Chapter 178: Old Ghost, Times Have Changed!
Shen Yuan looked stunned, and couldn't help but have a little doubt in his eyes.
That scarlet eye full of oppression undoubtedly came from the Lord of the Northern Mountain, and the words full of shock were naturally said by the first ghost fairy in the world.
But what Shen Yuan was certain of was that he had not met this Lord of the Northern Mountain, and there was no intersection between the two sides.
But the expression and words of the Lord of the North Mountain did not seem to be fake, the two were only meeting for the first time, and this first ghost immortal in the world would not use this little trick to mislead Shen Yuan.
"Then there is only one truth that can exist.
It is very likely that what the Lord of the North Mountain has seen is not the me I am now, but the me who traveled back to time thousands of years ago! ”
Shen Yuan immediately realized this, his pupils shrank imperceptibly, and then forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart to show a calm posture.
He didn't answer the words of the Lord of the North Mountain, because the real contact with the Lord of the North Mountain was the future him, and saying anything wrong now might attract the suspicion of the Lord of the North Mountain, so he simply did not make any positive response
There was still a calm indifference on his face, and Shen Yuan said in a deep voice:
"You've crossed the line."
In the Ancient Forbidden Land, the fog in the sky had already dissipated with the departure of the Ghost King.
In the valley of corpses, a special space outside the present world looms.
It was a desolate space, like a huge mass grave, and hundreds of millions of graves took up the entire space as far as the eye could see.
This is the place where countless ancient souls dwell, and it is also the tomb of the last emperor of the Great Xuan, a real forbidden place of ancient times.
As early as when the aura of the Xuanhuang Realm was cut off, countless souls trapped in the Ancient Forbidden Land forcibly opened up a special blessed land in the end of the Dharma era with the help of the Emperor's resentment with infinite power in order to save themselves.
This space uses the desolate forbidden land in the present world as an anchor point, banishing itself from the endless void to avoid the impact of the collapse of rules caused by the depletion of heaven and earth's spiritual energy.
The blessed land created by this side with the power of the dead soul has become the only life-saving straw in the ancient forbidden land.
But even with such a special blessed land as support, the vast majority of the undead souls in the Ancient Forbidden Land still couldn't survive the long period of spiritual energy depletion and fell.
Even the curse that the Great Xuan Ren Emperor's resentment had turned into before his death dissipated in the long wash.
And in the center of this desolate ancient blessed land, a middle-aged man in a black robe with a gloomy temperament looked ugly at the moment.
He is the lord of Beibi Mountain, and he is also the only remaining ghost immortal in this ancient blessed land.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Shen Yuan, and his eyes were cloudy.
As the ruler of Beibi Mountain and the first ghost immortal in the world, the lord of Beibi Mountain has also been in charge of a complete blessed land.
However, in the first depletion of spiritual energy, the blessed land of Beibi Mountain collapsed directly, and many strong people under his command fell in the catastrophe of the collapse of the blessed land.
The terrifying threat brought by the depletion of spiritual energy was unbearable, and the lord of the northern mountain was desperate, so he could only lead the surviving ghosts under his command into the ancient forbidden land.
He found that the curse that once cursed and killed immortals had disappeared in the Forbidden Land, and found a spatial anchor point in the valley, so that he could find the Blessed Land of the Ancient Immortals to survive.
After successfully surviving the period of depletion of spiritual energy, the Lord of Beibi Mountain thought that he would be able to return to the present world to dominate the ghost of Beibi Mountain, but the suppression of the Ten Palaces Yama Great Array confined him to the Ancient Forbidden Land.
Regardless of the vicissitudes of life, the next round of spiritual energy depletion will come, and the Lord of the North Mountain will still not be able to get out, and can only be forcibly trapped in the Ancient Forbidden Land.
In the second period of spiritual energy depletion, the Lord of the Northern Mountains finally sensed a crisis that he had never felt before.
Although the Ancient Blessed Land was created by the souls of the ancients, its essence is a blessed land after all, and a lot of resources must be spent to maintain the stability of the blessed land during the period of depletion of spiritual energy.
Not only the blessed land, but also the ten major cave heaven holy lands and the thirty-six cave heavens, all of which require massive resources.
The Lord of the Northern Mountains has been trapped in the Ancient Forbidden Land and cannot leave, and he can't find any resources to maintain the stability of the Ancient Blessed Land.
Eventually, in the Second Age of Spiritual Qi Depletion, the Lord of the Northern Mountains chose to dig up those ancient souls from the graves of the Ancient Blessed Land and sacrifice them as nourishment to the blessed land to maintain stability.
Relying on digging graves, the Lord of the Northern Mountains barely survived the second period of spiritual energy exhaustion.
Aware of the dangers in the Ancient Forbidden Land, the Lord of the Northern Mountains began to seek a ray of life, and he enchanted the human ghosts near the Ancient Forbidden Land for him to drive, collecting resources for him to maintain the stability of the Ancient Blessed Land.
And the Lord of the Northern Mountain also began to look for a way to crack the Ten Halls Yama Great Array from various channels.
In an accident, a ghost king bewitched by the lord of the northern mountain got in touch with the ghost general of the underworld, and found the reincarnation king behind the ghost general who wanted to intervene in the affairs of the world, and reached a contract with the reincarnation king with a treasure on his body.
It's just that before the Reincarnation King fulfilled his promise and united several other Yamas to unlock the Ten Halls Yama Great Array, the period of spiritual energy depletion had already arrived, and the Lord of the Northern Mountain had severed contact with the Reincarnation King.
In the third period of spiritual energy depletion, in order to stabilize the ancient blessed land and protect himself, the lord of the northern mountain not only sacrificed all the ancient souls of the ancient forbidden land, but finally sacrificed several ghost immortals and great ghost kings under his command, leaving only the ghost king who was connected with the reincarnation king.
After the revival of the aura tide, the Lord of the North Mountain also used the back hand left three thousand years ago to extract the spirit essence in the North Mountain for restoration.
Until some time ago, the Lord of the Northern Mountains had a premonition that the rules of heaven and earth would be further revived, and there would be some flaws in the process of the change of rules in the Ten Halls Yama Great Array.
As long as you grasp the right time, you can let the Ghost King escape from the Forbidden Land and go to the outside world to contact the Wheel King.
And he can also use the spread of the ghost snake to drop a part of his power in the northern mountain.
Under the temptation of the Lord of the Northern Mountain to deliberately reveal that he could not make a move against ordinary people in the forbidden land, the family behind those dead cultivators sent an exploration team.
Just a little provocative can cause humans to kill each other, and then let the ghost king secretly escape and spread the ghosts.
All these plans are so perfect, it is not surprising that in two days, he will be able to lower part of his strength to suppress the ghosts of Beibi Mountain, and within a few months, the Great Array of the Ten Halls of Yama will be unlocked, and the name of the first ghost immortal will once again resound in the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, this perfect plan was ruined by a man who had been in contact with him for thousands of years.
Recalling that the young man in white clothes like a fairy and the figure of the young man in front of him overlapped with each other thousands of years ago, the eyes of the Lord of Beibi Mountain became more and more gloomy, and he also felt a deep uneasiness in his heart.
"Ten thousand years have passed, why did he appear here, and not be suppressed by any heaven and earth backlash?"
"Is he really here to fulfill that sentence ten thousand years ago?"
The uneasiness in his heart gradually turned into a trace of fear, but the Lord of the Northern Mountain knew very well that he must not show any cowardice in front of Shen Yuan, and his majestic and deep voice was transmitted from the inside of the Ancient Blessed Land to the outside world.
"Out of bounds? The North Mountains are my territory.
You killed the ghost king under my command and forcibly took my ghost dragon, you should really cross the line! ”
Shen Yuan just smiled coldly:
"Don't digress, you should know exactly what I mean by transgression.
Colluding with Yama to disturb the balance of the present world, you are known as the first ghost immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm, how can you be willing to be a dog to a Yama? ”
When the Lord of the Northern Mountains heard this, the Yin Owl's expression instantly turned into rage.
Since he became the number one ghost immortal in the world, it was the first time that anyone dared to talk to him like this.
Thinking about it thousands of years ago, he used the autopsy magic power to ascend to the fairy land to achieve ghosts and immortals, and used the method of autopsy to help several strong people who had exhausted their yang life to transform into ghosts and immortals, and then established the Beibi Mountain Ghost Dragon.
At its peak, there were eight ghost immortals in the Beibi Mountain, and there were countless ghost kings under his command, even if it was Yin Si, he needed to avoid him for three points.
If it weren't for the Xuanhuang Realm's Heaven and Earth Connection, the reincarnation of the Spiritual Qi Depletion Period had destroyed everything, and he would even be confident that he would be able to become a ghost path powerhouse on an equal footing with the Ten Palaces of Yama.
Shen Yuan's words undoubtedly hit his pain point.
In the face of Shen Yuan's ridicule, the Lord of the Northern Mountain took a deep breath, and naturally not to be outdone, sneered and said:
"Seeing that you were able to avoid the Heaven and Earth Rebellion and appear here, I thought you had some special means, and I was almost deceived by you.
If you can maintain the peak strength of ten thousand years ago, with your temper, I am afraid that you would have already entered the Ancient Forbidden Land, instead of standing outside the Ancient Forbidden Land and making mockery. ”
"The fact that you are able to appear here in disregard of the Heaven and Earth Rebellion proves that you have not displayed a realm that exceeds the limits of the rules of Heaven and Earth, and at best you are only a realm of transforming into a god.
With such a cultivation, as long as you dare to step into the Ancient Forbidden Land, I can easily crush you with one finger. ”
Shen Yuan's pupils twitched slightly, and a hint of joy rose in his eyes.
Although the words of the Lord of the Northern Mountains did not show weakness, Shen Yuan could still hear a little bit of the taste of being strong and dry from it.
This is enough to show that the lord of the northern mountain is indeed scruples about him.
But at this moment, how could Shen Yuan not care about the strength of the Lord of the Northern Mountain?
Shen Yuan couldn't be sure how much strength the Lord of the Northern Mountains could exert in the Ancient Forbidden Land.
If it is a real person refining a god or even a real person, Shen Yuan may not be able to use his hole cards to compete with it.
But if the Lord of the Northern Mountains retained the strength of the Refining Void True Monarch, Shen Yuan would definitely be defeated when he stepped into it, after all, there was no Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda to borrow from him.
Before this desolate forbidden land, the atmosphere actually fell into a strange stalemate at this moment.
The ghost immortals in the Ancient Forbidden Land were afraid that Shen Yuan would show a means to surpass the limits of the current world, and Shen Yuan outside the Ancient Forbidden Land was also worried about the hole cards of the ghost immortals.
After a short stalemate, Shen Yuan took the initiative to look at Xue Mingzhi behind him, and the divine sense transmission transmitted a message to Xue Mingzhi.
Xue Mingzhi looked stunned, but he still nodded respectfully to Shen Yuan, stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Jiang on the side, and flew away from Beibi Mountain.
Before the forbidden land, Shen Yuan calmed down, looked at the scarlet eyes and said:
"Old ghost, I know very well that you are not in a good state at this time, otherwise you would not want to conspire with the Ten Palaces Yama.
But don't forget that you are just ghosts after all, and they are the Yamas who govern the underworld.
When you take out what they want, they will not hesitate to kill you, leaving you with no chance of being reborn, after all, this is the only way to protect the secrets that involve the authority of the underworld. ”
The Lord of the North Mountain looked moved, and couldn't help but look at an inconspicuous tomb in this desolate ancient blessed land.
What Shen Yuan said was indeed right, the ghosts traded with Yama, just as ridiculous as humans claiming to sell food to tigers.
The Ten Palaces Yama has a natural restraint on ghosts, if he can still use the ghosts and immortals under his command to fight against one or two with the autopsy supernatural powers at his peak, but at the moment, he is in a weak state after several spiritual energy depletion periods, and he is powerless to fight against the Ten Palaces Yama.
But the Lord of the Northern Mountains also knew very well that this was his only choice at the moment, and only then would he have a chance to escape from the Forbidden Land and escape from this narrow tomb.
The Lord of the Northern Mountains fell silent, and Shen Yuan, who was outside the forbidden land, continued to speak:
"I can give you a chance, a chance to live."
The eyes of the Lord of the Northern Mountains suddenly burst into a burst of light, but he knew very well that there was absolutely no free lunch in the world, so he asked in a deep voice:
"What do you want?"
"Hand over the thing you traded with the Ten Temples Yama, and I can guarantee your safety.
If you can surrender your soul, I can help you free yourself from the confines of the Ancient Forbidden Land. ”
As soon as the words fell, the fierce voice of the Lord of the Northern Mountains sounded at this time.
"Wishful thinking!"
"You don't even dare to set foot in the Ancient Forbidden Land now, and you dare to say that you will guarantee my safety?
It is even more nonsense to hand over the soul of life, if the soul falls into your hands, I will be subject to you in this life and will never be able to get out of the shackles, you are a desperate fool when I can't do it? ”
The coercion on the Lord of the Northern Mountains slowly rose, and the countless tombs in the Ancient Blessed Land trembled, and at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the era when he dominated billions of ghosts thousands of years ago.
Scarlet eyes looked directly at Shen Yuan, and his high voice said without hesitation:
"It's in my hands, if you want it, just take it!"
Seeing this, Shen Yuan just smiled and asked softly:
"It's really hard for me to step directly into the Ancient Forbidden Land to face you head-on, but the Ancient Forbidden Land is not without its flaws.
In the Ancient Forbidden Land, you can't make a move against ordinary people, I just need to send ordinary people into the Ancient Forbidden Land and completely destroy everything in the Ancient Forbidden Land.
When the time comes, will you be able to continue to survive? ”
The pupils of the Lord of the Northern Mountains suddenly contracted, but then he laughed loudly:
"Let ordinary people destroy the Forbidden Land?
The Ancient Forbidden Land has lost its natural supernatural power, but the valley where it is located occupies a radius of several miles, and the mountains and rocks are extremely hard.
Even if thousands of ordinary people fill the entire valley day and night, it will take years to destroy, and any talisman or magic weapon used during this period will be destroyed by me.
Within a few months, the Reincarnation King will inevitably send an envoy to find me, and in such a short period of time, without the help of talismans and magic weapons, ordinary people will definitely not be able to destroy the Ancient Forbidden Land! ”
"Oh, really?"
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled.
Then, he turned and looked in the direction of the mountain.
At this time, several hours had passed since Xue Mingzhi descended the mountain, and a round of rising sunrise in the distance slowly rose into the sky, bringing a trace of warmth to this desolate mountain.
And at the end of the sun, small black dots were rapidly approaching in the direction of the Ancient Forbidden Land.
A few minutes later, the black dots had turned into behemoths, and they were a military helicopter flying in the air.
Underneath the helicopter, there is a huge mountain construction machine, this special military construction machine, no matter how hard the mountain will be easily destroyed.
Shen Yuan turned his head and chuckled softly into the Ancient Forbidden Land:
"Old ghost, times have changed!"
