Using the Universal Six Directions Formation to cross the sea of stars was naturally a method that Fang Xing and the five old men had thought of when they had no other way. The Nine-headed Bug was clearly different from them. This person had entered the sea of stars long ago, crossed the way, and even came to the Dragon Bone Temple, taking away all the opportunities in the temple. From this, it could be seen that his crossing was also a success. However, it was impossible for him to think of such a method to use a formation to confuse the heavens. He must have used another method to cross the sea of stars. As for Fang Xing and the others, because they could not think of such a method, they were forced to cooperate and use a formation to cross the sea of stars. But it was also at this moment that Mister Ghost's words caused a huge uproar!
They were already at odds with each other, and the conflict had deepened. If there was a new method, wouldn't it solve a huge problem?
"Is Mister Ghost's words true?"
In an instant, the surrounding people all looked towards Mister Ghost, shocked and anxious.
"Haha, his method is actually very simple. We should have thought of it long ago …"
Mister Ghost laughed softly when he heard this, and sighed with emotion. Then, he gently moved to the edge of the Dragon Bone Temple, raised his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Fellow cultivators, did you not notice anything different in the sea of stars in front of us compared to other places?"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Xiu and the others raised their heads to look, and then their pupils shrank slightly.
There was not much difference. In front of Fang Xing's sea of stars, there were seven or eight withered corpses of Sea Demon soldiers hidden by the meteorite rocks. This was not a rare sight on their journey. Basically, in the two months they had crossed the sea of stars, they would discover such strange corpses every few days. At first, they were a little surprised, but later on, they no longer found it strange. However, what was different from other places was that the strange corpses they encountered along the way were scattered about one or two, but at this moment, there were seven or eight corpses in front of them.
"When we first discovered the withered corpses, we were not surprised. It was probably King Jiu Ling sending his subordinates to test the dangers of the sea of stars. But along the way, I found it strange. If he needed to use the lives of his subordinates to test the sea of stars, why are there still withered corpses everywhere along the way? Could it be that the method used by the Nine Spirit King required him to sacrifice a subordinate every once in a while? It is precisely because of this that I have been thinking of ways to find out the intentions of the Nine Spirit King along the way … "
Mr Ghost spoke in a deep voice, his gaze hidden in the black fog was deep, "Until I came to the vicinity of this Dragon Bone Temple, I then discovered a clue! I've cultivated the Soul since a young age, and my senses are extremely strong. As soon as I arrived here, I noticed the remnants of a mysterious energy that forced the darkness creatures in the surroundings to not dare approach this place. "
"Originally, we thought it was the Dragon Bone Temple's own aura and deterrence. However, we later discovered a meteorite with a creature of darkness living in the bone box inside the temple. That creature of darkness was also able to move freely. It even nearly injured us when we opened the bone box."
"Although this might be a backup plan that King Jiu Ling set up for us, and it is indeed terrifying, it also shows that the Dragon Bone Temple itself is actually unable to deter the creatures of darkness. Otherwise, if that meteorite was placed in the Dragon Bone Temple, it would be immediately deterred and probably wouldn't even be able to move. How could it possibly threaten us who came later?"
"Huh?"
Zhu Xiu's eyes gradually turned solemn as he listened.
Previously, when they discovered that the creatures of darkness did not dare to approach the Dragon Bone Temple, they subconsciously thought that it was the effect of the Dragon Bone Temple itself. However, now that they thought about it carefully, they realized that it was indeed not the case. After all, such creatures of darkness originally existed in the Dragon Bone Temple!
"Then, Mr Ghost, what do you mean?"
"The thing that deterred the creatures of darkness from approaching the Dragon Bone Temple is not the Dragon Bone Temple itself, but the remnant aura of the Nine Spirit King!"
Mr Ghost's indifferent words immediately shocked Zhu Xiu.
"Mr Ghost, are you trying to say that even the creatures of darkness are afraid of the Nine-headed Worm's aura?"
Mr Wen frowned tightly, and his voice seemed to contain some mockery, "Although the Nine Spirit King is indeed powerful, it is not to such an earth-shattering degree, right? If he had such an ability, why would he need to sacrifice so many of his subordinates along the way? "
"Or perhaps, it is because he sacrificed the lives of his subordinates that he achieved this?"
Mr Ghost's expression did not change, and he only said indifferently.
"Mr Ghost, what do you mean …"
Be it Mr Lan or Mr Wen, all of them vaguely guessed something, and they could not help but suck in a cold breath.
"It's obvious that the Jiu Ling King is different from us. We used a method to confuse the heavenly secrets so that these creatures of darkness wouldn't be able to discover our true bodies. But the Jiu Ling King has clearly discovered a method that can intimidate the creatures of darkness. It's like we're both crossing the sea, but we're using a boat as a raft, braving the raging waves and risking being overturned at any time. But the Jiu Ling King has directly used a Water Splitting Pearl and all the seawater can't get close to him. This method is much stronger than ours!"
In Mr Ghost's words, there was admiration and indistinctly some lament.
"What method did the Nine Bug Head use? Do you have any clues?"
Mr Lan seemed to have realized something, and asked anxiously.
When Mr Ghost heard this, he sighed softly. Suddenly, his wrist shook, and a black rope flew out. It stretched out for a thousand feet, and pulled a withered corpse in front of him. Pressing it with his hand, he sighed softly, and said with a deep gaze, "If I am not wrong, then the secret of the Nine Spirit King crossing the sea of stars should be inside this withered corpse …"
As he spoke, he suddenly pressed his palm, mana vibrated, that withered corpse, suddenly exploded. Countless fragments floated in the starry sky, looking extremely strange. Zhu Xiu and the others hurriedly used their divine senses to sweep over, and with this look, they could not help but be shocked. Before this, they had seen many strange corpses, and only knew that these strange corpses had no qi and blood, only a withered shell was left. But they had never thought of cutting it open to take a look, and now they discovered something strange. They were shocked to discover that within the strange corpse, the internal organs, meridians, all showed a faint gold colour, like metal. Once exposed, it turned into specks of dust …
The withered old woman and Mr Lan saw it, their expressions strange, and pulled the other withered corpses over.
They all cut them open to take a look, and discovered that they all looked the same as the strange corpses under Mr Ghost's palm.
"This … how exactly did this form?"
Mr Lan could not help but quietly asked, his thoughts solemn.
"It's very simple. We've always wanted to avoid this creature of darkness, but the Nine Spirit King's thoughts are different from ours. He's actually raising this creature of darkness, and using the powerful aura of the creature of darkness he raised to intimidate and open up a path …"
Ghost Sheng's words revealed the mystery, but made Zhu Xiu and the others greatly shocked.
"Our knowledge is actually still too shallow!"
Mr Ghost knew that the others could not understand, quietly explained, "We only thought, these things are a strange dark creatures, surviving by devouring other creatures' qi and blood and mana, but actually think about it, in this vast starry sky, not even one person would come here in thousands of years, how did they survive? From what I see, this is not a kind of living creature, but a kind of substance, the exact opposite of the mana that we have cultivated, like the two ends of the magnetic pole, like water and fire, it itself has no life, therefore it cannot be called a living creature, it is only that it will be attracted by our qi and blood and mana, that is why it will react! "
"Amazing …"
Everyone was shocked by Mr Ghost's analysis, there was silence, but Fang Xing at this moment, his face full of admiration.
Mr Ghost smiled faintly, did not answer Fang Xing's question, and continued, "And just now, when I wandered around the Dragon Bone Temple, I used my divine sense to investigate, and could be considered to have some gains, through the aura that the Jiu Ling King left behind, I finally understood what he was doing, haha, actually, what he did, was even simpler than we imagined, he only chose the sacrificial offering, took the initiative to touch this dark substance, and then used its qi and blood and soul to nourish it, using its flesh as a pill furnace, he was able to refine a neutralizing pill …"
As he spoke, he suddenly waved his palm in the starry sky, and immediately, wisps of aura gathered towards his palm, turning into the shape of a spinning Void Core. It was black and white, slowly rotating like a Tai Chi symbol, looking extremely strange. This was impressively the remnant aura of the Void Core that he had used his powerful spirit power to manifest the original appearance of this Void Core!
After he had gathered the Core Qi from the starry sky, the surrounding creatures of darkness that had originally avoided the Dragon Bone Temple gradually began to gather closer, as if the aura that they were originally afraid of had disappeared. Mr Ghost looked at the approaching creatures of darkness, but he only shook the Void Core in his palm, and the aura spread out, causing them to immediately avoid it again!
This feeling was as if he was really holding a Water Repelling Pearl in his hand, and could make all the seawater retreat.
"The spirit as the fire, the qi and blood as the firewood, using a person to refine a pill … This Jiu Ling King is really ruthless …"
Mister Lan and the others could not help but sigh softly, their voices filled with emotion.
Now, they finally understood how the withered corpses they had seen along the way came about. They were not devoured by the dark matter at all. Although they looked similar, in reality, Jiu Ling King had used their bodies as pill furnaces, forcibly draining their qi, blood, and spirits. All the withered corpses were actually abandoned cauldrons. The insides of his withered corpses were all pale gold, which was the color that would only appear after being burned by the Samadhi True Fire. How ruthless was this method? Those were all his subordinates!
After all, after refining this pill, their souls would probably be completely destroyed, and they would not even have the chance to reincarnate.
However, Mister Lan and the others did not have much time to sigh. Very quickly, they said excitedly, "Then what about us?"
Mr Ghost nodded lightly, looked outside the Dragon Bone Temple, and said in a low voice, "We just happen to have such a cauldron, don't we?"
Swoosh …
Without waiting for the others to react, Fang Xing's expression suddenly changed.
