My status is determined by the strength of my natal Heavenly Ghost?
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he wasn't too surprised. This was caused by the environment. After all, one's cultivation would rot in the Blood Void no matter how high one's cultivation was.
Qin Yu began to ponder. Once he reached Heavenly Spirit City, what would he rely on to establish himself?
Qin Yu couldn't help but want to capture a Heavenly Ghost in the Primordial Battlefield …
"Although my status in Heavenly Spirit City is low, it's not at the bottom. No matter what, I'm still a centurion with a hundred Heavenly Ghosts under my command!" Li Wufeng said with a hint of pride.
"Centurion?
Brother Li, with my strength, it shouldn't be a problem for me to become a chiliarch, right? "Qin Yu's eyes flashed as he said indifferently.
Chiliarch?
Even becoming a centurion is a problem, Li Wufeng thought to himself. Glancing at Qin Yu, Li Wufeng pondered for a moment and said, "This is hard to say. After all, to become a chiliarch, one has to squeeze into the top thousand of the Heavenly Soul Ranking and maintain their ranking for ten years without dropping. Furthermore, one can't use weapons to compete for the Heavenly Soul Ranking. At most, one can only rely on the strength of the Heavenly Ghosts. Therefore, the strength of the Heavenly Ghosts largely determines one's ranking."
"Then what about the top hundred and top ten of the Heavenly Soul Ranking?" Qin Yu asked in astonishment.
"If you squeeze into the top hundred and hold on for ten years, you'll become a general who commands ten thousand Heavenly Ghosts. If you obtain the top rank of the Heavenly Soul Ranking and hold on for ten years, you'll reach the heavens in one step and become a general who commands a hundred thousand Heavenly Ghosts. Furthermore, Heavenly Spirit City will reward you with a quasi-Ghost King Rank Heavenly Ghost!" Li Wufeng's eyes flashed with anticipation and passion.
"I don't have any extravagant hopes for becoming a general. I'll be satisfied if I can become a general in this lifetime. Becoming a general means that I'll have a salary from Heavenly Spirit City and won't have to worry about Soul Stone Fragments. I won't be cannon fodder in the war either." Li Wufeng sighed.
"Then what about commanders?
What are the requirements to become a commander? "Qin Yu's eyes lit up as he asked.
Li Wufeng looked at Qin Yu as if he was looking at an idiot, but under the pressure of Qin Yu's saber, he could only say, "There are tens of thousands of Great Generals in Heavenly Spirit City, but those who want to become Commanders are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Being promoted from Great General to Commander is not something that can be done in Heavenly Spirit City. Only during the great war that occurs once every ten thousand years, hunting or subduing a Ghost Monarch will one be qualified to become a Commander!
However, it was almost impossible to subdue or kill a Ghost Lord in the Void Blood Sea. After so many years, Heavenly Spirit City only had eighty-one commanders!
As for the Grand Commanders, there are even fewer. There are only three of them! "
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. It seemed like he would have to rely on the Heavenly Ghost to survive in Heavenly Spirit City … and to obtain a powerful Heavenly Ghost in Heavenly Spirit City would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. It would be better … to obtain a powerful Heavenly Ghost in the Grandmist Battlefield!
"Old Brother Li, I have already decided to subdue a powerful Heavenly Ghost here. With my saber, subduing a Quasi Heavenly Ghost King shouldn't be difficult." Qin Yu pondered for a moment before slowly saying.
Li Wufeng jumped in fright. If he hadn't guessed that Qin Yu was a hedonistic son of a great power in Heavenly Spirit City, he would have cursed out loud. Even if you want to die, don't drag me down with you.
His chest rose and fell violently. It was obvious that he was suppressing the anger in his heart. He lowered his voice and said, "Subduing a Heavenly Ghost in the Grandmist Battlefield … and at this time, you … you … you …" Li Wufeng forcefully suppressed the words "seeking death" back into his stomach.
"How would I know if I don't try?
That's right, Old Brother Li, teach me the Forbidden Ghost Technique and the Natal Contract.
I want to give it a try. Even if I can't subdue a Quasi Heavenly Ghost King, it's not bad if I can subdue a few Spirit Ghosts. "Qin Yu said.
Li Wufeng expressionlessly shook his head and said, "Old Brother Li, it's not that Old Brother Li doesn't support you. It's just that with our cultivation, we can barely protect ourselves in the Grandmist Battlefield. Furthermore, the Heavenly Ghosts are all looking for young Heavenly Ghost Kings. There are Heavenly Ghost powerhouses everywhere. Once a Ghost King is attracted …"
"I said that I'm just giving it a try. Don't you have a Natal Heavenly Ghost?
Even if it's attracted, we can just run … Furthermore, Old Brother Li, this is an opportunity. Think about it. If we can subdue a thousand Heavenly Ghosts, won't our strength increase even further?
At that time, even if we return to Heavenly Soul City, we should be able to squeeze into the top thousand of the Heavenly Soul Battle Ranking and become a chiliarch, right? "Qin Yu urged.
Li Wufeng's expression froze. It had to be said that he was really tempted. It was practically a pipe dream for him to become a chiliarch with his Heavenly Ghosts … If he could really subdue many Heavenly Ghosts here … perhaps his strength would really increase greatly … But when he thought of the possibility of dying here, Li Wufeng shook his head like a drum and said, "No, no, I really can't. I'll die."
"Although I've been cultivating at home every day, my father told me that if a person wants to stand at a higher place, he needs a heart that dares to fight. There's a saying that wealth comes from danger. Could it be that Old Brother Li really thinks that a meat pie will fall from the sky?" Qin Yu said with a face full of reverence.
Seeing that Li Wufeng's face was even more hesitant, Qin Yu said again, "You said before that you would be satisfied if you could become a general in this life, but in my opinion, not to mention a general, even a chiliarch is an extravagant hope for you. There are so many people like you in Heavenly Soul City, what right do you have to squeeze into the top thousand?"
"Besides, there are very few opportunities to go to the Hong Meng Battlefield in this life. If you miss this chance, then don't think of a second chance in this life. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if a Ghost King comes, we can just go directly to the rendezvous point. Don't tell me that a Ghost King dares to go to the rendezvous point?
He doesn't even dare to fight … to think that I still recognize you as my old brother … "
Li Wufeng's face turned red from Qin Yu's words, and the ferocious look on his face became even more intense. In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind and spat out, "I … I'll fight once … why not … Old Brother Li, let's go to the rendezvous point first and try again?"
Qin Yu's face twitched, "Do you think there will be Heavenly Ghosts at the rendezvous point?"
Li Wufeng's expression stiffened.
"Forget it, Old Brother Li. If you're really worried, just tell me the Ghost Sealing Technique and the Life Contract. Then, give me the location of the rendezvous point. I'll collect the Heavenly Ghosts here alone."
Li Wufeng's struggle became even more intense. After a long time, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said, "I'll fight. I'll take this gamble." After saying that, Li Wufeng told Qin Yu the incantation for the Ghost Sealing Technique and the Life Contract.
What surprised Qin Yu was that the Ghost Sealing Technique was actually a set of hand seals. When the hand seals struck out, they contained some kind of restrictive power.
Half a month later.
Qin Yu arranged a sky full of arrays on a mountain piled up with bones, then secretly hid behind the pile of bones with Li Wufeng. His spirit sense silently shrouded a thumb-sized Soul Blood Essence Stone on the mountain top.
"Old Brother Li, can such a small Soul Blood Essence Stone attract Heavenly Ghosts?"
Qin Yu asked through voice transmission. He originally wanted to take out a fist-sized Soul Blood Essence Stone, but Li Wufeng said such a small one was enough.
Li Wufeng rolled his eyes at Qin Yu and said, "If you really take out one, I'm afraid all the Heavenly Ghosts within a radius of ten thousand miles will rush over … Don't you know how tempting this Soul Blood Essence Stone is to Heavenly Ghosts …"
Before Li Wufeng could finish his words, he suddenly saw Qin Yu raise his hand. He hurriedly stopped his voice transmission and spread his spirit sense silently.
Before he could see clearly what Heavenly Ghost appeared next to the Soul Blood Essence Stone, he only saw a faint holy light flickering, and a series of hand seals suddenly pressed on the Heavenly Ghost.
"Aooo …" The Heavenly Ghost let out a howl before it was swallowed by the white light and turned into a bead emitting holy light that fell to the ground.
Then, a black shadow appeared and caught the falling bead. Who else could it be but Qin Yu?
