Chapter 1041

Gu Zheng was leaving again, which made Huo Dao Ren very worried.

He already knew that the demons had attacked the human race. Although no Daluo Jinxian had intervened yet, once a few Daluo Jinxian came, they would not be able to resist and might be wiped out.

But even he could not refuse the reason why Gu Zheng wanted to leave.

Gu Zheng was actually going to the underworld. All the cultivators knew the existence of the underworld, but now was not the prehistoric world of the future. The underworld was directly conquered by the immortals of the human race and became a subsidiary territory of the prehistoric world. At this time, the underworld was still a world of its own, and all the ghosts lived in it.

Under the underworld, it was said that there was an even worse environment, the Asura world.

At this time, the prehistoric immortals had no impression of the underworld. They only knew that it was a place with a bad environment, where the dead souls and reincarnations were located. The powerful immortal souls would not enter the underworld. For them, it was a strange place.

When the cultivation reaches the level of Golden Immortal, the soul can leave the body freely. At this time, the immortal will be destroyed when he dies, and will not enter the underworld. However, for the immortals in the realm of heavenly immortals, because the soul and soul are not completely integrated, after being killed, the soul will still enter the underworld.

Gu Zheng wants to go to the underworld to find the dead souls of Wu You and others.

Finding their dead souls can either settle them in the underworld or bring them back and find a suitable body to take over and cultivate again. The body after taking over is definitely not as good as the original one, and it is difficult to make progress, but at least it can be reborn and resurrected.

However, taking over a body is against the harmony of heaven, and Gu Zheng did not think of letting them take over a body. Even if they become ghosts, it is not bad to be a ghost cultivator. Gu Zheng has many good ghost cultivation methods in his hands, but without a physical body, there is no hope of becoming a saint in the future.

For Wu You and others, becoming a saint has never been thought of at all. Ghost cultivation can allow them to cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm. Except for the lack of a physical body, everything else is the same, which seems to be a good result.

Gu Zheng did not tell Huo Dao Ren about these things. After giving the order, he left.

Lan Huo was left behind by Gu Zheng. He was a demon clan. If a large clan really invaded, he could play a role. If Lan Huo could not play a role, then let Lan Huo take them away and save themselves first.

Lan Huo was happy and worried about the departure of Gu Zheng and Tao.

The happy thing was that Gu Zheng and his friends went to another world. Once they left the prehistoric world, the binding force of the master-servant contract on him would disappear. At that time, no one could restrict him whether he wanted to stay or leave.

The worry was that once Gu Zheng and his friends came back and knew that he had secretly escaped, they would definitely not forgive him. With the contract, he would become very unlucky at that time. At this time, he was worried about gains and losses and didn't know what to do.

Gu Zheng seemed to know that Lan Huo was not completely terrible, and he sent a message to Shen Gongbao. If possible, he asked Shen Gongbao to come back and help for a while. Shen Gongbao was different from Lan Huo. At this time, Shen Gongbao was still thinking about the human race.

After the explanation, Gu Zheng took Tao away directly. Huo Daoren watched them leave, and finally sighed, and respectfully invited Lan Huo into the city.

In any case, Lan Huo was a Daluo Jinxian, and his relationship with Tao had nothing to do with Huo Daoren. Huo Daoren knew that this was his predecessor, and it was enough for him to worship him as a predecessor.

Before entering the underworld, Gu Zheng had to make some preparations.

The underworld now was equivalent to a wild land, with only countless resentful spirits, no orthodox rule, and then there were mountains everywhere. Some powerful ghost cultivators, commanding one side, were a force.

Without the Ten Kings of Hell and Ksitigarbha, the underworld at this time was chaotic.

The underworld restricted Yang Qi. He and Tao were both pure Yang bodies, and entering the underworld would be more or less restricted. However, the two had high cultivation, and this restriction was nothing to them, but he still had to prepare more things to restrain ghosts.

After all, he went to the underworld to find the souls of Wu You and others. The underworld was very chaotic at this time, and it was so big that it was not easy to find people in such a place.

It didn't take much time to prepare these things. Three days later, Gu Zheng brought Tao to a critical point, ready to break the space and force his way into the underworld.

Gu Zheng had done this before and was quite familiar with it. Not long after, he and Tao successfully entered the underworld.

The underworld was dark, without sunlight, without the abundant immortal power of the prehistoric world, and full of dead air, which made Tao, who had just entered, extremely uncomfortable.

"The underworld is like this, let's go first!"

Gu Zheng explained briefly. Fortunately, he had experience in crossing boundaries and knew that other realms combined could not compare to the prehistoric world, so he didn't care much.

Since the underworld is a self-contained realm, the scope is naturally not small, but it is much smaller than the prehistoric world.

The underworld is the transit station for all the dead souls to reincarnate, especially the dead souls from the prehistoric world, who all have to go through the underworld, so there are many ghosts in the underworld. Some ghosts have reincarnated, but there are still many ghosts wandering in the underworld.

On the ground, dead souls occasionally looked up blankly and looked at Gu Zheng and Tao flying in the air.

Even if the underworld is smaller than the prehistoric world, it is much larger than ordinary places. With so many dead souls, it would take Gu Zheng and his two friends a thousand or ten thousand years to find them, so Gu Zheng must come up with a solution. The best way is to find more helpers to help him find them together.

Unlike later generations, all ghosts at this time were registered in the Ten Palaces. Those who were not registered were lonely ghosts and were to be eliminated regularly. The Yin soldiers in the underworld in later generations were very powerful and could fight against the heavenly soldiers.

However, because they had no physical bodies, they were just ghosts and were naturally at a disadvantage. Otherwise, such a great world would not be completely suppressed by a quasi-saint, and ten Daluo Jinxian would be the rulers.

Of course, the number of Daluo Jinxian in the underworld was definitely more than ten, but it was just in name.

Gu Zheng and Tao kept flying, landing on the ground from time to time, catching a few ghosts and asking for some information. Gu Zheng mainly asked what forces were nearby, the most powerful forces, and the forces with scale. If there were no scale, it would be useless for him to find them.

The method used by Gu Zheng was very simple, which was to recruit some scattered forces in the underworld and let them help him find people, so that the chance of finding them would be greater.

As for the safety of Wu You and others, Gu Zheng was not too worried at this time.

Although Wu You died, he was an immortal after all. His soul was much stronger than that of an ordinary person. Even if he went to the underworld, he was not a little ghost that could be easily manipulated. Moreover, there were more than one of them. There were three of them in total. If they united together, they would basically be fine unless they encountered a ghost with the strength of a Golden Immortal.

It is more difficult to cultivate ghosts than to cultivate humans. There are definitely Golden Immortals in the underworld, and there are also Golden Immortals of Daluo, but the number is not too large, far less than that of the prehistoric world. Unless they are particularly unlucky and happen to meet a strong person in the underworld and happen to have a grudge with them, otherwise they will be fine.

With their strength, even if there are powerful ghost cultivators, the idea of ​​recruiting them is definitely higher than killing them.

Seven days later, Gu Zheng finally found out about a force that made him a little satisfied. There was a ghost king called Yinshan in the vicinity of thousands of miles.

Ghost king is just a title in the underworld. Some ghost cultivators with the strength of Golden Immortal can be called ghost kings, and ghost cultivators with the strength of Daluo Jinxian may also be called ghost kings. It is just a title and cannot represent specific strength.

But a ghost cultivator with the strength of a celestial being would never dare to call himself a ghost king, as that would be a pure act of courting death in the underworld.

The Yinshan Ghost King, whose place of residence is called Yinshan, is said to have hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators under his command. He is very powerful and is the most powerful force nearby. Many ghost cultivators who want to cultivate are afraid of his existence.

A distance of thousands of miles is nothing to Gu Zheng and Tao.

Before reaching Yinshan, Gu Zheng saw the churning Yin Qi in the distance. There are indeed many ghosts here. Hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators are a bit exaggerated, but hundreds of thousands of ghosts are definitely nothing. Ghost cultivators refer to ghosts with certain strength, and ghosts are ghosts. The ghosts of mortals who have just died are also ghosts.

Gu Zheng and Tao did not hide themselves and rushed in directly.

The two were immortals, and they entered the underworld in the flesh. They carried Yang Qi on their bodies, and they were like the sun in the underworld. It was difficult not to be noticed, not to mention that they rushed over so swaggeringly.

"Who is it? Aren't you ghost cultivators?"

Many ghosts flew up from Yinshan Mountain very quickly. Ghosts are different from cultivators in one respect. Ghosts have no physical bodies. Even if they don't cultivate, they can still float. After cultivation, they can easily fly, so even ordinary ghosts can fly in the underworld.

But they can only fly. If they want to fly quickly, they still have to cultivate to the level of heavenly immortals or above.

The ones flying up are a row of real ghost cultivators who have cultivated. Their strength is probably at the level of heavenly immortals. There are also a large number of ghosts following them. They are not ghost soldiers. At this time, there is no concept of ghost soldiers. No one in the underworld cultivates ordinary ghosts in the way of the army.

"We are looking for the Yinshan Ghost King!"

Gu Zheng directly explained his purpose. Seeing that Gu Zheng and the other two were not ghost cultivators, but had physical bodies, all the ghost cultivators showed vigilance and fear. This is the underworld, not other places. There are some ghost cultivators with physical bodies, but the number is very small. They are basically in the Asura Realm. Those Asuras have physical bodies, unlike them.

The big Asuras are not like this. Although they have physical bodies, they practice the Yin-type skills. These two people are not easy to mess with. The Yang energy on their bodies is strong, as if they can burn them to death as long as they get close.

"Who are you and what do you want from our king?"

Despite being alert, the ghost cultivator still asked again. Gu Zheng shook his head gently and continued, "You are not qualified to ask these questions. Let the Yinshan Ghost King come out immediately, otherwise you will regret it!"

Gu Zheng came to win over these forces, or in other words, to make them work for him temporarily. It is impossible to want others to work for him for nothing. He needs to establish his prestige and make these ghost cultivators afraid, so he is not polite at all.

"Wait a minute!" The ghost cultivator looked at Gu Zheng and asked his companions to inform his own king.

Gu Zheng stood there without moving. These were not the objects of his prestige, or in other words, the Yinshan Ghost King was not there, and the effect of his prestige was greatly reduced. He wanted to make the Yinshan Ghost King afraid, so that he could truly establish his prestige and make the Yinshan Ghost King listen to him.

If the Yinshan Ghost King would rather die than obey, then he would not mind replacing a ghost king here.

Not long after, another group of ghost cultivators flew up. This time, the leader had a stronger yin energy, a burly figure, and was holding a weapon.

Gu Zheng stared at him. This was a ghost cultivator with the strength of a golden immortal, and he had not yet reached the late stage, only the middle stage of cultivation, which made Gu Zheng a little disappointed.

"I am the younger brother of the Yinshan Ghost King. My elder brother is not here. Who are you and what do you want from my elder brother?"

The leading Golden Immortal Ghost Cultivator shouted loudly, and Gu Zheng frowned. He was not there. The Yinshan Ghost King was not there. The Golden Immortal mid-stage ghost cultivator who came out was just his younger brother.

The Yinshan Ghost King was not there, so Gu Zheng's plan had to be changed.

"Who is in charge here now? Is it you?"

Gu Zheng asked the ghost cultivator, and the burly ghost cultivator nodded. Gu Zheng didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "Very good, from now on, all the ghosts here are recruited. I need you to help me do things. If you do things well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do things well, you will all die!"

Gu Zheng said lightly, and the burly ghost cultivator was slightly stunned, then showed anger and screamed.

I don't know what he yelled, Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to him at all, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and an iron pen flew straight out, flew in front of the burly ghost cultivator, and stopped straight in front of his nose, and didn't move.

The voice of the burly ghost cultivator stopped abruptly, and he looked at the soul-catching reincarnation pen in front of him in horror.

This is the Samsara Pen that can directly hook out souls. It is an innate treasure. Ghost cultivators are originally in the state of souls. A slight touch from the Samsara Pen can make their souls fly away.

The Samsara Pen and the Book of Life and Death are a set. They should be controlled by Ksitigarbha in the future. As for the rumors in some places that there are Book of Life and Death and Samsara Pen in every hall of the underworld, that is not true. This is the Book of Man, the Book of Man among the three books of heaven, earth and man. There is only one book, and there is no semicolon. Such a treasure is absolutely impossible to be placed in the hands of a judge with ordinary cultivation.

The judge's hands should all be imitations.

Of course, this is just Gu Zheng's guess. In the future, he has never dealt with Ksitigarbha, and he doesn't know if the Book of Man is in his hands.

But now the Book of Man is in his hands. With the Book of Man, he is equivalent to the controller of the underworld. At the very least, he is an invincible existence in the underworld, and no one can hurt him.

"What do I say?"

Gu Zheng asked again. If the ghost cultivator dared to object again, Gu Zheng would hook him immediately. At this time, Gu Zheng did not need to negotiate with others.

"Sir, I listen to you, all of you!"

The burly ghost cultivator looked scary, but he was not very courageous. After Gu Zheng scared him, he immediately became timid and was willing to obey Gu Zheng's orders completely.

Gu Zheng didn't care whether he really listened or not, as long as he was willing to obey.

"I ask you, where did the Yinshan Ghost King go?"

Such a ghost cultivator can't control the entire Yinshan. The key is still the Yinshan Ghost King. If the Yinshan Ghost King is unwilling to obey, he will be supported to become the new Yinshan Ghost King. He can only be regarded as a spare tire.

"My eldest brother was invited by the Changshan Ghost King, Wenshan Ghost King and other kings to attend the banquet!"

The burly ghost cultivator said hurriedly. Attending the banquet, this result surprised Gu Zheng a little, and from what he said, it seemed that many ghost kings gathered together.

After asking carefully, Gu Zheng knew that there were eight ghost kings at the place where the Yinshan Ghost King was attending the banquet.

The eight ghost kings, all of them were in the late stage of the Golden Immortal, and were all the overlords nearby. Together, they had millions of ghost cultivators, and the area within millions of miles was their territory. The reason they gathered together this time was because the Changshan Ghost King had a new concubine and invited them to go.

The eight ghost kings, Gu Zheng smiled slightly, this was definitely a good thing for him, a great thing, he was just worrying about how to recover these scattered forces one by one, and let them mobilize their forces to find people for him, and these eight ghost kings got together.

It is better to recover eight at a time than to recover one.

"Lead the way, I'm going to the Changshan Ghost King now!"

Gu Zheng didn't even go down Yinshan, and directly asked the burly ghost cultivator to lead the way, and left Yinshan, leaving a group of ghost cultivators in a daze. The smart ones had already started to think of ways to send a message to their own king, the slightly dumber ones quietly followed, and the dumbest ones just stood there and did nothing.

The Changshan Ghost King was not far from the Yinshan Ghost King. Gu Zheng was very fast, and the burly ghost cultivator was slow, so Gu Zheng took him in and rushed in the direction.

Ghost cultivators have no physical bodies, so Gu Zheng prepared some things in advance to collect ghosts and take them away easily.

Changshan, where the Changshan Ghost King is located, is not named after Changshan, but because the Changshan Ghost King occupies this place, so this place is called Changshan.

The same is true in Yinshan, where all places are named after their bosses.

These ghost kings like to have a mountain character in their names, which makes Gu Zheng a little confused, but this is the custom of the underworld. Gu Zheng is not interested in finding out the details, let alone helping them change their names.

Changshan, they arrived quickly, and Gu Zheng did not stop this time, and went directly inside. As expected, there were lights and decorations inside, and a wedding banquet was being held.

"Who is it?"

"There is an enemy!"

"Someone broke in!"

Gu Zheng and Tao rushed in, causing chaos inside. Gu Zheng ignored them and rushed in. All the ghost cultivators who blocked their way were easily eliminated by them and turned into nothingness.

There is a hall in Changshan. There is a round table in the center of the hall. There are eight ghost cultivators sitting at the round table. When Gu Zheng arrived at the door of the hall, all eight ghost cultivators stood up and looked at Gu Zheng at the door.

Gu Zheng released the burly ghost cultivator. Among the eight ghost cultivators, one of them immediately shouted: "Second brother?"

"Brother, I'm sorry, they came to find you. I wanted to drive them away, but they were too strong. I could only bring them here to find you!"

The burly ghost cultivator seemed a little aggrieved, and hurriedly explained. After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Gu Zheng, fearing that Gu Zheng would get angry and kill him. He was not a ghost cultivator born and raised in the underworld, but also a ghost cultivator who practiced after death in the outside world. He did not want to die again.
