A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 901 - 887: Haunted

"Run, don't stop, inside the Eighteen Gates, run to the Third Level and you'll be safe!" Bao Yue whispered in Baiyu's ear.

At this moment.

Baiyu did not question her statement; he could feel the terrifying aura behind him and the desire to devour everything.

"What Eighteen Gates?"

He asked heavily.

Bao Yue's cold voice replied: "You came to the Carefree Blessed Land and don't know the Eighteen Gates? Are you here to court death? What year and number is it outside now?"

"It's the year one thousand of the Radiant Calendar now."

Baiyu replied.

"Radiant Calendar? The Celestial Essence Dynasty has ended?" Bao Yue's cold voice rarely showed a hint of change: "How many years has it been since the Celestial Essence Dynasty?"

It's been many years since a living person entered the Blessed Land.

Without reaching the second phase of the Spiritual Qi Revival, the Blessed Land won't open, and over the years, the second phase of the Spiritual Qi Revival has been few and far between.

"Not sure."

Baiyu replied coldly: "Explain to me about the Eighteen Gates first. Since you want me to take you there, I need to know what that place is."

He was currently contemplating strategies.

The opponent is a powerful female ghost; even though she's injured from the confrontation with the Shadow Emperor, she's still formidable. And she likely has some eerie tricks up her sleeve.

How to subdue her, eliminate her, or escape from her...

This requires careful consideration.

From previous encounters, this female ghost is vicious, viewing human life as trivial, absolutely unable to be left behind. Even if she can't be killed, she must be thoroughly escaped from. Otherwise, she'll definitely plot against him, and he won't know how he'll die.

But obviously.

This female ghost knows a lot of information.

Moreover, if not handled well, it may lead to severe repercussions.

"The Eighteen Gates are the eighteen checkpoints within this Carefree Blessed Land. Back then, this Blessed Land was the residence of the Carefree Hermit. But later, the Carefree Hermit was killed, and the entire Blessed Land was transformed into a Life Forbidden Land by adversaries using Great Divine Power.

The Eighteen checkpoints are the defense setup of this Blessed Land, layered one over another, with the innermost being the dojo of the Carefree Hermit.

We are currently in the First Level of the Eighteen Gates, the Reincarnation Ghost City.

All souls of those who died in the Blessed Land will be absorbed into the Ghost City, never to reincarnate. When the Carefree Hermit was still alive, he could summon thousands of ghost soldiers at his command, which was more terrifying than King Yama."

Baiyu's pupils narrowed.

Not only was he stunned by the Eighteen Gates, but also by the power of the Carefree Hermit, the master of the Blessed Land, terrifying indeed!

Of course, what surprised Baiyu even more.

Were Bao Yue's choice of words.

King Yama, Reincarnation... names steeped in ancient style.

"The Second Level is the Transverse Waterfall, the Third Level is the Floating River. As long as you pass the Floating River, you can escape the pursuit of the monsters within the Reincarnation Ghost City."

Bao Yue continued.

Baiyu nodded on the surface, but was still thinking of how to get out. The First Level was already this dangerous, so wouldn't the Second and Third Levels be even more terrifying? The rulers there are likely just as formidable as the Shadow Emperor.

"Hmph, young man, don't be afraid. As long as you cooperate obediently with me, I'll definitely spare your life, but if you try any tricks, don't blame me." Bao Yue's cold voice bore an unmistakable threat.

Wisps of cold energy seeped from Baiyu's back.

In that instant, Baiyu felt his internal organs being enveloped by this chilling aura. This was a brand new power, completely different from Extraordinary Power or Blood Qi. However, Bao Yue's slight release of this aura also revealed her location.

The opponent had been on Baiyu's back all along.

In an instant.

Eight drops of Golden Blood within Baiyu's body simultaneously exploded, surging power swept through his whole body, evaporating the cold energy completely. Then, the Golden Blood mixed with Blood Qi power surged towards Bao Yue.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed.

White smoke emanated from Bao Yue's body, even her bright red wedding robe had several burned holes.

"You're courting death..."

Bao Yue's eyes turned red in an instant, but a large hand grabbed her, tearing at her body, the power of Golden Blood flooding into her.

Originally, Golden Blood greatly restrained her cold energy.

With this.

It nearly took away half of Bao Yue's life, the originally fierce aura also waned in that moment. She stared at Baiyu in disbelief: "You're of the Golden Race, impossible, the Golden Race has long been extinct."

"You know about the Golden Race too?"

Baiyu felt relieved at this moment, as long as Golden Blood works, he wouldn't be too passive.

With this question, Bao Yue was about to respond but Baiyu's attack followed.

"Despicable."

Bao Yue snorted coldly, retreated rapidly, her whole body suddenly transformed into wisps of black smoke disappearing into the air, finally reappearing on Baiyu: "You can't kill me, relying on brute force to deal with me is impossible."

Baiyu knew this female ghost was difficult, never thought of killing her, as long as he intimidated her enough, he could deal with her easily outside the Blessed Land, right? Now knowing Bao Yue couldn't harm him, Baiyu no longer worried, heading in one direction.

That's where Igarashi Chitome was attacking, the entrance to deeper into the Blessed Land.

"Over there is the Seventh Level, going there is courting death." Bao Yue warned coldly, but Baiyu completely ignored her.

"Damn it, didn't you hear me? The Seventh Level is Stone King's domain, going there means death. Stone King has slept for so many years, what if he wakes, none of you will survive."

Bao Yue was somewhat anxious.

But Baiyu still didn't stop, continuing forward, soon a giant gorge appeared in sight.

On both sides of the gorge were two stone sculptures towering over a hundred meters tall.

But after years of wind and sand erosion, the surface of the stone sculptures was severely worn, making it impossible to discern what they were carved into.

Between the two sculptures was a narrow winding path.

But at this moment.

That winding path had been expanded several times over, there are obvious traces of explosives and heavy firepower, violently destroyed by someone.

Now in front of the winding path.

Dozens of tents were already set up, martial artists coming and going all around, mostly bearing the official symbols of the Great City.

This place has already been conquered.

Baiyu entered the tent cluster, quickly finding familiar faces, Amy.

As the City Lord's Attendant, when she saw Baiyu, her gaze was extremely strange: "How did you get entangled by a female ghost, and an old one at that? Looks like you're quite lucky in love."

Baiyu sighed: "I had no choice, that's why I came to find you guys. My master will pay the reward!"
