Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Ghosts and spirits are formed from the souls of all living beings. Resentment, yin energy, death energy, and so on—the most evil and yin energies can all cause the deceased to become ghosts.

Yin spirits are born ignorant and need the innate wisdom of all spirits to keep their minds clear so that they can glimpse opportunities for cultivation. Among them, human blood and soul are the best.

Once one's spirit and soul are strong enough to cultivate an extremely Yin soul body, one can truly possess autonomy and wisdom.

Gu Qing has a female ghost in red under his command. She is a seventh-grade extremely yin ghost. Yin gives rise to yang. Only by resisting the erosion of yang energy and cultivating yang energy in her soul can she break through to the sixth grade.

When the Yin and Yang reach a balance and finally merge into one, the soul becomes like a physical body, no different from any living being, and thus becomes a fifth-rank ghost!

This is the path that other races must take after death to become ghosts, becoming acquired ghosts. But the Netherworld corresponds to the entire Cangwu cultivation world, which is so vast.

Years ago, Gu Qing ventured into the Netherworld to seek the return of the earthly souls to oneness, and thus visited the banks of the River of Oblivion, where he witnessed the true face of the Netherworld, that realm of ghosts.

Ghosts born from the netherworld possess yin and yang souls by nature and are the natural rulers of the netherworld, hence they are called the Lord of the Netherworld.

This kind of being has terrifying potential. As long as it develops naturally, it will become a fifth-rank Netherworld Lord after reaching adulthood, and it is a completely different kind of creature from the Netherworld Ghost.

The Yin Tian Ghost Emperor of that time was a naturally born Netherworld Lord who was born in the Cangwu cultivation world and had not yet fully matured.

These monarchs who can draw power from the Netherworld are extremely powerful. At the same level, they can draw power from the Netherworld just like cultivators draw power from the Heavenly Dao of Cangwu.

GM is using cheats!

He's incomprehensibly strong.

Therefore, history records many legends about the underworld. The first and second tribal wars both occurred there, causing very serious disasters and warning future generations.

Gu Qing already knew about this matter, but the problem was that the war had just begun. Although the killings had gone a bit too far, it hadn't reached the point of giving birth to Youjun.

"The Netherworld is not connected to the human world. Cultivators of the sixth rank and below can only enter in their soul form, and it is very easy for them to never return."

"Those of the sixth rank and above can cross over physically, but they also need to find the weak point between the two realms, which is—the Yin-Yang Path!"

Gu Qing stroked the jade slip, pondering the various reasons within it, and secretly made calculations.

"Even if a new Youjun was born because of excessive killing, it hasn't been long, less than a year, so there's no reason for him to have fully matured."

"Moreover, instead of summoning the ghost army and causing even greater disaster, they ambushed two top-level experts. This makes no sense and is impossible."

The Netherworld represents the death aspect of the world and is the mortal enemy of the living. While acquired ghosts may have room for negotiation due to their past memories, the naturally born Netherworld Lords who have obtained the power and authority of the Netherworld are different.

Their sole purpose in life is to turn the world into a hellish place.

Legend has it that the original Abyssal Demon Clan of the Three Thousand Realms of Guixu was the culprit who successfully annihilated the living in the Netherworld, leading to the imbalance of Yin and Yang and the destruction of the world.

This legend should not be entirely believed, nor should it be completely disregarded.

In short, it is absolutely qualified to be classified as an enemy of the same level as the Guixu Demon, and the chain reaction brought about by the deaths of the two supreme powerhouses is enormous.

I received the news a few days ago.

The Void Battlefield has officially ceased hostilities. Regardless of whether the fighting is over or not, the remaining Supreme Dao Lords can no longer put themselves in danger.

Tian Yunzi, Beiming Jinmu Yuanjun, Feng Xian, and the top experts of the Four Seas Dragon Clan all arrived at the Burial Valley, each with a solemn expression.

Not long after, another Daoist meeting was held.

The principle that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits is understood by everyone. The underworld is also a great enemy of the living, so both sides agreed to a truce.

Of course, this only applies to the top level.

The lower and middle classes are already fighting like madmen; once the war starts, it won't stop so easily.

The temporary conference hall built in the funeral valley.

Due to his outstanding performance during the challenge, Gu Qing was seated in the eighth position of the human race, the position above which was originally occupied by Daoist Yunmeng.

After Tian Jianzi's death, his body was never found. The human powerhouse ranked below him automatically moved up one place. The one who took the seventh seat was not Gu Qing, but another fifth-rank sword cultivator from Tianjian Mountain. Known as the "Qimen Sword Lord," he cultivated sword formation techniques and was Tian Jianzi's junior brother. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his emotions were unstable.

His strength is about average compared to Gu Qing, but it is outstanding compared to other high-level Dao Lords.

The fact that I can sit here is because I inherited the connections and legacy of Tian Jianzi after his death, and I also have the potential to reach the highest level.

He spoke first shortly after taking his seat.

"Everyone, the cause of my senior brother's death is suspicious. We must investigate it thoroughly and find out who is behind it before we can continue the Cangwu plan."

Qimen Sword Master's words were self-serving, but also reasonable; otherwise, Tianyunzi and the others wouldn't have come back to hold a meeting and specifically discuss this matter.

"Qimen Sword Master, this matter is not only a matter for the human race. We are equally saddened by the death of Tianjianzi. The Devouring Sun Hou, who died in the demon race, was the fourth strongest. His loss was even more severe than ours."

The one who said this was Daoist Jiu Lei. Although it lacked a bit of human touch, the reasoning behind it was sound.

"Furthermore, the Land of Death is too far from us. It is the border between the western wilderness and the latter half of the endless wilderness. It is possible to explore it if one's cultivation level is low."

"Now that the war has begun, we are being watched too closely, making it difficult to uncover the truth without the help of the demon spies."

Qimen Sword Master's expression turned cold as he looked at Tianyunzi, who was in the second seat.

As the most easy-going and cunning old hand among the supreme Dao Lords.

Tian Yunzi plucked a beard hair from his head and smiled wryly.

"I will contact my senior brother and ask him to help me calculate the secrets of heaven, or perhaps he has any clues."

"Regardless of the outcome, the funeral arrangements for Fellow Daoist Tianjian must still be made."

Having received confirmation, Qimen Sword Master bowed to Tianyunzi from afar as a gesture of gratitude.

"My senior brother's remains have vanished, so erecting a cenotaph is meaningless. How can he rest in peace?"

"With war raging right now, it's difficult for the disciples of Tianjian Mountain to attend the funeral. Let's wait until everything is over before we talk about it."

"Fine..."

The council's purpose was not solely to discuss the aftermath of Tian Jianzi's death; as a top human expert, his death deserved an explanation.

Secondly, one must be wary of matters concerning the netherworld.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss a new set of rules and how to contend with the demon race. Considering the entire race, the death of one person seemed less important.

Just at this time.

A figure shrouded in black appeared outside the hall to pay his respects. This was a spy planted within the demon race, or in layman's terms, a demon traitor, not a human.

This kind of thing exists on both sides, so it's nothing special.

The news that followed was earth-shattering.

"The White-Haired Demon Lord, the Devouring Demon Dragon, and the Peerless Demon Saint, along with other powerful demon cultivators from the far north, secretly crossed the North Sea. Taking advantage of the absence of the supreme demon emperors of the Western Wilderness, they killed three lower-ranking demon lords and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of demons."

"The Blood River, the Snow Spring of Tianshan, and the Valley of Ten Thousand Blades have all been stolen. The powerful figures of the Western Wilderness, such as the Golden Crocodile, the Golden Lion, and the Six-Eyed Starry Sky Ape, are all furious and have personally pursued and killed them."

The powerful human cultivators were all speechless. They knew that demonic cultivators were despicable, but they never expected them to be this despicable.

Qimen Sword Master slammed his fist on the table and stood up in anger.

"Could it be that they ambushed us?"

"wrong."

The Great Dream Immortal Lord appeared silently, glanced at the Mysterious Sword Lord, and the latter immediately sat back down. (End of Chapter)
