Hearing this, Liu Ming opened his mouth. The hope in his heart was immediately doused by a basin of cold water, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of Green Spirit's words. Given her status as a Profound Enlightenment expert, how could she lie to him?
According to what she said, even if he was lucky enough to find the Space Rift that connected the Netherworld to the Human World, if he encountered the Space Tide, he might still die in it.
Just as Liu Ming was thinking, Green Spirit suddenly said slowly, "Speaking of which, the reason why I couldn't complete this puppet in the past was that I didn't have enough time, and I also lacked a key material.
Just as Liu Ming was thinking, Green Spirit suddenly said slowly, "Speaking of which, the reason why I couldn't complete this puppet in the past was that I didn't have enough time, and I also lacked a key material. If I had this material, it would only be a matter of time before I finished refining it. "
"What kind of material do you need, Senior? I'm willing to serve you." Hearing this, how could Liu Ming not understand the meaning of Green Spirit's words? Immediately, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
Green Spirit had gone in a big circle. It was obvious that he wanted him to do something.
"The material I lack now is called the Nine Revolutions Nether Core. It's the core of this Black Crystal Jade Puppet, and it's also the key to unleashing its greatest power." Green Spirit looked at Liu Ming, and a trace of seriousness finally appeared on her face.
"Nine Revolutions Nether Core?" Liu Ming frowned. He didn't have the slightest information about it in his mind.
"It's normal that you don't know about it. Most high-ranking Fiends have only heard of it, but have never seen it. The Nine Revolutions Nether Core is born in the remains of Profound Enlightenment Fiends after they die. It contains great power. The Netherworld has existed for tens of thousands of years. Although many Profound Enlightenment Fiends have been born, only a few of them have a few. "Green Spirit seemed to have expected that Liu Ming would ask such a question, and explained patiently.
"This …" Hearing this, Liu Ming was dumbfounded.
Although Green Spirit said it lightly, the Nine Revolutions Nether Core was obviously not something that could be bought with Netherstones.
With his strength, even if he could exchange a few blows with an ordinary Celestial Phenomenon State, it was impossible for him to take anything from the Ghost King, who was in the Mystic Enlightenment State.
"Hmph, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say that I want you to snatch this item from the hands of those Ghost Kings. From what I know, at the border between the Serene Water Region and the Serene Emotion Region, there is a boundless mountain range. At the center of the mountain range is the Dark King's Sorrow. There should be a Nine Turns Dark Core there, "Green Spirit snorted and said.
"Ghost King's Mourning?"
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows. His mind raced as he recalled the rumors regarding the Youthful King's Mourning that he had learned on his way to Biyou City.
In the Netherworld Realm, the strong were always respected. Since the Fiends couldn't reproduce by themselves, there was no such thing as inheritance. Instead, new Fiends would challenge the previous Lord of the Netherworld Realm and win the title of Lord of the Netherworld Realm.
Every Lord of the Netherworld had to accept challenges from other Fiends. They couldn't avoid battles. Otherwise, they would lose all dignity and face to be called Lord of the Netherworld in the Netherworld Realm.
In this way, if the previous Lord of the Netherworld was defeated and injured, he would usually retreat to a forbidden area called "Ghost King's Sorrow". Once he entered this area, the victors were not allowed to enter this place to continue their pursuit. Otherwise, they would incur the wrath of the masses and be stopped by the other Lords of the Netherworld.
After these former Lords of the Netherworld entered this place, they couldn't leave this forbidden area for the rest of their lives. After a long time, they naturally died.
Therefore, the Ghost King's Sorrow was actually the final destination of all the Lords of the Netherworld Realm.
After the Lord of the Netherworld died, other than leaving behind a large number of Netherworld treasures, there would naturally be a Nine Turns Dark Core left.
However, some loyal subordinates who were willing to die with the former Lord of the Netherworld would follow the former Lord of the Netherworld into the Ghost King's Sorrow. They would also set up a large number of restrictions around the place, so that the Fiends and ghosts who coveted the treasures the Lord of the Netherworld would not dare to enter.
Most of these restrictive spells were set up to deal with Fiends, and the higher one's cultivation base was, the more intense the backlash would be. However, tempted by the heavy rewards, there were still some Fiends who thought they were powerful enough to sneak into the Nether King's Sorrow from time to time, hoping to get lucky. However, most of them only managed to sneak into the Nether King's Sorrow, and there were even some Celestial Phenomenon experts among them.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people dared to enter the forbidden grounds of the Ghost King's Death. Now, there were even fewer.
Because of this, the area within a five-thousand-kilometer radius of each Nether King's Mourning Grave had become a perilous place that ordinary Fiends wouldn't dare to approach.
When Liu Ming thought of this, his mind started to spin rapidly.
At this moment, Green Spirit calmly continued.
"If you help me obtain the Nine Revolution Nether Core, then I'll naturally bring you out of the Ninth Hell. Moreover, I'll give you some other benefits. With my abilities, it would naturally not be a problem for me to barge into the Ghost King's Sorrow. However, I would most likely not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the Ghost Kings here. I might even end up attracting the combined forces of the other Ghost Kings and other unpredictable consequences. Therefore, unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't personally make the trip. In comparison, if you barge into this place with your Jin Dan realm cultivation, you won't attract much attention. Moreover, although the Dark Bone Method that you're cultivating can give you the aura of the Fiend Clan, you're a real human cultivator. Therefore, those restrictions that are specially designed to deal with Fiend Clan ghosts may not be effective against you. "Green Spirit saw the change of Liu Ming's expression and said slowly.
"But does Senior have a deadline for this matter?" Liu Ming asked after pondering for a while.
"Don't worry. Once this Black Crystal Jade puppet is activated, it will absorb enough Netherworld Qi to last for more than ten years. You just need to bring the Nine Revolution Nether Core to me before that. Otherwise, I'll have to think of another way. "Hearing this, Green Spirit smiled slightly.
"Alright, since Senior has said so, I will agree to this matter. I will definitely hand over the Nine Revolution Nether Core to Senior within the deadline." After careful consideration, Liu Ming finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although it was said that the Ghost King's Sorrow was extremely dangerous, it was still much better than being trapped in the Netherworld Realm for the rest of his life.
"Very good, I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed a person who knows how to adapt to circumstances. This is a substitute puppet. If you use it at a crucial moment, it might be able to save your life. However, this puppet can only be used once, so don't forget. Furthermore, the Ghost King's Sorrow is filled with restrictions. I suggest that you make more preparations before entering. " Green Spirit seemed to have predicted that Liu Ming would agree. After hearing this, a white light flashed in his hand and a palm-sized puppet appeared. He tossed it to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming was overjoyed. He waved his hand and the puppet flew into his hand. He placed it in front of his eyes and examined it closely.
The puppet was less than half a foot long and was completely white. It looked extremely lifelike and exquisite. However, the puppet's face was blank and had no facial features.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!" After examining it for a while, he cupped his hands and bowed to Green Spirit.
"Remember, after ten years, we will still meet here." As Green Spirit spoke, he shook his arms and a green light wrapped around his body. With a "whoosh", he disappeared before Liu Ming's eyes.
A look of shock flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. He didn't even see where Green Spirit had flown to. The powers of a Mystic Enlightening Realm cultivator were not something that he could guess at the moment.
He examined the substitute puppet in his hand again and carefully put it away. Then, he looked around and his expression changed. He flew towards the place where the green-robed elder and the other two had perished.
After a while, he stood in mid-air with a happy expression. The black gas in his hand held up some items. They were three storage Dark Artifacts, two purple longswords, an ancient mirror, a fiery-red bead, and a fiery-red bracelet.
These were the Dark Artifacts that the green-robed elder and the other two had used. They were all prototypes of Dharma treasures.
There were many good items in the three storage Dharma treasures. Other than the two hundred thousand Dark Stones, there were some precious pills, spiritual herbs, ores, and more than ten supreme-grade Dark Artifacts.
Although Liu Ming had no use for these items, he could still make a windfall by selling them.
It was a pity that Bi Yan and the others, along with their storage Dharma treasures, had been reduced to ashes by the silver flames of Mo Mingyu's puppet. Otherwise, they would definitely have more items.
Liu Ming thought regretfully. He flipped his hand and put these items away. Then, he didn't stay here any longer. He formed a sword seal with one hand and the Mother-Child Sword lifted his body. He turned into a gray sword light and sped into the distance.
A few days later, Liu Ming once again turned into Yin Han and returned to Biyou City silently. He found a new place to stay.
For a few days, he shut himself in. Fortunately, nothing happened, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
Since he had promised Green Spirit to retrieve the Nine Revolutions Dark Core, he naturally wouldn't foolishly head to the Spirit King's Mourning. Instead, he planned to collect some relevant information.
The most prosperous place in the entire Secluded Water Domain was Biyou City. Otherwise, Liu Ming wouldn't have taken the risk to return here.
After carefully lurking for a few days, he began to wander around some shops that sold books and miscellaneous items.
…
Qingyue City was a medium-sized city in the Secluded Water Domain. It was extremely far from Biyou City and could be considered a city at the border of the Secluded Water Domain.
It was noon at the moment. On a bluestone road in Qingyue City, a middle-aged man in a gray robe was walking slowly. He was looking at some of the shops on both sides without leaving a trace.
After walking for half a day, the middle-aged man in a gray robe stopped in front of a three-story restaurant that looked rather old.
There was a worn-out plaque hanging on the door. Under the oppressive light, the words on it couldn't be seen clearly.
The middle-aged man in a gray robe revealed a look of understanding and walked in.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant. At the counter, a sloppy-looking middle-aged man was fiddling with something that looked like an abacus in boredom.
"Sir, would you like to have a meal? Our restaurant has a new Eight Treasures Underworld Wine. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. "A sharp-eyed waiter welcomed the middle-aged man in a gray robe warmly after seeing him enter.
