Chapter 172: Abandoned Ghost King (Vote for Tickets)

【You attempted to promote your Heavenly Fate to "Knowledge of Demons" by consuming Heavenly Fate points, but failed.】

【You attempted to promote your Heavenly Fate to "Knowledge of Demons" by consuming Heavenly Fate points, but failed.】

【...】

Six consecutive failures.

Shen Mo's face looked grim.

He gritted his teeth and continued to consume the remaining Heavenly Fate points.

【You successfully promoted your Heavenly Fate to "Knowledge of Demons". Congratulations, you have obtained a new Heavenly Fate: "Insight into All Beings (Purple)".】

"I succeeded!"

Even though Shen Mo's mind was resolute, his emotions couldn't help but fluctuate.

He quickly opened it to check.

【Insight into All Beings (Purple): You have gained the ability to perceive information about all living beings in the world. By consuming equivalent spirit stones, you can deduce the weaknesses of selected beings.】

"Just as I expected, after promoting to Knowledge of Demons, the range of insight is enhanced!"

"Originally, I could only perceive the weaknesses of demon beasts, but now, even the Heavenly Demons and Soul Ghosts are included."

"I just don't know if I can find a way to gain an advantage from the weaknesses of the Ghost King!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ghost King had a playful attitude, Shen Mo quickly equipped the "Insight into All Beings".

A curtain of light instantly appeared before his eyes.

The previous "Record of Sight and Knowledge" also upgraded, splitting into several pages.

Including demon beasts, humans, Heavenly Demons, Soul Ghosts, and other branches of beings that Shen Mo had encountered.

Under the category of Soul Ghosts, a large number of ghost creatures were marked.

【Hungry Ghost】

【Green Skin Ghost】

【Bride Ghost】

...

【Hundred Bodies Ghost】

【Abandoned Ghost King】

"Tian Shun... Tian Qi, it seems that this is the title of the Ghost King!"

Shen Mo's gaze shifted as he examined the more detailed information.

【Soul Ghost: Abandoned Ghost King】

【Realm: Early Third Stage】

【Description: This ghost was originally the ruler of the Tian Shun Kingdom. When the capital fell, it became a fierce ghost at the third stage due to the influence of the dynasty's fortune.

Because it was once a ruler of a country, it possesses the ability to command all ghosts and is a natural king among ghosts.

Under the heavens, there is no land that is not the king's.

Within the territory of the Abandoned Ghost Kingdom, this ghost can move freely and appear instantly with a single thought.

Due to the abandonment and scheming of disciples from the Immortal Sect and wandering cultivators, countless ghost energies were directed towards its territory. As a result, this ghost harbors deep hatred towards living cultivators.】

【Weakness: This ghost was scalded by charcoal fire when it was alive, leaving a huge vulnerability in its soul. It is extremely afraid of flames.

It has no resistance against fire-based immortal techniques, artifacts, Divine Abilities, and special flames. It can be injured by exploiting this weakness.】

"Afraid of flames, almost zero resistance to fire!"

Shen Mo's eyebrows relaxed.

He didn't have high-level flames like Spirit Fire or Heavenly Fire.

However, he had refined a Dark Underworld Fire and had a few Firebird Talismans on him.

In addition, there was a fire attribute flying sword in the Profound Grade lower-grade artifact that was gathering dust in his Qiankun Bag.

"Are you... prying into my secrets?"

A dignified and cold voice resounded.

Shen Mo was startled, he looked up and saw the Abandoned Ghost King staring at him with an unfriendly expression.

Of all the ghosts he had encountered, whether weak or fierce, foolish or cunning, none of them had ever spoken.

The Abandoned Ghost King was the first to speak!

The breakthrough process is still ongoing.

However, it does not affect Shen Mo's actions.

He secretly mobilized the Yin Ming Fire in his dantian.

At the same time, he took out the Profound Grade Inferior Fire Attribute Sword from the Qiankun Bag and held a bird-shaped talisman in his fingertips.

After making thorough preparations, he spoke, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Although we are now enemies, I naturally have to use means to see through Your Majesty's true intentions."

This also reminded Shen Mo.

Unlike before, third-order spiritual beings, including Spirit Sea Realm cultivators and above, have extremely keen spiritual senses.

Even if they use the ability "Insight into All Beings," there is no spiritual energy fluctuation or any signs of spiritual light.

However, they can still perceive someone spying on them.

Of course, there is only Shen Mo, a living cultivator, present, so only the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment can immediately lock onto him.

Under normal circumstances, even if a cultivator becomes aware of it, they would not know who is spying on them, let alone pinpoint Shen Mo's location.

"Oh?"

The Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment's malicious expression did not diminish. At this moment, a hint of interest appeared on his face.

"What secrets of mine have you been able to spy on? If you can accurately tell me, I will appoint you as a high-ranking official in the New Dynasty!"

A high-ranking official in the New Dynasty?

Doesn't that mean becoming a ghost creature and dying?

Shen Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

But since the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment was interested, he naturally wouldn't rush in to fight.

Even with the ability "Insight into All Beings," even if he discovered the Ghost King's fear of fire weakness, it would only give him a slight chance of survival.

It is almost impossible to defeat the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment!

Moreover.

Who knows, in the next moment, he might be able to escape from the Ghost Gate Secret Realm.

Being able to delay for a moment is also good!

Shen Mo would not be foolish enough to expose the true details to it.

Otherwise, with its heavy defenses, it would not be easy for the Yin Ming Fire to make any achievements.

After a moment of thought, Shen Mo spoke, "Your Majesty seems dissatisfied and holds such great malice towards me. Do you bear resentment in your heart?"

"Resent those immortal masters who abandoned you like worn-out shoes! Resent them for not saving you?"

The Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment was clearly struck by these words.

The ghost energy mixed with a trace of golden brilliance in his body violently churned.

"Hmph!"

"If that's all, I don't have any complaints!"

"Before I died, I had already stated that I would live and die with the country. They didn't save me. I... don't resent them!"

"But who could have imagined that those immortal masters who always claimed to care for the mortal world would treat my kingdom as a filthy swamp."

"They used various means to gather all the ghost energy from other places into my kingdom."

"Otherwise, how could I have fallen to such a state?"

"And my people, how could they have turned into foolish and pitiful ghosts?"

Although Shen Mo had already learned the truth of this upheaval from "Insight into All Beings," hearing it from the Ghost King of Heaven's Abandonment still stirred up great waves in his heart.

Perhaps.

Including Qingzhou, where the Linjiang Sect was located, the entire territory of the Chiyan Kingdom was invaded by Yin Ming ghost energy and turned into a ghost country.

Then, the various major and minor immortal sects and the old monsters in the Yuan Dan Realm, who once dominated the region, treated the Tian Shun Kingdom and its tens of millions of living beings as sacrifices.

They gathered all the ghost energy from various places into the Tian Shun Kingdom.

Causing it to completely become a realm of demons and ghosts!

Shen Mo suspected.

When he appeared on the city wall and chatted with Zhang Tai'an, it was the moment when the various immortal sects launched their methods.

That's when the upheaval began!

Otherwise, even if there were rampant ghosts in the Tian Shun Kingdom, people could still survive.

They could still recuperate and slowly recover their vitality until the ghost energy dissipated, so that the entire country would not become a realm of ghosts!
