Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

It's almost done!
Chen Yushu then realized what was happening.

He realized that this was because he had already mastered the Blood Escape Technique to a minor level.

"With the minor mastery of the Blood Escape Technique, the structure of the spell runes has also been optimized, making it comparable to the advanced stage of the Blood Escape Technique."

Perhaps with the next breakthrough, when I reach mastery, the structure of my spell runes, after optimization, will be able to reach the same level of optimization as the original perfect spell.

After comparing them, a glint of light flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes.

The simpler the structure of a spell rune, the closer it is to evolving into a profound law.

The greater the natural power, the faster the spellcasting speed.

Without hesitation, Chen Yushu immediately began casting the spell again.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After ten breaths.

A flash of red light appeared on Chen Yushu's body.

The next moment, he had already appeared twenty feet away.

Just then, from afar, they saw the figures of Flying Blood Zombie, Evil-faced Ghost, and Red-haired Corpse King rushing over.

Upon seeing Chen Yushu's figure disappear and instantly reappear twenty feet away, they froze, their faces showing disbelief.

"Did you...did you see that?"

"Master disappeared... and then reappeared."

"This technique... it's so similar to flying, a blood escape technique?"

"Isn't this Blood Escape Technique an innate divine ability?"

……

The evil-faced ghosts and other spirits looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even the Flying Blood Zombie himself stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

It always knew that its master wanted to learn its innate supernatural abilities.

As a spirit, it had no room to resist, nor did it ever think of refusing. In fact, it didn't believe that its master could really learn its innate supernatural power.

After all, even he himself didn't understand the principles behind it, let alone know how to teach it.

Innate supernatural power is simply innate supernatural power.

It is something that belongs exclusively to oneself.

No one else can take it away or learn it.

But the result?

Seeing Chen Yushu's figure flash by and appear directly twenty feet away, it was immediately dumbfounded and bewildered.

Has the master really learned it?
This is an innate supernatural ability.

You think you'll learn it just by watching me demonstrate a few times?

"Ten breaths, twenty zhang."

After reaching a certain level of proficiency, the casting time of the Blood Escape Technique becomes even shorter, only ten breaths.

Moreover, the distance has doubled from the original level.

It was increased from eleven zhang to twenty zhang.

It immediately boosted my ability to survive by a significant margin.

After all, in certain life-or-death situations, time and distance are of paramount importance.

After silently comparing them, Chen Yushu's face was full of joy.

"Owner.

"Was that a Blood Escape Technique you just used?"

At this moment, the masked demon cautiously approached and asked.

"That's right.

Blood Escape Technique.

However, it differs somewhat from the Blood Escape Technique of the Flying Blood Zombie; it is merely a simplified version.

To achieve something like that—not only instantaneous but also with an extremely long range—is still a long way off.

Chen Yushu nodded and readily admitted it.

That's right. To truly unleash the Blood Escape Technique instantly, he still needs to go through two stages: Mastery and Perfection.

It would take at least several hundred more attempts to achieve that.

Although to others it seems incredibly fast that a spell can be mastered to perfection in just a few hundred uses.

Upon hearing Chen Yushu's words, the expressions on the faces of the several undead were quite interesting.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yushu actually learned the Flying Blood Zombie's innate divine power.

Even though it's just a simplified version, it's already quite remarkable.

"I just heard you went to participate in the Ghost King competition?"

What was the result?

Immediately afterward, Chen Yushu seemed to recall what the King of Yelang had said earlier, and couldn't help but ask.

"Won!"

Before the Flying Blood Zombie could speak, the Evil-Faced Ghost hurriedly spoke up, a hint of pride showing on his face.

After all, the Flying Blood Zombie, like it, was a contracted spirit of Chen Yushu.

Although the gap in strength between the two has been widening, to some extent their status is still quite similar.

Naturally, the stronger and higher the status of the Flying Blood Zombie, the happier it is.

The saying "When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" perfectly illustrates this point.

If the brother's status rises, its status will naturally rise as well.

"Oh? Not bad!"
From now on, won't I have to call you the Flying Ghost King?

Although Chen Yushu had already guessed it, he couldn't help but smile at this moment.

"Master, you are joking."

Even if I have a high status, I am still your contracted spirit.

However, this time it was indeed a bit dangerous.

"If the King of Yelang hadn't taught me a few special skills beforehand, I might have really failed."

Flying Blood Zombie also showed a hint of humility, "Moreover, this time, the main reason is that it happened suddenly."

There were relatively few undead around who had received news of the Black Demon King's demise.

That's how I can get a bargain.

Otherwise, once the news spreads completely and powerful undead from all directions gather, I estimate it will be very difficult to seize the title of Ghost King this time.”

Chen Yushu nodded, knowing that this was indeed the case.

This time, only the undead from a few adjacent Ghost King areas came. They can't all be called weak, but the number of relatively powerful undead is indeed limited.

After all, this time, there weren't many ghosts at the late-stage of the Demonic level.

However, as time goes by, once the news of a vacant Ghost King in a certain area spreads, it will not only reach neighboring Ghost King areas, but also areas further away.

At that time, many powerful ghost kings will naturally arrive one by one to compete for the position of ghost king.

Among them are beings who truly possess the strength of a Ghost King.

It was only because the area where the other party originally resided had a stronger Ghost King that they had to submit to him.

But precisely because of this, when a vacancy for a Ghost King arises, they will naturally fight tooth and nail for it.

At that time, without an overwhelming means, it would be almost impossible to seize the throne of the Ghost King.

"Even so."

Next comes the most crucial part.

Because, as time goes by, many powerful undead will quickly arrive and challenge you.

Only by taking on those challenges can you truly establish yourself and be crowned king.

This period is known as the period of the struggle for supremacy among a hundred demons.

Many of the ghosts who initially earned the title of Ghost King perished during this period.

Fortunately, by this time, the Ghost King already had his own territory and various local resources, so his strength could usually increase rapidly.

"So unless it's an extremely powerful undead, or someone who possesses strength no weaker than a true Ghost King, it will be very difficult to dethrone you from the position of Ghost King." King Yelang chimed in at this opportune moment.

"The period when a hundred demons vied for the throne?"
Doesn't this count?

Chen Yushu couldn't help but ask in confusion.

No, it doesn't.

This is just a battle for the throne.

The period of the Hundred Ghosts vying for the title of King of Ghosts occurs only after the position of King of Ghosts has already been determined.

Generally, the limit is one hundred moon cycles or one hundred challengers.

As long as one can remain undefeated among a hundred challengers, or maintain one's position as a Ghost King within a hundred moon cycles, one can truly secure one's position as a Ghost King even without a hundred challengers.

At that time, it can be handed over to the local ghost lord in the form of a written report.

Thus, one can obtain the protection of the Ghost Lord.

King Yelang himself possessed the strength of a Ghost King. Although he was a lone Ghost King and did not occupy any territory, he was naturally aware of these rules.

"One hundred moon cycles should be one hundred days."

But what kind of being is this Ghost Lord?

Chen Yushu was taken aback upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask.

One hundred moon cycles actually means the moon rises and falls a hundred times, which is roughly three months, or one hundred days.

He already knew this.

But the Ghost Lord was someone he had never heard of before.

Could it be that among these ghosts and spirits, there is another organization similar to an official one?
"The Ghost Lord is also known as the Ghost Ancestor."

They are generally evil spirits at the level of Calamity.

For example, this area is known as the Dark Ghost Realm, and its Ghost Lord is the Flame Demon God, who possesses the strength of the Calamity level.

In this dark and ghostly region, the Flame Demon God is the absolute king, the ancestor of ghosts.

All the ghost kings in this region revere him and are correspondingly protected by him.

If you encounter an enemy, you can escape directly to its location. The enemy will take action because it is the Ghost King of its own ghost realm.

Of course, it wouldn't pay much attention if the distance was too far, or if it died in other battles.

After all, it couldn't be bothered with over a hundred ghost kings and more than ten ghost lords in that area.

King Yelang, naturally, dared not neglect Chen Yushu's question and quickly explained.

Chen Yushu nodded, indicating his understanding.

In the underworld, there are countless ghost kings and many ghost spirits of the level of "Sui" or above. Naturally, they would not be of much concern to a "Curse-level" ghost spirit like the Flame Demon God.

Not to mention, it feeds on ghosts, consuming countless spirits every day, including many high-level evil spirits.

If it weren't for the Ghost King, it wouldn't have given it a second glance.

Because when it sees the other, it probably won't be able to resist opening its mouth and swallowing it whole.

When Chen Yushu first entered the Underworld, he had seen the other party eating from afar, which truly shocked him.

"How many Calamity-level ghost spirits are there in the Underworld?"

And who is the strongest?

Chen Yushu had been curious about this issue, and now that it had come up, he couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know the specifics."

After all, I'm still far from that level.

However, I have vaguely heard people talk about the Eight Great Ghost Lords, the Three Great Ancestors of Death, the Four Great Gods of Death, and so on.

If we understand it this way, then there are fifteen disaster-level tiers.

Of course, the specifics should be more detailed.

Because I once heard my father say that in the Dead Sea of ​​the Underworld, there are three immortal beings.

Judging from my father's tone at the time, these three immortals must have been extremely powerful, far surpassing ordinary Calamity-level ghost spirits..."

The King of Yelang shook his head and said.

"Eight Ghost Lords, Three Death Ancestors, Four Death Gods, and Three Immortals?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback.

These individuals, just by their names, one can guess that they must be incredibly powerful.

And those who can be sung about in this way must be beings at the level of Calamity.

Even above the level of the Calamity.

Of course, Chen Yushu didn't know whether there were anything above the Calamity level.

Evil spirits and calamities are a classification of power for undead beings that has circulated in the real world.

This is also the power system that most ghosts and spirits themselves openly acknowledge.

But is there anything stronger?

We haven't even figured it out in the real world, let alone in this underworld.

As far as he knows, the only ones who can enter this world are the Huangshan Patriarch and himself, who has received the other's inheritance.

Naturally, information about the underworld is very limited.

"However, these are still too far away for me."

All I need to do is improve my skills step by step.

We'll talk about the rest later.

Chen Yushu took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.

Sometimes, knowing too much about powerful beings isn't necessarily a good thing.

Because that would make people acutely aware of the gap, leading to feelings of despair.

This certainly wouldn't affect Chen Yushu.

After all, he has an attribute panel, and his Dao Realm has reached the level of the Huangshan Ancestor, who is above the Soul Refining Realm, True and False, Transformation of Yang, and Life-Taking Realm.

His cultivation speed is unparalleled.

The improvement of various skills and techniques was also incredibly rapid.

Although the gap was huge at the moment, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he would catch up with, or even surpass, those beings.

"Flying Blood Zombie, come, continue to use the Blood Escape Technique."

Then, Chen Yushu calmed his mind and quickly focused his attention back on cultivation.

Although he can steadily improve his cultivation speed through continuous practice.

However, if he could continuously observe the Flying Blood Zombie using the Blood Escape Technique, his cultivation speed could still be increased significantly.

After all, when the other party performed the technique, it was entirely based on the profound rules. Although it couldn't be as convenient as being taught orally, just watching him perform it was enough to give him endless insights.

After all, he hadn't mastered the basics before, and when he watched, he could only see things vaguely and couldn't see them clearly.

He has now mastered the Blood Escape Technique to a minor level, possessing many techniques and understanding the specific principles of its casting.

You'll naturally be able to see more.

It can also see through the mysterious operating principles and fundamental mysteries of certain rules.

Flying Blood Zombie naturally dared not neglect Chen Yushu's orders.

Without hesitation, he quickly stood still and began to perform the technique.

At this moment, Chen Yushu had already focused all his attention on him, and he saw the 172 rules mysteriously reappear, and were operating under some special rules.

Then, the Flying Blood Zombie flashed and quickly disappeared.

It will reappear ten zhang away.

Ten zhang is certainly not its limit.

If one is simply applying rationality, there is no need to fly too far.

"I see.

As expected, my understanding differs somewhat from the true Blood Escape Technique.

Here, here, and here, adjustments still need to be made.

"Although these spell rune structures are similar, there are actually differences in certain details, and they are even more different from the fundamental mysteries..."

Almost instantly, Chen Yushu had an epiphany. (End of Chapter)
