Chen Changsheng frowned and said, âIt was quite intimidating, but it didnât seem very powerful.â
He took a swipe at it with his palm.
The Heavenly Might behind him shattered instantly.
This level of Heavenly Might wasnât even one ten-thousandth of what he faced back in the Spirit Cage.
It felt a bit embarrassing.
âDing ding, ding dingâŠâ
A wind chime was ringing in the center of that Formation Array.
The Wandering Spirits from the Baleful Aura surged toward Chen Changsheng and solidified into spears, swords, and blades aimed at him.
Above the Formation Array, the Bone Bride saw clearly that Chen Changsheng had effortlessly crushed the Heavenly Might within it with just a palm.
Her heart skipped a beat, and a sudden chill crept up her spine.
Manyue suddenly spoke from Chen Changshengâs sleeve, âThat woman plans to run. Be careful.â
âDonât worry,â Chen Changsheng replied calmly.
She heard everything in her Formation Array.
That familiar voice sent a wave of fear through herâ
It was the Heavenly Dao!
How was it not destroyed?!
The Bone Bride beneath her red dress realized this man in blue robes was not as weak as he appeared.
He had been faking it all along!!
A bad feeling rose in her heart; she worried she might lose to someone beneath her.
Getting that Black Pagoda could elevate her status, but in current situation, she might lose her life.
She didnât want to gamble.
The Baleful Aura Wandering Spirits surrounded Chen Changsheng completely.
Seizing this chance, the Bone Bride decided to flee the scene.
âWhere are you heading, miss?â
A voice echoed right beside the Bone Brideâs ear.
This voice boomed like thunder, tearing at her Soul.
The Bone Bride under her dress let out a painful scream.
âBangâŠâ
A tremor shook the entire Formation Array.
Trees on the mountain slopes fell, and countless Baleful Aura Wandering Spirits shrieked horribly.
The Bone Bride turned to look.
A colossal figure loomed before her eyes.
A nearly hundred-foot high Divine Sense glared down at her.
That pressure from the Divine Sense nearly suffocated her breath!
Staring at this sight, the Bone Bride was utterly shockedâthis had defied all her expectations!
This was no ordinary Cultivator!!
She had never seen such an immense Divine Sense.
âWhat kind of person are you?!â
Chen Changsheng didnât answer; instead, the hundred-foot high Divine Sense stretched out a hand, opened its five fingers, and pressed down on the Bone Bride.
âCrash!â
The Bone Bride plummeted from mid-air, pinned under the Five-Finger Mountain formed by the Divine Sense.
In that split second, the Formation Array dissolved.
The dozens of Talismans ignited and turned to ash.
Chen Changsheng raised his hand; a strand of his hair transformed into Magical Power.
He flicked it gently, turning it into a small flower drifting toward the Bone Bride.
âCelestial Immortal, spare me!!â
She pleaded desperately as the flower floated to her.
Instantly, she was sucked inside it.
âCelestial Immortal! Celestial Immortal!â
Under such immense Soul Spirit pressure, she couldnât use any of her skills.
That voice faded, and everything in Heaven and Earth seemed to fall quiet.
âPlip.â
A raindrop fell quietly.
The small flower floated into Chen Changshengâs palm.
He glanced at it briefly and tucked it away in his sleeve.
âThat Formation Array was quite powerful.â
Chen Changsheng couldnât help thinkingâif this Wind Water Immortal had his former skills, maybe he could truly fight him.
âDing ding~â
Another wind chime landed in Chen Changshengâs palm.
âA decent Magical Artifact.â
Chen Changsheng stored it away in his sleeve too.
âSplashâŠâ
Light rain began to fall from the sky.
At the foot of the mountains, countless Wraiths woke up bewildered.
They stared blankly around them, confused, not knowing how they got there.
âWhere is this?â
âAm I dead?â
âThis place isâŠâ
Tens of thousands of Wraiths looked dazed with doubt.
Chen Changsheng glanced down.
He had intended to direct them toward the nearest City God Temple but reconsidered.
An idea popped into his mind.
âPlease listen to me,â a voice carried down from the mountaintop.
Their eyes turned toward him.
âYou were all controlled by a Demonic Cultivator earlier.
Now he has been dealt with.
You have your freedom back.
By the rules of the universe, you should enter the City God Temple.
If you cross to Yellow Springs, you might have another life.
I have a big request now.â
âI, Chen Changsheng, wish to build the Underworldâs Reincarnation.
But I lack people.
Would you all stay with me for now?
Once the Underworld is made, you can become Ghost Soldiers.
Of course, if you donât want to, I wonât pressure you.
Feel free to head to the nearby City God Temple.â
The crowd below looked up, lost in thought.
âDid you save us?â
Chen Changsheng replied, âYou could say so.â
The Wraiths hesitated; many felt wary, trusting just words was hard.
âWhat is the Underworld?â
âThe Land of the Dead.â
Chen Changsheng scanned the crowd and said, âTake your time to decide.â
As he spoke, many had already started leaving.
Of nearly twenty thousand Wraiths, over five thousand left in an instant.
More trickled away afterward.
Only about ten thousand remained.
Chen Changsheng flung twelve Blood Beads from his sleeve.
After cleansing them with Magical Power, he told the crowd, âYou may dwell within these Blood Beads for now.â
Manyue spoke from his sleeve, âYou had everything planned all along.â
Chen Changsheng replied, âIt just avoids hassle later.â
Manyue fell silent.
Within half an hour, nearly ten thousand Wraiths entered the Blood Beads.
They would form part of the Underworldâs foundation.
He was about to leave when a figure flew in from afar.
The Old Dragon King landed on the mountain.
His eyes fixed on Chen Changsheng as he said, âWhy are you here?â
He seemed slightly surprised by Chen Changshengâs presence.
Chen Changsheng replied, âJust dropped by for a look.â
âThe nearby City God Temple was flooded with Wraiths, so I followed them out.
To my surprise, it was you.â
The Old Dragon King eyed Chen Changsheng and asked, âDid you catch that Evil Spirit?â
Chen Changsheng nodded, âI caught him already.â
The Old Dragon King asked, âHow? That Evil Spirit had strange tricks, able to alter landscapesâa Divine Ability.
I nearly caught him multiple times, but he slipped away each time.â
âAlter landscapes?â
Chen Changsheng thought briefly and said, âDragon Lord, this may be a misunderstanding.
That Evil Spirit couldnât alter landscapes.â
âWhat thenââ
âA Wind Water Immortal.â
The Old Dragon King frowned at those words; it didnât ring a bell in his mind.
Chen Changsheng explained, âItâs just a skill.
Perhaps look it up in records; there might be some info.â
The Old Dragon King nodded and dropped the topic.
âBack in Qingshan City, I invited you over.
I was busy for days.
But whateverâas long as that Evil Spiritâs gone now, my job is easier.â
âSince weâre both free, letâs go have a drink.â
