"Ghost Emperor!"
Below the high clay platform, the injured cultivators all had awe in their eyes. Even Celestial Being Yang Ding and the others were stunned.
The Ghost Emperor was said to be the highest level of the Underworld Ghost Technique. His cultivation level was far beyond the Soul Formation Stage. Although it was recorded in ancient books, Yunyao had never appeared before.
Legend had it that a Ghost Emperor could cause chaos in the Immortal Cultivation World. But now, a living Ghost Emperor was right in front of them …
Celestial Being Yang Ding tasted bitterness in his mouth. He took a few steps back and bumped into Pei Hang.
Pei Hang was also depressed. He didn't care about mocking Yang Ding and sent a voice transmission, "Old Immortal, we really kicked an iron plate this time. I didn't expect to have to kill the Ghost Emperor to enter the core of the Immortal Mansion …" Pei Hang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This Five Elements Immortal Mansion core is simply not meant for people to enter."
Yang Ding sighed. "Yes, with a Ghost Emperor guarding the door, who can enter? Isn't this asking for death? I think the cultivators here … "Celestial Being Yang Ding finished speaking and shook his head." I'm afraid not many will be able to get out alive. "
Pei Hang looked back at the Teleportation Array in the distance and smiled bitterly. "Even with my strength, I don't dare to say that I can escape there safely."
Ye Kong and the others were also shocked. They didn't expect to see a Ghost Emperor here. Even with the power of Osteosaurus, he didn't have a chance of winning against the Ghost Emperor.
Wolf King was so scared that he turned into a green ball of light and shrank back into the Beast Soul Banner.
Ye Kong said angrily, "This cowardly guy has no loyalty. He does this every time!"
Hao Yilong smiled bitterly. "Don't blame him. To be honest, I still want to find a hole to hide in."
Pan Dong shouted in despair, "It's impossible, it's impossible! Fa Yan said that there was no danger to his life, so how could there be a Ghost Emperor? Are my Dharma words not accurate? "
"Roar!" Above the altar, the Ghost Emperor had completely awakened after devouring countless ghosts. Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the ghostly mist that filled the sky shrank and formed into his mountain-like body.
Not long after, a pitch-black Ghost Emperor, several hundred zhang tall and with a single blood-red horn on his head, came to life. His entire body had materialized. He stood high up with bloodshot eyes, looking down at the cultivators below with contempt, like a celestial being from the Upper Realm looking down on ants.
There were still over a hundred cultivators below. All of them took a step back. However, none of them dared to turn around and run. Attracting the Ghost Emperor's attention would only lead to an even faster death.
Now, no one was thinking about treasures anymore. As long as they could escape, they would be thankful to the heavens.
However, against such a powerful Ghost Emperor, how many people could escape alive?
At this moment, a loud voice came from high up in the sky.
"Ba Huang, wait a moment." An old voice came from the dark sky, like thunder.
Hearing this voice, the Ghost Emperor raised his head and roared twice in dissatisfaction. However, he was very respectful of the person who spoke, so he did not dare to refute, nor did he dare to give orders. He could only stare at the cultivators below with bloodshot eyes.
"Someone is speaking?"
"There's a controller in the Immortal Mansion?"
"The Five Elements Immortal Mansion is actually under someone's control!"
All the cultivators were indescribably shocked. This discovery was no less shocking than seeing the Ghost Emperor. After all, the Five Elements Immortal Mansion had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. If it had a master, wouldn't that mean that it was hundreds of thousands of years old?
"Exalted Immortal is benevolent." Celestial Being Yang Ding was indeed cunning and shameless. He was the first to kneel down and shout, "Exalted Immortal, please forgive us. We were misled by others and alarmed Exalted Immortal. This was not our intention. Exalted Immortal, please spare our lives. We will not dare to do it again. If Exalted Immortal is unable to calm down, please punish the few masterminds in front and let us off. "
Everyone secretly thought that Celestial Being Yang Ding was indeed shameless and vicious. Just now, when he recommended Ye Kong to lead the team, he was so high-spirited and impassioned. Now, with just one sentence, he sold out Ye Kong and the rest. She even dressed herself up as innocent as possible. Brilliant, brilliant!
Although everyone thought this way, they still knelt down and imitated Yang Ding to shout, "Exalted Immortal, please spare our lives. We were also forced to follow you!"
More than a hundred people knelt down. Only Ye Kong, Hao Yilong, Can Yu and the rest remained standing.
Pan Dong knelt down and reached out to pull Ye Kong. However, he realized that this fellow seemed to be in a daze. He did not know if he was scared silly, but he did not react at all.
Pan Dong could only pull Hao Yilong and say anxiously, "Divine Lord Yilong, hurry and kneel down. Don't anger Exalted Immortal! Otherwise, both of us will die without a burial place! "
Hao Yilong flung his hand away and scolded, "Are you stupid? Now that Yang Ding said that we were the ones who instigated them, if we kneel down, wouldn't that be admitting that we were misled? I just want to stand and defend myself! "
When Pan Dong heard that, it seemed like what Hao Yilong said made sense. He hurriedly asked, "Then should I stand up as well?"
"No need. If you kneel, then kneel. Don't move."
"Oh." Pan Dong nodded and asked again, "Ye Kong, he …"
Hao Yilong was depressed. "I don't know what he's doing. Why is he daydreaming at this time? He really doesn't want to live anymore. "
Actually, Ye Kong recognized the voice. It was actually the voice of The Black Robe's First Elder!
In the main hall of the Mustard Seed Tower, Ye Kong and the First Elder, who was also Uncle Ji, had more than one conversation. Therefore, when the voice in the sky sounded, Ye Kong recognized it immediately.
If someone said that he recognized it, then he recognized it. Why was he in a daze for so long? Was Ye Kong's brain not enough to process it?
Indeed, Ye's brain was not enough to process it. Uncle Ji, the First Elder of The Black Robe, the master of the Five Elements Immortal Mansion … Which was his real identity? Did he have any other identities?
What was his purpose? Why did he establish The Black Robe? Why did he open the Five Elements Immortal Mansion once every 200 years? Why did he let himself stay in the Mustard Seed Tower for a long time? What was his purpose for opening the core of the Immortal Mansion today?
What was his relationship with the Five Element Cultivator?
In short, there were too many questions. Even though Ye claimed to be a smart person, he could not figure out the key point in a short time.
Since he really could not figure it out, Ye Kong came back to his senses and looked at the sky.
From the sky, he heard Uncle Ji's voice again. "Don't panic. I'm just a housekeeper. I'm not an Exalted Immortal. I don't want to take your lives …"
Everyone's eyes flashed with surprise. Housekeeper? The housekeeper of the Immortal Mansion? Then the master of the Immortal Mansion …
Unlike everyone else, Ye Kong's eyes flashed.
Housekeeper! Yes, Uncle Ji said the same thing when he was in the Mustard Seed Tower!
Could it be that the Mustard Seed Tower was in the core of the Five Elements Immortal Mansion?
Previously, when he glanced at the core hall from afar, he seemed to have seen a tower erected behind the hall.
Ye Kong was excited by this speculation. However, he could not be stupid and shout, "Uncle Ji, it's me. I know you. I know that the Mustard Seed Tower is in the core of the Immortal Mansion …"
If he really shouted like that, he would die a quick death.
Uncle Ji continued, "On the contrary, I'm here to help you pass the test and seize the treasures! Now, you are facing the first test, the Ghost Emperor Hachibara. "
The cultivators who were happy at first changed their expressions again. This Eight Desolation Ghost King was too powerful. If they had to kill him to pass the test, who would be able to pass the test?
Fortunately, Uncle Ji continued, "To pass this test, you are not required to kill the Ghost Emperor Hachibara. You are only required to successfully ascend the high platform and enter the safe zone. Then, you will pass the test."
After Uncle Ji finished speaking, the cultivators saw that behind the huge body of the Ghost Emperor Hachibara, a river appeared out of nowhere. This river was very magical. They could not see where it came from, nor could they see where it went. It lay horizontally three feet above the altar.
"It's actually a river suspended in the air!" The eyes of Ye Kong and the others lit up. Although there were many strange things in the Immortal Cultivation World, they had never seen a river suspended in the air.
Uncle Ji's voice sounded, "This river is called the Yin River of the Netherworld. As long as you successfully get rid of the Ghost Emperor Hachibara and reach the other side of the Yin River, you will pass the first test."
"No wonder it could give birth to the Ghost Emperor. So there's a Yin River of the Netherworld here!" Wang Xin, who had been silent all this while, exclaimed. It seemed like he had some understanding of the Yin River of the Netherworld.
Because he shouted, all the cultivators in the surroundings heard him. Obviously, no one had heard of this river. They all looked over and one of the cultivators even said, "Fellow Daoist in front, tell us what you know so that we can know it too."
Wang Xin didn't hold back and continued, "The Yin River of the Netherworld has neither a head nor a tail. Legend has it that it flows out from the Netherworld and into the Netherworld. It is the boundary between the Yin and Yang … This river cannot be crossed by humans or ghosts. It separates the two worlds and is forever separated!"
When the cultivators heard this, they started to clamor. "Ghosts cannot cross. It's reasonable to block the Ghost Emperor. But if humans cannot cross, how can we pass the first test?"
Perhaps hearing Wang Xin's words, Uncle Ji in the sky said, "I have a way to let you cross."
Following that, a golden light flashed, and a golden bridge appeared on the river that was suspended in the air.
Uncle Ji said, "This is the Bridge of Life and Death. As long as you cross it, you will reach the safe side. But I have to remind you that I don't ask you to kill the Ghost Emperor, but the Ghost Emperor can kill you! Passing the three tests will bring you countless benefits, but please think carefully. Are you willing to die here for the benefits? Now, you have one last chance to choose. Stay or leave! "
When Uncle Ji finished speaking, the valleys around the basin closed up. All the passages were blocked and the teleportation array at the mouth of the valley dimmed. At the same time, another teleportation array appeared beside them.
The only teleportation array.
To stay or to leave, the choice was once again placed in front of everyone.
If they stayed, they would have a slim chance of obtaining the treasure. If they left, they could leave with the treasure. One choice, one last chance to choose.
The cultivators stood beside the teleportation array.
After a while, an injured cultivator finally said, "Ghost Emperor Of Hachibara, I don't have the strength to escape. Besides, the first test is already so difficult. There are two more to go. I'm leaving. I don't want to play anymore. "
He walked into the teleportation array. With a flash of white light, he disappeared.
Then, many other cultivators walked into the teleportation array. They might or might not have obtained the treasure, but they chose to leave. As long as they were alive, everything was fine.
Out of the one hundred and fifty cultivators, more than fifty had left.
As for Ye Kong's team, some people thought about it and decided to leave.
