Chapter 297 - 297 Ghost Transformation Spirit
297 Ghost Transformation Spirit
In the depths of the ghost pit was endless darkness. Only wisps of ghost fire occasionally appeared, and it was far less lively than before.
The nine suns suddenly cut through the darkness, followed by more than ten figures.
Song Shi asked, “Why didn’t they enter the Spirit Land?”
“I think they tried. Just that they didn’t succeed.”
Ghost Fiend guessed and explained, “Brother Blood Robes, you might not know this, but the Spirit Land is related to the Netherworld Realm to a certain extent. It’s a spatial fragment left behind from ancient times and still has the power of the Netherworld. The deeper they go, the more unsuitable it is for living people. No matter how strong their overall strength is, they are only a group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. It’s possible for them to be wiped out if they rashly enter.”
“Young Master, he’s right. It’s not suitable to stay in the Spirit Land for long. Otherwise, you’ll become a dead person.”
Bai Yu’er teased, “The people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect have been in there for a long time yet they couldn’t leave since they would be ambushed. They’re probably going to live up to the name of the sect. They have probably all turned into ghosts now.”
Ghost Fiend frowned and said indifferently, “That will indeed happen. However, my sect’s cultivation method is suitable to walk this path to begin with. Even the best Upper Realm to ascend to is the Netherworld Realm. It’s nothing to us.”
Song Shi found it strange, “Wait, I suddenly realized that the Upper Realm you’re talking about is not a world.”
“Young Master, do you think it’s a world?”
Bai Yu’er glanced sideways, thinking that Song Shi knew about the Upper Realm.
“There’s too little information about the ascension. I don’t read ancient books every day, so I’m not too sure.”
Song Shi said matter-of-factly, “But I can learn about it now.”
Bai Yu’er came to a realization and introduced, “Actually, the Upper Realm we usually talk about is the Upper Realm we want to ascend to. It’s the Upper Realm that living people want to go to. However, it’s not the case for some special cultivators. For example, those who cultivate the Ghost Dao can go to the Netherworld Realm, and those who cultivate the Demon Dao can ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm. However, the Upper Realm that’s the easiest to go to is still the Black Spirit Realm. It’s also an Upper Realm that anyone can go to.”
Song Shi immediately understood. It was normal that there was more than one Upper Realm outside the Boundless Continent. He was not too surprised.
“Blood-robed Elder, since our foundation outside has been destroyed, we don’t have a good place to go. This time, we’re prepared to walk the ghost path in the Ghost Land. Your path is different from ours. You don’t have to follow us in.”
Ghost Fiend said, “If you go out now, you still have a chance to leave. If you’re too late, you might be blocked.”
“Let’s go take a look first. They can’t stop me.”
Song Shi was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see if Bai Xiaoqin was inside.
“Alright, it’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to enter at all.”
Ghost Fiend was sincerely grateful.
“I’ve already said that it’s a promise. It’s only right for me to return some of the good stuff that the Heavenly Ghost Sect gave me.”
Song Shi flicked his finger, and flames lit up brightly. The underground river shattered, and the originally green Ghost River disappeared, as if it had been evaporated by some power.
“Sure enough, they’ve attacked this place before. They must have failed.”
Ghost Fiend’s expression darkened, “The situation at that time must have been worse than we imagined.”
He scanned the area. “I can’t believe the entrance is gone.”
“There’s a slight displacement of the Spirit s.p.a.ce entrance.”
had Song Shi looked at the end of the dark river. Ever since he had died many times in the spatial storm and browsed through the Void Sutra, his perception of void fluctuations was very sensitive.
He flew forward, “The entrance is in the deep end now.”
After advancing for a few kilometers, an area that emitted dense green ghost flames appeared. A huge crack appeared in the s.p.a.ce, causing a fissure to appear in the underground rocks.
In the depths of the fissure, densely packed Spirits floated. There were beasts, humans, and soldiers in armor.
“Wu~”
Amidst the wild shrieks and howls, a gust of ghostly wind blew out, and green vortexes strangely appeared in all directions, making one’s hair stand on end.
Densely packed spirits flew over, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws like moths to a flame. As soon as they came into contact with the circle of light emitted by the flames, they turned into ashes and smoke.
“The power of the Spirit s.p.a.ce has become much more berserk.”
Ghost Fiend looked at the entrance. “It should be caused by the battle.”
“Let’s talk inside.”
Song Shi ignored the sinister wind and ghostly fire at the spatial rift and walked in with Chen Yiling’s sword.
A bone-chilling power blew over, causing the flames on his body to sway. The power of the spirit and the power of pure Yang were consuming each other intensely. The former seemed endless, but Song Shi’s power was more Domineering. He would definitely have the upper hand in a short period of time.
“d.a.m.n it, it has only been a few days since I cam out from an underground cave and now we have to enter another G.o.dforsaken place again.”
Song Shi pursed his lips. He instinctively did not like this place.
He felt that this s.p.a.ce was rejecting him. It was even more pressurizing than last time. It was probably because he had become stronger.
A green light appeared in front of him, and the things revealed were gray. Song Shi looked at the dilapidated s.p.a.ce and was surprised. Has this place been messed up so badly? The Qian Dragon Army is quite capable.”
“Where’s the Bull-Headed Horse-Face guarding the door? The last time I came here, there was still one.”
Black Snake was dissatisfied from behind. “This time, there isn’t even anyone guards welcoming guest. I don’t think these Ghostly Emperors have any respect at all.”
“Something’s wrong. Look, there are many spatial cracks in this s.p.a.ce. Can the Qian Dragon Army cause such destruction?”
Bai Yu’er conjured a white snake with Nomological power and flew out. Before it could fly far, there was a cracking sound.
A black line appeared and cut the Nomological power white snake in half. It looked exceptionally sharp.
The expressions of Luo Chi and the others with low cultivation levels who followed in turned cold. They did not dare to walk around at all, afraid that they would be like this.
Song Shi did not say anything and continued forward, avoiding the black lines that appeared from time to time. These were spatial cracks that could directly cut through Dharma treasures. They were more powerful than most sabers in the world.
They walked for several miles, but they didn’t see a single living person. There were only some low-level ghosts that didn’t have consciousness.
“There are too many spatial cracks. It’s not easy to investigate.”
Song Shi muttered. The s.p.a.ce here was a little chaotic, and the thoughts released could easily be destroyed by the spatial rift.
As he said this, he reached out and touched a spatial crack. With a whoosh, a light flashed and the black line was cut off by his finger.
Behind him, Black Snake’s face twitched. His body could not even be destroyed by spatial cracks. It was simply a humanoid Numinous artifacts.
At this moment, the ghost wind in the distance intensified, and a huge monster rushed over.
Tap, tap, tap!
The sound of horse hooves sounded out urgently. It was actually a Horse-faced monster with green flames all over its body. It rushed over with a broken sword in its hand.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
It let out a furious roar. Like a wild beast, it had no rationality.
When Song Shi saw this Horse Face, he felt that it was a little familiar, but it was not like the Horse Face he had seen last time.
Ghost Fiend recognized him and said hurriedly, “Blood-robed Elder, this is Elder w.a.n.g. He must have lost his mind when he transformed into a ghost spirit. Please show mercy.”
“Elder w.a.n.g?”
Song Shi was stunned. After being reminded, he finally recognized this guy.
Wasn’t this w.a.n.g Xilian who had offended him because of Bai Xiaoqin? How did he become like this?
Bai Yu’er raised her hand and the light of ice shone. Horse Face was directly frozen, maintaining its ferocious appearance.
“That’s him. Blood-robed Elder, you should know that our Heavenly Ghost Sect has a secret technique that can transform cultivators into a ghost spirits under special circ.u.mstances so they can live a second life. Bulls and horses are often chosen by us when we transform into spirits because the two of them interact with people all year round and have spirituality and a certain level of humanity. Being a bull or a horse can reduce the risk of going crazy.”
Ghost Fiend sighed. “From the looks of it, he hasn’t completely succeeded, but he hasn’t completely lost his spirituality yet. He can still be saved.”
