Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 91: The Big Ghost Hooks the Door
The poisonous fog in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sea returned to clarity.

A void crack opened up, and the power of [Hell Scroll] extended out, completely swallowing the remains of the sixth-grade swallow ghost.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the scroll rolled wildly, and three ghostly shadows suddenly appeared.

【Pregnant Poison Ghost】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Avoid Poison (Blue)】

……

【Flying Swallow Ghost】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Swallow Returns (Blue)】

……

【Light Ghost】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Floating (Blue)】

The three eighth-grade great ghosts are all masterpieces of the secret method of raising ghosts passed down by [Yambu Dao], and each has powerful effects.

Among them, [Poison Ghost] can avoid all kinds of poisons, [Flying Swallow Ghost] can enhance the speed and flexibility of body movements and escape techniques, and [Light Ghost] can also increase the escape speed, movement speed, sword speed and all other travel speeds.

The three big ghosts have similar attributes to the Yan ghost, so the entire smelting process is very easy and smooth.

Jing Qian waved his hand, and the three ghosts were invited onto his body, each finding an organ to merge with.

Among them, the [Poisonous Ghost] resides in the pancreas, and two ghosts that increase movement speed are located on both knees.

In an instant, his magic power increased by another 30%, and with the perfect blessing of the three magical powers, his combat power was greatly improved again.

At this point, he came to this [Sea of ​​​​Ghosts] and had successfully refined ten big ghosts.

Among them, except for two ninth-grade [Beacon Ghosts], the rest of the ghosts are all eighth-grade, and their magical powers are unique and quite useful.

It’s not that Jing Qian doesn’t want to refine a higher-level ghost, it’s just that his cultivation is not enough and he can’t refine a ghost that exceeds his own level of cultivation.

Fortunately, even though these ghosts are only at the eighth level, after he completes his cultivation and promotion, he can still accumulate resources and continue to raise these eighth-level evil ghosts until their level is improved.

Now that eight big ghosts have possessed him, his magic power has increased to 1.8 times, his physical body has been greatly strengthened, and he has the ability to avoid poison. In addition, his escape skills and sword speed have all been greatly increased.

In general, the strength has more than doubled!

This is all the magical power of the [Hell Scroll] combined with the Yamabu secret technique.

However, even in this all-round rapid progress, the magic bestowed upon the [Qingping Sword Box] by the [Lifespan] destiny is unique.

Jing Qian carefully savored the magic of the new [Sword Box] while hanging above the sea, quietly waiting for new changes in the [Sea of ​​Ghosts].

Even the sixth-grade big ghost was easily killed by him. The mark on his body had completely condensed into a dark red blood bead, hanging in front of his forehead, emitting a biting chill.

Suddenly, huge waves hundreds of feet high exploded on the sea surface, and nine black water columns shot up into the sky.

A cold wind swept over with a sharp whistle, and blue light appeared on Jing Qian's knees at the same time. His figure instantly turned into an afterimage and floated up into the sky.

He looked down and saw that nine sixth-grade ghosts had been hiding in the deep sea and were attacking him.

These nine ghosts are similar in shape, all of them are giant babies. Each of their heads is as big as a millstone, but their bodies are only about one foot long. They are abnormally twisted and intimidating.

The nine-headed ghost opened its bloody mouth, spewed out black smoke, and came towards Jing Qian to bite.

Jing Qian [Bi'an Weiyang] has an invincible escape speed, and with the blessing of two new ghosts, he is even more ethereal like smoke, and easily avoids the bite of the nine-headed ghost.

This nine-headed, sixth-grade ghost is no ordinary creature. Although they appear to be independent, they are actually nine in one [Nine Sons Connected Heart Ghost].

If it is transformed into [Fate], it corresponds to the powerful [Birthday Ghost] of the [Purple Eyes] level.

If any disciple of Yanfu can awaken a [Nine-son Heart Ghost] and refine nine [Birth Ghosts], he can deservedly become the core true disciple of the [Ghost Exorcist] lineage.

In the entire fate system of the "Exorcist" lineage, this "Nine Sons of the Heart Ghost" is the most powerful fate after the "Golden Root" and the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

When Jing Qian saw this [Nine Sons of the Heart Ghost], he also felt something in his heart and became greedy.

If he could suppress it into the [Hell Scroll], it would be equivalent to refining nine sixth-grade ghosts at one time.

This is much more efficient than slowly refining eighth-grade ghosts one by one and then gradually improving their grades.

For him, this is a gift from the Sea of ​​Wrathful Souls that cannot be refused!
Moreover, he just happened to use these big ghosts in front of him to test the new magical power of the [Qingping Sword Box]!
He condensed a [Qingping Sword Silk], summoned the magical power of the newly born [Sword Box], and slashed out.

This sword struck a Nine-Child Ghost. The big ghost, who was still alive and kicking, became stiff instantly as if it had been electrocuted and fell straight onto the sea.

Jing Qian's eyes flashed with strange light, and then eight sword threads were slashed out, cutting the remaining eight sixth-grade ghosts into a state of stiffness.

For a moment, the nine-headed ghosts lay on the ground, trembling all over, and no longer responsive.

Jing Qian laughed heartily, feeling quite happy. He immediately landed and summoned the [Hell Scroll].

The scroll suddenly extended, like a silk ribbon, tightly wrapping around the nine-headed ghosts on the sea, one by one, forming a string.

The Nine-Child Ghost was suppressed by the [Hell Scroll], and its body immediately shrank into that of a rag doll.

Then, Jing Qian dragged the nine-headed ghost and flashed into the [virtual world].

He came to the [Void Furnace], opened the furnace door, shook the scroll in his hand, and threw the [Nine Sons of the Heart Ghost] into it.

Afterwards, the [Life Toad Purifying Fire] that occupied 90% of the space in the furnace enveloped the nine ghosts.

The [Seal of the Wheeling Emperor] in the flames can be said to be the foundation of practice for the Jingqian Yanfu lineage.

It firmly suppressed the nine ghosts under the seal and was calcined together with it.

As long as he can endure this period of [Life Fire] calcination, [Inspiration] can be fully developed, the Nine Ghosts can be refined, and Jing Qian's strength will naturally reach a new peak!
He looked at the changes in the furnace with satisfaction. With the suppression of the fourth-grade [Life Fire], even if the Nine-Child Ghost woke up, it would not be able to cause any trouble.

He told Qili to keep an eye on the boiler, and in a flash he returned to the Sea of ​​Ghosts.

At this time, the blood bead on his head had turned black and purple, emitting a terrifying aura.

If the [Sea of ​​Vengeful Souls] really had consciousness, it would probably be shocked that nine-headed, sixth-grade ghosts were all suppressed by him with one sword each.

How could this be the combat power that an eighth-grade cultivator should have?

In fact, even Jing Qian himself did not expect that after he mastered the new [Sword Box] magic, it would have such a terrifying effect.

After [Lifespan] was linked to [Qingping Sword Box], it miraculously gave Jing Qian the power to use sword energy to increase or decrease the enemy's lifespan.

This was an ability beyond his imagination!
As long as he wanted, every sword strike could be accompanied by a unique magical rhyme that could shorten the enemy's lifespan.

And the lifespan that was weakened by him could also be absorbed by him through the connection of sword energy.

Of course, the conversion ratio is not high. If the enemy's lifespan is reduced by one day, only a few tenths of it can be converted to his lifespan, which is less than a quarter of an hour.

But this also gave him a unique way to increase his lifespan!
Putting aside the fate of [lifespan], in this [Yingfutu Realm], all the precious medicines that can prolong life are extremely expensive rare treasures.

His magical power of plundering life span is inestimable.

Such a life-shortening sword undoubtedly poses an extremely terrifying threat to living enemies.

However, the evil ghosts in the [Sea of ​​Vengeful Souls] have strange properties and no lifespan. Jing Qian cannot harvest any lifespan from the ghosts.

This sword that shortens life is not very effective in dealing with ghosts.

However, he also discovered that if he reversed the fate of the sword that shortened his lifespan and took out his own lifespan, it would trigger another magical effect.

He called this magical sword the Sword of Birthday Wishes. It could transfer the life span that Jing Qian had given up into the enemy's body, increasing the enemy's life span.

This unique and magical ability of sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others may seem rather useless at first glance, but if you open your mind, you will find unimaginable room for development.

What's more, after Jing Qian's personal experiment, this birthday sword can be said to be the absolute nemesis of ghosts.

Even a dead object without a lifespan can gain a sense of longevity and vitality after being struck by his sword to bless its birthday.

However, life span, which is extremely precious to living things, is no less than a top-level poison to dead things.

Jing Qian spent three months of his life to cast a birthday sword on each of the Nine Ghosts, transferring ten days of his life to each of them.

After the life force entered the body, the vitality and death energy immediately fought fiercely in the ghost's body, and actually formed a short stalemate.

The stagnation of the magic power in the body will directly drag the ghost into a state of death.

Even someone as powerful as the Nine-Hearted Ghost could be slaughtered by Jing Qian in this state.

Three months of lifespan consumed is definitely worth it!

He increasingly discovered the power of the [Lifespan] destiny!
With this sword that can shorten life and celebrate birthdays, his resource [Fate] has actually extended to a unique killing power.

Jing Qian's path of cultivation will also take a different path because of the miraculous birth of this [Sword Box].

He has already started to find out where the living creatures are more concentrated so that he can scrape out more lifespan.

Just as his brain was working extremely hard and his thoughts were flying around, a rather dangerous feeling suddenly descended upon his heart, making him feel like a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Without hesitation, he dodged and escaped into the [virtual world].

Then, a huge magical power suddenly emerged from the deep sea beneath their feet, completely freezing and suppressing this area of ​​sea.

Jing Qian was surprised to find that this time, the ghosts that emerged from the [Sea of ​​​​Ghosts] had reached the fifth-grade [Earthly Fiend] level.

Moreover, he is a fifth-grade ghost with a very deep progress in cultivation. He is a powerful ghost not far from the fourth-grade [Picking Stars].

I saw a cold-as-ice young girl wearing a white silk horse-faced skirt with gold threads. She appeared on the surface of the frozen sea for thousands of miles at some point.

She was handsome and heroic, looking no different from a living person, even retaining the movement of breathing.

Her magical aura was extremely powerful, and she easily suppressed the thousand-mile sea area, blocking Jing Qian's way to continue hunting evil spirits.

Jing Qian was well-versed in the "Yamfu Cave Dark Wheel Turning Dao Book" and was already quite familiar with all kinds of ghosts.

A ghost like the one before us, which looks no different from a living person, must have survived the fifth stage of fire burning and completed the process of cathode generating yang.

Jing Qian would definitely not be able to confront such an opponent head-on.

However, there were not many opportunities to face a fifth-grade [Earthly Evil] powerhouse, and he did not intend to waste the opportunity.

He hid deep in the dimension, tore open another crack in the void, and slashed a birthday sword at the girl.

This time, he didn't dare waste any more energy, and only added one day's lifespan to test the effect. When the sword thread pierced the sky and slashed directly at the female ghost, a magical shadow suddenly appeared on her body.

Jing Qian looked carefully and saw a big, fleshy white worm lying on the other person's back.

The big bug easily blocked the flash of his sword, without even a trace of magic power fluctuation being revealed.

His [World Solution] surged violently, taking in all the information about the giant insect:

[Inspiration: Fleshworm]

【Category: Outer Moon】

[Grade: fifth grade]

[Pressure Request: Aspect of Gods and Demons]

【Life span burden: two days/day】

This female ghost also has [Spiritual Power] with her, which makes her combat power soar.

And his own [Qing Ping Sword Qi] couldn't even pierce the opponent's [Spiritual Energy]'s oily skin, so how could he possibly win?
Jing Qian suffered a heavy loss after losing a day of his life, so he started a new experiment.

He summoned a [Beacon Imp], lent it the power of [Sumeru]'s destiny, and then stopped it in place. He himself rode on the light and flew away quickly in the dimension.

He did not stop until he was out of the range of ten miles. He drove the [Beacon Imp] to open a shallow void crack in front of the female ghost, and then quickly closed it.

However, his blatant provocation had already triggered a reaction from the female ghost.

Suddenly, a small flesh worm the size of a fingertip emerged from the [Flesh Worm] behind her, and dived into the space crack at an extremely fast speed.

This fifth-order [Earthly Evil] ghost is indeed capable of resisting the cutting of space rifts and drilling into the [Sumeru] dimension!
Jing Qian had already conducted experiments in the life monument space on the four sixth-grade soul incarnations of Luo Yaozhi, Yang Jia, Yin Gui and the demon dragon that he had just captured.

The enemy at the sixth-grade [Fu Ling] level was helpless in the face of the void rift he opened.

As the Lord of [Sumeru], the authority granted to him is enough to easily keep out the sixth-grade enemies.

But when facing the female ghost, the other party successfully stabbed a flesh worm into the [Sumeru] dimension.

After this crucial test, Jing Qian has confirmed that his own [Sumeru] destiny requires him to be more careful when facing a fifth-grade powerful person, so as not to be arrogant and be caught by the enemy.

[Beacon Imp] saved Jing Qian from a disaster, but was easily killed by the little fleshworm within the dimension and returned to [Hell Scroll].

This is not a big loss for Jing Qian, he can just summon it again at will.

However, this little fleshy worm was the first alien magical power introduced from the outside world into the [Sumeru] dimension, which aroused his great interest.

In terms of status, the little meat worm is also of the fifth-grade [Earthly Evil] rank. It has a [Golden Root Life Essence] in its body and is quite powerful.

But for Jing Qian, the opponent's strength is not enough!

He simply fled back to his original place, activated the power of the [Sumeru] dimension, and easily suppressed the flesh worm.

In this dimension, he had a huge status blessing. He treated the flesh worms as trophies and directly suppressed and refined them with the [Hell Scroll].

On the scroll, two new giant ghosts instantly evolved:
【Ghost Left Eye】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Ghost Eye (Blue)】

……

【Ghost Right Eye】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Ghost Eye (Blue)】

Jing Qian raised his hand and the two big ghosts continued to attach to his body, turning into a circle of magic power in his pupils and disappeared.

He instantly felt his eyes become clearer and his vision improved greatly.

The power of the [World Solution] fate has also been significantly enhanced.

Jing Qian was in a good mood when he got a small flesh worm separated from a fifth-grade female ghost for free!

The value of this little bug is almost as much as half a swallow ghost.

He wanted to open the void rift and try to get some free magic power from the female ghost again, but the female ghost in the real world suddenly spoke:

"Xiaobai, can you still sense the beacon of that cave?"

But the big fleshy worm on her back twisted and spoke in a childlike voice:
"My Lady, I can't sense anything. This cave seems to have just been created. The aura isn't strong, but it seems to already have an owner. My clone can't sense anything as soon as it enters!"

The ghost girl nodded and said:
"Next time I'll just throw your real body in there and try. The aura in this cave looks so weak, I'm afraid the [Tiangang Tower] hasn't set its sights on it yet."

"If I can take it, promotion to [Star Picking] will be just around the corner."

The big fleshy worm shuddered and said:
"My lady, please don't!"

"I don't know what's inside this cave yet. If I rush in, I'm afraid I'll fall into a pit of fire."

"Don't worry. Even if you die, I will fish you out of the Soul Summoning Pond."

"Just think of this as exploring the way for me. If you can really occupy this cave, I'll ask my mother-in-law for a bowl of soup for you. What do you think?"

The big meat worm was obviously convinced and twisted around without saying a word.

However, the entire conversation between the two was heard by Jing Qian who was hiding in the dark.

This female ghost seemed to have quite a background. Not only did she possess spiritual wisdom and high cultivation, but she also acted in an orderly manner. Every word she spoke contained many secrets.

I only heard the female ghost continue to say:
"The [Tiangang Pagoda] holds the title of the Divine Dynasty and uses the [Armillary Sphere] to inspect the world and suppress and plunder all the cave heavens. If there is no way to circumvent it, this newly born cave heaven will probably not be able to escape the disaster either."

"When the time comes, I will be captured by the [Tiangang Pagoda] and pressed under the pagoda, to be played with by the children of the Ying family, and I will never be able to escape."

"I do have a method that can easily avoid the demands of the Tiangang Tower. All I need to do is..."

Jing Qian was in another dimension, and faced with secrets that were closely related to himself, he was listening with great interest.

But inexplicably, a sense of foreboding arose in my heart.

How dare the other party speak out such an important secret so openly?
Jing Qian glanced at the blood bead mark hanging in front of his forehead, shuddered, activated the beacon without hesitation, and resolutely left the [Sea of ​​Ghosts].

Turning around again, he returned to [Hunzhou Island] and landed inside the Buddhist Pagoda Government Office.

He felt very bad and chose to follow his heart.

Not long after he left, a sudden change occurred in the [Sea of ​​Vengeful Souls]. From the depths of the seabed, a pure black hook suddenly stretched out and hooked towards the place where the void crack disappeared with all its strength.

"Click!"

The sound of space shattering was like glass breaking.

The end of the hook was firmly embedded in the broken space.

This hook actually broke the hard barrier between the real world and the second dimension, trying to invade [Sumeru]!
However, behind the barrier of space is an infinite vortex of time and space, within which are countless strange dimensional entanglements.

Ninety-nine percent of these dimensions are terrifying desolate places where there is no return. They can only be of use if they evolve into stable paradises.

However, it is almost impossible to find the complete cave without the guidance of beacons.

The hook aimed at the dimensional turbulence for a long time, but was unable to make a move. Finally, the spatial rift was slowly smoothed out under the pressure of the real world.

The hook was suspended in the air, and a magical phantom appeared on it, which was a beautiful bride wearing a red wedding dress with her veil slightly lifted.

The bride said:
"The fish got off the hook, what a pity!"

"This kind of wild cave is rare. I never thought that the Tiangang Tower would have such an error."

The ghost girl in white dress said:

"Mother-in-law arrived just in time. It was Pin'er who acted so poorly that she scared the boy away."

After saying that, she rubbed out an ice mirror, on which was reflected the image of Jing Qian killing the ghost.

The bride in the wedding dress answered:
"A treasure like this one is always a matter of fate. This time, it's not our destiny."

"However, this kid has killed so many great ghosts in my sea, and the marks on his body will not disappear even after a hundred years. If he dares to wander around my [Sea of ​​Wrathful Souls] again, I will be able to sense him. Maybe we will meet again someday."

The frowning ghost nodded and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma. Once I complete my final cultivation and respond to the stars, I will be able to relieve you of your worries."

The interaction between the two big ghosts was watched by a [Beacon Ghost] hidden in the dimension. Then, the ghost disappeared on the spot with a "bang".

The turmoil in the [Sea of ​​​​Ghosts] was completely resolved.

……

In the pagoda government office, Jing Qian summoned the little ghost again and analyzed the information it saw frame by frame, gaining a lot.

Two big ghosts were staring at him. If he was slow to react, he might be tricked by the big ghosts into opening the door and entering [Sumeru].

Then, he looked at the blood bead mark in the observation of [World Solution] and shook his head.

This mark must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be targeted by the big ghost and there will be no escape.

From this, it can be deduced that once I am marked by a truly powerful monk, I will not be safe even if I hide in [Sumeru]!

For his own safety, he made up his mind to take advantage of this time to forge a new [Fate].

A secret [Fate] of Yanfu that has been refined to a high level, can conceal his traces, and is highly compatible with his own [Sumeru] spatial avenue:
【Fate: Ghost Wall】

[Rank: Blue Blood]

【After many twists and turns, there is a ghost blocking my eyes! 】

After refining it, one can create a ghost domain around the body, blocking all prying eyes and distorting all interactions.

He did what he said and went straight into the [Void Realm], took out a seventh-grade [Yin Bone], and drew out a seventh-grade [Life Fire] from the [Void Furnace] and started burning.

After the promotion of [Revolving Emperor's Seal], he had ample [Destiny] gaps, and carrying a [Heavenly Destiny] was no problem for him.

He happened to have stored more than ten seventh-grade [Yin Bones], which was enough to recast [Ghost Wall] to its peak.

Everything was ready, and in just one day, the new [fate] was incorporated into his system.

A [Fate] that possesses both spatial and reincarnation attributes built a new bridge, perfectly connecting his cultivation system together.
