Chapter 243: Descending into the Netherworld, Qilin Shows Its Power
"Little hungry ghost?"
Hearing the suggestion from the Cave Spirit, Feng Qingan's expression suddenly became subtle, and the way he looked at the nine-headed snake in front of him also became different.
"You were targeting me from the beginning. No, you were targeting Donghuang."
The concept of the six realms of reincarnation was proposed by powerful people in ancient times, and it has been continuously improved to this day.
In other words, the spirit of the cave heaven had already known the concept of the six realms of reincarnation. The moment he saw Donghuang, this guy might have had an idea about it, and now he took the opportunity to bring it up.
"Master, if this cave is restored, it will be of great help to you, see!"
The expression of the cave spirit became more and more flattering, and the moment it finished speaking, a divine ring made up of demonic characters appeared on Feng Qingan's wrist.
The next moment, streams of light emerged from everywhere and merged into the magic ring in Feng Qing'an's hand. In an instant, Feng Qing'an felt that his control over this cave was also increasing.
The sixth and seventh floors of the cave heaven, which were unknown to the Xiao family, were also completely under Feng Qing'an's control at this moment, and were all drawn over by the spirit of the cave heaven.
"If you build the Little Hungry Ghost Road, all the benefits will be in your hands. Xiao Jiu just hopes that this cave can be restored to its original state as soon as possible and return to its peak. This is a win-win situation for both sides. Please don't blame me, Master."
“…”
Feng Qing'an glanced at the magic ring in his hand without saying a word, but the expression on his face became more subtle.
This guy didn't even need him to urge him, and took the initiative to hand over more power over the control of the cave to him. The reason was obvious. It was nothing more than the reaction of the Buddhist master who had just rescued the Tianlong monk when he saw him.
This guy has indeed learned well from the human race in terms of observing people's words and expressions and currying favor with the powerful. But on the other hand, as he has transformed, his carrying capacity has also been further improved. Even if this guy does not take the initiative, Feng Qingan will demand more control.
"What does it take to establish a small hungry ghost realm?"
When Feng Qing'an raised his head, he asked the spirit of the cave directly.
If the requirements are too harsh, he will simply ignore them. As I said before, as long as this cave paradise does not fall into his hands one day and there is a possibility of it being usurped, he will not devote his efforts to it, no matter how beautiful the pie in the sky is.
"Just throw in some of the ghosts you despise."
There was a tone of flattery in the spirit of the cave.
The first layer of the cave heaven, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, can be regarded as the animal realm. The second layer, the Prison of Ten Thousand Monsters, can be regarded as the hell realm. As for the third layer, where the Xiao clan, a thousand-year-old family, lives and multiplies, it can barely be regarded as the human realm.
What needs to be built now are the Asura Path, the Evil Ghost Path, and the Heavenly Path. They do not need to be built completely according to the description of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Just refer to the six-path circulation system to reduce the loss of the cave heaven.
Restoring the cave is not a one-day job. All we have to do is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. To increase revenue, we can only slowly work on this master, while to reduce expenditure, we can rely on the cycle system of the six reincarnations.
"Only ghosts from the underworld?"
Hearing this request, Feng Qing'an's expression suddenly relaxed, and even became a little casual, because for him, or for Donghuang, this request was extremely simple to satisfy.
In the underworld, there is no shortage of ghosts that have lost their minds due to being eroded by evil spirits and violent energies. Under the command of ordinary ghost kings, such ghosts would be treated as food or as suicide squads.
However, in the Youhuang Ghost Kingdom, these mad ghosts are often executed on the spot. Donghuang does not allow ghosts to eat each other, nor will it incorporate such ghosts into the army. In the Youhuang Ghost Kingdom, such ghosts are redundant.
Although in recent years, because the Lord of Youhuang Kingdom brought in a group of eminent monks from the human world, many ghosts with confused consciousness have been awakened and have the opportunity to become ghosts again.
However, as the cultivation level of the Lord of Youhuang stepped into a new realm, the ghost kingdom under her rule began to expand in all directions. The ghost kingdoms fought against each other, and the number of irrational ghosts also increased rapidly with the intensity of the war.
The number is growing so rapidly that even if more than a dozen monks work day and night without sleep, they still cannot purify them all. Because this is a rule set by the king himself, the increasing number of crazy ghosts has become a huge problem for the Youhuang Ghost Kingdom.
Feng Qing'an had also heard Donghuang say this casually. When he heard the needs of the spirit of the cave heaven, his heart moved and his mind became active. If he could stuff the batch of crazy ghosts that were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with in the Youhuang Ghost Kingdom into the cave heaven, it would be a win-win situation.
"Yes, sir, you just need to go to the netherworld and catch some ghosts. The more the better."
Looking at Feng Qing'an's expression, the spirit of the cave knew that the master agreed and was willing to do this. He made further requests and pressed the issue.
"No special requirements for ghosts?"
"No, as long as it's a ghost."
The spirit of the cave said hurriedly that it didn't dare to make any extra requests at this time, and it was a blessing that the master could agree to it.
"A ghost that has lost its mind is also okay?"
"Sure, we're not picky, we just ask for quantity."
Asking for ghosts and spirits from this great master is nothing more than wanting to transform them into fertilizers that can repair the cave through the six reincarnation cycles. It makes no difference whether they have intelligence or not.
"Um."
Feng Qingan nodded, understanding what was going on.
"Donghuang, are you there?"
The young man acted decisively and Feng Qingan did not hesitate and directly contacted the Lord of Youhuang through the soul contract.
"Well, I brought all those little guys you raised here."
A cold voice sounded in my heart, but it revealed a sense of intimacy.
"I'm not asking about that. I trust you to do the job."
Not long ago, when he lured the Tianlong monk Yinghai into the cave, he naturally noticed those immortals and monks who wanted to attack Heishan and the others, so he informed Donghuang.
It was normal that Heishan, Baiyao and Senmiao were safe and sound. Through the soul contract, he also knew that these little guys seemed to be living quite comfortably and in good condition.
"It's something else. My cave spirit wants a group of ghosts from the netherworld. It wants them in any state. It only asks for numbers. The more the better."
Feng Qingan quickly and concisely informed Donghuang of the needs of the spirit of the cave.
"Asking for ghosts?"
Dong Huang narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his delicate features that seemed to be carved out of ten thousand years of black ice, and there seemed to be a hint of warmth.
"There are now seven million crazy ghosts in my ghost kingdom. Do you want all of them?"
"Seven million, do you want it?"
Feng Qing'an looked at the spirit of the cave again.
"What?"
"Ghosts."
"Yes, I want them all."
The expression of the spirit of the cave suddenly became excited. It did not expect the surprise to come so suddenly. It was just a small test for it, but it did not expect to get such a big reward.
"Is there room here?"
A look of doubt appeared on Feng Qing'an's face.
He knew exactly how big this cave was. Except for the first and second layers, which were a thousand miles in radius, the third layer was only five hundred miles in radius, and the fourth layer was further reduced.
The upper four layers of the cave heaven will undoubtedly not be the target of evolving into the small hungry ghost realm, but the area of the lower three cities of the cave heaven is too small. Among the ghosts in the underworld, those who are more than ten feet tall are everywhere, and there are even terrifying giant ghosts that are more than a hundred feet tall.
If these seven million ghosts were all crammed into one layer, it would be like stacking monks, filling up one layer so completely that there wouldn't even be room for movement. By then, an extremely horrific situation would inevitably occur where the ghosts would cannibalize each other.
In an extremely narrow and harsh environment, using a method similar to raising Gu, more than ten crazy ghosts that can rival the Ghost King were created.
This kind of monster, which was born from the cannibalism of ghosts, is something that all ghosts in the underworld feel disgusted and afraid of, because this kind of monster has no reason at all and its appearance is extremely ugly.
"Master, just send it. If it becomes too much, I will find a way."
The spirit of the cave looked quite mysterious. The young man looked up expressionlessly at the big guy who was obviously floating away.
"You want to keep me in suspense?"
"No, sir, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to give you a surprise. Aren't you planning to turn the Demon Locking Tower and the Demon Subduing Hall into a sword-raising pond? I can lend you a hand. These ghosts can just be turned into materials for sacrifice."
The spirit of the cave hurriedly explained that he had no intention of being disloyal.
"You listened very carefully."
"You can't blame me for this. You didn't hide it when you discussed it with the king!"
The spirit of the cave felt quite aggrieved.
"Okay, just wait here. Now let me figure out how to get to the Netherworld."
Feng Qing'an now finds that he must pay attention to this more realistic issue.
He now has no special way to go directly to the underworld. If he goes out of the cave, he will naturally appear from the same place he came in.
But now he is not fit to appear in the world again, at least not in public. No matter what those Taoist masters and Buddhist monks think of him, it is better not to see him.
Ding~
A deep and long bell sounded, and when Feng Qing'an was worried, a red phoenix tore through the void, opening up a road that seemed to be burning with flames, leading directly to the underworld where he wanted to go at this moment.
clang clang!
The sound of a phoenix was heard, and behind the red phoenix, a black-feathered phoenix with deep pupils flapped its wings and flew towards them.
Immortal Dark Phoenix, Youyou!
"Wow, Feng Qing'an, this is your cave... I finally see it..."
The little fellow who seemed to be very familiar with others and even took the initiative to make an appointment with Feng Qingan, left a dark arc of fire in the air, and landed on the boy's shoulder without any hesitation, and then showed a look of disgust.
“It’s so small!”
"This is originally a ruined cave. How big do you think it is? But what you see now is only one layer. It is normal for it to be smaller."
Feng Qing'an looked at the red road that was extending to his feet and was burning with flames. After responding casually, he took the initiative to step on it. Just as he expected, the seemingly raging flames did not hurt him at all. Instead, a warmth rose from under his feet and spread throughout his body.
"Are there other places? Can I go and see?"
After hearing Feng Qingan's response, Youyou became interested. The cave in front of her was not the same as the one described in her inherited memory. Apart from other things, the area was much smaller.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. After I meet Dong Huang and Nan Ge first, I will take you around."
At the end of the avenue filled with blazing flames, as expected, there was a woman who seemed to have come from the ancient mythological era, across time and space. Her whole body was crystal clear, and she was glowing with immortal divine light. Just by standing in the air, she had an aura that dominated everything and made all living beings prostrate themselves in fear.
"Donghuang, here I come."
When the Lord of Youhuang saw the young man, a faint smile appeared on his lips. In an instant, the underworld became dim and lost all its brilliance, leaving only her shining in it.
"Do you really want to stay in the Netherworld and practice with me?"
Although the young man had already walked in front of her, Donghuang still asked this question. During these days, she had read all the Taoist scriptures and knew how to modify the inheritance she mastered.
But even so, she was still a little cautious about guiding the practice of a reincarnated immortal king. If possible, she didn't want to take on the responsibility of a guide.
"I don't care about cultivation. If you have time, you can teach me a few tricks."
Feng Qing'an, who had already controlled the body of the Long Bo giant and crushed Yinghai, said calmly that up to now, he was not too obsessed with cultivating immortals. He also knew that this matter was a matter of fate, and if the opportunity did not come, it would be useless to force it.
"First read through the Taoist scriptures that my father selected for me, and then talk about cultivation!"
Seeing Feng Qingan who had made up his mind, Donghuang smiled.
There is no shortcut in spiritual practice, or rather, the shortcut is right before your eyes. That is to lay the most solid foundation at the beginning of the practice, so that you can achieve something.
Herod
Just as Feng Qing'an descended into the Netherworld and was communicating with the Lord of Youhuang, a familiar humming sound came , followed by a burst of green energy containing infinite vitality.
Senmiao!
Necromancer
Feng Qing'an immediately sensed the source of power of the party that broke out in the conflict. After using the secret technique to obtain the first-person perspective, he saw a headless ghost that had been trampled beyond recognition.
The green gas that can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh and blood wrapped around the neck of the headless giant ghost, tearing at its body like a maggot attached to its bones, suppressing its regenerative ability, and causing it to emit a shrill howl in its chest.
There were more than one such ghosts . Around Sen Miao, there were several ghosts with their vital parts trampled and crushed. This seemed to be the result of the explosion of green energy just now.
"You just came here, and I'll make you laugh."
Dong Huang knew what had happened in one thought, and also knew what kind of magical powers Feng Qing'an had, which made her look unhappy.
