Shen Yan's face twitched.
Is this fucking laziness justified?
……
With the new mission, the ghosts in Qiandeng City are busy like clockwork.
The Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse and the Jade Gate Curse were practiced in turn. The whole camp glowed green and yellow at times. If there was a red light, it would really become a large traffic light.
Chen Mu himself was not idle either. He was working hard... to live his own life.
In addition to daily nourishment of the divine fetus to gain experience in the Jade Gate Curse, he still did not give up trying the food from the Netherworld.
When he was tired, he would lie down in the rocking chair and take a nap. When he was bored, he would go to the wooden house on the small island outside Qiandeng City and stay there for two days. If he was not afraid of the dangers of the blood sea, he would want to build a small boat and go out to sea for fun.
In short, everyone's life is fulfilling.
Two months disappeared in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Chen Mu called all the ghosts to gather in front of the wooden building, took a deep breath, and the power of the Danshan Sutra spread.
The spirits' divine powers resonated and trembled, and instantly turned into black smoke. In the blink of an eye, a cotton-like black cloud appeared, and light green flames flashed in the surging smoke.
Chen Mu immediately activated the Yumen Mantra, and a faint but familiar aura emerged in his heart.
"What's going on?" Shen Yan looked nervous.
"How? Of course it's done!" Chen Mu couldn't help but grinning.
Although his Qi was weak, its state was almost the same as when he first communicated with the Ghost Gate of Youying. This proved that his idea of the Ghost Gate in human form was completely correct!
After dispersing the Danshan Sutra and waving his hand to disperse the evil spirits that were also excited and cheering, Chen Mu felt relaxed.
Ever since he came to the Nether Demon Heaven, the fighting has never stopped, forcing him to hide in Qiandeng City all day long.
In comparison, although he did not stay in the underworld for a long time and the environment was quite eerie, he still missed it very much.
"We can start building a bottomless pool to hunt monsters and store inspiration." Chen Mu said with a smile.
Once the ghosts have more Yellow Springs Ferry stacked on their bodies and have accumulated enough spiritual energy, they can try to return to the underworld.
With a practical plan and a promising future, the heavy stone that had been weighing on Chen Mu's heart finally fell to the ground.
……
Amid a range of continuous mountains, the gray mist flows slowly among the mountains like surging sea water.
Eleven black flags, as tall as thirty or fifty-story buildings, were scattered over the mountains, looming in the clouds.
At the foot of a mountain somewhere, a gray-white stone archway suddenly jumped out of the void and instantly grew into a huge portal connecting to the void.
A large flag with a large silver "C" on it, dragging along a vast black cloud, emerged from a pitch-black curtained door that was rippling with water waves.
Among the mountains, the clouds that were originally flowing slowly suddenly gathered faster and faster, surrounding the thousands of ghost soldiers who had just landed.
boom!
With a thunderous explosion, a bright silver light suddenly flew out of the clouds. Like a forked branch of lightning, it fell densely into the middle of the group of ghost soldiers.
Most of the ghost soldiers had silver threads flashing on their bodies, ignoring the thunder. However, more than a hundred of them suddenly changed their expressions and turned into blood shadows, avoiding the thunder in the sky and quickly dispersing in all directions.
As if they had expected it, the number and intensity of the thunder increased suddenly, and the entire mountain forest was covered with silver flashes. The blood shadows had no way to escape, and were hit by the thunder one after another, turning into black smoke.
Not far away on the mountaintop, a sturdy man wearing a dark purple-gold robe and looking indifferent appeared. He stared at the bloody shadow that was chopped into ashes with a cold expression.
A sturdy man with a black face and black armor stood behind the purple-robed man and said sarcastically, "City Lord, this Lan Zhang is really greedy. He has set his eyes on these elite Yin soldiers in our main camp."
"How about I go and fight him? I've long disliked that lazy guy!" His eyes were shining and he looked eager to try.
Jian Chan did not reply, but stared at the gate of hell, sensing and checking carefully. After a long while, he nodded slightly and looked away.
"Before you leave, I can allow you to go find Lan Zhang and play some tricks on him."
"But the most urgent task is to absorb the spirit of the Nether Demon as soon as possible and practice the Soul Summoning Banner!"
"If we miss the important thing..." He glanced at the ruffian behind him.
"Don't worry, City Lord. I understand!" The big man in black armor immediately bowed and responded with a serious face.
Jian Chan turned his head and stared at the big flag fluttering in the sky, and couldn't help but smile a little.
Just a few ghost soldiers, not worth mentioning. As long as he can train these twelve big flags, he won't feel sorry even if all the ghost soldiers in the entire Jiugu City are swallowed by Lan Zhang.
The Lord of a City? Hehe...
With these twelve flags, I can become the King of the Underworld!
……
In Qiandeng City, a pool of water half the size of a football field appeared on the open space to the right of Chen Mumu’s building.
More than three hundred Yin spirits gathered together and sat cross-legged beside the pool. The Yin spirit power in their bodies flowed slowly, maintaining the bottomless pool like a mirror.
Chen Mu looked around the bottomless pool with great interest.
This thing is one of the abilities attached to Ghost Gate. It looks like a dark bottomless pool, but in fact it is not even as deep as a finger. It is more like a portal connecting to a secret space.
According to the insights given by the gray wall, this is a section of the deep Forgetful River space intercepted by the Ghost Gate.
It exists attached to the Ghost Gate and can store the essence of strange beasts and monsters. It can assist the Collection Department in absorbing essence, help the Medicine Department in refining precious medicines and decoctions, and can also be used by the Armament Department to temper soldiers and ghosts. Its effects are diverse and extraordinary.
"What a good stuff." Chen Mu couldn't help but praise.
Immediately, he waved his hand to open the Thousand Lights City, and a team of ghost soldiers drove the black cloud into the Thousand Lights City. They did not disband, but flew directly over the Bottomless Pond and threw the bloody sea monster fish into the water.
Even with the massive amounts of monsters thrown into the mix, the surface of this dark, bottomless pool remained as calm as a mirror.
Chen Mu took the deep-sea beast prey that the leading ghost soldier had specially left for him, waved his hand and asked them to return to the camp to rest, and continued to sense the bottomless pool.
But before long, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's still not enough."
The Bottomless Pond is connected to the Ghost Gate, which can vaguely define the bottom line of the number of spiritual energy required to activate the Ghost Gate.
The Dark Demon Heaven belongs to the outer heaven, and there is an endless void between it and the dark. Even though they are few in number and small in size, they still need a lot of spiritual power.
Five or six thousand Yin spirits took turns capturing strange beasts and monsters for more than a month. If they were piled together, they could form a small mountain. However, this is far from reaching the spiritual power limit required to move through the void.
The main reason is that the Yin spirits are not strong enough, and what they capture are weak beasts. They may be large in size, but they do not contain enough dark demon spirits.
"Gather all our strength to catch a big guy?" Chen Mu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, let's not take the risk."
"If the quality is not good enough, we can make up for it with quantity. It just means waiting for an extra year or two. Safety comes first."

Chapter 484 Relocation
Chen Mu thought he could stay in Qiandeng City peacefully until returning to the Yinming, but unexpectedly problems suddenly arose.
In Qiandeng City, next to the Bottomless Pond, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh as he sensed that there was still a huge gap in the amount of inspiration stored.
"Are you in trouble?"
After more than two months of all-out hunting, the strange beasts and monsters in the waters around the island have been basically cleared out, and they can't catch any more prey.
At first, the number of prey around the island decreased, but later, even if they ran to a slightly farther place, they might not be able to catch much prey.
What's worse is that two teams encountered powerful monsters one after another. If it weren't for Danshan Jing's escape by flying into the sky, these two teams of ghosts would have been buried in the sea of blood.
"Let's move somewhere else." Shen Yan had a calm expression, and it was obvious that he had expected this.
"That's all we can do." Chen Mu sighed.
According to his idea, it would be best to stay in one place without moving, and then wait to accumulate enough inspiration to leave the Netherworld.
But reality is not what we imagine, and the monsters in the sea of blood cannot be inexhaustible.
But when he thought about the dangers he might encounter during the move, he felt uneasy and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"It would be great if the monsters could keep popping up like leeks. What a pity..."
……
After deciding to move, Chen Mu did not delay. He dug the entire wooden house on the island into Qiandeng City and set off early the next morning.
This time he did not use the Rainbow Light because that would be too conspicuous and would also consume mana.
He used the Five Elements Escape Method, which was the innate magical power of the Heavenly Demon's true form and could be activated by the power of the Yin Spirit. When sending, the body could blend into the sea breeze. Although it was not fast, it was extremely stealthy and was suitable for long-distance migration.
After leaving the island, Chen Mu quickly felt the danger of Netherworld.
On only the second day of the journey, Di Ting Fa captured three powerful life rhythms. Fortunately, the Five Elements Escape Technique was indeed secretive and did not attract the attention of those powerful lives.
Resisting the urge to run back to the island to hide, Chen Mu had to take a careful detour.
After flying for five days, he finally found a suitable island.
The island is not big, with an area similar to that of a small village. Standing on the edge, you can see the other side at a glance. Its surface is covered with low shrubs and grass, with few tall trees, making it look a bit monotonous and barren.
Chen Mu was quite satisfied. If it was really a large island with thriving vitality, it would be inhabited by powerful beasts and monsters, and he would not dare to occupy it.
As usual, we explored the surroundings and eliminated potential dangers. We also released the wooden house and reorganized the small three-talent ban to cover it up. After another day and a half, this relocation operation was finally completed.
Chen Mu finally put his mind at ease. The hunting team began to take turns going out hunting, and he himself hid in Qiandeng City again to gain experience.
……
In the Netherworld, on top of a cliff somewhere, on a gray-white boulder protruding from the cliff, Lan Zhang was sitting cross-legged with his left leg resting on the edge of the cliff.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the boundless sea of blood in the distance. The dark red sunset had already sunk halfway into the sea level, dyeing the entire sky and earth scarlet.
The shadows behind him squirmed, and suddenly countless bloodshot eyes opened.
"I have secretly revealed the location of the headquarters to the members of the Three-Eyed Nether Clan." The overlapping voice of the eyeless boy appeared: "The Three-Eyed Nether Clan is fierce and has dominated the nearby sea area for many years. In order to make further progress, they are extremely eager for the fragments of the Heavenly Outer Heaven Spiritual Machine. Now that they know the existence of the headquarters, they will definitely not let Jian Chan go."
"but……"
"If you can transform all the elite Yin soldiers in Jiugu City, your strength will also increase greatly. If you can devour and digest Jian Chan as well, there may even be a qualitative change. Isn't it a pity to give such a good opportunity to others?" The eyeless boy wondered.
"That's because I like to help others." Lan Zhang said nonsense with a smile on his face.
The blind boy rolled his many eyes at the same time.
"Our City Lord Jian is not that simple." Lan Zhang chuckled.
