Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

However, very soon, Chu Xiu furrowed his brows. Despite having so many Artifacts for protection, this powerful creature’s Speed significantly slowed down upon reaching one-fifth of the way up. By the time it reached one-third, it was utterly stuck, with its claws desperately clutching the rocks, as its originally ten-meter-long Soul Body condensed to merely one meter, barely stabilizing its form.

Chu Xiu saw clearly; the closer to the peak, not only did the concentration of Death Qi increase, but there was also an invisible pressure binding the Ghost!

The Immortal Palace Ghost beside him shook its head regretfully and said, ”Fellow Daoist Grey Stone’s Soul Body is condensed, but unfortunately, the cultivation of the ’Inverted Yin and Yang Technique’ is shallow. Attempting to force one’s way through with strength is exceedingly difficult, even several Immortal Monarchs may find it impossible.”

Chu Xiu’s heart stirred: ”This Immortal Monarch is...”

The Immortal Palace Ghost paused for a moment before smilingly saying, ”Anyone who can enter the Penglai Immortal Island is honored with an ’Immortal Title’. Currently, there are ’One Emperor, Three Venerables, and Six Immortal Monarchs’, totally ten individuals who have passed through.”

”These ten predecessors are all top-tier powerhouses, under whose governance our Immortal Palace and the entire You City operate.”

Chu Xiu nodded, just then, that Leopard Ghost finally couldn’t hold on, overturned by a massive wave of Death Qi, its Soul Body curling into a ball, tumbling down awkwardly.

Three people below seemed to have anticipated this, stepping forward together to catch and protect that Leopard.

The four whispered among themselves as if comforting the Leopard Ghost, and then they walked towards Chu Xiu.

Seeing Chu Xiu and his companion, they halted their steps, cupped their hands, and said, ”Greetings, Daoist. You look unfamiliar; are you also here to climb the Holy Mountain?”

Seeing everyone looking at him, after hesitating for a while, Chu Xiu also asked the question he most wanted to ask on this journey.

”I do have such intent, but I’d like to ask all of you: What exactly is the Penglai Immortal Realm? Once inside, can we leave this world?”

Chu Xiu’s words surprised the group, and a giant appearing as if cast from Copper said, ”The Penglai Immortal Realm, as the name suggests, is the land where Immortals reside. It is said to be abundant with Immortal Qi, bursting with life, capable of transforming into our Cultivation without Refinement. It is the Holy Land every Cultivator dreams of. Only within the Immortal Realm can the Inverted Yin and Yang Technique be cultivated to Great Success, achieving the Immortal Body.”

”Of course, what exactly the Immortal Realm looks like is only known by the ’One Emperor, Three Venerables, and Six Immortal Monarchs’.”

Beside the giant, a short-statured Ghost with wings on its back said, ”You’re talking about leaving this world, do you mean exploring the three thousand worlds? Immortal Monarch Qingxia once told me that upon entering the Penglai Immortal Realm, we can freely explore other small worlds. We are born in this world and never thought about such issues; your vision is far-reaching, and I admire it.”

This person’s Soul Body is not large, but it is extremely condensed, even stronger than the Leopard Ghost climbing the Holy Mountain, definitely a Heroic Spirit Level combatant.

Of course, its Tier remains at the King Tier, as these Ghosts only possess such power here; in the Outer World, their strength diminishes significantly. The Leopard Ghost also chuckled, ”Immortal Venerable Yunyang once brought back the corpse of an Ancient Dragon, naturally indicating the possibility of traveling to other worlds.”

Listening to the few Ghosts speak, Chu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, cupping his hands, saying: ”In that case, I dare to try.”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the three Ghosts said in unison: ”No way!”

Chu Xiu gave them a puzzled look, and the Leopard Ghost said: ”Climbing the Holy Mountain is no child’s play; it’s perilously dangerous. You have no Artifact for protection, not to mention lacking even one piece of Cyan Yang Armor—if you encounter a torrent of Death Qi, your life could be at risk.”

Pausing for a moment, the Leopard Ghost shook its body, and the Heavy Armor suddenly fell off, transforming into a Spiritual Light hovering in front of it.

”If you don’t mind, please use my armor.”

Now, Chu Xiu was truly touched; although these Ghosts appeared fierce and ugly, they were all pure-hearted and kind.

After a brief contemplation, he didn’t stand on ceremony, took the Cyan Yang Armor, examined it carefully, and was surprised to discover it was a King Tier Legendary Equipment! It left him marveling at the innumberable heavenly treasures here, as the value of the King Tier Legendary Equipment must be extremely high—yet this Ghost gave it directly, truly incredible.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu pointed his finger, and instantly the Cyan Yang Armor burst with Spiritual Light, changing shape to fit perfectly on his body. Without further delay, he swiftly dashed towards the peak of the Holy Mountain.

Outside, he felt normal, but upon entering the winding mountain path, he realized the terror of the Death Qi; the Death Qi Waterfall spanning unknown distances crashed down on him like the Yellow River suspending, he felt tens of thousands of tons of Giant Strength pressing onto his shoulders, the Death Qi penetrating every crevice like the most terrifying toxin, relentlessly gnawing at his Death Qi barrier.

Chu Xiu was startled, decided to finish swiftly, his body transformed into a stream of light sprinting upward at high Speed.

Even though the Holy Mountain stood ten thousand meters tall, with his Speed, it would be over in a few breaths. But unexpectedly, after a few steps, he felt an oppressive sensation from all directions; the faster he moved, the stronger the pressure, as if the entire world was repelling him!

This pressure not only weighed down his body but also hindered the flow of Spiritual Power within him; even the Demonic Qi already condensed trembled under the high pressure, as though it might dissolve into pure Spiritual Power any moment!
