Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Ten breaths, eleven breaths, twelve breaths...

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

It was as if strands of the laws of heaven and earth had been gathered together at this moment.

An aura of terror then spread out.

Not only the flying blood zombies, but also the evil-faced ghosts, the red-haired zombie king, and the pig demon elephants all showed signs of panic.

This aura is far too unusual.

It instilled immense fear in them.

Become!

A glint of light flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes.

At this moment, he was using the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, which he had just mastered.

Previously, he had already mastered the technique in the real world, and was only one step away from being able to fully unleash it and enter the beginner stage.

However, he soon realized that he was surrounded by residential areas, and once that lightning spell was unleashed, it would inevitably cause a huge commotion, destroying much of the surrounding environment.

That's why he managed to dispel the spell in time.

Naturally, he also failed to fully grasp the basics of magic.

Upon entering the Netherworld, his intention was actually to perform this spell once, and then take the opportunity to master the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique.

However, considering the battle against the Flying Blood Zombie, his time in this Netherworld was limited.

Even though his meditative state improved and his corresponding divine soul became much stronger, the time he could stay in the Netherworld also increased significantly.

However, it only increased the time from one incense stick to two incense sticks.

It's not very long.

Therefore, he restrained himself and did not use the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique.

At this moment, having crushed the flying blood zombie and used the Spirit Communication Divine Seal but still failed to subdue it, Chen Yushu immediately thought of using the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique.

Having practiced extensively before, and having already nearly succeeded in performing the technique, he was quite adept at it this time.

He used it right away.

Buzz!
As his last spell rune structure took shape.

In the void of the underworld, the already dim space became even darker.

Endless dark clouds gathered there, densely covering the surrounding area.

Followed by.

sizzle...

Endless lightning power was rapidly brewing within it.

"fall!"

Chen Yushu gave a low shout and casually pointed at a huge red-leafed tree not far away.

boom!
A sting!
A massive bolt of lightning ripped through the sky and struck the red-leafed tree, splitting it in two.

The trees were charred black, and countless red leaves fell rapidly to the ground.

The scale and momentum were immense and quite frightening.

This caused the four evil spirits present to tremble, and their colorful eyes revealed endless fear.

Thunder and lightning!

Refa!

For almost all ghosts and spirits, they are an incredibly terrifying existence.

Even a small bolt of lightning can inflict devastating damage on them.

"I have indeed mastered the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique."

As Chen Yushu successfully executed the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, a sudden realization dawned on him.

My gaze fell on the attribute panel, and sure enough, it showed that I had already mastered the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique.

At this moment, he also realized that this spell was not just a single bolt of lightning.

Instead, there are five paths.

After the attack, the dark clouds in the void did not lessen at all, but instead became even thicker.

Chen Yushu flicked his finger again, pointing to a large rock in the distance.

Rumble!
The large rock was shattered into dust by the lightning strike, breaking into pieces completely.

Then comes the third course.

He then pointed to a small hillside.

boom!
They blasted a large section of that small hillside flat.

Finally, Chen Yushu turned his gaze to the Flying Blood Zombie.

In the void, the power of thunder within the lightning clouds was still accumulating and brewing.

But at this moment, endless fear was revealed in the eyes of the Flying Blood Zombie.

It had considered all of Chen Yushu's methods and made up its mind not to yield. However, when it saw the other party casually use lightning magic, the power was secondary; it was the unique aura of the lightning that made it instinctively tremble.

Therefore, when it noticed Chen Yushu's gaze on it, its originally fierce face immediately showed fear.

Then, it lost all will to resist and, at that moment, opened its heart and gave up resisting, allowing Chen Yushu's spiritual seal to flow into the depths of its mind.

Spirit Contract Successful!

Instantly, Chen Yushu felt a special sense of connection within his mind. This feeling was quite peculiar, as if he could sense the location and aura of the other party at any time, and even decide their life or death with a single word.

This aura is unique to the Flying Blood Zombie.

The other party formally accepted his spiritual seal and became one of his newest contracted spirits.

His gaze then shifted downwards, and he immediately saw the submission and closeness in the other person's eyes. Of course, as the other person's gaze tilted slightly, it also looked up at the thick thunderclouds in the sky, and a hint of fear and pleading was also revealed.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yushu smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased.

Then, he randomly selected a red-leafed tree, and with a slight pull, directly blasted the lightning onto the tree.

Immediately, a look of relief appeared on the ferocious face of the Flying Blood Zombie.

Hide away!

It was truly afraid, afraid that if it did not submit, that bolt of lightning would strike it.

Although, given his physical strength, a single lightning strike would hardly kill him completely, who would willingly endure such an attack if given the chance?
Not to mention.

It is a creature of the underworld.

He was born with a fear of thunder.

Being struck by lightning has a very high probability of completely shattering its soul and consciousness.

It naturally doesn't want to take such a risk.

Seeing this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but smile.

He was very satisfied with the Flying Blood Zombie's strength.

At the peak level of evil spirits, it possesses strength comparable to the early or even mid-stage of the evil spirit level. In addition, it has the ability to fly. For him, being able to fight, withstand attacks, and fly makes it an excellent helper.

of course.

If the other party insists on refusing to submit, Chen Yushu will definitely strike it with his final lightning bolt without hesitation.

After all, Chen Yushu wasn't indispensable to it.

The underworld is vast, and there are indeed ghostly zombies that are stronger and have more potential than flying blood zombies.

He could have easily chosen another to subdue. It was only because this creature was a demonic being recorded in the Book of Night Parades of One Hundred Demons, and its strength was indeed among the strongest of the demons of the same level, that he felt a greater desire and anticipation.

Now that the other party has chosen to submit, he naturally accepts it gladly.

"Unconsciously, almost two incense sticks have burned; time is running out!"

Chen Yushu suddenly felt his spiritual power slightly dissipate, knowing that he had been in the Netherworld long enough and that the spiritual shield he had set up on the surface of his soul was about to be broken by the Corrupting God Wind. His heart tightened, and he quickly looked at the Flying Blood Zombie and said, "Do you know if the Flower of Life and Death can grow here?"

Previously, he only wanted to recruit as many subordinates as possible from the Qiling, and the Flying Blood Zombie was one of his targets.

However, once he stepped into this place and discovered the many withered and flourishing grasses growing in this area, he became interested in the legendary life-and-death flower.

I've always been looking forward to finding out if there really are flowers that bloom and die in this area.

Now that he has subdued the Flying Blood Zombie, he wants to ask some questions.

"There are some!"

The Flying Blood Zombie stood up again at this moment. Despite its tall stature, it acted obediently and said repeatedly, "Before, when that strange flower bloomed, I ate one of the flowers, and my strength and potential increased greatly."

However, the other flower contained an extremely potent poison, and I dared not touch it at all.

I originally intended to destroy it directly.

Just earlier, the Black Demon King sent people to collect offerings, so I gave them the flowers.

As Flying Blood Zombie spoke, a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

"Collecting offerings?"
"Black Demon King?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback.

The evil-faced ghost beside him hurriedly said, "The Black Ghost King is a demon-level ghost king in the vicinity, and a large area around it belongs to its territory."

Even our original location belongs to it.

Therefore, any ghost or spirit living around us, whether it's me, the Red-haired Corpse King, the Pig Demon Elephant, or the Ghost King from before, needs to offer a sacrifice or treasure to it every so often in order to gain peace.

Otherwise, it will come and attack us directly.

Previously, there were a total of seventeen scattered kings and lone ghosts in this area.

Now, including us, there are only nine left.

The other eight were all beaten to death and devoured by the Black Demon King.

The red-haired zombie king and the pig demon elephant standing to the side both nodded.

Even Chen Yushu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

But thinking about it carefully, it does seem normal.

Competition exists in everything in the world.

In the underworld, although most of the creatures that live there are ghosts and inanimate objects, as long as they possess intelligence, there will inevitably be conflict.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a real phenomenon in that world, and indeed anywhere else.

That Black Ghost King was clearly an extremely powerful ghost, ruling over a region.

Although it is certainly far inferior to the owner of the roar that Chen Yushu originally heard, the Flame Demon God.

But at least in the surrounding area, it is the absolute dominant power, ruling over the entire region.

At least before, the Evil-Faced Ghost, the Red-Haired Corpse King, the Pig Demon Elephant, and the Flying Blood Zombie were all considered subordinates of the other party.

To survive in its territory, one must offer tributes and be subject to its commands.

Otherwise, they would either have to move away or be beaten to death by the other party, who would then devour their original soul essence.

It is obvious that the closest instance was when the other party accepted offerings.

Unfortunately, the Flying Blood Zombie had already given away the 'Life Flower' as an offering.

"Owner.

Since the Black Demon King sent his men out to collect offerings...

Then they will probably arrive in our territory very soon.

Should we also make some preparations...?

At this moment, the red-haired corpse king also emitted mental fluctuations.

Ghosts like these cannot communicate directly with Chen Yushu; they can only communicate through mental fluctuations.

"what to prepare?
Is it also called offering sacrifices?

Chen Yushu asked a question in return, his brows furrowing slightly.

Before this, he had never thought about this issue, and he certainly wouldn't choose to obediently compromise.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "Do you know the true strength of that Black Ghost King?"

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.

Since the Black Ghost King is so feared by the Evil-Faced Ghost and others, and even top-tier evil spirits like the Flying Blood Zombie have to obediently offer sacrifices to him, his strength is obviously extremely formidable.

But even the strongest has its limitations.

Chen Yushu today is not the same as before.

"Late stage of the Demon level."

The red-haired zombie king quickly said.

"Late stage of the Demon level?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback, realizing that the situation was indeed somewhat tricky.

After all, the strongest he had ever fought was only a ghost spirit at the early stage of the Chong level. The fish demon he killed in Beijiao Village was at the mid-stage of the Chong level, but it was locked in by an array and its strength was not fully utilized.

And the later stages of the "Spiritual Level".

He had never actually encountered it before.

"Moreover, it is accompanied by four ghost guardians, all of whom are at the early stage of the Demonic level and are extremely powerful... This is why all the evil spirits around it, even if they are unwilling, have no choice but to submit."

As if afraid that its master would think it had given in because of cowardice, it quickly spoke up to add to the story.

"One late-stage Spirit level, four early-stage Spirit level... that's quite a formidable force."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Chen Yushu's face.

There is indeed some regret in my heart.

He had originally planned to obtain the 'Life Flower' from the Flying Blood Zombie. The boundless life force contained within the Life Flower would be an invaluable tonic for him, and under its influence, it could even significantly enhance his strength.

Unexpectedly, the 'flower' was sent away by the Flying Blood Zombie.

Although from the other party's tone and expression, it was clear that the other party had ill intentions in giving that 'flower,' hoping that the Black Ghost King would be unable to resist eating it, thus greatly increasing his vitality and dispelling his death aura.

Naturally, one's strength would be completely lost, and it is even highly possible that one would perish.

After all, the source of a ghost's power is the yin energy within its body, the essence of its soul... When it is occupied by life force, its strength will naturally be greatly reduced.

Once such a thing happens, they won't even need to lift a finger; a major battle will erupt within them, naturally eliminating the threat above them.

But Chen Yushu knew very well that the Flying Blood Zombie had done something really stupid.

Since the Flying Blood Zombie was able to detect the threat contained within the blooming flower, there's no reason why the Black Ghost King wouldn't be aware of it.

Instinctively, one will naturally resist it, thus discarding it or putting it aside...

"Pity……"

Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh.

This is definitely not good news for him.

As for robbery?

Chen Yushu fell into silent contemplation. (End of Chapter)
