The Spirit Tracking Art is used to track other cultivators by sensing the spiritual power they have left behind. Earlier, they had all left their own spiritual imprints, and Zhang Ling determined the location of others by using this technique to sense them.
He had tested this method not long ago, but in this fog, perhaps because his divine sense was greatly suppressed, this method had no effect whatsoever.
But now he has thought of another secret technique, the 'Blood Soul Spirit Tracking Art'.
This secret technique is derived from the Spirit Tracking Art and is specifically used to track other cultivators.
Zhang Ling only saw this technique while studying the 'Netherworld King's Manual'. This complete manual contains many secret techniques. Although he cannot cultivate most of them, he can still perform some spells.
After stopping, Zhang Ling familiarized himself with the application method of this technique in his mind. Performing this technique requires the blood of others, which he naturally does not have now.
However, he can also perform this technique in the air, although the effect is no longer tracking others, but rather a spell inclined towards investigation.
This is also the reason why he looked at the Corpse Bear.
The Corpse Bear is a type of monster belonging to the zombie category, formed by the spiritual awakening of a corpse. This type of monster belongs to the category of demons and ghosts and is very sensitive to the aura of vitality and blood.
The 'Blood Soul Spirit Tracking Art' is not a righteous secret technique in the first place, and the condition for its application is to use the blood of cultivators as a guide.
Performing this technique directly, the principle is to use the aura and blood of living people to detect the surrounding living creatures, and also to prevent hidden cultivators from attacking.
Thinking of this technique, Zhang Ling no longer hesitated and began to form hand seals. After a few breaths, he completed the hand seals.
This secret technique is only different in the operation of spiritual power, and it is not complicated in itself.
He saw Zhang Ling use a few strands of yellow spiritual power and strike the Corpse Bear with a special handprint.
The Corpse Bear howled, and a cloud of gray-white corpse gas emerged from its body. Then, the Corpse Bear's eyes flashed with a bloody light, and the corpse gas emanating from its body suddenly exploded, turning into strands of gray-white threads, scattering in all directions.
Relying on the divine sense left in the Corpse Bear's consciousness, he used the Corpse Bear's corpse gas to sense the surrounding movements.
The corpse gas soon floated in the space within a range of fifty or sixty zhang. Within this range, as long as there are living creatures, the Corpse Bear can sense them.
Zhang Ling himself can also perform this technique, but the Corpse Bear is more sensitive to the aura of living beings, making it easier to perform and the effect is also very obvious.
Using the Corpse Bear's corpse gas to explore the surrounding environment, Zhang Ling indeed observed that there were many auras of Iridescent Mussels hidden in the surrounding coral reefs.
Thinking of performing this technique, Zhang Ling was also holding a try-it-out mentality, not really wanting to find other people. The purpose was actually just to explore the surroundings to prevent other cultivators and sea beasts from attacking.
Now the situation here is special, and it is difficult to guarantee that anyone encountered will be of sound mind. It is better to leave this place as soon as possible.
In this way, Zhang Ling used the Corpse Bear to clear the way, carefully traveling through the coral reefs, avoiding places with a large number of Iridescent Mussels.
He proceeded along a winding path, and the surrounding environment and scenery were constantly changing.
Sometimes it changed into a clear and cloudless sea, and sometimes it was stormy. However, with the Corpse Bear clearing the way, in Zhang Ling's perception, the surroundings were still a coral island, without any changes.
After proceeding for another distance, the heavy fog in front of him continued to condense and dissipate.
At this time, Zhang Ling saw what appeared to be a building in the fog, and could not help but quicken his pace, while taking out a Water Spirit Shield talisman and patting it on his body.
After taking a few more steps, he walked onto an open-air stone corridor. Under his feet were stone steps paved with blue and white jade, and the corridor as a whole looked very ancient.
Zhang Ling had the Corpse Bear carefully sense it, and then frowned. He walked to a stone pillar and knocked on the bead, and there were two muffled sounds.
"It's real."
Looking at the endless corridor, Zhang Ling walked up step by step carefully. Under the perception of his divine sense and the Corpse Bear's corpse gas, the surrounding environment was real.
This was somewhat beyond his expectations, but in order to find a way out, Zhang Ling decided to explore it.
The corridor as a whole was made of stone. Since it was real and not an illusion, then this place could be inhabited by other cultivators, or it could be an ancient cultivator's ruins.
Zhang Ling guessed in his heart, walking in the stone corridor, he could still hear bursts of stream sounds in his ears.
Both sides of the corridor were very empty, with many tall coral stones, on which grew some seaweed and other marine plants.
From time to time, several small streams of seawater flowed over the coral stones, in which some fish and beasts, like ordinary mountain valleys, swam happily.
Zhang Ling sensed it, and then snorted coldly. Although the surrounding environment was real, none of the fish and beasts were real.
Under the Corpse Bear's perception, some Iridescent Mussels were hidden in the water under the coral stone, and those living things were all transformed from them.
Besides the sound of the stream, he could also hear bursts of fairy music, which, combined with the surrounding environment, was quite unique, as if he were in a fairyland.
Zhang Ling coldly observed the surrounding environment, and the fairy music in his ears became louder and louder, making his head a little dizzy. However, he walked forward without hesitation, as if he did not hear these sounds.
While Zhang Ling was walking, he was not doing nothing. He silently operated the Nameless Soul Refining Art to keep his divine sense clear, while vigilantly following behind the Corpse Bear.
After going deep into the corridor, Zhang Ling saw the end of the corridor. In the mist in front of him, there was a black and tall shadow. After careful sensing, it turned out to be a black stone wall, with some dark stone caves below it, not knowing where they led.
Zhang Ling released his divine sense and invaded several of the stone caves to check, and there was no danger. He walked along the elder towards a stone cave at the end.
Although he walked slowly, after a dozen breaths, Zhang Ling still walked to the front of the stone cave.
He stopped first, and the flying sword in his hand shook, and two sword shadows flashed, striking next to the stone cave. Suddenly, the earth and stones cracked, and many stones fell.
"It seems that I was thinking too much."
Zhang Ling then checked the nearby stone caves, which were all real. He also let go of his heart and walked into the stone cave leading to the elder.
Entering it, it was a little dim. Zhang Ling raised his hand, and a moonstone flew to the front, emitting a layer of soft white light, illuminating a place.
The Corpse Bear cleared the way, and he followed behind.
The space in the stone cave was very large, two or three zhang long in all directions, and it seemed to be formed naturally.
Whether it was under his feet or the surrounding stone walls, they were not ordinary stones, and there were dense holes on them. This was a whole piece of huge coral stone, which looked no less than the size of a small mountain.
After proceeding for twenty or thirty zhang, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a girl in the place illuminated by the moonstone. She was wearing light gauze, with a tall figure, twisting her delicate body and dancing.
The sudden appearance of the girl made Zhang Ling stunned, and he could not help but take a few more glances.
