True Immortal of the Netherworld

Valley of Lost Souls, deep within the boundary of Fengdu.

Those who move forward are like fire.

The retrograde wind is like a blade.

"It's Chakravartin Pluto, he's right there!" Xu Yang pointed forward with his hand.

Ten feet away, two faces, black and white, were vaguely turning in a mass of churning black air.

"hey-hey."

"hehe."

In the rolling black air, two low laughs came out, which felt like needle pricks in my ears.

"Give it back to my uncle Jiu Ku!" the young golden jade monk yelled angrily.

The black energy on the opposite side rolled and dissipated, and the body of Chakravartin Pluto disappeared, leaving only a black and white book floating in the air.

Poof.

The Book of Black and White emitted a cloud of black smoke, and then turned into a black and white two-headed ghost crow.

"Is the Jiuku monk you call dead or alive?"

"Maybe he's alive, maybe he's dead."

"It's a puzzle."

"The answer lies in the book of life and death in my hand."

After saying that, the two-headed ghost crow flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

"This ghost crow is the dharma body of Chakravartin Pluto. He is deliberately tempting us. The uncle of Jiu Ku Master is probably in his hands." The third golden eye between the eyebrows of the golden jade young monk flickered and he gritted his teeth.

"Catch up!" Xu Yang said decisively.

Every time the two-headed ghost crow flaps its wings, it appears dozens of feet away like a space jump.

Afterwards, Xu Yang and the Golden Jade Monk chased after him, but were unable to catch up for a while.

No matter how many turns the two of them took or how far they chased, the distance between them and Ghost Crow finally got a little closer.

Ahead, the evil spirit became more intense, and a rolling mass of black energy landed on the ground like a dark cloud.

"Two little guys, how about playing a game with you?"

"It's a fun game."

After the two-headed ghost crow finished speaking, he quacked twice and plunged into the black air.

suddenly!

The dark evil spirit transformed into various ghosts and pounced on Xu Yang and the golden jade monk.

These ghosts include those with one horn, those with sharp teeth and claws, those with animal heads and human bodies, and those with human faces and snakes...

The darkness was overwhelming, and the hissing and strange sounds were as harsh as the clash of swords.

Xu Yang frowned slightly and said: "There are too many ghosts coming out. It will not be easy for us to catch up with the two-headed ghost crow."

The third golden eye between the golden monk's brows flickered again.

"The evil spirit contained in the nearby space has reached the point of transformation. It is the formation restriction here that blocks us.

Although these ghosts are not physical, the attack power of each one is no less than that of a Daoming Realm monk.

The weakness of these guys is their low defense, which they can use Soul Society techniques to deal with.

Leave it to me to find the way. "

As the golden monk spoke, he used the Golden Buddha Holy Body Technique that he was good at, instantly raising the soul power he released to the level of the soul world.

I saw a palm-wide golden light flowing out of the golden monk's body.

Golden light streamers swirled around and piled up quickly, turning into a towering golden mountain of light and shadow in the blink of an eye, covering its body.

The huge golden mountain is as solid as real, emitting brilliant brilliance, and the fluttering golden Sanskrit characters are connected in an orderly manner, forming a formation in the blink of an eye.

"Soul Realm—Golden Mountain Buddha Light!"

Bang bang bang!

The ghosts that rushed towards the golden monk were beaten to pieces by the whip of golden light, and none of them could touch his body.

Hearing the reminder from the Golden Jade Monk, Xu Yang activated the Golden Thunder Gate among the four Mysterious Gates and used the technique of thunder to escape from the soul world.

"Soul Realm - Thunder Lion Territory!"

Within ten feet around his body, the golden thunder rolled and turned into the shape of a huge male lion, which contained the power of an imperial lion.

Ouch——

The thunder lion roars, and the golden thunder god punishes.

The ghosts that rushed over hit the Thunder Domain Beast King, and before they had time to cry out, they were torn into strips of black smoke by the power of thunder and lightning.

The little golden monk rushed ahead, scanning with his golden eyes constantly, choosing the easiest route to advance.

Xu Yang followed closely.

The two tried to minimize their entanglements with the ghosts that kept coming out, targeting the two-headed ghost crow.

As a result, the speed of the two's progress was not affected at all.

"Friend, your third golden eye can always see through everything. If I encounter these ghosts, it will be very difficult." Xu Yang imitated the appearance of the golden jade monk and performed Buddhist salutes with one hand, "All appearances are false. "

The little golden jade monk nodded slightly and murmured: "All appearances are false, which is a supreme Buddha's saying in the Tathagata Sutra. I remember when my uncle Jiu Kushi explained it to me, I was only four years old... .." At this moment, the little monk Jinyu's heart was full of the shadow of Master Jiu Ku's uncle.

The deeper they go into the Fengdu barrier, the more worried the young monk Jinyu becomes about the safety of his uncle Jiu Ku.

He had a premonition in his heart that his uncle, Master Jiuku, was in danger.

"Uncle Jiu Ku Master, I will definitely find you."

"Uncle Jiu Ku Master, I want to return to the Golden Buddha Temple safely with you. I want to eat the roast chicken you cooked by yourself. I want to drink with you..."

In the corners of the golden monk's eyes, tears flew into lines against the wind.

...

After a while, the ghosts transformed by the power of the underworld disappeared.

Across from the two of them was a huge, dark building.

On the towering black iron city wall, there is a large gate that looks like the mouth of a two-horned beast.

Quack, the two-headed ghost crow called twice.

Click, a crack was exposed in the gate.

The two-headed ghost crow turned to look at Xu Yang and the golden jade monk.

"This Hades is here."

"The answers you are looking for are also here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two-headed ghost crow slipped in through the gap in the gate.

The gate clanged shut again.

"Is this a maze? What on earth is that Chakravartin guy going to do?" Xu Yang looked across and asked.

"Let me take a look at the situation inside first." The golden jade monk pointed the sword between his eyebrows with one hand.

"Dharma Eyes - Eyes of the Buddha!"

"All the monsters hiding in the darkness will reveal their true colors under the bright eyes of the Buddha."

The third golden eye of the golden jade monk was like a small golden sun, emitting a golden halo outwards, hitting the huge building opposite in circles one after another.

Gradually, the golden light outlined what was hidden inside the huge building.

The golden jade monk looked surprised and explained: "Buried in this huge building is a huge skeleton of a ghost.

The head of this ghost is like an ox and as big as a mountain peak. Its body resembles a snake, like a dry river bed, and is roughly estimated to be dozens of miles long.

Even with the power of my Dharma eyes, I can only get a glimpse of it. "

Xu Yang on the side was thoughtful when he heard the words.

"This technique of using the bodies of dead ghosts to form an array has been recorded in the secret books of the Tiangui Sect. It is called the "Ghost Corpse Array Technique". It is very rare on such a scale.

I guess that this huge ghost skeleton is probably channeled from the underworld.

And the person who can arrange this formation is probably the guy who calls himself Chakravartin.

That guy deliberately led us here, but he created a maze of ghost paths. "

The golden jade young monk said: "It is better to say it is a ghost prison than a maze.

There are a large number of ghost runes within the high walls of this building. Destroying them is not something you and I can do easily.

I'm worried that Master Jiu Ku's uncle is trapped here. "

Xu Yang said: "Now that we are here, whether it is a maze or a prison, we can only break through. Let me try to open the gate."

After saying that, Xu Yang walked straight to the Ghost Face Gate, stretched out his palm and touched it lightly, and a black halo swayed out.

Blah blah blah, blah blah.

Pulling the iron chain of the Ghost Face Gate to slide, the gate opened its mouth, revealing a spacious passage.

"Huh? The gate opened by itself?"

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment. He had just exercised his power a little bit and had not yet had time to use his ghost power.

"Go in and have a look."

Whizzing--

Two figures, one white and one green, rushed into the space behind the gate.

After the two figures disappeared behind the Ghost Face Gate, the huge gate fell on its own.

A pair of ghostly eyes on the gate suddenly flashed, one black and one white, and turned strangely, like a living thing.

In the enclosed space behind the gate, as far as the eye could see, there were scattered white skeletons of different sizes, glowing white, faint white light, and a whooshing cold wind.

About half an hour later.

Xu Yang and Jin Yu Xiaoseng came to an intersection and stopped.

The golden monk's third magic eye cast out golden light and scanned the surroundings, "This fork in the road is supported by the ribs of a huge ghost. In fact, there is only one way to go straight."

Xu Yang probed for his spiritual consciousness, but found that it could only detect a distance of about ten feet. He wondered: "There is a restriction here that blocks the spiritual consciousness, but why do I seem to notice an inexplicable and familiar fluctuation of soul power?"

The third golden eye between the golden jade monk's brows flashed, he pulled Xu Yang with his hand, and whispered: "Someone is coming! Hidden for now!"

After saying this, the golden monk puffed up his cheeks and spit out a large ball of golden stars.

Without stopping for a moment, the golden monk's hands landed on the golden star points. Immediately, the golden star points gathered into a mirror, reflecting the surrounding black and blending into the surrounding environment, with the two figures hidden behind it.

Jinyu Xiaoseng and Xu Yang held their breaths and locked in the fluctuations of their soul power.

"My golden light mirror technique can obscure people's vision by refracting light, but it can only last for a short time." The golden jade monk said.

"It is true that someone is coming." Xu Yang said in a message.

Opposite the two men's hiding place, on the fork in the road paved with white skeletons, a figure flashed out.

The visitor is a young Taoist.

He carries a Dao sword on his back, his clothes are as blue as water, his eyes are black and white, and he looks like a ghost. His feet are floating half an inch above the ground.

When Xu Yang saw this person, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "It's Liu Haiyu's good friend, how could he fall here?"

Xu Yang was about to take a step out of desperation, but found that the corner of his clothes was held by the golden monk.

"Friend Xu Yang, take a closer look. He is Liu Haiyu, but not the original Liu Haiyu. It is obvious that he has been tricked."

Xu Yang looked carefully, and as he was proficient in ghost techniques, he quickly saw the clues.

He sighed and said, "Liu Haiyu has lost his soul."

The golden jade young monk said: "Your judgment is correct. At this moment, Liu Haiyu has lost the earth soul among the three souls of heaven, earth and man. Now he has no self-awareness and can be said to be a puppet."

Xu Yang said anxiously: "I must help him find the earth soul as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the earth soul leaves the body for a long time, his life will be at risk and he may become a ghost puppet at the mercy of others."

The golden jade young monk looked solemn and said: "We can't rush out now. Liu Haiyu, who has lost his earth soul, will attack us directly. If we are tied up, we will be in trouble."

Naturally, the puppet Liu Haiyu could not hear the sound transmission between the two.

"ah--"

The puppet Liu Haiyu suddenly roared, drew out his sword from behind, and struck a few random blows.

The sword energy rolled and thundered, leaving several huge ravines on the ground. Fortunately, they did not hit the hiding place of Xu Yang and his two men.

After that, the puppet Liu Haiyu turned around and returned the same way.

The two people hiding behind the mirror breathed a sigh of relief.

The golden light flashed and the mirror disappeared, revealing the true bodies of Xu Yang and the golden jade monk.

The golden jade young monk said: "We were too close just now, and our breath was detected by it, and it was defined as an intruder. The more complicated the situation, the more calm we need."

Xu Yang nodded and secretly activated the power of his mind. With just two breaths, his whole body became as still as water.

Xu Yang thought for a while and said, "Liu Haiyu should not be the only one trapped here."

The golden jade young monk said: "This is what I am worried about. We must fully understand the situation ahead before we can have a way to deal with it. But there is not much time left for us."

"I have a way." Xu Yang gently clasped the spiritual pet bag half-hidden at his waist with his hand.

Whoosh——

A golden light rolled out, the golden light converged, and a golden-haired mink appeared. It is Xu Yang's spiritual pet golden mink "Pan Tao".

"Squeak, squeak." When Xiao Diao saw Xu Yang, his eyes were like diamonds and he was dancing.

Xu Yang would always play with Xiao Diao in his free time, but he didn't send him on a mission for a long time.

"Pan Tao, I will bless you with a vision, and then I will trouble you to find the way ahead."

The little marten patted his chest with his paws and nodded vigorously.

Xu Yang placed the sword finger of his right hand in front of his eyebrows, activated the power of his eyes, and threw a line of fire from his eyes that fell on his fingertips.

Then, focus this flame of vision on Little Marten’s eyes.

Xiao Diao's black crystal-like eyes suddenly turned fiery red, and he turned around and rushed towards the road of bones.

The little mink is golden all over except for its four claws which are the color of white jade.

Every time the claws touch the ground, a faint white halo will appear on the ground, like stepping on clouds.

Soon, the little marten disappeared at the opposite intersection.

When the golden jade monk saw Xiao Diao, he couldn't help but praise: "My friend Xu Yang, this spiritual pet is extraordinary.

Their ghostly physiques are extremely pure, and they are mostly spiritual beings from the underworld.

Moreover, the fluctuations of soul power emitted from his body can merge with the surrounding formation restrictions in a few breaths. This talent is a bit unbelievable. "

Xu Yang nodded and said: "Because of this, I can rest assured that it will go on its own. In this ghost land of Fengdu, no one except me can detect its traces."

After a moment, Xu Yang saw what Xiao Diao saw in his eyes.

"this......"

"This is......"

"This is again..."

As Xiao Diao continued to penetrate, what Xu Yang saw surprised him again and again.
