in all directions, everywhere was yellowish-brown. He and the earth were connected, transforming into a great mountain, a towering peak standing on the earth, deeply rooted, solid, majestic, and indestructible for billions of years.

  "Heaven and earth, the five elements, thick earth as the foundation, the source of all things, none do not have a beginning. Thick virtue carries all things..." In the divine soul sea, the eternal and indestructible image of Fuxi's godhead shines brightly, emitting countless rays of light, wave after wave of profound and mysterious ideas surging into Chen Tai's mind.

  "It turned out to be a tattoo of the ancient Tu people..." Chen Xiao's heart suddenly cleared up.

  Splish-splash! Splish-splash!

  Suddenly, a mysterious and profound power surged between the flesh, blood, tendons, and bones throughout his body. It was like the primordial aura of ancient savagery, repeatedly washing and cleansing his flesh and bones. Chen Su felt an extraordinary power growing within him, like a river bursting its banks after a torrential rain, becoming deeper and thicker by the minute.

  Crack! Crack!

  Three days later, the two Star Charms in Chen Xiao's hand, which could be cultivated for two months, were crushed into powder. He also woke up from his meditation, and a deep, vast, pure, and gentle light flashed through his eyes.

  "Condensing Star Chart, gathering witch patterns, transforming witch powers... Finally, I've advanced my Refining Body to the Violet Palace Realm!"

  Chen Yao suddenly stood up, his body shook violently, and instantly his muscles contracted like a python, expanding outward, creating a deafening shockwave that blew the yellow sand and dust on the ground into the air. This was purely the power of his muscles, without using any True Qi.

  At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly had a feeling that his entire body's muscles could become as soft as a cotton ball or as hard as steel, and he himself turned into a piece of tempered cow tendon. Even if his body was stretched to its limits, there wouldn't be any problem, it would stretch and retract freely, this was the realm of Innate, even with further cultivation, it's impossible to achieve such elasticity!

  "Once you reach the Purple Mansion Realm, as long as your head and heart aren't pierced by an enemy, it's equivalent to having an indestructible body!"

  Feeling the obvious changes in his body, Chen Xiao was very satisfied. After some thought, he circulated the power of his flesh and blood, and between the skin and muscles, a majestic and powerful force suddenly burst out. This force was like a clear sky, seemingly transparent, like smoke and clouds, faintly visible, mysterious and unpredictable.

  This is the witch power that Lian Ti Liu can possess!

  Bang!

  Suddenly, he condensed his magic power, made a fist with his right palm and struck the ground.

  In an instant, the ground surface added a three or four feet thick fist print. Chen Xiao felt that his punch's power was at least ten times stronger than before, and it could almost shatter a low-grade magic treasure!

  "I'm absorbing the stellar force, condensing the terrestrial witchcraft patterns transformed into witch power, thick and heavy, with sharp crystal-like properties. I don't know what it will become after condensing a second witchcraft pattern. Unfortunately, the 'Zhou Tian Xing Lüe Quan Ti Zhī Shù' only has cultivation methods up to the Purple Mansion realm, and the later methods are probably in Senior Qiū's hands... It seems that Heaven also wants me to enter the cave..."

  Chen Xiao was lost in thought, and didn't notice that just as he had punched out the witchcraft power, a strange wave of rhythm flashed by on the sword mound stone tablet beside him.

  "Seasoned seniors must have waited for a long time, now I have refined my energy and physique to the realm of Zi Fu, I'm sure the ban on Yu Zhui can no longer stop me from entering."

  Chen Xiao looked at the jade pendant in his palm, just about to examine it further, when a chill suddenly rose up from the bottom of his heart, and he almost jumped out of his skin.

  All I saw was what was under my feet, and before I knew it, a black hole had appeared, like a whirlpool, spinning silently.

  Buzz!

  Chen Zhuo only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and his entire body was violently pulled downwards by an enormous force, leaving him no room for resistance.

  Rumble!

  Not long after Chen Yao disappeared from the ground, the hundred-zhang-high Sword Tomb Stele also fell into that swirling black hole and was completely gone.

  The hurricane raged, the sandstorm howled, and in the blink of an eye, this place was covered with thick yellow sand, and no trace of Chen Tai or Jianzhongshi stele could be found.

  It wasn't long before Chen's vision changed, the sky and earth spinning around him. All his pressure disappeared, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast and empty hall.

  This magnificent hall is vast and grand, but it's extremely desolate. Everywhere are ancient marks, broken tables and chairs, stairs, and stone pillars.

  But more of them were... dead bodies!

  Chen Xiao was not mistaken. The hall was filled with white bones, scattered all over the ground. Among the white bones, some residual swords, clothes and decorations had already decayed and crumbled.

  "This grand hall has no windows or doors, are these white bones all people who died trapped in here?" Chen Tai's heart sank as he looked on.

  Ka-chunk! Chen Chao's foot had barely lifted off the ground before it came crashing down on a white skeleton, which shattered into dust with a faint crunch.

  "How could this be? Have these white bones been dead for countless years?"

  Chen Ting was secretly shocked, and those who could enter this place were undoubtedly cultivators. The lifespan of a cultivator is extremely long, even if the flesh rots, the skeleton can be preserved for a long time. However, these white bones shattered with just one step, clearly having been dead for countless years!

  Ka ka ka ka, Chen Ting walked around the entire main hall, wanting to find some valuable clues, he didn't want to be locked up here for nothing.

  There are all sorts of dead people here, and they don't seem to be from the same batch. Some have ancient dates, some skeletons are still relatively hard, and they come in all shapes and sizes. You can tell from their clothes, which are at different stages of decay.

  Even some clothes are treasures, made from all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly gems, but as the years go by, they too cannot withstand the erosion of time and become rotten and tattered.

  Pffft!

  Chen Yao picked up a long sword with rust all over it from a pile of white bones, and as soon as he picked it up, it turned into dust and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, this sword was obviously an extremely powerful treasure, but under the passage of time, it had also turned into flying ash, drifting and falling, turning into a streak of dust on the ground.

  Rotten...

  Immortal...

  Who else can win eternal life and last forever between heaven and earth?

  Chen Xiao stared blankly around her, her heart overwhelmed by a sense of desolation and helplessness.

  Cultivation is a path, empty and ethereal, long and leisurely. After all, how many months can one walk before ascending to the heavens as an immortal, never to be destroyed for eternity?

  A master can survive for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, but if he cannot pass through the numerous heavenly calamities, he will still turn into a cup of yellow earth and disappear into nothingness.

  To live as long as heaven and earth, is it just a matter of saying so?

  Chen Yao shook his head, suddenly feeling listless and unenthusiastic about anything. But immediately he was startled, struggling out of this bleak and desolate mood, a thread of horror already surging in his heart.

  "What! My Taoist heart has long been tempered to be extremely strong, yet I've produced so many negative emotions. Clearly, someone is secretly at work!"

  Chen Xuan's heart tightened, and the eight handles of the Xuanyuan flying sword whirred around his body, while he secretly guarded against the surroundings.

  Wow!

  In the empty and desolate grand hall, a gust of eerie wind suddenly rose, causing the white bones on the ground to rattle and make a chilling sound that sent shivers down one's spine.

  "Huh? I've already woken up from Nirvana so quickly?"

  A tender and clear voice sounded, accompanied by the voice, a three-inch-tall man wearing white clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, extremely handsome, appeared in front of Chen Yu, he sat cross-legged in mid-air, his body looked even smaller, like a big thumb.

  Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, he was shocked that he hadn't noticed how this handsome young man had gotten so close to him! After all, there were still eight Flying Swords of the Mystic Void guarding around him!

  "Put away these scraps of metal, if I wanted to harm you, you'd probably be dead already." The handsome young man said with his arms crossed, his voice full of disdain.

  "Who are you?"

  Chen Xiao also knew that this little thing could ignore the defense of the eight-handle Xuanming flying sword, and suddenly appear in front of him. Even if he tried to defend himself again, it would be useless. He immediately recalled his flying sword, but in his heart, he was extremely vigilant. The numerous white bones here might have been killed by this little guy.

  "Me?"

  The handsome young man seemed to have been scratched to the itchy place, his spirit shook, and he suddenly stood up, with his hands behind his back, his white clothes fluttering, proudly saying: "I am the soul of the ancient silent destruction sword, following my master to slay demons and monsters, roaming the world for ten thousand years, looking down on the world, only I am supreme, you can call me Ling Bai Shangren."

  Chen Xiao found it somewhat amusing, listening to a three-inch-tall little man solemnly boasting about how formidable he was, and felt that it was a bit comical.

  "Hey, aren't you shocked?" The handsome young man frowned and scolded.

  "What's shocking? What's so shocking?" Chen Xiao asked in astonishment.

  The handsome young man's forehead twitched: "I said so much, didn't you understand a single sentence?"

  "Did you hear that clearly? You are the soul of the ancient silent sword, called Ling Bai Shangren. That nickname was taken by yourself, right?" Chen Tai nodded and said casually.

  "The nickname I took for myself..." The handsome young man covered his forehead with one hand, a pained expression on his face: "How can you do this to me? I am the soul of Jianmo Sword!"

  "Hmm, it does sound quite formidable." Chen Xiao nodded again.

  The handsome young man's body stiffened, almost falling to the ground from mid-air. His face was as black as a pot bottom, gritting his teeth and saying: "Too much, despicable, too despicable! Others enter the Sword Tomb's Silent Realm, all of them treat me with utmost respect, bowing their heads in reverence, hoping for me to point out some sword techniques. But you, you say I took my own nickname, saying I seem very powerful... Is there anyone who insults people like this?"

  "What's 'Jian Zhang Jie Mie Jing'?" Chen Tai looked around in surprise.

  The handsome young man's face twitched violently, and he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He bellowed: "Don't change the subject, okay? That's very rude!"

  Chen Xiao nodded and said: "Mm, it's my fault, you're indeed very formidable, go on."

  "This attitude is too perfunctory!" The handsome young man was like he had been drained of energy, and sat down in mid-air with a thud, wanting to cry but having no tears.
