“Meanwhile, in the Ye family of the Bitter Cold City.”
“Ying Naiyan put down the book in her hands and looked out at the darkening sky.”
“Unconsciously, her husband Ye Yu had been out for quite some time.”
“There was still no news of him, and no telling when he would return.”
“She truly missed him.”
“Suddenly, the Underworld began to quake violently.”
“Immediately after, a surging tide of ghostly energy swept in from afar.”
“The entire process lasted several breaths.”
“Ying Naiyan’s expression grew grave. It seemed the ghostly energy of the Underworld was awakening once more.”
“So that meant this time, it must be the awakening of a Ghost King Realm ghost creature?”
(Underworld ranks: Ghost Immortal, Profound Ghost, Earth Ghost, Heaven Ghost, Underworld Ghost, Ghost Lord, Ghost King, Ghost Emperor!)
“Ying Naiyan inexplicably felt a sense of unease.”
“This won’t do. I must call Ye Yu back.”
“The awakening of a Ghost King Realm ghost meant the dangers outside would increase.”
“Ye Yu needed to cultivate well before going out to travel again. Otherwise, Ying Naiyan truly felt uneasy.”
“Thus, Ying Naiyan took out a communication stone from her storage ring, just as she was about to contact Ye Yu.”
“A figure suddenly appeared behind her and raised a hand!”
“Elsewhere.”
“Ye Yu had already approached the riverbank’s edge.”
“It must be known, among the Six Realms, treasures were abundant.”
“No one knew where they might encounter what kind of /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ wonder or what treasure they might obtain.”
“So when Ye Yu saw that light, instinctively, he thought it was some rare treasure.”
“But as he approached closer.”
“Suddenly, the ground shook violently.”
“A roaring ghostly energy began to erupt wildly.”
“Before Ye Yu could even stabilize himself.”
“The light there grew even more dazzling.”
“Then, an unprecedentedly strong suction force appeared.”
“Even though Ye Yu’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Underworld Ghost Realm, he had no resistance whatsoever against this suction.”
“In an instant, he was pulled inside.”
“Ye Yu only felt darkness before his eyes.”
“When his vision cleared again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.”
“It looked like a stone cavern, not very large, and at the center stood a giant egg three zhang tall.”
“Yes, a giant egg!”
“Not only did it emit dazzling seven-colored light, but it also pulsated like human lungs, expanding and contracting with a breathing rhythm.”
“This miraculous sight made Ye Yu very curious.”
“What exactly is this thing?”
“He cautiously moved forward and tried to probe its internal structure with his divine sense.”
“But unfortunately.”
“The outer layer seemed wrapped by a mysterious force.”
“Ye Yu’s divine sense was completely blocked outside, unable to obtain any useful information.”
“So after pondering for a moment, Ye Yu boldly placed his hand on the egg.”
“In an instant, the once intact egg surface suddenly cracked all over.”
“This sudden change left Ye Yu dumbfounded.”
“He had no idea what was happening.”
“Then, a piece of the shell fell off.”
“A thick ghostly energy burst out from within.”
“Ye Yu instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but unexpectedly, his hand felt stuck as if glued on, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t withdraw it.”
“This instantly made him panic.”
“But suddenly.”
“From inside the broken eggshell, a pair of golden eyes appeared, incomparably deep.”
“They gave an inexplicable sense of calm.”
“Just as Ye Yu wanted to carefully see what was inside.”
“The giant egg exploded instantly.”
“In the face of this explosion, Ye Yu’s soul body shattered like porcelain.”
The surrounding scene instantly collapsed.
Ye Yu abruptly opened his eyes, gasping in the celestial energy of the Heavenly Realm.
Damn!
What exactly was that thing?
And it just ended with a simple explosion?
Damn, that death was too frustrating!
Completely unexpected!
But those golden eyes were really special, as if still in front of him now.
At this moment, before the system voice could sound,
A sudden knock came from outside.
Then, Zhu Diezhen’s real voice came through.
“Husband, are you awake? I have something to tell you.”
Hearing this, Ye Yu slowly got up, walked outside, and opened the door, asking with curiosity, “What is it? Did something happen?”
Zhu Diezhen stood outside with a smile and said softly, “An old friend of yours from the mortal realm came by, so I specially brought her to meet you.”
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
An old acquaintance from the mortal realm?
And not my wife? Who could it be?
Curious, Ye Yu watched as Zhu Diezhen stepped aside to reveal the person behind her.
Seeing this visitor,
Ye Yu’s expression was extremely remarkable.
“Why are you here?”
...Meanwhile, in the Ye Mansion of Bitter Cold City, Ying Naiyan took out a cup of spirit tea and placed it in front of a palace-dressed woman.
Yes, the palace-dressed woman who had been sleeping all this time.
With the recent revival of ghostly energy, she had completely awakened.
About an incense stick’s time ago,
When Ying Naiyan was about to use the communication stone to contact Ye Yu,
The palace-dressed woman raised her hand and patted her shoulder.
Seeing this ghost’s awakening, Ying Naiyan felt very surprised.
Through conversation, she learned:
This woman’s name was Dongkui, a half-step Ghost King realm powerhouse.
The reason she had been sleeping so long was because the Underworld’s ghostly energy was insufficient to support her awakening.
At first hearing this, Ying Naiyan was puzzled.
That wasn’t right. When Ye Yu and she first met Dongkui, it was just after the ghostly energy had revived.
At that time, only a Ghost Lord realm had just awakened.
If Dongkui really was half-step Ghost King back then, how could she have appeared at that time?
Completely illogical.
For this question, Dongkui didn’t know how to explain.
She vaguely remembered that it felt noisy back then.
A surge of ghostly energy filled her body.
Then Dongkui awakened.
In a terrible mood, she didn’t hesitate and attacked Xiao Jibo.
However, because she used too much ghostly energy, she fell asleep again.
And now, with the ghostly energy revived once more, Dongkui had finally fully awakened.
