Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

In addition, there are many high-level ghost fields within the cultivation treasure land that belongs exclusively to the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord.

Therefore, when the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord went to the depths of the Endless Void River to explore the outer realms, he planted many high-potential ghost plant seeds in those ghost fields and even in some places in the mountains where ghost energy was abundant.

Moreover, it also incurred a huge cost, hiring some high-level ghost-path spirit plant masters from the Void Heaven Ghost Sect to take care of those ghost-path spirit plant seeds every day.

In addition, it took it nearly one or two hundred years to travel to the endless void river.

As a result, the seeds of the ghost plants in that ghostly land grew vigorously one after another.

In fact, many of these ghost plants can reach the fifth rank in just a few years.

And by then, their value will become extraordinary.

"After many years, the batch of ghost-path spiritual plants that I returned with truly brought me an extraordinary surprise."

"And once they mature, I can also earn an extra huge sum of money."

The Nether Serpent Demon Lord looked at the high-potential ghost plants in the mountains that were about to mature, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Afterwards, it returned to a cave atop the Nether Serpent Mountain, where the ghostly aura was incredibly dense, and began to cultivate in seclusion.

It also summoned the family's rock-formed spirit ghost that it had just subdued, as well as some high-potential spirit ghosts that had been refined from places like the Golden Qian Little Ghost Realm, and some spirit ghosts that had been refined in the early years.

And let them cultivate by drawing upon the ghostly energy within the mountain.

In this way, their cultivation speed can be faster, and it can be of greater help to it.

However, the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord failed to notice that within the rock-formed spirit ghost soul that he had imprisoned using a special soul-controlling technique, there was always a faint, imperceptible fluctuation probing the surroundings.

In addition, among the spirits under its command, besides the Rock Spirit, there is also the Three-Headed Vajra Fiend Tiger Demon in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Like the Rock Spirit Ghost, they possess extremely strong physiques, even capable of withstanding several attacks from early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, if they work together, they can even block attacks from mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

That is why the Nether Serpent Demon Lord kept them when he acquired them in his early years.

Following the old custom, he used his expertise in soul control to transform it into a ghost puppet.

In addition, they all come from a very special ghost and demon race in the Ghost Realm of Ten Thousand Souls.

This demon and ghost race is a race of demonic beasts from other realms. It was only because the laws of heaven and earth in the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm are pure ghost laws that it was born and transformed into an extremely special existence.

Moreover, it has many demons and monsters under its command, as well as a large number of demons, and even many powerful ones.

They also have a place in the realm of ghosts and spirits.

Even the overlord of the ghost demon clan, the "Phantom Spirit Ghost Fox Clan," is ranked alongside the Void Heaven Ghost Sect behind the Underworld Serpent Ghost Lord as one of the five top forces in the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Besides, due to the flourishing of the ghost path, the Ghost Realm of Ten Thousand Souls also has other branches of the ghost path, such as evil ghosts, or heavenly spirits, etc.

Furthermore, since the resources in the Ghost Realm are limited, conflicts frequently arise between the various factions.

The three Vajra Fiend Tiger Demon in the hands of the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord was obtained hundreds of years ago during a conflict between the Void Heaven Ghost Sect behind it and the Illusionary Spirit Fox Clan. It took the Ghost Lord some effort and considerable strength to acquire it.

In addition, the Nether Serpent Demon Lord can also be considered a member of the demon race.

As for why he joined the Void Heaven Ghost Sect, it was due to some special circumstances.

Moreover, the Void Heaven Ghost Sect is, after all, a sect power, and is relatively tolerant of all kinds of ghost paths, so this place is more suitable for its development.

There are even many other ghosts and demons in this sect.

……

In a blink of an eye.

Decades pass.

During this period, the ghostly spiritual plants within the Nether Serpent Mountain matured one after another, adding to the wealth of the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord.

And thanks to those ghostly spiritual plants, plus the resources it had obtained from exploring the realm, it had made considerable progress in its cultivation.

It even cultivated to the late stage of the old-school Nascent Soul realm, not far from the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

In addition, the Rock Ghost, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, and the other guardian spirit ghosts under his command had made significant progress in their cultivation.

In a short time, its strength increased by 30% to 40% compared to decades ago.

'It's a pity that my cultivation resources have been exhausted once again.'

'It seems I must set off again to seek opportunities.'

"Furthermore... judging by the time, the Myriad Realms Secret Realm, a special secret realm in my Myriad Souls Ghost Realm that only appears once every three thousand years, will also be opening soon. It would be worthwhile to go and explore that place, since it's rumored to be teeming with treasures."

The Nether Serpent Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes, and immediately came out of seclusion to inquire about the Myriad Realms Secret Realm, and also sold some things that he didn't need.

Instead, they purchased some high-level talismans and other war-prepared spiritual items to prepare for their upcoming journey.

As for the Myriad Realms Secret Realm, it is an extremely special secret realm within the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm.

Legend has it that it is a secret realm that coexists with the Ghost Realm of Ten Thousand Souls, and was born from heaven and earth together with the Ghost Realm of Ten Thousand Souls.

Both are of the same origin and are one entity.

However, the Myriad Realms Secret Realm and the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm are slightly different.

The Ghost Realm of Ten Thousand Souls is vast and its laws of heaven and earth are stable, so it has gradually developed into a sacred place for ghosts.

While the Myriad Realms Secret Realm is indeed vast, it also contains many high-level ghost veins, and even a large number of fifth-level ghost veins.

Furthermore, its laws governing heaven and earth are extremely unique, being the natural laws of heaven and earth and the laws of ghosts, making it extremely suitable for the growth of ghost plants.

Moreover, the growth rate of the ghost plants inside is several times, or even ten times, faster than that of the outside world, making it a natural spiritual plant garden.

Normally, a fifth-tier ghost plant would take thousands of years to mature, but in this case, it would only take a few hundred years.

Unfortunately, the laws governing its inner universe are extremely unstable.

Only every three thousand years or so does it become more stable, allowing outsiders to freely travel back and forth and search for opportunities.

But on ordinary days, it is like a crystal ball full of cracks.

If it were to forcibly enter, it would collapse and be destroyed in the endless river of void.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, it also contains a special secret realm space power, which from time to time will 'clean up' the native creatures that do not belong to it.

Furthermore, it is extremely averse to beings above the Nascent Soul stage.

This makes it impossible for those above the Nascent Soul level to enter, even if it happens every three thousand years.

The Myriad Souls Secret Realm has become a special place in the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm.

All the major powers wanted to control it, but none of them could.

In their early years, they even intended to use the incredibly powerful protective array of the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm to change this situation.

But it's simply impossible.

Unless one possesses greater strength, there is little chance.

In addition, as time passed, that secret realm also gave rise to a unique and extraordinary natural ghost path.

They are skilled in the ways of nature, and most of them are born spiritual plant masters.

Moreover, they are quite strong.

They can control various vegetation types, or special high-level ghost plants, to fight enemies.

Furthermore, the natural laws governing the myriad souls in the Myriad Souls Secret Realm are extremely unique, giving them a significant advantage when fighting within it.

Even ordinary external ghosts would find it difficult to defeat them in a one-on-one fight.

Fortunately, there were no sixth-order ghost veins inside, and the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm had intervened.

Therefore, no beings above the level of Nascent Soul were conceived within it.

That place could be considered barely safe.

Gradually, that place became the best place for powerful beings such as Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Core cultivators, and others to seek opportunities.

……

But as time went by, in the blink of an eye...

Several years passed.

The Myriad Souls Secret Realm has finally opened after three thousand years.

Its entrance is located in the very center of the Myriad Souls Realm, in a special valley.

The valley was also named "Valley of Ten Thousand Souls".

Moreover, due to its importance, this place is guarded year-round by powerful figures from various forces within the Ghost Realm.

To prevent evildoers from forcibly entering the Myriad Souls Secret Realm on ordinary days and causing it to collapse.

At the same time, they also intend to indirectly control that secret realm through this.

They were unwilling to let the treasures within their secret realm be easily defiled by others.

Therefore, only powerful figures like the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord, who are from the top forces of the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm, are allowed to enter the Myriad Souls Secret Realm at the start of this event.

Even so, there were still quite a few powerful individuals who entered that place this time.

After all, many powerful figures within those top-tier forces are quite interested in that place.

If you count carefully, there are over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators who entered this place this time.

There are many cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages.

Suddenly, the Myriad Souls Secret Realm was filled with numerous figures of the Ghost Path.

In addition, due to the special nature of the Myriad Souls Secret Realm, although those ghost paths all enter it through the special passage of the Myriad Souls Valley.

However, those ghost paths were all affected by the power of space and eventually scattered to different areas of the Myriad Souls Secret Realm.

This also added a bit more difficulty to the treasure hunt for those ghosts.

Moreover, the powerful forces behind those ghost paths are secretly at odds with each other.

Besides needing to be wary of the natural demons and spirits of the Ghost Realm, they also need to be wary of powerful figures from other forces, and even powerful figures from their own forces.

at the same time.

A spatial fluctuation inexplicably appeared at the edge of a dense forest in the Myriad Souls Secret Realm.

Immediately afterwards, a ripple appeared in a certain part of the void.

The next moment, the figure of the Nether Serpent Demon Lord appeared here.

"We were lucky this time; we didn't encounter any strong enemies as soon as we entered this place."

"Furthermore, judging from the situation here, this should be the territory of the Jiamu Ghost Spirit Clan, one of the three top-tier Nascent Soul natural ghost spirit forces in this area."

"It is said that the Kuimu Ghost Spirit Clan is extremely skilled at cultivating various ghost-path spirit trees, and even possesses many treasure trees for attacking ghost paths. These treasure trees are truly valuable, possessing extremely strong physiques and serving as excellent protective objects."

The Nether Serpent Demon Lord took out a map from his storage bag, which he had obtained from the sect. After carefully examining the surrounding area, a hint of greed appeared between his brows.

The laws of heaven and earth within the Myriad Souls Secret Realm are unique.

However, it will not affect the intelligence of the natural spirits in this place.

In addition, the races of natural spirits in this place are slightly different.

The natural spirits in this area evolved into three powerful clans: the Kui Mu Spirit Clan, the Cao Yuan Spirit Clan, and the Lian Du Spirit Clan.

Their abilities are all different.

The Poison Refining Ghost Spirit Clan excels at cultivating various poisonous spiritual plants, using them to fight enemies with ruthless methods.

The Grass Spirit Clan excels at cultivating flowers and plants, using their power to fight enemies. Their ghostly power is ancient and enduring, making them ideal for prolonged battles and extremely difficult to deal with.

The Kuimu Ghost Spirit Clan is skilled at cultivating ghost trees and extremely adept at warfare.

Furthermore, their lineages are all extremely complete, and many of them even include alchemists, weapon refiners, and so on.

Most importantly, their overall strength is extremely high, even comparable to the Shining Star Immortal Sect of the Heavenly River Realm.

There are at least one or two Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their Nascent Soul stage, and dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators.

They have many ordinary powerful warriors under their command.

Secondly, they have several subordinate natural spirit clans, large and small, under their command.

Upon closer examination, they are indeed quite formidable.

In addition, the Underworld Serpent King was, after all, highly skilled and daring.

In addition, it was skilled in the art of poison, and it originally planned to go to the Poison Refining Natural Ghost Spirit Clan to seek opportunities in the art of poison and improve its skills in the art of poison.

However, it was also quite tempted by the treasures on the Kui Mu Ghost Spirit's side.

It wouldn't mind acquiring some treasures from the Kui Mu Ghost Spirit clan while on its way to the Poison Refining Ghost Spirit clan's treasures.

Then, following the sect map, it quietly used a concealment technique it was extremely skilled at to sneak up near a very special high mountain.

Within those high mountains lies a fifth-grade, low-level natural ghost vein, born from a secret realm.

The natural and ghostly energy within it is extremely dense.

Moreover, it belongs to the Kui Mu Gui Ling clan.

Furthermore, the Kui Mu Ghost Spirit Clan attached great importance to this matter, and they not only dispatched two Kui Mu Ghost Spirits at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but also a large number of ordinary ghost spirits to guard this place.

They even set up a well-established, low-grade fifth-order special array to protect this place.

The defenses here are extremely strong.

But this is not enough for the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord, whose strength has recently increased significantly.

After all, its cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, it also has four spirit ghosts at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm under its command: the Rock Spirit Ghost, the Three-Headed Vajra Fiend Tiger Demon Spirit, and many ordinary demon spirits with good aptitude.

Under such circumstances, it would be absolutely certain of taking over that territory.

Then it immediately took action.

To be on the safe side, it even used a powerful fifth-grade mid-level concealing ghost treasure to conjure up a cloud of mist to cover the natural ghost land, so as not to cause too much trouble later.

This move also effectively blocks communication methods within the facility.

"A fifth-grade superior-quality Nether Serpent Gourd, a Nether Serpent Flying Sword, and a Nether Serpent Full Body Armor!"

"out!"

The Nether Serpent Ghost Lord then took out three fifth-grade high-quality natal ghost treasures that he had acquired over the years with countless efforts and by taking advantage of the convenience of the sect behind him.

However, since those three ghost treasures are of the same origin as it, the power it unleashes is relatively strong.

The Nether Serpent Armor was specially crafted to resemble its body shape, making it extremely suitable for the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord.

Moreover, it is extremely sturdy, and even a Ghost Lord in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm would need to spend a considerable amount of time to break through it.

As for the Nether Serpent Flying Sword and the Nether Serpent Gourd, they are both supreme treasures of the Poison Path.

They all contain the "Nether Serpent Ghost Poison," the natal poison mastered by the Nether Serpent Ghost Lord.

Once an ordinary person or a ghost comes into contact with it, they will be quickly corroded to death by the ghost poison, which is extremely domineering.

However, the two treasures do have slightly different attack methods.

The Nether Serpent Gourd spews out large amounts of poisonous mist to fight enemies.

The Nether Serpent Flying Sword then launched a direct attack.

In addition, the Nether Serpent King summoned his guardian spirits to help him.

"superior."

"Help me conquer that hellish land."

The Nether Serpent Demon Lord gave instructions to the guardian spirits and used soul-controlling techniques to command them to help. (End of Chapter)
