Chapter 85: Second Journey into the Netherworld, the Favor of the Supreme Being (Fourth Update)
There were gusts of cold wind on the Forgotten River.

This was Zhou Haochen’s second time in Jiuyou, and he was still shocked by the scene before him.

The Forgotten River that comes into view stretches all the way to the horizon, as if there is no end.

Unlike ordinary rivers with vast and mighty waters, the Wangchuan River is extremely peaceful...the word "dead silence" might be more appropriate.

It's like a pool of stagnant water.

The river water is filled with a strong yin energy, and even after tens of thousands of years, there is no sign of it dissipating.

After Zhou Haochen's soul entered the Netherworld, the great scholar's calligraphy seemed to be stimulated and automatically floated around Zhou Haochen.

A warm feeling came from the jade slip, which was so comfortable that Zhou Haochen almost couldn't help but moan.

"Is this the effect of protecting the soul?"

Zhou Haochen's eyes lit up and he murmured something.

The calligraphy of the great scholar presented by Mr. Cangsong has the effect of resisting the evil wind and protecting the soul.

With this great scholar's calligraphy, Zhou Haochen estimated that the time he could stay in the Nine Netherworlds could be more than doubled.

Zhou Haochen recalled the last time he explored the route, chose an evil ghost that he could deal with, and flew over.

[Water Land: The best hexagram. Go straight ahead and encounter a third-level ghost. After killing it, you can get a sixth-level opportunity. Very auspicious.]

[Earth Mountain: Middle hexagram, change of direction, nothing gained and nothing lost, flat.]

Zhou Haochen was not surprised at all when he saw the hexagram.

Last time, I was not well prepared, I was tied up and had to avoid everything.

This time he was fully prepared, and many ghosts were no match for him.

Although the ghosts and spirits that went there had the cultivation level of the third realm, their realm was one realm higher than Zhou Haochen.

But when the real fight started, Zhou Haochen was not afraid at all.

Thunder magic, the nemesis of ghosts.

The Soul-Respecting Banner is the father of ghosts.

The calligraphy of a great scholar, the grandfather of ghosts.

The mark of the reincarnation seal, the ancestor of ghosts.

How could we lose such a rich battle?

In less than ten breaths, ripples began to appear in the calm Forgotten River.

The ghosts in the Wangchuan River noticed Zhou Haochen, the uninvited guest.

The ghost, who had a strong sense of territory, roared and rushed out from underwater.

It is covered with fur, has sharp teeth and claws, and has water plants hanging around its neck.

It looks just like the legendary water ghost!
Boo!
A sharp cry came from the water ghost's mouth.

This cry was mixed with a terrifying cold wind that swept towards Zhou Haochen.

"Humph--"

"court death!"

Zhou Haochen snorted coldly, pinched his fingers and made a gesture, and red thunder was dancing on his fingertips.

Then, with a flick of his fingertips, red thunder shot out.

Bing Fire True Thunder!

This time, Zhou Haochen did not use the Ren Water True Thunder, but the Bing Fire True Thunder, which was more powerful and more suitable for dealing with ghosts and spirits.

After the prince gave Feng Huai the Eight-Angled Mysterious Fire Grass as an apology, Zhou Haochen refined the Eight-Angled Mysterious Fire Grass and, with the help of the Bing Fire essence contained in it, refined it into Bing Fire True Thunder.

Because of the experience in practicing Ren Water True Thunder, the practice of Bing Fire True Thunder went more smoothly and effortlessly, without encountering any difficulties.

A roar!
Thunder exploded!
The Binghuo Zhenlei in Zhou Haochen's hand turned into a red thunderbird and flew away.

After just one encounter, the dark wind unleashed by the water ghost was torn apart by the thunderbird.

It's so easy, as simple as tearing off a piece of white paper.

Feel the terrifying thunder from the red thunderbird.

The water ghost showed fear on his face. His already pale face became even paler than paper, as if it was almost transparent.

A chirp!
A strange cry came out of the water ghost's mouth.

Then, without looking back, he plunged into the Forgotten River, intending to escape.

"Run?" "Can you run?"

Zhou Haochen pointed his finger and the red thunderbird chased after him.

It cut through the void with lightning speed.

The next second, it hit the water ghost.

Crackling!

Countless lightning snakes roamed over the water ghost, emitting thick green smoke.

In less than a breath, the water ghost became weak and it was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Haochen waved the Soul-Respecting Banner in his hand, which emitted a strong yin energy and rolled it towards the water ghost.

The severely injured water ghost had no power to resist the Soul-Respecting Banner and was absorbed into it, becoming a soul slave.

The whole process went smoothly.

It took less than ten breaths from the time the water ghost appeared to the time he was subdued by the Soul-Respecting Banner.

The ease and carefreeness made Zhou Haochen feel like he was playing Pokémon.

First, beat the Pokémon to a pulp, then throw the Poké Ball to capture the Pokémon.

After subduing the water ghost, Zhou Haochen dived into the Wangchuan River to search for the treasures guarded by the water ghost.

Soon, he found the sixth-grade opportunity in the hexagram - the Earth Dragon Seven-Leaf Clover - under the Forgotten River.

Earth Dragon Clover contains rich essence of Wu Earth, which can be used to practice Wu Earth True Thunder.

Including the True Thunder of Ren Water and Bing Fire, Zhou Haochen has mastered half of the Five Elements Thunder Technique without realizing it.

The only two remaining items away from practicing the peerless magical power of the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder are the Jiamu True Thunder and the Gengjin True Thunder.

The Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, this peerless magical power, came from the Thunder God Seal, and Zhou Haochen was still very much looking forward to it.

The inheritance in the Thunder God Seal is extraordinary. The first inheritance helped Zhou Haochen awaken the Five Thunder Spirits.

As for the inheritance of the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is an extremely powerful killing magic.

After receiving the Earth Dragon Seven-Leaf Clover, Zhou Haochen continued to explore the Forgotten River.

Along the way, they also subdued several evil spirits and looted the natural treasures they were guarding.

Although it is not as good as Earth Dragon Seven Leaf Clover, it is not lacking in spiritual herbs like Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower, which have become extinct in the world.

Zhou Haochen couldn't help but sigh that Jiuyou was an undeveloped virgin land.

It has not been visited by anyone for countless years.

Opportunities are everywhere!

Treasures like Earth Dragon Clover, which are extremely rare in the human world, are not uncommon in Jiuyou.

There is no telling how many treasures are hidden under the Forgotten River alone.

Zhou Haochen was fortunate that he obtained the mark of the reincarnation seal, and by chance, he came to Jiuyou.

So...what about Tai Shuqing?
Has he been to Jiuyou?

Does he know that the mark of the reincarnation seal is the key to entering the Nine Netherworlds?

Half an hour later.

Zhou Haochen once again came to the destination of his last exploration of Jiuyou.

The plaque of the gate of hell!

To be precise, it is half a plaque, inserted horizontally on the bank of the Forgotten River.

"Can I take this plaque with me?"

There was a hint of contemplation in Zhou Haochen's eyes.

Although we don’t know the purpose of the Ghost Gate plaque, this plaque has stood here for countless years and is obviously a valuable treasure.

At this moment, Zhou Haochen's eyebrows felt hot, golden light shone brightly in the Bagua diagram, and the hexagrams appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Water and Wind: The best hexagram. If you leave the plaque alone, it will attract the favor of the Supreme Being and you will get a third-grade opportunity. The subsequent cause and effect involving the Supreme Being will be very auspicious.]

[Zefeng: Middle-lower hexagram. Take the plaque away. If it is a blessing, you will get a fourth-grade opportunity. If it is a disaster, three days later, the patrol team of the City of Wrongful Death will pass by here and find that the plaque of Ghost Gate has disappeared. This will attract the pursuit of the Gluttonous Ghost King. Minor disaster.]

[Shan Ze: A bad hexagram. Try to destroy the plaque, and the plaque will counterattack. The soul will be seriously injured. Very bad.]
