Master is too ambitious

Chapter 169 Yama Robe

Ahead was a stretch of endless dark mountains with a lake at a low point, but there was no sense of danger, and it even emitted a gentle and peaceful atmosphere.

Ji Qian nodded slightly to Su Feng: "Right here."

Su Feng suddenly accelerated and landed at the edge of the lake one step ahead of Ji Qian, saying, "Master, come here." Ji Qian couldn't help but smile, and landed beside him, and Su Feng immediately held his left hand tightly.

Bai Yunke showed up a little later. The aura here gave him a familiar feeling. He had felt it on the seated Zuo Sheng Emperor when he first worshipped in the Holy Palace. He said, "Old man, I have felt the aura of this lake on the Emperor."

"Friend, have you met Emperor Zuo Sheng?" Ji Qian asked in surprise?

Bai Yunke laughed and said, "It's a long story, so I'll make it short."

Su Feng said: "Senior, please speak."

Bai Yunke said, "The old man died in Jiaolu Cave Mansion. Somehow his soul came to the Netherworld. Because of his sword skills, he won the favor of the Ghost King Juanwu under the Emperor. Later, he practiced with the Ghost King Juanwu and became a Ghost King. The Ghost King Juanwu recommended me to the Emperor. I was grateful that the Emperor did not abandon me and I was able to meet him once."

It was quite nostalgic: "Hey, the Emperor also appreciates my swordsmanship, I am really flattered." After a pause, it said: "The aura in this lake is somewhat similar to the aura when I met the Emperor that day."

"So that's how it is." Ji Qian pondered.

The aura in the lake is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Zuo Sheng. Usually, something that can make an aura similar must be a magical weapon or a part of the body that has acquired the original aura.

Su Feng suggested: "If that's the case, I'll go explore the lake."

Bai Yunke stopped him and said, "The surface of Yinshan Lake may seem calm, but the bottom of the lake and other distorted spaces cannot be explored at will."

Ji Qian smiled and said, "When did my friend become so cautious?"

Bai Yunke was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yeah, when did I become so timid?"

Thinking back to the past, Bai Yunke would not hesitate at all even in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire. But now, it was just a distorted space, but it made him shrink back.

Ji Qian said, "My friend, please wait here. I will go down with my disciple to investigate."

Bai Yunke still had some concerns in his heart, so he agreed, "May my good friend have a prosperous military career."

Su Feng held Ji Qian's hand tightly, and without hesitation, the two of them turned into Yin Qi and plunged into the Yinshan Lake.

As soon as he entered the Yinshan Lake, Ji Qian felt a force pulling him towards the bottom of the lake. Su Feng naturally felt that Ji Qian seemed to be attracted by something. This force was much higher than his cultivation of the Second Tribulation Heavenly Thunder, making it impossible for him to resist. So he used the Seal of Freedom, and a mark was imprinted on Ji Qian's body, like a bit of starlight, leading the way in the darkness.

There was a white mist in front of him, with countless black and white turntables spinning non-stop, constantly revealing the exquisite meaning of life and death. Ji Qian couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch the mist. Suddenly, the mist pounced towards him and swallowed him up. Su Feng was watching from behind and hurriedly rushed towards the mist.

After a brief moment of weightlessness, Ji Qian opened his eyes and found himself in a palace. The bronze lamps on the wall all lit up with green lights. On the right stood an antique mirror extending to the top of the palace, and on the left were carvings of lifelike kings of the underworld.

Ji Qian looked up and saw "Yama Luo Hall" written in innate Yin script on an ancient plaque.

Was the fog meant to lure him to the Yama Palace?

The system reminded: "Host, look ahead!"

Ji Qian looked in the direction indicated by the system and saw a judgement platform standing tall about ten feet away. A figure wearing a crown and Yama robe was sitting behind the judgement platform.

This is?

"Yan Luo robe?!"

The system laughed and said, "That's it! Host, go get it!"

"......You...come......"

The sound was the same as the one in the fog before.

Ji Qian asked, "Will you let me come?"

"......return......"

Ji Qian rushed towards the judgement seat. When he just touched the Yama robe, it opened up and was spontaneously put on him. A little light gathered together, and the light became brighter and brighter, and finally merged into Ji Qian's true soul.

Everything seemed to be taken for granted as Ji Qian sat behind the judgement seat.

Yama's robe fit him perfectly, and his body began to grow until it touched the top of the palace, and his shadow extended to take up the entire ceiling.

The drapery of the crown obscured his face, making it obscure.

There was a vague aura of terror in the air. If a ghost entered at this moment, it would probably have to kneel with its head on the ground and dare not look up and forward.

Ji Qian was unable to sense the outside world at this moment. From the moment he put on the Yama robe, he only felt that his true soul was gradually growing stronger and his cultivation was rising steadily.

Three disasters of heavenly thunder.

A decline.

Second decline.

Three declines.

Four declines.

Five declines.

It will not stop until you reach the level of True Immortal.

The Book of Life and Death in his consciousness, a pen of life and death, the Banner of Acting on Behalf of Heaven and the Yama robe resonated with each other, as if they were expressing their joy at finally meeting each other after a long separation.

He seemed to have realized the supreme truth of life and death, and for a moment the entire Yama Palace became extremely quiet.

This state lasted for about half an incense stick of time. His body gradually shrank and his cultivation began to regress. Only when he recovered to the second level of heavenly thunder did Ji Qian break free from this mysterious state.

Ji Qian hesitated for a while, and then asked the system: "Is this Yama robe my magic weapon?"

The system checked its fingers for a long time before answering: "No, but also."

This answer is really strange. What does it mean to be neither or both? So is it neither or both? There is no accurate answer.

Ji Qian said, “Wait until I see Him?”

The system said, “Yes, see Him.”

Ji Qian smiled and said, “I understand.”

The system reminded: "Host, your mission is completed. Do you want to claim your reward?"

Ji Qian said, “Receive it.”

The system said with a smile: "It has been placed in the host's backpack, remember to check it!"

"Master! Are you okay?!" Su Feng's voice came. He looked a little embarrassed. The edge of his headband was torn, and there were two blood marks on his handsome face. The scars of the second tribulation heavenly thunder were visible on his face. It seemed that the opponent was very difficult to deal with.

Ji Qian came down from the trial platform, held Su Feng's open hand, wiped the blood off his face with heartache, and said, "I'm fine, are you in trouble?"

Seeing that Ji Qian was unharmed, Su Feng finally smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just separated from my master and encountered three ghost cultivators and had a fight."

He said it lightly, but Ji Qian knew that things would not be that simple, so he asked, "Are they the three who are chasing you and me outside?"

Su Feng laughed and said, "It's them. It's really strange. We have no grudges against them, but they came and tried to kill us right away."

Ji Qian said: "I'm afraid he realized that you and I are alive."

That's true. A living person who has been struck by the second tribulation of heavenly thunder is a great tonic for these ghost cultivators, and they must not let him go.

Su Feng looked around, saw the mirror, and asked, "Where is this?"

Ji Qian said, "Yama Palace."
