"Okay, I'll go right away." Hu Yang nodded repeatedly and replied through a message.
"Try to be as hidden as possible." Xiao Zhi reminded him through the Yuanlong clone.
"I know." Hu Yang replied via voice transmission, and his body floated to the ground, passed through the corridor and passed through the courtyard, and soon disappeared from the sight of Yuan Long's clone.
Xiao Zhi began to wait.
Perched atop the dome of the hall, he raised his huge dragon head and turned it to scan the surroundings.
As far as I can see, nothing here has changed.
But this is normal. After all, he had just left not long ago. If he calculated everything, it would only last for half a day.
Xiao Zhi didn't have to wait too long before Hu Yang appeared in his field of vision again.
Hu Yang quickly came to the Yuanlong clone and sent a message to the Yuanlong clone: "Brother Zhi, Master Kui is going to talk to you personally. He will come to see you later."
"Okay." Xiao Zhi controlled the Yuanlong clone with his mind and clicked its huge dragon head.
Xiao Zhi thought controlled the Yuanlong clone and silently swam towards an empty palace not far away.
The captured sergeants and monks had already been escorted out of the city, so the Golden City Fortress seemed empty.
The same is true for the complex of palace buildings in the core area of Jincheng that represents the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
After the Yuanlong clone swam into the empty palace, he continued to wait quietly.
After about a stick of incense had passed, a dark wind blew into the somewhat dim palace, the air was slightly distorted, and the figure of Venerable Kui emerged out of thin air.
Not only Master Kui, but Yang Xu also came with him.
A life-like aura of substance filled the air in this empty palace.
With a creaking sound, the half-open door of the palace was closed by a gust of wind, startling Hu Yang who was standing in front of the palace door and was about to listen to the corner.
"You stay outside and don't let anyone get close to here." A cold voice suddenly sounded in Hu Yang's ears.
This is the voice of Venerable Kui.
"Okay, okay..." Hu Yang nodded hurriedly.
As the palace door was closed, the palace became even darker.
Venerable Kui is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense. He looked at Yuanlong's clone and said straight to the point with his cold voice: "Fellow Taoist Xiao, what are you going to do with the Infinite Ghost Realm in the water?"
Yang Xu, who was standing beside Lord Kui, was also staring at Xiao Zhi's Yuanlong clone.
Faced with Venerable Kui's straightforward temperament, Xiao Zhi didn't waste any words and said directly: "I want to use your Infinite Ghost Realm, Fellow Daoist Kui, to sharpen my will and prepare for the soul-killing."
"Slaying the soul?" Venerable Kui showed a puzzled expression on his face and said, "What is the killing of the soul?"
Obviously, Venerable Kui, who is only a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, knows nothing about soul slaying.
Xiao Zhi explained patiently: "If you want to become a god, you need to take four steps in total. Raising your strength to the peak level of Nascent Soul is the first step. Understanding a law to the third level of Dacheng level is the second step.
, the third step is to cut off the soul. Only by cutting off all connections between the soul and this world can we transcend the reincarnation of this world, jump out of the three realms, and not be in the five elements."
"That's it." Venerable Kui nodded.
Yang Xu, who was standing beside Venerable Kui, also had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Xiao Zhi continued: "We monks need strong souls and tenacious wills to be able to successfully kill souls. My current willpower is not strong enough and I need to continue to sharpen it. So, I thought of yours, Fellow Daoist Kui."
The Infinite Ghost Realm may be a place where you can sharpen your willpower and prepare for the Soul Killing."
"It's best not to touch the water in my Infinite Ghost Realm." Venerable Kui was silent for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "But it's no problem to arrange it in the water. You just need to separate the water with a layer of restrictions. I can do it for you.
Arrange this endless ghost realm, and then Yang Xu will be responsible for maintaining it."
"Okay! Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Kui!" Xiao Zhi said happily.
"No need." Venerable Kui said in a cold voice, "I hope to see the day when you become a god!"
"Yes! I will definitely become a god!" Xiao Zhi said confidently.
In the dark palace, the two discussed for a while, and then, the door of the palace opened with a creak. Venerable Kui took his disciple Yang Xu, turned into a gust of wind, and left here silently.
Soon, a dark wind quietly drifted away from the Golden City Fortress and flew north.
Xiao Zhi, who was in a hidden state, was floating high in the sky, his eyes glowing with golden light, welcoming the arrival of Lord Kui and the others.
Not long after, a smile appeared on Xiao Zhi's face.
Venerable Kui has arrived.
Just a few breaths later, Xiao Zhi reunited with Venerable Kui and Yang Xu.
Not long after, at the bottom of the sea, in a deep trench, a layer of restriction like a transparent film existed here, covering an area of less than ten feet in radius, isolating the water of the sea from the restriction.
Within the confinement, Venerable Kui was arranging the Infinite Ghost Realm, while Xiao Zhi and Yang Xu stood aside and watched.
Xiao Zhi was purely curious, while Yang Xu was studying with a serious expression on his face.
Outside the restrictions, the demon Li Kuo is setting up the second level of restrictions, then the third level, and the fourth level.
At this time, a deep-sea monster was attracted by the faint light emitted by the restriction and swam towards this side.
This was a big shark-like fish, more than twenty feet long, and it looked extremely ferocious. But before it could get close, its body was eroded by a piece of cold air that appeared out of thin air. It died instantly and was frozen into pieces.
Made an ice sculpture.
As for the seawater around it, only a small part has condensed with frost, and no large areas have frozen.
Xiao Zhi saw this scene from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but nod secretly.
Demon Demon Li Kuo has improved his control over ice and snow, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
Soon, the demon shark, which had been frozen into an ice sculpture, was stored in the storage ring by the demon Li Kuo.
For Xiao Zhi and others, this matter is not even a minor incident.
The arrangement of the Infinite Ghost Realm was quite complicated. It took a full quarter of an hour before Venerable Kui finally arranged the Infinite Ghost Realm at the bottom of the sea.
Suddenly, a deep and strange darkness emerged. Even if you don't come into contact with it, just looking at this darkness makes people feel depressed.
"Yang Xu, you stay here and are responsible for maintaining the Infinite Ghost Realm." Venerable Kui looked at his disciple Yang Xu and gave instructions.
"Yes, Master." Yang Xu nodded, stepped into the darkness, and then sat down cross-legged in the deepest part of the darkness.
Venerable Kui looked at Xiao Zhi again and said: "Friend Taoist Xiao, we cannot communicate through the sound transmission jade talisman in deep water. If there is any problem in my Infernal Ghost Realm and Yang Xu can't solve it, you can use your
That Yuanlong clone contacted me."
"Okay." Xiao Zhi nodded.
"Let's go!" Venerable Kui said no more and swam directly towards the sea.
He had to go back as soon as possible to avoid anyone being suspicious of his whereabouts, and then implicating Xiao Zhi who was practicing at the bottom of the sea.
Today, there are a large number of people on Qiongzhu Island, but in the opinion of Venerable Kui, except for Venerable Li Yuan and other Nascent Soul monks from the Yuxu lineage, the rest cannot be trusted, and they may all be from the Taixu lineage.
Even the eyes and ears of Xuanming Kingdom.
"Fellow Daoist Kui, thank you very much." Xiao Zhi watched Venerable Kui leave and sent another message to express his thanks.
"No need." Venerable Kui replied in a cold voice.
The water was dark and the visibility was much lower than in the air. Venerable Kui's figure quickly disappeared from Xiao Zhi's sight.
During the whole process, Xiao Zhi did not ask Venerable Kui about the interrogation of the prisoners of Xuanming Kingdom, nor did Venerable Kui take the initiative to mention it. Obviously, Xiao Zhizhi was right. When Venerable Kui interrogated these prisoners, he did not
Nothing gained.
After sending Master Kui away, Xiao Zhi turned around and looked at the strange and deep darkness beside him.
Ordinary darkness can be easily dispelled by a monk just by using his true energy on his eyes.
But the darkness in front of him is not enough. Xiao Zhi needs to use the perfection level [Dazzling King Kong] magical power to see clearly its reality.
This strange and deep darkness is the endless ghost realm arranged by Venerable Kui for him.
Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and took a step forward. His figure penetrated several layers of restrictions one after another and appeared in this strange and deep darkness.
Suddenly, an indescribable uncomfortable feeling surged into Xiao Zhi's heart!
At the same time, Xiao Zhi's body glowed with bright golden light!
This is a strange phenomenon that occurs when the defense mechanism of the Innate Spiritual Treasure-level Xuan Cang Armor is triggered.
This golden light is particularly eye-catching in this dark and dim underwater world.
With a thought in his mind, Xiao Zhi quickly communicated with Xuan Cangjia's weapon spirit, and the golden light immediately subsided.
As the golden light converged, the discomfort and pain ten times greater than before suddenly hit Xiao Zhi's brain like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, causing Xiao Zhi's expression to change and he couldn't help but groan.
This is a kind of pain that acts directly on the soul, is strong and clear, and is unbearable.
Several breaths passed before Xiao Zhi slowly got used to the pain.
He took a deep breath and dispersed the body-protecting true energy covering his whole body. For a moment, the painful feeling that directly acted on the soul was much stronger than before!
Several breaths passed like this before Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and walked step by step towards the deepest part of the Infinite Ghost Realm.
In the deepest part of the Infernal Ghost Realm, Yang Xu sits cross-legged.
Yang Xu, who was sitting cross-legged, raised his head slightly and stared at Xiao Zhi.
As Xiao Zhi walked forward, he looked at him and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Brother Zhi, you seem to be in pain." Yang Xu said in a muffled voice: "What kind of pain is this? I am a dead soul, and I cannot feel the pain you feel at all.
arrive."
"I can't feel this kind of pain either." A voice sounded behind Xiao Zhi. It was the voice of the demon Li Kuo.
As a demon, he, like Yang Xu, is a person who has died once. They are not living souls, but dead souls.
Xiao Zhi forced another smile and said in a somewhat labored tone: "Actually, it's not bad. I just haven't had time to adapt. Once I adapt, I can barely accept this level of pain.
"
When he said this, he had already walked up to Yang Xu, and then sat down cross-legged next to Yang Xu.
After sitting down, he closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and silently felt the heart-wrenching pain that came in waves.
Time passed by, Xiao Zhi's brows were always furrowed, and his body would tremble slightly or twitch from time to time.
Venerable Kui did not brag. The pain that a living soul endures in this endless ghost realm is indeed much more painful than that of refining a soul.
Every minute and every second is a kind of torture for Xiao Zhi now.
If Xiao Zhi hadn't already undergone willpower training for a period of time, he might not have been able to endure such pain at all.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Xiao Zhi was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, while Yang Xu was sitting opposite him, trying hard to maintain the normal operation of this endless ghost land.
The demon Li Kuo's figure passed through several layers of restrictions, floating like a ghost in the deep sea water.
During this period, another deep-sea monster was attracted by the faint light emitted by the restriction and swam towards this side.
The fate of this great deep sea monster is no different from that of the great shark monster just now. Before it could get close, it was instantly frozen into a popsicle by the demon demon Li Kuo, and then casually thrown into it by the demon demon Li Kuo.
The storage ring was 'destroyed'.
The demon Li Kuo thought for a while, and put a layer of concealment restrictions on top of several layers of restrictions. Now, finally, there is no longer the kind of blind sea monster sea fish, which is affected by the glimmer of light emitted by the restrictions.
Attracted.
Time passed by, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Xiao Zhi frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, how do you feel? Can you adapt to it? If you can't adapt, forget it. You have worked hard enough and are strong enough. There is no need to work so hard." The figure of the demon Li Kuo appeared in Xiao
Zhi stood beside him and spoke to persuade him.
Xiao Zhi shook his head gently and said softly: "I'm fine."
He quickly closed his eyes again and continued to fight against the pain.
Before I knew it, the day passed by.
Xiao Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly held his head with his hands and let out a painful groan.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The demon Li Kuo, who was wandering like a ghost outside the layers of restrictions, flashed and returned to Xiao Zhi's side in an instant, asking worriedly.
Yang Xu, who was sitting opposite Xiao Zhi, showed a hint of concern on his pale face when he looked at Xiao Zhi.
After Xiao Zhi snorted, he slowly put down the hand holding his head, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said softly: "I'm fine, I'm just trying to visualize my [Dharma Appearance of the Mighty Heavenly King],
As a result, I didn’t pay enough attention during the visualization and accidentally failed.”
Hearing Xiao Zhi's explanation, the demon Li Kuo couldn't help but widen his eyes!
Just by staying in this endless ghost realm, the living soul needs to endure torture that is several times more painful than the soul refining.
As a result, under this terrible torture, his master was still trying to visualize the [Dharma of the Mighty Heavenly King]!
