Chapter 174 Ghostly Night Parade, Yaksha Ghost Emperor!
"They're all new graves!"
At this moment, Yun Shuiyao had already circled around these graves, then turned back and frowned, saying, "They're probably all from the last few years, probably those people who died at the Soul-Suppressing Inn!"
"Hmm, that girl is kind-hearted; she even built graves for these greedy guys?"
Gu Jiancheng smiled and said, "But it is indeed quite frightening to have so many graves in an inn."
"However, there is indeed a cave here!"
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng crossed the graveyard and arrived at the hill.
A pitch-black opening continuously spewed out a chilling, deathly aura.
The death energy that Gu Jiancheng sensed earlier was surging out from this cave entrance!
"This deathly aura is so strange. It seems to be only slightly weaker than the eerie aura. No wonder so many powerful people who went in couldn't escape death!"
Yunshuiyao also frowned.
In fact, this deathly aura is definitely no less powerful than the Netherworld Cold Qi currently within her body.
"It seems somewhat similar to the aura within you?"
Gu Jiancheng suddenly raised an eyebrow and said.
Because, according to the Eye of Insight, this chilling deathly aura is called [Netherworld Aura], which comes from the underworld!
The Nine Nether Cold Qi is the most core energy aura of the underworld.
"It is similar, but not from the same source. This kind of energy is called Senluo Ghost Energy, but it is very thin."
"I'm just curious, what kind of being could release such a terrifying aura? This aura shouldn't exist in this realm!"
As Yun Shuiyao spoke, she directly summoned the Nine Nether Cold Qi from within her body, enveloping her entire being, and then stepped into it.
There's no need for yin and yang energies to resist this so-called ghostly aura.
Gu Jiancheng naturally didn't need it; flames were rising around him, and the Heaven-Burning Qi was enough.
hum!
Sure enough, under the protection of the Heaven-Burning Qi, the deathly aura within the cave posed no threat to Gu Jiancheng.
The cave was pitch black, but with his penetrating eyes, Gu Jiancheng could still see that there was a downward passage inside.
The passageway was constructed of black ancient gold and covered with strange totems.
Gu Jiancheng examined them closely and discovered that what was depicted on these totems was actually a procession of a hundred ghosts at night!
It seems quite obvious now; what's hidden here might be the inheritance of the underworld's ghostly path!
This lineage is extremely rare, even in the Upper Realm.
Yunshuiyao, who was walking ahead, also had a furrowed brow.
Clearly, as the Nine Netherworld Empress, she knew far more about this ghostly lineage than Gu Jiancheng.
As the two continued down the passageway, the deathly aura within the cave grew increasingly intense.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them were protected by a more advanced aura, they would have been infiltrated and perished long ago.
Even more terrifying, Gu Jiancheng discovered that this oppressive aura of death was constantly increasing.
Thus, after descending a full nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps, the two finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
The eerie atmosphere here has become extremely dense!
Even Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao had to unleash their full power of their Heaven-Burning Qi and Netherworld Cold Qi to withstand the terrifying aura here.
Even a semi-saint level expert would likely be severely injured or even perish here!
No wonder this mysterious place, the Soul-Suppressing Inn, has been in the Wilderness City for so long, and no one has been able to leave it!
This place is absolutely a death trap.
"It is indeed this thing!"
At this moment, Yun Shuiyao in front let out a low cry, and then her life spirit suddenly rose above her head and rushed forward.
Gu Jiancheng also activated his Insightful Eyes to the fullest extent, piercing through the dense aura of the Netherworld in front of him, and was surprised to find that in the center of this vast open area, there stood a black jade statue!
The stone statue was nine zhang tall, with a solemn expression, four arms, standing on a ghost tiger, and holding a black wheel in its hands.
However, the stone statue appears to be a woman. Although she is extremely beautiful, her exposed fangs make her look strange and ferocious!
"Who is this?"
Gu Jiancheng frowned and came up behind Yun Shuiyao to ask.
Judging from Yunshuiyao's expression now, she definitely knows him.
"Yaksha Ghost Emperor, Ami Technique!"
Yunshuiyao said in a deep voice.
"Yaksha Ghost Emperor!?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.
Another empress?!
Who's more capable, him or his wife?
"However, this Amitabha is one of the ancient emperors of the underworld from ancient times."
“She is a legendary deity. The stone statues here are just offerings made by her descendants to commemorate her,” Yunshuiyao added.
"But why would anyone be offering sacrifices to the Ghost Emperor within this sacred domain?"
"And aren't the descendants of the Ghost Emperor considered part of the Yaksha clan?" Gu Jiancheng still had doubts.
Because I had previously used my Insightful Eyes to look at the girl, and the system's introduction did not mention the Yaksha clan.
"Theoretically, yes, but although the girl also has the aura of the Yaksha, she is not considered a member of the Yaksha race!"
"Or rather, not entirely," Yunshuiyao said with a mysterious smile.
"Not entirely?"
Gu Jiancheng was now somewhat bewildered.
Some people couldn't understand what Yunshuiyao was saying.
You'll find out soon enough!
As soon as Yunshuiyao finished speaking, he raised his hand to form a seal, which turned into a stream of purple light and poured into the stone statue in front of him.
hum!
In an instant, the black wheel in the Ghost Emperor's hand suddenly spun, turning into a vortex that frantically gathered all the ghostly energy in the space!
The stone statue began to hum, and an even more sinister aura emanated from it.
Under Gu Jiancheng's divine sense, he could also sense that there was a divine power within the stone statue that seemed to be reviving!
Moreover, the strength of this divine power is extremely terrifying!
Not only that, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly, and then he suddenly turned around and saw a figure rushing in from the passage behind him!
In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Gu Jiancheng.
The latter stared intently and was surprised to find that the figure was none other than the girl in white!
However, her eyes had now turned pitch black, making them appear particularly menacing and ferocious.
"I told you, you're not allowed to enter here. Why are you determined to seek your own death?!"
The girl opened her mouth and made a cold, emotionless sound.
Although this girl's cultivation was only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Heavenly Observation Realm, the divine sense that erupted from her in that instant of arrogance was already comparable to that of the Refining Ruins!
Immediately, she rushed towards Gu Jiancheng, raising her hand to condense a sword blade from the ghostly energy of the underworld.
A chilling sword domain permeated the air, seemingly about to slash into Gu Jiancheng's sea of consciousness!
This is actually the Divine Sense Sword Dao!?
"hehe!"
Gu Jiancheng merely chuckled at this.
His current divine sense is so strong that he is invincible among those in the same realm. Even though this girl has a mysterious identity and strange methods, she still cannot harm him.
hum!
The next moment, Gu Jiancheng's divine sense also erupted instantly, and the power of his sword domain spread out, instantly crushing the girl's ghostly divine sense sword in front of him.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed Yin and Yang energy, which bound and imprisoned the girl in place, rendering her unable to move.
The girl in white struggled frantically, but she was unable to break free!
Gu Jiancheng had no intention of hurting her.
Firstly, he was eager to recruit talent; this young girl possessed a mysterious talent and he absolutely had to bring her under his wing.
Secondly, he could tell that the girl's current state was like that of someone going mad, not her true nature.
Or rather, she is not herself now.
This is perhaps what Yunshuiyao meant earlier.
At this moment, Yun Shuiyao behind him had also withdrawn her hand, but the Ghost Emperor statue had already collapsed.
Only that black wheel kept hovering in front of Yunshuiyao.
A wisp of divine thought was drawn into Yun Shuiyao's brow, and then she turned around, extracted a drop of pitch-black blood from the black wheel, and injected it into the white-clad girl's body.
Thus, the girl gradually calmed down, and her dark eyes returned to their original state.
"Alright, you can let her go now!"
Yunshuiyao laughed.
"it is good!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded and then withdrew his Yin-Yang energy.
Sure enough, the girl stood there, her body trembling slightly, her eyes closed, as if she was processing something.
"My lady, what on earth is going on?!"
Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but ask, "That drop... is it blood?!"
“That’s right, it’s a drop of Yaksha blood. Only by merging this blood with her can she be considered a true Yaksha!” Yun Shuiyao nodded.
