Chapter 56 - The Successive Deaths of the Nine Ghosts, the Union of the Sacred Lands

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Reincarnation Ghost Lord could not keep calm.

Asura Ghost Region, as the descendant of the underground alien race, needed to remove the array and open the formation that spanned the entire eastern region.

As long as the array was opened, the powerful remnant race army that had been underground for tens of thousands of years would rush to the surface.

Three of the main foundations of the Qilian Mountain, the ghost region, and the Floating Snow Sect were already under their control.

As long as they occupied the Hidden Edge Sect, the entire eastern region would be theirs.

They had never expected that the Hidden Edge Sect would have an Emperor!

However, the Asura Ghost Region had overestimated the strength of the Hidden Edge Sect, regarding them as an old enemy.

It was impossible for them to have predicted such a thing.

Therefore, the entire Asura Ghost Region was in very low spirits. Moreover, as the Hidden Edge Sect’s sworn enemy, they were even more terrified.

The nine ghosts of the universe was a strategy that the higher-ups of the ghost region came up with to resist.

The nine ghosts of the universe absorbed the evil energy, blood qi, murderous aura, and so on from the Mortal World to strengthen their own bodies.

Although the newly born nine ghosts of the universe were very weak, they were basically indestructible.

As long as they caused a big enough disaster and absorbed more evil auras, they were strong enough to become a powerful reliance of the Asura Ghost Region.

In the end, the ghost region had just refined the nine ghosts of the universe. Not long after they were released, one of them died.

How could he not be furious?!

“Reporting to the Ghost Lord, we don’t know the exact situation, but Dark Witch Ghost Lord has personally gone to investigate.”

“Dark Witch has already gone out? That’s right, I hope he can find out the reason. We have to think of a way to make up for the remaining nine ghosts of the universe.”

Before the first wave had subsided, another wave rose.

“Reporting to the Ghost Lord, we have just received news that Qilian Mountain has been attacked by an unknown force. The situation is critical!”

“Someone has already sent a message to the central region headquarters, but the central region is too large and too far away. The Ghost Lord has ordered us to immediately send reinforcements!”

Ghost Lord!

As the person in charge of the entire Asura Ghost Region, he was powerful and dignified.

This was an order personally given by an underworld lord, and the situation was already very grave.

Reincarnation Ghost Lord immediately set off and gave instructions as he walked.

“I’ll bring people to assist immediately. Remember to keep in contact with Dark Witch Ghost Lord and pay close attention to the news of the nine ghosts of the universe.”

What he did not know was that not only was one of the nine ghosts of the universe dead, the second one was also about to die.

He Xiuxing looked at the monster that had two eyes, six ears, and four long teeth in front of him. He raised his axe again.

This was the third time he had attacked this six-eared monster.

Boom!

The ground shook and the entire mountain shook. The monster was split into two halves.

There was a squirming black vapour coming off its body. The clouds of black vapour intertwined as if it wanted to sew its body together again.

He Xiuxing watched silently.

Every time he looked at it, he understood some operational laws of the black vapour.

“As long as I isolate him from the Heavenly Mortal World, he won’t be able to quickly obtain spiritual energy.”

“If that’s the case, he will only be able to use up his original reserves, and he will not be able to recover. It will also be rare and precious.”

He Xiuxing analyzed.

If there were other people from the Hidden Edge Sect standing here, they would definitely be extremely shocked.

Spiritual energy was everywhere and circulated naturally.

To isolate the intersection of spiritual energy of both heaven and earth and create a vacuum of spiritual energy, this was something that could only be achieved when one broke through a realm.

In their minds, He Xiuxing, who was an ordinary mortal, could easily achieve something that even a realm-breaking cultivator could not.

Ever since He Xiuxing discovered the first nine ghosts of the universe, this matter had been on his mind.

This monster gave him a bad premonition.

He was a person who did as he was told, so he immediately started searching according to the strange connection on the monster’s body.

Soon, he found a cultivator with a high cultivation base.

That person wore a mask on his face, and his entire body was exuding a dense aura.

Looking at the mask, He Xiuxing thought of the degree-realm powerhouse that his master had once killed on Misty Cloud Peak with one sword strike.

Thus, he concealed his aura, hugged the little yellow dog in his arms, and followed along.

Sure enough, it did not take long for him to discover the second strange monster.

After splitting open the six-eared monster once again and exhausting his original reserves, He Xiuxing followed the ghost-masked man once again.

Just like that, after killing two more ghosts, he discovered that the ghost-masked man had found a place to rest.

He Xiuxing memorized the ghost-masked creature’s aura and found the nearest village. He found a family and bought a few small dishes with copper coins.

If the Dark Witch Ghost Lord knew that he had been followed all this time, he would have known that just confirming a ghost’s safety would cause the ghost to die immediately.

When he was resting in the wild, the people following him even went to buy food. He wondered how he would feel.

…

The Vast Sea Divine Sect.

A woman was standing quietly at the highest point of the island by the sea.

She was wearing light yellow plain-collared garments and a layer of embroidered woollen cloth.

Her shiny black hair was pulled up a little.

The aura on her body changed all the time. Sometimes it was fierce and intimidating.

Sometimes it was gentle and calm, making people feel close to her.

In front of her stood a strange and huge bird.

Its wings were long and narrow. When it spread its wings, it did not flutter, but the strange fluctuations made the huge bird stay still in the air.

“So, the Thunder Fire Temple, Wen Xin Dao, and even the Acacia Pavilion sent people to contact us?”

The object of the woman’s inquiry was the strange bird floating in front of her.

“Yes, hierarch! This time, the Hidden Edge Sect is too overbearing!”

“You think so too?”

“Of course, if a force like the Heavenly Dao Academy can’t claim to be a sacred land, it’s still acceptable. Why can’t we, forces that have had Emperors, claim to be a sacred land?”

“Other than the sects you mentioned before, have the rest contacted you? Most importantly, what about Heavenly Star City?”

“Leader, there’s no news from Heavenly Star City yet. However, when Wen Xin Dao revealed it, they’re very dissatisfied.”

“That’s good. I’m just afraid that they won’t care about this matter.”

Heavenly Star City was different from the forces left behind by ordinary Emperors.

The Heavenly Star Emperor was the most powerful existence in the entire history of the Heavenly Mortal World.

This great Empress had founded the Heavenly Star Divine Dynasty and was invincible throughout the world.

However, the other Emperors were also invincible when they were still alive.

And yet, the Heavenly Star Emperor was the only one who had established such a huge force.

“Reply to them. Our Vast Sea Divine Sect is also involved in this matter.”

“Yes! Patriarch!”

“Prepare the sacrifices. This time, we might have to use our true strength. After all, our opponent is also an Emperor.”

The woman paused for a moment. “Although we can’t fight against the Hidden Edge Sect without the existence of an Emperor, we also can’t change our name.”

This was a deliberate misinterpretation of Ye Changge’s meaning.

The existence of a saint was his goal. Without the existence of a saint, how could it be called a sacred land.

Even the Hidden Edge Sect did not want to be called a sacred land.

How could these forces that relied on the legacy pool be so shameless.

The remnants of Maple City, Prajna Thunderclap Temple, and other sects spontaneously joined forces.

More sacred places in the central region began to cooperate with these sects, voluntarily becoming pawns.
