Netherworld Immortal

On May day, the golden light of the morning sun sprinkled on the Luoyu Mountains, lighting up the whole world.

Among the countless mountain peaks, on one of the inconspicuous hillsides, a huge ancient bronze sword was inserted straight. Six feet tall.

The sunlight cast a straight shadow on the back of the sword body, recording the loss of time.

The sword grid between the hilt and the blade is a sphinx-nosed tiger-eyed, two-horned ghost head with bared teeth. From the two nostrils of the ghost head, a gray ghostly aura radiates from time to time, making the viewers feel awe .

It is said that this sword was left here by a powerful ancestor of the Heavenly Ghost Sect when he pioneered the way of evil ghosts.

This sword pierced through the mountain, cut off the void, and the other end of the sword is connected to another space called the evil ghost path.

Opposite the huge ancient sword is a square built on the mountain, and the square is crowded with people at this time.

They are all disciples who have come to participate in the trial of evil ghosts.Xu Yang and Bai Mujin were among them.

There are forty disciples who have successfully advanced to the trial of evil ghosts this time, including 20 disciples from the three major families, the Yasha family, the Guigu family and the Wuchang family, and 20 disciples from other families.Among the 40 people, only Xu Yang was born as a mortal, and he was the only Void Transformation Realm cultivator.

At this time, a handsome young man in white clothes stood opposite the crowd, he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although his figure was very small compared to the giant sword not far behind him, his star-like eyes shone with a brilliance that made people have to respect and look up to.

The noisy crowd in the square immediately quieted down.

"I, Bai Shaojie, the master of the Yungui Hall, was appointed by the suzerain, and I have the honor to be the host of this trial of the Evil Ghost Dao. The Evil Ghost Dao is no different from other trial places in the sect. Space. Once you are in danger, the sect cannot provide timely rescue. Those who can be selected are all elites among the young disciples of our Tiangui sect. Although there is a competitive relationship between you here, I personally hope that During the trial, everyone can lend a helping hand to each other. Let the elder Shangguan of the Law Enforcement Hall read out the rules of this trial."

"Elder Shangguan, please." After speaking, Bai Shaojie stood aside.

"Hall Master Bai, please be polite." After saying that, a thin old man in a black robe with a gray beard stood forward with a smile on his face.

"One month ago, at the joint meeting of the suzerain and the law enforcement elders, a resolution to rebuild the evil ghost hall was passed. As soon as the news came out, disciples of the sect, including disciples from the three major families, responded and signed up enthusiastically. It can be seen This matter is in line with the wishes of the disciples, it is a wise move by the core members of the sect, and it is a far-sighted move..."

For a full quarter of an hour, the elder Shangguan didn't say a single word about the rules of the trial, which made all the disciples in the audience drowsy.

"Cough cough." Bai Shaojie coughed twice from the side, and reminded with a secret method: "Elder Shangguan, it's getting late."

At this time, the elder Shangguan was talking, foaming at the corners of his mouth, and beaming with joy.It seems that the convening of the Evil Ghost Dao Trial is his personal heroic deed.

Elder Shangguan turned his head to look at Bai Shaojie at the side, and then at the many drowsy disciples in front of him, and said in a still insatiable way: "Time is running out, I will explain the rules of the trial in detail, everyone must listen carefully."

As soon as the rules of the trial were about to be explained, the disciples in the square began to show excited expressions on their faces again, all of them gearing up and eager to try.

Elder Shangguan took out the scroll prepared in advance from his wide cuff, opened it, and read aloud the rules of the Evil Ghost Dao Trial.

First, the criteria for passing the test.

Successfully obtained a Nine Nether Crystal in the Evil Ghost Dao.But only the top [-] disciples who returned first and possessed the Nine Nether Crystals passed the trial, and the subsequent disciples and those who did not obtain the Nine Nether Crystals were eliminated.

Secondly, the specific rules of the trial.

The disciples of the trial can challenge each other to snatch the Nine Nether Crystals from others, and the one who finally has the Nine Nether Crystals wins.Each of the trial disciples will be issued a special jade card for recording, and the jade card will automatically record the record of the fight between the trial disciples.

Finally, the time for the trial is one month after entering, and the evil ghost path will be automatically closed after one month.

……

"What a cruel rule. Doesn't this make the disciples in the trial kill each other in the evil ghost way?" Bai Mujin was surprised after hearing the rules.

Xu Yang on the side also gasped, not to mention whether he could successfully find the Nine Nether Crystals in the Evil Ghost Dao, even fighting with these elite disciples would be a great risk.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had a few goals to complete, I really didn't want to take Hibiscus into the adventure.

After hearing this, other ordinary disciples also lamented the cruelty of the trial of evil ghosts. Only the disciples of the three major families knew something from the dictation of the family seniors in advance, and did not show the slightest panic.

At this time, Bai Shaojie stood in front again.

Lang Sheng said: "The evil ghost hall has always been adhering to the concept of giving up to others, doing my part, and using violence to control violence. The trials are cruel, but according to past experience, once the disciples who pass the trials and tests, the disciples in the execution sect The casualty rate is the lowest during dangerous missions. This is also caused by the fact that when the Tiangui Sect was first established, the comprehension world was in a war environment. If you are not strong, you will die. At that time, the Evil Ghost Hall was the earliest battle hall in the sect. Almost all tasks that need to be completed are life and death tasks. But now it seems that the rules of fighting among the trial disciples are too cruel. Therefore, before coming here, the suzerain lord specially explained that the purpose of killing other disciples must not be intentional. If more than two disciples die during the trial, they will be disqualified and severely punished."

"Come here, prepare to open the door to the path of evil ghosts."

Bai Shaojie gave an order, and four young deacons in black walked over from the side carrying a long black box that was many feet long and three feet wide.

With a "bang", the black box made a metal impact when it was placed on the ground.

The four deacons carefully removed the lid of the box and put it aside, then retreated respectfully.

In the black box, a rolled piece of black cloth about ten feet wide was lying straight inside the box.

Bai Shaojie cast a spell on it with the technique of controlling objects through the air, and the black cloth in the box was thrown into the air with a "buzz", and it hovered motionless.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shaojie hit the cloth in mid-air with his wheel-like formula.

The black cloth spun and gradually opened, revealing golden runes on the black cloth.The cloth stretched faster and faster, like a huge black curtain floating in the sky.

"go with!"

The fully unfolded shady scene is like a magical black dragon twisting its body and swimming towards the half-length giant sword not far away.

"Crash."

The long black curtain wrapped around the body of the giant sword, tightly entangled in circles.

Looking at the golden runes that were originally scattered on the black screen, they now form a golden ghost pattern, which is very similar to the ghost head decoration on the sword grid.

Bai Shaojie struck out with both palms, and unparalleled mana poured into the giant sword like a torrential wave. Because the mana was so huge, it was even visible to the naked eye that the light and shadow were distorted in the heat wave formed by the mana.

With a "hum" sound from the giant sword, a large amount of black mist spewed out from the ground where the giant sword was inserted.

The fog is getting thicker.

With a "bang", the ground trembled, and a tall, vermilion door rose from the black mist.

And the golden ghost head pattern wrapped around the black screen of the giant sword disappeared in the golden light, but appeared on the vermilion gate in a blink of an eye.

"Kakkaka."

The golden ghost head on the vermilion gate radiated brilliant brilliance, and the gate opened a gap in the middle and gradually opened.

black.

Endless black.

Black as the abyss.

Appeared behind the vermilion gate.

"Through this evil ghost Rashomon, you can enter the evil ghost path. The previous evil ghost path will not be entered as the host, but because the evil ghost path has not been opened for a long time. This time, the suzerain allows me to enter with you But I will not participate in anything related to the trial. My duty is to guard this Rashomon passage to ensure that everyone can return safely. Remember, this door is opened for one month, and it will automatically close after one month .”

After Bai Shaojie finished speaking, he stepped into the Rashomon with his head held high, and the figure in white disappeared into the darkness.

A moment later, Bai Shaojie's voice came from inside the Rashomon Gate: "The path of evil spirits is unimpeded, and this trial has officially begun."

The sound flew into the ears of every disciple present like a loud battle song.

The forty disciples who participated in the trial filed into the Rashomon with great momentum.

Xu Yang and Mu Jin walked side by side in the team.

After everyone entered the vermilion gate, the square suddenly became deserted, only the emaciated elder Shangguan and a few deacon disciples remained.

"Hallmaster Bai has led all his disciples into the evil ghost path, has the mountain sealing formation been activated?" Elder Shangguan asked.

"Elder, the formation that seals the mountain has been opened, and now not even a bird can get in. And the people from the Barbarian Hall are guarding the bottom of the mountain, and no one is allowed to enter."

"I hope they come back safe and sound."

Elder Shangguan stroked his beard with one hand, looked at Rashomon and said.

……

At the other end of the passage, a vermilion gate, which is the same as that on the Broken Sword Mountain Square, stands in an open space.

Not far behind the vermilion gate is a huge long sword half drilled out of the ground, which just formed a complete giant sword with the one on the square before.

The sharp tip of the giant sword reflected dazzling brilliance in the sun, and went straight up, as if it was about to break through the ground in the next moment.

Bai Shaojie, dressed in white, stood outside the vermilion gate, looking up at the sky.

There is actually a black sun hanging in the sky here, but it emits a hot and bright light.

Not long after, the disciples participating in the trial came out of the gate one after another.

"Forty is a lot." Bai Shaojie looked at the crowd in front of him and whispered.

"Everyone is here, I still have a few words to tell everyone. There are a lot of ghost beasts in the evil ghost path. Kill the ghost beasts and you can get the monster crystals in their bodies. The monster crystals in a very small number of ghost beasts will be colorful. Yes, it is the crystal of the Nine Netherworld. It is said that some of them are extremely powerful, and even have human-like intelligence, so don't take it lightly. There is an iron rule in this space, everyone must bear in mind. It is not allowed to have a soul Otherwise, they will be rejected by the interface, and will be wiped out under the constant pursuit of the thunder of the sky. This is why the sect appointed me to be the host of this evil ghost trial. The Nine Nether Crystals contain a large amount of special ghost power, and this ghost power will not have side effects on monks. For monks who practice the ghost way, it is one of the best auxiliary materials to break through high-level realms. After that For the trial, you can choose to form a team or be alone. Let’s start, I wish you all the best.”
