Chapter 666 Nine Heavens Breath Soil
"This is the death energy of the underworld!"
She suddenly gasped, as if struck by a sudden thought. She quickly looked up at the sky, but it was shrouded in a layer of gray fog, obscuring the view outside.
Her divine sense probed upwards, but was quickly blocked.
Her expression changed, and she quickly tried to leap upwards, but... she didn't manage to jump.
Forbidden air.
Her expression changed drastically as she realized something had happened that was beyond her control.
She quickly darted back the way she came and soon found the spot where they had come in.
Because the aura of thunder still lingers here, it's easy to find.
Looking up again, the sky here was no longer clear as before, but shrouded in a gray fog.
She wanted to leap out, but she couldn't.
The barrier that was previously damaged by lightning has somehow been restored.
She quickly darted away, but no matter which way she went, she remained in the same area.
There were no people, no other plants or animals, only an aura of death.
They've been tricked and are trapped inside.
Once she realized this, she calmed down.
They began to wonder if Zhong Ran and the others had actually entered this place.
She slowly walked towards the location the spirit insect had found, but instead of going in directly, she stayed there.
The spirit insects arrived here based on the scent, so it's likely that the four of them broke in.
Regardless of life or death, she would wait here, hoping to discover something.
However, she didn't have to wait long before she heard noises coming from inside.
The cultivators who had gone inside earlier escaped out.
She hid in the shadows and looked closely before realizing that the people there were all disheveled and looked as if they had been through a major battle.
Moreover, are they fleeing for their lives in a panic?
She watched for a while longer before hearing a different sound.
When I opened my eyes again and looked closely, I saw that my complexion had changed.
Inside, hordes of skeletal figures and beasts chased after the cultivators.
Everywhere she looked was a chilling expanse of white bones. Even she, a master of the evil path, felt her scalp tingle at the sight.
How many people must have died to form such a massive army of bones?
Moreover, we hadn't figured out where they had come from along the way.
She didn't show herself; in fact, she even used a concealment technique on herself to prevent those people from seeing her.
But to her surprise, all the flying bone beasts pounced on her.
The stench of decay was so nauseating that even she, who had spent her days surrounded by corpses, felt like vomiting.
She raised her hand, and an equally gray aura attacked out.
At the same time, she quickly darted away into the distance.
This was a serious matter; it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, as all the bone beasts pounced on them at once.
She was terrified and tried to teleport away, but found that her methods outside were completely ineffective inside.
She finally understood why those monks were in such a sorry state.
She punched the bone beast that pounced at her.
That punch of hers could kill a seventh-tier magical beast outside.
But when the fist struck the bone beast, instead of killing it, it hurt the user's own fist.
So, the Forest of Death got its name from this.
Zhong Ran completely ignored the situation outside. The three of them climbed to the top of the mountain, but they couldn't see far; they could only see each other up close.
Ah Sheng felt extremely uncomfortable; he almost wanted to hug his senior brother.
Mu Jinning infused his body with a wisp of life force, and he felt comfortable for a while.
"Ah Sheng, let me take you to bed first."
Seeing his reaction, Zhong Ran finally remembered that she had a space where she could send people in.
Ah Sheng felt very uncomfortable facing such a strong aura of death.
Hearing her words, he quickly nodded, and Zhong Ran put him into the space to sleep.
She activated her Eye of Illusion to look down into the valley below, a misty place that gradually cleared in her eyes.
Several tall trees grew inside, along with some flowers and soul fruits, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
She searched for a while before finding Xiao Qingtian. The little guy was standing in a patch of black soil, looking like a carrot planted there, which was strangely funny.
He seemed to notice her gaze and looked over: "Beautiful mother, come and save me!"
Zhong Ran frowned slightly and looked at the soil beneath his feet.
It was a patch of black soil. He stepped on it but didn't move, and he even cried out for help to her, which meant that there was something unusual about this black soil.
Upon closer inspection, is there nothing else in there besides these items?
Could it be that Xiao Yan said something here was calling him, and that's what those things were?
She telepathically asked the little one, "What's wrong with you?"
“Beautiful Mother, this is the legendary Nine Heavens Breath Soil, perfect for Father to plant saplings.”
When Xiao Qingtian's voice came back, Zhong Ran was stunned for a long time before she could react.
The legendary Nine Heavens Breath Soil? How did it end up here? And why is it trapped inside?
"Please wait a moment. We'll come in to find you after Xiao Yan has been cultivating for a while."
"Waaah, beautiful mother, please get me out of here first, it's devouring my life force."
"What? It will devour your life force?"
Zhong Ran was shocked again. The Nine Heavens Breath Soil was said to be a divine object, so how could he describe it as so evil?
Could it be that it has become evil because of the deathly aura here?
"Then I'll go down and save you first."
Zhong Ran couldn't bear to watch it die from being devoured, so she went in first to save it.
She withdrew her illusory gaze and said to Mu Jinning, "Xiao Qingtian is trapped down there. He says his life force is being devoured. We have to go down and save him first."
Mu Jinning took her hand and slowly walked down, her voice calm: "What's down there?"
Zhong Ran truthfully replied, "Aside from some trees, some flowers, and some soul fruits, I haven't found anything else yet."
"What is trapping Xiaotian?"
"A patch of black soil, he called it 'Nine Heavens Breath Soil,' saying it's perfect for you to plant trees."
Zhong Ran was still somewhat puzzled: "But I've heard that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is a divine object, how could it devour life force?"
Mu Jinning narrowed her eyes slightly: "There is only one explanation: it is trapped here and affected by the aura of death. It needs a lot of vitality to recover."
And his Tree of Life was just right.
Zhong Ran was taken aback: "Won't this have any impact on you?"
"I don't know, let's go and take a look first."
Mu Jinning said quietly, "What exactly is it that Xiao Yan said summoned him?"
Zhong Ran shook her head: "I don't know yet. The valley is very big, and I haven't finished looking around. Xiao Tian said to save him first."
Regardless of the danger, since Xiao Qingtian is now in danger, they cannot stand by and watch him die.
The two descended very slowly because the gray fog was too thick. Zhong Ran also activated her movement technique, which made the fog even thicker, so they moved even slower.
Although it was slow, it didn't take long before they reached the valley.
