Alien Science Cultivation

A moment later, Wang Yan's token lit up again. "Haha... Chen Ying, your porcelain clothes are indeed effective. Now ordinary cultivators can equip them. You are currently the leader of the merit cards, but it is now recorded under my name... And Zhang Qiang, your idea is very bold, but the higher-ups have changed our team's original plan and granted our team the privilege of free movement. The observation mission here has been replaced by other teams..." Wang Yan happily recounted every message from the token. Wang Yan uploaded the information in her own tone, and naturally she had her considerations. After all, she was the team leader, and she could take on some things. The merits could be divided later. The moment Wang Yan could say it clearly, Chen Ying, Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Wuyou looked up to Wang Yan from the bottom of their hearts, especially Zhang Wuyou.

"Sister...was it this girl who healed me...? She's so familiar with ghosts..." Wang Yu's words instantly brought the atmosphere to a state of silence. Chen Ying looked at Zhang Qiang, Zhang Wuyou looked bewildered, Wang Yu looked at Chen Ying, and Wang Yan's eyes flickered. After a moment, Wang Yan responded, "No...you'll know when the time comes...Right now, you should focus on how to get in, what to do next...what to pay attention to...? Don't mention anything else...this is a military order..."

"Yes...Team Leader..."

Zhang Qiang, however, was still lost in thought, not taking their conversation seriously. He didn't care about his achievements, nor did he care whether Wang Yu knew the truth. After all, no one knew what would happen after this war.

After a moment, Zhang Qiang recovered from his thoughts and glanced at the sun in the sky. It was noon, the time when spiritual energy completely suppressed the Guixu Qi. "Move out... Advance stealthily... Enter the restricted area as quickly as possible. Ghosts won't approach the entrance at this time, and their perception abilities are at their weakest. This is the safest time to enter the restricted area, and it's also the most likely time to approach the cave entrance and determine how ghosts enter and exit..." Zhang Qiang telegraphed to Wang Yan. Wang Yan immediately moved. Everyone took a look at her porcelain dress and followed Wang Yan.

An hour later, as they approached the Moon-Watching Forbidden Zone, they discovered that the dense black shadows were not only composed of ghostly monks, but also countless ghostly beasts and chariots. Rows of various energy cannons were placed one after another, and that was just the visible area. Deep in the darkness, it was impossible to estimate how many unknown entities there were. Within the vast forbidden zone, the ghosts were barely wide enough for a person to pass, standing in rows and rows across the entire ground, and countless flying magical weapons filled the air. It seemed that there was no way to enter the depths of the forbidden zone.

Just as everyone was at their wit's end, an underground passage mysteriously and slowly emerged from the mound of earth before Zhang Qiang. With the exception of Chen Ying and Zhang Qiang, the other three stared at the passage in disbelief. They could not sense the energy fluctuations that formed it. Several people prepared for attack, but only when Zhang Qiang and Chen Ying boldly bent over and entered did they realize that the passage had been opened by either Zhang Qiang or Chen Ying. Then, everyone filed in. Zhang Qiang, with his spiritual sense fully activated, sensed the concentration of spiritual energy ahead, constantly adjusting the passage's direction, heading towards the area with the highest spiritual energy density. Zhang Wuyou, at the rear of the group, was stunned and bewildered. He didn't understand what this method was; it was far beyond his understanding of cultivation. He kept looking back at the slowly filling passage. Silently, there was no sign of any disturbance in the soil. Gradually, he realized the terrifying power of their group was far beyond his comprehension.

"Hmm...what's wrong with these ghosts...?" Zhang Qiang was puzzled and stopped.

At that moment, thousands of ghosts, gathered for unknown reasons, crouched humbly before a ghost in the early stages of the Tribulation Crossing stage, their eyes filled with endless fear. However, among these ghosts, there were two in the early stages of the Immortal King Realm, more than ten in the Immortal Realm, and over a hundred in the Feather Transformation Realm. Yet, at this moment, they seemed completely subdued by the ghost before them, unable to move an inch.

"This isn't realm suppression, it's soul suppression... Could it be that the ghost body is just the lowest level of ghostly creatures... The formation of the ghost body is a method used by the ghosts... It's a backup plan that the ghosts have planted in the human world..."

Everyone noticed Zhang Qiang's abnormality, but did not disturb him. After all, they were no different from blind people now, and Zhang Qiang was the eyes of this team.

After understanding the situation on the surface, Zhang Qiang sighed... The so-called ghosts were merely incompletely evolved ghosts. When encountering a true ghost, their spirits were drawn in, their bloodlines suppressed, and they had no power to resist. Even the most powerful ghosts couldn't escape the control of a mere ghost. After understanding the situation, the team continued their advance. Three hours later, as the sky gradually darkened, the team finally found the circular cave entrance safely. The cave entrance was only about ten feet in diameter, far smaller than the smallest entrance to Hell in the Dark Forest. While the spiritual energy near the cave entrance was also dense, with irregular turbulence appearing, its aura was far inferior to that of Hell's entrance. Because of the turbulence, no ghosts were present near the cave entrance at this moment... Zhang Qiang's spiritual sense searched the cave entrance, searching up and down, left and right, for any signs of ghosts entering or leaving, but found nothing... No leaping devices or magic circles were found near the cave entrance, leaving Zhang Qiang and the others stunned...

"Leave them to a safe location... Zhang Wuyou and I will wait at the cave entrance... and see what they do during the night..." Zhang Qiang silently telegraphed to everyone. Chen Ying turned around, led Wang Yan and Wang Yu back slowly. Aside from Chen Ying, the other three, though puzzled, followed Zhang Qiang's instructions. After confirming that the passage had been opened by Zhang Qiang, everyone understood his unique and powerful nature. Unknowingly, Zhang Qiang became the team's second leader. As time passed, the aura of Guixu began to slowly appear near the cave entrance. "Sit down and sense the changes in the spiritual energy of the space... and see if you can find anything..." Zhang Qiang telegraphed to Zhang Wuyou. Zhang Wuyou glanced at Zhang Qiang with a puzzled expression, then sat down, closed his eyes, and began to sense the changes in the space around him. A moment later, Zhang Wuyou awoke from his state of perception and looked at Zhang Qiang in disbelief, as if he wanted to say something... but dared not. "I forgot... you still can't telegraph... that's the aura of Guixu... Although you have the Sword Heart's Radiant Physique... your radiance isn't the golden yang aura, but the dark yin aura..."
