I have an eternal eye

Desolate, strange, cold...

Even though the heat has passed and it rains heavily in other places, it is still freezing cold near Onishijin.

The cold power of the Styx overflowed, causing the surrounding frost to spread, forming layers of brittle ice shells that made a crunching sound when stepped on.

It was originally flat, but now it has been trampled to pieces.

Many people gathered outside the ghost city. Looking around, there were at least five to six thousand people, most of whom were wild cultivators. They poked their heads and looked at the rolling Styx River in the distance.

A small boat floated slowly over.

It is a very simple awning boat. The hull is made of bronze and is stained with rust. I don’t know what it is made of. There is a lantern hanging on the bow, and a faint ghost fire flickers.

On the boat, a figure loomed, clearly a ghost.

Seeing so many people looking forward to it, the ghost boatman obviously couldn't react, but he still said in a cold voice: "The boat fee is ghost crystal, five liang per person, and those below the third level of Taoism are not allowed to enter."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion.

After the ghosts die, they will leave behind spiritual materials, which are divided into Yu, Shi, Pan, and Dan.

The lowest "surplus" can only be used for magic consumption. It is not sold at Lushan Market at all and is only traded in Lushan City Night Market.

Today's monks mostly trade with "stone".

Although five taels of "stone" is a bit expensive, many people can afford it with gritted teeth, but the fact that the third-level Taoist practice is prohibited from entering makes many people dissatisfied.

"Why?"

"That's right, didn't you say that you want to open up to the outside world? Are you afraid that too many people will go there and disperse the negative energy?"

Taking advantage of the crowd, someone said something strange.

The ghost boatman was not angry, but said indifferently: "If you are not of the third level of Taoism, you can't stand the Yin Qi in the ghost city. If you don't give out a stick of incense, you will freeze to death."

After saying that, he didn't bother to explain anymore, "The boat can accommodate ten people, so don't waste time."

During his lifetime, he was originally a monk who died in the battle between ghosts and monsters in Luzhou. His soul was collected by the soul-calling flags, and he became a subordinate of Cao Wei. He practiced the way of ghosts and immortals. Although he had no body, his spirit could still remain clear.

This is the inheritance of Styx.

The only drawback is that like Cao Wei, he is bound to Gui Shijin and cannot leave the Styx in this life.

Today, at least one-fifth of the monks have reached the third level. After hearing this, they no longer hesitated. The smarter ones boarded the ship directly, while the more cautious ones waited and watched carefully.

After all, Gui Shijin is a very strange place, where yin and yang are difficult to distinguish, and the spiritual world overlaps with the real world.

They are not afraid of ghosts in the city. They have seen too many ghosts since they started practicing, but they are afraid that something will suddenly go wrong. The ghosts will take their living souls and disappear into the spiritual world, while their physical bodies will be stranded in the world to wait for death.

Looking at the ghost ship slowly drifting away, everyone stood on tiptoes to watch, but only those who had learned the gazing technique could see the black mist in the distance on the lake, with the faint shadow of a small town.

The people sitting on the boat also looked wary.

They felt as if they had entered the spiritual world. The surroundings were dark, and the crowds on the shore in the distance disappeared. Floating corpses appeared in the river, with black eyes staring at them coldly.

Before the opening of Ghost City, the rules had been revealed. Within the scope of the Styx River, all ghosts were under the jurisdiction of the Diyin General Cao Wei. As long as they did not attack randomly, they would not be attacked.

In addition, when ghost cultivators and demon cultivators enter the River Styx, human cultivators are not allowed to attack at will.

Even so, everyone on the boat had their backs tensed and everyone was on tenterhooks.

At the same time, they also knew why people under the third rank were not allowed to enter. Before they arrived at Ghost City, they were already cold and shivering.

Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way.

Here, the Styx River passed by Cao Wei and attracted the Yin of the Earth again and again. It had expanded to a width of a hundred miles. In less than three sticks of incense, the ghost city was visible ahead.

Today's ghost city is very different from the original one. Not only is a famous ghost soldier standing on the city wall, wearing armor, with red eyes looming under his helmet, but there is also a scholar-looking ghost at the door to register for entry into the city.

A huge shadow of a long flag stands above the city. It seems to be made of black mist. It is looming, and it is the soul-calling flag.

Seeing everyone coming ashore, the ghost scholar said coldly: "You need to sign a bond to enter the city. Anyone who disturbs the order in the city will be killed!"

"If you need to rent a shop, you can go to the Ghost Market Department..."

"If you want to go to the Ancient Spirit Realm, you need to sign a life and death certificate, and the ship fee is one hundred taels of ghost crystal..."

Listening to his explanation of the rules, everyone on the boat was not surprised but delighted.

As low-level monks, and having tasted the benefits of Lushan Market, they are not afraid of rules, but afraid of lack of rules.

Especially this shop has not yet been taken over by the sect. They took the risk of being the first to board the ship for this very reason.

Immediately, several people hurriedly entered the city, ignoring the sightseeing around, and hurried to the so-called ghost market office.

Fortunately, the rental price is affordable, but the tax is high and requires a 10% tax.

The news quickly spread back to the shore, and the crowd was even more commotion. No one hesitated anymore. They almost started fighting over the spots to cross the river. As groups of monks arrived, Gui Shijin became lively.

In the Yin Temple in the city, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Biao took a sip of Wanghun Wine and said with a smile: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, Gui Shijin will definitely occupy an important position in the ancient Yuan world in the future."

Today, he has seen the true nature of Cao Wei.

Both cowardly and cautious, they don't want to offend either party, they just want to manage their own three-acre land well.

"I still need fellow Taoist Taoist Tai Sui to take care of me..."

Facing Zhang Biao, Cao Wei was very cautious, not only because of the opponent's behavior, but also because of what happened before.

The strange phenomena in the ice field in northern Xinjiang, because there is something similar to the Styx River, so many sects came to inquire about it.

Of course Cao Wei denied it, but he knew it was Zhang Biao because the other party came here to collect a large amount of Styx water.

The other party was able to cover up the chaos formation and take back the origin of the world. Cao Wei already had a terrible guess, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Zhang Biao naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he asked: "My fellow Taoist made the Styx River run through the Ancient Spirit Realm, which is a blessing to the Ancient Yuan Realm, but I don't know how far the Styx River has traveled now?"

Cao Wei told the truth: "With the power of the Styx River, we can go forward for thirty miles, but some places in Beiyin Mountain are too dangerous and the Styx River cannot get close, so we have to follow the flow and wind around, which is actually less than ten miles."

"I don't know how big Beiyin Mountain is, but it will probably take several years to penetrate it..."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Beiyin Mountain and the Ancient Yuan Realm will overlap for fifty years. The next time will be the Senluo Prison, located in the southwest of Huaizhou."

After Cao Wei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the tip."

He was able to negotiate with the sect all because of the Ancient Spirit Realm, but he only knew the location of Beiyin Mountain and knew when the next Ancient Spirit Realm would appear, so he could make plans in advance.

This news was like an opportunity to him. Thinking of this, he had secretly made up his mind to please the person in front of him from now on.

Zhang Biao smiled lightly and didn't care.

The Ancient Yuan Realm is in decline, and the Ancient Spirit Realm is the only opportunity for monks in this world. "Xuanhuang" cannot always rely on it. It is also good for him if the strength of the monks in this world can grow.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao stopped sitting any longer, and led the way to Guishijinhou Ferry under the guidance of Cao Wei.

A huge ship has parked here, about ten feet high, also with a bronze shell, but the ship's pavilion above was recently built, with bronze coffins parked inside.

Cao Wei explained: "This boat was obtained together with the Styx Heritage. If you want to pass through the Ancient Spiritual Realm, you can only enter through the Styx Spiritual Realm."

"With the monk's physical body hidden in it, he can use the treasure ship to travel through the spiritual world and enter the ancient spiritual realm to reappear."

"According to the original agreement, I have handed over the shipbuilding method to the major sects. They also have private ships, and this one is used to transport wild cultivators."

As he said this, he said with some embarrassment: "I'm stupid. Building this ship has consumed all my savings. When Gui Shijin is running smoothly, I will build another one for Qingfeng Village. If you want to enter the ancient spirit realm, I will Here’s the arrangement…”

"No."

Zhang Biao shook his head and said, "When someone asks you what you saw later, just cover it up for me."

After that, he looked into the distance.

Cao Wei also felt something, and suddenly turned his head to look to the southwest. Then he saw a strong wind howling, the Styx River surging, and a huge black mist flying from the river.

Zhang Biao said in a deep voice: "From now on, I will enter the Ancient Spirit Realm from other parts of the Styx River, and you can tell the Styx Navy to ignore it."

Cao Wei is the god of this Styx River. Youqian City enters the Ancient Spiritual Realm from the Styx River, so he can't hide it, so Zhang Biao simply came to say hello in advance.

"Yes Yes!"

Cao Wei didn't dare to ask any more questions and nodded quickly.

Zhang Biao smiled slightly and held a magic formula in his hand. He saw the strong wind roaring around him and the figure disappeared instantly.

This is the technique of the Tiaowei channel: Wind Escape.

Shadow Escape is good at sneaking, but in terms of speed, Wind Escape is even better. Zhang Biao has been practicing very well during this period.

Seeing the large group of black mist float away, Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head slightly, and returned to the Yin Temple.

As soon as they entered the temple, a ghost fairy came forward to report that hundreds of people had signed life and death certificates and were going to the ancient spirit realm. News also came from the sect that a boat crossing the river would arrive soon, asking him to distribute the Styx River Pass token.

After hearing this, Cao Wei snorted coldly: "In such a hurry, do you really think that the ancient spirit realm is so easy to break into!"

"That's all. I've warned you beforehand that whether you live or die depends on your destiny..."

…………

The Styx River in Gui Shijin will disappear from the real world after traveling a hundred miles, flowing from the spiritual world directly to the ancient spiritual realm.

Although Youqian City is covered by the divine domain and the physical body can travel across all realms, to prevent accidents, Zhang Biao still hid his physical body in the Styx coffin and placed it in the core of Youxian City.

In a few breaths, we have reached the outside of Beiyin Mountain.

Zhang Biao had already come to explore this Beiyin Mountain. Because the Ancient Spirit Realm is equivalent to another world, neither the real world nor the spiritual world can be seen from the outside.

But now, as the Styx River rolls, hazy mountains have appeared in the distance, looming, seemingly virtual and solid, and dark.

Only the River Styx runs through it.

"Okay, get ready to enter!"

Master Qianji also spoke in a serious tone, and with a warning, the entire Youqian City suddenly sank.

Under the power of Youqian City's "moment", the rolling Styx River surged like a water curtain, passing over the two of them, forming a dome-like dome.

This is the way to enter the Ancient Spirit Realm. You must sneak into the River Styx in order not to be affected by the outer power of the Ancient Spirit Realm.

Even so, Zhang Biao could still feel that they had passed through a thick layer of sticky paste.

This layer is a bit like the original chaotic formation of the world. It is naturally formed. It seems thin, but there is a vast interlayer space.

The difference is that in the chaotic formation, you will lose your direction, your spiritual energy will continue to dissipate, and you will die of despair.

In this mezzanine space of Beiyin Mountain, the soul and body will be blown away by the howling wind.

Passing through the mezzanine space, Youqian City floated up, and a huge world appeared in front of you.

These are towering peaks, so dark that you can't see their appearance at all. You can't even see the top of the mountain. The Styx River flows meandering between the peaks, surrounded by cliffs.

It was cold, desperate, and the wind was howling, and even the air seemed to be filled with cold murderous intent.

Zhang Biao has put on the Fang Xiang Nuo mask, his four eyes on his forehead are flashing red, and his field of vision is rapidly expanding.

But even if there is a Nuo surface, you can only see the scene within a radius of ten miles. If it is further away, it will be dim and difficult to distinguish.

The space in the ancient spirit realm is also a bit weird. It is difficult to distinguish the yin and yang between the spirit world and the real world. Zhang Biao can even sense that the power of the dream world fleets in some places.

Master Qianji also transformed into a big metal spider, stood with him on the city wall, his eyes flashed with red light, and said: "In the chessboard world, there are also ancient spirit realms, but our Styx inheritance has long since disappeared. Entering the Yin Temple in the spiritual world, the technique of Hades’ Puppet was also discovered there.”

"This ancient spirit realm is usually the aggregation of broken worlds. It is definitely not a good thing that can still exist after the destruction of the world. I have explored it several times and almost lost my life, but I also gained something."

Zhang Biao thought thoughtfully: "This ancient spirit realm will overlap with different worlds every once in a while. When we go to the chessboard world in the future, can we enter it from here?"

"It's not that simple."

Master Qianji shook his head and said: "When the Ancient Spirit Realm overlaps with other worlds, we may be able to deduce the time based on the intelligence from the two worlds, but the entrance is different every time and is difficult to find."

"Moreover, the Ancient Spiritual Realm often attracts fragments of other worlds to fall, and the terrain changes. No matter how powerful the divination method is, it cannot be found, and it also has to enter the spiritual world."

"The most feared thing among breaking the world is the curse of the spiritual world. Ordinary monks don't have the treasure of Youqian City. Breaking the world through the Wangchuan River is the safest way."

"We will break through the dream world in the future. If Youqian City cannot withstand the power of breaking the world, we can only use dream fetus reincarnation or seize the body."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, his face solemn.

They came to Beiyin Mountain, firstly, to search for spiritual materials for refining Nuo noodles, and secondly, to experiment and practice breaking the boundary.

After all, as a ferryman, this kind of thing will be inevitable in the future.

At this moment, something moved in his mind, and he took out the ferryman's token from the Dongming Demon Artifact, and saw auras of light dancing on it, and lines of writing appearing on it.

However, after Hu Meiniang returned to Lushan City, she asked Tie Yucheng to use the Zimu Gu. When she found that she could not contact Zhang Biao, she used the Xuanhuang Order.

"What happened?"

"It doesn't matter, Hu Meiniang is going back to the Mountain and Sea Realm. She asked me to inform her after I leave the Ancient Spirit Realm and tell her something important."

"Let's go first. If we find the Nether Spirit Copper and refine it into the Twelve Hours Mengsha Nuo God, it will be safer when we give it away..."

After saying that, Youqian City slowly moved along the River Styx.

call!

On the black mountain in the distance, faint fires lit up.

Since the decline of the Ancient Yuan Realm, this is the first time in thousands of years that anyone has entered the Beiyin Mountain area.

Feeling the breath of life, some existences also began to revive...

Will continue to update in the evening
