Chapter 452: The Seven Stars Ancient Tomb Locks the Yin Veins

The Yin Wood Monsters swarmed in, and Li Hui sent them all to the forbidden area of the Ancient City of Yin Ruins. Guang Jin reported, “Good, it’s effective. The fog enveloping the forbidden area has been torn open by these black monkeys, revealing a palace. There’s a formation; the monkeys have been exterminated. Quickly let the Yang Gu absorb the dark energy; we cannot let the dark energy taint the Ancient City of Yin Ruins.”

“Hold on to the gourd and don’t let the Yang Gu wander into the forbidden zone. The Ancient City of Yin Ruins is unfathomable, and our previous understanding of it was too superficial.”

“Rest assured, I understand,” Guang Jin replied.

Inside the ancient tomb, the elders from various factions summoned their spirit treasures to chop down the ghost trees.

These ghost trees roared, causing hearts and minds to waver, ensuring that ordinary practitioners would surely fall prey. Fortunately, the elders were powerful, each exerting their methods to suppress the impact, and within the shortest time, they felled the Wao Liang Bosa Trees they targeted.

Li Hui continued to delve deeper, collecting a large number of Yin Wood Monsters with a wave of his hand, as well as a type of black-purple Shadow Beast that had jumping abilities, successfully sending them to the Ancient City of Yin Ruins for Que San and Han Wu to take the lead.

After two hours, the elders wiped their sweat, finally having taken down all the ghost trees. The roots and purple heartwood belonged to them, while the other parts were Li Hui’s, preparing to cultivate the second Yang Gu.

The first Yang Gu was a Nine Yin Cleanse World Yang Gu Talisman, created out of haste at that time with a Yin Absorption Talisman layered onto it. The second Yang Gu would take a different path, intending to imprint a Yin Thunder Talisman onto it; if the Yin Thunder transformed into Yang Thunder, it would be incredible!

After cleaning the ancient tomb, they filled it with Miao Jade and ignited various dazzling sun lamps. They discovered that most of the teleportation arrays in the Tian Xuan Ancient Tomb were usable, much to the joy of the elders. They were discussing activating the teleportation array to venture deeper when someone reported, “Elders, we’ve dug into the Tian Quan Ancient Tomb!”

“Oh? Tian Quan Ancient Tomb?”

“The Tian Quan Ancient Tomb preserves the original scriptures of the sect; it cannot be lost.” The elders hurriedly made their way over, while Li Hui scanned the area and called a disciple to guard the Tian Xuan Ancient Tomb, feeling a layer of gloom settle in his heart—a bad omen.

Following the Tian Xuan Ancient Tomb, the long-sealed Tian Quan Ancient Tomb was pushed open by the puppets.

As the elders released their spiritual senses to scan, they immediately flew into a rage, exclaiming, “What? A corpse-raising ground? The place where the Haotu Sect treasures its scriptures is actually used to raise corpses? What were the previous sect leaders and relevant elders thinking?”

Once everyone entered the ancient tomb for a thorough inspection, they discovered that these zombies had talismans affixed to their foreheads.

“Wait, it’s not a corpse; it’s using corpses to cultivate talismans. Does anyone know what this talisman is?”

Li Hui was astonished: “This is the Tian Xu Corpse Disintegration Falling God Talisman, nourished for over six hundred years; it is just a step away from transforming into a true Jade Symbol!”

“Is there really such a talisman in the world?” One elder, well-read, said, “It is rumored that this talisman is extremely difficult to advance, but once it evolves into a divine talisman or even a jade talisman, it specializes in breaking various powerful ghostly beings’ primordial spirits. Did the sect predict the emergence of the dark moon six hundred years ago and leave this legacy for posterity?”

Li Hui shook his head and said, “Don’t you all find it strange? Only Yin cavities can raise corpses. Why has the Tian Quan Ancient Tomb become a place for raising corpses? The same goes for the Tian Xuan Ancient Tomb—without a continuous supply of dark energy over six hundred years, how did the Wao Liang Bosa Trees grow so lush? If I’m not mistaken, the seven ancient tombs are linked to suppress the Yin Veins, and the cultivation of the Tian Xu Corpse Disintegration Falling God Talismans is to deal with the ghostly beings sealed within the other ancient tombs.”

“Yin Veins?” The elders gasped in shock. Xu Mao turned and left, shouting, “Immediately seal this information! We cannot let the outside world know that our Haotu Sect has Yin Veins underground. Otherwise, the armies of the Yin Moon Dynasty will come flooding in, and within days, it will be a bloodbath for our sect!”

“Indeed, the Yin Veins are of utmost importance. The scale indicates that there’s a Yin Realm hidden deep underground—that’s a paradise for ghostly creatures.” Tian Maosheng surveyed everyone, speaking coldly, “Dalong has already stirred up chaos in various countries; perhaps the Yin Moon Dynasty is targeting the Yin Veins, but previously it could not locate them. We must instantly disrupt the heavenly secrets and must not leak a trace of energy!”

“Understood! Seal the information and the ancient tombs!”

The elders from various factions flew away, leaving only Li Hui in the ancient tomb. This was a matter concerning the survival of the sect, and no one dared to overlook it.

“Collect!” As he gestured, all the Tian Xu Corpse Disintegration Falling God Talismans flew to him, and the zombies cultivated to nourish the talismans instantly turned to ash.

“Yin Veins?” Li Hui pondered as he left this place and returned to the Tian Xuan Ancient Tomb, instructing his disciples to activate the teleportation array to send them into the ley lines.

The moment he steadied himself, he suddenly felt a chill rush in, and the Buddhist light erupted outward, illuminating three terrifying ghostly entities.

“Blockage ghosts?”

Li Hui released his spiritual sense to explore the ley lines, finding countless ghostly beings densely packed.

In this moment, he felt a surge of shock, followed by relief as he thought, “Fortunately, they are deep underground and do not contact the outside world. If they gain the assistance of the dark moon, within a few months, they would evolve into numerous ghost kings. The ghostly beings here are not like those cheap reproductions forcibly catalyzed outside; each one is an Old Ghost.”

“Guang Jin, get ready; I’m about to deliver the ghostly beings.”

“No problem, let’s take them down!” Guang Jin shouted.

Six massive golden Buddha palms appeared, capturing the ghostly beings and sending them into the Ancient City of Yin Ruins.

Li Hui delved deeper into the ley lines, quickly moving forward. After an hour, he stood on a cliff, looking down into an unfathomably dark abyss. He looked up and saw seven glowing orbs arranged like the Big Dipper pressing down, with countless ghostly beings drifting in the air.

“Not good! The Tian Xuan Star and Tian Quan Star are dimming; I have disrupted the formations left by my predecessors. This Yin Vein is so vast—if it bonds with the external ghostly beings to establish a teleportation array, it would be akin to opening the Ghost Gate. The Haotu Sect, gathering all its disciples, would barely last a day.”

After uncovering the truth, Li Hui asked, “Guang Jin, how many ghostly beings can we collect?”

“Currently, there’s no problem; we need ghostly beings to attack the Yin Ruins forbidden area. The master can collect as many as you wish. However, the Yin Vein is so vast that we don’t know where it leads; it’s likely a narrow seam into the Yin Realm, requiring extra caution to avoid awakening ghostly beings that we can’t handle.”

“Alright, I understand. You set up the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays in the Ancient City of Yin Ruins, having Mo Xinghe and Bai Yulian help, preparing to attract and gather dark energy to cultivate the second Yang Gu.” Li Hui began to make arrangements, needing to weaken the influence of the Yin Veins and minimize the potential disasters, lest the seven ancient tombs above could not hold back, and incidents would inevitably occur.

The original bug worms are easily formed, but the critical part relies on postnatal evolution.

The Yin Thunder Talisman is extremely dangerous and violent; it’s estimated that it would require ten times the amount of dark energy that was consumed to cultivate the first Yang Gu before its scale becomes apparent. Whether it can truly transform into a Yang Gu ultimately depends on fate.

“Come on! Ghostly beings, there is boundless vitality here!” Li Hui raised the Golden Shell, inducing heart palpitations in the practitioners and members of the Blood Talisman Sect who had previously been sent to the Buddhist nation, realizing they were now being used as bait!

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” The sinister wind howled as a massive number of ghostly beings flocked over.

“Ancient City of Yin Ruins, Jieyin!”

Li Hui, truly bold and daring, stood on the cliff, collecting the ghostly beings to weaken the power of the Yin Veins as much as possible.

“Collect, collect, collect…”

“Even if I can’t subdue this Yin Vein right now, in the future, I can turn this place into a strength.” In a flash of thought, the Golden Shell had collected tens of thousands of drifting ghostly beings, while more ghostly beings poured in from afar, endless in number.
