“If we tell those powerful ghost cultivators what’s going on here, I’m afraid they’ll monopolize all the benefits of this living universe, and we won’t even get a sip. If we really have to choose, I think we should choose the second option…” A lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator said with a hint of resentment on his face.
“That’s right. If we really have to choose, I would also suggest choosing the second option!” Another lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator nodded.
“This matter is not as bad as you think. Don’t forget the Heavenly Dao Tower and the Blood Prison Sword. Each of these two magical treasures is incredibly powerful. If information about these two magical treasures were to spread, it would probably shake the entire Netherworld’s higher-ups…” The three-headed dog shook its head and said.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower and the Blood Prison Sword?" Upon hearing the three-headed dog's words, the other ghost cultivators' expressions changed, and they all took a slight breath, their eyes flashing with shock.
They didn't know the level of this Heavenly Dao Tower, but it was definitely not low. They just didn't know if it was suitable for ghost cultivators in the Netherworld to use. However, the Blood Prison Sword was a truly famous magic weapon in the Netherworld.
It is said that the legendary Blood Emperor was able to achieve such great success because of the Blood Prison Sword. If the information about the Blood Prison Sword were to spread throughout this universe of living beings, it would definitely shake the entire Netherworld's higher-ups.
"That sword, is it really the Blood Prison Sword?" Thinking of this, a low-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator still said with some uncertainty.
The Blood Prison Sword is the strongest magic weapon of the legendary Blood Emperor in the Netherworld. What kind of person is the Blood Emperor? Would the Blood Prison Sword really fall into the hands of a cultivator from a living universe?
“During this time, I have collected a lot of information about the Blood Prison Sword and have repeatedly studied the image and aura of that sword. That sword is 80 or 90% similar to the Blood Prison Sword. Even if it is not the Blood Prison Sword, it is definitely a magic weapon of extremely high level. In addition, the Blood Emperor has not appeared for hundreds of millions of years…” the three-headed dog said slowly.
“When we tell those powerful ghost cultivators about this, we don’t need to confirm that the sword is the Blood Prison Sword. Those powerful individuals will be tempted. In addition, the level of that sword is indeed not low, and there is also a Heavenly Dao Tower of an equally high level. They will not suffer any loss. On the contrary, they will gain a great deal, a very great deal. At that time, they may not care about the benefits of this living universe!” Finally, the three-headed dog said word by word.
"You don't value the benefits of this universe of living beings?" The lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators were stunned.
A captive land with thirty-six heavenly spirit universes—what a great benefit that would be! Who wouldn't want it?
"What level of power do you think I intend to tell about this universe of living beings? A superior saint? A peak saint?" the three-headed dog said with a cold laugh.
“Not a superior Saint King, but a peak Saint King, could it be…” A group of lower-level Saint King ghost cultivators said with a drastic change in expression.
"At least a ghost cultivator at the Saint King level! Preferably a powerful one among those Saint King ghost cultivators! This is an opportunity, a great opportunity! Perhaps, we can establish a connection with a powerful Saint King through this!" A glint of light flashed in the depths of the three-headed dog's eyes as he spoke, his tone tinged with excitement.
Despite having reached the Saint King realm, their strength is nothing in the Netherworld. Any powerful Saint King-level ghost cultivator can bully them. If they could establish a relationship with a powerful Saint King, who below the Saint King level would dare to bully them?
If that powerful Holy King were to entrust this universe of living beings to them, they might soar to great heights. Whether they would become Holy Kings in the future is hard to say, but they would certainly have a place among the powerful Holy Kings.
This is an opportunity, a huge opportunity.
"At least a ghost cultivator at the Saint King level..." The group of lower-level Saint King ghost cultivators all gasped in unison.
They were indeed shocked by the three-headed dog's words. Saint King-level powerhouses were too far removed from them, and for the moment, they hadn't considered telling the information about this living universe to a powerhouse of that level.
That being said, they were indeed short-sighted, only thinking about taking over this universe of living beings for themselves, without even considering sharing information about this universe with other, more advanced ghost cultivators.
Looking back now, it might have been a really good decision for them to tell the information about this universe of living beings to the Saint King-level ghost cultivators.
By establishing a connection with the Saint King realm ghost cultivator, that Saint King realm ghost cultivator then entrusted this universe of living beings to them...
If things were really like that, it would be perfect.
"Indeed, the information about the Blood Prison Sword will definitely tempt those Saint King-level ghost cultivators. If we share this information with them, we'll surely reap great benefits..."
"A living universe with thirty-six heavens is not bad, but it's nothing compared to a Saint King-level ghost cultivator. Perhaps they will not only bestow this living universe upon us, but also give us other benefits!"
"Why don't we tell this information to a Saint King-level ghost cultivator right now!"
Soon, the group of lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators realized what was happening and exclaimed excitedly that they had been tempted by the prospect described by the three-headed dog ghost cultivator.
"..."
Seeing the reaction of the group of lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators, the three-headed dog ghost cultivator was speechless.
"No rush, let's see if we can force Lin Yun out first..." After a pause, the three-headed dog ghost cultivator said.
“Brother Ao, why force Lin Yun out? What you said earlier is right. If we tell a Saint King-level ghost cultivator about what’s going on here, we might not only gain ownership of this living universe, but we might also get in touch with a Saint King-level ghost cultivator. Even if we gain less benefit, as long as we get in touch with a Saint King-level ghost cultivator, it’s a win. It’s better that Lin Yun doesn’t come out, so that he won’t run away if he does…” a lower-level Saint Monarch-level ghost cultivator said.
It doesn't matter if Lin Yun runs away, but if he takes the Blood Prison Sword with him, they will lose their greatest trophy.
“That’s right, Brother Ao. So much time has passed, and we still don’t know how much Lin Yun’s strength has grown. If something unexpected happens, it would be better if we told a Saint King-level ghost cultivator about what’s going on here now…” Another lower-level Saint Monarch-level ghost cultivator nodded in agreement.
The other lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators also looked at the three-headed dog ghost cultivator, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"Hmph! What do you know?" The three-headed dog demon cultivator looked somewhat embarrassed and snorted coldly.
"What I just said was all the good side. Do you really think there won't be any unexpected problems? It's certainly a good option for us to tell the information here to a Saint King-level ghost cultivator, but which of you can directly contact a Saint King-level ghost cultivator? If we convey the information through other ghost cultivators, can you guarantee that there won't be any unexpected problems?" the three-headed dog ghost cultivator said coldly.
“This universe has been connected with the Netherworld for several years. During this time, our changes and those of our subordinates in the Netherworld may have been noticed by ghost cultivators from other forces. If we were to actively contact some powerful ghost cultivators at this time and ask them to help us contact those Saint King-level ghost cultivators, perhaps before we could even make contact with them, those powerful ghost cultivators would discover the information about this living universe. At that time, would we be able to resist their invasion?” the three-headed dog ghost cultivator said in an icy tone.
"This..." Upon hearing the three-headed dog ghost cultivator's words, the expressions of the lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators all changed.
As the three-headed dog demon cultivators said, they did not have a direct way to contact any Saint King-level demon cultivators; they had oversimplified things.
"Alright, things haven't gotten to that point yet. Let's deal with Lin Yun first. If we really can't handle him, then we'll find a way to tell those Saint King-level ghost cultivators what's going on here!" At this moment, the three-headed dog ghost cultivator said calmly.
Actually, there were some things it didn't say, namely, the possibility that they might obtain the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower, especially the Blood Prison Sword. It is said that the legendary Blood Emperor reached such a powerful level because of the Blood Prison Sword.
If it could obtain the Blood Prison Sword, perhaps it would have a chance to reach the level of the Blood Emperor. At that time, what would a ghost cultivator at the Saint King level be? Killing ordinary Saint King level ghost cultivators would be like killing ants. It would become a renowned existence among Saint King level ghost cultivators, standing at the very peak of the entire Netherworld!
This is the biggest opportunity!
Now, if it doesn't give up this tremendous opportunity without even trying, how could it be willing to do so?
However, after thinking about it, it ultimately didn't say these words.
If things really come to the point it described, it fears that these lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators might relay its words to the Saint King-level ghost cultivators. In that case, its current ambitions might be disliked by those Saint King-level ghost cultivators, and if it were to be killed by them, it would be a huge loss!
Now that the Blood Prison Sword was discovered, why not inform them sooner? The information about the Blood Prison Sword is immense; every moment of delay could lead to drastic changes!
Its concerns are not unfounded!
"good!"
"This is the only way..."
Those lower-level Saint King-level ghost cultivators thought for a moment and finally said.
...
On this day, Lin Yun was practicing with his eyes closed.
"Lin Yun, something's happened outside!" The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yun, looking furious.
"Hmm? What is it?" Lin Yun opened his eyes and stood up.
In all his years of contact with the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower, he had rarely seen it so angry.
"Those ghost cultivators actually threatened you and True Martial Saint with the lives of humans in the Immortal Origin Realm and on Earth!" As the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower spoke, it waved its small hand, and the image outside appeared in front of them.
"Lin Yun, Zhenwu, these are all your people. If you want them to live, come out immediately. Otherwise, I will kill 100,000 people every day until they are all killed. On the contrary, if you come out, I will release them immediately and I will not kill you..." A ghost cultivator in the shape of a three-headed dog floated in the starry sky and said in a deep voice.
Beside this three-headed dog-like demon cultivator, many humans from the Immortal Origin Realm and Earth were also suspended in the starry sky, most of them in a state of panic.
"Lord Lin, Lord Zhenwu, please save us!"
"Lord Lin, Saintly Monarch Zhenwu, please save us!"
"Lord Lin, Saintly Monarch Zhenwu, I don't want to die yet, please come out!"
Many practitioners plead for the Way.
"Lord Lin, Saintly Monarch Zhenwu, do not come out. You can avenge us in the future!"
"My lords, please don't come out!"
Of course, there are also some principled and wise practitioners who speak out loudly.
They knew that this was a catastrophe affecting the entire universe. These ghost cultivators were using them to threaten Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint Lord, which meant that they were afraid of Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint Lord in some way. If Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint Lord did not come out, there was still a possibility that they would avenge them in the future. If they really believed what these ghost cultivators said and came out together, then they might just die in vain.
Inside the Tiandao Tower.
Lin Yun's face darkened upon seeing this.
He hadn't expected these ghost cultivators to use such a move, which was similar to what the Sage of Langya had done before.
However, since Sage Langya was also a Saint-level expert from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, born and raised there, he might show mercy to those cultivators from the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
These ghost cultivators, however, would show absolutely no mercy.
It's really possible that they could wipe out all of humanity.
"First batch, kill!"
Perhaps to confirm Lin Yun's thoughts, at this moment, the three-headed dog demon cultivator said coldly.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The three-headed dog demon cultivator didn't even lift a finger; in the blink of an eye, he caused the heads of 100,000 people from the Immortal Origin Realm and Earth to roll off the ground. The first to be killed were those who dared to stand up for themselves.
"How shameless!"
"These ghost cultivators..."
At this moment, Zhenwu Saint Lord and Xia Qingqing's group also arrived. When they saw this scene, they were also furious and said angrily.
"Lin Yun..." The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower turned to look at Lin Yun, its small face showing great anxiety.
Actually, at first, it was also conflicted about whether to tell Lin Yun about this, because it was afraid that Lin Yun would impulsively leave the Heavenly Dao Tower. After thinking about it, it decided to tell Lin Yun anyway.
Because it was afraid that if it didn't tell Lin Yun about this, and Lin Yun found out and got angry about its concealment, then all the goodwill it had built with Lin Yun over the past few years would have been for nothing.
It's better to tell Lin Yun about this. I believe Lin Yun is rational and won't act impulsively or take his anger out on it.
However, despite thinking this way, it was still afraid that Lin Yun would act impulsively.
After all, Lin Yun was too young and was at the age where he was prone to impulsiveness.
"Lin Yun!"
"Brother, what should we do?"
Zhenwu Saint Lord and Xia Qingqing's group also turned their heads to look at Lin Yun, looking very nervous.
"Is there any way to bring those people in?" Lin Yun asked the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower in a deep voice.
“There are five Saint-level ghost cultivators outside. Among them, the three-headed dog ghost cultivator is only a mid-level Saint-level ghost cultivator. I have no way to take them in without leaving any loopholes!” The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower shook its little head and said.
Lin Yun remained silent.
Although he had anticipated this outcome, his heart still sank upon hearing the Heavenly Dao Tower's spirit's answer.
"Cultivate!" Lin Yun remained silent for a long time before finally uttering those two words in a cold voice.
After saying that, he turned around and teleported away.
He was furious that those ghost cultivators were threatening him with the lives of people in the Immortal Origin Realm and on Earth. However, he was also very rational. If he could kill 100,000 people a day and more than 30 million people a year, he might be able to save some people if he broke through faster.
If he had actually listened to those ghost cultivators, he might have perished along with the humans from the Immortal Origin Realm and on Earth.
The words of those ghost cultivators are completely unreliable.
