Chapter 18, Remembering the Underworld
Looking at the ancient ghost tree in front of him, Qin Ye couldn't help but think back to the incident a few years ago.
At that time, he was thrown out of the sect by his own old man because he didn't want to cultivate, and at that time, Qin Ye thought that it would be okay to do this, maybe he would finally be free.
But what no one expected was that not long after Qin Ye came down the mountain, he picked up a gray token, only to see two words written on it that Qin Ye didn't know, although it was strange how the world could have words that he didn't know, but Qin Ye finally took the token and went to find a place to live.
One night after he found his residence, a gray light appeared on the token, and under this gray light, Qin Ye's entire soul was carried into the underworld by it.
What made Qin Ye even more helpless was that this incident he encountered was not accidental, but a ghost emperor in the underworld playing ghost fishing.
The so-called ghost fishing ghost is a game that a ghost emperor came up with out of boredom, the gameplay is like fishing, he uses his power to attach to something, and then uses his own power to open the space, throwing the things in his hand into a certain world, just like a human throwing a rod when fishing, after throwing the bait, just wait for the bait to be hooked.
Unfortunately, the token that Qin Ye picked up was the bait, when he saw a gray spirit laughing at him in front of him, Qin Ye was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he was like a dream, and suddenly came to a strange world from his home.
At first, Qin Ye really thought that he was dreaming, but this dream was a little too real, from the terrible guy in front of him to everything around him, it didn't seem like a dream could explain it.
Fortunately, in the end, the Ghost Emperor explained everything to Qin Ye, but the most important part was hidden, that is, the fact that Qin Ye was already a fish on the board.
Because the so-called underworld is not what human beings think, it is the belonging of the soul after death, on the contrary, the soul of human beings will only become a ghost-like existence after death, floating in their own world, and they cannot go to the underworld at all.
And the life of the underworld is completely a native species, but the underworld is like the border of the dead underworld, very barren and boring, and the ordinary ghost clan can naturally only endure all this, but the ghost emperor is different, they already have enough strength to break through this world and go to other worlds to wander deeply, but this method is very dangerous.
Because the ghost clan is a kind of underworld, when they are in the ghost world, they can still maintain their strength and original physique, but when they go to another world, they can only accept the rules of the other world, that is to say, they will obtain a body like Yu Yin, but this body is very weak, if they are not careful, they can easily fall in another world.
However, they really want to know what other worlds are like, so at this time, they will fish the souls of other worlds to the underworld like fishing for Qin Ye, and only wait for the body of this soul to die because of the soul's departure, they can devour each other's souls, so as to obtain each other's memories.
It's like catching a fish, taking it home, and then waiting for the fire to be cooked and then slowly savoring the delicious taste of the fish you caught.
And in this process, there is a very important point, that is, the body of this living soul must die before they can taste each other, just like a human must kill the fish before they can eat it after returning home from fishing.
During the period of waiting for Qin Ye's death, the Ghost Emperor began to introduce everything in the underworld to Qin Ye, including even some of the cultivation methods of the ghost clan, and Qin Ye naturally could only pay attention to the cultivation of the underworld after he found that this world was boring.
In the end, he even began to try to cultivate the exercises of the ghost clan by himself, but that kind of exercises was completely different from that of humans, because humans practiced qi and body, but what the ghost clan practiced was soul.
But even if ordinary people really give them the cultivation method of the ghost clan, almost no one can succeed in cultivating, this is the essential difference between souls, and Qin Ye was also unable to cultivate at the beginning.
But Qin Ye is not an ordinary person, since he can't cultivate directly, then he will change the cultivation method of the ghost clan to the exercises that he can cultivate.
In the face of Qin Ye's whimsical approach, the Ghost Emperor just smiled, but he didn't care, after all, ghosts have ghost paths, how could people cultivate ghost ways? What's more, just waiting for Qin Ye to die, his soul is his own, so the other party not only did not refute Qin Ye's thoughts, but opened the door to Qin Ye and told Qin Ye all the cultivation methods he knew.
But as time went by, the Ghost Emperor became more and more surprised, because Qin Ye had not shown any signs of weakness since he came to the Underworld, on the contrary, as he continued to improve his cultivation methods, the Ghost Emperor was surprised to find that Qin Ye's soul had become stronger and stronger.
That is to say, in this process, Qin Ye's body has never shown signs of death, but this is almost impossible under normal circumstances, because after a person's soul leaves the body, his body should slowly weaken in a very short period of time, even if someone is taking care of this process, it is absolutely irreversible.
It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that Qin Ye has an innate Dao body, one of the greatest uses in this anti-heaven physique, which can naturally absorb and operate spiritual power, and this ability that Qin Ye has always disliked the most saved his life at this time.
Qin Ye naturally didn't know this, until one day, he really completed his cultivation method in the ghost realm, allowing himself to break through from a weak soul to the level of a ghost soldier in a very short period of time, and the ghost emperor found that things were a bit beyond his imagination.
It's just that at that time, the other party still didn't want to give up the idea of devouring Qin Ye, because he felt an extremely delicious feeling in Qin Ye's soul, but he couldn't directly destroy Qin Ye's soul, in that case, not only would he not be able to devour Qin Ye, but on the contrary, the scattered soul would be rejected by this world, and finally return to the body with the connection of the body.
However, the soul that returns to the physical body in this way will also have defects, and generally people will completely forget the memories of the underworld, and in severe cases, it will even make people fall into a long sleep forever.
Just when Qin Ye was working hard to cultivate the soul power of the underworld, the Ghost Emperor who had summoned him happened to leave his residence for something, so Qin Ye became even more unscrupulous, and he used all the things he didn't dare to try.
Some things in the underworld that can enhance the soul were even eaten by him as candy, and because of this, Qin Ye directly broke through from the level of the ghost soldier to the level of the ghost king in just half a year.
At this time, although the Ghost Emperor returned to his territory, he was furious and found that Qin Ye's living soul not only devoured most of his collection, but also realized that Qin Ye used some of the conditions he provided to create many strange things, turning the territory that should have belonged to him into a strange place.
Things have come to this, the original Ghost Emperor has given up his plan to devour Qin Ye, and is ready to destroy his entire soul, with his ability, once Qin Ye is destroyed, even if his soul leaves the underworld, it will be a heavy blow, and even if he comes back to life, he will only become an idiot.
It's a pity that Qin Ye seems to have known the other party's thoughts for a long time, and before the Ghost Emperor can make a move, he himself borrowed the power of this world to start a big battle with the Ghost Emperor.
Originally, with Qin Ye's fifth-level strength, let alone against the Ghost Emperor, the other party's fart was enough to kill him more than a hundred times, but Qin Ye had been preparing for more than half a year, of course, it was impossible to just improve his strength.
In the process of cultivation, Qin Ye had already discovered a problem, that is, this world made up of souls was like a fantasy world, no matter what it was, as long as you had enough soul power and imagination, you could conjure them up.
And Qin Ye, as a person who has lived for a lifetime, the last thing he lacks is imagination, with the help of the Ghost Emperor's powerful soul power, you can know Qin Ye's terrible without thinking, and he used this special ability to create an invincible fortress in this world.
In the face of the terrifying power of the Ghost Emperor, Qin Ye actually relied on the fortress created by the other party's resources to beat the other party half to death, and in desperation, the Ghost Emperor and Qin Ye finally made a peace agreement, which was an agreement signed with souls, and the two parties had no way to go back on it.
In this case, the Ghost Emperor finally got back his territory, but after seeing the things Qin Ye made, he had to admit that Qin Ye was really a genius, but it was his money that this genius burned to create all this.
But relying on these, Qin Ye finally became a friend of the Ghost Emperor, but the Ghost Emperor kept asking him to return the soul power that he had consumed, and Qin Ye quietly escaped back to his own world after working hard in the underworld for half a year, so there was nothing special Qin Ye really didn't want to contact the other party.
Because that means he has to face the wrath of the other person.
And Qin Ye's experience he has never told anyone, after all, this kind of thing is said, although people in this world will believe it, but it is inevitable that the ghost things that Qin Ye has learned will be exposed, but he once signed a contract with the ghost emperor and will never teach any of the things that the ghost clan has learned to people in the outside world.
It is precisely because of this that although Qin Ye is very young now and his strength is also very weak, he has a powerful soul, otherwise Qin Ye would not have been able to comprehend so many artistic conceptions in the Qi Gathering Realm, let alone reach the level of fusing the five artistic conceptions at this time.
