Chapter 375: Shadow Spirit Beast

e pagoda.And above the seven-layered tower, the face of the Wind Clan ancestor, aged and withered, appeared. His eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Yun....However, within the eyes of the Feng Clan ancestor,...It didn't surprise Jiang Yun to see other people here, but their attire and appearance made it clear to him that they weren't the thousand cultivators from Shanhai Realm who had come with him.

As this middle-aged man drew closer, Ginger Cloud's brows furrowed even more subtly, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

Although this man was walking slowly and with a cautious expression on his face, it suggested he possessed intelligence.

But Ginger Cloud felt no trace of life force on him!

In short, he should have been dead, but he was acting like a living person!

Jiang Yun had seen many strange and unusual life states, such as medicine puppets and souls.

But at this very moment, this middle-aged man was unlike anyone he had ever seen before. He couldn't even tell if the other person was human or a corpse!

"He's a ghost!"

Just then, Bai Ze's voice echoed in Jiang Yun's mind.

What is a ghost

Bai Ze explained, "Similar to a human's life fire, but more advanced!"

"If a spirit fire does not dissipate, it will condense into a Spirit Stone. Yinling Realm Beasts possess the ability to regenerate Spirit Stones."

After birth, a life becomes a Yinling. Except for the lack of memories, it possesses everything from its previous life, including its cultivation level!

"Shadow Beast"

This was a word that Ginger had never heard before.

But instinctively, he remembered the two wails that sounded like a baby crying, which had caused him to fall into a zombie-like coma.

"Kill him first and then speak!" Bai Ze said coldly. "If you are killed by him, you will also become a ghost and be trapped here for eternity!"

After a moment of pause, Bai Ze added, "Don't worry, his life essence has long since dissipated. Only the Spirit Stone remains. Now that it can move, it's entirely being controlled by the Yinling Realm Beast. So you have nothing to feel sorry for!"

It's clear that Bai Ze knew Ginger Cloud wouldn't want to kill innocents, so he deliberately added this sentence.

Ginger Cloud naturally understood, and with a wry smile he got up and punched the middle-aged man directly.

"Bang!"

With one punch, the middle-aged man's body exploded.

There was no blood or flesh splattering, but instead it all turned into wisps of gray mist, and from within it fell a stone the size of a walnut.

Bai Ze opened his mouth and said, "This is the Spirit Stone. When it is crushed, it becomes the Life Fire."

"Let me express my admiration again, you're incredibly lucky. You already have the Flameless Lantern, and now you've encountered a Yin Spirit Beast. Here, I reckon all the Life Fire you've collected could fill the Flameless Lantern!"

Ginger Cloud picked up the Spirit Stone, gently crushing it.

As the stone exploded, a wisp of flame as thin as a hair emerged from within, flickering gently—it was indeed the life fire.

After a slight pause, Jiang Yun's palm materialized an unflamed puppet lamp and directly absorbed the wisp of life fire into it.

Although Jiang Yun now had a belly full of questions he wanted to ask Bai Ze, the cautious habit he had cultivated over the years still made him continue to scatter his divine sense and carefully inspect the current environment.

It's clear that this is no longer the black ocean, but rather like entering another world.

There are mountains, trees, rivers, and stones.

But everything here was shrouded in a faint gray mist, even the sky itself was overcast.

In the mist, there wasn't a trace of moisture. According to Ginger Cloud's deduction, it should be the fog formed by the condensation of the ghostly energy from the spirit she had just slain.

Now where Jiang Yun is, it's near a dense forest. At least within a thousand zhang radius, there are only dead things. There are no ghosts or cultivators.

After making sure their surroundings were safe, Jiang Yun finally asked Bai Ze, “What is a Yinling Realm Beast”

"The Yinling Beast is a kind of demonic beast. Because it emits cries like a baby, it is also called the Infant Spirit Beast. It is incredibly large."

Its existence is a threat to any life, because it loves to devour... the world!"

"What!"

Bai Ze's words couldn't help but make Jiang Yun let out an exclamation of surprise.

Love to devour world-eating monsters!

To this day, Jiang Yun still doesn't know the exact size of the Shan Hai Realm.

However, a monstrous beast that devours the world has now appeared. To what extent is this beast's body colossal!

Anyway, Ginger Cloud's meager imagination can no longer imagine it.

"Ignorant and uninformed, the world of Tao encompasses myriad paths, with countless races standing tall. There are all sorts of strange and wondrous life forms, far beyond what you, a tiny frog in a well, could possibly imagine."

Facing Jiang Yun's shock, Bai Ze habitually let out a mocking voice, and Jiang Yun naturally ignored it, then continued to ask, "Then this Yinling Realm Beast, isn't it an invincible existence"

"Where is there anything invincible!"

Bai Ze let out a cold snort. "Yinling realm beasts are just larger than normal, and they can give birth to Yin spirits. Their cries can also influence one's mind."

Besides, it is only the most lowly of demons, possessing only the simplest of divine intellects.

Therefore, it will also be killed. It's just too hard to kill...

No matter how you say it, its preference for the world as its food has indeed brought panic to many worlds.

"Because unless a powerful being holds the fort, no one knows when a Netherworld beast might appear from outside your world."

This led to many worlds being devoured by the Abyssal Beast, yet all life within them remained completely unaware.

"As time passes, and as the Yinling Beast's body digests, these lives will gradually die, then be forced into becoming Yinlings, trapped within the Yinling Beast's body forever, unable to leave!"

Just like the one you just killed.

"Wait!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun suddenly spoke up, interrupting Bai Ze's words: "What you mean is that I am now, inside the body of a Yinling Realm Beast"

"What do you think" Bai Ze chuckled, "Even that black ocean you were just in, it's actually inside its body, perhaps even its stomach!"

These words caused a jolt in Jiang Yun's heart!

Although he wanted to deny Bai Ze's words, when he thought of the boundless black ocean, the strange suction in the ocean, and the nine hundred beast bones...

Furthermore, one's willpower is absolutely extremely tenacious. However, the two infant cries heard before plunged oneself into a coma.

All these signs can be used as evidence to prove that what Bai Ze said is true.

But this should be the world within a mirage...

At this point, Ginger Cloud stopped herself from speaking further.

Because he remembered what his eldest brother had said, mirages were often like a bridge, one end connected to the world of mountains and seas, and the other end to an unknown world.

It's obvious that the world this mirage is connected to, is inside the Yinling Beast!

Perhaps not even all the cultivators in the myriad realms of mountains and seas had thought of this!

As Jiang Yun fell into shock, Bai Ze also remained silent.

He was considering something, whether or not to tell Jiangyun —

This phantom beast, in fact, very likely exists beyond the Shan Hai realm...

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network the end Jiang Yun still gave up on this idea.Injuring and disabling those eligible heirs of the sea clan, I believe they won't come looking for trouble with me. But if even the prospective emperor is...
