After listening, Zhu Ganglie felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness, never expecting such a significant cause and effect to arise.

These immortals and buddhas are not all without desires or demands. In fact, their desires are even higher than those of ordinary people, such as the desire for immortality. For the sake of immortality, they can almost do anything.

The cause and effect among immortals and buddhas are the grudges and enmities that ordinary people speak of. These immortals and buddhas have lifespans ranging from several hundred to several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years.

In these lifetimes, many of them restrain their desires to reduce entanglements with others, because grudges and enmities can obstruct their minds and affect their cultivation.

For the sake of immortality and to enhance their strength, they eliminate these grudges and enmities, making their minds unobstructed. Therefore, their methods can be even more ruthless than those of so-called evil people.

Some immortals have even massacred entire countries for the sake of immortality.

So he did not expect Arhat to let him off.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's expression, Wu Xian smiled faintly: "This is the interdependence of fortune and misfortune. If you can escape from here, this cause and effect will naturally be transferred to me. However, given my current situation, you shouldn't expect much."

"Now that your five ghosts have merged into your divine soul, I will give you five ancient fierce beasts. The death aura on these ancient fierce beasts has been completely absorbed by me. You can safely refine the five ghosts and use them as your witchcraft tools."

As he spoke, Wu Xian softly chanted, and five giant beasts flew down from the Yin Mountain and stopped in front of Zhu Ganglie.

"These five giant beasts are the ancient Yinglong, the three-legged golden crow, the Zhu Yan, the golden tortoise, and the unicorn rhinoceros."

"These five giant beasts are the most powerful fierce beasts of ancient times. However, the bloodline of the three-legged golden crow is somewhat impure. The purest ten three-legged golden crows were killed by Da Yi. If you can find the blood of those three-legged golden crows, you can purify the bloodline of this three-legged golden crow."

As Wu Xian spoke, Zhu Ganglie scanned the five giant beasts, his eyes filled with a faint shock.

The Yinglong had wings on its ribs and a body like pure gold, resembling a long-necked dragon with golden wings at first glance.

However, the pure dragon aura it emitted made Zhu Ganglie dare not underestimate it.

The three-legged golden crow, though with an impure bloodline, was entirely fire-red, with a hint of gold, exuding a domineering aura that inspired reverence.

Clearly, this golden crow would not have caught Wu Xian's eye if it were not extremely powerful.

The Zhu Yan was a huge red ape with a single horn, its fur fire-red, as if burning.

The golden tortoise had a dragon's head and a turtle's body, its entire body golden. Looking at the golden tortoise, Zhu Ganglie guessed it was no weaker than the ancient Baxia.

The unicorn rhinoceros was pitch black, like dark steel, with a crescent-shaped horn that occasionally glinted coldly.

Seeing these five giant beasts, Zhu Ganglie's face lit up with joy. He immediately began to practice the Five Ghosts Heavenly King Sutra, refining the five giant beasts into two golden, one red, one golden-red, and one black skull, which circled around him, guarding him firmly.

After refining the five fierce beasts into five skulls, Zhu Ganglie saw a small bow and three small arrows appear in Wu Xian's hand.

"This is the mulberry branch bow forged from the branches of the Fusang tree, and these three small arrows are forged from the branches of the peach tree. The Fusang tree is a divine root that has disappeared, and now only this mulberry branch bow remains. You must take good care of it.

"The peach tree arrows are also extremely precious. When I stole the peach tree branches, the Queen Mother of the West chased me from Kunlun to the East Sea. That stingy woman is best avoided.

"This mulberry branch bow and the small arrows are for you to use the Nailing Head Seven Arrows Book.

"If the target of the Nailing Head Seven Arrows Book is a true immortal or above, you must use the small mulberry branch bow to shoot three peach branch arrows. First shoot the left eye, then the right eye, and finally the heart. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot escape this fate.

"Moreover, the mulberry branch bow can help you avoid cause and effect, making it impossible for others to trace the origin of the spell, so they won't pursue you. These three peach branch arrows also contain the elements of heaven, earth, and man. Remember this!"

Zhu Ganglie carefully took the mulberry branch bow and peach branch arrows, his eyes filled with joy, and carefully put them away.

Even if he didn't use them for the Nailing Head Seven Arrows Book, they could still be used as supreme magical weapons.

After putting away the five ghosts and the bow and arrows, Zhu Ganglie smiled and said, "Senior, I have some cultivation methods from various schools that you can practice in your spare time. Perhaps you can improve them, which might be helpful to you!"

Zhu Ganglie smiled and took out the White Bone Skill and the Great Strength Vajra Form Skill.

Wu Xian scanned the two cultivation methods and said, "You are quite cunning. These two methods are incomplete. I suspect your real intention is to have me improve them for you, not to have me practice them.

"However, I have nothing to do in the future, so I might as well practice these methods. If I improve them, I will let you know!"

Wu Xian took the two cultivation methods and said with a teasing smile. Realizing his thoughts had been seen through, Zhu Ganglie felt a bit awkward but took out his Fengshen Tower, transforming it into a huge white bone demon god, which mercilessly devoured the two giant beasts beside him.

"With these two giant beasts, my Fengshen Tower can become a fully perfected nine-story magical weapon, giving me a greater chance of success in the Netherworld!"

As Zhu Ganglie spoke, he directly entered the Fengshen Tower, controlling the huge white bone demon god. The four golden skulls flickered and transformed into four golden-red skull bracelets, encircling the limbs of the white bone demon god.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Zhu Ganglie felt the power of the white bone demon god reach its peak, surpassing the realm of magical weapons, possessing the combat strength of a first-grade golden core.

The power of the white bone demon god was extremely hard and powerful.

The black skull transformed from the unicorn rhinoceros directly turned into a black robe, enveloping the entire white bone demon god.

"Good, good, this combination has made your white bone even more powerful. Since that's the case, I will give you four more giant beasts. In your spare time, refine your white bone."

As Wu Xian spoke, the four giant beasts merged into the white bone demon god's body.

Then, the iron chains on Wu Xian's body clattered, and the countless giant beasts on the Yin Mountain suddenly roared in unison.

In the immense power, Zhu Ganglie saw a black portal appear in the sky above the Yin Mountain.

"Boy, stop looking and enter the Netherworld."

"Boy, I'll take my leave!"

Zhu Ganglie didn't hesitate, and the huge white bone demon god directly entered the portal, shaking and entering a strange world.

This world was dark and gray, with countless ghosts wandering the earth. These ghosts had no consciousness, only acting on instinct, or fighting each other.

These ghosts gradually strengthened their soul power and expanded their essence through mutual fighting and devouring, eventually developing intelligence and transforming into fierce ghosts.

Scanning these ghosts, Zhu Ganglie knew they were the ghosts of living beings, with no consciousness, only retaining a bit of instinct from their previous lives.

Once they developed a bit of consciousness, they would become more violent, strengthening their power until they became ghost kings.

Just seeing this, Zhu Ganglie's face twitched. Wu Xian had directly sent him to the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

To know that the Netherworld truly is the Ghost Gate, entering the Yellow Spring Road, then the River of Forgetfulness, crossing the Bridge of Sighs, and then the Platform of Longing, where they are judged by the Netherworld judges and enter the cycle of rebirth.

This is the true Netherworld, and the red spider lily grows on the Yellow Spring Road. However, Wu Xian had directly sent him to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, leaving him feeling helpless.

Ordinary living beings, after death, enter the Netherworld and follow the normal procedure to enter the cycle of rebirth. These souls are randomly sent into the cycle of rebirth through the six paths, based on their soul power and virtue, transforming into living beings.

However, many living beings have not exhausted their natural lifespan, or their soul power is too mixed to enter the six paths, so they remain in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, waiting for the opportunity to be reborn.

There are also many vicious souls and fierce ghosts who fear being reborn as animals or losing their memories, and are unwilling to enter the cycle of rebirth.

Even more so, the Netherworld captures fierce ghosts and evil souls, which are also imprisoned in the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Thus, the Eighteen Levels of Hell have gradually become known as the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Zhu Ganglie needed to find the red spider lily, and now he had to go against the flow, leaving the Eighteen Levels of Hell, entering the Hall of Yanluo, passing through the Hall of Judges, the Platform of Longing, the Bridge of Sighs, and the Yellow Spring Road, to find the red spider lily.

However, this was extremely dangerous, and a single misstep could lead to death.

Moreover, the Eighteen Levels of Hell were not easy to leave. The Netherworld is guarded by the Ten Yanluo, who are Golden Immortals. With the environment of the Netherworld, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to break through.

Zhu Ganglie sighed, wishing he had returned to the Divine Lightning Sect and asked the elders for a talisman to come here.
