After being adopted by a tiger demon, I swept through the strange and chaotic world
#363 - Conquer demons and slay evil! Refine the Hundred Ghosts Banner!
Li Xiao's heart moved, and he pulled out a long sword from the Demon God Temple again.
The difference is that this time it is a sword of the highest grade Taoist weapon.
The moment the blade appeared, the old man in purple robe seemed to have sensed something and looked towards where Li Xiao was.
Li Xiao was not vague either. He shouted softly and raised his knife to chop:
“God·All streams return to one·God’s Demon-Subduing Sword!”
This god-level skill is not as powerful as the Great Compassion Palm that can kill enemies above its level, nor is it as powerful as the Absolute Sky Chasing Sun Sword that can attack the soul. As a god-level skill, its only outstanding feature is that it has an absolute suppressing effect on all demons and evil spirits!
The Palm of Great Compassion and Great Mercy can attack and kill across three levels, and the effect of the God Subduing Demons Palm, which has the same purpose, will naturally not be worse. As long as the target has evil spirit, it will be absolutely suppressed, no matter how big the gap between the two sides is, unless the opponent can directly prevent Li Xiao from launching this attack.
The price is that if this skill is not used to attack evil spirits, its lethality is not even as strong as the more powerful magical powers on the Kyushu continent.
But using it to attack the old man in purple robe is obviously... a perfect match for his profession!
"ah!"
The moment the sword energy appeared, the old man in purple robe felt as if he was locked by some terrifying existence. He could not move and could only watch as the surging sword energy enveloped him.
The sword energy was like waves, continuous and endless. When the light faded, the purple robe of the old man was already tattered and his aura had dropped several levels, barely maintaining the god-level.
With this strength, Li Xiao could kill him with just one hand.
But Li Xiao noticed with his sharp eyes that a look of relief appeared on the old man's face.
It was not until the tip of Li Xiao's sword was against his neck that the old man reacted.
He looked at Li Xiao kindly with a carefree smile on his face: "Thank you, young man."
Li Xiao did not dare to be careless, and asked in a deep voice without changing his hands:
"Who are you? Where is the 100th item?"
Li Xiao had a vague intuition that the old man in front of him could not be killed. If he really killed him, he would be doomed to fail in passing this level.
He didn't understand why he had this illusion, but it was very strong.
Li Xiao knew that this was the subconscious feedback brought about by high enough mental power, so ever since his mental power broke through 100,000 points, he has always trusted his intuition.
The old man pointed to his torn purple robe and said:
"This is the Night Demon Robe. I was originally the night watchman responsible for guarding the city's ghosts. In order to deal with me, the ghosts in the city each gave out a portion of their own incense, which enabled the Night Demon with the ability to possess a body to reach the god level, so that it could possess me and seek benefits for them...
You should have obtained the qualification for the Great Emperor Trial, right?"
Li Xiao remained silent, but he never put down the golden sword in his hand.
“Huh~ Only this can explain why the Great Emperor of Fengdu has been so slow to rectify the chaos. For an emperor-level trialist, the hundreds of ghosts in the city are enough. Only a great emperor-level trialist is worthy of my personal action.
You need 101 items to clear the level, right? Do you know what the 101st item is? "
Li Xiao shook his head, loosening the tip of his sword a little, and still said in a cold voice:
"Now I'm asking you."
Li Xiao said thoughtfully:
"Gather all the ghosts' things and combine them into a new item?"
Li Xiao did not say the word "Hundred Ghosts Banner" because it would be too suspicious. If he just guessed the synthesis, it would be barely reasonable.
Upon hearing this, the old man clapped his hands and laughed.
"Great, great, you have both strength and wisdom, and you are not careful when opening and closing. You are worthy of being the one who can be granted the trial of the emperor. Yes, you can refine the Hundred Ghost Banner by collecting the Hundred Ghost Things. The Hundred Ghost Things plus the Hundred Ghost Banner make up exactly one hundred and one items.
Boy, you should be thankful that you didn't kill me with one sword, otherwise you would be trapped in the Hundred Ghosts City forever, and never be able to reincarnate! Because... in this world, only I can refine the Hundred Ghosts Banner. Although there are other people in the underworld who can do it, if you can't refine the Hundred Ghosts Banner, you won't be able to go out and find others."
The old man stood up with a big laugh, pushed away Li Xiao's sword, picked up the Night Demon Armor on the ground, and handed a piece of it to Li Xiao.
[Night Demon Robe (Remnant): Kill the Night Demon or defeat the Night Watchman (Demonized). It is a remnant of the Night Demon's body that was refined through incense. The Night Demon can put it on any species and control its body.]
Li Xiao was secretly shocked when he read the introduction.
He had seen perverted skills before, but this was the first time he had seen such a perverted magic weapon.
Hmm...that's not right. The purpose and level of the Demon God Temple should be higher than this.
"Um, Senior, what exactly is this incense?"
The old man who was watching the night was squatting on the ground drawing runes. Hearing this, he looked up at him, touched his chin, and explained:
"You must have heard of incense. In the mortal world, people burn incense, candles, and paper money to worship their ancestors and gods. After these things are lit, the dead souls or gods in the underworld or heaven will receive the incense.
Incense is a hard currency in the underworld, and its value is much higher than ghost money. Ghost money can only be used for transactions between dead souls, but incense can not only be used for transactions, but also for cultivation or to increase the time of survival in the underworld. If the amount of incense collected reaches a certain amount, you can even choose to reincarnate as a god or directly exchange it for an official position or even a throne in the underworld...
However, the amount of incense required to exchange for the throne is tens of millions. In the hundreds of thousands of years that I have been guarding the underworld, I have only heard of it once. It is said that the King of Hell in the Fifth Hall collected tens of millions of incense sticks and joined the ranks of the King of Hell in the Ten Halls as a minor official. "
Li Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, but he moved closer out of curiosity.
The runes drawn by the old man were obscure and complicated. Even with Li Xiao's current mental strength, it was a bit difficult to read them. He was unable to remember them after looking at them once.
The old man clapped his hands, stood up, and spread his hands in front of Li Xiao:
"Give me the items you collected, and then go collect another batch. I will help you refine the Hundred Ghosts Banner."
Li Xiao scratched his head and said:
Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save the "bookshelf" and "reading record" in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!
"Senior, can you please release this secret realm first? I just summoned you and you used it..."
"The function of that copy is to summon me out. In addition to the one you have, you still need to collect another one."
The old man on night watch interrupted Li Xiao mercilessly with a strange expression on his face.
Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and almost stumbled and fell.
“It’s really… a pit… ah!”
Li Xiao didn't dare to say the word "father" out loud. Who knows if the Emperor of Fengdu is watching him? What if he speaks disrespectfully to the emperor and gets punished?
Li Xiao is not afraid of trouble, but he is not so idle that he has to try everything. It would be stupid to create trouble.
It is not easy to collect these items again. There are many ghosts that are hard to find and it is not easy to find them now.
However, Li Xiao had experience after all, so this time he was much faster.
During this period, Li Xiao met Fang Chaotong. This was the first time he saw someone accompanying him in the City of Hundred Ghosts, but it was understandable. After all, the indicators of the other people were no more than twenty-five, and the number of ghosts strolling on the streets was more than that. In addition, the strength of these ghosts was only at the god level. It would be strange that they had not passed after such a long time.
For example, Fang Chaotong is not troubled by the fact that he cannot defeat ghosts, but that he cannot find enough fifty kinds of ghosts.
Li Xiao collected the things he needed and gave some instructions.
Anyway, these are his appointed subordinates, and are considered members of Xiaoyao Demon City. He should naturally help them if he can, otherwise it would seem that he, the king, is incompetent.
In the end, the two of them completed their targets at the same time. A beam of light flashed before Li Xiao's eyes, and Fang Chaotong had been teleported out of this world.
Li Xiao's guess was correct. This Hundred Ghosts City was indeed an independent little world.
After expressing his feelings, Li Xiao followed the method taught by the night watchman and once again entered the secret realm with only one small path.
"How on earth is this done? A world within a world?"
The night watchman placed the ninety-nine items that Li Xiao had collected on the ground beside him, and threw them one by one in the corresponding positions of the magic circle on the ground in order. Upon hearing this, he said without raising his head:
"It is impossible to open up another secret realm in a man-made world. Opening up the world is to use space cracks. And if you are inside a space crack, where are there new space cracks to open up?"
"Then you..."
Li Xiao hated these people who kept people in suspense.
"Well, you should know it yourself, don't you have a space artifact?"
"You... uh... huh? Um, that's a divine weapon?"
Li Xiao thought about it for a moment and understood how the other party knew it. After all, the items dropped by the toilet ghost were too weird. If he didn't have the space magic weapon, he would not have been able to bring it here without changing his expression. Obviously, even he himself didn't believe it.
He was curious about how the other party determined that it was a divine weapon.
"Tsk, it's very simple. If it's not a divine weapon, how can it store top-grade Taoist tools? Top-grade Taoist tools can only hold top-grade Taoist tools at most, and cannot store items of the same level."
Li Xiao was thinking for a while, then he realized it and said in a lost voice: "You mean, this whole city is a divine weapon?"
The old man who was watching the night had already thrown all the items onto the formation. He clapped his hands, threw the mourning stick he used to carry manure aside, and exclaimed:
"A divine weapon cannot support so many ghosts. The Hundred Ghosts City is one of the few innate holy weapons in the underworld..."
"Holy...ah?" Li Xiao blinked, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川".
If the Demon God Temple wasn't counted, he didn't even have a divine weapon, but now even a holy weapon has appeared...
He now looks like a big fool wearing a big gold chain and daring to enter the Second Ring Road of Beijing.
I thought I was rich enough, but now I find myself like I just came out of a refugee slum.
"Wait a minute, you said... Innate Sacred Artifact? What is Innate? What is the corresponding Acquired Sacred Artifact?"
"You have too many questions... But it just so happens that you still need some time to refine the Hundred Ghosts Banner, so I will give you a good introduction."
Li Xiao was very tactful and pulled out a chair from the Demon God Temple and handed it over.
The old man on night watch raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, obviously very pleased. He was almost about to say "Young man, you have a bright future."
"Ahem, first of all, it's not just holy weapons. Divine weapons can also be divided into innate and acquired."
"As the name suggests, the innate holy weapon was not made by human sacrifice, but was born naturally. If you must say it was man-made, it was made by the Creator, but that is all unfounded. The more authoritative statement is that it was formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over many years. This process took at least a million years, and at most tens of millions of years. It was something that happened before the birth of humans, monsters, and even all races.
Correspondingly, acquired holy tools and divine tools are naturally made by humans. Of course, not only divine tools and holy tools, but also Taoist tools can be divided into innate and acquired. However, for things like Taoist tools, it is meaningless to distinguish whether they are made by humans or by nature. "
Li Xiao was secretly shocked, feeling bitter. The Dao weapon that attracted countless people in the mortal world had become something worth discussing...
"Well, don't think too much. I'm not saying that Taoist weapons are worthless. Top-grade Taoist weapons are not that common even in the underworld. Low-level officials like us only have one. It's just that compared to the level of innate and acquired Taoist weapons, the discussion of Taoist weapons is meaningless.
After all, the unique advantages of innate magic weapons over acquired magic weapons will only be revealed at the artifact level.
For example, if the innate holy weapon is scored 100 points, then the acquired holy weapon is 80 points, the innate divine weapon is 50 points, the acquired divine weapon is 40 points, the innate Taoist weapon is 20 points, and the acquired Taoist weapon is 18 points...
Below the level of a divine weapon, the craftsman's skills can wipe out the long-term nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But it's different for divine artifacts. No matter how talented and experienced the craftsmen are, the divine artifacts they create will always be inferior to the real divine artifacts. At most, they can be on par with the real ones. Such craftsmen are only seen once in a hundred thousand years. Even if a divine artifact is created by a saint craftsman, the quality can only be on par with that of an innate divine artifact of the same level. If they want to surpass an innate divine artifact in quality... at least I have never seen one.
As for the holy artifacts, there is no need to say more. Each of them is a rare treasure that cannot be replicated. It is too cheap to describe it as priceless. The total number of innate holy artifacts in the entire underworld is only a handful. Except for the sea-suppressing monument in the Nether Sea, all of them are in the underworld. Looking at the mortal world, I am afraid that not even one can be found...
Hiss~ That's not right. I vaguely remember that 100,000 years ago, there seemed to be someone in the mortal world called... Li something. Oh, I've been dealing with ghosts in this city for too long, so I've forgotten a little bit. Anyway, he was a very powerful person. It is said that he had an innate holy weapon in his hand... I think it was called... What was it called? I forgot. If you want to ask, go to the back and ask... Hmm..."
Li Xiao saw beads of sweat on the other party's forehead, as if he had seen something horrible.
The old man on night watch wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly, and said with some fear:
"I cannot reveal the details of the subsequent trials. You can find out for yourself."
After saying that, the old man sat up from his chair and stared intently at the magic circle in front of him that was glowing green...
