Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Soul Condensing Tree, Entering Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss

Buzz!

The panel trembled, and a lot of yellow light surged.

Following that,

Lines of text appeared:

[1: In an underground cave at Ghostly Wail Ridge in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss lies a Soul Condensing Tree. Consuming the fruit of the Soul Condensing Tree can give birth to Divine Sense.]

[2: In the ancient battlefield of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, there is a piece of Profound Iron buried underground. This Profound Iron is inscribed with a Ghost Cultivator Earth-Tier Technique.]

[3: Your Spirit Pet Xiaoqing will awaken another Bloodline Technique after breaking through to Tier One Peak.]

[4: A month later, Meizhen plans to purchase a Snow Cloud Chicken from the marketplace to mate with a Fire Cloud Chicken. After hybridizing, the Snow Cloud Chicken will lay an egg, which will successfully hatch a chick.]

[5: The child in your wife Liuu Meizhen’s womb will take a full twelve months to be born. When the child arrives, a celestial phenomenon will occur.]

”Stop the exchange!”

Fu Changsheng was both shocked and delighted to see that a celestial phenomenon would occur when his child was born. By calculation, Meizhen was currently eight months pregnant, and since the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss event would last for three months, he would be able to witness his child’s birth upon his return.

After calming down,

He continued to read the earlier information:

”Oh, there’s actually a Soul Condensing Tree!”

The Soul Condensing Tree is a Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Tree that grows in areas rich in Yin Qi.

As the information showed,

Consuming the Soul Condensing Fruit can give a certain chance of developing Divine Sense.

Once Divine Sense is condensed,

It indicates that he has taken the first crucial step in completing one of the three great Foundation Establishment Gates:

”I must acquire this Soul Condensing Fruit.”

At the same time, the Profound Iron in the ancient battlefield would be a perfect find if he could locate it.

Autumn Cicada had already broken through to Tier One Late Stage, but due to a lack of systematic Cultivation Technique, she had not yet learned any Magic, unlike Xiaoqing, who could activate Bloodline Techniques.

Of course,

The information also mentioned the Cangming Stone in the Kuisang Forest, which is the primary task for entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, as it is crucial for building the Spirit Testing Platform in the clan.

Having exchanged for five pieces of information,

The panel showed that only twenty-eight Clan Contribution Points remained.

The Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss is extremely perilous,

So he planned to save them for later use, as he would be staying in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss for three months.

He opened the door.

Upon reaching the conference hall,

He saw that everyone had already arrived earlier.

Meizhen’s belly was already protruding, her gaze landing on Fu Changsheng, with joy flashing across her face:

”Congratulations, my lord, on breaking through to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.”

Upon these words,

Everyone present showed smiles of joy.

Fu Changsheng was indeed the only one in their clan who had broken through to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, a fact that naturally brought delight.

Fu Changsheng glanced at everyone, his face full of smiles too.

Not only him but Molan had successfully broken through to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, and the fourth sister had broken through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, only the eldest brother remained at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

Before setting out,

Liuu Meizhen handed Fu Changsheng a Hundred Treasures Pouch:

”My lord, take this Spirit Stone with you. When you reach the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, if you encounter a Loose Cultivator willing to exchange Soul Crystals, trade with them. Regardless of the competition result, even one more Soul Crystal means more Court Merit Points for our Fu Family.”

Trading Spirit Stones for Soul Crystals,

Fu Changsheng had not thought of this:

”You are indeed thoughtful, Meizhen.”

Leaving from Luofeng Mountain,

Fu Changsheng piloted the Flying Ship, taking his eldest brother, fourth sister, and Molan directly out of Nanyang County.

Located to the north of Jingzhou, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss was guarded at the entrance by clan members from six Ninth-Grade Noble Families of the Jingzhou South Huai Prefecture. Upon Fu Changsheng’s arrival, the Lei Family and Wu Family had already been waiting for some time, with the Liuu Family and Zhang Family soon arriving in quick succession.

When the Five Great Families met,

The atmosphere was evidently tense.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the Zhang Family’s camp, led by an Elder Zhang, noting that the Patriarch Zhang Huanzhi was unexpectedly absent. Apart from Elder Zhang, who had a Peak Qi Cultivation, there were two family members at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, and another at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

In terms of overall strength, they could be said to significantly overpower the Fu Family.

”Hmph!”

A cold snort sounded,

And it was Zhang Huansheng, one of the Zhang Family members at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, glaring icily at Fu Changsheng.

The calamity of the Pork Spirit Beast,

The deceased Array Master Zhang Huanliu of the Zhang Family was Zhang Huansheng’s elder brother.

The enmity of a slain brother is irrevocable!

Zhang Huansheng’s sole purpose for entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss this time, at any cost, was to tear Fu Changsheng to pieces, allowing his brother to rest in peace under the nether world.

Elder Zhang sensed something unusual, turned his head to glare at Zhang Huansheng warningly, and quickly transmitted his voice:

”Huansheng, remember this, the utmost priority of entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss this time is to win the championship of the Noble Family Grand Competition. Once inside, no matter what happens, the four of you must regroup immediately, and don’t act on impulse, understood?”

”Yes, Elder.”

Zhang Huansheng lowered his eyes, but the hatred in his gaze showed no sign of diminishing.

The Fu Family and Zhang Family were at daggers drawn.

The Lei Clan Leader was obviously very satisfied with this outcome, the smile on his face grew even more sincere:

”Since everyone is here, let’s go to the Task Hall to register.”

There was a two-story building at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

The stewards inside all hailed from the Six Ninth-Grade Noble Families of Jingzhou South Huai Prefecture.

Upon entering the Task Hall, many wanted posters were pinned on a bulletin wall, and there were quite a few loose cultivators coming and going, as well as many Qi Cultivation Clans from all over Jingzhou who had come to hunt.

After all.

To be promoted to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family,

One must accumulate enough Merit Points, and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss is one of the few avenues to earn Merit Points.

Fu Changsheng felt a gaze resting on his face, turned his head to see that it was Granny Yu, the elder of the Yu Family from Pingshan County.

Their eyes met.

Granny Yu nodded kindly to him and moved her gaze away.

Fu Changsheng was a bit puzzled; he recalled having no interaction with the elder of the Yu Family.

On the other side,

Elder Zhang seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with the Qiuo Family from Pingshan County, occasionally glancing in his direction.

Fu Changsheng led his people to the registration desk on the left side of the Task Hall.

The steward glanced at the attire on Fu Changsheng and the four others, pointing to a position to the side:

”Cultivators from Anyang County, find Steward Yui for registration.”

Steward Yui was from the Shangguan Family.

He routinely announced:

”Remember, upon entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, all Soul Crystals obtained from slaying Ghost Soldiers must be handed in in full. Anyone found concealing them will face a hundredfold fine.”

”Additionally,”

”One Court Merit Point requires respectively slaying thirty Tier One Early-Stage Ghost Soldiers, twenty Tier One Middle-Stage Ghost Soldiers, ten Tier One Late-Stage Ghost Soldiers, and one Tier One Peak Ghost Soldier.”

”Of course,”

”If you have the skill to slay a Tier Two Ghost General, you can directly earn ten Court Merit Points.”

”Besides Merit Points, one Tier One Low-grade Soul Crystal can also be exchanged for ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

”Entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, life and death are decided by fate.”

”There are many wanted posters on the bulletin wall, take a good look. If you spot any infiltrators in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, you can kill them and bring their heads to claim a bounty.”

”Those who understand can go in now.”

This was Fu Changsheng’s first time here, and he carefully remembered the rules in his heart.

He took an extra look at the list of bounties on the bulletin wall.

He was surprised to find that the bounty for the one named Ouyang Fei at the top reached as high as eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Shangguan Yui saw this and added:

”Ouyang Fei was supposedly killed by the Ping Family fifteen years ago, but cultivators entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss claim to have seen him inside. Whether he is human or ghost, you might find out. Providing true leads, Ping Family will offer a generous bounty.”

For someone to be worth a bounty of eight thousand Spirit Stones by a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, he must not be an ordinary person. Fu Changsheng looked more intently, planning to stay as far away as possible upon encountering this person after entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

After registration, individuals chose their designated areas and waited.

The number reached over a hundred.

Only then did Shangguan Yui lead them to the entrance, where six Foundation Establishment cultivators from different families stood guard.

After a few words from Shangguan Yui.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, who had been meditating, nodded slightly, and then spells were cast on the stone wall behind them, from which thousands of Spirit Light surged forth, revealing a rhombic prism.

The other end of the prism was filled with Ghost Qi.

Shangguan Yui hurriedly said:

”The passage is open, go ahead. Remember that if you’re not out in three months, you will have to wait until the next round.”

That is, half a year later.

Moreover, within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, you are constantly harassed by Yin Qi.

One who can endure half a year inside must be extraordinary.

Several loose cultivators were the first to rush into the rhombic prism.

Elder Zhang glanced at the four from the Fu Family, then, in a flash, led the Zhang Family’s cultivators inside.

When it was Fu Changsheng’s turn.

He suddenly received a message from Shangguan Yui:

”Miss Hongyu asked me to tell you that after entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, try to find a place to hide in the last month. That’s when the real hunting begins.”

Fu Changsheng’s body shook, and after a quick thought, he understood. In the end, they would fight each other to seize others’ Soul Crystal spoils.

What surprised him was that Miss Hongyu had paid attention to his entry into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, touching his heart.

Taking a deep breath,

he had his fourth sister and the others hold onto a red rope, and the four of them simultaneously entered the rhombic prism.
