Collecting the corpse for the emperor, my cultivation base will skyrocket for ten thousand years!

"This looks like a ghost town!"

Looking at the ancient and dilapidated Yinshan Ancient City before him, the Corpse Demon said with some surprise.

He seemed quite surprised by what he said.

His reaction immediately piqued the curiosity of everyone present, and Yin Siming asked, "Have you seen it before?"

"Aren't you a creature from the abyss? Could there be similar underworld ruins in the abyss?"

Not only Yin Siming, but everyone else also looked at the Corpse Demon with puzzled eyes; this was a relic of the underworld, and in theory it should not be possible for it to appear in the abyss.

However, the Corpse Demon nodded solemnly: "Of course I've seen it."

“Such things are very rare in the abyss, but they do exist; I once saw a similar ghost city in the tenth layer of the abyss, and the scale and antiquity of that ghost city far exceeded that of the Yinshan Ancient City in front of us.”

"Ghost cities like these all share a common characteristic: they are basically devoid of any living beings; even ghost cities in the abyss are forbidden places that inspire fear."

“Any species that go there will die mysteriously, and they will not even be able to be reborn or resurrected.”

"This ancient city in Yinshan doesn't seem to be as terrifying as the tenth level of the abyss..."

The Corpse Demon scrutinized him for a long time before slowly replying.

His words shocked and amazed everyone even more; clearly, none of them had imagined that the underworld ruins, which were under the jurisdiction of the human world, actually existed in the abyss.

It seems that the ghost city in the abyss fell from the human world.

Filled with astonishment and curiosity, the group followed Tu Shan Cang Yue and cautiously entered the Yinshan Ancient City, only to find that there was indeed no trace of any living beings inside.

An ominous aura of desolation and death permeated the world, and terrifying Yellow Springs power raged wildly. Even though they were all titled cultivators of the Great Dao, they all felt a chill run down their spines after entering the Yinshan Ancient City.

After an unknown amount of time, the group walked through the dilapidated and decaying streets of the ancient city of Yinshan and finally stopped in front of a huge building in the very center of the city.

What stood before them now was a black temple!

However, the temple gates were closed, and on the left and right sides outside the temple, there were many strange-looking stone statues.

These stone statues have ferocious and menacing appearances, some with bull heads and human bodies, and others with horse faces and human bodies. The only normal one is a man holding a black ancient book and a writing brush, exuding a strong sense of majesty.

It gives one a sense of mystery, as if judging all living beings...

"Yinshan City God Temple?"

At this moment, Zhao Huanshan, who was in the crowd, noticed a broken plaque next to the temple and softly read out the words on it.

His eyes revealed a deep sense of confusion!

"What is a City God Temple? Is it a temple of the underworld?"

He looked at the god of the dead beside him in confusion. The other party was a god of the underworld, and he must know more about these things of the underworld than he did.

"The City God Temple is similar to the temples of gods and deities in the human world. In those mortal dynasties and countries, a large number of mortals often make offerings and sacrifices to the gods of the underworld. According to the system of authority, the City God is a kind of god under the jurisdiction of the underworld, in charge of a city or a region in the human world."

According to mortals, living beings in the mortal world believe in reincarnation after death and the concept of cause and effect. Worshipping the city god of a city can protect the peace of the home and one's own safety.

"However, it is very rare to see City God Temples in the cultivation world. Cultivators do not have much reverence for life, death, and reincarnation. They yearn for and pursue great power more."

"Many of the powers of the underworld deities have been replaced by the incense-burning gods of the human world..."

Before the God of the Dead could answer, Yin Siming's voice rang out first.

City God Temples are quite common in mortal realms!

Yin Siming had seen such things before during the Great Li Dynasty; however, since entering the cultivation world, he has basically not seen any temples like the City God Temple that enshrine underworld deities.

They could even be said to have disappeared.

"This is indeed a City God Temple, and the deity enshrined there is the City God of Yinshan, who is in charge of matters such as life and death, reincarnation, good and evil, and the cycle of rebirth in this ancient city of Yinshan and the surrounding area."

"In fact, City God Temples and temples of underworld deities do not only exist in the mortal realm, but also in the cultivation world."

"It's just that you haven't had the chance to see it."

"In certain high-level worlds, as long as a complete underworld system is constructed, then there must be something like a City God Temple." "Besides the City God Temple, there are also Judge Temples, Yama Temples, Ghost Emperor Temples, Underworld Offices, and so on."

"There are even exclusive places in the underworld, hell, and the Nine Netherworlds..."

Tu Shan Cangyue gave a detailed explanation, which greatly surprised everyone. They had certainly broadened their horizons this time.

They didn't know much about the underworld's system of authority or its specific affairs; those once ethereal legends had now become reality.

also!

This also reflects that their current realm and level, as well as the world they live in, are still very low, and they have no contact with things like the underworld.

"High Priest, since the underworld system only exists in higher-level worlds, how do the dead beings in lower-level worlds reincarnate?"

"Of course there is no reincarnation!"

"It seems that there is something wrong with the underworld's system of authority, which has weakened its power and influence, making it unable to reach the entire human world."

"Therefore, currently only in those high-level worlds can there be a relatively complete underworld system, where living beings can reincarnate in this world after they die and be reborn as humans."

"You'll find out when you go to higher-level worlds later. For example, the Origin World should have a system of underworld."

"God of the Dead, you must have come from this Yinshan City God Temple, right?"

Tu Shan Cangyue asked without turning her head.

Upon hearing this, the God of the Dead nodded respectfully: "Yes, High Priest."

"I am a soul-reaping messenger of the Yinshan City God Temple. I should have been annihilated, but in the end, I was fortunate enough to leave behind a wisp of obsession, and became the last ghost and god of the Yinshan City God Temple."

"Right now, my true spirit is incomplete, so I don't know what exactly happened back then. I've been here ever since my obsession was awakened."

"Later, with the unexpected intrusion of the Great Venerable Futian, I was able to break free from the ruins of the Yinshan City God Temple with his help and go to the outside world with him."

"Because I am a being from the underworld, I am able to use and control some of the power of the underworld. Later, by stealing the position of the God of Origin and the endless offerings of the Origin Immortal Clan, I was able to gain control of the power of the dead."

"I also tried to open the Yinshan City God Temple to find out why it fell into disrepair, but with my meager strength, I simply couldn't open it."

"The scale of this Yinshan City God Temple far surpasses that of the ancient emperors..."

The god of the dead answered with a bitter and sighing tone.

To this day, he still doesn't know how his obsession survived; and yet, he is the only one who survived, while all the other ghosts and spirits vanished into thin air.

Perhaps the answer can be found in the City God Temple in Yinshan, but with his strength, he simply cannot open the gate of the City God Temple.

Upon hearing the words of the God of the Dead, Tu Shan Cang Yue also tried to use her authority and power to open the Yinshan City God Temple, but ultimately all attempts ended in failure.

Her current authority and power are not enough to open the Yinshan City God Temple.

Seeing this, Tu Shan Cang Yue didn't dwell on it too much. She figured that once she became stronger, she would naturally be able to figure out the secrets here.

"Let's go!"

"This ancient city of Yinshan has been completely ruined, and all kinds of underworld rules have been almost erased. There is no point in staying here any longer."

"Moreover, that underworld passage is extremely unstable. Without the suppression of the Origin Dao Stele, it could collapse and be destroyed at any time."

"We'll explore this again later..."

After saying that, Tu Shan Cang Yue left Yinshan Ancient City without any hesitation. She could sense that the underworld passage outside was about to collapse.

really.

Just as everyone left the Yinshan Ancient City and returned to the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, the original underworld passage collapsed with a roar, and even the surrounding space and time began to collapse and shatter.

It quickly spread to the entire area of ​​the Chaotic Ancient Ruins.

Seeing this scene, Tu Shan Cang Yue could not stop it, but she left a mark on the human world here.

Perhaps then, we can reopen access to the ancient city of Yinshan. (End of Chapter)
