When Zhang Chen and Elizabeth left the Ghost Realm, they came to the area south of Zero, where there is a medium-sized realm called the Swamp Realm, which is an open neutral realm, and as long as outsiders pay a certain amount of treasure money, they can enter it and enjoy the corresponding services.

The two of them sat in a relatively dry restaurant in the swamp world, and finally found a few more palatable dishes.

Elizabeth was rescued by Zhang Chen, who opened the ghost door in the sinking ghost realm, and after thinking about it afterwards, she probably guessed something that happened to Zhang Chen, Elizabeth is also a smart person and kept silent in the ghost realm.

"Who is Anna? You called me that when you rescued me from Azathoth? Elizabeth asked.

"It's just an old man, and he looks a lot like you. By the way, I'll give you something. ”

Zhang Chen ate the sour and hot swamp loach in front of him, which tasted somewhat similar to yellow eel, and then took out a beautiful music box out of nowhere and handed it to Elizabeth.

Calming music emanates from the music box, while sculptures of a man and a woman rotate slowly to the music.

Seeing Elizabeth staring intently at the music box, Zhang Chen asked the other party in surprise: "What?" Familiar? ”

"No, it turns out that there are such exquisite handicrafts in the world, and this is the first time I have seen them. I love it, thank you. ”

Elizabeth had a rather intimate feeling with the music box in her hand, and although she had no impression, she liked the object from the bottom of her heart.

However, when Elizabeth put the music box down, she asked Zhang Chen seriously in a blink of an eye: "What happened to you in the realm of the Sinking Ghost?" can freely manipulate the ghost gate internally, and even mobilize all the prohibitions in the sinking ghost realm. ”

Elizabeth asked about the subject, and Zhang Chen did not hide anything: "This matter must not be known to Onizuka, I believe you."

Zhang Chen waved his left arm. The private room where the two of them ate was immediately isolated from the space.

A faint true ghost aura in Zhang Chen's body escaped from the vertebrae in his back, and the yin blue stripes in the open right palm of his five fingers gathered in the center, and a translucent hexagonal crystal emerged from the inside.

"It's ......!" Elizabeth couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands.

"The 'Wang Ge' who sank into the ghost realm is now under my control."

"Impossible! Once the Great Realm becomes extinct, Zero will recycle the 'Wang Ge' to provide opportunities for newborn strong creatures to establish their own Great Realm in Zero. It's hard to do it. The former ghost king has always been ...... Didn't die? ”

"Quite the opposite. The ghost king had already died in prehistoric times, but all the life in the Sinking Ghost Realm still existed, and the reason why the Sinking Ghost Realm had a sense of rejection of other ghosts was that he was waiting for someone to go. ”

"Why you? …… Anyway, I shouldn't have to worry too much about these things. ”

Elizabeth suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter and stopped asking, since the sinking ghost realm 'Wang Ge' in front of her had been bound to Zhang Chen's soul, it meant that Zhang Chen's identity was not much different from the former ghost king.

"I'll tell you in detail when I have a chance in the future, and I need to ask you one thing when I'm in a hurry to come out with you." Zhang Chen saw that Elizabeth no longer cared about this matter, so he directly changed the topic.

"Say it. Whatever I know will be told to you. ”

Elizabeth and Zhang Chen have no estrangement at all, and the relationship between the two is an extremely close friend and partner.

"I've heard Onizuka talk about 'real ghost form' or 'real ghost body'.

The ghost creature with its own consciousness and strength has become a nightmare, rising to the zero, ignoring the transformation of the body by the environment, and continuing to survive in the zero environment with the essence of the ghost. Zero doesn't reject such a life form that doesn't yield to itself, and if a nightmare that has reached this level is still possible, can it be promoted to a higher level? ”

As for the question asked by Zhang Chen, Elizabeth, as a member of the ghost world, was quite clear.

"What the hell? In the human world, the prison envoy divides ghosts into low and intermediate levels. Senior. In fact, if you look at it on a deeper level, it was only the first stage of ghosts before becoming a nightmare. At this initial stage, ghosts have not yet penetrated the resentment in the body, and are collectively referred to as 'resentful ghosts'. ”

Elizabeth began to elaborate a new concept of ghost division for Zhang Chen.

"Once you realize the resentment in your heart, you can gather the resentment in your body at one point and use it to yourself to reach a medium level, and you are called a nightmare. This stage is also the state maintained by all the ghosts in the zero room, except for the ghost mound. ”

"But then there is the highest level that ghosts can reach, and this level is not the enlightenment on the 'Great Dao'. It is not a difference in the rank of the prison envoy, but a change in the substance of the body. The real ghost is more like a kind of rebirth, allowing itself to gradually become a higher individual. ”

Zhang Chen was a little puzzled and asked, "The difference between nightmares is born by Jisheng. Grievances and Khotan. Does this have anything to do with the level of ghosts? ”

"The difference you are talking about is the difference between the innate aptitudes of the individual, and the innate conditions of Khotan can be met but not sought. However, the hierarchical distinction of ghosts is a gradual process, and each ghost has the possibility of reaching the level of true ghosts, and only pure ghosts that are not assimilated by the zero environment have such room for development. ”

"Well...... What exactly is a real ghost? Zhang Chen asked a crucial question.

"Azathoth is the first-born chaos that accompanies the beginning of the universe. The concept of true ghosts is somewhat similar to it, and it is the firstborn soul when the human world is just formed and functioning, the original origin soul body, and has endless potential. ”

"The essence of ghosts is that they are souls, and humans are nothing more than an extra shell that can be used to limit the potential of souls." Elizabeth gave Zhang Chen an answer.

"Do you mean that the true ghost is an infinite development soul body that breaks through the limit? So the previous ghost king, Onizuka once told me that the true ghost origin in his body reached 100%, so isn't this strength at the same level as Azathoth? ”

"I don't know about this, it is rumored that the Oni King was killed by the King of Jizo, and this incident is the final chapter of the prehistoric period, but no one knows what the specific situation is.

However, the true ghost form you asked about is not something that can be easily attained, and in my opinion, only a person with genius and great perseverance like Onizuka can reach this level with enough time. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Chen nodded and did not continue the topic, nor did he continue to tell Elizabeth about the fact that he had become a real ghost, and calmed down to think about the real ghost.

"Anyway, what are you going to prison for? Aren't you afraid that all the wardens will imprison you? Elizabeth asked.

"It's a little bit of a thing, and I have a way of hiding from other people's eyes. My status as a prison envoy is just that the prison envoy does not admit me, and it is not that the entire prison consciousness does not recognize me. ”

"Whatever you want, I'll try to hide your identity as much as I can. Speaking of the matter on your wife's side, don't you deal with it? ”

"I'm afraid Azathos is tracking my tracks throughout the Zero Room, and if I come into contact with Wang Yizhi, I'm afraid I'll be known to Azathoth as soon as possible. The only thing I can do now is trust her, and then I'll need to raise myself to a level that is good enough for the final battle in a short period of time. ”

The two of them directly reached the edge of the prison realm from within the swamp realm with Zhang Chen's spatial ability, and used Elizabeth's status as a prison captain to easily make Zhang Chen return to Huaxia Kingdom again.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Chen thought, the prison consciousness still recognized Zhang Chen's identity as a prison envoy, even if he gave up his qualification to be a prison captain.

Zhang Chen, who was walking on the streets of Lingcheng, was like a prison master who came to Lingcheng for a limited time to exchange for items, concealing his aura to the level of a third-level prison order, and then using his blood energy to change his height and appearance.

Unless a prison guard personally contacted Zhang Chen, it would never be possible to see through Zhang Chen's true identity.

"The level of damage caused by Captain Chris's riot seems to be quite large, and the warden's ability is still extremely strong."

As Zhang Chen walked through the interior of Lingcheng, he found that the entire southeastern area was being rebuilt, and the entire area was up to 80% destroyed, and all the ordinary jailers and residents who lived here were killed.

The sins that affected the civilians should indeed all be put on Yu Ming's head, but Zhang Chen was not a messenger of justice, and it was not his turn to take care of them, so he walked indifferently through the rebuilt ruins and left the gate of the spiritual city.

Zhang Chen did not choose to come to prison to clarify his identity as a prison envoy or to redeem his identity as a prison envoy.

The main purpose is to lay the foundation for the next time to bring Yu Ming directly into the Prison Spirit Mountain Range, when Zhang Chen agreed to Yu Ming's conditions in the Five Evil Realms, he got a wisp of space artifact essence conjured from the skull of Azathos from the other party, and what Zhang Chen has to do now is to go to the periphery of the Prison Spirit Mountain Range to bind the spatial coordinates.

The road was unimpeded, and he came to the front of the Hell Spirit Mountain Range smoothly.

"Yu Ming...... Without this person, it would have been difficult for Azathoth to get rid of. Zhang Chen had made up his mind, and bound the spatial coordinates to the woods on the side of the Hell Spirit Mountain Range.

Zhang Chen, who had achieved his goal, did not leave here, but stopped in front of the mountain gate of the Prison Spirit Mountain Range.

"The next time is still based on the "Body Phage Heart Codex", with the real ghost body as the auxiliary. I need time and a peaceful place to comprehend the Body-Phaging Heart, and the Hellspirit Mountains seem to be a good place to be. ”

When Zhang Chen just stepped into the mountain gate, an extremely strong spatial fluctuation came from the side of his body.

"Space shattered! It's so strong! ”

Zhang Chen's arms forcibly ghosted, clasping the cracked space crack in front of him with both hands, and finally suppressed the burst point, and there was a faint pain in Zhang Chen's ten fingers.

At this moment, a pair of elderly arms were placed on Zhang Chen's shoulders, and a familiar and kind voice came: "Zhang Chen, long time no see." ”

"Wu senior!" (To be continued.) )
