Chapter Nine, The Yin-Yang Realm

Fortunately, he did not go; otherwise, there is an eight or nine out of ten chance that the dead rat would be his

Chen Jiu slightly nodded, then pondered for a moment, and immediately beckoned the wolf demon to continue heading west

The Spirit Officials are indeed responsible for dealing with demons and monsters, but they are not omnipotent deities. When faced with ghosts and monsters that outnumber them by dozens or even hundreds, they too cannot withstand the onslaught

Demon General Level

Having said that, he staggered backward.

This ghastly head of hair resembles wild grass, the eyes are a vivid red, and the skin appears as if it has been soaked in water for several days, frighteningly pale. Additionally, the mouth is filled with sharp fangs, and the nostrils lack a bridge, creating a truly unsettling sight.

After much difficulty, night finally arrived. When the path to the underworld reappeared, he eagerly led his ghostly generals along the shattered road to the underworld and arrived at the giant pit.

In fact, this is not considered thrilling; it is at the City God Xu Gongfu that one truly experiences excitement

As night fell, they, exhausted from a day of toil, were preparing to lie down and rest, when countless ghosts from the underworld inexplicably appeared in the new domain

This ghost appears to be rather dim-witted

Chen Jiu pretended to shiver, slowly shook his head, and quietly aimed at the ghost's mouth and nose

Oh dear, is there still a dog? I haven't eaten dog meat in a long time

The once tumultuous giant pit suddenly fell silent, leaving everyone in a state of astonishment

In the woods by the Jiahe River, Chen Jiu, smelling the increasingly pungent odor of decay, couldn't help but frown and said: "Is this the aura of the underworld? Why is it so foul? Is the underworld not filled with the stench of decay?"

He wishes to reclaim this realm of yin and yang, to eliminate all ghosts and fragments of the Yellow Springs, and for that, he must gather at least several thousand troops from other places.

If they were in the underworld, these ghosts and monsters would avoid the deities of the netherworld as if they were a plague

Chen Jiuling was momentarily taken aback, and then asked: "Brother Wang, how are you? Are you possibly on your way?"

Chen Jiu expressed some confusion, saying: "Is this fierce ghost at the level of a ghost general? Its strength doesn't seem that impressive, didn't I swallow it in one bite?"

This ancient divine cauldron indeed understands a great deal, but it is just like a book placed on a table; it will not speak unless you turn its pages

Their stay in this forest was not primarily to wait for the ghosts of the underworld to come to their demise, but rather because there was a water source here, making it convenient for fishing. Additionally, they were all severely injured and needed to recuperate, which is why they remained here for half a day

You had better let me delve into your mind honestly, without resistance; otherwise, I will torment you to the point of unbearable pain before I enter!

This is the city god of the underworld

You hide in this tree and the * picture * book forest, where those ghosts cannot see you. Why did you come in

The Honghuang Divine Cauldron said without hesitation: "This is a vengeful spirit, filled with intense resentment and an even stronger desire for revenge. It must be trying to possess you to take revenge for something."

Chen Jiu pretended to retreat in fear and said, "You, you stay away."

It turns out that the broken path to the underworld is not the only one; above the giant pit, there are countless yellowish fragments, and the ghosts and monsters from the netherworld are surging out like a tide, nearly filling the giant pit.

Therefore, the best approach is to wait for the ghosts and monsters to fall into the trap themselves

It is unknown which vengeful spirit called out, but immediately the surrounding spirits were stirred into a frenzy.

At this moment, the underworld presents a different scene

The yin energy of the underworld is actually not as dense as it is here. The reason why the yin energy is so thick here is that the ghostly immortal Lu Boyan has absorbed an excessive amount of yin energy. The black mountains spread across this land can be said to be transformed from yin energy. Would you say there is a lot of yin energy here

With a swift motion, the malevolent spirit before him was drawn in as if it were a strand of noodles

The spirits of the underworld are certainly much swifter than the mortals of the earthly realm, and news travels quickly among them

Chen Jiu, suppressing his nausea, seized the opportunity and suddenly inhaled with great force using the technique of essence absorption

The murmurs of the Primordial Divine Cauldron: "Do you think that the ghosts and monsters that can escape from the underworld are weak? If they were weak, how could they possibly evade the pursuit of the underworld officials?"

Although this place is clearly still in the realm of the living, the pervasive chill of the yin energy seeps into one's very bones, and the ghostly wails that drift through the air are truly hair-raising

Chen Jiu looked around at the pitch-black forest, perked up his ears to listen carefully, and then couldn't help but ask: "It seems like there are many ghosts and monsters calling out all around, but why has not a single one entered the forest?"

With a loud "bang," fragments of stone flew everywhere, and the ground, covered in black stones, was actually smashed into a pit nearly half a zhang deep

The Six Realms of Rebirth, the Human Realm is merely one of them, while the spirits of the Animal Realm far outnumber those of the Human Realm by an unknown multiple

Do you want to run

Chen Jiu feigned a startled cry and directly lunged to the left side of the evil spirit.

Such an enhancement of strength is truly exhilarating

He originally thought about stopping by Black Mountain to take a look, perhaps he might stumble upon a few ghosts and capture some to absorb their energy

Well, there is nothing to fear just because one is strong

What an ugly ghost

You are the dog, and your whole family is made up of dogs

Moreover, they are densely packed, numbering in the thousands, while the city god Xu Gongfu only brought a few ghost generals with him

The deities of the underworld have often oppressed them in their daily lives

Well, the essence of Yin is of no use to the living; no matter how much there is, it holds no significance for him

Who knows, he waited all night, not only did he not bring back the Black and White Impermanence, but the array plate in his hand also inexplicably cracked.

At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry to escape; as long as the Primordial Divine Cauldron could regain some of its power, what was the Ghost King worth!

He seeks to absorb spirits

This feeling is so exhilarating

After pondering for a moment, the Honghuang Divine Cauldron suddenly realized and said: "Oh, I forgot to mention this to you. If the spirits and monsters are here to absorb Yin energy, they will definitely go to the Black Mountain, which is transformed by Yin energy. If they are here to possess mortals, they will surely head to the surrounding villages and towns"

He wishes to escape quickly, but the new domain is simply too vast, and there are too many monsters.

However, it is different in this realm where yin and yang intersect

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuwen could not help but be startled

The ancient divine cauldron murmured, "Do you think that only after a person dies do they become a ghost?

The surrounding spirits and monsters were momentarily taken aback upon seeing his enormous golden figure

This guy's strength should not be greater than his

Originally, the City God Xu believed that sending the Black and White Impermanence to capture the soul of Chen Jiu would be an easy task, after all, the strength of the Black and White Impermanence far surpassed that of the deity of Lingshan Village

Moreover, the underworld is not entirely under the jurisdiction of the Northern Yin Division; regions such as the Ghost Tribe, Ghost Warriors, Night Ghosts, Yakshas, and Rakshasas are not governed by the Northern Yin Division, and there are many spirits and monsters in those areas

Chen Jiu felt as if he had consumed a ginseng fruit, every part of his body was utterly comfortable, and his consciousness expanded almost doubled in an instant, akin to inflating a balloon

Then the fierce ghost immediately leaped forward, gripping his arms tightly and said in a stern voice: "I told you to behave, didn't you hear? You want to be taught a lesson, right? Look into my eyes, look into my eyes"

The Primordial Divine Cauldron said without hesitation: "This is a ferocious ghost, also known as an evil spirit, which feeds on all kinds of flesh and blood, sparing neither humans nor beasts. It devours whatever it catches, and the more it eats, the larger its size and the greater its strength."

Let me tell you, most of those who can run over from the underworld are at the level of ghost generals, and there are even ghost kings.

Countless ghosts and monsters in the underworld wish to possess mortals and fulfill their desires in the realm of the living. The vital energy and flesh of mortals are particularly coveted by numerous spirits, making the bustling tavern a prime target for their attacks.

Indeed, they had not run far when a ghostly figure suddenly appeared from the side and blocked their path, sternly saying: "Stop!"

In a moment, the new domain truly became a paradise for ghosts and monsters, with a significant presence of spirits in the realm of yin and yang.

This time, it has also stimulated them to an extreme degree

They searched for m.hetushu.com.com all day like headless flies in the new domain, but ended up with nothing; Chen Jiu had vanished without a trace.

The city god Xu Gong, accompanied by several ghost generals, fought while retreating, barely carving out a path for the ghosts as they fled westward

The colossal creature let out an excited roar and raised its hand to strike down with a club.

Then I will not be polite!

This is not the territory of the underworld; they do not need to worry about a sudden emergence of a large number of underworld soldiers.

It is good that there is nothing serious. As for the smell, there is no way around it; one will get used to it after smelling it more often.

The wolf demon shook its head without hesitation and said, "No need, I can still dog paddle."

Isn't that comparable to the strength of the Black and White Impermanence of the Jimo Underworld

Chen Jiu took off his sheepskin coat and asked, "Can you swim? If not, I can carry you across the river"

The Northern Yin Division's Eastern Ghost Emperor, after receiving the talismanic correspondence from City God Xu Gongfu, has instead remained unresponsive for an extended period

Fortunately, the deities of the underworld still possess some remarkable skills, and each city god has a few specialized magical tools to deal with ghosts and monsters

This fellow is likely over 2 meters tall, with a green face and sharp fangs, broad mouth and large eyes, a body full of excess flesh, and holding a massive bone club in his hand, clearly not a good sort

Old Ding, you should have a taste too, take it easy, just inhale half of what you did last time, don't rush, I will go find you some evil spirits to slowly savor.

It is too dangerous here; not long after nightfall, all sorts of ghosts and monsters appear everywhere. He should quickly leave this cursed place and first go to the immortal's cave to break through to the realm of the demon king. Otherwise, if he encounters a ghost king, it would be the end for him

The Wolf Demon King said without a moment's hesitation, "I am not seriously harmed, but this smell is too unbearable; it is making me feel nauseous."

The spirits that cling to the Black Mountain and consume the negative energy are different; they possess skills in their practices. Their frenzied consumption of negative energy is solely for the purpose of cultivation

Even the wolf demons, who are familiar with the paths in the mountains and fields, can get lost when they enter the new capital, let alone these officials who have spent their years enjoying the comforts of the city

The evil spirit let out a loud roar, raised the bone club, and struck.

The ancient divine cauldron said lightly: "Indeed, vengeful spirits are not remarkable, for their minds are filled with grievances, solely focused on revenge, and they are unable to learn any martial arts."

What exactly is going on

There is no way, as his subordinates are limited, and the tens of thousands of troops led by the fallen shadow commander Lu Boyan are precisely in charge of this vast area

Chen Jiu stopped in his tracks and took a closer look, feeling goosebumps all over his body

Chen Jiu looked at the pit on the ground, then glanced at the wide palm of the evil spirit, and immediately pretended to be terrified, saying, "Don't eat me, don't eat me!"

The news quickly spread, and the underworld was instantly in an uproar, with countless ghosts and monsters calling their friends to rush over here

Although the Wang family of Langya and the Yin family of Jimo are both in a rather dire situation, the city god Xu Gongfu and the county magistrate Wang Xiangchun have not left the New Domain, nor have they fled back to the county town of Jimo or the prefectural city of Qingzhou.

You should have said so earlier

The wolf demon was greatly surprised and quickly dodged to one side, avoiding a direct hit.

This remark is clearly not directed at the wolf demon, whose sense of smell is even more acute, making the stench even more unbearable; at this moment, he is on the verge of being sick from it.

It is unknown which vengeful spirit was the first to throw a stone, but all the ghosts immediately surged forward, surrounding the City God Xu Gongfu and several ghost generals, and began to beat them mercilessly

Chen Jiushan stepped aside and urgently inquired of the Primordial Divine Cauldron with his divine sense

You wish to seize control, do you not

My goodness, why didn't you say so earlier

This guy has a really foul mouth

As night falls, the entire new domain becomes exceedingly eerie and terrifying

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuwen no longer hesitated, and with a few quick strides, he leaped down by the riverbank, immediately swimming swiftly towards the opposite shore with one hand raised, holding his clothes.

Chen Jiu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do you mean that there are many spirits in the underworld that even the officials cannot control? After a person dies, do they not reincarnate? How can there be so many spirits in the underworld?"

This time it truly provoked him to an extreme degree

Xu Gongfu stared at the densely packed ghosts around him, completely stunned.

In the realm of Qingzhou in the mortal world, a ghostly immortal has fallen, and coincidentally, several broken paths of the Yellow Springs connect with the underworld, creating a rare occurrence of the Yin-Yang realm that happens once in a thousand years.

It seems that it is not easy for the spirits to possess mortals

The Honghuang Divine Cauldron is indeed a profound principle: "The foulness of Yin energy is only unpleasant to the living beings of the Yang realm; for the ghosts and spirits of the Yin realm, Yin energy is the nourishment for survival and even the spiritual energy for cultivation.

Some people are derogated to the status of beasts, while some beasts may be reborn as humans. There are countless souls in the underworld waiting to be reincarnated, yet the authorities of the underworld are unable to manage all of this

What kind of monster is this

Chen Jiu could not help but ask the Primordial Divine Cauldron a question with his divine sense

That's not right

He is preparing to travel while waiting for the prey to take the bait, because he is not a spirit or deity of the underworld and does not possess the ability to capture ghosts

The towns and villages in the counties of Jimo and Gaomi that have fallen into the new domain are closed off, with people too afraid to venture outside, and the common folk are trembling in fear.

The county magistrate Wang Xiangchun's side is no better than that of the city god Xu Gongfu

Ah!

There is no way around it; the temptation of the divine-level martial arts is too great. Even if they have to face ghosts and monsters while rampaging everywhere, they must capture Chen Jiu and obtain the martial arts techniques!

Seeing that he could not withstand the enemy, County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun, without a moment's thought, abandoned the people of Yifeng Shop and led all his subordinates, the spirit officials and clerks, to carve out a path of escape, fleeing in disarray

Then the malevolent spirit raised its eagle-like claws and menacingly threatened, "What do I want? I just want to borrow your skin for a while!"

The Northern Yin Division is not solely dedicated to warfare; the mere management of the Six Realms of Reincarnation has them overwhelmed. Where could he possibly gather such a large force at this moment?

In the realm of Yin and Yang, not only is the atmosphere thick with Yin energy, but there are also many mortals residing here; it is truly a paradise for ghosts and monsters

Before long, they crossed to the opposite bank and hurried westward

Beat him

As long as he can continue to absorb, breaking through the realm of the Demon King will not be a problem

As a result, overnight, the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered. When they woke up early in the morning, the surroundings had transformed into a gloomy new domain. Except for the magistrate Gongsun Xia, who happened to arrive near the giant pit, everyone else was completely bewildered

With a loud "pop," the large bone stick fell to the ground along with the skin of the evil spirit, and Chen Jiu's face was filled with delight

At this moment, he was completely bewildered

Many hands make light work, and many ghosts make for a good fight

I see you as a ghost

He was momentarily entranced before he couldn't help but exclaim: "How is this fierce ghost's spirit so strong? I feel that his willpower is almost on par with my own consciousness!"

Then let's go!

The thick aura of darkness continuously billowed forth like smoke signals from the black mountains scattered across the land, while the spirits of the underworld surged forth from the cracked path of the Yellow Springs, crying, laughing, shouting, dancing, floating, and running, darting about in every direction

Originally, Wang Xiangchun received a message from the spirit official Xu Ning, summoning all his subordinates to the Yifeng Inn, preparing to encircle and capture Chen Jiu

Immediately thereafter, he did not hesitate to employ the technique of devouring essence and took a deep breath.

Hahaha

What is this nonsense

This evil spirit still possesses vitality, and it is quite abundant. In this instance, it has nearly replenished all the blood essence absorbed by the Primordial Divine Cauldron, and its divine consciousness has also surged by approximately fifty percent.

The evil spirit let out a loud laugh, reached out with its left hand, and grabbed Chen Jiu to stuff him into its mouth

These scoundrels are the lackeys of the underworld, everyone, let’s go! If you have grievances, seek justice; if you have enmities, take revenge. Even if you have no grievances or enmities, please lend a hand to beat these lackeys to death

Moreover, the pervasive gloom nearly obscured the moonlight, making it impossible for him to see anything in the distance; he had no idea where the ghost might be, and thus could not pursue it

As a result, they had only just run a few miles when a massive creature suddenly emerged ahead of them

The Eastern Ghost Emperor cannot manage everything, and naturally, the City God Xu Gong of Jimo and the Judge Lu Dao of Qingzhou are even less capable of doing so

Chen Jiu pretended to shiver and said, "What do you want to do?"

I see now
