Chapter 1396: Dreary Star



Chapter 1396: Dreary Star

"It’s alright. Don’t worry about us. In the worse case, we will just follow you wherever you hide. Perhaps as time passes, the danger will pass too. We even got some Marks of an Immortal King too." Xu Zidong smiled.

They were more optimistic than Wu Yu had expected.

The Gu Di Immortal Lord had several Marks of an Immortal King with her. Including the ones that Wu Yu had given them previously and excluding the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King for himself, they had a total of nine Marks of an Immortal King.

Wu Yu took them out, handed them to Xu Zidong, and remarked, "These are presents for everyone, and they are just sufficient for everyone to become immortal kings."

"No, we can’t...."

Before they could finish their words, Wu Yu interjected and laughed. "Alright. Don’t stand on ceremony with me. I definitely kept something better for myself before I’m willing to give these to you guys."

The rest exchanged glances and broke into laughter.

Coming back from the brink of death, Yang Wenlan joked, "Don’t be courteous with this monster. When we first met him, he was still a weakling. Now he can almost go head to head with the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. His improvements can be considered miraculous, and we don’t have to worry that he will lack a Mark of an Immortal King."

"Yeah. Tell us quickly. What kind of treasure did you consume to grow to your current terrifying state!"

"We, the Ancient Ink Camp, will be following you in the future. Boss Xu, is it time for you to hand over the position as boss?"

The group cracked up.

"I never imagined we would be in the Astral Hell."

For now, they would remain within the Floating Dreams Pagoda but separated from the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, the Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi. After chatting with them for some time, Wu Yu told them his plans.

"When the 20 years are over, we will return to the sky palaces. At that time, I’ll bring everyone away and will have to trouble you guys to stay with me for some time. Let’s watch and see."

He knew Replicate after all. When the time arrived, he could just transform to another identity. There were many immortal lords around, and Wu Yu wasn’t convinced that the Primeval Mighty Miracle God would be able to find him to avenge his tribesman. Moreover, this was against the rules, so the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor would definitely interfere. Therefore, he wouldn’t have to worry about it.

After that, he would return to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.

If the Gu Di Immortal Lord and the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord pursued further investigation, they might find out about the Ancient Ink Camp. Therefore, for a very long time in the future, Wu Yu might have to carry them along with him.

"Do you have any plans regarding the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King in the Astral Hell?" asked Xu Zidong.

Wu Yu answered, "I’ll take one step at a time. If the opportunity arises, I won’t back off."

Wu Yu naturally knew the immense benefits of a 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King. Moreover, it wasn’t that he didn’t stand a chance. After all, they were in the Astral Hell.

He had lots of other advantages over others.

If he was successful with Nangong Wei, he would definitely go investigate the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King.

Wu Yu didn’t dare to tell them about Nangong Wei and the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. This matter was even more perilous than killing the Gu Di Immortal Lord. If anything went wrong, all of them would die. With time ticking away, Wu Yu could only pray that Nangong Wei could complete her counter within the remaining 2,000 years in the Floating Dreams Pagoda.

"If the Gu Huo Immortal Lord manages to retreat from the Bloody Ghosts Sect safely, perhaps the Howling Celestial Dog will find me. It’s wise for me to flee further for now."

The Astral Hell had no boundaries, and he was free to roam. Therefore, he set off and headed towards the core area. From a ghostly immortal he devoured previously, he gained a good understanding of the Astral Hell and even the 10,000 Levels of Hell. At the very least, he knew more than the other immortal lords.

Ghostly kings were plenty in the Astral Hell, including the Blood Robed Ghostly King he encountered previously.

"If I could reach a higher realm using these ghostly kings, it wouldn’t be bad. That way, I won’t have to run and hide immediately when I encounter the Gu Huo Immortal Lord."

For Wu Yu, this place was still precarious.

Wu Yu took roughly two months to reach the core area. Along the way, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord didn’t catch up to him. This was because Wu Yu had taken the form of a ghostly immortal, making it more convenient for him to move around than the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and others. Ye Xixi was also a ghostly immortal, and she had reached the Immortal Lord Realm. She was dying from boredom in the Floating Dreams Pagoda and therefore came out to travel with Wu Yu. Both of them loitered around to investigate news of the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King.

"I heard that a group of immortals showed up at the Bloody Ghosts Sect more than a month ago and killed the Blood Robed Ghostly King. Subsequently, several neighboring sects came out in full force to avenge the Blood Robed Ghostly King."

"To think immortals would be here. They sure are courting their own deaths! However, why would the neighboring sects pursue them?"

"I heard it’s because the immortals carry invaluable treasures. Humans would die for riches, just as birds will for food. Do you really think they want to avenge the Blood Robed Ghostly King?"

Hearing this, Wu Yu was astounded. He had not expected the Gu Huo Immortal Lord to be capable of killing someone at the Great Void Ghostly Realm.

"It’s been a long time since I came out, and it was really depressing. However, now that I’ve reached the Immortal Lord Realm, I should be able to do as I wish in the lower levels of hell!"

What Ye Xixi wanted most was to stretch and relax at this point.

As for the Full Moon of Nanshan, he could set off on his own adventures once they were back in the sky palaces. No one recognized him at this point, and the feud that Wu Yu had made during this period had nothing to do with him.

Ye Xixi was a ghostly immortal after all and was more suitable to move around in hell. Although she hated this place, she heard from Wu Yu that on some levels, the environment and atmosphere weren’t that bad. Some ghostly immortals also had a clean path of cultivation and weren’t as brutal and cruel as other ghostly immortals.

The truth was, they should have started roaming around a long time ago. Although they wouldn’t have as much time as they did in the Floating Dreams Pagoda, trials and tribulations were also extremely important. Through various trials and what Wu Yu had imparted to them, their improvements would be larger.

Moreover, both of them had abilities to preserve their lives. For example, the Full Moon of Nanshan’s Gone from the Skies could even avoid most of the ghostly kings. As for Ye Xixi’s transformation mystique, the black grit that she turned into was even more vivid than what Wu Yu’s Replicate could achieve.

However, Ye Xixi still chose to follow Wu Yu.

"There’s a star ahead that is without a ruler. Let’s enter it and do some scouting."

Wu Yu had gradually shifted his goal towards the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King.

Before him was a large, black star that had various buildings painted in black. There were also several humongous ghostly immortal cities. As there wasn’t a ruler on the star, it was a little more chaotic. Several factions divided the star and occupied different areas. They contested, battled, and fought for territories and cultivation resources. Nonetheless, several factions of ghostly immortals created order on the star, and several cities were lively and robust with some regular trading activities.

Wu Yu and Ye Xixi arrived above the star and descended into a ghostly immortal city named Dark Star City. This place was different from other ghostly immortal cities and was rather lively. However, there was also a lingering creepy atmosphere. Security was tight in many shops and battles breaking out from conflicts were common.

Wu Yu and Ye Xixi were foreigners and therefore attracted the attention of many ghostly immortals while they were walking the streets. It was especially so for Ye Xixi, who was cute and adorable. Furthermore, she had inherited the legacy of an elite immortal and practiced a unique cultivation art, so her disposition was outstanding. While still dark and tranquil, she was a beauty in the darkness and especially attention-grabbing.

For them, who were used to being in the sky palaces, everything in hell had a unique different, exotic feel. The dressings of female ghostly immortals were more vivacious and alluring. The treasures produced in this place might not be available in the sky palaces. Ye Xixi was fascinated by them, while Wu Yu was focused on listening to the conversations of the ghostly immortals around him.

For example, he heard many ghostly immortals on the Dreary Star discussing the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. It was said that many of them had headed that way to pursue the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. At this moment, they hadn’t heard about the other four groups causing a huge commotion. It seemed like they were more cautious than the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, or rather, with the Gu Huo Immortal Lord setting an example, they were more alert.

"Big Brother Yu, I need the Nine Beads of the Dark Star for my physical body world cultivation." While passing by a shop, Ye Xixi pulled Wu Yu aside. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the nine dullish beads behind the layers and layers of immortal designs of the small shop. They were dazzling like brilliant stars in darkness.

Each bead had complicated spiritual marks around it, totalling over a thousand. From the number of spiritual marks, one would know the treasure was great. When Wu Yu forged his physical body world, he also required some treasures as the world nucleus.

The ghostly immortal shop was managed by only one female ghostly immortal. She was at about the level of a 4-realm ghostly immortal. When Ye Xixi pulled Wu Yu to the shop, she didn’t even lift her head and was playing with a destinable ghostly treasure in her hands.

"What’s the price of these?" Different from the shops of immortals in the sky palaces where prices were transparent, there weren’t any indications here. Wu Yu could only ask her.

She lifted her head, and Wu Yu was surprised by her green face. Ye Xixi was caught by surprise too and jumped back in horror.

Her gaze froze and she shouted, "I’m not selling them. Get lost!"

"What’s wrong with you? You open a shop and even put them out for sale. Yet you aren’t selling them now?" Ye Xixi really wanted those items as they were needed for her cultivation.

"Get lost now, or you guys might just lose your lives here!"

That female ghostly immortal stared daggers at Wu Yu and Ye Xixi. Perhaps she abhorred good-looking girls like Ye Xixi.

Ye Xixi was infuriated and cursed, "Ugly bitch, full of excuses. If you aren’t selling, so be it. Who’s interested in them!?"

When she was done, she pulled Wu Yu away while still fuming. However, to her surprise, that female ghostly immortal slammed the table and stood up abruptly. She scoffed, "You guys are new to this place and yet dare to offend me. You must be tired of living!"

At this point, from the back of the shop came another ghostly immortal that was green from head to toe. He had sharp fangs and looked just like a killing machine.

"Hold back that man while I decapitate that girl. I’ll hang her head on my door and let her know who the ugly bitch is!"
