Chapter 948 - 855: Denizens of the Demon Realm
"Just right, I can take this opportunity to settle down for a bit!"Duan Gujin thought that since there was still more than a month left, he would cultivate well at the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.
Time passed bit by bit.
Every day, Duan Gujin devoted himself diligently to cultivation, and a month later, he noticed signs of a breakthrough.
He knew that he was only showing signs of a breakthrough, and to truly reach the Third Level of Martial Saint, he needed more cultivation.
However, that night, he received Tang Chaoyang's emergency order.
Upon meeting Tang Chaoyang, he immediately heard that the Wanshi Mountain suddenly saw a surge of dead bodies, attacking a mountain like a tide.
The martial artists dispatched by Tang Chaoyang discovered a massive sealing array exposed after much of the dirt was stripped from the mountain.
Due to the array's robustness, the dead bodies could achieve nothing.
But the spies feared that those corpses might succeed one day, so they requested the Sect Leader to mobilize people into the Wanshi Mountains to eliminate the corpses.
"Young hero, why don't you come with us? I suspect that the answer to what that giant spider truly is might lie within that sealing array!"
Tang Chaoyang said.
"Alright!"
Having anticipated this outcome, Duan Gujin immediately accepted Tang Chaoyang's invitation.
Thus, at Tang Chaoyang's invitation, he set off with them.
To Duan Gujin's surprise, he saw Mo Yan in the group.
He blinked and secretly asked beside Tang Chaoyang via sound transmission.
"Sect Leader, why have you brought the Core Disciples this time?"
Tang Chaoyang replied, "These Core Disciples aren't responsible for the action; they're here to observe. Some experiences must be seen to be believed. Without witnessing firsthand, they wouldn't know how terrifying the Nine-Colored Corpse Worms and giant spider are. If a real situation arises, I'll have them leave immediately!"
Hearing Tang Chaoyang's words, Duan Gujin felt moved, thinking silently, "No wonder in the past life, Mo Yan always felt ashamed whenever he thought of his master. Tang Chaoyang really is a good Sect Leader!"
"Sect Leader, what you're doing is right. Any sect needs people who have weathered storms. Although the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect is the top sect on the Chaotic Ancient Continent, it's just a medium plane among thirty thousand planes. Previously, these planes didn't connect, with no mutual interaction, but now it's different. Experts from the Divine World have opened up these thirty thousand planes, and from now on, experts from other planes will enter the Chaotic Ancient Continent!"
"Yes, yes!"
Tang Chaoyang nodded quickly in agreement.
Duan Gujin extended his divine sense, discovering that the team had more than 300 people.
Upon judging, he realized that Tang Chaoyang not only brought Core Disciples for the adventure in Wanshi Mountains but also many disciples with higher cultivation.
Under Tang Chaoyang's lead, everyone quickly entered the Wanshi Mountain.
Within the mountains, four spies dispatched by Tang Chaoyang awaited them on the road.
Upon seeing Tang Chaoyang, they immediately approached to report and were responsible for leading the way.
Under the guide of these four spies, the team advanced over ten kilometers.
Finally, they saw numerous dead bodies on the mountains ahead.
Witnessing the tide-like numbers of corpses, everyone gasped in shock.
Many female disciples present started to vomit upon inhaling the extremely unpleasant smell in the air.
Tang Chaoyang didn't have Duan Gujin unleash the intimidation ability of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul but asked everyone to carefully bypass the corpses.
Soon, they discovered that the corpses seemed to focus their attention on a building resembling an altar ahead.
Without a spy informing them that the altar was once a mountain, no one would believe it was excavated by the corpses.
Tang Chaoyang tasked the elders with taking care of the disciples while he went forward to scout for information.
After a while, he returned.
Upon returning, he first went to Duan Gujin's side to share the information he gathered, seeking Duan Gujin's advice.
Hearing Tang Chaoyang's report, Duan Gujin realized Tang Chaoyang only temporarily saw the giant spider without noticing other Nine-Colored Corpse Worms nearby. He felt puzzled, wondering why the Nine-Colored Corpse Worms weren't visible, yet the giant spider could control so many corpses.
"Could it be that the giant spider devoured the other Nine-Colored Corpse Worms?"
His eyes flashed, thinking of this possibility.
"Theoretically, by devouring other Nine-Colored Corpse Worms, the giant spider could control the corpses controlled by them. But doing so, it couldn't unleash the full might of the Nine-Colored Corpse Worms!"
Deep in thought, he suddenly came up with another possibility.
"Perhaps the Nine-Colored Corpse Worms weren't the giant spider's originally. Hence, the giant spider swallowed them regardless of the consequences. This could be possible! The original owner of the Nine-Colored Corpse Worms might be patient in cultivating them, but the giant spider might lack such patience!"
