On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"This!"

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, paying attention to the stunning view in front of them.

The corpses of the undead, when turned to ash, would slowly dissipate in the air as if being absorbed by the forest.

The forest absorbed the remnants of the undead, transforming them into new undead. Chen Tian could sense the raw energy emanating from the forest, as if it were fueling the creation of these new undead beings.

It looked like the forest had become a never-ending cycle of death and rebirth.

"Hold on, this shouldn't be happening!" Chen Tian exclaimed, his voice filled with both curiosity and surprise.

It was not the first time that Chen Tian had encountered such a thing; he had seen many scenes like this during his travels, but he only saw something like that in the Nine Heavens, not in the mortal world.

'The only thing that can absorb Yin energy from the atmosphere and transform it into undead beings is a Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl,' Chen Tian thought to himself.

But something like that shouldn't be in the mortal world, as the Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl was a rare and highly coveted treasure even in the Nine Heavens.

The Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl can absorb the Yin energy from the surrounding environment, refine it, and control Yin spirits, enabling the creation of undead servants.

It increases the concentration of Yin energy in the air, creating a frigid and oppressive atmosphere.

Chen Tian's mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation unfolding before him. Could there really be a Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl here?

If what he was guessing was true, then this was Chen Tian's lucky day.

"If I can get my hands on this Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl and use it with another treasure that possesses Yang energy, I can create a Yin-Yang Formation that could not only boost my Yang Qi to another level but could also enhance the girls' Yin Qi, and with that, our cultivation will reach new heights," Chen Tian thought excitedly.

However, the problem is: how does he find the Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl? Chen Tian pondered over this question as he scanned the surroundings, searching for any clues.

He channeled more spiritual Qi into his eyes as Chaos Insight activated, allowing him to see further.

"I need to see where this energy is being absorbed and trace it back to its source," Chen Tian muttered to himself.

Therefore, Chen Tian started killing as many undead as he could find and used Chaos Insight to check the energy patterns left behind by their demise.

Each time he struck down an undead creature, he carefully observed the residual energy fluctuations, trying to find a direct direction that would lead him to the origin of this mysterious energy absorption.

"Damn it!" After trying several times, Chen Tian still couldn't locate the source of the energy absorption.

It was like something was blocking his sight, even with Chaos Insight.

Frustrated, Chen Tian decided to think of another approach.

'Even Chaos Insight, which can let me see the hidden connections and patterns of the world, is failing me; there is more to it than I thought,' Chen Tian thought to himself.

He recalled that the Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl usually amplified the Yin energy in the air, making it denser.

Should he try using it to detect the source of the mysterious energy absorption?

If it really was a Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl, then the thicker the Yin energy, the closer Chen Tian gets to the source.

With this new strategy in mind, Chen Tian used his spiritual sense to scan his surroundings, searching for any signs of increased Yin energy. As he delved deeper into his surroundings, he could feel the subtle shifts in energy, guiding him towards the source.

He even forgot about his mission; the Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl was more important in his eyes.

...

"Damn it, that bastard is heading deeper into the forbidden area!" Ma Chen muttered to himself as he quickened his pace.

"Quick, we need to catch up to him before he reaches that area!" Ma Chen signaled to He Hu, who looked quite serious for the first time.

He followed suit as both increased their speed.

"Is that kid an idiot? Doesn't he know that place is forbidden and dangerous?" He Hu asked, his eyes filled with anger.

They knew that if Chen Tian reached the forbidden area, the consequences could be catastrophic.

They could forget about killing their target because as soon as Chen Tian dares and steps inside the forbidden area of Whispering Pine Woods, both of them wouldn't dare to follow him, knowing the dangers that awaited inside.

The true horror of the Whispering Pine Woods was known only to a select few.

The forbidden area was a mystery to all the Qinglong continent; even experts in the Dao realm had no knowledge of how it formed.

The amount of Yin energy inside could drive even the bravest cultivators insane, twisting their minds and turning them into mindless beasts.

Not to mention the undead and spirits there are high in numbers and more powerful.

Both Ma Chen and He Hu sped up their pace.

Fortunately for them, they were not that far away from Chen Tian's location.

"Is that the target?" He Hu asked, pointing towards Chen Tian in the far distance.

"Yes," Ma Chen replied, squinting his eyes to get a better look.

Hu Jianyu already showed him what Chen Tian looked like, so it wasn't a problem for him to recognize him.

Both of them decided to keep a distance of 30 meters from Chen Tian, not wanting to alert him to their presence.

The spiritual sense of a Qi refinement cultivator could at most reach 20 meters, so they felt confident that they were safe from detection.

They knew that approaching him directly might not be good; even if the target was only a Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator, anything can be possible in the world of cultivation.

As they watched Chen Tian from afar, they noticed him moving inside the forbidden area, making them frown.

"Ma Chen, we need to act now before he enters," whispered He Hu.

"Let's go." With a nod, Ma Chen and He Hu stealthily made their way towards Chen Tian. Carefully, they wanted to sneak attack him and catch him off guard.

...

Meanwhile, as Chen Tian headed deeper inside the forest, he suddenly sensed that someone was following him.

'Two cultivators? Who are they?' Chen Tian wondered. His spiritual sense could easily reach 100 meters now that he was in the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

He stopped in his tracks, his spiritual sense scanning the surroundings.

He immediately spotted Ma Chen and He Hu approaching him cautiously; Chen Tian's eyes narrowed with hostility.

'Chaos Insight.'

Chen Tian activated his Chaos Insight, allowing him to see through both cultivators.

****************

☆ Ma Chen

☆ Age: 27 years old ☆ Cultivation Level: [5th Stage Meridian Opening]

☆ Earth Law (25%)

****************

****************

☆ He Hu

☆ Age: 25 years old ☆ Cultivation Level: [4th Stage Meridian Opening]

☆ Wind Law (17%)

****************

Chen Tian checked both of their cultivation levels and elemental laws.

He could sense that both cultivators were following him with malicious intent.

'But why? I have never seen them before?' Chen Tian thought to himself.

He had never encountered Ma Chen and He Hu before, so he couldn't understand why they would target him.

However, with his Chaos Insight, Chen Tian could see that their cultivation levels and elemental laws were inferior to his own.

So he didn't need to worry about their threat too much. Chen Tian continued on his way, but he still didn't forget to spy on Ma Chen and He Hu from a safe distance.

His spiritual sense reached out, keeping a close watch on their every move. As he observed them, Chen Tian noticed their suspicious behavior and how they started approaching him silently.

He narrowed his eyebrow at their sudden change in demeanor.

'Humph, you want to sneak attack me? Then come, I really want to see your motives for attacking me.' Chen Tian thought to himself as he smiled inwardly at the idiots coming his way.

Chen Tian even made them an opening offer, inviting them to make their move. He made sure to act as if he hadn't noticed them and kept moving toward his destination.

"He Hu, now!"

Suddenly, Chen Tian swiftly turned around.

He anticipated their attack and swiftly countered, as his sword immediately appeared in his hand and blocked his opponent's sword.

Both He Hu and Ma Chen were taken aback by their target's speed.

"Hello there," Chen Tian said calmly, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

"I must say, I admire your determination, but your skills are no match for mine."

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Tian's sword swung with incredible precision, forcing He Hu and Ma Chen to retreat a few steps.

"Now that both of you decided to show up, why not stay here forever?" Chen Tian taunted, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Ma Chen and He Hu frowned. There is something wrong here!
