"What is the Ghost Emperor?" The old man sweeping the floor put down his broom and looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen didn't hide anything and directly told the old man about the events in the Seventh Division and also the story of the Ghost Ship.
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "The Ghost Emperor is the ruler of the Ghost Path, controlling all the lives of the Ghost Path and is the strongest existence of the Ghost Path.
The origin of the Ghost Emperor is a mystery. Some say he is a creature from the chaos era and gradually cultivated to become the master of the Ghost Path.
Some say he is the product of the grievances of all the creatures who have died in the past millions of years, living with the heaven and earth and immortal. "
Long Chen was shocked. He had never heard of such a terrible existence before. A species from the chaos era? Immortal?
"Why would such a terrifying existence plant a mark on me?" Long Chen asked in surprise.
"Because he encountered an even more terrifying existence and fought with it. He broke the flesh god and cut off the primordial spirit. Even an immortal existence suffered severe damage.
In order to quickly recover his body, his subordinates would secretly look for some powerful geniuses and plant the Ghost Emperor's mark on them.
When these geniuses grow to a certain level and are swallowed by the heart demon, they will become the Ghost Emperor's puppet and eventually return to the Ghost Realm and become part of the Ghost Emperor's body.
Unlike others, you were not planted, but you were contaminated with karma and condensed into the Ghost Emperor's mark. " The old man replied.
"Broken flesh and primordial spirit by a more terrifying existence?" Long Chen's heart was pounding. What kind of existence could defeat the master of the Ghost Path?
"You are so smart, you should be able to guess." The old man smiled slightly.
Long Chen suddenly felt that his breath had stopped. He looked shocked and said, "Could it be...?"
"Karma is sometimes very mysterious. No one can tell who can kill him in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Although the Ghost Emperor is said to be immortal, he is not absolutely immortal.
If the Nine Star Lord had the Chaos Weapon in his hands at that time, the Ghost Emperor would have perished. The only thing that can kill him is the original chaos power in the Chaos Weapon.
The Nine Star Lord made him angry and after that battle, he never made any sound again. "
As the Nine Star inheritor, you have crashed into the ghost ship with his soul mark and eventually formed the Ghost Emperor Mark. However, you don't have to worry, since you are not at the level of the Boundary King, he won't be able to find you as there are too many Ghost Emperor Marks. The old man said.
Long Chen then realized how terrifying the master of Nine Star Lord was. He almost killed the Ghost Emperor. Long Chen's heart was in turmoil for a long time.
"Senior, if the master of Nine Star Lord is so powerful, why did he eventually fall?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"This is something that you, as the Nine Star inheritor, need to figure out for yourself. All I can tell you is that the most dangerous thing in the world is human nature." The old man said and continued to sweep the floor.
Long Chen knew that the old man didn't want to continue talking, obviously he knew a lot, but this was all he could say.
Through his journey of cultivation up to today, Long Chen realized how terrifying cause and effect was. People must be careful with their words and actions, otherwise they may end up harming others. Even the strong must have a sense of awe.
Long Chen also inferred from the bits and pieces in his mind and the clues he had experienced that his future path would not be smooth.
However, the huge pressure also stimulated Long Chen's infinite fighting spirit.
"Life is like an ant, with the ambition of a swan. Life is fragile, and one should have an unyielding heart. My destiny is in my own hands, and I must walk my own path." Long Chen clenched his fist. He knew that he had been caught up in a huge vortex, and was now slowly approaching its center.
He still had time. He must make himself stronger and accumulate more resources to face the challenges of the future.
When Long Chen returned to the Seventh Courtyard, everyone except Bai Shi Shi was in a coma. The elders of the Tian Book College were very busy, constantly feeding these disciples with soul calming drugs. These were due to the great pain they had endured, their bodies could withstand it, but their souls could not, resulting in madness.
The Soul Night allowed them to repair their damaged souls in their dreams, while the elders used their soul techniques to enter their dreams and guide their souls, so as to avoid them from having any mental demons.
Long Chen returned to his domain room and took out five lotus seeds of the Demon Eye Sleep Lotus. These were fourth-grade Demon Eye Sleep Lotus, the same grade as Long Chen.
He took out the cauldron and carefully refined the lotus seeds into powder. Long Chen did not dare to use the Demon Moon Furnace and instead used the Fusion Moon Refining Star Furnace because he had more experience with it and it was more reliable with a lower failure rate.
Long Chen was going to refine the Purple Que Dan. Just these materials were worth a fortune, especially some of the spiritual medicines produced by monsters and spirit beasts which could not be cultivated, so Long Chen could not be as wasteful as before.
Demon Dragon's Pupil, Blood Bat's Tooth, Deep Sea Teng Snake Gallbladder, and Purple Mink's Blood Essence... one precious medicine after another was extracted and Long Chen was completely focused and did not dare to be careless.
Just for purifying the medicine, Long Chen took a whole day, as the mental pressure was too great and he had to rest for an hour before he started refining the pill.
The five-colored powder of the Demon Eye Sleep Lotus was the first to be put into the cauldron. It was the main medicine and all other medicines had to be under its control.
When the flames rose, the various precious medicines were fused into the cauldron and colorful clouds appeared in the cauldron. At the same time, the runes on top of the cauldron started to light up automatically.
"What a terrifying power, the cauldron's self-defense runes are being forced to open." Long Chen was chilled to the bone. This was only the beginning and the cauldron was already alert and automatically activated its defense.
As the powder was fused into the cauldron, the five-colored clouds started to become restless and kept crashing into the cauldron.
Fortunately, this cauldron was not an ordinary one but a Heaven Night Furnace. If it was the previous ordinary king-grade cauldron, Long Chen would have had to give up.
Just at the beginning, there was already such a commotion. If the cauldron was not strong enough, it would not be able to withstand it.
"Boom!"
When almost a thousand kinds of pills were put into the cauldron, one could see that the five-colored clouds in the cauldron condensed into five torrents, like giant dragons rolling and raging, and the cauldron made a loud boom.
"Now I can have some fun."
Feeling the overwhelming power in the cauldron, Long Chen was both nervous and excited.
