Chapter 231: Blood Sea Sect (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking closely, the terrain on the map was complicated. Dense tunnels crisscrossed each other. Without the map in hand, it was indeed easy to lose his bearings.
There were more than ten places marked with red dots on the map, indicating that there were many spiritual monsters there and that they were dangerous.
Any other cultivators who entered the spirit cave would definitely stay away from those places.
But Lin Shen was different.
Apart from cultivating, his other goal in entering the spirit cave was to hunt Earth Essences to collect spirit dust and use his Testify by Killing talent to increase his strength.
Therefore, these dangerous places on the map that others avoided like the plague were spots for Lin Shen to gain experience and collect resources.
“I’ll take a look at these places first. If I can find a secluded place suitable for cultivation on the way, it’ll be even more convenient.”
After taking a few more glances, Lin Shen put away the map and flew toward the nearest gathering point of the spiritual monsters marked on the map.
After flying for about half an hour, Lin Shen estimated that he was about to reach his destination. Just as he was about to summon his clones to search for traces of the spirit monsters, he suddenly heard a low roar.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that there was a fog a hundred meters ahead. It was white, and he could vaguely see several black shadows flashing inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Shen immediately gathered his spiritual essence in his eyes to see the true forms of the black shadows in the fog.
They were all grayish-white spirits that looked a little similar to stone lions but had the heads of ferocious and ugly evil spirits!
“Earth Essence!”
Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.
The appearance of the demons in front of him was exactly the same as the description of the Earth Essence he had seen in the jade tube. Clearly, they were the legendary Earth Essence.
Lin Shen didn’t expect himself to be so lucky. Not long after entering the spirit cave, he met his main target. He immediately drew his sword and rushed forward without hesitation.
Earth Essence was violent and fierce. When they saw that their prey actually dared to take the initiative to attack them, they were furious and immediately roared as it pounced out of the fog.
For the sake of improving his Cloud Dragon Rhythm and Nine Divine Sun Sword, Lin Shen didn’t use any spells or other martial arts techniques. He only used his new movement techniques and sword techniques to deal with the enemy.
Even so, with his Level-8 Bright Aperture Stage cultivation and the Pure Yang Talisman Sword’s astonishing might, he still easily gained the upper hand.
The four Earth Essences weren’t strong. They were about as strong as a demon at the middle phase of the Enlightening Stage.
In less than half an hour, Lin Shen had killed all four Earth Essences.
After falling to the ground and dying, the four Earth Essences quickly turned into clouds and drifted away, leaving only a small handful of light green powder on the spot.
Lin Shen pinched a small handful and looked at it for a moment. There was a smile on his lips.
That was the spiritual dust he was looking for!
After carefully putting the spirit dust into the jade bottle he had prepared, Lin Shen continued forward.
There weren’t many opportunities to enter the spirit cave. He wanted to take this opportunity to collect as much spirit dust as possible so that he could refine Cast Spirit Pills when he returned.
As he went deeper, more and more Earth Essences appeared along the way. Their strength also became stronger and stronger, and Earth Essences in the late phase of the Enlightening Stage gradually appeared.
However, to Lin Shen, there was no difference. He would just spend more effort to kill them.
After walking for a while, Lin Shen discovered a relatively quiet cave, so he simply summoned his clones and let them take turns guarding and cultivating in the cave.
As for him and his Testify by Killing clone, they used the cave as the center point and searched in different directions, hunting Earth Essences along the way.
After advancing to the seventh level of the Bright Aperture Stage, the zero consumption distance of the clones had increased to about 1,500 meters.
This distance was nothing in the vast spirit cave.
However, there was an advantage to having a spirit cave. The spiritual essence was active and abundant. Even if his spiritual essence was on the verge of running out, Lin Shen only needed to circulate the Nine Yang Scripture for a moment to replenish more than half of it. He didn’t have to worry about the consumption of his clones at all.
Under such circumstances, it didn’t matter even if he and his clones were a little far apart.
As he cultivated, he hunted Earth Essences and collected spirit dust. Just like that, Lin Shen immersed himself in cultivation and battle. Before he knew it, ten days had passed.
The vast area he was in was indeed a dangerous place marked on the map. There were unexpectedly many Earth Essences.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn ten days, five to six hundred Earth Essences had died under his and his clone’s hands.
It was only then that Lin Shen clearly felt the Earth Essence in this area began to thin out.
After returning to the cave where his clones were cultivating, Lin Shen summoned the interface. A heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
He had gained a lot in the past ten days.
Not only had he successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Bright Aperture Stage, but his Cloud Dragon Rhythm and Nine Divine Sun Sword had also made significant progress.

[Talent: Testify by Killing]
[Stage: Eighth level of Bright Aperture, 45%]

[Number of clones: 7 (22%)]
“No wonder so many cultivators flock to the spirit cave. This is indeed a cultivation treasure land!”
Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.
In just ten days, he had broken through a stage. There were still twenty days left. It was more than enough to reach 100% of the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage.
He had improved so quickly because of his clones..
