Chapter 93: Spirit Gathering Array

Gu Yu blinked his small eyes a few times, looked at the two cultivators under the black-robed man's tendons, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"Consider yourselves unlucky to have run into the Senior Martial Brother! Leave these two to me; perhaps I can turn them into two Blood Corpses, which will be of some help for the Senior Martial Brother's Dharma protection!"

The person Gu Yu called Senior Martial Brother gave a cold, mocking laugh, threw the two people under his tendons to the ground, and then scanned the eight people in front of Gu Yu, saying:

"How are your preparations coming along?"

"Reporting to Senior Martial Brother, everything is complete!"

One of the eight people answered with great certainty.

"Good! I have waited for this day for a long time. The cultivators of the other three sects wouldn't even guess in their wildest dreams that I would advance to the Golden Core Stage in the Trial Ground!"

A somewhat smug voice came from beneath the black robe.

"Indeed! Senior Martial Brother is now at the Great Perfection Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. In the outside world, you would advance to the Golden Core Stage within a year or two. Although the Spiritual Qi in the Trial Ground is thin, with the 'Spirit Gathering Array' given by Master and many high-grade Pills, you will succeed in forming your Golden Core within two years as well. When that time comes, the disciples of the other three major sects can just wait for death!"

Gu Yu also looked slightly smug, and there was some excitement in his voice!

"Junior Martial Brother Gu! Master's plan is truly brilliant. Once I enter the Golden Core Stage in the Trial Ground, I will have the highest cultivation level here. Killing Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators will be as easy as turning over one's hand. As long as we kill all the elite disciples of the three sects, the Tianjiang Plain will belong to our Corpse Refining Sect from now on!"

"Senior Martial Brother is right! Once you succeed in forming the Golden Core, you will be the second Golden Core Stage cultivator in our sect after Master!"

Gu Yu smiled faintly, and the look he cast toward the Senior Martial Brother held a bit more envy.

"Rest assured, Junior Martial Brother Gu, I, Tie Lin, will not forget everything you have done for me. As long as you can protect me until I successfully form my Golden Core, there will certainly be no shortage of benefits for you in the future!"

As if intentionally trying to buy Gu Yu off, this Senior Martial Brother Tie Lin said very generously.

"What are you saying, Senior Martial Brother? My coming to protect the Dharma was Master's intention to begin with!"

Gu Yu chuckled, then grabbed the two dying cultivators on the ground and walked straight out of the cave!

Seeing that Gu Yu had left, Tie Lin immediately said to the remaining eight black-robed men:

"Begin!"

"Yes!"

After the eight people replied in unison, each of them moved, forming a circle about a zhang wide inside the cave. At the same time, each of them took an Array Disk and many array flags from their robes.

Seeing this, Tie Lin leaped into the center of the circle, sat down with his five hearts facing the sky, took a small bottle from his Storage Bag, poured out two red Pills, and swallowed them without a second thought.

After doing all this, he closed his eyes slightly, formed a strange Dharma seal with his hands, and the Spiritual Qi on his body slowly dissipated outward. Once they saw the Senior Martial Brother take action, the eight surrounding black-robed cultivators also quickly pointed at the Array Disks in their hands. Immediately, countless array flags shot out from the Array Disks, and amidst various swirling lights, they shrouded the space of several zhang around them.

Gradually, a five-colored light screen appeared out of thin air. Following the appearance of the light screen, bitter and incomprehensible incantations sounded from the mouths of the eight black-robed cultivators.

After about half an hour, the Spiritual Qi within a radius of several dozen miles, with Tie Lin as the center, quickly gathered toward him. For a time, the entire cave was filled with abundant Spiritual Qi, even several times denser than the outside world.

Tie Lin, inside the five-colored light screen, suddenly took a deep breath, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and as his hands waved, he immediately switched to another Dharma seal!

Gu Yu stood on the top of a small hill not far from the cave, sensing the changes in the surrounding Spiritual Qi. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled grimly, and muttered to himself:

"It seems the 'Spirit Gathering Array' is complete! That guy Tie Lin must have started to charge toward the Golden Core Stage!"

After speaking, he patted his Storage Bag with one hand, and the Black Coffin flashed out. After it landed with a boom, the lid of the coffin opened, and the Blood Corpse walked out from within.

Glancing at the Blood Corpse, Gu Yu calmly put away the Black Coffin. With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, the Blood Corpse silently sank into the hilltop and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. After doing all this, his figure flashed, and he also hid in the depths of the dense forest.

…………

Within the vast Trial Ground, a shrill beast roar would occasionally be heard, but the sound would vanish in an instant, as if someone had suddenly grabbed its throat.

At this time, the twelve-person squad from the Nanxuan Sect, where Zhang Nuo was, was still flying rapidly in one direction. After about four days, they landed in front of a large mountain. After four consecutive days of flying, many cultivators felt extremely exhausted. The Trial Ground itself had thin Spiritual Qi, and coupled with the long-duration flight, some disciples with weaker cultivation were already at their limit!

Scanning the group, Zhuge Qing felt a little worried in her heart. If things continued like this, even if they found the two-headed snake, they probably wouldn't have the strength to fight.

Immediately, the young girl took a small white Jade Token bottle from her Storage Bag. After opening the stopper, a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.

She poured out twelve Pills and distributed them to everyone.

"These are Pills that can quickly restore Spirit Power. Everyone, take one and sit in meditation to regulate your breathing!"

Hearing the young girl's words, everyone took the Pills, swallowed them in one gulp, and began to meditate. When Zhuge Qing handed a Pill to Zhang Nuo, she was surprised to find that the other party showed no signs of fatigue at all; his energy was as full as if he hadn't been flying for four days.

A look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. Even Zhuge Qing, with her Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivation, felt a bit tired now, but the young man before her had no reaction at all.

It wasn't just Zhuge Qing who noticed this; Yu Lei also secretly glanced at Zhang Nuo, feeling equally astonished in his heart! Zhang Nuo didn't notice their expressions at all; he simply took the Pill, swallowed it, and sat on the spot to regulate his breathing.

Zhuge Qing also swallowed a Pill and sat quietly on the ground. Her mind was still thinking about Zhang Nuo when suddenly, a thought that made her feel almost insane surfaced in her heart.

Throughout the flight, she hadn't seen Zhang Nuo take any Pills, and his flight speed was no slower than anyone else's! Yet, looking at his appearance, his consumption of Spirit Power wasn't great; he was even stronger than Yu Lei, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.

"Could he be a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator?"

She whispered to herself in her heart. Aside from this explanation, Zhuge Qing couldn't find a second, more reasonable one! If Zhang Nuo really was a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator, she had truly struck gold!
