Chapter 611: Abyss, Ghost Spirits

"Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood, what exactly is it?"

"Is it very precious?"

"Or, is it very rare?"

On the Eight Treasures Ship, Qiao Qiao Huizhu asked He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng smiled, and while piloting the Eight Treasures Ship, said: "It is precious, but it shouldn't be that rare!"

"Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood, although it is called wood, it is actually not a type of wood!"

Qiao Qiao Huizhu's brows immediately lifted: "Then what is it?"

He He Pingsheng said: "It is a type of bone!"

"After those Mahayana Emperor-level cultivators fall, their divine bones, under the nourishment of Yin evil energy, will form this thing called 【Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood】 after millions of years!"

"Essentially, it is a type of bone, or one could say it is a type of Yin-Sinking Emperor Bone!"

"This bone not only possesses powerful Great Emperor aura, but also Yin-Nether energy and Dao law rules!"

"The Nether Great Emperor cultivated Nether rules during his lifetime, so the probability of his bones turning into Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood after he fell was even higher!"

"The entire continent is not lacking in Mahayana Emperor-level cultivators!"

"For example, in this Zhu Que Emperor Domain, the Demon Emperor is not the only Zhu Que Demon Emperor. I heard that the Sky Fox clan where Bai Bai Yutang belongs has an Emperor-level powerhouse!"

"Besides this Sky Fox Demon Emperor, there should be other Emperors!"

"It's just that we don't know about them!"

"So, there are many Mahayana Emperors in this Spirit Realm, but very few can pass the tribulation and ascend. These Great Emperors, ninety-nine percent of them, will still vanish in the passage of time!"

"If Emperors fall, then there will be no shortage of Emperor bones in this Spirit Realm, and thus Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood will be produced continuously!"

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao Huizhu understood.

So this Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood is actually the bones of a Great Emperor.

"But... what is the use of this thing?" Qiao Qiao Huizhu asked.

He He Pingsheng said: "It is used to make a special type of puppet called a Substitute-Death Puppet!"

"After the production is complete, it is nourished by one's own blood and soul thoughts. Over time, it will become a special existence. Later, if you receive a fatal blow, this thing can block the power of that fatal blow for you, so it is also called a Substitute-Death Puppet!"

"Unfortunately, the Substitute-Death Puppet is a one-time use item!"

"It cannot be used a second time!"

The two chatted while flying.

After another few days, they finally arrived at the edge of the 【Emperor-Fallen Abyss】.

This abyss was huge!

It was endless in length, and its width was a full ten thousand zhang.

Even compared to the 【Nine-Nether Sky Abyss】 in the Divine Crane Royal Clan, it was not inferior.

But here, there were no hurricanes.

And the Yin energy here was restrained and did not disperse, nor did it spray outward.

He He Pingsheng put away the Eight Treasures Ship, and the two landed above the abyss.

He looked at the abyss, and his spiritual sense flew out.

But it was useless.

Under heaven, all Yin evil energy has a common characteristic, which is that it blocks spiritual sense.

"Let's go down!" He He Pingsheng said: "Search slowly, perhaps we can find it!"

"Hmm..."

He pondered for a moment: "Ten days!"

"If we can find it within ten days, that is best. If we can't find it within ten days, we don't need to look anymore!"

There is no need to waste time.

After all, Nan Li also said that the last time this Nether Emperor Palace opened, and the time before that, Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood did not appear in this Emperor-Fallen Abyss.

This shows that either the Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood was all taken by predecessors, or the remaining quantity is extremely scarce and basically cannot be found.

"Hmm hmm hmm..." Qiao Qiao Huizhu nodded.

The two turned into streams of light and drilled directly into the abyss.

Yin evil energy rushed toward them.

In this Yin evil energy, there was also a hint of fishy stench, which was disgusting.

"Open..."

He He Pingsheng waved his hand, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand was unfurled.

After the hundred-zhang Soul Banner was unfurled, the surrounding Yin evil energy was sucked toward it, and a space without evil energy formed around He He Pingsheng and Qiao Qiao Huizhu.

But this was not enough.

After all, there was a lot of evil energy here.

Although the Soul Banner's absorption speed was fast, it could not suck away all the Yin evil energy here.

He He Pingsheng waved his hand again, using the magic power in his body as support, and sacrificed a circular barrier.

The barrier was not big, just enough to wrap around the two of them.

Everything was very calm.

He He Pingsheng carried the Ghost Banner and the barrier, slowly falling into the depths of the abyss.

"Roar..."

"Jiejiejiejiejie..."

"Hahahaha..."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Diving into the abyss, various eerie sounds that made one's scalp tingle came over.

Qiao Qiao Huizhu was trembling with fear, holding onto He He Pingsheng tightly.

The difference between here and the Nine-Nether Sky Abyss was that there were more ghost creatures.

The Nine-Nether Sky Abyss also had ghost creatures, but there weren't many, and He He Pingsheng stayed at the bottom of that Sky Abyss for several months without encountering any significant ghost creatures.

But here it was different.

Just after entering the abyss, he heard all kinds of ghost wails.

The laughter of women, the crying of children, the coughing of old men...

Each one made one's hair stand on end.

Fighting sounds also came from afar.

It seems that some people have already started fighting.

"Don't be afraid!"

He He Pingsheng reached out and rubbed Qiao Qiao Huizhu's head twice: "Under normal circumstances, ghost creatures of the same rank have the weakest combat power!"

"Even if you are facing a ghost creature at the twelfth layer of the Soul Transformation Stage right now, you should be able to beat it!"

This principle is very simple.

How were the ghost creatures here produced?

They were produced by Yin evil energy mixed with the Dao laws or blood energy of the Nether Great Emperor.

As ghost creatures absorb Yin evil energy, their cultivation also grows continuously.

But there is one point: although their cultivation has grown, they do not have the systematic cultivation methods of the human or demon races, no cultivation techniques, and no divine abilities.

Furthermore, they have no magic treasures, talismans, and so on.

They also have no spiritual sense.

Because of this, they have cultivation but their combat power is naturally very weak.

Ordinary humans can instantly kill ghost creatures of the same rank.

"Then..." Qiao Qiao Huizhu said: "Won't there be Void Refinement-stage Ghost Kings?"

He He Pingsheng smiled: "There shouldn't be!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.

Turning his head to look, he saw a huge ghost creature had appeared ten zhang behind him at some point.

The ghost creature was a hundred zhang tall, holding a pitch-black club in both hands, and smashed it fiercely toward He He Pingsheng and Qiao Qiao Huizhu.

"Beast, you dare to ambush me?"

He He Pingsheng didn't even look at the ghost creature's cultivation, and in his haste, he took out the black Heaven-Defying Divine Spear and blasted out a plain and unremarkable shot.

Rumbling...

The club condensed from Yin evil energy shattered directly.

He He Pingsheng's spear light shot out and blasted into the ghost creature's body.

The ghost creature also dissipated directly.

However, a black phantom flashed and vanished after the ghost creature dissipated, disappearing into the endless abyss.

"It seems it didn't die..." Qiao Qiao Huizhu's body trembled slightly.

He He Pingsheng said: "Ghost creatures are almost immortal existences in Yin evil energy!"

"After their bodies are shattered, the ghost spirits inside them escape and can absorb Yin evil energy again to condense their bodies!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Next time it dares to harass me, I will definitely make sure it never returns!" ===== CHAPTER 612 =====
