C126 Another Ghost Cultivator
In these four hours, Qi Zhuohao and ___ had walked over two hundred miles. Along the way, they had killed an unknown number of Mortal Beast. Fortunately, they did not encounter any more Demonic Beast, so they killed very easily.
One had to know that within Qi Zhuohao's furious heart, his profound strength was limited. After he used it, he needed to enter the Fire Crystal Coffin to cultivate the Fury Skill to replenish his energy. That process would consume a lot of time, and Qi Zhuohao was naturally happy to not encounter any more Demonic Beast.
And at this moment, the reason why Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were shocked was not because they had encountered the Demonic Beast again. On the contrary, there was not even a single Mortal Beast here. In the flat and vast desert, there was actually a 30 meter tall pillar!
That pillar was cylindrical in shape, and its root was as thick as the top. It required at least three or four people to wrap their arms around it. Its entire body was dark red and its surface was as smooth as a mirror. There seemed to be words engraved on it. More importantly, at the top of the pillar... There was a gray pearl.
The bead seemed to be affected by some mysterious force? It was floating above the pillar, although it was only the size of an egg. However, it emitted a brilliant grey light and a terrifying aura. Without a doubt, it was an amazing treasure!
"Come, let's go and take a look!"
Qi Zhuohao said and walked towards the pillar first. Nan Yudia came back to her senses and quickly followed.
"Junior, when you came to the center of Yexing Desert, you also saw the Wind Spirit Bead that I left behind. You are the fated person that I have been waiting for. Junior, you only need to kowtow a hundred times under the pillar. You will be able to take away the Wind Spirit Bead and sweep across the world... "
Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were once again stunned when they saw what was happening in front of them. There were words engraved on the pillar and the words on it... It was purposely left behind by a mysterious expert. Not only did he explain that this place was the center of the Yexing Desert, but he also said that it was the center of the Yexing Desert. And the secret of the bead.
The bead was called the Wind Spirit Bead, and it was undoubtedly a treasure. Furthermore, anyone who came here would be able to take the Wind Spirit Bead away as long as they kowtowed a hundred times under the pillar. There was no need for them to do anything for the mysterious expert who left the Wind Spirit Bead behind!
"Zhuohao, that bead is actually a Wind Spirit Bead. I have a feeling that something is wrong with the words on the pillar!"
The three words' Wind Spirit Bead 'were like thunder in Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia's ears. That was one of the nine great attribute spirit pearls! Nan Yudia was a wind attribute and fire attribute martial artist. Qi Zhuohao's constitution also had a wind attribute. The two of them could use Wind Spirit Bead.
And the Wind Spirit Bead could transform the physique of a wind-type martial artist into a Spirit Wind Body. Moreover, it was a killing treasure. If it was placed outside, who knew how many experts would fight over it? Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were truly lucky!
Of course, Nan Yudia did not lose her reason, and so did Qi Zhuohao. Although the Wind Spirit Bead was valuable, they had not reached the stage where they were blinded by greed. This was the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave, and only Spirit Accepting Stage warriors could enter. Just the Wind Spirit Bead alone proved that the strength of this mysterious expert was absolutely terrifying. How did he get here?
"En, I also feel that something isn't right. But it's fine. Let's take a look first!" Qi Zhuohao replied and continued to look at the pillar.
Combined with the various mysterious situations in Yexing Desert, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia had to be more careful. How could there be such a good thing in the world? He kowtowed a hundred times and let the supreme treasure be taken away. There seemed to be a conspiracy behind this!
The more Qi Zhuohao looked at the pillar, the more he felt that something was wrong. This pillar seemed to be different. He could not tell what material it was made of. It looked like this pillar was more like a rod.
A rod type artifact was an unusual kind of rod type artifact. Usually, only experts with infinite strength would use it. It was extremely rare! Although Qi Zhuohao had never seen a staff type item that was over 30 meters tall, this did not mean that there was no such a huge staff type item in the world.
"En!" Suddenly, Qi Zhuohao's heart moved. When he looked back and forth at the pillar, he felt as if someone was staring at him. This feeling made him feel very unnatural.
For no reason, Qi Zhuohao couldn't help but release the Spiritual Sense and carefully look at the pillar. When he looked at the center of the pillar, his expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled Nan Yudia's hand and turned around to escape.
Nan Yudia was feeling depressed when she heard an old but vigorous voice from behind. Immediately after, a black shadow flashed and an illusionary figure blocked their path.
It was a white-haired old man with a fierce expression. He was three feet above the ground and was suspended in the fierce wind. The fierce wind couldn't even move his clothes because he was a spectral cultivator!
Back then, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia had met a spectral cultivator in a small village near Taihee Town. Therefore, they were not unfamiliar with spectral cultivators. The realm of this spectral cultivator... It was the same as the one they had met before. It was an Essence Incarnating Stage!
Of course, although the realm of spectral cultivators was the same as warriors, there was a more general classification of realms. Strictly speaking, the realms of spectral cultivators were divided into Mortal Rank, Earth Rank, and so on and so forth. Each level was further divided into three levels, corresponding to the realm of martial artists.
In other words, this Essence Incarnating Stage spectral cultivator should be called a First Grade Earth Rank spectral cultivator. However, unlike the ghost cultivators in the small village, this spectral cultivator did not have fangs, nor did he have long fingernails!
"Good boy, you are so young and your realm is low, but you actually have a Spiritual Sense. This old man has miscalculated! However, since you have come here, you must at least leave me a body to escape. This is simply delusional! "
The illusory white-haired old man acted as if he did not see Nan Yudia. His turbid eyes stared at Qi Zhuohao. His eyes were filled with greed. Qi Zhuohao's physique was very strong, and he had the Spiritual Sense. This kind of body could be used by him.
Just now, Qi Zhuohao had used the Spiritual Sense to investigate the pillar. He had already discovered that the ghost cultivators were hiding inside. That was why he had pulled Nan Yudia along to escape. When he heard the ghost cultivator's words, even Nan Yudia understood that this ghost cultivator wanted to possess them. No, he wanted to possess Qi Zhuohao.
Back then, the spectral cultivator wanted to absorb Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia's souls to cultivate, but this spectral cultivator wanted to possess Qi Zhuohao's soul. From this, it could be seen that the cultivation technique of this spectral cultivator was very powerful.
Soul possession, in other words, was to erase the soul of a warrior. A ghost cultivator could completely occupy the body of a warrior. It was quite evil!
"Who are you exactly? Why are you hiding here?" Qi Zhuohao had given up on escaping after being blocked by the ghost cultivator. Previously, she had unconsciously wanted to escape because of her panic, but now that she thought about it... How could a First Grade Earth Rank ghost cultivator be worthy?
Seeing Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia's serious faces, White-haired Ghost Cultivator didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack Qi Zhuohao. He sneered and said, "Kid, since you are about to become my physical body... It doesn't matter if I resolve the doubts in your heart appropriately."
"Kid, listen carefully. It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I was the overlord of Hongwu Continent when I was alive. It's your honor to become my physical body!"
White-haired Ghost Cultivator changed the topic and pointed at the pillar and the Wind Spirit Bead on top of it. He said, "Do you see that? That Wind Spirit Bead was mine when I was alive. That pillar was the Weapon Blade that I used when I was alive. Back then, I was seriously injured and my realm fell to the Acceptance Spirit Realm. Hence, I hid in this secret realm. Later, because my injuries were too severe, I died and the heavens tempered me. I became a spectral cultivator. Today, it will be the beginning of my comeback! "
"Kid, don't resist. Be obedient and fuse with my soul. I will bring you to roam the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, White-haired Ghost Cultivator's body slowly drifted toward Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were only Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator. They had probably been frightened by him a long time ago. Adding on his brainwashing words, how could Qi Zhuohao and ___ still have any thoughts of resisting?
However, White-haired Ghost Cultivator had miscalculated. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were not afraid of him at all. Furthermore, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia had always kept a close watch on their minds. How could they be fooled by him? Even if what he said was true, Qi Zhuohao wouldn't hand over his body.
Therefore, White-haired Ghost Cultivator came to Qi Zhuohao's front and stretched out his illusory hands. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia suddenly flew away at the same time, only to see Qi Zhuohao staring coldly at White-haired Ghost Cultivator. He said disdainfully, "Old man, you really think too much. You still want to possess my body? Meeting me is your bad luck! "
White-haired Ghost Cultivator was slightly stunned, then he burst into laughter and said, "Kid, don't think that you can fight me. I am a First Grade Earth Rank ghost cultivator. You can also treat me as an Essence Incarnating Expert at the moment, and you can say that I am able to possess you with ease. Even if you resist, it will be futile in the end. "
Back then, when White-haired Ghost Cultivator fell, he chose to settle down here. Without a doubt, he had already made up his mind. This desert was very strange. The Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator that was able to reach this place... What he needed was the body of a genius.
What White-haired Ghost Cultivator said before was actually true. He was indeed the overlord that dominated the four corners of the world. The physique of an ordinary Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator simply couldn't enter his eyes. In order to return to the majestic past, he was willing to wait here for thousands of years!
It was imaginable how patient White-haired Ghost Cultivator was. He had considered this for a very long time!
Qi Zhuohao didn't take White-haired Ghost Cultivator's words seriously. He didn't take the old man's words seriously at all. He snorted coldly again and said, "That may not be the case. Old man, I have killed a ghost cultivator of the same realm as you before. If you stay in the pillar obediently, I can pretend that I didn't see you. Since you want to die, I can only fulfill your wish!"
Qi Zhuohao was very clear that no matter how strong this spectral cultivator was when he was alive, he was still alive. Moreover, the strength of this spectral cultivator had yet to reach the level of his previous life. There was no way he could use the Secret Technique, weapons, treasures, and so on when he was alive!
In other words, once a martial artist became a spectral cultivator, he would have to start cultivating from scratch. He could keep the items from before he died, but they were just for decoration. Just like White-haired Ghost Cultivator's giant stick weapon and Wind Spirit Bead, White-haired Ghost Cultivator could not use them now.
With this, why would Qi Zhuohao be afraid of White-haired Ghost Cultivator? More importantly, Qi Zhuohao had the natural treasure of a ghost cultivator, the Fire Crystal Coffin. When a ghost cultivator met him, it would be the misfortune of eight lifetimes!
Thinking back to the time when that old ghost cultivator wanted to kill Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia... That time, the Fire Crystal Coffin saved Qi Zhuohao on its own. But now, Qi Zhuohao could use the Fire Crystal Coffin to devour White-haired Ghost Cultivator!
However, Qi Zhuohao still did not understand why the Fire Crystal Coffin would devour ghost cultivators. What was the use of it devouring ghost cultivators?
