Chapter 457
The ghost king, who was emitting a bloody aura, swung the bloody soul-killing knife in his hand and slashed at Fu Shaoping. The knife light was blood red, carrying a strong murderous aura, as if it wanted to tear everything apart.
Fu Shaoping was not in a hurry, and controlled the Thunder Sword in the Taiyi Sword Formation to fight back. The lightning and blood light collided, making a deafening roar.
The thin Ghost King waved the Shadow Gathering Yin Banner, and the surrounding Yin energy instantly condensed into countless ghost shadows, rushing towards Fu Shaoping.
The golden light of Fu Shaoping's Flying Demon Subduing Bodyguard flashed, dispersing those ghosts one by one. At the same time, he controlled the Nether Ghost Banner, releasing more ghosts to entangle with those ghosts.
The Ghost King, whose body was surrounded by black flames, waved his hands, and the ghost fire of the underworld turned into a black fire dragon and pounced towards Fu Shaoping.
The shadow of the dragon above Fu Shaoping's head roared and rushed towards the black fire dragon. The two dragons collided violently in the air, lightning and flames intertwined, and the entire cave was illuminated by flickering light.
Fu Shaoping said coldly:
"You think I'm a pushover, but I'm not that easy to control!"
The ghost king, who was emitting a bloody smell, roared: "Boy, your resistance now is in vain. We will tear you into pieces soon."
Fu Shaoping mocked, "Don't brag too soon, you three are nothing more than that."
In the battle with the three ghost kings, Fu Shaoping gradually gained the upper hand. He used the thunder and lightning power of the Taiyi Sword Formation to continuously weaken the ghost kings' defenses; used the golden light of the Feitian Fumo body protection to resist the ghost kings' attacks; used the power of the Tianlong Temple in the underworld to suppress the ghost kings' yin energy; and used the ghosts of the Netherworld Ghost Banner to consume the ghosts of the ghost kings.
Finally, Fu Shaoping seized an opportunity. He controlled the twelve Jinglei Swords in the Taiyi Sword Formation and shot them at the Ghost King, who was emitting a bloody aura. The Jinglei Swords, with their strong lightning power, instantly penetrated the Ghost King's body. The Ghost King let out a shrill scream, and his body turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated.
Fu Shaoping said to the remaining two ghost kings: "You are the next ones."
The skinny ghost king said in horror: "How can you be so strong?"
Fu Shaoping did not respond and continued to attack. He controlled the Nether Ghost Banner and released countless ghosts, surrounding the skinny ghost king. The ghosts bit the ghost king's body frantically, and the ghost king screamed, and was eventually devoured by the ghosts.
Finally, the shadow of the dragon above Fu Shaoping's head pounced and completely devoured the ghost king surrounded by black flames. The ghost king screamed for the last time in the dragon's mouth, and his body turned into a ball of black smoke and completely disappeared in the cave.
With the fall of the three ghost kings, the yin energy in the entire Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave dissipated instantly. Fu Shaoping stood in the center of the cave, the Nether Ghost Banner in his hand and the Underworld Dragon Temple above his head still exuding a powerful aura. He took a deep breath, feeling the consumption of his spiritual power, but at the same time he also felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
The Treasure Mirror of the Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly.
The first fate attribute point instantly climbed to 70,000.
Only 30,000 are left to exchange for the Divine Transformation Pill:
"It seems that we can kill more ghosts in the Nine Netherworld."
Fu Shaoping stood in the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts. He had just defeated three ghost kings and his breath had not yet fully calmed down.
He looked at the ghosts wandering around in the cave because the Ghost King was destroyed, and his heart moved.
Fu Shaoping stood in the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, looking at the confused and painful souls. He decided to use the power of the Dragon Temple in the underworld to save them.
He slowly raised his hands and chanted a spell for salvation. The Underworld Dragon Temple emitted a soft light and began to cover the entire Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
A dead soul timidly approached the light, and Fu Shaoping said softly: "Don't be afraid, this light can take you to a good place, where there will be no more pain."
The ghost asked in a trembling voice: "Really? Sir, we are suffering so much here, can we really be free?"
Fu Shaoping nodded and said, "Of course, with the power of the Underworld Dragon Temple, I will be able to save you."
As the salvation process continued, more and more souls were enveloped by the light. After being saved, one soul turned into a faint light and floated towards Fu Shaoping, saying gratefully: "Sir, thank you for your mercy. We have been suffering in this cave of ghosts for many years, and today we are finally freed."
Fu Shaoping smiled and said, "From now on, you can enter the temple, become believers, and share peace."
The dead souls responded one after another: "Your grace is like rebirth. We are willing to enter the temple and follow you."
As the souls of the dead were constantly saved, they turned into faint lights and merged into the underworld's Tianlong Temple. With each soul that merged, the temple expanded a bit.
After the soul of an old dead soul entered the temple, he sighed: "This place is full of peaceful atmosphere, which is completely different from the cave of ten thousand ghosts. The adults are really kind people."
After Fu Shaoping had saved the souls of many dead, he began to carefully explore the Cave of Ghosts.
He walked slowly along the wall of the cave, gently swaying the Netherworld Ghost Banner in his hand, releasing a faint light to illuminate his surroundings.
Suddenly, he felt a faint spiritual power wave coming from a corner. Fu Shaoping was delighted, he knew that there must be something extraordinary here.
He walked cautiously towards the source of the spiritual fluctuations and found a small box emitting a faint light behind a huge rock.
The box looked ordinary, but it was engraved with ancient runes. The runes glowed with mysterious light, as if telling a story from long ago.
Fu Shaoping squatted down and looked at the box carefully. He tried to touch it with his spiritual power, but found that there was a layer of restriction around the box.
He frowned and began to think about how to crack it.
At this moment, a ghost who had just become a believer of the Underworld Dragon Temple floated over and said:
"My Lord, I have seen ghost kings try to open this box before, but they all failed."
Fu Shaoping asked: "Do you know what is in this box?"
The ghost replied, "I don't know, but I heard that this is a treasure that existed when the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave existed, and the things inside must be extraordinary." Fu Shaoping did not give up, and he began to mobilize his various magical knowledge. He thought of the method of breaking the runes in the Taiyi Sword Formation, so he controlled the Thunder Sword and made the rune power on the sword echo the runes on the box.
After some effort, the restriction on the box finally opened slowly after a flash of light.
A dazzling light shot out from the box, and Fu Shaoping saw a crystal clear bead lying inside. The bead seemed to contain a small world, with mountains, rivers, and wisps of spiritual power flowing.
Fu Shaoping picked up the bead with surprise and felt the powerful spiritual power fluctuations coming from the bead.
He thought that if this bead was integrated into the chaotic space, the laws of space would certainly be more perfect.
Fu Shaoping's mind fell on his own sea of consciousness, and he looked at the orb in his hand with a firm gaze.
This gem contains endless mysterious power. He knew very well that placing it into the world of consciousness might bring about tremendous changes, but he made this decision without hesitation.
He raised his hand slightly, and the orb slowly floated to the center of the sea of consciousness.
The moment the gem touched the sea of consciousness, a dazzling light burst out instantly, and the entire sea of consciousness was shrouded in this light.
As the orb merged with the sea of consciousness, the sea of consciousness began to undergo miraculous changes.
The originally vague laws of nature seemed to be carefully carved by an invisible hand, becoming clearer and more perfect.
Suddenly, in the depths of the sea of consciousness, a new pattern of laws began to slowly emerge.
This is the law of reincarnation. Its appearance is like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Fu Shaoping could clearly feel the power of the law of reincarnation.
In the world of sea of consciousness, as the law of reincarnation operates, a story of human reincarnation unfolds in the world of immortals and heroes.
This human is called Su Ran. In his first life, he was born in a continent with many immortal cultivation sects. Su Ran was born in a family affiliated with a small sect and had a strong desire to cultivate immortals since he was a child. Although his family can provide some basic resources for cultivating immortals, it is a far cry from the big sects.
Su Ran's journey to immortality began with drawing Qi into his body, and he showed extraordinary perseverance. Every morning, before the first ray of sunlight fell, he began to practice breathing exercises beside the spiritual spring in the back mountain of his family. His aptitude was not excellent, but with his love for immortality and unremitting efforts, he successfully broke through the Qi Refining Stage and entered the Foundation Building Stage.
During this process, he met a woman from the same sect named Qing Wan. The two practiced together, supported each other, and gradually developed a deep relationship. However, the road to immortal cultivation is full of ups and downs. During a mission organized by the sect to explore the ruins, they encountered a powerful demon monk. In order to protect Qing Wan and other fellow disciples, Su Ran stepped forward and fought a desperate battle with the demon monk. Although he tried his best, he was eventually severely injured by the demon monk due to the disparity in strength. At the last moment of his life, he injected all his spiritual power into Qing Wan's body to help her escape, but he himself died on the spot.
After his death, Su Ran's soul was drawn by the law of reincarnation. His soul left his body, turned into a ray of light, and entered a reincarnation channel full of mysterious runes and spiritual power fluctuations. In the channel, his soul was wrapped in a layer of faint fairy light, and the memories of his previous life were sealed, leaving only some emotions and qualities deeply engraved in the depths of his soul, such as his bravery and persistence in cultivating immortals.
When he was reborn again, he appeared in a family of immortal cultivators. In this life, he had excellent qualifications and was a rare immortal cultivator in the family once in a hundred years. The faint influence of the memories of his past life in his soul gave him an innate familiarity with immortal cultivation. Su Ran had been carefully cultivated by his family since he was a child, and he was given all kinds of rare elixirs and exercises to choose from.
He made rapid progress in his cultivation and soon broke through the foundation-building stage and entered the golden elixir stage. In this life, he was determined to explore a higher realm of cultivation and unlock the many mysteries of cultivation. He traveled all over the world and challenged masters from various sects. In the process, he constantly improved his own skills and integrated the strengths of hundreds of schools.
By chance, he learned a legend about an ancient elixir. It is said that the elixir is hidden in a dangerous fairy palace, which is full of various restrictions and powerful guardian beasts. Su Ran went to the fairy palace regardless of the danger. In the fairy palace, he went through countless hardships and obstacles, cracked the restrictions one by one, and defeated the guardian beasts one by one. In the end, he successfully found the ancient elixir.
However, just as he was about to take the elixir, he discovered that the restrictions around the elixir triggered an ancient curse. This curse would bring disaster to the entire Xiuxian continent. Su Ran was faced with a difficult choice: to swallow the elixir for his own Xiuxian path, or to sacrifice himself to lift the curse.
In the end, Su Ran chose the latter. He used the immortal method he had learned to merge his soul with the curse and eliminate the threat by dissipating himself.
His soul entered reincarnation again. This time, he was born in a small mountain village isolated from the world. Although there were few resources for cultivating immortals here, the desire for cultivating immortals in the depths of his soul never extinguished. Relying on the experience accumulated in his previous life and his unique understanding of cultivating immortals, he began to practice alone in this difficult environment.
He searched for spiritual herbs around the mountain village and refined elixirs. Although the progress was slow, each step was very solid. As he practiced, he gradually attracted the attention of some independent cultivators. Some of these independent cultivators wanted to rob him of his resources, while others wanted to travel with him. In this process, Su Ran learned how to survive in the dangerous world of immortal cultivation.
By chance, he got an ancient immortal cultivation secret book, which recorded a unique cultivation method that could help him break through the current bottleneck. He practiced according to the method in the secret book and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Su Ran's soul is constantly reborn, practicing, and making choices in Fu Shaoping's sea of consciousness, under the law of reincarnation in the world of immortals and heroes. Every life she lives writes a legendary story full of immortals and heroes.
Fu Shaoping also saw some blurry images, including the birth, growth, and death of living beings, and then the souls entering a new cycle of reincarnation.
In this process, the power of cause and effect is also more clearly manifested.
Fu Shaoping was amazed. He realized that this change would have a profound impact on his practice and the world he lived in.
A thought.
His consciousness returned to the main body.
Fu Shaoping has accomplished many feats in the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Now it is time to leave this gloomy and mysterious place.
He stood in the center of the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, surrounded by the faint spiritual light left by the souls that had just been liberated, as if expressing their gratitude to him. Fu Shaoping took a last look at this place, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. This was once a place where countless souls suffered, but now because of his arrival, it has a new lease of life.
He slowly raised his feet and walked towards the exit of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. With every step he took, a faint spiritual power fluctuation would appear under his feet, which was a manifestation of his more restrained strength after his experience in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
Step out of the exit of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
The sunlight outside shone on him, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness inside the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. He took a deep breath and felt the vitality and energy of the outside world.
At this moment, he found a small formation at the exit of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave. This formation looked like it was set up by the monks who had entered the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave before, probably to prevent the evil spirits in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave from escaping. Fu Shaoping carefully studied the formation and found that it was already somewhat damaged. (End of this chapter)
