Chapter 454: Ancient Secrets
The underwater cave is not straight and cannot give full play to the speed of the water escape talisman, Qin Chuan also has to guard against sudden danger, so until the monster turns into the fork of the cave, he can't catch up.
The branch's burrows were even narrower, and he had to use beetle golems to find his way back just in case.
With a "bang", the puppet was shattered, and the monster in front of it was obviously not inferior to humans, knowing what Qin Chuan was taboo about, he took the opportunity to destroy it.
Faced with this situation, Qin Chuan was very helpless, if he was on land, he would naturally not be so aggrieved.
After chasing for a while, he still didn't catch up, the terrain ahead became more and more complicated, not only did there appear three forks, one of them was downward, seeing the monster drill into the downward passage, he was vigilant in his heart, the giant monster seemed to be planning to lure the enemy deeper, and there was no ghost on the way, which was obviously not logical.
Coming to the mouth of the downward passage, the divine sense penetrates, this passage is not deep, only three or four zhang deep, below is an oval space, the width is more than five zhang, there is a headless skeleton lying on the ground, look at the length of the skeleton, several feet higher than ordinary humans, after countless years of immersion in seawater, not only is it not damaged, but the bone crystallization, exuding a slight purple light, a bit similar to the amethyst glazed treasure corpse.
The monster stood on the skeleton and found that Qin Chuan had not chased after him for a long time, and he used his divine sense to investigate, and said in his hoarse and indistinguishable voice: "Humble Terran boy, don't you dare to come down?"
Qin Chuan turned his head and left, this kind of clumsy agitation method was useless to him.
The monster apparently didn't expect him to be so decisive, and he came out of the passage again, and his long flowing hair suddenly stretched out and went around for several feet.
Qin Chuan didn't dodge or dodge, and a smile appeared on his face.
The monster was alert, but it was too late, a large net just covered him, instantly tightened, before he could struggle, the Xuanshui blade had already poked into the eye socket, this monster's eyes can emit soul-devouring evil light, naturally he has to blind his eyes first.
A Yin God escaped through the lock dragon pocket to the passage below, and the reason why it was called a Yin God instead of a Yin Soul was because the monster's Yuan Shen had condensed into an entity, out of the category of ordinary Yin Soul, which was equivalent to the Yuan Shen of a monk in the Transformation Period.
Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't let him go, in the sea full of evil qi, the body of the Yin God would soon be eroded, and it was expected that the other party would not be able to make any big waves.
However, as soon as he chased into the space below, he knew that he was a little taken for granted, the monster's yin god suddenly sank into the bones, and the bones actually sat up, not only that, but three ghost beasts came out of the bifurcated cave next to him, and one of them, a giant cancer skeleton with purple bones, also blocked the passage he entered.
"Hey, hey... Humble human, look where you're running this time!" a buzzing sound came from the abdominal cavity of the headless skeleton that had already stood.
Qin Chuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and the Xuanshui blade turned into a giant knife and slashed at the giant crab skeleton behind him with his backhand.
With a crisp sound, a cripple claw held up the giant knife, and the clawers actually only showed a few cracks, and at the same time, the two bone claws of the headless corpse had been caught, and a bone python coiled towards his legs, and a squid-like ghost creature stretched out its tentacles to cover his head.
This group of ghosts cooperates quite tacitly, if on land, Qin Chuan has many ways to deal with it, such as using the dust and sand Qingguang Hu or the turtle rope, no matter how bad it is, he can also use the puppet to rob him, but here, those means are not universal, fortunately, he is quite well prepared before entering the water, a rune treasure on his waist is activated, a giant shield phantom is blocked on his body, and at the same time, the Xuanshui blade in his hand is replaced by a soul devouring wand.
The sound of "bang bang" sounded continuously, and the phantom shield shadow was broken by the headless corpse, and the blue light mask cast by the water-repellent bead was also penetrated by the three-headed ghost, but fortunately, the defense of the fish scale armor was very good, and finally blocked this round of attacks.
With a wave of his wand, a hundred black lights shot out, originally he didn't plan to use this treasure, but the giant monster reminded him that although the water flow can greatly reduce the power of the Soul Devouring Evil Light, the power of sending it at close range is not bad, and this thing is naturally restrained against Yin Souls.
As soon as the headless corpse on the opposite side saw the black light, he knew that something was wrong, but the distance between the two sides was too close, and the impact area of the hundred black lights was vast, although he came to a difficult "King Kong Iron Plate Bridge", he was still hit by more than a dozen black lights.
The screams rang out, and the Yin God quickly escaped from the headless corpse, and the Three Treasures Miao Tree suddenly appeared, and the Yin Spirit was fixed in the air with just one sweep.
At this time, the giant crab skeleton, the bone python and the squid are frantically attacking the treasure light emitted by the fish scale armor, if you give them a dozen more breaths, maybe they can make a contribution, but unfortunately it is too late, the soul eater wand hit the squid ghost thing above, and the ghost thing was directly hit by the evil light.
Qin Chuan's left hand reached out and grabbed the neck of the bone python, twisted it vigorously, and the tibia was directly twisted off with a "Kaba".
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two clawed claws clamped at the back of Qin Chuan's head and the Soul Eater wand on his right hand respectively, this move was very clever, which could not only restrain the Soul Eater wand from hitting it, but also cause psychological pressure on Qin Chuan.
But its plan was good, but it didn't expect Qin Chuan's response to be even more wonderful.
An iron backrest leaned directly against the Cancer Skeleton, and with the blessing of the strength, the strength of this support was no less than thousands of catties, and the Cancer Skeleton's sternum was broken in half, and its body fell into the passage.
Raised his leg to kick the body of the bone python away, and then grabbed the yin god who was fixed by the three treasure wonderful trees, and the next thing was simple, and he easily solved the three-headed ghost thing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Collected the headless corpse and the head bound by the lock dragon, and then escaped into the Xuanzhu Bead, ready to search for the soul of the Yin God of the giant monster.
With Qin Chuan's cultivation, he couldn't search for souls directly, so he had to use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to extract souls and refine his soul first, and then extract his memory.
The whole process lasted about half a day, and he was shocked by the information he received.
About sixty or seventy thousand years ago, when the Blue Rain Great World underwent a mutation, a certain spatial node between the underworld and this world was unexpectedly broken, and countless alien races from the underworld poured into this great world.
The chaotic Heavenly Dao has given these foreign visitors an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they intend to enslave this great world.
At that time, the Blue Rain World, the human race had just emerged, and it was the demon spirits who dominated the big world, and at first those demon spirits were fighting for territory, ignoring the invasion of foreign aliens, but when they reacted, the Hanhai Continent and the companion areas of other continents had been occupied.
When the head stick was drunk, the demon spirit at that time came to his senses, so he organized several counterattacks, but with the influx of more and more masters from the underworld, the situation was not optimistic.
The war lasted for a thousand years, and the Heavenly Dao finally became stable, and the passage connecting the two worlds could no longer be maintained, coupled with the fact that cultivators who cultivated higher than the level of the gods were rejected by the Heavenly Dao, the local demon spirits finally gained the upper hand.
After that, when the time came for Armageddon, there were no more reinforcements from the underworld, and the high-level cultivators could not participate in the battle, and finally the native cultivators won a decisive victory.
The sea area near Skull Island is the place where the original decisive battle was held, it can be said that without that shocking war, there would be no Skull Island now, think about it, what kind of tragic war should it be to make the terrain of a sea area change drastically? And this island is actually a huge "tomb", burying millions of underworld and native cultivators.
Due to the excessive amount of yin and evil qi in this place, and the cultivation of cultivators in the underworld is not ordinary spiritual power, after tens of thousands of years, a large yin vein has been formed on Skull Island, and the living beings in the nearby sea area are infected by the yin qi after death, and eventually become ghosts.
The Yin God who was captured by Qin Chuan is named "Halibo", a member of the "Giant Skull Clan" in the underworld, he was also one of the people who were killed, but he did not have a soul, in fact, there are many races in the underworld that do not pay attention to the physical body, and even many of them are acquired condensed Yin bodies, which are somewhat similar to the existence of ghost cultivation.
This group of buried people, after a period of recuperation, made a comeback, but they were greeted not by the slaughter of local cultivators, but by the ruthless strangulation of the Heavenly Dao, and the thunder punishment alone made most of the returning underworld cultivators completely fall, and those who survived used all their methods to avoid the punishment of heaven.
Among them, there is a leader, known as the "Great Wheel Hades King", who has set up a "Great Array of Hidden Souls and Hidden Souls from the Sea and Hidden Seas" around Skull Mountain to provide shelter for the survivors.
Halibo is one of the survivors, but he was severely injured in the heavenly punishment, and only the remnant soul lived in the natal magic weapon, but because he had been sleeping for too long, he actually merged with the natal magic weapon, and his natal magic weapon was a soul devouring bead refined with soul devouring wood, so when facing Qin Chuan, he could play the soul devouring evil light, and it was also the fundamental reason why he could survive for a long time.
What really shocked Qin Chuan was not these, the scattered information obtained from the soul search, the Falling Demon Abyss of the Black Mist Forest was actually where the spatial junction of the two realms was located back then, and it was also the base where the cultivators of the underworld had been stationed for a long time.
This can't help but make people think, why did the Hades Sect send people to set up a garrison here back then? Who laid down the super prohibition of the Falling Demon Abyss? It's a pity that most of Halibo's memories have disappeared, and Qin Chuan can only get so much information.
In addition, after Haribo woke up, he did not dare to leave Skull Mountain, and he also tried to find his companion, but unfortunately he did not find his companion, but he encountered many powerful beings, so he could only retreat into his territory.
After digesting this information, Qin Chuan hesitated, there are nearly six hundred zhang from Skull Mountain down to the bottom of the sea, and the coverage area is thousands of miles wide, not to mention how to deal with those powerful ghosts, even if you run around one cave after another, it is not possible to do it in a short time.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and thought of a guy with a similar fate to Haribo, and raised his hand to take out the Qibao Soul Lamp, "Hun Tian Old Demon, let me ask you something?"
A phantom of an old man who seemed to be in a state of confusion emerged.
"You built the Skull Gate on Skull Island back then, you must have investigated the surrounding environment, right?"
"I don't remember exactly!"
"Since you don't know anything, it's useless to keep this broken lamp, it's a mess!" Qin Chuan took out a hammer and smashed it at the soul lamp.
"Ahh Wait!"
"Hmph, I don't leave any waste here!" Since he got this broken spirit treasure, it hasn't played a big role, every time he asks the old devil for news, the other party always uses the memory disappearing or too long as the reason, which makes his patience gradually lost, and now this temptation, the old guy is really pretending.
"Let me think, ah... I remembered that I had been surveying the area around Skull Island!"
"Since you like pretending so much, I won't ask!" said he raised the hammer again.
"Don't... Don't smash it, I know that there is a Hades Palace under Skull Mountain, and there may be the inheritance of the Great Wheel Hades there!"
"The Great Wheel Hades?" "Not long ago, Soul Sou had just learned this name, and now that he heard it again, it made him have some associations, "What is the relationship between this Great Wheel Hades and the Hades Sect?"
The remnant soul of the Heavenly Demon Venerable, looking at the hammer dangling in front of his eyes, he knew that he couldn't pretend to be able to do it anyway, so he had to tell the truth obediently," When I was an elder in the Hades Sect, I was fortunate enough to enter the seventh floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and I learned from the codex of the second generation of the Sect of the Hades that the founding patriarch of the Hades Sect may be the doppelganger of the Great Wheel Hades who came to this world from the underworld, and then I learned some secrets by chance, and determined that there was indeed a connection between the patriarch of the Kai Sect and the Great Wheel Hades, so I came to the Hanhai Continent to explore, and finally found the ancient battlefield of Skull Island!"
"Well, could it be that you started a sect on Skull Island and have something to do with this battlefield?"
"Exactly, I have explored the caves of Skull Mountain several times, and I have also fought with many high-level ghost cultivators, and later I even borrowed the Seven Treasure Dementor Lamp from the sect, so that I was able to sweep those ghosts and reach the core area of the entire Skull Mountain..."
"You said you borrowed this Seven Treasures Soul Lamp?"
"Well... I stole it from the treasure house of the Qi clan, and the old man was expelled from the sect because of this incident!"
"No, how did I hear that you were wanted by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance because you used millions of living beings to sacrifice Shura Banner, so you were expelled from the sect!"
"That's just an external statement, I do have a sacrifice to practice the Shura Flag, but using a million living beings to sacrifice and refine that is nonsense, even if I am not afraid of being punished by heaven, I have to have a million living beings for me to kill!"
Qin Chuan thought about it, this statement was indeed a bit unreliable, "Don't talk about this, you continue to say what you found under Skull Mountain!"
"I found a Lingbao Immortal Mansion!"
"Is that the Hades Palace you just mentioned?"
"Exactly!"
"Well, what happened later?"
"Later, I tried to enter the Immortal Mansion, but unfortunately the Immortal Mansion was closed, and after several attempts to no avail, I had to choose to use the strong, and as a result, the instrument spirit of the Hades Palace appeared, and it told me that as long as I obtained the token left by the Great Wheel Hades, not only could I get the inheritance of the Hades, but this Lingbao Immortal Mansion would also recognize the Lord, so I opened a sect on Skull Island, hoping to find the whereabouts of the token with the help of the power of the sect!"
"Oh, what's that token?"
"It's the Immortal Iron Ticket!"
"Hades, did you find this later?"
"No, but I found some clues about the last appearance of the Great Wheel Hades, he had been to the Vientiane Demon Tomb and the extreme north region of the Hanhai Continent 30,000 years ago, I followed the clues to the northern ice field to check, and I was very unlucky to meet the Dragon Slayer Venerable, and it turned out to be like this!"
"Does that Great Wheel Hades dare to walk freely in this big world? Isn't he afraid of heavenly punishment?"
"I also asked the spirit of the Hades Palace, according to it, the Great Wheel Hades has successfully passed the heavenly punishment and cultivated to be close to the legendary Mahayana realm!"
"If his cultivation really reaches that level, he is indeed not afraid of heavenly punishment, by the way, last time I asked you about the jade talisman, you should know where it is used, right?"
