Leng Shiqi retracted his thoughts. He noticed that Li Jue Ning had the power of the Spirit Aperture Realm after being turned into a ghost slave. He was more powerful than Li Gui. Perhaps this was the benefit of the Underworld's upgrade.
Leng Shiqi thought about it. It wasn't appropriate to call this ghost slave Li Jue Ning anymore. "Since you were proficient in the Musical Assassination Technique, you shall be called the Sound Ghost."
"Thank you for the name, master," the Sound Ghost said. His intelligence was higher than Li Gui's when he was born.
Leng Shiqi sent Li Gui and the Sound Ghost away. He looked at the peak of the Underworld. There was a huge palace at the peak of the mountain called the Lost Soul Palace.
All the dead who came to the Underworld would be judged there. Based on the sins they had committed and the merits they had accumulated, they would be decided which of the six realms of reincarnation they would enter in their next life.
As Leng Shiqi thought about it, his figure instantly appeared in front of the Lost Soul Palace's entrance. This was a function of the Underworld's upgrade, teleportation!
As the master of the Underworld, he could move freely in the Underworld. No matter how far he was, he could arrive directly. This was his privilege as the master of the Underworld!
Leng Shiqi stood in front of the Lost Soul Palace. At this moment, there were already scattered souls that had arrived, but they all stopped at the entrance.
He estimated that he would have to wait for the next upgrade of the Underworld before he could open the Lost Soul Palace's entrance and let these souls in.
Leng Shiqi was very curious about what would happen to the souls after they went through the Lost Soul Palace. Since he thought about the Underworld's upgrade, he immediately went to the nearby Fengdu City.
The Fengdu City's entrance was still closed. Leng Shiqi walked forward and immediately saw the conditions for the Underworld's next upgrade.
"Underworld Territory's current level: Tier 3."
"Conditions for Underworld Territory's upgrade:
1. Recruit three members of the Underworld, 0/3.
2. Collect two high-level souls, 0/2.
3. 40000 System Coins. "
Seeing these three conditions, Leng Shiqi wasn't too surprised about the first and third conditions.
He needed to continue recruiting members, and Leng Shiqi already had a preliminary candidate in mind.
As for the System Coins, that was within his expectations. After all, he had a lot of resources now, so he could still afford it.
What surprised Leng Shiqi was the second condition!
In the past, he had only allowed him to absorb some souls, but this time, he was absorbing high-grade souls?
Then what was a high-grade soul?
In the past, Underworld's upgrade would require thousands or even thousands of souls. However, this time, there were only two. Just from this number alone, one could tell that high-level souls were not simple!
Leng Shiqi suddenly thought of Li Gui and Sound Ghost, "Could it be that only the soul of a Spirit Cultivator can be considered a high level soul?"
If that was really the case, then it would give him a headache. Up until now, even though he'd killed two great experts at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, it was extremely difficult every time, and he'd almost lost his life!
If he were to wait until he could kill a Unity of Heaven Realm expert head-on, he would still have a long way to go.
However, it wasn't completely impossible. After the battle with Li Jue Ning, Leng Shiqi's spiritual power cultivation had improved, and he could use all his spiritual techniques more smoothly.
In particular, the power and characteristics of the Heavenly Cycle Star God Shield made Leng Shiqi very satisfied. The self-proclaimed ability to isolate the spiritual power of heaven and earth could be said to be the nemesis of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm!
The most powerful aspect of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm was the ability to mobilize the spiritual power of heaven and earth. The Heavenly Cycle Star God Shield could directly isolate the spiritual power of heaven and earth from the outside world, so the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm could only have the advantage of having more profound spiritual power in front of him.
However, the problem was that the Heavenly Cycle Star God Shield was unique to the Star Race. If Leng Shiqi could kill his opponent, then it would be fine. However, if he used the Heavenly Cycle Star God Shield and failed to kill his opponent and was recognized, then he would be in trouble!
Therefore, not only did he need a trump card to save his life, but he also needed a trump card to kill his enemy!
When he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he had used a challenge card before. The mission was to kill a Spirit Cultivator at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm.
Killing Li Jue Ning should be considered as completing the mission of the challenge card. The reward for completing the mission was a chance to draw a top prize.
He opened the system's lottery interface, and there was a "Top Prize" option.
Leng Shiqi had also drawn top prizes in the infinite lottery in the past. For example, the Fate Skill was a top prize, and it was also a means for him to travel thousands of miles in a day.
Therefore, he was looking forward to this top prize.
Leng Shiqi pressed the lottery button. A light flashed, and a very strange sword appeared in front of him!
The reason why this sword was strange was because in front of Leng Shiqi, there was only a glaring sword shadow, and it did not have a physical body!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the top prize: Divine Sword Bright (Consumable)."
"Divine Sword Bright?" Leng Shiqi looked at the name of the sword and began to search his memory.
This sword seemed to come from a game world called "Ancient Sword" in his previous life. It was said that when this sword was forged, the three realms shook, and it was dazzling, hence the name.
Leng Shiqi recalled the information about the Divine Sword Bright, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink a few times. If he remembered correctly, the Divine Sword Bright's biggest characteristic was to cut off all spiritual power connections in the world!
One had to know that in this world, whether it was a spirit caster or a spirit cultivator, the spirit skills used were based on spiritual power.
If he mastered the Divine Sword Bright, then wouldn't everyone be the same as an ordinary person in front of him?!
There were also the top sects, the three great dynasties, and the hidden families, all of them had large and small formations protecting them.
As long as Leng Shiqi held this sword, he could easily break all the formations and barriers!
Regardless of whether it was a battle between Spirit Cultivator or an attack on a sect, this was a genuine divine artifact!
Perhaps this sword also contained some kind of powerful law of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, the Divine Sword Bright he drew was only a consumable item, which meant that it could only be used once.
However, Leng Shiqi was not greedy. According to the system's rating, the Divine Sword Bright would definitely be classified as a god-level prize.
And this time, his lottery draw was a top-notch one. Being able to draw a one-time use Divine Sword Bright was already a huge profit.
Leng Shiqi held the sword shadow, and the sword shadow immediately sank into his arm.
He lifted his sleeve and saw that there was an additional sword imprint on his wrist. As long as he activated it, he would be able to activate the Divine Sword Bright!
Leng Shiqi wore the mustard seed bracelet on his wrist to cover the imprint, and then continued to cultivate and recuperate. After all, his injuries could not be healed in a day or two.
As such, he stayed in the Underworld for more than ten days until he recovered eighty to ninety percent of his strength.
Leng Shiqi opened his eyes, and a few rays of cold light flashed in them. "It's time to find the person who leaked my whereabouts."
