While Jing Tian and the others were busy trying to break the barrier, Mu Qingxiao and the Heavenly Ghost Emperor had already returned to the Cold Yin Region.
The Cold Yin Region was completely different from half a month ago.
The number of ghost cultivators in Forgotten River City was obviously several times more than before. The descendants of the ghost clan in the city were still living their own lives and were unaware of the changes in their surroundings.
Walking in the city, Mu Qingxiao nodded slightly.
It seemed that the children of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor did have some tricks up their sleeves. They had completely controlled the Cold Yin Region without anyone noticing.
Not even the slightest bit of information was leaked.
The other ghost kings probably did not know that the Dual Fiend Ghost King had died and the Heavenly Ghost Emperor had replaced him.
Concealing her aura, Mu Qingxiao leisurely walked on the prosperous streets of Forgotten River City. Her gaze constantly swept across the street stalls, and her target was naturally all kinds of spiritual herbs.
The spiritual herbs in the Ghost Realm were usually purchased by the ghost kings or higher-ups.
Only those that were not purchased would be sold cheaply on the streets because they could not use them. Many high-grade spiritual herbs were unexpectedly cheap.
Mu Qingxiao's harvest in the Ghost Realm was extraordinarily great. As for the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, he had already rushed back to prepare to open the space door from the Ghost Realm to the Human Realm.
It seemed that Mu Qingxiao was equivalent to a plague to him, and he could not avoid her at all costs.
After strolling around Forgotten River City for an entire day, the subordinates sent by the Heavenly Ghost Emperor informed her that the teleportation formation was ready and could be activated at any time.
Mu Qingxiao did not want to stay in the gloomy Ghost Realm for too long. She hurried to the temple in Forgotten River City and went to the teleportation formation with the Heavenly Ghost Emperor.
At this time, dozens of ghost cultivators stood in different positions on the pitch-black plain. Their hands formed seals, and a huge amount of energy merged into the void …
Not long after, the space in the center rippled, and a black light rushed up, tearing a crack in the sky.
It was as if two invisible hands were slowly opening the crack, and finally forming a huge space door, which emitted a lingering aura of vicissitudes.
The space door opened, and the Heavenly Ghost Emperor cupped his fists at Mu Qingxiao. His eyes were full of sincere gratitude. "Your Excellency, I have important matters to attend to in the Cold Yin Region. Take care."
"Take care."
Mu Qingxiao cupped her fists and said nothing more. She turned into a beam of sword light and entered the spatial door in the blink of an eye.
When Mu Qingxiao disappeared, the spatial door also closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, it disappeared, revealing a dark sky.
At the same time, in Elysium.
In the red magma world, Jing Tian held the demonic sword and continuously slashed at the spatial barrier in front of him. His face revealed a miserable expression.
"White tofu. I've been chopping it for an entire day. My arms are already swollen. Let's just use your Shushan's Sigil!" Jing Tian gripped the Demon Sword as his arms trembled visibly.
Xu Changqing revealed a helpless expression and said, "Brother Jing, you have to work harder. More than half of the barrier's energy has already been consumed. We will be able to break it very soon."
"Big Brother, do you want to rest for a while?" Long Kui stood to the side with a distressed look on her face.
…
…
In the human world, in a valley a hundred miles away from Fengdu, there was a huge lake in the valley. The lake water was clear and eerie.
At this moment, ripples appeared in the center of the lake. The ripples spread out wave after wave. The lake water was constantly turbulent, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, a beam of black light shot into the sky and connected with the surrounding mountains. A huge crack appeared above the lake.
The crack slowly opened up and finally formed a pitch-black door.
"Whoosh, whoosh …"
Not long after, a bright beam of sword light swept out from the pitch-black door as if it wanted to light up the world.
After the sword rushed out of the spatial door, it did not stop. Instead, it turned into a beam of sword light and swept toward Fengdu as fast as lightning.
Dozens of seconds later, the sword emitted a sparkling light and finally revealed a slender figure.
Looking at Fengdu under his feet, there was not a single ghost in the city. There were also no traces of life in his divine sense.
It seemed that after the Heavenly Ghost Emperor seized the Realm of Cold Yin, he transferred all the ghost descendants of Fengdu to the ghost world.
Although Fengdu was a ghost city, it was in the human world.
Fengdu City was empty. Mu Qingxiao's figure flashed and appeared in the ghost palace in the blink of an eye.
All the maidservants in the ghost palace had been transferred. Only the killing arrays in the main hall and the side halls were left.
Mu Qingxiao found an empty resting room and set up a boundary. Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes slightly. His divine sense appeared in the Yin Yang Jade.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit Pearl had been transferred to the Yin Yang Jade. Mu Qingxiao activated his mental cultivation technique and controlled the soul sword to refine the Fire Spirit Pearl.
The Fire Spirit Pearl contained an extremely vast amount of fire-attribute energy. After refining it all, Mu Qingxiao believed that his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. The power of his divine fire would probably increase as well.
"Boom, boom …"
As the pure energy in the Fire Spirit Pearl was drawn out, a terrifyingly high temperature suddenly surged up.
The terrifying temperature was like an endless river. With Mu Qingxiao as the center, it swept out in all directions. The entire resting room turned red.
In the end, apart from Mu Qingxiao and the boundary itself, everything in the surroundings started to liquefy and disintegrate.
Not long after, the entire side hall melted under the terrifyingly high temperature.
Mu Qingxiao did not seem to feel it. He was like an old monk in meditation. He kept guiding the energy in the Fire Spirit Pearl to his limbs and bones. His entire body turned red.
White smoke lingered above his head, and hot steam rose.
Fortunately, Mu Qingxiao was not afraid of high temperatures. Compared to absorbing the Earth Spirit Pearl and the Thunder Spirit Pearl, the Fire Spirit Pearl was undoubtedly much simpler. Thus, he could draw out the energy in the Fire Spirit Pearl without restraint.
The consequences of doing so were obvious. The entire palace disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even the ground sank a few feet under the high temperature.
The pure fire-attribute energy that was drawn out flowed in his limbs and bones, constantly tempering Mu Qingxiao's cells, meridians, and physical body.
Mu Qingxiao was already at the fourth stage of the Mahayana Realm. The amount of energy or spirit energy needed for a breakthrough was simply mind-boggling.
As he absorbed the pure energy, a spirit energy vortex appeared above him. With Fengdu as the center, the spirit energy in a radius of tens of miles and even hundreds of miles was constantly converging.
"Boom, boom …"
As the vortex grew bigger and bigger, a huge wave suddenly appeared in the sky.
The vast spirit energy in heaven and earth, even the energy of all living beings and nature, converged in the air as if resonating with each other. Finally, it surged in the same direction.
The spirit energy in a radius of hundreds of miles was sucked dry.
Even the living beings living in the area suddenly felt the air become oppressive. Even breathing became difficult.
