Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 131 Ghost King, Water God, Dragon King, and Crown Prince (Bonus Chapter for 1600 Monthly Tickets)

Looking at the three options that appeared in front of him, Su Mo pondered.

This Yin Soul Technique is clearly a wicked technique that harms both oneself and others. If I were to cultivate it, I certainly wouldn't be able to withstand the backlash from this wicked technique in this simulation.

The final outcome won't be good.

However, if one does not cultivate, this hard-won opportunity for immortality will disappear.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Mo made a decision.

It's just a simulation.

It's not reality.

Even if you mess up your practice, you can still start over.

With that in mind, Su Mo chose the first option.

……

At this moment, you think of Nangong Liuli. You believe that you must gain power to possibly save Nangong Liuli from her current predicament.

Although the predicament that Nangong Liuli is referring to is something you imagine, that's truly how you feel inside.

Otherwise, why doesn't she come looking for you?

With your powerful self-control, you begin cultivating your Yin Soul Technique in this mass grave.

As a large amount of yin energy enters your body, you feel your body begin to stiffen and ache, but the intensity has increased significantly.

Although you don't know what the future holds, you've continued your cultivation here.

For the rest of your days, aside from periodically going to nearby towns to buy necessities, you spent your time practicing your Yin Soul Technique in this mass grave.

[Occasionally, someone will carry a corpse over, and you will use the Ghost Lamp to absorb their lingering, vengeful spirit.]

The Ghost Lamp is also growing increasingly powerful.

And then, something you never expected happened.

[Because of your innate superhuman strength, by sheer accident, your powerful physique combined with the Yin Soul Technique not only produced no side effects, but your resilience became as formidable as a zombie's.]

Ordinary swords and blades can no longer harm you.

Seeing his simulated self become so powerful after cultivating the Yin Soul Technique, Su Mo was also deeply surprised.

Because of the martial arts world in the Song Dynasty.

To make one's body invulnerable, one needs to train it to be indestructible.

It can take anywhere from ten to several decades to succeed.

really.

Those who practice martial arts still can't compare to those who cultivate immortality.

……

However, the yin energy in the mass grave is limited. In just six months, it will no longer be enough for your cultivation.

So you began searching for a second mass grave.

The world in this immortal realm isn't much better; you quickly found a mass grave near the water.

[However, what you didn't expect was that there was a ghost king in this mass grave. You only glanced at him from afar, and you felt a chill run through your body.]

[I felt in my heart that if I forced myself to cultivate in this mass grave, I would surely be eaten by that Ghost King.]

So you prepared to leave.

But just as you were about to leave, a turning point appeared.

A group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals crawled out of the waters near the mass grave and began to taunt the Ghost King.

The Ghost King didn't tolerate them either, and soon the two sides clashed.

Through the information they provided, you learned the specific reasons.

[It turns out that this ghost king was once a bandit leader, but was dragged into the water to save his own life by a substitute. His resentment protected his true spirit, causing him to devour all the surrounding ghosts and eventually grow into a powerful ghost king.]

This nearby body of water is a branch of the Ji River and is called the Qingshui River.

There is a water god in this clear river.

[Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and the water god's indulgence in the water ghosts' harming people led to the ghost king's death, naturally resulting in conflict between the two.]

But the Ghost King was too wicked; he drove the Water God away, occupied the Water God's cave, and occasionally came ashore to devour some newly born souls.

【You're lucky today; it just so happens to be the day the Ghost King comes ashore to devour souls. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.】

After being driven away, the water god sought help from the Dragon King of the Ji River. As one of the four water gods, the Dragon King naturally wouldn't stand idly by while his subordinate was bullied, so he sent his prince with troops to punish him.

The two sides exchanged blows, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

[You watched, forgetting to leave, secretly hoping that both sides could fight to a standstill.]

However, the Dragon King's prince was truly skilled in martial arts, defeating the Ghost King repeatedly until he finally vanished in a wisp of black smoke.

After driving away the demon king, the Dragon King's prince led his shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and the water god into the Clear Water River.

[They're obviously going to celebrate.]

Shortly after they left, the Ghost King transformed into a wisp of black mist and reformed into a physical form.

He was badly injured; most of his body was torn apart, giving it a faint, translucent appearance.

[You are tempted by this sight. If you could add this Ghost King to your Soul Lamp, the quality of your Soul Lamp would be greatly improved.]

What do you choose now?

Option 1: Use the Ghost Lamp to devour the Ghost King, but risk being devoured by the Ghost King in return.

Option 2: Run away immediately and never come to this mass grave again.

Option 3: Approach the Ghost King and cooperate with him, claiming that you will help drive away the Dragon King's prince.

……

Looking at the three options that appeared before him, Su Mo began to consider them carefully.

First, the first item. Although the risks are huge, the rewards are also huge.

As for running away, he felt there was no need for it.

The Ghost King is so weak now, this is a rare opportunity. If we leave now, it will be a huge loss.

As for cooperating with this Ghost King, Su Mo ignored it without even thinking about it.

Trying to negotiate with a ghost is even more absurd than trying to negotiate with a tiger.

People say that ghosts are full of lies, and you absolutely cannot believe a single word they say!
Faced with the weakened Ghost King, you thought of Nangong Liuli.

If Nangong Liuli were in trouble now, and I had no way to help her, wouldn't I regret it for eternity?

Thinking of this, you didn't hesitate to recite the incantation, activating the Yin Soul Lamp to capture the Ghost King.

The Ghost Lamp trembled violently at this moment, as if its spirit understood the opponent's power and therefore hesitated to advance.

Seeing this, you recited the incantation again, and only then did the spirit reluctantly attack the Ghost King.

Seeing that there was another hidden threat, the Ghost King was greatly alarmed, and his ghostly form dissipated even further.

Only when the ghostly energy of the Yin Soul Lamp clung to the Ghost King did he realize how incredibly weak this person was.

He immediately approached you with a sinister grin.

In his eyes, you are a treasure; eating you will make up for all his losses.

Upon seeing this, you immediately used the secret technique recorded in the Yin Soul Technique.

He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the ghost lamp.

The ghostly lamp suddenly surged with ghostly energy, directly entering the ghost king's body and engaging in a fierce battle with the ghostly energy within him.

Still feeling uneasy, he spat out three mouthfuls of blood before stopping.

[The three mouthfuls of essence blood contained a massive amount of vital energy, causing the Yin Soul Lamp to burn brightly, and your body felt extremely weak.]

The ghost king was quickly shattered by the artifact spirit, and all the dissipated ghostly energy was absorbed by the Yin Soul Lamp.

When the Ghost King was absorbed by the Soul Lamp, a faint golden pattern appeared on the lamp's originally black surface, making it look like a multicolored black.

[You can sense that the power of the Soul Lamp has increased at least threefold.]

Even some highly accomplished cultivators would likely stumble upon this Yin Soul Lamp.

[Now that this mass grave is surrounded by aquatic creatures, you can no longer stay, so you continue searching for a new mass grave elsewhere.]

As you travel south through the Sichuan Basin, take the opportunity to inquire about directions to Mount Emei.

Unlike Earth and the Song Dynasty, this world is significantly larger. After inquiring, you learn that the place where Nangong Liuli placed you is thousands of miles away from Emei Mountain.

[Your obsession with Nangong Liuli deepens daily, your brain automatically idealizes her, and you subconsciously believe that Nangong Liuli knew the extreme danger and did this to avoid implicating you.]

This makes you even more anxious.

[They are eager to increase their strength.]

On this day, you passed a mountain peak on your way to Mount Emei.

This mountain is called Tianzhu Mountain. Its peaks are uniquely beautiful, streams flow like ribbons, and vegetation is lush and verdant.

[You heard while passing through the marketplace that treasures often appear in famous mountains and rivers, and those who are destined to obtain them achieve great things.]

You longed to experience it too, so you began your journey into Tianzhu Mountain.

As they ventured deeper, the sunlight overhead thinned, and the patches of light filtering through were only the size of copper coins.

Looking at the deep mountains, so different from their outward appearance, your steps become increasingly difficult.

This mountain seems deserted; there isn't even a path. If it weren't for your strong and resilient body, you would have already been scratched by the thorns under your feet.

[You traveled along the highest peak of these mountains, and because your own ghostly aura was so intense, even jackals and tigers dared not approach.]

After walking for three hours, from morning until dusk, you finally reached the highest peak of Tianzhu Mountain, Tianshi Peak.

[Only the summit of Tian Shi Peak was atop a wall of stacked stone and piled high with round logs.]

Upon entering, they found an abandoned temple inside.

Even with the setting sun shining down, the temple still felt eerily sinister; you had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

But since you were already there, you held the ghostly lamp and forced your way in.

The temple buildings were in disrepair over the years; the statues were broken, and even the head of the Buddha on the highest platform had fallen off.

Although you don't know what happened here, you still decide to stay overnight at the temple.

[Then you gathered firewood and built a campfire, bringing light and warmth to the otherwise gloomy hall.]

Just as you were about to go to sleep, you noticed that the Buddha statue in the center of the hall was swaying slightly.

With a crash, the Buddha statue was pushed upside down, and a humanoid zombie covered in green hair emerged from it.

The first thing they did upon emerging was to aim at the opening in the dome of the main hall and absorb the moonlight.

[Upon seeing this, you were startled. No wonder the temple was so eerie; it turned out there was a zombie lurking there.]

[At this moment, the zombie, having absorbed the moonlight for a while, also noticed you.]

Upon seeing a living person present, the zombie immediately bared its fangs and attacked you.

[But before you could even make a move, a delicate shout came from outside the temple.]

"You evil beast, don't hurt anyone!"

Immediately afterwards, a streak of icy blue sword light flew in from outside, slashing towards the green-haired zombie's neck!

You recognized the voice, and your heart swelled with joy.

"Fairy!"

"it's me!"

The owner of that voice is none other than Nangong Liuli!
