Nie Tian's gaze changed when he heard Qing Qi mention the All Ghost Ancestor. His surprise was mixed with some joy.
He was obviously no stranger to the All Ghost Ancestor. Most of his understanding of Donghuang Zhengrong came from the former. He had even fought against the former in the Hidden Dragon Competition not long ago.
The All Ghost Ancestor had once been sealed by Donghuang Zhengrong. He broke out of the seal due to a stroke of fate, but he was reborn in the form of a primordial ghost fetus. He had no choice but to possess a ghost called the left head.
This was because the All Ghost Ancestor had never defeated Donghuang Zhengrong in his entire life, so he both feared and hated the latter. After meeting Nie Tian, he naturally transferred his fear and hatred to the latter and wanted to compete with the latter again.
That was why Nie Tian was so surprised when Qing Qi mentioned the All Ghost Ancestor.
"You know about the All Ghost Ancestor?" Qing Qi could not help but frown when he saw Nie Tian's reaction.
He never thought that Nie Tian would know so many people at such a young age.
Nie Tian smiled faintly and told him about how he knew the All Ghost Ancestor.
Qing Qi was dumbfounded when he heard that. He only reacted after a long while.
He had heard that the All Ghost Ancestor had returned to the All-Heaven Sacred World, but he never thought that it was Nie Tian who had released him.
"Senior, does the All Ghost Ancestor really know about Amorous Affair?" Nie Tian looked at Qing Qi and asked with uncertainty.
Qing Qi returned to his senses and sighed, "Since Amorous Affair could stand up against the Human Emperor, he must be someone from long ago. No one knows how long the All Ghost Ancestor has lived in this world. If there's anyone in this world who knows about Amorous Affair, it can only be him. "
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded. It seemed that Qing Qi was not sure either and was only guessing. He then asked, "Senior, how do we find the All Ghost Ancestor?"
The Saints' Net of the entire All-Heaven Sacred World was probably sealed now. Even if it wasn't sealed, it would still thoroughly investigate Nie Tian and the others. It would be almost impossible for them to leave.
"If we can't take the open path, we can only take the secret path," Qing Qi said after a moment of thought.
"Secret path?" Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, but before he could ask anything, Qing Qi had already stood up. He and Ruoyu Qianye quickly followed.
After leaving the mountain range, Qing Qi and Nie Tian began a long and arduous journey.
Seven days later, the three of them came to a deep river in the extreme north of the Everlasting Sacred World.
"Senior, what is this place?" Nie Tian looked at the river below and could not help but ask.
For the past seven days, they had been hurrying on their way. Qing Qi hadn't said anything along the way, which made him very curious about what the secret path was.
"The Ghost Crossing the Blood River." Qing Qi's eyes darkened as he slowly descended. He was less than a hundred meters above the river.
Nie Tian immediately followed, but in his heart, he was even more baffled. What kind of place was the Ghost Crossing Blood River?
However, the river below was very strange. It was as deep as an abyss, and the water was very black. Even with Nie Tian's eyesight, he could only see five to six meters below the water. Below that, it was pitch-black.
What was even more strange was that there seemed to be something swimming under the river. It was long and dark red, like a snake.
"To be precise, this is a tributary of the Ghost Crossing Blood River." Qing Qi didn't care about Nie Tian's expression. He nodded slightly and explained, "According to the legends, the Ghost Crossing Blood River is the origin of the Ghost Race. It's called the Mother River by the Ghost Race."
"A long time ago, before the All-Heaven Sacred World was split, the Ghost Crossing Blood River meandered above the All-Heaven Sacred World and circled around it."
"After the All-Heaven Sacred World collapsed, the tributaries of the Ghost Crossing Blood River spread throughout the Sacred World, while the main stream remained in the Southern Brilliance Sacred World."
"The Ghost Crossing Blood River is very mysterious. Its water contains some kind of power. Even if the tributaries and main stream are split, they still have a mysterious connection with each other."
"Therefore, there is a mysterious Ghost Crossing Bridge in every tributary of the Ghost Crossing Blood River. As long as you step on the Ghost Crossing Bridge, you can directly enter the main stream from the tributary."
"Isn't the Ghost Crossing Bridge like the Sacred World's Net?" Hearing this, Nie Tian immediately understood and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Qing Qi nodded and said, "We need to enter the Ghost Crossing Blood River now, find the Ghost Crossing Bridge, and enter the main stream of the Ghost Crossing Blood River. Then, we can directly enter the Southern Brilliance Sacred World. The gathering place of the Ghost Race is in the Southern Brilliance Sacred World. "
"Alright." Nie Tian's eyes couldn't help but warm up as he nodded.
"Nie Tian, you must follow me closely after we enter the Ghost Crossing Blood River." Qing Qi became a little nervous and said, "The Ghost Crossing Blood River is not an ordinary river. It contains a terrifying Ghost Force. Other than the Ghost Race, very few people can withstand the pressure of this Ghost Force."
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded and glanced at Ruoyu Qianye, but the latter didn't care.
Then, the three of them directly entered the Ghost Crossing Blood River without hesitation.
The moment he entered the blood river, Nie Tian sensed a terrifying, monstrous force assaulting him from all directions. It was as if a giant, invisible hand was trying to crush him to pieces.
However, his Martial Body was strong. His body shook slightly and he could steadily withstand the pressure of the Ghost Force.
Ruoyu Qianye, who was beside him, was also very relaxed with a calm expression.
On the other hand, Qing Qi's old face was a little red, and he seemed to be a little strained.
Nie Tian immediately understood that this Ghost Force had a very strong sense of perception. Martial artists of different cultivation levels also had different levels of Ghost Force oppression.
He and Ruoyu Qianye's cultivation levels were low, so the oppression they endured was naturally low. But Qing Qi's cultivation was high, so the oppression he endured was also high.
Qing Qi saw that Nie Tian and Ruoyu Qianye were fine and immediately understood. Then, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Just now, he was worried about Nie Tian and Qing Qi, but now it seemed that he should be the most worried.
The three of them slowly sank into the Blood River. Because of the Ghost Force's influence, their vision was very narrow and they could only see a few dozen meters ahead.
This Blood River was very vast. The three of them searched underwater for a long time without finding anything.
As the time they stayed in the Blood River increased, the Ghost Force oppression their Martial Bodies endured also became stronger.
Nie Tian and Ruoyu Qianye were fine, but Qing Qi's face was tense. It was obvious that he couldn't hold on much longer.
"Senior, are you okay?" Nie Tian saw that Qing Qi couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine." Qing Qi held on and nodded.
Nie Tian frowned and his face was very ugly.
With their speed of searching, who knew how long it would take to find the Ghost Crossing Bridge.
On one hand, the Ghost Crossing Blood River was too big and their vision was too narrow. It was very difficult to search.
On the other hand, they had no understanding of the Ghost Crossing Bridge. Even if they were lucky enough to find it, they might accidentally miss it.
"Senior, we can't keep searching like this. Let's go back to the surface first." Nie Tian saw that Qing Qi couldn't hold on any longer and said in a low voice.
"Yes." Although Qing Qi was a little embarrassed, he still nodded.
