Chapter 489: Digging a Huge Pit
Nine days passed quickly, and Chen Jiu once again came to Xuanming Island with tens of thousands of refined bat god puppets.
In the hall, he, Patriarch Xuanming, and Yu Qi sat cross-legged around a small coffee table.
They were not drinking or eating meat, and there were no plates or bowls on the small coffee table. Instead, there was a map, a topographic map of the outer area of the ghost domain.
The outer area of the ghost domain is really huge. Yu Qi has already ordered two teams of ghosts and gods to control the bat god puppet and fly more than 100,000 miles in two directions, but he still has not found the end of the outer area of the ghost domain.
And judging from the terrain, the outer perimeter of the ghost domain is still expanding to the northwest and northeast. If the ghost domain is not an inverted triangle, then the rumors are true. The ghost domain is larger than the five known land areas combined!
The area they had explored was more than 200,000 miles away, and there were more than ten thousand islands within this semi-circular water area, but there was not a single ghost cultivator on these islands.
In other words, all these ghost cultivators were captured by the ghost realm ancestors, and it is unknown how many they captured.
Chen Jiu stared at the map, frowned and pondered for a while, then asked, "Seventh Brother, did you get a lot of Soul Blood Stones?"
Yu Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "We have gained a lot of soul blood stones. Do you want them now?"
Of course.
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Take out all the big and small ones. It just so happens that the god-level weapon refiner over at Jiuling Mountain needs to test and refine the soul-blood stone inner armor."
Yu Qi nodded slightly, then raised his hand and waved.
Oh my god, so many!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, because the Soul Blood Stones that Yu Qi took out were not just a pile, but piled up like a mountain, a stone mountain that was hundreds of feet high!
This is probably more than tens of thousands of yuan. Although most of them are garbage with soul amplification less than twice, there are also many with amplification more than twice, at least thousands of yuan, and those with amplification more than three times are also hundreds of yuan.
The largest one among them was more than half a meter in size. It was the first time he had seen a Soul Blood Stone that was bigger than a human. If it could be refined into a Soul Blood Stone Inner Armor, how many times would the power of the soul be amplified?
Anyway, judging from the size, it is definitely more than six times, it may be seven or eight times, or even nine or even ten times!
Isn’t this too exaggerated?
Chen Jiu was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why are there so many Soul Blood Stones outside this ghost area?"
Patriarch Xuanming murmured, "It is rumored that in the ancient wars between strange beasts, some ancestor-level strange beasts and divine beasts could even blow up the souls of those at the god level, the true monarch level, and even the heavenly master level. The souls of these god-level, true monarch-level, and even heavenly master-level strange beasts and divine beasts, along with their qi and blood, were sucked into this stone unique to the ghost domain and formed the soul-blood stone.
In the final battle between the ancient beasts and the divine beasts, no one knows how many beasts and divine beasts were destroyed. Therefore, there are a lot of soul blood stones outside the ghost area, and they are almost scattered everywhere. "
The Soul Blood Stone is indeed very unique. It is full of tiny holes like honeycombs. It can float in the sea. It seems that there is no such unique stone anywhere else.
Moreover, even if there is such a stone outside the ghost realm, and it has absorbed the blood, qi, and soul, the soul cannot be fused with this stone without the nourishment of the rich yin energy of the ghost realm. Therefore, the soul-blood stone is unique to the ghost realm.
The number of soul blood stones in the ghost realm is not ordinary.
It took less than ten days to find so many Soul Blood Stones. There must be no shortage of materials for refining Soul Blood Stone Inner Armor. He could even let those god-level refiners who passed the trial use Soul Blood Stones with more than three times the amplification to try to refine the most precious Inner Armor.
Of course, he couldn't try it here, he had to go back to the mortal world.
Chen Jiu thought about it again, and then asked: "Seventh Brother, have the ghost immortals and bat god puppets you sent out discovered that the Ghost Domain Ancestor's men are traveling between Beijuluzhou and the Ghost Domain?"
Yu Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "We found out. Several of our bat god puppets were even destroyed by those guys. Only the spirits of the ghost immortals and ghost gods escaped."
Several of the Bat God puppets have been broken!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but said solemnly: "They won't find out that our army has arrived at the outskirts of the ghost area right?"
Yu Qi shook his head slightly and said, "It shouldn't be. The ghost immortals and ghost gods I sent out didn't fly together in groups riding the bat god puppets. They all flew separately for dozens or hundreds of miles. I only encountered a few of the True Lords and Heavenly Lords under the Ghost Domain Ancestors occasionally . Moreover, I have arranged secret sentries there. The True Lords and Heavenly Lords who are now traveling back and forth between the Ghost Domain and Northern Julu Continent cannot encounter the Bat God puppets we sent out."
That's fine.
Chen Jiu asked directly: "Do they have a fixed route between the Ghost Realm and Northern Juluzhou?"
Yu Qi nodded slightly, then pointed at the map and said, "The route is fixed, and they basically follow this line. I have ordered people to take the modified artifact chariots and hide them on several islands nearby. We will be able to find them when they go out and come back."
This place is roughly 40,000 miles northeast of Xuanming Island, which is not very far.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said decisively: "Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he picked up the map, took Yu Qi and Patriarch Xuanming into the Kingdom of God, and then quickly flashed to the northeast.
After a while, he flashed over an island marked on the map.
He expanded his spiritual sense and scanned, and sure enough, he did not find any divine chariot.
It seems that this artifact tank is still very concealed after the modification.
He simply raised his hand to summon Yu Qi and Xuan Ming Patriarch, and then asked: "Old Seven, can you find the hidden artifact chariot?"
Of course you can.
Yu Qi just slightly expanded his spiritual sense to scan around, then pointed to a mountain path that was a hundred feet high: "That's our divine chariot."
Uh, that's a mountain!
Chen Jiu extended his spiritual sense to scan again, but still found no difference between this mountain and the other surrounding mountains.
He couldn't help but asked in amazement: "Seventh Brother, how did you do this?"
Yu Qi smiled and said, "This is actually very simple. Can't our custom-made divine chariots be transformed into copper and iron mountains of various sizes at will? I will first transform a divine chariot into a copper mountain of ten feet in size, and then transform it into a room of several feet in radius, and then carve some magic arrays on the outside to shield divine consciousness.
Then just cut a mountain a hundred feet high on this island, dig a hole, shrink the artifact chariot, put it in, and then turn it back to a size of ten feet."
This process is a bit complicated, but the principle is quite simple. It is just to stuff an object engraved with a magic array into an ordinary mountain. Because the surface of that object is engraved with a magic array that blocks spiritual consciousness, it naturally cannot be scanned by spiritual consciousness.
Chen Jiuyou extended his spiritual sense and took a careful scan, and sure enough, the middle of the mountain seemed to be blank for more than ten feet.
This is obviously abnormal. There cannot be a blank area in the mountain. If you scan carefully, you will definitely find it.
However, there are more than a hundred mountains of all sizes on an island with a radius of more than 100 miles. Naturally, no one would use spiritual sense to scan every mountain from the outside to the inside. That would be too time-consuming, and no one would be so bored.
Chen Jiu thought about it and couldn't help asking, "This divine consciousness is blocked, how can we get in?"
Can the magic circle be turned off?
Yu Qi flashed to the side of the mountain and said loudly, "Turn off the magic circle. I'll bring Master Jiu and Master Diao in to take a look."
Soon, he turned around and smiled, "Okay."
After saying that, he flashed in.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiu and Patriarch Xuanming could not help but send out their spiritual sense to take a look, then flashed into the room in the mountain.
This room is actually not small. It is several meters in size and can easily fit hundreds of people in it. Moreover, there is a ghost or god inside who can become virtual.
If we stuff in ghosts, immortals, and gods, then it would probably be no problem to stuff in tens of thousands of them.
The only problem here is that it is not airtight. However, when you reach the realm of immortals and have your own immortal palace and kingdom of God, it doesn’t matter if it is not airtight.
Chen Jiu took a general look at the furnishings in the house, and then extended his spiritual sense to scan the outside, and then asked: "How often do the ghost domain ancestors' subordinates come here?"
The ghost god quickly introduced in detail: "Not many, they should take turns to go back and forth, one day someone will pass through here to go to Northern Juluzhou, and the next day that person will pass through here to return to the ghost realm."
Only one every two days, which is indeed not much.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "Do they have a fixed time for going back and forth?"
The ghost thought back, "The time they set out is not fixed, but after passing through here, it usually takes about thirteen hours for them to come back."
About thirteen hours?
Chen Jiu thought about it again, and then asked: "Did they fly over or flash over?"
The ghost said without hesitation: "They all flew here."
Flying over.
This is already the edge of the Yin-Yang Boundary. The thickness of the Yin-Yang Boundary is about ten thousand miles. After passing it, there is still about ten thousand miles of sea to the Northern Continent, which adds up to twenty thousand miles. A round trip is forty thousand miles. It takes thirteen hours to fly forty thousand miles, plus rest time, so it takes about three thousand miles in one hour.
In other words, it took them about three hours to cross the Yin and Yang boundary.
The ancestor's speed may be even faster, but even faster it will probably take more than an hour.
This amount of time is enough for them to prepare.
Chen Jiu estimated for a while, then asked: "Are their people going to Beijuluzhou or returning?"
The ghost said without hesitation: "Their people just went back about an hour ago."
The width of the sea area outside the ghost domain is about ten thousand miles. It takes two hours for people to fly back. Even if they send someone over immediately, it will take another three hours. A total of five hours is enough.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then said decisively: "Seventh Brother, come with me from here to cross the Yin and Yang Realm and see. Master Diao, you go back and look after Xuanming Island first. It will take us at least half a day to get back."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming Patriarch nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he flashed away.
Chen Jiu called upon Yu Qi to get out, and then transformed into a size of more than ten feet, carried Yu Qi on his back, spread his golden wings and flew into the Yin and Yang Realm.
It is necessary to have a reference when crossing the Yin and Yang realm, because the spiritual consciousness cannot explore too far in the Yin and Yang realm. If there is nothing for reference, it is very likely to get lost. Therefore, when crossing the Yin and Yang realm, people usually look for islands along the way for reference.
It was actually a little risky for him to fly like this. After all, he had never flown out of the Yin and Yang world here, and no one had taken him on this route before. He didn't know how many reference islands there were, let alone the specific locations of these islands.
However, he has an advantage, that is the double protection of the Star God Armor and the Inner Armor. He basically will not be deviated from his direction by the violent yin and yang energy. If he encounters a lightning area along the way, he does not need to take a detour and can just go through it directly.
In other words, he can fly in a straight line and rarely gets lost.
He flew for two hours and discovered more than a dozen islands of different sizes along the way. When he passed through the Yin and Yang boundary, he found another island not far ahead.
In other words, there are many reference points for this route, and people will definitely follow this route and will not change it easily.
This ambush was like a godsend for him.
He could easily dig a huge pit along this route and bury all the ancestors of the ghost realm in it!
Where should we start digging this
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Seventh Brother, is it difficult to modify that kind of hidden artifact chariot?"
Yu Qi shook his head slightly and said, "That's very simple. I can modify dozens of them a day."
Chen Jiu asked again: "How far can the teleportation array teleport?"
Yu Qi explained in detail: "There is no fixed number for this. For example, the Yellow Spring Road Teleportation Array can teleport across boundaries, and we don't know how far it can teleport. The teleportation array disks made in Qingmufang City can teleport thousands of miles away. I am still far behind. The teleportation array disk I made can only teleport over a hundred miles away."
Thousands of miles away, that’s enough!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu said decisively: "Well, I will go to Qingmufang City to order a batch of chariots and ask them to refine thirty arrays that can teleport a thousand miles. When the time comes, you can modify them well. We will deploy chariots with teleportation arrays on the islands along the way as secret sentries."
Yu Qi thought about it carefully after hearing this, then pointed to the Yin-Yang Realm behind him and said, "When the time comes, you may have to take me inside to cut off more than ten mountains, because I found that the mountains in the Yin-Yang Realm are different from the mountains on the islands outside the ghost domain. If we use the same ones, it is very likely that there will be flaws."
Chen Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, I'll take you into the Yin-Yang Realm and cut off twenty mountains."
