291 Unlucky
Li Ran received a report from the spirit of the artifact that the space ship had left the space channel, and he and Ling Meng left the Xuanhuang Tower Realm and returned to the cabin.
The terrifying pressure has disappeared, and the large screen in the cabin seems to be broken, and the scenes outside cannot be seen.
He left the cabin and came to the deck, observing the surroundings.
Nearby is an old ruin, which looks a bit old, and further away are low mountains.
"Is this the fairy world?"
He frowned slightly. Why was it different from Shui Yue's description? He did not feel the rich spiritual power. He felt that it was similar to that on Earth, or even worse than the Earth.
The air here seems to be filled with the smell of decay.
Ling Meng also wrinkled his nose and said, "It doesn't feel that anything is amazing. Immortals live in such a place? Hey, there is an old man over there. Is he an immortal?"
Li Ran followed Ling Meng's gaze and saw an old man in gray robe under a broken stone pillar on the edge of the ruins.
"Go and ask him for information."
Li Ran jumped off the deck and flew towards the old man, and Ling Meng followed him.
When he got closer, he realized that the old man was withered, like a mummy corpse. What is the virtue of an immortal?
"Old man, is this the fairy world?"
The old man looked at him steadily without blinking his eyes, and his shriveled chest suddenly rose and fell violently, and a sound of horrible wind came from his mouth.
"You are...living!"
Li Ran was stunned. Why did this sound strange? Are you surprised to see the living person?
Before he could think about it, the old man suddenly raised his arm and inserted his dry hands straight into him.
He was shocked and patted the old man's hand away. When his hand touched the old man's hand, it seemed to be slapped on a cold stone.
The old man staggered, stabilized his body, and rushed towards Li Ran again, making a shrill whistle from his mouth.
"Living person--!"
The sword light flashed, and the old man's dry head flew up like a skeleton, rolled on the ground twice, stuck under the crack of the rock, and his headless body fell down stiffly.
The Xuantian sword shape in Li Ran's hand dissipated silently. When he first entered the fairy world, he did not dare to be careless. After encountering an attack, he immediately sacrificed the Xuantian sword shape.
But the old man is not very strong, it seems that he is using a slaughter to kill a chicken.
"Immortals have this kind of virtue." Ling Meng looked at the old man's fallen body and said disdainfully.
Li Ran shook his head gently.
"He is not an immortal, and it is not necessarily true whether he is an immortal world or not..."
"You said this is not a fairy world? But have we already come out of the ascension passage?"
"I'm not sure yet, wait for me to ask Shuiyue."
Li Ran asked the spirit of the weapon to bring Shui Yue out. Shui Yue felt the spiritual environment around him, and then looked at the old man beheaded by Li Ran with a sword, showing a solemn expression.
"You have to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Is this the fairy world?"
"Of course this is the fairy world, but it is an extremely special area of the fairy world - the Spirit Corpse Realm."
"Spiritual Corpse Realm?"
"Yes, there are no living people in this area, all the corpses of spiritual intelligence! This is an ancient battlefield, with countless corpses buried under the ground. Some of them crawled out from the ground after spiritual intelligence was born, occupying this vast area."
"Isn't that a zombie?" Li Ran was shocked. No wonder the old man was so excited to see the living person, and he had a zombie face.
Shuiyue shook her head gently:
"The zombies you understand are just one of the corpse spirits, and they are relatively low-key ones."
Li Ran looked at the body of the old man who was beheaded by him: "Which guy is this guy?"
Shuiyue glanced at the headless mummy: "From the remaining spiritual power in his body, it is just a miscellaneous soldier who has not even reached the level of the corpse general."
"How powerful is the corpse general level?"
"Don't chat here anymore. He might have spread your news. Before more spiritual corpses arrive, leave here quickly. If you are targeted by a certain corpse king, you will be dead."
“Where should I go?”
"Let's go north. The Taiqing Immortal Realm borders the Lingzi Realm to the north. There are many sects dedicated to suppressing corpse spirits. After you get there, make plans."
Li Ran nodded, followed Shuiyue's advice, and immediately left the ruins and walked north.
On the way, Shuiyue taught him a method to conceal his own energy so that he would not be discovered by other spiritual corpses.
Shortly after the three left the ascension ruins, a team of men and horses in black arrived and found the old man's body and the space ship Li Ran was riding.
The leader is a middle-aged man who looks in his thirties, with a majestic and full muscles.
He glanced at the body of the guardian lying in front of him, narrowed his eyes and looked at the space ship in the center of the ruins.
Over the past period of time, five unknown objects like this have appeared in the ascension ruins that have been silent for thousands of years.
After the five unknown objects were transported away, a powerful man broke them and found blood stains inside them, including humans and other creatures.
The city lord inferred that there must be a creature in the lower realm who attempted to ascend to the upper realm through this object, but died because he could not withstand the pressure of the immortal world and exploded, so he sent someone to guard the ascension ruins.
This time, it seems that the creatures in the lower realm have finally succeeded.
He closed his eyes and sniffed something in the air.
"It really smells like a living person, it smells so fragrant, so fragrant."
The man opened his eyes again and showed a greedy grin.
Be sure to catch him!
...
On the other side, Li Ran and the other two flew for half a day and took a break by a river.
Li Ran learned more about the Spirit Corpse Realm from Shuiyue’s mouth.
Due to physical constitution, spiritual corpses cannot absorb spiritual power from heaven and earth to practice, and can only become stronger by absorbing the spiritual power of other living creatures.
Therefore, the Spirit Corpse Realm often fights with several surrounding immortal realms to plunder live spiritual resources.
Many spiritual corpses also sneaked into other fairylands, pretended to be normal monks, killed people to silence them, and absorbed the spiritual power of other monks.
The appearance of the spirit corpse is basically no different from the living person, and it is difficult to distinguish even if it uses spiritual consciousness, so it is hard to prevent it.
Although there is no immortal emperor-level existence in the spiritual corpse world, there are three top corpse emperors. It is said that their corpse is the immortal emperor who fell in ancient times. Although it is no longer able to survive, the three corpse emperors work together and have the combat power of the immortal emperor-level, so the spiritual corpse world can be preserved to this day.
Li Ran asked in confusion: "Why is the ascension land in such a ghost place? Wouldn't the former ascenator faced the hunting of spiritual corpses as soon as he ascended?"
Shui Yue said: "Of course, there is more than this ascension in the fairy world. This ascension should be connected to the earth. For the practitioners on the earth, once they ascend, they will face hunting by spiritual corpses. Those who can break through the siege are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they will definitely do something."
Li Ran thought to himself that the practitioners on Earth are really unlucky.
However, judging from the abandonment of the ruins, no one has ascended to it for many years.
