Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

On the River of Forgetfulness, the yin wind howled.

This was Zhou Haochen's second time in the Nine Hells, and he was still shocked by the scene before him.

The River of Forgetfulness stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly without end.

Unlike ordinary rivers with their surging waters, the River of Forgetfulness was incredibly calm... perhaps 'stagnant' would be a more accurate description.

It was like a pool of dead water.

The river water contained a dense concentration of yin energy, and even after tens of thousands of years, there was no sign of it dissipating.

After Zhou Haochen's soul entered the Nine Hells, the calligraphy treasure from the Great Confucianist seemed to be stimulated, actively hovering around him.

A warm sensation emanated from the jade slip, so comfortable that Zhou Haochen almost groaned aloud.

"Is this the effect of protecting the soul?"

Zhou Haochen's eyes lit up, and he murmured to himself.

The calligraphy treasure from the Great Confucianist, given by Mr. Cangsong, had the effect of resisting the yin wind and protecting the soul.

With this calligraphy treasure, Zhou Haochen estimated that the time he could stay in the Nine Hells would be more than doubled.

Zhou Haochen recalled his previous exploration and chose a lesser ghost that he could deal with, flying towards it.

[Water Earth: Supreme Good Fortune, proceed directly, encounter a Third Realm ghost, after killing it, you can obtain a Sixth Grade opportunity, great luck.]

[Earth Mountain: Neutral Fortune, change direction, nothing gained and nothing lost, neutral.]

Seeing the hexagram, Zhou Haochen was not surprised.

Last time, he was unprepared, constrained, and constantly dodging.

This time, he was well-prepared, and many ghosts were no match for him.

The approaching Yin spirit ghost, although possessing a Third Realm cultivation, was one realm higher than Zhou Haochen.

But when it came to a real fight, Zhou Haochen was not afraid at all.

Lightning techniques were the bane of ghosts.

The Soul Summoning Banner was the father of ghosts.

The calligraphy treasure from the Great Confucianist was the grandfather of ghosts.

The mark of the Reincarnation Seal was the ancestor of ghosts.

With such a wealthy arsenal, how could he possibly lose?

In less than ten breaths, ripples appeared on the calm River of Forgetfulness.

The ghost in the River of Forgetfulness sensed Zhou Haochen, an uninvited guest.

The ghost, with a strong sense of territory, howled and rushed out from under the water.

Covered in fur, with sharp teeth and claws, and seaweed hanging around its neck.

It looked just like the legendary water ghost!

Shriek!

The water ghost let out a sharp cry.

This cry was mixed with a terrifying yin wind, sweeping towards Zhou Haochen.

"Hmph—"

"Courting death!"

Zhou Haochen snorted coldly, made a hand seal, and crimson lightning danced on his fingertips.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the crimson lightning shot out.

Bing Fire True Lightning!

This time, Zhou Haochen used not Ren Water True Lightning, but the more powerful Bing Fire True Lightning, which was more suitable for dealing with Yin spirit ghosts.

After Feng Huai apologized, the Crown Prince sent Octagonal Xuan Fire Grass, and Zhou Haochen refined the Octagonal Xuan Fire Grass, using the Bing Fire essence within to refine Bing Fire True Lightning.

Shriek!

The water ghost let out a strange cry.

Then, without looking back, it plunged into the River of Forgetfulness, intending to escape.

"Run?"

"Can you escape?"

Zhou Haochen pointed his finger, and the crimson lightning bird chased after it.

Cutting through the void with lightning speed.

The next second, it struck the water ghost.

Crackling!

Countless lightning snakes wandered around the water ghost's body, emitting a thick plume of green smoke.

In less than a breath, the aura on the water ghost's body weakened, and it was obviously severely injured.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Haochen shook the Soul Summoning Banner, unleashing a rich yin energy, and rolled it towards the water ghost.

The severely injured water ghost had no power to resist the Soul Summoning Banner and was captured into it, becoming a soul slave.

The whole process was smooth and flowing.

The latest and fastest novel is at Six 9 Books!

The ease made Zhou Haochen feel like he was playing Pokémon.

First, cripple the little spirit, and then throw out the spirit ball to capture the little spirit.

After subduing the water ghost, Zhou Haochen dived into the River of Forgetfulness to search for the natural treasures guarded by the water ghost.

Soon, he found the Sixth Grade opportunity in the hexagram under the River of Forgetfulness—the Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Clover.

The Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Clover contained a rich concentration of Wu Earth essence, which could be used to cultivate Wu Earth True Lightning.

Counting Ren Water True Lightning and Bing Fire True Lightning, Zhou Haochen had unknowingly mastered half of the Five Elements Lightning Techniques.

He was only lacking Jia Wood True Lightning and Geng Metal True Lightning to cultivate the Peerless Divine Power of the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Lightning.

The Peerless Divine Power of the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Lightning came from the Thunder God Seal, and Zhou Haochen was very much looking forward to it.

The inheritance in the Thunder God Seal was extraordinary, and the first inheritance helped Zhou Haochen awaken the Five Thunder Spiritual Body.

As for the inheritance of the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Lightning, just looking at the name, he knew it was an extremely powerful killing divine power.

After taking the Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Clover, Zhou Haochen continued to explore the River of Forgetfulness.

Along the way, he also subdued several evil ghosts and scoured the natural treasures they guarded.

Although they were not as good as the Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Clover, he did not lack spiritual herbs like Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower, which had become extinct in the human world.

Zhou Haochen couldn't help but marvel that the Nine Hells was an undeveloped virgin land.

For countless years, it had not been visited by anyone.

It was full of opportunities everywhere!

Natural treasures like Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Clover, which were extremely rare in the human world, were not uncommon in the Nine Hells.

Just under the River of Forgetfulness, he did not know how many treasures were hidden.

Zhou Haochen was glad that he had obtained the mark of the Reincarnation Seal and, by chance, had come to the Nine Hells.

Then... what about Taishu Qing?

Has he been to the Nine Hells?

Does he know that the mark of the Reincarnation Seal is the key to entering the Nine Hells?

Half an hour later.

Zhou Haochen came again to his destination of the last exploration of the Nine Hells.

The plaque of the Gate of Ghosts!

To be precise, it was half a plaque, stuck horizontally on the bank of the River of Forgetfulness.

"Can this plaque be taken away?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Zhou Haochen's eyes.

Although he didn't know the use of the Gate of Ghosts plaque, the fact that this plaque could still stand here after countless years indicated that it was an extraordinary treasure.

Just then, Zhou Haochen's brow tingled, the Bagua diagram shone brightly, and a hexagram appeared in his sea of consciousness.

[Water Wind: Supreme Good Fortune, leave the plaque alone, attracting the favor of an Infinite Existence, obtaining a Third Grade opportunity, subsequent involvement in the karma of an Infinite Existence, great luck.]

[Swamp Wind: Medium Bad Fortune, take the plaque, good fortune will gain a Fourth Grade opportunity, misfortune will occur three days later, the patrol team of the City of Unjustly Dead passing through this place, discovering the disappearance of the Gate of Ghosts plaque, this will attract the investigation of the Gluttonous Ghost King, small misfortune.]

[Mountain Swamp: Extreme Bad Fortune, attempt to destroy the plaque, provoking the plaque's counterattack, soul severely damaged, great misfortune.]
