Chapter 471: Turbulence in the Ghost Realm
Chen Jiu originally came to Xuanming Island to pick a ghost cultivator at the peak of the Ghost King level to come down to the mortal world to enlighten him. He ran to Xuanming Island and spread his spiritual sense to scan, but found that the atmosphere here was obviously wrong.
The demon gods in the twelve Acropolis had actually all taken their positions, fully armed, and set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, ready to attack. The bat soldiers had also all returned to their respective Acropolis and hid.
Yu Qi also went to Tianjia City, the core of the northern defense, to take charge.
What's going on?
He flashed beside Qi and said solemnly, "Seven, what's wrong? Who called?"
Yu Qi actually shook his head slowly and said: "It wasn't someone who attacked us, it was the old ancestor in the ghost realm who escaped."
The ancestor in the ghost realm actually ran out!
Is the Hongmeng Sect going to take action?
He didn't receive any message!
No, he has been busy in the life and death space on the other side of the Fusang Sacred Tree for more than 20 days and has never been out. Even if Qingmufang City received the news, they would not be able to find him.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then asked: "Do you know how many ancestors ran out of the ghost domain ?"
Yu Qi still shook his head slowly and said, "I don't know about this, because many of the bat soldiers and ghost cultivators we sent out have not returned. Those who escaped back only felt that they were swept by the powerful consciousness of the ancestors from a distance, so they turned around and ran back. I guess those who didn't react in time were captured by the ancestors and couldn't come back at all."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How do you know that he was captured and not killed by those ancestors?"
Yu Qi explained: "Ancestor Bei Ming and Ancestor Xuan Yin have sent people to look for Ancestor Xuan Ming. They both said that many of their ghost cultivators were captured by other ancestors. I think our bat soldiers and ghost cultivators should have been captured by those ancestors as well."
Why do these ancestors capture ghost cultivators?
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully and understood that these ancestors in the ghost realm were conscripting able-bodied men!
These ancestors in the ghost realm may feel that they do not have enough manpower, so they ran to the outskirts of the ghost realm to capture able-bodied men.
As for whether these strong men will be obedient, this is very simple. Many ghost cultivators can cast soul spells. These ancestors just need to cast soul spells on the captured ghost cultivators, and the captured ghost cultivators must be obedient, otherwise they can destroy their body and soul with just a thought!
Don’t these guys know that they will be punished by God for wantonly casting soul spells?
Chen Jiu frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "Seventh Brother, do you know how many ghost cultivators there are outside the ghost domain?"
Yu Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "I really don't know about this, because our bat soldiers and ghost cultivators don't dare to run too far, they can only fly more than ten thousand miles away to investigate.
There are hundreds of islands within a radius of more than 10,000 miles on both sides of us. Some islands have ghost cultivators, while others do not. They dare not approach to count the number of ghost cultivators on the islands with ghost cultivators, so we have no idea how many ghost cultivators there are outside the ghost domain."
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "Then they should know how many of these hundreds of islands have ghost cultivators."
Yu Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "They have roughly counted them. Among the hundreds of islands, there are probably more than twenty islands with ghost cultivators."
By this calculation, the number of ghost cultivators outside the ghost domain is quite terrifying, because according to rumors, the area of the ghost domain is larger than the area of Qingmu Shenzhou and the four surrounding Shenzhous that they know now combined.
In other words, the outer perimeter of the ghost domain is likely to be a large circle of hundreds of thousands of miles.
After exploring for more than ten thousand miles, they discovered that there were ghost cultivators on more than twenty islands, which means that there were about ten islands with ghost cultivators every ten thousand miles.
As for how many ghost cultivators there are on these islands, the number should be considerable, because there are already tens of thousands of ghost cultivators on the Xuanming Island where they are, and there are even more ghost cultivators on the big islands where the Beiming Ancestor and the Xuanyin Ancestor are located, amounting to tens of thousands.
Even if he reduced it a hundred times, and even if there were only a few hundred ghost cultivators on each large island, there would be at least a hundred or two hundred thousand ghost cultivators in the outskirts of the ghost domain covering hundreds of thousands of miles.
There must be some ghost cultivators with high cultivation levels. There are probably quite a few True Lords and even some Heavenly Lords.
This is because these ghost cultivators are all gods from the divine world who did not want to fall into reincarnation after their death, so they crossed the Yin and Yang realm on the sea and ran to the outskirts of the ghost realm. The violent Yin and Yang energy of the Yin and Yang realm is so strong that unless someone brings them here, their souls must at least reach the realm of true gods , otherwise they cannot get through at all.
It’s just like the ancestor Xuanming, who was at the level of Heavenly Venerate before his death. Even though he is dead, his spirit and soul are still at the level of Heavenly Venerate.
In other words, most of the ghost cultivators outside the ghost realm are estimated to have reached the realm of ghosts and gods. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, no one knows how many gods from the gods' realm have escaped to the ghost realm after their death. Even if only one escapes every year, that would be hundreds of thousands!
Chen Jiu thought about it, then took out four million bottles of soul-strengthening elixirs and carefully instructed: "Seventh Brother, quickly train the ghost cultivators from the mortal world to the level of Ghost King. Each of you should give them ten bottles of soul-strengthening elixirs so that they can reach the peak of Ghost King as soon as possible. I will come over to enlighten them when I am free."
My god, so many elixirs!
Yu Qi was stunned when he saw the huge boxes filling the sky.
He was stunned for a moment, then he took the elixir and asked, "Ah Jiu, what's the point of you spending so many elixirs to cultivate ghost immortals? Didn't you say that ghost immortals can't participate in the war in the divine world at all?"
Chen Jiu explained in detail: "Now we can refine a large number of Bat God puppets. The Ghost Immortals controlling the Bat God puppets can exert the strength of the first level of True God. We can leave fewer Bat God puppets in the mortal world and bring most of the Bat God puppets to the God Realm for the Ghost Immortals here to control. In this way, we will have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of True God first level troops."
So that's how it is.
Yu Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. I will definitely train those ghost cultivators who came from the mortal world to the peak of ghost king as soon as possible."
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "How long do you think it will take for those ghost domain ancestors to reach Xuanming Island?"
Yu Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "It's hard to say, because to our north is the territory of Bei Ming Patriarch and Xuan Yin Patriarch. Their territory is the real border with the Ghost Realm, and our territory is behind them. Those Ghost Realm Patriarchs can't rush to Xuan Ming Island unless they take them down."
This is a good thing. The two ancestors are not so easy to take down, not to mention that they have tens of thousands of ghost cultivators under their command. If those ancestors in the ghost realm are really attacking the territories of Ancestor Beiming and Ancestor Xuanyin with all their might, it is estimated that these two guys will hurriedly send people to ask Ancestor Xuanming for help.
He just said that many of his subordinates were captured, and he hasn't asked the Xuanming Patriarch for help. This proves that the ancestor of the ghost realm has not yet launched a full-scale attack on his territory.
In other words, they should have one or two months to prepare.
Chen Jiu estimated silently for a while, and then said decisively: "Now you come with me to select tens of thousands of ghost cultivators at the peak of the Ghost King level. I will go and bring back the Xuanming Patriarch and let him take charge here."
Yu Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, you should take me into the Kingdom of God and take me with you."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then took Yu Qi into the kingdom of God, and quickly flashed to a city filled with yin energy.
After he had gathered tens of thousands of ghost cultivators, he flew across the Yin and Yang boundary on the sea, flashed to Qingmufang City, and came to the side of Huli Tianzun.
When Tiger Power Tianzun saw him coming, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master Jiu, you finally showed up. We have been worried about you these past few days. I have been to Monster God City several times, but Master Chen said that you have something to do in the mortal world, and I don't know when you will return to the God Realm."
That's true. He had left enough elixirs for Prime Minister Mu Chen Lang to last for three months, and the monster meat had been prepared for half a year. He originally planned to work in that life and death space for a few months, turning all the ghosts into blood soul pills, but who knew that something unexpected would suddenly happen in the ghost realm.
Chen Jiu sighed slightly and said, "I can't help it. I do have something to do. What's wrong? Is there any news from the Hongmeng Sect?"
Tiger Power Heavenly Venerable nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, there is news from the Hongmeng Sect that they and the Western Sect are gathering troops, and the ancestors in the Ghost Realm have also begun recruiting troops. Their target seems to be Northern Juluzhou."
Is that what the ancestors in the ghost realm call recruiting soldiers and buying horses?
They are just trying to snatch ghost cultivators and capture able-bodied men!
However, since their target is Northern Juluzhou, they don't need to be too anxious. The demon ancestors in Northern Juluzhou can at least hold out for a while.
Moreover, those demon ancestors will not shed tears until they see the coffin. They have warned others several times, but they still don’t take it seriously.
This time, it’s time to let them take a good look at what the coffin looks like.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "I just heard about this in the ghost realm. What do you think, what does your master say?"
Tiger Power Heavenly Venerable rode on the auspicious cloud without hesitation and said anxiously: "Our master said that she wants to discuss it with you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu immediately stepped onto the auspicious cloud and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, Master Tiger, take me there quickly."
Huli Tianzun took him on a rapid flight and soon they arrived outside the pavilion where Qingmu Patriarch was practicing.
When Patriarch Qingmu saw Chen Jiu coming, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect are really going to attack Beijuluzhou, but the ancestors of Beijuluzhou just don't believe us. What should we do?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if they don't believe it. When the armies of Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect attack them, they will know how powerful we are."
Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but said with a worried look on his face: "It will be too late for them to know by then."
Chen Jiu quickly comforted him, "Ancestor, you don't have to worry too much. They are all ancestors after all. It's not that easy for them to be killed. They will choose to run away if they know they can't win. Then it will be easy for us to tell them to unite to deal with Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect."
Patriarch Qingmu was still worried and said, "They can run away, but how many of their demons can escape? There are not many demons to begin with. If they continue to make trouble, I'm afraid the demons will really die out."
There is a way to do this.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said decisively: "Ancestor, we can send someone to inform them that the armies of Hongmeng and Western Religion are about to attack. It doesn't matter if they don't believe it. We can ask them to prepare for a rainy day and gather their demon tribes. When the armies of Hongmeng and Western Religion really attack, it will be easier for them to run away with their demon tribes. They can just dodge and collect them and it will be over."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu nodded slightly, then sighed and said, "If they still don't believe this, then there is nothing we can do. They deserve to be left alone.
Ah Jiu, if they all retreat to the dead tree's territory, can you hold on? This time, nearly ten ancestors attacked at the same time, there are probably dozens of Tianzuns, at least hundreds of Zhenjuns, and who knows how many Zhenren there are."
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said solemnly: "If they can all retreat to Deadwood City, the number of our ancestors is actually not much different from that of the Hongmeng Sect. As for the Heavenly Lords and True Lords, I don't have many of them. But it doesn't matter. We have Deadwood City to resist their attacks, and we also have the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
I will send 200,000 or 300,000 True Gods over there. If they really want to attack head-on, even the ancestor might be hacked to death by us!"
You can easily send out two or three hundred thousand demon gods!
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but said in surprise: "Ajiu, I was right about you. Well, as long as Deadwood City can hold on, they will have offended those ancestors of Northern Juluzhou for nothing."
This is indeed the case. The goal of Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect should be to take over Beijuluzhou and then besiege Patriarch Qingmu from three sides.
Now that they can't take over the Deadwood City, they can't take over the southernmost territory of Northern Jammu and Kalpa. It won't make much sense for you to take over the territory in the north of Northern Jammu and Kalpa. If they can't send troops from Northern Jammu and Kalpa to attack Qingmu Divine State, it would be equivalent to offending the ancestors of Northern Jammu and Kalpa, which would be a loss.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Ancestor, don't worry, I will do my best to defend the Deadwood City. I believe that as long as they don't send me up to fight, they should not be able to take the Deadwood City. If they really send me up to fight, we still have the Greenwood City.
If they really want to send their ancestors to fight desperately, you think they will have to kill a few of their ancestors. If their number of ancestors is not as large as ours, they should be careful. "
Patriarch Qingmu also nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Ah Jiu, then you should hurry up and prepare. If you need any help, just let us know. We will definitely support you with all our strength."
Chen Jiu nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, Old Ancestor, I'll leave first."
After saying this, he disappeared towards the Sea of Sacred Trees.
If the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect gather the ancestors of the ghost realm to attack Beijuluzhou with all their strength, can he really withstand it?
