Chapter 614: Chapter 423: Heavenly Master Xu’s Third Incursion into Wangwu Ghost Market! _2
“There will be plenty of opportunities to gather in the future.”
Xu Yang said, “This place is dangerous, Niu Mang… take Ma Long back to Wu City.”
Ma Long was unwilling, claiming that he was now a little expert, with a soul strength comparable to a powerful Ghost King, which gave him a self-preservation ability.
“Wangwu Ghost Market is now occupied by the Netherworld Demons… These Netherworld Demons are experts who were planted in the human world by the Netherworld 800 years ago. Even the weakest among them is comparable to the Earth Immortal and the Daoist True Monarch. No one knows how many experts there are at the Immortal Being level.”
Xu Yang glanced at Ma Long and said, “With your strength, forget about defending yourself under their control, I’m afraid they could easily blow away your soul by blowing air.”
“…”
...
Ma Long froze for a moment, then sullenly cursed, “Damn, this is too discouraging. My master said that I have an Extremely Yin Body, which is a natural talent… But now it seems I’m just trash?”
Xu Yang laughed, “Don’t be discouraged… Actually, Elder Wang was right. You have an Extremely Yin Body and indeed possess a natural talent. In just a few months since you started cultivating, your soul strength is already comparable to some powerful Ghost Kings, equivalent to Daoist divine power and martial arts Heavenly Beings… Alright, I need to block the entrance, so you guys should leave quickly.”
Niu Mang obeyed, and quickly left with Ma Long on his back.
Xu Yang, on the other hand, performed the Daoist skills again and re-entered the Wangwu Ghost Market.
This time, he didn’t hide, but swaggered to the entrance of the Ghost Market.
This action immediately alarmed some ghost soldiers of the Wangwu Ghost Market, who ran frantically and shouted as they ran, “Oh no…Lord Demon, another human expert has broken in!”
Xu Yang ignored these underworld soldiers but took out the altar of ritual and threw it on the ground, then sat cross-legged directly at the entrance of the Wangwu Ghost Market.
He activated divine powers, and a “divine power talisman” flew out from the Zifu and Shihai inside him. As the talisman turned, it suddenly arranged layers of formations around him!
72 Earth-Devil Skills -[Formation]!
“With my current strength, the formation set up by drawing on the divine power is difficult for anyone except the Immortal Beings to break through. I have set up nine layers of the formation… Even if a Netherworld Demon expert takes action, breaking the formation will not be an easy matter.”
After finishing the formation, Xu Yang moved his thoughts, opening the system’s attribute panel.
Behind the “Merit” column of the system’s attribute panel, the original less than 10 million merits surged to the 15 million milestones.
“15 million merits are enough for me to advance further in perceiving the Dao, and maybe I can condense some more Immortal Daoist rules…”
Xu Yang secretly thought and looked inside himself.
He saw a “rule of Immortal Daoist” flashing with a thunderbolt-like radiance standing like a chain inside his body.
Just the addition of this single “rule of Immortal Daoist” greatly increased his combat power… if there were dozens or hundreds more, what would happen?
Daoist True Monarchs and Earth Immortals are considered the “pinnacle of the human realm”.
Once a martial artist or Daoist cultivator successfully condenses “rules of Immortal Daoist” within their bodies, they can be called “half-immortal”…
In ancient times, the powerhouse of this level was called an “Earth Immortal”.
When the condensed “rules of Immortal Daoist” inside one’s body reach a certain number, one can ascend, transforming from an “Earth Immortal” to a “heavenly immortal”.
“When the number of condensed rules of Immortal Daoist in my body reaches 99, I should be able to ascend to immortality.”
“To condense the rules of Immortal Daoist is an extremely difficult process, requiring constant comprehension… No wonder ancient experts would find a secluded place to cultivate in closed-door seclusion.”
Xu Yang also thought of Grandmaster Chengming.
That old Daoist had definitely condensed more than 99 rules of Immortal Daoist, otherwise, the Heavenly Court would not have paid attention to him. Back when he held the promotion ceremony to the rank of Heavenly Master at Xishan Wanshou Palace, Xu Yang distinctly remembered Venus Taibai asking Grandmaster Chengming when he would ascend.
Just as Xu Yang was about to cultivate, he heard footsteps approaching.
A group of ghost soldiers charged out of the ghost market in an orderly manner.
Xu Yang closed the system panel, took out the Jiao-slaying Sword and placed it on his leg. He looked up at the ghost soldiers and saw them wearing armor and holding swords, quickly dispersing and surrounding him.
A beautiful woman walked out of the Ghost Market.
She wore a blue dress and had a charming demeanor, standing 100 meters away. A glint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xu Yang and said, “From you, I smell the scent of the blood of my Netherworld Demons… Have you killed my Netherworld tribe members?”
Xu Yang glanced at the woman, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, and smiled, “On my way back from overseas, I encountered a Netherworld Demon who didn’t know his place and killed him casually… and in Ganshire Province, I found another Netherworld Demon, but unfortunately, it was quite stubborn and didn’t yield any answers before it self-destructed.”
Boom!
The female released an earth-shattering demonic aura from her body, causing the entire Wangwu Ghost Market to tremble briefly.
At the same time, in the depths of the Wangwu Ghost Market, 72 powerful demonic auras soared into the sky. Xu Yang activated the Heavenly Eye Skill and noticed 18 auras at the level of Immortal Beings!
Adding to the woman in front of him…
That made 19!
“Nineteen Asura Realm Netherworld Demons… What a large lineup!”
