Wonderland

Chapter 1628 Ghost Heaven Scripture

The buildings in Guifeng City were all made of ancient rocks. When Xiao Lin sent out his spiritual sense, he also felt a sense of obstruction. After extending for thousands of miles, he could no longer extend it.

The key point is that this area of ​​thousands of miles is still within the city. This also surprised Xiao Lin very much. The size of Guifeng City is beyond his imagination. It is also the largest city he has seen so far.

Apart from those evil spirits, the rest of the people on the streets are basically ghost monks.

Perhaps they knew that those ghost monks were not easy to mess with, so these evil spirits were as well-behaved as good babies, floating around but deliberately avoiding the paths of those ghost monks.

This does not seem to be consistent with the brutal and bloodthirsty nature of the evil spirit.

As if seeing the doubt in Xiao Lin's mind, Xia Mo said in a voice transmission: "Ghost cultivators are naturally full of ghost energy, which is countless times more dense than the ghost energy on the evil spirits. It can be understood as a kind of blood suppression. When encountering ghost cultivators, these evil spirits will subconsciously choose to avoid them, otherwise they will be destroyed under the attack of the ghost cultivators."

After a pause, Xia Mo continued, "The Ghost Prison Sect is one of the three major sects in Guifeng City. The other two are the Ghost Feng Palace and the Ghost Ming Sect. The Ghost Prison Sect and the Ghost Ming Sect both obey the Ghost Feng Palace. The Ghost Feng Palace is the holy land of the Ghost Feng Mountains and is the true controller of the Ghost Dao lineage in the Ghost Feng Mountains. Among them, Feng Huang is the master of the Ghost Feng Palace."

"Since the Ghost Prison Sect and the Ghost Underworld Sect are two of the three major ghost sects, why do they obey the Ghost Feng Palace? If the Ghost Feng Palace can easily control the Ghost Prison Sect and the Ghost Underworld Sect, then why doesn't it bring the two major ghost sects under its command?"

Xia Mo heard this and smiled slightly, "That's why Brother Xiao doesn't understand the power of the Guifeng Mountains. The Guifeng Mountains are vast and boundless. To the west is the boundless ocean, and to the north is the Xiyu Abyss that makes countless cultivators shudder. As for the south, it is connected to the Savage Swamp, where countless ferocious beasts are hidden. Even the ghost cultivators dare not go deep into it rashly. But even the Guifeng Mountains cover three regions. It is too vast. It is difficult to radiate all the power with the power of the Guifeng Palace alone. That's why the Guifeng Palace supported the Guiyu Sect and the Guiming Sect to manage the vast unowned area for it. Of course, in the Guifeng Mountains, there are hundreds of ghost sects of all sizes, but compared to the three major sects, they have to offer a large amount of Taiyin Stones every year in exchange for safety. If they fail to pay a sufficient amount of Taiyin Stones on time, they will basically be wiped out by the three major sects within three days."

"So that's how it is. Why were those guards so scared when they found out that you, Mo'er, were from the Demon Prison Sect?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Haha, it's very simple, because the task of exterminating those disobedient sects for Guifeng Palace is basically completed by Guiyu Sect. Each of the ten ghost kings of Guiyu Sect is cruel and bloodthirsty. They all practice the Soul Devouring Technique in the Ghost Dao. Their cultivation is unfathomable, and they are at least in the Mahayana stage. This is also the most solid force of Fenghuang. In comparison, Guiming Sect is much gentler. They usually occupy the Taiyin vein resources in the Guifeng Mountains, mine various Taiyin stones, or various precious minerals, and supply them to Guifeng Palace and Guiyu Sect. As for Guifeng Palace, it naturally enjoys the support of Guiming Sect and is at ease."

After listening to Xia Mo's explanation, Xiao Lin had a preliminary understanding of the division of power in the Guifeng Mountains.

This also means that Xia Mo must have been here before, otherwise she wouldn't know it so clearly. Of course, it could also be that the old ghost told her. Otherwise, if Xiao Lin came here alone, in addition to the teleportation array, he would have to face the pursuit of endless ghost monks.

Ghost cultivators are very xenophobic, especially in the Guifeng Mountains, which is a forbidden area for everyone except Ghost cultivators. Once an outsider comes in, they will be attacked by everyone. But there are always exceptions, like Xiao Lin at the moment, who was able to temporarily disguise himself as a Ghost cultivator only after taking the Ghost Qi Pill.

This Ghost Qi Pill can only last for three days, and another pill needs to be taken after three days. Moreover, if those with low realms take too much of this Ghost Qi Pill, it will cause the dissolution of their own magic power and ghost energy, and even lead to some unpredictable consequences. But for a top-level cultivator like Xiao Lin who is in the Tribulation Period, this side effect can be ignored.

Therefore, even if the ghost cultivators in the Guifeng Mountains knew that someone had sneaked into the Guifeng Mountains by taking ghost energy pills, they would most likely turn a blind eye.

After all, it is very difficult to search for it, and even if you find it out, it will cost a heavy price to encircle and kill a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and you may not be able to kill him.

Unless the top beings in Guifeng Mountain come in person.

Although he has not yet returned to the Northern Sky Region, the Guifeng Mountains are connected to the Demon Region in the east, so he already has a way home. Therefore, Xiao Lin is very excited.

However, he cannot return to the Northern Sky Region for the time being, because he has promised Ghost Master that he will go to an ancient secret realm to obtain the Ghost Secret Book for Xia Mo. This Ghost Secret Book is related to Xia Mo's future path of cultivation.

"Brother Xiao, you haven't returned to the Northern Sky Region for thousands of years. I think Sister Xueying must miss you very much. Why don't you go back? Mo'er has the map of that ancient secret realm. You can go and find it by yourself." After a cup of tea, Xia Mo seemed to have figured it out and turned to Xiao Lin and said.

Xiao Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he did not answer Xia Mo directly. Instead, he said after a moment of hesitation: "Mo'er, tell me about that ancient secret realm and the secret book of the ghost way."

"This"

Xia Mo, on the contrary, showed a hesitant expression. The reason for her hesitation was not because she didn't want Brother Xiao to know the truth, but because that ancient secret realm was indeed somewhat dangerous.

If she knew about this, Xiao Lin would definitely not agree to let her go alone. Moreover, she had already guessed Xiao Lin's intention, which was to assess the danger level of this secret realm. In this case, it would be difficult for her to refuse.

Thinking of this, Xia Mo no longer concealed it and began to talk about some secrets about that secret place.

It turns out that the secret place is called [Ghost Cave Heaven], which is the cave where an ancient ghost immortal practiced in seclusion before ascending to heaven. It is rumored that this ghost immortal is the ancestor of today's Tiangui Mountain Range and Guifeng Mountain Range, and the founder of the Ghost Sect in the Spirit World.

Even the ghost cultivators in the mortal worlds related to the Seventeen Spirit Realms, all practiced ghost techniques that were related to this ghost immortal. In fact, they all came from a ghost secret book - [Ghost Heaven Sutra]

This [Ghost Heaven Sutra] is all-encompassing, recording countless magical powers and secret techniques of the ghosts. Speaking of it, both Ghost Old Man and this Feng Huang are disciples of this ghost immortal, just separated by countless generations.

This [Ghost Heaven Scripture] is hidden in the [Ghost Cave Heaven]. Anyone who enters it, if they are blessed, will be able to see the scriptures of the [Ghost Heaven Scripture] on the wall of the underworld, and thus cultivate supreme ghost supernatural powers.

Both Gui Lao and Feng Huang entered the [Ghost Cave Heaven] by chance when they were young. They were able to glimpse the scriptures on the wall of the underworld and then cultivated supreme ghost powers, becoming the overlords of their respective regions.

However, those who are not destined to see it cannot see any scriptures on the dark wall, which is indeed very strange.

Both Ghost Old Man and Feng Huang have studied this strange thing for countless years but still cannot get to the point. However, they know one thing, the legendary supreme ghost secret book - Ghost Heaven Scripture, is within this [Ghost Cave Heaven]. However, where it is located and why the scripture can be revealed on the wall of the underworld are still unknown to them.

But more than a hundred years ago, when Gui Lao was wandering in the void, he had a sudden flash of inspiration and figured out the secret of the [Ghost Heaven Sutra]. However, he was about to ascend to heaven, and even though the [Ghost Heaven Sutra] was all-encompassing, it was of no use to him. Moreover, as long as he showed up in Guifeng City, he would be sensed by Feng Huang. The two were mortal enemies, and a great battle would be ensuing once they met.

Although Fenghuang has not taken the last step yet, his magical powers and fighting ability are no less than Gui Lao. The best result of the battle between the two would be one death and one injury, but if things go wrong, it would be a result of both sides suffering losses.

This was what Gui Lao did not want to see. After all, he was only one step away from ascending to heaven. It was not worth it for him to cut off his path to ascension just for a secret book of ghosts.

After much thought, he came up with the idea of ​​letting Xiao Lin accompany Xia Mo to obtain the [Ghost Heaven Scripture].

What Ghost Old Man practiced was the method of transferring ghosts and gods in the [Ghost Heaven Sutra], and he was on the path of refining the spirit. This was also the fundamental reason why Ghost Old Man was able to take the last step and merge his primordial spirit with the power of rules.

What Feng Huang practiced, however, was the Ghost Banner Technique from the [Ghost Heaven Sutra], and he followed the path of ghost magic. His ghost magic powers were unfathomable and profound, which meant that his combat power should not be underestimated.

It was because they took different paths of cultivation that the two of them were unwilling to submit to each other, either in terms of philosophy or combat power, so that they fought for countless years. Later, Gui Lao got tired of this endless fighting, so he left Guifeng Mountain and went to Tiangui Mountains to establish the Tiangui Sect.

For hundreds of thousands of years, they have lived in peace.

Now that he has comprehended the secret of the [Ghost Heaven Scripture], he naturally does not want to bring this secret with him to the upper realm. Xia Mo is Ghost Master's most respected and beloved disciple. She has excellent aptitude and is intelligent and quick-witted. What she comprehended is one of the ten major rules. If she can obtain this secret book of the Ghost Dao, her future achievements will definitely be better than his.

However, there is a ferocious beast in the [Ghost Cave Heaven], named [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast], which is the bloodline inheritance of the ancient immortal Taotie beast. Although it is unknown how many generations of reproduction it has gone through, this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] has a hobby, which is to suck the souls and devour various ghosts, including ghost monks.

However, this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] happens to possess the magical power to restrain ghost cultivators - the Qi Condensation Technique to Subdue Ghosts. Any cultivator who has practiced the ghost arts, once encountering this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast], will use the Qi Condensation Technique to Subdue Ghosts. As long as the cultivator has ghost energy in his body, the ghost energy will solidify instantly, and his body will also become stiff, unable to move at all, and will be swallowed and eaten by the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast], without even a bone residue left.

This is also the reason why [Ghost Cave Heaven] makes countless ghost cultivators change color when they hear about it. You must know that no matter whether it is Ghost Old Man or Feng Huang, they all accidentally entered it when they were young and had not yet practiced the ghost skills, and then they obtained the skills.

After they had successfully cultivated, they tried to enter it, but they were still defeated by the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] and fled in embarrassment. These two were also the only ghost cultivators who had entered the [Ghost Cave Heaven] and were able to escape unscathed.

But it was different for Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin did not practice any ghost skills, so naturally he would not be solidified by the magical power of the [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast]. The real realm and combat power of this [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beast] was only at the initial stage of fusion, so it did not pose much threat to Xiao Lin.

It’s just that the large number of these [Corpse Demon Taotie Beasts] will cause him some trouble.

After understanding the whole story, Xiao Lin would naturally not let Xia Mo go alone. The reason why Ghost Old Man gave Xia Mo the Demon Fingering Order in exchange for his accompanying her to get the Ghost Path Secret Book was that he had expected this. Only if Xiao Lin accompanied Xia Mo would there be a chance to obtain the [Ghost Heaven Scripture].

"Since there are many [Corpse Ghost Taotie Beasts] living in the [Ghost Cave Heaven], Brother Xiao can't let you go there alone. Let's go." Xiao Lin looked at Xia Mo and said with a smile.

When Xia Mo heard this, her nose felt sore and her eyes began to turn red, but she did not shed tears. Instead, she nodded.

The two men used escape techniques and headed out of the city.

Guifeng City was larger than one might have imagined, and Xiao Lin was unable to mobilize too much magic power to increase his escape speed, so it took them nearly half a day to reach the city gate.

Walking out of Guifeng City, what comes into view is a vast and boundless mountain forest. The trees growing between the mountains and forests are all ghostly and eerie. Even with Xiao Lin's spiritual eyes, he can only see a few dozen miles away. Any further is obscured by endless gray fog.

"Brother Xiao, follow Mo'er. This Guifeng Mountain Range is shrouded in the endless Taiyin Mysterious Qi. The trees growing all over the mountains are unique to the Guifeng Mountain Range, called Ghost Wood. If a Ghost Wood can grow to hundreds of thousands of years, a Ghost Wood Core will grow in the core of the tree. This Ghost Wood Core has another name, which is Soul-Nourishing Wood."

"Oh? The soul-nourishing tree was actually born from the body of this ghost tree." Xiao Lin was amazed when he heard this. The mystery of the creation of heaven and earth was indeed a work of nature, which was amazing.

The soul-nourishing wood is an extremely precious material for refining instruments. Of course, its greatest use is to nourish the soul. Once the physical body of a cultivator is destroyed and before his Yang Spirit is fully developed, he cannot be exposed to the outside world for a long time. At this time, the soul-nourishing wood is needed as a vessel to house the cultivator's soul until a new physical body is found.

"This ghost tree is a unique tree in the Guifeng Mountains. It is also the only one. Other flowers, plants and trees cannot survive in the mountains, so this ghost tree has formed many natural formations. After integrating the Taiyin Mysterious Energy, it has evolved into a powerful illusion formation. Some ghosts even live in the formation, forming a powerful killing formation. Of course, with our realm, we are not afraid of these formations, but we must avoid getting separated. Once we get separated in this endless mountain range, it will be a rather troublesome thing."
