Chapter 1783 The Terrifying Mining Area, the Arrival of the Ghost Emperor
Nine Nether Soul Liquid is a top-tier natural treasure in the Nine Nether Realm, and is the best cultivation resource for most Saint Realm experts in the Nine Nether Realm to step into the Saint Emperor Realm.
Now that he had seen him on this island, Mo Fan naturally wouldn't let him go.
He manipulated the ghost king to continuously collect the soul liquid for the duration of an incense stick, until finally no more soul liquid seeped from the spring.
The amount of Nine Nether Soul Liquid that the Ghost King collected was truly astonishing. According to the previous division by the White Bone Ghost King and the others, this Nine Nether Soul Liquid was enough for a thousand portions!
"According to previous information, the Soul Liquid is produced only once a year, which means that the Soul Liquid produced on this island would require at least a thousand years of accumulation!"
Mo Fan whispered, a hint of disbelief in his eyes, but then he grinned, a wilder idea forming in his mind.
Soon, he controlled the ghost king to transform into a wisp of ghostly mist and seep directly into the spring.
This infiltration took a full thousand feet, and at the same time, Mo Fan discovered that as the Ghost King descended, the connection between the Soul-Devouring Banner and the Ghost King became weaker and weaker.
Fortunately, after diving a thousand feet, the black mist that the Ghost King had transformed into finally reached the deepest part of the spring, and then Mo Fan saw an astonishing scene through the shared vision of the Ghost King.
It was a deep blue mining area, filled with deep blue crystals everywhere. He also noticed that many of these crystals were slowly melting like solid ice, gathering into drops of deep blue liquid.
And that azure liquid was none other than the Nine Nether Soul Liquid!
"What... exactly is this crystal?"
"It can actually produce Nine Nether Soul Liquid?"
Mo Fan was shocked. He then summoned all the ghost kings in the Changgui Space and asked them about the origin of the Nine Nether Soul Liquid.
However, none of these ghost kings, whether corpses, nightmares, or those ghost kings who originally lived in the Soul Sea, knew how the Nine Nether Soul Liquid came about; they only knew that it came from the forbidden zone outside the Soul Sea.
As for the azure crystal, they had never heard of it.
Seeing that he could not get any useful information from these ghosts, Mo Fan put them back into the ghost space. Then he ordered the ghost king on the island to collect all the azure crystals, making sure not to waste any.
However, the Ghost King unexpectedly discovered many golden insects while collecting those azure crystals.
Looking through the Ghost King's eyes, he realized that these were not insects at all.
These are clearly the same tentacle-like monsters that appeared in the sea of blood before!
These golden tentacles were numerous, densely intertwined, hidden in the crimson soil behind each piece of azure crystal, making Mo Fan's scalp tingle.
Fortunately, none of these tentacles moved, but they were not inanimate objects, because Mo Fan could clearly feel the Ghost King's deep-seated fear.
Therefore, he guessed that although these golden tentacles were not dead, they were in a state of slumber.
Mo Fan dared not delay and immediately ordered the ghost king to retreat from the spring above.
Although there were still many azure crystals in the mining area that had not been collected, Mo Fan dared not let the Ghost King continue its actions at this moment, for fear of waking up the slumbering monsters, which would be a greater loss than gain.
In this way, the Ghost King successfully withdrew from the mining area and returned to the island's surface along the spring, without disturbing the monsters in the mining area.
"Uncle Qian, what exactly are those monsters?"
Mo Fan consulted Grandpa Qian in his mind.
"I don't know. I've never seen those monsters before, but they look somewhat familiar. However, they shouldn't be those things," Grandpa Qian replied.
"What is it?" Mo Fan asked casually.
"A type of ancient corpse worm, which is born from the corpse of a powerful person after their death."
"However, the ancient corpse worms are almost all white, and their numbers are far less than that terrifying. Once they have completely devoured the corpse, they will leave quickly and rarely attack cultivators," Grandpa Qian explained.
"That shouldn't be that ancient corpse worm, after all, that thing can easily kill even a ghost cultivator at the Saint Venerable Realm."
Mo Fan shook his head in agreement after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the reason why the tentacle monster in the sea of blood didn't dare to chase after that island was because of the monsters sleeping in that mining area?"
"That's highly likely!"
"After all, judging from the previous battles, this thing seems to have different ranks. Among them, the blood-red tentacles should be the most common type. They seem crazy, but they are also very weak and cannot withstand the bombardment of the power of laws."
Secondly, there are the pale golden tentacles. These tentacles seem to have the ability to travel through space and are not afraid of attacks from the power of laws.
Then there were those golden tentacles that the Ghost King had seen in the underground mining area! "Old Qian said in a deep voice.
"I also think so."
Mo Fan nodded, but was also somewhat shocked. If that were true, how terrifying would those golden tentacles in the underground mining area of the island be?
"Kid, how about we give up?"
"This sea of blood is far more dangerous than I anticipated. I reckon even a Great Saint cultivator might not fare well inside. If we go any deeper, who knows what dangers we might encounter."
Grandpa Qian suddenly had second thoughts.
"Uncle Qian, this isn't like you at all!"
"You told me before that the path of cultivation is about striving for 'competition,' so why are you backing down now?" Mo Fan frowned slightly.
"Who...who chickened out?"
Grandpa Qian immediately spoke up, somewhat annoyed, then sighed and said, "This immortal simply feels it's unnecessary."
Even if we're going to fight for something, it'll be for our own benefit. Right now, we don't even know what that thing is, or whether it's good or bad for you.
But as things stand, the danger in this sea of blood is clearly visible.
Therefore, this Immortal Venerable feels it's unnecessary to risk one's life for an unknown opportunity.
Mo Fan looked puzzled upon hearing this, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle Qian, are you hiding something from me?"
"Uh... how could that be!"
"Really?"
"Ahem... Of course not."
"Okay, you're honest, I believe you!"
Mo Fan sighed helplessly. He was certain that Grandpa Qian was hiding something from him, but he didn't know why the other party was so hesitant and unwilling to tell him.
"So you've agreed to leave this place, Venerable Immortal?"
Grandpa Qian spoke with some delight, and Mo Fan could clearly hear the obvious relief in his voice, which made him feel even more strange.
"No, the fact that this place is so dangerous only proves that this thing is extraordinary!"
"So I've decided to take the risk and give it a try. After all, we've come this far, we can't just leave empty-handed, can we?"
Mo Fan's lips curled slightly, but his words immediately silenced Grandpa Qian.
He had expected Grandpa Qian to try to persuade him again, but after a brief silence, Grandpa Qian said in a deep voice, "Alright! Since you've made your decision, then this Immortal Venerable will do everything in my power to help you!"
"Thank you, Uncle Qian!"
Mo Fan took a deep breath, then prepared to take off and head straight for the sea of blood.
But just then, a furious roar suddenly came from afar:
"Nine Infants, do you think you can escape death by escaping to the depths of the Soul Sea?"
"Today, I, the Emperor, will surely slay you!!"
