Chapter 79

After Zhu Ganglie understood his situation, he calmed his mind and summoned Dou Tai from the Fengshen Tower.

Dou Tai had been training the battle souls he had captured on the grassland day and night.

Now, the eight hundred battle souls had developed a certain level of combat power, making them suitable for traveling and gathering information in this Netherworld.

Zhu Ganglie immediately instructed Dou Tai and the eight hundred battle souls to gather information from various places.

Zhu Ganglie then refined the four giant beast corpses given to him by Wu Xian into four large bone rings.

His accidental act of entangling the Five Ghosts around the White Bone Demon God had greatly enhanced its power.

Now, it was the perfect time to refine these four giant beast corpses into true bone rings, which might elevate the White Bone Demon God, bound by the nine-layer great restriction, to the level of a magical treasure.

If this were true, his own strength would increase significantly. With a flick of his finger, the Primordial Fire from the Yuan Yang Ruler shot out, refining the four iron-armored giant beast corpses into four bone rings.

Using the Nine Heavens Seal Restriction, he refined these four bone rings with one layer of restriction, making them replace the Five Ghosts to entangle around the White Bone Demon God.

With these four bone rings with one layer of restriction, the White Bone Demon God's strength subtly increased. After all, the five giant beast skeletons did not have any restrictions; they merely continuously unleashed the immense power inherent in the giant beast corpses.

Therefore, both the Five Ghosts Heavenly King Sutra and the Ten Directions Hell Path required the corpses of ancient fierce beasts as a basis, otherwise, they could not reach a powerful realm.

Currently, Zhu Ganglie had only managed to enhance the Five Ghosts Heavenly King-level giant beasts to a level equivalent to his own strength. The only difference was that these giant beasts possessed powerful magical abilities.

Through the refinement of these four bone rings, Zhu Ganglie gained a clear understanding. If these four bone rings were also refined to the nine-layer restriction, his Fengshen Tower could be transformed into a magical treasure.

This gave Zhu Ganglie great confidence. Although refining to the nine-layer restriction would take a lot of time, it was a huge surprise to have a clear path.

After all, the birth of a magical treasure required great fortune, not just time.

Many cultivators could spend hundreds of years refining a magical tool to the nine-layer great restriction, but it would take thousands of years to refine such a tool into a magical treasure, and for some, it could take ten thousand years.

This gave Zhu Ganglie great hope.

After successfully refining the four bone rings, Zhu Ganglie found that Dou Tai and the others had returned. However, out of the eight hundred battle souls, only five hundred returned. His brows furrowed slightly, realizing how perilous this Netherworld was.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie emerge from his seclusion, Dou Tai immediately reported, "Your Highness, we have investigated clearly. This is the first layer of hell. To leave here, we must find the Netherworld Palace of this layer, as only there is the passage to the Yama Palace!"

Zhu Ganglie nodded, his eyes flickering. "What about the other three hundred battle souls?"

"Your Highness, a few thousand miles to the west, there is a small city. A Ghost King attacked us!"

Dou Tai said with a mix of anger and helplessness.

"Ghost King?"

Zhu Ganglie sneered. It was a Ghost King who had condensed a ghost core, which was quite novel. These ghost cultivators were similar to ordinary ghost cultivators.

They all relied on devouring evil ghosts to enhance their yin energy, eventually condensing a ghost core. Although this ghost core was somewhat similar to the Golden Core of the Daoist sect, it was not comparable.

Strictly speaking, it was equivalent to the Golden Core realm.

However, the highest cultivation level for ghost cultivators was the Spirit Realm, also known as Ghost Immortals. At this level, these Ghost Immortals could serve as officials in the Netherworld or become Netherworld soldiers.

However, once these Ghost Immortals left the Netherworld, they could not achieve immortality unless they passed the heavenly thunder tribulation, in which case they could only remain in the Netherworld.

Zhu Ganglie was now completely in the dark about the Netherworld, and it was the perfect time to take action against this Ghost King. The White Bone Demon God leaped forward, transforming into a black light heading toward the city.

With a few leaps, Zhu Ganglie arrived at the black city. The city was built from large black bones, with numerous fierce ghosts with grim faces gnawing and roaring.

Zhu Ganglie scanned the city, a cold smile on his lips. Without bothering to ask, the White Bone Demon God suddenly grew to a hundred feet tall, coldly overlooking the black city.

The massive aura directly suppressed the city.

In an instant, countless fierce ghosts howled and charged at Zhu Ganglie.

The Ghost King rose, a black ghost core spinning in his hand, shouting, "Who dares to violate the territory of the Yin-Yang Law King!"

"I am the Five Ghosts Heavenly King. Will you submit to me?"

Zhu Ganglie scanned the Ghost King, his voice cold, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

The White Bone Demon God's bone claw emerged from the black robe, reaching for the Yin-Yang Law King. Seeing Zhu Ganglie attack instantly, the Yin-Yang Law King shouted, and the massive black city floated up, blocking in front of him.

However, with a series of cracking sounds, the black city wall shattered, and the Yin-Yang Law King was directly pinched between Zhu Ganglie's fingers.

"I submit! I submit!"

The Yin-Yang Law King was terrified, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at the massive White Bone Demon God under the black robe, immediately sending his life force into the White Bone Demon God.

"Good!"

Zhu Ganglie coldly said, the White Bone Demon God shrinking to human size and landing below the black city.

"Yin-Yang Law King, I want to leave this layer of the Netherworld and go to the Yama Palace. Is there a way?"

Zhu Ganglie, hidden under the White Bone Demon God, looked at the Yin-Yang Law King with a faint smile, the two large eye sockets of the White Bone Demon God flickering with flames, giving the Yin-Yang Law King an unprecedented sense of awe.

"Leaving the Netherworld can only be done through the Netherworld Blood Pool in the Netherworld Palace, but it is guarded by Netherworld Yin Soldiers, and no ghost cultivator dares to go there, not even the most powerful Ghost Immortals.

Another method is to cultivate your own Netherworld Blood Pool."

The Yin-Yang Law King's words made Zhu Ganglie ponder. However, at this moment, the Yin-Yang Law King's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, there is actually another way. The Yellow Spring Elder is recruiting troops, preparing to break through the Netherworld's blockade and return to the mortal world! I originally intended to join his sect, so I was gathering intelligent ghosts to form a ghost army and head there!"

"Yellow Spring Elder? Is he a Ghost Immortal? Why do these Ghost Immortals want to leave the Netherworld? Once you leave here, you might disappear due to the end of your lifespan!"

Zhu Ganglie muttered, his eyes filled with doubt. However, Zhu Ganglie did not notice that the Yin-Yang Law King's face turned pale, seizing on the loophole in Zhu Ganglie's words.

At this moment, Zhu Ganglie also realized the slip in his words, glaring at the Yin-Yang Law King and pressing him with a subtle force.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Spring Elder is indeed a Ghost Immortal. He has a magical treasure called the Green Heaven Yellow Spring Seal. With the combined power of ghost cultivators, he can break through the Netherworld's blockade.

To resist the pursuit of the Netherworld, he also needs a large number of ghost cultivators, so he is recruiting extensively.

Your Majesty may not know, but although the Netherworld allows ghost cultivators to live long, it is filled with great dangers. Battles are ongoing, and many Ghost Immortals are devoured in these struggles.

However, the mortal world is different. There is a large amount of blood food that can enhance our cultivation, and there are many cultivation techniques that might help us find a way to extend our lifespan.

Moreover, Ghost Immortals can abandon their cultivation and possess the body of a fetus, reborn as a human, and cultivate anew!

They can even pass through the nine layers of thunder tribulation!"

As the Yin-Yang Law King spoke, his expression was filled with boundless enthusiasm, making Zhu Ganglie coldly laugh.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's cold laugh, the Yin-Yang Law King immediately knelt and said, "Your Majesty, this small king has condensed a ghost core and has the cultivation of a Ghost King. I beg Your Majesty to impart cultivation techniques so that I can cultivate into a Ghost Immortal and will swear to serve you with my life."

Hearing the Yin-Yang Law King's words, Zhu Ganglie pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, this is the refinement method for the Heaven-Chaos Banner. Refine it, and you will have a powerful means.

After refining it, follow me to find the Yellow Spring Elder."

As he spoke, Zhu Ganglie transmitted the refinement method for the Heaven-Chaos Banner from the Seven Kill Sutra to the Yin-Yang Law King, reserving the rest for the appropriate time.
