Burial place.
There are no birds singing, flowers blooming, towering mountains, no fairy air, no living creatures, and even... no light.
There is only endless darkness and boundless silence.
What meets the eye is pitch black, with faint outlines surging in it, as if falling into a sea ten thousand meters deep, accompanied by the sound of the wind.
Why do we say it is the sound of the wind? Because the sound is like a young girl's laughter. It is pleasant to the ear at first, but when you listen again, the tone suddenly becomes higher and becomes extremely sharp and piercing.
"This is the laughing wind of the burial ground. Anyone below the quasi-emperor will go crazy if they hear it." The old ghost explained on the side.
Gu Qingfeng didn't say anything, but secretly observed...his new home.
Although everything is dark, with his current level of cultivation, he has already acquired the ability to see through illusions and can see everything clearly without the need for light.
In his eyes, the entire burial ground was filled with an endless and rich ominous aura, and the boundless darkness was actually the ominous aura condensed, covering everything.
And in this terrifying ominous atmosphere, there are countless taboos swimming around like fish.
They have strange shapes, some are humanoid with hundreds of eyes and thousands of feet, and some are stitched monsters that look like human and animal corpses stitched together.
There were also clusters of rolling bubbles, like a pot of boiling soup, with bubbles constantly appearing and bursting, but those bubbles looked very much like bloodshot eyeballs, so densely packed that every time one burst, a lot of thick soup would splash out. The next second, eyeballs covered with mucus would quickly grow out of the thick soup, squeezing together and making a crackling sound.
"Are these all taboos?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
The old ghost nodded: "They are not taboos. At best, they are just derivatives of taboos. If we talk about the real taboos, your evil is the one that deserves it."
The so-called taboos are those that violate common human ethics and the laws of nature. They are not allowed to appear in the world and anyone who comes into contact with them will suffer misfortune.
Even the Emperor of Heaven is no exception.
Many Heavenly Emperors met with misfortunes in their later years because of taboos. Of course, this is also related to their old age and frailty, and the end of their lifespan. If the Heavenly Emperor was at his prime, it would be difficult for the taboos to cause misfortunes to happen to even the strongest person.
Some taboos are man-made, such as the greatest sin.
But some are innate.
Just as the cells in the human body are dividing every moment, the laws of nature are also operating all the time.
But nothing can remain error-free all the time. When the human body divides and replicates cells, the probability of error increases with the number of times. Those erroneous cells that are not corrected by the immune system become cancer cells.
For the Heavenly Dao, taboos are its cancer cells, which are the result of operational errors. Such errors may not occur even once in billions of years, but the Heavenly Dao has existed for so long that even if the probability of an error is 0.0000000000000001, taboos will inevitably arise due to the huge base number.
Gu Qingfeng now suspects that this burial site might be a naturally formed taboo.
He opened his golden eyes and looked towards the burial site. He found that the burial site was located in the mezzanine of the Cangming Realm and had no fixed location. It was constantly moving and wandering all the time, like a shark hidden in the deep sea.
Moreover, the burial ground is constantly devouring and growing, and what it devours are souls!
Many people die in the Cangming Realm every second, and the souls of those dead people will basically be drawn into reincarnation, but every time the burial ground wanders to an area, it will devour the souls of that area.
It is equivalent to seizing the authority of the six realms of reincarnation.
This is sucking blood from Tiandao!
The soul enters the cycle of reincarnation, waiting for the right time to be reborn, and this cycle continues endlessly.
But once they enter the burial ground, they will be completely devoured, which is almost equivalent to the demise of the soul. All living beings are the source of the power of Heaven. As the burial ground continues to devour them, the power of Heaven will continue to weaken, just like the spread of cancer cells.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng understood that even if he did not attract the devil, after endless years, when the power of heaven had weakened to the extreme, the old ghost would still be able to destroy the sky.
However, the burial ground is too small compared to the Cangming Realm. If one wants to weaken the Heavenly Dao in this way, it will take billions of years.
The arrival of the devil gave the old ghost an opportunity, allowing the devil to weaken the way of heaven, directly saving countless time.
The old ghost looked at Gu Qingfeng's golden eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his turbid old eyes, but he did not stop anything.
Then, Gu Qingfeng looked at the old ghost with expectation again.
Although Lao Gui looks ugly and has an ugly laugh, for Gu Qingfeng, who extremely lacks family love, he sincerely hopes that Lao Gui is also his family member.
But at first glance, his brows furrowed slightly.
In the eyes of the golden pupil that can see through illusions, the old ghost was just an old beggar in his twilight years. He did not possess any supernatural powers. He was not even a cultivator, but just an ordinary person.
Two possibilities flashed through Gu Qingfeng's mind.
1. The old ghost is too powerful, so powerful that even the golden pupil cannot see through him. This power definitely surpasses that of the Emperor of Heaven.
2. The old ghost in front of you is not his real body at all, he is just a puppet.
In line with the principle of asking questions without shame, Gu Qingfeng did not suppress the doubts in his heart, but said bluntly: "Old ghost, who on earth are you? Why did I use my secret method to look at you, but found that you are just an ordinary old beggar?"
The old ghost was stunned for a moment, and was unable to react to Gu Qingfeng's question.
He just wanted to know why Gu Qingfeng was so upright?
It is a taboo for every strong person to snoop into other people's background. It is the same as looking someone up and down when you meet them.
Anyone with a temper can't stand it.
Lao Gui naturally knew that Gu Qingfeng had just been peeking at him, but he didn't intend to say anything. He just pretended not to know to avoid any conflict.
Who would have thought that Gu Qingfeng would come over to ask after reading because he didn't see what he wanted? !
This is no longer a matter of giving people eight lights, this is fucking eight lights and you still ask people to open it up on their own initiative!
Even though the old ghost had lived for countless years and had long since trained himself to be as calm as water, he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment.
"Gu Qingfeng! Don't go too far!"
"Old ghost, don't be ungrateful."
"you!!"
The old ghost immediately became angry and blew his beard and glared.
"What do you mean by you? You want to cooperate with me, but you keep hiding your true intentions and refuse to reveal any details. It's clear that you don't have any sincerity at all.
I am putting this on hold. If you don’t reveal the truth today, this cooperation will be terminated immediately.”
"Humph!" The old ghost's attitude suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "Gu Qingfeng, do you really think that the plan to destroy the sky can't be done without you?"
"Hehehe..." Gu Qingfeng burst into laughter in an instant, his eyes were arrogant and his face was full of arrogance. He stared straight at the old ghost and spoke word by word.
"Whether the plan to destroy the sky will work or not, I don't know, but what I do know is that if I interfere, your plan will definitely fail."
The old ghost's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he said in disbelief: "You don't want to help me, but you want to destroy me?"
