<h4>Chapter 849: The Obsidian Pce</h4>
The Soul Summoning Ghost Mother''s Soul Altar was heavily damaged, White Bone Demon Monarch''s blood was sucked out, and Ji Qingpeng hurriedly left the Ruined Lands after being wounded, Luo Han had fled as well…
Their plot against Qin Lie, Jiang Zhuzhe, the Evil Infant Boy and the evil dragons had failed.
Situation was simr over on Dark Wind Ind, resulting in Gu Tuo, Chi Yan and the others hurriedly fleeing the Ruined Lands when they were at a disadvantage.
Qin Lie and the others took over Gu Tuo, Chi Yan, and Soul Summoning Ghost Mother''s inds.
This enormous change in the Ruined Lands shocked many of the evil spirits and foreign races of the Ruined Lands. After this battle, many people realized that Qin Lie, Jiang Zhuzhe, Evil Infant Boy, Forefather Dark Wind, the Seven Eyed Monster, and the fourteen evil dragons formed an alliance.
This alliance had extremely strong power within the Ruined Lands that almost surpassed "that person."
In the following days, Qin Lie, Evil Infant Boy, and Forefather Dark Wind as well as the fourteen evil dragons swept the White Bone Demon Monarch, Soul Summoning Ghost Mother, Chi Yan and Gu Tuo''s subordinates.
Soul Summoning Ind and the two inds that Chi Yan and Gu Tuo ruled were divided up.
Soul Summoning Ind became one of ming Sun Ind''s subordinatends. The Dragonman Race and Lizard Race’s ind that Chi Yan and Gu Tuo held were taken over by Jiang Zhuzhe.
Many dayster.
Qin Lie, the Evil Infant Boy, Forefather Dark Wind, Lu Yi, the evil dragon Gilbert, as well as La Pu and the others gathered on Soul Summoning Ind.
"Senior Evil Infant, is this what you really want?"
Qin Lie looked directly at the Evil Infant Boy inside the vast and magnificent obsidian pce with a solemn expression.
At the side, Forefather Dark Wind, La Pu, and Gilbert were looking in shock at Evil Infant Boy.
"I will join ming Sun Ind as a foreign delegate, and teach all I know to Gray Ind. I will help Gray Ind''s artificers progress as fast as possible, without taking the long way around. They will be able to forge better spirit artifacts," The Evil Infant Boy said seriously.
"ming Sun Ind… is still small." Qin Lie exined.
"It is small now, but it does not mean it will stay that way in the future." The Evil Infant Boy''s expression was aloof. "In my opinion, only ming Sun Ind has hope of overtaking Celestial Artifact Sect in the Land of Chaos to be the strongest artificer force! If I can destroy Celestial Artifact Sect, I am willing to pay any price!"
Qin Lie looked deeply at him. A momentter, he nodded and said, "It can be arranged."
The Evil Infant Boy did not say anything else, and lowered his gaze.
"I will return to ming Sun Ind tomorrow to give my resignation to Miss Mo. Then, I will find Miss Song and join ming Sun Ind as an outer sect foreign delegate," Lu Yi added.
When the words were said, the other people on the ind had surprised expressions. They did not know why this elder of Blood Fiend Sect wanted to join ming Sun Ind.
Qin Lie had a rueful smile. "Uncle Lu, this really is not very good."
"I have made my decision." Lu Yi said coldly.
Qin Lie sighed. He didn''t know what to say. He only hoped that Mo Lingye and Xue Li would not be angry at this, and start hating him.
"Gilbert, what do you think about this Soul Summoning Ind?" Qin Lie changed the topic.
"It is alright, very suitable for us evil dragons to cultivate," Gilbert answered.
"Qin Lie, this Soul Summoning Ind is more suitable for me to cultivate on than Seven Eye Ind." La Pu thought and said, "I only need to move the Demon Cleansing Orchid of Seven Eye Ind here. Soon, I will create a ce suitable for me to cultivate. Compared to Seven Eye Ind, Soul Summoning Ind is five timesrger. I only need a small area."
After a pause, he said, "The closer to the center the inds of the Ruined Lands are, the bigger they are, and the more suitable for cultivation they are. After Ie over, we will have an easier timemunicating. Also, you only have Fulfillment Realm cultivation. It will be better if I am here."
The Seven Eye Ind that La Pu ruled was close to the inner region of the Ruined Lands but it was still on its outskirts.
Seven Eye Ind was smaller and inferior to Soul Summoning Ind in terms of area and spirit energy density.
Originally, La Pu did not qualify to reside in the inner region due to hisck of strength.
After the Soul Summoning Ghost Mother was defeated, and La Pu grew his eighth eye, he had enough confidence so he requested to stay at Soul Summoning Ind.
"This would be good!" Qin Lie naturally agreed.
For him, La Pu who had great knowledge about the bloodline of the ancient races was not only a mentor, but also his good friend.
He would need La Pu for many more things in the future. He naturally hoped that La Pu was around him so he could ask him about bloodline powers anytime.
Sitting on Soul Summoning Ind, the group discussed the movement of people and working together against enemies.
Evil Infant Boy was the first to leave, returning to Evil Infant Ind. Forefather Dark Wind left for his ind, and La Pu went to move his Demon Cleansing Orchid.
The evil dragon Gilbert took his evil dragons to find a suitable ce to recuperate on Soul Summoning Ind.
Qin Lie started to cultivate in the obsidian pce that the Soul Summoning Ghost Mother had built.
The reason he hadn''t returned to Frost Ind''s Celestial Ice Crystal mine to cultivate with Lin Liang''er was because he felt that he was just a step away from reaching thete stage of the Fulfillment Realm.
He thought that what he needed was soulprehension, and not umtion of spirit energy.
Late at night, the obsidian pce was like a pitch ck monster on top of Soul Summoning Ind exuding vast presence.
Qin Lie silently cultivated in therge hall at the center of the pce.
The obsidian pce had seven levels. It was a hundred meters tall and covered an extremely big area. The floor and the ceiling of each level were more than a dozen meters apart.
Qin Lie was cultivating on the fourth level.
There were three levels above him and three levels below.
"Ooo…"
As he focused on cultivating, he seemed to hear extremely soft and low cries echoing through the hard obsidian walls of the pce.
Those voices were ethereal. When he stopped cultivating and listened carefully, they didn''t seem to exist.
Yet when he started to cultivate again, the voices woulde out of nowhere and disturb his mind.
He felt it was slightly suspicious.
Therefore, he stopped cultivating, and walked out of this obsidian pce. He happened to stumble upon La Pu that came back after moving a batch of Demon Cleansing Orchid from Seven Eye Ind.
"Soft voices areing from inside the icy obsidian walls of the pce? You are sure?" La Pu asked in shock.
Qin Lie nodded and then asked, "Maybe the Soul Summoning Ghost Mother has left some wards and shields?"
"I''m not sure." La Pu frowned. Then he moved towards the obsidian pce with Qin Lie, talking as he walked, "The Soul Summoning Ghost Mother was not the one who built this seven-level obsidian pce. It used to be someone else’s."
"Oh?" Qin Lie''s curiosity was stirred.
"When I came to the Ruined Lands, this obsidian pce was already here. At that time, this ind was not called Soul Summoning Ind, but Crying Ghost Ind," La Pu exined.
"Later, the Soul Summoning Ghost Mother came from outside into the Ruined Lands. Because of her strength, she took over Crying Ghost Ind and renamed it Soul Summoning Ind. This is normal in the Ruined Lands. If one is strong enough, they can take over the inds of those weaker."
"I heard that this obsidian pce was here on this ind even thousands of years ago. It has never been destroyed."
"Generations of evil spirits who took over the ind liked this obsidian pce. Once they took over the ind, they would always choose the obsidian pce as their nest."
"I don''t know how many masters this obsidian pce had before the Soul Summoning Ghost Mother."
As La Pu spoke, the two stood in front of the obsidian pce. During nighttime, this pce was magnificent and vast, and gave people a feeling of destion.
"Let me take a close look."
A green light shot out of the eighth eye at La Pu''s belly and shone on this obsidian pce.
Under the green light, the ordinary obsidian walls showed curving patterns.
Those patterns curved like earthworms or snakes. As the green light shone, they seemed to wriggle.
They looked as though they were alive.
"Hm? What is this?" La Pu eximed in shock.
Afterwards, the prating light that came from his eighth eye suddenly went out.
Qin Lie looked dazedly at the wall. The restrained memories in his head seemed to have a corner torn open.
He suddenly had a headache.
"The eighth eye of the Ghost Eye Race can see through many disguises and reveal the ultimate truth of things," La Pu said. "There must be some wondrous boundary over these obsidian walls. It doesn’t let anyone see theplex patterns we just saw."
