Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093: Gathering Montum (Part 1)
The small town enveloped by the night was dotted with faint ghostly fires.
Standing atop a mound three miles away, Wang Chen’s gaze swept across the town almost subrged by wild grass and vines, his eyes sparkling with divine light.
His current location was ten thousand miles away from Luodu, the Immortal City.
In the past three months, Wang Chen had traveled westward along Fulong Mountain, searching for forbidden areas where supernatural and evil wraiths road.
Besides honing his cultivation and swordsmanship, the main purpose of this training was to gather spiritual power for the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, to et the needs of future battles or even the stage of Breaking the Golden Core to Condense the Nascent Soul.
The Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net was not only the nesis of evil wraiths but could also transform evil power into the purest spiritual power for storage. Wang Chen could draw upon this reserve to replenish his spent mana, significantly enhancing his stamina in battle.
In many past battles, it was this ability of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net that helped him defeat formidable foes.
Last ti, to refine the Qijue Sword, Wang Chen had completely exhausted the spiritual power within the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net and had since found no ti to replenish it, leaving him feeling sowhat unsettled.
Therefore, this ti he intended to “feed” this treasured artifact until it was full!
Moreover, before leaving Luodu, Wang Chen specially gathered a large amount of intelligence related to supernatural and evil wraiths.
As an Earth-Level Immortal City, Luodu wasn’t just ho to great Power n, but its City Protecting Great Array was also extrely strong—no evil wraiths or monsters could infiltrate, so there were no issues with the supernatural.
However, within the areas under the jurisdiction of Luodu, the Immortal City, there were countless villages, mountain towns, and fortified settlents, often threatened by evil wraiths or the Monster Race.
Evil wraiths were inexhaustible enemies to eradicate, and the power of the Monster Race was not weaker than that of the human race. Luodu, the Immortal City, was not the capital of a nation, so unless the situation was particularly severe, it typically did not interfere with local matters.
In places far from Luodu, the Immortal City, it was quite normal for forbidden lands haunted by the supernatural and evil wraiths to appear.
And such forbidden lands have also beco places of training for many cultivators.
It’s just that so cultivators who entered there were never seen again.
There were many records regarding these forbidden lands, and it was very difficult to discern the true from the false. In order to obtain relatively accurate intelligence, Wang Chen spent a considerable amount of spirit stones.
The area ahead was called Four Directions Town, which boasted a good location nestled between mountains and near water. It was said that at its peak, the town had tens of thousands of residents, and rchants from north and south traveled through it in an endless stream.
However, a sudden disaster destroyed everything, turning this once prosperous town into a desolate ruin frequented by supernatural and evil wraiths, making it highly peculiar.
There had been cultivators who explored Four Directions Town, only to co out empty-handed.
But there were also those who disappeared inside.
Their fates unknown.
In short, places like this were generally avoided by cultivators who didn’t want to burden themselves with trouble.
But Wang Chen was different.
He did not fear evil wraiths; what he feared was the lack of evil wraiths, making his journey in vain!
On his way here, Wang Chen had explored many places, with many ultimately turning out to be fruitless.
Looking up at the firmant, the night was pitch-black with high winds, and the stars were dim, precisely when evil wraiths favored to co out. He imdiately perford a spell, beginning to draw in his own aura.
Wang Chen’s cultivation realm or rather, the outward expression of his pill force, instantly plumted from the seventh tier of the Golden Core Stage.
It barely reached the first tier of the Golden Core stage before stopping.
Furthermore, under Wang Chen’s deliberate control, his aura appeared very unstable, almost perfectly imitating the state of a True Person who had just solidified their pill.
This would make an excellent lure!
To know that many evil spirits are extrely cunning, and they have an instinct to pursue benefits and avoid harm. Once they detect a threat, they will evade or flee, never foolishly casting themselves into the net.
Wang Chen suppressed his aura to the first tier of Golden Core, not too high nor too low; his life force and Divine Soul aura remained extrely vibrant, having already lured nurous evil spirits that couldn’t resist the temptation.
This mont was entirely a repeat of the old trick!
After making preparations, Wang Chen’s figure flickered, instantly covering a distance of several dozen feet.
In a few leaps and bounds, he approached Four Directions Town.
Faced with the pitch-black ruins that seed ghostly and desolate, Wang Chen didn’t hesitate the least bit as he traversed the waist-high wild grass and marched straight into the center of the town.
A deserted theatrical stage ca into his view.
Such stages are common in the villages and towns of the Cangqing Domain, with specialized troupes performing regularly, providing a bit of entertainnt enjoynt for the cultivators at the bottom of the Immortal Cultivation world.
Moreover, in case of major events, the stage and the area in front of it serve as the gathering place for etings!
The theatrical stage of Four Directions Town was built quite tall, with intricately carved beams and painted rafters, its layout was not ordinary, and even after being abandoned for many years, it still retained so of its forr grandeur.
Wang Chen landed lightly on the stage, without stirring up a speck of dust beneath his feet.
He looked around, his eyes flashing with discernnt.
After a mont, Wang Chen flicked his finger and shot out a pill.
The pill, large as a dragon’s eye, flew out dozens of steps and then detonated silently.
An odd fragrance imdiately spread out in all directions.
This pill was called the Evil-attracting Pill, which, as the na suggests, was used to attract evil spirits. The purpose was self-evident, and due to the special materials required in its creation, it was quite pricey.
But the effects of the Evil-attracting Pill were very good. In re monts, ethereal shadows began to erge from the ruins surrounding the stage.
Four Directions Town was indeed harboring a large number of evil spirits.
However, these evil spirits seed to be wary of Wang Chen’s strength; they lingered and road around, yet didn’t dare to approach within half a step of the theatrical stage.
Spectral whispers ca from all directions, fine and fragnted as if devilish music was pouring into the brain.
Wang Chen patiently waited for the ti of half an incense stick, feeling that the mont was about right, he abruptly rose to his feet.
The next mont, he appeared above the stage and reached down with a pressing motion; the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net that was solidified on his arm instantly unfolded.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon-Slaying Net covered a radius of a thousand steps, ensnaring all the lured evil spirits within this vast net.
The might of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net increased with Wang Chen’s strength. His current cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Core realm, and with his core as First Grade of Golden Cores and the robust Pill Force far surpassing his peers, he truly unveiled so of the “Heaven-Ensnaring” essence.
All the evil spirits caught in the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, irrespective of their size or tier, turned into fishes trapped in the net, struggling vainly to escape to no avail.
Under Wang Chen’s control, the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net gradually tightened, each strand shimring with a faint golden light, rcilessly devouring the evil power of the evil spirits.
In a re mont, the weaker evil spirits were reduced to ash and smoke.
When the great net contracted into a sphere, the last few formidable evil spirits managed only to emit a sharp scream before being extinguished without a trace.
Their energy turned into the purest Spiritual Power, stored within the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.
Wang Chen recalled this precious net, feeling very satisfied.
Up to this point, the Spiritual Power storage of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net had nearly reached sixty percent. Even if he were to return ho now, it would support the net’s use for a very long ti!
