On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Frustrated, Chen Tian decided to close his eyes and use his spiritual sense. He focused on quieting his mind and opening himself up to the spiritual energy around him.

"Damn it!" he exclaimed, as he realized that even with his spiritual senses, he couldn't find anything that was causing this noise.

Chen Tian's frustration grew, and he wondered if he was missing something crucial.

"Ki~~~"

"Hel~~p"

Whispers filled the air, adding to Chen Tian's confusion. He felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head.

He dodged to the side and looked around to see if anyone was there. But to his surprise, there was no one in sight, only pine trees.

The whispering continued, growing louder and more eerie.

Not to mention, the buzzing sound in his head was becoming unbearable.

Chen Tian's heart started pounding in his chest as an unsettling feeling washed over him. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched and that something was wrong.

"Damn it, what is going on?" Chen Tian muttered to himself, his voice barely audible.

'Hehehe, kid, try escaping that.' The mysterious woman watching Chen Tian from the shadows chuckled in her heart.

She already knew what was happening to Chen Tian, as she was familiar with this place.

"The Whispering Pine Wood, named for the endless whispers that seemed to emanate from its depths, wasn't merely a place obstructed by dense Yin Qi.

Because of the dense Yin Qi in this place, the environment has become increasingly unbearable.

It was a predator in disguise. Within that suffocating aura, it looked like an ordinary forest, but it is actually something far more sinister."

The more someone continues walking, the deeper they will be pulled into this trap. The trees whispered in an eerie chorus, their voices growing louder and more menacing with each step.

Chen Tian could hear the cries of many lost souls trapped in this malevolent forest.

The air grew colder, and a sense of dread filled his every pore.

As he ventured further, Chen Tian's heartbeat quickened, his instincts urging him to turn back.

|Buzzzz|

The buzzing sound kept growing louder, causing Chen Tian's head to throb with pain. He couldn't concentrate, and his spiritual Qi was being weakened with each passing moment.

"I can feel someone watching me," Chen Tian whispered to himself, his voice barely audible.

He glanced around, his eyes darting from shadow to shadow, but there was no sign of anyone or anything.

There were only pine trees stretching out before him, their branches swaying gently in the breeze.

"Wait, did these trees suddenly appear? Were they here before?" Chen Tian wondered, feeling a sense of unease.

The sensation of being watched persisted, intensifying with each passing second.

Chen Tian's heart pounded in his chest as he pressed forward.

"This place is affected by the Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl, so it shouldn't be normal," he thought, recalling any information he had heard about that treasure.

"A place affected by such dense Yin Energy would definitely change after a while," Chen Tian muttered to himself.

"Chaos Insight!"

Chen Tian's eyes glowed with a faint blue light as he activated his special ability.

Since he couldn't find anything using his spiritual sense and other senses, he decided to rely on his Chaos Insight.

To his surprise, many pieces of information appeared in his mind as he focused his Chaos Insight on the surrounding place.

*********************

Name: Pine Ghost Tree

Cultivation: 8th Stage Meridian Opening Realm.

Type: Wood Ghost

Law: Wood, Darkness

*********************

Chen Tian couldn't believe his eyes as he read the information revealed by his Chaos Insight.

'So I was really being watched!' he thought to himself, his heart pounding with disbelief.

The most shocking thing he discovered was that the number of pine ghost trees in the area was far greater than he had anticipated.

'So these bastard were planning on surprise attack!'

According to his Chaos Insight, there were at least a hundred of them scattered throughout the surrounding area.

This new information left Chen Tian both speechless and alarmed.

There were even a few 10th Stage Meridian Opening Realm Pine Ghost Trees.

'Now that I think about it, these pine trees have been observing me all this time; they weren't normal trees but some kind of sentient beings. No wonder they seemed to shift, so they could move!' Chen Tian thought in his mind.

Now that he knew the source of the strange buzzing sound, Chen Tian evilly smirked in his heart as he formulated a plan.

'So you bastards wanted to weaken me, huh? Well, I'll show you something good.' Chen Tian thought.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he began to gather his Qi, channeling it towards his palms. The energy surged within him, ready to be unleashed.

From how they used this kind of trick to weaken him, Chen Tian figured that was how they used to hunt there, but he had a surprise in store for them. As the energy continued to build, Chen Tian's smirk grew wider.

He would make these Pine Ghost Trees regret ever underestimating him.

"Hm? Did that kid figure it out?" The woman in the shadows muttered to herself, her eyes narrowing with surprise.

She had witnessed many small cultivators attempting to enter the forest, but none had figured out what was happening.

Because of the dense Yin Energy here, some evil souls are attached to the pine trees, making them transform into monstrous creatures.

They use soul attacks to weaken the intruders and ensure their capture, and since the intruders couldn't focus and had their spiritual sense weakened, they wouldn't notice how these pine trees were moving.

They would only figure out when it's too late, when the monstrous creatures have already ensnared them in their clutches.

Of course, such tactics would only work on low-level cultivators, not those at higher levels. The woman was sure that only cultivators at the Dao Fusion Realm were safe from this kind of trap, but even so, they wouldn't be able to find her cave since the center was a place where even Dao Emperors could die.

That is why not many would dare venture into this dangerous territory. The woman had intentionally chosen this secluded location to hide her cave, knowing that the treacherous surroundings would deter any unwanted visitors.

"If that kid could reach at least past this dangerous territory, I would help him a little to reach my cave," she thought.

The woman has been observing Chen Tian for some time now, was really impressed by his skill and talent.

The way he held the sword and moved with precision is something that even some disciples in the Upper Realm can hardly do.

Not to mention that the kid gave here an unusual feeling that no mortal could give.

The woman even thought that Chen Tian came from the Upper Realms, but she shook that thought since his cultivation was too low.
