The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2221 - 2210: Powerful Spirit Boat
Ye Chenfeng never expected that Old White and Old Black were actually acquaintances with this Divinity Venerate Realm ghost here? Furthermore, this Divinity Venerate Realm ghost held a deep respect for Old White and Old Black, indicating that they were indeed influential figures in their era.
Ye Chenfeng simply stood by quietly watching, without interrupting the reunion of old acquaintances.
The old ghost rambled on about his experiences over the years, after Death’s Darkness mysteriously disappeared back then.
In fact, Death’s Darkness had sunk, and a massive upheaval occurred within it. Many originally powerful ghosts could not escape the incident. As the only conscious ghost, the old ghost hid and dodged in Death’s Darkness and eventually survived.
After the turmoil within Death’s Darkness passed, its entrance was sealed. Since many powerful ghosts had perished during the incident, the old ghost wandering in the darkness discovered the core of Death’s Darkness and refined it.
Consequently, he took control of all of Death’s Darkness. With many highly concentrated areas of Yin energy and resentment, the old ghost continually improved his strength over the years by mastering Death’s Darkness.
No wonder Ye Chenfeng’s movements couldn’t escape the old ghost’s perception! No wonder those unconscious ghosts feared the old ghost so much! It turns out he is now the ruler of Death’s Darkness.
After hearing the old ghost’s story, Old White Wu Fengxian sighed, "Old Ghost, you indeed found fortune in misfortune. If Death’s Darkness hadn’t undergone that upheaval, it would have been incredibly difficult for you to reach the Divinity Venerate Realm in this lifetime."
The old ghost laughed and said, "Young Master Wu, I was just a bit lucky. If it weren’t for your help back then, I would have long disappeared from this world. In my heart, you two have always been my masters."
"I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime, but heaven has truly been kind to me! Yet, how did Young Master Wu and Young Master Jiang become like this? Can I offer you my assistance? I’m tired of staying in Death’s Darkness."
Old Black Jiang Yuntian said, "Old Ghost, you know the limitations of being a ghost are numerous. If we could have taken you out back then, we would have. Besides, now that you’re the ruler of Death’s Darkness, you’re like a sovereign here; are you really willing to leave your stronghold?"
The old ghost earnestly said, "Young Master Jiang, I wanted to leave with you back then. This place holds no attachment for me. The gratitude I owe you always stays in my heart! I may not have much else, but I at least know how to return a favor."
"Can I truly never leave Death’s Darkness?"
Old White Wu Fengxian, observing the old ghost’s troubled expression, thought for a while, then said, "Old Ghost, speaking of methods, there indeed is a way, but it’s extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could obliterate you."
The old ghost replied without hesitation, "You had me stay in Death’s Darkness back then, and I agreed because I knew even if I left, I couldn’t help you much."
"But now, at least I am an Early Divine Venerate Realm expert. I should be able to offer some help to you and your disciple."
"Even if there’s only a one percent chance, I still want to leave. Following you two has always been my heart’s desire, and if this wish remains unfulfilled, I won’t be content even if I am obliterated in the future."
Seeing the old ghost speak to this extent, Old White Wu Fengxian said, "Old Ghost, we understand your intentions, but shouldn’t you reconsider? With your Early Divine Venerate Realm strength, you could live many more years in Death’s Darkness."
The old ghost firmly shook his head and said, "Young Master Wu, Young Master Jiang, as long as there’s even a slight hope, I wish to leave here and follow you. Please let me fulfill this one dream!"
Old Black Jiang Yuntian said, "Old Ghost, the method Old White mentioned is indeed highly perilous. Here’s the plan: we’ll be staying here for another one or two days. Let us think carefully if we can devise a safer method."
"But since you are the ruler here, you probably know where the opportunities are, right? You should really present our disciple with a meeting gift, or you’d feel embarrassed as an elder, wouldn’t you?"
After thinking for a moment, the old ghost said, "This is your disciple, Young Master Wu and Young Master Jiang. I fear the small opportunities here might not be significant in your eyes. Although I control Death’s Darkness, there’s a specific area beyond my control."
"It’s an entrance to an unfathomable cave, where even my consciousness cannot penetrate, and there’s a restriction that only those below the Divine King Realm can enter."
"It’s the deepest part of Death’s Darkness, and even before its disappearance, few cultivators ventured there. I’m not sure if there’s a great opportunity inside."
Ye Chenfeng, currently below the Divine King Realm, was noticed by Old White and Old Black.
Many times, danger and opportunity coexist. How can one know what’s within without exploring?
After a moment, Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, "Old White, Old Black, why don’t we enter and take a look? We can retreat immediately if there’s any change."
Seeing Ye Chenfeng agree, Old White and Old Black nodded to the old ghost, then returned to Ye Chenfeng’s dantian. The old ghost waved his hand, creating a swirl of black wind, quickly carrying Ye Chenfeng deeper in.
Ye Chenfeng only felt the whistling wind by his ears, causing his eardrums some discomfort.
After a while, Ye Chenfeng felt himself land again. He saw the old ghost standing beside him, facing an enormous cave, with an even denser, eerie atmosphere—most likely due to being deep within Death’s Darkness.
The gigantic, pitch-black cave entrance resembled a monstrous mouth, poised to swallow everything.
At the cave entrance, Ye Chenfeng saw a Blue Crystal Stone as tall as a person. Old White Wu Fengxian said, "This should be a form of energy crystal; it cannot be absorbed by cultivators, but it contains immense energy, likely used to activate something."
With the Space Law restricted, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t store the Blue Crystal Stone inside the Chaos Ring. He planned to take the large Blue Crystal Stone with him upon leaving.
The old ghost told Ye Chenfeng, "I’ll guard the entrance. However, if you don’t come out by dawn, I must leave, as I cannot be exposed to sunlight."
"I feel there shouldn’t be too much danger inside. That’s my intuition as the ruler of Death’s Darkness."
After nodding to the old ghost, Ye Chenfeng proceeded into the cave. Inside, apart from extreme darkness and cold, he felt nothing else.
The tunnel inside the cave continually extended forward, with no end in sight.
Ye Chenfeng walked for an hour.
Two hours.
After three hours.
He finally reached the deepest part of the cave. In the center lay a colossal black Spirit Boat, exuding oppressiveness difficult to bear. As Ye Chenfeng approached, Old Black Jiang Yuntian immediately said, "What a treasure! This Spirit Boat is truly a treasure! It doesn’t belong to the class of Immortal Artifacts or Spiritual Artifacts; it’s of no particular grade, yet its power might surpass many Immortal Artifacts."
"Based on my feeling, this Spirit Boat doesn’t need to be powered by a cultivator. As long as there’s enough energy to activate it, even someone at the Divinity Transformation Realm could control it. To put it more simply, as long as there’s energy to activate this Spirit Boat, it can directly ram and kill any expert below the late Divine King Realm."
