When the sentimental guys went out, they had already thought of collecting some blood mist essence to go back. No wonder they were so enthusiastic along the way. They also saw that the containers they took out looked like jade but not jade, and looked like gold but not gold. It was obviously a special container specially used to load the blood mist essence to prevent it from being corroded. Lei Dong took one casually, put the blood mist essence in it, and said with a smile, "Don't fight, everyone, we will distribute it uniformly when we go back, no one will have more or less."
When going out and doing team activities, the most taboo thing is unfair distribution of spoils. Doing so will often lead to the collapse of the team, and in the end no one can get any benefits. Although Lei Dong is not a team, and they are different from top to bottom, Lei Dong's cheerful and fair behavior makes everyone feel happy and admired.
Since then, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the progress has been very smooth. Except for the occasional sneak attack by various Monster Beast, there have been no big mistakes. After all, there is Lei Long in the team. The existence of Spirit Transmutation level, whose divine mind is extremely powerful, has increased the safety factor a lot. However, a large amount of loot has been collected. The Styx River is extremely wide and far away. The area that everyone is searching for is just a drop in the ocean and is inaccessible.
Therefore, with the loot gained along the way, everyone can make a good fortune after returning home. This journey took more than a month, and because of the safest route and coordinates left by Netherworld Ghost Emperor, we arrived at the bank of the Styx smoothly and without any danger.
Lei Dong gently floated on the edge of the Styx, looking at the ocean-like, red-yellow and endlessly surging Styx. It was round in shape and swept up by the rotating water column. It was really spectacular. However, the Styx was extremely yin. Even with Nascent Soul level cultivation like Lei Dong, with a thin shield on his body, he could feel an extremely cold breath coming towards his face.
The most peculiar thing about the Styx River is that it is not simply extremely yin water. There seem to be countless vengeful spirits in the rushing river. I don't know where they come from and where they are going. I saw a huge wave coming, and a translucent vengeful spirit leaped up. Amidst the sharp hissing, it came with fangs and claws, and the resentment was so high that it seemed to want to drag people into the Styx River.
"Hmph, you're looking for death." A Ghost King level guard stepped forward, with a strong momentum around him, exuding a powerful and oppressive aura. The resentful spirit screamed and hurriedly disappeared into the red-orange waves. It seemed that there were quite a lot of various resentful spirits Living Soul hidden in the waves.
"Haha, I heard that the Styx River is connected to Heaven and Earth Universe and contains one of the supreme laws of the universe. After the death of a living being, the scattered soul will be sucked into the tributaries of the Styx River by the power of the Unseen, and eventually flow along the Styx River into the Nether God Hall, and then be reincarnated?" Lei Dong asked with a calm smile. Lei Dong had heard of this legend a long time ago. But the legend was just a legend after all and could not be taken seriously. But the scene in front of him made Lei Dong a little surprised. What is the power of this Styx River? It can actually suck in so many souls? And then condense into countless resentful spirits?
You must know that the waters of the Styx in front of you are just the tip of the iceberg. The waters of the Styx are extremely vast and winding. It is countless miles long, and no one knows where it ends. Just in this area in front of you, you can see so many resentful spirits Living Soul. How many should there be in the entire Styx?
"Sir, among the Heavenly Spirit Ghost knowledge inheritance that Xiao You received, there are some related memories." Xiao You was quite emotional when he saw it, and said softly, "Actually, this life is good., in a sense, it is the mother river of our ghost clan. From my knowledge inheritance, I vaguely know that most of the ghost clan are washed by the Styx, washing away their hostility, resentment, and memories, and finally return to their origins to form pure Spirit Ghost. I also heard my father say that every ten years, among the top leaders of our ghost clan, there will be a grand ceremony to welcome a group of new Spirit Ghost."
"Is there such a strange thing?" Lei Dong was also surprised. It was the first time he heard such a secret. He half-closed his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought. Lei Dong always felt that his Soul Devouring Pagoda and Styx were somehow involved.
"Master Lei, what the princess said, please don't spread it outside." The leader of the guards said with a slightly serious face, "This is the secret of our ghost clan. Although the high-ranking people of all clans know more or less about the origin and birth of our ghost clan.. But the birthplace of our ghost clan is an extremely confidential matter, and Ghost Emperor personally participates in the pick-up and drop-off every time." He said with a slight panic, "Then again, we were all born from the Holy Land."
"Everyone, please rest assured that the Gui Clan and Lei are not only allies, but also as close as one family." Lei Dong said solemnly, "The interests of the Gui Clan are my interests, Lei, and Lei will definitely not betray the interests of the Gui Clan."
The leader of the guards was a little embarrassed and said, "Young Master, I just said one more thing. In fact, Your Majesty can safely let you come here because you have great trust in the Young Master. I know a little about the Styx. If the Young Master doesn't dislike it, just listen to my nagging."
"Lei is really interested in hearing such strange things and is all ears." Lei Dong said very seriously.
"Actually, the young master has some understanding of the birth of the ghost clan. They are souls that are nourished by Netherworld Ghost Qi and gradually evolve. The most numerous of them are human beings. In fact, most of our ghost clan Spirit Ghost are born from human souls." The leader of the guards talked eloquently. "Just like the ghostly places in the world., if a human being is buried here, the uncultivated souls will condense into Yin Soul, and those with outstanding qualifications are called Spirit Ghost. But Yin Soul and Spirit Ghost born in that way, to us ghosts, are wild Yin Soul Spirit Ghost. Spirit Ghost, who make up the vast majority of the members of our ghost clan, were born in the Holy Land of our clan. As the young master knows from rumors, the Styx River is involved in a mysterious law between heaven and earth. It will automatically attract the souls of the recently deceased between heaven and earth, and pull them into the Styx River. After the Styx River flows and washes for a long time, many impurities will eventually be washed away., and finally formed Spirit Ghost. In this way, a Yin Soul is formed, which is of extremely high quality. At least most of them are Spirit Ghost, Middle Grade, Upper Grade Spirit Ghost, and even Top Grade Spirit Ghost, there will be more than ten or twenty of them every ten years..."
Dozens of Top Grade Spirit Ghost? In other words, on average, one or two are born every year? Even Lei Dong with Soul Devouring Pagoda in hand is slightly moved. It is indeed a bit powerful. In a place as big as Kang Prefecture, a Top Grade Spirit Ghost may not be born every few decades. That thing is something that can be encountered but not sought.
But from this point of view, the strength of the ghost clan in the underworld seems to be much greater than what I imagined?
"But the Styx River's washing of souls is not perfect. Young Master, look at those resentful spirits fluttering in the waves. They are the products of some of the souls whose memories were washed away by the Styx River, but evolved directly in the Styx River. Because the water of the Styx River has gone through a lot of After being washed away, a large amount of evil spirit has accumulated. After absorbing the evil spirit, those evil spirits will gradually turn into evil spirits that are neither human nor ghosts. As time goes by, those resentful spirits will become stronger and stronger, and regard the Styx as their hometown."
"Hmph, that's nonsense." Lei Dong heard the cold snort of the weapon spirit directly in his mind, "These ghosts think that they are natural products of the universe and have followed the authentic Heaven and Earth Universe method. Then, it is really a bit of self-deception. In our time, people with a little knowledge knew that the ghost tribe was created by the god of Hades, and this Styx River seemed to be the god of Hades who pulled the water from the underworld outside the territory to form such a Styx River. But that The god of Hades is also a really amazing power, and even my master admires him very much. He can actually use the loopholes in the laws of Heaven and Earth Universe and take advantage of the power of heaven and earth to integrate the laws he created into Heaven and Earth Universe. It is also recognized by the laws of Heaven and Earth Universe. It is really amazing. It is amazing. However, its ability is limited after all. This law can only be applied to ordinary humans with weak souls. Human monks are completely Different, because as they continue to practice, their souls will become stronger and stronger, forming divine souls, Nascent Soul, or even Primordial Spirit. However, the Styx Law created by Hades has been forcibly integrated into it. Some of the laws of the universe have been incorporated into it, so some low-level monks or souls of Monster Beast souls that have not dissipated and have been wandering around for a long time will also be sucked into the Styx. The water of the Styx can only wash away their remaining memories and reason., but it cannot be consumed to restore their souls. Over time, this part of the soul has lost its memory and reason, leaving only instincts. After devouring each other and evolving the instincts, they will form resentful spirits. This is the original design and creation of the Styx Law. The result that came to mind. Unfortunately, he suddenly disappeared from the world before he had time to modify it, and there has been no news from him since." At the end of the sentence, the weapon spirit couldn't help but look a little regretful, as if he was very regretful that he could not communicate with the God of Hades.
Lei Dong was shocked when he heard this. The weapon spirit didn't know the reason, and the ghost clan might not know the reason either. But he, combined with some of the inheritance of the previous Devil Emperor, vaguely guessed something. The god of the underworld naturally wanted to fight against some extremely powerful existences when he founded the ghost clan. How could those beings tolerate the emergence of rebels? That guy, the god of the underworld, basically ended up with the same fate as Devil Emperor.
But it's also a little strange, why didn't those gangs destroy the entire ghost clan?
"Actually, to be honest, the ghost race created by Hades at that time was a pretty useless race. Among them, Heavenly Spirit Ghost, which is said to be rare once in a thousand years, once you reach Spirit Transmutation level, it will be extremely difficult to make progress." Qi Ling said again. Sighing: "Such a race was really weak at that time. But there are no absolutes in the world. After so many years, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy has become so scarce that the ghost race has gradually managed to get through with it based on its own talent. Miracle, really a miracle."
