Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 222 The Passage of Ghost Soldiers
Numerous blurry figures were moving through the dark clouds.

Chu Danqing couldn't see its detailed appearance clearly, but he could make out its general outline.

They were a group of soldiers wielding spears and wearing ancient armor, but both their weapons and armor were tattered and worn.

Nevertheless, the aura emanating from him was extremely terrifying, even Guo Ming was wary of him and dared not make a move.

"The ghostly army is passing through." Chu Danqing said in a low voice. This was not only part of the feng shui knowledge brought about by his identity, but also some rumors and stories that he had learned before.

"Strangers should not look up or turn around."

Chu Danqing spoke in a deep voice and immediately turned his head away. Guo Ming naturally believed Chu Danqing and also turned around.

However, this made it impossible for them to confirm the situation of the ghost soldiers, but the footsteps behind them were mixed with the sounds of horses' hooves and carriages.

It was clearly a cavalryman, a charioteer, or a figure like a Yin general.

The chilling feeling behind him intensified, even causing a crack to appear in the array that Guo Ming had set up.

Clearly, they could not withstand the yin energy brought by the passing of these ghostly soldiers.

Guo Ming swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but under the influence of the chill, it quickly condensed into ice crystals.

He clenched his hands tightly, his face full of tension.

Since I started following Chu Danqing into the various trials of the Paradise, I have never encountered such a situation.

In the past, thanks to his higher rank, few people could rival him, except for the Empress Dowager.

He thought he could maintain this dominance in Tier 1, but the first trial gave him a rude awakening.

Chu Danqing also noticed Guo Ming's condition and immediately pressed down on his shoulder to comfort him, saying that there was no need to worry.

This very dark trial world, like my original preparatory trial and first trial, belongs to the type where the parts are similar but the trial world itself is very strong.

Outside the tomb are airplanes and cannons; inside, monsters roam freely.

Now that even ghost soldiers have appeared, it means that this trial world is very likely to have a hellish underworld or a similar place.

He simply doesn't usually interact with people.

However, the Cangmang Ancient Ridge might be an exception. It is highly likely that this place is where Yin and Yang meet, so entering the tomb may lead to encounters with things from the underworld.

Another reason is that the feng shui layout of the Yuanping King's tomb, which seems to indicate a high chance of survival, actually blocks all avenues of life.

This leads to the accumulation of stagnant energy, making the interaction between yin and yang more pronounced.

After being violently defeated by Guo Ming, the Yin soldiers eventually passed through the Yin realm and entered the Yang realm.

However, the ghost soldiers did not choose to attack them, presumably because they were bound by military orders. Since Chu Danqing and the others did not obstruct them, they ignored them.

After about an hour, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the chilling aura began to dissipate as well.

The magic array was already riddled with cracks, and before Guo Ming could even put it away, the entire array shattered before their very eyes.

This is just the aura created when the ghostly soldiers passed through; they turned into this state without taking any actual action.

A bitter smile appeared on Guo Ming's face: "Now that I see this world, it is vast, and I am still like a mayfly."

If I were to cultivate the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Scripture to perfection, perhaps I could fight against the Yin Commander of these Yin Soldiers.

But this only applies to Yin Shuai.

"Don't belittle yourself. We've only been cultivating for a short time," Chu Danqing comforted him. "Besides, you've been suppressing your growth for my sake."

"Otherwise, given your cultivation progress, you would certainly be no less advanced than your elder brother by now."

Guo Ming once said that he would be able to catch up with his older brother in three years.

Therefore, his current rate of improvement is actually problematic.

After all, if he were to unleash his full potential, the cost for Chu Danqing to summon him would be extremely high.

This will lead to Chu Danqing summoning him less and less, causing the relationship between the two sides to deteriorate and the Guo family to suffer unnecessary losses.

Therefore, suppressing his growth is actually beneficial, since the Guo family doesn't lack him as a combatant at this stage.

"No wonder the Mountain Moving Taoist didn't dare to break down the wall. With his knowledge of feng shui, he must have known how to leave, but he understood the consequences of opening it."

"Once opened, it will inevitably cause a brief convergence of yin and yang in this place."

"We're lucky in this situation; it's just that ghostly soldiers are passing through."

"If you're unlucky enough to fall directly into the underworld, then you're doomed forever," Chu Danqing said.

He was actually still shaken, but seeing Guo Ming's expression, he couldn't show any weakness; he had to calm the situation down.

So he changed the subject and continued, "That's why he'd rather starve than take action."

"This also shows that the tomb of Prince Yuanping is indeed interconnected."

"The more knowledgeable someone is about feng shui and tomb raiding, the less likely they are to come in."

“I think Zhong Ting’s senior uncle was probably not just scared away by the tomb guardian beast, but rather he realized the Netherworld Ferry and that’s why he left.”

“He knew this trip was a one-way trip, which is why he left immediately.” Chu Danqing said, and at this point, he understood why the staircase was called the ferry crossing.

Then another thought occurred to him: Yuanping King had stayed in this wretched place for so long, and since his death, his body had been tainted by yin energy and death energy. What kind of ferocious creature would he become now?

According to Chu Danqing's judgment, the passage of ghost soldiers already falls into the category of difficulty exceeding level 1.

In reality, as long as you don't act recklessly, and with the corresponding knowledge given by your identity, the biggest challenge is the erosion caused by the yin energy emitted when the ghost soldiers pass by.

As long as you don't do anything stupid, the ghost soldiers won't choose to attack you.

Guo Ming quickly recovered, realizing that he had experienced few setbacks along the way.

This is a good thing for him, so that he won't become arrogant.

It gave him a sense of caution, like when he dared to travel the world without any real strength.

"Indeed, we cannot underestimate the people of this world. Although the people in this trial world are not very strong, their feng shui skills are extremely mysterious." Guo Ming echoed in agreement.

"Although the yin energy here has dissipated, I still think it's not advisable to stay any longer. Let's head to the area where Prince Yuanping's coffin is located as soon as possible to retrieve the Ziwei Jade Seal."

Guo Ming urged Chu Danqing, "This place is indeed gloomy."

Chu Danqing did not refuse, and everyone hurriedly left.

After crossing the Netherworld Ferry, you will arrive directly at the main tomb chamber.

There were no more traps or mechanisms after that, since the tomb raiders who were able to navigate the Netherworld Ferry to get here were all top-notch individuals.

What follows is something that is impossible to defend against; there are only a handful of such people in an entire era.

Such people might not even be interested in the burial goods in the tomb of Prince Yuanping.

People like Chu Danqing are definitely a minority.

The so-called main burial chamber is actually a huge underground palace.

In the center was the coffin, surrounded by a large number of skeletons dressed as servants, kneeling in worship.

In addition, there were a large number of skeletons resembling armored warriors holding weapons surrounding the area.

As a prince, Yuanping Wang was entitled to use live people for burial.

"This layout is indeed ingenious." After looking around, Guo Ming noticed something interesting: the yin energy formed by the convergence of yin and yang at the Netherworld Ferry had not affected this place.

He told Chu Danqing about the situation, which surprised and delighted Chu Danqing.

This is a good thing, otherwise he would be in big trouble if he really encountered a strong enemy.

Clearly, the people who built the tomb had already considered this matter, so they made preparations in advance to avoid making Yuanping King a cursed creature.

"But Brother Chu, don't be too happy yet. Even if this is weak, it's probably still stronger than the previous tomb guardian beast, at least an A-level." Guo Ming's expression relaxed considerably.

None of us are battle maniacs, so naturally we don't think about challenging powerful enemies or breaking through the terror of life and death.

They are all in a normal psychological state.

"Same as always, let the vengeful infants open the coffin and check the situation." As Chu Danqing spoke, ten vengeful infants crawled out of the shadows.

The main reason is that the central coffin is larger, which is why more are needed.

"Wait a minute, Brother Chu, don't you feel like something's not quite right?" Guo Ming interrupted first.

Chu Danqing observed carefully for a while. Originally, there was nothing wrong with it, but after Guo Ming said that, he didn't feel anything either.

His attributes are much lower than Guo Ming's, and his perception attribute doesn't have any additional bonus, so it's obvious that something's fishy.

"Something's not right?" Chu Danqing didn't sense anything, but he believed in Guo Ming's abilities.

"I can't quite put my finger on it right now, but I just feel like the flow of this yin energy is off," Guo Ming said.

Chu Danqing had no choice but to listen to this.

Guo Ming was at least able to realize that he was completely clueless and could not possibly offer any effective advice.

Therefore, the best solution is to throw the problem back to Guo Ming.

"Then how do we solve this?" Chu Danqing asked.

Guo Ming thought for a moment and then said, "Easy, I'll have Su Nu shoot this coffin."

"Forget it, the Ziwei Jade Seal I want is most likely a burial item. If you just smash the quest item to pieces with one shot, I'll lose out big time," Chu Danqing complained.

Hearing this, Guo Ming smiled sheepishly, realizing he had been so focused on efficiency that he had forgotten his true intentions.

"Let's proceed according to my plan." As soon as Chu Danqing finished speaking, the Ghostly Infant had already passed through layers of human remains and reached the coffin, and began to open it.

Guo Ming, on the other hand, continued to observe, trying to find out what was wrong as soon as possible.

He lacks knowledge of feng shui and can only rely on his own system of related knowledge for observation, which limits his efficiency and makes it difficult to discern any clues at the moment.

However, even if Chu Danqing's feng shui knowledge were given to Guo Ming, it wouldn't be of much use.

How could mere superficial knowledge challenge the craftsmen who built the tomb of Prince Yuanping? Their knowledge of feng shui must have far surpassed that of Chu Danqing.
