In the center of the Land of Death, a scarlet light shot skyward, piercing into the dark clouds, emitting an extremely unusual Yin Sha aura. If a Yin Sha Evil Spirit existed within this Land of Death, the central area would undoubtedly be the most likely place.

However, around the Land of Death, the scarlet covered the sky, forming sinister shapes, and the hundred-mile expanse of the Land of Death was devoid of life. Dark clouds hung densely above, obscuring light and cutting off Spiritual Qi. Below were blood-red swamps that moved with the sinister aura, as if alive. Divine Sense could not penetrate beyond a thousand feet; what the eyes saw was uncertain and confusing.

The cave mansion was only thirty miles from the center of the Land of Death, but the dangers of these thirty miles seemed endless. Yun Ni, Yue Yinrong, and the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator left, felt a chill when their Divine Senses probed the area. Upon realizing there was a prohibition against flying, they dared not even think of venturing in.

Thirty miles, if flown, would be manageable, but having to walk them could very well be a path of certain death.

"Brother Han, I have sensed that the item I need is in the center of this Innate Death Land." But Feng Jue immediately sent a voice transmission to Wen Jiu, quite urgently, "If Brother Han assists me today, apart from the item I need, all the opportunities in the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion will go to you, and I will do my utmost to help you obtain them."

Feng Jue’s voice transmission faintly showed worry that he might withdraw.

Wen Jiu did not refuse, responding by voice transmission, "The Land of Death is perilous. The accumulated Yin Evil Qi inside is enough to corrode any Foundation Establishment Cultivator. If Brother Feng has any Secret Technique up his sleeve, now’s the time to use it."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Feng Jue nodded eagerly.

He had Secret Techniques, willing even to sacrifice lifespan, but feared that Han Li would not help.

But he was unaware that Wen Jiu had been internally struggling over whether to back out. Because according to Qi Guan Mountain’s memories, the Yin Sha Evil Spirit was exceedingly rare; even in a hundred years, the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks might not find one.

If missed, waiting was the only option. Wen Jiu had used the Fate Technique to divine, locking onto the East Spring Undying Bone, searching for the nearby Yin Sha Evil Spirit. As expected, the center region thirty miles away truly held one.

Should he help Feng Jue acquire it, or claim it for himself, Wen Jiu struggled somewhat, so he also used the Corpse Fate Technique to divine the locations of other Yin Sha Evil Spirits.

The result showed that throughout the Divine Fall Mountain Range, except for the Little Demon Realm and the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion, there were no other places that contained Yin Sha Evil Spirits. Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that other places might be similarly concealed like the Ancient Evil Cultivator’s Cave Mansion.

But after finding a third location, if he didn’t seize the one here, he would have to contend with the Heterodox Golden Core in the Little Demon Realm.

After much hesitation, Wen Jiu continued to use the Corpse Fate Technique to divine, but the results were still inconclusive. Comparing the required corpse energy for the two locations, he found that both required ninety percent, not differing at all.

Yet the Yin Sha Evil Spirit in the Little Demon Realm should have required more corpse energy due to its contamination by the Heterodox Golden Core.

Thus, after careful, repeated use of the Fate Technique and observing the Earth Destiny Star connections in the Dark Realm, Wen Jiu concluded to help Feng Jue enter, as this place harbored two types of Yin Sha Evil Spirits.

"Brother Feng, let’s make it quick." Controlling the East Spring Undying Bone, Wen Jiu jumped directly down, landing at the edge of the Land of Death, ignoring Yue Yinrong and the others. His initial promise was merely to bring Yue Yinrong to the mansion.

Feng Jue immediately followed, once again casting the Secret Technique he used when facing Gu Qiao, raising his cultivation to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. However, unlike before, he donned a Crimson Streaming Light Robe, a Tier Two Top Grade item, blocking the incoming Yin Evil Qi at a distance of three feet.

It was just after Feng Jue followed the East Spring Undying Bone into the area that he suddenly transmitted a voice message, truthfully revealing the matter of the Yin Sha Evil Spirit. This surprised Wen Jiu, wondering whether Feng Jue trusted him or feared he might not be able to handle him later.

"Brother Han, Feng Mou does not wish to turn hostile with you over the Yin Sha Evil Spirit; holding back wasn’t an easy decision." Feng Jue, disregarding the sigh of his soul, spoke honestly.

For Feng Jue’s candor, Wen Jiu believed eighty percent, however, he still didn’t disclose the divination results and analysis of the Corpse Fate Technique, simply transmitting back, "If there truly is a Yin Sha Evil Spirit, Brother Feng should compensate me a bit more in time. I am only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, and the road to Golden Core is still far; there will be other opportunities to seek the Yin Sha Evil Spirit later."

"Thank you, Brother Han, once out, there will surely be great rewards, not to disappoint Brother Han." Feng Jue responded immediately.

"Beware, this place may contain a True Demon." Wen Jiu transmitted a reminder, not continuing the topic further.

...

A moment later.

With Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, donned in his protective robe, Feng Jue advanced swiftly and safely.

Wen Jiu, relying on the corpse body of the East Spring Undying Bone, broke through more smoothly, absorbing the Yin Evil Qi as he went to cultivate himself. The Yin Evil Qi in this Innate Death Land was far richer than that of the Little Demon Realm.

If not for the potential of Golden Core Cultivators or Tier Three Great Demons arriving at any time, he would have wanted to cultivate here for a couple of years.

Wherever one nurtures corpses, it is still nurturing corpses.

Despite the increasing danger as they went deeper, for Feng Jue, it was bearable because he had also brought out a Tier Two Top Grade Yin Protective Talisman. Given by Master Pei, designed to ward against attacks from Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators.

Wen Jiu naturally didn’t allow the East Spring Undying Bone to keep pushing onward, opting instead to follow behind Feng Jue.

Over thirty miles, the deeper they went, the slower the pace, taking a full hour to approach the core region of the Innate Death Land. As they stepped into the core zone, a scarlet pillar of light soared skyward, and ten yards away, a seven-colored hundred-petaled flower, ablaze with a Golden Flame, swayed in the wind, emanating the massive aura of a Yin Sha Demon Spirit. This continually washed over their Protective Talisman, creating incessant friction noises.
