Chapter 372 Ghost Tai Sui, Ghost Lingzhi

Chen Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but the beat vanished without a trace. Meanwhile, his illusory body in the Three Mountains Village of the Underworld remained stunned for a moment before returning to normal.

Chen Xin frowned as he looked at the gray figure in front of him.

Sure enough, even the strongest body has weaknesses; one cannot be too complacent.

If it weren't for the illusion, he might have already developed a liking for this Ghost Heart Ancestor in front of him.

Looking at the gray figure, Chen Xin sneered.

He reached out and the staff of mourning struck directly at her.

Although the gray figure didn't know what the Staff of Sorrow was, it still began to flee.

But after running only a few steps, the gray figure was caught by a rope with barbs.

"If you like to bark so much, then bark a little longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray figure was dragged and thrown into another layer of the Netherworld. The rope disappeared, but thick bronze pillars appeared all around.

"Huh? The ghosts have finally arrived?"

As the sound rang out, the gray figure of the Ghost Heart Ancestor suddenly appeared on the bronze pillar.

"I will treat you well, my first guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, hissing sounds began to emanate from the gray figure.

The alluring voice from just moments ago has now been replaced by screams of agony, devoid of any seductive quality.

After throwing the Ghost Heart Ancestor into the Copper Pillar Hell managed by Bai Ying, Chen Xin will continue his research on Tai Sui.

As for what happened to the Ghost Heart Ancestor, he didn't care.

If you can tame it, then tame it; if you can't, just seal it into the Staff of Sorrow and make use of it.

He was originally interested in the existence of the Ghost Heart Ancestor, who was suspected to be a wise ghost, but after what just happened, his interest was greatly diminished.

While the Wisdom Ghost is rare, there are other alternatives.

Chen Xin wasn't afraid of having such a vengeful old ancestor by his side; what he feared was that the other party might bewitch underworld officials or ghosts, which would create unnecessary trouble.

So let her experience the Copper Pillar Hell for a while first, and we'll talk about it later.

Thinking this, Chen Xin suddenly noticed a change in the Yin-Yang region outside.

The Netherworld region where the Ghost Heart Ancestor resided began to merge with other Netherworld regions!

"It really is the strongest ghost in this area. So, being taken into the Netherworld can be considered the elimination of the ghosts in this area? No, it should be the separation of Ghost Heart Ancestor from Tai Sui!"

Chen Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So, you're saying I can actually bring all the ghosts and spirits from a region into the Netherworld, thus eliminating the ghosts and spirits from that region without merging it with other Netherworld regions?"

"Afterwards, we can have Huang Ying carry the Sorrow Staff and try it in a gray area. If it works, then... then it doesn't seem to be of much use."

Chen Xin suddenly received this result.

Chen Xin didn't know how vast the underworld was, but if he really wanted to do this, it would definitely take a long time.

The key point is that the ghosts and spirits in the underworld are not fixed; it doesn't mean that the area is clean just because these ghosts and spirits are gone.

no.

New evils will emerge.

Furthermore, because there are no other evil spirits, the concentration of yin energy increases, and new evil spirits will emerge more quickly!

Unless it's like the Three Mountains stronghold, which has a Yama-level warding medicine to protect the area, making it impossible for ghosts and monsters to breed within its range.

"Therefore, the key is still the talisman itself; these are just temporary fixes."

Shaking his head, Chen Xin was about to check the Tai Sui when he suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned his gaze to the distance.

In the netherworld, he saw a 'wall' that was disappearing, the very 'wall' that divided the underworld region!
That wall seemed to have pierced through the boundary between the underworld and the netherworld, truly appearing in the netherworld itself.

Before Chen Xin could react, the 'wall' disappeared.

Also disappearing was the 'wall' in the darkness of the outside world.

Chen Xin didn't focus on the rapidly changing Yin-Yang region where the Ghost Heart Ancestor was located.

"What exactly happened with that wall?"

Chen Xin was somewhat puzzled as to why the 'wall' located in the Yin-Yang region could break through into the Netherworld.

What is the relationship between that 'wall' and the underworld?
In fact, this was the second place he discovered that was connected to the underworld and the netherworld.

The first is the Yin-Yang Crack, which is the interlayer of the 'door'.

Even with the Netherworld Seal, Chen Xin was unable to stay within the crack of the 'door' and enter the Netherworld through it.

It seems that the interlayer of the 'door' is another case.

In retrospect, the mezzanine of this 'door' space should be similar to that of the 'wall'.

Suddenly, Chen Xin thought of something.

If a 'door' is the same as a 'wall', then can the Yama-suppressing object, which can repair cracks in a 'door', also repair a wall?

Driven by curiosity, Chen Xin abandoned the Tai Sui and left the Netherworld, arriving at the edge of the newly formed Yin Nether region.

The presence of Chen Xin's human aura alerted the Blood Calamities patrolling their territory in the newly merged area, and they immediately charged towards him.

But from afar, when they saw a rooster with wisps of pale flames swirling around its body appear beside Chen Xin, their innate warning as blood calamities made them stop, and then they turned and left without looking back.

Chen Xin ignored the few blood-soaked creatures and instead had Brother Chicken repair the 'wall' that was incredibly tall.

Chicken Bro didn't hesitate at all. No matter how absurd the order was, he directly used the negative virtue he had transferred from the "Complete Collection of Town-Suppressing Objects" to send the virtual fire towards the 'wall'.

It seemed as if it could really 'repair' that 'wall', and that 'wall' showed no resistance to Brother Chicken's flames.

Chen Xin glanced at the "Complete Collection of Town-Suppressing Objects" at that moment.

Even though I had already spent 100,000 points on Yin De, I still had 380,000 left, so I wasn't afraid to give it a try.

However, after 80,000 points of Yin Virtue were deposited and the wall showed no change, Chen Xin decisively cut off the input of Yin Virtue points.

The Yin-Yang Crack can be seen shrinking, but the 'wall' hasn't changed at all!
If we estimate the size of this wall based on the size of the Yin-Yang Crack, then...

Chen Xin felt that without a century of accumulation, one probably wouldn't even be able to take a second look at this wall.

And there are countless walls like these in the underworld.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin returned to the Netherworld.

Instead of studying that 'wall' that requires an unknown amount of good karma, we should study Tai Sui (the Grand Duke Jupiter).

Reaching out, Chen Xin stroked the Tai Sui.

Compared to the previous Tai Sui, which had the Ghost Heart Ancestor inside, the current Tai Sui was completely still, just like... the big banyan tree in Sanshan Village!
"Is this also a ghostly entity that has lost its sinister soul?"

Chen Xin thought about it and realized that it probably wasn't right.

If this Tai Sui itself doesn't have a soul, then it should have merged with that Yin-Yang region long ago.

In other words, this Tai Sui was originally the native blood calamity of that Yin Ming region, but after the arrival of the Ghost Heart Ancestor, it was replaced by the Ghost Heart Ancestor.

As for whether Ghost Heart Ancestor had the strength back then, Chen Xin had no doubt.

After all, the Ghost Heart Ancestor is an existence that can directly communicate with and 'assimilate' others. A god of the turbid world dealing with a blood calamity has too many methods.

Looking at the Yin creature Tai Sui, Chen Xin summoned Jiu Ri and extracted Jiu Ri's soul from the cloth dog, allowing Jiu Ri to enter Tai Sui in its soul form.

Chen Xin wanted to see if Jiuri could control Tai Sui like the Ghost Heart Ancestor.

But he was still overthinking it.

Tai Sui is not a cloth dog after all; it cannot capture any ghostly spirit within it.

The reason why the Ghost Heart Ancestor was able to merge with Tai Sui is probably related to 'assimilation'.

Perhaps the Ghost Heart Ancestor used his master's power to merge with Tai Sui. Thinking of this, Chen Xin became even more interested in the concept of 'assimilation'.

If you can use the "Complete Guide to Suppressing Objects" to suppress it, what kind of suppressing seal will you get?
I haven't thought too much about it. We'll know once we figure out 'assimilation' and do some testing...

Although Jiu Ri cannot enter Tai Sui to become a true Tai Sui, his Yin energy can activate some of Tai Sui's abilities.

In any case, Tai Sui is now considered a Yin entity, and as such, it can be controlled by Yin forces.

With that in mind, Chen Xin first brought Tai Sui out of the Netherworld and back to a small mountain not far from Sanshan Village.

Then, he let the Nine Heavens fall on the Tai Sui, gathering the Yin energy within his body to seep into it.

A few seconds later, Chen Xin saw the Tai Sui begin to sink into the mountainside.

However, the Tai Sui only went down halfway, and stopped after nine days.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Chen Xin looked at Jiuri and asked.

"No, the Yin energy within me is gone."

"..."

Chen Xin picked up the cloth dog again and smashed the nine suns into it.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Ying was summoned over.

Unlike that brat Jiuri, Huang Ying is a genuine blood calamity. In addition, the evil corpse that Huang Ying controls has a combined Yin power that far exceeds that of a single blood calamity.

Immediately, the Yin energy emanating from the mother and child corpses standing on the Tai Sui surged towards the Tai Sui beneath their feet.

Soon, the Tai Sui and the mother and child demon corpses disappeared into the mountain.

Chen Xin's consciousness had now settled within Huang Ying.

While manipulating Huang Ying to continuously channel Yin energy into Tai Sui, Chen Xin was also indirectly manipulating the special power emanating from Tai Sui.

Under Chen Xin's control, this power gradually spread throughout the entire hilltop. When the entire hilltop was under the control of that special power, Chen Xin began to manipulate it to change the structure of the entire hilltop.

Soon, a slide hundreds of meters long appeared, running from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

There are no signs of artificial excavation; the slide is like a ravine that existed when the mountain was formed.

Subsequently, a simple pavilion made of earth and stone was erected on the hilltop, near the top of the slide.

Just like the slide, the pavilion seemed to have grown naturally on the mountain; apart from its shape, there were no traces of human intervention anywhere else.

Then, Chen Xin restored Tai Sui's previous ability to dig holes, and "dug" dozens of tunnels inside the mountain, leaving the inside riddled with holes!
Although the mountain was almost hollowed out because of those passages, there was no sign of it collapsing.

The reason is that the mountain near the opened passage walls is more solid than it was before it became cave walls.

The power of the Tai Sui was not to dig away the soil and rocks out of thin air, but to compress them into the surrounding mountains.

Compared to the previous soft mountain structure, the mountain structure, which was blessed by the special power of Tai Sui, is many times stronger.

Afterwards, Chen Xin tried many more times and discovered even more of Tai Sui's abilities.

For example, using the special power of Tai Sui to shift and reposition the passages inside the mountain.

For example, using the special power of Tai Sui to make the entire mountain start to shake, Chen Xin even believed that when Huang Ying stuffed all the Yin power into Tai Sui's body, this kind of vibration was no less than an 8-magnitude earthquake.

For example, Chen Xin used Huang Ying's Yin power to stimulate the center of Tai Sui, and then Tai Sui would shoot out a smoke-like attack similar to the one that Ghost Heart Ancestor used to attack Chen Xin!

Actually, the particles in that smoke weren't sand or gravel, but rather the 'toxins' naturally present in the body of the Tai Sui.

Chen Xin found a little ghost to test it on. After the toxins landed on the little ghost, they would quickly change within the little ghost's body.

Immediately afterwards, translucent fleshy Ganoderma lucidum would grow on the areas of the little ghost's body that were attacked by the poison. After nine of them grew, the little ghost simply dissipated into the air without even emitting a wisp of smoke.

The translucent fleshy Ganoderma lucidum is something that replenishes Yin energy.

Don't ask Chen Xin how he knew, because after that thing appeared, it attracted Jiuri and Huang Ying.

Chen Xin tentatively called that thing "Ghost Lingzhi".

For Jiuri, a single Ghost Lingzhi mushroom could restore one-fifth of his Yin power, but for Huang Ying... it was better than nothing.

However, after Jiuri ate the Ganoderma lucidum, its strength seemed to increase, although the increase was very slight, but it did increase.

Afterwards, Chen Xin found a fierce demon and a blood calamity for testing. Just like before, both of them grew nine ghost spirit mushrooms and then disappeared, but the growth rate of the ghost spirit mushrooms was different.

The previous vengeful ghost grew almost instantly, while the evil spirit took a minute to emerge.

When the bloodshed occurred, Chen Xin waited for a full ten minutes!
During this process, the blood calamity was still able to resist and launch attacks. If Chen Xin hadn't used reeds to bind it, it's uncertain whether the ghost lingzhi would have been able to grow.

As for when Jiu Ri ate the Ghost Spirit Mushroom again, his strength increased more, but it seems that due to the limitation of his own level, even though he also ate the Blood Calamity level Ghost Spirit Mushroom, his strength did not increase as much as Huang Ying's.

More often, it transformed into yin energy and dissipated into the world.

Therefore, the idea of ​​quickly generating ghosts by consuming high-grade ghost mushrooms was shattered.

Chen Xin had considered trying to find a Black Abyss, but then he thought that this thing he named Ghost Tai Sui was only at the Blood Disaster level, so why should it fight the Black Abyss?

However, instead of going to find Hei Yuan, Chen Xin thought of something else.

The Ghost Tai Sui is originally a ghost; does it exist to deal with ghosts?

No, its target should be living things, all living beings!

What would happen if this kind of 'poison' from the Ghost Tai Sui were used on living beings?
Chen Xin glanced at his own body and ultimately decided not to try.

With one step, Chen Xin led Gui Tai Sui to another stronghold of the Gui Xin lineage.

This outpost is located in a city and is a nursing home.

There were even quite a few normal elderly people living in this nursing home, but the Ghost Heart Clan took control of all the caregivers, staff, and elderly people in order to conceal their existence.

Chen Xin searched around and only found five people from the Ghost Heart lineage, all of whom were in the management of the nursing home.

After his journey, Chen Xin returned to the mountain near Sanshan Village. Behind him, five members of the Ghost Heart lineage were bound to the reeds. They were unable to use their internal power and were filled with terror.

"Sir, we're all just trying to make a living under the nose of the Bureau of Investigation, there's no need for this."

The nursing home director spoke in a gloomy tone.

Chen Xin ignored it and just watched Huang Ying control the Ghost Tai Sui.

"Which organization do you belong to? Do you know who we are?"

Chen Xin was lost in thought, and wisps of 'smoke' appeared on the surface of the Ghost Tai Sui.

"Aren't you afraid of our vengeful ghosts and vengeful hearts?"

Chen Xin turned his head.

The dean thought his words had finally worked and immediately calmed himself down.

"Your Excellency, please be lenient when you can. If we have done anything wrong, please tell us. We will do our best to help. You should know the methods of the Ghost Slave Ghost Heart lineage."

The dean felt the things binding him and still didn't dare to be too aggressive.

Chen Xin looked at the dean, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Ghost slave ghost heart lineage?
Your clan leader died not long ago, did you know that?

Your ancestors are in my hands, do you know that?
Immediately, the smoke from the Ghost Tai Sui drifted towards the five people.

Amidst terrified screams, eighteen ghost-spirit mushrooms sprouted from each of the five people's bodies.

Nine of them were semi-transparent, just like the ones Chen Xin had seen when he tested the Ghost Lingzhi.

The other nine are blood red!
……

P.S.: My condition got worse and worse last night. I couldn't keep up with the writing. I had to redo what I wrote last night before I finally finished. Sorry for the long wait.

Thank you all for your monthly votes. The settlement will be made at the end of the month.
