Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

With his eyes fixed on the vast cave, he could see everything within a certain radius, without missing a single detail.

So it is.

At this moment, he could discern the strength and location of all the ghosts within a hundred-foot radius around him.

Of course, this also includes the place called Ghost Cliff Pass, which is dozens of feet away.

"There really is a calamity-level early stage ghost spirit on the mouth of Ghost Cliff."

In addition, there are four more late-stage Demon-level monsters.

There were as many as fifteen malevolent spirits scattered around the area.

Although most of them were asleep because it was daytime.

However, if you get close enough, it's very easy to wake them up.

No wonder so few dare to travel this road.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yushu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

However, he didn't seem too worried.

His strength is his greatest source of confidence.

The caravan continued on its journey.

Despite the dense Yin energy, a few ghostly creatures still roamed around. Those with slightly weaker strength would be wary of the aura emanating from the blood and magical artifacts of these martial artists and cultivators, and dare not approach them.

However, those with slightly stronger abilities will continue to use ghost magic to exert influence.

Layer upon layer of mazes caused the caravan to frequently stray off course.

Although thanks to the reminders from Wang Wei and Yu Xiao, two experts who had been wandering in the underworld, things will soon return to normal, it still took some time.

Outside, the sun is setting.

The sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, the group of them finally arrived at the bottom of Ghost Cliff.

“Here, small things are especially needed…”

Wang Wei was about to open his mouth.

woohoo...

A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Immediately afterward, one of the guards suddenly turned around and shouted, "Wife, I'm here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, three more people turned around.

"Mom? Is Mom calling me?"

"My beauty, I've arrived..."

"Father, don't leave me..."

One by one, blinded by greed, they all dropped their weapons and ran away.

And gradually, more and more people seemed to be affected and wanted to turn away.

"Don't move, come back quickly!"

On the other side, Yu Xiao also shouted, but at this moment, the dark figure suddenly rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

"you dare!"

Wang Wei quickly summoned a magical throwing knife and charged straight at the attacker.

bump!
The throwing knife paused, and missed its target entirely.

The dark figure, like a phantom, rushed directly into the crowd and headed straight for the carriage.

"Humph!"

But it was at this very moment.

A cold snort was heard.

Then the dark figure that had just approached the carriage suddenly stopped, and then flew away at an even faster speed.

As soon as this voice was heard, the guards who had just been blinded by the ghost instantly came to their senses. Their faces were blank for a moment, but soon they showed signs of lingering fear.

Clearly, they were well aware that they had been bewitched and had almost fallen into an irreversible abyss.

"I never intended to kill you because I saw how difficult your cultivation was."

Now that you've come out to harm people, you can't blame me.

Chen Yushu gave a low shout, and then a thought struck him.

Immediately, a streak of light flashed past him and disappeared in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, they caught up with the fleeing shadow.

puff!
Like an arrow piercing the heart, it passed straight through without any obstruction.

The dark figure, as the light pierced through, quickly turned into black smoke and vanished without a trace.

They actually killed him outright and annihilated him.

Wang Wei and Yu Xiao were dumbfounded.

It should be noted that what is rushing over is a malevolent spirit, and even if it is only at the early stage of the malevolent level, it will not be easy to deal with.

It should be noted that ghosts exist without physical bodies, only souls, making them very difficult to kill in one blow. This is because their souls can reassemble after disintegrating, unless their life core is found and their soul crystal is destroyed.

But this is often extremely difficult.

Because their soul crystals are movable, they cannot be hit if you cannot see through them. Moreover, once the life core soul crystal is shattered, you can kill them directly, but no evil spirit essence or other substances will remain.

But they clearly saw that as the ghost spirit vanished, a soul crystal and three or four soul bones fell directly to the ground.

In other words, this attack not only killed the ghost spirit directly, but also did not damage its soul crystal in the slightest.

It is easy to imagine how powerful and terrifying it was.

"What's this?
magic weapon?

Who made the move?

"I think I saw that the light was flying out of that person's sedan chair?"

Could that person be a top-tier expert?

The people around were all dumbfounded.

Previously, they had complained that Manager Xu had reserved the best and most spacious carriage for Chen Yushu, since there were two great Yin cultivators among them who had entered the Dao and left the body realm, yet they could only share one carriage.

Although Manager Xu managed to calm her down, she couldn't help but feel some resentment.

Even Wang Wei and Yu Xiao couldn't help but have some doubts, but because they had a good relationship with Manager Xu, they didn't take it too seriously.

They simply assumed, on instinct, that Chen Yushu might be a member of a powerful family, someone of noble birth.

After all, he didn't exude any aura; he looked exactly like an ordinary person.

Only when they saw their opponent make a move, slashing through the air with a sword and directly killing a demon-level ghost spirit, did they understand the extent of their power and might that had exceeded their expectations.

It turned out that the opponent's strength was so formidable that they were far beyond their reach.

Let alone riding in the best carriage, even being carried by them would be an honor for them.

After all, the higher the strength of a Yin cultivator, the higher their status.

They knew all too well how much improvement a senior's guidance could bring to their cultivation.

At this moment, Chen Yushu used his magic weapon, the Heart Sword.

This was his first time using the Heart Sword since it was forged.

A single strike that cleaved through the air and killed a malevolent spirit was nothing to him.

Since he used his Heart Sword, it was definitely not just for this one evil spirit.

He also wanted to see just how powerful his refined Heart Sword really was.

So, once he unleashed his sword, he didn't pause at all. Like a streak of light, he quickly turned and appeared on another ghost spirit.

This one is also a spirit of the "Spirit" level, and it's even at the mid-stage of the "Spirit" level.

But when he pierced through with his sword, there was no hesitation whatsoever, and he annihilated it directly.

Then, the flying sword turned again, rushing towards the fourth and fifth ghost spirits, piercing them one by one. Now that he had made his move, Chen Yushu would not hesitate or pause in the slightest.

In the void, a flash of light appeared, moving at incredible speed.

If it weren't for the terrifying roars that came from the mouths of ghosts with each slash, the guards would never have been able to find the longsword.

In the blink of an eye, he annihilated the seven or eight evil spirits around him one by one.

But at this point, Chen Yushu showed no sign of stopping.

With a flick of his wrist, the sword flew upwards swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the edge of the Ghost Cliff.

That is, the legendary entrance and exit connecting to hell, the lair of a group of ghosts.

This place is certainly not an entrance or exit to hell; it's just that there's a natural, giant yin vein that attracts so many ghosts, which is why a ghost at the early stage of the disaster level was born.

But at this moment, with the appearance of Chen Yushu's flying sword, they faced annihilation.

quick!quick!quick!
Chen Yushu's magic weapon, the Heart Sword, is too fast.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the entrance of Ghost Cliff.

The successive howls of the ghosts had already alarmed the group of ghosts at Ghost Cliff Pass, and they all rushed out from the deepest part of the cliff.

The faster they rush, the faster they die.

Before the first ghost could even rush out, it saw a streak of light flash by and pass right through its soul.

It wasn't actually worried about this, because it knew that its soul was solid, and this sword strike could at most shatter its soul, but it couldn't kill itself completely.

Ghosts, especially those that have reached the late stage of the "Spirit" level, often have a second or third life.

As long as the soul remains, the physical body can reassemble and recover.

Although this sword strike had extremely strong penetrating power, it seemed to cause very little damage to the creature, making it completely insignificant.

However, the moment the thought flashed through its mind, an incomparably sharp and destructive force immediately surged through its soul, heading straight for its life essence...

sizzle...

Without a sound, it vanished completely, without even having a chance to scream.

The streak of light, after piercing through its body, lost all its remaining power and rushed directly to the second evil spirit, disappearing in a flash once more.

Then came the third, and the fourth.

quick!quick!quick!
The ghost spirits inside Ghost Cliff are much stronger than those below.

But when Chen Yushu's flying sword swept past, there was no difference at all; it was all just one sword strike, requiring only one strike.

After a single sword strike, no matter which ghost or spirit it may be, it will be annihilated and reduced to dust.

"Roar!

You dare!

At that moment, a piercing scream rang out.

"Ghost King!"
It's that ghost king here!

The expressions of the caravan members below changed.

The enormous sound, and the terrifying power emanating from it, immediately shocked and even terrified them.

After all, they all know very well.

The Ghost King at Ghost Cliff is a genuine early-stage Disaster level. Let alone them, even if there were twice as many, they would be no match for him.

Although the one before us has displayed such formidable strength, it remains to be seen whether he can still be as unstoppable and devastating as before when facing a calamity-level ghost spirit.

Only Manager Xu remembered the head of the family's instructions, which gave him more confidence.

After all, he knew that the man in front of him had an outstanding record and was even favored by Deputy Commander Yang of the Zhenyin Division.

They must have exceptional abilities.

"Ghost King?"
Turn it into a dead ghost right now!

Chen Yushu snorted coldly, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

A sword hum immediately emanated from the Heart Sword.

Then everyone saw a flash of light above the Ghost Cliff.

The flying sword immediately moved again, and in a flash, it rushed forward.

This sword strike was faster and quicker than the previous one.

The ghost king was extremely angry, and his aura surged to its peak.

Under the terrifying atmosphere, the surrounding wind and clouds changed drastically, and dark clouds pressed down overhead, making the already dim environment even darker.

Even more terrifying sounds, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, emanated from it.

The guards were extremely nervous.

But at that moment, the sword light flashed, seemingly unaffected and without any hesitation, and directly struck the Ghost King.

Then, it flashed by.

It seems there's no difference from before.

The flying sword flashed by like a startled swan, only pausing slightly before piercing through the enemy with a single point of sword light. Terrifying power erupted rapidly with each point of the sword's light.

boom!
The Ghost King's body exploded instantly.

Then, little by little, inch by inch, it turned to ashes.

Disappeared without a trace.

died!

on site.

There was silence.

The scattered ghosts seemed to sense something and dared not make a sound.

Among the guards, countless people stared in disbelief.

They clearly saw the terrifying Ghost King standing at the entrance of Ghost Cliff, radiating boundless power.

That aura left them with no doubt; the mere aftershocks would plunge them into boundless terror, eventually crushing them to death or scaring them to death.

But it was just one sword strike.

They clearly saw that Chen Yushu simply controlled that flying sword, and in a flash, he killed and annihilated the extremely powerful Ghost King.

That power and that shock were unforgettable for them.

At this moment, the surrounding environment seemed to have changed because of the Ghost King's fall.

The dark clouds and mist that had enveloped the entire forest seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Faintly, the evening glow shone through the gradually dissipating mist.

The yin energy, too, sizzled and dissipated as the sunlight fell.

This is a stunning scene.

Everyone stared blankly at the carriage, where no one had even shown their face.

Who is this person?
In Tianling County, has there ever been such a powerful and terrifying existence?

Despite slaying the Ghost King of Ghost Cliff with a single sword strike, Chen Yushu remained remarkably calm.

Back when he had just broken through to the Dao Night Wandering Realm, he had fought against a Azure Dragon at the early stage of the Disaster level without being at a disadvantage, and even won the battle.

He then went on to kill several more ghosts of this level, steadily increasing his strength.

Now, he has truly reached the Dao Entry Day Travel Realm level, and both his strength and methods have increased dramatically.

Not to mention, his breakthrough in reading and advancement in meditation to the level of "sitting in oblivion" made him more composed and powerful when he made a move, with every action containing the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Furthermore, what he was using at this moment was a magical version of a divine power that he had cultivated to a high level, capable of breaking through all laws with a single sword strike.

Combined with his magical Heart Sword, its power reached its peak.

Only then could he pierce through the air with a single sword strike and kill it directly.

In fact, with his current strength, he could easily kill not only early-stage Calamity-level ghost spirits, but even those a level higher. (End of Chapter)
