Hades.
This is a magical world that does not belong to any independent world, but is related to both the upper and lower worlds.
The supreme rulers of heaven are the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven, who are in charge of all affairs in the three realms. The three realms here do not refer to the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans, but the heaven, earth, immortality, and underworld.
The three thousand mundane worlds in the lower realm are not under the control of heaven, just like humans will not pay attention to the ant kingdom, because the three thousand mundane worlds in the lower realm are too insignificant compared to heaven.
In the past, Heaven was still connected to the three thousand mundane worlds, and some mountain gods, water gods, earth gods, etc. were enshrined. However, the connection was gradually lost.
The supreme rulers of the underworld's underworld are the Emperor of Hades and the Empress of Samsara, who are in charge of the underworld. Under them are the five emperors, the ten palaces of Yama, the four great judges and countless ghost servants, and their residence is the underworld.
The underworld is in the heaven, the earthly immortal world, and the three thousand mortal worlds. It can be said that the underworld is everywhere, but it is inseparable from other worlds.
After Jiang Chen burned his magic power, body, and soul, his three souls and seven souls became rootless duckweeds.
At this moment, with a thought in his mind, he took out the ghost spirit bead and placed his three souls and seven souls in the ghost spirit bead. The ghost spirit bead accidentally came to the underworld through countless void cracks. among.
Jiang Chen's three souls and seven souls reunited with the help of the ghost spirit beads and turned into ghosts.
"This is where?"
Jiang Chen woke up from the boundless darkness. He opened his eyes and found that he was in a very simple thatched house.
"This is the underworld, what the world calls the underworld."
A little girl with braids suddenly poked her head out, looked at Jiang Chen who was lying on the simple wooden bed with wide eyes, and replied.
Then, she asked again:
"Brother, are you from the underworld?"
"Do you still remember what happened in the underworld?"
"Is there anything fun in the world?"
"You have been unconscious for a long time. Grandpa said that if you don't wake up, you will be buried in a hole."
"Brother, what's your name?"
"Why did you fall from the sky and not come in through the City of Undead?"
"Brother, what were you before you died? Were you a demon, a demon, a human, or an immortal?"
"..."
Jiang Chen suddenly felt like he had a headache. The three or four year old little boy in front of him was really annoying. He asked him so many questions in one go and didn't even give him a chance to answer.
"Nanny, stop talking nonsense here."
"Be careful of evil spirits coming to eat you!"
An old voice came, and an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties came in from the door. Then he glanced at Jiang Chen and said:
"Young man, you're awake."
Jiang Chen wanted to get up, but felt that his body was weak. Just when he got up, he fell down on the bed again.
"Young man, you are still too weak now. Your soul power is too weak. You still need to rest. It will be good to absorb and refine more Jiuyou Qi. This is the case for all people who have just started to become ghosts."
The old man quickly helped Jiang Chen upright, let him lie down, and spoke.
"Old man, I just heard my little sister say that this is the underworld?"
"Did I become a ghost after my death?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"In fact, most living beings will completely dissipate after death, with both form and spirit destroyed. However, there are a very small number of living beings, or some powerful practitioners who can ensure that their souls remain immortal and become ghosts after death."
"But these people are all lonely ghosts. They need to be picked up by the underworld. After crossing Huangquan Road and Naihe Bridge, they drink Mengpo soup and erase their past memories before they can enter the underworld."
"In addition, some lonely ghosts were directly killed or refined by powerful monks in the underworld, so there are only a handful of creatures that can become ghosts and enter the underworld."
"In addition, when we enter the underworld, we start a new life. In the underworld, we are not lonely ghosts, but ghosts, the same as humans, monsters, demons, etc."
"You can marry a wife and have children here, and start a new ghost life. In addition, the life of the ghost tribe is relatively long, but the longevity is not as long as imagined. Ordinary people will die after living for three to five hundred years, and they will disappear. Only Only those powerful ghost cultivators can have long lives."
"In short, there is actually no difference between the underworld and the earth. However, you have to be careful of evil ghosts in the underworld. They devour each other in order to become stronger and have turned into complete monsters."
"in addition……"
The old man could tell that Jiang Chen had entered the underworld not long ago, so he told Jiang Chen all the basic information about the underworld. He also saw that Jiang Chen was not a soul that entered the underworld through formal channels. He was a stowaway, so to speak. Entered the underworld by mistake.
Because if he entered the underworld through formal channels, ghost messengers would have informed him of these things.
However, since the Emperor of the Underworld and the Empress of Samsara disappeared, the Emperors of the Five Directions, the Yamas of the Ten Palaces, and the Four Great Judges each took their own responsibility. There have been constant melees, and many upstarts in the underworld have emerged. Today's underworld has long been in complete chaos, and no one is really To manage these stowaways.
If it had been the time when Emperor Hades and the Empress of Samsara were still there, stowaways like Jiang Chen would have been captured by ghosts, forced to drink Meng Po soup, and tortured for a period of time in the eighteenth level of hell before they could be released. Put into the underworld.
"The underworld, I didn't expect that I would come to the underworld, but I probably didn't really die, but my soul left my body. If I can find my physical body, I might be able to be reborn against the odds."
"But when I fought against Heaven, I sacrificed my mana, body, and spirit. Now that I think about it, there may be no place for my soul in the entire world."
"But if you can become a ghost cultivator, become stronger step by step, become a ghost immortal, or even become a being like the Emperor of the Underworld, whether you have a physical body or not is secondary."
"The attribute panel cannot be activated for the time being. Fortunately, I still have the exotic treasure Ghost Spirit Pearl. Now the Ghost Spirit Pearl has transcended the category of fairy treasure and has become a real fairy-level exotic treasure!"
"The ghost spirit bead has four major functions: precise strike, control of ghosts, concentration of ghost realm, and ghost cultivation bonus. I will use this ghost spirit bead to create a world in the underworld!"
"Maybe we can meet our old friends again in the future."
"It's a pity that the main task of breaking through to the True Immortal and helping the world to be promoted has not been completed. Otherwise, I should have learned the supreme magical power of mediating creation by now!"
"That's all, let's take it one step at a time. Set a small goal first and strive to become a ghost fairy first and have a place in the underworld!"
Jiang Chen used the power of his soul to communicate with the ghost spirit bead silently, and the ghost spirit bead bloomed with a faint blue light in his body. The Nine Nether Qi floating between heaven and earth was continuously integrated into Jiang Chen through the traction and refining of the ghost spirit bead. dust in the body.
Jiang Chen felt a trace of power slowly spreading out of his body, and the feeling of being in control came back a little bit.
In just three days, Jiang Chen absorbed enough of the Nine Netherworld's Qi, integrated it into the three souls and seven souls, and condensed his ghost body. From the outside, it looked no different from a flesh and blood body.
"Jiang Chen, you are a very extraordinary person. This is definitely not your place. After this meal, you should leave here."
A month later, the old man suddenly said to Jiang Chen at the dinner table.
"I understand, old man. Thank you for your life-saving grace."
Jiang Chen stood up, bowed his hands and said.
"You don't have to thank me. The outside world is wonderful, but it's also very dangerous. If you go out alone, you must be more careful."
The old man helped Jiang Chen up and spoke seriously.
"I understand."
Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this.
This is a very remote small village, which belongs to Wujian City and is the territory of Wujian Ghost King.
Nowadays, the underworld is in a period of separatist rule and melee. The Emperor of Hades and the Empress of Samsara are missing. The Emperors of the Five Directions, the Yamas of the Ten Palaces, and the Four Great Judges have established themselves one after another. For a time, old and new forces alternate, and melees continue throughout the underworld.
This is a scene of troubled times!
However, as the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times. Jiang Chen feels that the more chaotic the underworld is, the more he can take advantage of the chaos to rise.
In the past month, Jiang Chen combined some of the ghost cultivation methods he saw in the human world to create a cultivation method that directly leads to the realm of ghosts and immortals.
Although his realm is no longer there, his vision is still there. The essence of cultivating ghosts and cultivating people is to refine energy and improve oneself, so that the body can continuously evolve and transform, and finally achieve the path of becoming an immortal.
During the 800 years that Jiang Chen was in seclusion at Fuyao Mountain, he had discussed ghost cultivation with Di Hao and others. However, there were inevitably some problems in cultivating ghost cultivation. At that time, it was only at the theoretical stage and had not been put into practice.
Now it's time to put it into practice to see if his self-created "Underworld Technique" is up to standard.
Due to their limited understanding of ghost cultivation, everyone only deduced the "Art of the Underworld" to the level of becoming an immortal, and there was nothing else above.
But it was enough for Jiang Chen for now.
The journey of ghost cultivation is divided into five realms: Ghost Soul, Gathering Soul, Guiyi, Xuanling, and Hedao. After Hedao, you will reach the realm of ghosts and immortals!
Ghost souls absorb and refine the energy of the Nine Netherworlds to strengthen their souls, especially the three souls of heaven, earth and humans. At this time, they can mobilize the weak power of the Nine Netherworlds to attack. In fact, they are weak chickens and may not be as powerful as some thousand-year-old ghosts.
Gathering souls is to unite seven souls into one, and Jiang Chen's seven souls had already merged into one when he entered the realm of true immortals, so he took this step directly, saving a lot of time.
After that, the three souls and seven souls merged into one, completely transforming into a pure ghost body. At this time, it was considered that he had his own real body, and it was still a ghost body.
Therefore, only those who have reached the Guiyi Realm can be considered a truly qualified ghost clan. After that, they can become Xuan Ling, who can practice Nine Nether Mysterious Powers and various ghost magic powers. Only at this time can ghost cultivators be regarded as the supreme power over all living beings. able!
As for the Hedao realm, it is based on mastering the powerful power and magic to comprehend the underworld, improve one's soul realm, sublime one's soul, and gain supreme soul power!
If you are in the Hedao realm, you can be called the ghost king of one side. If you make a breakthrough at the peak of Hedao, you will be the ghost immortal. If you rule one side, you can be called the ghost emperor.
There are five ghost emperors under the Hades Emperor, but there are more than just five ghost emperors in this huge underworld. Anyone who becomes an immortal through ghost ways can be called a ghost emperor!
In fact, no one knows how many ghost emperors there are in the underworld at present, but they only know that the number is definitely not a few.
It is more difficult for ghosts to become immortals than for other creatures to become immortals, but the underworld is too big and there are too many creatures in the underworld. With such a large base of creatures, it is understandable that some ghost emperors will appear.
After Jiang Chen's condition stabilized, he said goodbye to the old man and headed to Blackstone Town, which is the nearest mountain village here.
Wujian City, where the Wujian Ghost King lives, is very powerful, and there are powerful ghost cultivators everywhere in it. Considering Jiang Chen's current state, it is better not to provoke them as much as possible.
He planned to go to Blackstone Town to inquire about the news, and then find a place rich in the spirit of the Nine Netherworlds to upgrade his cultivation to the Soul Gathering Realm or even the Guiyi Realm to condense into a real ghost body before contacting the ghost cultivators in this world. .
He wanted to leave this world, but he didn't know how to leave. Although an old man from the mountain village popularized the situation of the underworld for him, after all, he was just an ordinary ghost, just like an old man from an ordinary village in the fairy world. They have lived long enough to understand some unknown things about this world.
But a lot of their information comes from hearsay, so it's not accurate.
Jiang Chen still needs to truly understand what this world is like.
"The peak of ghosts has arrived!"
"Although I have never started ghost cultivation, there are thousands of paths in the world that all lead to the same destination. Moreover, I have the supreme fairy spirit and rare treasure ghost spirit beads to assist me in my cultivation, so my cultivation speed will definitely increase by leaps and bounds."
"Fortunately, when I was going through the heavenly tribulation, I didn't forget to refine the ghost spirit beads, the six-path demon pupils and the fairy creation pen, turning them into true fairy-level rare treasures."
"The True Immortal Grade Treasure may not be of much use to me after my breakthrough, but it is of great benefit to me who is like a lonely ghost now."
"An unintentional move turned out to be my life-saving nemesis. It's really time and destiny!"
"The realm of ghost souls is to absorb and refine the energy of the nine ghosts to strengthen the soul, especially the three souls of heaven, earth and human beings. Now that my power of the nine ghosts has been tempered by the ghost spirit beads, it has become far superior to the same level, even for thousand-year-old ghosts. I can easily kill him in front of me!"
"According to what the old man said, Blackstone Town is about a hundred miles away from the mountain village. I want to break through to the Soul Gathering Realm before entering Blackstone Town, or even reach the peak of the Soul Gathering Realm in one go, so that I can have a certain amount of self-protection!"
Jiang Chen felt the blue power flowing through his soul body. He broke a branch to make a sword, and used the star sword technique. He swung out a sword with the power of Jiuyou as the source of power. Several towering trees in front of me were all chopped down by sword energy!
"The power is pretty good, let's make do with it!"
Jiang Chen hasn't met a serious ghost cultivator yet, so he doesn't know what level his strength ranks among ghost cultivators in the ghost realm, but it shouldn't be too bad!
Blessed by the power of Jiuyou, Jiang Chen walked as fast as flying, which gave him the illusion of entering the world of immortals for the first time, outsmarting the old Taoist Huang Ya, and then embarking on the path of spiritual practice.
History is always surprisingly similar, but even though the environment is different this time, he is still the invincible emperor who fights against the will of heaven and dominates the world of immortals. Compared with his former self, he is completely different.
On the way to Blackstone Town, he found a secluded place, ran the "Underworld Art", and directly broke through to the Soul Gathering Realm without any discomfort. With the blessing of the Ghost Spirit Pearl, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he could mobilize The power of Jiuyou has been greatly increased.
And because his seven souls were completely integrated into a whole, after entering the Soul Gathering Realm, he suddenly became a ghost cultivator at the peak of the Soul Gathering Realm. His body became more solid and he looked like a normal person. Generally speaking, you must know that many ghost cultivators who have entered the Guiyi Realm cannot do what Jiang Chen does.
After his strength improved, Jiang Chen felt very comfortable, and he continued to set off for Blackstone Town.
"Bro!"
"Brother in front, please stay!"
Suddenly, voices came from behind Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen looked back and saw that a beautiful middle-aged woman was walking towards him with a young girl in her mid-twenties.
Although the two of them were dressed plainly, they looked like hibiscus from clear water and were naturally free of ornaments. The mother and daughter standing together had a unique charm.
"It's good this time. Instead of a yellow-toothed old man, here comes a mother-daughter pairing of a beautiful country woman and a young girl!"
Jiang Chen looked at the mother and daughter walking towards him and smiled slightly, but the smile was a bit intriguing.
"What kind of old man with yellow teeth?"
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"My mother and daughter are from nearby mountain villages and went to Blackstone Town for shopping. I saw that my brother also took the road to Blackstone Town, so I wanted to go with him."
"The mountain road is difficult to walk, and evil spirits are haunted. My mother and daughter are also a little scared. I wonder if my brother can have mercy and go with us mother and daughter?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Chen with a charming smile on her lips. The daughter beside her was shy and lowered her head. Occasionally she raised her head to look at Jiang Chen, and then immediately lowered her head shyly.
"What a shame!"
"Don't you two guys know how to make your lies more decent?"
"First, I just passed through this area, and there are no mountain villages nearby."
"Second, the villagers in the mountain village are all simple, not as charming as you mother and daughter!"
"Third, you two weak women insist on going to the town to do shopping in the evening. Are you suffering from some serious illness?"
"Fourth, forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to say it!"
Jiang Chen waved his hands helplessly. With such poor acting skills, you really had no brains to deceive him, a peerless master who had lived for thousands of years!
Although he does not have the Six Paths Demonic Eyes, he still has the ability to see through walls. He can see through mere evil spirits at a glance!
"What a stupid boy, you actually saw through our identities. I wanted you to die immersed in the Tomb of Tenderness. Since you are so ignorant, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The delicate mother and daughter flowers instantly turned into two fierce ghosts. They had eight claws on their backs, like humanoid spiders, and countless tentacles stretched out from their bodies.
They have green faces, fangs, and eyes all over their faces, and they look extremely terrifying.
“I met a ghost in the underworld, and it’s been a long time since I’ve lived to see one!”
A flash of light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. He pointed his fingers like swords, his sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and he killed these two evil ghosts in three strokes, five by five, and two by two!
