As is the saying, a thief never leaves empty-handed. Ling Tian was overjoyed to see this large piece of Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul and immediately gave his orders to the Ice Soul Giant Bear.
The bear, now the size of a pug, instantly reverted to its original massive form. It then lay down on the large mass of Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul and began to scratch at it with its claws. The Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul, firmly frozen to the ground, was actually being chipped away.
Ling Tian unceremoniously accepted the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul. If thrown into the Treasure Gathering Basin within the Spirit Realm, these pieces of Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul could quickly replicate themselves.
This was a windfall for Ling Tian. Although he had obtained a lot of Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul on Hell Paradise Island previously, much of it had been used to construct formations, and the remainder had been absorbed by the Ice Soul Giant Bear.
The Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul Ling Tian currently possessed was not even as large as the piece before him. Furthermore, he dared not squander the little he had left, instead using it for replication in the Treasure Gathering Basin.
Every time the Treasure Gathering Basin replicated a bit of Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul, the Frost Giant Bear would unceremoniously absorb it. This unexpected windfall served as a good replenishment.
Ling Tian took out his compass again. He could sense that the concentration of spiritual energy in this cave was the highest. Clearly, the formation eye of this icy and snowy region was likely located within this cave.
Soon, Ling Tian discovered something. He began to direct the Ice Soul Giant Bear to dig over a dozen large pits in the cave and clear away the snow covering them.
Once all this was done, the black obsidian disc buried beneath was revealed.
Ling Tian then instructed the Ice Soul Giant Bear to dig out these black obsidian discs one by one and store them in the Spirit Realm.
In an instant, the spiritual energy in the entire area became chaotic, and the snow on the ground began to melt. Ling Tian quickly exited the cave, fearing he would be submerged by the melting snow.
Meanwhile, within the White Fox Palace, Abe no Oishi almost spat out a mouthful of blood again. He sensed that a significant portion of the Ghost Domain Barrier had been destroyed.
This portion was precisely the icy and snowy region, which meant that the dozen Snow Women and the Ice Snow Woman, whom an ordinary Yin-Yang Master could not control, had all perished.
"Baka, I will kill you!"
Abe no Oishi once again infused his magic power into the formation disc in his hand. At this moment, Ling Tian, who was holding his compass and searching for the formation eye of the entire Ghost Domain Barrier, suddenly found the scenery around him changing once more.
Immediately after, Ling Tian felt his feet go out from under him, and he plummeted from mid-air.
Ling Tian was greatly alarmed. In the pitch-black night, he had no idea what environment he was in. In a flash, several talismans appeared in Ling Tian's hand.
He injected his true essence into the talismans, activating the formations on them. A gust of strong wind erupted from these talismans.
Ling Tian, using the force of the wind sprayed from the talismans, managed to stabilize himself and hover in mid-air!
Halting his descent, Ling Tian released his spiritual power outwards. He quickly discovered that he was about ten meters above a body of water.
This body of water was vast, seemingly boundless. However, the surface was relatively calm, suggesting it was a lake rather than the sea.
It made sense. If a Ghost Domain Barrier contained an ocean, that space would be too terrifying, its area likely not inferior to the Spirit Realm.
Ling Tian then controlled the wind talismans in his hand, slowly descending. Just as he was about to fall into the water, a yacht over thirty meters long appeared beneath his feet, and Ling Tian slowly landed on it.
This yacht was prepared by Ling Tian during his trip to Hell Paradise Island. It didn't take up much space, and since the entire Spirit Realm had become Ling Tian's storage space, he had accumulated a considerable amount of various equipment, ready for any unforeseen circumstances.
Ling Tian directly entered the yacht's cockpit, started the engine, and turned on all the lights on the yacht.
In an instant, the dark water surface was brightly illuminated by the yacht's lights.
Especially around the exterior of the yacht, a large ring of high-power searchlights illuminated even the conditions beneath the water clearly.
Ling Tian found that the lake seemed unusual. The water was very clear, and the lights could penetrate far into the lake, but the bottom was difficult to see, indicating the lake's depth was unfathomable.
At this moment, the lake surface changed again. Masses of thick fog suddenly rose from the water, enveloping the entire yacht.
Ling Tian immediately activated his Heavenly Eye divine ability. His spiritual power penetrated the layers of mist, covering an area of nearly a hundred meters centered on the ship.
Soon, Ling Tian made a discovery. Within the thick fog, a woman was gracefully drifting towards him.
This woman held a paper umbrella and wore a green gauze dress. She seemed weightless, floating through the mist as if riding on clouds.
This eerie woman slowly approached the yacht. Just then, it began to rain from the sky.
At this point, Ling Tian felt another wave of spiritual energy fluctuation. It turned out to be the eerie woman continuously sending invitations to Ling Tian, asking him to share her umbrella.
Ling Tian suddenly recalled a type of ghost described in the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.
According to Japanese legends, during rainy weather in the wilderness, one might encounter a woman standing in the rain. If a man were to smile at her and offer to share an umbrella, she would follow him forever.
Thereafter, the man would live in a damp environment. As ordinary people could not withstand such heavy dampness, they would soon die.
This woman, in reality, was a ghost transformed, named the Rain Woman.
The Rain Woman would persistently cling to the man she fancied, making him fantasize about a night of passion with her until her yang energy was drained, and he rotted to death.
Besides her illusionary arts for seducing men, the Rain Woman could also ride the clouds, summon wind and rain, and even the rainy weather encountered by the man was released by the Rain Woman's magic.
Ling Tian smiled slightly and extended his hand towards the Rain Woman.
Seeing the lecherous expression on Ling Tian's face, the Rain Woman was overjoyed, thinking she had succeeded. She then slowly approached Ling Tian, holding her umbrella.
When the distance between them was less than a meter, a talisman suddenly appeared in Ling Tian's hand. True essence was rapidly injected into the talisman, activating the formation on it, and waves of lightning began to swirl around the talisman!
It turned out that Ling Tian held a Lightning Talisman!
Lightning talismans were things that specialized in countering evil spirits and were perfect for dealing with demonic creatures like the Rain Woman!
