The discussion about the projection of the underworld has also come to an end for the time being.
However, it seems that because of this incident, Emperor Zhanwu was truly convinced by Shi Chishang. Even though the latter had not completed his original bet, the former still began to show a certain amount of admiration in their subsequent interactions with him.
Of course, these are things for later.
After finishing the discussion, Shi Chishang first helped the Yin Beast King he had conquered to heal his injuries, and by the way asked them why they were being hunted.
It's strange that Ma Hanxue originally went to see the Yin Beast King with Niu Sanshan to see if the latter had gotten any information. However, they didn't expect to meet for a few words and suddenly met several ghost generals who were out hunting. Yin beast.
Originally, the idea of the Yin Beast King was that Ma Hanxue would cover his aura with illusions, and if he went out to say hello, he could be safely resolved.
Who would think that Ma Hanxue might as well capture them? These Yin beasts all live in Yinlong Gorge, and they must know more comprehensively than what the Yin Beast King has inquired about.
Who would have thought that these ghost general Yin beasts were followed by three Yin beast kings, but when Ma Hanxue and the others made a move, they immediately alerted the three Yin beast kings behind them, and finally had to flee for their lives.
When he saw Chi Shang looking at him, Ma Hanxue's old face turned red, and he argued, "Isn't it that I want to help get some information?"
Shi Chishang snorted twice and retracted his hand. The Yin Beast King also stood up weakly and nodded: "Thank you, Master."
"It's okay. By the way, have you inquired about the situation in Yinlong Gorge?" Shi Chishang waved his hand and asked.
The name of the Yin Beast King is Hei Ren. When Shi Chishang asked, it quickly replied: "I have heard a few things. During this period, a large number of Yin Beasts gathered in the Yinlong Gorge. It seemed that the Yin Dragon in the valley was summoning the surroundings. Subordinates, what are you going to do?"
Some time ago, Black Blade had found out that there was indeed a Yin Dragon with the rank of Ghost Emperor in Yinlong Gorge, which is why Yinlong Gorge was called this name.
Although Black Blade is the Yin Beast King of the top ghost king, it is nothing in this area. He has never joined Yinlong Gorge before. It was only this time that he found a few Yin Beast Kings he knew in order to gather information for Shi Chishang. , obtained this information on the pretext of wanting to join.
"What do you want to do?" Niu Sanshan's eyes narrowed and he said solemnly, "You don't want to attack us, do you?"
"Are you stupid, you idiot? If you want to deal with us, then Yinlong can do it himself, why should he summon his subordinates?" Ma Hanxue sneered.
Emperor Zhanwu pondered for a moment: "Maybe he wants to explore some area, or maybe he wants to deal with some big enemy?"
Wang Xialin smiled and said: "No matter which one it is, it will always be beneficial to us. Maybe we can fish in troubled waters and sneak into Yinlong Gorge."
Shi Chishang nodded lightly and said, "Let's do this for now. Let's go back. Before we go to Yinlong Gorge, I have something to tell you."
Seeing his serious expression, everyone nodded in agreement.
When they returned to Wanming Town, several ghost kings and ghosts sent messages to ask about what had just happened. Shi Chishang made up an excuse to fool them, and then led the group back to the inn.
When he arrived at Shi Chishang's room, Shi Chishang suddenly stopped at the door. He waited for Niu Sanshan and the others to walk in. When Wang Xialin was about to go in, he suddenly raised his hand: "Sister Xia Lin, I have something to do with them. We have personal matters to discuss.”
Wang Xialin was stunned for a moment, then snorted, turned around and walked back to his room.
Shi Chishang turned around and saw the black blade consciously left outside the door. He smiled, nodded and said, "You can watch the door for me first. I don't want you to know what happened this time. I will tell you later."
After seeing Shi Shishang summoning the projection of the underworld, Black Blade had already been convinced by this master, and now he fully agreed.
Afterwards, Shi Chishang walked into the room, closed the door and ordered Ma Hanxue to cover the room with illusions. He also started his soul thoughts, completely cutting off the possibility of the outside world snooping on the conversation inside the room.
Seeing how much effort he put into it, Emperor Zhanwu and the others knew that Shi Chishang was definitely going to say something big, so they all sat upright, even Niu Sanshan and Ma Hanxue, two living treasures, kept their mouths shut.
Coming to sit down in front of the four of them, Shi Chishang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What I want to tell you is very important and may be related to the foundation of your future. However, I am only concerned about myself at the moment. It has been successful, but I don’t know if it will work for you, so you have to think carefully.”
"Boss, what are you going to say?" Niu Sanshan asked confused.
Shi Chishang looked solemn and said slowly: "The last time I retreated, I understood a brand new system. I named it Soul Dao. It is a fusion of ghost Dao and underworld Dao. It can combine ghost energy and underworld energy. The side effects are completely offset, and the advantages of both can be combined..."
Speaking of this, Shi Chishang suddenly felt a faint roar ringing in his ears, like the rolling waves. It only lasted for a very short time and the sound was so soft that he thought it was his hallucination for a moment.
At this time, Ma Hanxue, Zhanwudi, Niu Sanshan, and Zhanwuchang all had pale faces of horror. Emperor Zhanwudi even lost his voice and said, "You have merged the ghost path and the underworld path?"
"Yes," Shi Chishang came back to his senses and nodded, "To be honest, I don't know how to describe the method of condensing the soul path, but when we signed the contract, your skills were absorbed by me, so I think , perhaps with the power of the contract, you can also feel the mystery of the soul path."
The four people in the room were stunned and speechless. After a long while, Ma sweated and stood up with a face full of ecstasy: "Boss, I love you to death!"
"Go away! Who wants your love!" Shi Chishang curled his lips in disgust and pressed down, "Sit down first, I will run the soul path first, see if you can feel it."
Seeing that the four people's expressions became serious, Shi Chishang also closed his eyes and activated his soul path.
In just a few seconds, all four of them, Zhan Wudi, Zang Wuchang, Niu Sanshan, and Ma Hanxue, felt an indescribable charm emanating from Shi Chishang's body.
If it were others, at most they could only feel it was somewhat mysterious, but the four of them all signed a life contract with Shi Chishang. Although it was a master-servant contract, after Shi Chishang deliberately broke the contract, the four of them immediately felt it. The mystery in that meaning.
With the soul as the core, it is all-encompassing. Ma Hanxue's bloodline talent for illusion, Niu Sanshan's wild power, Zhanwudi's purple-gold dragon energy, and Zhanwuchang's black and white origins are all within the tolerance of this meaning. .
As several people continued to feel the mystery of the Soul Dao, the aura on their bodies began to change, becoming peaceful and vast.
Although the various races of ghost beasts have developed the instinct to resolve ghost energy, after years of practice, a large amount of violent energy will still accumulate in the body. This is also the reason why the temperaments of the various races in the ghost world are far more violent than in other worlds. .
But at this moment, a vast universe seemed to have formed in their bodies, disintegrating the huge hostility in their bodies bit by bit. However, due to the lack of Styx water, the universe in their bodies was incomplete and seemed somewhat incomplete.
It wasn't until nightfall that Ma Hanxue was the first to finish his thoughts. Only then did he open his eyes. He had already stood up with excitement on his face: "Boss, I have to go to the River Styx."
"We'll go there together after they wake up. I'm going to go too." Shi Chishang pointed at the other three people and said with a smile.
Although Ma Hanxue was anxious, when he saw Shi Chi Shang speaking, he could only suppress his excitement and wait for the others to wake up.
Niu Sanshan was the second to wake up. He had exactly the same blood as Ma Han. He wanted to go to the River Styx as soon as he opened his eyes, but Shi Chishang persuaded him before he sat down again.
The third one to wake up was not Zhan Wuchang, but Zhan Wudi.
After being promoted to the Ghost Queen, Emperor Zhanwu's royal aura is full of strong tyranny, just like the tyrants in history. But at this moment, the tyrannical flavor in the king's aura is much lighter. Instead, the purple-gold dragon aura dominates. More majestic.
Zhan Wuchang was the last one to wake up. She was also extremely smart. When she opened her eyes and saw the other three people waking up, she quickly woke up and smiled sweetly: "I'm sorry to make you wait for me."
"Let's go!" Shi Chishang stood up, a smile of anticipation overflowing from the corners of his lips. Niu Sanshan and the four others also showed excitement. Even the cold and aloof prince Zhan Wudi also had a rare smile on his face. .
They couldn't help but be happy. Although it was only the first time they experienced the Soul Dao, the mystery within it made them gain a lot. Once they absorbed enough Styx water to make up the other half of the Soul Dao, they didn't know what level they would break through to. .
Shi Chishang opened the door, and Black Blade was guarding the door. Seeing this, he quickly said: "Master, that human woman said she had to go out for something."
Shi Chishang was startled, thinking about the woman with a sweet voice, her eyes were a bit complicated, and then nodded, took out the pen and paper from the Liuhe mirror, wrote a note and put it in Wang Xialin's room, and then took Niu Sanshan with him They left Wanming Town and rushed to Jiehe.
Each of the five major river basins is separated by a boundary river. It is said to be a boundary river, but in fact it can be called a sea. Unless one is at the Hades Emperor level, or has some kind of mobile tool, even a strong person second only to the Hades Emperor level will not be able to move. It takes nearly a hundred years to cross a boundary river.
Wanming Town is only about thirty miles away from the Boundary River. With the speed of a few people, they have reached the bank of the Boundary River in just a moment.
Except for the area where the human race's Yin spirit creates the sun, most places in the ghost world are so dark that you can't see your fingers all year round. But the Styx is different. When the Styx water evaporates into gas and rises, it will emit a faint fluorescence, whether it is mainstream Or tributaries, or even tributaries of those tributaries, like small streams.
And considering the area of the boundary river, the evaporating ghost energy is so huge that when viewed from a distance, there is a vast mist above the boundary river, just like daytime.
Because of the terror of the Styx River, even Yin beasts rarely come close to the water source of the ghost world unless necessary. This makes it much more convenient for Shi Chishang and the others, as they don't have to worry about being discovered by others.
Arriving at the River Styx, Shi Chishang looked around and said in a deep voice, "Let's practice separately! Black Blade, look around. If anyone approaches, wake me up immediately."
Black Blade agreed, and Niu Sanshan, Ma Hanxue and others couldn't wait to come to the river, use the secret skills inherited from their clan, and start to draw water from the Styx.
Shi Chishang chose a place far away from them, then sat cross-legged, unfolded his mind, and quietly submerged into the River Styx with the blessing of the soul path.
Sure enough, after comprehending the Dao of Soul and the Dao of Soul Evolution Sword, Shi Chishang has gained sufficient immunity to the River Styx. Although the Soul Sense will still sting a bit when it touches the River Styx, the force even the ancient giants can The power of digestion has no effect on him.
Feeling relieved, Shi Chishang closed his eyes and started using the Soul Evolution Sword Dao. In an instant, all kinds of principles, spells, and material essences contained in the nearby Styx River gathered together crazily, and were swallowed up by him in the soul palace, or Either the essence of matter is integrated into the soul, or countless Taoist spells are absorbed by the mirror soul seal, or the way of sword is used to assimilate various martial arts.
Although he was multitasking, Shi Chishang's devouring speed was not slow at all. When the various objects that were rolling in were still a few meters away from him, they had already decomposed on their own and were drawn by his soul.
