The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 2621: Chapter 2617: Ghost Core_1

They couldn’t be happier now.

What condition did Yang Chen propose? That’s not a condition at all!

Joking aside, this transcendent existence wants to join their team, and they’d do whatever it took to help, not to mention answering his questions.

How dangerous is the Extremely Yin Land? The situation just now had already explained everything. Without the help of a strong team member, a team could vanish in an instant, which is quite normal.

The cruelty of the battlefield meant that even if a team was wiped out, no one would avenge them.

However, having such a transcendent strong one join them would be like guaranteeing their lives.

In an instant, these team members all chuckled and said, “Brother Yang Chen, you’re too polite. If you have any questions, just feel free to ask, we’ll tell you everything we know.”

“Yes, we’re all in this together, and we should help each other.”

Yang Chen nodded when he heard this.

His main purpose now was the Three Flowers Sect. He was initially going to ask about it, but after thinking about it, he decided to put it aside for now.

After all, he couldn’t be too hasty about this. He had to settle down in the southern region of the Extremely Yin Land first and then cross it to reach the Three Flowers Sect.

“Everyone, where are we going back to?” Yang Chen asked as he followed the team.

“We are on patrol outside. After some turmoil, let’s return to the Unparalleled Camp first!” Murong Hongye spoke softly and looked at Yang Chen admiringly.

Yang Chen asked in surprise, “What is the Unparalleled Camp?”

“Actually, the nearby area is occupied by various major forces like the Haoran Gate. These major forces form camps. The Unparalleled Camp is one of them. We are a patrol team from the Unparalleled Camp. When we return, we need to quickly report the information about the attack by the Cloud-penetrating Ghost General. After all, it is a very important matter.” Murong Hongye sighed.

At first, Yang Chen didn’t think much about it, but he realized something later.

Walking forward from just now, it was the human territory. Only after passing through the human territory would one enter the Extremely Yin Land.

So, how did the ghost creatures pass through the human territory and attack Murong Hongye?

This made Yang Chen ask in surprise, “How did the Cloud-penetrating Ghost General manage to attack you?”

Murong Hongye smiled bitterly, “That’s a point we’ve been puzzled about too. Recently, there have been rumors that ghost creatures have crossed the human territory and wreaked havoc in the rear. That’s why our patrol team started patrolling the rear. We thought it was a false alarm, but it turned out to be true. Our team was attacked by the famous Cloud-penetrating Ghost General, and five team members died. The fact that these ghost generals could infiltrate our rear is just too strange.”

“Is the Cloud-penetrating Ghost General famous?” Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

“There are quite a few powerful ghost generals in the Extremely Yin Land, which we have records of on our side. As a high-level ghost general, the Cloud-penetrating Ghost General is one of the more powerful ones who has been elusive for a long time. It has been targeted by many vanguard teams, and it is said that elite Nirvana Stage practitioners with over ten thousand Dao Intent have been helpless against it. It’s incredible that you, Brother Yang Chen, have such great divine powers!” Murong Hongye exclaimed in admiration.

Yang Chen, however, remained calm and indifferent.

This Cloud-penetrating Ghost General was merely a part of his mission, and he couldn’t be too proud about it.

After all, his goal was higher: the King-Rank Ghost Beings.

“By the way, Brother Yang Chen, do you want to exchange this Cloud-penetrating Ghost General for Merit Points?” Murong Hongye asked warmly.

“Merit Points?” Yang Chen seemed puzzled.

“Ah, I forgot that Brother Yang Chen is here for the first time. Merit Points are the achievements earned by hunting ghost creatures and accumulating accomplishments in battles. These achievements can be exchanged for many things. It’s said that many sects’ top Daoist techniques and elixirs are being shared and can be exchanged for Merit Points. Moreover, the higher the Merit Points, the more high-ranking positions you can exchange for!” Murong Hongye smiled.

Yang Chen recalled his Merit Points in the Spirit Realm.

His Merit Points in the Spirit Realm were quite high, but before he could use them, he arrived in the Southern Realm.

However, these Merit Points did give the Xuandao Sect a deep reputation, so it didn’t matter whether he used them or not.

The Southern Realm also had this system of Merit Points due to attacks from the Netherworld, which was similar to the Spirit Realm. After a slight understanding, he knew about it.

However, the rewards offered in the Southern Realm aroused Yang Chen’s interest.

The first one was the shared Dao Techniques and elixirs!

Under normal circumstances, Yang Chen wouldn’t be interested in these at all. However, he thought about the Life and Death Dao Technique of the Three Flowers Sect.

If that technique could be exchanged for Merit Points, or if there were any suitable techniques in the shared Dao Techniques for cultivation, then these Merit Points would be quite useful.

“If Brother Yang Chen wants to exchange Merit Points, there’s no need to deliberately carry the corpse of the Cloud-penetrating Ghost General. Just take its Ghost Core!” Murong Hongye said with a smile.

“Ghost Core?” Yang Chen looked puzzled.

Murong Hongye explained, “Brother Yang Chen, you can take out the corpse of the ghost general.”

Without any hesitation, Yang Chen took out the corpse of the Cloud-penetrating Ghost General and handed it to Murong Hongye.

Murong Hongye took the corpse of the ghost general and pressed her palm to its head. Even at this point, she looked at the corpse with a bit of trepidation and fear.

The others felt the same.

Yang Chen, on the other hand, stared intently at Murong Hongye. Murong Hongye pressed her hand on the ghost general’s corpse, and it disappeared instantly, leaving behind something that looked like a black walnut, which appeared in front of Yang Chen.

“What’s going on?” Yang Chen took a deep breath.

“This is the Ghost Core, also known as the Corpse Core. There is a core in the head of a ghost creature, which is the key to their cultivation of Ghost Qi. This Ghost Core is very tough, so there is no need to worry about its destruction after killing these ghost creatures.” Murong Hongye explained with a smile.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but be amazed. He’d never encountered such a thing as a Ghost Core in the ghost creatures of the Spirit Realm.

“Do all ghost creatures have this?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

“Of course not, only high-level ghost generals have it. Low-level and mid-level ghost generals don’t. But the danger level of these other two types of ghost generals is not as high as the high-level ghosts. They want to accumulate achievements while not killing the ghost generals, which is difficult. But because of this Ghost Core, it avoids such situations.” Murong Hongye said.

Yang Chen nodded when he heard this.

That was a very convenient thing.

However, his doubts still remained, “This Ghost Core is quite convenient, but how does one identify who the ghost general being hunted is by using it?”

“This is not difficult, as the memory of the ghost general is sealed within the Ghost Core and won’t disappear with the death of the ghost general. When it is submitted, those people only need to probe the memory of the Ghost Core to find out who the owner is. It will also represent your identity as a hunter of ghost generals.” Murong Hongye said.
