Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Right now, only the most crucial main material, the [High-Tier Spirit Beast Gastric Bag], is missing.

But this is the key item, because the [Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag] needs to fuse various toxic gases and be resilient enough, so the best material is naturally the gastric bag of a high-tier spirit beast.

However, this item is extremely hard to find in the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, after all, the ghost bodies here are strange and diverse, and there are basically no organs with similar functions to a gastric bag.

But since Chu Xiu decided to refine this item, he naturally would not overlook the issue of the main material. There are many substitutes for the [Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag], as long as they serve a similar function.

Chu Xiu is still selecting now, but he just wants to refine a product of higher quality as much as possible.

He does not merely regard this item as a means to escape. With so much Death Qi here, if he can refine a high-quality [Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag] and absorb and refine it, it would count as a powerful trump card for him.

Chu Xiu glanced around; he had already selected other materials according to very high standards, but even so, he still had over 120 jin of Yin Stone left.

This made him sigh once again; the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World is truly abundant in resources; it is a great treasure land.

Hesitating a bit, he exchanged twenty jin of Yin Stone for some spiritual objects used to restore mana.

At the bottom of this Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, it’s extremely difficult just to avoid the invasion of Yin Qi; naturally, he couldn’t sit and slowly recover mana.

As for Jiang Miaoyin, without Chu Xiu, even ignoring the erosion of Death Qi, she could last at most three to five years before exhausting all recovery artifacts, mana depleting, and dying from Yin Qi invasion.

And this is just on the premise that she stays put, doesn’t move, doesn’t fight, and stays in areas with low Yin Qi concentration.

If she went to any Holy Land or Blessed Land, or the Four Great Dangerous Lands that Chu Xiu had been to, she might not hold out for even a few days!

Exploring in such places is greatly consuming for Chu Xiu!

Although earlier, Chu Xiu profited a lot from the Blood Pool, storing many recovery artifacts, leaving him not too worried in the short term, it’s always good to be prepared.

At the bottom of the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, there are not many spiritual objects to restore mana, only some Ghost Beast Meat that follows the ”Body Refining” path and Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruits containing strong life force can be used.

And these things all contain extremely strong Yin Qi, which only Chu Xiu’s constitution can withstand.

”In a few days, Immortals will descend to preach, and then they will also exchange valuable items with us.”

”If the collection here cannot satisfy the fellow Daoist, perhaps you could ask the Immortal in a few days, you will surely get what you need.”

The Immortal Palace Ghost said.

Chu Xiu nodded, put away the materials and Yin Stone, and left the Immortal Palace.

In these few days, Chu Xiu decided to spend all the Cause and Effect Points gained before and maximize his strength, preparing for the upcoming mountain ascent.

He left You City, intending to choose a secluded place for cultivation and retreat.

Passing by the Inheritance Stele, he saw four members of the Celestial Mechanics Guild sitting cross-legged nearby, seemingly cultivating something.

Feeling curious, Chu Xiu walked over, intending to ask them what they saw when looking at the stele.

It appears they obtained a cultivation technique? But it seems different from the ghost reinforcements’ cultivation.

Could it be that this stele can intelligently adjust its influence based on the user?

Curious at heart, Chu Xiu approached the four and was about to ask, but suddenly his expression changed.

The Stone Bead in his arms inexplicably started to heat up when near the stele!

And the stele in front of him emitted a special kind of wave.

Chu Xiu had a vague strange feeling that the Stone Bead in his arms and the Inheritance Immortal Stele before him were like two incompatible items, confronting and wrestling with each other!

This left Chu Xiu unsure of what to do, whether to leave quickly with the Stone Bead or to quietly observe, or to directly let the Stone Bead come into contact with the stele to force them to confront each other.

However, before Chu Xiu could decide, a barely audible ”pop” sounded by Chu Xiu’s ear, and he felt as if some kind of ”barrier” around the stele melted away.

Instinctively, Chu Xiu looked towards the stele. In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts appeared around him! These thoughts were chaotic, like a giant vortex wanting to drag his consciousness into an unknown abyss!

However, Chu Xiu’s Divine Soul is incredibly strong now, and he has various defense measures. Even dead souls cannot harm him, so he certainly wouldn’t be easily affected. He immediately held firm to the Spirit Platform, letting those thoughts pull, while his consciousness remained as stable as Mount Tai, unwavering.

After a few breaths, the pulling force gradually weakened and became completely unthreatening to Chu Xiu.

On the contrary, Chu Xiu’s curiosity grew.

Although unsure of what happened, he vaguely felt that this seemed to be a great opportunity to explore the mysteries of the Inheritance Immortal Stele.

He glanced around; no one else seemed to notice anything wrong with the stele, so he simply sat down cross-legged like other cultivating ghosts and sent a strand of his consciousness to explore the depths of the vortex.

His consciousness accelerated in the vortex, faster and faster, until suddenly, Chu Xiu’s vision blurred, and his consciousness entered another space.

This is a desolate place with voids all around, below, and above him, with only countless glowing points suspended in mid-air, as if surrounded by a night sky full of stars.

Chu Xiu’s consciousness carefully reached out to a glowing point, but before contact, the point seemed to be attracted and automatically floated over, smoothly merging into Chu Xiu’s consciousness.

This startled him, but in the next instant, he widened his eyes in surprise and joy!

An alert appeared in his consciousness.

[Obtained item: Cause and Effect Point*1]

Those countless glowing points suspended in mid-air were actually innumerable Cause and Effect Points!

Chu Xiu took a deep breath and looked around in shock. The points filled this entire space, impossible to quantify. Just from what his consciousness could sense, there were no less than a million!

The Inheritance Immortal Stele actually stored a massive amount of Cause and Effect Points!

”What is this...?”

This discovery naturally brought Chu Xiu great joy, but also deepened his inner doubts.

But he knew that no matter how much he speculated, he couldn’t figure it out, so he decisively stopped pondering and began quickly collecting Cause and Effect Points from the stele.

[Obtained item: Cause and Effect Point*1]

[Obtained item: Cause and Effect Point*1]

...

Chu Xiu’s consciousness expanded rapidly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he obtained over 100,000 Cause and Effect Points!

The speed of acquiring these points would surely leave even the Celestial Kings wide-eyed in amazement!

And the Cause and Effect Points in the Immortal Stele seemed endless, with no end in sight!

This filled Chu Xiu’s heart with wild joy; such an opportunity was unexpected.

But as his consciousness expanded further, greedily sweeping up the surrounding points, suddenly a vague shadow appeared in the void not far away.

In the next instant, a furious and astonished thought exploded in Chu Xiu’s mind!

”Who are you? How could you possibly enter here?!”

The thought roared like thunder, causing Chu Xiu’s consciousness to show signs of collapse! Startled, he thought, although it was just a strand of his consciousness, even an average mental attack would not achieve this, let alone a mere thought?

He immediately retracted all consciousness, rushing towards the exit, but the shadow didn’t seem willing to let him off just like that!

But he saw thousands of blades suddenly emerge from the void around him, forming a sword array, swirling and rotating, like a set of meat grinders, sweeping towards Chu Xiu’s consciousness, wanting to crush it utterly!

This scene made the real Chu Xiu’s face drop; he had already cultivated the first layer of the Yama Scripture, and even on unfamiliar mental planes, he feared no one!

His main consciousness directly crashed into the Immortal Stele, like a frenzy of a fierce beast, crashing into the all-surrounding sword array head-on!
