Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Ten Thousand Year Old Evil Ghost Suddenly Self-Destructs

A thick black smoke suddenly burst from the underground chasm, congregating into a dense mass of blackness in mid-air. It roiled and churned, ultimately forming into the head of an evil ghost.

This evil ghost had no body, only a giant head.

It floated in mid-air, its two blood-red eyes, like millstones, blinking and radiating a crimson glow.

”Hahaha... Suppressed for tens of thousands of years, I’ve finally escaped!”

The evil ghost roared with laughter, its voice so powerful that the surrounding mountains began to tremble. After all, as a ghost of the Eternal Realm, its power was truly earth-shattering.

Seeing this bodiless evil ghost, Luo Li’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but swallow nervously. She had encountered ghosts before at the Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge, but none of them had seemed as terrifying as this one.

Jun Moxiao’s gaze was electric, fixed intently on the bodiless evil ghost. He had once been subjected to the Sky Lantern torture at the Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge, giving him a deep-seated loathing for ghosts.

Su Wanyi remained calm, her expression unchanged.

Ye Yun appeared indifferent, his hands clasped behind his back as he sized up the evil ghost before him.

This bodiless evil ghost has been sealed for at least several years, yet its cultivation level remains above the Eternal Realm, he mused. It’s currently at the First Level of the Eternal Realm. I’d guess its original cultivation was at least at the Third Level of the Eternal Realm, possibly higher.

”Hmph, there are four little humans here?”

The evil ghost, floating in mid-air, suddenly spotted the four tiny figures below. Three of them were young Cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm. As for the other, a man dressed in white, the ghost couldn’t determine his cultivation base at all; he looked like an ordinary person.

I’ve only eaten the dead so far. Now, how about some living ones to whet my appetite?

The newly freed evil ghost let out a sinister cackle. Opening its massive mouth, a powerful suction force pulled downwards.

Ye Yun’s pupils contracted slightly. In an instant, the evil ghost was frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

”Who suppressed you in this place?” Ye Yun asked lightly.

The evil ghost suddenly found itself unable to move. Its eyes bulged in disbelief as it stared down at the young man in white below. It finally realized that the cultivation base of this young man far exceeded its own.

Could he be a True God?

At this thought, terror surged within the evil ghost.

”I... I don’t know what happened!” the evil ghost stammered, not deliberately hiding anything.

It looked around, a surprised expression suddenly appearing on its face as it murmured to itself, ”Wait, isn’t this the Divine Land?”

”Correct. This is the Cangnan Continent,” Ye Yun said with a faint smile.

The next moment, he activated his Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye. The evil ghost’s eyes immediately glazed over, and it hung motionless in the air. Ye Yun couldn’t be bothered to question the ghost further and decided to extract its memories directly.

This evil ghost... it truly is from the Divine Land, not a native ghost of the Cangnan Continent.

However, just as Ye Yun attempted to probe who had sealed this evil ghost within the Tian Heng Sect, he suddenly detected a destructive force erupting from the depths of its Primordial Spirit.

BOOM!

The evil ghost’s entire head exploded in an instant. An unimaginably vast destructive force detonated in mid-air.

”Hmph! Such insignificant tricks. How dare you display your incompetence before me?” Ye Yun sneered.

His Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye pulsed rapidly twice. The formidable explosive force was immediately frozen in place before dissipating into nothingness.

Ye Yun’s expression turned somewhat grim. This evil ghost from the Divine Land had a powerful restriction placed within its mind. The moment he tried to access its memories, the restriction would automatically activate, obliterating the evil ghost. Fortunately, he had already reached the Divine Monarch Realm. An ordinary Eternal Realm Cultivator would likely have been killed or severely injured by that.

”Ancestor, what on earth just happened?” Jun Moxiao asked, his face pale, his voice laced with lingering fear from his position nearby. The evil ghost had suddenly exploded, and the unimaginable power unleashed almost scared him to the ground. Fortunately, their Ancestor had intervened and dissipated the aftershocks of the explosion.

Luo Li and Su Wanyi also looked extremely tense. Even the slightest wisp of aura leaking from the Eternal Realm Strong Person’s explosion made their minds tremble, as if an indescribable terror was descending upon them.

”It’s nothing. You don’t need to concern yourselves with this for now,” Ye Yun said nonchalantly.

As for the three juniors of the Dragon God Sect, Ye Yun planned to have them remain on the Cangnan Continent. He would deal with the enemies from beyond the Divine Land himself.

At this point, Ye Yun surveyed his surroundings. A star-like glimmer flickered in his eyes.

All the Cultivation Techniques, secret manuals, and celestial and earthly treasures from the Tian Heng Sect’s Treasure Pavilion and Scripture Repository flew towards him, forming a long stream resembling a dragon.

”Go ahead and collect all of these,” Ye Yun said with a smile.

Since the Tian Heng Sect had been annihilated, these Cultivation Techniques and celestial and earthly treasures were now ownerless. It was the perfect opportunity for the three juniors to place them into their storage rings. The revival of the Dragon God Sect would require a vast amount of such celestial and earthly treasures. The resources accumulated by the Tian Heng Sect were merely a drop in the bucket.

”I never imagined there would be so much,” Luo Li exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the piles of celestial and earthly treasures and martial arts manuals covering the square. Compared to the Shen Heng Sect, the Tian Heng Sect’s foundation was more than a hundred times greater.

”Senior Sister, you’re the Sect Leader. You should distribute them,” Jun Moxiao said, rubbing his hands together with a grin.

Luo Li waved her hand dismissively. ”It’s no big deal. Let’s just divide them amongst ourselves for now. In any case, when the Dragon God Sect is revived, we’ll have to pool all our resources together anyway.”

”Great!” Jun Moxiao nodded repeatedly.

The three of them began to divide the spoils, finishing quickly.

At that moment, Ye Yun took out a small silver insect and gently flicked it onto a large nearby tree. The tiny insect obediently nestled among the dense leaves, remaining perfectly still.

The Tian Heng Sect was a Medium grade Sect. Now that the Dragon God Monument, which the Tian Heng Sect had controlled, had been taken away, and the entire sect was destroyed, such a significant event would surely cause a stir. Ye Yun guessed that the hidden powers behind it might come to investigate. If anyone did come, it would be the perfect chance to catch them all in one swoop.

Ye Yun led the three juniors from the Dragon God Sect back to the carriage. He had arranged for Su Wanyi to absorb the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. After all, Su Wanyi’s Ancestral Dragon Bloodline concentration had just reached 8%, still 2% lower than that of Jun Moxiao and Luo Li. This period would be a good opportunity for her to absorb it thoroughly. The goal was for her to catch up to Luo Li and Jun Moxiao.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Yun gazed in the direction of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty. A quick mental calculation revealed that there was still some time before the Heavenly Moon Secret Region opened, which put his mind at ease. During this time, the three juniors from the Dragon God Sect should all be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Once they did, they could enter the Heavenly Moon Secret Region to gain experience.

Ye Yun also wanted to find out who had arranged for the Shen Heng Sect, the Tian Heng Sect, and other sects to continually persecute the Dragon God Sect.

After retracting his gaze, Ye Yun began to scan the territory of the Heavenly Star Dynasty once more. He wanted to see if there were any other items belonging to the Dragon God Sect that were being suppressed there. After a thorough scan, he found nothing.

Ye Yun expanded his scanning range, beginning to survey other areas. After scanning several nearby dynasties, Ye Yun still found nothing.

Could it be that the other twelve Dragon God Monuments have been destroyed? Ye Yun murmured to himself, this sudden possibility dawning on him.
