"Yes, it is a river that runs through the entire underworld. It is said that it was already there when the underworld was first formed." The ghost woman said, "The Styx River is also called the Ghost Mother River. It nourishes the ghosts in the underworld and is equivalent to the underworld."
Heart. Without the Styx, the entire underworld would collapse..."
Ling Xuewei learned from the hag that the Styx River was equivalent to air in terms of the existence of the underworld.
As for Karmic Fire, it is a kind of flame derived from the Styx River. These fires fill the entire underworld. The closer to the Styx River, the higher the temperature and the greater the lethality of these flames.
This karmic fire is very harmful to ghosts, so many punishments are to throw the offending ghost into the River Styx. However, in the blink of an eye, the evil spirit and karmic fire inside can corrode the corpse and soul.
Moreover, there are many ghost beasts born in the River Styx. These creatures are also very scary, so the little ghosts in the underworld dare not get close to it at will.
Unless you have a high level of cultivation and can resist the evil spirit there, you can't stay there for a long time.
…
After that, Ling Xuewei asked some more questions and finally got a general understanding of the situation in the underworld.
She was almost certain that Ye Moyan was on the seventh floor.
The most important question now is how she will get to the seventh floor.
"So, you came to kill me because you received an order?"
"Yes, the ghost messenger next to the Ghost King sent the message, and there is nothing the villain can do, so..."
"Okay, I get it."
Ling Xuewei fell into deep thought, and the hag looked at Ling Xuewei carefully, "Sir, can the little one go back? I have said everything that needs to be said..."
"What's the hurry?" Ling Xuewei smiled half-heartedly, "I have a favor and I need your help."
"Sir, please tell me!" the ghost woman said quickly, "The definition of villain is unavoidable!"
"Oh?" Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows, "Really?"
It was obviously a dark face, but those dark and sharp eyes with a smile gradually gave the ghost woman a bad premonition.
At this moment, several will-o'-wisps suddenly flew outside the house.
The hag immediately became nervous, but soon she discovered that these will-o'-the-wisps were black.
"Fortunately, it's not a will-o'-the-wisp." The ghost woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the difference?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"Yes, some will-o'-the-wisps were inspired by the King of Ghosts to monitor the people below, but in fact most of the will-o'-the-wisps are ownerless things. The will-o'-the-wisps were transformed by the Styx, contain ghost power, and can be used for practice. But now, these will-o'-the-wisps have no influence on the people below.
For a villain, it doesn’t have much effect anymore…”
"Why?"
"My cultivation has stagnated three hundred years ago, because the will-o'-the-wisps on this level can no longer take me any further, unless I go to the lower level, where the will-o'-the-wisps have stronger ghost power... It's a pity that the competition there is
It’s also more cruel.”
"Do you want to go down?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"What can I do?" The ghost woman sighed, "But the villain finally managed to gain a foothold on the first floor. If he goes down, he will have to start all over again. Maybe if he doesn't pay attention, he will lose his life. It's better to just stay on the ground floor.
If we survive on the first floor peacefully, we will at least have a few hundred years to live..."
Normally, highly practiced ghosts like them have a lifespan of about 2,000 years. As long as there is no big trouble in the underworld, they will be safe and sound.
"The villain said before that he fell into the underworld because of manslaughter during his lifetime. In fact, it is true. The villain's husband is indeed a bastard. When the villain was pregnant with the child, he punched and kicked me, causing me to have a baby in my belly.
The child was miscarried, and I hated him. Later, I killed him with my own hands, not by mistake, but because I had planned it for a long time. Later, my affair was discovered, and I was hunted down by his tribe, and finally died tragically."
"Only one life was contaminated in the hands of the villain, but it made me fall into hell after death. I am not 'smart', so my talent is not high. It is not easy to achieve what I am today. But if there is a chance, let the villain If people can take a step further, no matter what the cost, the villain is willing to give it a try!"
Ling Xuewei was surprised, her eyes twinkling.
At this time, a will-o'-the-wisp floated in front of her. From a distance, the will-o'-the-wisp was black, but up close, there was a faint green glow inside.
"Sir, be careful, humans have touched this will-o'-the-wisp..."
The ghost woman's voice stopped suddenly, and an incredible expression appeared on her face!
"How come?"
I saw the will-o'-the-wisp staying in Ling Xuewei's palm, but Ling Xuewei's hand showed no sign of being burned!
"When a stranger touches a will-o'-the-wisp, he or she will be burned. In severe cases, it may even turn into ashes. How could you do that?"
Ling Xuewei's eyes moved slightly and her thoughts changed. A blue-gold flame appeared, entwined between her fingers, and then passed through the will-o'-the-wisp. Then she saw that the will-o'-the-wisp had become softer, as if all the evil spirits had been smoothed away.
The hag glanced at the blue flame. It was obviously just a small ball, but it gave her a kind of natural fear!
The hag couldn't help but step back, looking frightened.
"how?"
"Is this divine fire?"
"You do have a good sense."
In fact, Gu Po had also stayed in the sect during her lifetime, so she naturally had some experience.
She could feel that this divine fire was different from all the flames she had ever seen!
Flames have a natural restraint effect on ghosts. It is just an ordinary flame, but this thing in human hands is obviously not an ordinary thing!
At this time, the hag also discovered the changes in the will-o'-the-wisp...
Not only the hag, but Ling Xuewei also discovered it.
Could this... be the Pure Lotus Glass Fire?
Ling Xuewei called Xiaoli in her heart and quickly responded, "Master!"
"No, it should be the master yourself..." Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Xiaoli knows! This is the master's spiritual power!"
"My spiritual power?"
Soon, Ling Xuewei discovered that this was indeed her own spiritual power.
Her spiritual power can actually heal the evil spirit in the ghost spirit?
Ling Xuewei was surprised, and then she had a flash of inspiration and thought of the Chaos Art she practiced.
Ling Xuewei immediately closed her eyes, immersed herself in the group of inherited animals, and soon found the answer!
No wonder!
The Chaos Art can neutralize yin and yang and absorb all the "qi" in the world. Whether it is spiritual power, ghost energy, evil spirit, resentment... it can be transformed into "qi" that is beneficial to her through the Chaos Art. The "qi" absorbed.
After these years of practice, Chaos Art has long been integrated into her blood and spirit veins, and has become a habit for her, as simple as breathing. Therefore, after she came into contact with the ghost energy, the evil spirit in the ghost energy was easily resolved and transformed by her. It is harmless "qi".
It's considered unintentional.
This is good news.
"This is enlightenment! It is an ability that only the ghost king can have!" I saw the hag said excitedly, "Sir! Can you try to condense the ghost energy? Turn it into a ghost bead!"
