Souls were the most mysterious and fleeting type of energy.
It was said that after a person died, their soul could only stay in the mortal realm for twenty-four hours, and twenty-four hours later, they would be sucked into the cycle of reincarnation by the netherworldly forces.
Of course, there were always accidents.
Some souls would develop awareness and begin to understand the dao of ghostly cultivation under certain circumstances.Since the path of ghostly cultivation had begun, the Soul-reaping Envoy Ox-Head and Horse-Face had no choice but to forcefully hook him into the netherworld.The path of ghost cultivation was exceptionally difficult.
It was ten times, a hundred times more difficult than normal cultivation.
Generally speaking, when one cultivated the path of ghost, the chances of reaching the Golden Core realm were slim.
However, once one reached the Ghost King realm, one's divine ability would be heaven-defying.Legend has it that the Ghost King had a total of nine stages, and each stage would have a Heavenly Tribulation.
If one passed through it, they would be able to ascend to a higher level.
Otherwise, they would be reduced to ashes and their souls would scatter.
However, in history, there had never been a ninth tribulation Ghost King.
It was said that the ninth tribulation Ghost King was an existence that could fight against Heavenly Immortal Absolute.In the past, an eighth tribulation ghost king had appeared in the universe.
His strength had surpassed that of a master at the Greatjourney stage, but he was still weaker than an Immortal Human.
Thus, there was the saying that he was a half-immortal.
However, his actions were all due to his preferences, causing him to become enraged.
In the end, he died under the siege of many experts.That time, it was truly a calamity of the cultivation world.
Countless experts had died, and the various great sects had suffered injuries.
One could see how powerful the Ghost King Physique was.
However, the Ghost King's heavenly tribulation was extremely terrifying, so there were very few Ghost Kings after the fifth tribulation.It was said that those above the Ghost King realm were the Yin Gods.
They were stronger than the average immortals, and it was not impossible for them to surpass Heavenly Immortal Luo to reach Daluo Luojinxian.
The Ten Yama Kings of the Yin World were all at the Yin God Realm, and the leader of the Ten Yama Kings, Qin Guangwang, was at least as strong as Daluo Luojinxian.
Otherwise, the Yin World would not be as simple as the Immortal Plane.No one knew if there were any higher levels in the realm of the Yin God.
However, this didn't mean that it wouldn't happen in the future.
This world had never lacked miracles.There was a huge palace located on Mount Beixiao of Heaven's Origin.
It was a traditional Chinese-styled palace that could only be described as magnificent and grand.
The entire palace was pitch-black, with stone pillars and black floors.
Even the walls were ink-black.
It was a type of ink-black that made one's soul tremble.On Mount Beiming, in the Ancient Earth Throne of the Heavenly Seal Palace, Ghost King Songling was currently in a state of rage.
His subordinates were standing on either side of the hall in a fluster, fearing that they would encounter an unexpected disaster.The Ghost King Songling looked to be in his sixties or seventies, and his entire body was wrapped in a nameless black robe.
His entire body exuded a cold aura.
No matter how much you looked closely at his face, you couldn't see his face clearly, and it felt extremely blurry."Say, what's going on here?
I can't even find a single Yin Yin Physique for three whole years!
What use do I have for you?!
Ah!" A loud shout reverberated in the hall, shaking the crowd, causing the air to stagnate.Wangping was Ghost King Songling's confidant, so he naturally knew what Songling was thinking.
Thus, he stepped out and said respectfully, "My King, please calm down.
Your subordinates are truly helpless.
It is rare to have a Yin element physique for a hundred years, but gathering nine physiques at once is a little difficult..." Ghost King Songling's face darkened when he heard this.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Wangping quickly say, "However, I will definitely do my best to find nine Yin element physiques for you!".Wangping was Ghost King Songling's confidant, so he naturally knew what Songling was thinking.
Thus, he stepped out and said respectfully, "My King, please calm down.
Your subordinates are truly helpless.
It's hard to gather nine Yin Primal Physiques in a hundred years, but it's hard to gather all nine of them at once!" Ghost King Songling's face immediately darkened when he heard this.
Just as he was about to explode, he heard Wangping quickly say, "However, I will definitely do my best to find nine Yin Primordial Physiques for you!"After all, Ghost King Songling was an experienced old man who had lived for a thousand years.
He said, "I'll definitely have a fourth tribulation in fifty years.
Without the assistance of the Yin elemental physique, I won't be able to reach the first level of assurance.
With the Yin elemental physique, I'll have at least fifty percent.
However, I can't push them too far.
Otherwise, how can I use them as I please?""Very well!
I'll give you fifty years, and you'll have nine points in fifty years.
I won't be stingy with your rewards." "As you command!" The ghost soldiers responded in unison.
He waved his hand dismissively.Wangping was a general when he was alive, and he was four years old and five times thick.
Even though he had become a ghost, he was still as rough as before.
Wangping asked, "May I ask why my King summoned you?"Ghost King Songling furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, "Recently, the forbidden region of Mount Beiming has been emitting a strange aura.
It's very strange!"Wangping didn't know what the Ghost King meant.
He raised his head and asked, "Has His Majesty discovered anything?"Ghost King Songling shook his head and said, "It is said that I have investigated this forbidden area before, so there is nothing strange about it.
But today, there are some abnormalities that you should follow me to take a look..."As soon as he finished speaking, black mist surged out of his body and rushed out of the hall.
Wangping stared blankly for a moment before hurrying after him.Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The two dark cultivators hurriedly rushed into an unknown cave somewhere in Mount Beiming.
Black ripples spread out from the cave entrance.
It was clear that there were formidable seals protecting the cave entrance.The cave was extremely deep and extended all the way to the center of the mountain.
The tunnel was incomparably dark and there wasn't a single source of light.
Moreover, it was extremely quiet.
There were only a few bat-like cries from time to time.There was a large space at the end of the tunnel, about the size of a basketball court.
The entire space was in a hemispherical shape, and the surrounding stone walls were brown in color.
It was very ordinary, just an ordinary mountain.
There was nothing in the space except for a turbid pillar as thick as two people hugging each other.In the past, this cave looked simple, but now..."What's this?" Wangping asked as he followed Ghost King Songling into the cave.
Looking at the bronze pillar that was wrapped in white mist, he sensed the terrifying aura coming from it, and his expression flickered.Ghost King Songling's unchanging face shook slightly, "This aura is several times stronger than three days ago.
It's strange."Wangping looked at the white mist and then looked at Song Ling.
He said, "Does Wang have a way to deal with it?
If this aura completely erupts, the entire Beiming Mountain will be in trouble."Ghost King Songling's entire body was emitting a cold aura, and his face was tumbling with black mist.
Wangping looked at his master who had been loyal for five hundred years, unsure of what he was thinking.Wangping was right.
According to his current aura, if he lost control of the bronze pillar, his 1000-year-old foundation would be over.
Even he himself might be affected, but there wouldn't be a place for him in this Heavenly Origin Star.
Thinking of this, Ghost King Hao said, "Wangping, what do you think will be inside this bronze pillar?"Wangping pondered for a moment, then said, "This subordinate doesn't dare to guess.
My King, isn't this forbidden land something Li Daiwang said?
Don't you know?" Wangping looked at Songling in surprise.Ghost King Songling's face darkened, but he didn't make a sound.
He continued to ponder in his heart.
According to the legends of Beiming Mountain Lord, this bronze pillar had existed since ancient times.
After the first Ghost Lord had established the Heavenly Luo Palace in Beiming Mountain, he had occasionally explored this strange place.
At that time, the Ghost King didn't pay much attention to it.

When he wanted to destroy the bronze pillar and enter seclusion again, he found that it couldn't be within three feet of the bronze pillar no matter what.One had to know that the first Ghost King had already overcome his fifth tribulation.
His strength was no weaker than a cultivator in the Body Blend Realm, and he could only summon the wind and rain in an instant.
However, he had used all his methods, but he had not made any progress at all.Although there was nothing he could do with this bronze pillar and he didn't know what it was, he still had the eyesight of the first Ghost King, but he knew that it was a real treasure.In order to prevent others from knowing, there was a saying about the forbidden area.It wasn't that there hadn't been any ghost kings since the first generation, but all of them had been reduced to ashes.
When the ghost king Songling had managed to overcome his third tribulation by a stroke of luck, he had once thought of obtaining the bronze pillar.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.Just as Ghost King Qi Siliang was about to make his move, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, and it grew even more intense as boulders continued to rain down on them.
Both Songling and Wangping were shocked.
Wangping dodged the boulders as he said, "My King, I'm afraid this cave is going to collapse.
The commotion this time is too loud."Before he could finish speaking, blood spurted out of his mouth.
His body retreated like a kite with broken string.
With a loud bang, he crashed into the stone wall, not knowing if he was dead or alive.
After all, Ghost King Songling's cultivation was extremely high.
In an instant, he had sensed the abnormality on the bronze pillar.
The thick fog of ghostly mist enveloped his body.Although he had the heart to save Wangping, he couldn't care less about himself right now.As Songling resisted the wave of energy from the bronze pillar, he frantically retreated.
His heart was filled with fear and horror.
Just what kind of divine object was this?
Just the aura he emanated was already too much for him to handle.
Even when facing a heavenly tribulation, he didn't feel this way..It wasn't until he stepped out of the cave that Songling finally stopped himself.
Although this place was still affected, he could barely resist it.At the same time, the entire Beiming Mountain was shaking slightly.
Birds had the most agile spiritual senses, and when they sensed danger, they immediately scattered and fled.
It was a good idea not to be chaotic.
As for the creatures with intelligence, whether they were ghost cultivators, beast cultivators, or human cultivators, they were all lying on the ground in panic and unease.
They were usually vicious and merciless, and they were even pleading with the gods above three feet of protection.Ghost King Songling sighed in his heart as he stared at Mount Beiming.
It's over.
The entire Beiming Mountain is finished.
Why do you think the Ghost Lord Songling said this?
It turns out that Beiming Mountain couldn't find a single living creature.
It was all silently sucked away by the energy wave emitted by the bronze pillar.
Moreover, the scene of death was very peaceful.
Some even smiled and left.All of a sudden, an even more powerful and unstoppable aura erupted from the cave.
It swept out with the heart of the cave, exuding a destructive aura."What the hell is this?" Ghost King Songling's originally pale face turned even paler.
He coughed out a mouthful of golden blood.
His injuries were clearly not light, and his armor had become dim.
His body stopped in midair, and he stared fixedly at the nameless cave, which emitted a strange aura, as if he wanted to see through the entire cave.Suddenly, a golden halo spread out with the mountain as the center, and a quiet aura filled the entire Beiming Mountain.
The entire mountain was silently reduced to dust, and wherever the golden light touched, everything was annihilated.Ghost King Songling had wanted to see which divine object possessed such incredible strength, but when he saw the golden light, his pupils didn't constrict.
Without his heart, he actually felt suffocated.
Without the slightest hesitation, he retreated as fast as he could.
Sensing the horror behind him, he didn't bother hiding his aura to avoid the heavenly lightning bolts.
He didn't even dare to turn around and run at full speed."Boom!" Thunderous roars came from the sky and followed by a terrifying heavenly aura.
The entire sky became horrifyingly dark.
The entire area of Mount Beiming became extremely frightening.
Lightning flashed as if it was the end of the world."This is bad.
Could it be that the lightning tribulation is about to descend upon us right now?" Ghost King Songling, who was fleeing for his life, could sense the heavenly lightning tribulation's aura.
He groaned inwardly in his heart.
It could be said that there were wolves and tigers in the past, but he couldn't survive this time."Huh?
What's going on?" The King of Ghosts, Songling, noticed that the golden halo hadn't arrived.
He couldn't sense the terrifying aura from the outside."Phew!" Ghost King Songling let out a long sigh of relief.
However, his face soon faded, and there were even heavenly lightning bolts.
Without nine Yin-Yin Yin physiques, he wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of being reduced to ashes.
Furthermore, he was still injured, so he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single bolt of heavenly lightning.
"Hmm?
How come there aren't any more heavenly lightning bolts?" Ghost King Songling probed his surroundings, but he didn't find any sign of the heavenly lightning bolts."Could it be that the heavenly lightning really knows how to hide and hide?" Ghost King Songling muttered to himself, but he became even more cautious.
He didn't want to be affected by the heavenly lightning.
However, no heavenly lightning descended from the heavens.
The Ghost King wondered if the heavenly lightning was comparable to the golden light.
Thinking of this, Ghost King Songling shook his head in disbelief.
How could this be possible?!At this moment, Ghost King Songling estimated that the terrifying aura had disappeared.
However, he was terrified.
How could he dare to step foot into Mount Beiming?
However, in the end, Beiming Mountain was his old nest.
If he didn't figure it out, he feared that there would be a shadow in his future cultivation.
After making sure that Jinguang had completely disappeared, the Ghost King Songling carefully flew towards Beiming Mountain.It was said that Ghost King Songling carefully flew towards Mount Beiming.
He was shocked to see what he saw along the way.
Although Mount Beiming didn't dare to speak of the mountains and mountains in the past, he had decided that it would be impossible for it to be as plain as it was now.
The forest and beasts in the past had all been reduced to ashes, which showed just how powerful they were.
At this moment, Ghost King Songling was still glad that he had escaped quickly.
Otherwise, even if he had the ability to escape, he would have been in vain.Standing in the great hall of the former Heavenly Luo Palace, Songling looked down at the flat ground below him.
He sighed and looked in the direction of the bronze pillar with a hint of fear.When they arrived at the bronze pillar, the mountain had long since disappeared.
Only the bronze pillar stood tall and upright, as if it had returned to its normal state.
However, this time, Ghost King Songling no longer dared to be careless.
He simply watched from afar, not approaching.
It could be said that he feared being bitten by a snake for ten years.The white mist on the bronze pillar had already disappeared, but the ancient aura on the bronze pillar was still there.
It stood towering, as if the center of this world was it.Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.
The bronze pillar exploded into pieces under the incredulous gaze of the Ghost Lord Songling.
Then, golden light erupted, causing the Ghost Lord Songling to squint his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a spatial door, and there were faint figures moving inside.This was Ghost King Songling's first thought.
But soon after, he denied it.
There was no such thing as a transmission array that could raze Beiming Mountain to the ground.
This might be possible with a fusion period, but it was impossible for a fusion period to possess such a terrifying aura..Ghost King Songling stared fixedly at the door, his entire body tense as he planned to run away.
Gradually, the people inside the door became clearer and clearer, revealing their identities.
