Chapter 131: Condense the Netherworld Dao Foundation
The vast expanses of Wu Province were comprised of deep mountains and valleys.
Scattered like pearls among them were the cities of the human tribes.
Chu Xuan used these cities as references to locate the three battlefields.
He had once visited the Plains City, which lay closer to Jin Province in the west.
To its southeast lay the White Water City.
Yinma Plain was situated in the central region of Wu Province.
Chu Xuan headed southward.
Half a day later, he arrived at Yinma Plain.
Upon arrival, he marveled at the sight.
Yinma Plain had witnessed the deaths of countless mortals; from above, one could see the rising miasma of resentment and Evil Qi.
The five righteous sects of the Yu Kingdom had long been unable to control the Yin Evil Qi in various locales.
Such a battlefield, heavy with resentment and malevolence, naturally attracted many demonic cultivators.
To them, it was as if a mouse had stumbled into a rice barrel.
However, the battlefield was vast, and the demonic cultivators were few.
Thus, each tacitly claimed a territory without dispute.
Furthermore, Qi Refining demonic cultivators occupied the periphery of the battlefield.
Those at the Foundation Establishment stage were within the inner circle.
Like wells and rivers, they did not interfere with each other.
Chu Xuan, exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment, advanced unchallenged.
He soon reached the inner circle of the battlefield.
Before long, he noticed a skirmish ahead.
At first glance, it seemed a group was ganging up on three individuals.
Upon closer inspection.
It was indeed a female cultivator controlling five corpse puppets, besieging three cultivators!
The female cultivator handled them with ease.
The three cultivators struggled to break through but could not penetrate the defenses of the corpse puppets.
Chu Xuan glanced over and couldn't help but smile.
Interesting.
This female cultivator was his former junior sister, Li Xiaoman.
She was one of the few heirs of the Corpse Puppet Sect.
Xu Ming once invited her to explore the Ghost Palace for treasures, but she declined.
At that time, Chu Xuan thought Xu Ming was a fool, while Li Xiaoman knew how to seek fortune and avoid disaster.
Indeed, she had survived.
In the blink of an eye, two early Foundation Establishment cultivators fell at the hands of the corpse puppets.
The last one stood alone, hard-pressed to support himself, and was personally captured by Li Xiaoman with her Yin Evil Demon Claw, knocked out on the spot.
It seemed she intended to capture him alive, to refine a powerful corpse general.
Chu Xuan had no desire to reveal himself in her presence.
Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield, Chu Xuan was frenziedly absorbing the Evil Qi.
Beneath his crown chakra, an inch down, his Netherworld Dao Foundation gradually took shape.
One day, two days, three days...
Time passed day by day.
Until a month later, the cold, secluded Netherworld Dao Foundation was finally fully formed.
At this moment, Chu Xuan's spirit surged, doubling in strength.
The entire Yinma Plain was within his perception!
He suddenly opened his eyes, his expression one of delight.
The Netherworld Dao Foundation was established, and a hundred thousand souls were gathered.
It was time to return to Blue Star to condense the Netherworld Soul Core!
He immediately piloted the Green Shadow Shuttle to a safe location, and from there, he used the Blood Mirror to return to Blue Star.
...
On the rooftop of the luxurious Haotai Hotel, with the ocean's expanse as his backdrop, Chu Xuan took out the Myriad Souls Banner and slowly released the hundred thousand souls.
These souls had almost no aggressiveness and simply stood still, looking blank and foolish.
Chu Xuan then proceeded to follow the method of the Netherworld Soul Core, activating his Netherworld Dao Foundation to absorb these souls.
One, two, three...
The souls, unable to resist, became part of the Netherworld Dao Foundation.
After absorbing over a hundred souls, he felt a throbbing pain in his mind.
He had to stop and completely refine these souls.
What followed was a repetitive process.
Absorb, refine, rest, then absorb again, refine again, and rest again...
In the path of cultivation, time is inconsequential.
The days spent condensing the Netherworld Soul Core passed exceedingly fast.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Half of the hundred thousand souls collected by Chu Xuan were gone.
The Netherworld Dao Foundation was gradually transforming towards the form of a smooth, round core.
Meanwhile, back at the Yinma Plain battlefield.
A figure, flying without aid, arrived above the battlefield.
Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators needed magic tools to fly.
Only those at the Golden Core level and above could fly unaided.
The demonic cultivators below, upon seeing this figure, were immediately shocked and hurriedly fled.
A Golden Core powerhouse had arrived, and whether for good or ill, fleeing was the best response!
If it was a righteous powerhouse, they would surely annihilate these demonic cultivators.
If it was a demonic grandmaster, the outcome could be even worse, perhaps casually using them to make blood pills or soul pills.
"Hmph."
A cold snort resonated from the sky, sounding like thunder.
In an instant, all the fleeing demonic cultivators exploded into a mist of blood.
