âIf you canât come to me, then I shall go to you!â
That was Feng Qingâanâs simple idea. However, when he voiced this thought, which he hardly thought thoroughly about, even Donghuang, who was always calm and composed in the face of any situation, even facing a heavenly catastrophe, showed surprise. She looked down at Feng Qingâan.
âYou want to follow me to the underworld?â
âWhat? No? The environment is a bit harsh, but Iâve already adapted to it.â
Ordinary people who set foot in the underworld donât just have to worry about being targeted by underworld ghosts. Even if they just inhale some Yin Qi, they canât last long before they will turn into one of the ghost creatures.
Feng Qingâan has already contracted with the Blazing Sun Tree. The Yin Qi in the underworld poses no harm to him. On the contrary, to a certain extent, it can be converted into nourishment for him, just like the Spiritual Qi floating in the human realm.
âThe difference between the underworld and the human realm isnât just about whether you can adapt or not.â
At this moment, Donghuangâs gaze was deep, and her expression was extremely serious.
If it werenât for her fatherâs arrangement that transformed her into a Yin Spirit, she would never have chosen to cultivate in the underworld. Now, only the underworld is most suitable for her.
Feng Qingâan in the human realm is like a fish back in water. But now he proposed to follow her to the underworld for cultivation. Although the underworld environment poses no significant obstacles for his cultivation, the underworld is fundamentally different from the human realm.
Even the weakest ghost creatures there will devour each other. There is no order there, let alone a soil where human ethics and morality can take root. In the underworld, there is only the naked survival of the fittest.
Her Ghost Nation might seem decent, but thatâs all because of her presence. She suppresses the entire territory with her absolute strength, making all the ghosts obedient. Even if there are great monks from the human realm preaching in the capital, no ghost dares to try their flesh and blood.
But as long as there is a slight problem with her, a horrific backlash will occur, just like not long ago. Even just a rumor of her declining strength could cause a rebellion inside and outside the country before it was verified.
âWhat else is there?â
Feng Qingâan did not give up. Compared to the human realm where he was often disturbed, he was more interested in You Huang Ghost Country. He had seen it through Black Mountainâs eyes many times, but he had never been there personally.
âYou have not yet witnessed the brutality and cruelty of ghosts. Even if we were in the underworld, I cannot always stay by your side. Even I can be negligent sometimes.â
Since Donghuang had never considered taking Feng Qingâan to the underworld, her reflexive response was opposition upon hearing Feng Qingâanâs desire to go with her for cultivation. Even with her current strength, she can fully ensure Feng Qingâanâs safety in the underworld.
However, the underworld is unpredictable, and horrifying events occur often. Compared to the human realm, the underworld is much more dangerous. She doesnât want to put Feng Qingâan at risk, even if the probability of running into a danger she canât handle is almost nil.
âJust because I took part in the imperial examination and am somewhat a Confucian scholar, doesnât mean Iâm helpless!â
Feng Qingâan couldnât help but laugh at Donghuangâs words. đ§đđźđźđđđŁđŻâŽđŁđŠđ”.đžâŽđ
âEven if I go to the underworld and you leave me alone, I wonât die immediately.â
âIf you possess power that can compete with the Ghost King, I can take you to the underworld for cultivation.â
Seeing Feng Qingâanâs persistence, Donghuang also took a step back and made a clear request.
The power one can master is the real cornerstone to stand between heaven and earth. If you have enough strong power, even so-called forbidden zones can be treaded upon at ease.
Though in the underworld, there are even more terrifying existences. Even Donghuang is still careful and cautious. However, in any case, the Ghost King can be considered as common high-level strength in the underworld. Those above it are unlikely to be encountered in normal scenarios unless one is incredibly unlucky.
âCompete with the Ghost King?â
This level of strength, it is equivalent to having the power of a monarch. If he were a cultivator, this would put him at the level of core formation. Of course, even among those who achieve the status of a Yuan Dan, there are different levels.
Those who form a top three golden pill can be called immortals, and those who achieve the Law Body image ahead of time and are almost certain to break through and join the ranks of Human Immortals can be called superior immortals.
Leaving Donghuang aside, Feng Qingâan doesnât have anyone around who could compete with a Ghost King. Whether itâs Black Mountain or Sen Miao, even the slightly superior Minglong, they are at best a bit better.
Because this creature can use the power of the divine weapon to launch a strike that can threaten a monarch. But itâs limited by its low spirit power. It canât maintain this level of combat at all. It is a matter of life and death at the touch of a button, either you die, or I live.
Obviously, this is not the range Donghuang is considering. What she referred to when mentioning power to compete with a Ghost King must be the regular expression of power, emitting force anytime, anywhere.
âItâs a bit of a hassle!â
After contemplating for a moment, Feng Qingâan muttered. The strongest under his command now are Minglong, Sen Miao, and Black Mountain. They all have the potential to be promoted to monarchs, but they need time to tap into their potential.
This time, for the big demons who usually have hundreds to thousands of years of lifespan, is naturally short. But for Feng Qingâan, a Beast Master, it seems a bit long.
âWhy are you in such a hurry? Wait for me to finish reading these Dao Sutras, then it wonât be too late to make a decision.â
Seeing Feng Qingâan start thinking about how to meet the requirements to accompany her to the underworld, Donghuang gave him a sidelong glance and said somewhat helplessly.
