Shenwu Overlord

Chapter 45 Ghost Ruins
The mottled ancient city walls are glowing with blue light, and the Futu Tower in the distance stands majestically in the dark night.

A faint gray fog shrouded the ruined city, and ghosts swept past from time to time.

Gu Chen shuttled between the broken walls of Can Huan, with a sword in hand, his face full of vigilance, and Bai Ape beside him.

"I didn't expect that after the copper gate, it turned out to be the ghost market."

He murmured that he passed through the copper gate three hours ago, and then found himself in a deserted ancient city.

According to the surrounding environment, he can easily judge that this is the notorious ghost market.

He originally planned to pass by here and stay away from Fenglin Mansion, but he did not expect that after a long circle, his wish was finally fulfilled.

There are evil sects everywhere in this city. Three hours after coming here, Gu Chen has seen no less than five waves of ghosts.

Some are blue-armored skeletons that can walk freely, some are long-winged wandering corpses with most of their bodies rotted away, and some are simply ghosts, passing by him, bringing gusts of gloomy wind.

The most terrifying time was when Gu Chen met a little girl in red with a candied gourd half an hour ago. She was innocent and her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, which was incompatible with this place.

"Brother, do you want to buy candied haws?"

When she came closer and raised her head, her face suddenly rotted, and maggots crawled in and out of her eyes.

Gu Chen's expression changed greatly, and he immediately waved his sword.

It's just that the little girl disappeared in front of him like a cloud of smoke, and then he walked all the way, feeling inexplicably sore in his shoulders.

"Squeak-"

In the end, it was Bai Yuan who screamed a few times, and Gu Chen realized that the girl had not disappeared, sitting on his shoulders all the way, and he was unaware.

This frightened him, the majestic blood energy in his body erupted, and the yang energy was extremely heavy, and he finally drove the lonely ghost away.

Since then, Gu Chen has been walking on thin ice, even if he sees any strange sights in the city, he pretends not to see it.

There is such a saying about the ghost market, it used to be an extremely prosperous and powerful city, even compared to those big cities in the Middle-earth Empire.

No one has gone to the depths of how such an ancient city can appear in the vast forest, but from the broken walls, there is indeed a faint glimpse of the glory of the past.

On the streets, there are Yin soldiers with bronze ancient Ges patrolling the streets, blood-colored skeletons peeling off the thick layer of ashes, pulling out an unknown forest white spar from the inside, and crunching them into their mouths.

Gu Chen turned a blind eye to all of this, he found that these dead things seemed to be in unconscious action, as long as they didn't provoke them, there would not be too much trouble.

He came to a floating tower.

He saw it from a distance. This tower is one of the tallest buildings in the ghost market, with an excellent view.

Pushing open the half-collapsed tower door, using the cold star sword to poke through the dense spider webs, Gu Chen walked along the moss-covered steps to the top of the tower.

There is no dead thing running rampant in this tower, but white bones can be seen from time to time on the steps.

Some of these bones are human bones, some are animal bones, and some are simply bizarre, and they are of a race that Gu Chen can't understand.

It is hard to imagine what has happened here. The reliefs on the walls are soaked with dirty black blood, and it is impossible to see the original appearance full of artistic flavor.

Soon we reached the top of the tower, and across the window, we could overlook the entire ghost market.

This is indeed an ancient city, a city of death. When you are here, even the moon above your head is stained with a few smears of miserable green.

Gu Chen saw the Forbidden Forest Sea in the distance and identified the direction of Fenglin Mansion.

"I'm afraid the Underworld God Palace is searching for me everywhere. If I can't find it in Fenglin Mansion, I will soon find other places. In this case, the ghost market that the world avoids is the safest."

Gu Chen murmured that although the ghost market is very gloomy, it can completely avoid the eyeliner of the Underworld Palace.

He decided to stay here for a while, until the limelight passed.

There wasn't anything to eat here. Fortunately, the storage ring that his mother gave him was filled with a lot of food, and there was even an elixir such as Bigu Pill.

Therefore, he can stay here for a long time until he breaks through into the supernatural power realm.

Confronting the killer of the Underworld God Palace head-on, Gu Chen felt like he had been locked in the gate of hell.

If it weren't for the strange blood pool and the other party's ignorance, he would never have escaped the claws.

This made him even more eager for his own strength, and he must step into the realm of supernatural powers as soon as possible to become a real monk.

Only by becoming a monk can you master those great supernatural powers that call for wind and rain, and it is possible to take revenge.

"The killer's storage ring has a lot of good things, but it can help me break through as soon as possible."

Gu Chen cleaned up the top of the tower and regarded it as his temporary place to stay, so he counted the wealth he had right now.

The killer's storage ring contained two sets of standard robes for the members of the Underworld Palace, several books of spells, as well as many crystals, medicinal pills, and talismans.

In addition to being the hard currency of the monk world, Yuanjing also contains the surging vitality of heaven and earth. Refining it can save many days of meditation.

The killer's net worth is high, and the Yuanjing in the storage ring is enough for Gu Chen to hit the supernatural power state.

He was already at the ninth level of the physical body, and before entering the realm of supernatural powers, there was only the last level left - divine transformation.

The so-called divine transformation, in simple terms, is the transformation of spiritual power into divine consciousness.

In the process of moving from the physical state to the supernatural state, everything from the periosteum, skin, and internal organs must be reborn, and the last step extends to the brain.

The brain is the most important part of the human body, and it is only through the ninth-fold exercise of the physical body that supernatural powers are derived.

Supernatural power, supernatural power, that is, the mastery of the divine mind, only then can the power of heaven and earth be mobilized.

Taking out a pebble-sized Yuanjing, Gu Chen ran the Tianchen Vientiane Art and silently practiced.

He wants to hit the supernatural state with one bang, adjust his mentality, and quickly breathe smoothly, without joy or sorrow.

Seeing that he was meditating and practicing, Bai Yuan was bored, his eyes were rolling, and he ran down the Futu Pagoda.

three days later.

Sitting quietly, the 360 ​​five star orifices on Gu Chen's body suddenly bloomed with brilliance, attracting the power of heaven and earth from outside.

This process lasted for about a stick of incense, and when everything was over, the Yuan force in Gu Chen's body was gurgling, and the total amount soared dozens of times, flowing freely in the meridians of the whole body.

He broke through, and after consuming all the killer's crystals, everything came naturally, without any shackles.

He didn't open his eyes in a hurry, but carefully mobilized the nascent consciousness in his mind and sensed everything around him.

Divine consciousness is transformed by spiritual power, which is similar to the extension of the five senses, but has the ability that the five senses do not have.

At this moment, Gu Chen doesn't need to open his eyes, within a radius of ten feet, even a speck of dust clearly exists in his senses.

Not only that, when he thought about it, a stone five meters away suddenly swayed gently.
