Qin Yu had returned to Rakshasa City alone from the desolate village. Li Ruyan's rejection had surprised and puzzled him.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Qin Yu realized that Li Ruyan probably had her own secret, and … it wasn't a small secret.
To be honest, Qin Yu wasn't sure if Li Ruyan and the others were in the desolate village when he went there.
After all, it was unknown whether Li Ruyan and the others had survived the battle. Qin Yu had gone there mainly to repay their kindness. If he hadn't sensed the formation when he entered the village, Qin Yu wouldn't have gone directly to Li Ruyan's house.
Recalling the situation at the beginning of the hundred-odd year battle and the fact that the hundred or so people in the village were all safe and sound … Qin Yu vaguely felt that it might be Li Ruyan's credit. To be able to kill her way out of hundreds of thousands of heavenly ghosts … this Li Ruyan was extraordinary.
Although he had come to this conclusion, Qin Yu didn't point it out, nor would he rashly disturb her. Everyone had their own secrets. He had his, and so did Li Ruyan.
If Li Ruyan came to her senses and left Rakshasa Purgatory one day, Qin Yu would naturally treat her well. If she didn't, even if Qin Yu took control of Rakshasa Purgatory one day, he wouldn't bail her out.
A few days after returning to Rakshasa City, the hundred-odd year battle ended. When all the heavenly ghosts returned to Rakshasa City, they found the entire city empty. It was so empty that it made them tremble in fear.
In the end, when they handed in their seals, the fifty thousand heavenly ghosts were all dumbfounded. Among them, the most had less than a thousand seals, and the least had only a few hundred … but they had inexplicably obtained the qualifications to participate in the first test of Rakshasa City …
While the fifty thousand people were frantically competing for the qualifications to climb the stone steps, Qin Yu and Liu Yongzheng went to climb them directly.
Qin Yu was no stranger to the stone steps. In fact … he had climbed many of them before and concluded that no matter what kind of stone step it was, there was a certain purpose behind its establishment. Most of them tested one's state of mind.
It was just like the first natural chasm between the Eternity Peak and the Primordial Desolation Forbidden Land.
The Russian test's stone steps were no exception!
However, after fusing with Ancient Saint Primordius' remnant soul and perceiving the supernatural art 'I am the heavens', his frame of mind had reached a bottleneck. It was not something that an ordinary person could compare with.
Therefore, after ascending the stone steps, Qin Yu walked forward slowly as if he was taking a stroll. Liu Yongzheng's origin was also mysterious as he walked side by side with Qin Yu.
Just like that, the stone steps that had obstructed countless akasha ghosts were nothing out of the ordinary for the two of them.
It was unknown how many steps there were, but they extended all the way to the vortex above Rakshasa City.
When the two of them entered the vortex, they felt a strong pressure. However, this only slowed down their pace a little.
"Fellow Daoist Xing, I wonder what plans do you have after returning to the Ghost Domain?" Liu Yongzheng asked as he walked.
Qin Yu didn't answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he said, "I don't have any plans for now. However, if possible, I would like to go to the Saint Realm Training Hall to see if I can get some good fortune. What about you, Brother Liu?"
"If I'm not wrong, after we leave here, there should be a big force coming to rope us in … At that time, we'll choose a force and first establish ourselves in the Ghost Domain." Liu Yongzheng pondered for a long time and said.
"Is there no sect in the Ghost Domain that Brother Liu used to belong to?"
Qin Yu asked in surprise. According to Li Ruyan, the Azure Heaven Lineage had a sect in the Ghost Domain. Liu Yongzheng's attainments in formations were extremely high, so he should be from a big sect.
A complicated expression flashed across Liu Yongzheng's face and he didn't answer.
When Qin Yu saw this, he didn't ask further. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Brother Liu, how much do you know about the various forces in the Ghost Domain? Can you introduce them to me in detail?"
Liu Yongzheng glanced at Qin Yu with a surprised expression. However, he didn't say anything and said, "The Ghost Domain is divided into two major forces, the Heavenly Ghosts and the Spiritual Warriors. For short, they are the Heavenly Ghost Tribe and the Spiritual Warriors Tribe. The Heavenly Ghost Tribe is formed by people from the Nine Great Celestial Realms. The Spiritual Warriors Tribe was born in the Primordial Battlefield.
"Because the Spiritual Warriors were born in the Primordial Battlefield, their strength is extremely fierce. Therefore, they have been suppressing the Heavenly Ghosts all these years and occupy the inner city of Eternal Life City.
"However, although the Spiritual Warriors are strong, due to the harsh conditions for their birth, it is difficult for new Spiritual Warriors to be born. However, the Heavenly Ghosts are different. Countless Heavenly Ghosts are born almost every day. In order to rule the Ghost Domain one day, the Heavenly Ghosts set up many tests and purgatories in order to select the most talented people. Over the years, many experts have been created. Although their overall strength isn't as strong as the Spiritual Warriors, it isn't far off.
"Over the years, the Spiritual Warriors Tribe has been living in seclusion and has been entrenched in the inner city of Eternal Life City. Therefore, the division of forces in the Spiritual Warriors Tribe isn't clear. However, there are four Ghost Emperors in the Heavenly Ghost Tribe who dominate the outer city of Eternal Life City!" Liu Yongzheng said slowly.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and looked a little frightened. He didn't expect the Heavenly Ghost Alliance to be divided into Heavenly Ghosts and Spiritual Warriors. From Li Wufeng's tone, Heavenly Spirit City only knew about the Heavenly Ghost Tribe and didn't seem to know about the Spiritual Warriors Tribe …
"Under the four Ghost Emperors, there are 29 Ghost Kings and 95 Ghost Kings. Of course, there are also the major sects from the Nine Great Immortal Domains, including the Saint Dynasty of the First Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Sword Saint Sect, the Azure Heaven Lineage of the Second Immortal Domain, etc. Almost all the major sects from the Nine Great Immortal Domains have forces in the Ghost Domain," Liu Yongzheng said.
Liu Yongzheng didn't see the shock and disbelief in Qin Yu's eyes.
Saint Dynasty??
Heavenly Sword Saint Sect???
Qin Yu didn't expect to hear these familiar sects in the Ghost Domain … Back then, when he was in the Yin Yang Death Sect, Prince Hao Shengtian, Hao Qingxuan, and the Heavenly Sword Saint Sect's Sixth Young Master Ye Kong …
Could it be the same name??
No!
Could it be that it had been passed down until now?
But why did the former number one force in the Primordial Antiquity Era become the number one Immortal Domain?
Wait!
The Nine Great Immortal Domains …
The Primordial Nine Heavens …
Could it be that the current Nine Great Immortal Domains were the former Primordial Nine Heavens??
Qin Yu's body trembled slightly. If that was the case … then what happened in the Primordial Sacred Heavens?
Could it be that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was really buried in the Primordial Forbidden Land?
If the Nine Great Immortal Domains were really the Primordial Nine Heavens, then what about the Three Thousand Heavens?
Where was it?
Qin Yu's thoughts were in a mess and he didn't hear what Liu Yongzheng said later.
