NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: The Forbidden Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge
Ye Yun narrowed his eyelids slightly, his gaze fixed on the depths of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
Just one glance.
He saw through all of the essence of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
Ye Yun smiled indifferently.
He raised his hand, ready to completely erase Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he immediately withdrew his hand.
He was now in the True God Realm.
He was already an unmatched existence on the Cangnan Continent.
Bullying others like this wasn't quite right.
If one day, this spread to certain places, he would be laughed at.
Moreover, the young girl Luo Li was now the Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect and still needed to continue her training.
If he handled everything down to the smallest detail himself, then Luo Li would be like a sheltered flower, unable to withstand any wind or rain.
Toppling at the slightest breeze, bending at the lightest rain.
Now.
This place Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
Could be where Luo Li broadened her horizons and underwent some training.
Thinking of this.
Ye Yun changed his mind.
However, just as he prepared to speak, his expression suddenly shifted as he looked towards a distant place.
On a hillside hundreds of miles outside Dayue City.
A middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly descended.
At this moment, with an angry look on his face, he gazed in the direction of Dayue City, furiously exclaiming, "I, Mr. Liu, swear not to be human if this revenge is not achieved!"
From the void came a soft laugh.
The middle-aged man in the black robe was suddenly startled and looked around, shouting loudly, "Who? Who is making a spectacle here, show yourself quickly!"
Within the void.
A faint face suddenly appeared.
It was a young man with deep features and eyes like the stars.
"How can it be you?"
The black-robed, middle-aged man instantly recognized him as the white-robed man he had seen in the Wanbao Pavilion, seemingly without any cultivation.
He was extremely shocked.
At that moment, his heart was stirred by a tidal wave.
The divine skills performed by the other party had already surpassed his understanding.
"Do you still want revenge?"
From within the shadow, Ye Yun spoke faintly, endless mockery in his eyes.
When he was in the Wanbao Pavilion back then, he hadn't acted in front of Luo Li.
But this arrogant fellow had already offended him once.
Ye Yun certainly wouldn't let him live to see tomorrow.
A wisp of his divine sense had always followed the man.
The aim was to annihilate this person.
"Who exactly are you? We have no old grudges and no recent enmity, why must you kill and silence?"
Looking at that faint shadow, the middle-aged man in the black robe felt a terrifying presence descend.
He trembled, unable to summon even a bit of strength at the moment.
At that moment, he had the feeling of facing a god.
A mere mortal, facing a God Man, had no heart for resistance whatsoever.
Whoosh!
Ye Yun's phantom face suddenly blew a gentle breath.
This gentle breath fell upon the middle-aged man in the black robe, instantly igniting into flames.
The man in the black robe was burned to ashes in an instant.
After finishing this, the shadow vanished from the void.
Meanwhile, near Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
Ye Yun raised his brows slightly, a calm smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Luo Li and said with a smile, "That so-called Pointing Lantern ritual, there are now over ten thousand people, most of whom barely have a breath left, so your little disciple shouldn't be in trouble either."
"That's wonderful, Ancestor."
Luo Li clutched her chest, exhaling with lingering fear.
"This place is quite interesting, you can go in and explore, and when necessary, I'll act."
Ye Yun said again with a smile.
"Okay, Ancestor."
Luo Li was slightly taken aback but quickly nodded heavily.
After all, she was an intelligent girl, and as thoughts swirled in her mind, she seemed to understand the Ancestor's intention.
This Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge was merely a forbidden place that emerged ten thousand years ago.
In the Ancestor's eyes, it was simply like children playing with mud.
He didn't even regard it.
However, this forbidden place of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge, in the Ancient Moon Dynasty of the Cangnan Continent, was considered a highly mysterious and fearsome location.
"That's the difference in realm, isn't it?"
Luo Li sighed inwardly, gazing at the Ancestor's handsome and graceful figure, feeling envious to death.
When would she be able to cultivate to the True God Realm?
Never mind the True God Realm, even if she could cultivate to the Nirvana Realm.
Luo Li would laugh herself awake from a dream.
On the Cangnan Continent, the cultivation stages were divided into Body Refining Realm, Gathering Qi Realm, Mysterious Pill Realm, Origin Sea Realm, Shaping God Realm, Divine Bridge Realm, Nirvana Realm, Destiny Realm, Life and Death Realm, Eternal Realm.
Luo Li had just reached the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm.
Above it, there were six major realms.
Breaking through each realm was extremely challenging.
Within the Ancient Moon Dynasty, Origin Sea Realm was already considered quite rare.
A cultivator like Luo Li at the peak of the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm could practically walk unhindered here; ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke her easily.
The Ancient Moon Dynasty also had strong figures in the Shaping God Realm.
But relatively speaking, they were rare. These strong figures were usually the Ancestor-level figures of major top sects, who hardly appeared in the world.
As for the Divine Bridge Realm above the Shaping God Realm, Luo Li hadn't heard of any.
The Ancient Moon Dynasty was vast, but in nearly a thousand years, no strong figure of the Divine Bridge Realm had been born.
Ye Yun led Luo Li to the outer mountains of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
He restrained his god-like aura and halted his realm at the Mysterious Pill Realm.
By doing so, Ye Yun just wanted to keep a low profile.
Without any cultivation at all, this would not be normal and would make others more prone to speculation.
Better to intentionally reveal a bit of cultivation.
Nowadays, at Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge, the Pointing Lantern ritual was in full swing.
Various forces' cultivators continuously escorted people into the dark valley of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
The extremely beautiful Luo Li, dressed in yellow, unmatched in grace, floated like a fairy, attracting many forces' attention.
However, upon seeing Luo Li's strong cultivation at the tenth layer peak of the Origin Sea Realm, none dared approach her, nor did they dare behave in any disrespectful manner.
Being looked up to by everyone, Luo Li felt somewhat elated.
She was now a major cultivator of the Origin Sea Realm, and truly no one in this patch of the Ancient Moon Dynasty dared to do anything to her.
"Let's go."
Ye Yun chuckled beside her, urging her.
This little girl was too young, although shrewd, her nature was still innocent and romantic, finding it hard to control her emotions.
But this was all human nature anyway.
Let Luo Li train for another few years, when she would be eighteen or nineteen, it would surely be a different story.
The two of them slowly walked into the pitch-black valley of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
In this Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge, black ghost qi pervaded.
Vegetation had long since perished, stained black.
Black ghostly creatures constantly moved among the surrounding trees, emitting various eerie and sinister sounds.
But at this moment, no one was overly fearful.
At this time.
The ghostly creatures of Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge wouldn't attack humans.
After walking along the valley for a quarter of an hour.
The terrain ahead suddenly turned.
A huge gorge appeared before them.
In the center of the gorge.
There was a black pool, chilling and terrifying, emitting thick black ghost qi.
And within the pool.
There stood one human cultivator after another.
These cultivators were planted into the pool like scallions, only their heads exposed above the water.
Each person's eyes were tightly shut, expressions filled with pain.
Above each of their heads, each bore a dark red candle, translucent, with dark red gas continually rising from its tip.
From afar.
Glows flickered as if countless candles were burning.
