Ning Beichen asked Zhou Yu, who told him that the spiritual energy produced by these ancient cave heavens and blessed lands was incomparable to the Mortal Realm, except for some special places.
This made Ning Beichen even more curious about the cave heavens and blessed lands.
The spiritual energy produced by a dimensional space between three and four dimensions was actually better than the Mortal Realm. This truly surprised Ning Beichen.
Logically speaking,
Shouldn't the dimension where the Mortal Realm is located be higher than those cave heavens and blessed lands?
Why was the spiritual energy not as good as those cave heavens and blessed lands?
However, Zhou Yu himself could not answer this question, and they did not use the term dimension. It was their long-held belief that cave heavens and blessed lands were sacred places for cultivation, and there was no need to question it.
And Ning Beichen soon discovered.
In fact, the Mortal Realm cultivators' ability to break through the formations in the cave heavens and blessed lands was not as good as his own. Their techniques were not much better than those of the people here.
Zhou Yu's companion had been trying to break through the formation on the wall for a long time without making any progress, which made Ning Beichen impatient and want to step in and break it himself.
However, Ning Beichen thought about it and decided not to act. The main reason was that he wanted to understand more about the abilities of the Mortal Realm cultivators.
Since they sent these people to search for the bronze fragments in the cave heavens and blessed lands, they must have more than just these abilities.
As expected, Zhou Yu's companion took out a strange treasure. After some manipulation, he forcefully broke through the protective formation of this cave heaven and blessed land.
Since Ning Beichen came with Zhou Yu, he and Zhou Yu entered the cave heaven and blessed land effortlessly.
"This is the place of the Lotus Cave Master among the thirty-six cave heavens. I hope we can gain something."
After entering,
Zhou Yu whispered to Ning Beichen, faithfully acting as Ning Beichen's mole.
He was also afraid of death. Since he was no match for Ning Beichen, he should not think of opposing him.
Zhou Yu knew very well that Ning Beichen had tampered with him. If he harbored any malice towards Ning Beichen, his cultivation would be sealed again, and he would be mercilessly beaten and tormented by Ning Beichen.
Therefore, he had already developed an insurmountable fear of Ning Beichen, this native.
In other words, after being tormented by Ning Beichen, he had unknowingly developed a subservient mentality towards Ning Beichen.
Giants indeed looked down on the ants beneath their feet.
But what if this ant was bigger than the giant?
Then, of course, the ant would no longer be an ant, but a giant larger than oneself.
The prominent families sent dozens of people with various modern weapons to search for the bronze fragments inside.
But after a short while, a strange thing happened.
The people who went in suddenly went mad and attacked their own people, causing more than twenty of the dozens of people to die instantly.
"It's ill fortune. They have been invaded by ill fortune."
Ning Beichen frowned. He was no stranger to ill fortune.
Regarding the formation of ill fortune, Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin had discussed it many times, but they were both puzzled by this kind of thing.
They did not understand what kind of existence this ill fortune was.
If there were ghosts in this world, then this ill fortune would fit the description of ghosts.
"Zhou Yu, what's going on? They seem to be controlled by something."
Ning Beichen deliberately pretended not to know what was happening and asked.
"Don't get close to them. This is remnants. This is the condensed death qi of the disciples who died in the Lotus Cave Heaven back then. Once contaminated, there is no cure."
Zhou Yu said in a panic. Clearly, this thing was also a threat to them, the Mortal Realm cultivators.
Ning Beichen had already experienced it. He called these things ill fortune. It was indeed very powerful. Linglong was invaded back then, and Ning Beichen had to do everything he could to save her in the end. It was not wrong to say there was no cure.
"Is there any way to deal with... these remnants?"
Ning Beichen felt that calling them remnants was not as fitting as calling them ill fortune.
"Remnants are things that can only survive in cave heavens and blessed lands. Some people also call them ancient vengeful spirits, which are difficult to deal with. The best way is to not let them get close."
Zhou Yu said ambiguously to Ning Beichen.
It was likely that he knew but didn't want to say. Perhaps in his heart, Ning Beichen would be better off being invaded by the remnants, so that he could truly regain his freedom.
How could Ning Beichen not know his intentions? He simply didn't take his intentions seriously. When it came to dealing with ill fortune, Ning Beichen had plenty of experience.
However, although Zhou Yu had bad intentions, he had not personally taken action, so Ning Beichen could not punish him.
Moreover, his companion was also here. If he were to act, Ning Beichen would have to kill his companion, or control him like Zhou Yu.
This was not something he couldn't do. It was no pressure for Ning Beichen. He just wanted to wait until this matter was over.
According to Ning Beichen's plan, if possible, he intended to control all six Mortal Realm cultivators. This was his ultimate goal.
At this time, the people sent by the prominent families had fallen into chaos. They had no idea what was happening, nor did they understand why their close companions would attack them with deadly force.
Soon, there were only a few people left from the prominent families. Most of them were invaded by ill fortune and became empty shells for the ill fortune.
Originally, ill fortune could not leave the cave heavens and blessed lands and could only survive there.
But with a body, they could leave the cave heavens and blessed lands. This was the most terrifying aspect of ill fortune.
"If you and your companion don't make a move soon, the people from the prominent families will be wiped out."
Ning Beichen said to Zhou Yu.
"They are just a few ants. If they die, they die. There are plenty outside..."
Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, he saw Ning Beichen's displeased gaze and quickly shut up, not daring to say anything more.
Fortunately, they did not want all the people from the prominent families to die. Zhou Yu's companion had already made a move, and under Ning Beichen's pressure, Zhou Yu also had to act.
Although ill fortune was terrifying, in front of the Mortal Realm cultivators, these ill fortunes, or remnants, also known as ancient vengeful spirits, were no match. They were quickly eliminated by the two Mortal Realm cultivators, including those people from the prominent families who had been invaded by ill fortune.
Even the Mortal Realm cultivators had no good way to deal with being invaded by ill fortune. The best way was to kill them, which also eliminated the ill fortune.
Among the people present, except for Ning Beichen, everyone else was an ant in the eyes of the Mortal Realm cultivators.
It was the same sentence.
Giants never cared about the ants walking beneath their feet.
However, in the end, five people sent by the prominent families were not invaded by ill fortune and managed to survive. But they were also thoroughly frightened, and no longer dared to search around fearlessly as before. Instead, they became timid and fearful of death.
