In the Xiaoyun Realm, the time between yin and yang changes, and the time between the sun and the moon is not much longer than that in the human world, so a month here passes extremely quickly.
On this day, in a valley that looked extremely ordinary, the ground suddenly shook without warning.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of Yin Qi surged out from the ground, causing the vegetation in the valley to wither and wither.
And those weak creatures could not escape the disaster. They fell to the ground after running a few steps, and their bodies quickly turned into bones!
As a large amount of Yin Qi evaporated, ghostly roars resounded in the valley. At the most piercing place, there was the shadow of a simple building door with hooked eaves and corners.
On the walls on both sides of the hole, there is a blood-red hexagonal pattern, which looks like a pair of blood eyes and two balls of blush, which looks extremely evil.
But if you look closely, you will find that these two blood spots are composed of countless blood-colored runes, and they are extremely mysterious.
After a flash, the surrounding Yin Qi crazily poured into these runes, immediately making the shadow of the building door more solid.
In just one stick of incense, the entire building gate turned into reality, with a plaque hanging on it and the three characters "Ghost Gate Pass" written in ancient characters!
At this time, a strong suction force burst out from the opening of the hole, devouring the pure Yin energy gathered in the valley, and swept away many low-level ghosts.
Although this ghost gate swallows Yin Qi very quickly, no matter how much it swallows, more Yin Qi surges out from the ground, as if there is no end at all!
After a moment, the Yin Qi in front of the Ghost Gate shook, and two black figures suddenly appeared, and both looked at the Ghost Gate in front of them.
The two black shadows were one large and one small, with extremely different body shapes. At this moment, with the dark wind on their bodies, they each revealed their true appearance.
Among them, the one with a height of two feet was a huge ghost with the head of a bull and the body of a bull. It had gray-white skin, wore dark and ferocious armor, and had a bright yellow copper ring embedded in its nose.
But the dark figure, who was no more than five feet tall, turned out to be a pretty girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and was wearing purple rosy clothes.
"Purple Heart King, once you and I leave, only the Buddha Bone King will be guarding here. If any accident happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to explain."
The bull-headed giant ghost said hesitantly.
"If you are really worried, then just stay by yourself and stop nagging in my ears!"
After glancing at the other party, the Purple Heart King said in an unhappy tone.
"That won't work. My Wuyin Heart-locking Hammer is almost ready for sacrifice. I have to go to the ghost market this time!"
The bull-headed giant ghost immediately shook his head when he heard this and told the reason why he came here today.
"You want to refine treasures, shouldn't I be anxious to break through the bottleneck?!
Don’t worry, it only lasts a few dozen days, and now we have reached a preliminary agreement with them. They will not make any moves until the bet is settled!"
It's not without reason that King Purple Heart dared to leave his post without permission.
After the initial battle, both the Blood Heaven Alliance and the Ten Kings of Underworld tested each other's strength.
Since the resources of Xiaoyunjie are not enough for both sides to fight at the cost of serious damage to their vitality, after some discussions, both sides agreed to a battle of the strong.
Each side sent five powerful Mahayana warriors to fight one-on-one, and the final outcome would determine the distribution of Xiaoyun Realm's resources.
The King of Purple Heart and the bull-headed giant ghost called "King of Evil" are two people in the Underworld.
In addition, there is a Buddha Bone King, but he obviously has no interest in the ghost market and does not appear here at the moment.
"Jie Jie, I am interested in the spiritual objects in the ghost market, but you want the people in the ghost market!
In this case, we don’t need mother-in-law and mother-in-law, let’s go!”
After letting out a sinister smile, the Jisi King strode into the gate of hell.
Looking at his back, a trace of disdain immediately flashed in the eyes of the Purple Heart King, and then he moved his lotus steps slightly and stepped into the gate of hell.
In the days that followed, ghosts continued to be attracted here by the pure yin energy in the valley. However, because Xiaoyun Realm was a new interface, not many of these ghosts had intelligence, and their cultivation levels were generally low.
What's more important is that they don't know what opportunities and dangers there are in the ghost gate.
Therefore, after hesitation, the ghosts only dared to refine the Yin Qi in the valley, but did not dare to enter the ghost gate.
At this moment, the Yin Qi in a place in the valley suddenly rolled up, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared out of thin air.
There is no doubt that these two people are Luo Hong and Sikong Ying in disguise!
As soon as he appeared, Luo Hong walked towards the ghost gate with Sikong Ying without even looking at the ghosts.
Such an action immediately attracted the attention of all the ghosts. As expected, before Luo Hong and the two entered the ghost gate, a ghost said:
"Two fellow Taoists, do you know what this vision is?"
"Fellow?"
Situ Ying immediately smiled disdainfully, and then released the powerful aura of his own ghost-refining spirit.
In an instant, the surrounding ghosts, whose cultivation level was higher than Nascent Soul, were immediately oppressed to the point where their ghost bodies trembled violently, and they all showed signs of pain.
"Senior, please be merciful! If we violate any taboo, I will leave immediately!"
The terrifying strength gap immediately dispelled the greed of these ghosts. They didn't want to stay here for a moment, they just wanted to escape as far away as possible!
"You are so scared, do you think I am fierce?"
Situ Ying looked at the ghosts and sneered.
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Although all the ghosts were cursing in their hearts, they did not dare to show it at all.
"Hmph, the name of this thing is 'Guimen Pass', which is the result of the laws of heaven in the underworld. Once you enter it, you can go to the underworld and the underworld. It is no better than suffering in the yang realm!"
However, what the ghosts didn't expect was that after intimidating them, Situ Ying actually kindly gave them some pointers.
The law of yin and yang is one of the foundations of all interfaces. There will only be an interface where yin and yang are out of balance, but there will not be an interface where there is extreme yin or extreme yang.
The only difference between the so-called Yin world and the Yang world is whether there are more yang attributes or more yin attributes in the spiritual beings in the world.
If it is the former, before the sun rotates in the world, more of the power of the sun will remain in all things, making ghosts feel uncomfortable even if the moon hangs high.
On the contrary, in the underworld, even if the sun rises three poles, weak ghosts can move a little bit.
"Lord Tianzun, if we bring these ghosts with us, we can be safer among them."
Of course, Situ Ying did not dare to make any arbitrary decisions. When she spoke, she also sent a message to Luo Hong.
"Mosquitoes, no matter how small they are, are still meat. Since they have brought them to your door, bring them with you."
Luo Hong said casually.
He has decided that after arriving at the ghost market, he will collect some ghosts and send them to the Netherworld Cave according to the situation.
Enough ghosts are also a part of refining treasures. As long as conditions permit, he will certainly not abandon the near and seek the far.
"That's it, thank you senior!"
How did the ghosts know the sinister intentions of the two people in front of them? After hearing this, they immediately thanked them and secretly sighed in their hearts that although Situ Ying was ugly, he was still a nice person!
"Let's go, don't miss the time."
After Dandan gave an order, Luo Hong stepped into the gate of hell.
Situ Ying bowed his hands and followed suit immediately.
When the ghosts saw this, they secretly guessed at Luo Hong's cultivation level and couldn't help but believe in the two of them.
After hesitating for a few breaths, ghosts began to fly into the ghost gate.
Then, as if they were afraid that others would steal their opportunity, these ghosts all swarmed towards the gate of hell.
Only a handful of ghosts chose to stay in the valley after hesitating for a while.
...
In the Huangquan Realm, under the Wu Zang Peak of the Sanhun Mountain Range, a huge tower gate with a height of 1,000 feet is standing on the earth.
Large streams of extremely pure Yin Qi constantly surged out of it, but before it spread far, the Yin Qi was rapidly diluted, making the concentration of Yin Qi near Guimen Pass even stronger than the Yin Qi in the Sanhun Mountain Range.
Those are about 10%.
It is also extremely difficult to absorb the pure Yin Qi that surges out at high speed into the body, so there are no ghosts staying to practice near this ghost gate.
The ghosts that followed the pure Yin energy and flew out of the ghost gate in groups just glanced around and immediately flew towards the Wu Zang Peak not far away.
When the few ghosts who had never participated in the ghost market saw this scene, they also realized that the place where the ghost market was held was on the five strange-shaped peaks not far away.
"Haha, this is the underworld! What a rich yin energy!"
"I will practice here from now on and never go back!"
"Thank you two seniors for your support all the way. I will definitely repay you when I succeed in my cultivation!"
....
After shouting for a while, the group of ghosts from Xiaoyun Realm dispersed under the disdainful eyes of the other ghosts, looking for their own opportunity.
Sikong Ying paid no attention to them at this time. In her opinion, these ghosts had no use value and they would be gone if they were scattered.
"It's really back!"
While flying away from the gate of hell unhurriedly, Situ Ying raised his head and looked at the two bloody suns in the sky, feeling a little nervous and regretful in his heart.
Feeling uneasy, she immediately looked at Luo Hong and said carefully:
"Lord Tianzun, where should we go next?"
"Find a place to rest for a few days first. I need to adapt to the laws of heaven and earth in the underworld."
Luo Hong immediately said in a deep voice.
Just now, after making sure that there were no high-level ghosts around, Luo Hong temporarily removed the little black ball's cover of his body's aura. As a result, he immediately felt the underworld's rejection of him.
With this posture, I almost pointed at my nose and told him to get out!
Under such circumstances, if he takes action against others, it will easily lead to the chains of law, putting him in a disadvantageous situation.
Although even if he resists the chains of law, ordinary Mahayana ghosts will not be his opponent, but you must know that the underworld may be smaller than the spirit world, but it is essentially an interface of the same level.
The Ten Kings of Underworld may not be the only strong ones in this world!
Therefore, Luo Hong thinks that we should be careful.
Fortunately, although the Ghost King's incarnation has been working as his tool outside the territory, Luo Hong's upgrade plan for Netherworld Cave was made long ago.
Of course, since then, the Ghost King's incarnation has received a lot of training resources.
Right now, the cultivation level of this incarnation is neither strong nor weak, but it is in the middle stage of integration.
So as long as he keeps a low profile, Luo Hong can avoid most dangers with this incarnation.
"There is a small town there, why not..."
Sikong Ying swept his consciousness and discovered a small town inhabited by mortals on the outskirts of the mountain range.
But halfway through her words, she was interrupted by Luo Hong.
"The town is crowded, let's go to the temple on the mountain and stay there for a few days!"
After that, Luo Hong ordered the avatar to turn around and head straight towards the ruined temple.
Sikong Ying had no objection. After flying away for three hours, they landed on a mountain with withered trees.
It wasn't that Luo Hong didn't want to fly directly into the temple, but that there was a formation guarding him nearby.
Although it's not a powerful formation, if you don't want to make any noise, it's still hard to do it directly.
Unexpectedly, they had not gone far along the mountain path when they met a group of mortals.
Luo Hong took a cursory look at them and saw that one of them had thin skin and tender flesh, and looked like a young master.
There is another one who is also fair-looking, but carries a big book basket and is probably a book boy.
The other eight people were all well-dressed and holding weapons. They were obviously the young master's bodyguards.
Luo Hong had not had contact with mortals for many years, and now he was in the underworld. He couldn't help but become interested, and asked through a message:
"If there are scholars, there will be scientific examinations. Is there still a mortal dynasty in the underworld?"
"Lord Tianzun, you don't know. Although there are mortal dynasties in the underworld, they are definitely not the same thing as those that younger generations have seen in the classics of the spiritual world!"
Sikong Ying is indeed a person who has lived in both worlds. Hearing this, he immediately knew that Luo Hong had misunderstood.
"The mortal dynasty in the spiritual world books is in charge of power by mortals or low-level immortal cultivators appointed by sects. The purpose is to maintain the stability of the mortal world and continuously acquire people with cultivation qualifications.
But the mortal dynasty in the underworld is run by ghosts, and its purpose is just to maintain the number of mortals to meet the needs of ghosts!"
Hearing this, Luo Hong couldn't help but frown. He understood what Sikong Ying meant. Humans were raised as domestic animals in the underworld. No wonder the other party was so resistant to coming back.
"Where have all the immortal cultivators gone?"
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Luo Hong doesn't believe that everyone will sit still and wait for death. Sikong Ying in front of him is a living example.
"Compared to mortals, immortal cultivators are in a worse situation. High-level ghosts like to treat human immortal cultivators as blood food.
Therefore, every mortal dynasty will strictly test the spiritual roots of civilians, select those with outstanding talents, and focus on cultivating them.
Once they become successful in cultivation, they will be controlled and then sold at a price.
After a few days, Master Tianzun will be able to see many such products as long as he goes to the ghost market.
Of course, there are also some lucky ones who slipped through the net or were rescued from the place where they were cultivated.
Among these immortal cultivators, there are those who practice the way of swallowing ghosts like the younger generation, and there are also those who have lost hope and turned to the ghost way, but they are not the mainstream in this world.
The real controllers of this world are the various ghost clans born from different underworlds!"
Sikong Ying sighed and said.
Luo Hong opened his mouth at this moment, but did not say anything.
Because the Yang Realm is where people live comfortably, while the Yin Realm is where ghosts live comfortably. This is the way of heaven.
There is no way to change it unless you disrupt the yin and yang of the entire interface.
"Brother, this person next to you is your ghost servant?"
At this time, the young master's voice suddenly came, and it was obvious that he was talking to Luo Hong.
"What is a ghost servant?"
Looking at the guards who were on guard, Luo Hong asked in a voice message.
"It seems that the appearance of the juniors frightened them. Ghost servants are mortals who have been cast on ghosts. They are usually used to punish low-level ghosts and then be given to high-ranking officials among mortals.
Lord Tianzun, they must regard you as some kind of big shot!"
