Chapter 1060: The Ghost World

Huang Long emerged from the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. Naturally, Susan, Livya, Vitya, and the rest of the Huang family offered their congratulations, filled with laughter and joy.
Everyone naturally hoped that Huang Long’s strength would grow even greater. In the words of Pi Long, once he reached the Hunyuan Void Realm, he would kick the Heavenly Dao Sect to pieces and beat the Central Sacred Lord beyond recognition.
After some laughter and joy, Huang Long mentioned his plan to go to the Ghost World.
“Second brother, you’re going to the Ghost World?” Huang Yi’s face lit up with joy.
Seeing this, Huang Long understood what Huang Yi was thinking and smiled, “That’s right. This time, I’ll go to the Ghost World to gather all 999 materials, so that Li Yifeng can be revived!”
Huang Yi’s face burst into a smile. “Thank you, second brother!” Tears welled in her eyes—after thousands of years, Li Yifeng’s resurrection was finally possible!
Huang Long nodded.
Although those 999 materials were hard to find, he was determined to gather them all during this trip to the Ghost World.
“You stay on Erxian Mountain, focus on your cultivation, and gather the materials. I will return!” Huang Long said. Susan and the other women originally wanted to follow him, but seeing his firm decision, they could only nod in agreement.
Huang Long gave further instructions before vanishing from Erxian Mountain.
However, instead of leaving the Pangu World directly, he went to the Purple Sky Palace to speak with Hongjun.
When Hongjun heard that Huang Long was heading to the Ghost World, he pondered for a moment and said, “It’s good. Don’t worry. With me here, nothing will happen to the people on Erxian Mountain.”
Hearing this, Huang Long was completely reassured.
He had been worried that Yuan Shi might take advantage of his absence to encourage his disciples to cause trouble for the people on Erxian Mountain.
After bidding farewell to Hongjun, Huang Long broke through the world crystal barrier of the Pangu World and headed straight for the Ghost World.
“Is it related to the World Tree? But why do I feel such intense unease?!” Along the way, Huang Long’s eyes flickered.
This strong sense of unease felt as though he was about to lose something extremely important.
“Could it be the trunk of the World Tree?” Huang Long thought to himself. “The trunk of the World Tree is in the Ghost World, and someone has already found it!”
Back then, the World Tree stood at the center of the universe, its trunk stretching countless billions of miles high—its most vital part.
If Huang Long could find the trunk of the World Tree and merge it with himself, one could imagine how much the World Tree would change!

Moreover, the Yellow Dragon possessed a profound strength. If its World Tree could merge with the trunks of previous World Trees and undergo transformation, the power generated might even allow it to reach the Hunyuan He Dao realm! The Hunyuan He Dao realm was the same level as that of the Golden Dragon Saint Lord and Hongjun! As the Yellow Dragon neared the Ghost World more and more, this sense of unease grew stronger. After over an hour, the Yellow Dragon finally arrived at the Ghost World. Standing before this enormous, dark spherical Ghost World, the Yellow Dragon opened its third eye between its brows, and one after another, the low, medium, and high-level planes of the Ghost World, as well as the low, medium, and high-level spaces, appeared before it. In these divine planes and spaces lived ghosts with dark forms, resembling shadows. These ghosts were not spirits; they were different from spirits. Like humans, immortals, and gods, they were also forms of life in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. However, their forms were somewhat similar to those of spirits, but unlike spirits, they had hearts, blood, and other elements characteristic of living beings. “Hm?!” Just as the Yellow Dragon was about to explore the deepest plane of the Ghost World, it was suddenly blocked by a powerful force. “What is this?!” The Yellow Dragon frowned. This force was not that of the Ghost Saint King—so whose force was it? What kind of force? The Yellow Dragon flashed forward toward this divine plane. Shortly after, it arrived there. In this divine plane, there were only mountains, ancient forests, or vast swamps, with very little trace of ghostly energy. It seemed to be a divine plane uninhabited by ghosts. After arriving here, the World Tree within the Yellow Dragon’s Sea of Souls suddenly glowed intensely, as if something ahead was calling out to it. This was different from when the fragments of the World Tree called out to it on the Ruins Continent—it wasn’t a call, but rather a summons! The Yellow Dragon’s heart tightened, and it flew swiftly in the direction of the summons. As it did so, deep beneath tens of thousands of feet in the mountains of this divine plane, inside a huge cave, Qing Cang, the top disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, was wielding his Soul-Slaying Golden Halberd to attack a massive mountain range ahead! This mountain range stretched for countless miles in length and width! When Qing Cang attacked, barriers automatically appeared on its surface, blocking his attacks. Qing Cang had already achieved sainthood and reached the early peak of the Hunyuan Tai Shang realm—yet after prolonged attacks, he still couldn’t break through these barriers?!

“Hehe, Heart of the World, I think you’d better stop resisting—it’s pointless!” Qing Cang sneered. “If you still had your former strength, I certainly wouldn’t dare touch you. But now, it’s best for you to follow me obediently. Actually, what’s wrong with following my master? If my master can break through to the Hunyuan Void Realm, he might even help you regain your former strength!”
Hearing Qing Cang’s words, this mountain range, vast countless miles in length and width, turned out to be the Heart of the World—the World Tree!
“Dream on!” As soon as Qing Cang finished speaking, a deep voice rang out from within the mountain range, filled with immense authority and anger.
“A mere Hunyuan Supreme Realm being wants to take me away? If I still had my peak strength from back then, I would destroy you completely, sending you to eternal damnation in the Path of Heaven!” the voice roared.
Originally, those who achieved sainthood through the Path of Heaven became immortal. But from the words of the Heart of the World, it seemed that in his prime, he could even kill a Hunyuan Immortal Saint?!
Qing Cang watched as the glow of the restriction dimmed further and laughed. “Peak strength from back then? Back then, weren’t you and Pangu also outwitted by my master? Look at where you’re at now. I never expected you to have been hiding here all these eras. If it weren’t for my master’s Path of Heaven Wheel reaching perfection a while ago, he wouldn’t have figured out where you were!”
“But since my master has located you here, fate decrees that you must belong to him!”
With that, Qing Cang brought out his Path of Heaven Wheel.
By achieving sainthood, his technique with the Path of Heaven Wheel had improved significantly, reaching over 2,900 rotations, nearly perfect.
“Now, let me deliver the final blow and completely break your restriction!” Qing Cang said coldly.
