Some people are born with the dragon species, while others need to work hard in order to seize the opportunity and emerge from the abyss.
Chen Dengming is undoubtedly the latter.
In this world, there are neither too many nor too few people who are immortals and dragons. If you ask about the number, they even exceed those who can become a hidden dragon by hard work the day after tomorrow.
However, many of them with excellent qualifications died halfway and were forgotten by the world.
People who die young in the human world often have a glorious history, and there is a high probability that they will be fabricated as legends, widely circulated, and recorded among the fairies, ghosts, and monsters that monks and mortals like to talk about.
But if a person dies under the gloomy spring, no matter how glorious he was in the past, how many people in the world still remember his name?
Netherworld Ghost King, this is the name of an ancient ghost king under the Yinquan. He was once a wonderful person.
Most of those who can be called ghost kings are powerful ghosts at the level of gods, and a few are ghosts who control a Yinquan.
There are only ninety-nine and eighty-one mouths of Yinquan.
A ghost that can control a yin spring is an extremely powerful Nascent Soul Ghost King, even if it is not a ghost king.
In addition, the blessing of Yinquan, a holy object of the ghost realm, is naturally stronger and stronger, and it can be called the Ghost Lord of Yinquan.
However, ghost kings like Netherworld Ghost King who can get titles outside of Yinquan are all genuine gods. Under Yinquan, the world where many ghosts and evil spirits exist is also an extremely ancient existence.
This kind of existence often hides in the underworld of Yinquan, and is in a state of rest for a long time. It enjoys the tribute of many ghost cultivators in the ghost city surrounding Yinquan, and rarely wakes up.
After a person dies, most of the souls will dissipate and cannot enter the ghostly holy land under the Yinquan.
Only a very small number of powerful people, or the souls who enter the underworld by chance, or the souls of monks who are trapped by ghost cultivators, have the chance to enjoy the life of the underworld.
The former needs to turn to ghost cultivation to gain Yin longevity.
The winner all depends on luck. If you enter the corresponding ghost town under the Yin Spring, it will be easier to survive, or you may be able to enjoy the Yin Life.
The last ones have their souls imprisoned, most of them are worse off than dead, they are controlled by others, and their life span is not peaceful.
Therefore, all ghost cultivators will have a miserable end. Even if they have a Yin life, when the Yin life ends, they will be left with their souls scattered.
The state of 'rest' is the most perfect way to 'extend life' for ghost cultivators.
'Rest in peace' requires a large amount of resources from the underworld, many ghost cultivators pay tribute, and it also needs to be protected by a Yin spring, which cannot be enjoyed by ordinary ghost cultivators.
The Netherworld Ghost King certainly has the qualifications and resources to enjoy 'rest' for a long time.
But recently, this ghost king has frequently awakened from his 'rest' state. He was furious with inexplicable thunder and let out a roar that frightened the ghosts. Many ghost cultivators in the territory felt that a disaster was coming. They were all trembling, guessing that it might be... There is an underworld war about to break out.
Just after Chen Deng successfully merged the spirit and changed the properties of the spirit root with a finished high-grade water spirit root.
Only more than ten years later, another roar that shocked the souls suddenly erupted from the majestic and gloomy ghost town.
This is a giant ghost town built in many gloomy mountains.
In the very center of the city, a white light beam reaches the sky, connecting the sky and the earth like a dragon sucking water, which is very eye-catching.
That is the Yinquan that connects the human world.
A magnificent and vast palace was built around the Yin Spring. It was the Yin Dynasty where the ghost king lived.
The many precipitous and steep mountains are like breathtaking portals, dividing the ghost town into many areas, just like the divisions of the eighteen levels of hell.
Bursts of strange sounds came from various areas, seeming to be panicking in response to the ghost king's roar.
If you look carefully, you can see many ghost-like ghosts wandering in the outermost mountainous area.
They have all kinds of strange faces and bodies, with green faces and fangs, three heads and six arms, and they look somewhat like normal people, but their images are quite miserable, and they all exude a cold aura. They are the lowest status ghost people.
The closer you are to the mountainous area of the ghost town, the more 'respectable' the ghosts are and the higher their status is.
Even in the area closest to the ghost town, there are many ghost armies with strict weather conditions and strong armor.
In the ghost city, there are many ghost cultivators and ghost generals with strong auras living there.
But at this time, when they heard the roar coming from the underworld deep in the city, which was like the palace of the Yin Dynasty, all the ghost cultivators were in commotion and became a little restless.
Many ghosts have even prostrated themselves on the ground, worshiping tremblingly, not understanding what happened.
Whoosh whoosh——
More than a dozen ghosts with strong auras were either riding ancient chariots, walking out of paintings, or crawling out of coffins.
They had different images, like a hundred ghosts walking at night, one after another approaching the Yin Dynasty gate of the majestic and gloomy ghost city, and then respectfully worshiped the Netherworld Ghost King and listened to his wishes.
Some of these ghosts resemble normal people and are handsome in appearance, while others are huge and quite ugly with multiple devil heads.
Among them, the weakest ones are all ghost generals who are comparable to those in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
More than ten years ago, they had been alarmed by the ghost king's roar and listened to his wishes.
It is generally known that there are monks in the human world who have no eyesight and have tampered with the ghost king's treasure.
The ghost king can call the wind and rain under the Yinquan, covering the sky with one hand, but it is very difficult to reach out to the human world above the Yinquan to take revenge.
The more powerful the ghost is, the harder it is to leave the Yinquan.
Even if the Netherworld Ghost Lord personally sends people to the human world, he must open the Yinquan and consume the precious resources of the Netherworld before he can do it.
Therefore, the matter of revenge was temporarily shelved more than ten years ago.
Ghost Lord obviously also needs time to think about it.
Now, the ghost king once again let out an angry roar, and it seemed that it was time to truly make up his mind.
The ten great ghost generals and the two great ghost kings respectfully listen to your wishes.
A cold and hoarse voice came from within.
"King Qianluo, on my behalf, go to visit the Ghost Lord of Xingluo Yinquan and tell him that I hope to use his Yinquan channel."
When the powerful ghosts heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
Although Xingluo Yinquan Ghost King is not a titled ghost king, he is also an extremely powerful Yuanying Consummation Ghost King. He controls a Yinquan and has amazing strength.
But these are not the main point. The main point is that it is rumored that Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord has established contact with the force that invaded the human world more than 20 years ago.
Recently, they have used the resources of that force to open the Yinquan and sent some soldiers and horses to the human world.
Netherworld Ghost Lord now also wants to use the Yinquan Channel of Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord to send people out.
Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to get involved in the war in the human world?
But this is not easy, and progress cannot be made too quickly.
Every time the Yinquan channel is opened, it takes a long time to prepare, and more than ten years can only be said to be a very short time.
A tyrannical ghost with red hair and simple armor sitting on a chariot heard the words and pondered slightly, then bowed his head and accepted the order.
"Qian Luo, I will obey the orders of the Ghost Lord."
"very good!"
The majestic and gloomy portal ahead suddenly opened a gap with a bang.
Thick smoke and a spooky aura suddenly filled the air from the door.
A storage bag and two beautiful ghost ladies who fell into deep sleep floated in the ghost energy and flew in front of the red-haired Qianluo Ghost King.
“This is my sincerity, you personally hand it over to the hands of the Ghost Lord Xingluo Yinquan.
If he agrees, I hope you will personally take a trip to the human world on my behalf! Execute the thief on my behalf and regain the treasure. "
Some ghost generals saw the two extremely beautiful ghost ladies sleeping, their eyes flickered, and they envied the beauty of Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord.
"yes!"
The red-haired Qianluo Ghost King grabbed the storage bag, then without even looking at the two sleeping ghost brides, put them on the chariot, quickly pulled up the reins, and the chariot rumbled away, quickly driving outside the mountainous area.
But on the outskirts of the mountainous area of the ghost town, there was a moat that looked like the River Styx.
There were many bone boats floating on the water, and they were patrolled by ghosts with pain and sorrow written on their faces.
They passed quickly, leaving strange ripples on the water.
White mist would appear in the water from time to time, vaguely revealing the desperate bluish-white faces under the water.
Farther away, in the depths of darkness, there seemed to be white lines crossing the sky and the earth like auroras, cutting through the darkness into distinct areas.
It was clearly the light emitted by the gloomy springs that connected one after another to the human world, and also symbolized the territory of the ghost cities.
This place is simply a piece of underground darkness that has been forgotten by the world. It has its own order and completely subverts people's imagination of life and death.
Many ghosts and ghost cultivators live here without seeing the sky or sunshine.
Everything is shrouded in darkness and terror, making people feel depressed and desperate from the bottom of their hearts.
It seems that the Hedao monk who once made a great wish to establish the underworld really succeeded?
In the blink of an eye, nine years later.
Inside the Tianxian Peak Cave of the longevity sect, the light incense is burning, which makes people feel refreshed.
But he saw an exquisite futon on a cold ice bed in the quiet room.
A figure of a man with white hair at the temples sat cross-legged on the futon. Next to it was an incense burner, with several cigarettes lingering in the air, emitting a rich aroma to help him concentrate on his practice.
There is a brocade curtain placed next to the stove, and inside is another bed tent with exquisite carvings. The four corners are covered with various jade pendants, and the bead curtains of various colors are gently swaying.
Two long legs wearing pearl stockings also swayed slightly through the bead curtain, which was a bit charming.
He Yingyu put on the attire that she would carefully dress up in the cave, let go with a snap, and then got off the bed with satisfaction. Niao Na walked to the kitchen. She had already calculated the time when Chen Dengming came out of seclusion recently, and was ready to cook a sumptuous meal with her own hands. of spiritual dishes.
When Chen Dengming finishes his training, he will be able to eat hot spiritual food.
In the fighting room on the other side, the three generations of small formation spirits are practicing torturing the ghost Zhu Xun. With their superior strength, they are suppressing the ghost Zhu Xun. It is called training the actual combat ability, but in fact it is just to vent. I feel depressed.
Since the defect in Chen Dengming's Xiang Ke Spirit Root was repaired nine years ago, he no longer needs the Spirit Seizing Array as an aid in his daily practice.
Xiao Zhenling was facing unemployment at that time.
Although in the initial period, Chen Dengming would still habitually ask the little array spirit to dance for fun.
But after practicing without the Soul Seizing Array, he will no longer need to change caves as frequently as before. Once he is too indulged in the practice, he will rarely wake up midway. It is normal to fall into deep-level practice for a long time.
In this way, naturally, people will gradually stop watching dances, neglecting the little formation spirit, which makes it feel quite sad and simply hide in the body to practice, letting the naughty but charming three-hundred spirit spirit come out to cause trouble.
Chen Dengming was not a lecherous person. He could not bear the harassment of the overly dissolute ghost spirits, and he was unable to awaken the fetal light as the first generation of small formation spirits. He could only sacrifice his brothers in the banner to temporarily divert the attention of the ghost spirits, but this made Lao Zhu suffer.
Strangely enough, You Jing only seemed to be very dissolute towards Chen Dengming, but he punched and kicked Zhu Xun, the ghost guy, and was often ruthless in their fights.
In this regard, Chen Dengming seemed to be able to find a reasonable answer after taking a few more glances at the hateful face of Zhu Xun, the ghost man, and at his own "old but tender" cheeks.
In this banner, everyone looks like they deserve a beating. It is indeed easy to get beaten. Unlike him, he looks likeable and speaks well.
…
At this time, as Chen Dengming's meritorious deeds were completed, the black and green water and wood spiritual light above his head gradually shrank into his body along the top of his head.
A spiritual power arises on its own, stirring the hair and dancing lightly.
Chen Dengming opened his eyes, and a ray of light passed by, as if there was lightning in the empty room.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, then sensed the increasing elixir power in his body, observed the growth of proficiency in the "Longevity Skill" on the panel, and showed a satisfied smile.
Since the conflicting metal and wood spiritual roots were changed to the mutually coexisting water and wood spiritual roots, he had lost another forty-five years of life nine years ago, and the affinity of the water and wood spiritual roots that had fallen slightly had been raised to the peak again.
Since then, my practice has been like a fish in water, with no disadvantages.
The speed of practice is indeed as expected, increased by more than 50% than usual.
The most important thing is that he no longer needs to rely on the spirit seizing array, not to mention less resources such as spiritual crystals to arrange the array. He also does not need to frequently change caves with one shot for another. He is frequently planned out of the cultivation state, and his cultivation efficiency is also Huge improvements.
Therefore, after practicing for more than nine years, the results gained are already comparable to those of fourteen years.
At this moment, Chen Dengming woke up from a long period of cultivation. He smelled the smell of spiritual food coming from the kitchen, and looked at his sister's familiar back and the pearly silk stockings. A smile appeared on his face. Very comforting to my old heart.
In the Immortal Cultivation Cave, there is still such a atmosphere of human fireworks, which is one of the factors that makes him quickly find his true self and feel at ease every time during his long and lonely life of cultivating immortals.
"Did you practice? It seems that I remembered the time quite accurately. The rich spiritual food prepared for you will be ready soon."
In the kitchen room, He Yingyu's voice came.
When the ghost spirit in the fighting room heard the commotion, it also ended the torture of ghost guy Zhu Xun and quickly left the room.
"It can only be said that I have cultivated for the time being. After today, I have to retreat again and break through to the perfection of the golden elixir as soon as possible."
Chen Dengming stood up and responded with a smile, "cracking" and flexing his muscles. Just as he was about to walk towards the kitchen, the ghost came to him like a ghost, with his mouth pouted and his hands on his hips. He was not at all cautious and pitiful like the little formation spirit. He looked old-fashioned and snorted.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Chen, your retreat has lasted for more than eight months. Have you almost forgotten my previous reminder?"
Chen Dengming was troubled by the naughty third soul of this little formation spirit.
I wanted to ignore this little devil no matter what he did when he came near, but now I was stunned when I heard this.
Only then did she remember that You Jing had warned her more than eight months ago, and she could vaguely sense the fluctuations in her soul's aura, which seemed to be warning her.
This is very abnormal.
There were four souls in the small formation spirit who entered the Yin Cave and Yin Spring in the back mountain of Yin Gui Sect.
Nearly thirty years ago, a soul accidentally left the Yinquan, and was encountered and taken back by him and the small formation spirit in the Yin Cave.
Now, another spirit appears again and warns the little formation spirit, which is a bit intriguing.
However, more than eight months ago, Xiao Zhenling's perception was relatively vague.
And it is impossible to determine where that soul is, whether it is in the Yin Cave of the Four Realms.
If he was in the Four Realms, he would not be able to go back at all for the time being. Chen Dengming did not take the small formation spirit to search for it, but continued to practice to improve his strength.
"What? Could it be that your perception of that spirit is clearer this time?"
Chen Dengming stopped with his hands behind his back, frowned and asked, for the sake of the first generation, he would just listen.
However, if that soul is really in the underworld within the four realms, it is impossible for him to take the little formation spirit back to search for it for the time being.
Although as early as nine years ago, the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance had already dispatched some of its top experts to the Four Domains for a preliminary test of counterattack due to the "sudden" silence of the demon lord outside the territory. It seemed to be paving the way for the official Four Seas Counterattack. Now it may be far away The real counterattack is not far away, and the countdown is about to begin.
But this also forced Chen Dengming not to relax at all.
He tried his best to seize every available time to practice before trouble came, and raced against time to quickly break through his strength.
During this period, unless forced, I really don't want to leave the sect and go anywhere.
"Humph." You Jing was so smart and sharp that he could see Chen Dengming's thoughts at a glance. He covered his mouth and chuckled, then a circle of light danced in the air, and he sat on the table and swayed his little feet.
"Don't worry, my body is not in the underworld of the Four Realms. I have confirmed it now. She seems to be approaching us, which is really interesting.
But what’s more interesting is that the reason why she warned was not because of me, but because of you.”
Chen Dengming was stunned, "Because of me? What was she warning about?
If there is trouble, can you ask her to cooperate and lead the trouble to the Immortal City..."
