Chapter 1041(1/2)
Gu Zheng was leaving again, which made Huo Dao Ren very worried.
He already knew that the demon clan had attacked the human race. Although there was no Daluo Golden Immortal intervening yet, once a few Daluo Golden Immortals came, they could not resist and might be wiped out.
But even he could not refuse the reason Gu Zheng wanted to leave.
Gu Zheng actually wanted to go to the underworld. All the cultivators knew that the underworld existed, but now it is not the prehistoric world in later generations. The underworld was directly conquered by human immortals and became an affiliated territory of the prehistoric world. At this time, the underworld was still a world of its own, and the living in it was ghosts.
Under the underworld, it is said that there is a world of Asura with a worse environment.
At this time, the immortals of the prehistoric world had no impression of the underworld. They only knew that this was a place with a bad environment, and it was the place where the souls of the dead and reincarnation were located. The powerful immortal souls would not enter the underworld. This was a strange place for them.
If the cultivation level reaches the Golden Immortal, its soul can be freely released from its body. At this time, the immortals will die and both form and spirit will be destroyed and will not enter the underworld. However, the immortals in the realm of the Heavenly Immortal have not completely merged with the soul, and after being killed, their souls will still enter the underworld.
Gu Zheng wanted to go to the underworld to find Wu You and the others' souls.
If you find their souls, you can place them in the underworld or bring them back. Find a suitable body to take over the body and rebuild it. The body after taking over the body will definitely be worse than before. It is difficult to make progress, but at least you can be reborn and resurrected.
However, taking over the body will hurt the heavens. Gu Zheng did not think about letting them take over the body. Even if they became ghosts, it would be good to be a ghost cultivator. Gu Zheng had many good ghost cultivators in his hands, but he had no physical body and no hope of becoming a saint in the future.
For Wu You and the others, becoming a saint never thought that the ghost cultivator could allow them to cultivate to the realm of Golden Immortality, except for having no physical body, everything else is the same, and it seems to be a good result.
These Gu Zheng did not tell the Huo Daoist, and left after giving orders.
Lan Huo was kept by Gu Zheng. He is a demon clan. If a large clan really invades a large number, it will have some effect. If Lan Huo does not work, then let Lan Huo take them away and save themselves first.
Lan Huo was both happy and sad about Gu Zheng and Tao's departure.
The happy thing is that Gu Zheng and they went to another world. Once they left the prehistoric world, the binding force of the master-servant contract on him would disappear. At that time, no one could limit him whether he wanted to stay or leave.
What I was worried about is that once Gu Zheng and the others came back and knew that they had run away secretly, they would definitely not spare him. With a contract, he would become very unlucky at that time. At this time, he was worried about gains and losses and didn't know what to do.
Gu Zheng seemed to know that Lan Huo was not completely terrible, so he sent a message to Shen Gongbao, and if possible, he would ask Shen Gongbao to come back and help him stay in charge for a while. Shen Gongbao is different from Lan Huo. At this time, Shen Gongbao was still focused on the human race.
After the explanation, Gu Zheng took Tao and left directly. The Huo Daoren watched them leave, and finally sighed and respectfully invited Lan Huo into the city.
No matter what, Lan Huo is the Golden Immortal of Daluo. His relationship with Tao has nothing to do with the Fire Taoist. The Fire Taoist knows that it is enough for his predecessor to be worshipped as a predecessor.
Before entering the underworld, Gu Zheng had to make some preparations.
The underworld is now equivalent to a wild land, with only countless resentful spirits, and there is no orthodox rule. Then there are hills everywhere, and some powerful ghost cultivators are in charge of one side.
Without the Ten Palaces of Hell, and without Ksitigarbha, the underworld at this time is chaotic.
The underworld restricts the yang energy. He and Tao are both pure yang bodies. If they enter the underworld, they will be restricted a little bit. However, the two of them have a high cultivation level, and this kind of restriction is nothing to them. However, he still needs to prepare more things that restrain ghosts.
After all, he went to the underworld to find Wu You and the others' souls. At this time, the underworld was very chaotic and so big, so it was not easy to find people in such a place.
It took not much time to prepare these things. Three days later, Gu Zheng brought Tao to a critical point, preparing to break the space and forcibly enter the underworld.
Gu Zheng had done this kind of thing before and was quite familiar. Not long after, he and Tao successfully entered the underworld.
The underworld is dark, without sunshine, without the abundant immortal power of the prehistoric world, and there is a dead energy everywhere, which makes the Tao who just came in extremely uncomfortable.
"That's how the underworld is, let's go first!"
Gu Zheng briefly explained, but fortunately he had cross-border experience and knew that other sectors could not compare with the prehistoric world together, so he didn't care much about it.
Since the underworld is a world of its own, its scope is naturally quite large, but it is much smaller than that of the prehistoric world.
The underworld is a transit station for all the dead souls, especially those in the prehistoric world, who have to walk from the underworld, so there are not many ghosts in the underworld, and some ghosts are reincarnated, but there are still many ghosts wandering in the underworld.
On the ground, from time to time, the dead souls raised their heads in a daze and looked at Gu Zheng and Tao flying in the air.
Even if the underworld is smaller than the prehistoric world, it is much larger than ordinary places. There are so many dead souls that Gu Zheng and the others can't find for a thousand or ten thousand years. Therefore, Gu Zheng must come up with a method. The best way is to find more helpers and help him find them together.
At this time, unlike later generations, all ghosts are registered in the Tenth Hall. Those who are not registered are lonely ghosts and will be wiped out regularly. The ghost soldiers in the underworld in later generations are very powerful and can fight against the heavenly soldiers if they are pulled out.
However, because they have no physical bodies, they are just ghosts, and are born in a weak position, otherwise, a quasi-saint would not have completely suppressed them in such a dignified world. Ten Daluo Jinxians will be rulers.
Of course, there are definitely more than ten Daluo Golden Immortals in the underworld, but that's the case in name.
Gu Zheng and Tao kept flying, landing on the ground from time to time, grabbing a few ghosts and asking for some information. Gu Zheng mainly asked what forces are nearby, the most powerful forces, and they need a large-scale force. Without a large-scale force, it would be useless for him to find them.
The method used in ancient times is very simple, which is to incorporate some scattered forces in the underworld and ask them to help them find people, so that the chances of finding them are greater.
As for Wu You and the others' safety, Gu Zheng was not very worried about this time.
Although Wu You died, he was an immortal after all. His soul was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even when he arrived in the underworld, he was not a little ghost that could be kneaded casually. Besides, there were more than one of them, and there were three of them in total. It was just that if he did not encounter ghosts with the power of the Golden Immortal, it would be basically impossible.
Ghost cultivation is more difficult than human cultivation. There must be golden immortals in the underworld, and there are golden immortals in the Daluo, but the number will not be too large, far from that of the prehistoric times. Unless they are particularly unlucky, they happen to meet the strong man in the underworld and happen to have a grudge with them, otherwise nothing will happen.
With their strength, even if there are powerful ghost cultivators, the idea of recruiting them will definitely be higher than killing them.
Seven days later, Gu Zheng found out that a force that made him slightly satisfied. There was an existence called Yinshan Ghost King thousands of miles away.
The Ghost King is just a title in the underworld. Some ghost cultivators with the strength of Golden Immortals can be called the Ghost King. The ghost cultivators with the strength of Golden Immortals of Daluo may also be called the Ghost King. It is just a title and cannot represent specific strength.
But the ghost cultivator with the strength of a celestial immortal would never dare to call himself the Ghost King, and that was purely a quest for death in the underworld.
The Yinshan Ghost King is located in Yinshan. It is said that hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators under his command are very powerful and is the most powerful force nearby. Many ghost cultivators who want to practice exist in him.
A distance of thousands of miles is nothing to Gu Zheng and Tao.
Before he reached Yinshan, Gu Zheng saw the yin energy rolling in the distance. There were indeed many ghosts here. Hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators were a bit exaggerated, but hundreds of thousands of ghosts were definitely nothing. Ghost cultivators refer to ghosts with certain strength. Ghosts are ghosts, and newly dying mortal ghosts also belong to ghosts.
Neither Gu Zheng nor Tao concealed themselves and rushed in just like that.
The two of them are immortals and the underworld entered by their bodies. They carry yang energy on their bodies and exist like the sun in the underworld. It is difficult to avoid being noticed, not to mention that they still rushed over with such a swagger.
"Who is it? You are not ghost cultivators?"
Many ghosts quickly flew in the Yinshan Mountains. There is a little different ghosts from immortal cultivators. Ghosts have no physical body and can float up even if they do not practice. After practicing, they can easily fly, so even ordinary ghosts can fly in the underworld.
But it’s just that you can fly. If you want to fly quickly, you still have to practice to the level of celestial immortals or above.
What flew up was a row of truly practicing ghost cultivators. Their strength was probably at the level of the celestial fairy. There was a large number of ghosts following behind them. They were not Yin soldiers. At this time, there was no concept of Yin soldiers. No one in the underworld practiced ordinary ghosts in the military way.
"Let's look for the Yinshan Ghost King!"
Gu Zheng directly explained his purpose. When he saw that Gu Zheng and the other two were not ghost cultivators, but with their bodies, all the ghost cultivators showed vigilance and fear. This is the underworld, not other places. There are not none of them who have physical bodies, but there are very few people, and they are basically in the Asura realm. Those Asuras have physical bodies, unlike them.
The Great Asura is not like this. Although they have physical bodies, they practice negative skills. At first glance, they know that it is not easy to mess with. Their yang energy on their bodies is strong, as if they can burn them to death as long as they get close.
"Who are you? What's the matter with us king?"
Despite his vigilance, the ghost cultivator asked again. Gu Zhengze shook his head gently and continued, "You are not qualified to ask these things. Let the Yinshan Ghost King come out immediately, otherwise you will regret it!"
Gu Zheng is here to recruit these forces, or in other words, to let them serve themselves temporarily, it is impossible for others to serve themselves for nothing. He needs to establish his authority and make these ghost cultivators afraid, so he is not polite at all.
"You wait first!" The ghost cultivator looked at Gu Zheng and asked his companions to inform his king.
Gu Zheng stood there without moving. These were not the objects of his authority. In other words, if the Yinshan Ghost King was not there, his authority effect was greatly reduced. He wanted to make the Yinshan Ghost King afraid so that he could truly establish his authority and truly let the Yinshan Ghost King listen to his words.
If the Yinshan Ghost King would rather die than obey, then he wouldn't mind changing the Ghost King here.
Not long after, another group of ghost cultivators flew up. This time, the leader's yin energy was even stronger, and he was burly in shape, and he was holding weapons.
Gu Zheng was watching him. This was a ghost cultivator with the power of a golden immortal. He had not reached the late stage and had only a mid-stage cultivation level, which disappointed Gu Zheng a little.
"I am the brother of the Ghost King of Yinshan. My elder brother is not here. Who are you? What's the matter with me?"
The leading Golden Immortal Ghost Cultivator shouted loudly, and Gu Zheng frowned. He was not here, but the Yinshan Ghost King was not there. The middle-stage Golden Immortal Ghost Cultivator who came out was just his younger brother.
The Yinshan Ghost King was gone, so Gu Zheng's plan could only be changed.
"Who is the one here now? Are you?"
Gu Zheng asked the ghost cultivator, and the burly ghost cultivator nodded. Before Gu Zheng could speak, he said directly: "Very good. Now starting, all the ghosts here have been summoned. I need you to help me do things. If things are done well, there will be rewards. If things are not done well, they will all die!"
Gu Zheng said lightly, the burly ghost cultivator was a little stunned, then he showed anger and screamed.
I don’t know what he was calling, but Gu Zheng ignored him at all. He suddenly stretched out his hand and flew out straight, flew to the burly ghost cultivator, and stopped straight in front of his nose, not moving.
The voice of the burly ghost cultivator stopped abruptly, and he looked at the soul-catching reincarnation pen in front of him in horror.
This is a reincarnation pen that can directly detach the soul. The innate treasure, the ghost cultivator is in the state of soul. A light touch of the reincarnation pen can make their souls scatter.
The pen of reincarnation is the same as the pen of life and death, and later generations should be controlled by Di Ksitigarbha. As for some rumors that every hall of the underworld has a pen of life and death and a pen of reincarnation, it is wrong. This is a human book, a human book among the three books of heaven, earth and man. There is only this one book, and there is no other semicolon. Such a treasure is definitely not allowed to be placed in the hands of a judge with ordinary cultivation.
The judge's hands should be imitations.
Of course, this is just a speculation from the ancients. In later generations, he had never dealt with Di Ksitigarbha, and he didn't know if the book of the humans was there.
However, now that people are in his hands and some are in his hands, he is the controller of the underworld. At the very least, he is an invincible existence in the underworld, and no one can hurt him.
"What did I say?"
Gu Zheng asked again, and as long as the ghost cultivator dared to object, Gu Zheng immediately hooked him up. At this time, Gu Zheng did not need to negotiate with others.
"Master, sir, I listen to you, everything I listen to you!"
The burly ghost cultivator didn't look scary, but he was not very brave. When Gu Zheng scared him like this, he immediately became timid and was willing to completely obey Gu Zheng's orders.
Gu Zheng didn't care whether he listened to it in real or fake. He would be willing to obey now.
"I'll ask you, where did the Yinshan Ghost King go?"
Such a ghost cultivator cannot control the entire Yinshan Mountain. The key is the Yinshan Ghost King. If the Yinshan Ghost King is unwilling to be obedient, he will help him up and become a new Yinshan Ghost King, he can only be considered a spare tire.
"My elder brother was invited by the King of Changshan Ghost, Wenshan Ghost and other kings to go to the banquet!"
The burly ghost cultivator said hurriedly, "Gouzhan will be at the banquet." This result surprised Gu Zheng a little. And after what he said, it seemed that many ghost kings gathered together."
After asking carefully, Gu Zheng realized that there were eight ghost kings in the place where the Ghost King of Yinshan attended the banquet.
To be continued...
