God of Pets

Chapter 445 Ghost

"You haven't answered my question yet," Chen Guan said, frowning. He was already getting impatient.

Teng, remembering his current predicament, slumped to the ground and said dejectedly, "Since we're all doomed anyway, it's better for you to die knowing the truth."

With a sigh, Teng Cai said, "This is the Nether Sea, a place only the dead can pass through. If a living person is discovered here by the Netherworld and the Underworld, they will surely be killed."

"You and Ming are the legendary spirits of the underworld, right?" Chen Guan asked.

"It's similar, but not quite the same. You wouldn't understand even if I explained," Teng said resentfully. "Originally, we could fake our death in the coffin using the Turtle Breathing Technique, so that You and Ming wouldn't be able to sense our life force and would think we were dead. Once we reached the next secret realm, there wouldn't be any problems."

"We haven't even arrived at our destination yet, and you've already woken me up. Our presence as living beings will inevitably attract You and Ming. We're doomed now." Teng became increasingly angry as he spoke, wishing he could kill Chen Guan right then and there.

But she had just exchanged blows with Chen Guan and knew that the person in front of her was extremely powerful. Even she was probably no match for him, otherwise she would have already made a move.

"You mean, we can travel to other secret realms through this sea?" Chen Guan asked in surprise.

Although he had long heard of the theory that all the secret realms were on one continent, no one had ever proven this theory. Some of the events involving traveling between different secret realms seemed to be just rumors, and no one had ever truly verified them.

Teng said irritably, "Of course you can. Different secret realms are just different islands in the Nether Sea."

What Teng said next shocked Chen Guan.

According to Teng, all the blessed lands and secret realms are just islands on the Nether Sea, or different continents.

The Netherworld Sea is the foundation of the entire blessed land and the source of the Yellow Springs River.

It is only because all the blessed lands and secret realms are separated by the Netherworld Sea that they cannot communicate with each other.

As Teng said, the Netherworld Sea is the sea of ​​the dead. Apart from special spirits like You and Ming, it is difficult for living people and other spirits to survive on the Netherworld Sea.

Once the ghosts and the underworld sense any life force, they will attack without end.

The reason why the Spirit King's ship was able to sail at sea was because of the coffins created by the Eight Kings and the Turtle Breathing Technique cultivated by Teng and the others.

Because the Spirit King's ship has the Spirit King as its spiritual consciousness, it can automatically navigate the Netherworld Sea without human control.

Teng and the others only need to use the Turtle Breathing Technique to enter a state of suspended animation, and they can safely cross the Nether Sea.

Upon reaching the next blessed land, the Spirit King's ship will naturally awaken them.

But they are still at sea, and Teng has been forcibly awakened by Chen Guan. Soon, You and Ming will be able to smell the scent of living people, and none of them will survive.

On the Nether Sea, the Nether and the Underworld are practically invincible.

Now that the coffin is destroyed, the Turtle Breathing Technique alone is not enough to deceive You and Ming, so they are doomed.

"They're here..." Chen Guan wanted to ask something more, but Teng looked at the hatch in horror.

Chen Guan looked over and saw a dark blue figure that seemed to be able to pass through walls, silently entering through the door.

Chen Guan saw that the blue figure was like a ghost, its body was transparent, it looked like a human, but it seemed that he could not touch anything.

"This must be a You, right?" This was the first time Chen Guan had ever seen a You, a mysterious spirit.

According to legend, the spirits of the ghost and the demon are somewhat different. The demon spirits, such as the thousand-year-old demon emperor, actually have physical bodies and even blood.

So-called wandering ghosts are also mysterious spirits with physical forms.

The You is different; it seems to be a pure spiritual entity, like a ghost in legends, untouchable by matter, and no one can harm it. Some pure Yang secret techniques and methods can restrain ghost-type spirits, but they are useless against You, and cannot be touched either.

The only thing that can contend with You is actually the power of the spirit.

The ghost can possess a living person and devour their consciousness. Only those with sufficiently strong mental power can retain their own consciousness while being possessed by the ghost.

Of course, this is in a one-on-one situation.

Now Chen Guan saw ghostly figures silently entering from different parts of the ship's cabin, floating in the air, and rushing towards them, drawn by their scent.

"You've ruined me! I'll curse you to be born with a son without an anus..." Teng said, as he raised his hand to slap his own skull.

She would rather commit suicide than be possessed by many ghosts and become a living dead wandering in the Netherworld.

"Don't rush to die, I have a way." Chen Guan reached out and grabbed Teng's wrist, preventing her from striking him.

"What can you do? No matter how powerful your secret techniques are, they're useless against You. Let me go. It's better to die than to become a walking corpse," Teng said urgently as more and more You entered the cabin and rushed towards them.

Chen Guan released her hand and summoned the round stool he had obtained from the imperial tomb.

As soon as the round stool appeared, it radiated golden light, causing the nearby You to be engulfed in blue flames.

One by one, the ghosts quickly retreated, not daring to approach the round stool again.

"What kind of secret treasure is this?" Teng was both surprised and delighted. The ghosts that had been injured by the round stool were either dead or had fled. No ghost dared to come any closer.

"It's just a stool, nothing special." Chen Guan sat down on the round stool.

This thing is the stool that the Netherworld Emperor once sat on; how could a mere Netherworld being not afraid of it?

He sat on the round stool, so whether it was You or the even more terrifying Ming, they couldn't do anything to him; it was also the safest course of action.

"Tell me, what secret realm did the Eighth King send you to on the Spirit King Ship, and what were you going there for?" Chen Guan asked, looking at Teng.

Teng looked at Chen Guan with a complicated expression. This man's origins were unknown, yet he could come and go freely on the Nether Sea, and he could intimidate those Netherworld creatures with just a stool. She really couldn't figure out what kind of person he was.

“The Spirit King’s ship has limited sailing capabilities. Currently, we can only go to the nearest Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm. The Eighth King sent us to the Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm to preside over another gambling game.” Teng didn’t dare to hide anything and told him the truth.

"Isn't the Eighth King supposed to be unable to leave the Eighth King's Palace? How come he still made a bet in the Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm?" Chen Guan frowned.

"His Majesty is indeed unable to go in person, so he can only send us to oversee the gambling. It's been converted into a branch hall, and I'll be temporarily in charge of that branch hall..."

After listening, Chen Guan immediately felt bored.

Whatever the reason why the Eighth King wanted to set up a gambling game in the secret realm of Fengdu Mountain, it has nothing to do with him.

Fu Tianji was still waiting for him on the shore, so Chen Guan decided to go back first.

"I'm leaving now. Are you coming back with me, or staying here to continue the voyage?" Chen Guan asked Teng.

In reality, Teng had no choice but to say quickly, "You can't leave. What will I do if you leave? I can no longer fake my death. You and Ming won't let me go."

"Then come with me." Chen Guan said, picking up a stool, pushing open the cabin door and walking out.

Teng gritted his teeth and followed Chen Guan out. But when they got to the deck, Chen Guan frowned. In just a short while, he could no longer see the coastline and couldn't tell which direction he had come from.
