Chapter 388 The Secret of Black Island
There was a reason why the snake people were shocked by Ye Xiaoman.
Hei Dao is an indescribable terrifying existence in the ghost prison.
The wronged souls under the water will have their souls taken away by just looking at them, and become one of them. Even if they just watch the video recording in the water mirror, they will be affected by the power of the curse. In the mildest case, they will suffer from bad luck, and in the worst case, they will die.
Almost everyone, when seeing Hei Dao for the first time, will be frightened to scream by the scene of wronged ghosts growing flowers, and some people with weak minds will immediately go crazy.
The snake people present were the best in terms of cultivation, but they were in a very miserable state when they first met Hei Dao. They still remembered the painful experience of vomiting blood, wailing and rolling around. When they were shown the video of Hei Dao just now, they had sealed off their five senses in advance and did not dare to take another look.
However, Ye Xiaoman not only looked directly into the water mirror, but also looked at the wronged souls in the black water with relish for a long time. Not only was she not affected in the slightest, she even showed a longing for those terrible cursed flowers.
She is clearly terrifyingly strong!
And the Qi Refining Stage cat demon beside her also looked indifferent.
As expected, among the strong, even the little servant who sleeps with him is a master.
It’s so scary, where does she come from?
The snake people completely accepted the outside script that "Ye Xiaoman, a big man in the Hua stage, pretended to be in the Qi Refining stage."
Even for a moment, I imagined more terrifying plots, such as the righteous genius ambushing the ghost prison to rescue the suffering beings, and the Taoist ancestor taking a fancy to the Feng Shui treasure land in the ghost world and seizing the territory in a bloody storm...
The more the snakes thought about it, the more they felt that they had inadvertently witnessed a major historical event in the world of immortal cultivation. Every snake was terrified, and most of their backs were covered with cold sweat.
They could never imagine that the reason why Ye Xiaoman was able to withstand Heishima's curse was because she had already seen the highest level version, and Jing Zhui had casually cast a protective spell on her.
Moreover, dark things also have a food chain. The World-Destroying Flower in Ye Xiaoman's arms suppressed the Curse Flower so tightly that it could not even hurt Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman's move was purely unintentional.
She watched as the elders became more and more humble in their attitude towards her, their backs bent more and more, and they reported to her in a hushed voice.
"The island is ruled by a group of completely alien 'things', numbering approximately ten thousand people."
Ye Xiaoman: "Completely alienated?"
The patriarch replied respectfully, pointing to the snake tails beneath their clothes. "Those of us who retain half of our human form are called half-alienated humans. They have completely transformed into spiders, scorpions, fish... and can switch between human and alien forms."
Yue Mushan's cat ears stood up in surprise. The ability to transform between human and animal forms freely was supposed to be possessed only by the demon race.
Ye Xiaoman and Jiaying glanced at each other.
She said, "But this isn't right. According to the settings of the ghost prison, when prisoners lose themselves, they will only transform into half-human, half-monster forms, and eventually turn into amber balls like Taoist beads and monk beads."
From a functional analysis, this is where the high-level ghosts refine the opposing forces into magic weapons.
In other words, the prisoners have no choice but to turn into amber balls.
Those "existences" that escaped the ghost prison on the Black Island are like programs infected with computer viruses, running independently beyond the supervision of the main program.
Ye Xiaoman: "When did the anomaly appear?"
"Black Island is said to have existed since the creation of the Ghost Prison," the clan leader recalled. "As for those completely alienated things on the island, they only appeared in the last hundred years."
Ye Xiaoman asked: "How did those things bully you?"
When the snake people heard this question, everyone had an expression of indignation on their face, obviously having been oppressed for a long time.
"The residents of Black Island hold a monthly sacrifice to honor their gods."
"The surrounding villages, threatened by their powerful military force, were required to pay them tribute of 20 newlywed couples every month."
"The people who were taken away never came back. We suspect they were used as human sacrifices."
"Blood sacrifice?" Ye Xiaoman complained, "We're all prisoners, and they're finding ways to have fun in this difficult situation."
As the Son of God, Jiaying was more concerned about the folk customs. "Which evil god are we worshipping? What is the purpose?"
The clan leader shook his head. "All the spies we sent out are dead. Analyzing the few bits of information they sent back before their death, we only know that the deity they worship is called 'False Lord.'"
"Fake Lord? Another Ghost Lord?" Ye Xiaoman said, "If nothing else, he's quite bold."
The clan leader said, "It is said that if you persist in offering sacrifices to the false master for a year, you can achieve ascension in broad daylight."
"Puff." Ye Xiaoman almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
It was too ridiculous. When she, Yue Mushan and Jiaying heard it, they all treated it as a joke.
If one can ascend to heaven through sacrifice, then why do we still need to practice Taoism? Isn’t it enough to just worship the false master every day?
Even if the Black Island has some special function and can really achieve rapid ascension, there are so many big guys in the world of immortal cultivation who are crazy about ascending. Why would those smart ghost lords and ghost kings not use this precious land?
If the news was even slightly reliable, it would have spread throughout the six realms long ago. A clan as domineering as the Ji family would have already broken through the ghost realm long ago.
It is obvious that this is fake news, a huge lie by the false believers.
The tribe leader said doubtfully, "But those Black Island residents who participated in the sacrifice have really disappeared."
Ye Xiaoman restrained her smile and asked, "Disappeared from the ghost prison out of thin air?"
"It's absolutely true," the patriarch said, "It's as if he really ascended."
The clan leader dragged the stool closer to Ye Xiaoman and asked mysteriously, "Tell me, even if the ascension is fake, are they with the help of the false master..."
It pointed upwards and asked, "Escaped?"
"hiss--"
Ye Xiaoman perked up, "Is this possible?"
She thought it was impossible at first.
"The Ghost Prison is the core of the Buddha-annihilating formation. While the world may be a vast makeshift operation, Huangquan Ferry is the face of the Ghost Realm and its greatest line of defense against foreign enemies. It cannot be a shoddy project."
"Isn't there any surveillance in the magic circle?"
"Over the past hundred years, so many prisoners have escaped from Huangquan Ferry through rituals. Are the Ghost Lords and Ghost Kings blind and unaware of this?"
"That's true, but no matter how rigorous the design is, there will occasionally be loopholes." The clan leader's green eyes rolled around cunningly, and he analyzed it to Ye Xiaoman cunningly.
"If you compare the Ghost Prison to tens of thousands of acres of rice fields, it's vast and boundless. The Ghost King who guards the Ghost Prison is the steward who helps the Ghost Lord manage the rice fields."
"Landlords only care about the harvest. As long as the rice fields yield a reasonable harvest every year, who among the housekeepers and farmers would notice that there is a nest of field mice stealing rice in the corner of tens of thousands of acres of rice fields?"
In order to convince Ye Xiaoman to get rid of the evil, the snake people tried their best to persuade her, "You also want to leave the ghost prison, maybe Black Island is a quick way out."
Ye Xiaoman touched her chin and said, "You guys are right. It seems I need to go on an adventure."
