On the Avenue.

Chapter 353 Died on the Same Day
The capital of Tianchi Kingdom has no fixed borders. The buildings are just taller and more magnificent than those villages, and the scale is much larger. But in Chen Shi's view, it is just a community of large and small villages.

Sang Xixi whispered, "Each village is a tribe. People living in the villages are usually of the same race. There is a leading ghost god who enjoys incense and worship, and other ghosts are the providers. These tribes make up the capital of Tianchi."

Chen Shi looked towards one of the tribes. In the middle of the village sat a ghost god, who was several feet tall. He sat in the largest manor, and the house was also a house for giants. The other ghosts in the tribe lived in ordinary stone houses, all for the purpose of serving this powerful ghost god.

The ghost stared at him, and suddenly its forehead cracked open, revealing an eye. Bright light shone towards him, as if there was a small sun hidden in its forehead.

Sang Xixi led Chen Shi and Peng Yan'er away from this place under the gaze of the ghost god, and said: "Those ghosts offer sacrifices to the ghost gods, and the ghost gods will protect them when danger comes. When the ghost gods die, they will choose the strongest ghost, let him receive incense, and become the new ghost god."

In the distance, there was a tribal ghost standing on a wooden platform, several feet tall, beating a drum vigorously. On the platform, there were other ghosts fighting and colliding with each other. Their brute force was amazing, which attracted Chen Shi's attention.

These ghosts have reached adulthood, they are strong and powerful, and have also awakened some of their bloodlines, giving them incredible combat power.

Their bloodline is much higher than that of the cuckoo tribe, and the power they unleash with their every move is comparable to that of masters in the Divine Descent Realm and the Refining Void Realm!
Seeing this, Chen Shi was shocked: "The blood power of the ghost clan is too strong!"

The underworld is divided into ghosts, monsters, gods, demons, etc.

A ghost refers to the soul of a human or livestock such as cattle and horses that drift to the underworld after death. When the soul has no place to go, it turns into a ghost.

Ghosts refer to underworld creatures that are born in the underworld with negative energy, such as Yaksha, Ox-headed Demon, Horse-faced Demon and other ghosts.

There are two kinds of ghosts and gods. One is an adult ghost who receives incense and sacrifices, and is worshipped by clansmen or other ghosts and gods. The other is a person, animal, or monster who has great merits and has been worshipped by living people in the world of the living for a long time, and has a divine position in the underworld due to his merits.

Demons are strange species that are born from the evil spirits of the underworld. They often have no physical body, and either attach themselves to dead bones, or to plants in the underworld, or hide in the darkness, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

On the distant arena, one of the ghosts suddenly put his hands forward and clasped them together. A torrent of water suddenly appeared and knocked his opponent away.

The force of this torrent of water was so powerful that it broke bones and tendons of his opponent!

Sang Xixi whispered, "Have you figured out anything?"

Chen Shi's voice was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I see. Supernatural power!"

"Yes, it's a magical power!"

Sang Xixi was full of praise, then a little annoyed, and said, "How did you see that? When the sect leader brought me here, I encountered ghosts fighting for the throne. They also used their magical powers to let me see, but I watched for a long time and still couldn't see it."

Chen Shi said softly: "Magic is to borrow the power of the gods of heaven and earth, and the supernatural power comes from oneself."

He is a great expert in magic, proficient in the Zhou Tian Da Jiao and 2,400 kinds of talismans, which can evolve into thousands and tens of thousands of magic spells.

Talismans are pictographic symbols of magic that record the appearance of gods and demons. They possess extraordinary power by taking on the appearance of gods and demons.

Lu is the name of gods and demons. People call on the names of gods and demons and borrow their power, or even transform themselves into gods and demons.

Zhuan is the language of gods and demons, which controls the power of nature with the language of gods and demons.

These are all spells.

But the practice of supernatural powers is the result of one's own great strength, without the help of the power of gods or demons!
Supernatural power means communication with gods, which means that one’s own strength is as strong as that of gods and there is no need to rely on others.

The power of the ghost clan’s bloodline is supernatural power!
After becoming adults, the ghost clan can awaken their bloodline and master magical powers!
If such a group of ghosts invaded the world of the living...

Chen Shi frowned slightly and thought, "Compared with magical powers, spells are slower to activate. Magical powers are faster, but basically a race can only master one or two magical powers, which are far less complicated than spells. Therefore, it is hard to say which one is stronger."

He felt a little relieved.

He noticed that there were places for smelting and casting here, also divided into tribes, and all ghosts were engaged in forging and smelting.

He also saw a tribe weaving. The ghosts in the tribe did not weave cloth with spinning wheels, but weaved cloth by hand. The female ghosts in the tribe had eight arms and weaved very quickly with needles and threads. However, the cloth they wove was very rough.

Chen Shi finally knew where the rags on the buttocks of those little demons he had seen before came from.

"The torn trousers of Little Yasha must have been bought from here. They were not torn when they were bought, but Little Yashas are basically broke, so they got torn after wearing them for a long time."

Although the Tianchi Kingdom was rough, its craftsmanship was very developed. Chen Shi also saw a tribe that specialized in shipbuilding, a tribe that specialized in making fishing gear, and a ghost tribe that specialized in trading.

In addition, there are also a number of burly ghosts and gods, wearing armor and holding axes, swords and forks. They should be the strong men guarding the capital.

As he traveled along the way, he witnessed customs that were different from those in the world of the living, which broadened his horizons.

Sang Xixi said: "In Tianchi Country, we skeleton monks are also classified as a race by them, called the Skeleton Ghost Clan. Our status is very low, not much better than that of the little Yaksha. We don't have our own tribe. The monks who come here to make a living often possess skeletons after death and bring treasures to their families in the world of the living."

An idea suddenly popped up in Chen Shi's mind, and he said, "We, the Skeleton Ghost Clan, are cultivators whose souls are attached to skeletons. Then, could the little Yaksha, the Bull-Headed Little Ghost, and the Horse-Faced Little Ghost also be cultivators from other worlds, attached to these little things?"

Sang Xixi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, it is possible. However, the little Yashas were all born by ghost mothers, unlike us, whose souls come from the world of the living, and whose skeletons are made from the bodies of the dead. So, it should be impossible."

Chen Shi didn't quite understand this and asked, "If it is the bones of a deceased person in the world of the living, why did it appear in the underworld?"

Sang Xixi was not very clear about this either, and said, "I once heard from the elders that when the dead in the world of the living are buried underground, their bodies will rot and turn into bones, which will continue to sink. When they sink to the depth of the nine springs, they will fall into the underworld. Some elders disagree, saying that the two worlds of yin and yang are actually in the same place at the same time. After a person dies, if the yin energy is too heavy, they will appear in the underworld. When they are alive, their yang energy is strong, so they are in the world of the living. They also say that some people can see ghosts because they have too much yin energy. I don't know whose words are reasonable."

Chen Shi saw several scantily clad skeletons, who he thought were skeleton monks. Two incense sticks were inserted in their ear holes, one in each ear, and the smoke was curling up.

But there are more little creatures like Yakshas and Minotaur in the city, who are always running around in a hurry and are very busy.

"Heaven Listener!"

Chen Shi suddenly saw several Sky Listeners with big ears flying through the air, flying towards a magnificent building. He was shocked, "These Sky Listeners are simply omnipresent!"

At this time, he saw more Tianting listeners flying from all directions, about two or three hundred of them, all flying towards the tall building.

Sang Xixi looked at the direction the Sky Listeners were flying and said, "They should be heading to the King's Palace... Strange, what happened there?"

She was very excited and wanted to go and watch the fun.

Where the Heaven Listeners appear in large numbers, something often happens.

Not long after, they came to a stone courtyard. Sang Xixi opened the door and saw two skeletons in clothes living inside. They should be disciples of the Medicine King Sect.

Sang Xixi went to look for clothes and asked, "Would you like to wear long sleeves or short sleeves?"

Chen Shi said, "Can you not wear clothes? It's inconvenient to do things with clothes on. I thought about not wearing clothes when I was in the world, but it was too shocking." Sang Xixi sneered, "Without clothes, people can see your ribs and pelvis at will? Wearing clothes has the advantage that you can hide the talisman weapons and treasures in your chest and pelvis, and others can't see them. My Qiankun bag is hidden in my pelvis. When I need it, I just dig in my pelvis and take it out."

Her Qiankun bag was indeed a remarkable treasure, and Chen Shi was very envious.

This treasure is made by restoring the Qian and Kun hexagrams of the innate Bagua into talismans and refining them. The internal space is extremely large and it is said to be a bag containing the heaven and the earth.

However, this treasure had long been lost, and no one knew where Sang Xixi found this Qiankun bag. Even after putting all of Chen Shi's firearms in it, it was still not full.

“We can study this treasure, ask the Lu Ban Sect to try to make more, and then give them to the Juxian Tower for sale.” Chen Shi thought to himself.

Sang Xixi found a green robe that doctors wear for him, but there was only one. It fit Chen Shi well when he put it on, but when he walked, his white thigh bones were exposed.

Sang Xixi found him a black hat with a horizontal fan blade. When he walked, the horizontal bars on both sides of the hat shook and trembled.

Chen Shi didn't plan to wear it, so Sang Xixi said, "After you wear it, you can hide things in your head."

Chen Shi thought about it and put on his hat.

His little temple did need to be hidden, perhaps inside a skull.

Sang Xixi said: "I will go out to get information, you stay here."

Chen Shi said: "Don't delay too long. Pi Chi's murder cannot be concealed for long. If the East Palace finds out, it will be difficult to save him."

Sang Xixi walked out: "I'll be back in a moment!"

Chen Shi and Peng Yaner stayed here to practice the Blood Lake Sutra.

Peng Yaner has killed many ghosts and gods, but has not yet entered the Blood Lake Realm. Chen Shi has also just entered the Blood Lake Realm and needs time to become familiar with this realm.

There were some divine blood and rosy clouds hidden in his small temple. Chen Shi gave the rosy clouds to Peng Yaner and asked her to practice, while he tried to practice with the divine blood.

This time he has reached the Blood Lake Realm and has refined the Blood Lake Hell, so refining the divine blood is no longer as dangerous as before.

However, his body was always on the verge of breaking, constantly being repaired and then covered with cracks again.

The foundation of this dry skeleton was too poor and it was about to decay. Chen Shi used the Blood Lake Sutra to transform it into something magical. Now that Chen Shi activated the Blood Lake Sutra, he saw many textures that had never been seen before emerging on the bones. It should be that he killed ghosts such as Pi Chi, and the Blood Lake Sutra absorbed their blood power!
As his cultivation level increased, the blood lake behind his head grew larger and larger, gradually turning into a lake several miles long and wide, already looking a bit like the blood lake hell.

The spirits of Pi Chi and other ghosts and gods were struggling in the lake, trying to be saved.

Chen Shi felt that as he converted these ghosts and gods, his soul became stronger and stronger!

"The more spirits you convert, the faster your souls will improve. My blood lake needs to convert more ghosts and gods to help them cleanse their sins."

He refined three drops of divine blood, and the lake was five or six miles long and wide, but it was still far from the Blood Sea Realm.

"The Blood Sea Realm is the last level of the Blood Lake Sutra. It is the pinnacle of the Blood Sea Realm and one can become an immortal after ten thousand levels of cultivation. It is not easy to achieve this level. But it doesn't seem too difficult either." Chen Shi thought to himself.

There were countless corpses of gods hanging on the Wuliang Cliff, and below them their divine blood had gathered to form a stream. Chen Shi estimated that if he could refine a small section of the stream, it would be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Blood Sea Realm.

"The real difficulty in practicing this technique is that it requires the salvation of tens of thousands of ghosts and gods."

Chen Shi sighed in his heart, how many evil ghosts and gods would he have to kill in order to become an immortal?
This time after breaking through to the Blood Lake Realm of the Blood Lake Sutra, he felt his own divine power growing stronger and stronger, and he even had a vague sense of the realm of ghosts and gods.

This feeling was so wonderful that he even felt that if the blood lake behind his head were spread out, it would be a realm of ghosts and gods that was five or six miles long and wide!
And he is the master of this blood lake hell!

He is the judge and King of Hell who controls the Blood Lake Hell!
"How could a race that created such a simple and terrifying technique have its writing system destroyed?"

Chen Shi was a little horrified. What kind of power had caused these horrible ghosts to fall into their current state?

At this time, the door opened and Sang Xixi walked in, saying in a serious tone: "Something big has happened. The ruler of Tianchi has passed away. Those Tianting listeners just now were there to witness the death of the ruler of Tianchi. Now the Crown Prince of Tianchi has left the East Palace and rushed to the palace where the ruler is!"

Chen Shi stood up and said quickly: "This is the best time for us to rescue people!"

Sang Xixi shook her head and said, "The Eastern Palace is under strict lockdown, and the gods and ghosts have sealed it off. We have no chance of pretending to be doctors and entering the Eastern Palace!"

Chen Shi walked out and said calmly, "Why don't we just charge in? Yan'er, follow me!"

Peng Yaner responded and quickly followed Chen Shi.

Sang Xixi also hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "Don't rush to go, I will arrange for the disciples of the Medicine King Sect to return to the world of the living first."

Chen Shi was surprised and asked, "You want to go too?"

"Of course!"

Sang Xixi said confidently, "You are my Medicine King Sect's great benefactor, and I will naturally repay you for your kindness! Don't worry, I won't use these big firecrackers indiscriminately!"

She went to give orders to the disciples of Yaowang Sect, but Chen Shi always suspected that she followed them just to set off a big firecracker.

After giving the instructions, Sang Xixi went out excitedly and said, "Follow me!"

Chen Shi and Peng Yan'er quickly followed her and walked towards the East Palace.

Suddenly, Chen Shi stopped and looked back, a little confused: "How could they be here? Did I see it wrong?"

He turned around and caught up with Sang Xixi.

At the corner of the street, Monk Wuchen stopped, looked back, and said, "Uncle Master, why don't you leave?"

The girl in black clothes and black skirt turned around, revealing her pretty and fair face. She said with a puzzled look, "I seemed to see an old friend just now... Strange, why did he die so quickly? Did he do too many bad things and was punished by God? God has eyes."

Monk Wuchen asked, "Old friend?"

Ying Rumeng came over and said, "Let's go and find a place with a lot of demonic energy. I'm almost mature."
