Tome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wan’er also recognized the origin of these entities, and her face turned somewhat pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost Souls are different from ordinary Demonic Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have no physical form, and ordinary physical attacks are hardly effective against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they excel at Spiritual Attacks, capable of eroding a Cultivator’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once entangled by a Lost Soul, the consequences are unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen’s brows furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected to encounter so many Lost Souls here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the numbers, there were probably no less than several hundred Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, from the aura they emitted, each Lost Soul’s strength was no weaker than a Cultivator at the Refining Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More troubling was that these Lost Souls seemed able to manipulate the surrounding mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They loomed in and out of the mist, making it difficult to track them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, steady your minds, don’t let them affect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He channeled the Chaotic Power, forming an invisible barrier around him to fend off the malice emitted by the Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also shielded Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Lost Souls did not give them much time to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp howling sound pierced the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Lost Souls transformed into whirling black tornadoes, rushing toward the three from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bared their claws, emitting ghastly roars as if to tear the trio to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaowan, use your Talismans, attack their Spiritual Bodies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen urgently shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaowan reacted swiftly, immediately retrieving several \"Breaking Evil Talismans\" from her Storage Bag, designed especially to counter sinister beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She infused the Talismans with Spiritual Power, chanting incantations under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft cry, those Breaking Evil Talismans transformed into golden rays of light, striking the oncoming Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sizzle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds reminiscent of hot oil hitting water echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lost Souls struck by the golden light emitted heart-rending screams, their bodies trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black aura around them dissipated at visible speed, and their Spiritual Bodies grew much fainter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breaking Evil Talismans indeed had a restraining effect on the Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the sheer number of Lost Souls was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Su Xiaowan’s Talismans were effective, they couldn’t possibly eradicate them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, more Lost Souls breached the Talismans’ barrier, charging toward the trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wan’er let out a shout, her Green Vine Whip, infused with dense Wood Spirit Power, lashed out at the approaching Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Green Vine Whip contained strong Wood Spirit Power, which had some restraining effect on the Lost Souls,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its effectiveness was far surpassed by Su Xiaowan’s Breaking Evil Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Lost Souls merely paused as they were struck by the whip before lunging forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen’s eyes narrowed, and he thrust the sheath of his Black Dragon Sword forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used no flashy moves;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just a simple thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this thrust carried an indomitable resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic Power gathered at the tip of the sword sheath, forming a small vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A leading Lost Soul was directly pierced through its Spiritual Body by the sword sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even have time to let out a cry before turning into a wisp of blue smoke, dispersing into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen discovered that Chaotic Power seemed to have a stronger restraining effect on these Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the source of all things, Chaotic Power is supremely pure and capable of purifying all sinister beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization reassured Luo Qingchen somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer hesitated, taking the initiative to confront the swarming Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Dragon Sword sheath danced in his hand, each swing taking the life of a Lost Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as the three battled fiercely with the Lost Souls,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the surrounding mist suddenly thickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange energy fluctuation spread from the depths of the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, the vision of Luo Qingchen and the others blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery around them underwent a drastic transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found themselves no longer in that eerie crimson land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they had arrived in an enchanting valley, filled with birdsong and floral scents, its landscapes idyllic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the valley, the sun shone brightly, and streams babbled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, several exquisite pavilions and towers could be seen, faintly discernible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where...is this place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaowan looked around somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wan’er also showed a puzzled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clearly remembered that they were just fiercely battling with the Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did they suddenly come to such a place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen furrowed his brows tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t enchanted by the beautiful scenery before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that although the Spiritual Energy here was dense, it carried an inexplicable strangeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, he vaguely sensed an invisible spiritual power quietly eroding their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is bad, it’s an illusion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen suddenly realized and shouted sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that the Lost Souls could even set up an Illusion Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this Illusion Array was so cleverly set that even he didn’t notice it at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Luo Qingchen’s reminder, Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan were both startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurriedly circulated their Spiritual Power to resist the invisible spiritual erosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was already somewhat late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of confusion flickered in Su Xiaowan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to see her long-lost parents standing in a pavilion not far away, beckoning to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father... Mother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaowan murmured, her footsteps uncontrollably moving towards the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation wasn’t much better for Lin Wan’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before her eyes appeared the tragic scene of Qingyun Sect being breached by Black-clothed Cultivators, with her elders fighting desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong sense of sorrow and anger surged in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, she gripped the Green Vine Whip in her hand, wanting to rush up and fight those Black-clothed Cultivators to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Luo Qingchen was affected by the illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his eyes appeared the mysterious altar deep within the Meteorite Pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Map fragment emitted a faint glow, as if calling to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong desire surged from deep within his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to obtain that Star Map fragment and uncover all the secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minds of the three were unknowingly being seduced by the illusion, sinking into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes became dazed, and their expressions somewhat dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t find a way to break free from the illusion’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might forever lose themselves here, eventually having their vitality devoured by the Lost Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan’er’s Bai Ling’er, held in her arms, once again played a crucial role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to sense the danger to the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaf mark of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass on her brow suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An even stronger and purer Dragon Power swept out from her small body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Dragon Power, like dawn breaking, instantly dispelled the mist shrouding the three people’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen only felt a roar in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion before his eyes shattered like a mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly sobered up, his eyes regaining clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen felt a wave of lingering fear in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Bai Linger’s timely warning, he might have truly succumbed to the illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly looked at Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see the two girls still in a state of confusion, their eyes dazed, seemingly still struggling within the illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen didn’t dare to be negligent and immediately circulated Chaotic Power, sending a strand into each of the girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaotic Power entered the two girls’ bodies, quickly dispelling the negative energy within their Seas of Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies of Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan trembled slightly, and their eyes gradually regained clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... happened to us just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiaowan asked somewhat bewildered, a trace of terror still on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wan’er also panted with lingering fear, recalling the illusion she just experienced, still feeling a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We fell for an Illusion Array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice, his face looking somewhat grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These Lost Souls are craftier than we imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect the inside of the Heavenly Desperate Cliff to be so perilous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only chaotic Spiritual Energy, mutated Demonic Beasts, but even Lost Souls capable of setting up Illusion Arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step was fraught with danger, a slight misstep, and it could mean complete ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ling’er, seeing the three recover to normal, clapped her little hands happily.\u003C\u002Fp>",1424,"2026-06-03T12:45:03.820Z","2026-06-03T12:45:09.476Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e1376321f71723e84944985e1b206f6782deecb164b47157d4a0d9783050cf8","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1985","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1983",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
