Chapter 517: Chapter 0489: New Master of the Ghost World!_1
"The time has passed too long, many people may not remember clearly, let me answer this question!" The Third Elder floated out and landed in front of Lv Zhong.
The Third Elder is the elder in charge of the library in the Soul Sage Hall. His understanding of the history of the Hell Ghost Realm is unsurpassed by anyone.
"In our Hell Ghost Realm, there are also twelve hours a day, thirty days a month, and 360 days in a year. From the era of Emperor Yu to now, our Hell Ghost Realm has experienced four hundred thousand years..."
F...Four hundred thousand years?
Lv Zhong opened his mouth wide, incredulously stunned.
If calculated by the Earth years where Lv Zhong was located, Dayu was a character from more than 2000 years BC, about four thousand years from the modern era. By comparison, it means that the flow of time in this Hell Ghost Realm is 100 times that of Earth’s space.
A 100 times flow of time!
This is too shocking!
If the Soul-Devouring Worm cultivates and evolves in this Hell Ghost Realm, how far will it grow?
Similarly, even if Lv Zhong cultivates in this world, it will make his strength rise at a "rocket" speed.
Heat suddenly rose in Lv Zhong’s heart.
"Then, in these more than four hundred thousand years, how many of the elders of your Soul Sage Hall have entered this world from the beginning and have not reincarnated with it?" Lv Zhong asked seemingly unintentionally.
The eyes of the Third Elder turned on the Great Elder and other elders, saying, "The top ten elders in our Soul Sage Hall are the first batch of souls in the Hell Ghost Realm. To manage the reincarnation of human souls, we did not reincarnate. The subsequent elders have had the chance to reincarnate in the other eight realms of Emperor Yu."
Lv Zhong’s gaze swept over the elders of the Soul Sage Hall and shook his head secretly.
Four hundred thousand years of time and plenty of soul energy for cultivation, but the most powerful of these elders’ soul energies is just a notch or two above the cultivators in the Mahayana period, comparable at most to an ordinary Level 3 human immortal.
This situation made Lv Zhong feel somewhat unbelievable.
After a hesitation, Lv Zhong quickly looked up at the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, may I ask, you have been cultivating for so long, why... why is your strength still so weak? Is it possible that there has never been a ghost immortal ascended to other realms in the history of this Hell Ghost Realm?"
As this question came out, many of the ghost clan elders couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. The Great Elder’s old face was even more wrinkled into a bitter chrysanthemum.
"My friend, you’re mistaken." The Great Elder wryly smiled and said. "Indeed, we haven’t evolved a ghost immortal in our Hell Ghost World. For some unknown reason, our world has several restrictions, and soul energy stops increasing once it reaches Level 3 Human Immortal. Plus, we’re ghosts. In the time of Emperor Yu, there were few ghost cultivation methods, and the strength we’ve cultivated to this level is what we’ve explored ourselves over hundreds of thousands of years. The soul power condensed from cultivation techniques is chaotic, and it’s challenging to refine, which is why our power is not high. Of course, most crucially, even if we had the strength comparable to a ghost immortal, we couldn’t ascend, and we don’t know how or where to ascend..."
Restrictions?
Lv Zhong was stunned and thought about it carefully, suddenly he seemed to understand.
When Dayu forged the nine cauldrons, there was no Heavenly Court governed by the Jade Emperor.
The rulers of the Heavenly Court before that were the Demon Race’s Emperor Jun and Emperor Donghuang Taiyi. Even after the war between the sorcerers and demons, the Heavenly Court was vacant, but in the eyes and consciousness of the human race, the Heavenly Court belonged to the demon race. When Dayu created the nine cauldrons, he considered the human race and would never allow the people within the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu to ascend to the Heavenly Court, suffer oppression, and become slaves of the demon race.
Therefore, Dayu must have set some restrictive prohibitions in the nine cauldrons to prevent the beings inside the cauldrons from ascending to the Heavenly Court.
Most importantly, as far as Lv Yue’s memory is concerned, in the Universe before the War of Gods Sealing, there was only the Heavenly Court but no Immortal World. The Immortal World was opened after the War of Gods Sealing.
Of course, if there are other universes, there might be other immortal realms. Whether the immortal realm of that universe formed earlier or later has little to do with Lv Zhong.
Understanding this, Lv Zhong laughed, the beings of Nine Cauldrons of Dayu being unable to ascend to other worlds was just what he wanted.
For Lv Zhong, in the short term, the Insect Army is best entirely under his control. Suppose they ascend to the Immortal World by any chance. In that case, they might release the ancient Soul Banning Technique he left behind by coincidence, which is not what Lv Zhong wants.
At this point, Lv Zhong was quite satisfied with his journey into the Hell Ghost Realm.
Just as Lv Zhong was delighted, the Great Elder suddenly condensed his eyes and stared at Lv Zhong and asked, "By the way, since you can enter our Hell Ghost Realm, and you are not a powerhouse above Golden Immortal, you must have refined Dayu’s Earth Cauldron, right?"
"Correct!" Lv Zhong admitted without a second thought. No one could deceive these human ghost souls from the time of Emperor Yu that he was the master of the Earth Cauldron.
"Ah...how could I forget this..." The Third Elder couldn’t help but slap his forehead and laugh bitterly.
The other elders also instantly reacted: If this person is not the owner of the Earth Cauldron, it is impossible to bring along their physical bodies into this world.
And that this man had not been attacked by the Earth Cauldron means that he is already the master of the Earth Cauldron, and can even say that he is the master of the entire Hell Ghost Realm!
At this moment, all the elders of the Soul Sage Hall changed their faces.
"Since you are of pure human lineage and have been recognized by the Earth Cauldron, you are also the master of all of us." The Great Elder floated to Lv Zhong’s front, suddenly solemnly gave Lv Zhong a salute, and bowed and said, "The Great Elder of Soul Sage Hall, Iron Teeth, greets the new master..."
"The Second Elder of the Soul Sage Hall, Tiger Roar, greets the new master..."
"Third Elder Mu Tuo, in the presence of the new master..."
...
For a moment, all elders of the Soul Sage Hall were paying their respects to Lv Zhong.
Lv Zhong was caught off guard by all the ghosts in the Soul Sage Hall.
Truthfully, Lv Zhong hadn’t considered becoming the master of these old ghosts. What he cared about most was the robust development of the Insect Clan in the [Earth Cauldron].
You must know, the development potential of the human race is immense, but the reproductive capacity of the insect race is even more terrifying!
Lv Zhong could become the faith master of the Insect Clan and absorb the mighty faith power of the Insect Clan, but then, he must find countless living spaces for the Insect Clan.
So, the nine great worlds inherent in [Nine Cauldrons of Dayu] became Lv Zhong’s target.
However, the growth of the Insect Clan in these nine worlds will definitely threaten the indigenous peoples of these nine worlds.
At that time, are they going to watch the Insect Clan and the human race confront each other?
If Lv Zhong doesn’t want the human race and the Insect Clan to fight, then he must get more space or worlds!
So, when the ghost elders of [Hell Ghost Realm] accepted him, Lv Zhong, as the master of this world, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Forget it, anyway, the Insect Clan has far to go before it can develop, and perhaps other methods can be thought of by then!" Lv Zhong chuckled wryly and did not resist, seemingly admitting that he was indeed the lord of [Hell Ghost Realm].
After all, Lv Zhong himself is a human, and it would be ill-advised to be hard on the human race.
Lv Zhong smiled and said, "Although I am the master of [Earth Cauldron], I am still a junior. Everyone should not be so polite in the future."
The elders of Soul Sage Hall also chuckled. They certainly didn’t agree with Lv Zhong’s words. Since he is the master of [the Cauldron of Earth], they must maintain the basic courtesy and respect for Lv Zhong.
"Alright, I have some business in the outside world, you all carry on..."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Lv Zhong was about to leave [the Earth Cauldron], but Great Elder Iron Teeth called out to him again, asking anxiously: "Master, I don’t know, can you bring the people of Earth Cauldron into the main world outside?"
"This...." Lv Zhong hesitated for a moment, "It should be possible, but the laws of the main world are different from [the Earth Cauldron World], I don’t know if the inhabitants here entering the outside world will cause a backlash of the external laws. You should know, the power of the Reincarnation Six Paths is overwhelmingly dominating. If the Six Paths of Reincarnation think you ghosts have escaped from the ghostly and heavenly laws by using a secret technique, they may impose heavenly mission..."
Lv Zhong’s concern is not without reason!
After all, if you really think about it, the establishment of this [Earth Cauldron] World is essentially challenging the [Reincarnation Six Paths]!
Because of the [Earth Cauldron] World, the Reincarnation Six Paths’ control over a portion of humans’ destiny has gone astray.
If the ghosts in the Earth Cauldron do not appear, then the Reincarnation Six Paths may continue making mistakes!
But once these ghosts reappear in the main world, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will definitely discover the traces of these ancient souls. It wouldn’t be too much for a heavenly mission from the Ghost Dao to descend on them.
"No matter what, we must give it a try." The Great Elder suddenly laughed boldly, "To return to the main world and see the humans of the new era, even if my soul is scattered, I will have no regrets..."
"Yes, by any means, I have lived hundreds of thousands of years longer, even if my soul completely perishes this time, I’m willing to give it a go..."
"I’m also willing..."
"Master, give us a chance..."
...
Lv Zhong had severely underestimated the urgency of the ghosts in the Soul Sage Hall to return to the main world.
For this opportunity, all the elders present did not care about any supposed heavenly mission.
For them, being able to enter the main world to see the changes in the world and the flourishing side of the human race, they would die without regret.
Over these hundreds of thousands of years, within the [Yu Emperor’s Nine Realms], only the elderly ghosts of the [Hell Ghost Realm] of Kun Ding still remember the origins and connections of all living beings in the [Yu Emperor’s Nine Realms]. They are the ones who hold the complete memories of the ancient era.
They have profound attachments to the era of prehistoric chaos and the human bloodline.
Having "lived" countless years, they feel increasingly lonely, and miss the outside world more and more. They hope to retrieve some pleasant memories from the ancient era in the main world outside.
Now, having the chance to go into the once-main world, even if there is an overwhelming danger, they are willing to give it a go. (To be continued.
