In the coffin, Jiang Li was holding two freshly picked Nine Nether Earth Fruits, turning them over and over in his hands to study them.
From the appearance, these two fruits look no different from ordinary ground fruits except that there is an extra black line surrounding the entire fruit.
But Jiang Li was on it and felt an aura similar to that of the Dao Yun Fruit.
This upgraded version of the fruit can not only control the soul, but also help living beings comprehend the Tao. It is truly a tonic.
If you want to capture and transform a being at the god-transformation level, the cost is truly heartbreaking.
It took not only a long time for his two pieces of Nine Netherwood to condense these two Earth Fruits, but it also consumed more than one-third of his reserves.
If we calculate based on the unit of the Divine Transformation cultivator, then two Divine Transformation cultivators will be needed to condense the Nine Netherworld Fruit that can control one Divine Transformation cultivator.
Without affecting their own combat effectiveness, the two Nine Nether trees can now only grow these two one-patterned Nine Nether fruits.
It seems that even the Nine Nether Wood cannot freely control its divine combat power before it grows the third tree heart.
Suppressing the crazy thought of killing people in his heart, Jiang Li walked in front of his two clones.
In the coffin space, there are now two almost identical Nine Netherwood trees growing.
The original Nine Netherwood in the cemetery had been completely devoured by the fifth parallel consciousness and had become his clone.
And using the peaches, it re-grew a second tree core, thus restoring some of its former strength.
As long as the spiritual energy keeps up, he will be able to regain his former glory soon.
And on top of their tree trunks, three powerful creatures were tied up.
One is Mu Yulan who is possessed by the ghost king Yang Ruozhi.
One was the first incarnation-level fighter that Jiang Li had ever defeated, an armored ogre.
As for the last one, it was a treasure-stealing rat that fell into Jiang Li's hands not long ago because of its greed and was eventually captured by him.
These three guys have been locked in the coffin for a long time.
There were also many prisoners who had been imprisoned with them before.
Two of the creatures from the Asura Realm had become sacrifices for the coffin, helping the Yin Burial Coffin to be successfully upgraded to the mid-grade Earth Rank not long ago.
The Nine Netherwood in the cemetery was devoured by the parallel consciousness and became Jiang Li's latest clone.
The five exiled demons were the most aware of the current situation and decisively chose to surrender.
So after all that time, there were only three of them left.
Among the three of them, the ghost king Yang Ruozhi, although still trapped in the tree, has actually been sentenced to death.
Because of her non-cooperation, Jiang Li treated her as a large experience package and gave her to Qin Shuman.
Now there are only these two guys left, and they are still fighting hard.
Of course, Jiang Li kept them for so long because they were still useful.
The treasure-stealing rat is the best thief in the world. He can explore secrets and steal treasures in secret.
After taming it, even if he just lets it out for a spin every now and then, it can bring him a steady stream of income.
As for the armor-faced demon, it might not be able to show its face in Cangyun Continent.
But in the future when facing the war against the armored monster, perhaps it will play a huge role.
It wouldn't be a loss to give them these two Nine Netherworld Fruits.
Jiang Li pried open their mouths one by one.
Stuff the upgraded version of the Nine Netherworld Fruit in it.
The two monsters have reached the equivalent of human deification level, so naturally they have very precise control over their own states.
Even those at the Nascent Soul stage can sense the threat of the Nine Nether Earth Fruit controlling people's minds, so naturally they can too.
He was very resistant to these two spiritual fruits that were worth millions of spirit stones.
As a result, Jiang Li had no choice but to knock out their teeth and stuff them into his stomach along with the spiritual fruit.
When the spiritual fruit fell into their stomachs, it instantly turned into a ball of energy, spreading to their limbs and bones, which could further enhance their cultivation strength.
In the pure energy, a dark aura emerged and went straight to their souls.
The treasure-stealing rat also has the ability to leave its body.
But being tied up by the Nine Nether Wood, his soul had no chance of escaping and was firmly locked inside his body.
Then the black energy penetrated into its soul, and the treasure-stealing rat's pair of green bean-sized eyes suddenly lost their luster.
And that Nine Netherworld Black Qi began to change the underlying will of the spirit rat through some means.
Looking at the armored ogre, he looked even more miserable.
This armor-faced ogre is not a member of the royal family, but was transformed through erosion.
Having been transformed once by the flesh and blood of the Armored Clan, his soul and will were far less powerful than imagined, and he was even more unable to resist the Nine Nether Black Silk.
It won't be long before he has two more capable subordinates.
Roughly speaking, the power Jiang Li currently has on hand is equivalent to half a mountain.
If any of the three major sects in Dachongshan were to be picked out alone, they would not be his opponent at all. If the three elders knew about this, they would probably be frightened again.
With a spiritual root like the Nine Nether Wood in hand, as long as one goes through the initial primitive accumulation, the speed of becoming stronger will become faster and faster.
Of course, that is only in terms of combat power. When it comes to alchemy, refining equipment, and other secondary professions, humans are definitely better at it.
"Let me go!"
"I'm in the tomb of the Ghost King's wasteland! There are countless spirit stones and black jade hidden there, all the treasures I've collected over the years."
"There are still one thousand Yin Yuan of the brides I killed in the bridal sedan! As long as I eat those Yin Yuan, it will be worth a hundred years of hard training."
"There are many more~ I can give you all of them! Believe me, I will make you satisfied."
"Now that I have lost my origin, it is impossible for me to seek revenge on you. Please let me go! Please!"
After feeding the Nine Netherworld Fruit, Jiang Li was just about to leave.
A weak voice came.
It was Mu Yulan who was tied to the other side of Jiuyou's clone.
Listening to those words of begging for mercy, one could tell that it was actually the ghost king Yang Ruozhi in her body who was speaking.
Jiang Li frowned, walked around to the other side of the Nine Netherwood, and stood in front of her.
"Please! My daughter Yang Ruozhi had a miserable life. She was sold by her family for ten taels of silver and buried in a coffin with a corpse. She was suffocated to death."
"I don't want to die again. I beg Master Jiang to show mercy and spare me this time. I also know many secrets of Fengdu, and I can tell you all of them."
The arrogant Bride Ghost King was now like a puddle of mud, hanging on the Nine Nether Tree.
The essence of the soul is lost all the time.
Those precious origins allowed Qin Shuman to form a ghost baby in a short period of time. While he was rapidly progressing towards the body-stealing realm, Yang Ruozhi was also gradually moving towards the destruction of her soul.
The fear that had completely dissipated forced Yang Ruozhi to lower her head in front of Jiang Li.
But what she said made Jiang Li feel cold.
Because Yang Ruozhi was arranged to have a spirit marriage, after her death she hated all women who could have a normal and happy marriage.
She not only seduces lustful men, but also kills them.
What a cruel method this is.
There are still a thousand Yin Yuan left in her current tomb. What about the ones she has eaten? Wouldn't the total be countless?
He even wants to use his past life to win Jiang Li's sympathy. It's totally nonsense.
"Pastor sister, I'm sorry, but please take a moment longer."
Jiang Li ignored Yang Ruozhi's plea for mercy. With a thought, nine white flames appeared behind him.
He reached out and picked one, then pressed it on Mu Yulan's forehead with one finger.
Ah!!! A shrill scream echoed throughout the coffin, and then he was in so much pain that he couldn't make any sound. Mu Yulan's body became stiff, his teeth clenched and creaked, and his whole body was stretched straight like a piece of wood.
This kind of pain lasted for more than ten breaths before his body went limp and relaxed. Jiuyoumu slowly put him down and he fell into Jiang Li's arms.
The look in Mu Yulan's eyes finally became clear.

"My benefactor, don't worry about me. I can't live anymore. It doesn't matter if you kill me now."
A weak voice was heard, and Mu Yulan, whose soul was already broken, barely regained consciousness.
Mu Yulan, the abandoned disciple of Qianhe Tower, was actually just a casual acquaintance of him. He didn't need to take it too seriously.
But after being called benefactor by Mu Yulan for such a long time, he also knew through certain spiritual means that the other party had experienced betrayal and pain, and was later rescued by him, so he really regarded Jiang Li as his spiritual pillar.
Even if I die for him, I will not hesitate.
If she were not under the control of the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, Jiang Li actually wouldn't have many true friends. If she could save her life, Jiang Li still hoped to save her as much as possible.
"Don't say such discouraging words. Willpower is very important on the battlefield of the soul."
"Hold on a little longer. Believe me, she's going to die soon. Once I pull her out of your soul, you'll be able to recover soon."
After hearing Jiang Li's comfort, Mu Yulan gave a weak smile and fell asleep.
But in fact, what Jiang Li said was purely consolation.
Willpower can indeed affect the struggle of the soul, but when there is a huge gap at the soul level, that little influence is really minimal.
How could a Yuanying that was forcibly raised be a match for a ghost king? Even if it was just a seriously injured ghost king.
It has to be said that it is a miracle that Mu Yulan can hold on until now.
He could only use the ghost lantern cold flame to restrict Yang Ruozhi as much as possible, but doing so would also hurt Mu Yulan.
In this situation, there is not much he can do.
Putting the girl down, Jiang Li walked out of the coffin.
Outside is the Manjianghong Shifang Domain Service Center which Jiang Li had just ordered to be built.
The location chosen was the original site of Wuze City. The geographical location here is good and it is convenient to coordinate all the inns around it.
Walking to the highest banquet hall on the top floor of Manjianghong, all the big and powerful monsters in the marginal area of Shifang Domain have gathered there.
No matter whether it was tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, or snakes, insects, rats, or ants, whether they had grudges against each other or not, what was supposed to happen had all happened.
No one dared to offend Man Jianghong.
Coming here to eat is a small matter, but their collective appearance means that from now on in this area, no one will be so blind as to dare to challenge the authority of the Manjianghong Inn.
Jiang Li has opened up a channel connecting the Shifang Realm and the outside world.
This wild and uncivilized land is seldom visited by humans, which means that huge benefits have not yet been developed. It is the kind that can make people fat in an instant.
For example, now Jiang Li can just make a call and the Manjianghong Inn can easily gather an army of one hundred thousand monsters.
"Thank you all for your support. I am Xia Shuifen, the owner of the Man Jiang Hong Inn. I will ask you to give me some favors from now on."
The person who walked forward was not Jiang Li, but a water tomb hermit who was transformed from the heart of one of the Nine Nether Trees in the cemetery.
He raised his hands and clasped his fists towards the sixty-nine great demons below.
A vigorous momentum then spread out.
The Nine Netherwood in the cemetery had been badly beaten by Jiang Li before, and had not yet recovered the ability to fight against a dozen people alone.
But the icy aura of the Netherworld still made the group of big monsters below swallow their saliva nervously.
Behind Jiuyoumu in the cemetery, Qingshan Jushi, the first Jiuyou clone, the combined Black Jade and White Jade, the five-tailed fox Tushan Wuya, and the five banished demons of cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and donkeys, all stepped forward and stood behind him.
Each of them revealed their aura to let the monsters below know that they were all on the same level.
Such a large number of great demons, united together, formed a force that the demons below could not contend with at all.
After displaying this power, a group of great monsters below lowered their heads, some not daring to look directly upwards.
Before, the Five Exiled Demons were able to subdue them, and now with Man Jiang Hong’s number of big demons having doubled, there will be no problem at all.
Jiang Li himself, of course, cannot stay in this place full of monsters for a long time.
But this place is very important. Unlike the Eastern Region Xiuxian World which is divided up by various forces, it has great development prospects.
If done properly, he could quickly build up a huge monster force. He could absorb more big monsters to join him, and communicate the large amount of indigestible spiritual materials in the Ten Directions Domain with the outside world. No matter what he did, there would be many benefits.
So he planned to leave the real body of the second Nine Netherworld clone and the five exiled demons here to guard the place, and only take away one tree heart of the second clone.
As long as the Demon King does not come out, such power is enough to prevent the local monsters from having any evil thoughts.
Once things stabilize, it will be enough to leave behind one or two big monsters.
"Also, thank you Brother Jiutou from Liusha River for coming all the way here. I will have to rely on you to help me cross the Liusha River in the future."
After showing off his muscles to the monsters, Jiang Li controlled the Nine Nether Wood in the cemetery, and turned to look at a monster in the crowd with a mouth stretched from ear to ear, an extremely ugly appearance, and eight large tumors on its head.
That is the giant nine-headed dragon fish that occupies a section of the Liusha River.
If you want to connect this area with the outside world, it won’t work without this guy’s approval.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shuifen is too polite. If you need my help, just tell me. From now on, as long as he hangs your Manjianghong flag, I, Jiutou, will ensure that he is safe on the water."
"But I, Nine-headed Dragon Fish, would also like to ask the Water Tomb Monk for a favor today."
After all, he is a big monster who controls the key waterways connecting the inside and outside of the Ten Directions Domain, and he believes he is underwater, so no one can do anything to him.
Therefore, compared with other big monsters, the nine-headed dragon fish is more arrogant and confident. Before the action is done, the conditions have already been put forward.
Jiang Li couldn't take out the third advanced version of the Nine Netherworld Fruit for the time being. Even if he was killed here, that stretch of water would soon be occupied by other water monsters, which would simply cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, I did not refuse directly. If their request was reasonable, I would just agree to it.
"Brother Jiutou, please speak up. From now on, everyone here is a brother. You can speak out whatever you think."
Jiang Li controlled his clone and behaved very magnanimously.
Then, for some reason, the nine-headed dragon fish's pair of bubbly eyes looked through the group of monsters and toward Jiang Li's real body, who was sitting in the corner and drinking tea silently.
She walked towards him with ill intentions.
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Shuifen first."
"Some time ago, a human cultivator sneaked across my waters and entered the Ten Directions Region. Now he has the audacity to sneak in here."
"It just so happens that he is the enemy of my two friends. As long as Mr. Shuifen can help me take his head away, that will be all."
