Begin the path of immortality from mortals

Deep in Yinfeng Gorge.

It was pitch black here, and the thick black wind turned into black whirlpools that swirled around. The evil cold winds turned into all kinds of strange creatures that roared endlessly.

The sounds of howling winds, howling wolves and screaming ghosts can be heard, and this seems to be a world of vengeful spirits and ghosts.

Led by the Yellow Springs Ghost Mother, Lu Tiandu and Mu Qing passed through the numerous ghost magic arrays set up by the Blue Ghost Mother and soon came to a strange place built between two thousand-foot cliffs.

Looking at the whirlpool-like entrance of the pitch-black hole in front of him, Lu Tiandu finally understood why he needed an insider to lead the way to find the Blue Ghost Woman's cave.

As the Yellow Springs Ghost Mother released a black light that wrapped around the three people, after passing through the black hole, the three people entered a cave that seemed to be built in a natural cave somewhere. It was the Xuanyin Cave where the Blue Ghost Mother practiced daily.

As we walked along the way, waves of cold and gloomy air made us feel even colder.

After passing through a thick gray forbidden light gate, the three people's eyes lit up, as if they had suddenly entered day from darkness.

After making many turns and passing through a passage full of restrictions again, after half a cup of tea, the three of them arrived at a slightly magnificent hall.

Mu Qing's real cave, the Mu Jing Cave, is very secretive, and Di Xue's Blood Flame Palace is full of traps. Now it seems that Lan Gui Po's Xuan Yin Cave is not inferior to it.

"Why does this style resemble the layout of human monks?"

This thought flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind as he looked at the layout of the hall.

Since coming to the Feiling tribe, except for his own Xuanji Cave, this is the first time he has seen the layout style of a cultivator's cave so close to the habits of human cultivators.

"Could it be that Ghost Blue was a human cultivator before, or that the layout of this hall was designed by one of her disciples, a human ghost cultivator?"

Just as Lu Tiandu was pondering, a gray light flashed above the hall, and a pale-faced middle-aged beautiful woman appeared on the cloud bed.

Her snow-white hair was tied up high in a stunning bun. Her plump figure was wrapped in a green palace dress. She sat cross-legged, and her pair of eyes with a hint of murderous intent stared fiercely at Lu Tiandu and Mu Qing.

"Sister Mu is here? I have been waiting for her to help me refine the Black Ghost!"

Lan Gui Po's old voice reached the ears of everyone in the hall. She then looked at Lu Tiandu, frowned slightly, and said:
"What? Is this sister Mu's friend? Since sister Mu was going to bring her friend to my cave, why didn't she inform me in advance?"

As she spoke, she gave the Yellow Springs Ghost Mother a faint glare.

For some unknown reason, although there seemed to be no spiritual power fluctuation around Lu Tiandu, the strange spiritual perception still allowed the Blue Ghost Po to vaguely sense some inexplicable fear that Lu Tiandu brought to her.

Moreover, there was no special aura of the Underworld monsters on Lu Tiandu. Naturally, she could tell at once that Lu Tiandu was not only a cultivator from outside the Underworld, but also a human cultivator.

No one knew that before she switched to practicing the way of the ghost, she was also a human in the lower world.

This time, Mu Qing brought other cultivators to her cave without telling her, which made her a little confused about what Mu Qing meant.

Moreover, it was the first time she saw Mu Qing's true face. What made her a little surprised was that Mu Qing, who had always been a little mysterious, actually revealed his true face this time.

"Don't blame me, Sister Lan!"

Mu Qing chuckled, "This is my sister's Taoist partner. This time, we are just here to pay a visit to Sister Lan."

"Lu has met Fellow Daoist Lan!"

Lu Tiandu also cooperated and bowed slightly to him.

"Daoist partner? Sister Mu, you are kidding, right? We have been together in the Earth Abyss for tens of thousands of years, but I have never heard that Sister Mu actually has a Taoist partner?"

Lan Gui Po was startled for a moment, then she looked at the two of them and suddenly sneered, "I don't know how this fellow Taoist from the Spirit World became Mu Meimei's Taoist partner? And this fellow Taoist probably has some purpose for coming to the Earth Abyss this time?"

It's no wonder that she overreacted. The matter of the Divine Milk of the Styx is extremely important to each of them, the demon kings. She also wanted to use the Divine Milk of the Styx to take her ghost king body to the next level, and even advance to the late stage of fusion.

Just as it was about to be time to enter the Styx, suddenly a high-level human cultivator similar to them came from the outside world.

Not to mention the variables that may arise later, what will happen if we get to the Styx and don't have enough Styx Divine Milk to share?
And since this person can make Mu Qing his Taoist partner, he must be at least in the middle stage of fusion. In this way, Mu Qing, who originally had the weakest strength, has a helper, and she becomes the bottom among all the demon kings.

This is what makes the Blue Ghost Lady most angry.

"Sister Mu and Lu became a Taoist couple not long ago."

At this time, Lu Tiandu looked at the blue ghost woman with a gloomy face, cold spiritual energy surging around her body, and a hint of vigilance, and smiled, "As for Lu, I did come to the Earth Abyss for some important matters. Of course, there are still a few small matters to deal with before that..."

"Yes, it is true that I became a Taoist couple with Lu Lang not long ago."

Mu Qing cooperated very well and looked at Lu Tiandu with a smile.

"Oh, really? Then I would like to congratulate you, Sister Mu!"

The blue witch forced a smile, but she became more and more angry in her heart.

When she saw Lu Tiandu and the other man strolling leisurely, she understood that they didn't take her seriously at all.

However, she had sensed some of Lu Tiandu's aura that made her wary, and she was not sure she could defeat the two of them in a one-on-two fight. At this time, she naturally would not say anything unpleasant to offend the two of them.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lu, right? Sister Mu is extremely talented. I would like to congratulate you for finding such a good match!"

"Fellow Daoist said that he had a few small matters to deal with when he came to Diyuan. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help?"

The blue ghost woman continued with a kind look.

"There are two small matters related to Fellow Daoist Lan. I am here for these two matters."

Lu Tiandu followed Lan Guipo's words and said, "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Lan is quite famous in refining black ghosts. The first thing I want to do this time is to ask Fellow Daoist Lan to pledge loyalty to me for ten thousand years."

"What? You want me to be your slave and let you command me for ten thousand years?"

Hearing this, the Blue Ghost Po suddenly stood up, and countless gray-black cold spiritual energy rolled around her body and turned into a cloud. Inside the cloud, there were ghosts that looked like evil spirits howling continuously, as if they were about to choose someone to devour.

His face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes became increasingly cold as he stared at Lu Tiandu.

Ever since she advanced to the realm of Ghost King ten thousand years ago, this was the first time she heard that someone actually wanted to take her in as a ghost servant?
In an instant, the blue ghost woman was furious and had already thought about fighting with Lu Tiandu.

The Yellow Spring Ghost Mother, who was a little further away in the hall, saw the scene around the Blue Ghost Lady and her eyes suddenly shrank. She was sweating profusely under the Blue Ghost Lady's amazing spiritual pressure, and her body was a little stiff.

"Sister Lan, it is your blessing that your husband is willing to take you in. I really don't want you to refuse!"

At this moment, Mu Qing chuckled and flicked his wide sleeves. The terrifying aura of the Blue Ghost Po that made the Yellow Springs Ghost Mother tremble with fear suddenly shattered and disappeared like a bubble.

Then, under the incredulous gaze of the Blue Ghost Woman, the powerful aura of Mu Qing at the peak of his fusion roared out, instantly making the Blue Ghost Woman's face change drastically.

"Impossible! A few months ago, you had the same cultivation level as me. How could you advance to the peak of the Saint level so quickly?"

Lan Gui Po stared at Mu Qing, her consciousness sensing the aura around Mu Qing, and her old voice was full of disbelief. "My sister can achieve what she has now, thanks to my husband! As for my sister's strength, if you don't believe it, you can try it out!"

Mu Qing laughed tenderly. Seeing Lan Gui Po's attitude made her feel a little proud:
"But I still advise Sister Lan not to reject my husband. The last Earth Blood Monster who rejected my husband had his three puppet bodies forcibly refined into spirit slaves by my husband..."

At this time, she naturally would not say anything about the fact that if Lu Tiandu had not taken action, she would have almost had her body kidnapped by the Earth Blood.

"The three puppet bodies? You actually took over the Earth Blood?"

Lan Guipo was shocked again. She didn't expect that the Earth Blood Monster actually had three puppet bodies.

At this moment, unexpected things happened one after another, making her look at Lu Tiandu with fear in her eyes.

It was really hard for her to believe that Mu Qing had reached the peak of fusion in just a few months.

But no matter how she used her secret techniques to investigate, the astonishing aura around Mu Qing that was vaguely similar to that of the six-legged creature seemed to be unfaithful.

What made her feel even more uneasy was that the old monster Dixue, who was stronger than her and had hidden his strength, was transformed into a spirit slave.

What made her even more fearful was that the young human being next to her was the one who caused all this.

She had previously found out that the human race was just a small tribe on Fengyuan Continent, so even though her cultivation had greatly improved, she had never thought of returning to the human race.

But when did the human race have such a being as Lu Tiandu? He could actually help other cultivators advance one level in such a short period of time? And he also had the amazing means to suppress three mid-stage Saints?
It is much more difficult to suppress a mid-stage Saint than to kill a mid-stage Saint.

Based on her knowledge, if the six-legged beast can kill the Earth Blood, it would probably be difficult for it to suppress the Earth Blood, right?
"The bodies of the Earth Blood's twin evil puppets have been sent out by Lu to collect various materials. As for the Purple Blood Puppet where its main soul resides, it won't be difficult for Daoist Fellow Lan to meet him."

Lu Tiandu smiled calmly, "Di Xue was refined into a spirit slave by me using my great magical power because he offended me. I have no grudges against Fellow Daoist Lan, and this is the main reason why I am willing to give Fellow Daoist Lan a chance, considering his talents can be put to good use."

"If you refuse, then I will have no choice but to suppress you and force you to become an obedient spirit slave!"

As Lu Tiandu spoke, an incomparable amount of spiritual power suddenly swept out.

In an instant, the void within several feet around the Blue Ghost Lady was somewhat stagnant. At this moment, the Blue Ghost Lady's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but said in a lost voice:
"Mahayana monk?"

"Mahayana cultivator? Isn't the Great Elder only in the early stage of fusion?"

Compared to the Blue Ghost Lady's fear, the Yellow Spring Ghost Lady on the other side was full of doubts.

However, ever since she heard that Senior Mu Qing had actually advanced to the late stage of fusion, she knew that there would be no accidents in her escape from the clutches of the Blue Ghost Woman this time.

"Whether he is a Mahayana cultivator or not is not important. What is important is that even if Liu Zu is in front of me, it will not be difficult for me to kill him."

Lu Tiandu looked confident and spoke calmly, "In addition, as long as Fellow Daoist Lan is loyal to me for ten thousand years, I am not a mean and ungrateful person. During this period, it is not impossible for me to help you advance to the late Saint level..."

In addition to the threat of force, Lu Tiandu also took out a sweet treat to win people's hearts.

This will naturally make the Blue Ghost Po work harder.

"What? You can actually help me advance to the late Saint level?"

The blue ghost woman suddenly looked at Lu Tiandu again, and her originally gloomy expression showed a little more movement.

At this moment, she naturally heard that Lu Tian was not yet a Mahayana cultivator, but since Lu Tian did not take Liu Zu seriously, he was probably a late Saint-level existence.

What’s even more terrifying is Lu Tiandu’s astonishing soul that far surpasses that of a fusion cultivator.

As a ghost cultivator, although she had condensed the body of a ghost king, overall she was more suppressed than other cultivators when facing Lu Tiandu's spiritual pressure.

With all these things, not to mention Mu Qing standing by, Lu Tian alone was not something she could handle.

As for the spirit slave that Lu Tiandu mentioned before, although she couldn't guess what it was, it was obvious that being refined into a spirit slave was not a good thing.

In this case, surrendering to Lu Tiandu is naturally her only choice at the moment.

At this moment, the temptation that Lu Tiandu offered to help her advance to the late Saint level was also very attractive.

"Don't worry. Although the thunder tribulation you will face in the future as a ghost cultivator is extremely terrifying, I have my own ways to help you overcome the tribulation."

Lu Tiandu said confidently, "Besides, it will be a good thing for me if you advance in your cultivation. This matter will benefit both you and me. In addition, as long as you have made great achievements during this period, I will not hesitate to reward you with other treasures, spirit stones, elixirs, and skills..."

The puppet army and the mysterious ghost army are the main reasons why Lu Tian attaches great importance to Earth Blood and Blue Ghost Po. As long as they are properly prepared, these two armies will play a significant role in the magic calamity.

In this way, with Lu Tiandu continuing to show goodwill and Mu Qing playing the good guy on the side, the Blue Ghost Po quickly relaxed her mind with a look of helplessness on her face, allowing Lu Tiandu to plant a restriction in her soul.

Feeling the extremely mysterious and indestructible soul mark in the soul, Lan Guipo sighed secretly, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying:
"I, Lan Yi, greet the master!"

"Please get up!"

Lu Tiandu flicked his sleeves, and a ball of spiritual energy lifted up the blue ghost woman, completing this simple ceremony. "Tell me about your origins!"

In response to Lu Tiandu's questioning, Lan Guipo did not hide anything and gave a detailed account of her journey to the Abyss.

What Lu Tian didn't expect was that the Blue Ghost Lady's predecessor was actually a psychic cultivator in the human world in the lower realm.

Later, after losing his physical body in a battle with others, Lan Yi did not take over the body of another person. Instead, he took advantage of some opportunities and turned to practicing the ghost way.

Later, during her revenge, she was besieged and beaten to the point where only her soul was left. She actually used a treasure she obtained by chance to hide in a crack in the void.

Unexpectedly, when he regained consciousness, he arrived at the Diyuan, a place very suitable for cultivation.

What follows is naturally the history of the rise of a ghost king in the earth abyss.

As for the Blue Ghost Po's ability to sense the ghost cultivators among the ascended cultivators near the spiritual world and forcibly lead them to the abyss of the earth, she also relied on the disc-shaped ghost treasure in her hand, which she called the "Xuan Yin Disk".

"You are really lucky. It seems that someone has refined a fragment of a mysterious object into this treasure! It can be regarded as a mysterious sacred weapon!"

While the Blue Ghost Lady was looking nervous, Lu Tiandu took a look at the Xuanyin Plate in his hand and then threw it to her.

"Master, you have a sharp eye. It's me who is petty."

Seeing this, Blue Ghost Woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly.

In fact, she had already prepared herself for Lu Tiandu to plunder this treasure, but she didn't expect that Lu Tiandu would actually return the treasure to her.

This is a treasure ranked in the top few hundred on the Ten Thousand Spirits List!
"Don't worry. Since you are my subordinate, I will not covet my own things. Besides, it's not like I haven't seen Xuantian treasures before, so I won't break my promise for a Xuantian holy weapon. In addition, the Xuantian things refined into this treasure seem to be related to the way of ghosts. In your hands, it may be able to exert some power..."

Lu Tiandu secretly sighed that this Blue Ghost Po had a good opportunity, and explained a few words. (End of this chapter)
