“Hmm.”
Feng Qing’an nodded, already having a plan in mind.
“You Huang, are you there?”
The boy’s actions were swift and decisive without any delay. Feng Qing’an directly contacted the ruler of You Huang Ghost Country through the Soul Contract.
“Yes, I have all the creatures you’ve raised.”
A cool voice echoed in his mind, carrying a hint of intimacy.
“I’m not asking about this. I trust your capabilities.”
Not long ago, when he tricked the Heavenly Dragon Monk Yinghai into the Cave Sky, he naturally noticed those real people and high monks who wanted to harm Black Mountain and others, so he informed You Huang.
That Black Mountain, Bai Yao, and Sen Miao were safe and sound was normal. Through Soul Contract, he knew that these little creatures were quite content and well.
“There’s another thing. The spirit of my Cave Sky wants a batch of ethereal ghosts, regardless of their status, it needs as many as possible.”
Feng Qing’an succinctly informed You Huang of the Cave Sky Spirit’s needs.
“She wants ghosts?”
Upon hearing this, You Huang narrowed his eyes slightly. A smile spread across his delicate face, sculpted like ancient ice, which seemed warmer than before.
“I now have seven million crazed ghost creatures in my Ghost Nation. Does she want them all?”
“Seven million, does it want them?”
Feng Qing’an turned to look at the Cave Sky Spirit again.
“What?”
“Ghost creatures.”
“Yes, I want them all.”
The spirit of Cave Sky suddenly became excited. It did not expect such a surprise. It was just a small test, but it yielded great results.
“Can this place accommodate them all?”
Some doubt shone on Feng Qing’an’s face.
He knew exactly how large the Cave Sky was. Except for the first and second layers, which were thousands of miles wide, the third layer had a radius of only five hundred miles, which shrank further on the fourth layer.
Having ghost creatures occupying the upper four layers of Cave Sky would not serve as a target for evolving into a little hungry ghost path. Yet the lower three city caves’ area was simply too small. These ghost creatures, often towering over thirty feet high, sometimes reaching hundreds of terrifyingly tall giants.
If these seven million ghost creatures crowded into one layer, it would be like stacking Arhats, filling an entire layer of the cave without leaving any room for movement. This would surely trigger a horrifying round of ghost-eating.
Under such extremely cramped and harsh conditions, creating more than ten fierce specters capable of rivaling the Ghost King is akin to breeding poisonous insects as it incites the ghost creatures to eat one another.
The creatures born out of such a ghost feast were despised and feared by the ghost creatures of You Huang because such creatures had no reason and were extremely hideous.
“Master, just send them over. If it becomes too crowded, I have a solution.”
The Cave Sky Spirit’s expression was rather mysterious. The expressionless young man looked at this clearly delighted figure,
“Are you trying to keep me in suspense?”
“No, Master, don’t misunderstand, I just want to surprise you. Aren’t you planning to turn the Lock Demon Tower and Demon-Suppressing Hall into a Sword Pool? I can help you with that. These ghost creatures can serve as a sacrifice.”
The Cave Sky Spirit quickly explained, stating it had no disrespect.
“You’ve been listening quite attentively.”
“You can’t blame me for this. You discussed it openly with the National Lord!”
The Cave Sky Spirit was feeling quite aggrieved.
“Alright, you wait here. Now, let me think about how to get to You Huang.”
Feng Qing’an now realized that he must pay attention to this rather practical issue.
He currently had no special way to directly travel to the Netherworld. If he were to leave the Cave Sky, he would appear wherever he entered from.
But he was no longer fit to appear in the human world, at least not in public. It would be better to avoid meeting those true Taoist and high Buddhist monks, regardless of their opinions of him.
Clang~
A deep, long bell sound rang out. Just as Feng Qing’an was troubled, a flaming phoenix tore through the void, laying down a path that seemed to burn with flames, straight to the Netherworld where his heart longed to go.
Clink Clink!
The phoenix’s cry echoed. After the flaming phoenix, a black-feathered phoenix with deep pupils flew in, flapping its wings.
The Undead Nether Phoenix, Youyou!
“Wow, Feng Qing’an, this is your Cave Sky… I finally saw it…”
This little fellow, who was very familiar and even actively made a Soul Contract with Feng Qing’an, landed on his shoulders without bashfulness after leaving a dark arc of fire in the air, but then it scowled,
“It’s so small!”
“This is a broken Cave Sky to begin with, it’s only expected to be small. Furthermore, what you see now is merely one layer of it.”
Feng Qing’an looked at the fiery red path extending beneath his feet and casually responded before stepping onto it. As he had anticipated, the seemingly surging flames did not hurt him at all. On the contrary, a sense of warmth rose from the bottom of his feet, spreading throughout his body.
“Are there other places? Can I go see them?”
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s casual response, Youyou became interested. This Cave Sky was not at all similar to the one described in its inherited memories, not to mention its area, which seemed much smaller.
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let me first meet with Donghuang and Nange, and I will take you around.”
At the end of the flaming path, it was not surprising to see a woman who seemed to have traveled from the mythological era, her body translucent, radiating an immortal divine glow. Standing in the air, her mere presence seemed to dominate over all creatures, making all beings bow down before her.
“Donghuang, I am here.”
The corners of the Queen of the You Huang Ghost Country’s lips curled into a slight smile upon seeing the young man. In an instant, the Netherworld dimmed and lost all its brilliance, and only she shone within it.
“Are you really staying in the Netherworld, cultivating with me?”
Although the young man had approached her, Donghuang asked again. Over the past few days, she had read all the Taoist scriptures and already knew how to modify the inheritance she had mastered.
Yet even so, she remained cautious about guiding a reincarnated Immortal Monarch’s cultivation. If she could, she would rather not take on the role of the guide.
“As for the cultivation, I don’t really care. You can teach me if you have time.”
Feng Qing’an, who had already piloted the body of the Dragon Father Giant and crushed the Yinghai, replied calmly. At this point, he was not overly attached to Immortal Cultivation. He also knew that luck plays a major role in this matter, and it was useless to force it before the opportunity arrives.
“After you have gone through all the Taoist scriptures my father selected for me, we can talk about cultivation!”
Seeing Feng Qing’an’s determination, Donghuang smiled.
There is no shortcut to cultivation, or rather, the shortcut lies right before our eyes – to lay a solid foundation at the beginning of cultivation. Only then can one succeed.
Shhh~
As Feng Qing’an arrived in the Netherworld, exchanging words with the Queen of the You Huang Ghost Country, a familiar humming sound came from outside the hall, followed by an explosion of green energy teeming with boundless life force.
Sen Miao!
“Descent Technique”
Feng Qing’an immediately sensed the source of the conflicting force. He applied the secret technique, obtaining the first-person viewpoint, and saw a headless ghost whose face had been severely trampled.
The green aura that could revive humans and skeletons was twining around the neck of this headless giant, tearing at its body like maggots sticking to a bone, inhibiting its regeneration ability, and causing it to release a miserable wail from its chest.
Such ghost creatures were not only one, but several lay around Sen Miao, their vital areas crushed by being trampled on. It seemed that was the result of that green aura explosion just now.
“You just arrived, and I made you see this joke.”
Donghuang, knowing what had happened and realizing Feng Qing’an’s Divine Power, had a slightly unhappy expression.
