As Zhu Ganglie entered the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal, he simultaneously activated the Huang Quan Pool while observing the seal. This gave him a great deal of inspiration, as the form of the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal as a magical treasure could be referenced for the Fengshen Tower.

His Fengshen Tower had nine levels, and with the addition of the four bone rings, its power had already increased significantly. If he could refine the nine ghost kings under his command and have each of them manage one level, it might further enhance the power of the Fengshen Tower.

Especially the Huang Quan Pool was worth learning from.

With this thought, Zhu Ganglie immediately took action, directly sucking the nine ghost kings into the White Bone Demon.

The nine-headed ghost king, who was currently activating the Huang Quan Pool, was startled, thinking that their lord was about to devour them.

However, as their figures flickered, they found themselves in a strange space.

In this space, a young Taoist in a white robe, with a handsome face and bright eyes, looked at them with a smile.

The nine of them, who had become ghost kings, were all people of great intellect. After the initial shock, they quickly realized what was happening and immediately knelt down, loudly proclaiming, "We pay our respects to our lord!"

Zhu Ganglie glanced at the nine ghost kings and nodded slightly. It was said that the cunning were like ghosts, and these ghost kings were indeed astute.

He then said solemnly, "You need not be surprised. I am a disciple of a major Taoist sect, and I mistakenly entered here. I am merely using the Bi Luo Huang Quan Seal to escape. This White Bone Demon is a side-path magical tool I have refined. Today, I wish to refine it again by referencing the Bi Luo Huang Quan Seal. Therefore, each of you will manage one of the nine levels of this tower and refine this magical tool.

You need not be alarmed. If this magical tool becomes a true magical treasure, you will naturally have your rewards. I will help you achieve the status of ghost immortals, and as long as this magical treasure remains, you will have eternal life."

After Zhu Ganglie finished speaking, he did not wait for their response. With a flick of his hand, the seeds of the seventy-two talismans of the Lesser Cloud Prohibition were transmitted into their minds.

The nine ghost kings, who received the Lesser Cloud Prohibition, were all overjoyed, knowing that these refinement methods were extremely precious.

The nine of them, who had become ghost kings, were all cultivators in their previous lives who were unwilling to lose their cultivation and thus fought in the Netherworld. Some had gained a bit of intelligence after death and pieced together some cultivation methods to achieve their current status as ghost kings.

The battles and devouring, the dangers and hardships, were truly indescribable to outsiders.

Even so, the nine-headed ghost king did not have the methods to refine magical tools and could only fight using ghost qi.

Therefore, they were even more delighted to receive these refinement methods.

Knowing that Zhu Ganglie was from a major Taoist sect, they felt a glimmer of hope and more genuine loyalty towards him.

Because everyone knew that if not for the Netherworld, these disciples of major sects would not pay attention to them, and if they did, it would likely be to kill them.

At that moment, they all bowed in unison, "We are willing to serve our lord!"

"Hmm, if you perform well in the future, you will have your rewards!"

With a flick of his hand, Zhu Ganglie sent the nine ghost kings into each of the nine levels of the Fengshen Tower. Their vast ghost qi permeated the tower, beginning the refinement process.

Although the nine ghost kings were only equivalent to seventh or eighth-grade Golden Core cultivators in the mortal world, they were still Golden Core cultivators, capable of founding sects.

With their help, the power of the entire Fengshen Tower was directly enhanced, reaching the strength of a third-grade Golden Core cultivator.

The power of the White Bone Demon, which the Fengshen Tower had transformed into, also increased significantly.

The spirit of the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal also noticed this, but seeing that the White Bone Demon had absorbed the nine ghost kings and greatly increased in strength, it did not interfere.

Because in the Netherworld, it was common for larger ghosts to devour smaller ones, and ghost kings to devour larger ghosts.

With the increased power of the White Bone Demon, he was overjoyed. Now he had nine Golden Core cultivators continuously refining the Fengshen Tower.

This way, it would only take a few hundred years for the four bone rings to achieve the nine-layer prohibition, and the Fengshen Tower would definitely become a magical treasure.

After the nine ghost kings entered, the White Bone Demon's massive bone claws dipped into the Huang Quan Pool, seemingly slowly absorbing ghost qi and activating the pool.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ganglie secretly deduced the prohibitions and refinement methods of the Huang Quan Pool.

During the deduction, Zhu Ganglie's mind slightly condensed. The prohibitions of the Huang Quan Pool were actually the Great Cloud Prohibition, a secret technique of major Taoist sects.

It seemed that the old man Huang Quan had a deep background, otherwise, he would not have obtained the seeds of the Great Cloud Prohibition talismans.

In addition to the Great Cloud Prohibition, the structure of the Huang Quan Pool was also extremely unique. At least with his current cultivation, Zhu Ganglie could not discern its structure or replicate it.

These circumstances made Zhu Ganglie deeply wary of the old man Huang Quan.

"Three days in the Netherworld, we will break through and leave this place, heading to the mortal world. All ghost kings and ghost immortals must not hold back. Otherwise, if caught by the yin officials, it will be an eternal calamity, and even death will be difficult!"

An old voice slightly shouted, making Zhu Ganglie's heart tighten, knowing that it was time to leave the Netherworld.

He immediately gathered his thoughts and began to activate the Huang Quan Pool in front of him. When the dim Netherworld sun in the first layer of the Netherworld had passed three layers,

Zhu Ganglie felt the entire seal shake violently, breaking through the space. With a slight sweep of his magical power, he saw the entire seal crash through the first layer of space, trying to break out!

"Bold! You are deeply sinful, yet you dare to escape!"

A thunderous roar echoed in Zhu Ganglie's ears.

Then, massive ghosts, each a thousand feet tall, with pitch-black bodies, appeared in the space. They wore black cloaks and held huge scythe magical tools, slashing fiercely at the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal.

The entire seal shook violently, and some weaker ghost kings were directly shattered.

At this moment, Zhu Ganglie found that the Huang Quan Pool in his hand was violently churning, and a layer of Huang Quan appeared outside the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal.

The seal broke through the yin officials' blockade again, crashing into the black sky and disappearing.

Feeling the change in space, Zhu Ganglie suddenly discovered that the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal had left this layer of the Netherworld and entered the underworld.

"Moo!"

Just as everyone was about to rejoice, a massive bellowing sound came, and a bull-headed, human-bodied yin official, holding a chain, transformed into a thousand-foot giant, forming a fist and striking the seal, shattering the Huang Quan.

As the seal spun, a horse-faced, human-bodied yin official slashed with a large knife.

A huge crack appeared in the seal, and the Huang Quan Pool he was activating was also shattered.

"Bad!"

Zhu Ganglie was greatly alarmed, not because of the crack in the seal, but because when the seal was severely damaged, a massive force erupted, shattering all the ghost soldiers and ghost kings, turning them into pure ghost qi to nourish the seal, greatly enhancing its power.

The shattered Huang Quan Pool he was managing also slowly repaired itself.

Moreover, this force began to seep into the White Bone Demon, making Zhu Ganglie's face turn pale with anger. He did not hold back, taking this opportunity to escape the seal.

The five ghosts grew to enormous size, transforming into five giant beasts, directly breaking open the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal. The Heavenly River's freezing cold energy also transformed into a surging river, wrapping around the White Bone Demon and rushing out.

In this moment of departure, the White Bone Demon's massive hand grabbed the Huang Quan Pool he managed.

At this moment, the Heavenly River, the five giant beasts, and the massive force instantly broke through the Bi Luo Huang Quan Great Seal's blockade, entering the underworld.

"Boy, I remember your aura. Whether in heaven or on earth, I will eliminate you!"

An angry roar echoed in Zhu Ganglie's ears.

But at this moment, Zhu Ganglie did not care about the old man Huang Quan. The horse-faced yin official's single slash had shattered a magical treasure, and besides his own terrifying strength, the bone knife in his hand was likely a spirit treasure.

This was the perfect time to leave while the old man Huang Quan was preoccupied with these terrifying beings.

Moreover, this commotion would surely cause chaos in the underworld.

He could take the opportunity to obtain the彼岸花 (Pianhua) and leave.

He immediately gathered his strength, breaking through the Wangxiang Terrace, the Naihe Bridge, and stepping onto the Huang Quan Road, reversing out. As long as he picked the Pianhua, he could leave and return to the mortal world.
