Chapter 165 - True Goal
Chapter 165: True Goal
Qi Ming was very calm. He focused his gaze and looked. Although the black shadow that rushed out of the Nine Nether Gate was so fast that it seemed to teleport, Qi Ming still saw the other party clearly.
This was a Nine Nether Ghost.
There was a humanoid figure.
However, there were no facial features.
It was a Faceless.
To be precise, it was a Connate ghost nurtured by the Nine Nether Will.
This ghost was controlled by the Nine Nether Will.
The reason why the Nine Nether Will targeted Qi Ming was because his physique was the Battle Sacred Body. The Sacred Body had not appeared for too long, but now, a Sacred Body had appeared. This attracted the curiosity of the Nine Nether Will.
It wanted to investigate.
The Battle Sacred Body also had the characteristic of being immune to all evil.
In other words, it was immune to the corrosion of the Nine Nether Qi.
Although Qi Ming’s Battle Sacred Body was hidden very well and could hide from the Grand Elders and Yang Li of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, it could not hide from the Nine Nether Will.
“Taiji Heavenly Sword Formation.”
Clang!
Huo Changqing attacked. He took a step forward. In the next moment, his figure teleported from his original location to Qi Ming.
Then, he slashed down with his sword. Under his sword blade, countless sword qi spread out. After the sword qi was arranged neatly, it transformed into a Taiji Sword Formation.
Bang bang bang!!!
Continuous explosions sounded.
The Taiji Sword Formation evolved.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud sound, the Faceless was sent flying.
“Ah!!!”
The Faceless let out a miserable cry. Under the countless sword qi, it was cut into countless fragments. These fragments transformed into wisps of black gas that gathered not far away.
“It’s not dead.” Qi Ming said.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Black fog had already spread.
More and more super ghosts appeared. The Nine Nether Gate opened a crack, and many chaotic ghosts rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a ghost army.
“Retreat!”
The people of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect did not fight the ghost army head-on. Instead, they retreated.
“Black Flame Dragon Breath.”
Roar!
Black Flame opened its mouth and let out a terrifying black dragon breath. The dragon flames were like pillars of fire as they struck the Connate ghost, the Faceless.
“Five Lightning Control.”
Qi Ming circulated his mystic technique and divine power. With a wave of his right hand, he transformed the power of the five lightning bolts in his palm. They gathered and struck.
Boom!
An explosion sounded.
The black flames’ dragon breath and Qi Ming’s Five-Blow-Thunderstruck struck the Faceless. Under these two attacks, it let out a miserable cry and was obliterated into ashes.
“Retreat!”
Qi Ming looked deeply at the Nine Nether Gate. Unknowingly, it was as if a supreme will and existence were constantly spying on him, making Qi Ming feel uneasy.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“…”
The four spirit pets replied.
Qi Ming led the four spirit pets and quickly retreated. In an extremely short period of time, they followed the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s sect team and retreated out of the Myriad Ghost Cave.
Crack! Crack!
The Heaven and Earth Sealing Array Formation was corroded by the Nine Nether Qi and gradually revealed a flaw. The vast array formation was covered in cracks and rotting.
Boom!
There was a loud sound.
The Heaven and Earth Sealing Array Formation shattered.
At the same time, Qi Ming and the others also rushed out of the Myriad Ghost Cave and arrived outside. However, the Nine Nether Black Mist was still spreading and gradually expanding.
Finally, the Myriad Ghost Cave’s range doubled before the surging black fog gradually calmed down.
In the deepest depths of the dense and dark Myriad Ghost Cave, vaguely, it was as if there was a faint illusory door. This door was completely black, and countless ghost shadows appeared, as if they were connected to the heavens and the earth.
This was the Nine Nether Gate.
Heaven and earth changed as the Nine Nether Gate appeared.
“Leave now.”
At this moment, because of the appearance of the Nine Nether Gate, the Underground Demon Venerable and the Grand Elders of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect took advantage of this chaos to escape from the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.
They quickly gathered with the large troops of the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect.
“They fled.” Daoist Purple Firmament said solemnly.
“So be it.”
“In the current situation, the Nine Nether Gate has suddenly appeared. The Myriad Ghost Cave has expanded, and the Sect Master and the others are fighting. We can’t kill them.”
“Although it’s a pity, there’s nothing we can do about it. Moreover, we did not suffer any losses this time. Instead, the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect suffered considerable losses.”
“That’s right.”
The other Grand Elders said.
In the sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three figures landed.
Yang Li, You Tianling, and Woodius.
The three of them had already stopped fighting.
“Nine Nether Gate.”
Yang Li frowned and said in a low voice, “It actually appeared at this moment. Does the Nine Nether Will want to invade the Mystic World? Or is it just showing its face?”
The Nine Nether was a very strange world.
This world belonged to the Mystic World, a part of the Mystic World. However, it had left the Mystic World and formed a world of its own. Moreover, it had nurtured the Nine Nether Will.
The Nine Nether Will was Nine Nether World Will, an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao.
It was very strange and peculiar.
The Nine Nether was not the netherworld, and there was no reincarnation.
In the Mystic World, if a living being died, their soul would be drawn by the Nine Nether Will and fall into Nine Nether, becoming a part of it.
“I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Woodius frowned, “Or is this matter actually also in the Immortal Race’s scheme? It seems that our Endless Abyss has been schemed against by the Immortal Race.”
200 years ago, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect set the location of the legacy competition to the Endless Abyss and sent the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks to the Endless Abyss to hunt underground demons.
It was because of that legacy competition that the Heaven Enlightenment Sect formed a grudge with the Endless Abyss.
After knowing that the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition was going to be held in the Myriad Ghost Cave, the Endless Abyss sent out a team with a little guidance from the immortals.
As for the Nine Nether Ghost Sect…
You Tianling had obtained the benefits the Immortal Race had given him. Moreover, the benefits were not small. It was a Ghost Race grotto-heaven that had been left behind since ancient times. It was very helpful to You Tianling, so he had sent a team to deal with the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.
In You Tianling’s opinion, they were only legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. They were all juniors. It was only easy to deal with them.
As for offending the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, You Tianling was even less afraid.
“Yang Li.” Woodiuss said bluntly, “This time, our Endless Abyss was rash and was schemed against by the immortals. That’s why we attacked and caused this to happen.”
“Now it seems…” Woodius pondered for a moment, “The immortals have been silent for so long. They want to attack our four regions, and it’s so obvious.”
“In that case, let’s forget about this battle.”
You Tianling frowned slightly. “If we really go to war, it will probably go according to the immortals’ wishes.”
They had already calmed down.
“Okay.”
Yang Li nodded and put away the sword in his hand, “Since this matter started by us, the two of you will seal this Nine Nether Gate with me.”
“Otherwise…”
“Nine Nether Qi is constantly surging out of the Nine Nether Gate, and the range of the Myriad Ghost Cave is constantly expanding. It’s not a good thing for the Western Region or the Southern Region.”
“Sure.” Woodius nodded.
“Yes.” You Tianling also said.
Yang Li, You Tianling, and Woodius who were still fighting just now had joined forces to seal the Nine Nether Gate.
Rumble!!!
The four directions of the Myriad Ghost Cave shook extremely violently. The power of heaven and earth spread, and the spiritual qi of heaven and earth gathered, producing an energy storm.
Yang Li and the other two attacked and displayed powerful might. It was extremely vast and contained the might of heaven and earth. Countless runes interwoven and spread out into majestic Dao runes that transformed into a huge purple array diagram.
Finally, the purple array formation landed and enveloped the Nine Nether Gate, forcefully sealing it.
Only then did the black fog truly stop expanding, and the chaotic ghosts gradually calmed down.
This way, the commotion in the Myriad Ghost Cave finally calmed down.
“Go!”
You Tianling waved her hand, and the spatial passageway appeared. She stepped in and glanced at Yang Li before leaving, “Sect Master Yang, I’ll see your Sword Dao next time.”
She had already left.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Then, all the ghost cultivators of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect followed closely behind.
“Let’s go.”
Woodius converged his strength and disguised himself as a scholar. He turned around and walked into the spatial passageway. The underground demons followed him.
This way, the legacy competition ended.
Next, the legacy disciples and elders of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect returned to the Heaven Enlightenment Sect one after another. Qi Ming also left the Myriad Ghost Cave with everyone.
Not long after, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Nine Nether Ghost Sect, Endless Abyss all left the Myriad Ghost Cave.
The Myriad Ghost Cave seemed to have returned to its former peace.
Half an hour later.
Two immortal lights arrived.
Looking closer, it was a man and a woman.
They were dressed gorgeously and respectfully. They had an ethereal immortal aura. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. There was no flaw on their bodies.
“Open!”
Then, they looked at each other. The man waved his right hand and took out a white immortal token. The woman beside him formed hand seals and talisman characters appeared.
Swish!
The Immortal Token tore through the air and landed in the deepest depths of the Myriad Ghost Cave.
Crack!
The Immortal Token was like a sharp sword that pierced through the purple array formation created by Yang Li, You Tianling, and Woodius. A gap appeared.
The seal was incomplete.
As wisps of Nine Nether Qi flowed out of the gap, the Myriad Ghost Cave fluctuated again. However, because there was not much Nine Nether Qi surging, it quickly calmed down.
“It’s done.”
The man said, “In addition, the Battle Sacred Body is indeed in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Although the process was a little complicated, there was no problem with the result deduced by Immortal King Linglong.”
The woman nodded, “The Battle Sacred Body is a small matter, but the Nine Nether Gate is a huge matter. It is the true goal and plot of our Immortal Race.”
