36: Chapter 35 Mysterious Power, Ghost Realm

"Nothing here?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. His eyesight had long since evolved to a terrifying degree.

Not to mention night vision, even at night, seeing insects ten miles away was a common occurrence for him.

Blood Qi erupted.

Blood Qi surged against the dark space.

With a crack, the darkness shattered, revealing the brilliant galaxy outside.

"Wow, you actually got dragged into a Ghost Domain just like an ordinary person. That's so pathetic."

Xing Mu sat outside her tent, complaining about Ye Xiu, who had just returned.

"Ghost Domain?"

A cold, sharp glint appeared in Ye Xiu's eyes. To think such a ghostly thing existed in Tianfu.

"So annoying. I just wanted to have a good time for a few days, and then this happens." Xing Mu felt unhappy—the displeasure of being disturbed.

"Do you know what these Ghost race beings are?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I know a little."

"Are you sure it's just a little?"

Ye Xiu was skeptical; the memories Xing Mu had awakened seemed to have increased significantly.

"Are you questioning this Palace?"

Xing Mu frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

...

"In ancient times, there was a major event where eerie calamities plagued the heavens. The Blade Master personally handled it back then. It should be similar to what we've encountered, though the level of eerie power here is too low."

"An eerie event capable of alarming someone at the level of the Blade Master..."

"Don't underestimate these eerie things. These ghostly entities might involve many ancient taboos. Never try to trace their Origin; after all, even the Imperial Court only managed to suppress them back then, not completely wipe them out."

Facing Xing Mu's kind reminder, Ye Xiu said nothing.

After scanning the area, he discovered that everyone on the small hill had vanished, which caused him to frown slightly.

"Can these ghostly things be killed?"

"For this Rank of eerie, killing them is useless. They will still revive at the source."

"So there's no other way?"

Ye Xiu's frown deepened.

Xing Mu thought for a moment before saying: "By borrowing the power of heaven and earth, you can suppress and Seal these ghosts. Those Daoist Sects in your new era seem to have techniques for this."

"Daoist Sects..."

Ye Xiu sighed inwardly.

The Great Xia God-Making Project—anyone with a discerning eye could see it was a plan decided upon to keep the Daoist Sects in check.

Are eerie things only suppressible by Daoist Sects? He felt somewhat helpless.

Looking at Xing Mu, who wore an expression of 'none of my business,' Ye Xiu coughed lightly and asked: "Is there any other way to deal with the eerie things here?"

"For this level of eerie, since you are already at the God-One Realm, you can just use your blood Qi to burn them." Xing Mu did not hide the method.

Ye Xiu nodded.

Blood Qi erupted, and a red blood light shot into the sky instantly.

The eerie red light, like a blood-colored pillar connecting heaven and earth, illuminated the entire city of Tianfu under the night sky.

...

Everyone in the city was shocked, not knowing what had happened.

At the Qingcang Daoist Sect, Master Zhang looked at the heaven-piercing blood light in the inner city.

Stroking his white beard, he chuckled to the seven Disciples who had come to his side: "The growth speed of this little guy is truly astonishing. You don't need to worry about it."

The seven Elders nodded, watching the blood light with solemn expressions.

The pressure within that blood light was too strong. Even Elder Song, who had broken into the Void Imperial Realm, felt an immense oppressive force from it.

On the ordinary hills outside the Sect, countless Qingcang Daoist Sect Disciples were terrified.

Most of them had only awakened their Spiritual Root after the revival of heaven and earth. It was only after coming into contact with the path of immortality that they realized what a dimensional gap was.

Compared to them, ordinary Martial Practitioners were worlds apart.

Seeing the heaven-piercing blood light in the inner city, everyone thought a large-scale eerie event had broken out. After all, they had dealt with many such events over the past few months.

But the blood light was simply too shocking.

Without arrangements from the Sect Elders, they dared not rashly go over to check and could only watch in fear.

The military department, which had already begun arranging troops, also chose to sit and watch the development of this event under the interference of Sikong Tianwen, without deploying military forces.

...

Xing Mu looked at the heaven-piercing blood light and shook her head slightly.

"This is useless. You need to learn to condense your blood Qi into a single point."

After complaining, she began to teach him how to control his blood Qi and condense it into a weapon.

As Xing Mu explained, many flashes of insight appeared in Ye Xiu's eyes. He controlled his own blood Qi, turning it into a crescent blade, like the Blade Master's Heavenly Blade, and held it in his hand.

Instantly, the blood-colored light illuminating Tianfu vanished.

"Now, slash at the place where the space feels different, and you will be able to attack the Ghost Domain." Xing Mu continued to direct him.

Ye Xiu didn't waste words.

After his Qi sense erupted and he carefully sensed for a moment, the blood-colored crescent blade slashed directly at the space nearby.

Crack...

The space cracked slightly. Inside the crack, it was pitch black, and a cold, eerie power seemed to be emanating from it.

"Wait here for me."

Ye Xiu said to Xing Mu, then, carrying the blood-colored crescent blade, charged directly into the crack.

"This Palace still wants to watch the galaxy."

Xing Mu didn't even look back, continuing to gaze up at the starry sky, watching the brilliant new stars.

Inside the Ghost Domain, the appearance was almost identical to the small hill. Many people who had come to camp were trapped here. The ghost-eating-human events that had occurred within the last ten minutes had caused them all to huddle together, fearing that if they were left alone, they would be taken by ghosts.

Even though many had decent martial prowess, in front of the eerie, ordinary Martial Artists were simply too weak.

After entering, Ye Xiu immediately jammed the blood-colored crescent blade into the breach of the Ghost Domain.

Looking at the terrified crowd in the distance, he couldn't be bothered to waste words and said directly: "An eerie event has occurred here. The exit has been opened. Now, leave in an orderly fashion."

As he spoke, his blood Qi turned into a barrier, directly enveloping the crowd.

"Holy crap, Brother Ye, you finally came! There are ghosts here! Zhang Yi is dead; he was eaten by a ghost." Fatty Wang ran over quickly. He had already started running the moment he saw Ye Xiu enter.

Ye Xiu said nothing, signaling for Fatty Wang to leave first.

Soon, the terrified crowd began to move. There was no order to speak of; they all swarmed toward the crack.

This chaotic scene caused Ye Xiu to frown involuntarily.
