Chapter 276
byYang Kai’s complexion changed slightly. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared this time. Although his spiritual soul was still in pain, he was not as helpless as before.
His spiritual soul was tightly closed, and he tightly guarded the clarity of his spiritual platform. The Soul-Warming Lotus also played its role in a timely manner. A faint cool feeling spread in his mind, and the pain was suddenly reduced.
Halting in mid-air, Yang Kai took a few deep breaths. After adapting to such an attack intensity, he continued to dive down.
After diving about a hundred zhang deeper, he felt that the attack of the fierce and evil qi around him seemed to have increased a little. The unbearable pain came again, and Yang Kai finally stopped his body.
In this way, he dived intermittently for about a thousand zhang, but still did not see the bottom of the Dragon-Trapping Ravine.
Yang Kai’s brows were tightly furrowed, and he was faintly unable to bear it anymore.
The damage to the spiritual soul here was much more violent than that in the white fog in the foreign land back then.
In that white fog, the white fog only attacked the spiritual soul. But the fierce and evil qi here not only attacked the spiritual soul, but also various evils would penetrate into the mind and draw out the evil factors hidden deep in Yang Kai’s mind.
This place was definitely a treasured place for tempering the spiritual soul and cultivating the power of the spiritual sense！ Just after diving a thousand zhang, Yang Kai clearly felt that his power of the spiritual sense had increased a little.
If he could cultivate here for a long time, it might not be a problem to cultivate a Sea of Consciousness.
But Yang Kai couldn’t endure it for too long. If he stayed for a long time, his state of mind might be influenced and assimilated by the surrounding atmosphere.
After a long silence, Yang Kai suddenly spoke up and asked the Earth Demon, “Do you know any Soul Skills？ Preferably defensive ones.”
“Yes！” The Earth Demon responded readily.
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier？” Yang Kai was exasperated.
“The things this old servant has mastered, whether they are Martial Skills, cultivation methods, or Soul Skills, are all extremely evil. Young Master, you have always looked down on them.” The Earth Demon felt a bit wronged.
“Is this Soul Skill also like that？” Yang Kai asked.
“Although it can be considered so, if you cultivate here, you don’t need those cruel means. The evil demonic Qi here is originally the best place to cultivate that Soul Skill.”
“Then stop talking nonsense and quickly teach me that Soul Skill！”
“Oh…”
The Earth Demon’s memories were very chaotic. Although he had been brought out of the Inheritance Cave Heaven by Yang Kai for more than two years, it had always been like this. After responding to Yang Kai, he pondered for a long time before he could recall most of that Soul Skill and teach it to Yang Kai.
The Palace of Confusion！
According to what the Earth Demon said, to cultivate this Soul Skill, one had to find some living people and torture them until they wished they were dead. Only after experiencing fear, dread, and despair, the Soul Power generated by these people after their deaths could be used to cultivate the Palace of Confusion.
The cultivator collects the souls of the dead and constructs a maze-like existence in his own mind.
Those tortured and resentful souls are the bricks and tiles for building this maze. The more evil the resentful souls, the greater the power of the maze.
After the labyrinth is successfully cultivated there will be layers of winding passages around the cultivator’s sea of consciousness. The greatest use of this martial skill is for defense.
But it is also a soul skill with both offense and defense.
If an enemy dares to use the power of the divine sense to attack the cultivator, once the divine sense falls into this maze, it will never be able to find a way out and will gradually be exhausted of power by the resentful souls hidden in the Enchanted Palace.
The Labyrinth does not have a great achievement realm because the cultivator can always add bricks and tiles to the palace is located around the sea of consciousness to consolidate and expand it.
It guards the cultivator’s sea of consciousness from being invaded by the outside world and is an impregnable defense.
And the rich and substantive evil demonic energy here is undoubtedly the most suitable bricks and tiles for cultivating the Enchanted Palace.
Such a soul skill quite suits Yang Kai’s heart and makes him very happy. Immediately, he quickly starts to cultivate it.
However, before this, Yang Kai has to first familiarize himself with how to use his divine sense to capture the evil and violent qi that is outside the body and use them as the foundation for building the maze.
This was relatively simple. Yang Kai had already cultivated his spiritual sense. He only needed to try using it.
For several consecutive days, Yang Kai was familiarizing himself with the wonderful uses of his spiritual sense. Strands of pitch-black evil qi were drawn into his mind, following Yang Kai’s own ideas and imaginations. They were turned into bricks and tiles, gradually constructing the palace that guarded his spiritual sense.
A tall building rises from the ground. The same is true for building a palace in the mind, and it is also a palace like a maze.
After getting familiar with it, the movements became more refined and faster.
For a whole month, Yang Kai was cultivating the palace of the labyrinth at a depth of a thousand zhang beneath the dragon gorge.
Strands of evil energy were captured by the spiritual sense and disappeared deep into the mind. The maze with thousands of twists and turns gradually took on a rudimentary form and slowly expanded and became more complex.
After a month of cultivation, Yang Kai clearly felt that the power of his spiritual sense had increased a lot. Now, when his spiritual sense spread out, it could detect the movements within a radius of twenty li.
The power of the spiritual sense was originally very difficult to increase. Even for a Divine Movement Jing expert, it was extremely difficult to achieve something in terms of the spiritual sense.
It was much more difficult than cultivating the physical body.
The most commonly used methods were to cultivate soul skills or ingest natural treasures that could increase the power of the spiritual sense.
Yang Kai cultivated the Soul Confusion Palace in such a harsh environment thousands of feet below the Dragon Trapping Ravine, and with the assistance of the Warm Soul Lotus, it was only natural that his spiritual consciousness would become powerful.
Another ten days or so passed, and the Soul Confusion Palace was finally slightly accomplished.
Although he still hadn’t managed to cultivate a sea of consciousness, Yang Kai could clearly feel that around his mind, there were layers of defenses tightly guarding the most crucial position.
These layers of defenses were all piled up with the evil energy overflow from beneath the Dragon Trapping Ravine.
Yet they couldn’t affect Yang Kai in the slightest.
Because this was a soul technique cultivated by Yang Kai, and all the evil energy had been branded with his aura.
With the initial accomplishment of the Soul Confusion Palace, Yang Kai naturally couldn’t wait to give it a try.
The position he was in was thousands of feet below the Dragon Trapping Ravine, and the fierce and malevolent qi here couldn’t cause any harm to him anymore.
Leaping down, his speed getting faster and faster.
At two thousand feet, the Soul Confusion Palace was as solid as a rock; at three thousand feet, the Soul Confusion Palace still didn’t waver in the slightest.
Falling all the way to the deepest part of the Dragon Trapping Ravine, Yang Kai still didn’t notice any influence of the fierce and malevolent qi here on himself. After thinking it over, Yang Kai had a sudden realization.
This wasn’t because the defense of the Soul Confusion Palace was effective, but because this soul technique of his was originally forged from the demonic qi of this place.
The two were originally of the same origin. How could the evil spirit outside affect his spiritual consciousness？
“This soul technique is not bad.” Yang Kai grinned.
He could clearly feel how terrifying and rich the evil aura at the bottom of the Trapped Dragon Ravine was. If there was no protection of the Confusion Palace, his spiritual consciousness might be wiped out instantly.
“The source of the evil spirit should be over here.” The voice of the Earth Demon came.
“This side is also the source of the Yang Qi！” Yang Kai’s expression was a little delighted. The Yang Source Seal on his chest was beating continuously, and the movement was very violent.
There was some kind of Yang-attribute treasure ahead, and it was a very precious treasure！
He hurriedly walked towards that side, his steps brisk.
The Trapped Dragon Ravine was very long and could not be seen at the end at a glance.
Walking along the way, he saw a lot of white bones. Stepping on these bones, there was a clicking sound of cracking, which sounded thrilling.
These should all be the disciples of the Lingxiao Pavilion who died after being sealed in the Trapped Dragon Ravine in previous years.
On both sides of the cliff, there were also some not very tall trees, and there were some black fruits on the trees.
In such a place, there were actually plants growing. Yang Kai casually picked a fruit and took a look. He saw that the fruit was also full of evil energy, and there was a chilly feeling when he started, which made people involuntarily feel a sense of horror.
“Demonic Spirit Fruit… TSK TSK there is actually such a thing here.” The Earth Demon marveled and sighed with emotion. “No wonder the second disciple of your sect master was able to survive here.”
“I was also wondering what he ate here for ten years.” Yang Kai smiled slightly and reached out to pick all the remaining few fruits and threw them into the Black Book Space.
The second disciple of the sect master did not pick all these fruits clean. I don’t know what kind of psychology it was. Maybe it was because these fruits had nourished him for ten years and it was a souvenir left before leaving.
However, there were not many left, only two or three fruits. This was not a good thing. It just stored a large amount of evil energy inside.
Continuing to walk forward, after a while, in the overwhelming demonic energy, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Kai.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but shrink his pupils, suddenly stopped his steps, and looked over there vigilantly secretly urging his true essence.
Here, he didn’t dare to use his spiritual sense. Once the spiritual sense left the position protected by the Confusion Palace, it would immediately turn into ashes. So he didn’t know who the figure in front was exactly.
But the figure gave Yang Kai a very strange feeling.
There was no trace of the breath of life. He was sitting cross-legged there. Around his body, more than a dozen jet-black black auras were churning like dragons. Blocked by the black air, his appearance could not be seen clearly.
“Dead！” the Earth Demon said in a deep voice.
Yang Kai nodded slightly and slowly approached him.
When he got closer, Yang Kai immediately caught sight of a chain-like thing around this person’s neck. The chain was connected to a collar around this person’s neck, and the other end was dragged in front of the chest. It wasn’t very long, probably only about one foot.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but be moved.
Because he discovered that this chain and collar were all made of Yang Attribute treasures. The aura coming from them was extremely masculine and Yang, countless times higher than the True Yang Yuan Qi in his own body.
Vaguely, Yang Kai felt that his own Yuan Qi had some affinity with this collar.
After thinking for a while, he understood. He had cultivated in the Dragon-Trapping Ravine for a period of time, and the Yang Qi he absorbed was also emitted by this collar. It was not strange to have such a feeling.
This person’s clothes had long since turned to dust, and most of his flesh and blood had almost dried up. However, within that seemingly frail body, there was a terrifying explosive power hidden. All the evil and demonic Qi under the Dragon-Trapping Ravine was actually emitted from this person’s body.
On his chest, there was a huge wound, hideous and terrifying.
