One day later, Formless Mountain.
This was a ghostly mountain that was ten thousand meters tall. It was filled with barren mountains and unruly rivers, and above the mountain was a black hole that connected to Hell. Since ancient times, this had been a place where humans had disappeared. There was no life here, and it was filled with ghostly qi.
However, today was different. The Qingyang City army had arrived with great momentum, scaring the Dark Ghosts into fleeing.
Unfortunately, before these Dark Ghosts could escape, Xia Ping acted and instantly froze the entire mountain, turning it into an ice mountain. Anything within this mountain would be frozen into an ice sculpture.
As for the Dark Ghosts left behind, they naturally could not escape and were killed by the Qingyang City soldiers. However, there were not many Dark Ghosts left behind, only ten thousand, and their strength was only average.
As such, Xia Ping did not obtain much soul energy, but it was better than nothing.
The Qingyang City soldiers felt that it was a pity. They had wanted to kill the Dark Ghosts to show Lord Xia their bravery, but before they could do anything, the Dark Ghosts had been wiped out by Lord Xia.
The only thing they could do was to clean up the Formless Mountain, plunder the treasures, and carry the treasures back from the Formless Mountain as porters.
"It looks like these Dark Ghosts have collected a lot of treasures."
Xia Ping came to a flat area where a large number of treasures from Formless Mountain's treasury were piled up. He immediately noticed an enormous black jade stone placed to the side.
This was actually a bed that had been found in the Formless Ghost King's room. It gave off a terrifying netherworld aura, and ordinary people would get frostbite if they approached it. Even the ground was frozen.
"Korin, do you know what this is?"
Xia Ping asked.
Korin glanced at it and said excitedly, "If I'm not wrong, this is a Hell Frost Stone. It contains the frigid netherworld aura of Hell and is extremely cold. It is one of the wondrous stones of heaven and earth. This is an incredible treasure. If you take it out to auction, you can sell it for at least a few billion Universe Dollars. After all, there are too few treasures from Hell.
However, I suggest that you don't auction it off. If you sell a treasure like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it again. True top-notch treasures can't be bought with money. You can only barter with other items. "
"Auction? Of course not. I plan to use it for cultivation. "
In fact, as soon as Xia Ping saw this stone bed, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Underworld Force in his body began to tremble. It had a strong desire, and it could not wait to devour this ice bed immediately.
The Ninth Heaven Mysterious Dark Force was one of Mingyue Court's Saint-level skills. It was extremely powerful and could devour all kinds of Ice Qi in the world. The more Ice Qi it devoured, the more powerful the skill would be.
If he swallowed the Hell Frigid Stone, the power of his Nine Heavens Mysterious Underworld Force would increase by several folds. Once the Frigid Ice Qi was released, it could even freeze the souls of his enemies.
This was the terrifying aspect of Hell's Cold Qi. Even ordinary defensive magic treasures could not withstand it.
"Master, look at that place! It's the Underworld! It's all the Underworld! Hurry up and plunder the soil!" At this moment, the green cow seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer as it shouted out.
The Underworld?!
Xia Ping looked around and discovered that the Formless Mountain was covered in reddish-black soil that emitted the aura of the netherworld. It seemed to contain a deep level of netherworld energy.
"Master, this Underworld is not simple. It would only appear in hell. It's one of the special types of soil in the world. Although it's not as valuable as the Nine Heavens Living Soil, it's still very useful."
The green cow hurriedly said, "If Master plunder this Underworld soil and put it in the space of the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers, not only will you obtain a piece of Underworld soil, you can also plant all kinds of strange plants.
Even if the Nine Heavens Living Soil obtains a large amount of Underworld soil energy, it would be able to promote its evolution, allowing it to quickly cover the entire space of the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers. The benefits are endless. "
It hoped to plunder this Underworld soil clean.
Xia Ping knew that even though the Nine Heavens Living Soil was constantly devouring chaotic energy and expanding its surface area, it had only expanded by a small amount after such a long time.
If he wanted to turn the entire space into the Nine Heavens Living Soil, based on the current progress, it would take at least tens of years, or even hundreds of years.
However, according to the green cow, obtaining this Underworld soil could shorten the time by at least a third.
"Is there such a thing? Plunder, plunder immediately."
Xia Ping's eyes immediately lit up. To think that this soil was actually a treasure. Naturally, he would not miss out on this opportunity. He immediately made a move, plundering the Underworld soil on the Formless Mountain.
Many of the Qingyang City's soldiers were dumbfounded. They had heard of the proverb "Plunder three feet of the ground" before. This was used to describe a person's greed. However, they had never seen someone actually do something like this.
Moreover, the person who did this was the City Lord that they revered like a god. This was clearly trying to plunder the last bit of value from the Formless Ghostly King's lair.
For some reason, they felt a little pity for the Formless Ghostly King. After working hard for thousands of years to find so many treasures, all of them ended up benefiting Xia Ping. It was really like working hard for someone else.
"Mmm, what is this?"
After Xia Ping plunder the Formless Mountain's Underworld soil clean, he continued to search for treasures. Then, he found a secret manual with a black leather cover among the treasures. There were strange Hell's Text on it.
And since he had obtained the legacy of the Hell's Spear, he naturally understood the Hell's Text. It read: True Knowledge of Illusions.
"Could this be the true secret technique of the Formless Ghostly King?"
Xia Ping immediately recalled that he had almost found the Formless Ghostly King's Dao and was deceived by its illusions.
If it weren't for the fact that he had the Hell's Golden Crow bloodline, which allowed him to see through illusions, he would have been in deep trouble.
Initially, he had thought that this was the Formless Ghostly King's innate mystic ability. But from the looks of it, that was not the case. It must have obtained this True Knowledge of Illusions from somewhere and cultivated an incredible ability.
"This is a good treasure. I'll study it later."
Xia Ping immediately put the secret manual away. As the saying went, it was never a burden to have more skills. If he could learn this technique, he would most likely have another new trump card.
He continued to search but did not find any special treasures. There were only a large number of Underworld stones, some ores, spirit herbs, and other things. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Following that, he continued to plunder the Formless Mountain, not letting even a single stone go. Only when there were no more treasures left did he choose to give up.
"Is this the black hole that leads to Hell?"
After doing all that, Xia Ping finally turned his attention to the black hole above the Formless Mountain. It was about the size of an ordinary cave, and it was pitch black. There was a strange whirlpool inside that kept spinning.
From the depths of this black hole, the roars of demons and Underworld Ghosts could occasionally be heard. It was as if there were countless Underworld Ghosts and demons that could not wait to run out from the depths of the passageway.
But this passageway was too weak. Demons and Underworld Ghosts whose strength surpassed the Returning Truth Realm Middle Stage could not come out. They could only be blocked inside Hell.
