Chapter 118: Proper Arrangements
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The time spent using the magic power of the Demonic Thought Divine Technique seemed short, but in reality, a day had passed.
“Imperial Preceptor, you’re here,” said King Zhenluo, who was originally sitting down, as he saw the blood-red light fly into the hall and quickly stood up.
“Your Majesty, have you chosen the mountain range?” Zhang Chen asked.
“I’ve already chosen it. Imperial Preceptor, please take a look. It’s here.” King Zhen Luo pointed to a map on the table.
Zhang Chen glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.
According to the map, it was a vast mountain range called the Fallen Phoenix Mountain. It was located on the other side of Zhenluo Kingdom’s border, far from the territory of the White Bone Hall.
“Alright, I’ll borrow this mountain range. Your Majesty, please give an order that no one else is allowed to approach,” Zhang Chen said.
King Zhen Luo said happily, “It’s good that the Imperial Preceptor is satisfied. I’ll give the order immediately.
“I will take a drop of your blood as identification. If you or your descendants are ever in trouble, you can go to the mountain range for refuge.”
With that, Zhang Chen reached out and took a drop of King Zhenluo’s blood.
It would take him at least several decades to form his core. It was enough for ordinary people to reproduce for three to four generations. No one knew what would happen during this period.
“Thank you, Imperial Preceptor.” King Zhenluo quickly thanked him with a bow.
“Your Majesty, until we meet again,” Zhang Chen turned into a blood-red light and left.
King Zhenluo watched as Zhang Chen disappeared, feeling lost for a moment before finally shouting, “Men!”
“Your Majesty.” An old eunuch respectfully entered the hall.
“Pass down my decree. From now on, the Fallen Phoenix Mountain will be the dojo of the Imperial Preceptor. No one is allowed to approach it!”
“As you command.”
The blood-red light streaked across the sky like a red shooting star before finally landing in a mountain range.
This mountain range resembled a bird’s nest and was rumored to be the resting place of a phoenix, hence its name, Fallen Phoenix Mountain.
Zhang Chen spread out his divine sense, surveying the surrounding environment and choosing places to settle the demons and place the formation.
“Found it!”
Zhang Chen flew towards the depths of the mountain range and arrived at a natural cave after a moment.
The cave was two miles deep and filled with stalactites, making it very suitable for use as a cave dwelling.
“Pupupupu…”
Zhang Chen’s arrival startled a large number of bats inside the cave, and they swarmed towards him like a black tide.
Zhang Chen was unmoved and remained where he was.
However, something strange happened.
As soon as these bats approached Zhang Chen, their bodies shriveled and they fell to the ground one by one.
In just a moment, the ground in front of Zhang Chen was piled with bat corpses.
If there were cultivators present, they would realize that these bats had been stripped of their life force and died.
What Zhang Chen used was the Hades Death Decree Technique that he had just obtained. It could seize the life force and lifespan of others to supplement himself.
The side effect was that once he used this cultivation technique, his own life force and lifespan would be depleted at twice the speed, and every time he took away someone else’s life force and lifespan, the depletion speed would double.
Others were afraid of accelerating the depletion of their own life force and lifespan and dared not use it casually. They could only use it as a means of prolonging their lifespan, but Zhang Chen could use it as an attacking technique.
When facing evenly matched enemies, he could also use the Hades Death Decree Technique to continuously absorb their life force and lifespan. This way, he could gain an advantage and eventually defeat them.
When facing enemies who were old and had a short lifespan left, the battle might not even be over before they passed away.
This was also the reason why Zhang Chen chose this spell.
“Not bad.”
Looking at the dense pile of bat corpses and feeling the slight increase in his own life force, Zhang Chen nodded in satisfaction. Then he took out a formation flag from his storage bag and began to set up the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Zhang Chen tossed the formation flag into the air, and it scattered in all directions, shooting into the stone walls.
Immediately after, Zhang Chen took out a spirit stone and threw it into the formation’s eye.
“Spirit Gathering Formation, rise!”
As Zhang Chen chanted the incantation and connected the formation flag with his spiritual energy, the formation flag on the stone wall glowed.
Although there seemed to be no visible changes in the cave, Zhang Chen could clearly feel the spiritual energy gathering from all directions into the cave.
After setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation, Zhang Chen left the cave and went outside, preparing to set up the Cloud Mist Formation.
The Cloud Mist Formation was a large-scale formation that required a lot of meticulous work to set up.
Zhang Chen first observed the terrain and estimated the range before starting to set up.
Half an hour later, the formation was complete and the flags began releasing a large amount of mist, quickly covering the mountains.
On the surface, it looked no different from normal fog.
Zhang Chen tried to release his divine sense to investigate, but found that he couldn’t penetrate the fog.
There seemed to be an inexplicable power in the fog that could refract divine sense.
As soon as his divine sense entered the fog, it was as if he had entered a maze, unable to penetrate to the other side.
The only downside was that this smokescreen array only blocked divine sense and normal people could still enter the formation.
Therefore, he had King Zhenluo order a ban on ordinary people approaching the mountains.
Cultivators generally wouldn’t enter places that their divine sense couldn’t detect, which meant that there were likely other cultivators here.
Of course, it would also attract some cultivators who liked to search for treasures.
However, there were hundreds of Foundation Establishment demon beasts confined in the mountains, so it was basically impossible to leave unless they were at the Golden Core stage.
After everything was set up, Zhang Chen took out the demon breeding bag and infused it with mana.
The strange and bizarre demon beasts fell down like dumplings. The demon beasts didn’t roar or make any noise, but stood quietly in place, looking up at Zhang Chen like soldiers waiting for orders.
After releasing all the demon beasts, Zhang Chen said, “From now on, you will cultivate in the karst cave below. You are not allowed to leave the mountain range.”
Although these demon beasts had the Beast Slave Seal on them and could not disobey his commands, they were still intelligent beings and needed to be guarded against.
With a thought, a Blood God Son with intelligence flew out of his body.
Zhang Chen instructed, ‘You will stay here to supervise their practice and not allow them to leave the mountains.”
The Blood God Son couldn’t speak, but nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chen held out his hand, and a drop of blood floated in the air.
“Remember the scent of this blood. If someone with this bloodline comes in the future, protect them.”
After speaking, Zhang Chen flicked his finger and the blood shot towards the Blood God Son.
The Blood God Son opened its mouth and swallowed the blood, sensing the scent of the blood and remembering it firmly.
After arranging everything, Zhang Chen didn’t linger any longer and turned into a blood light and left.
Next, he needed to go to the territory of the Silver Moon Sect to find Hong Longguang’s descendants.
At the same time, he prepared to go to the Silver Moon Sect’s market to buy the materials to set up the Great Grudge Curse Technique formation.
The reason he didn’t buy it in the Blood God Sect or the White Bone Hall was that he was afraid of being discovered.
Because he was going to use the Great Grudge Curse on Elder Blood River!
It was too difficult to curse a late-stage Golden Core cultivator to death, let alone Elder Blood River, who was known for his survival ability.
Zhang Chen did not have any extravagant hopes of cursing Elder Blood River to death. His main goal was to harass him and make him suspicious, and distract him, so that he wouldn’t pay attention to him, thus delaying his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.
Once Elder Blood River knew that he was being cursed, he would definitely investigate.
That was why Zhang Chen chose to go to the Silver Moon Clan’s territory to buy materials and complete the agreement with Hong Longguang to find his descendants..
