Jiang Yuebai followed four ghost cultivators and two corpse cultivators and took a shortcut deep into the Shura Realm.
The deeper they went, the more unbearable Jiang Yuebai felt. The dark evil energy was pervasive, forcing her to use one part of her spiritual power to suppress her golden elixir and prevent it from absorbing the surrounding Yin energy into its body.
Xiaolu follows Jiang Yuebai in stealth. In the Shura Domain, unless they encounter a strong enemy, Xiaolu will basically take action to resolve the problem.
The Bronze Pillar Prison, the Knife Mountain Prison, the Ice Mountain Prison, the Oil Pot Prison, the Ox Pit Prison, the Stone Pressure Prison, the Mortar Prison… …
Each layer corresponds to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Although it is different from the description in the Samsara Sutra, it can be seen that the people who planned these areas intentionally kept the corresponding evil ghosts and corpses in captivity.
Just like raising a Gu, these evil ghosts and corpses are allowed to kill and devour each other, and only the strong ones can survive.
The true form of a Yin ghost is a soul. After becoming a ghost cultivator, it can still retain some of its previous memories, and its main practice is also spells related to the soul.
The body of the evil corpse is a soulless dead body, nourished by the evil energy. Just like the birth of intelligence in the plant and wood monsters, new consciousness will be born when it reaches a certain level. In the beginning, it only has the instinct to eat blood and flesh. As its cultivation level increases, it can better suppress its own desires.
Corpse cultivators are more like demon cultivators, they focus on their physique, treating themselves as magic weapons and cultivating themselves to be extremely strong, and they also carry various types of corpse poisons.
The six people running in front of Jiang Yuebai at this time were all generals, which was the Jindan stage of human cultivators. Among them, two ghosts and one corpse were in the middle Jindan stage, and the rest were in the early Jindan stage.
The internal levels of ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators are divided into pawns, soldiers, generals, kings, emperors... etc. To avoid trouble, Jiang Yuebai divided them all according to the levels of human cultivators.
They ran around in silence. As long as they released their aura, the evil ghosts and corpses around them that were weaker than them would not dare to approach them.
After passing through Chongjiu Prison and about to reach Blood Pond Prison, Fu Qing, a male ghost cultivator in the early Jindan stage who was leading the way, asked everyone to stop and rest.
"I have accurate information. The woman is hiding in the Ghost Stele Forest behind the Blood Sea City. There is a general's tomb in the west of the center. She is inside. After we have rested, we can go directly to surround the general's tomb and capture her by surprise."
The others nodded, and Jiang Yuebai asked in confusion, "Where did you get the exact information, down to the specific hiding place?"
Fu Qing glanced at Jiang Yuebai unhappily, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about! You are the weakest, so go and guard. Let us recover first."
The others found a place to sit down and absorb the Xuanyin evil energy to replenish their consumption, while Jiang Yuebai worked hard and patrolled the surroundings.
"Xiao Lu, when the time comes, catch the other ghost cultivators, and kill the one called Fu Qing just now!"
[Kill, kill, kill]
Little Green went to the nearby area to eat Yin ghosts. It had eaten a lot recently and its abilities had increased rapidly. It would never let go of any Netherworld Yin Fire it encountered. The phosphorescent fire on the wick and outside the lantern was several times stronger than before.
Jiang Yuebai stood on a high place, looking at the large pits below. They were deliberately dug into the shape of stone mortars for pounding rice. They were filled with bones and rotten meat. Crows transformed from yin energy fell into them and tore the rotten meat to eat.
The rotten meat was not real rotten meat, but evil corpses that had turned into meat paste. When they were not disturbed, they were sleeping in the stone mortar. Once disturbed, they would flow out like water and eat people.
Jiang Yuebai retracted his gaze and recalled what Fu Qing had said.
Anan has always been cautious, so how could he reveal such exact whereabouts? Is this a trap set by Anan
Half a day later, everyone was full of energy. Not giving Jiang Yuebai time to recover, Fu Qing let everyone get back on the road.
Fu Qing led the way and the group arrived at the border of the Blood Pond Prison.
Large patches of blood-red orchids swayed in the wind, separating the two places. The Blood Pond Prison was lower in elevation, and the orchids grew all the way to the edge of the sea of blood. The entire Blood Pond Prison was a large lake of blood.
When Jiang Yuebai saw those blood-red orchids, he knew that Arisaema must be here.
The sea of blood is not water, but the greed, anger, ignorance and blood of the souls that have condensed into a sea.
Greed, anger and ignorance are regarded as the three poisons in Buddhism and are the root of evil. Unlike ordinary poisons that harm the body, blood poison affects the soul and destroys people's heart and will, which is extremely terrifying.
It is rumored that the Blood Sea Ancestor, the supreme soul of the ghost clan and the leader of the nine great generals, is a master of this art. Shen Huaixi's mother is from the Blood Sea Ancestor's lineage, and the Blood Shadow that he and Qing Nangzi practiced is also a technique of this lineage.
Fu Qing was familiar with the route and took everyone around it.
On the way, Jiang Yuebai saw the evil corpse from Chongjiuyu unconsciously approaching the blood-colored orchid. Immediately, roots stretched out from the ground and pierced into the evil corpse to absorb the blood. If someone fell into it, it would be difficult to escape.
With Fu Qing leading the way, Jiang Yuebai and his friends found an area with fewer orchids. They attracted a large number of evil corpses to suppress the blood-colored orchids and successfully entered the Blood Pool Prison.
The sea of blood was boundless, with no end in sight. Jiang Yuebai could only see the corners of a city looming in the depths of the sea of blood amidst the dense blood-colored smoke. However, there was no boat in the sea of blood, making it difficult to cross.
After walking for another day, a large number of tombstones and graves appeared behind the sea of blood. There were who knows how many tens of thousands of them, densely distributed in the wild forest. Owls cried at night, and cold wind blew up dead leaves. The eerie aura made people shudder.
Jiang Yuebai followed the crowd into the forest of ghost steles. Suddenly, a ghost hand stretched out from the tomb nearby and grabbed her ankle. Jiang Yuebai did not hesitate to draw the evil fire from the earth to burn it, and the ghost hand loosened its grip in pain.
The people in front were also surrounded by evil spirits that crawled out of the graves. Jiang Yuebai remained calm and used the bone knife he bought at the ghost market to swing around and drive away the evil spirits.
The two corpse cultivators, a man and a woman, were extremely fierce. They crushed the grave with one foot, dug their iron claws into the ground, grabbed the evil ghosts hiding underneath, and smashed them to the ground.
The four ghost cultivators each displayed their magical powers. Their bodies became ethereal and they penetrated into the tombs, grabbing the evil ghosts and tearing them apart in mid-air.
"Don't fight too long. Be careful not to alert the enemy by making too much noise. You, stay behind to cover us. We'll go first."
Fu Qing pointed at Jiang Yuebai again and left with the others.
Jiang Yuebai was speechless. She finally understood why they were willing to take her with them.
After they walked away, Xiaolu showed his great power and burned all the evil spirits around with a blast of fire. The other evil spirits fled when they saw this.
Jiang Yuebai simply used the Divine Invisibility Talisman and the Turtle Breath Talisman to hide his figure and followed quietly.
boom!
There was a loud bang, followed by a bone-chilling wave of air, freezing everything wherever it passed. Jiang Yuebai was caught off guard, and a layer of frost was blown off his body. He felt as if his spiritual energy was melting.
"It must be Anan!"
The evil fire swept across his body, thawing the ice and frost, and Jiang Yuebai hurried over.
Deep in the dead forest, a huge tomb exploded, leaving behind a shocking deep pit. Inside, a bronze coffin lay fallen, and the zombies inside were torn into pieces.
Behind the General's Tomb, the sounds of fighting accompanied by the howling of ghosts and wolves came one after another. Jiang Yuebai approached cautiously and saw that the four ghost cultivators and two corpse cultivators were surrounding them and using all their killing moves.
Thousands of ghosts were howling, the wind was rising, and a colorless sword light with an icy aura split the dark clouds of thousands of ghosts with one sword. A female cultivator in black came out of the ghost fog with a sword in hand, wearing a black ice armor, and looked heroic.
Her eyes were fierce as she fought her way in and out among the thousands of ghosts. Her target was clear. With a single strike of her sword, the male corpse cultivator who was in front of her was split in half and frozen, exploding into a bloody ice mist.
The female cultivator pointed with her sword, wiping the blood off her face. Her eyes were fearless and full of murderous intent. The cold murderous aura that had been cultivated from years of bloody battles made the remaining people unable to help but retreat and feel fear.
Jiang Yuebai covered his mouth, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Anan! Long time no see!
There is an information gap between the reader and Xiaobai here. The reader has an omniscient perspective and knows that Xie Jingshan is suffering, but Xiaobai does not know!
Xiaobai didn't know that Tiannanxing was so perverted. He only knew that in the spiritual world, with the power of Shanhai Tower, no one dared to kill Xie Jingshan easily.
In addition, Tiannanxing is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Shura Domain is full of ghosts. Xiaobai must wait for the arrival of the elders of the sect and the people from Shanhai Tower before she can be sure. She is looking for Lu Nanzhi to save people, so don’t scold her. If Xiaobai knew as much as the readers, she would definitely not be like this now!
