Chapter 1162: Ghost King Cave

The Iron Arm Spirit Monkey's strength increased so quickly because the magic pill and blood essence of the ninth-level demon beast that Qingyang had hunted in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave had not been used up. The energy inside was too amazing. Even if a lot of it was wasted when using it, the remaining was enough to push his cultivation to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

After watching the changes in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, he opened the defense formation and left the temporary cave. This retreat lasted for nearly eight years. He didn't know what the situation was like outside. Qingyang paused, jumped into the air, and went directly to the depths of Qingmang Mountain.

After breaking through the Golden Core realm, cultivators can fly directly in the air without the help of external objects. It is very similar to the principle of the Foundation Establishment period, but one is to use divine thoughts and true essence to drive external objects, and the spiritual tool carries the body to fly, and the other is to directly control the body to fly.

Because cultivators need to consume more divine thoughts and true essence to fly directly in the air, foundation-building cultivators do not have this ability. Only those with a cultivation level above the Golden Core can do it, but it is only for short-distance flights. If the distance is too far, flying directly is too energy-consuming. It is better to control the spiritual tool.

Of course, this is also related to the cultivator's cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the flying ability. If the cultivation reaches a certain level, the little spiritual thoughts and true essence consumed by flying in the air can be ignored for them, and then there is no need to worry about whether to use flying spiritual tools.

The cave where Qingyang is located is not far from the depths of Qingmang Mountain. Qingyang is too lazy to sacrifice the wind-controlling gourd, so he just flies forward in the air. In addition, he also wants to see how capable he is in this aspect. After breaking through the golden elixir, he either has not recovered his strength or is practicing in seclusion. He has hardly tried his ability to fly in the air and how long he can last.

Qingyang came all the way to the valley deep in Qingmang Mountain. It took him almost two hours to travel hundreds of miles, which is more than a hundred miles per hour, much slower than the speed when driving the wind-controlling gourd. It seems that he still needs to use the wind-controlling gourd for long-distance travel in the future.

Arriving above the valley, Qingyang saw the changes in the entire valley at a glance. In the middle of the valley, a magnificent building appeared at some point. The tall palaces were endless, and it was almost impossible to see the end. It was much more magnificent than the previous buildings in Qingmang Mountain.

No need to guess, this building must have been built for the One-horned Ghost King. From the appearance, it has been built for at least six or seven years. It seems that it has not been long since he retreated, and this building has been built. Qingmang Jushi is worthy of being the person who can host the Qingmang Mountain meeting. He has a good ability to do things.

Qingyang lived in the Wuliang Mountain Forbidden Land for a period of time, and he has also seen other buildings in Qingmang Mountain, which are at least one or two grades lower than here. This place is very suitable for the One-horned Ghost King as his cave.

Qingyang landed in front of the cave of the One-horned Ghost King. The guards who were guarding the gate had already come to greet him. When they saw Qingyang, they hurriedly welcomed him in. Not to mention the entire Fallen Ghost Abyss, at least on Qingmang Mountain, Qingyang's status was very transcendent, only below the One-horned Ghost King, and no one dared to neglect him.

The One-horned Ghost King had just not been in seclusion recently, so he met Qingyang in the hall. Seeing the One-horned Ghost King's cultivation, Qingyang couldn't help but be shocked. In just over seven years, the One-horned Ghost King's cultivation had already been raised to the ninth level of the Golden Core. I'm afraid it won't take a few years for him to impact the Nascent Soul Realm.

Qingyang used more than seven years to raise his cultivation by two levels. Before he came, he was a little complacent. Now compared with the One-horned Ghost King, he immediately pales in comparison. From the sixth level of the Golden Core to the ninth level of the Golden Core, the One-horned Ghost King did not just break through the third level, because there was a small bottleneck in the middle, and it was much more difficult to improve the cultivation in the late stage of the Golden Core than in the early stage of the Golden Core.

But thinking about it again, it seems reasonable. The situation of the One-Horned Ghost King is different from Qingyang. Qingyang is practicing for the first time and has no experience to learn from, while the One-Horned Ghost King is a ghost who is practicing heavily. He was a Yuanying cultivator three hundred years ago, but because of some special reasons, only a trace of soul was left. After taking the body of the Golden Core Evil Spirit, he needed to improve his cultivation.

Therefore, the Yuanshen realm of the One-Horned Ghost King has not changed. What needs to be improved is only the ghost body that has been re-refined. This is the easiest thing for the One-Horned Ghost King. In addition, there is no shortage of Nether Stones now, so it is normal that his cultivation speed is faster than Qingyang.

Even so, the One-Horned Ghost King deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed, worried that his strength would increase too quickly and cause an unstable foundation. In addition, the Nether Stones are not enough. If the One-Horned Ghost King does not control it, the Nether Stones can keep up, and at this time, he may be able to touch the threshold of the Yuanying.

Seeing Qingyang, the One-horned Ghost King smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. My friend, you have improved a lot. When you were at the second level of Jindan, you could kill a cultivator at the fifth or sixth level of Jindan. Now that you have broken through to the middle level of Jindan, I'm afraid that few cultivators at the late stage of Jindan can trap you."

The One-horned Ghost King's words were a little exaggerated, but they were not much different from Qingyang's estimation. With his current strength, he can almost be invincible when facing a cultivator at the ninth level of Jindan. Even if he encounters a cultivator with perfect Jindan, even if he can't beat him, he still has a certain ability to protect himself.

Qingyang said, "This is all thanks to Senior Ghost King. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of seclusion for another ten years. Besides, how can my achievements compare with those of the seniors?"

After hearing Qingyang's words, the One-horned Ghost King laughed and said, "You even saved my life. Let's not talk about yours and mine. It's a pity that you still have things to do. Otherwise, wouldn't it be free and easy to stay with me in this Fallen Ghost Abyss and be a local emperor?"

Qingyang sighed: "Yes, although this Fallen Ghost Abyss has many restrictions, it is a unique place, rarely disturbed by outside cultivators, and such a large area is almost not much smaller than the Jiuzhou Continent, it is indeed possible to live in a corner and be a local emperor. But if you stay in such a place for a long time, you will gradually become content with the status quo and lose your fighting spirit, and your future achievements may not be too great."

The One-Horned Ghost King nodded and said: "It's good that you can think of this. For us, this Fallen Ghost Abyss can only be a temporary place to stay, but we can't stay in it for a long time. Sooner or later, I will have to go back to the Ten Kings Palace, which is where I should go. If Qingyang finishes his work early, he can also find me in the Ten Kings Palace deep in the Netherworld."

"Okay, no matter whether I can find a way to save Yu Mengmiao in the Ghost Valley, I will go to the Ten Kings Palace and I will definitely help with the ghost king's matter." Qingyang said.

Qingyang and the One-horned Ghost King have been together for decades, but in fact they have not had much time to communicate with each other. Most of the time, the One-horned Ghost King stays in the Soul Gathering Flag and only comes out when Qingyang is in danger. However, the relationship between the two is very deep.
