Chapter 608 - 188: Death Qi
"No need, I enjoy wild fishing." Chen Yan waved goodbye and drove home.
However, halfway through, while passing a melon field with farmers selling watermelons by the roadside, he stopped to buy a few.
Finding a secluded spot, Chen Yan parked the car. Only after ensuring there were no surveillance cameras around did he take out the oilcloth-wrapped "Nether Artifact."
Utilizing the Celestial Eye Qi Observation Skill, combined with the calculation of fortune, that wisp of Death Qi swirled around. Chen Yan’s eyes focused blankly as he gazed towards the northwest.
Under the Qi Observation Skill, that thin swirl of Death Qi seemed to vaguely point in that direction.
After packing his things, Chen Yan transformed into a sparrow and flew away!
Moments later, he arrived at the foot of a hill — in the southern region, such hilly terrains are as common as mustard seeds, the one before him was probably around 180 meters high.
Following that wisp of Death Qi, Chen Yan walked into the mountain.
Opening the Celestial Eye along the way, tracing the source of the Death Qi, it wasn’t long before he found himself under a mountainside ravine.
A stream flowed ahead, backed by woods.
In terms of Feng Shui, it was a good shadowy residence.
Yet looking around, there were no visible tombs or ancient houses, just that wisp of lingering Death Qi, tied within the ravine, swaying, as if sourced from here!
Chen Yan recalled the Feng Shui techniques he learned. After observing for a moment, he walked to the center, took a deep breath, gathered Primordial Qi at his chest, extended his left foot, and stomped heavily on the ground!
With this stomp, the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth responded, causing the Qi to disperse!
Chen Yan’s heart tightened! With the dispersal of the Qi, the seemingly lush hillside ravine revealed a dense Death Qi!
But this Death Qi was extremely strange. Though dense, it never dispersed, seemingly confined tightly within the mountain by some force.
Over time, it was covered by the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth. If Chen Yan hadn’t known Spells to shake the Qi away, it might never have been exposed.
"What a technique." Chen Yan smiled, "It’s actually a hidden residence!"
No epitaph, no shadowy house, concealing the tomb within the mountain, called a hidden residence!
Chen Yan stared at a spot, slowly walked over, and brushed his hand lightly on the mountain wall. As chunks of stone and soil peeled away, an oval-shaped robbers’ hole quickly appeared.
Chen Yan grunted, slapped a Fortune-Telling Talisman and a Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman on himself, and squeezed into the robbers’ hole.
The robbers’ hole was not wide, but after just over ten steps inside, he saw a section of the hidden residence’s ancient tomb wall had been excavated.
The interior of the tomb chamber was pitch black!
The overwhelming Death Qi hit Chen Yan, whose Spiritual Sense was sharp, immediately creating a strong suffocating sensation!
This Death Qi, ordinary people cannot sense it, only feel the chill, but for cultivators, it’s like smelling a stench, attacking the Spiritual Sense, polluting one’s own Primordial Qi.
Without hesitation, Chen Yan grabbed two Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans and tossed them inside.
Immediately, two streams of golden flame blazed within the tomb chamber!
The Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman is most suppressive against evil and Death Qi, once ignited, it bursts into flames.
Quickly, the fire died down, the Death Qi in the tomb chamber dwindled, and there floated several bits of eerie green Ghost Fire!
Chen Yan brought a breath of Primordial Qi to his chest and belly, yet sealed his own Spiritual Sense, and slowly walked into the tomb chamber!
Once inside, Chen Yan’s gaze sharpened!
On the ground before him lay a corpse!
