Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

Yun Zihan's all-out attack indeed shattered the spatial seal laid down by the Yin Corpse. At the same time, the small space collapsed and annihilated due to the inability to withstand such a large amount of energy, and spatial cracks were generated all around. Fortunately, because the spatial seal was broken, the original Five Elements Restriction was also broken at the same time. Ah Zhong and Yun Mu Ning had recovered their fighting strength. With their current cultivation and agility, they were not without a chance of survival. On the contrary, Gao Zhun, who had been invaded by Yin Sha Qi and Corpse Qi, was completely unaware of the danger around her. It seemed that she only had Ah Zhong and Yun Mu Ning, the two prey she had identified, and she approached them step by step without hesitation.

This made it even more difficult for Ah Zhong and Yun Mu Ning to escape. They were already struggling to avoid the spatial rift, but now they also had to be wary of their teammate Gao Zhun, which was quite troublesome.

Suddenly, a massive spatial rift formed between Gao Zhun and A Zhong. This rift was significantly taller than A Zhong, and the aura emanating from it sent a shiver down Gao Zhun's spine, who had almost lost her mind. The bloodshot in her eyes faded slightly, but she smiled bitterly at the numerous wounds covering her body. She had been too careless, failing to activate her Purple Heaven Thunder Spirit Body and instead relying on her flesh and blood to withstand the attack. However, she had no other choice at the time. With so many endless ghosts to kill, she really didn't want to waste extra spiritual energy maintaining her Purple Heaven Thunder Spirit Body. She only wanted to hold on for a moment longer for the two people behind her who couldn't use their spiritual energy, never imagining that she would suffer a qi deviation as a result.

However, the gigantic spatial rift before her brought her back to her senses. The calming aura emanating from it was the same one she and Ah Zhong had simultaneously sensed upon entering the cavern. Of course, the aura emanating from the spatial rift was far more concentrated than that within the cavern itself, seemingly the source of the calming aura. After only a moment's hesitation, she stepped into the spatial rift. Such a large rift naturally wouldn't risk tearing her apart, and it would allow her to reach a corner of the cavern. At this moment, she, who was on the verge of succumbing to demonic possession, was merely a burden among the group; it was better to enter the spatial rift and seek the opportunities of her journey.

Although she only caught a glimpse of it for a moment, she still noticed something. This spatial rift was not caused by Yun Zihan's attack, but by someone casting a spell from elsewhere to take Yun Zihan's strongest attack away from the chaotic battle and to that person's location. In that case, why shouldn't she go and do it?

Of course, before she entered the spatial rift, she left a divine thought for Ah Zhong, telling him her guesses about the Yin Corpse in the cave along the way, hoping to help the group.

As soon as Gao Zhun stepped into the spatial rift, the rift closed and vanished completely. As for Ah Zhong, who was closest to him, he had just finished digesting the divine thought left to him by Gao Zhun, but in an instant, he was also unable to follow.

"Gao Zhun (Master)!" Yun Mu Ning and A Zhong shouted at the vanished spatial rift, but apart from the echoes from the entire Yin Sha Cave, there was no other response.

“Ning’er, you two don’t need to worry. I don’t think that young friend is a person of bad luck. He may not be as dangerous as us on this journey. Our mission now is to destroy this cave and bring that Yin Corpse to its end!”

Yun Mu Ning and Ah Zhong looked at Yun Zi Han, who had spoken these words, and instinctively felt that there was truth in her words. They were immediately relieved. Indeed, with a formidable enemy at hand, as long as they subdued the Yin Corpse, what danger would Gao Zhun encounter?

Only then did Ah Zhong recall the wisp of divine thought Gao Zhun had left in his mind before leaving, and said, "Just now, before leaving, Master told me that the reason why that Yin Corpse kept using some ghosts with low cultivation to ambush us, and even used illusion arrays, spatial blockades and the Five Elements Restriction Techniques, seemed to be that its methods were overwhelming, but in reality it was all bark and no bite. It seems that this Yin Corpse has either been seriously injured before, or it is still unable to move easily. Therefore, Master told us to break it with force and go straight to its heart!"

Upon hearing Ah Zhong's words, Yun Zihan suddenly felt enlightened. The strange feeling she had had about this cave from the beginning vanished. She laughed heartily and said, "What a brilliant insight! She has seen through this Yin Sha Cave without making a sound. Alright, then let's follow her advice and go straight for the heart of the matter!"

Upon hearing Yun Zihan's words, the Mahayana cultivators behind her also shone with admiration, making no attempt to hide their appreciation for the girl who had vanished from this place. Yun Muning, on the other hand, felt a little more at ease. The fact that she was able to inform Ah Zhong about this matter before stepping into the spatial rift showed that she had entered no dangerous place. They could simply kill the Yin Corpse and wait for Gao Zhun's return.

Although Gao Zhun was certain that the point connecting the spatial rifts wouldn't be dangerous, she underestimated the spatial turbulence within them. According to cultivation levels, only those at the Nascent Soul stage possessed the ability to tear through space and teleport thousands of miles instantly. After all, only after undergoing two tribulations of advancement could a human cultivator's fragile body withstand the power of spatial turbulence. However, she wasn't entirely without a solution. At this moment, Gao Zhun silently activated the Purple Lightning Power hidden within her body. A layer of pale purple lightning power covered her entire body, forming a thin lightning shield. This lightning shield shouldn't be underestimated. Having tested its power, Gao Zhun stated that simply relying on this lightning shield, her physical strength could withstand attacks from Nascent Soul stage cultivators—it was practically a tortoise shell. Therefore, although Gao Zhun was in discomfort, she wasn't as badly injured as a typical Nascent Soul cultivator from the spatial turbulence.

However, as the Purple Lightning enveloped her entire body, the Yin energy and corpse energy within her wounds were gradually forced out, which was an unexpected bonus. Since lightning tribulations are generally effective against evil, this didn't surprise Gao Zhun too much. She simply subconsciously concentrated more lightning power on her wounds, and a tingling sensation traveled directly to the depths of her consciousness, making her want to groan. Within a quarter of an hour, the Yin energy and corpse energy on her body were mostly refined by her Purple Lightning. The remaining energy would be completely eliminated after a few days of rest, eliminating any risk of demonic possession.

A quarter of an hour isn't a long time, but it was enough for Gao Zhun to pass through the spatial rift and reach the other space it connected to. Gao Zhun appeared in a glittering golden stone chamber. As soon as he landed, before he could even adjust to the solid ground beneath his feet, he felt a wave of dizziness. It turned out that the golden light emanating from the stone chamber was actually a Buddhist shrine, and the dizzying sensation he had felt earlier was caused by the Buddha statue within the shrine gazing at him.

Gao Zhun glanced at the shrine with lingering fear, but dared not look directly at it again. Why was there such a stone chamber here, with a shrine inside? Looking around, she also noticed incense tables, wooden fish drums, and prayer mats, among other Buddhist items. This made her brows furrow even more. She clearly sensed that the Yin Sha Cave where she had been before was just outside this stone chamber. But why would those evil cultivators who created this cave specifically carve out a Buddhist hall here? Wasn't this a slap in the face?

Gao Zhun was completely baffled, but then she noticed a mahogany box on the altar, as if it had been specially prepared for anyone who had strayed into this place. After a moment's hesitation, Gao Zhun took the mahogany box. Since she was already here, she could tell that the stone chamber was completely sealed off, with incredibly sturdy walls. Moreover, even with her current cultivation level, her Eye of Truth-Seeing couldn't penetrate it. It seemed that she couldn't leave this place alone. In that case, she might as well see what was inside the mahogany box and whether it contained a way to escape.

With a creak, the redwood box, which only had one layer of protection, was quickly broken by Gao Zhun. When he opened the box, there was nothing inside; it was completely empty, leaving her dumbfounded.

However, Gao Zhun soon discovered something was wrong. The mahogany box was actually a mechanism related to the Buddhist shrine. As the mahogany box was opened, the Buddha statue in the shrine immediately rose into the air, and the shrine became empty. There was a small hole under where the Buddha statue originally stood. Gao Zhun was not afraid of any traps or ambushes. This was a Buddhist shrine, and the person who arranged this place had no intention of harming anyone.

With this outstretched hand, Gao Zhun indeed produced two items: a jade slip and a miniature rosewood box, about half the size of her palm. Gao Zhun first attached a wisp of her divine sense to the jade slip, but she hadn't expected the sheer amount of information within it to nearly burst her sea of ​​consciousness. As all the information was entered into Gao Zhun's sea of ​​consciousness, the jade slip in her hand shattered inch by inch, eventually transforming into a sky full of starlight and disappearing from the mortal world. However, the contents of the jade slip stirred up a monstrous storm in her mind.

Just as Gao Zhun suspected, this Buddhist temple was built by a Buddhist cultivator, who was the very person who was killed here tens of thousands of years ago. Originally, the dozen or so evil cultivators intended to turn this place into a Yin Sha Cave that would specifically harvest human lives. They also wanted to lure the ghost formed from the resentment of the Buddhist cultivator before his death to the outside world, hoping to cause a bloodbath in the Yatian City region. Their ultimate goal was to shake the foundation of the Yun family!

Those evil cultivators hadn't anticipated that this Buddhist practitioner had reached such a high level of mastery. He sacrificed one of his external avatars to extinguish the resentment within his primordial spirit. However, he understood that over time, his physical body would inevitably be affected, turning him into a corpse. He was powerless to stop this, and could only sacrifice his primordial spirit to create this Buddhist shrine within the cave, leaving behind a wisp of divine thought to await the arrival of a destined person.
