Chapter 756

"Ghostly Lord, do you really think that I won't be able to stay in the Source Space for long? Have you never thought that I wouldn't be able to do something that a Celestial Immortal mighty figure like you wouldn't notice? To tell you the truth, this was given to me by a half-step Golden Immortal elder. I don't need to say how long it can last, do I? "Shi Xuan said with some truth and some lies.

Mangshan Ghostly Lord had long suspected this, but he only thought that it was a First or Second Blight mighty figure. How would he know that it was the means of a half-step Golden Immortal! He was dubious, but he smiled lightly and said, "If you had a half-step Golden Immortal elder, he would have come to take you away long ago. Why bother with me here? And why take the risk to negotiate? Or why not just stay for a few more decades, and wait until I lose my patience before leaving safely? "

From the moment Shi Xuan mentioned the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Mangshan Ghostly Lord had been trying to figure out how he knew about this. However, the mysteries of heaven were complicated and chaotic, and he had no idea where to start. It was like deducing something about a mighty figure whose cultivation realm was much higher than his, so he could only rely on common sense.

If this Three-tribulation Yang God Immortal had known about this long ago, why would he wait for nearly 11 months before bargaining with him? After all, he should be very clear that regardless of whether he sent disciples to stand guard, or his incarnation to stand guard personally, it would take years, or even decades. He still had that much patience. Therefore, at the beginning, Mangshan Ghostly Lord thought that he had accidentally found some clues in the Source Space, and felt that he had grasped his weakness.

But if that was the case, then it would be too much of a coincidence. Therefore, Mangshan Ghostly Lord did not believe this speculation. It was only when Shi Xuan said that he had a half-step Golden Immortal elder that Mangshan Ghostly Lord was shocked. He connected the dots. It was not a coincidence at all, but that half-step Golden Immortal wanted a piece of the pie. Whether it was Shi Xuan's fortuitous entry into Nine Nether World, or his coincidental possession of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, or his knowledge of the Left Saint Emperor Palace, he must have been the mastermind behind all of this.

And Shi Xuan had retreated into the Source Space at the beginning because he did not want to expose the mastermind behind him. That half-step Golden Immortal should be the same as the other mighty figures who wanted to interfere. He had many considerations, especially Daozu, whose whereabouts were a mystery. It was inconvenient for him to interfere directly, so he arranged for a Three-tribulation Yang God Immortal, and would not help him until the last moment!

Therefore, Mangshan Ghostly Lord believed half of it. He felt that he knew everything like the back of his hand. The only question was why he could not wait for only 11 months, and took the initiative to expose his secret and seek cooperation with him.

If Shi Xuan knew what Mangshan Ghostly Lord was thinking, he would definitely laugh and say, "You think too much." However, Shi Xuan did not use the Mind Reading Ability, which was beyond his level. He just said the words that he had long prepared, "I's elder is the same as the one behind you, Ghostly Lord. It is not convenient for him to act personally. As for why I didn't stay longer, it was because I promised the old boatman on the Yellow Springs that I would give him three Sin-expiating Flowers within a year. Otherwise, I would have to steer the boat for him for a hundred years. Seeing that the one-year deadline was approaching, I had to take the risk to talk to you. "

Mangshan Ghostly Lord pointed out the collusion between Mangshan Ghostly Lord and Fengdu Emperor Lord. It was very likely that he would be killed by Mangshan Ghostly Lord after the deed was done. However, if Shi Xuan had not escaped from the Nine Nether World by then, or if he had used the means left by the Left Saint Emperor to repel the strong enemy, he would most likely be dead by then. There was no need to worry about this matter.

Mangshan Ghostly Lord nodded slightly. All his doubts were cleared. He thought that Shi Xuan felt that he was not strong enough, and needed to cooperate with a ghostly lord to have a chance of success. Coincidentally, he was blocked by him, and with the pressure of the one-year deadline, he made this decision. In any case, it did not matter which ghostly lord he cooperated with.

Therefore, he began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind. Fengdu Emperor Lord did not dare to impart the Supreme Cultivation Method to Daozu, and no one knew his Six Daozu Reincarnation Technique. As for finding other cultivators who knew the Six Daozu Reincarnation Technique, it was inconvenient to enter and exit the Nine Nether World. It would take a long time, and they would have to avoid those with powerful backgrounds. It was very likely that there would be no result for ten or twenty thousand years.

When the Left Saint Emperor returned, all his efforts would be in vain. "I see. I am also an easy-going person. Since this fellow daoist is sincere in cooperating, then I will forget about Mo Gui. When the main hall of the imperial palace is opened, I will take one item first, and the rest will be between you and me. Before that, I will not harm a single hair of you, and you must not leak this matter. If you agree, we will make a karma oath, "Mangshan Ghostly Lord said calmly.

But in his heart, he was sneering. His killing intent surfaced, but he suppressed it. He was prepared to wait until everything was over, and when the other party was in high spirits, then he would make his move. After all, there was only one item that he could use, or none at all. When the time came, they would cancel each other out, and he would die!

Shi Xuan was surprised. Mangshan Ghostly Lord had agreed so easily?! He had prepared many excuses!

For example, when the old boatman senior saw that he was going back on his word, he would definitely come to capture him. Mangshan Ghostly Lord would most likely not be able to defeat him. At that time, he could find an opportunity to contact other ghostly lords, and exchange the news of the Six Daozu Reincarnation Technique and the main hall of the imperial palace for protection. Even if the old boatman senior did not come, he could risk his life and use the Six Daozu Reincarnation Technique to attract the attention of the other ghostly lords who had been watching Mangshan Ghostly Lord for a long time...

But none of these prepared speeches were used! Had Mangshan Ghostly Lord believed him so easily?!

"What on earth is he thinking?" Shi Xuan was speechless. "Seems like he wants to play tricks on the karma oath. It should be after opening the doors of the imperial palace."

But Shi Xuan did not mind. From the words left behind by Left Saint Emperor, "Get me......", he should have gained something extraordinary after using the Six Daozu Reincarnation Technique to open the doors. Besides, his goal was to leave, and nothing else. When the time came, he could drag the other ghostly lords in, and with them holding each other back, the chances of him escaping were high.

Both sides had their own plans, and began to bargain. Finally, the karma oath became that Mangshan Ghostly Lord would take one item first, then he would take 60, and Shi Xuan would take 40. The reason why it went so smoothly was that Mangshan Ghostly Lord would not be able to take it. In any case, it would still be his, and he did not care at all.

When it came to the karma oath, Shi Xuan carefully used the Paramita Bridge formed by the Taiji diagram to suppress it, and the Karma Elixir Tome appeared in his Primordial Spirit. This was because after reaching the Celestial Being Realm, he had touched the great dao, and could use the karma connection during the oath to deceive the other party, and thus play tricks on the oath.

But everything went smoothly. Mangshan Ghostly Lord finished the oath, and smiled. "Daoist Shi is really capable. With the strength of a 3rd Tribulation Yang God, and the environment, you were able to easily kill Mo Gui, and almost made me return empty-handed. If you become a Celestial Being, I'm afraid I can only admit defeat." His smiling manner made it seem like he was a good friend of Shi Xuan, and not an enemy who had killed his right-hand man.

Shi Xuan looked relaxed, but he was very cautious as he flew out of the space-time fog. Hearing Mangshan Ghostly Lord's words, he was very impressed. He did not have the ability to change his expression. "Ghostly Lord, you flatter me."

"Oh yes, because the Ghostly Lord guarding the Left Saint Emperor Palace is very strong, and has passed the first Blight Trial, surpassing the four of us. We can only wait until the True Solution of Life and Death reaches a temporary reincarnation every 1,296 years, and is suppressed by the Nine Nether World. Only then can we restrain him, and send you 3rd Tribulation Venerables into the Left Saint Emperor Palace. And there are still 714 years left. Therefore, during this period, I invite Daoist Shi to stay at Mangshan Ghostly Lord. It's best if you don't go out."

Mangshan Ghostly Lord chuckled. Without batting an eyelid, he spread his immortal will between Shi Xuan and the chasm. His aura became terrifying. Unknowingly, his avatar and real body had switched! It was similar to how Shi Xuan's sword light could switch between illusion and reality.

Obviously, he was afraid that Shi Xuan would find a loophole to bypass the karmic oath and leak the news. Therefore, he was prepared to detain Shi Xuan in Mangshan Ghostly Lord for more than 700 years. This would not harm Shi Xuan, nor would it restrict Shi Xuan's cultivation. Therefore, it did not conflict with the karmic oath. As long as he was confident that he could capture Shi Xuan unscathed.

He was indeed a sly and powerful person. Shi Xuan shook his head lightly and laughed at himself. He had accidentally suffered a loss. Of course, the main reason was that the information was not balanced. The information that Shi Xuan had obtained was only ordinary. There was no way he could get into the Left Saint Emperor Palace as a super secret. Therefore, he smiled bitterly. "Then I will just treat it as seclusion in Mangshan Ghostly Lord for a while."

"As expected of a wise man who can adapt to circumstances." Mangshan Ghostly Lord put his palms together and smiled. "Oh right, Daoist Shi, you might have been affected by the space-time fog down there. You feel that time is a little out of whack. Today happens to be the first day that you went down for more than 11 months. Looks like you will have to ferry this old boatman for a hundred years first." Saying so, he shot an azure light at Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan was caught off guard. He was about to use the Taiji diagram to suppress the azure light, but he sensed that it was not dangerous. It was just an ordinary monitoring immortal technique. Therefore, he restrained himself and looked at Mangshan Ghostly Lord. "Ghostly Lord, what do you mean?"

"Just a little trick. Just in case someone like Daoist Shi takes advantage of me." Mangshan Ghostly Lord was ashamed to be so cautious towards a Third Tribulation Yang God Venerable. He then turned into light and left, not lingering.

This was the first time that Shi Xuan was dealing with a Heavenly Immortal and True Lord mighty person. Reality proved that he was still a little too inexperienced. Shaking his head, he used the Innate Storm Escape and headed towards the Yellow Springs outside the Left Saint Ghost's Capital.

…

"Hehe, Sir, although you brought three Sin Dispelling Flowers, a day has passed since the one year promise. I'm afraid you'll have to ferry me for a while. However, you're only late by a day. It's not intentional. Moreover, I've also obtained the Sin Dispelling Flowers. Therefore, a hundred years is too long. One year will do. "The old boatman had a sinister feeling when he smiled.

Since Shi Xuan had to stay for more than 700 years, time did not matter. He did not argue and smiled. "I'll follow your instructions."

"Alright, I'll let my grandson guide you for a while, lest you make a mistake in your haste." The old boatman called the colorful-robed boy over and instructed him.

He pulled a long face and reluctantly brought Shi Xuan onto the Boat of Forgetfulness. When Shi Xuan rowed the long odd-shaped oars and started the black boat sailing on the Yellow Springs, he stood at the side coldly and did not say a word.

"How should I address you, little brother?" Shi Xuan asked casually. He still had to rely on his guidance in the coming days.

The colorful-robed boy raised his eyes slightly, but was expressionless. He snorted lightly and did not answer.

Why did he not like him? Shi Xuan was a little puzzled. This was the second time the two of them met, and they had not even exchanged a single word before.
