Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 454 Ancient Secrets
The underwater cave is not going straight, so it is impossible to give full play to the speed of the Water Escape Talisman. Qin Chuan has to guard against sudden dangers, so he couldn't catch up to the branch where the monster turned into the cave.

The branched cave was even narrower, and he had to use the beetle puppet to explore the way just in case.

With a "bang", the puppet was shattered by the blow, and the monster in front of it was obviously not inferior to humans in intelligence. Knowing what Qin Chuan was taboo, he took the opportunity to destroy it.

Faced with this situation, Qin Chuan was very helpless. If he was on land, he would not be so aggrieved.

After chasing for a while, he still failed to catch up. The terrain ahead became more and more complicated. Not only did three branches appear again, one of them was still downward. Seeing the monster getting into the downward passage, he felt very vigilant. From the beginning, the giant monster seemed to be planning to lure the enemy to go deep, and there was not a single ghost on the way, which was obviously unreasonable.

At the entrance of the downward passage, the spiritual sense penetrated. This passage is not deep, only three or four feet deep. Below is an oval-shaped space with a width of more than five feet. There is a headless skeleton lying on the ground. , judging by the length of the skeleton, it was several feet taller than ordinary humans. After countless years of immersion in seawater, not only was it not damaged, but the bone was crystallized, exuding a faint purple light, somewhat similar to an amethyst glazed corpse.

Standing on the skeleton, the monster found that Qin Chuan hadn't come after him for a long time. He used his spiritual sense to investigate, and said in his hoarse and indistinguishable voice: "You humble human boy, don't you dare to come down?"

Qin Chuan turned his head and left, this clumsy aggressive method was useless to him.

The monster obviously didn't expect him to be so decisive, and got out from the entrance of the passage again, and the long flowing hair suddenly stretched several feet and circled over.

Qin Chuan didn't hide or dodge, and there was a smile on his face.

The monster was alert, but it was too late. A big net happened to cover him, and it was tightened instantly. Before he could struggle, the black water blade had already pierced his eye sockets. Blind his eyes first.

A yin god fled through the passageway below the dragon-locking pocket. The reason why it is called a yin god rather than a yin soul is because the monster's primordial spirit has condensed into a solid body, breaking away from the category of ordinary yin soul, which is equivalent to that of a monk in the transformation stage. soul.

Naturally, Qin Chuan would not let him go. In the sea water full of evil spirits, the body of the Yin God would soon be eroded, and it was expected that the other party would not be able to cause any more big waves.

However, as soon as he chased into the space below, he knew that he had taken it for granted. The ghost of the monster sank into the skeleton, and the skeleton sat up. Not only that, three ghost beasts emerged from the branching cave next to it. , one of the purple-skeleton cancer skulls blocked the passage he came in.

"Hey... lowly human being, let's see where you go this time!" A buzzing sound came from the abdominal cavity of the headless skeleton that had already stood up.

Qin Chuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, Xuanshui Blade turned into a giant knife and slashed at the Cancer Skeleton behind him.

With a crisp sound of "Dang", a pair of pincers held the giant knife, and there were only a few cracks in the pincers. At the same time, the two bone claws of the headless corpse had been caught, and a bone python circled towards the giant knife. On his legs, a squid-like ghost stretched out its tentacles to cover his head.

This group of ghosts cooperated quite tacitly. If it was on land, Qin Chuan had many ways to deal with it, such as using dust and blue light gourds or tortoises. Fortunately, he was quite well prepared before going into the water. A talisman at his waist was activated, and a phantom of a huge shield blocked his body. At the same time, the mysterious water blade in his hand was replaced with a soul-eating wand.

The sound of "bang bang" sounded continuously, the transformed shield shadow was smashed by the headless corpse, and the blue mask cast by the water-avoiding beads was also pierced by the three-headed ghosts. Fortunately, the defense of the fish scale armor was very good, and finally blocked it This round of attack.

With a wave of the wand, hundreds of black lights shot out. Originally, he didn't intend to use this treasure, but the giant monster reminded him that although the water flow can greatly reduce the power of the soul-devouring evil light, it is not bad at close range. And this thing is naturally restrained against ghosts.

When the headless corpse on the opposite side saw the black light, he knew that something was wrong, but the distance between the two sides was too close, and the attack surface of hundreds of black lights was wide. Black light hit.

There was a scream, and the Yin God quickly escaped from the headless corpse, and the Three Treasure Tree suddenly appeared, and with a single sweep, the Yin Spirit was fixed in the air.

At this time, the giant crab skeleton, bone python and squid are madly attacking the precious light emitted by the fish scale armor. If they give them more than a dozen more breaths, they may be able to perform meritorious deeds. Unfortunately, it is already too late now, and the soul-eating wand hits the top The squid ghost, the ghost was hit by the evil light and was directly injured.

Qin Chuan stretched out his left hand to strangle the bone python's neck, twisted it hard, and the tibia was broken with a "Kaba".

The giant crab skull saw that the situation was not good, and its two pincers clamped respectively at the back of Qin Chuan's head and the soul-eating wand on his right hand. cause psychological stress.

But it had a good plan, but it didn't expect Qin Chuan's response method to be more subtle.

An iron back leaned directly against the Cancer Skull, and under the support of Qi Jin, the force of this support was no less than a thousand catties. Most of the Cancer Skull's sternum was hit and cracked, and its body fell into the passage.

He raised his leg and kicked the body of the bone python away, and then grabbed the Yinshen who was pinned by the Three Treasure Tree. The next thing was easy, and he easily dealt with the three-headed ghosts, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took away the headless corpse and the head bound by the dragon lock, and then escaped into the Xuan Mizhu, preparing to search for the soul of the giant monster's Yin God.

With Qin Chuan's cultivation level, he couldn't directly search for the soul, so he had to use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to first extract the soul and refine the soul, and then extract the memory.

The whole process lasted about half a day, and he was shocked by the information he got.

About 7 to [-] years ago, when the Blue Rain Great World changed, a certain space node between the underworld and this world was accidentally broken, and countless alien races from the underworld flooded into this big world.

The chaotic way of heaven gave these foreign visitors an opportunity, and they planned to enslave this great world.

At that time, in the Blue Rain Great World, the human race had just risen, and it was still the demon spirits who ruled the world. At first, those demon spirits were fighting for territory, ignoring the invasion of foreign races. The bonus area has been occupied.

With a slap in the face, the demon spirit at that time was awakened, and several counterattacks were organized, but as more and more masters poured in from the underworld, the situation was not optimistic.

The war lasted for thousands of years, and the Dao of Heaven finally became stable. The channel connecting the two worlds could no longer be maintained. In addition, those cultivators whose cultivation level was higher than that of the God Transformation were rejected by the Dao of Heaven, and the local demon spirits finally gained the upper hand.

Afterwards, the time for the decisive battle came. There were no more reinforcements from the underworld, and the high-level cultivators were unable to participate in the battle. In the end, the local cultivators won a decisive victory.

The sea area near Skull Island was the place of the decisive battle at the beginning. It can be said that there would be no Skull Island today without that shocking battle. Think about it, what kind of tragic war could change the terrain of a sea area drastically?And this island is actually a huge "grave", buried millions of underworld and native practitioners.

Due to the heavy yin energy here, and the fact that practitioners from the underworld do not practice ordinary spiritual power, a large yin vein has been formed on Skull Island after tens of thousands of years. turned into a ghost.

The Yin God captured by Qin Chuan was named "Halibo", and he belonged to the "Giant Skull Clan" in the underworld. Pay attention to the physical body, and even many of them are acquired yin bodies, which are somewhat similar to the existence of ghost cultivators.

This group of buried people, after a period of recuperation, made a comeback, but what greeted them was not the massacre of local cultivators, but the ruthless strangulation of heaven, and the thunder and punishment alone made most of the comeback cultivators completely Those who fell, and those who survived by chance tried their best to avoid the punishment of heaven.

Among them is a leader, known as the "Big Wheel Pluto", who has set up a "Great Formation of Hiding Yin and Soul" around the Skull Mountain to provide shelter for the survivors.

Halibo is one of the survivors, but he was severely injured in the punishment of heaven, and only his remnant soul resided in the talisman of natal life, but due to sleeping for too long, he actually merged with the talisman of natal destiny, and his talisman of natal destiny was exactly A soul-devouring bead made of soul-devouring wood, so when facing Qin Chuan, he can shoot the soul-devouring evil light, which is also the fundamental reason why he can survive for a long time.

What really shocked Qin Chuan was not these. According to the scattered information obtained from the soul search, the Falling Devil Abyss in the Black Mist Forest was actually the node of the space between the two worlds back then, and it was also the base where practitioners of the underworld had been stationed for a long time.

This can't help but make people wonder, why did the Pluto sect send people to station here?Who set up the super restriction of Falling Demon Abyss?It's a pity that most of Halibo's memories have disappeared, and Qin Chuan can only get so much information.

In addition, Halibo didn't dare to leave Skull Mountain after waking up. He also tried to find his companions, but unfortunately he couldn't find them, but encountered many powerful beings, so he could only hide in his own territory.

After digesting the information, Qin Chuan hesitated. There are still nearly [-] feet from the Skull Mountain to the bottom of the sea, and the coverage is even thousands of miles wide. Not to mention how to deal with those powerful ghosts, even if you run from cave to cave One lap is not something that can be done in a short time.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a fellow with a similar fate to Halibo, so he raised his hand and took out the Seven Treasure Soul-destroying Lamp, "Old Devil Huntian, come out and let me ask you something?"

A phantom of an old man who seemed to be in a daze emerged.

"When you built the Skeleton Gate on Skull Island, you should have inspected the surrounding environment, right?"

"I don't remember clearly!"

"Since you don't know anything, it's useless to keep this broken lamp. It's broken!" Qin Chuan took out a hammer and smashed it at the soul-destroying lamp.

"Ah, wait!"

"Hmph, I don't leave any waste here!" Ever since he got this broken spirit treasure, it hasn't had much effect. Let his patience gradually lose, and now this temptation, the old guy is really pretending.

"Let me think about it, ah... I remembered, I once investigated the situation around Skull Island!"

"Since you like to pretend so much, I won't ask!" After speaking, he raised the hammer again.

"Don't...don't smash it, I know that there is a Pluto Palace under the Skull Mountain, and there may be the inheritance of the Great Wheel Pluto there!"

"Big Wheel Pluto?" Not long ago, Soul Search had just learned of this name, and now he heard it again, which made him have some associations, "What is the relationship between this Big Wheel Pluto and the Pluto Sect?"

The remnant soul of Demon Lord Huntian looked at the hammer dangling in front of his eyes. He knew he couldn't pretend no matter what, so he had to obediently tell the truth, "When I was an elder in Hades Sect, I was lucky enough to enter the seventh floor of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. , I learned from the handwriting of the second generation suzerain of the Hades sect that the founder of the Hades sect may be the clone of the Great Wheel Pluto who came to this world from the underworld. Later, I learned some secrets by chance and decided to open the sect. There is indeed a connection between the Patriarch and the Great Wheel Pluto, so I went to the Vast Sea Continent to investigate, and finally found the ancient battlefield of Skull Island!"

"Well, is it possible that your founding of the Skull Island has something to do with this battlefield?"

"Exactly, I have explored the caves of Skull Mountain several times, and fought with many high-ranking ghost cultivators. Later, I borrowed the Seven Treasure Soul Lightning Lamp from the sect, so that I was able to sweep away those ghosts and reach the entire Skull Mountain. The core area..."

"You said you borrowed the Seven Treasure Soul-Devouring Lamp?"

"Okay...I stole it from the treasure house of the Qi clan. This old man was expelled from the sect because of this incident!"

"No, how did I hear that you were expelled from the sect because you were wanted by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance for using millions of souls to sacrifice Asura banners!"

"That's just a public statement. I do have the Asura Banner sacrifice, but it's nonsense to sacrifice millions of souls. Even if I'm not afraid of being punished by the heavens, I still have to kill millions of souls!"

Qin Chuan also thought about it, this statement is indeed a bit unreliable, "Stop talking about this, go ahead and talk about what you found under the Skull Mountain!"

"I found a Lingbao Immortal Mansion!"

"Is it the Pluto Palace you just mentioned?"

"Exactly!"

"Well, what happened next?"

"Later I tried to enter the Immortal Mansion, but unfortunately it was closed. After several attempts to no avail, I had to use force. As a result, the spirit of the Hades Palace appeared, and it told me that as long as I got the token left by the Great Wheel Hades, not only could I After receiving the Pluto's inheritance, this Lingbao Immortal Mansion will recognize its owner, so I started a sect on Skull Island, hoping to use the power of the sect to find the whereabouts of the token!"

"Oh, what is that token?"

"It's the Pluto Iron Coupon!"

"Pluto iron coupon? Did you find this thing later?"

"No, but I found some clues about the last appearance of the Great Wheel Pluto. He had been to the Vientiane Demon Tomb and the extreme north of the Hanhai Continent 3 years ago. I followed the clues to the northern ice field to check. I was unlucky to meet the Dragon Slayer Or, it turned out like this!"

"Does that big wheel Pluto dare to walk freely in this big world? Isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment?"

"I also asked the spirit of the Hades Palace about this. According to it, the Great Wheel Pluto has successfully passed the punishment of heaven, and his cultivation is close to the legendary Mahayana realm!"

"If his cultivation has really reached that level, he is indeed not afraid of heaven's punishment. By the way, last time I asked you about the jade talisman, you should know where it is used, right?"
