Chapter 648 Restraint
Immediately, Jiang Chen discovered something was wrong.
Diji's description is not accurate.
The ghost energy of the Netherworld can indeed plunder life, but it does not possess intelligence.
Its only way of attacking is instinctive, relying on killing to increase its own strength, let alone plundering life.
"Princess Di, did you remember it wrongly?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Have you forgotten what the ghost energy of the underworld is?" Di Ji asked back.
Jiang Chen was speechless. The special nature of the ghost energy of the Netherworld made it intelligent.
It will use this special vitality to enhance its own strength, but it does not have the ability to plunder vitality.
"You don't know?"
Seeing his expression, Di Ji said suspiciously.
"Not sure." Jiang Chen said bitterly.
"Oh well."
Since Jiang Chen knew nothing, Di Ji did not elaborate and took him deeper into the cave.
The further he walked inside, the more solemn Jiang Chen's expression became.
Because he smelled a rotten stench that stung his nose, made his stomach churn and made him want to vomit.
He endured the discomfort and continued to move forward.
Soon, Jiang Chen stopped and his pupils contracted violently.
The sight was horrifying.
In the dark cave, there were floating white bones, both male and female, scattered around, like a grave.
In addition, there are coffins.
These coffins were arranged in a circle and densely packed in the cave, numbering as many as five hundred.
Each coffin is covered with yellow talismans, exuding a strange atmosphere.
"The emperors of the Emperor Abyss actually buried the founders of the Netherworld Ghost Qi. It is indeed a relic left over from the ancient times."
Jiang Chen was filled with emotion. This move was not only huge , but also extremely insidious.
However, thinking of Di Yuan's existence, it seems understandable.
After all, the ghost energy of the Netherworld was left over from the ancient times. If Emperor Yuan did not have special secret methods, he would have been destroyed long ago .
"No wonder I didn't see Emperor Yuan in the Nether Palace. It turns out that they distributed the Nether Ghost Qi in Emperor Yuan to protect the Nether Spring."
Jiang Chen suddenly understood what was going on, and at the same time he felt that Di Yuan's approach was brilliant.
The Netherworld Spring is related to whether the Xianwu Academy can survive the disaster, so Emperor Yuan dare not search for it in a high-profile manner.
Otherwise, if other forces in the Imperial State knew about it, they would definitely fight for the Netherworld Spring.
"Be careful, the ghost energy of Emperor Yuan is more intense than before." Princess Di warned.
Jiang Chen nodded. The strength of the Netherworld's ghost energy was beyond his expectations. He had to be careful.
Di Ji held his hand tightly, and Jiang Chen could feel her trembling.
"Relax." Jiang Chen comforted.
"Um."
Diji took a few deep breaths and tried hard to control her mind.
The two people slowly went to the end of the cave, and at the very innermost part, lay a skeleton.
The skeleton was covered with a white robe.
The white robe was torn to pieces, but one could vaguely see a lotus embroidered on it.
"This is the founder of Emperor Yuan's Netherworld Ghost Qi."
The princess was surprised and said, "It is said that his name is the Lotus Saint."
The Lotus Saint was very famous in ancient times.
His Netherworld Ghost Energy is a top-notch martial art from the ancient times.
The Lotus Saint relied on this skill to travel across the world and dominate the world.
"It is said that before he broke through to the Supreme Realm, he pushed this technique to its peak and created a new technique, the Lotus Seal."
"After his death, the ghost energy of the underworld spread throughout the Emperor's Abyss."
The princess spoke slowly and told everything she knew.
Jiang Chen listened carefully and memorized seriously.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
The lotus mark created by the Lotus Saint contains infinite mysteries and encompasses everything.
Jiang Chen’s current strength is far from the level to comprehend the Lotus Mark.
"You have a high talent. I believe it won't take long for you to comprehend the Lotus Mark." Princess Di said.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
"let's go."
The princess looked to the other side.
Jiang Chen followed his gaze and saw many patterns carved on the rock wall over there.
These patterns interweave to form a formation.
Di Ji walked into the formation first, and Jiang Chen followed.
Buzz~
As he stepped into the formation, the formation began to operate and emitted a brilliant light.
"What's wrong?"
Princess Di noticed Jiang Chen's abnormality and said in surprise.
"I feel like my lifespan is decreasing rapidly." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
Princess Di was startled and hurried to check Jiang Chen's body. She was relieved when she found that he was not seriously injured.
"Don't worry, this is Emperor Yuan's protective formation."
"We will have to pass through the formation to reach the Netherworld Spring. If your lifespan runs out, the formation will be activated , and we will all be in danger."
"There is more than one formation here. We need to go somewhere else."
"So what should we do now?"
Emperor Ji's words made Jiang Chen feel troubled.
"Stay with me and I will protect you."
The princess said.
"Thanks."
Although Jiang Chen felt uncomfortable with this, he still agreed.
"When did you come to Diyuan for training?"
he asked suddenly.
Di Ji told him that she left her hometown ten years ago and came to Diyuan for training.
"During the past ten years, I have stayed in the Nether Palace for a period of time and am very familiar with it."
Princess Di said, "It is fate that I came to Diyuan for training this time. I just happened to encounter the test of the Nether Palace."
Jiang Chen nodded. The princess was very familiar with the Nether Palace. This way, he could save a lot of trouble.
Boom!
As he was speaking, there was a deafening noise from under his feet.
The princess looked down and found that the entire mountain was shaking violently.
"Something's coming out."
Her pretty face changed slightly, and she hurriedly urged Jiang Chen to enter the cave.
Jiang Chen followed closely behind, his eyes fixed ahead.
Soon after they entered, the giant beast appeared.
This giant beast looked like a cow, but it had three heads, wings on its back, and was surrounded by black mist.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a pitch-black stone on its forehead.
"A ghost spirit, it's a ghost spirit!"
The princess recognized the origin of the giant beast and was pleasantly surprised.
The spirit of the underworld is transformed from the ghost energy of the underworld. It is not afraid of sunlight, moves swiftly, is good at sneak attacks, and is hard to defend against.
“Don’t be impulsive.”
Jiang Chen stopped him in time.
He could see that this Netherworld spirit was somewhat extraordinary and powerful. If he acted rashly, he would probably suffer losses .
"The weakness of the ghost is the soul."
Diji said: "Your mental attack can hurt its soul."
"You come and try it." Jiang Chen said.
"Um."
The princess nodded, stretched out her right hand, put her index finger and thumb together, and pressed them on her forehead.
Immediately, she closed her eyes.
Swish!
Jiang Chen's spiritual power surged out from her brows, transformed into a sharp blade, and rushed straight towards the spirit of the underworld.
Bang!
The soul of the Netherworld Spirit is as hard as steel, and can be chopped by a sharp blade without any effect.
On the contrary, it was the princess who had blood oozing from the corners of her mouth and her face was pale. It was obvious that her soul was under a great burden.
"You should leave now."
