Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

"The Jade Fragrance Fruit is indeed effective."

Chen Yushu sensed it slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Although Chen Yushu's cultivation speed has never been low due to his meditative state, the tempering of his physique has improved his efficiency in absorbing and transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which naturally allows his cultivation efficiency to increase again.

Such an improvement is enormous for any cultivator.

"It's just a pity."

There are only two of these fragrant elixir fruits; the effect of the second one will be significantly reduced.

Chen Yushu felt a little regretful, but he still quickly swallowed the second Jade Fragrance Spirit Fruit.

Even if the effect is reduced, it still has an effect.

For him, even the slightest improvement in effectiveness would be excellent.

He didn't mind.

He then tried cultivating again and found that his efficiency in absorbing and converting spiritual energy from heaven and earth had indeed improved, but not significantly.

It's probably only about 10% of the first time.

Little by little, much will add up.

For me, being on the left and right has real benefits.

Not to mention, I now possess these two spirit fruit pits. If nurtured, it's not impossible for them to mature further and produce even more spirit fruits.

Chen Yushu glanced at the two fruit pits in his hand.

Although the spiritual energy within the fruit pit is not as strong as that of the spiritual fruit, it does indeed contain spiritual energy and vitality.

If cultivated properly, it is still possible to continue planting and eventually succeed.

Although it takes three to four hundred years from planting to flowering and fruiting.

But don't forget, he has now mastered quite a few spiritual plant spells, and he has cultivated the growth-inducing spell and the annual ring spell to a minor level.

Although it will inevitably consume a lot of energy and time, it is not impossible to accelerate its growth in a short period of time.

……

"My cultivation is just a little short of reaching perfection and the peak of the Night Wanderer Realm."

Chen Yushu glanced at his attribute panel.

Cultivation Level: Entering the Dao Night Travel Realm (99/100)

Previously, his cultivation level had already increased significantly due to consuming the dragon egg, reaching 93 points.

Now, after so much time of cultivation and accumulation, and with the addition of these two spiritual fruits, his cultivation level has finally increased by two points, reaching ninety-nine points.

It's just one step away from complete perfection and truly reaching the pinnacle.

He might be able to take this step in a day or two or three days.

Thinking about this, he felt a surge of excitement.

"Once my cultivation is complete, I can begin preparing for a breakthrough and enter the Sun Travel Realm."

Day trip to Japan.

It is the final stage of entering the Tao.

Once one reaches the Sun Travel Realm, their divine soul will no longer be afraid of the true light of the sun, allowing them to travel a thousand miles in a day. Their divine soul power will greatly increase, and their overall strength will also see a significant improvement.

"However, besides cultivation level, the most important factor in breaking through to the Sun Travel Realm is the concentration of pure Yang Qi within the soul."

Logically speaking, once the pure yang energy in one's soul reaches 30%, one can break through and achieve the ability to travel the soul daily.

The pure yang energy in my soul is now about 35%, which is enough.

However, achieving 50% is the safest approach.

Because by then, the pure yang energy will be able to completely cover the yin energy, and it can manifest during the day, allowing the soul to control the sword and enter and exit the azure sky..."

Chen Yushu muttered to himself, deciding that he should focus on cultivating the Nine Transformations of Yang Technique in the near future to eliminate as much Yin energy as possible from his soul.

At least the pure yang energy should be increased to more than 40%.

In this way, we will have a greater chance of making a breakthrough.

Then, without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged, instructed Xiao Hong to take good care of his physical body, and directly used the technique of communicating with the underworld!

Then, with a thought, he appeared directly in the Netherworld.

Within the underworld, darkness reigned as always.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounding them was much denser than that outside.

I didn't go inside for a day, and there weren't many changes around me.

The evil-faced demon, the red-haired corpse king, the pig demon elephant, the flying blood zombie, and the Yelang King were all around at this time.

In addition, Chen Yushu also noticed many low-level Netherworld undead creatures on the periphery.

"Owner!"

"I've met the master!"

"Master, you've arrived!"

As soon as Chen Yushu appeared, the Evil-Faced Ghost and the others bowed and greeted him.

What changes have occurred in the Underworld these past two days?

Chen Yushu nodded slightly and looked at the Flying Blood Zombie.

As the current king of the surrounding area, it naturally has the most knowledge about the outside world.

"There haven't been any major changes."

But now that I am the king of the surrounding ghosts, many undead spirits will follow me willingly, and I can't easily drive them away, so I can only arrange for them to roam the outer areas.

Flying Blood Zombie quickly spoke up.

This also explains why there are so many ghosts and spirits around.

This is actually a very normal thing.

The Ghost King must possess the imposing presence of a Ghost King.

They often have followers who are under their protection and shelter, and they also have their own residences or mansions.

Even though it's relatively simple, it's still much better in terms of both the concentration of spiritual energy and the environment.

Of course, the intensity of the yin energy is also much stronger.

"That's true.

"It's really not appropriate to stay here any longer."

Chen Yushu nodded, showing complete understanding.

He was then instructed to select a few suitable locations and move there after the selection was finalized.

He himself has stayed here only to practice his magic.

Because he had already advanced to the late stage of the Daoist Night Wandering Realm, he was not in a great hurry to cultivate his skills.

Now that the Ghost King of Flying Blood Zombies has a more and more stable position and has gradually gained more followers, it is no longer appropriate for him to stay on this small hill.

They are also very likely to be targeted by other ghost king forces in the surrounding area, thus falling into danger.

After all, there is no peace between ghost kings.

The competition for resources, treasures, and even status is fierce.

Previously, due to the lag in information dissemination within the Underworld, the news of the original Ghost King's fall and the birth of a new Ghost King may not have spread far, and very few other Ghost Kings knew about it.

Now, as time goes by, more Ghost Kings will inevitably become aware that a new Flying Blood Zombie Ghost King has appeared around them… Compared to the average veteran Ghost King, its strength is certainly weaker, making it the perfect time to strike and annex it. If they continue to linger in this exposed area, they will be at a significant disadvantage when other Ghost Kings arrive with their large forces.

Even with Chen Yushu's extraordinary strength and the presence of the veteran lone ghost king Yelang Wang, they were still unable to face the undead army that stretched as far as the eye could see.

……

After dealing with some issues briefly, Chen Yushu returned to his cultivation grounds and began practicing various spells.

At this time, he still had more than 180 spells at hand, but he had not yet mastered them to the minor completion stage.

Although he already knew many of the spell rune structures, almost every one of them contained more than one spell rune structure that he had never known or encountered before.

In other words, he still has at least two or three hundred gaps in spell rune structures that need to be filled.

All of these things will take time to fill.

These spells were the foundation he learned and the key to building his basic skills.

Therefore, even though there are many spells that are not very useful, or even completely useless to him, he is still willing to keep practicing and mastering them.

One, two, three...

Chen Yushu took out the jade slips and began practicing the spells one by one.

By now, his foundation is too deep.

The number of spell rune structures they had mastered had reached an astonishing level.

Therefore, even if there are many spell rune structures that he has not yet come into contact with or learned, he can understand them roughly with just a glance, and when he actually casts them, there will be no hesitation.

It's very easy to use mental power to cast spells, and then you can learn the basics of magic accordingly.

Moreover, he had already mastered the rune structure of most spells, at least half, even 70% or 80%, and these spells had been improved and optimized two or three times.

Therefore, his spellcasting speed is even faster.

The corresponding spell level increases more rapidly.

Often, after one or two uses, one can master the corresponding spell, and after three or four uses, one can advance to the minor mastery stage.

So much so that he was able to master two or three spells within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Half an hour is ten.

……

"I didn't expect that."

So quickly, the profound rules contained within the second innate divine ability have been perfectly matched with the corresponding spell rune structure.

After cultivating for an hour...

Chen Yushu's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Previously, through the Flying Blood Zombie, he had collected three ghost spirits that had mastered innate supernatural abilities: the Symbiosis Method, Soul Corrosion Poison, and Yin-Yang True Fire.

Among them, the method of symbiosis involves the fewest mysteries of rules, and the spell rune structure he has mastered is the one that fits the most well, so he has now mastered it.

In addition, there are two innate supernatural abilities: Soul Corruption and Yin-Yang True Fire.

The Yin-Yang True Fire involves a large number of mysterious laws, so even though it has mastered many spell rune structures, it is still some distance away from truly understanding and mastering them.

But that soul-corrupting poison is different.

There are only 113 profound laws involved. He had already mastered 101 of them. He only needed 12 more laws to match the structure of the spell runes he had mastered before he could start cultivating directly.

of course.

Because this innate divine ability is one that is compatible with the corresponding ghost spirit itself, in addition to its mysterious rules, it is also related to the other party's physical structure. Therefore, even if he has mastered all the mysterious rules, the methods he uses may not necessarily be this soul-corroding poison.

However, because its rules are relatively simple and he has mastered a large number of spell rune structures that match it, he has made it his next target to conquer.

Until now.

As he mastered each spell to a certain degree, he finally grasped three new spell rune structures and then mysteriously aligned the last spell rune structure with the final law within the soul corruption poison.

In other words.

At this point, he was actually fully capable of unleashing this innate divine ability, the Soul Amplification.

"However, the Soul Corruption Poison is an innate divine power possessed by that Corpse Demon, which is compatible with its physical structure."

I wonder if, after I unleash this power, it will also have the effect of corroding the opponent's soul, like a leech, poisoning their spirit and soul..."

Chen Yushu thought to himself, but did not hesitate at all.

Silently extract the profound rules involved in the soul corruption and compare them with the spell rune structure he has mastered.

Then, his mental energy stirred slightly.

One by one, he cast spell rune structures.

One, two, three...

Individual spell rune structures are continuously formed according to a specific arrangement.

The speed was not fast, but there was no stagnation whatsoever.

He had already mastered the structure of these spell runes to a minor level, and when he cast them normally, there was no possibility of any mistakes.

The only difficulty lies in the subtle sorting of these rules.

However, he had already imprinted the corresponding casting method in his mind, so there was no possibility of error. Therefore, even though the speed of his casting was slow and the efficiency was very low, he steadily engraved out each and every spell rune structure.

Ninety-nine, one hundred, one hundred and one...

Chen Yushu felt his mental energy being depleted.

Even when casting a spell normally, the process of condensing each spell rune structure is quite costly. Before he could even actually cast it, his mental energy had already been depleted by nearly 30%.

But his mind was completely calm.

One hundred and eleven, one hundred and twelve...

The moment he condensed the last spell rune structure.

buzzing...

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed that the spell runes he had cast around him were rapidly condensing into a unique circular structure.

At the instant the circular structure took shape, a special and mysterious power seemed to gather within it, seemingly converging from the heavens and earth.

This power was mysterious and strong, yet it also possessed a power that seemed capable of corroding any soul, giving Chen Yushu a feeling of thorns in his back.

Without hesitation, Chen Yushu moved it forward a little.

sizzle...

Silently, the attack hurtled towards the distance, moving at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, it traversed a distance of tens of feet and appeared a hundred feet away, where a black and white ghost stood.

There are countless undead spirits like the Black and White Ghosts in the Underworld; they are everywhere, and Chen Yushu had never paid them any attention before.

Then, this soul-corroding poison silently and directly landed on its body.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

"Not working?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback, a sense of doubt and disappointment rising in his heart.

However, just as Chen Yushu was about to look away, it was as if a gentle breeze had blown by, and the black and white ghosts vanished without a trace.

Soul fly away!

It no longer exists!
The other black and white ghosts around seemed oblivious to this, drifting by leisurely without the slightest panic, as if nothing had just happened. (End of Chapter)
