On the Avenue.

Chapter 359 I caught you
Chen Shi once again returned to Tianchi Kingdom and took over the body of a skeleton. He felt that the skeleton's cultivation had improved a lot. The Blood Lake Hell became more vast, and there were many more ghosts and gods.

The strength of the skeleton's body is also incredibly amazing, with all kinds of strange textures appearing on its surface.

Chen Shi even felt that the skeleton's cultivation had surpassed his original body!
This skeleton body plus the blood lake hell has almost reached the level of fusion realm or even the three corpse realm!

"The speed of practicing the Blood Lake Sutra is too fast."

He couldn't help but marvel at it. However, the reason why the speed of practicing the Blood Lake Sutra was so fast was that Chen Shi's starting point was too high. He was close to the fusion realm, but he didn't enter the fusion realm because of the invasion of evil spirits. Secondly, he had a constant supply of divine blood as a backing. Thousands of divine corpses were hanging on the Wuliang Cliff, and the divine blood was inexhaustible.

The third reason is that the Blood Lake Scripture is indeed an extremely domineering martial art. It can take the blood and energy of others for one's own use, which is equivalent to plundering the other party's cultivation and turning it into one's own!

"It won't be long before this body of mine can compete with the strong ones in the Spirit Refining Realm or even the Return to Void Realm!"

Chen Shi's original spirit entered the skeleton's body, and he felt that his soul was also improving.

The Blood Lake Sutra did not improve the primordial spirit much, the most important thing was to improve the soul. Now Chen Shi's soul has surpassed three feet and reached ten feet.

The attainment of the primordial spirit also rises accordingly, and there is even a tendency for the soul to suppress the primordial spirit!

If he enters the fusion realm, the dojo, the soul and the physical body will be united into one, and he will become a ten-foot-tall god or devil-like being!
But up to now, Chen Shi still dare not step into the fusion realm.

He can clearly sense the evil energy between heaven and earth. If he enters the fusion realm, the trend of becoming evil will be unstoppable!

"How can I avoid becoming evil?" He sat on the throne, lost in thought.

In the past few days, many skeleton ghosts have appeared in the Tianchi capital, creating a unique sight in the capital.

These skeleton ghosts put up recruitment notices, and many little yakshas, ​​ox-headed and horse-faced ghosts come running over in groups. The skeleton ghosts then take out strange pieces of paper with the structures of buildings and other structures drawn on them.

The ghosts discussed with each other and explained what they were going to build to the little Yaksha. The little Yaksha nodded with a serious look on their faces, and then they started to build pavilions and terraces. After a few days, a Juxian Tower rose from the ground in the capital of Tianchi.

On the day when Juxianlou was opened, ghosts and gods from various tribes in the capital came to watch the fun. They saw that what was sold in Juxianlou were rare things from the world of the living, such as fine fabrics, mirrors and spices for dressing, head ornaments, pendants and other exquisite items.

These things are usually not seen in Tianchi Kingdom, and caused a sensation. Many ghosts crowded into the Juxian Tower, intending to buy these rare items from the world of the living.

Juxianlou does not accept money from incense offerings. It only accepts things unique to the underworld, such as the gloomy flowers and the soul-resurrecting lotus. Of course, soft and useless scrap metals such as gold and silver are also accepted.

The business of Juxianlou was extremely hot for a while, and everything sold in the building was sold out.

In the underworld, spiritual medicines such as the Gloomy Flower and the Resurrection Lotus are also quite rare, but it is much easier for ghosts and gods to obtain these things than for cultivators. Some ghosts and gods even specially open up a swamp to plant the Resurrection Lotus.

When the Juxian Tower received these elixirs, they were immediately sent to the human world. After being refined by the Yaowang Sect, they became elixirs that could prolong life and appeared in Juxian Towers everywhere. It wouldn’t take long for them to be transformed into wealth.

Shao Jing found Li Tianqing and said, "The goods we transported from the world of the living are in short supply. Simply relying on bribing the underworld officials is too little and troublesome to transport. I heard that your majesty has a magic weapon called the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword and a wooden cart. Perhaps we can use these two treasures to transport goods to the underworld."

Li Tianqing said: "I will go with you to the world of the living and borrow this treasure."

The two men came back to life and arrived at Huangpo Village. Wu Qingyu heard about their purpose and lent them the wooden cart and canopy.

The two of them compared the geographical map of the Yin and Yang worlds created by Grandma Sha, trying to determine the location of Yinshan Mountain in Qianyang Mountain, and came to the mountain.

Li Tianqing checked the geography of the two worlds, compared them, and said, "It should be this place."

He raised the canopy, and under the canopy, a ray of sword light like a silver fish flashed, and the sword light was like a nine-bend spring, penetrating deep into the underworld.

The two men followed the spring into the underworld, looked around, and frowned.

"No, no! The geographical location doesn't match!"

The two returned to the world of the living. Li Tianqing once again checked the geographical map and selected several possible locations. He once again raised the Youquan Youlong Sword and entered the underworld, but still could not find the location of Tianchi Kingdom.

The two changed several places, but when they entered the underworld, they still couldn't find the Tianchi Kingdom.

Li Tianqing said: "Take this sword to the underworld! From the underworld, sacrifice this sword and enter the world of the living, then you can determine the exact location of Tianchi Country!"

The two men immediately came to Yaowang Gate, took medicine to fake their death, and their spirits took the sword into the underworld. They then bribed the underworld messenger and were sent to Tianchi Kingdom.

The two men attached themselves to their own skeletons. Li Tianqing sacrificed his sword, and the sword light split the void. The two men flew in, passed through the crack, and came to the opposite world, only to see a vast expanse of land surrounded by ghosts and gods.

"No! This is still the underworld!"

Li Tianqing looked around and exclaimed, "This should be the underworld of Qianyang Mountain! The underworld... has two levels!"

The two looked at each other and saw each other's horror.

The underworld near Qianyang Mountain is most likely two underworlds overlapping each other. The first underworld is the underworld of Xiniu Xinzhou, and the second underworld is the underworld where Tianchi Kingdom is located!

The two underworlds actually overlap!

This is the reason why Li Tianqing could not find Tianchi Kingdom even after offering sacrifice to the sword.

Part of the space in these two underworlds intersects with each other, causing ghosts and spirits to coexist.

But there are many places that do not intersect, but just overlap, such as Yinshan Mountain!
The two found Chen Shi and told him about this.

Chen Shi was very surprised. He had long noticed that the underworld near Qianyang Mountain was a little abnormal and it was impossible to accommodate the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Qianyang and Yinshan used to have a yin-yang opposition. Li Tianqing's discovery made him feel that the simple yin-yang opposition could not explain this phenomenon.

"Perhaps someone can explain this matter. Just follow me!"

Chen Shi brought the two to the tribe of the Thunder Ape Ghost Clan. After listening to their purpose, Chief Lei Qu pondered for a moment and said, "According to the poems handed down by our tribe, the place we are in is actually the world of the living."

Chen Shi, Li Tianqing and Shao Jing looked at each other, puzzled.

Chief Leiqu said: "The poems handed down say that when the first life died, the underworld was born. He stood in the underworld and watched his relatives and friends in the world cry out of grief. He called out to them, but they could not hear his voice. The Yin and Yang were separated and could not communicate with each other. When the disaster occurred, the Yin and Yang merged and it was difficult to tell them apart."

Li Tianqing asked: "What disaster?"

Lei Tong said: "The sun went out, the moon disappeared. The catastrophe began. We, the ghosts, chose to forget the language and survive, and survived with difficulty in the Yinshan area."

Li Tianqing frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Shao Jing couldn't help but say, "The sun in our world is setting earlier and earlier, and the nights are getting longer and longer..."

Having said this, he paused and did not continue.

The ghost clan’s sun went out, the yin and yang worlds merged into one, and there was no sunlight from then on.

Will people in the world of the living also experience this scene?
Will there be a scene where the yin and yang worlds are compatible?
They felt vaguely uneasy.

Lei Tong said: "The former king led the elders of the Xiangfang Ghost Clan out because he heard that an immortal appeared in Yinshan Mountain, who was said to be the predecessor of the Ghost Clan. He went to search for the immortal and wanted to find out what happened that year, but he met with an unexpected event."

He looked at Chen Shi deeply and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that there is a mysterious force that prevents those who try to find out the truth. The leader of the Tianchi Ghost Country has already died, and we cannot have a second leader die because of this."

Chen Shi thanked him for his kindness.

The three of them said goodbye and came to the streets of the capital.

Chen Shi looked at the various ghosts on the street. They had never seen the sun for years and looked horrible. Although they had supernatural powers, they did not live a good life. They might have been gods before, but now they were no different from ghosts.

If the same thing happened in the world of the living, how many people would survive?

At this time, Li Tianqing asked in confusion: "Is there a Heaven Listener here too?"

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and several sky listeners landed on the eaves near them, with their ears facing them.

"The Heavenly Eavesdropper is truly omnipresent and can penetrate any hole! He used to eavesdrop on the former king, and now he's starting to eavesdrop on me..."

Chen Shi paused when he spoke here, thinking, "When the former king died, there were many Heavenly Listeners who flew to the palace! This shows that what the former king did attracted the attention and importance of the Heavenly Listeners! And the former king went to look for the legendary ghost immortal! This should be the incident that alerted the Heavenly Listeners! Maybe the death of the former king is also related to these Heavenly Listeners."

His eyes flashed.

The former king was extremely powerful. He was a strong man with the awakened bloodline of the Xiangfang Ghost Clan. His strength was probably not weaker than that of the ancestors of the thirteen families!
Coupled with the many elders of the Xiangfang Gui tribe, this force should not be underestimated!

The appearance of the ancient immortal is also a matter of great importance!
Then the person responsible for this matter is definitely not an ordinary heaven listener!
"There is a big fish in the capital of Tianchi." Chen Shi retracted his gaze and said to himself.

Li Tianqing suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiao Shi, these days, I have been listening..."

Chen Shi shook his head slightly, and Li Tianqing understood and didn't continue.

They returned to the palace. Chen Shi stood in front of the palace and looked into the distance. He saw that from time to time in the capital of Tianchi, there were sky listeners flying up and down, flying up again, and then falling again. The people of the ghost tribe seemed to have long been accustomed to them and turned a blind eye.

Shao Jing went to take care of his own affairs, while Li Tianqing stayed in the palace. The two of them observed the rise and fall of the listeners in front of the palace these days.

For several days they remained motionless.

"Found it!" Li Tianqing said first.

He has stronger observation skills and a more delicate mind, and was the first to find out the rules of the heavenly listeners.

Chen Shi immediately walked out and said in a deep voice: "Since you have come to my territory, it will not be easy to leave without my permission!"

The big belly fell, and a little yaksha skillfully used a fork to pick up the bundle and walked out. There were many little yakshas like him, who worked one day and rested for three days. After getting a day's wages, they went out to eat, drink and have fun, and when they spent all the money, they came back to find another job.

As it walked forward with its head lowered and was about to walk out of the big belly, a pair of feet appeared in front of it. There was no flesh and blood on the soles of the feet, only toe bones.

"Little Yasha, long time no see."

A voice sounded above him, "Shouldn't you be working in my Yuanchen Palace? Why did you come here? Yes, you also cheated me of a lot of incense money! Where is my money?"

The little Yaksha shivered and looked up, and saw King Chen wearing a fur cloak and a crown, staring at it.

The little Yaksha stepped back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you recognized the wrong Yaksha? We little Yakshas all look the same..."

Another voice came from behind it: "Every little Yaksha looks different. People with a delicate mind can see this."

The little Yaksha looked back and saw Li Tianqing standing behind it, blocking its retreat.

The little Yaksha quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Majesty, I didn't dare to touch a single cent of your money. I will just return it to Your Majesty!"

It hurriedly took off its bag and was about to take out the money when it suddenly saw the leader of the Big-Belly Ghost Clan appear not far away, and a shadow appeared above its head. It looked up and saw the leader of the Thunder Ape Clan standing in the clouds, guarding the sky.

In addition, there were several ghost clan leaders walking towards this side from different directions.

The little Yaksha sighed, did not take the incense money, and said with a smile: "You found me after all."

Its body gradually changed, slowly transforming from a short and ugly little demon into a dignified and delicate girl with a round and fair face, delicate features, thin and curved eyebrows, a slight blush on her cheeks, and a bit of charm.

Her clothes were different from those of the Ming Dynasty. She wore a transparent long gown on the outside, which was extremely thin, and a pink dress on the inside, which was slender and fitted, showing off her charming waist.

Chen Shi stretched out his hand and asked, "Where's my money?"

The girl laughed softly and said, "I am a living person just like you. Your paper money is useless to me, so I really didn't spend it."

She took out a lot of paper money, which was from Chen Shi's Yuanbao tree. When he was in Xiandu, Chen Shi saw that this little Yaksha had worked for him for three years without receiving any money, and felt sorry for it, so he gave most of the paper money from the Yuanbao tree to it.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the little Yaksha ran away with the money and disappeared without a trace!
Chen Shi took back the paper money, and his tone softened a little, saying, "What's your name, young lady?"

"No worries."

The girl smiled sweetly and said, "Wen Wu Yu."

Chen Shi nodded gently to prevent the crown from falling off, and said, "Miss Wen, follow me."

Wen Wu Yu followed him.

Lei Qu and other clan leaders followed closely.

Chen Shi waved his hand, signaling them to leave, and walked leisurely. Unknowingly, they arrived at the Tianchi Lake next to the capital. The lake was calm, reflecting the two people's reflections.

Chen Shi said, "Miss Wen, isn't Despair Hill aloof from the world? Why would it interfere in worldly affairs and kill the former ruler of Tianchi?"

Wen Wu Yu bent down, gently stretched out his delicate hands from his sleeves, gently fiddled with the lake water, shook his head and smiled, "People from Despair Hill will not easily interfere in the world. For example, Lord Fu did not die under my arrangement, but died at the hands of an immortal."

Chen Shi's heart was slightly shocked: "Immortal? There really is an immortal in Yinshan."

Wen Wu Yu smiled but did not answer.

Chen Shi did not continue to ask, and asked: "So, when will Despair Hill intervene?"

"When the world is without justice, and devil flowers are blooming everywhere, and the true god is about to destroy the world, Despair Slope will take action to restore order and stop the true god from destroying the world."

Wen Wu Yu looked at the lake in the distance and said quietly, "Many people have misunderstandings about Despair Hill, thinking that Despair Hill must be the mastermind behind the rule of the world. Even the Thirteenth Family thinks so."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Actually not?"

"Of course not."

Wen Wu Yu stood up and said seriously, "The word 'despair' in Despair Hill actually refers to the despair of the true god destroying the world. It is the struggle before the great despair comes, and it is a feat of saving the world. Saving people from despair and continuing civilization and life, this is the purpose of Despair Hill."

Chen Shi couldn't help but stand in awe: "I didn't expect Despair Hill to be such a noble place. I admire you!"

Wen Wu Yu smiled and said, "Ignorance is not a crime. I sent the Heaven Listener to monitor the human world in order to prevent the accumulation of evil spirits and cause the true gods to destroy the world. Unfortunately, the actions of the Heaven Listener are often misunderstood."

Chen Shi changed the subject and said, "Since the Hill of Despair is so noble, why did you cut off my innate Dao fetus?"

Wen Wu Yu fell silent.

Chen Shi landed on the lake and walked towards the center of the lake. He said calmly, "Go ahead. I want to see how powerful my innate Dao fetus is."
