ng Zhang completed the entire sacrificial process honestly and displayed extre sincerity. As soon as he finished the ritual, there was an imdiate response in the area. ng Zhang deliberately chose a spacious and quiet room, and suddenly, a cold and bone-chilling yin wind blew in.
The chilling yin wind swept through, causing even the Gold Core cultivators present to shiver with cold. Though they had so anticipation beforehand, the speed of the response after the ritual was completed still greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Accompanying the yin wind, a small black hole suddenly appeared above ng Zhang's head. Within the black hole, it seed like a vortex was constantly spinning.
ng Zhang was montarily stunned, and then his inspiration was triggered, sensing a mysterious idea. He hesitated for a mont, glanced at the four Guardian Spirit Generals, and whispered, "Keep an eye on my physical body; I'll be back shortly."
With those words, ng Zhang sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and stabilized his consciousness. As he operated his cultivation thod, a vague shadow appeared above his head. If one looked closely, they would find that the appearance and form of this shadow were extrely similar to ng Zhang himself.
This was ng Zhang's Yin Spirit, which had just separated from his physical body. Even a cultivator in the early Foundation Building stage could easily achieve the separation of their Yin Spirit. As they progressed to the mid and late stages of Foundation Building or even the Gold Core stage, the Yin Spirit could wander freely and even possess other beings, which were basic abilities.
As for a Daoist Master in the Gold Core stage, the abilities of the Yin Spirit were even greater. They could travel great distances, manipulate objects, and bewilder spirits...
Of course, precisely because everyone knew this, when killing cultivators in the Foundation Building stage or Gold Core Daoist Masters, they would rember to eradicate the roots by destroying their Yin Spirits along with their physical bodies.
As long as one had not achieved the Primordial Spirit stage, regardless of their abilities, the Yin Spirit would beco very vulnerable after leaving the physical body. Not only could most of their abilities not be fully displayed, but they also had many weaknesses.
Therefore, it was generally unnecessary, and cultivators would not easily let their Yin Spirits leave their bodies.
When ng Zhang perford the ritual for that Ghost Deity earlier, he received a ssage from that Ghost Deity. The black hole before him was a passage leading to a certain place in the Netherworld.
The Ghost Deity invited ng Zhang to enter the passage and et with him in the Netherworld.
The Netherworld was a realm belonging to the Soul, and crossing the barriers between the two worlds with one's physical body was extrely difficult. Furthermore, if the physical body was not specially protected in the Netherworld, it would quickly weaken and decay.
From the ssage, ng Zhang did not sense any malice; instead, he felt a benevolence, sowhat like that of an elder.
He hesitated for a mont but chose to trust his own Spiritual Awareness and go to the Netherworld to et the Ghost Deity.
This Ghost Deity was most likely a senior from the Taiyi Sect, and ng Zhang had no grievances or enmities with him. He couldn't have gone to such great lengths just to lure and kill him, the Taiyi Sect Master.
ng Zhang's character had two sides: one was cold and ruthless, and the other was kind-hearted. Sotis he was indecisive and hesitant, while at other tis, he was overly impulsive, bordering on reckless.
ng Zhang was aware of the contradictions in his own character and had tried to analyze them. He had transmigrated to this world with mories from his past life. During his growth, he was influenced by his past mories while also needing to accept the various concepts and ways of survival in this world.
The most difficult thing for a person to change is their inherent nature, and ng Zhang knew that his character had its issues but was hard to change completely. Now, his impulsive side had the upper hand. He took the initiative to let his Yin Spirit leave his body and chose to believe that the Ghost Deity ant no harm.
After his Yin Spirit left his body, ng Zhang nodded slightly at the four Guardian Spirit Generals and then stopped hesitating, diving straight into the black hole above.
As ng Zhang's Yin Spirit spun within the vortex, he felt dizzy and almost completely lost consciousness. Faintly, he seed to enter a pitch-black tunnel and instinctively moved swiftly through it.
After an unknown period, ng Zhang's Yin Spirit finally regained its clear consciousness. He had arrived in a pitch-black space.
The space wasn't large, and darkness surrounded him on all sides. Fortunately, the Yin Spirit did not rely on eyesight, especially a Gold Core Daoist Master's Yin Spirit, which could extend Divine Sense to observe things more clearly than the eyes.
From ng Zhang's perception, this space was not stable and seed like it could collapse at any mont. Moreover, from the environnt, it was evident that this was no longer the mortal world.
His Yin Spirit felt incredibly comfortable here, as if it had found its true ho. There were strange forces perating the surroundings, continuously nourishing his Yin Spirit, and it was a feeling akin to being in yin qi, which ng Zhang was very familiar with from his experiences in the Trial Ground.So rich in yin qi, I'm afraid only the Netherworld could possess such a concentration.
As ng Zhang was observing his surroundings and lost in his thoughts, a dazzling golden figure suddenly descended from the sky and appeared before him. The intense golden light made ng Zhang's Yin Spirit feel very uncomfortable, and the imposing aura emanating from the figure was captivating, giving ng Zhang an impulse to kneel down and pay devout respects.
ng Zhang forcefully suppressed this urge and tried to remain calm. The golden figure seed to realize the situation and quickly restrained its aura, dimming the golden light considerably.
Through ng Zhang's Divine Sense, he perceived that this figure was composed purely of golden light.
"I, ng Zhang, pay my respects to the Honored Deity," ng Zhang respectfully bowed.
"We don't have much ti, let's skip the formalities," the figure said.
"This deity was once known as Shou Zheng within the Taiyi Sect and is now a deity in the Netherworld."
"Shou Zheng Honored Deity..." ng Zhang's words were interrupted by the Ghost Deity.
"This deity has said before, ti is limited. Spare the pleasantries and just listen to ."
"During the catastrophe that befell the Taiyi Sect, we Netherworld Ghost Deities were also affected due to our connections with the Taiyi Sect, and our fates were affected."
"There were many disciples in the sect who practiced the path of Ghost Deities, but few achieved true success. After the catastrophe, only a few survived."
"This deity narrowly escaped disaster but couldn't interfere with matters in the mortal world due to the separation of yin and yang."
"This deity worked hard to obtain so information about the mortal world. This deity has so understanding of Taiyi Sect's fate of being exterminated three tis."
"After Taiyi Sect fled to the Endless Sea of Sand, this deity observed them with a few spells. This deity sees your loyalty to the sect and appreciates it."
"When you perford the ritual for this deity last ti, this deity took the opportunity to infiltrate so power into the mortal world."
"This deity noticed your unique Soul and expended great effort to send you to the Trial Ground."
"You did not disappoint this deity, achieving such progress in just three hundred years."
ng Zhang obediently followed the instructions of this senior from the sect, listening without uttering a single word.
"Before the extermination of Taiyi Sect, the elders in the sect had foreseen it and laid down many asures. However, due to the strength of the opponent, most of these asures were ineffective and easily broken."
"Though I also have so asures here, you won't need them for now. Besides, my power is difficult to directly exert in the mortal world."
"This ti, when you perform the ritual for , what do you request?"
ng Zhang quickly and concisely stated his request at the fastest speed.
"I see. That old thing, Void Cauldron, always relies on seniority and now dares to disrespect even the Sect Master. Truly unruly."
"If he dares to appear before this deity, this deity will never spare him."
"Alright, this deity will give you a thod to communicate with the Netherworld and summon an apparition of this deity. When the ti cos, in front of Void Cauldron, summon this deity's apparition, and this deity will handle the matter."
As the golden figure spoke, they pointed with one hand, and a light point flew into ng Zhang's Yin Spirit.
"Originally, this deity should have helped you more. With the power of this deity's apparition, it could have resisted a Primordial Spirit initial stage cultivator. However, this deity also has major enemies to deal with in the Netherworld and cannot be too distracted, nor should too much power be expended in the mortal world."
"If you want to summon this deity's apparition to confront an enemy, you must prepare high-grade offerings to reduce the consumption of this deity's apparition's power in the mortal world."
"Alright, this deity cannot stay here for long, and the passage connecting the mortal world cannot exist for too long either."
"We will end our conversation here today. After you achieve the Primordial Spirit stage, we can talk in detail."
"Lastly, let remind you not to think that all Netherworld Ghost Deities are kind-hearted just because of this deity's attitude."
"When dealing with Netherworld Ghost Deities in the future, you must be cautious and never be as careless as you were today."
"Most Ghost Deities are cunning and have no good intentions towards the living. Those like this deity who can retain their true nature and still care for fellow sect mbers are only a few."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for ng Zhang's response, the golden figure waved their hand vigorously towards ng Zhang. Once again, he felt dizzy and entered a certain passage in a daze.
When he regained consciousness, his Yin Spirit had already left the black hole and returned to the quiet room.
ng Zhang's Yin Spirit returned to its dwelling, and he opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
At this mont, the black hole above his head had completely disappeared.
Facing the puzzled and concerned gazes of the four Guardian Spirit Generals, ng Zhang hesitated for a mont, then proactively shared everything he had seen and heard without withholding any details.
After listening to ng Zhang's account, the four Guardian Spirit Generals fell into silence. After a while, the most experienced Extre Sword Spirit General spoke first.
"I heard of the na Shou Zheng back when I was in the sect. He was a senior with great fa and formidable abilities in the sect during its heyday."
Extre Sword Spirit General referred to the Taiyi Sect at its peak. Since he rembered the na, this person who identified as Shou Zheng should undoubtedly be a senior figure in the sect.
After Extre Sword Spirit General spoke, the other Guardian Spirit Generals also joined the conversation. Although they hadn't heard of Shou Zheng as a senior, they found ng Zhang's experience convincing, and they felt that this senior was worth trusting.
