Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 232: The Tomb of the Skeleton King, the City of Mountains and Seas

In the high-level undead zone, not only has the number of undead creatures increased, but terrifying evil spirits can also be seen everywhere.

I've been wandering around the high-level undead area for several days now, and I've learned quite a bit.

For Li Chunfeng, the Realm of the Dead was a completely new world. The rules of the necromancy were laid bare in this realm. Only by experiencing it firsthand could one gain a deeper understanding of the rules of the necromancy.

Li Chunfeng had been avoiding the territory of a seventh-tier lord and carefully capturing fifth-tier undead servants, yet he still encountered danger.

The number of undead servants gradually increased, and while passing through a valley depression that resembled a graveyard, they suddenly encountered a rare sixth-tier corpse beast, leading more than a thousand corpse demons.

A powerful aura of death surged into the sky. When Li Chunfeng saw this group of zombies, he felt as if he had seen an unparalleled beauty.

The rare, organized zombie horde, especially the mohawk-haired, red-haired zombie at the head, exuded an astonishing aura of death. However, its appearance was not much different from that of a human, except that its skin was pale and its nails and lips were pure black.

Just as Li Chunfeng was about to set up the End Domain, the Corpse Hou was startled, letting out a deafening roar, and led its subordinates to turn and run away.

They wouldn't even dare to fight back, and would run away at the sight of anyone. Their high sensitivity to danger is truly rare even in the realm of the dead.

As it ran, Li Chunfeng naturally chased after it.

They reaped the rewards one after another, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Perhaps driven to desperation by the pursuit, the corpse beast rushed into a desolate ruin, and then the entire group disappeared from sight.

Li Chunfeng immediately stopped.

His divine sense probed the area, but found nothing unusual—just ordinary ruins. Judging from the traces of the broken walls, this place must have been a palace sometime in the past. Why did he disappear upon entering it?

The same scene, yet it felt familiar.

Li Chunfeng recalled that when he first entered the Ghost Realm, he had found the same situation in the mass grave outside the Ghost Realm's city. Later, through several vanished lantern ghosts, he discovered the cemetery of the ancient Bone Spirit Empire.

The scene before me is so similar.

"A hidden spatial rift?"

However, Li Chunfeng's current spatial mastery is far beyond what it used to be.

He did not detect any spatial ripples or fluctuations in his spatial perception.

"Perhaps there is another reason."

Li Chunfeng easily captured several nearby Black Warriors and Dark Knights, and drove them into the ruins.

But when these undead saw this place, they preferred to take a detour rather than go in.

This made Li Chunfeng even more curious, but he didn't want to explore it himself.

With a thought, hundreds of lantern ghost clones floated into the ruins.

The lantern ghost clone disappeared as soon as it entered, and strangely enough, Li Chunfeng also lost all sense of the lantern ghost clone.

It can only be vaguely known that these clones have not disappeared.

He became increasingly certain that this ruin was not to be trifled with.

He immediately merged with the lamp and sent more clones into the ruins. He thought that would be the end of it, but when he looked down, he found that his flesh had unknowingly vanished, revealing his small, golden bones.

This gave Mr. Li quite a fright.

When were you infected?

Looking down, he saw that not only his arms but also his body were in the same state. Touching his head, he found that his skull was directly exposed with purple soul fire, which was extremely eerie.

Even the surrounding environment changed imperceptibly. The barren land turned into green mountains and clear waters, with many golden skeletons mixed in, their bones making a clanging sound.

"Kaba kaba~"

A squad of golden skeleton soldiers walked over, one of them beckoning to Li Chunfeng, its upper and lower jaws chattering as if greeting him.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up, we're going on patrol."

Li Chunfeng understood the meaning, looked at his own state, thought for a moment, and then joined in.

It's called a patrol, and it is a patrol.

These skeleton soldiers looked weak, but they were surprisingly fast, and Li Chun almost couldn't keep up. The surrounding situation was unclear, so he didn't dare use abilities beyond what the skeletons could muster. He could only quickly part the grass and catch up with the group. He saw lush green mountains all around, with tall trees and dense forests, and he didn't change direction.

There are places like this in the realm of the dead?

The golden skeleton soldiers moved swiftly, traversing the forests and thickets, finally reaching the depths. There were no ruins left; it was clearly a massive tomb of a skeletal king.

Whether there are still skeletal remains of kings in the tomb is unknown, but Li Chunfeng's patrol career did not end there.

They patrolled the royal tombs again and again, endlessly going back and forth.

The royal tombs have many layers, extending deeper and deeper underground.

The ground floor is surrounded by green hills and clear waters, and features a luxuriously decorated palace-style cemetery, which belongs to the outer area.

The cemetery gates were wide open, and every now and then a group of the dead would emerge from the cemetery and patrol in all directions.

Li Chunfeng, intending to explore the environment of this strange place, followed the patrol team around several times. Unbeknownst to him, with each additional circle he made, his consciousness grew increasingly clouded. Eventually, he was instinctively wandering with the team, almost losing himself in the process.

At the critical moment, the soul fire in the skull flashed once.

A lamp of the heart rose from above, its soft light descending and quickly refining the impurities that had clouded Li Chunfeng's soul.

It turned out to be the heart lamp in the small inner scene. Sensing hostility, it was provoked to erupt on its own, helping its master ward off evil spirits and preventing him from completely losing his way.

When Li Chunfeng regained consciousness, he was filled with dread.

"A bizarre domain!"

This is the only place he can think of.

The most bizarre things at the same level are often the pinnacle of that level.

When Li Chunfeng was catching the Ghost Snail Bug, the gray fog he encountered had already shown him its strange power and the incredible nature of the gray fog region.

The realm of the bizarre is also the most incomprehensible and mysterious area, and such places are often accompanied by strange rules.

This ancient cemetery is very likely to be such a place.

When Li Chunfeng first entered, he didn't notice any of this and casually accepted the invitation from the Golden Skull Patrol Team. He then continued patrolling without stopping, which was also due to the strange rules.

"No, we have to leave here."

Just as he was about to leave the patrol, the light of his inner lamp flashed, and he immediately stopped.

The spirits of the underworld are issuing a warning.

This approach is not feasible.

Li Chunfeng had a sudden inspiration and grabbed a skeleton in front of him, throwing it out of the patrol team.

Then a giant hand descended from the sky and grabbed the golden skeleton. A chilling wind blew as it moved, and with a snapping sound, the golden skeleton's bones were crushed to dust, which flowed down between the giant fingers.

Li Chunfeng felt a chill run down his spine as he assessed the strength of the owner of the giant hand.

Having fallen into this strange domain, his supernatural powers have been greatly diminished, and he is probably no longer able to fight against this giant hand head-on.

He grabbed several more skeletons and threw them out, finally discovering a pattern: the giant hand would only grab one golden skeleton that had strayed from the group each time. While it went to grab other skeletons, Li Chunfeng took the opportunity to escape the group.

Then ignite the eternal lamp of the heart!

All sorts of evil sensations were quickly refined and dispelled.

The Law of Light in the First Palm.

The Eternal Heart Lamp is the nemesis of evil spirits.

The green mountains and clear waters faded before my eyes, the surrounding world began to distort, the mountains trembled like waves, and huge stone statues rose from the ground. Each statue was a divine beast, and each one pulled out its sharp claws that were stuck into the mountain, emitting a monstrous aura.

A road paved with ashes appears in the middle of the mythical beast statue.

At one end of the road was endless mist, and at the other end lay the tomb of a skeletal monarch. Li Chunfeng lit his heart lamp to its maximum power, stepped onto this path of ashes, and walked into the mist.

An overwhelming pressure surged forth, causing his bones to creak and groan.

Li Chunfeng pressed on despite the pressure. Along the way, he saw the corpse of a sixth-tier corpse beast, as well as the scattered corpses of corpse demons. On a whim, he collected them all.

Until we completely emerge from the fog.

After he left this eerie realm, his flesh and blood were restored to their original state.

Li Chunfeng was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for the light of the heart today, I'm afraid it would be impossible to escape.

After this ordeal, he became more cautious, but also paid closer attention to the skeletal tombs of kings he had seen earlier.

He waved his hand and threw out the corpses of the Corpse Demon and the sixth-tier Corpse Hound.

"Necromancer Summoning!"

A massive hexagram array enveloped the corpses, and mysterious runes soared into the sky.

Even in death, one can be summoned: "Arise, fight for me!"

Under the shadow of black light, a throne appeared high in the sky, and the corpses swayed and stood up again.

After going around in circles, it still ended up in his hands.

Li Chunfeng looked back at the ruins one last time and left a mark there.

The tomb of the skeleton king has countless layers, and he always felt that he would return to this place someday.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled and his 4,000-strong undead legion is fully recruited, he decisively left the realm of the dead.

"Li Chunfeng!"

No sooner had they escaped the realm of death than a message arrived from the sword token.

"Teacher Qi Hua."

"Where did you run off to? Why didn't the sword token's summons work?"

"what?"

Li Chunfeng was surprised. Had the Death Realm also blocked the Sword Token?

"never mind."

Qi Huaxuexia had only asked casually, guessing that he might have gone to Yuancheng.

"Your application has been submitted and will be processed in a month at most. During this month, Zhang Laodao and I will be keeping an eye on the base. If the situation changes, you will still need to return immediately. The enemies you have provoked, those major tribes, are not to be trifled with."

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed. "Yes, thank you, teacher."

"Go ahead, the other side of the star gate is ready."

After giving some instructions, Li Chunfeng first sealed off the Immortal Cave, then took a large amount of resources and filled most of his two storage devices before stopping.

There are spiritual mines and spiritual objects among them.

This includes the Black Flame Firestone Mine mined in the Black Flame Tribe and various spirit mushrooms harvested from the mushroom farm in the Cat Spirit Tribe.

Because the amount was huge and it would be difficult to handle in Yuancheng, it was a good idea to take it back with us and exchange it for usable resources.

Aside from what he couldn't take with him, what he carried on his body were the fruits of his labor over the past year.

It may be worth hundreds of millions, but in terms of true value, it may not be comparable to a primordial spiritual fire.

"Brother Feng, you must come back soon. Without you, Xingling has nowhere to go." Xingling looked at Li Chunfeng pitifully, and even managed to squeeze out a few tears.

Li Chunfeng, however, scoffed dismissively, clearly not believing her words.

Taiyi did not follow Li Chunfeng into the Realm of Death.

This little girl followed Taiyi and Mosquito Taoist around begging for money, and she reaped enormous rewards.

This is an addiction to taking advantage of others, a case of being so happy that one forgets everything else.

“You’ve been quite lax lately. Now that we’re away, you should focus on your cultivation and not waste the Starlight Cleansing Elixir. Also, this ‘Star Guide Map’ will remain with you for now. If anything happens, you must contact me immediately, understand?”

Xingling's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the Star Guide Diagram. "I understand."

Li Chunfeng stood before the star gate teleportation array at the Dragon Lantern Base, checked himself again to make sure he had brought enough things, and then led the excited Taiyi, Randeng, and Wendaoren onto the teleportation array.

A flash of light appeared at the star gate, and he sensed a faint pulling force emanating from the extremely distant void.

Stargate teleportation is also an extremely sophisticated spatial teleportation technique.

If one can gain enlightenment here, it may benefit one's spatial magic and supernatural abilities.

But Li Chunfeng dared not try to comprehend it at this time. He immediately followed the guidance and stepped into the void wormhole. After a long time, a powerful teleportation force surged in, and he finally broke out from the other end.

After nearly two years in the Spirit Realm, Li Chunfeng finally returned to the secret meteorite base.

An old Taoist priest had been waiting in front of the Star Gate for a long time; it was none other than Zhang Jingyi himself.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes swept over Li Chunfeng, making Li Chunfeng feel a chill run down his spine.

The power in the eyes of the true Zhang Daoist was far greater than that of the eyes of the immortal's avatar.

Li Chunfeng dared not show the slightest disrespect.

"Major Li Chunfeng greets the General!"

Zhang Jingyi stroked his beard and nodded: "No need. The Immortal Avatar speaks highly of your strength, and I also want to see just how strong this genius who has reached the Yin Spirit Perfection in less than three years since his enlightenment is truly."

Just as Li Chunfeng was about to speak, Zhang Jingyi waved his hand to interrupt him, "However, these things can be done when you come back next time. I know you are eager to return, so I will not be the bad guy. Your return to the Earthly Realm this time can only be considered a temporary leave. If your achievements were not truly significant, I would never have approved your application."

"Thank you, General."

"Hmm. Your mission is not over yet, so you are still one of my men. Everything must be done in accordance with military regulations and you must pay attention to confidentiality. The teleportation array in the Earthly Realm has been activated. You should go back now and make sure to return on time so as not to delay military intelligence."

"Yes! Thank you again, General."

"Go."

After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.

Li Chunfeng walked around the meteorite base; the place had changed quite a bit.

What was originally just a huge meteorite hollowed out has now become connected to several other huge meteorites in the vicinity.

The surrounding runes and formations were faintly visible, indicating that these meteorites had already been forged into enormous primordial spirit weapons.

Li Chunfeng couldn't even imagine what kind of power such a massive meteorite base would unleash when activated.
Last time I came here, I had to take a large airship. Now, even the star gate teleportation array that leads directly to the Earthly Realm has been built.

When he stepped into the Star Gate again and came out, his eyes lit up; he had returned to the Earthly Realm.

The surrounding area was a grand hall building. When he extended his divine sense, he discovered that it was actually the city of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Such a massive star gate teleportation array was actually set up within the Mountain and Sea Realm City.

"Hey kid, what are you looking around for? You're out, why aren't you moving? Don't delay other people's teleportation."

A voice suddenly came from behind him. Li Chunfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he then saw an old man in a gray robe with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged on the stone platform behind him.

Strangely, the old man's eyes were empty, without any eyeballs.

Li Chunfeng's divine sense had clearly swept over the spot where he was sitting, but he hadn't sensed him.

Knowing that this old man was the important figure guarding the teleportation star gate, and seeing the old man's indifferent expression, he did not disturb him. He simply bowed respectfully to him, turned around, and disappeared into the void.

The old man looked up and glanced at the empty space, his expression somewhat strange, before reverting to his indifferent demeanor and sitting motionless on the stone platform.
