Seven Deadly Sins System

Soon, Chu Wuyao realized that the information she had previously obtained from the Star Pavilion was indeed true.

The moment she entered the range of the Howling Ghost Forest, she noticed that an invisible power appeared and began pressing against her body, preventing her from taking off and flying into the sky.

In her senses, this power was a natural phenomenon and was not caused by a powerful cultivator or a hidden formation but by the world itself.

Although Chu Wuyao was initially a little surprised, she quickly calmed down.

The Cultivation World was not an ordinary world, and even though such phenomena were rare, they still existed.

For example, Chu Wuyao had previously read about the Fire Realm, a large stretch of land that was submerged in scorching flames, where even Supernatural Realm cultivators would have trouble surviving if they were thrown in it.

In comparison, the effect of forbidding flying seemed quite common and was nothing out of the ordinary.

"But this place is very strange.", Chu Wuyao thought secretly, sensing a strange aura emanating from the forest around her.

This aura was cold and ruthless and would bring natural terror to anyone who came in contact with it.

If it was anyone else, they would not be able to recognize the source of this cold aura, but Chu Wuyao immediately recognized it.

It was the aura of Death, a High-Grade Authority whose effects overlapped with the Undead Authority she had understood.

However, compared to the Undead Authority, the Death Authority was not only more encompassing but it could also be fused with the Life Authority, turning into the Supreme-Grade Life and Death Authority.

Feeling this aura, many thoughts went through Chu Wuyao's mind, but her movements weren't slow.

Stepping forward, she walked deeper into the forest.

****

The Howling Ghost Forest stretched for many kilometers in a circular shape, and because flying was forbidden, it would be difficult for someone to discover the inheritance without knowing its exact location.

Of course, Chu Wuyao didn't have this problem.

Not only was the location of the inheritance mentioned in the information she obtained from the Star Pavilion, but she could also sense that many auras had gathered at the very center of the forest.

With these people leading the way, it would be strange for Chu Wuyao to lose her way.

When Chu Wuyao was rushing through the Howling Ghost Forest at high speed, she suddenly noticed something, and her movements came to an abrupt stop.

"Sure enough, this forest is quite evil.", she muttered and raised her head to look at a tree in front of her.

This tree was way bigger than the other trees she had met on the way and was tens of meters tall, with a thick trunk and countless branches, while it was completely white, like a blank piece of paper.

It was natural for such a strange tree to attract the attention of people, but Chu Wuyao was obviously not a person who would care about a tree's appearance.

Instead, her eyes fell on a certain branch of this tree.

This branch was white, like the rest of the tree, and looked very fragile and easy to break but this was obviously an illusion.

The corpse that had been pierced through by this branch and was now hanging in the air was clear evidence of this, and the horrified expression on the cultivator's face made it obvious that his death was not a mere accident.

Chu Wuyao didn't feel anything when she saw this scene but instead became a little curious.

In her senses, the tree in front of her exuded no aura and had no vitality, as if it was not a living being.

However, this was impossible.

Let alone the fact that a normal tree wouldn't be able to "hunt" humans, even ordinary mortal trees would exude some aura and possess a small amount of vitality.

It was fairly obvious that something strange was going on with this tree.

Realizing this, Chu Wuyao didn't become afraid but extended her senses, wanting to investigate this strange tree further.

This time, when she observed it closely, she was able to discover something.

In the depths of this tree, there was a very well-hidden aura, the aura of Death.

"Interesting...", Chu Wuyao couldn't help but mutter, and without any hesitation, she took action.

She didn't use her Vision, nor did she take a Magic Weapon out, but instead, she casually waved her right hand.

The next moment, a pitch black long sword formed in front of her.

Then, with a move of her mind, the black sword moved, attacking the white tree.

Just before this attack could land, though, the originally lifeless tree finally showed its true colors, and a large face grew rapidly on its thick trunk.

This face was androgynous, having both male and female facial features, while its expression was twisted, filled with hatred and coldness.

"AAgh!"

A loud, shrill scream came out of its mouth, which echoed in Chu Wuyao's ears and tried to attack her soul.

Unfortunately for the tree, its struggle was completely meaningless.

Facing its attack, Chu Wuyao didn't even blink, and the black sword didn't even pause.

"Bang!"

The black sword ignored the tree's defenses and cut right through its trunk while the remaining power raged inside the tree's body, wiping out its vitality.

In a split second, the large tree and the corpse that was hanging on it had turned into flying ash, which slowly fell to the ground.

However, just then, a change occurred.

The moment the ash landed on the ground, it quickly gathered together, turning into a white flower with countless tiny petals.

This flower was actually very common in Chu Wuyao's previous life, and it was a white chrysanthemum, a flower that was often associated with the concept of death.

The chrysanthemum looked ordinary, but Chu Wuyao didn't underestimate it.

When her eyes landed on it, she could sense a longing coming from her Vision, letting her know that as long as she swallowed this flower, she would receive many benefits.

This feeling was very strange and quite inexplicable, but Chu Wuyao had always trusted her intuition.

After she made sure that there was no danger, Chu Wuyao didn't waste any more time, and the Six Paths Vision flew out of her body and landed behind her.

Without needing her instructions, the Six Paths Vision stretched out its hand and reached for the white chrysanthemum before putting it in its mouth and swallowing it.

As it did, a familiar energy appeared in its body and began increasing its strength, while the six holes behind its head trembled slightly as if they were transforming.

Unfortunately, just like what happened when it swallowed the Vision of Song Yang, this energy quickly disappeared.

Clearly, this energy was not enough to support the Six Paths Vision to complete its transformation, and it was only enough to slightly increase its strength.

However, Chu Wuyao was still quite satisfied with this effect.

"The improvement that the Six Paths Vision received by swallowing the chrysanthemum is about 10% of the total improvement it received when it devoured the Vision of Song Yang.", she quickly made an estimate.

Although this improvement seemed to be very small in comparison, one had to know that killing Awakening Realm cultivators was actually very risky.

After all, one couldn't ensure that their opponent didn't have a powerful treasure, a powerful Magic Weapon, or a strange skill.

Chu Wuyao had previously read about cultivators at the Shackles Realm who had used all kinds of strange items to kill Supernatural Realm cultivators, and it was certain that the methods that cultivators at the Awakening Realm possessed would only be more powerful.

"Compared to devouring Visions, swallowing this chrysanthemum is many times easier. All I have to do is find a few more strange trees and slaughter them."

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao had an urge to go on a killing spree, destroying the Howling Ghost Forest and wiping out every single tree in it.

However, she soon calmed down and shook her head.

She couldn't know how many such strange trees there were in the forest and whether it was worth it to go to spend so much effort to find them.

After all, it was likely that such trees were everywhere, but it was also as likely that the tree she met was the only one.

Moreover...

"Now is not the right time to do this.", Chu Wuyao thought and turned her head, looking towards the very center of the forest.

In that direction, she could feel two auras colliding against each other, fighting fiercely with all their strength. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

Judging from their momentum, Chu Wuyao could see that these two people had reached the Awakening Realm and were quite powerful.

"It seems that the fighting has begun.", she muttered, and after she took one last glance at this place, she didn't hesitate any longer and rushed towards the center of the Howling Ghost Forest.

Compared to searching for those strange white trees, Chu Wuyao preferred competing with other cultivators.
