Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 498: Chapter 247: Jiang Miaoyin

In front of Chu Xiu, there was a gigantic chasm. No, rather than a chasm, it was more like a heaven-sent rift that cleaved the entire world in half.

Chu Xiu felt like he was standing on the edge of a bottomless abyss, with the cold wind swirling up from below. Looking down, there was only swirling mist in the darkness.

A faint glow scattered from above, and Chu Xiu looked up to find a large, silver sun that was unbelievably massive, occupying nearly half the sky. The sunlight was not harsh; bathing in its rays did not bring warmth but rather a bone-chilling cold. It hung there, lonely, adding even more eeriness to this already desolate world.

”So this is the [Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace] world...”

A world shrouded in Yin Qi, devoid of life.

”Crack, crack.”

Chu Xiu moved his body slightly, and the abundant blood energy immediately dispelled the coldness.

Behind him, the Garuda’s Wings flapped, and with just a flicker, he soared thousands of meters into the sky.

The air here was even colder. Chu Xiu squinted his eyes to look into the distance and quickly discovered a peculiar cluster of buildings.

It was a space clearly dug out by human hands, dotted with smooth hemispheres made of some unknown metal, reflecting a cool, shimmering light.

”This must be the ’power station’ of the [Exorcist Civilization].”

Chu Xiu recalled the information about the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace world in his mind.

The entire energy source of this world is Yin Qi, and even the ”sunlight” from the dome is infusing Yin Qi.

Therefore, the sun in this world is actually referred to as ”Taiyin.”

These metallic hemispheres, however, have a unique structure that can absorb Yin Qi and convert it into energy similar to electricity.

This energy is like the fountain of life, nourishing all aspects of the Exorcist Civilization, from the city’s lighting systems to the power sources for transportation, and even the energy supply for advanced weapon equipment. All rely on these magical devices for support.

The closely packed areas of these devices are akin to ’power plants,’ and that power plant in the distance is where the previous awakening trial took place.

The initial positions of descent using the [Anchor Point] are generally within ten kilometers of the original location.

With a slight thought, Chu Xiu flapped his wings again and flew towards that ”power plant.”

In just a matter of seconds, he was flying directly above this cluster of buildings. Looking down, he didn’t see a single figure, but traces of battle were everywhere.

”Most of the newcomers who participated in the awakening trial have returned to Blue Star. Those still in this world are the strong ones who entered later through the [Anchor Point].”

This time the [Anchor Point] totaled only thirteen, meaning there were at most thirteen competitors, and presumably enough resources for Chu Xiu to offer sacrifices to the Thousand Souls Banner.

While he was pondering this, suddenly, a graceful figure flew up from below.

Chu Xiu looked up to see a slender-waisted, curvaceous beauty. She was wearing a fitted dark green qipao, her voluptuous figure elegantly outlined. From the side split, a glimpse of her snow-white calf was faintly visible.

The woman approached Chu Xiu and slightly bowed, her slender waist forming a perfect arc: ”My name is Jiang Miaoyin. Greetings to the senior.”

The woman before him was extremely beautiful. When she spoke, her almond-shaped eyes were smilingly fixed on Chu Xiu, with what looked like ripples flowing within, instinctively arousing tender feelings.

It must be said, the woman before him was the most enchanting woman Chu Xiu had seen since he crossed over, with every gesture containing an alluring charm.

If it were another eighteen-year-old boy, his blood might have already been boiling, leaving him at a loss. But it was her misfortune to encounter Chu Xiu, who merely nodded slightly: ”Speak, what brings you to seek me out?”

”Let me say this upfront, I can only offer some assistance within my capacity, so don’t assume a mere hundred billion can command me.”

This woman standing before him was the junior the Song Family’s Heroic Spirit had entrusted to Chu Xiu at the auction earlier.

The Song Family and Jiang Family have always gotten along well. The junior from the Song Family has already left for exploration, while this Jiang Family woman just entered a day ago and was gathering intelligence nearby, waiting to act with Chu Xiu.

It is said that this woman, whether in profession or talent, has surpassed SS. She can bind spirits, turning them into Curse Spirits for command, not only able to perform powerful Forbidden Techniques but also use them for formation or puppet control. Not yet thirty years old, she has become one of the Jiang Family’s most promising figures to pursue becoming a Heroic Spirit.

The two most talented young individuals of the Jiang Family’s current generation are her and the newly appointed Civilization Envoy.

After discreetly observing Chu Xiu for a while, Jiang Miaoyin also realized that the person before her was extraordinarily strong-willed and uninterested in her charms. She then restrained her allure and said solemnly: ”I have important business to discuss with you, senior.”

”Did you bring the artifact for detecting Yin Qi this time, senior?”

Jiang Miaoyin’s words made Chu Xiu slightly furrow his eyebrows.

The Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace world is full of ghosts, but the world is vast!

If one searches aimlessly like a headless fly, one might not find many ghosts even after a month.

Furthermore, these wandering ghosts usually have very low levels and are of little use even if found.

To capture a large number of ghosts at once, you must locate a ghost ”nest,” which is a place where Yin Qi gathers.

”Although generally speaking, the Yin Qi gathers at the lowest level, aside from the central giant pit, the ’furnace wall’ on the outer side also has extremely complex geological structures, where Yin Qi gathering spots exist, drawing nearby Yin Qi to this area.”
