However, after careful observation, Wei Wuya did not find anything worthy of special attention.

So his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect beside him.

At this time, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, motionless, as if he was admiring some fascinating sight.

During this incident, Fang Xiangang, the leader of the Guiling Sect, threw the ancient scroll onto the ground.

It immediately burst into a ball of brilliant green light, and then the outline of a scholar emerged from the painting.

"It's true. I thought I'd never be able to return to this place again."

As soon as Master Cangkun's spiritual incarnation appeared, he did not show any concern for anyone present.

He was just observing the surrounding environment carefully with a heart full of excitement, his expression was extremely excited.

"According to our agreement, I have successfully brought you to this altar."

"As you said, this is the core area of ​​the Fallen Demon Valley and the entrance to the Lingmiao Garden. Now, according to our promise, please open the entrance to the Lingmiao Garden."

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect stared at the scene in front of him indifferently. After the scholar had recovered some of his spirit, he spoke in a cold tone.

"You have already imposed restrictions on me. Are you still worried that I will deceive you? The entrance to Lingmiao Garden is indeed above the altar."

"I didn't lie about that. However, the restriction is quite strange and requires me to cast a spell myself to break it."

After saying this, the scholar looked up at the sky, glanced at the colorful clouds in the sky, then rubbed his hands together, and a ball of gray flame appeared in his palms. Then he waved his hands gently, and the flame flew towards the sky.

However, when the flame touched the clouds, it mysteriously disappeared. Seeing this, the scholar nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the four stone pillars around him, and then said without hesitation:
"My fellow Taoists, please inject some spiritual energy into these four stone pillars, and leave the rest to me."

Hearing this, Wang Tiangu, Li Tianming and Zhang Tianfeng exchanged glances. The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect thought for a moment, then whispered:

"Okay, let's follow your advice. The three of you will go to the stone pillar over there. Junior Brother Wang, we will also need your assistance in the next task."

"I will follow the Sect Master's orders!"

The three disciples immediately answered respectfully, and Wang Tiangu did not hesitate at all and quickly walked towards one of the stone pillars.

Following an order from the Ghost Spirit Sect's leader, the four of them stretched out a hand and placed it on the stone pillar, slowly injecting spiritual power into it, which was then transferred through the stone pillar to the stone statue on top.

Soon after, the four stone pillars began to emit a buzzing sound and tremble slightly. The Qilin stone statue on the top of the building began to glow with aura, and its originally dull eyes now glowed with a blood-red light, as if it was about to be resurrected.

When Wei Wuya saw this scene, he felt vaguely that he had heard a similar description of the four stone pillars somewhere before. But he could not remember the details for a moment. He frowned and thought.

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect stood quietly in his place, observing the scene in front of him silently, remaining silent the entire time.

Suddenly, the stone Qilin statues slowly raised their heads and opened their huge mouths. Colorful light flickered in their mouths, as if some mysterious power was about to burst out.

At this moment, the Confucian scholar with a ghostly body came to life.

He raised both hands and flicked his fingertips. Four gray spells rushed out and hit the stone statue accurately.

In an instant, the mysterious power in Qilin's mouth expanded and contracted instantly, and then gushed out continuously.

Four five-colored light pillars shot up into the sky, rapidly shooting towards a certain point in the air. Then, the light became brighter, and a five-colored light ball as high as ten feet was suspended in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the space around the light ball twisted and deformed, and then suddenly exploded with a deafening bang.

The five-colored spiritual light was dazzling and momentarily covered the sky above the entire altar. The extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations attacked the monks on the altar like a storm.

Even Wei Wuya, a cultivator, couldn't help but change his expression after feeling such a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy. The other cultivators retreated several steps and quickly mobilized their spiritual energy for defense.

Fortunately, the explosion was short-lived. In the blink of an eye, the brilliant light disappeared, and the aura full of spiritual charm also dissipated. The Ghost Spirit Sect breathed a sigh of relief and raised their heads to look up into the sky. However, when they saw the scene clearly, they were shocked. Wei Wuya turned pale and turned his head suddenly. His eyes pierced the Confucian scholar like a sword, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this the entrance to the Lingmiao Garden you mentioned?"

In the sky above the altar, more than 100 feet high, a bright arc of light appeared, which was more than 30 feet long. This arc appeared hazy white, and the widest part was 40 to 50 feet wide, shaped like a crescent moon. Surprisingly, this was a rare large space crack. However, because it was covered by some kind of prohibition, many Nascent Soul level practitioners with powerful magical powers did not realize that such a terrifying existence was hidden in the sky.

Could it be that this astronomical phenomenon indicates that the entrance to the legendary Lingmiao Garden is here?
Faced with the visible distortion and deformation of space, even a strong man like Wei Wuya would never dare to rashly cross the rift into the unknown world.

After all, this kind of spatial pressure from the depths of the universe is not something that ordinary practitioners can withstand.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Wei Wuya couldn't help but feel angry!

"Lingmiao Garden is a mysterious place that connects the spirit world and our human world. If you want to enter it, you must use the space cracks here."

"With just the appropriate twists and changes, the entrance to Lingmiao Garden can be easily opened. Please rest assured, I will find other ways to get you all in smoothly."

"However, there may be a certain degree of risk in this process. As for whether it can be successfully passed, I personally have about 60% to 70% confidence."

"As for these Jindan stage disciples, there is no need to take the risk. Their strength is not enough to cope with this challenge, and they may just die in vain."

The scholar looked around at everyone and said calmly.

"Only 60% to 70% sure? Then why didn't you disclose this information before this operation?"

The Ghost Spirit Sect's leader had a slightly gloomy expression on his face.

"What does it matter whether or not to tell the truth? Even if there is only a 20% or 30% chance, I'm sure you will never give up easily."

The scholar replied with a sneer.

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect stared at the scholar with a cold light flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and a blood-red token appeared in his palm.

"What exactly do you want?"

When the Confucian scholar saw the token, his face changed drastically and he stepped back in panic, questioning loudly.

However, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect remained silent and gently shook the token in his hand.

The blood light on the token suddenly became brighter, and the scholar who was flying backwards let out a shrill scream, and then fell directly to the ground from a low altitude. At the same time, strange blood-red runes appeared on the surface of his skin. These runes kept flowing, and seemed to have deeply integrated into his body, which looked extremely strange.

"Soul-shocking curse?" Wang Tiangu was shocked when he saw this scene, and a very serious expression appeared on his face.

When Wei Wuya heard this name, his expression was slightly shocked.

It is said that this is the secret spell unique to the Ghost Spirit Sect - the Shocking Spell?
It is said that this secret technique far exceeds ordinary forbidden magic, and its cruelty is even more shocking.

Any practitioner who is cast with this spell will have his soul shattered and dissipated in a moment's thought by the person casting the spell.

At this moment, Wei Wuya looked at the Confucian scholar rolling on the ground and asked calmly.

"Haha! Brother Wei is indeed very knowledgeable. This is exactly the spell I cast."

"This spirit is just a fragment of the former Master Cang Kun. He actually wanted to pretend to be the Master Cang Kun who once dominated the world. He really doesn't know his own limitations. This sect master will naturally teach him a lesson."

The leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect looked around and responded with a smile.

Wei Wuya nodded slightly and said no more. For them, no matter what the background of this spirit was, they could not tolerate such unscrupulous behavior.

The Confucian scholar seemed to be experiencing great pain. Every time the blood-colored runes flashed, his body would tremble violently.

He rolled and twitched on the ground with his hands holding his head, his facial expression filled with extreme pain.

This torture lasted for a whole meal, and even his ghost body, which was transformed from his spirit, began to become blurry and erratic.

In such a strange situation, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect finally waved his hand, forcing the mysterious magic he was manipulating in the void to stop working.

"I hope you can deeply understand the lesson at this moment."

"Even if you have retained the same memories as Master Cangkun in the past, you are now just a broken soul in an endless illusion."

"Please respect yourself and don't make the same mistake again. If you make the same mistake again, this level of punishment will no longer serve as a warning."

"This sect master vows to enter Lingmiao Garden, but he does not want to be controlled by others."

"But you don't need to worry. As long as you are sincere to me, I will observe every detail of my promise and will never violate it."

The leader of the Guiling Sect skillfully used a combination of kindness and severity to warn the Confucian scholars.

"I have understood. This will open the entrance to Lingmiao Garden for you." After the scholar stood up, his body gradually solidified, but his expression was unusually calm and indifferent.

When the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect saw the scholar's expression, he was actually a little surprised. His pupils shrank slightly. When he was about to speak again, a green light appeared around the scholar, and his body began to float, slowly rising towards the gap in the air.

The Ghost Spirit Sect leader, who was about to say something but hesitated, could only swallow his words back. After all, compared to teaching this guy a lesson, it was more important to quickly find a way to enter the Lingmiao Garden.

Wei Wuya and the others remained silent, watching the scholar's actions with cold eyes. They had no idea what tricks the scholar had to help them pass through such a terrifying space crack.

The scholar stopped about twenty feet away from the space crack.

He looked up and stared at the huge crack above his head for a moment, a strange expression appeared on his face, then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a spherical object flashing green light gushed out of his mouth.

Inside the sphere is a thumb-sized round bead that is as black as ink. It keeps spinning and floating in front of the scholar.

The scholar who spit out the bead turned pale as paper, and his spirit instantly became weak, as if most of his soul power had been drained away by the bead.

"go with!"

Despite this, the scholar still tried his best to point at the ball and whispered the command.

A flash of light appeared on the black round bead, and it immediately flew into the air.

When the Ghost Spirit Sect leader and others saw this scene, they all showed surprised expressions on their faces. Could such a small bead produce any magical effect?
Just when everyone in the Ghost Spirit Sect was full of doubts, the round bead had just approached the space crack for several feet when it was affected by the powerful attraction in the crack.

A flash of white light passed by, the surrounding space was distorted, and the beads disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At this moment, the space crack remains the same and no abnormal situation has occurred.

However, the Confucian scholar, who was originally close to the space crack, suddenly became extremely gloomy, his body swayed slightly, and he fell straight down.

In a flash, the distance between him and the crack was widened.

Wei Wuya and the others were stunned for a moment. Before they could understand the intention of his action, a low rumbling sound suddenly came from the space crack.

Immediately afterwards, in the center of the white mist, a green light flickered, and then the green light expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge dark green light ball that was several feet high. The surface of the light was dazzling and a sharp whistling sound was about to come out.

"Next, it depends on your magical powers. You just need to do your best to send energy to that green light ball, and then you can completely open the door to Lingmiao Garden."

At this time, the Confucian scholar landed on the altar and spoke weakly.

The three of them then stood still, made hand gestures and cast spells at the same time, then waved their arms together. Three beams of light of different colors burst out from their palms and hit the dark green light ball in the space crack directly.

At this moment, the cultivation levels of the three people can be seen at a glance.

The emerald green spiritual pillar shot out by Wei Wuya was as thick as a bowl in diameter.

In comparison, the spiritual power light columns of the Ghost Spirit Sect's leader and Wang Tiangu were slightly smaller in size, but roughly the same.

After receiving the endless input of vast spiritual power from the three spirit pillars, the originally irregular dark green light ball suddenly increased its shrieking sound, and its volume gradually expanded outwards.

Soon after, a dark hole gradually appeared in the core area of ​​the emerald green light. At first, it was only a foot in size, and the inside was bottomless. No one knew where it led to. (End of this chapter)
