Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen wasn’t overly familiar with the Ghost Temple.

In his previous life, he had happened to hear about the Ghost Temple, but he had never entered it.

It wasn’t until after he entered the Great Ruins that he unexpectedly encountered the Ghost Temple.

He had seen the Vermilion Bird fly across the sky, and also encountered it within the Great Ruins.

Even the Pill Furnace that had blown him to bits was found in the Great Ruins.

Everything began in the Great Ruins.

And he knew of the Ghost Temple, and even had some understanding of it.

This was because he had once obtained a key to the Ghost Temple and successfully entered it.

The Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique he currently practiced was something he discovered in the Ghost Temple.

’The Ghost Temple... I still don’t really know what kind of place it is.’

’Could it be that in this life, I’ll be able to unravel the secrets of the Ghost Temple?’

’And even discover the origin of the Pill Furnace that killed me?’

Thoughts raced through Jiang Chen’s mind as he pondered continuously.

Advancing through the darkness, he already had some knowledge of this place.

”I’ve been to the first three floors. Where we are now is the first floor, the Ghost Realm.”

Not only did he know it was the first floor, he even knew its name was the Ghost Realm.

This was simply because the first floor was filled with a large number of evil Ghosts. They would absorb the Soul Power from a Martial Cultivator’s body, and a Martial Cultivator who lost their Soul Power would die.

This was the very reason for Jiang Chen’s worry.

Although they hadn’t encountered any Ghosts yet, he knew that the darkness here was by no means safe.

”Stay close to me.”

Jiang Chen reminded Zhan Yang, JinLing, and the others behind him.

The four of them followed Jiang Chen.

JinLing, a little nervous in the darkness, pressed, ”Jiang Chen, what exactly is this place?”

This question was on everyone else’s mind as well.

”This place is called the Ghost Temple. It’s an extremely bizarre place.”

”You must be careful about everything.”

Jiang Chen didn’t hide anything and told them just that.

As he spoke, the group continued to move forward.

But it was completely dark here. No one knew what they might bump into in the darkness; for now, it seemed empty.

”Ghost Temple?”

Mulling over Jiang Chen’s words, all four of them were puzzled. They had never even heard of a place like the Ghost Temple.

Zhan Yang said in a low voice, ”I’ve traveled far and wide, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the Ghost Temple.”

”This place is so strange. I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something in the darkness.”

In the darkness, Zhan Yang’s heart was exceptionally heavy.

Jiang Chen remained silent. He had only heard about the Ghost Temple back when he was in the Nine Desolates.

Very, very few people knew of it back then.

Zhan Yang and the others certainly wouldn’t know about it now.

Niu Tuo pressed from behind, ”Jiang Chen, how do you know this is the Ghost Temple? It looks like this is your first time here, too.”

What puzzled him was that Jiang Chen had stated the name of the place so directly, and from his tone, even seemed to know something about it.

So he asked out of curiosity.

”I happened to read about it in an ancient secret manual.”

”Based on the environment here, I concluded that this is the mysterious Ghost Temple of legend.”

In truth, Jiang Chen had never known the origin of this Divine Hall.

There were very, very few legends about it, but it was definitely an extremely bizarre existence.

Encountering the Ghost Temple here was already a surprise.

He didn’t know if this Ghost Temple was the same one he had seen in the Great Ruins in his past life.

The others had no way to refute Jiang Chen’s explanation.

”Jiang Chen, it’s just too dark in here. Walking around in the pitch-black darkness... looking at this endless black, who knows when we’ll reach the end.”

”Why don’t we take out a Luminous Pearl? That way we can find the exit. We should leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible.”

Zhan Yang suddenly said this and was about to take out a Luminous Pearl as he spoke.

A Luminous Pearl could at least illuminate the darkness, allowing them to find their way out.

No one wanted to stumble around blindly in this darkness.

Although Zhan Yang’s idea was well-intentioned, Jiang Chen immediately and curtly stopped him.

”Absolutely do not take out a Luminous Pearl.”

”No, don’t take out anything that glows.”

He said this very seriously, his tone heavy.

After all, cold sweat had been beading on his forehead this whole time, and he couldn’t find a way out at the moment either.

But he understood one thing: there could be no light here.

”Why?”

JinLing asked again, curious.

Jiang Chen didn’t have time to explain.

”WHIMPER... WHIMPER... WHIMPER...”

Just then, a fit of whimpering cries suddenly came from the darkness.

The sound, abrupt in such darkness, was enough to make one’s scalp tingle and skin crawl.

The hair on the arms of Zhan Yang and the others nearly stood on end.

”What was that?”

Everyone’s expression tensed as they stared, somewhat horrified, into the darkness ahead.

”It’s a Ghost. You’ll find out soon enough. Remember, absolutely do not take out a Luminous Pearl.”

Jiang Chen repeatedly reminded the four of them.

Lu Beifeng was still injured, and Niu Tuo had been supporting him the whole way.

However, Lu Beifeng had medicine from a Golden Healing Pill, so he was recovering quickly and was gradually getting better.

Because the darkness here was so absolute, they couldn’t see anything in the distance at all.

Until, suddenly, they saw a glimmer of light appear in the distance.

Some of the Martial Cultivators who had previously been enslaved by Wen Shixuan had regained their freedom. To escape, they had taken out Luminous Pearls to light up the darkness.

They were trying to find a way out.

All at once, they heard a whimpering cry, like that of a baby, coming from the darkness.

In an instant, the hair on their bodies stood on end as they stared ahead.

The whimpering sound grew closer and closer.

Until, a few of them saw faint, eerie blue flames floating out of the darkness ahead.

Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared.

Then, their expressions changed drastically.

They cried out in alarm.

”What is that monster?”

”What in the world is that monster?”

They had no idea what the monster that had appeared before them was.

It was because the monster was glowing blue all over and floated in mid-air like a phantom.

It had arms and legs, and eyes, but it lacked a nose and mouth.

Because no one recognized this kind of monster, they all cried out in shock.

At the same time, everyone sensed that these blue monsters had no Cultivation fluctuations whatsoever.

They drifted leisurely toward them.

There were about three of them.

Soon, the phantom-like things were close to them.

”WHIMPER... WHIMPER... WHIMPER...”

The three eerie, blue-glowing monsters became excited upon seeing the group of people.

Soon, they pounced toward the crowd.

”No, run!”

Someone realized things were bad and tried to flee.

Someone even took out a Magical Treasure and attacked the approaching monster.

”SWOOSH!”

One of them slashed out with a sword.

He intended to split the monster in two.

But then something bizarre happened. The sword passed through the monster, yet it remained completely unharmed, as pristine as before.

It was almost as if the blade had just sliced through empty air.

The monster’s gaze turned vicious again. Seemingly enraged, it charged forward.
