The other dead spirits could not take half a step into the "Consonance Palace" without the permission of the Nine Spirit Highness. However, this dead spirit had first stayed in the small hall with the Nine Spirit Highness, and after the "Consonance Palace" had been rebuilt, it had then stayed in the "Consonance Palace" with the Nine Spirit Highness, never leaving even half a step.
To be able to receive such favor from the Nine Spirit Highness, how could they not be envious and jealous to the point of insanity?
However, where did this fellow come from? He had never seen a Level 16 Death Spirit in the city before. It should have been recruited by the Nine Spirit Highness from the "Domain". In this Nine Spirit City, a Death Spirit of the 16th step could be said to be the number one expert other than the Nine Spirit Highness.
Just as the group of dead spirits were letting their imaginations run wild, the gazes of the nine spirits had already swept across their bodies. Soon after, the cold voice of the nine spirits rang out, "You, you, you … And you, follow me to Dongming City!"
Every time he called out a dead spirit, a stream of black death aura would spit out from the nine spirits' mouths and enter their bodies.
"Yes!"
This death aura was extremely pure, and all the dead spirits that obtained this death aura were indescribably excited. In just a short moment, there were nine fifteenth step dead spirits that were hit by the nine spirits, and the dead spirits that were not hit by the nine spirits all had extremely disappointed expressions on their faces, but none of them dared to show any dissatisfaction.
"Let's go!"
"Yes sir!"
With a flap of the Nine Spirits' wings, a hurricane immediately rolled, and Pang Shuo's nine-colored body soared into the sky, whistling towards the west of the city. Behind the nine spirits, Tang Huan and the other nine fifteenth step undead followed closely, and in an instant, the eleven figures had left the Nine Spirit City far behind.
They moved as fast as lightning, flying through the air.
From time to time, a city of various sizes would fly past them. The Nine Spirits no longer used the aura of death to conceal their bodies. Pang Shuo's gorgeous, nine-colored body was like a bright lamp that revealed her identity. Wherever they passed, even those with higher cultivation than her would send them off from afar.
After a few days, a huge city that was many times larger than Jiu Ling City finally appeared in the sky.
That was Dongming City. There were countless dead spirits living in the city, and its scale was no less than a large city like the Crimson Radiance Sect's "Jade Imperial City". The sky above the city was not as dark as the other areas, but had become bright. Of course, this place was still barren.
The moment he saw Dongming City, Tang Huan felt as if his eyes had lit up and he had suddenly become enlightened.
However, around Dongming City, there was an endless amount of deathly aura. The deathly aura condensed into a black mist that surrounded the entire city, leaving only the east, south, west, and north passageways that were a hundred miles wide. The deathly aura around the city was unimaginably dense.
It was said that only undead spirits that had surpassed the twenty-first step could enter the deathly aura around the city to cultivate.
If the other undead were to forcefully barge in, forget about cultivating, they would probably be crushed by the pressure of the deathly aura in a few breaths of time, and then completely melt away. Of course, for the undead of the 22nd or 23rd step, even if they could enter, they wouldn't be able to cultivate for a long time.
Along the eastern passageway of the city, eleven figures flew like lightning. Not long later, they landed in front of a stone tablet that was thousands of meters tall.
On the stone tablet, the two extremely large characters, "Dong Ming", were engraved.
After passing through the stone tablet, they would truly enter the boundaries of Dongming City. At this moment, there were a large number of undead entering and exiting the vicinity of the stone tablet.
As for Tang Huan and the other ten Stage Fifteen and Stage Sixteen clansmen, the surrounding dead spirits acted as if they did not see them. One after another, astonished gazes fell on the nine spirits, and there were also quite a few dead spirits that, after a short period of astonishment, had a look of realization on their faces, as if they had recognized the identity of the nine spirits.
Once they arrived at Dongming City, no undead were allowed to fly in the air, out of respect for the Eastern Emperor.
With such a huge body, it was naturally not convenient for the nine spirits to enter the city. As a result, in almost an instant, Nine Spirits Pang Shuo's body fluctuated and turned into a little girl wearing a nine-colored dress. Nine Spirits ignored the gazes of the surrounding people, waved her hand, and took the lead to float forward.
Dongming City, there were no city walls.
Less than a hundred meters away from the giant monument, there were all sorts of buildings that rose and fell. Between the buildings, there were streets, and on the streets, it was bustling with noise and excitement.
The way the undead extended their lives was very different from that of human cultivators.
Humans produced offspring through the union of a man and a woman, but the undead had no distinction between men and women. If their cultivation reached a certain level, they could breed a new heart ring from their own heart ring. That kind of heart ring was called a "child ring". With the "child ring" as the foundation, they could slowly give birth to a child undead.
This child was its descendant.
The number of heart rings a dead spirit has, the number of descendants it can reproduce. However, this is only in theory. Under normal circumstances, a dead spirit will only give birth to a "child ring" from the heart ring when it feels that it is difficult to break through. Because, at such a time, it is very likely to usher in an opportunity to break through.
At other times, if they nurtured a "child ring", it would not be of much benefit to the undead, and it would consume a lot of their own power.
But even so, the speed at which the undead reproduced was extremely shocking. Compared to the human cultivators of the "Netherworld", it was not inferior at all. Tang Huan walked on the streets, and from time to time, she would see groups of undead children floating around the crowd, their sharp and tender cheers incessantly.
Towards these undead children, the older undead were more lenient.
Other than the undead, from time to time, one could see one or two abnormalities that were extremely close to human cultivators on the streets. Tang Huan could tell with a glance that they were transformed from nether beasts, some of them were like the nine spirits, their changes were extremely thorough, and some of them were only semi-finished products.
Either it was a human head on its neck, and below it was a nether beast's body, or it was a human body below it, and above it was a nether beast's head.
This "Nether Death Realm" was not like the lower realms. Beasts needed to be able to completely transform in order to transcend heavenly tribulation.
But here, the restrictions on beasts were not that great. After the native nether beasts became Level 12 Undead Spirits, they had the ability to try and transform into Spirit Beasts. Of course, whether or not they could succeed was another matter. Moreover, even if they succeeded, not many would be able to surpass the Nine Spirits in terms of appearance.
From time to time, undead spirits would come up to strike up a conversation, but they were completely ignored by the nine spirits. This little fellow brought Tang Huan and the other ten undead spirits and headed towards the center of Dongming City. There were residences arranged for the princes there, and if they wanted to participate in the "Royal Spirit Ceremony", they would have to go there as well.
There was also a market in Dongming City.
