Chapter 156: Departure to Shadow Island!

In a quiet room.

Victor took out a blank jade slip and tried to carve the “Tree Building Technique”. After spending a whole afternoon, he finally carved the first half of the “Tree Building Technique”.

There were many parts that Victor had optimized. This could be considered as some insights after practicing the Tree Building technique for so long.

This technique was not very useful to Zhang Lingren. After all, Zhang Lingren was already a foundation establishment cultivator. This technique was too basic. Victor had prepared it for Song Qianqian. At the very least, it would not be inferior to the foundation technique of Illusionary Sword Peak.

Midnight.

Song Qianqian’s room was still lit. She sat cross-legged on the bed to rest, but her heart could not calm down. Right now, she was somewhat envious of the disciples of the mystic realm sect, especially the heavenly favored daughter, Ye Lingxuan. It would be great if she had her strength and talent.

Whether it was the beast tide or the Heavenly Sword Mountain competition, she had been going with the flow. If this continued, she would be distanced further and further away from Junior Elder Victor.

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door. It was Victor.

Song Qianqian was stunned for a moment. It was not polite to visit a girl’s room in the middle of the night. If it was seen by others, it would be considered a disgrace.

The two walked into the room and Song Qianqian asked in confusion, “Junior elder, is there something urgent?”

“It’s for you.”

Victor did not say much and directly placed a jade slip on the table.

Song Qianqian picked up the jade slip and sensed it carefully. She was immediately shocked.

After looking at it for a full ten minutes, Song Qianqian withdrew her perception in shock and looked at Victor in disbelief.

Although Victor’s “Tree Building Technique” was incomplete, with Song Qianqian’s talent and intelligence, she had already realized the value of this set of cultivation techniques. It was much better than the core cultivation technique given by the Heavenly Sword Mountain.

“This is… the Tree Building technique?”

Song Qianqian’s voice trembled slightly. The content of this cultivation technique was actually for immortal cultivators. She remembered that the “Tree Building Technique” was a martial arts cultivation technique.

“Could it be that junior elder had improved it himself?”

“Regardless, why did junior elder give it to me?”

For a moment, many chaotic thoughts flooded into Song Qianqian’s mind, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

Victor smiled and said, “The content of this cultivation technique should be enough for you to use in the spirit gathering realm. Once you break through the spirit gathering realm, you can consider switching to other cultivation techniques.”

“These are foundation building pills, and some of the basic martial techniques of the Bright Moon Sect. You can learn them and help me hand them over to the sect.”

As he spoke, Victor placed a storage ring on the table. After he was done speaking, Victor felt as if his thoughts had been cleared, and his body and mind seemed to have become much more relaxed.

Without any worries, Victor had decided to go to Shadow Island and retrieve the Bright Moon Sect’s secret treasure tomorrow.

..

There were many forbidden areas on the East continent. In comparison, Shadow Island couldn’t be considered an extreme territory. After all, it could only threaten a spirit gathering realm’s secret realm at most.

As for foundation establishment realm cultivators, as long as they avoided the king of ghosts, there would essentially be no danger. As long as it was not related to their own huge interests, no one would be willing to risk their lives fighting.

With Victor’s strength, it was still somewhat dangerous to go to Shadow Island. However, with Bai Yulan’s familiarity with Shadow Island, the possibility of being targeted by the king of ghosts was very small.

Moreover, before going to Shadow Island, he had to make a trip to the Western Liang Xuanming Sect.

This was regarding the bet he had made with the Xuanming Sect. Previously, due to various matters, Victor never had the time to make a trip there.

Now, he just happened to have the time to go and obtain the spirit fruit.

Regarding Victor’s arrival, although Sect Leader Wang was very reluctant, he still welcomed him with a smile on his face.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, Victor’s current status was too terrifying. Even the Emperor of the Dayuan Dynasty would have to serve him respectfully, let alone a sect leader like him.

After receiving the spirit fruit from Wang Ce, Victor immediately consumed the fruit without means of being modest. The spirit fruit juice flowed down from Victor’s chest like nectar, and countless hot streams filled Victor’s entire body, a stream of turbid air was expelled from Victor’s body, and the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed into his meridians.

Gradually, Victor discovered the benefits of the spirit fruit. Compared to those pills, the spirit fruit did not produce any impurities, and the spiritual energy also had a purifying effect.

He immediately operated the Green Dragon Life Form, further purifying the spiritual energy in his entire body.

It wasn’t until sunset that Victor finally optimized the full effect of the spiritual fruit. When Victor walked out of the secret chamber, Sect Leader Wang tried his best to squeeze out a smile and handed over a jade box, which contained another spiritual fruit.

After leaving the Xuanming Sect, Victor’s strength didn’t increase much. He was still in the 13th level of the spirit gathering realm, but the pill poison in his body had pretty much been removed.

Bai Yulan had been following Victor for the past few days. She had been silent all the way. When she was in Qingshan Town, she stayed in her room most of the time.

As the two of them went deeper into the ocean, they passed by many islands. It wasn’t until they saw Shadow Island that Victor realized that the island was much bigger than he had imagined.

Standing on the back of the Flying Dragon Beast, they quickly flew over a few thousand meters. The first thing they saw was the black land. There was black fog everywhere. They couldn’t even get a proper look at the Shadow Island.

“How big is Shadow Island?” Victor asked with his eyes slightly narrowed.

“It’s about a million meters. I’m not sure about the specific situation,” Bai Yulan said after thinking for a while.

Victor nodded slightly. Indeed, if Shadow Island wasn’t big, this thousand-year-old secret treasure would have been taken away long ago.

“Let’s land here. It should be around this area.”

Bai Yulan took out two talismans from her storage ring and handed one to Victor.

“This is a shadow talisman. It can isolate the aura on the body and prevent us from being hunted by ghosts.”

Victor took the talisman, which was written in black on a white base. There was a strange symbol drawn in the middle of the talisman, which looked like an incantation. This thing was similar to his spiritual spell.

After injecting spiritual power into it, the talisman suddenly burned and turned into a black incantation that entered Victor’s body. Immediately, the spiritual power fluctuation and the power of blood in Victor’s body disappeared. At the same time, his originally red and delicate skin became pale, his body temperature was ice-cold, and a wave of death energy emitted.

“Good stuff!”

Victor praised. These ghosts liked to absorb the blood energy and pure spiritual energy of living people. If a person’s life force was blocked, he would naturally be no different from the ghosts and would not be entangled by them.

However, what Victor did not know was that every time the talisman was used, the spiritual energy exhausted was very high.

Victor relied on the Tree Building technique to have an endless amount of spiritual energy in his body, but Bai Yulan wasn’t so lucky.

Meanwhile, while she activated the talisman, the spiritual energy in her body rapidly depleted, and her entire state became very weak.

When Victor witnessed it, he stretched out his hand and pressed on Bai Yulan’s back, injecting a few wisps of his spiritual energy into her. Only then did she manage to recover.

“Thank you.”

Bai Yulan nodded her head gratefully. At the same time, when she saw Victor’s calm appearance, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Victor actually has such abundant spiritual power?”

…

After equipping the talisman, Victor and Bai Yulan found a place to land and stepped onto the territory of Shadow Island.

As soon as they stood on the island, they immediately felt a gust of cold wind, and their eyes were met with endless black fog!

If a mortal touched this fog of death, they would immediately be poisoned to death!

Those with weak immunity would decompose into a corpse after a few days.

Even spirit gathering realm cultivators who stayed in this fog of death for a long time without the replenishment of the dantian would die from the exhaustion of spiritual power and eventually die from poisoning.

However, Victor didn’t have to worry about the exhaustion of spiritual power at all.

To him, spiritual power was an inexhaustible resource.

“The entrance should be the stone wall in front.”

Bai Yulan compared the scene in front of her with the jade slip in her hand and said affirmatively.
