The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2225 - 2214: The Way to Leave

Prior to the arrival of the Sect's other ancestors, Luo Qianjiang and his companions refrained from venturing into the small secret realm.

At that moment, Ye Chenfeng remained within Death's Darkness.

A vexed look crossed his face as he stood upon the Ghost Ship; the cave had nearly caved in entirely, even its deepest chamber. All of a sudden, a profound blue radiance flickered from the most distant spot on the floor.

Curiosity propelled Ye Chenfeng to leap from the Ghost Ship, dodging the crumbling sections with caution, and hasten toward the innermost area.

Arriving at the deepest zone, he realized the pulsing deep blue light emanated directly from under the Ghost Ship!

By now, fallen debris had almost buried the ground, with the blue glow seeping through the cracks in the rocks.

Sensing it closely, Ye Chenfeng detected a vast surge of energy below, linked to the origin of the earlier Blue Crystal Stone, igniting his excitement. After beholding the Ghost Ship's terrifying power, he knew that with ample energy, those Divine King Realm powerhouses in Central Continent would pose no threat! The Ghost Ship alone could dominate all of Central Continent.

With that in mind,

Ye Chenfeng swiftly shoved aside the overlying stones. Employing his full might, he removed them rapidly. Once cleared, a massive cubic deep blue Energy Crystal Stone revealed itself before him.

A quick assessment revealed to Ye Chenfeng that this deep blue Energy Crystal Stone fit the cubic energy slot on the Ghost Ship flawlessly, suggesting this enormous blue crystal might enable the Ghost Ship to unleash its maximum might?

While Ye Chenfeng lost himself in boundless fantasies, Old Hei Jiang Yuntian remarked, "Kid, are you celebrating too early? This Energy Crystal Stone contains numerous impurities. The prior one was pure; this seems like raw energy ore. Inserting this unrefined source straight into the slot might prevent the Ghost Ship from activating."

"You need to purge every impurity from this colossal energy source. Such energy crystals are unique, and standard purification could prove challenging. Even the proper technique might demand considerable time."

"Above all, my perception tells me this source must stay intact. It's a unified entity, and breaking it would cause its immense energy to scatter and dissipate instantly."

"Thus, kid, hold off on refining the impurities; it won't happen overnight."

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian's advice sobered Ye Chenfeng somewhat. He too perceived the impurities within the massive energy source and meticulously extracted it without causing harm.

Moments later, Ye Chenfeng extracted the energy source intact. He slung it over his shoulder and made his way back to the Ghost Ship steadily.

Aboard the Ghost Ship once more, Ye Chenfeng attempted to slot the impure energy source into the pool, yet it elicited no response, confirming Old Hei's assessment. Only purified energy could properly power the Ghost Ship.

After testing, Ye Chenfeng ceased tampering and conferred with Old Bai and Old Hei. This time, Death's Darkness master Old Ghost needed to depart alongside them. Typically, ghosts would crumble to dust outside Death's Darkness unless they located a comparable domain.

As time elapsed, dusk gradually enveloped them, leaving Ye Chenfeng and the others without a viable plan. Old Bai and Old Hei's suggestions carried a strong risk of Old Ghost dissolving into nothingness.

Night had fully cloaked the area when Old Ghost materialized before Ye Chenfeng. Beholding the Ghost Ship, awe filled his spectral form.

The apparitions of Old Bai Wu Fengxian and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian emerged anew from Ye Chenfeng’s body, prompting Old Ghost to declare, "Master Wu, Master Jiang, you know that while Death's Darkness brims with chances, its peculiar essence infuses many with deathly energy and assorted resentful auras. These detrimental elements infiltrate the beneficiary's body alongside the boons."

"Though they may elevate strength briefly, during further progress, these negatives spawn Heart Demons, rendering them suboptimal for cultivators—ultimately causing more detriment than benefit."

Old Bai and Old Hei concurred with Old Ghost's insight. They had hoped for harmless opportunities from him, but now recognized securing the Ghost Ship as fortune enough.

Suddenly.

Old Bai Wu Fengxian proposed, "I have a plan. Should it succeed, Old Ghost, you'll exit Death's Darkness unscathed."

"Space Law binds this place tightly; first, help my disciple shift the Ghost Ship nearer the exit—it's arduous for him solo with such a behemoth."

Old Ghost gestured, summoning ghost entities of Divine King Realm and Heavenly God Realm nearby.

Guided by Old Ghost, these specters propelled the Ghost Ship forward, as he inquired eagerly, "Master Wu, what's your proposed method?"

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian also turned toward Wu Fengxian.

Old Bai grinned and explained, "Doesn't this youth possess the Coffin of Death, a shadowy Immortal Artifact, inside his Chaos Ring? He's refined and sealed this Coffin of Death."

"Within this shadowy Immortal Artifact, the Coffin of Death overflows with deathly energy, yin energy, and resentful energy—mirroring Death's Darkness traits. If Old Ghost consents to dwell inside the Coffin of Death, we can escort you out and gradually devise freedom for you among us. This stands as the securest, most fitting approach now."

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian nodded vigorously, "Why didn't I consider that? The Coffin of Death suits Old Ghost ideally; its deathly energy surpasses even Death's Darkness in density and potency. Your strength might grow swifter inside! Moreover, with the lid sealed, it's akin to remaining in Death's Darkness—a solid fix."

Old Bai Wu Fengxian added, "Yet Old Ghost, should you accept, brace for extended confinement in the Coffin of Death beyond your time in Death's Darkness, curtailing your liberty. Ponder it well, for Death's Darkness may feel like home."

Old Ghost responded without pause, "Master Wu, Master Jiang, regardless, I yearn to escape Death's Darkness. Long ago, I aspired to trail you both—that dream lingers in my soul. Capped at Divine Venerable Realm in this lifetime, fulfilling it matters deeply."

"Without Master Wu and Master Jiang then, I wouldn't exist now. Fate reunites us, so I must serve you. I desire to contribute to you both."

Witnessing Old Ghost's earnest plea, Old Bai and Old Hei ceased urging otherwise. Granting Old Ghost worldly mobility would make him a formidable asset to Ye Chenfeng.

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian assured, "Old Ghost, we won't keep you trapped in the Coffin of Death overly long. We'll soon devise a way for fresh air and a glimpse of the current world."

Old Bai Wu Fengxian instructed, "Lad, exit Death's Darkness briefly! Retrieve the Coffin of Death, then return, given the Space Law constraints here."

Hearing this, Old Ghost hastened Ye Chenfeng toward Death's Darkness entrance, as Old Bai and Old Hei withdrew into Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian.
