0617, Two Saints
The Holy Bone Mountain is a huge white mountain range with thousands of peaks, including dozens of main peaks reaching a height of 10,000 meters. There are towering strange peaks, numerous caves, and most of the mountains are hollow. The mountains also have strange shapes and no rules to follow.
This piece of white peaks is particularly conspicuous in the low-pitched black land within tens of thousands of miles. It is said that this mountain range is formed by the accumulation of white bones. Over time, the white bones solidify like rocks, forming a unique landscape.
Rumor has it that this mountain was transformed into the form of a skeleton who had reached the extreme level of cultivation in the World of Hundred Ghosts after he failed to break through the demons and suffered a catastrophe. The white mountains with a radius of thousands of miles are all this. The skeleton of the Skeleton King.
However, the authenticity of most of these legends cannot be tested.
Before the rise of the new Ghost King, various major forces were entrenched in the Bone Sacred Mountain. Dozens of ghost sects, large and small, were stationed at the same time, with different schools and techniques. Although they were not first-rate forces, they could be regarded as intertwined and intertwined. There are some real ghost cultivators who are invisible and difficult to offend. Therefore, for thousands of years, no ghost sect has ever been able to completely unify the Bone Sacred Mountain.
But with the appearance of two extraordinary geniuses among ghost cultivators, everything changed.
In just four or five years, it rose rapidly, swept through all the major sects in the Bone Sacred Mountain, killed many ghost cultivators, and forcibly unified the mountain range. It became famous and famous to the outside world. The three characters "Bone Sacred Mountain" are the signboard, which directly created the "Bone Sacred Mountain" ghost sect.
The origins of these two ghost cultivators are extremely mysterious. There is no special teacher. Rumor has it that two wandering souls became stronger overnight and became a man and a woman. They were husband and wife in life and died together as ghosts. They drifted here and met a great opportunity. He jumped into the forest of strong ghost cultivators and became the overlord of a prince.
This information was all found out by Li Mu along the way.
Li Mu realized that if the rumors were correct, it meant that the pair of ghost kings in the Holy Bone Mountain had mastered very advanced ghost cultivation methods and were able to rise to prominence in a short period of time.
He was extremely interested in this possible ghost cultivation method.
"That's it."
He pretended to be a ghost cultivator and was not discovered by any ghosts. Instead, after gradually understanding the world, he began to integrate perfectly into the ghost cultivator.
At this time, Li Mu was standing in the outer area of Bone Holy Mountain.
He looked up at the mountains, and a sense of the vicissitudes of time came to his face.
Except for the monks living in this world, who are all in a state of soul, the rest is not much different from the real world of the living. Ghost monks also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also need to eat - this world has a strange water source , which is said to flow from the hell spring. Every time a ghost cultivator drinks it, the energy can be maintained for varying amounts of time.
Li Mu had taken this water source but did not drink it.
Because the energy contained in the water source is extremely weird. For ghost cultivators who are half alive and half dead, it can maintain the energy state, but for the living, the effect is unpredictable. He doesn't want to take risks, but he still saves some for use. Study slowly.
The energy in this water source reminded Li Mu of the breath of the god-level source crystal he felt at the mysterious ore owner's stall when he was unraveling the stone. It was almost exactly the same.
The second senior brother was unlocked from that god-level source crystal. Later, the strange half-life and half-death energy disappeared. I think of the second senior brother who almost showed his original form when he was at the [Cliff of the Living] outside the Hundred Ghost Star. Due to the extremely strange behavior, Li Mu felt that the second senior brother might know the source or use of this energy.
So Li Mu collected and stored some of this strange water source for future research.
What he is thinking about now is how to sneak into the Holy Bone Mountain and try to find a higher-level ghost cultivation method.
With Li Mu's current cultivation level, using force to snatch away the cultivation techniques is a feasible route. A ghost king-level existence may not necessarily be able to defeat Li Mu, but Li Mu finally gave up on this route.
Because this is the Hundred Ghost Star, the place of the dead.
If Li Mu exposes his identity as a living person in the process of snatching the cultivation techniques, I am afraid that at that time, he will usher in the hostility of all the ghost cultivators in the entire Hundred Ghost Star. This planet is very strange, so Li Mu does not dare to be careless. .
"We have to think of other ways."
Li Mu thought about it in his heart.
One day later, Li Mu heard some news.
"The Bone Sacred Mountain is recruiting disciples. As long as you have a ghost-level cultivation level, you can join it and get training resources and techniques."
A piece of news spread among the ghost cultivators around the Bone Holy Mountain.
Because it is a newly rising force, the Holy Bone Mountain is recruiting a large number of ghost cultivators. To put it simply, it is recruiting juniors.
It is said that during this period, the relationship between the Bone Saint Mountain and several old ghost cultivating sects around it was not harmonious. There were disputes over the division of territory between the old and new forces, and several battles broke out. That's why the Bone Saint Mountain was so violent. Recruit troops and buy horses.
Li Mu thought for a while and got mixed up with the scattered ghost cultivators who had taken refuge in the Bone Sacred Mountain.
After going through some simple tests, Li Mu, who appeared to be a ghost soldier, successfully joined the Bone Sacred Mountain and became a captain-level disciple. 】The ghost cultivation method.
However, although [Julingquan] is much better than ordinary ghost cultivation methods, there is still a big gap between it and the top ghost cultivation methods that Li Mu really expects, so Li Mu is on hold for the time being.
His goal is the top ghost cultivation method.
"Our Holy Bone Mountain has the world's top methods and resources, but you have only been here for a few days? You want to get higher cultivation methods and better cultivation resources, and you want to enter the 'Secret Spring' To practice Onimusukai, you must confirm your battle merit and rely on the battle merit value to redeem it. Everything depends on you."
An elder named Zhen Ye, a ghost general, scolded Li Mu and the other ghosts.
Li Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
I'm afraid you don't have the top-level skills. Since you do, everything will be easy to explain.
He stood still and continued to observe.
After that, he, like the three other ghost-level squad leaders, Gui Xiu, was assigned to enter a cave with a good location, which can be regarded as a residence. There is a yellow spring well in it, which can be used by four people, and is connected to other places in the outside world. Compared with the yellow spring water, the spring water in this well is purer and richer, and can better cooperate with ghost cultivation methods.
Li Mu's men were followed by fifty ghost-level ghost cultivators.
The entire Bone Sacred Mountain is currently in constant war, and it is not difficult to achieve military exploits.
Only three days later, Li Mu and others went to the battlefield.
Around the Bone Saint Mountain, there are three major ghost cultivating sects, namely the Heavenly Ghost Sect, the Ghost Saint Sect and Mangdangchang. They are all old ghost cultivating sects that have existed for tens of millions of years. Due to the rapid rise of the Bone Saint Mountain, The territory was threatened, and they competed for various resources and disciples. The three sects united to encircle and suppress the Holy Bone Mountain. Starting three months ago, the war broke out. There were hundreds of battles, large and small, and it was almost unheard of.
Li Mu and other ghosts were sent to the battlefield with the Mangdangchang disciples.
After a fight, more than half of Li Mu's ghost cultivators were killed. However, because of his outstanding performance, he killed four elite disciples in the Mangdang field in succession, and gained the favor of the ghost general elder Maye. With merit points, he was promoted to an official rank and became a captain commanding one hundred ghosts and four ghost soldiers. He also received training resource rewards.
"These are ten high-quality ghost beads. The energy contained in them is enough for you to absorb for a month. Work hard and be loyal to the Second Saint. I am very optimistic about you." Ghost General Elder Maye distributed the rewards and patted Li Mu on the shoulder.
He gradually regarded Li Mu as his confidant and trained him.
Night falls.
Because of his merit, Li Mu was worth the favor of the ghost general elder Maye, so within a short period of time, he moved again and got a cave to live alone.
He returned to his cave, sat on the futon, held ten dark and shiny beads the size of dragon's eyes in his hands, and observed them carefully.
"Ghost beads are treasures that condense ghost energy. They contain energy that can be absorbed by ghost cultivators. Similar to the fairy crystals in the Yingxian Star region, they can also be regarded as a kind of hard currency on the Hundred Ghost Star."
Li Mu could clearly feel that this ghost bead contained quite pure half-life and half-death energy.
In his heart, he was quite eager to try.
What would happen if I practiced ghost cultivating techniques?
This thought kept flashing in his mind.
Li Mu remembered that when he discovered the god-level rough stone, the half-life and half-death energy echoed with the [Xiantian Kung] and seemed to be compatible with the [Xiantian Kung]. The same is true for the energy in this ghost bead now. If this is combined Can all kinds of energy from the dead be absorbed into one's own body to help the cultivation of [Xiantian Kung Fu]?
But it is impossible to determine what effect this energy will have if it is absorbed and refined into the body by a living person. If it causes problems with the originally practiced living skills, it will be worth the loss.
Li Mu hesitated in his heart and did not really try it.
In the next few days, fighting continued.
Li Mu and the ghost soldiers under his command were constantly dispatched to the battlefield, but ghost cultivators still continued to fly away. The cruelty of war was no less cruel than the world of the living. Once killed, all three souls and seven souls would dissipate, which is equivalent to It is eternal life without reincarnation, which is more terrifying than the death of the living.
And Li Mu performed extremely well in such a battle.
"Not bad, you satisfy me very much."
Ghost General Elder Maya definitely regarded Li Mu as his confidant, and tried his best to train and fight in the city. Various resources and official positions were also tilted a lot towards Li Mu, as if he wanted to train Li Mu to become his 'successor ghost' .
Li Mu also took the opportunity to ask many questions.
Only then did he know that the two ghost kings who now rule the Bone Holy Mountain, one man and one woman, are collectively called the Two Saints by many ghost cultivators. They practice extremely profound and mysterious techniques, and their combat power is unbelievable. It is said that even ghost king-level existences, There is no threat to these two saints.
"The technique practiced by the Second Saint is..." Li Mu tried to ask.
After hearing this, Ghost General Elder Maya shook his head repeatedly and said: "I don't know about this, but you kid, never ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. Be a smart guy and never ask others about such things in the future. Yes, but I heard the Second Sage personally say that he knows or practices the Second Sage’s method, so it can be inferred that it is definitely not an ordinary method.”
"Which two?"
"First, if enough merit points have been accumulated, and second, those who have made great contributions to the sect can obtain the training techniques of the two saints."
