Chapter 507: Golden Core Ghost King (Extra Chapter)

After Song Song Changze went missing in that mountain stream in Mount Mount Yunwu half a month ago, Song Song Yuantong led the law enforcement team to search in the mountains for several days, but still found no trace of him. This matter soon alarmed Song Song Qingyu, who was still in seclusion on the top of the mountain.

After learning the news, Song Song Qingyu hurriedly came to the newly built Ancestral Hall of the family on the mountain to check the essence blood that Song Song Changze had left on the genealogy. Only after discovering that his name was still lit up did Song Song Qingyu breathe a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Song Song Qingyu and Song Song Yuanli led many family cultivators into Mount Mount Yunwu. After carefully searching again along the position where Song Song Qingze had jumped down, they finally discovered a very hidden cave entrance on a cliff in mid-air below the mountain stream, and found some traces of Song Song Changze fighting with monster beasts in the cave.

After Song Song Qingyu and the others walked into the cave for a distance, they suddenly felt a gust of cold wind inside, and a group of ghost cultivators without flesh and blood suddenly killed them from the depths of the cave.

Ghost cultivators are transformed from the essence souls and obsessions of some cultivators, monster beasts, or mortals before they die. They are unwilling to reincarnate and remain in the world, and can refine some yin energy in the world to continue cultivating. As long as they cultivate continuously, their cultivation base can also grow continuously like ordinary cultivators. High-tier ghost cultivators can even survive the heavenly tribulation and ascend to the upper realm.

It's just that these ghost cultivators can usually only cultivate in some nether places where yin energy is prosperous. Once they are in a place where yang energy gathers outside for a long time, and absorb the yang energy contained in the world, the ghost cultivators will immediately be backlashed. At best, they will be injured and their cultivation base will fall; at worst, they will die on the spot, and their souls will directly dissipate between heaven and earth, making it difficult to enter reincarnation again.

Because they are not like human cultivators who can walk anywhere in the world, although there are many ghost cultivators in the world, these ghosts can only hide in nether yin places to cultivate for their whole lives, and it is generally difficult for them to be encountered.

Because ghost cultivators only have primordial spirits and souls but no flesh, their lifespan is also far beyond that of cultivators of the same tier, and they can even live longer than ordinary monster cultivators. Even low-tier ghost cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage can sometimes exist for thousands of years.

However, because the quality of yin energy in the yang world is relatively low, the speed of ghost cultivator cultivation is generally relatively slow. The Jade Star Realm has existed for over a hundred thousand years, and there are very few ghost cultivators who can survive the thunder tribulation and ascend to the upper realm, far less than the human cultivators and monster cultivators who ascend normally.

Because they are transformed from the obsessions of cultivators, the intelligence and memory of ghost cultivators are generally somewhat incomplete, so their combat ability is also slightly worse than that of human cultivators of the same tier. Facing more than a dozen low-tier ghost cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage, Song Song Qingyu and the others cleared them away without much effort.

Fortunately, the injuries of the two were not too serious; they were just injured in the meridians by the yin energy released by the Ghost King, and they could slowly recover after recuperating for a year or two at most.

Just when the Song family crowd thought they were about to win this battle, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from the depths of the cave, and another Golden Core stage Ghost King who had already condensed a ghost core killed them from their side.

This time, the Song family gathered five Foundation Establishment cultivators to come, plus the second-tier array that Song Song Xinyu brought to restrain ghost cultivators. Under the leadership of Song Song Qingyu, the Song family crowd killed their way into that mountain cave again.

After failing to defeat the ghost cultivators for the first time, Song Song Qingyu hurriedly returned to Mount Mount Funiu and sent a message to Song Song Xinyu, who was far away in the Xiaoyao Sect, explaining the matter, asking him to bring some spiritual items to deal with ghost cultivators from the sect to return to the family for support, and quickly wipe out these ghost cultivators hiding in Mount Mount Yunwu to rescue Song Song Changze, who was in a very dangerous situation.

The cultivation base of this Golden Core Ghost King was only at the first layer of Golden Core, as if he had just broken through to the Golden Core realm not long ago. His strength should be about the same as a fake core cultivator who had just formed an outer core among human cultivators, but he was not something Song Song Qingyu and the others could defeat.

After hearing Song Song Qingyu mention the situation in the ghost cultivator mountain cave, Song Song Qingming was also slightly surprised. He really didn't expect that there would be a Golden Core ghost cultivator on the west side of Mount Mount Yunwu, so close to his own territory.

After clearing these low-tier ghost cultivators, five or six ghost cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage suddenly flew out from the depths of the cave. Seeing that the number of high-tier ghost cultivators was too large to defeat, Song Song Qingyu hurriedly retreated while fighting, taking Song Song Yuanli and the others directly out of the cave.

Fortunately, these ghost cultivators did not dare to leave the cave to contact the yang energy outside, so after chasing to the cave entrance, they retreated, which did not cause any loss to the many Song family cultivators who entered the cave.

Low-tier ghost cultivators like Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment have low requirements for the yin spirit places needed for cultivation, and they can be born anywhere in the cultivation world. Golden Core stage ghost cultivators are different. It is impossible for such high-tier ghost cultivators to be born in ordinary places. There must be some mystery in that mountain cave.

After hearing Song Song Qingyu and the others tell him about the situation in the mountain cave, Song Song Qingming thought for a moment, but still didn't rush to ask the sect for help, intending to go and meet these ghost cultivators himself first.

A few days later, after Song Song Xinyu brought a second-tier array specially designed to restrain ghost cultivators to Mount Mount Funiu, Song Song Qingyu summoned several family Foundation Establishment cultivators such as Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Yuanfang back to Mount Mount Funiu, and went to the ghost cultivator cave in Mount Mount Yunwu for the second time.

Fortunately, the second-tier array brought by Song Song Xinyu was very restraining to ghost cultivators. After a fight, the few people joined forces and relied on the power of the array to escape from the mountain cave without danger.

Low-tier ghost cultivators like Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment dare not come out to be active during the day, but at night when the yang energy outside is weak, these ghost cultivators can also come out. Discovering the ghost cultivator mountain cave, it was only a few hundred miles away from the nearest territory of the Song family. If these ghosts were not completely wiped out, they would always be a threat to the Song family.

At the beginning, everyone was relatively smooth, killing many low-tier ghost cultivators. After fighting with those Foundation Establishment ghost cultivators, relying on the power of the second-tier array, they soon successfully killed two Foundation Establishment ghost cultivators.

After the second battle with the ghost cultivators failed, Song Song Qingyu and the others were also somewhat discouraged. When they returned to Mount Mount Funiu and were about to inform the Xiaoyao Sect of this matter and request the sect to come for support, Song Song Qingming happened to return to Mount Mount Funiu at this time.

This time, Song Song Qingming did not bring low-tier family cultivators to go to Mount Mount Yunwu to crusade against the ghost cultivators, but only brought several Foundation Establishment cultivators such as Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan to go together.

Because this mountain cave was located on the cliff of the mountain stream that did not see the sun all day, and was covered by weeds around it, ordinary people would find it very difficult to discover this place if they didn't pay attention from a distance. It was no wonder that Song Song Yuantong had led the family law enforcement team to search for several days and didn't notice it.

Because of insufficient preparation and not knowing that there was a Golden Core stage ghost king hidden in the mountain cave, Song Song Qingyu and the others also suffered a small loss this time. Song Song Xinyu at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment and Song Song Qingyu at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment were both injured in the battle with the Golden Core ghost cultivator.

Under the guidance of the crowd, Song Song Qingming drove the "Phantom Boat" and soon arrived in front of that mountain cave.

"Song Qingyu and Song Xinyu, guard outside the cave. If any low-tier ghosts escape, take action directly to remove them. Don't let these ghosts run out and cause trouble again."

"Huang Siyuan, you, Song Yuanli, and Song Yuanfang control the array and follow behind me. When the Golden Core ghost cultivator comes out, I will deal with that guy, and you help me block the other ghost cultivators."

After observing the terrain around the mountain cave, Song Song Qingming gave instructions to the crowd, and only then did he lead Huang Huang Siyuan and the others directly into the mountain cave.

After walking in for dozens of zhang, Song Song Qingming soon felt gusts of cold yin wind coming from the cave. The crowd, who didn't like this feeling, immediately supported a magic power protective shield for themselves, isolating the yin wind outside their bodies.

After walking for another distance, a sharp and ear-piercing sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling suddenly came from the front, and a group of low-tier ghost cultivators in the depths of the mountain cave rushed toward the crowd.

"Hmph! You ghosts who cannot see the light, how dare you be presumptuous here!" Seeing these many ghosts killing them with gusts of yin wind, Song Song Qingming snorted coldly, released a Golden Core true fire that restrained yin and evil things from his hand, and soon burned a piece of ghost cultivators into white mist, making their souls completely dissipate between heaven and earth.

Seeing that the person who came was so powerful, these ghost cultivators also immediately let out a burst of terrified sounds and retreated to the depths of the mountain cave one after another.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming was not in a hurry to chase these low-tier ghost cultivators, and still walked carefully toward the depths of the mountain cave step by step with Huang Huang Siyuan and the others.

Just at the cave entrance, he also carefully checked the surroundings of the mountain stream and did not find any other cave exits. As long as he blocked this cave entrance, he was not afraid that the ghost cultivators inside could easily escape.

Before Song Song Qingming had walked far, a relatively powerful pressure soon came from far to near and appeared in front of Song Song Qingming. It was precisely the Golden Core ghost cultivator that Song Song Qingyu and the others had seen before.

The Golden Core stage ghost cultivator had already condensed a ghost core and would turn the yin energy he cultivated into his own body at any time. He looked no different from human cultivators, but his face was stiff and surrounded by yin energy, making this ghost cultivator look like a dead person at a glance.

Seeing that after retreating Song Song Qingyu and the others a few days ago, other cultivators came to disturb his cultivation, this Golden Core Ghost King was also annoyed and sprayed a ball of yin fire at Song Song Qingming without saying a word.

"Well come!"

Seeing this Golden Core Ghost King who almost seriously injured Song Song Qingyu and the others, Song Song Qingming was also somewhat angry. He cast a spell with both hands, and the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" had already automatically flown out of his body, directly turning into a huge golden mirror to easily block the yin fire released by the ghost cultivator.

After blocking this blow, before the Golden Core Ghost King in front of him could react, under Song Song Qingming's control, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" immediately split into five and surrounded him, shining five spiritual lights of different colors.

The spiritual light stored in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" was all Profound Yang spiritual energy that Song Song Qingming cultivated on weekdays, which had a trace of restraining effect on demon cultivators and ghosts. After the Golden Core Ghost King's body was illuminated by the spiritual light, it immediately made him let out a scream, and he hurriedly emitted bursts of black energy to block these spiritual lights.

After being burned by the Profound Yang spiritual energy in the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," there were already several losses on the Ghost King's body. He hurriedly retreated for more than ten zhang and desperately swallowed a mouthful of yin energy in the cave before slowly recovering.

In just a few rounds, this Golden Core Ghost King felt Song Song Qingming's power. Seeing that the other party was somewhat tricky, the Golden Core Ghost King rolled up a gust of yin wind to block the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" flying toward him, and then let out a scream, wanting to call the other low-tier ghost cultivators in the cave to come and support him.

Soon, bursts of yin wind came from the depths of the mountain cave. Seeing this Golden Core ghost cultivator calling for reinforcements, Huang Huang Siyuan and the three of them immediately held the array flags and formed a large array, stepping forward to block those low-tier ghost cultivators.

In this cave, besides this Golden Core Ghost King, the remaining Foundation Establishment ghost cultivators had already been killed by more than half when Song Song Qingyu and the others came in for the second time. Facing the large array formed by Huang Huang Siyuan and the three, they no longer had much threat.

Seeing that Huang Huang Siyuan and the others were under no pressure and had already blocked those low-tier ghost cultivators, Song Song Qingming immediately focused on strengthening his attack on the Golden Core Ghost King in front of him.

The strength of the Golden Core Ghost King was not as good as that of the human Golden Core cultivators of the same tier, plus the natal magic treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" that Song Song Qingming cultivated also carried some Profound Yang energy that restrained ghost cultivators. Facing Song Song Qingming's pressing step by step, this Golden Core ghost cultivator was soon beaten back steadily.

Although he could rely on the yin spirit place to replenish the yin energy on his body in time during the battle, the strength of the Ghost King was indeed too different from Song Song Qingming. Being blocked in the cave, he would certainly be difficult to parry for a long time.

Seeing that he was not the opponent, the Golden Core Ghost King gritted his teeth and decided to give up this mountain cave that he had cultivated for many years and flee directly from here. Taking advantage of the fact that Song Song Qingming had not yet reacted, he directly turned his body into a ghost mist and quickly passed by Song Song Qingming's side, rushing directly toward the outside of the cave.

Song Song Qingming also didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive and run away directly, failing to block this Golden Core Ghost King in time. After reacting, he hurriedly set up his escape light and chased after him.

Song Song Qingyu and Song Song Xinyu, who were guarding the cave entrance, suddenly felt a violent yin wind coming from the cave. Thinking that it was low-tier ghost cultivators who wanted to escape from here, they hurriedly stepped forward to block the other party.

What they didn't expect was that it was the Golden Core Ghost King who came. After joining forces, they only slightly blocked the Ghost King for a moment before being easily repelled by him, which also made their original injuries worsen a bit.

Fortunately, this Golden Core Ghost King was anxious to escape for his life and didn't care about Song Song Qingyu and the two, which didn't cause them any life-threatening danger.

Song Song Qingming, who chased out of the mountain cave, saw Song Song Qingyu and the two with a trace of blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths again. He also knew what had happened just now, his face sank, and he directly took out the "Phantom Boat" and chased after the Golden Core Ghost King who had already run a distance.

Because it was daytime, the yang energy between heaven and earth was very prosperous. Although this Golden Core Ghost King relied on his own protective yin energy to block the burning of the scorching sun, it also affected some of his escape speed.

Instead, Song Song Qingming had the help of the "Phantom Boat," and his escape speed was much faster than that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators. The two chased one after another and soon narrowed the distance. Before running out for dozens of miles, Song Song Qingming blocked the Ghost King again.

This Ghost King couldn't beat Song Song Qingming even when relying on the yin spirit place with prosperous yin energy in the cave, and now he had to resist the burning of the yang energy of heaven and earth outside, so he was even less of Song Song Qingming's opponent, and was soon suppressed by Song Song Qingming to the point of having no power to parry.
