After entering the underworld, the whole world feels different.
Qing Guanzi jumped out of the Gate of Yin and Yang, and just then stabilized his figure. He looked around cautiously, but when he saw Song Xiren's back in front of him, he felt much calmer.
This fellow Taoist is still here and nothing happened, which means that this place is safe for the time being.
That's good.
"Fellow Daoist Song, where is this?"
After calming down, Qing Guanzi looked ahead and asked Song Xiren, who seemed to have some knowledge of this place.
The latter shook his head: "I don't know where this is. Although the Yin Realm is like stars, each one is insignificant compared to the Yang Realm. But when compared with the Yang Realm in a subtle way, it is also small. It's vast.
The smallest underworld is thousands of miles wide.
The slightly larger ones are tens of thousands of miles away, which is comparable to a small country in the Yang Realm.
I just took a look and it seems that this underworld was just born, probably not more than three thousand years ago.
But even so, looking at the richness of the turbid yin energy here, it should be sixty or seventy thousand miles wide.
Even for me, it’s hard to see all of it. "
After becoming an immortal, a human immortal can mobilize the corresponding rules of heaven and earth within a hundred miles radius with a single thought, and use the power of heaven and earth for his own use.
Therefore, the limit of human immortal consciousness is a hundred miles at the beginning, and may reach two to three hundred miles when it reaches perfection, which is several times stronger than the starting point.
When you reach the Earth Immortal, you can turn the laws you have cultivated into your realm.
In the blink of an eye, the domain covers thousands of miles, and the domain itself can be compared to the way of heaven. It can mobilize the power of the domain to do whatever it wants. Within the scope of its ability, it can be said to be omnipotent.
Song Xiren is in the middle stage of Earth Immortal cultivation, and his domain coverage is much stronger than that in the early stage, reaching up to 1,500 miles.
But even so, it cannot completely cover the underworld, not even a few tenths of the underworld.
In this case, of course he couldn't figure out the situation when he just landed.
Being able to judge this information now is already extremely valuable.
Qing Guanzi also realized that what he asked seemed a bit too much. He smiled awkwardly, and then changed the subject and asked: "It's only sixty or seventy thousand miles away. Doesn't that mean that there is absolutely no chance that the King of Hell will be born in the underworld here?" Come.
Even the Ghost Emperor could be the only one who appeared in Tanfu City? "
Here in the Immortal Realm, the area of a small country can be more than 100,000 miles.
Normal ones usually have 150,000 to 60,000 li, and even 200,000 li are not uncommon.
As we all know, the best shortcut for a monk with five qi to become an immortal is to possess the number of national qi.
Therefore, becoming an immortal with the resources of a country has become one of the default conditions in the immortal world.
Although the Yin Realm is different from the Yang Realm, both belong to the Immortal Realm. The Yin Realm is a vassal of the Yang Realm, and the rules are basically universal.
Since the Yin Realm here is only 60,000 to 70,000 miles wide, it is almost equivalent to half the country on the Yang Realm.
The place is so big, there are so many resources, no matter how lively the shallow water is, how many real dragons can be raised?
I'm afraid that the emergence of the previous Ghost Emperor would be the limit of this world and would be considered a stroke of luck.
With the limited resources here, even if another Ghost Emperor could be born, the existing Ghost Emperor would probably not allow it.
After all, he also wants to practice.
The resources he originally occupied were only equivalent to the resources of half a human immortal cultivation in the Yang Realm, which was not enough for even his own use.
If there is one more person to share at this time, then don’t practice. Let’s all lie down together.
Moreover, originally there was only one Ghost Emperor in the underworld, and that was the one who dominated.
If there is a new one, the originally concentrated power will have to be shared with others.
How many normal and intelligent creatures would tolerate such a thing happening?
There was no time when the underworld was big enough when it was born, or when many ghosts grew up to check and balance each other, and there was no situation where one person was dominant.
Only then will there be a situation where several ghost emperors coexist.
This is obviously not the case here.
Because the resources here can support at most one Ghost Emperor.
Now that the Ghost Emperor has emerged, it naturally means that other competitors have been defeated.
The winner takes all, the winner takes all, the world is so cruel.
But this is undoubtedly a good thing for Qing Guanzi and the others.
The powerful underworld that was originally expected, but after arriving on the ground, it was discovered that it did not exist at all.
The enemy that needs to be faced has also changed from the expected supreme king of hell to the only ghost emperor.
The level of difficulty changed from hell to extremely easy in an instant.
Anyone else would be unable to help but think about having fun.
Song Xiren smiled and nodded: "As fellow Taoist thought, the only one we need to deal with this time to exorcise ghosts is probably the Ghost Emperor. As long as he is eliminated, the Dharma Assembly will be a success."
When he said this, he looked around.
At this time, many real people accompanying them had arrived in the underworld and gathered around the two of them.
Song Xiren's words were not just a reply to Qing Guanzi, but also meant for everyone to hear.
The purpose is to calm their hearts.
Sure enough, after hearing what the two real people said, the expressions of the other real people instantly became much more relaxed.
There is no King of Hell, only a Ghost Emperor who is equivalent to a human immortal.
For this class of enemies, let alone the two Earth Immortals, they could be beaten to death by just three or five of them with one punch and one kick.
That being the case, what else is there to be afraid of?
Everyone is shoulder to shoulder.
Qing Guanzi noticed the change in everyone's thoughts, so he followed the pole and said: "In this case, we don't need to be too cautious. Just follow the previous demon elimination in Xiaye Kingdom, everyone is divided into groups of two or three, scattered in In this underworld, let’s do some plowing and sweeping the holes first.
Clean up all the ghosts you see along the way.
If you encounter the Ghost Emperor on the way, send a signal immediately and we will come immediately.
Solve the matter here in the shortest possible time. "
Having said this, he paused, then remembered another purpose of this ghost exorcism ceremony, and added: "By the way, there was a true disciple of Dongyang Mountain before, in order to save hundreds of thousands of people in Tanfu City, He and many of his comrades fought desperately to resist the Ghost Emperor, and were finally dragged into the underworld.
If fellow Taoists see him, please save his life to prevent him from being harmed by ghosts. "
Song Xiren nodded and agreed: "Yes, these righteous men who stick to the right path should not die here."
The two reached a consensus and the tone was set.
Seeing this, many other real people looked at each other and responded: "I will obey the orders of these two real people."
Afterwards, each of the real people found one or two familiar Taoist friends, formed a small team, and flew to various places in the underworld.
As for Song Xiren and Qing Guanzi, they went to the center of the underworld.
The turbid and yin energy is the strongest there, and it is the place where the Ghost Emperor is most likely to be.
As team leaders, although the two confirmed that there were not many risks in this world, they still remembered their responsibilities and did not leave everything to their subordinates.
This biggest risk and task was taken on the initiative.
Walking in the underworld, what you see is a gray sky.
It's a bit like night, but there is no bright moon in the sky. It is empty and there are only pale clouds, covering the whole world.
On the earth, there is an endless dark wind, and I don’t know where it comes from. It comes from all directions.
Even underground, there will be an unknown wind blowing out from time to time, which is really hard to guard against.
These dark winds are not ordinary winds, they are a bit similar to the nameless winds that blow out of the body when the immortal achieves the Flower Path Fruit.
It's just that the nameless wind is formless and has no quality. It's just a concept similar to wind, and it only blows in the body of the immortal. It blows the immortal's Tao fruit. If it can't bear it, the Tao will destroy the body and die.
But the wind in the underworld only comes from the outside world, has form and quality, and blows the human soul form.
Suffering from the erosion of the evil wind, a person's energy, blood and soul will be attenuated all the time.
After a long time, it will be an ending where the vitality and blood decline and the soul is scattered.
This is not only the wind for living people, but also for ghosts.
Even without the protection of the body, the harm caused by the dark wind to the ghost is even greater.
Ordinary newly born ghosts may be blown twice by the wind, and then their souls will dissipate and turn into the ghost wind.
Therefore, Qing Guanzi and the two of them hardly saw a few ghosts wandering outside during their journey. The wilderness of the Yin world was even more desolate than the Yang world.
"This wind in the Yin world is actually the turbid air excreted from the Yang world towards the Yin world.
It's just that this turbid air is too strong and has not had time to dissipate into Yin air, which is dispersed in the heaven and earth in the form of air machines.
So for us, this kind of breath of heaven and earth is a bit too high-end and unbearable.
Immortals like us will feel uncomfortable when facing the energy of heaven and earth, let alone those ordinary ghosts.
Even though the turbid air is nourishment for them, the level is too high and cannot be absorbed without being dissipated.
Once the turbid air passes, not only can it not be absorbed, but it even turns into nutrients and is absorbed by the turbid air.
So you can see that many ghost souls were blown away by the evil wind that turned into turbid gas, and they flew away and turned into the evil wind.
Only ghosts who have practiced magic, possess supernatural powers, have strong souls, and have ways to deal with it can survive in the dark wind.
But even so, it actually cannot last long and survive outside this wilderness for a long time. "
On the way to the center of the underworld, Song Xiren saw that Qing Guanzi was a little confused, so he took the initiative to explain to him the customs of the underworld.
"So in order to survive in the underworld, some local ghosts, after observing the occurrence patterns of the underworld, will build settlements in areas where the underworld never appears, that is, where the yin and yang worlds are not connected.
When these settlements become large, they will turn into ghost cities, and ghost kings will live in the cities.
If there is a strong one among these ghost kings, he can defeat other ghost kings and conquer settlements one by one, and then connect them together to form a whole that contains a large area of special nodes in the underworld.
Because the location of each settlement city is itself a closed Yin world, it has a theoretical restraint and weakening effect on Yin energy.
And many cities in this kind of desperate situation are connected together, and if the various city defense formations are slightly connected, a large formation can be formed that covers a large area of the underworld.
Relying on this formation, the Ghost King can directly weaken the Yin wind transformed by the turbid air and dilute it into a state between the turbid air and Yin air that he can absorb.
If we insist on making an analogy, it is probably equivalent to the essence of the sun and the water of lunar yin that are transformed into high-level spiritual energy among our immortal sects.
Under the same weight, the refining efficiency and harvest of the sun are tens to hundreds of times that of ordinary spiritual energy, and it also has special effects and can assist cultivation.
The ghost king of the underworld can also extract the water of the underworld from the underworld wind by relying on this method.
This kind of spiritual water is harmful to my immortal cultivation, so I may only use it if I practice some special magical powers.
But for those ghosts, taking this kind of spiritual water to practice can not only increase their magic power, but also increase their success rate of breaking through the realm several times.
For the barren underworld, this is almost the best path for local ghosts to become true immortals.
Fellow Taoist, look ahead, there is a city in the underworld. Take a closer look, is there a formation inside it? Is this formation connected to other large formations? "
On the road the two were passing by, the outline of a city appeared in front of them.
The area is not large, only about ten miles around, but it is the first place where the ghosts are active that the two of them have encountered.
This is naturally eye-catching.
Qing Guanzi took a closer look and saw that the main body of the city was a city wall built with wind control spells inscribed on it. The dark wind outside the city blew over and hit the city wall, and was immediately isolated by a large number of wind-shielding runes.
Even in the city, a wind-control formation was established to create a safe sanctuary area.
With the strength of this formation, even if it encounters a powerful storm composed of dark wind, it is enough to withstand it.
However, the main ability of these formations is to withstand the evil wind.
In addition, there are very few protective abilities, which can only resist the attacks of ghosts with less than three qi. It is not enough to face ghosts with more than four qi and five qi.
This is reasonable.
For a barren land like the Yin Realm, a place used for excreting waste in the Yang Realm, it is already the limit to be able to scrape together the resources to build such a city and even equip it with a large defensive formation.
Asking for more will become too much.
However, Qing Guanzi didn't pay much attention to the city formation. His attention was still on the insignificant connection between the formation and the heaven and earth.
Yes, it’s connection.
Looking around, he could clearly see that the large formation in the city in front was continuously releasing a kind of spiritual radiation, like nodes in a network, extending out threads and spreading towards the outside world.
And above the outside world, there are other radiating points, which also extend silk threads to connect with these city formations.
Qing Guanzi hadn't noticed this before, so he didn't notice it yet.
At this time, Jin was reminded by Song Xiren, and he suddenly realized it.
One large array after another connected together, supporting a huge network that almost covered the entire sky.
The endless dark wind falling from the sky was first intercepted by this network when it reached the ground, and was intercepted somewhere in large quantities.
According to Song Xiren, it should have been used to refine the underworld water.
And he himself is only within the scope of this network.
Fortunately, this network is only for Yin Feng, and its ability is biased toward interception and assistance rather than early warning attacks.
Otherwise, they might have been noticed when they first stepped into the underworld, and then immediately mobilized a large formation that affected the entire underworld to attack.
After seeing clearly the environment he was in, Qing Guanzi couldn't help but rejoice: "Such a network is so tight. Fortunately, it is a non-killing formation."
Song Xiren looked at his frightened look and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you also know how special this underworld is, right? In fact, there is no need to be too afraid, because the underworld is barren and all kinds of resources are scarce. Even if such a large formation can be constructed, It is also difficult to give the formation much power.
Being able to intercept the evil wind is the limit.
It is not clear how much killing power the True Theory has.
For us true immortals, the only thing we need to guard against is actually the ghosts of the underworld. With the help of the large array, they gather a large amount of turbid air and wind to attack our bodies and souls.
But there is no need to be too afraid. Our immortal sect has a large number of magical powers that can isolate the evil wind, and there are also various magic weapons that are enough to resist such methods.
Therefore, for some purely closed underworlds, we don’t have to worry too much about the harm to us from external objects, such as formations and magic weapons.
The only thing to pay attention to is those ghost emperors and kings of hell who have become Tao fruits.
Those ghosts can pose a threat to us just by virtue of their cultivation. They are the real enemies. "
Song Xiren said a few words of relief, then thought of something, and added: "Of course, this is just a closed underworld. If there are some underworlds that have been captured by us and taken under our jurisdiction, or have been communicating with the outside world, The underworld is not included in this list.
With the supplement of external resources, a magic circle like the Yin Realm spread all over the world can be transformed from a simple interception array into a large array with multiple functions such as interception, killing, early warning, and assistance.
That's the real dragnet.
Once outsiders step into it, they will be caught in the murderous formation. Even Earth Immortals like us will die if we are not careful.
If fellow Taoists go to this kind of underworld in the future, they still need to be careful and not be careless. "
After hearing this, Qing Guanzi nodded solemnly: "I understand, I know. Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."
Seeing that he understood the importance, Song Xiren nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Now that the ghost city of the underworld has been discovered, it will be much easier to find the center of this world.
Follow the great formations connecting each city and go to the place where the dark wind is transported, and you will definitely find its core.
Let's seize the time, clean up the ghosts in this city, and then go find the Ghost Emperor. "
As he spoke, Song Xiren took out a green jade ball and threw it towards the ghost city ahead.
Yu Gui flew to the top of the city, and suddenly a green light shone brightly, and streams of fairy light shone down. Wherever he passed, the ghosts in the city had no time to react, and were directly turned into ashes by the fairy light.
In just one breath, thousands of ghosts in the city were swept away.
After doing this, Song Xiren reached out and took back Yu Gui. He looked back and said, "This city has been cleaned up. Let's go to the next place."
Qing Guanzi nodded and followed the opponent toward the nearest city in the city's formation network, close to the core.
After that, the two of them encountered seven more ghost towns along the way. They just cast a spell to them, cleaned them up, and continued on their way.
It wasn't until he flew thousands of miles that he found traces and arrived at the core of the underworld formation.
A huge city stretching for hundreds of miles, and within the city, a scorching sun that shot straight into the sky, transformed by the sword's will, fell into their eyes.
