Time is easy to disperse, but above the clouds, there is no continuation of time. The past, present, and future do not exist.
Longevity is a restriction on living people. For ghosts, there is no life or death.
They have no longevity limit and no boundaries between life and death. They exist based on the existence of souls, and the dissipation of souls is their dissipation.
But dissipation is not death. If one day the souls can be replenished, they will condense again.
Without the fear of death, ghosts have no special desire to become immortals, unlike living people who have to go through all kinds of hardships to become immortals.
In heaven and earth, gods, ghosts, and demons are all in different orders.
Immortals and gods are in the sky, ghosts and monsters are in the underworld, and demons are in the world. It is strange for a ghost that comes out of the netherworld to appear in a world that does not belong to it, but it is even stranger for a ghost that appears in the sky.
When Chen Ke came to this cloud layer, he felt that the King Qingtian inside was different.
This is a ghost king with great ambitions!
"Open the door!"
The old man shouted loudly at the city gate. After a while, the city gate creaked open. It was not a magic spell that caused the clouds to dissipate, but someone made the clouds into entities.
What is the cloud?
Clouds are originally mist, a mass of gas. The clouds Chen Ke saw at this moment were in a mixed state of gas and solid, like glass boxes filled with clouds and mist.
A group of ghost soldiers walked out of the city gate. They saluted the old man and said hello: "Greetings to the Prime Minister, the king is already waiting for you inside."
"knew."
The old man nodded lightly, turned to look at Chen Ke, and smiled: "Fellow Taoist, follow me."
Chen Ke and the others followed the old man into the city. The scenery on the cloud street was not much different from the scenery of the town on earth. This scene made Chen Ke feel even more strange. It seemed that King Qingtian yearned for the life of a living person.
After walking through the long streets, we walked into a glorious palace in the center of the city. The clouds here were not ordinary white clouds, but a brightly colored red cloud.
"please!"
The old man felt very relieved when he saw the surprised looks of Chen Ke and others. He liked to see the surprised looks of others, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Because the cloud color here was his suggestion.
The whole city is covered with white clouds, but the Ghost Palace is made of red clouds. It really stands out from the rest.
After passing through the palace city, Chen Ke and the others came to a golden hall.
The clouds here turned out to be golden clouds. Chen Ke completely admired the ghost who built this cloud palace. He was really not an ordinary person. This kind of person is the most suitable for building a palace.
There are ninety-nine and eighty-one steps in the palace. On the platform above the steps, there is a young woman standing. She is wearing a black and gold dragon robe, a black crown on her head, and a pair of red boots. Yingwu looked at Chen Ke with a pair of sharp eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
The old man bowed respectfully to the woman, and the woman waved her hand slightly, indicating that the old man should stand down. The old man pointed at Chen Ke and others and said, "I heard that the king is celebrating his birthday. These are fellow Taoists who are passing by and come to congratulate the king on his birthday."
The woman nodded: "Since you are a fellow Taoist from afar, come in and drink two glasses of thin wine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ke said.
Wan Ying and Sun Donglai also thanked them together.
The old man led the three of them up the steps and into the palace. The palace was very lively. Many ghosts were walking around inside. There were many tables placed and filled with dishes.
When the Ghost King celebrates his birthday, according to human legend, he eats human hearts and livers and drinks human blood.
On the table in front of Chen Ke and the others, there was Linglu Spirit Wine, and some spiritual beast meat, and it was also cooked food.
Is this the ghost king’s birthday?
If one didn't know the identity, one would really think that this was the birthday of some emperor in the world.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat. I have to go out to invite some passing guests." The old man led Chen Ke to a table, said a few words to them, and left the hall again.
Chen Ke and three people were sitting at a table. Wan Ying curiously looked at the spiritual delicacies on the table, and Sun Donglai was even more surprised.
"Fellow Taoist, have we come to the palace of a ghost king? Or have we arrived at the mansion of an immortal?" Sun Donglai was a little confused. A ghost king celebrated his birthday with the etiquette of a living person.
Who would believe it if I told it?
Chen Ke looked at the ghost king. She was sitting on a dragon chair, her face was slightly cold, and her eyes were filled with indifference, as if she was indifferent to everything in front of her.
This made Chen Ke feel very strange. Why did the ghost king still look unhappy when celebrating his birthday?
"Isn't this place a little different from ordinary ghost nests? At least I don't feel the bloody atmosphere in this ghost nest. There is even very little karma here. Although the ghosts here are resentful, they don't feel any hatred towards anyone. People develop a kind of hostility." Chen Ke said how different this place is.
Sun Donglai was slightly surprised and asked, "What do fellow Taoists mean?"
"The ghost nest here should be a force established according to the monastic sect, not a ghost nest built according to the rules of Yinfeng City." Chen Ke said.
Ghost lair, what kind of place is that? A place where evil spirits gather, where all kinds of riots and resentments gather. Even a normal soul will turn into a bloodthirsty evil ghost if it stays inside for a long time.
How could a living person dare to enter this kind of place?
Chen Ke felt that even a practitioner with a strong will in the realm of condensing pills, if he entered a ghost nest, his mind would be affected by the aura in the ghost nest if he stayed there for a long time.
But in this haunted house, in this palace, there is no trace of resentment or violence, but a feeling of dullness and nothingness.
It can only be seen from the outside that this palace is a magnificent palace, showing the noble status of the owner.
"Fellow Taoist, were you invited here too?"
Several practitioners came next to him. Their cultivation was only at the late stage of Daoji Realm. They seemed very nervous. They seemed to sense that there was a living person on Chen Ke's side, so they came closer.
"Exactly, fellow Taoists, you were also invited to congratulate the Ghost King on his birthday?" Sun Donglai said with a smile. He is in the Golden Core realm and uses his spiritual power to suppress the cold ghost energy on his body. Outsiders cannot detect whether he is a human or a ghost. .
Several people thought he was a living person.
This is Yinfeng City, and there really are no ghosts who can hide their aura and pretend to be alive on purpose. In this way, it is easy to be attacked by other evil spirits and easily killed by mistake!
Several people were chatting with Sun Donglai. They were originally members of the Anti-Ghost Alliance in another big city. This time they went out to a nearby town to select good talents with good talents to join the Anti-Ghost Alliance.
When Wan Ying heard about the Anti-Ghost Alliance, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "I've heard your legends. You guys saved a big city again. It's really amazing!"
"Hahaha, just so-so." One of them said with a smile.
The other person had a look of pity on his face: "It's just that I was powerless and could only protect one city."
"I believe you will become more and more powerful and eventually drive out the evil spirits from the Dark Wind City!" Wan Ying cheered them on.
As long as he is an enemy of a ghost, he is always Wan Ying's friend.
"We will do it. I think you have good cultivation, little Taoist friend. You are already at the early stage of the Taoist realm at such a young age. Why not join our Anti-Ghost Alliance and fight against the evil ghosts with us!" A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance looked at Wan Ying. , smiled and sent an invitation to Wan Ying.
Wan Ying glanced at Chen Ke, who was silent, shook her head and said, "Master and I still have something to do, so I can't join you."
"Master, is this fellow Taoist wearing a mask your master?" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ke and smiled, "Fellow Taoist, my name is Su Enci, and he is a deacon of the Anti-Ghost Alliance. I don’t know which city you are from?”
"We are from Danyu City." Wan Ying said.
"Danyu City? Fellow Taoist, are you kidding me? Duanyu City is more than two thousand miles away from here. How did you get here?" Another man with a short beard looked at Wan Ying in surprise.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Young fellow Taoist is just joking, don't think too much about it."
"We are really from Danyu City." Wan Ying said again, she didn't want the other party to think she was a liar.
The other party was immediately surprised, and Sun Donglai also smiled and said: "She is right, we are indeed coming from Danyu City."
"Fellow Taoist, did you encounter any evil spirits blocking the way on this road?" the short-bearded man asked.
Sun Donglai said: "We encountered a lot of them, but we were walking during the day. They were all evil ghosts with weak cultivation, and we defeated them."
"Fellow Taoist, you are really amazing. I can't understand your cultivation level, Friend Taoist. What realm are you in, Friend Taoist?" the short-bearded man asked Sun Donglai.
Sun Donglai said with a smile: "I am just an ordinary person in the realm of condensing pills."
"Coal Condensation Realm!" The other party was suddenly startled, and his eyes changed when he looked at Sun Donglai.
Among the cultivators of Yinfeng City, the highest state that a living person can reach is the early stage of the Dan Condensation Realm. If you practice higher, evil ghosts will attack the city.
This is the reason why Yinfeng City Kingdom rarely sees practitioners in the middle and late stages of the Condensation Realm. It is also the result of the evil ghosts maintaining the existence of living people but not giving them a chance to grow.
When they first heard about a strong man in the realm of condensation, several people became more interested in Sun Dong.
The middle-aged man who invited Wan Ying asked Xiang Chen Ke: "Fellow Taoist, are you also in the realm of condensing pills?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "It's not the realm of condensing pills."
They couldn't see through Chen Ke's cultivation and thought that Chen Ke, like Sun Donglai, was a practitioner in the realm of condensation. After hearing what Chen Ke said, a few people decided that it was appropriate.
"Does Fellow Taoist have any magic weapon on his body? Why can't we see through Fellow Daoist's cultivation?" the middle-aged man asked.
Chen Ke said: "A talisman for self-defense and isolation from spiritual power detection is not a treasure."
These people felt that Chen Ke and his group were extraordinary, and they chatted more.
The others were not living people, but big ghosts, turning their heads to look at Chen Ke from time to time.
