Five swords as one. This was the combination of a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator's five swords. Its power was unimaginable. The sword slashed down, bringing with it the sound of wind and thunder that made one's heart palpitate. When the tip of the sword slashed through the void, light and shadow could be seen distorting.
Even the immortal array was sliced open! Can Yu and the rest were inexplicably horrified. What kind of strength was needed to tear open an immortal array with one sword!?
Cha!
There was a crisp sound like a watermelon being split open. Under the shocking sword, the Ghost Emperor Hachibara, who was tightly suppressed by the Soul Locking Array, was also split open like a watermelon. The surface of the black ghostly fog was sliced open.
Ghostly aura surged out like thick smoke.
This ghostly aura was not released by the Ghost Emperor, but the essence of the Ghost Emperor. It was like a cultivator's spiritual force.
Wu Jinhui was overjoyed when he saw the surging ghostly aura. "It really belongs to the Ghost Emperor. This ghostly aura is very pure. Friend Ye, do you want this ghostly aura?"
Ye Kong looked at the crack in the ghostly fog and shook his head. Although he knew that the ghostly aura was good stuff, he was not good at ghost corpses, so it was not very useful for him to keep it.
However, this thing was very useful to the Yin Corpse Demon Sect. Hearing that Ye Kong did not want it, Wu Jinhui immediately took out a black soul banner and made a hand seal. The surrounding chilly wind blew over and sucked all the ghostly aura into the banner.
Seeing that soul banner, Can Yu nodded. "Million Soul Refining Banner. This banner is a treasure."
Hearing Can Yu's words, the other cultivators looked over enviously. Soul banners were divided according to the number of refined souls in them. Hundred Soul Banner, Five Hundred Soul Banner, Thousand Soul Banner …
Soul Streamers were not expensive to make, but they were very powerful. Therefore, many evil cultivators liked to make these things. Some even massacred mortals for the sake of Soul Refining Streamers or stirred up wars between mortal countries just to collect living souls.
However, if they were really considered treasures, they would be at least 100,000 soul streamers. If they reached 1,000,000 soul streamers, then they would be real treasures. As for 10,000,000 soul streamers or 100,000,000 soul streamers, they were basically legends. No one had ever seen them before.
Feeling everyone's envious gazes, Wu Jinhui smiled and said, "It's not done yet. This Million Soul Refining Banner is different from the Thousand Soul Banner or the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. There are too many living souls. It's like a million mortal armies. There needs to be a few generals."
Can Yu nodded and said, "That's right. At least a few Soul Formation stage souls are needed as primary souls."
Wu Jinhui smiled and said, "It would be better if it was higher."
As he spoke, he stole a glance at the crack on the Ghost Emperor's body. He knew that the most valuable thing, the Ghost Emperor's Primordial Spirit, was inside.
If he could absorb the Ghost Emperor's primordial spirit and refine it into the main soul, the Million Soul Refining Banner would be much more powerful! However, Wu Jinhui only dared to think about it. He didn't dare to do anything.
Soon, the black smoke dissipated, revealing a golden, palm-sized person. It was trying to escape in a panic. Unfortunately, it was trapped by the Soul Locking Array. It kept bumping around and had nowhere to run.
Ghost Infant. Ghosts could also form Yuanying. It wasn't strange. It would be strange if the Ghost Emperor didn't have Yuanying.
Seeing this Ghost Infant, all the cultivators revealed greedy eyes. Even in Yunyao, a Yuanying that was equivalent to the Void Training stage of the Ghost Emperor was one of a kind. Of course, there was no need to mention Cangnan. Their cultivation level was even lower than Yunyao.
Ye Kong wouldn't give the Ghost Infant to anyone else. He raised his hand and released the divine ability Lu Shan's Claw. A huge void hand scooped up the Ghost Infant and sent it over.
Good. The Claw of Lushan had become the Baby Teasing (Yin) Hand. It could be considered an improvement. Ye Kong found it a little funny. He reached out and took the Ghost Emperor Hachibara's Ghost Infant.
The Ghost Infant hurriedly begged for mercy. "Friend Ye, Cultivator Ye, please spare me this time on account of my hard work in cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years."
Ye Kong ignored him and took out a wooden box.
The Ghost Infant said again, "Actually, I didn't eat many people. Friend Ye, I really didn't eat many. Those who didn't leave behind their corpses weren't dead …"
Ye Kong still didn't believe it. He directly put the Ghost Emperor Yuanying into the wooden box and closed it. He heard the Ghost Infant shouting inside, "Hmph, you'll let me out soon. Just you wait and see!"
Ye Kong put a seal on the wooden box. With a flash of golden light, the Ghost Emperor Yuanying was finally sealed.
Wolf King's charming laughter sounded in his mind again. "Master, this is a Void Training stage ghost infant. If I eat it …"
Ye Kong said, "Even if you eat it, you'll still be a coward!"
The Ghost Emperor was killed and the array was gone. Can Yu and the rest returned the array flags to Wu Jinhui and were free.
Although Wu Jinhui had leaked the sect's secret array, he had obtained all of the Ghost Emperor's Ghost Qi. It could be considered a great harvest.
But the rest didn't gain anything. Old Lady Mo pointed to the many storage bags in the center of the high platform and asked, "Ye Kong, these …"
Everyone looked at Ye Kong. Unknowingly, he had already become the leader in everyone's heart.
Ye Kong said, "They went to snatch the primordial treasures and Connate spiritual treasures from the immortal abode's core. We can't return empty-handed. Go and distribute the treasures left behind by the dead."
The twenty cultivators were overjoyed. Each of them got a storage bag. As for Can Yu, he happily kept the remains of Ji Hang's Iron Armored Puppet.
Ye Kong looked up at the Pulo Heavenly Staircase and sighed. "The answer is right in front of me, but it's so far away. Sigh, f * ck my ancestors. I wish I wouldn't be so impulsive one day."
After Ye Kong said that, the duration of the Beast Spirit Talisman was up. The scales and dragon horns on his body disappeared rapidly. His cultivation level also fell rapidly. In a short while, he returned to his original form.
He no longer had any clothes or pants. They were torn. Ye Kong hurriedly changed into a new set of long robes.
Let's not talk about Ye Kong. Let's talk about Celestial Being Yang Ding. As Ye Kong changed his clothes, Celestial Being Yang Ding had already taken the last step of the Pulo Heavenly Staircase.
"A thousand steps are made from flat ground. Ten thousand steps are difficult. My feet hurt." Celestial Being Yang Ding was in a good mood. He could not help but recite a crooked poem. Then, he swept his horsetail whisk and carried it on his arm.
He was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he turned around and looked back. The other staircases were still fighting fiercely. In the distance, Ye Kong was already very small.
From this angle, Celestial Being Yang Ding felt a little smug. "Hmph, Ye Kong, you fool. So what if you killed the Ghost Emperor? I'm going to get the treasure in the immortal abode."
"Looking down on the masses from the top of the Pulo Heavenly Staircase is indeed different." Celestial Being Yang Ding was proud. He turned around and walked to the front of the small golden door.
He had passed the second stage. He was one step closer to the treasure. Celestial Being Yang Ding calmed himself down and pushed the door open …
Huh? Why couldn't the door open?
He pushed it again, but it still wouldn't open!
"The lock is broken?" Celestial Being Yang Ding was speechless. "Why is the lock broken? It couldn't have broken earlier or later, but it just had to drop the ball now. Am I, an old immortal, so unlucky? "
Celestial Being Yang Ding was anxious. He no longer cared about the demeanor of an expert. He pushed with all his might, elbowed, kicked, and cast spells …
He even shouted, "Exalted Immortal, open the door! I'm here. I'm the first … Exalted Immortal, the lock is broken … "
But soon, Uncle Ji's voice came from the sky above him.
"The Ghost Emperor Hachibara has been eliminated. The second plan's goal has been achieved. The first plan's execution has been stopped …"
As soon as the voice sounded, everyone on the Pulo Heavenly Staircase fell silent. They looked up at the sky.
Meanwhile, Yang Ding shouted, "Exalted Immortal, Senior, I'm here. Open the door, the lock is broken!"
Uncle Ji ignored him and continued, "With the change of the plan, the winner of the second stage has also changed."
After Uncle Ji finished speaking, the Life and Death Bridge above the Netherworld River disappeared. Then, at the place where the Ghost Emperor Hachibara died, a golden staircase descended.
This staircase was several times wider than the Pulo Heavenly Staircase. It was light gold in color, and the steps were clean and smooth. There were no messy carvings. It was magnificent. At the end of the staircase high in the sky, a double door was completely open.
The cultivators on the Life and Death Bridge all exclaimed, "The Pulo Heavenly Staircase has appeared here too!"
Uncle Ji said, "This isn't the Pulo Heavenly Staircase. There are no ordinary living beings on it. This is a golden path, a golden path without any danger! Moreover, the golden path has no limit on the number of people. As long as you walk up and enter the door, you will have successfully passed the second stage. "
Ye Kong and the others were overjoyed. They had thought that they had no chance of passing the second stage. Unexpectedly, another golden path appeared, and it was even better than the Pulo Heavenly Staircase.
The cultivators on the Pulo Heavenly Staircase were stunned. They had been fighting over it, but now they had a bad feeling.
Yang Ding shouted, "Exalted Immortal, that's the golden path, and we're the Pulo Heavenly Staircase. There's no conflict between the two sides … Although they killed the Ghost Emperor Hachibara, we also killed many demon beasts. Senior, please open the door for us."
Uncle Ji smiled and said, "I'm sorry. Once the second plan is completed, the first plan will be closed. I didn't set this rule, but it was set by my master back then. This stage is a test of one's leadership ability. In my opinion, all of you are selfish and have no leadership ability at all. Therefore, all of you are failures. You will be teleported out of the Immortal Abode. "
The cultivators on this side immediately complained. The Perfected Lord Divine Lord who rushed over later cried out in regret. If they hadn't been greedy, wouldn't they have passed the second stage successfully?
Celestial Being Yang Ding was about to vomit blood. He roared, "Exalted Immortal, this is too unfair. I worked so hard to get here, but you closed the door and didn't count. You're too much. How can you trick people like this?"
He was so depressed. Previously, he had thought of following Ye Kong closely, but he had wasted opportunities time and time again. In the end, he still wasted his last opportunity.
On the fifth staircase, Ji Hang and Hao Yilong were in a daze. Ji Hang fell to the ground with a thud. Hao Yilong let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly. "Pan Dong said long ago that if I followed Ye Kong, I would definitely gain something. I followed him until now, but in the end, I couldn't keep up. All my efforts were in vain … I can't blame anyone else. It's me who didn't keep up. If I didn't follow Ye Kong, how could I get any treasures?"
Then, there was a flash of white light. On one side of the Bridge of Life and Death, all the cultivators on the Pulo Heavenly Staircase were teleported out of the Immortal Abode. Their treasure hunt in the Immortal Abode had ended.
