It was still noon when Zhang Yan returned to Duya Mountain, and he didn't spend much time in the ghost realm.
What I thought would take a lot of effort turned out to be extremely smooth.
The idea of spreading the ghost cultivator's path to the ghost realm was not Zhang Yan's whim. He had started planning this when he reopened the gate of Longhu Mountain in Duoya Mountain.
Because of the special merit aura in the Wild Sky Realm, ghosts are absolutely of great benefit to monks of Zhang Yan's lineage. Even if the disciples try to save themselves, 10% to 15% of their spiritual energy will be returned. The rest will be all on Zhang Yan's head.
This is a huge investment.
Since the benefits are so great, it naturally needs to be utilized to the maximum extent. Instead of spreading some ghost-catching bells like now, relying on feedback from various countries and then collecting some weak wild ghosts and fierce ghosts sporadically. This was a good gain before Zhang Yan entered the Return to God Realm, but now that he is in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm, the merit and spiritual energy from these gains are really not enough.
At that time, the Demon Clan had not yet appeared. Zhang Yan could think of ways to increase his cultivation speed besides pills, so he could only continue to think of ways to deal with the ghosts in the Wild Sky Realm.
In fact, if the ghosts in the demon world can also be used, the merit and spiritual energy obtained by Zhang Yan will be at least doubled, and the difficulty of this matter will not be too high. He only needs to continue to use the demon species as the middleman. Just connect between the Yaozu and the cliff mountain. Presumably the demon species definitely approves with both hands and feet.
However, the problem was that Zhang Yan's disgust with the demon clan made him give up the idea directly. Help the demon clan clean up ghosts? Forget it.
Since the merit and spiritual energy on the human territory alone is not enough, and we don’t want to help the demon clan, we should move our thoughts further and include places where ghosts gather.
The ghost realm is a place where ghosts gather in large numbers in the wilderness realm. A very dark place, caught in space, with no living creatures, and has its own social system. All this made Zhang Yan regard it as an alternative "underworld".
In Taoist books, the underworld is a "god-run institution" set up by gods to screen before reincarnation. Its function is to sort out all the souls before reincarnation. Those who do good are given preferential treatment, and those who do evil are punished. Make a summary of the cycle of life outside the way of heaven. At the same time, he also takes into account the responsibilities of guarding the boundary between yin and yang, such as catching evil ghosts and so on.
Even after the establishment of reincarnation, the underworld is not simply an "institution" in a sense, but a force that cannot be underestimated. And it is blocked at the critical point of the "ghost world". There are too many doorways. It's not like Zhang Yan, who only knows about it from Taoist books and myths and legends, can see everything clearly.
Zhang Yan's attempt to establish an underworld similar to the one roughly described in Taoist books is tantamount to wishful thinking and completely unrealistic. Not only does he not have that ability, but the Desolate Sky Territory does not have such conditions either.
What kind of world does the Earth's legendary era belong to? Zhang Yan didn't understand it before. Now, Chuhuangtianyu has a taste of it. It must be a big world, even the top big world. And what about the Desolate Heaven Realm? Not even a small world, not even a complete world.
But it is precisely because of the simplicity of the Wild Sky Realm that Zhang Yan can imagine the possibilities.
The most important power in the underworld in Taoist books is the institution established by the gods, which is the underworld. He also controls most of the power in the underworld and is responsible for direct communication with the underworld.
What Zhang Yan has to do is to bring the underworld to the wilderness. As for the bundle of obscure things behind and at the feet of the underworld, Zhang Yan does not need to rely on them.
As for the six paths of reincarnation. Those are high-end gadgets from the big world. The Wild Sky Realm doesn't have such a big spectrum. It's just an incomplete world on its own side, so there's no need for it.
But Zhang Yan's idea is to set up the underworld, and then gather all the fierce ghosts and wild ghosts in the wilderness from the source, and then deliver them in a unified way. When one appears, one will be caught and one will be saved.
Even Zhang Yan didn't need to think about the details, he could just copy the equipment from the underworld. All that is required is to sow the seeds and wait patiently.
There is no way to rush this matter. Just like the fierce ghost named Jiang Ziwen who was enlightened by Zhang Yan, even with the help of "Nine Nether Secrets", a ghost cultivation method treasured by Longhu Mountain Gate, it is not possible to truly grow up in a short while. See the results.
And Jiang Ziwen is the beginning. The ghost domain is so big, how many of the evil ghosts in it are like Jiang Ziwen?
"Xu Fengyang and Baronka...are they so difficult to fight in the God Realm?"
When going to the ghost realm, Zhang Yan didn't just satisfy his curiosity and then enlighten a fierce ghost. Another important thing is to go to the Ghost Realm to find some news about the situation in the God Realm.
Looking at the entire Wild Sky Territory, this is the only place where news from the God Realm can best be obtained. After all, according to Baronca, apart from him and Xu Fengyang guarding the God Realm, the only ones currently guarding the God Realm are these ghosts in the Ghost Realm, and they are expected to help provide support in the God Realm.
So after Zhang Yan met Jiang Ziwen for the first time, he stopped by to visit the nearby Lin Shengwang. I used Soul Seizing to gain a general understanding of the situation in the God Realm.
As this Lin Shengwang knows, the God Realm is very difficult to fight. The Yin Clan is not the same in the human world as it is in the God Realm. Not only is it a thousand times stronger, but it can't be more than a hundred times stronger. And facing the demon tribe, ghosts are of no use except to bring death. And the Yin clan is far more complicated than Zhang Yan saw with his own eyes.
"An ant nest?"
Those who compete with Baronca and Xu Fengyang in the God Realm are "soldier ants", and there is also a "mother body" that is said to have passed by but escaped. Those who ran to Xiaojiao Mountain were the "worker ants".
Zhang Yan didn't know that he and Xu Fengyang had reached a consensus on these ideas.
An alien creature that resembles an ant colony is indeed difficult to deal with. Especially as the Holy King whose soul was stolen by him knew, the God Realm was at a stalemate.
If it drags on, how long can Baronka and Xu Fengyang be able to stop it?
"Xu Fengyang and Baronca will probably have to find another way. Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to stop them if they continue." Zhang Yan raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky outside the cliff mountain, frowning slightly. If the divine realm is lost, it will not be a good thing for him. Even if he is planning a ghost realm, it will take time. Xu Fengyang and Baronca cannot fail now.
If that doesn't work, maybe he should go up and have a look?
But compared to the crisis in the God Realm. Zhang Yan also discovered another strange place.
"Since the mother body can continuously spew out "soldier ants" with stronger combat capabilities, why does it instead release "worker ants" with much weaker combat capabilities below the God Realm?
The division of labor among worker ants in the colony is not a battle. Don't let them attack, right? "
