Chapter 40

Seeing the woman before him, Zhu Ganglie's mind quickly flashed with her identity.

This woman was known as Lady White Bone, a skeleton that had gained consciousness and became a demon, cultivating to the point of being able to possess a body.

Zhu Ganglie did not dare to be careless at the moment, and in a hoarse voice, he pretended to be the ghost cultivator, saying, "No, someone was guarding, and I was injured."

"Then why did the Divine Lightning Dao disciples all leave, leaving behind only a disciple at the Manifestation stage? With your cultivation, could you still be injured?"

Lady White Bone's face darkened slightly, her tone tinged with disbelief and a hint of worry. She had accidentally overheard that a Divine Lightning Dao disciple was enshrining a deity here and decided to take the risk to steal the cultivation techniques from the disciple's mind, even teaming up with a powerful ghost cultivator. She did not expect that with such a high chance of success, she would still be thwarted.

Anxiety welled up in her heart. The Qingqiu Kingdom was under the protection of the Divine Lightning Dao. If this disciple reported to the Divine Lightning Dao and more powerful disciples were sent, she would be in grave danger.

Her eyes flashed with a fierce look, and she directly said to the ghost cultivator beside her, "We will immediately turn back and kill that disciple, then take the cultivation techniques and divine soul."

As she spoke, Lady White Bone was about to leave, but at that moment, a strong killing intent flashed in Zhu Ganglie's eyes.

A circle of Buddhist light appeared in his mind, and a huge vajra immediately manifested, carrying immense force as it smashed down.

"Ah?"

As the fierce wind rushed towards her, Lady White Bone let out a cry of surprise, her hands overlapping in front of her, colliding fiercely with the vajra. A crack sounded.

Before she could react, a ruler appeared out of nowhere, smashing her wrist and shattering it. Nine flames of Doushuai Fire rose up, directly burning Lady White Bone.

"Ha!"

At this moment, Zhu Ganglie let out a light shout, his gourd's power merging into the sword pill, transforming into a fine and condensed beam of golden light. It circled around Lady White Bone, severing her body.

One half was burned to ashes by the Doushuai Fire, the other half fell to the ground.

Just as Zhu Ganglie was about to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to shatter the remaining half, the other half suddenly emitted a white glow, quickly transforming into Lady White Bone's form and fleeing into the depths of the cave.

"Monster, don't run!"

Zhu Ganglie dared not let this powerful demon escape. The sword pill enveloped him, transforming into a streak of light and quickly chasing after her.

The speed of the sword light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up to the fleeing Lady White Bone.

Just as Zhu Ganglie was about to catch up, Lady White Bone suddenly turned around, her eyes revealing a cunning look. She spat out a purple talisman, and instantly, a tangible wave of water surged out, fiercely colliding with Zhu Ganglie.

And Lady White Bone disappeared.

Zhu Ganglie's expression changed, and he tried to retract the sword light, but the intangible water wave was extremely fast, instantly reaching him and colliding with his body, a powerful force slamming into him.

"Bad!"

Feeling this immense force, Zhu Ganglie's face changed. The sword light turned back, and he tried to hide in the Enshrinement Tower to resist the force.

At this moment, the Kunlun Mirror, which had condensed into a point of light around his divine soul, gently trembled, and the immense force disappeared. He found himself in a space.

Upon entering this space, Zhu Ganglie's expression suddenly changed. He saw a young woman in a purple Daoist robe sitting quietly on a stone platform, exuding a strong aura.

"Yuan Shen?"

Feeling the aura emanating from the woman in the purple robe, Zhu Ganglie instantly thought of the aura of his master, Bingpo Daoist, and his expression changed drastically. He almost ran, but a vast power directly locked onto him.

"Surprisingly, a Qi Cultivator has intruded here, which is quite unexpected."

Just as Zhu Ganglie was about to run, the woman spoke calmly and gently.

But Zhu Ganglie did not dare to be the least bit careless or have any illusions. He said cautiously, "I am a disciple of the Divine Lightning Dao. I accidentally intruded here while chasing a demon. Please do not blame me, Senior!"

"Divine Lightning Dao? It is also your fortune. Do not be afraid. This is one of my avatars. My true body fell three ten thousand years ago."

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie did not relax at all. This was someone else's avatar. He became cautious, fearing that the woman might have some secret technique like soul possession.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's cautious and guarded demeanor, the woman smiled gently, "I am called Linglong Fairy. I fell in the outer realms three ten thousand years ago.

This avatar is formed from the purple mist of heaven and earth. Because of the nature of the purple mist, which can gather and disperse, I managed to escape my enemies' pursuit, but I was also severely injured.

I have been here for three ten thousand years. The time is too long, and without the nourishment of heaven and earth's qi, this avatar is about to collapse.

Without any power to do anything, I met you before my death, which is our karmic connection.

The White Bone outside was originally refined by me using a secret technique, intended to merge with this avatar and cultivate again. However, I was too hasty, and a mistake in cultivation caused it to gain consciousness.

Although this avatar is collapsing, it still contains the purple mist of heaven and earth, which can be refined into a powerful magical tool for you.

But I have a favor to ask of you!"

As she spoke, Linglong Fairy's eyes fixed on Zhu Ganglie, making him slightly tense. He thought to himself that this was not a favor at all. Now, he was at her mercy, and he might not be able to refuse.

He clasped his hands and said, "I do not know what favor you have, but if I can manage it, I will certainly complete it!"

"You sly boy, I won't ask you to do anything major. In my purple mist avatar, there is a talisman formed from my innate power. You need to deliver it to the Linglong Blessed Land in the Great Wasteland."

As Linglong Fairy spoke, Zhu Ganglie's mind raced. He knew the Great Wasteland, which was millions of miles away from here, and it contained the Great Wasteland Sect, a first-class sect on par with the Divine Lightning Dao. However, he did not know the Linglong Blessed Land.

Seemingly seeing Zhu Ganglie's expression, Linglong Fairy slowly said, "You will know the Linglong Blessed Land when you reach the Great Wasteland. However, you must reach the Body Possession stage before you can go there."

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was to go there only after reaching the Body Possession stage, he did not need to worry too much and could make some plans.

At this moment, Linglong Fairy lightly tapped her hand, and a talisman composed of countless purple runes fell into Zhu Ganglie's hand.

"Rest assured, I will definitely deliver this talisman to the Linglong Blessed Land!"

"When you deliver it to the Linglong Blessed Land, my sect will gift you a magical tool!"

As Zhu Ganglie spoke, the purple mist avatar slowly said, and the entire mist began to dissipate visibly.

A moment later, the entire space was filled with purple mist, creating a dreamlike scene.

At the place where the purple mist avatar had disintegrated, a purple mist essence appeared, resembling a purple thread or a slightly longer wick when examined closely.

Seeing the essence left by the purple mist avatar, Zhu Ganglie's eyes lit up. If he focused on refining it, he could obtain a powerful magical tool, and there was even a chance to refine it into a ninth-level magical tool or even a magical treasure before reaching the Yuan Shen stage.

"Ninth-level magical tool? Wick?"

Zhu Ganglie's mind raced, and his face lit up with joy. He quickly took out the Qingyang Ancient Lamp, which had nine levels of restrictions and immense power.

However, it lacked a wick and was difficult to light. Using Buddhist power to activate it did not yield much power, which was why the ascetic monk who had this ninth-level restricted treasure died.

Now that he had enlightened to the Buddhist eye and possessed Buddhist power, he could refine the purple mist essence into the wick of the Qingyang Ancient Lamp. This way, he might have a ninth-level restricted magical tool.

To know that such a magical tool was just one step away from becoming a magical treasure, even a celestial being would be tempted.

With this thought, he tapped his hand, and the purple mist essence entered the Qingyang Ancient Lamp. He immediately began to refine it.

After a day and a night, the purple glow of the Qingyang Ancient Lamp faded, transforming into an ancient and unadorned lamp. The previously empty lamp now had a purple wick.

Zhu Ganglie used a bit of Buddhist power, and the Qingyang Ancient Lamp emitted a layer of purple-golden light, forming a purple-golden shield.

"It has become a defensive magical treasure, but unfortunately, the lamp's power has not been fully unleashed!"

After a brief test, Zhu Ganglie sighed. The purple-golden light emitted by the Qingyang Ancient Lamp was mainly the power of the wick, using only a part of the lamp's power.

He put away the Qingyang Ancient Lamp and looked at the mist filling the entire space, sighing lightly, "I will deliver this talisman to the Linglong Blessed Land in the Great Wasteland."

As for the promised magical treasure, Zhu Ganglie did not dare to have any expectations. A magical treasure was extremely rare in the Divine Lightning Dao, and no sect would casually gift it to someone.

As the mist danced, the entire space slowly disintegrated. Zhu Ganglie stepped out and saw the White Bone looking around. He coldly shouted, and the Tianxing Sword Pill transformed into a golden sphere, rushing towards the White Bone's face.
