Chapter 571 Slaughtering Ten Thousand Ghosts and Displaying Demonic Power (Part 1)
Dealing with demonic cultivators is straightforward.
They understood the principle that those who adapt to circumstances are the wise ones, and when their skills were inferior to others, they would often retreat decisively, saving Wang Yu the trouble of coming up with a convincing excuse.
But since the other party was so understanding, I'll let it go for the sake of our past as fellow students.
Wang Yu couldn't remain silent, so he secretly condensed a black ice token with his demonic energy, inscribed with the words "Extreme Law".
He said.
"The future of the Ice Prison Realm is uncertain, and a great calamity may befall it. If there is truly no way out, you can use this token to go to Golden Toad City, where I may be able to save your life."
The extraterrestrial calamity caused quite a stir.
Wang Yu naturally wanted to resist. If he had previously harbored the idea of saving himself at the expense of the world, after witnessing the abilities of the Prison King Lingguan in the battle of the Sword Sect, he was now in a different situation.
Is my sword not sharp?!
As long as a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage doesn't involve breaking the seal of an ancient demon, they can only obediently submit to the rules of the immortals. Once their cultivation reaches its peak, they may be able to confront the Prison King Spirit Official head-on.
In this way, one can openly and legitimately break through the boundary and leave.
At present, he only has a rudimentary idea in mind: what a promising Nascent Soul cultivator like the Three Corpse Daoist lacks is simply a Divine Transformation inheritance that suits his own path.
After all, even ancient demons have their own Great Dao.
There is no such thing as an Ancient Demon of Corpses in the Ice Prison Realm. Cultivating the Way of the Yin Corpse means that one is inherently inferior. Otherwise, he would not hesitate to teach the Demon-Crossing Heart Mantra to cure the disease of demonic contamination.
After a year and a half of cultivation, he had almost realized the effects of this secret technique, and the nature of the demonic contamination was rooted in the space of his heart lake.
Hidden in the deepest recesses of the soul.
The Demon-Crossing Mantra truly lives up to its reputation as a secret Buddhist method of cultivating mental power, capable of refining demonic influence into pure mental energy to nourish the cultivator's own mental space.
In addition, the Seven Hearts Treasure Wheel Sacred Tree planted in Wang Yu's Heart Lake is also a unique spiritual root improved by Buddhism. The combination of the two has achieved a terrifying effect on demonic corruption, making people "turn back to the shore".
In a short period of time, he made significant progress in his Crystal Mind State, and the effects of his two mental power secret techniques, Great Fortune and Boundless Mortal World, also increased accordingly.
Wang Yu has analyzed the unique nature of mental strength on more than one occasion.
This is a kind of idealistic power, and its corresponding effects can be described as all-encompassing, like a wishing machine, where the secrets of mental power are one wish after another.
The drawback is that the practice is difficult and progress is slow.
If one encounters a calamity that impacts one's Dao heart, one may lose all mental strength and cultivation in a single day, almost like walking a tightrope. However, the benefits that come after one succeeds in cultivating are also endless.
The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven said that the Demon-Crossing Mantra takes a hundred years to be effective.
In his hands, the spell showed remarkable effects within a year or two, all because his mental strength cultivation had reached the fourth level. How could this spell be the same as those other cultivators who did not cultivate mental strength?
This is the difference between the orthodox path and the unorthodox path.
The Dao Heart that ordinary cultivators often talk about is more about the strength of their will and the resilience of their mind, rather than that they have also cultivated the Dao of Refining the Mind. Therefore, there is an essential difference between Wang Yu and them.
Everyone knows that he cultivates both the physical body and the spiritual body, but they don't know that he also has a spiritual path, which is also extremely accomplished. To put it bluntly, in the entire Ice Prison Realm, there is no one who can surpass him.
He is the best in the world!
Of course, this only applies to those with spiritual cultivation. However, it's quite difficult to realize this skill, as the lineage of spiritual power techniques has been severed, and most of the techniques one can obtain come from ancient ruins.
Creating laws without the support of "big data" and without a legislative foundation is extremely difficult!
Let's get back to the main topic.
Although cultivators like the Three Corpse Daoist are unlikely to pose a threat to the Prison King Spirit Official, as long as they cultivate the Dharma Aspect Divine Power, they can possess the great power of a half-step Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
With a large number of people, they were connected by formations.
This would also be a great help. Now that Wang Yu is fighting alone, it would be good to recruit some subordinates, just like the final battle with the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven.
He could also use this method to unite the power of cultivators from all over the world before an extraterrestrial enemy descends.
And upon hearing what Wang Yu said...
The slight resentment in the heart of the Three Corpse Daoist quickly disappeared. In his eyes, it was already difficult enough that Wang Yu was able to stay after all the Nascent Soul Venerables had fled for their lives.
It is a beacon of hope in dire straits.
Having such a backup plan makes it worthwhile to give up this sacred land of Yin Corpses, especially since he never intended to compete with the Nascent Soul stage.
Having gained something for nothing, one can turn enmity into gratitude.
In the process, he could also spread his fame. All Wang Yu paid was a symbol and a promise, so he didn't suffer any real loss.
Even if the old members of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect disbanded.
In Wang Yu's eyes, he was also a very useful tool, at least more trustworthy and worthy of attention than those people from the Hehuan Demon Sect and the Mingshan Sect.
After the Three Corpse Taoist left in excitement.
Wang Yu ventured deeper and soon arrived at a gloomy and eerie place. This Yin Dynasty layout, formed by feng shui techniques, was also subject to the limitations of feng shui magic.
From the day it was formed, it was allowed to enter but not leave.
It forms its own little world, and once you leave it, you will be freed from the influence of the feng shui wonders, driven by the instincts of ghosts, losing your own spirituality, and becoming like thousands of evil spirits with only the thought of killing.
It can be said that this situation both brought them success and failure.
Such a sophisticated and extraordinary arrangement could not have been set up by an ordinary feng shui master. However, when the prince fell, the ancestor of feng shui masters had already disappeared, and only he and his disciples could have such abilities.
The Yin Chao Qi Ju (Underworld Mystery Formation) is specifically designed for the spirits of the dead, but it has few restrictions on the living. Therefore, Wang Yu directly stepped into the realm of the underworld.
In an instant, the world changed.
Wang Yu, who should have been deep underground, appeared in a vast, desolate wilderness. The soil there was grayish-black, as if it were formed from countless yin spirits.
The sky was overcast, with a purple moon shining faintly in the sky. The moonlight cast by the moon was extremely yin in nature, and could even be described as ghostly yin energy.
While similar in nature to normal lunar essence, its fundamental nature is entirely different.
Wang Yu sighed.
"It actually formed a small world, which is almost identical to the Black Sea Universe nurtured within the body of the World-Suppressing Turtle."
While feng shui formations are indeed unique and more enduring than array formations, they are based on the principle of following nature and making some minor modifications.
Therefore, it can be sustained without the need for massive energy support.
It is an integral part of the operation of heaven and earth, so it does not need to be maintained by the one who sets up the formation. Although the way of formation is also about comprehending the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Its essence lies in alteration and exploitation.
The power it can unleash in a short time far surpasses that of a feng shui wonder, but it is also constrained by energy and often cannot be sustained.
Those protective formations that have existed for a long time are almost all connected to the spiritual veins, so they only need daily maintenance to last for a long time.
Both formations and unorthodox strategies have their strengths, making it difficult to determine which is superior.
However, people still prefer fierce and violent array masters, among whom the Heavenly Array Masters are an exception, as they have mastered the ability to create extraordinary formations and have learned to arrange formations in accordance with the natural order.
This greatly increases the upper limit of the formation.
That's why the Heavenly Array Masters are considered the strongest lineage of array masters.
While the planners for descending to this Yin Dynasty were somewhat lacking, Wang Yu possessed exceptional expertise in analyzing the earth's veins. Using his Golden Eyes of Qi Observation, he quickly arrived at a conclusion.
The reason why the Yin Dynasty Small Realm has been able to exist for so many years is because it is protected by a great treasure of the earth, which uses the earth's power to resist the natural contraction of space and maintain the strange situation.
As far as he knew, the Feng Shui geomancer lineage...
Only the [Earth Ancestor Token] can do this. Back then, after he obtained the Water Ancestor Token, there was no news of the other three Feng Shui Ancestor Tokens.
I thought my good fortune would end there.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the prince's tomb, I discovered such a treasure that perfectly suited him. What a coincidence!
…………
…………
at the same time.
Deep within the Yin Dynasty's small realm, the former Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty, now the Emperor of Yin, stood on the Looking-Homeward Platform, staring at the spatial ripples spreading across the distant sky, his face grim.
The man is gone, and his memories from his previous life have no connection to him after he was reborn as a ghost. Even the few fragments of his memories are unlikely to affect the Yin Tianzi personality that has been re-formed over the years.
"Where is Ghost Dragon General?!"
He suddenly roared, and the Yin Tiger Talisman in his hand emitted a faint light. A wisp of Yin energy came from afar and transformed into the figure of a Netherworld General with a dragon's head and a human body.
Its aura had clearly reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"By my decree, another prodigy has entered the tomb of the tomb-guarding clan. Any ghost of the Heavenly Dynasty who kills this child will be rewarded with one hundred pieces of Yin materials; whoever captures this child alive will be appointed as a Netherworld General Who Pursues Life; whoever invades the realm of the living will be appointed as a Fiery King and rewarded with one thousand Ghost Princesses!"
"This subordinate obeys the order."
General Guilong felt a chill and quickly stepped back to make arrangements.
The so-called tomb-guarding clan is the descendant of a minister who served the crown prince in the past. They are now the lineage of the Lord of Wanshou City, and their ancestral secret order for guarding the tomb has been passed down from generation to generation.
It was never known to outsiders, but there are all kinds of people, and even in a family, there will be traitors. When human greed arises, things will always go wrong.
Three thousand years ago, the main lineage of Wanshou was destroyed.
The tomb-guarding clan, having betrayed their own lord, began sending their disciples into the tomb realm to search for treasure. How could the Underworld Emperor stand idly by? He viewed this as a betrayal.
He killed as many as came, and over time...
Too many powerful individuals were sent out, and the main lineage of Wanshou managed to turn the tide against all odds. However, the ancestral decree also changed, and it was only known that there was a great opportunity at the bottom of Wanshou City.
Every sixty years, cultivators possessing hidden treasures are sent into this realm to seek opportunities.
This generation's Lord of Longevity City is considered quite lucky.
They successfully stole many opportunities from this world, but also learned many secrets. From then on, they cut off this path and forbade their clansmen from entering the tomb again.
This is where his conflict with his son began.
What the Yin Emperor didn't know was that the person who came in this time was not some Foundation Establishment or Core Formation prodigy, but a true Nascent Soul Venerable!
It was a bit careless to put General Guilong in charge of this matter.
At the same time.
Wang Yu strolled leisurely across the desolate land. He had come to search for treasure, and the Yin Dynasty's power was irrelevant to him, though one could guess that upon closer examination.
Since this place has become a Yin Dynasty, all the burial items must be in the hands of these ghosts, so a battle is inevitable.
Instead of rushing into a fight, he took advantage of the self-attraction between the ancestral feng shui principles to first pinpoint the location of the ancestral earth principle, so as to avoid wasting his efforts.
on the other hand.
He had a prior agreement with the Crown Princess, and as Chi Yuan's renowned honest and reliable young master, he also had to be careful about how to deal with the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty who had turned into a ghost.
At the very least, we can't let their souls be scattered; we must leave them a chance to reincarnate.
Every aspect.
It made him decide to proceed slowly, and there was also the Dao-Merging Spiritual Treasure. The spirit of this kind of seventh-order supreme treasure was no different from that of an ordinary person, and he thought about obtaining this treasure.
He also needs the approval of the artifact spirit, but this thing was left behind by a powerful figure from the Immortal Palace, and it probably won't be friendly to a native like him. On the other hand, he has experienced a fierce battle with the ancient demon.
Whether it can be preserved intact is still a question.
He has many concerns, but the benefits afterward are even greater. It would be an excellent trump card to deal with the Prison King and Spirit Official, and he would definitely not miss it.
As the positioning of feng shui compasses becomes more and more accurate.
Wang Yu gradually approached the center of this realm. As a yin realm formed from a tomb, its scale was destined not to be too large, so what appeared to be a small world was not small in area.
In reality, "Ghost Pass" only comprised one city.
All the ghosts and monsters combined number only a few hundred thousand, so this place is suitable for Yin ghosts to cultivate, and can naturally produce a large number of Yin-attribute spiritual medicines and precious materials.
It can be considered a cultivation-type secret realm.
This makes the ghosts quite powerful, with the lowest level being late Foundation Establishment, and most possessing Core Formation cultivation, while generals and the like are at least Nascent Soul stage.
If a cultivator practicing the Yin Ghost Path were to come to this place...
He must be grinning from ear to ear. Such abundant manpower is enough to make this cultivator dominate a region and possess combat power far exceeding that of his peers.
They can even use secret methods of raising Gu (poisonous insects) to forcibly elevate a Heavenly Ghost Venerable to a level comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
As Wang Yu continued to advance...
It's inevitable that we'll encounter ghosts head-on.
Three days later.
A group of demons and monsters transformed into a cold wind, stirring up a mournful wail in the low sky above this realm. Wang Yu frowned upon hearing this, wondering what these ghosts were yelling about.
But the abundant energy and blood in his body is like a beacon in the darkness.
This immediately attracted the attention of the sneaky group.
"Croak! The King has decreed that there will be a great reward for killing any living beings who enter this realm."
"Look over there, isn't that the living person the king spoke of?"
"Such rich and fragrant aroma!"
"General, may I have a taste of this unparalleled delicacy?!"
Ghosts are born with a deficiency in intelligence.
Although the ingenious arrangement was brilliant, human intervention could not compensate for inherent deficiencies, hence the somewhat humorous remarks made by these demons and monsters.
With malice looming over him, Wang Yu was no longer the naive and ignorant man he once was.
The majesty of a respected person must not be offended!
"--snort!"
With a cold snort, the power of the primordial spirit spread rapidly in the form of divine sense ripples, and a group of third-tier ferocious spirits immediately prostrated themselves down, as if they saw their own names shining brightly on the Reincarnation Stele.
The Ghost Fox General, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was barely able to retain his senses. He struggled to raise his head and saw Wang Yu's figure suddenly appear.
"A stranger...how dare you!"
"Ignorant insects."
Wang Yu's cold gaze swept over them, and a faint gray soul light flickered. The Soul-Destroying Death Ray, which had long been perfected and had been upgraded once, was the natural enemy of this group of evil spirits.
The supernatural power emanated from the gaze, instantly obliterating hundreds of evil spirits, leaving only a Yin Core that fell from the soul's body. This thing was similar in nature to a Golden Core.
However, lacking the immortality of gold, it is difficult to prolong life.
It does have some use for the primordial spirit, but Wang Yu doesn't think much of this low-grade Yin Pill. The soul infant in General Guili's body is more suitable for him to refine into a Soul Pill that can enhance the essence of the primordial spirit.
However, the effect was still a bit weak. If he had a Yin Spirit that had reached the fifth level, it would be more suitable for him to refine it into a great pill and consume it. It is likely that only the Crown Prince's soul body in this world could meet his requirements.
First update.
I'm experiencing some writer's block, so updates will be slower. Please don't mind.
Also, the storyline of the Ice Prison Realm is nearing its end, and we need to predict the next developments and how to resolve the deadlock every day. All of this needs to be written out gradually.
Countless brain cells were burned; it was too difficult.
