Chapter 412: Chapter 215: Gu Qianqiu’s Death Shocks Both Sides

Moments later, the Evil Cultivator of the Three Life Gates painfully retreated a hundred miles. When he could no longer endure, he slipped into the rushing river, following the current to conceal himself and gradually recover his injuries.

When examining himself, he saw that his internal organs were nearly shattered by that treasured talisman, and anger surged from his heart.

It wasn’t hatred towards Gu Qianqiu.

But rather self-hatred for his own incompetence, for being unable to withstand the power of even a Tier Two Top Grade attack talisman. If he could have withstood it, Gu Qianqiu would never have escaped, and he could have perished alongside him.

To perish together with a Tier Two High-grade Talisman Master was the supreme glory for a member of the Hidden Kill Sect.

"Damn it!"

The Evil Cultivator of the Three Life Gates closed his eyes tightly and silently cursed. After a hundred breaths, he suddenly received a secret technique message from the sect.

[Immediately retreat from the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range. I have asked a Fake Pill Zhenren for a Fate Technique divination. That area has profound celestial secrets extending for thousands of miles, beyond the reach of Divine Sense. Entering it is akin to being blind. Calculating its exact location is far more severe than spying on a Golden Core Cultivator, and even Fake Pill Fate Technique Cultivators would lose thirty to fifty years of lifespan doing so.

The lifespan of a Fake Pill is not like the thousand-year leisurely lifespan of a Golden Core Zhenren, but only a hundred years more than Foundation Establishment. Both of our sect’s Fake Pill Fate Technique Cultivators are over two hundred years old, and no one dares to squander their lifespan like this.]

After receiving the message, the Evil Cultivator of the Three Life Gates sighed helplessly and ultimately chose to forcibly consume the Reversing Injury Yin Pill to leave quickly. However, before leaving, the image of that persistent Middle Stage Foundation Establishment appeared in his mind.

"That kid was only evenly matched with me after using the Life Burning Secret Technique. How dare he come to attack Gu Qianqiu?" He certainly didn’t think the other was following him because even if he stealthily hid, a Foundation Establishment Perfection couldn’t have discovered him. So the other’s appearance was likely coincidental.

But if it was coincidental, then that kid surely was reckless, perhaps not too smart.

Letting go of his thoughts, the Evil Cultivator of the Three Life Gates quickly vanished into the mountains and rivers, disappearing without a trace.

...

Inside the Wood Spirit Blessed Land.

Feng Jue waited anxiously for news. Gu Qianqiu was already at the end of his strength. If he wasn’t killed this time, all the previous efforts and costs would be in vain, making one feel somewhat unwilling.

A moment later.

The Communication Stone stirred.

Feng Jue probed it with Divine Sense and was overjoyed.

His soul couldn’t help but marvel, "For a Foundation Establishment to be able to glimpse Golden Core Level celestial secrets, this kid’s Divination Technique must come from that select few, and it’s highly probable he has received the full transmission."

Feng Jue couldn’t help but marvel as well, as his Divine Sense settled on the location transmitted by the Communication Stone.

North of the Wood Spirit Blessed Land, under the sixteenth Ground River Stele in the Fake Pill Inheritance Stone Monument Forest, five hundred miles away.

"Thank you!"

Speaking, Feng Jue immediately set off in pursuit.

On the other side, Wen Jiu watched as the Three Thousand Blood Inks entirely consumed the corpse aura and couldn’t help but marvel. It wasn’t the consumption of the corpse aura that amazed him, because the East Spring Undying Bone could replenish it at any time to full.

And it could be replenished about seven times.

Engaging multiple Golden Core Cultivators, his Fate Technique couldn’t predict it, but merely a celestial secret comparable to the Golden Core Level was effortlessly dealt with by the Corpse Fate Technique. His amazement was solely due to the opportunities within the Wood Spirit Blessed Land.

A single Blessed Land was already like this.

The Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks controlled over seventy percent of the cultivation Blessed Lands in Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks; who knows how many treasures there are.

"Stop right there; the world’s temptations are countless. For the sake of achieving a Heterodox Golden Core, I must hold steady," Wen Jiu immediately restrained his thoughts, suppressing his greed.

The Yin Sha Evil Spirit was already in hand, and following the steps was all that was needed; there was no need to take risks for these things. Losing a single corpse would mean even robbing ten Blessed Lands wouldn’t make up for it.

Gathering his thoughts, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but recall Feng Jue’s previous message: a Foundation Establishment Perfection Fate Technique Cultivator can’t use Fate Technique to predict Golden Core Level celestial secrets. Forcing a glimpse might deplete lifespan.

Yet the Three Thousand Blood Inks only needed to consume corpse aura.

"Following this logic, merely a Golden Core Level celestial secret is so elusive. If I deploy three Undying Bones and five East Spring Ghost Kings, that’s the opportunity of eight Golden Core Levels. Coupled with the Secret of Rebirth, even the Golden Core Fate Technique Cultivator of the Three Life Gates couldn’t forcibly glimpse my destiny."

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu felt increasingly at ease.

Once the Five Ghosts cross the tribulation and all enter Tier Two, his celestial secret would increase, making another divination of him even more difficult.

Gathering his thoughts.

Wen Jiu intently watched the positions of Gu Qianqiu and Feng Jue as shown on the Earth Destiny Star within the Dark Realm, guiding Feng Jue forward.

On the other side.

Feng Jue quickly pursued deep into the Wood Spirit Blessed Land. His speed already exceeded all Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators, even a few points faster than some Fake Pill Cultivators. To kill Gu Qianqiu as quickly as possible, Feng Jue held nothing back, using the Golden Core Level Divine Movement Secret Technique he had once obtained from the Six-armed Stone Statue to survive.

"A little to the front left." Receiving Wen Jiu’s message, Feng Jue adjusted his direction, continuing to speed onward.

In the blink of an eye, the Fake Pill Inheritance Stone Monument Forest arrived.

Without thinking, Feng Jue immediately charged towards the sixteenth stone stele.

Hidden within, Gu Qianqiu still held a glimmer of hope, wondering if the other was bluffing, but when he saw their deadly move decisively aimed at the right spot, Gu Qianqiu understood his position had been discovered.

Yet he had clearly used a Tier Two Top Grade Shield Talisman to protect himself, preventing any magical tracking.

How could someone in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment know he was beneath the sixteenth stone stele?
