"In the beginning, I invited you to come with me because I wanted to use your identity as a human cultivator to break a special restriction in the Ghost King's Sorrow," Yin Liu said indifferently.
"If you need my power, I can help senior before I go to find the Nine Revolutions Dark Core." Liu Ming said frankly after thinking for a while.
"That restriction is a bit special, and non-fiend cultivators have a much higher chance of breaking it. However, the moment the restriction is broken, there will be spatial turbulence. Even Celestial Phenomenon Cultivators will find it difficult to escape. However, now that I know your identity and that you are related to me in my previous life, I naturally won't do that again. Liu, are you interested in making a deal with me? "Yin Liu said with a slight smile.
"That's right."
"A deal?" Liu Ming revealed a puzzled expression.
"That's right. As you can see, I've been here before, so I know a few places in the Ghost King's Sorrow where the Ghost King passed away. One of the restrictions should be relatively easy for a human like you to reach. In addition, you seem to be using the Dark Bone Method as your main cultivation method. This method is rarely circulated outside, so I believe you don't have the complete method, right? "Yin Liu said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's body shook and a rare trace of excitement appeared on his face, but it disappeared in a flash.
The Nine Revolution Dark Core was related to whether or not he could leave the Nine Hells Hell Realm. Apart from this, the most important thing was to find the second half of the Dark Bone Method.
He had been asking around for the past few years, but unfortunately, there were no results. He even had plans to give up on this method and choose another one. How could he not be excited when he heard this?
"What does Senior Liu Yin want me to do?" Liu Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"It's not a difficult task. Liu is strong and intelligent. It is very possible for you to reach the Celestial Phenomenon Stage or even the Profound Understanding Stage in the future. I just want you to promise me that when you become successful in the future, don't forget to take care of the Long family in Silver Spring Valley and the Barbarian Ghost Sect on Yunchuan Island." Yin Liu said solemnly.
"I was a disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect in the past, and Senior Long is a good friend of mine. These two things are not a problem." Liu Ming was a little surprised at first, but he quickly nodded.
"Fellow is indeed straightforward." Yin Liu nodded and his expression relaxed slightly. He didn't ask Liu Ming to make any oath. Instead, he took out a blank Jade Slips and placed it on his forehead. Then, he closed his eyes and began to inscribe something.
After a while, he finished inscribing, and with a wave of his hand, he tossed the jade slip over.
He said, "I have marked two locations inside and some restrictions that you need to pay attention to along the way. In addition to the location of the Nine Revolutions Dark Core, the other place is the place where a Ghost King, who was also famous for the Dark Bone Method, passed away. There should be a complete set of Dark Bone Method practicing methods there. However, the restrictions there are also very powerful. But with Liu's identity as a human, it shouldn't be difficult to get. "
Liu Ming took the Jade Slips and slightly checked them. After nodding, he raised one hand and swore loudly,
"I, Liu Ming, hereby promise that if the Long family of Silver Spring Valley and the Barbarian Ghost Sect are in trouble, I will do my best to help as long as it is within my power."
Seeing this, Yin Liu showed a trace of a smile on his face.
"In that case, you and I will part ways here. Three months later, we will meet at the entrance of this valley. I have a way to take you away." After Yin Liu said this, he turned into a black light and flew straight into the entrance of the valley.
Liu Ming looked at Yin Liu's back and pondered for a while. Then he put the Jade Slips that Yin Liu gave him on his forehead and carefully checked them.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he organized the map that he got from the cave and finally had a clear understanding of the place called "Ghost King's Sorrow" in his mind.
Although this space was located in the center of the Endless Mountain Range between two dark regions, it was also vast and boundless. With the huge valley in front of him as the center, the south was covered with ice and snow, the north was covered with dense forests, the east was barren, and the west was surging with the Styx River. It was like a world of its own.
And the places where the Ghost Kings of the Nine Nether Regions passed away were scattered in all directions like stars in the sky.
Liu Ming immediately put away the Jade Slips and turned his gaze to the south. After pondering for a while, the black gas around him turned into a black rainbow and flew away. After a few breaths, he disappeared at the end of the horizon.
A few days later.
It was snowing heavily. Countless gray snowflakes whistled with the chilly wind, making the already gloomy Ghost King's Sorrow even more chilling.
On the gray snow, a row of straight footprints was clearly visible, but after a gust of chilly wind, it became blurred.
At the forefront of the footprints, a young man in a green robe was moving forward step by step against the wind and snow.
This person was Liu Ming.
At this moment, his whole body was shrouded in a faint layer of black gas to resist the invasion of the wind and snow.
He was going to the place where it was relatively easy to get the Nine Revolutions Dark Core that Yin Liu told him. According to him, in the depths of the snow region in the south, there was a Barren Cold Temple, which was the place where the Ghost King "Barren Cold" passed away.
Along the way, he avoided and broke the dangerous enchantments according to the guidance of Yin Liu's map. Some wandering ghosts he encountered on the way were mostly at the later stage of the Crystallization Period to the Jin Dan Stage. They were all killed by him with thunderous means.
In this way, Liu Ming walked and rested. Even though his speed was extremely slow, he finally stepped into the gray snow field.
But as soon as he entered this area, he found that this place was set up with some kind of no-fly enchantment. Once he flew, the gray snowflakes in the sky would condense into sharp icicles that blasted at him.
Each icicle was equivalent to the full blow of a Crystallization Period cultivator. Even though Liu Ming's physical body was strong, he couldn't withstand such intensive attacks.
In desperation, he had to walk on foot.
Not long after, Liu Ming suddenly stopped in place, and he squinted his eyes and looked forward.
Through the gray snowflakes, he saw a few lonely snow mountains in front of him.
On the top of one of the shorter snow mountains, a small temple could be vaguely seen.
"Here it is!"
Liu Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked forward.
After an hour, on a platform on the top of the short snow mountain, Liu Ming stopped. A thousand meters in front of him, a two-story simple temple was located here.
Except for the thick gray snow on the surface of the temple, there was no other decoration, not even a plaque.
If it weren't for the fact that he was in the Netherworld, and the map clearly marked that this was the place where the Profound Connection King, who once dominated the Youhan Region, passed away, Liu Ming almost thought that he had come to some nameless temple on a barren mountain.
After he looked at it for a few times, his expression suddenly became uncertain. After a while, he patted his shoulder lightly with one hand. Under a flash of green light, Che Huan's phantasm flashed out. After a silent roar, it shrank back in a flash.
A relieved expression appeared on Liu Ming's face upon seeing this, and he walked towards the entrance of the temple.
According to the map Yin Liu had given him, this small temple seemed to be peaceful, but it was actually covered in a large number of restrictive spells. However, most of them were only effective against Fiends and Specters, and the rest shouldn't be a problem for Liu Ming.
However, just now, Luo Huo had suddenly sent him a voice transmission, telling him to conceal his aura and walk in as a mortal.
When he had asked for the reason, Luo Huo hadn't said a word.
Even though Liu Ming had been skeptical at first, he had decided to give it a try in the end.
However, what happened next made him overjoyed.
He had actually walked straight in from the entrance of the temple. It was as if the temple was completely defenseless. There was not the slightest anomaly.
The hall on the first floor of the temple wasn't very large. It was only about 1,000 meters in size, and there was a stone platform in each of the three corners of the hall, on which sat a statue of a blue-armored Fiend.
Apart from that, it was a little messy, and there were many traces of intense battles that had taken place.
Liu Ming looked around, then at the three statues, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Looks like these are the three Celestial Phenomenon guards under Ghost King Huang Han's command. I can't believe they actually refined themselves into puppets to guard this place for a long time. Their loyalty is truly exemplary."
Back then, when Yin Liu entered the Ghost King's Sorrow for the first time with the identity of Liuyin, he had barged into this place and taken away many treasures left behind by the 'Desolate Chill'. Among them, there was an account of his life that mentioned these three loyal guards. Every single one of them possessed strength not inferior to Celestial Phenomenon, yet they were willing to follow the Desolate Chill to this place.
When Yin Liu had given Liu Ming the Jade Slips Map, he had marked all of these things.
Back then, Liu Yin had accidentally triggered these three guards, and after a fierce battle, he hadn't been able to take away all of the other treasures, including the Nine Revolutions Nether Core.
Once the slightest wisp of Fiend or Ghost Yin Qi leaked out, these three Celestial Phenomenon puppets would immediately be activated and kill the offender.
After taking a few glances at the hall on the first floor, Liu Ming walked straight to the corner where there were no guards.
As he walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor, Liu Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
There were three secret rooms on the second floor, side by side. The middle and rightmost rooms had long since been opened.
The rightmost room seemed to be empty. The things inside had been moved away.
The middle room was very narrow, less than ten feet in length and width.
In the middle of the room, there was a young man sitting cross-legged on a cushion, looking very lifelike.
The man wore a blue jade crown, a blue robe, and a jade belt. His face was delicate and elegant, and he had a small tuft of jet-black beard on his chin. He looked like a graceful and handsome man.
"So this is the insufferably arrogant Huang Han of the past."
Liu Ming looked at the man, and after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he let out a long breath and murmured.
