The two of them were refreshed and after working hard for nearly two months, they finally saw a glimmer of hope. He burst out with powerful cultivation and killed the underworld beasts blocking him one by one.
The long battle made their auras more condensed. Cheng Ling and Yang Hongqiu's realms steadily improved, and Su Yi reached the peak of the Nine Star Mysterious Immortal Realm. If it weren't for the limited spiritual energy of the Earthly Immortal here, he would have been able to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm long ago.
It's just that there are more Yin spirits and underworld beasts in front of the gate, several times more than on the snake path. Cheng Ling's figure was like electricity, constantly shuttling between those underworld beasts and ghosts, almost killing him if he touched them.
Yang Hongqiu's thunder spells hit the sky and covered the earth, and the entire sky was filled with violent purple thunder and lightning. In this way, it not only suppressed the creatures in the Netherworld, but also assisted Cheng Ling's attack.
Su Yi stood between the two of them, like a bridge, completely connecting the attack power. The three of them advanced slowly, getting closer and closer to the door ahead.
After advancing like this for ten days, they finally saw the entire outline of the gate. Just like what the Ghost Taoist said, the entire gate was very huge and almost entirely made of skulls. Waves of cold air spread around, making people shudder.
Cheng Ling's eyes narrowed. The aura emanating from this gate was the same as that in the secret room of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple. Could it be that he had been to the entrance to the hell realm before? Unfortunately, the distance between the two gates is unknown, so there is no way to compare them.
He could only put aside the residual thoughts in his mind and advance towards the gate while killing the Yin spirits.
It's just that there are too many Yin spirits and underworld beasts. More than ten days have passed, and almost tens of thousands have been killed, and they are still being replenished continuously. With a sweep of his consciousness, he found that both Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi had almost exhausted their spiritual power.
If this continues, they will be consumed to death!
With a thought, he said decisively: "Master, Su Yi, please stay by my side and don't let those Yin spirits and underworld beasts attack me."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, but Cheng Ling often did extraordinary things along the way and always found ways to turn danger into disaster, so they slowly moved closer to him.
The number of Yin spirits was so huge that it took nearly a day for the three of them to be separated by dozens of feet. Cheng Ling took out a bottle of healing elixir from the ring and handed it to them each. They must maintain firepower output for at least a period of time.
Next, he began to sit cross-legged on the ground, constantly deducing the formation position here in his mind.
After three days of this, all nodes were deduced. He just started to stand up, his body flashed, and the formation pillars hit the direction where the Yin spirits were gathered. However, there were more Yin spirits in the field at this time, and Cheng Ling was less powerful. Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi held on very hard.
Not only that, there were many red-haired, fanged, and light green-skinned weirdos standing beside the gate.
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed, and he felt a chill in his heart. He said through a voice message: "Be careful, those Yin spirits have higher cultivation levels and are not inferior to Yin souls."
Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi glanced at each other, and their expressions changed. Yang Hongqiu said: "Cheng Ling, why don't we give up, there are too many ghosts here."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Master, now it's not a matter of giving up. There are so many Yin spirits and they will definitely not let me leave easily. Originally, I wanted to keep them all out of the formation, but now it's a bit difficult. ”
"My formation level is not enough to trap those light green-skinned weirdos!"
"What should we do?" Yang Hongqiu asked anxiously.
"Let me think of a solution!"
After Cheng Ling finished speaking, his mind was racing. He and others have arrived at the entrance to the hell realm, and they must enter, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain. Moreover, according to what the Ghost Taoist said, the way back is completely impassable.
It's just that the number and cultivation of Yin spirits are gradually increasing now, and it's not cost-effective to fight them. Even if all the spirit-reviving pills he carries are used up, he is still not sure of killing them all. How can he catch them all in one fell swoop? The longer the delay is, the more disadvantageous it will be to oneself!
After thinking for a long time, I suddenly remembered that I could absorb the cold air here. Perhaps this is the only way. As for absorbing too much yin and cold power and causing the yin and yang in the body to become unbalanced again, it is no longer a concern.
He then said: "Master, I have thought of a way. Let's catch a Yin spirit and test it to see if it works!"
Yang Hongqiu nodded silently, and in a flash he came to a Yin spirit with a weaker cultivation level. He restrained him with a single point and brought him to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling came to the Yin Ling, put her fingers together and gently tapped his forehead. An extremely strong suction force was transmitted to the Yin spirit. The Yin spirit trembled all over. In less than a moment, its body became more and more transparent, and its breath gradually weakened. In the end, the entire spirit body was absorbed into Cheng Ling's body.
Yang Hongqiu was stunned and asked: "Cheng Ling, what are you doing?"
Cheng Ling closed his eyes and guided the cold air in his body to move around the world. After a while, the cold air was refined and injected into his dantian. He looked inside himself, and after absorbing the Yin spirit, the immortal power in his Dantian seemed to have increased a little.
It's just that the fairy spirit power in the body was originally transparent, but the Yin spirit's breath showed a trace of white. After running it several times, it doesn't seem to have any effect. According to his speculation, that trace of white also belonged to the aura of yin.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a harvest. Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi were lacking the cold aura. This method could not only kill the Yin spirits, but also compensate for the balance of Yin and Yang and improve their cultivation. It was a great weapon!
He opened his eyes and said with great joy: "Master, this method is feasible. It can not only help you achieve the balance of yin and yang in the immortal energy in your body, but also feed yourself back and improve your cultivation!"
The two of them became energetic after hearing this, and Su Yi asked: "How to refine it?"
Cheng Ling said: "Don't do anything. I will set up a formation later to gather all the cold energy into the formation. You just need to move it according to your own exercise route. But remember, don't do it at the beginning. Ingest too much and refine it slowly to prevent unexpected situations from happening!"
The two nodded and immediately returned to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling's eyes were like lightning, and he silently calculated the formation's position in his mind. After a moment, he said to Yang Hongqiu: "Master, pay attention to the red-haired and green-haired ghosts on both sides. If they make any move, stop them immediately. Don't let them disturb you!"
Yang Hongqiu nodded silently, his eyes shining as he stared at the ghosts in front of the gate. Fortunately, they didn't do anything, they just stood aside silently.
As soon as Cheng Ling gritted his teeth, his figure started to move, leaving hundreds of afterimages behind. The real body had already rushed into the group of Yin spirits, and the formation pillars were struck at the nodes of the deduction. In less than a while, several formations slowly rose up.
He set up three formations in front of the gate.
The first one is the Five Elements Tracing Formation. A hundred feet in front of the gate is covered by the formation. After those ghosts enter the formation, they can't tell the direction at all and can only spin in circles. In order to prevent the formation from being broken by a huge number of Yin spirits, we can only set a distance of a hundred feet.
The second one is the Big Dipper Killing Formation. After the Yin Spirits enter the Lost Formation, they use the power of the Killing Formation to kill them, causing the cold energy in their bodies to dissipate into the air.
The third one, the Spirit-Sealing Array, is set up on the periphery of the two formations to seal the cold air dissipating in the air. However, the Spirit-Sealing Array was originally intended to seal the dissipation of fairy spiritual power. He wasn't very sure whether Yin Qi would be useful, so he could only treat it like a dead horse.
After the formation rose, Cheng Ling retreated to where he was and began to pay attention to the reactions of the Yin spirits.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, all the Yin spirits within a hundred feet radius seemed to have lost their direction. They could not feel the presence of Cheng Ling and the others at all, and they were just walking back and forth in circles.
Immediately afterwards, the killing array was launched, and fireballs, electric grids, ice picks, and ground thorns appeared all over the sky, continuously killing the Yin spirits trapped by the array.
At this time, it was the critical moment. Cheng Ling's eyes were fixed on the last spirit-sealing formation. If these cold and cold air cannot be sealed, the best that can be done is to kill Yin spirits in large numbers, but in the long run more powerful Yin spirits will eventually appear.
Didn't you see those Yin spirits on the edge of the door ready to move?
Fortunately, after a long time, the spirit-sealing formation did not disappoint him. The cold energy that escaped after the death of the Yin spirit was all sealed within a hundred feet by the formation. The concentration of the cold energy inside reached a terrifying level. situation.
Cheng Ling took a deep breath and said: "Master, Su Yi, run the technique with all your strength. Success or failure depends on this one time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Page Technique was fully activated. In an instant, the cold air surged within the formation, and after a moment it gathered at the top of the head, pouring into the body like a funnel.
Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi took a look at it and started to operate the technique without hesitation. The three of them absorbed the cold power in the formation at the same time. This time, the movement was too loud.
Not only in the distance in front of the gate, but also in the thick white mist at the edge of the gate, Yin spirits and underworld beasts appeared from time to time, rushing over desperately. The spirit-sealing formation can only seal the cold power from being spread out, but the aura generated by the death of a large number of Yin spirits is spread out.
Just like the monks standing outside the formation saw the monks inside dying in large numbers, one can imagine how many resources will be left, not to mention that the Yin spirits can devour each other and grow.
The three of them didn't know that it caused such a big sensation. After a while, Cheng Ling felt that the formation began to fluctuate. He opened his eyes and was startled. He shouted to Yang Hongqiu: "Master,... We made too much noise, not only the Yin spirits came here, but also the Yin spirits and Yaksha monsters came, tens of thousands of them!"
Yang Hongqiu was startled, and when he saw the mysterious and numb Yin spirit in front of him, his hair stood on end and he said, "Cheng Ling, what should I do now?"
Cheng Ling gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, the formation can still last for a while. If we absorb these cold and cold energy and break through the realm, no matter how many Yin spirits we have, it won't matter!"
Yang Hongqiu smiled bitterly, knowing that Cheng Ling was comforting her. It is so easy to break through in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but currently we are outnumbered and we can only do our best to restore our own cultivation!
