The Master of Beasts-Chapter 615 - 164: The Source of Evil Spirits (Part 2)

"It really seems like it could be the Yellow Springs Wind. Let's seal it first, and as for reporting to the sect, I'd better contact Master first."

Chen Jiuge felt that there might be a big secret here, something beyond his reach.

After Chen Jiuge set up a large number of arrays around the pit and left, the wailing sounds of the Yin Wind inside the pit grew louder and louder, seemingly forming a strange whisper.

"I... have come!"

"I have come!"

"I have returned!"

No one noticed this eerie scene.

Meanwhile, Chen Jiuge also promptly reported the discovery of the Yellow Springs Wind to his master. However, Lou Boxuan was not at the sect, and Patriarch Shen Buhai was also absent, so they could only ask Grandmaster Shen Boyi to come and take a look.

....

"Dong"

A heavy sound echoed from Chen Jiuge's courtyard.

Shen Boyi casually brushed off nonexistent dust from himself and said with some pride, "My obedient grand-disciple, how do you think I look?"

Leather jacket and trousers, a small whip coiled at his waist, dreadlocks in his hair, and a pair of large sunglasses on his face—he looked just like a hip-hop rocker!

But this look seemed somewhat familiar!

"Grandmaster, what is this?" Chen Jiuge asked hesitantly.

"Hehe, this was recommended by Dabai. At first, it felt a bit uncomfortable, but now it feels quite nice. It's more interesting than those long robes I've worn for countless years," Shen Boyi said joyfully.

Chen Jiuge covered his forehead speechlessly, sighed, and said, "I knew it!"

"By the way, you said you discovered the Yellow Springs Wind here? Could it be a mistake? Other Yin Winds are quite similar!" Shen Boyi switched to the main topic.

Ordinary cultivators might not be aware of the Underworld's existence, but a major sect like the Five Elements Sect had records of it. The Underworld was real, but it rarely showed itself!

"Grandmaster, please come with me," Chen Jiuge shook his head and said.

Being able to freeze a Heavenly Immortal's body instantly, even causing damage, was something Chen Jiuge had never heard of. The physical power of Yin Wind was naturally lower than other spirit winds in attributes. A Yin Wind that could harm a Heavenly Immortal's body without anyone manipulating it was something he really hadn't heard of.

At the pit

Two stern-faced Spiritual Plant Masters were chatting idly.

"Why do you think the Great Steward wanted us to guard here? Zhong Ning was already soul-searched by the Law Enforcement Elder and was reportedly exiled to the expansion zone as a sinner."

"How would I know? The Great Steward said so, so we do it. Anyway, the number of Spiritual Insects in the valley has decreased, missing a day wouldn't be a big issue, and besides, the Great Steward gives us a lot of compensation!"

One of them had unknowingly approached the edge of the pit, looking directly at the large hole through the array's light curtain, feeling a sudden surge of excitement, "Do you think there might be a significant opportunity here?"

"How could that be possible? If there were a big opportunity, it wouldn't be our turn!"

"Come with me!"

"Come with me!"

"Come with me!"

Faint sounds echoed from within the array, instantly bewildering the Spiritual Plant Masters at the edge of the pit.

"Hehehe, a big opportunity, I want to become a Golden Immortal, I want to become a Daluo, I want to be the number one Immortal in the True Realm!"

"Plop"

A dull thud of a falling body sounded, startling the other Spiritual Plant Master to check, followed shortly by another dull sound.

When Chen Jiuge and Shen Boyi arrived at the scene, it was already empty.

"Where are they?" Chen Jiuge asked with some dissatisfaction.

These Spiritual Plant Masters seemed so honest, yet they were slacking off with such an easy task!

"Something must have happened!" Shen Boyi said, blocking Chen Jiuge with a serious expression.

Two vague shadows floated inside the array, Shen Boyi inquired, "Look, are these the people you arranged?"

Chen Jiuge looked and his face turned somewhat ugly, "I arranged them!"

"It seems this is indeed no simple thing!"

"Whoosh"

A delicate ring flew out from Shen Boyi's sleeve, passed through the array without a ripple, emitting a bright Buddha Light!

"Buzz buzz buzz"

Two soul shadows were quickly dissipated, but then a pitch-black wind emerged from the bottom, completely engulfing the circle, leaving it motionless.

"Hmm"

With a muffled hum, Shen Boyi smiled wryly: "My dear disciple, you have indeed discovered something extraordinary this time. Report it to the Sect; this is beyond my ability to resolve."

"Master, is it really Yellow Springs Wind?" Chen Jiuge asked, uncertainly.

"If it were Yellow Springs Wind, it would be fine. At least there's documentation on that, and without someone controlling it, at most it would threaten a Heavenly Immortal. But this thing is different, a Golden Immortal might encounter an accident!" Shen Boyi shook his head.

"What is this thing then?"

"It's likely the legendary Evil Ghost Origin!" Shen Boyi said with a serious expression.

Long, long ago, the True Realm was also chaotic. At that time, the Demon Clan and Human Clan had not become the two major protagonists of the world, and many races competed with each other here, with evil ghosts being one of them.

Legend has it that every evil ghost has a frenzied obsession with flesh. They are born with formidable bodies, able to manipulate Yin Wind, and dissolve the life span and Dao Fruit of cultivators. Such an indefensible method was resisted by all races, so evil ghosts were jointly attacked and eventually disappeared into history.

Yet the legends of evil ghosts still circulated. Many bored Golden Immortals, Daluo, have read this part of history.

"Five Elements Heavenly Lock!"

"Crash crash crash"

The five-colored chains danced across the sky, deeply penetrating the ground along the pit, with complex array patterns evolving in the void.

"My dear disciple, you can also learn this divine skill when you have time. The Five Elements Heavenly Lock is a great method whether for sealing or trapping enemies." Shen Boyi said while manipulating the chains to seal the pit.

"This must be quite difficult!" Chen Jiuge gathered immortal power, his eyes flashing with spirit light, looking at the complex patterns on each chain, his mouth twitched.

One chain has 129,600 runes, how high could the difficulty of this cultivation be!

"It is quite challenging, generally practiced only by Golden Immortals. But my disciple is surely a genius, I'm sure you'll manage!" Shen Boyi laughed heartily.

Chen Jiuge chuckled, wanting to thank him, though he felt he wasn't quite the genius!

"I'll try my best." Chen Jiuge said perfunctorily.

"No need to try, you can start now."

"Biu"

A spirit light was sent by Shen Boyi into Chen Jiuge's sea of consciousness, containing the cultivation method for the Five Elements Heavenly Lock, with vast information causing Chen Jiuge to stagger.

"Alright, let's leave it at this for now. I'll personally report to the Sect, Meanwhile, control the area to prevent anyone from approaching. The era of evil ghosts is too distant, I don't know if the sealing will hold." Shen Boyi instructed.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Jiuge nodded seriously.

....

Chen Jiuge thought someone from above would soon come to inspect the pit, but waited for a month.

Using magic to raise a platform, Chen Jiuge looked at the noticeably dimmer seal, feeling a bit troubled: "Still no one coming, and I can't contact Master either, it's really a hassle!"

"Woo woo woo"

The previously faint wailing wind became sharper, even causing the area several meters around the seal to turn somber, and this area continued to expand.

"How strange, why is this thing under Zhong Ning's residence? Did the Law Enforcement Disciples really find nothing during their search?" Chen Jiuge reserved opinion on this, feeling that maybe the Five Elements Sect is being targeted.

"Let me see if this will help!"

No one was sent from above, but Chen Jiuge was not one to sit and wait for doom.

In this month, he cultivated two spiritual beasts with extreme Yin attributes—Yin Snake and Ghost Crow.

"Although they only have True Immortal cultivation, they're naturally fond of Yin Qi, they should be fine."

Spiritual beasts fond of Yin Qi were sparse, these two were specifically enhanced by Chen Jiuge using Golden Finger for their ability related to Yin Qi, considered true pure Yin creatures.

"Hiss hiss hiss" "Caw caw caw"

Cold, piercing cries sounded, as the snake and crow happily approached the pit. To prevent accidents, Chen Jiuge contracted the two beasts, not just any contract, but a genuine Heavenly Dao Contract.

"If the factor infecting the area is Yin Qi, the two beasts should slightly slow down the infection speed, but need to observe for a few days. If effective, then need to proceed with large-scale acquisition of spiritual beasts with the bloodline of these two."

Leaving Yin Snake and Ghost Crow behind, Chen Jiuge didn't linger, this place always gave him a very unpleasant feeling.

From the pitch-black pit bottom, a pair of blurry eyes vaguely appeared: "Sunlight, life, familiar spirits, how nostalgic!"

The murmuring sigh was barely audible and lasted only a moment.
