"So that"s how it is!" Lu Chen nodded his head thoughtfully.He could practically foresee what would happen to Duanmu Pengcheng next.
Duanmu Fu let out another heavy sigh. "We were all worried that something bad would happen to the Patriarch, so we stayed close to him.""We"ve been to a lot of places with dense corpse aura, and countless graves …"
There was no need for Duanmu to continue, as Lu Chen now had a clearer understanding of the whole situation.Lu Chen nodded inwardly. Indeed, it wasn"t too different from what he had guessed previously.
In that case, the source of the corpse aura might have an answer.
"Looks like the Duanmu family"s Black Curse Technique does have quite a bit of a knack for it." However, with the strength of your Patriarch, I am afraid it would be very difficult for ordinary corpse Qi to harm him, right? "
This wasn"t the question Lu Chen was thinking, he just wanted to get a more accurate answer from Duanmu Fu.Duanmu w.a.n.g nodded and continued:
"The Black Curse Technique isn"t really a secret in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Normally, it would be difficult to harm the Patriarch."
"Moreover, the Patriarch has been in the Quasi-Earth Stage for almost fifty years, so these corpses that couldn"t harm him won"t be able to satisfy him either."
"In the beginning, the Patriarch received a lot of benefits from the corpse qi and his cultivation was constantly consolidated."
"However, due to his impatience, he has been searching for an even more powerful location. That"s why he chose to come up with this matter …"
As Duanmu Fu finished speaking, tears were already falling from his eyes, and his entire body was trembling slightly.Lu Chen nodded seriously, not bothering her at all.
However, from Duanmu Fu"s words, it could be seen that Duanmu Peng Cheng truly had great courage.In addition, in order to find a new path, he could be considered to be going all out.
He took the risk of absorbing the corpse aura. Although there was an unexpected danger, there were very few people in the Celestial Sect of Wonders who could do this.
The pursuit of power was a path that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had always stuck to.
Even though he knew the path ahead was th.o.r.n.y, he still continued forward without a pause.
In addition, due to the influence of the Age of Chaos, spiritual energy was becoming more and more depleted, making it even more difficult to advance further. Some people became even more persistent in their search for a way to break through.Before Lu Chen could say anything, Duanmu Yunfeng continued on the side.
"At that time, many of the cemetery leaders looked down on them. Of course, this is because the corpse aura they gave off was not attractive enough.""But no matter what decision the Patriarch makes, we naturally will not go against him."
"When we came to a place with an extremely dense corpse aura, we followed the patriarch to the tomb."
"Who knew that the moment we entered that place, our cultivation would be suppressed to different degrees."
"On average, the cultivation bases of six or seven of us have been suppressed by a small realm …"
Duanmu Yunfeng described everything that had happened in the tomb in great detail.
Against Duanmu Pengcheng"s corpse aura, if Lu Chen had enough karmic power right now, forcefully expelling it wouldn"t be a problem.However, it was also a huge drain on his stamina.
Since things had yet to reach this stage, Lu Chen was naturally unwilling to pay such a heavy price.
According to Duanmu Yunfeng"s explanation, a formation had undoubtedly been set up in the tomb.
However, the fact that even quasi-Earth Stage experts like the Duanmu family could be suppressed showed that this formation could not be underestimated.
Through Duanmu Yunfeng"s description, the little fox seemed to have a certain understanding of this formation.This was also due to the fact that Duanmu Yunfeng had mentioned that formations that could suppress one"s strength were relatively rare in order to achieve such an effect.
From what the little fox said, the formation laid down in this tomb was most likely a low-grade earth-step formation — the Yin Yang Universe Formation.
All living things were formed from yin and yang. Yin and yang intertwined with each other, and the universe shifted.Once a person was caught in the Yin Yang Universe Formation, they would be fused with it.
When one"s own strength was infused within, it would become a part of the formation.
The Yin Yang Universe Formation continued to absorb energy from it, causing one"s zhenqi to be consumed at an extremely fast rate.
This also meant that the disguised form was an illusion used to suppress power.
If one stayed in the Yin Yang Universe Formation for too long, they would eventually be exhausted. Even their flesh and blood would be sucked out.However, the energy that was sucked out was concentrated into the core of the YinYang Universe Formation.
Simply speaking, the YinYang Universe Formation was like a trap.
Anyone who entered would be turned into food.According to the little fox, the transformed energy was most likely a.s.similated into the tomb.
As such, there might be some powerful existence within the tomb that had set up this formation.
However, the Yin Yang Universe Formation was a low-grade earth-step array.
In the present Age of Chaos, who would have the ability to set up such a formation?
After Duanmu Yunfeng finished his general explanation, Lu Chen saw that Duanmu Fu had just wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes.
"At that time... Everyone knows that the tomb is extremely strange and everyone present is urging the patriarch to leave. "
"The patriarch will not listen, and he is still determined to do as he pleases. Although we tried our best to dissuade them, in the end, we were unable to achieve much effect! "
Regret appeared on Duanmu w.a.n.g"s face, and his expression became more and more unsightly.
He couldn"t help but say, "Because the Patriarch is anxious about breaking through the limit, wealth comes with danger. However, we can only blame ourselves for not being able to stop him.""As we were getting closer to the tombstone, a strong wind accompanied by corpse aura suddenly blew towards us.
"The origin of this corpse gas is unknown, we will immediately use defensive Tao technique to block it.""However, the clan head is doing the opposite at this moment …"
At this point, Duanmu Fu"s pupils began to contract and he had an expression of lingering fear. Even her voice began to tremble slightly.
"Because every time this corpse aura attacks, we block it outside of our body. The head of the family is constantly using the black curse to absorb it into his body."
As Duanmu Fu spoke, Lu Chen felt Duanmu Pengcheng"s body slightly move.
At this moment, Lu Chen"s gaze landed on Duanmu Pengcheng"s face.Others might not have noticed, but Lu Chen could see everything clearly.
He discovered that the corners of Duanmu Pengcheng"s lips were curled up in an undetectable smile.
It looked more like an evil smile.
A smile flashed across his face, seemingly without leaving a trace.
When he noticed the wisps of black fog that were still hovering around Duanmu Pengcheng"s Hall of Inscriptions, Lu Chen suddenly had an epiphany.
"Lord, the resentment in this corpse aura has actually developed a bit of intelligence!"
The little fox also detected this fleeting movement at the first moment and immediately landed on Lu Chen"s shoulder, saying with a serious expression."Will resentment have intelligence?"
