Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 570 - 61: Valkyrie’s Testament_3

Chapter 570 -61: Valkyrie’s Testament_3

“So you are also a Ghost Cultivator,” Yan Yu said.

The old man just smiled and did not answer this question, but continued:

“In the Era of Dharma Extinction, this place has been isolated from the outside world, and it has been a long time since any outsiders have come here.”

“There was a Ghost Cultivator named ‘Xue Ren’, adept at the arts of Servant Ghost and Control Ghost, self-titled ‘Nine Nether Ghost King’, under whom countless fierce souls and evil ghosts served. He once married another Ghost Cultivator named ‘Yin Rou’, allegedly originally from the Emei Sword Sect. After betraying the sect, she was pursued and her physical body was destroyed, causing her to fall into the Ghost Path. This woman was skilled in Sword Control and Paperman manipulation, self-titled ‘Nether Sword Ghost Mother’, and her strength was on par with Xue Ren.”

“These two were originally Daoist couples, but due to certain reasons, they developed grudges and turned against each other, each hoping to put the other to death to dominate this part of the Netherworld. Xue Ren occupied the north, and Yin Rou the east, constantly dispatching their forces to fight each other or to sweep through and capture wandering souls and stray cultivators like us, to bolster their forces.”

“Having no choice, we could only hide underground, waiting for the Ghost King and Ghost Mother to determine the victor, before making any further plans.”

With just a few words, this old man clearly described the situation in this part of the Netherworld.

The northern area is ruled by the Ghost King Xue Ren, while the eastern area is the territory of the Ghost Mother Yin Rou. These two major powers are constantly fighting each other, and those third-party forces that do not wish to join either side, whether they are Ghost Cultivators or mortal souls, can only hide in the western part of the town underground, barely clinging to survival.

“How strong are this Ghost King and Ghost Mother?” Yan Yu asked again.

“Neither has formed a Ghost Pill,” the old man replied, “otherwise, the victor would likely have been decided by now.”

Ghost Cultivators can also form pills, but without a physical body, forming a pill is extremely difficult, and even a successful formation would likely be of a low rank, devoid of Yang spirits, all Yin residues.

Both of these BOSSes have not formed a Ghost Pill but have cultivated in the Netherworld for so many years, they are probably at the Great Perfection stage of the Hua Mansion.

“May I ask, old man,” Yan Yu continued to inquire, “does this part of the Netherworld have a nerve center?”

“Of course,” the old man said, “to the north there originally was an official residence housing the Judge, who administrated this part of the Netherworld. Inside the residence is a small bell; if struck, the gateways of the Underworld will open, allowing one to return to the mortal world. It’s likely now in Xue Ren’s possession.”

“I understand now, thank you for the information,” Yan Yu said.

As he turned to leave, he heard the old man call out from behind:

“If it proves too difficult, you two needn’t be too eager to force the issue. Both the Ghost King and Ghost Mother regard each other as mortal enemies; it might just be a matter of time before they both suffer a crippling defeat, giving us a chance.”

At this, Yan Yu just smiled and remained silent.

Upon reaching the outside, he saw Li Minghu chatting with a little girl’s ghost.

“This child is a modern person; her parents were working away from home and were not in the village when the incident occurred,” Valkyrie transmitted telepathically, sighed, and said, “As a result, the girl was drawn into this place, her physical body corrupted and killed by the Yin energy, turning into a ghost… I don’t know how heartbroken her parents would be.”

“Some things, there really isn’t a way,” Yan Yu also consoled her.

“Once we control the nerve center of the Mysterious Realm, they’ll be able to leave this place and go to the Underworld to be reincarnated,” Li Minghu continued, “I plan to let them leave some last words, to be given to their relatives after they pass.”

“That’s possible, but do you have paper and pen?”

“I can record it on my phone.” Li Minghu brought out his phone, turned on the screen, and forced a smile, “Fortunately, it still works here.”

She opened her notes app, her fingers swiftly moving. However, Yan Yu, with a sharp eye, quickly noticed the names of a few documents that had just been swiped away at the top of her notes list: “To Ah Jiang”, “To Dad”, and “To Mom”.

Could those be Valkyrie’s own farewell letters? If she were to unexpectedly die in battle someday, and her phone was handed over to her family, would they see them?

Yan Yu felt a subtle pang of sympathy for her, and then, thinking about the absence of “”To Yan Yu””, he once again grew contemplative.

The journey is still long and arduous.
