Chapter 848 The Godless Path
Having made a decision, Zhou Yiqiao acted resolutely.
After handing the jade box containing dragon scales and green leaves to Qijian and asking it to be handed over to He Yunxi on his behalf, Zhou Yiqiao immediately left Wangu Mountain.
As soon as he left, an elder from the sect's realm of refining the void came to visit him in person. After learning that Zhou Yiqiao had left Wangu Mountain, he beat his chest and felt regretful.
......
Because he left Wangu Mountain in a hurry, Zhou Yiqiao hadn't made any specific plans yet.
In addition to the realm of the Netherworld Demon Sect, the remaining two major demon sects are still at war with the barbarian monks. The situation is tense, and it is naturally impossible for Zhou Yiqiao to run over stupidly.
Coupled with the accumulation of new and old hatreds between Mo Tuo Mountain and himself, Zhou Yiqiao felt that it was not appropriate to stay alone in the Nether Demon Realm.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly thought of the blood evil senior who had been sleeping in the blood-drinking millstone for a long time, and decided to go to the ghost realm of death.
Although it can be seen from the information obtained from many sources that the sect Yama Hall where Senior Blood Fiend is located has most likely disappeared in the long river of time.
But after all, it was not something he had seen with his own eyes. Zhou Yiqiao felt that he should go to the Deadly Ghost Realm and confirm for himself whether the Hall of Hell still existed, so that he could fully understand the wishes of Senior Xue Sha and fulfill his agreement with him.
At the same time, evil ghosts are everywhere in the Deadly Ghost Realm, which is an excellent place for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to advance.
After he was promoted to God Transformation, he would inevitably consume a large amount of evil souls to refine souls of the same level to increase his strength.
These firewood cores from the Deadly Ghost Realm are undoubtedly the best fuel for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
After making up his mind, Zhou Yiqiao used the red flame liquid gold, which turned into a red escaping light and quickly swept towards the direction of the dead ghost realm.
Because of the extremely special environment of the Deadly Ghost Realm, except for the Huangquan Temple, which is connected to the Yin-Yang Sect and has a direct teleportation method to the Yin-Yang Sect, there is no second teleportation array in the entire Netherworld Demon Realm that can reach the Deadly Ghost Realm.
It is naturally impossible for him to go to the area of Huangquan Temple, so he can only rely on flying weapons to get there. If he is lucky, he can reach it in a month.
While flying, Zhou Yiqiao planned what to do after arriving in the Deadly Ghost Realm. It was uneventful at first, but he was fine. Occasionally he encountered some low-level monsters wandering around, but he killed them all casually.
After more than twenty days, Zhou Yiqiao arrived at the edge of the Deadly Ghost Realm and finally understood the "special" situation recorded in the classics.
I saw a wide crack of several hundred feet between the Nether Demon Realm and the Dead Ghost Realm.
From the direction of the Deadly Ghost Realm, endless black mist flows into this crack like a waterfall.
The ghostly energy lingers in the cracks, as if it can swallow up all life.
Zhou Yiqiao stood on the edge of the crack. Even with his concentration, he couldn't help but feel the chilly wind blowing behind him.
To be cautious, Zhou Yiqiao caught a little demon in the foundation-building realm and threw it into the crack.
As soon as the little demon entered the range of the crack, he immediately let out a shrill scream, and the breath in his body flew away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, the little demon turned into a white skeleton, completely lifeless.
Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
"The Deathly Silent Ghost Realm is really weird and unpredictable. It seems I need to be more careful."
Secretly vigilant in his heart, Zhou Yiqiao applied a defensive shield to his whole body, stepped out in the air, and prepared to step into the dead ghost realm.
As soon as his left foot landed in the sky above the fissure, the black mist within it immediately seemed to be activated.
The mist swirled around, like a poisonous snake seeing its prey, rising quickly from the bottom of the crack, spreading rapidly upward along Zhou Yiqiao's ankles.
Fortunately, Zhou Yiqiao was already on guard, and with a shock of spiritual power, he dispersed the incoming black mist.
He did not dare to stay any longer, and stepped into the crack with his right foot. His body turned into a ray of light and went straight into the interior of the Deadly Ghost Realm.
Because he didn't know the specific situation inside the Deadly Ghost Realm, Zhou Yiqiao did not fly into the depths of the Ghost Realm rashly, but chose a place relatively close to the edge to land.
The entire Deadly Ghost Realm is a gray scene. The sky is gray, the earth is gray, and even the floating mist is gray.
There is no life here, no fluctuation of spiritual energy, not even a breath of wind.
It was so quiet that it was heart-stopping, as if time had stopped here.
After Zhou Yiqiao fell, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings.
What is shocking is that this world has no restraint on the soul, and even vaguely increased his detection range.
After the spiritual consciousness was released, dozens of wandering ghosts were quickly discovered within the field of vision.
These lonely wild ghosts are of low strength and are all imps in the Qi refining stage. They wander aimlessly in the dead ghost realm, making creepy screams from time to time.
Zhou Yiqiao did not attack these brats. The number of evil souls that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner can absorb is limited. He could not waste the capacity of the Thousand Soul Banner for these brats in the Qi Refining Realm.
He continued deep into the Deadly Ghost Realm, and after walking for several more days, he finally saw a human presence.
This is a dilapidated Taoist temple on a hill. The gate of the Taoist temple is dilapidated and crumbling in the wind. On the plaque hanging above, the three characters "Impermanence Temple" can be vaguely recognized.
Zhou Yiqiao landed in front of the Taoist temple and felt a cold wind blowing from the Taoist temple, which made people shudder.
When he entered the Taoist temple, he saw that the incense in the Taoist temple had been cut off for a long time, and the statues enshrined in the Taoist temple were also dilapidated. It was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
However, what surprised Zhou Yiqiao was that there was a faint fluctuation of magic power in the Taoist temple.
His mind moved, and he released his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore the Taoist temple.
Soon, he discovered a hidden basement in the apse of the Taoist temple.
Zhou Yiqiao walked to the back hall and pushed open a wooden door in the back hall with a gentle push.
The basement was dark and damp, with only a dim oil lamp giving off a faint light.
Under the oil lamp, there sat a haggard and pale Taoist. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The Taoist was only in the realm of foundation building, so Zhou Yiqiao deliberately restrained his aura and did not alarm the other party at all.
He sensed it briefly and found that although the Taoist's breath was weak, he was still alive. He was obviously just stuck in some strange state of cultivation.
Zhou Yiqiao was outside the door, patiently waiting for the other party to finish practicing.
After about an hour of burning incense, the Taoist suddenly let out a low groan and slowly opened his eyes.
There was no sparkle in his eyes, as if they had lost focus, leaving only blankness and emptiness.
Zhou Yiqiao knew that this was caused by excessive consumption of his soul.
The Taoist in front of him has been immersed in his own world for too long and is about to lose himself completely.
