Ghost Realm Challenge

After communicating with several Demon Lords and leaving the West Mountain Forbidden Grounds, Zhang Yang delivered the Resurrection Grass Leaf to Danchenzi.

"Third Uncle-Master, the Resurrection Grass Leaf, a specialty of the Ghost Realm, contain extremely powerful vitality."

After Zhang Yang introduced the characteristics of the Resurrection Grass Leaf to Danchenzi, the question then became how to utilize the Resurrection Grass.

After pondering for a moment, he took out a drop of Soul-Condensing Liquid and gave it to Danchenzi, saying earnestly, "Third Uncle-Master, this is also a special product of the Ghost Realm, Soul-Condensing Liquid. It can transform a recently deceased person into a ghost cultivator. See if you can use this property to refine pills."

"Ah!" Danchenzi's eyes widened.

As Alchemist, he knew very well that if this thing could be used to refine pills, no one in the Azure Cloud Sect would be afraid of death anymore!

Although we lack Soul-Condensing Liquid, we can trade it with the Ghost Realm!

"I'll study it right away!" Danchenzi took the Resurrection Grass Leaf and Soul-Condensing Liquid and went off to study them.

The Soul-Condensing Liquid was sent by Zhang Yang to the Azure Cloud Sect's treasury with a note attached.

This kind of thing must have been preserved as part of the sect's foundation.

He thought for a moment and then carried another drop with him, just in case he needed it someday.

As for the Netherworld Jade, it can actually be used to enhance the abilities of the Ghost Dao, or to help Hualingzi research Ghost Talisman; both are actually very useful items.

However, the Ghost Realm Envoys were already testing them; if they actually used it, wouldn't they expose their deception?

We still need to carefully consider how to utilize the Netherworld Jade.

After dealing with the three treasures obtained from the Ghost Realm, Zhang Yang found Kong Xiuping and said, "Brother Kong, the training will be temporarily suspended."

Kong Xiuping looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't there still about a month left?"

We finally managed to lure him here, are we just going to let him off so easily?

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What I mean is, let's save the remaining month for now; there are more important things to deal with."

How could he just let Kong Xiuping leave like that?

What a great tool!

Kong Xiuping immediately tensed up and asked, "What is it now?"

He's been fooled so many times, he should have used his brain by now.

"The first thing is that someone from the Ghost Realm has already entered Azure Cloud City." Zhang Yang's expression turned serious. "Besides one... a Tribulation Realm expert, the Ghost Realm Envoys also brought ten juniors, whose cultivation levels are around the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm."

The Ghost Realm's goal is to challenge the geniuses of our Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The Langya Sacred Land is also involved in this matter, so you need to return to the Langya Sacred Land and report this news to your Sage Master Uncle."

Kong Xiuping's expression also turned serious, and he asked, "What is their purpose?"

When it comes to matters of the Ghost Realm, no one can afford to be indifferent.

"The first reason is that the Ghost Realm Envoys want to have a duel with the cultivators from our Immortal Cultivation Realm. They are carrying ten heavenly materials and earthly treasures unique to the Ghost Realm. If you defeat them once, you can get one of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

As for the second reason, it was for the Prodigy Battlefield.

Zhang Yang told Kong Xiuping the real reason, which also meant that he told the Langya Sacred Land about the plan for the Prodigy Battlefield.

Their Azure Cloud Sect had been planning this for several years, and now they were informing the Langya Sacred Land —not too early, not too late.

If preparations for the Langya Sacred Land begin now, there are still benefits to be gained.

They're allies, after all; we can't let them get away with something too bad.

"A treasure from the Ghost Realm? The Prodigy Battlefield?" Kong Xiuping was even more shocked. "Isn't the Prodigy Battlefield supposed to open in three hundred years? And if they're using such a treasure to challenge us, what do we need to offer?"

"The Ghost Realm didn't make any demands, they just want to fight us." Zhang Yang paused, then said meaningfully, "The Prodigy Battlefield will reopen in eight years..."

Kong Xiuping was completely dumbfounded.

Wasn't the time they agreed upon three hundred years from now?

Who can overcome their restrictions and open the Prodigy Battlefield?

At that moment, he thought of many things.

The Ghost Realm suddenly appeared, and the Demon Race also suddenly moved; the Ghost Realm even sent people to challenge them.

In addition, the Azure Cloud Sect trained a group of young disciples, all of whom were under forty years old...

Having personally entered the Prodigy Battlefield, Kong Xiuping seemed to understand something.

His gaze instantly fell on Zhang Yang's face. He looked at Zhang Yang strangely and asked, "You didn't already know this, did you?"

Zhang Yang immediately looked displeased and said, "Brother Kong, what are you saying? If I had known, would I have not informed you? We only found out about the Ghost Realm Envoys's visit just now, so why did I tell you immediately?"

"Heh!" Kong Xiuping chuckled coldly. He wasn't so honest anymore; he wouldn't believe anything now.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left the Azure Cloud Sect, flying back to the Langya Sacred Land.

This was too important; he had to tell his father the news immediately.

Watching Kong Xiuping fly away, Zhang Yang sighed, "Sigh, he's not so easy to fool anymore..."

He summoned Jiang Zhiqiu and instructed him, "Publish the Azure Cloud Gazette, saying that the Ghost Realm is using a valuable treasure as a wager to challenge experts from all sects at the Primordial Spirit Realm and Nascent Soul Realm levels, hoping that experts from all sects will come to Azure Cloud City to participate in the arena competition!"

"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother, I'll arrange it right away!" Jiang Zhiqiu hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, Kong Xiuping rushed back to the Langya Sacred Land and immediately found the Sage Master: "Father, something terrible has happened! The Prodigy Battlefield is about to open!"

The Sage Master looked puzzled and asked, "Are you still asleep? Why are you opening it already?"

"Ghost Realm have arrived; they're here specifically for the Prodigy Battlefield," Kong Xiuping said anxiously. "And the Azure Cloud Sect —they've already started training people; I reckon it's all for the Prodigy Battlefield."

The Sage Master took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

How did this involve the Ghost Realm?

What has the Azure Cloud Sect prepared?

Kong Xiuping immediately recounted Zhang Yang's words and all his speculations, then said fiercely, "The group of people I trained are definitely aiming for the Prodigy Battlefield. They're all too young; none of them are over forty. Moreover, Zhang Yang himself admitted that the Prodigy Battlefield will open in eight years!"

The Sage Master was stunned, then burst into curses. "That damn brat, he actually hid it from me again! Could he have been preparing for over ten years? Probably not, he probably only started preparing in the last few years. Thank goodness, we still have eight years, it's not too late to start preparing now."

After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Kong Xiuping and asked, "Didn't you train them for several months? How are these Azure Cloud Sect disciples doing? We can also find out more about them!"

Kong Xiuping said with a complicated expression, "Father, the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect are more terrifying than I imagined!"

Especially Zhang Changshan, whom we sent over, he's truly remarkable!

"What has Zhang Changshan done?" the Sage Master asked hastily.

Kong Xiuping hurriedly told Zhang Changshan about his understanding of the power of "struggle," but of course, he didn't mention that Zhang had been beaten and assaulted.

After listening quietly, the Sage Master looked at Kong Xiuping with a complicated expression and asked, "Are you really my son?"

"Um?"

Kong Xiuping's eyes widened.
