Chapter 330: Three Souls and Seven Spirits in One Body

Three Spirits Suppressing Dao Mountain, like the Eight Sect Alliance, is located in the southern part of the Eastern Wanggu, on the other side of the Taisi Duer Mountain.

That majestic Duer Mountain range has a huge range, with miasma permeating within, and while there are many evil ways, it also contains infinite uncanny.

To a certain extent, it is no different from a forbidden zone.

And this mountain range also divided the southern part of the Eastern Wanggu into two parts.

Relatively speaking, one side is still a happy land, at least occasionally laughter can be heard, while the other side is hell, where crying is a luxury, and numbness is the only main theme.

This, is the Three Spirits Suppressing Dao Mountain.

It is also the human fierce land with the largest number of people in the Eastern Wanggu besides the forbidden grounds.

Within its range, which is comparable to half of the Nanhuang Continent, there are 137 countries, including humans and different races.

Whether day or night, there is not much sound coming from these 137 countries. It is not that there are no people, but living is a kind of torment, and all living things are kept in captivity, just rations.

And rations have no qualification to speak.

So, the people living in these 137 countries have lost the ability to speak, and the only sound they can make is a shrill scream.

Thus, the earth here is silent, and the firmament here is also the same, a piece of dimness, and the sun and

Only on the small hills piled with skeletons, lit by the oil of the flesh and blood of ten thousand clans, did the ghostly fire serve as the light source for this piece of human-killing land.

The skeletons on those small hills had no flesh left, only bone; some seemed to have been placed there for a long time, while others had been thrown there not long ago.

Looking around, such hills of skeletons were everywhere.

Every five hundred miles, there was one, densely packed, as if turning this place into a forest of ridges.

One could imagine that over countless years, the number of mortals from ten thousand clans who died here was countless.

It was precisely because of this degree of death that this place was filled with deathly aura, suppressed to the extreme.

The color of the ground, after being soaked by blood time and time again, had become dark purple; grains of sand had long since been stuck together, forming sheets like felt, a shocking sight.

There was also a foul, fishy stench permeating the world; an ordinary person would surely find it unbearable to vomit after smelling it, until even the bile was vomited out.

There were also trees here, but those trees were all red, absorbing the blood in the soil as nutrients. Each one was incomparably eerie, and occasionally, naked, dried corpses hung on them.

In the wind, these dried corpses swayed, as if they were dried meat being weathered.

If one looked closely, one could see that these dried corpses had been brushed with things that volatilized their scent.

This would attract some fierce birds from the sky as well as the eerie entities permeating the surroundings, and they would become the side ingredients cooked together with the dried corpses.

Besides trees, there were also blood lakes here.

In this human-killing land, bubbles rose silently in the lakes. Occasionally, passing disciples of the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain would stop to take a sip, most of them revealing satisfaction in their expressions.

Xu Qing's magic ship flew silently across the firmament, and everything below left him silent.

The Captain was also silent; even Yan Yan, who had a very heavy malevolent aura, was somewhat distracted after seeing all this.

Xu Qing and the Captain had once seen a force in the Taisi Du'e Mountain that called itself the Little Three Spirits, but compared to this place, they couldn't even be called "little."

There was no comparison.

"It looks like one hundred and thirty-seven countries, but now there are fewer than a hundred. This is also why the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain has been frequently going out recently to plunder small countries to bring here."

"The number one hundred and thirty-seven seems to have special significance for the Three Spirits, so whenever they don't have enough to eat, they need to replenish."

The Captain looked at the earth and spoke softly.

"But with cultivation at the level of the Three Spirits, why do they need to devour the flesh and blood of ten thousand clans? This shouldn't have any meaning for them." Yan Yan, on the side, was very puzzled.

"The Three Spirits are the transformation of the three souls of the Nanyue Ghost Emperor."

Xu Qing told the Captain and Yan Yan what his master had said back then, and at the same time, he felt that the Ghost Emperor Mountain he had moved into his sea of consciousness was now a bit different from before.

It seemed that this moved Ghost Emperor Mountain had become more lifelike within this range.

This made Xu Qing feel very strange in his heart, and at the same time, he had more guesses.

The Captain listened, thoughtful, and nodded.

"Then that's not strange. One body with three souls and seven spirits; this contains some kind of rule we don't know about."

After Xu Qing felt the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness, he looked at a blood lake below, watching the disciples of the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain drawing water by the lake, and spoke in a low voice.

"According to Master's meaning, after that Ghost Emperor fell here, it made Yinghuang Prefecture different from then on. So, can it also be understood that every person born on this land contains a trace of the Ghost Emperor's bloodline in their body?"

"If the answer is yes, then it also explains why the Three Spirits have to eat frequently... In fact, this is their way of strengthening themselves."

"Exactly!" The Captain's eyes lit up.

"Nine times out of ten, that's it. However, these are too far away from us, and we don't need to explore the truth."

While speaking, the magic ship the three were on flew silently over the blood lake. Such a large magic ship swept over their heads, but the disciples drawing water had no awareness at all.

This was because after entering the range of the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain, the Captain took out his item for concealing himself, causing Xu Qing's magic ship to be shrouded by it.

Xu Qing looked down at the disciples drawing water behind him on the ground, thought for a moment, and gave up the idea of capturing them for research.

This time, they first had to hide themselves, so if they could avoid extra trouble, it was better not to alert the enemy.

Just like that, time passed slowly, and soon half a month went by.

During this half month, the three of them got closer and closer to the center of the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain. On the way, they saw more human misery and also saw small countries that had been eaten empty.

Those small countries were empty, becoming dead cities, gray and black inside, with only eerie entities wandering within.

While incomparably miserable, Xu Qing also noticed that the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness was not only more realistic but also faintly emitted some light, which made him even more cautious.

Until three days later, after Xu Qing and the Captain discussed it, they decided not to rely on the magic ship.

The magic ship was too big; if they continued like this, even if the Captain's concealment item's ability was decent, it was still a bit insecure.

As for Yan Yan, she was very well-behaved along the way, and everything she saw on the ground made her mostly silent.

Although her malevolent aura was heavy, she was not a purely evil person. Many times, Xu Qing saw compassion and anger in her eyes.

So, at the edge of the central area near the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain, Xu Qing put away the magic ship. The moment the three landed, the Captain quickly took out dozens of magic tools from his pocket.

"In order to get back my treasure robe, I prepared for a long time. These are all items I collected to conceal aura. If one isn't enough, then five; if five aren't enough, then ten!" The Captain said, quickly distributing them to Xu Qing and Yan Yan.

After the three of them each activated them, under the shroud of more than a dozen concealment magic tools each, they hid their aura and figures to a greater extent, and then headed all the way toward the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain, moving forward rapidly.

There was no pause along the way, and another half month passed. In the dim world in the distance, three incomparably towering black mountains that disappeared into the clouds came into the eyes of Xu Qing and the three.

Those three mountain peaks were boundlessly majestic and imposing, as if they could shake the firmament. A single glance would make one's heart feel a shock; on one hand, it was the mountain's imposing manner shaking the heart, and on the other hand, it was that there were great cultivators on these three big black mountains.

In this way, it was as if the mountains had spirits, which could make people raise a sense of worship.

Xu Qing and the three, the moment they saw these three mountains, all stopped their footsteps, their expressions changing.

Those three big black mountains were the Three Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain!

One could see that above the clouds on the mountain tops, huge phantoms manifested, forming heaven-and-earth visions, as if three huge funnels were sucking the black mist of the firmament over.

Between this suction, one could faintly see that within the mist, there existed three incomparably huge thrones.

On the third mountain, the throne was made of crystal, luxurious to the extreme. While dazzling and exquisite, one could see a stunningly beautiful woman sitting on it.

This woman had a tall body, but the proportions were perfect, full of enchantment. The amorous feelings emitted from her flowing eyes could make males restless.

If one looked for a long time, one would inevitably become obsessed and unable to extricate oneself.

This woman was exactly the Youjing Jueyang Lingzun, the human soul of the Ghost Emperor Mountain, whom Xu Qing and the Captain had seen that day.

At this moment, she sat there, holding a mirror in her hand, admiring her own beauty. Occasionally waving her hand, mortals from ten thousand clans were pulled over from all directions, surrounding her.

Amidst the wailing, these mortals from ten thousand clans were like delicious snacks, grabbed by her two fingers, put into her mouth, and chewed slowly. As she devoured them, it seemed her skin became even better.

The second mountain beside it was even more terrifying. The throne there was made of the bones of a giant beast, like a huge skull, with countless dead souls permeating the surroundings, circling and roaring low. At the same time, a tall cultivator sat on this throne as well.

Although this cultivator's body was huge, it was as thin as a stick, like a massive skeleton. He had no hair, and while his whole body was bony, his back was like a small hill, bulging high.

Looking closely, one could see that the bulging small hill was actually a huge tumor, with blue and red blood vessels permeating it, a shocking sight, as if this tumor had sucked away all the flesh and blood of his body.

Within it, amidst rhythmic wriggling, came a booming sound like war drums, echoing through the world and shaking the heart and spirit.

And it seemed that this tumor also put great pressure on him, making this skeleton-like cultivator pant for breath. Often, every few moments, he would open his big mouth, and a vortex would appear in the void, with hundreds of living beings flying over, swallowed by him in one gulp, chewing hard in his mouth.

Because he ate too much at once, his mouth was full of blood, but his whole body was filled with malevolent aura; the more this was the case, the harder he chewed.

This skeleton cultivator on the second mountain was exactly the second of the Three Spirits, the Jueyang Jueyang Lingzun, who was the Earth Soul!

Just the visions of these two mountains made Xu Qing and the three's hearts tremble intensely, not to mention... the First Mountain on the side!

The First Mountain was a mass of black mist; one could only vaguely see the throne, but couldn't see the figure inside. However, there was a heaven-shaking great terror erupting from within. The First Mountain and the Second Mountain simply couldn't be compared to it!

It seemed that this mountain was the true peerless evil!

Because the spirit within this mountain was the strongest soul of the Ghost Emperor Mountain—the Heaven Soul!

Tai Guang Jueyang Lingzun!
