Chapter 744

The Sin-dispelling Flower could eliminate sins. If the evil spirits who were suffering from the Yin Wind on the plain could consume one flower, they could immediately be cleansed of their sins. With the protection of the illusory virtue, they would not be harmed by the Yin Wind and safely arrive at the Left Saint Ghost Metropolis. As for whether they would completely disappear and return to heaven and earth, or stay in the Ghost Metropolis to cultivate and live until the end of their lifespan, or reincarnate again, it all depended on their own choice and the judgment of the Ghost Metropolis.

Hearing the Sin-dispelling Flower, Shi Xuan thought of another unique flower in the Yin Mountain cave, the Karma Dissipation Flower. It could eliminate karma and was the nemesis of the Red Lotus Hellfire in the third Heaven's Punishment. Since he was going to the Yin Mountain, he might as well look for this flower and bring it back to Penglai to help Zhenren Jiang, Linló, and his master pass the Heaven's Punishment in the future.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely get the Sin-dispelling Flower as the fare of the boat." Shi Xuan nodded and agreed. As for the danger of the Yin Mountain cave, according to the ancient records, it mainly lied in the complex and mysterious terrain, as well as the overlapping, twisted and strange Mini Chiliocosm and space in the deepest part. Ghosts were not strong. After all, those who could become Celestial Beings had extremely high spiritual intelligence. Why would they stay in the depths of the Yin Mountain cave? There was no Yellow Spring there that could restrain the souls of Celestial Beings and eliminate their spiritual intelligence.

The old boatman nodded with satisfaction. At this time, a boy in colorful clothes, about six or seven years old, ran over from the shore. He looked delicate and cute, but he was cold. His little face was stiff as if there was a thick layer of frost on it. He came close and stood beside the old boatman. He said respectfully, "Grandpa, let me help you with the ferry these few days."

"Sir, I will leave first." Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do, Shi Xuan said goodbye and went to the Left Saint Ghost Metropolis.

Although the boy in colorful clothes was very cold, when Shi Xuan turned to leave, he secretly glanced at him. Obviously, he was a little curious about this strange ghost. After all, other ghosts would not take the Boat of Forgetfulness for no reason.

"Haha, he came from the outside. He is a Zhenren from other worlds. If you want to go out and have some fun, you can go with him." The old boatman did not hide Shi Xuan's identity from the boy and joked.

This made Shi Xuan, who had not gone far, smile bitterly. He had not found a way to get out, and the old boatman said this.

The colorful-robed boy snorted softly without any expression. He seemed to be dissatisfied. It was unknown whether he was dissatisfied with the old boatman's words or Shi Xuan's.

Because the old boatman was beside him, out of courtesy, Shi Xuan did not carefully check the cultivation of the colorful-robed boy. Therefore, when he scanned him with his Primordial Spirit, he only felt that he was like a ghost but not a ghost.

As for the joking conversation between the two of them, Shi Xuan did not take it to heart. If they found a way out and the old boatman really asked for it, bringing the colorful-robed boy out would only be a matter of convenience. On the other hand, if they could not find a way out, there was no need to worry about this problem.

…

The Left Saint of the Ghost Metropolis was dark and lifeless, full of the aura of decay. The city was so high that it reached the clouds. There were no doors, so one could see the inside of the city at a glance. However, the Yin Qi inside was extremely dense, forming a gloomy white fog that obscured everything. One could only see some hazy outlines, like monsters hidden in the white fog, looking gloomy and terrifying.

Outside the city, there was no Soul Dissipating Yin Wind or Spirit Severing Yin Fire. There was only silence. Whether it was the ghosts that had just escaped from the Yin Wind or Spirit Severing Yin Fire, or the Ghost Cultivators that used their Spirit Tools or even Dharma Treasures, none of them made a sound. Their feet were invisible as they floated towards the city gate.

Shi Xuan maintained his composure and did the same. The cold and gloomy aura around him spread out unabashedly, causing the ghosts nearby to retreat and secretly curse. However, there was a space of a thousand miles outside the city gate. There were only a few thousand Ghost Cultivators going in and out. It was empty. If some of them retreated, it would not cause any conflict. Instead, it could make the ghosts stay away from him, lest some of the Yin Ghosts among them discover his identity with their strange magic power. For example, some Yin Ghosts were particularly sensitive to the aura of living people.

The Ghost Soldiers guarding the gate were lazy. Seeing that Shi Xuan had an extraordinary aura, they did not want to provoke him. After a brief inspection, they let him in.

After entering the Left Holy Ghost Metropolis, Shi Xuan found that in the thick white fog, there were spots of green flames that lit up from time to time, illuminating the surroundings. There were towering copper pillars with Yin Ghosts tied to them. The firecrackers made sizzling sounds and screams. There were stalls that were randomly set up on the ground, selling some Ghost Dao items. There were also houses condensed from Yin Qi, with ghosts coming in and out from time to time …

The road that Shi Xuan was on went straight forward and gradually descended. There were copper pillars on the side, which was the road to the Left Holy Emperor Palace. According to the ancient records that Shi Xuan had read, the ground of the Left Holy Ghost Metropolis became lower the closer to the center, and the Left Holy Emperor Palace was hundreds of thousands of feet below the surface of the Yellow Spring.

"I died so unjustly!" From time to time, there would be ghosts with their tongues sticking out or their guts torn out running around in a daze, screaming miserably. However, they would soon be caught by the Ghost Soldiers and tied to the copper pillars, where they would be punished by firecrackers. From time to time, there would also be Yin Ghosts being escorted by the Ghost Soldiers towards the Left Holy Emperor Palace.

Shi Xuan admired the unique scenery that was different from other worlds. He was not in a hurry to investigate the Left Holy Emperor Palace or go to Yin Mountain. He needed to find the right time for the former, and the Zi Ying Sword was about to undergo its third heavenly tribulation for the latter. He needed to find a cave abode and set it up first.

He did not have any items of the Ghost Dao on him, but after undergoing the second heavenly tribulation, Shi Xuan was able to transform matter and create materials below mid-grade. Therefore, he grabbed a handful of Yin Qi and squeezed it gently. One or two mid-grade materials of the Ghost Dao appeared in his palm. If it was not for the fact that he did not want to cause a huge commotion, it would actually be better to create Yin-grade spirit stones.

"Sir, this is the token for your cave abode." In a courtyard condensed from Yin Qi, dozens of beautiful female ghosts in white floated over and greeted the guests. The one who gave the token to Shi Xuan was the youngest among them. She seemed rather ignorant and naive. Her soul was illusory and her face was pale with faint green Qi. She did not seem to have a high cultivation and was probably born and raised in the Ghost Metropolis.

Shi Xuan put the token away with a cold expression and went to the back of the courtyard.

The little female ghost did not care about Shi Xuan's cold expression at all. She said passionately, "My name is Zhi Lan. Sir, you can call me Ah Lan. If you need anything, feel free to look for me." Her sincere attitude could be called a model service.

Shi Xuan nodded and left without saying a word. There were hundreds of black coffins placed in the back of the courtyard. They were filled with dense Yin Qi and Death Qi. As the light from the token shone on them, the lid of one of the coffins suddenly rose up. Shi Xuan then lay down in it. There was another space inside. It was a small Yin House. It was unknown why the owner of this house would make it look like a coffin. But looking at how good his business was, it seemed that many ghosts were interested in this place.

Looking at Shi Xuan's back as he left, the little female ghost Zhi Lan muttered to herself in confusion, "Why do I sometimes feel that this sir is so kind, and I want to get close to him, just like those delicious fruits? But he is so cold, he completely ignores me." She looked like she was about to cry.

…

The Yin House that Shi Xuan resided in was very simple. There was only a real coffin, a cushion, and a table made of ten-thousand-year-old locust wood.

Shi Xuan's small Yin House was simply decorated. There was only a real coffin, a cattail hassock, and a ten-thousand-year-old locust tree table.

The Zi Ying Sword hovered before Shi Xuan. Its color changed, alternating between pure white and violet. In the end, a glassy light slowly lit up, enveloping the entire sword in the blink of an eye. It was like a twig burning in the air, about to be incinerated into nothingness.

The Nine Flames Incineration Tribulation for arcane treasures was slightly different from that for cultivators. There was no Flame of the Past or Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus, so after the eighth layer of the Flame of Way was the Glassy Origin Fire.

Shi Xuan focused on visualizing the Pure Heavenly Lord of Virtue and Virtue before using his connection with the Zi Ying Sword's imprint to pass over the image of the pure, natural Virtue.

To arcane treasures and spirit treasures, there were advantages and disadvantages to having a master. The disadvantage was that heavenly tribulations and blight tribulations would come quickly, while the advantage was that arcane treasures could use a portion of their master's power during certain stages of the tribulation and blight tribulations, and the master could provide them with special assistance. If there were only disadvantages, how could arcane treasures or spirit treasures take the initiative to accept them as their master?

With Shi Xuan's support, the Zi Ying Sword that was about to fade away gradually stabilized in the Glazed Flame of the Origin Heart and rapidly expanded. Very soon, with a flash of violet light, it enveloped the Glazed Flame of the Origin Heart. Thousands of strands of sword Qi erupted and completely crushed it.

The fire calmed down, and the violet light became even brighter and more noble. Its sharpness was concealed, and its killing intent was hidden. It flew before Shi Xuan and tapped the tip of the sword several times. Afterward, a clear, childish voice that was neither male nor female rang out in Shi Xuan's head, "It's all thanks to master's assistance that Zi Ying can successfully undergo the Nine Flames Incineration Tribulation. Zi Ying thanks master's great kindness here. I will definitely go through fire and water for master in the future … "

Shi Xuan interrupted the grateful but rambling voice, "Your soul can directly communicate with me now? Shouldn't you only be able to do that when you've reached the peak of Pure Yang treasures and your soul is almost fully manifested? "

"Of course I'm different! I'm a Supreme Spiritual Treasure. In the Glassy Origin Fire just now, I've already awakened the memories of my past life. I don't know how I managed to communicate with master, but I'm not like those regular Pure Yang treasures … "The Zi Ying Sword spoke with great pride. It even mentioned how it had gone through two blight in the past and was much more impressive than Qing Suo.

Shi Xuan roughly understood what was going on. Looking at Zi Ying's current appearance, the so-called awakening was probably seeing the memories of the past from the sword and not awakening and fusing with it. Otherwise, a million-year-old monster would not be so naive and naive.

Listening to Zi Ying Sword's eloquence, Shi Xuan could not help but think, "That's right.

"Is this Yuan Ling a chatterbox?!"

…

"Master, this place is so strange. I've never seen it before …" The next day, with the still excited Zi Ying Sword, Shi Xuan went to the Yin Mountain. It asked many questions along the way, feeling very curious about the Nine Serenities.

The chilly wind passed through the layers of protection and blew inside, dispersing one's soul. However, Shi Xuan had the Taiji diagram to suppress it, so he was not afraid at all. A few days later, a cold and pure black mountain appeared in front of Shi Xuan.

"Wow, there are so many ghosts on the mountain. They're so miserable!" The Zi Ying Sword sighed in sympathy in Shi Xuan's soul.
