Chapter 180: Ghost Qi

To cultivate ghost skills, ghost cultivators need to devour the aura of heaven and earth or the dantian of the cultivator, and release the ghost qi. As long as the ghost dantian is still there, you can practice the ghost skill and live forever in the earth star where the Taitian Continent is located.

Ghost cultivators devour the aura of heaven and earth, mainly sucking the aura of spirit stones and elixirs, and spiritual materials or magic weapons are useless to them. They also can't use magic weapons and runes against the enemy.

In addition to the fact that ghost cultivators like to kill monks and directly break their dantian and suck them, it is also because ghost cultivators will release ghost qi after practicing.

Oni is the nemesis of Reiki. Reiki is growth, ghost energy is decay, aura is purity, ghost energy is impurities, aura is freshness, and ghost energy is dirty rot.

Ghost energy can be integrated into the aura, making the purity of the aura worse and the effect of converting into spiritual power worse. If left unchecked, the ghost energy will slowly erode the aura, making the aura become weaker and weaker, and the ghost qi will become more and more intense.

The aura is like the ice and snow spring at the source of the river in the mortal world, and the ghost qi is like the rotten and poisonous things poured into the river. Once the rot accumulates enough, the river becomes a dead river, and even if it does not become a dead river, the rot is always looking for opportunities to poison the creatures in the river.

Ghost cultivators devour aura, release ghost qi, and maintain the existence of ghosts, but they can't soar, they can only survive in the world.

Therefore, if you don't kill the ghost cultivators, there will be more and more ghost cultivators, more and more ghost qi, less and less spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy environment of the cultivators will continue to deteriorate.

What's more, wherever the ghost aura is rampant, although mortals can't detect it, their health and longevity will have obvious reactions.

In these places, there are many infirm and sick people, and there are many strange diseases, which cannot be diagnosed and treated. There are many infertile women, fetuses are aborted, babies are dead, and strange shapes are present.

In these places, the vegetation is sluggish, the vitality is cut off, the sky is gray and foggy, and the vision is not clear. Mortal scholars, Buddhist and Taoist people who are good at looking forward to qi, and even Langzhong, often refer to the abnormalities of these places or people as evil spirits, but there is no way to eliminate diseases for the people and dispel evil spirits for villages and towns.

Mortals are the source of immortal cultivators, and the monks are naturally aware of the harm of ghost qi to mortals. For the sake of the cultivation environment of the sect, and for the sake of the descendants of the secular mortal world to have a bright future, immortal cultivators naturally hold the attitude of eliminating evil and killing quickly, and never forget to eradicate ghost cultivation.

Therefore, the information that Huatian Sect Fengtang paid attention to listed the information of ghost cultivation as first-class A. Yuntang and Diantang also listed the action of eradicating ghost cultivation as first-class A, paying special attention to it and going all out.

The aura of the Taitian Continent is already unbalanced, and the top-level cultivators who have ascended to other star realms will always continue to take away some top-level spiritual objects, and after hundreds of thousands of years, the number is amazing, which has become an important reason why the aura is getting thinner and thinner.

And the existence of ghost cultivators has exacerbated this imbalance, causing greater consequences to the aura resources of the earth star than the ascension of monks.

Unlike ghost cultivators who only devour aura, the aura absorbed by cultivators is balanced and unchanged within the earth star.

After the cultivator absorbs the spiritual energy, it is transformed into spiritual power in the dantian in his body.

After death, if it is killed during a fight, for example, if it is turned into ashes by a fire spell, the spiritual power will fly into the air and still exist in the heaven and earth of the earth and stars.

If it is naturally sitting, the spiritual power of the dantian will also fly into the air with the passage of time, and remain in the sky and earth for eternity.

Except for the top-level monks who have ascended to other star realms after turning into gods, all the earth star monks, who will be attracted by the spiritual power absorbed in the core of the earth star, and they will not be able to take away the spiritual energy, but just let the spiritual energy be transformed everywhere differently.

Only the ghost cultivator, whose devouring power comes from the alien Huangquan Star, which is a planet occupied by alien ghost cultivators.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were several ghost cultivators of the Huangquan Star, because of chance, they were mistakenly transmitted to the Earth Star by the power of spatial teleportation, bringing ghost energy.

Later, the ghost cultivators discovered that the ghost qi could restrain the spiritual power of the earth star and spread the devouring power of the ghost qi. Since then, the ghost qi has been like a plague, gradually eroding the aura of the earth star, weakening its spiritual power.

In the eyes of the Earth Star Monk, it is still normal for the top-level Monk to take away the Earth Star Aura to other star realms after ascending.

After all, after the aura reaches other star boundaries, it still exists, benefiting the monks of other star boundaries. In other astral boundaries, there are also occasional monks, who come to the earth star by random fate and bring back a small number of spiritual objects, which can be regarded as a slight compensation.

However, ghost cultivation hurts the heavens and harms reason, only destroys but does not create, and creates evil descendants, but it is not tolerated by the earth star monks.

Zhu Yong began to continue to narrate, he took out a black jade plate, and explained that this was the jade plate in the storage ring left by the ghost cultivator.

After investigation, this is the ghost search card commonly used by ghost cultivators.

Ghost cultivators are group cultivators, even if they are originally lonely ghosts, as long as they find traces of other ghost cultivators, he will catch up and join them.

When ghost cultivators go out to look for spiritual grass or rob and kill monks, they often form a team, disperse, and search in a dragnet style, and once they find movement, they contact each other and besiege them in groups.

Of course, there are also ghost cultivators who want to eat alone in secret, and when they see the cultivators alone, they think they can swallow it, and they do it alone, and they don't send out the sound transmission technique to summon the same team of ghost cultivators.

It is estimated that the ghost cultivator who was seriously injured and died this time was such a ghost cultivator who wanted to eat alone, but he was seriously injured and died, and his ghost clan could no longer find him.

This ghost search card is a jade card that searches and confirms the location of the ghost cultivators of the same clan.

After the ghost cultivator uses his divine sense to detect the location of the same door shown in the jade tablet, he can send out a thousand-mile sound transmission technique and contact the same door.

Ghost cultivators don't know how to make talismans, and they can't use the cultivation runes commonly used by other monks, so they rely on this kind of ghost search card to find, locate and transmit sounds.

Ghost cultivators who live in groups, as long as there are enough people, will form a clan of their own, and they have nothing to do with their blood relationship during their lifetime. When a lonely ghost encounters a ghost clan, he will apply to join, and the ghost clan will not refuse to come, one more ghost, one more ghost, and the strength of the ghost clan will be stronger.

The ghost clan will not easily change the place where the group lives, unless they find a better place to cultivate when they are out to rob and kill, and when they are more sure, they will move the clan.

Of course, between the ghost clans, it is not a monolith, different ghost clans meet, no one obeys anyone, and the struggle for the spiritual vein or the captured monks, and the annexation of the weak ghost clan also happens from time to time. Where there are ghosts, there are rivers and lakes.

The ghost skills of ghost cultivation are generally cultivated after death, after all, there are not many people who are willing to stop being human and become ghosts before they die.

However, among some cultivators who have no hope of advancement, as they get older and fear of death, there are always some people who can't think about it and are unwilling to start cultivating ghost skills in secret.

The advantage of cultivating ghost skills before death is that once it is cultivated, the cultivation before death can be directly brought into the ghost skeleton.

If you did not practice ghost skills during your lifetime, and then practice ghost skills after death, the success rate of transferring skills is not high, and even if you succeed in turning skills, you will at most transfer to a lower-level cultivation.

For example, a monk in the early stage of foundation building who did not practice ghost skills before his death, after death, if a wisp of remnant soul is not extinguished, the skeleton of the flesh is still there, and the remnant soul can just find the spirit stone or the nearby spiritual vein near his life, and he is unwilling in this life, his wish is not fulfilled, and he is unwilling to fall into reincarnation and be reincarnated, he can borrow the corpse to return the soul, use the skeleton as the dharma body, and start to practice the ghost skill in the early stage of qi refining.

And the monks who have practiced ghost skills before their deaths, as long as they cultivate to the early stage of foundation building, they will still be ghost cultivators in the early stage of foundation building after returning their souls.

Of course, a monk who cultivated ghost skills during his lifetime would hide his cultivation and only reveal the monk's other cultivations.

When everyone heard this, they naturally understood Zhu Yong's intentions.

This ghost search card, falling into the hands of the cultivator, is to track the treasure of the ghost clan where the ghost cultivator is. In the vast snowfields of Mengyuan Prefecture, the ghost clan hidden underground, as long as there has been no major relocation of the clan in the past few hundred years, they will not be too far away from the place where this ghost cultivator died.

Under normal circumstances, even if the ghost cultivator is killed, he will try his best to use mana to directly crush the ghost search card before he falls.

But that ghost cultivator was caught off guard in the big battle, and was seriously injured by the mana of the violent bombing, and he didn't have enough mana to destroy the jade plate.

There are three major ghost races living in the Xia Kingdom Xiuzhen Realm, one is the underground of the snow and ice fields of Mengyuan Prefecture, one is the famous ghost island in the East China Sea, and the other is the underground of the Western Desert. The ice field and snow field of Guanliao Prefecture are rich in spiritual veins, and it was originally a good place for ghosts to cultivate and live in groups, but the Guanghan Palace is nearby to guard, and the ghosts are easy to find, and now it is difficult to find ghost traces.
