Heart Khon Uncanny naturally didn’t want to break into the Ghost Cave, after all, the laws of survival in the netherworld were ten or a hundred times more brutal than in the Kunlun Realm. The undead and the undead were devouring each other in order to become stronger.
Once she trespassed into the Ghost Cave, she would most likely perish as well.
It was only that the netherworld’s territory was too vast, and even the impermanent could not know every danger clearly. Thus, she could not be blamed.
Next, after spending another half a month, experiencing many killings, and passing through the territories of six Ghost Kings in a row, they finally arrived at the edge of the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory.
Over the course of half a month, Zhang Ruochen, the Divine Demon Mouse, Mu Lingshi, and Cold Snow, were all exhausted and suffered multiple killings. Once, they almost all fell inside a canyon, but fortunately, at the last moment, Zhang Ruochen used the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram to collect all of them into the Diagram World, and only then were they able to save their lives.
On the contrary, it was Little Black, who had no injuries at all, and was still in high spirits.
Along the way, Heart Khon Uncanny was also secretly amazed by the battle power of this group of people, clearly not having a high cultivation level, yet each one was more heaven-defying than the other.
If all the cultivators in the Yang world were as powerful as them. Xin Kong Wu Chang had some doubts, those ghost kings who went to the Yang world, were they really able to take down the Yang world?
“With your cultivation levels, you were actually able to actually come to the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory, which indeed surprised me quite a bit. However, I would advise you all that it’s not too late to retreat back now, continuing forward will be even more dangerous.”Heart Khon Uncanny said.
Even Heart Kong Wu Chang was very reluctant to enter the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory.
Zhang Ruochen, however, appeared firm and had no intention of retreating as he said, “What is the exact location of the Deity’s Fallen Land? Take us there immediately.”
“It’s also my first time coming to the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory, I’ve only heard that there were once corpses of deities that fell from the sky and crashed into this land.”Xin Kong Wu Chang said.
“In other words, you don’t know the exact location either?”
“Hmm.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and stopped questioning Heart Kong Wu Chang as he stared over towards Cold Snow and asked, “How is it?”
“The Void Sword’s senses have obviously strengthened by several times, in that distant past, the Thousand Bones Empress must have come here. It’s just that I don’t know, has she already left?”Cold Snow said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Next, let’s follow the Void Sword’s senses forward, and we definitely won’t be wrong.”
After a short rest, the group once again hit the road and headed towards the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory.
In the netherworld, there was no heaven and earth aura, only yin and ghost aura, thus, the holy qi in the cultivator’s body would be constantly depleted, and if they wanted to recover their cultivation, they could only absorb the holy qi from the holy crystals.
After roughly two thousand miles of travelling, Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power, but found that in the air, there was a thin trace of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi remaining.
“Someone has come here before us.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped and flew above a tombstone that was tens of feet tall, opened his Heavenly Eyes and began to search for it.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen withdrew his Heavenly Eyes and glanced at the crowd below, saying, “Cold Snow, follow me. The rest of you, stay where you are and wait, if you encounter any danger, immediately use the holy decree to escape.”
Zhang Ruochen and Coldsnow executed their Body Technique and rushed out in the southeast direction, disappearing between a huge tombstone. It wasn’t long before they had crossed five hundred miles and arrived at the outskirts of a blood lake.
That one blood lake was so wide that standing on the shore, one could not see the other side at all.
In the sky above the lake, there was a moon hanging in the sky, emitting a scarlet-red glow that reflected on the surface of the heart like a hideous and terrifying ghost’s eye.
At this moment, on the shores of the blood lake, there were three monks wearing robes.
That’s right, they were living human beings, and not ghostly bodies coalesced by Impermanence.
In addition to the three monks, on the ground, there were hundreds of corpses lying. For each corpse, there was a powerful aura emanating out, and even though the robes on their bodies were already rotting, their flesh was intact.
Obviously, those corpses, when they were alive, must have all been quite powerful beings.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
One of the monks, who looked to be in his fifties, had a slightly blonde body, kind-looking eyebrows, and around his neck, hung a huge string of black Buddha beads.
He walked over to the side of a corpse and stretched out a finger, a golden glow emerged from his fingertip, inscribing a golden Sanskrit script on the corpse’s brow.
A bizarre scene presented itself.
The corpse, rising from the ground, knelt very reverently in front of the monks, hands prostrate, forehead to the ground, as if it was a believer bowing to a holy monk.
Three monks, in turn, on the ground of the dead body’s brow engraving Sanskrit, engraving is completed, the dead body will “live” over.
From afar, Han Xue saw this scene and felt quite surprised, her starry eyes widened as she asked in a low voice, “Master, how could this happen?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he pondered for a moment and said, “They should be the evil monks of the Deadly Zen Sect, cultivating the ‘Deadly Zen Buddhist Dharma’, which allows them to take in the undead as believers, refining them into battle corpses and Buddhist ghosts, and transforming them into their battle puppets. Five hundred years ago, it was because they practiced this kind of evil Buddhism and killed many innocent people that they were expelled.”
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, again, was fixed on the corpses on the ground, and he sucked in a breath of cold air, saying, “They must have come to the netherworld in order to search for some powerful corpses and bones, preparing to refine powerful battle corpses. Look, the hundreds of corpses on the ground are all at least Half-Saint level corpses.”
“In the Kunlun Realm, if they wanted to steal a Half-Saint corpse, they would definitely be besieged by the Half-Saint descendants. But in the netherworld, there are graves all over the place, so it’s easy to dig up a half-saint corpse, and even, there’s the possibility of digging up a saint corpse.”
In Cold Snow’s eyes, a snowy light appeared, and she whispered, “Master, do you think that it could be the people of the Deadly Zen Sect, who opened the seal of the Perishable God’s Tomb Forest, and released the undead from the netherworld? In this way, they could safely and boldly enter the netherworld, digging up half-saint corpses and sacrificing a large number of battle corpses.”
“With the number of corpses in the netherworld, it is by no means difficult for the Deadly Zen Sect to cultivate an army of war corpses made up of half-saint corpses even if they wanted to. In that case, it would still sweep the Kunlun Realm and unify the world.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Coldsnow and felt more and more that this little girl had a very demonic intelligence, to think of this layer at such a young age was really not simple.
However, Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
“Why?”Cold Snow asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The evil monks of the Deadly Zen Sect, even if, in the netherworld, they dug up more powerful corpses. However, they are unable to cross the Corpse River back to the Kunlun Realm, so what’s the point?”
Cold Snow nodded, gently bit her lip, and said, “It is still master teacher who has thought this through, why didn’t I think of this point.”
“However, your words may not be without reason. For the Evil Monks of the Deadly Zen Sect to be able to come to the Divine Primordial Ghost King’s territory one step ahead of us, it also means that they are very well-prepared, and most likely, they are entering the netherworld on a large scale, and it is definitely not just these three Evil Monks in front of us.”Zhang Ruochen analysed.
“Gulong!”
On the surface of the Blood Lake, bubbles the size of a basin rose up, and the entire surface of the lake began to churn.
Immediately after, a sound of breaking water rang out, followed by an incomparably brilliant piece of Buddhist light that rushed out from the lake, transforming into a gigantic golden ball of light with a diameter of thirty zhang that was suspended in mid-air.
When the Buddha light dispersed, a young monk in his twenties was revealed from inside the golden ball of light.
The young monk was very handsome, with skin as fair as jade, thick black eyebrows, deep eyes, and a straight nose, wearing a golden robe as he slowly floated down to the ground.
“Greetings to the Heart Art Buddhist Master.”
The three monks closed their hands at the same time and bowed down in a very respectful manner, bowing and saluting that one young monk.
Zhang Ruochen sensed an aura of danger on the body of that young monk called the Heart Art Buddhist Master, so he immediately stirred up the invisibility power of the Meteor Invisibility Clothes and wrapped him and Cold Snow in it.
At the same time, he and Cold Snow, gathered the aura on their bodies, to the extreme.
The right hand of the Heart Art Buddhist Master, holding up a nine-foot long Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, slowly placed it on the ground and said, “At the bottom of the Blood Lake, there is a Ghost King Formation laid out, and it took the poor monk three hours to break the formation and take out this coffin.”
Obviously, he was an evil monk of the Deadly Zen Sect, yet he appeared incomparably holy.
In particular, this person’s voice appeared extremely melodious and incomparably ethereal, and listening to his ears, it was as if he was listening to the Holy Buddha preaching Zen, and he couldn’t help but kneel down and bow to him.
“With the cultivation of a Heart Art Buddhist Master, it even took three hours to break the Ghost King Formation, the owner of this coffin must be quite extraordinary.”
One of the evil monks of the Second Order Semi-Saint level walked over to the side of the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, and through the crystal clear walls of the coffin, looking inside, one could faintly see a woman tripping inside.
It didn’t look like a corpse, instead, it looked like she was asleep.
Zhang Ruochen also looked over towards the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, his heart very curious as to what kind of treasure it was that actually required the use of the Ghost King Formation to seal it.
“Huh!”
The Mindfulness Buddhist Master stood by the lakeshore and sensed Judas peeping in, so he immediately turned his gaze towards the location where Zhang Ruochen and Cold Snow were hiding.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and Cold Snow only felt that the air had become frozen, and their bodies, completely unable to move, as if they were sealed inside the cold ice.
“His cultivation, it’s too terrifying, just a single glance towards the coffin was detected by him.”
Zhang Ruochen endeavoured to run the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Sutra, mobilising his Saint Qi and impacting his meridians, trying to break through the other party’s suppression.
By the lakeside, a puzzled look appeared in the eyes of the Heart Art Buddhist Master as he took a step in the direction of Zhang Ruochen and Cold Snow.
Right at this moment, ear-piercing whistling sounds rang out from the direction behind Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue.
A pitch-black cloud of ghosts continued to rush over from afar, roaring out, “How dare you steal Lord Ghost King’s body.”
“Rumble!”
Hao Chuan Wu Chang rode his soul beast, and darted over from afar, a powerful force, erupted from his body, and rolled up the ground, dozens of huge tombstones, at the same time, and smashed them towards the four Evil Monks of the Deadly Zen Sect.
