My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

Chapter 392: Chapter 292: Battle with the Greatest Expert of All Time Chapter 392: Chapter 292: Battle with the Greatest Expert of All Time On a small mountain in Beihuang Dao,
the clouds and mists entwined around a few ancient wooden homes, creating a scene that was fresh, natural, and as picturesque as a poem.

Honghu circled above the mountain peak, lying motionless atop it like a piece of wood, while the Black Flood Dragon was lively, sometimes flying into the distance and sometimes running over to Honghu, curiously watching the large bird with eyes as big as lanterns.

Although both were puppets refined through the Living Puppet Technique, Black Flood Dragon and Honghu were different as heaven and earth. Back in Dragon Hidden Creek, Black Flood Dragon had developed its own consciousness, while Honghu remained just a puppet, requiring someone to control it.

It seemed that Black Flood Dragon was having a lot of fun; with a leap and a low roar, it darted off into the distance.

In the middle of the mountain, amidst a dense forest,
An Jing was sitting cross-legged, holding the Mudust Bead he had received from Zongzheng Huachun. At that moment, there was still a strand of pale golden light flowing on the Mudust Bead, inside which one could see that this strand of pale golden light was filled with dark glows that seemed to have gained the upper hand and could burst forth at any moment.

Zhao Qingmei looked at the Mudust Bead in An Jing’s hand and said, “This must be a strand of thought from the Earth Vein Spirit, right?”

“Yes.”

An Jing nodded. “Zongzheng Huachun has not completely refined this strand of thought from the Earth Vein Spirit. It seems that refining the Earth Vein Spirit is difficult, even just a strand of thought.”

Zhao Qingmei chuckled lightly, “If it were that easy to refine, the Great Qin Emperor and Great Zhou Emperor from past generations would have refined it long ago.”

The Earth Vein Spirit had always been controlled by the emperors of various dynasties, all of whom were martial arts prodigies, but they had never been able to fully master the Earth Vein Spirit.

An Jing pointed with his finger, gathering True Qi into several fine threads. Any normal Grandmaster who saw this would be amazed at how precisely someone could control True Qi.

These True Qi threads wrapped around the strand of thought from the Earth Vein Spirit. An Jing tried to pull it out to explore it, but the Earth Vein Spirit seemed very resistant to it.

“Can I really not cut you down?”

An Jing’s eyes lifted, and those pulling threads suddenly transformed into strands of chilling Sword Qi, rushing towards the strand of thought from the Earth Vein Spirit.

But when this Sword Qi struck the strand of thought from the Earth Vein Spirit, it was as if they struck nothingness, causing no disturbance at all.

An Jing frowned slightly and said, “As expected, severing the Earth Vein Spirit is not that simple.”

“Certainly, severing the Earth Vein Spirit is naturally even harder.”

Zhao Qingmei took the Mudust Bead and examined it, saying, “And from what I see, this is a complete entity. To either refine or sever it, one must go to the Dragon Locking Well to obtain the complete Earth Vein Spirit.”

A strand of thought from the Earth Vein Spirit can increase strength, allowing Zongzheng Huachun to deepen his enlightenment of Heavenly Human Communication, or perhaps use the power of the Mudust Bead to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

But to glimpse the Path of Immortality from it and discover the secrets of breaking through the Grandmaster Realm’s limitations is nearly impossible.

An Jing took a deep breath and said seriously, “It seems I need to reach the Grandmaster Realm soon.”

Zhao Qingmei exhaled and said, “But breaking through this realm is truly difficult, even though the constraints between heaven and earth are getting smaller.”

Breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm was exceedingly difficult, even for someone of her extraordinary talent like hers, who could feel the great challenge in overcoming the Grandmaster Realm’s limitations.

If she had enough time, breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm wouldn’t be difficult, but with the crisis at Dragon Locking Well imminent, how much time did she have left?

An Jing was in the same situation; he had just broken through to the Five Qi Realm and absorbed a strand of Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence from Zongzheng Huachun, but he was still some distance from the Grandmaster Realm.

Thus, both of their strengths had reached a bottleneck, making further progress in the short term nearly impossible.

An Jing spoke gravely, “Dragon Locking Well will surely gather many experts and Grandmasters from across the land.”

Zhao Qingmei nodded and said, “Qian Qiu, Wang Yangsheng, Xi Hafu, and Xu Wang, already four in total. Among them, Qian Qiu and Xu Wang are the most mysterious.”

“Xu Wang…”

An Jing looked into the distance and said, “I think I know his origins.”

Zhao Qingmei blinked and asked, “You know?”

An Jing, recalling various interactions with Xu Wang, said, “His body contains a dense Corpse Qi, and he cannot leave Xu Wang’s Corpse Cave on Mount Xu. Most importantly, he is not bound by life span.”

“If my guess is right, he must be a Corpse Chasing puppet crafted through Southern Barbarian secret techniques.”

Upon hearing An Jing’s conjecture, Zhao Qingmei voiced her astonishment, “A Corpse Chasing puppet! Who crafted it?”

A Grandmaster Realm expert being a Corpse Chasing puppet crafted with Southern Barbarian secret techniques?

Who possesses such grand capabilities?

An Jing shook his head, “I do not know, but he indeed is a Corpse Chasing puppet. I speculate he is like the Black Flood Dragon, having developed his own consciousness.”
