Chapter 1605 - Dongming City
As for the other dead spirits, one could not step foot into the "Consonance Palace" without the permission of the Nine Spirit Your Highness. However, this dead spirit first stayed with the Nine Spirit Your Highness in the small hall.
To be so favored by the Nine Spirit Your Highness, how could they not be envious and jealous to the point of going crazy?
Just that, what was the background of this fellow? I have never seen a level sixteen undead before. It should have been recruited from the "Domain" by the Nine Spirit Your Highness. In this Nine Spirit City, a level sixteen Death Spirit was considered the strongest expert other than the Nine Spirit Your Highness.
Just as these undead were thinking about such things, Nine Spirits' gaze swept across them, and then, Nine Spirits' cold voice rang out. "You, you, you … And you, follow me to Dongming City! "
Every time a dead spirit was called out, black death aura would come out of its mouth and enter its body.
"Yes!"
This aura of death was pure to the extreme. After obtaining this aura of death, one could not help but feel indescribably excited. In just a short moment, there were nine fifteen-step Death Spirit Masters that had been hit by the Nine Spirit Points, and none of them had been hit. All of them looked extremely disappointed, but none of them dared to show any dissatisfaction.
"Let's go!"
"Yes sir!"
The Nine Spirits flapped their wings and a hurricane immediately appeared. Pang Shuang's nine-colored body soared into the sky and roared towards the west of the city. Behind the nine spirits, Tang Huan and the other nine level fifteen undead followed closely. In an instant, eleven figures had left Nine Spirit City far behind.
They moved as fast as lightning through the air.
From time to time, a city of large and small dead spirits would pass by, and the nine spirits would no longer use the aura of death to hide their bodies, their massive and gorgeous bodies revealing their identity like bright lanterns. Wherever she went, anyone with a higher cultivation base would see her off.
Several days later, a city that was countless times larger than Nine Spirit City gradually appeared in the sky.
That was the Eastcloud City. There were countless undead spirits gathered within the city, and their size was not any less than the big city like the Crimson Light Heaven 'Jade Imperial City'. The sky above the city was not as dark and gloomy as the other areas, but was instead bright and resplendent. Of course, this place was still barren of any vegetation.
The moment he saw Dongming City, Tang Huan had a feeling that his eyes suddenly brightened up.
However, there was a boundless aura of death surrounding the city. The black mist formed by the death aura surrounded the entire city, leaving only the east, south, west and north corridors that were hundreds of miles wide. The aura of death that surrounded the city was beyond imagination.
It was said that only those who had surpassed the twenty-first step could enter the deathly aura surrounding the city to cultivate.
If any other undead were to forcefully charge in, not to mention cultivation, they would be crushed by the death aura pressure and then completely melted away in just a few breaths of time. Of course, for level 22 or 3 undead, even if they could enter, they wouldn't be able to cultivate for long periods of time.
Following the passageway to the east of the city, eleven figures were flying at lightning speed. Not long later, they arrived in front of a stone monument that was thousands of meters tall.
Astonishingly, the stone tablet was carved with the two extremely large and bulky characters "Dongming".
After passing through the stone stele, they had truly entered the borders of the Dongming City. At this moment, there were a large number of dead spirits going in and out of the stone tablet, bustling with activity.
As for Tang Huan and the other members of the same clan who were at the fifteenth and sixteenth stage, it seemed as if they did not see the surrounding dead spirits. After a short moment of shock, there were also many dead spirits that had a look of understanding. It was likely that they had recognized the Nine Spirits.
Once in Dongming City, no undead were allowed to fly in the sky, showing their respect to the Eastern Emperor.
With Nine Spirits' massive body, entering the city wouldn't be convenient. Thus, almost in an instant, the body of the Nine Spirits Pang Shou trembled, and he turned into a little girl wearing a nine-coloured dress. Jiu Ling ignored the surrounding gazes. With a wave of her small hand, she took the lead and floated forward.
Netherworld City. There were no city walls.
After the giant monument was less than a hundred meters away, there were many different types of buildings that rose and fell continuously. Streets crisscrossed between the buildings. On the streets, it was bustling with activity and clamoring.
A dead spirit's way of life was very different from a human cultivator's.
Humans gave birth to offspring through the union of a man and a woman, and undead souls were not separated by any gender. If their cultivation reached a certain point, they could nurture a new heart ring from their own heart ring. This kind of ring was called a 'sub-ring'. With the 'sub-ring' as the foundation, it could slowly give birth to a young undead spirit.
This child was his descendant.
A dead spirit can reproduce as many descendants as it has a heart ring. However, this was only in theory. Under normal circumstances, only when the undead felt that it was difficult to break through their cultivation would they be able to develop a "sub ring" from their Heart Ring. Because at this time, there was a high chance of breaking through.
At other times, if he were to nurture a "sub ring", it would not have much of an advantage for the dead spirit and would also greatly reduce his own strength.
But even so, the speed at which the dead were reproducing was still extremely shocking. Compared to the human cultivators of the "Nether Life Domain", they were not at all inferior. As Tang Huan walked on the street, from time to time, he would see hordes of undead kids floating around the crowd, with sharp cries of joy never ending.
For these children, the older ones are more tolerant.
Aside from the dead spirits, one could also occasionally see one or two people on the street that were very similar to human cultivators. Tang Huan could immediately tell that some of them were illusions of nether beasts. Some of them were like the Nine Spirits, changing completely, with some even becoming half-finished.
Perhaps there was a human head on top of the neck, or a nether beast's body below the neck, or a human body below the neck, and above that was the nether beast's head.
This "Nether Death Realm" was not like the lower realms. Beasts needed to be able to completely transform themselves before they could go through heavenly tribulation.
But here, the restrictions on the beast type were not that great. The native-born nether beast, after becoming a level twelve undead, had the ability to attempt to transform into a Spiritual Beast. Of course, whether it would succeed or not was something else entirely. Moreover, even if they succeeded, few would be able to surpass nine spirits in terms of appearance.
From time to time, there were dead spirits that wanted to strike up a conversation, but were completely ignored by the nine spirits. The little guy brought Tang Huan and the other ten undead spirits and headed towards the center of the Eastern Underworld City. There were living quarters for the princes there, and if they wanted to attend the "Royal Spirit Ceremony", they had to go there as well.
In this Dongming City, there was also a polder city.
The market was selling all kinds of items, including weapons and other tools from the Netherworld, as well as all kinds of strange things, but most of them were a kind of black stone. Tang Huan knew that this was a very famous "Nether Immortal Stone" in the "Nether Death Realm" that had a miraculous effect on the cultivation of undead spirits.
