Two days later, Ning Fa followed the Devil Master deep north into the Desolate Sea for hundreds of thousands of li, arriving at a strange place.
The sea here had gradually turned a deep black. The ferocious sea beasts once visible everywhere had swiftly grown scarce. Heaven and earth were deathly quiet, and the atmosphere was stifling.
After flying nearly another ten thousand li deeper into these waters, Yin Wind howled furiously, carrying pale black ice crystals within it. This was not mere cold, but an extreme chill. By this point, even Core Formation Cultivators would find it difficult to endure.
Moreover, grotesque ghostly creatures began appearing all around them, fearlessly charging at the two.
But before Ning Fa could act, the Devil Master merely revealed a trace of his aura. Those ghostly creatures immediately showed terror and hurriedly retreated.
At last, a black ice plain appeared ahead. From afar, countless ghostly creatures—skeletons, zombies, and the like—could be seen wandering about as though mindlessly.
Sensing the exceedingly dense Yin energy deep within the ice plain, Ning Fa was somewhat surprised.
The Devil Master smiled at Ning Fa. "There is a fifth-grade Profound Yin earth vein here, which is why the Yin energy is so dense.
"There was originally an injured Spirit Transformation stage Ghost King here. I paid a tremendous price to kill it.
"Thanks to this place, I was able to successfully transform into a ghost cultivator body. This is also the best place for me to undergo the Spirit Transformation Tribulation.
"Over the years, I have made quite a few preparations. I hope they can add a little to my chances."
As he spoke, the Devil Master's lean face was filled with gravity. Even he had no confidence whatsoever when facing a ghost cultivator's Spirit Transformation Tribulation.
