Big Bodhi

In just half a stick of incense, Ji Yuenian learned many things about the Qingluan Mountain Range from this newborn ghost. Among which he was most concerned about the fact that the four great demons brought many souls with Sure Dao Realm cultivation base after leaving the Furnace Barrier.

"Do you know what they are doing?"

Ji Yuenian looked up at the light gate emerging from the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, and asked softly.

The girl shook her head, with a hint of shock remaining in her eyes. She murmured, "Since I was born, I have never seen any Lord Demon General leave the Qingluan Mountains. With so many subordinates leaving the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, I don’t know what big thing will happen.”

At that time, many tyrannical figures above the extreme sky had left the Qingluan Mountains one after another, and the light gate on the barrier gradually shrank, and finally completely disappeared into the void.

"Who are you!?"

The gloomy voice came to his ears, and Ji Yuenian looked sideways, and a dark ghostly aura condensed out, turning into a gloomy young man in black, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Master Nightmare!"

The girl fell to the ground stammeringly, with a lot of panic in her tone.

Although she didn’t know Ji Yuenian, she didn’t think much about it. She just regarded him as a ghost just like herself, just a newly born ghost. But at that moment, the Nightmare Ghost suddenly appeared here, with an even more unfriendly expression, which clearly showed that this handsome young man was not a creature in the Qingluan Mountain Range at all.

Ji Yuenian faced the nightmare ghost, but his aura never faltered. He said softly, "I’m here to look for the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan who lives here."

"How can a weak little ghost enter the Qingluan Mountains through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier?" Between the fingers of the Nightmare Ghost, a pitch-black light ball appeared which exuded a fierce aura. "Let me ask you again, who are you?"

Although the Nightmare Ghost was also an alchemical material, because of his cultivation level in the True Dao Realm, he was ordered to take charge of the affairs on the west side of the Qingluan Mountains, so he was very familiar with the ghosts and creatures in it. With Ji Yuenian’s body being filled with extremely pure Ghost Qi, he had entered the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountains very abruptly, prompting him to fall into the range of the nightmare ghost.

It would be fine if ordinary people strayed into the mountain range, and the nightmare ghost would not care about it at all, but Ji Yuenian passed through the barrier as a ghost of the Xuan Realm, which was enough to make the nightmare ghost inexplicably horrified.

"I’ve already said it." Ji Yuenian shook his head. "I came here to hunt for the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan. If this demon has died, then I will leave immediately."

"Ant in the Xuan Realm dares to think Qingluan Mountains is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Lord Nightmare Ghost’s voice became even colder, "Forget it, I will strip your soul and explore the memories in it carefully. Presumably, I will be able to find the way you passed through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier."

After saying this, the nightmare ghost directly crushed the pitch-black ball of light in his hand.

Countless black lights escaped from it, and accompanied by the shrill howls of ghosts, dozens of dark translucent lights and shadows swept towards Ji Yuenian.

Although the Nightmare Ghost never paid much attention to Ji Yuenian, who was at the Upper Realm of Xuan Realm, this casual blow had a terrifying power that could rival a powerhouse of the Upper stage of the True Dao Realm.

Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, and made a seal with both hands. An azure lotus shield bloomed around him, which was able to block the crazy invasion of these translucent black shadows.

It was "Qingmu Zhuanling Zhenju" that was specially designed for protection. It was activated by the pshyic karmic fire phantom in his soul, and it was even more terrifyingly enchanted by the Tong Xuan bloodline power. It allowed the basic spell to block the attack comparable to the Late Stage of True Dao Realm.

Nightmare Ghost was slightly startled. He was very aware of the power of those translucent ghosts. Dozens of ghosts were enough to crush ordinary creatures in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm directly, but a ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm had blocked them so easily.

What surprised him the most was that this ghost could actually cast spells.

Ordinary ghosts had very simple spells. They only a few basic Spiritual spells in the original memory, but the defensive spell used by this ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm was very powerful, and it was obviously a very high grade spell.

"Who the hell are you? If you tell the truth now, I can consider letting you live." The Nightmare Ghost stood quietly in the sky tens of meters high, and the hostility in his words had dissipated a lot.

Ghosts that could possess high grade spells were very likely to have Elders behind them. Although many forces in the Qingluan Mountains and the Yuanyan Realm had almost never interacted with each other, the Nightmare Ghost did not want to provoke a strong enemy for no reason.

If there really was an extremely powerful master of the Sect behind this ghost, it was afraid that a few monster generals would suppress and capture him without even thinking about it, and send it to the enemy to be dealt with.

Bailu Yaojun and Taiyu Holy Sect had an agreement. The creatures in the Qingluan Mountains must not leave the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, let alone cause trouble in the Yuanyan Realm. Although there were many loopholes that could be exploited, the Nightmare Ghost did not dare to take the risk.

"You said just now that there are only four demon generals in Qingluan Mountains, right?" Ji Yuenian didn’t respond to the nightmare ghost, but looked sideways at the ghost girl and asked softly.

The girl was a little at a loss. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes."

"So there are no more demon generals in the Qingluan Mountains now." Ji Yuenian looked up at the Nightmare Ghost, and there were dots of bright blue stars emerging in his eyes.

The Nightmare Ghost naturally understood Ji Yuenian’s gaze, and under rage, the momentum of the Late Stage of True Dao Realm swept out in all directions like Tsunami, and he said coldly, "You are brave, ant. I no longer wish to bother with you. I asked you how you entered the Qingluan Mountains, but you actually want to attack me?"

In his opinion, it was naturally impossible for a mere ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm to break through the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace. The only explanation was that it had a precious spiritual weapon that could pass through the barrier.

Although Nightmare Ghost wanted to escape from Qingluan Mountains in his dreams, his rationality told him that even if he escaped from the Heavenly Furnace Barrier by chance, several demon generals could still find his aura and kill him, so Nightmare Ghost did not escape at all. It appeared that Ji Yuenian’s teacher had a strong background, so he planned to let him go directly.

But to his shock and anger, Ji Yuenian looked at him with murderous intent, which greatly insulted Nightmare Ghost.

The Late Stage of Xuan Realm tyrannically surpassed a powerhouse in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, how absurd that was? In fact, he was only one step away from the incomparably mysterious Divine Sea Realm.

This ghost with a mere cultivation at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm, had showed such a gaze at a creature of the Late Stage of True Dao Realm. Even if the nightmare ghost restrained his emotions, he could no longer hold back, and immediately put his hands together. His claw turned into a black smoke and shot straight towards Ji Yuenian.

Ji Yuenian held the Ebony Sword and slashed. The bright white sword light flew and turned into a shield that defended his front.

***Boom!***
