Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 434 - 433: An Unconventional Cultivation Sect
The Corpse-Driving Sect is best known for its expertise in controlling various evil spirits, ghost demons, and evil corpses, particularly those sinister corpses, which is practically the signature skill of the Sect’s disciples.
Especially since the Elder Ghost drew up such a vast Nine Yin Corpse Nourishing Land, investing much time and resources, clearly there was a precise purpose, not a useless endeavor.
From this, it’s evident that the other party must have had some plan during their lifetime!
Though from a conventional standpoint, the Elder Ghost should have exhausted his lifespan and vanished into oblivion.
However, demonic cultivators often have the ability to turn the impossible into possible; even if the Elder Ghost truly dissipated, he surely left behind some means or contingency.
In any case, this place is quite dangerous and must be approached with caution.
While Gu Yuan was pondering, Old Man Hu couldn’t help but ask cautiously, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Gu, what brings the two of you to this place?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Gu Yuan snapped back to reality, glanced at him, and didn’t hide: "My purpose is quite similar to yours. This place is in Qinzhou, within my Medicine King Mountain’s territory. Since there are traces of demonic cultivators, naturally, it must be thoroughly investigated."
"Furthermore, this Ancient Cultivator Cave Mansion has caused some issues lately, with many sinister entities escaping and causing some troubles, so this cave mansion must be thoroughly cleansed."
"I see..."
Old Man Hu looked enlightened.
As a True Disciple of Medicine King Mountain, Gu Yuan indeed has such responsibilities. Especially since Old Man Hu heard that in recent years, Medicine King Mountain has had some displeasure with the Primordial Nether Sect, hence being particularly wary of demonic cultivators.
However, Gu Yuan’s earlier mention of "Qinzhou being Medicine King Mountain’s territory" made Qin Ming frown slightly.
As a Demon Suppression Captain of the Demon Suppression Bureau under the Great Jin Dynasty, from his upbringing, the knowledge and understanding he gained was that this world belongs to the Great Jin Dynasty.
Even in the Southern Border, where Jin’s control is weak, it is still Jin’s governed land.
These sects and cultivation families are all unstable and dangerous factors!
Thus, Gu Yuan’s words just now instinctively made Qin Ming feel a bit of dislike for Gu Yuan.
Yet, outwardly, he merely glanced more at Gu Yuan without revealing it.
Qin Ming understood well that martial heroes violate bans by force, and scholars disrupt laws with words.
The Demon Suppression Bureau or the Great Jin Dynasty naturally stands in opposition to these major sects and family factions.
What happens secretly remains to be seen, but at least outwardly, it’s best not to arouse trouble.
Especially since the other party is acknowledged as a peerless genius among the younger generation in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm, a Primordial Spirit Seed!
Qin Ming cultivates the body, pursuing the path of physical ascension.
However, compared to Gu Yuan whose body cultivation is nearing the Yin Spirit Realm, his cultivation hasn’t even reached Celestial Human Realm Great Success. Although Qin Ming hides his dislike well, how could Gu Yuan, whose divine soul has a trace of essence, not sensitive to this?
Realizing that Qin Ming was somewhat displeased with him, Gu Yuan initially found it baffling but soon understood, linking it to his earlier words and the other’s identity.
If in the other’s position, being displeased with Gu Yuan’s words is not surprising.
But if standing in Gu Yuan’s position...
Isn’t the so-called Great Jin Dynasty just another kind of cultivation sacred land?
Aren’t those esteemed individuals and royal family in the Great Jin like different sect leaders, elders, and supreme elders?
The Great Jin Dynasty sees the whole world as its property; has it asked those ancient sacred lands, families?
Has it asked the numerous large and small cultivation forces in the world?
Admitting that most of Central Earth is under the Great Jin’s control, claiming it as the Great Jin’s territory, Gu Yuan wouldn’t deny it.
But this is the Southern Border, occupied and propagated by various cultivation forces.
The Great Jin’s influence in the Southern Border cannot remotely compare to Medicine King Mountain’s power, yet it takes the Southern Border as its own and is displeased with disciples like Gu Yuan; isn’t that amusing?
However, since the other did not express it, Gu Yuan would not do anything.
If they truly cannot find their position and want to cause trouble, Gu Yuan would certainly not hold back.
"Heh..."
Gu Yuan glanced at Qin Ming, then casually looked at Old Man Hu, saying: "Our purposes are quite similar. Next, will you join us or act separately?"
"This..."
Old Man Hu’s thoughts quickly churned; being aged and shrewd, he naturally knew that though Gu Yuan was asking, there was an invitation within his words.
But among cultivators, strength often reigns supreme.
Should he agree, the following actions would obviously be led by Gu Yuan.
Being from the Demon Suppression Bureau of the court, yet listening to the disciple of a Great Immortal Sect, it would sound bad if spread, possibly inviting trouble and even embarrassing his superiors.
Besides, if any treasures are gained, who should take them, would it be them or Gu Yuan?
Thinking this, Old Man Hu smiled, "Thank you, senior, but we have some other matters to handle, so... this..."
Old Man Hu didn’t finish his sentence, but Gu Yuan understood, nodding, "Alright, then we shall do our own thing."
Since the other party is unwilling, he wouldn’t insist.
Old Man Hu felt slightly relieved, then led Qin Ming and Xu Hui deeper along the right.
Their figures quickly disappeared into the mist.
Gu Yuan called out to Mei Changshan and took the lead entering the cave from the left.
Within this cave, due to the restriction array setup, once cultivators enter, they’re subjected to a certain degree of restraint.
Cultivation operation is unhindered, yet escaping techniques for flying become restricted, obviously limiting the capabilities of high-leaping cultivators.
With escape techniques ineffective, if approached closely by demons, the risk inevitably increases.
This might also be why body cultivator Qin Ming came here.
In such a place, those with strong physiques, unafraid of close combat, have an advantage.
Moreover, entering the cave confuses even one’s sense of direction, with surrounding gray, slow-moving mist, making it impossible to distinguish east, west, north, or south.
However, Gu Yuan’s spiritual sense is exceptionally sharp, allowing him to determine the rough direction towards the cave’s depths.
The two stepped into the Nine Yin Corpse Nourishing Land, feeling the pervasive mist, accompanied by faint cries and howls penetrating their minds, making them tremble, dizzy, as if plunged into an ice cave, with strands of sinister Qi continuously invading.
