Chapter 240: Humanoid Ghosts

methods he practiced were attribute-less, primarily relying on water element spiritual energy. Furthermore, he didn't need the Cleansing Dew Pill to break through his limits.Therefore, Lan Lu Dun had...Qin Sang had long been on guard. The moment Dai Yue shouted a warning, the Wumu Sword and Tian Du Sha exposed the presence hidden in the shadows.

A sword light suddenly pierced through this place, a strange scream sounded. Where the sword light passed, there appeared an illusory human shadow, pierced by the ebony sword, trembling violently, and then shattered into a ball of flames.

> As expected, a Fire Spirit Beast is lurking!

However, they were not visible to the naked eye like firebirds or flying monkeys. They were like ghosts, very elusive. If it hadn't been for the poisonous miasma, Qin Sang and Yu Da Yue wouldn't have noticed them at all before.

The next moment, a gust of wind arose in the mist before them, and countless ghostly figures slowly appeared, blocking their path. Their eyes glared at them with hatred. Because these ghostly figures had features more like humans, they looked even more terrifying than the flying monkeys.

Whoosh! Whoosh!...

In the blink of an eye, countless ghostly figures rushed towards them. Yu Daoyue waved his arm and threw out a black magic umbrella. The umbrella's light burst forth, instantly opening into a giant black shield that stood in front of them.

To everyone's astonishment, those humanoid ghosts were completely undefended and effortlessly passed through the Xuan Umbrella's barrier!

"Oh no!"

Yu Da Yue was shocked, "They can ignore defensive magical artifacts!"

"Charge through!"

Seeing that the Xuan Umbrella of Taiyue was useless, Qin Sang also abandoned the idea of summoning a defensive artifact. With his Wu Mu Sword leading the way, his figure darted forward with speed. Based on his previous experience, in this situation, the best course of action was to charge headlong and never get caught in an encirclement.

Though humanoid ghosts possess eerie abilities, they are more fragile than firebirds and can rely on offense instead of defense.

However, after a period of advancing, they still fell into an endless siege.

Yu Da Yue had seemingly exhausted all his means, roaring incessantly, yet was helpless. The two moved slower and slower.

Qin Sang saw the situation and had to take out the jade Ruyi talisman, solemnly saying, "Shixiong Yu, help me protect the dharma..."

Suddenly, darkness engulfed Qin Sang's vision. He felt a lightness in his body, followed by a sudden heaviness as his feet landed firmly on the ground. When he opened his eyes again, the dense fog had vanished, replaced by an incredibly bright space before him.

This must be the ancient fairy's residence, right

Finally passing the test, Qin Sang secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He stood under a massive shadow, instinctively scanning his surroundings with wary eyes, then tilted his head upwards to stare intently at the unusually tall stone tablet for a long time.

Like the ancient stele at the entrance, this one was also jet black throughout, bearing the mottled scars of time. However, there were no inscriptions or patterns on it whatsoever. It offered no clues from which to speculate about the origins of this ancient fairy abode.

Qin Sang sensed the lingering traces of several breaths. It seemed that there were quite a few people who had entered the ancient fairy mansion before them. Some seemed to have taken a moment to rest under the stone tablet, but now there was not a single figure in sight.

There were no signs of danger, the manor was very quiet, not occupied by powerful monsters, and most fortunately, there were no fire elementals everywhere.

Qin Sang's mind finally relaxed a little, and she looked out.

The sky was clear with no clouds, and there was almost no fog to obstruct the view. As far as the eye could see, they still couldn't find the boundaries of the ancient Xiu Residence. It was much larger than they had imagined.

The mountains stretched endlessly, rising and falling in waves. Qin Sang could vaguely see the outlines of houses and halls on some peaks. He also spotted a streak of light shoot out from a stone temple and vanish into the depths of the mountains.

This was someone who arrived before them, it is unknown how many treasures this person collected.

This space doesn't seem like a simple ancient cultivator's residence, but rather the entrance to an old sect or a gathering place for many ancient cultivators.

The stone stele seemed to be the center of the entire space. In all directions, there was an endless expanse. However, in the far west were four towering peaks that resembled celestial pillars, piercing the clouds. They were the most prominent and unique features of the ancestral home, a clear and unmistakable landmark.

That place is most likely the core restricted area of the ancient immortal's abode!

Four very similar mountain peaks, the real ancient cultivator's cave dwelling might only be on one of them, the others are used to mislead. This kind of tomb-like arrangement is not uncommon.

Of course, it's also possible that all four mountains are there, but they are too far away to see anything on them from the outside.

That kind of place wasn't somewhere Foundation Establishment cultivators like them could just barge into. Qin Sang merely speculated about it in his heart before retracting his gaze and deciding not to risk going there himself.

Qin Sang was more concerned about what he could do. He noticed that the temperature in the ancestral home was much higher than he had imagined, extremely hot, making it difficult for ordinary people to live in such an environment.

He sniffed, catching a peculiar and pungent odor that made him wrinkle his nose. He noticed that the plants in the old mansion were also rather unusual.

All that met the eye were ordinary trees and grasses. Trees of all heights formed patches of primitive forests. Some reached high into the mountains, while others stood low like shrubs. In addition to the endless expanse of barren grass, everything was equally withered, lacking even a hint of green. Everything was a dull yellow.

A gentle breeze rustled the withered grass, creating a mournful sound that underscored the desolate scene.

Although contorted and with cracked bark, they appear to have no life at all, these plants nevertheless stubbornly survive, adorning the dilapidated mansion with a carpet of withered yellow.

Is it because magma flows underground that creates this kind of scene

Qin Sang secretly thought.

During his ordeal, he witnessed firsthand the might of the lava river. The ancestral home's underground was likely an endless sea of magma, flowing into that river and then being separated into two spaces by a barrier inscribed on stone tablets.

This lava river will flow continuously outside of the ancient fairy's mansion, connecting to reality, but it is unknown where in reality it connects.

After all, so-called secret realms and ancestral mansions are actually spaces that exist in reality, sealed off by powerful cultivators using formations or restrictions. They serve as hidden retreats, not newly created small worlds out of thin air.

That kind of magical power to create a small thousand world only exists in legends.

They found the entrance to the tomb here, which only means the owner of the tomb placed it here. The true location of the tomb could be right where they are standing, or somewhere else entirely.

Qin Sang was deep in thought when Yu Daiyue was also looking around, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if considering which direction to go. Besides the West, it seemed that the other three directions were almost the same.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Da Yue turned to Qin Sang and said, "Qin Shixiong, which direction will you go Shall we continue our journey together in search of treasure"

Qin Sang and Yu Da Yue were somewhat far apart. Qin Sang gently shook his head and said, "Brother Yu, my spiritual energy is greatly depleted. This place is relatively safe, and I want to recover my Qi Hai before taking action again. Don't worry about me."

To get past the blockade of the humanoid ghosts, Qin Sang used a Jade Ruyi talisman.

A seemingly peaceful ancestral home could very well harbor hidden dangers, and he didn't want to rashly barge in under these circumstances.ve any other text you'd like me to translate!The Cloud Wanderer's body was enveloped in a deathly stillness, his aura completely imperceptible!Qin Sang's eyes narrowed, and he was about to rush forwar...
