Chapter 315: Seeking the Spiritual Power Again
“This seems to be a battle formation.”
Mei Xiangu came forward and looked at the pattern on the yellow cloth.
The female corpse was speechless for a moment, and looked carefully at the pattern on the yellow cloth. After a long while, she laughed and said:
"This is indeed a formation diagram. With this formation diagram, we won't be afraid of the formation in the bamboo forest anymore."
After saying this, she turned her head and pointed at Tian Lin and said, "You, take the formation diagram and try walking through the bamboo forest to see if it is true or not."
Tian Lin frowned and said to the female corpse:
"Even if this yellow cloth is a real formation blueprint, it doesn't mean that I can pass through it unhindered. You have to know that there are tree monsters in the formation, and with my strength, I will probably be torn into pieces once I enter the range of the tree monsters."
"If you don't come in, I'll tear you into pieces first."
After the female corpse finished speaking, she asked Tian Lin, "Are you going or not?"
Tian Lin looked at the female corpse, and saw murderous intent in her eyes.
He and Mei Xiangu shook their heads slightly, signaling Mei Xiangu to stay calm. After all, the female corpse was already extremely powerful in the late stage of foundation building.
Now that the female corpse has reached the early stage of Golden Elixir cultivation, even if Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu work together, they are definitely no match for the lady.
After taking the yellow cloth from the female corpse, Tian Lin memorized Huang Bushang's formation diagram and strode towards the direction of the bamboo forest.
The female corpse followed closely behind, pulling Mei Xiangu, watching Tian Lin and asking him to walk into the bamboo forest.
Tian Lin thought about it, lit the magic candle, and then walked into the bamboo forest.
Countless ghost babies in the bamboo forest rushed towards Tian Lin one after another, but with the protection of the magic candle, Tian Lin was not in any danger for the time being.
What’s scary is that in addition to the ghost baby, the roots of the tree monster turned into countless tentacles, poking towards Tian Lin from all directions.
The magic candle was extremely effective, enough to keep Tian Lin safe and sound.
But under so many attacks, the magic candle was consumed at an incredibly fast rate. Tian Lin only took four or five steps when one third of the magic candle had been burned out.
"Sister, this formation diagram is real. Look, I have already walked into the center of the formation, and I haven't been attacked yet."
"Keep going. You can't stop until I tell you to!"
After hearing this, Tian Lin simply quickened his pace and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
At this time, there were not many ghost babies, but the number of tree roots attacking Tian Lin was increasing, and the magic candle in Tian Lin's hand was melting very quickly.
"Senior Sister, there is a tree demon ahead!"
Tian Lin shouted, and heard the female corpse ask him: "Have you seen my senior brother?"
In fact, Tian Lin was surrounded by the roots of the tentacles, so how could he see the tree demon? He said he saw the tree demon, but he was just deceiving the female corpse.
When the female corpse asked a question, Tian Lin immediately replied, "I didn't see Senior Brother Xiao, but I saw Senior Brother Xiao's red coffin."
The female corpse heard this with joy in her tone: "My senior brother is indeed hiding in the Taoist artifact. As long as the red coffin is not broken, my senior brother will never die. Well, you can come back!"
Tian Lin breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the outside of the bamboo forest at an extremely fast speed.
The magic candle in his hand was only half the length of a finger joint, and Tian Lin could already feel the temperature of the magic candle.
Tian Lin’s speed was extremely fast, but it was far slower than the speed at which the magic candle melted.
When he was about three meters away from the outer edge of the bamboo forest, he suddenly flew up and was about to jump out of the bamboo forest in an instant.
At this time, the divine candle was completely consumed.
But just as Tian Lin was about to land steadily, countless tree roots emerged from the ground like tentacles.
It turned out that after several days of fighting, the Goddess Tree was finally defeated by the tree demon and its territory was reduced.
As the Goddess Tree shrank its territory, the tree demon expanded rapidly. Tian Lin, who was about to enter the Goddess Tree's territory, was surrounded by tree roots again in an instant.
His face changed drastically. He used the Vajra Subduing Demon Skill to protect his body, and used the Soil Sealing Skill to deal with the tree roots that emerged from the ground.
Tian Lin’s Sealing Earth Technique is indeed powerful, but it is still no match for the tree demon.
The tree demon rushed out of pieces of earth and pierced into Tian Lin's body like a spear.
Several tree roots grabbed Tian Lin and with a whoosh pulled him deeper into the bamboo forest.
Fortunately, Mei Xiangu acted very quickly, but the petals knocked down countless tree roots. At the same time, the female corpse over there also made a move.
She wrapped a white silk ribbon around Tian Lin's waist and pulled Tian Lin's upper body out of the control of the tree demon.
Just like that, Tian Lin's body split into two halves.
The upper body along with the intestines was thrown into the village threshing ground by the female corpse, while the lower body was torn into pieces by the roots of the tree demon.
"How about it?"
At the threshing ground, Mei Xiangu used her true energy to seal several major acupoints of Tian Lin, forcing Tian Lin to stop bleeding.
Tian Lin shook his head, grabbed some food from the storage bag and stuffed it into his intestines, then used the Earth Rejuvenation Book to start healing his wounds.
Although the perfect level of Earth Rejuvenation Book is not entirely used for healing, its self-healing effect is by no means simple.
In addition, Tian Lin himself had a good physique, so the true qi finally transformed into meridians in Tian Lin's lower body, and the meridians grew flesh and blood again.
Half an hour later, Tian Lin managed to grow back his lower limbs.
"Don't you, the Xiangxi Sect, take us too lightly?"
Seeing that Tian Lin was finally safe, Mei Xiangu couldn't help but point at the female corpse and ask.
The female corpse smiled disdainfully and said, "Since you have entered the secret realm, you should be prepared to die at any time."
"you--"
Mei Xiangu wanted to speak, but Tian Lin held her hand and said, "She forced her way into the Golden Core Realm, so her mental state is a little abnormal. The most urgent thing is not to argue with her."
The female corpse did not comment on Tian Lin's evaluation, but only asked Tian Lin: "How are you now? Can you still fight? I'm planning to start asking the gods for help."
"Although I have new lower limbs, I can only use them to walk. From now on, I am afraid that Tian will not be able to help you, Senior Sister."
The female corpse snorted coldly and said to Mei Xiangu nonchalantly: "You protect your junior brother. I will ask the gods to help me. When the battle starts, don't blame me for not protecting you."
With a wave of her hand, an altar appeared. She placed the statue of the Xiangxi sect's ancestor on the altar, then took incense sticks and began to pray.
Tian Lin had seen the short elder summon spirits, so he was not curious about the behavior of the female corpse.
But the female corpse took more steps than the short elder to summon the spirit. She took out a pill from the storage bag and put it into her mouth.
As soon as the pill entered her mouth, her figure seemed to grow an inch taller, and her aura became much stronger than before.
Tian Lin knew that this was because the female corpse had taken elixirs and used the power of the medicine to reach the late Golden Elixir stage of cultivation.
This kind of elixir that uses medicinal power to instantly increase combat power has great negative effects, but the female corpse obviously can't care about it now.
"The 722nd generation grandson of the Shi family, please possess me, ancestor!"
Unlike the short elder who used the name of "Xiangxi Sect disciple" to ask the spirit to possess him, this female corpse used the name of descendants to ask the spirit to possess her.
Tian Lin suddenly realized that this female corpse was actually the direct descendant of the Xiangxi Sect's ancestor. No wonder she was able to summon spirits.
