The netherworld is the same as the main world. The distribution of yin energy and spiritual energy is extremely uneven. The closer it is to the land of nothingness, the more barren and desolate it becomes, similar to the mortal realm of the main world.
In a place like this, there is no need for others to kill. Without enough Yin Qi nourishment, the realm of ghost cultivators will slowly fall, and eventually they will become mortal ghosts and remnant souls.
After drifting in the void for so long, both humans and ghosts were a little tired. After dealing with the evil ghosts, they were ready to take a rest before going on the road.
Xu Wen tried meditating for a while, but the spiritual energy was very thin. When practicing in a place like this, reaching the second level of Qi Refining is the limit.
Moreover, a very small amount of spiritual energy also contains an extremely cold breath, which is what people often call ghost energy and yin energy.
Just like fire spiritual energy and water spiritual energy, it is of course great for those who practice the corresponding techniques, but it will be extremely uncomfortable for those who practice other techniques.
After trying it for a while, he stopped torturing himself and returned to the Mysterious Cave.
At this time, the benefits of the cave are revealed. The outside is barren and desolate, but the mysterious cave is still full of spiritual energy, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
The Nether World is also a big world. Although the spiritual energy here is thin, there is always some. Xuanji Cave can continuously absorb spiritual energy from all around, ensuring that the level of spiritual energy in the cave does not fall.
This kind of absorption is absorbed through the space barrier level. It is not a spell, but a law, and cannot be detected at all.
As for the Yin energy that follows the spiritual energy, thanks to Bat Ghost Buwei's formation, it has been concentrated in the Ghost Spirit Platform and will not have much impact on other places.
After more than 20 days of quiet practice in Xuanji Cave, Xu Wen recovered his skills and came out of seclusion. He felt that his cultivation had improved again.
Witnessing the masters of Yuan Shen fighting against each other, being swept into the outer starry sky, and passing through two barriers into the Netherworld is dangerous to say the least, but it is also a great training for cultivators.
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. It is precisely because of many hardships that we can overcome obstacles and climb to the top bravely.
With this hard work, both his vision and understanding of Taoism have become much deeper, and his cultivation will naturally progress faster.
It's ridiculous that there are still people in this world who think that they can live for thousands of years by hiding in a place where no one is seen, until they can see each other forever.
After it was almost repaired, Xu Wen immediately left the Xuanji Cave and headed towards Youmeng Ze.
Although he had the Ghost Suppression Tower in hand, due to many restrictions, he had to make the journey in person.
The Wangui Yinchi is a one-way passage. You can pass through it when entering the Netherworld. If you want to leave, you must think of a new way.
It is definitely impossible for low-level ghosts to know the way back to the Xuanhuang world. They can only find the cruel ghost who likes to devour his companions.
By running the Beiming Sutra, his body was like a rainbow, cutting through the gloomy dark clouds and flying away.
The breath of flesh and blood creatures immediately attracted the covetousness of countless ghosts. From time to time, many ghosts rushed out from the broken cliffs and valley bottoms, roaring and screaming at him.
But none of them could fly to the height where he was. They could only follow him below, watching his breath and swallowing.
The further east you fly, the stronger the aura becomes and the more ghosts there are. Occasionally, you can encounter villages where ghosts gather.
However, it is rare to see high-level ghosts. Presumably, as the hungry ghost said, they were all swallowed up by the cruel ghost.
After Mo Yue flew five thousand miles, Xu Wen lowered his head to escape. He didn't know much about the Great Ghost. If the other party's perception was astonishing, he would be in trouble if he discovered it in advance.
Just as he was flying over a valley at low altitude, a thin layer of black light suddenly rose up, covering him at one end. It turned out to be a formation.
At the same time, several ghosts appeared together, with long saliva trailing from the corners of their mouths, as if the monsters in Journey to the West saw Tang Monk's meat and just wanted to take a bite.
This place is completely different from the main world, and the fluctuations in mana are also very different. These ghosts thought that he must not be aware of it, and they would definitely have a feast this time.
In the Netherworld, Yin rises and Yang declines. Even if the ghost itself is dominated by Yin energy, it still needs a certain amount of Yang energy to balance it.
The yang energy in flesh and blood creatures is a great tonic for them, so they are extremely eager for flesh and blood creatures.
However, they hit the iron plate today. There was a bat ghost beside them, and Xu Wen had already discovered them.
Zhengchou had no source of information, so they sent it to his door.
Not bothering to fight with them, Xu Wen directly summoned the bat ghost.
The bat ghost didn't say much. He suddenly raised his hand and said, "Pah, pah, pah..." with a few big slaps, turning the charging ghost into a rolling gourd.
The predecessor of Nascent Soul, Jin Dan, appeared to deal with a few lonely ghosts who couldn't follow him. Any more waves would be an insult to him.
Pointing at the ghost with the clearest ghost body, the bat ghost shouted coldly:
"Tell me, what are you hiding here to do?"
Looking at the old god Xu Wen who was at ease, and then looking at the majestic bat ghost, none of the ghosts knew what their relationship was.
But the bat ghost was difficult to get along with at first glance. The ghosts did not dare to ask more questions. The ghost he designated stood up tremblingly and whispered:
"The Great Ghost is too domineering. We are discussing how to fight against it!"
"Snapped!"
The bat ghost slapped the opponent again, causing the opponent's ghost body to become a little loose, and shouted sternly:
"Only you crooked people dare to fight against He's cruelty. It's not even enough to tie you up with a rope, so I'll tell you the truth!"
Ghosts are not honest and straightforward creatures, they are bloodthirsty and insidious, but bat ghosts are the evil among evil people, and they can be cured just right.
The ghost was almost beaten to death. Seeing that the bat ghost wanted to fight again, he shouted anxiously:
"I said, I said, it was a golden elixir ghost who wandered here and took a fancy to Youmengze, so he gathered us together and prepared to destroy Helu together."
This statement is somewhat believable. The Netherworld is far poorer than the main world, and the battles between ghosts are even more cruel.
Youmengze sounds like a spiritual place, so it is normal for other ghosts to compete for it.
"What kind of cultivation level does the other party have?"
"When will we meet again?"
"How did you get in touch?"
"What does Youmengze look like and what does it produce?"
…
After asking all the questions, Bat Ghost winked at Xu Wen and stepped aside.
The ghosts looked at each other, not knowing what this meant, then heard the flesh-and-blood creature smiled at them and said:
"This place is really too barren, let me take you to a good place to enjoy yourself!"
Although ghosts are generally not very intelligent, they are not fools. They felt bad when they heard this, and they all jumped up into the sky and ran away.
Then the flesh-and-blood creature spread its hands, and a small black tower slowly flew out.
With just one glance, the ghosts felt a chill that went straight into their hearts, as if they had encountered a nemesis, they screamed and ran in all directions.
With a chuckle, Xu Wen activated his magic power, and a golden halo of light quickly swept across the group of ghosts.
All the ghosts that were swept away were unable to move, and then quickly shrank one by one and fell into the Ghost Suppression Tower.
There are about ten more foundation-building ghosts, although for Xu Wen now, the direct effect of these ghosts is not great.
But in order to fully exert the effect of the ghost-suppressing tower, these ghosts are indispensable.
After cleaning up these lonely ghosts, Xu Wen escaped into the Xuanji Cave and waited for the golden elixir ghost to arrive.
Uncharacteristically, he took the initiative to provoke ghosts from all sides. This was not a reckless move, but the result of careful consideration.
If you want to find a passage back to the Xuanhuang World in the Netherworld, it will not be achieved overnight.
And if he stays in the underworld for one more day, he will be exposed for one more day.
With the strength of his golden elixir master, he used the invisibility technique, but was almost discovered by a foundation-building ghost who was half-starved to death. This netherworld was extremely unfriendly to flesh and blood creatures.
The only way to fight against danger is to strengthen one's own strength.
In addition to practicing diligently, the fastest way to improve your strength is to fill up the ghosts in the Ghost Suppression Tower.
If this treasure is completely repaired and the eight golden elixir ghosts come out, let alone those demons and monsters, even if the ghost king comes in person, he can confront it head-on.
Not counting the foundation-building ghosts, the current fourth floor of the Ghost Suppression Tower is still missing seven golden elixir companion ghosts, and the tower is still short of five golden elixir ghosts, for a total of twelve.
Although the ghost-suppressing tower is unparalleled in its magic, golden elixir ghosts are not a piece of cake. If Xu Wen were to show off in a big way, he would probably attract the attention of the ghost king in a few seconds.
I don’t know how many ghost kings there are in this Nether World, but they are definitely more than the human Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if all the treasures in his body are used up, how many of them can be killed?
Therefore, everything must be done quietly. This kind of lonely ghost Jindan who fights for a territory is naturally the most suitable target.
Ten days later, Xu Wen appeared quietly, raised his hand to summon the ghost-suppressing tower, and buried it in the place where the ghosts were meeting that day. Only the top of the tower was exposed.
He himself activated the Earth Escape Technique and escaped into the deep underground.
There is also earth in the Netherworld, although its composition is somewhat different from that of the main world.
Only in this way can the scent of flesh and blood creatures be slightly concealed, and with the ghost-suppressing tower attracting firepower, there is no risk of being exposed for a while.
As for whether the opponent will take the bait, unless he is blind, it is impossible for a ghost to be indifferent to the Ghost Suppression Tower.
Even if the other party suspects it's a trap, those poor guys with only their pants on can't help but fall for the bait.
Once he enters the golden elixir, he becomes extraordinary. Even though he has the ghost-suppressing tower in hand, Xu Wen must be careful and try to take down the opponent as quickly as possible, so as not to alarm He Lu.
Two hours later, a dark cloud came straight towards the valley. When they reached the valley, they discovered the top of the Ghost Suppression Tower buried in the soil.
In such a poor and humble place, when encountering such a ghostly spirit, this Jindan ghost master didn't even think about it, he reached out and grabbed the top of the tower to take him into his pocket.
This small pagoda weighs ten thousand kilograms, and with his cultivation level, he can't even pull it out.
The ghost was not surprised but happy. The more precious the thing, the more strange it was. It was obviously a treasure if it was extremely heavy.
After putting away the driving cloud, the ghost appeared, holding the top of the tower tightly with both hands, and pulled it up with force.
The pagoda came out in response. It was unfathomably deep yet gleaming. It was indeed a treasure, but why were there four ghosts falling below?
He was startled and instinctively felt bad, but the four ghosts of Bat Evil Nian Yang stood up together and grabbed his arm firmly.
