Chapter 606: Encountering
Evil Spirits The Heavenly Ghost Prison is located deep in the Black Snake Marsh. This huge marshland is a million miles in radius. Looking from the sky, one can see a filthy black area on the land full of life.
"It is said that in ancient times, there was a poisonous black snake that wreaked havoc here. A powerful cultivator killed the snake. However, the body of this huge black snake corrupted the land into muddy and dirty water. A strong invisible foul aura filled the area within a million miles. No matter whether it was human or animal, anyone who smelled it would die..."
Tai Ning looked at the black water below, her bright eyes full of disgust. She hated filth the most, and there was no clean place in this water.
Even if she just watched from a distance, she could feel herself being infected by the foul air.
Gao Xian used his flower-reviewing mirror to carefully examine the filthy land. He could see the invisible foul air from the rotten black mud condensing into a pillar and rising into the sky.
Within the range of the invisible foul air, no grass grows, no living creatures exist. Not even stones. Everything will be corrupted by the foul air and eventually turn into muddy black water.
However, this should have nothing to do with the black snake. It is because there is a semi-enclosed cave deep in the swamp, and foul air is constantly overflowing from there, thus polluting the world.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth itself also has a strong purification ability, which limits the pollution to a certain range. It can be seen that the Heavenly Ghost Prison is indeed terrifying.
Gao Xian said to Tai Ning, "You can camp here and wait for me. If you need anything, use the Wanli Sound Transmission Note."
Tai Ning wanted to accompany Gao Xian into the Heavenly Ghost Prison to see what was going on, but seeing this, she didn't dare to take the risk. Her cultivation was not good enough, and forcing her way in would only drag Gao Xian down.
"Okay, I'll wait here for you, brother."
She said seriously: "It doesn't matter if the mission cannot be completed, brother, please don't take risks."
Gao Xian smiled and gently touched Tai Ning's smooth cheek, "I know what's going on, don't worry."
Gao Xian activated the Tai Chi Xuanguan Wuxiang Divine Robe, and the dark golden light wheel behind him rotated and pushed him to rush into the entrance of the invisible cave.
The Heavenly Ghost Prison Cave Heaven was half-closed, but it could not stop the Xuanhuang Light Wheel transformed by the Earthly Divine Light. The huge Earthly Divine Power rotated, forcibly tearing a crack in the invisible cave heaven restriction.
Tai Ning was observing with a water mirror thousands of miles away. Seeing Gao Xian entering the Heavenly Ghost Prison, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
If she had been thinking about using Gao Xian before, now she had mixed feelings towards him. He was like a close friend, and also like a close lover, but the interests between the two were clearly calculated.
No matter what, he was her first man after all, and she didn't want Gao Xian to make any mistakes. However, she particularly wanted the Ten Directions True King Tianyinjian...
The cave inside the Heavenly Ghost Prison is filled with a vast expanse of gray. The thick foul air is invisible but tangible. It is extremely subtle and highly corrosive. No matter whether it is spiritual energy or spiritual consciousness, as long as it comes into contact with the foul air, it will be infected.
The accumulated foul air was too thick, emitting a strong stench that made people want to vomit. A cultivator below the Golden Core stage would soon turn into a pool of mud after taking a deep breath.
Gao Xian stretched out his fingers to release the magic power protection, and the invisible foul air immediately fell on his fingers. With his powerful spiritual sense and the flower-appraising mirror, he could see that the extremely subtle foul air was like millions of small insects, frantically biting his fingers without magic power protection.
His strong body seemed too rough and full of holes under such a subtle foul aura, and his jade-like skin instantly turned black in a small area.
This also made him realize that his body was actually still very fragile. If he reached the fifth level of body refining, he would never be easily corroded by the foul air.
Just like the old monk Long Yin who was as dry as a living skeleton, his strong body was almost perfect and flawless. It was enough to withstand the erosion of the foul air for a short period of time.
Gao Xian used the Qinghua Divine Light to remove the foul air from his fingers. Fortunately, the Qinghua Divine Light could restrain the foul air, and the effect was immediate. The foul air was completely removed.
After such a short while, his clothes were also stained with a layer of foul smell, and the snow-white clothes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and no trace of bright luster could be seen.
The white clothes were transformed from the White Emperor Qiankun Transformation Sword. Its sharpness could resist all kinds of external attacks, but it was still a level lower than the foul air. Gao Xian clearly felt that the circulation of the sword energy was a little sluggish.
The foul air in the Heavenly Ghost Prison was really strong, far surpassing that of the Abyssal Essence Sea. No wonder the Heavenly Ghost Inner Core was listed as a ground-level task, and even a powerful spirit-transforming warrior could not survive for a long time in the Heavenly Ghost Prison, let alone kill a Heavenly Ghost.
Gao Xian tried several more protective spells, but the effects were all very poor. The spiritual energy in the Heavenly Ghost Prison was polluted by foul air, and if he wanted to convert the spiritual energy into mana, he would have to consume several times more spiritual consciousness and energy.
Under the erosion of foul air, the protective spells would quickly collapse and disintegrate. It can be imagined that the power of spells would be greatly reduced in the Heavenly Ghost Prison.
The power of a spell depends on many factors, such as the structure of the spell, the strength of the practitioner's spiritual consciousness, the strength of the magic power, and the state of external spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy is scarce, even the power of a spell cast by a powerful spiritual master will inevitably be greatly reduced.
After experiencing the power of the Heavenly Ghost Prison, Gao Xian quickly transformed into the Taixuan Divine State, wearing a scarlet robe transformed from the "Blood River Heavenly Venerable Transformation Book".
At this moment, the physical body of Taixuan Shenxiang remained in Liudao City as a spatial displacement coordinate. Taixuan Shenxiang's physical body still retained basic perception. If there was an unexpected situation, Gao Xian's consciousness could return with his Nascent Soul instantly.
After the transformation into mana, the foul air that was constantly corroding the body and soul was completely blocked by the Blood River Heavenly Master's Book of Transformation. What's even more exaggerated is that the Blood River Heavenly Master's Book of Transformation can forcibly draw spiritual energy from the foul air, and even transform the foul air into the Blood River Infinite Mana. The disadvantage is that the efficiency of transforming the foul air is not high.
It was roughly equivalent to a person biting a dry steamed bun, which was either inedible or very laborious to eat. Even if he didn't transform the foul qi, the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Ghost Prison was enough to sustain his normal consumption.
Gao Xian was delighted. It was indeed a magical weapon left by the Blood River Heavenly Venerable. It was powerful. With this magical weapon, he was able to run rampant in the Heavenly Ghost Prison.
As his mind turned, his body transformed into a long blood-red rainbow, separating the endless foul air and shooting forward.
The blood-colored rainbow was moving at an extremely high speed, and the shrieking sound it emitted while speeding continued to spread far away. For the deadly and silent Heavenly Ghost Prison, this sound was a bit too harsh.
Upon hearing the sound, the Heavenly Ghosts naturally gathered in this direction. Gao Xian encountered a group of Heavenly Ghosts less than tens of thousands miles deep into the Heavenly Ghost Prison.
The Sky Ghost looked like a ball of black smoke, its shape would constantly distort and change, and it had no fixed form. The strong foul smell emanating from the Sky Ghost was enough to infect the mind of a cultivator just by looking at it from a distance.
It does not even require the mediation of spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy, but rather a more profound way of induction.
Dozens of black smoke clouds kept twisting and changing, gathering towards Gao Xian from all directions. Gao Xian casually activated the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword,
A flash of blood-red blade light shone out like a full moon ring, cutting off dozens of black smoke clouds.
The broken parts of the Heavenly Ghosts' bodies were stained with a dark red color. It was not that the Heavenly Ghosts would bleed, but that the extremely poisonous sword energy of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword would corrode the spirituality of living beings.
No matter how strange the sky ghost behaves, it is a living being after all, with spirituality. The same is true for evil spirits, which can actually be regarded as living beings, but their life forms are very special.
Gao Xian has come to this world and has never seen a true god. No matter how powerful and marvelous the magic or power is, it must have its limits.
Without a true god, there is no ghost. Gao Xian thinks that celestial ghosts and evil spirits can be seen as viruses and bacteria in this world, which may be a natural adjustment of this world specifically for cultivators.
The power of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword he activated was doubled after being blessed by the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Hua Yuan Book. The Blood-Transforming Divine Sword's ability to corrode the souls and blood of living beings also had a certain restraint on the Heavenly Ghosts.
The weak Sky Ghost twisted its body and tried to condense itself again, but was blocked by the Qi of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. The smoke that was broken into two pieces could not be put back into a whole no matter how hard it tried.
A few of the Heavenly Ghosts were swirling in smoke, and instantly swallowed up the Qi of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Gao Xian also saw that most of the Heavenly Ghosts were not of high rank, only at the fourth rank. Some of them could not hold out after being struck by the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.
Of course, ordinary Nascent Souls pose no threat to these Heavenly Ghosts. Even if they use thunder magic, the power will be greatly reduced because the Heavenly Ghost Prison's spiritual energy is polluted by the foul air.
Among this group of celestial ghosts, only one with a strong black aura has reached the fifth level, which is perfect for training.
Gao Xian's mind turned and he activated the Blood River Mantra. He shouted in a low voice: "Die!"
The spell transformed by the mantra was transformed by divine consciousness and magic power, covering an area of 100 miles in radius. In the center of dozens of black smoke clouds of the sky ghosts, a complex and mysterious red gold rune emerged.
It was the Blood River Mantra that transformed the mana into substance and directly imprinted it deep in the spiritual core of the Sky Ghost. Ordinary cultivators would naturally not be able to see such changes, and only the Sky Ghost's translucent body and strange life state could clearly show such changes in mana.
The weak Sky Ghost immediately exploded into thousands of puffs of smoke, and its spirit completely dissipated. Only the fifth-order Sky Ghost with the strongest spirit was still holding on, but the smoke it condensed was getting thinner and thinner.
Gao Xian was also a little surprised. Although the Blood River Mantra was a powerful spell, it was impossible for just one mantra to take the life of a cultivator of the same level.
After all, this group of celestial ghosts have no intelligence and do not have the comprehensive protection of cultivators. It is only because of their special life form that they are not afraid of most spells.
He shouted again: "Die."
In the few remaining black smoke puffs, red-gold runes flashed with divine light, and this fifth-level celestial ghost immediately exploded into tiny specks of white smoke, and its spirituality completely dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, a group of celestial ghosts were wiped out by Gao Xian, and the battle process was very easy.
Gao Xian felt that it was a bit unrealistic, but then he changed his mind and thought that it was reasonable for Xuehe Tianzun to have such a record.
The Tiansha Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is only a fifth-order low-grade artifact, while the Xuehe Tianzun Yuan-Transforming Book is a fifth-order high-grade artifact. There are two huge levels between them, and the power of the two differs by dozens of times.
He can now unleash a bit of the power of the Blood River Heavenly Venerable's Book of Transformation, and the power of his spells will be extremely strong, posing a considerable threat to a fifth-order soul, not to mention these unintelligent celestial ghosts.
After this battle, Gao Xian's confidence increased greatly. After all, there was a huge difference between the Heavenly Ghost and the cultivator. As long as a method of restraining it was found, the fifth-level Heavenly Ghost would not be as powerful as the six-tailed Heavenly Fox.
Gao Xian headed towards the depths of the Heavenly Ghost Prison, and killed all the Heavenly Ghosts he encountered along the way. He killed dozens of fifth-level Heavenly Ghosts on the way, and only then did he obtain a Heavenly Ghost Inner Pill.
Even for a fifth-level Heavenly Ghost, the chance of condensing an inner elixir after destruction is not high. Gao Xian didn't care. Anyway, he had the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Yuanhua Book, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to stay in the Heavenly Ghost Prison for a year or two.
As long as he searches patiently, he can always collect ten Heavenly Ghost Inner Pills. Besides, he has finally come here once, so it is good to take more Heavenly Ghost Inner Pills. This thing should be able to sell for a good price.
Gao Xian spent more than twenty days, penetrated tens of millions of miles into the Heavenly Ghost Prison, killed hundreds of fifth-order Heavenly Ghosts, and collected thirteen Heavenly Ghost Inner Pills in his hands.
He also felt that it was almost done, but there was a subtle change in a special aura deep in the Heavenly Ghost Prison, which made him unable to help but want to see what it was.
"Just fly forward for another day, and forget it if there's nothing else to discover..." Gao Xian told himself.
After flying for tens of thousands of miles, Gao Xian still saw a gray mist everywhere, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Gao Xian was thinking about leaving immediately when suddenly a filthy but powerful divine consciousness swept over him. His whole body tensed up immediately, and the robe transformed by the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Huayuan Book was covered with marks of tight binding.
It was as if there was an invisible rope tightly binding his body.
"What is this thing?" Gao Xian was shocked. No matter how strong the Heavenly Ghosts he met were, they couldn't control their power. Where did this Heavenly Ghost get such a strong consciousness? Moreover, he had a method to control his consciousness. This was different from Heavenly Ghosts! (There is a third update today.
