Chapter 1576 (Raw 1558):
Soon, it was the turn of Xiao Chen's group. After he walked into the transportation formation, a light flickered.
Five hundred thousand kilometers passed in just a flash. The group reappeared in a small transportation formation on a mountain peak.
A few Elders guarded this transportation formation.
"Remember, you only have one month. You must leave one month later. If you run into any danger and want to give up, you can come here in advance to receive protection." These Elders gave some final instructions.
Xiao Chen's group looked around, taking in the inner area of Profound Yin Island.
There was a swamp below and intersecting rivers in the distance and seemingly boundless mountains even farther away.
"Would the three of you like to team up with me? The inner area of Profound Yin Island is dangerous. It would be good for us to look out for each other," Wei He suggested, smiling at the three.
Senior Brother, Big Brother Xiao Chen, what do you think? Fei`er felt tempted. After all, an additional person would make their team stronger.
Seeing that this Wei He looked handsome and possessed an extraordinary bearing, Luo Nan quickly rejected before Xiao Chen answered. "There's no need."
Wei He smiled and said, "This is a pity. Let's part here, then."
After Wei He left, Fei`er asked, "Senior Brother, why did you reject him so quickly? He was being nice."
Luo Nan opened his mouth to say something. However, he found that he could not explain.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Although this Wei He appears friendly, he is here with his sect but did not follow them. Either he is used to moving about alone, or he has a bad reputation and the people of his sect do not care about him."
Luo Nan nodded and said, "That's right. Your senior brother's eyes are very sharp. I have already noticed that this fellow harbored bad intentions long ago. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen managed to see that as well. You are somewhat sharp too."
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything more. He sized up the surroundings, observing the geography and terrain.
Baleful Yin Energy was termed Earthern Ghost in geomancy.
Earthern Ghosts were ominous entities. Aside from some special gravesites, most Dragon Veins would not have such a thing around.
The more ominous and sinister the geography, the greater the possibility of Baleful Yin Energy being present.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen flew into the sky. Without Luo Nan and Fei`er noticing, he quietly opened his Heavenly Eye.
All the mountains and rivers within fifty thousand kilometers, every blade of grass, every single tree, all sorts of flowers, birds, bugs, and beasts, even all the various sect disciples busying themselves entered his vision.
The Paradise Secret Canon had records regarding ominous geography. He quickly reviewed his information as he viewed the terrain before him.
"This place is bizarre. To think that it is entirely a land of death! Could this Profound Yin Star itself be an ominous star?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen dismissed the Heavenly Eye and slowly descended.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, what were you looking at?" Fei`er asked out of curiosity.
Xiao Chen answered honestly, "I was looking around, seeing if I could find some places with hidden Baleful Yin Energy."
"Are you that incredible? Haha, Baleful Yin Energy is hidden underground. Could it be that your eyes can see through the ground? Everyone can only rely on luck to find Baleful Yin Energy. When one arrives at a place with Baleful Yin Energy, one will naturally sense it."
Luo Nan did not believe Xiao Chen. Then, he said in disdain, "Junior Sister, come with me. I guarantee that you will find good-quality Baleful Yin Energy."
Xiao Chen did not argue. Luo Nan was right. That was how the sect disciples on Profound Yin Island searched for Baleful Yin Energy.
However, such methods were not only inefficient but would also not allow one to find any Baleful Yin Energy that was more than one thousand years old.
As time passed and the Baleful Yin Energy absorbed more and more Yin-attributed energy, it would sink deeper into the ground, possibly to the bottom. The Baleful Yin Energy that could be sensed was mostly about one hundred years old, or at best, a few hundred years old.
Xiao Chen picked a direction and walked off, relying on his memory.
He recalled that there was an ominous land to the northwest. The terrain hid from the sun, surrounded by danger. Scattered starlight fell from the sky, and there were many withered trees in its perimeter.
"Senior Brother, let's follow Big Brother Xiao Chen. Let's believe in him."
Fei`er advised Luo Nan before setting off after Xiao Chen.
"There is no way I'm following him!" Luo Nan said in a rage, feeling incredibly frustrated.
---
About seven minutes later, Luo Nan followed behind with a sullen face, quietly trailing Xiao Chen and Fei`er.
Fei`er smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I thought you said that you weren't coming?"
Blushing slightly, Luo Nan said, "I…I was just worried about Junior Sister's safety."
Fei`er covered her mouth and giggled nonstop, embarrassing Luo Nan even more.
After a long time, Xiao Chen came to a halt in a flat area.

He looked at the sky, then at the surrounding terrain. After that, he made some more mental calculations.
Xiao Chen was very confident in using geomancy to find Spirit Veins and gravesites.
However, he did not dare to say the same when searching for Baleful Yin Energy. He could only say that there was a good possibility. Whether he succeeded or not would still depend on luck.
However, there was something that Xiao Chen could be sure of. Either he would not find one, or if he did, it would definitely be older than one thousand years.
Hence, failures could be tolerated.
"You think that this place will have Baleful Yin Energy? Junior Sister, you don't really believe that, right?"
Luo Nan closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings. He did not detect any Yin-attributed energy, much less the aura of Baleful Yin Energy.
Fei`er rolled her eyes at Luo Nan. Then she looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Big Brother Xiao Chen, does this place really have Baleful Yin Energy?"
Xiao Chen answered honestly, "I can't be sure. I can only say that there is a chance."
"Then, let's give it a try. Big Brother Xiao Chen, what should we do?" Fei`er said in encouragement, trusting Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It is better to address me as Ye Bai, lest I get exposed."
Fei`er stuck out her tongue and said, "Alright, Senior Brother Ye Bai."
"Junior Sister, we should hurry and leave. We cannot waste time. If we cannot even find any Baleful Yin Energy, it will be too unfortunate."
Fei`er smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. Senior Brother, go give him a hand in concealment. Senior Brother Ye Bai is about to make his move."
Luo Nan was very unwilling. However, since Fei`er gave the instruction, he had to obey.
Xiao Chen drew a Divine Weapon, infused Veritable Essence Energy into it, and ferociously stabbed it into the ground.
The ground immediately split apart with loud rumblings. Luo Nan, who was responsible for concealment, quickly formed a hand seal. Space rippled and scattered the noise in the air.
This prevented the sound from going too far and alerting the people in the vicinity.
Xiao Chen glanced at Luo Nan and smiled. This person truly obeyed everything his junior sister said.
Even though Luo Nan did not like Xiao Chen, he still did his best with the concealment.
The crack in the ground grew increasingly deeper. However, there was still no sign of Baleful Yin Energy. Slowly, Fei`er showed an expression of disappointment.
"Haha! How was it? I was right, right?" Luo Nan said with a smile, looking rather cocky.
Fei`er gave Luo Nan a strange look. "Senior Brother, why are you happy that there is no Baleful Yin Energy? Could it be that you are not here to search for Baleful Yin Energy?"
"Of course not," Luo Nan quickly denied.
"Then, why are you smiling?"
Seeing Fei`er's naive expression, Luo Nan could no longer smile. If he kept speaking, he would appear like a fool.
"Stand guard up here for a while. I'll go down and take a look."
Xiao Chen, who had been staring into the chasm, did not hear what the two were saying. He immediately jumped down after speaking.
This startled both Luo Nan and Fei`er. The environment of Profound Yin Island's inner area was very complex. The underground was even more dangerous. How could Xiao Chen jump in just like that?
"Junior Sister, stand guard here. I'll go down and take a look. This fellow is too rash."
Fei`er nodded and said, "In that case, Senior Brother, be careful."
Luo Nan smiled calmly. "Don't worry. Your senior brother is not as rash as that white-clad fellow. I will definitely be fine."
The chasm was very deep. The farther down one went, the stronger the cold Qi and Yin-attributed energy. When Luo Nan landed, he slipped and fell with a 'plop.'
It turned out that he had not noticed the cold Qi, and his legs had gone numb. He did not even feel his feet touch the ground.
Hence, when he landed, he slipped and fell.
After standing up with much difficulty, Luo Nan saw a white figure flash by, so he quickly gave chase.
"Bang!" Luo Nan only cared about chasing after Xiao Chen, unaware that he had to lower his head. So, his head crashed into a rock wall that was hanging down.
As Luo Nan gave chase, he panted. Even after putting in his full effort, he could only see the back of a white figure.
The environment of this underground area was very complex. He tripped, fell, and crashed many times, suffering a lot. Fortunately, he was following Xiao Chen and did not encounter any ferocious beasts.
After some time, Luo Nan sensed that the white figure in front finally stopped.
Luo Nan's eyes lit up as he hurried over, ignoring the soreness of his entire body. His clothes were tattered, and he appeared to be in a sorry state. He panted, "I…finally…found…found…you. Come…with me. It's…really cold. What's going…on?"
Suddenly, Luo Nan felt that something was wrong. Only then did he noticed that the corpse of a ferocious beast lay before Xiao Chen.
The entire place appeared very gloomy and sinister. Luo Nan felt a bone-deep chill here.
When Luo Nan looked around, he saw black cold winds silently curling together, emitting icy light, at the limits of his vision.
"Baleful Yin Energy!"
