Chapter 222: Ghost Cultivation Realm
Thinking of this, Netherworld Master suddenly took a step back, stretched out his hand to take out his black flag, and then raised his hand. The black flag rose in the wind and soon covered the sky above the entire mine. As the flag shook, bursts of ghosts and wolves howled came from inside.
It was this move again. When Netherworld Master could not attack Helan Feng for a long time, he also sacrificed this black flag. However, as soon as he sacrificed the black flag, Helan Feng cut off his head with the golden sword talisman. After that, Helan Feng was bitten to death due to carelessness, so this move was not used.
Like Helan Feng, Qingyang also knew that Netherworld Master dared to sacrifice the black flag at this time. The power of this move must be very great. If he was allowed to fully display it, he might not be his opponent. Unfortunately, Qingyang did not have the golden sword talisman, so he could only swing his sword to attack Netherworld Master.
The cultivation level that was forcibly improved was indeed not comparable to that of a true ninth-level cultivator in the Kaimai Realm. This foundation alone was too much worse. It was also the Netherworld Master who cast a spell. He Lanfeng was able to take the opportunity to cut off the opponent's head, but Qingyang could only attack desperately.
Facing Qingyang's attack, Netherworld Master was well prepared. He controlled the black flag on his head while gradually retreating to buy himself time. The strength of the corpse that was sacrificed into a corpse puppet doubled. Even if it could not reach the level of a magic weapon, it was not much different. Netherworld Master directly used his arms as weapons and danced tightly to block Qingyang's series of attacks.
Qingyang's attack was still effective. Netherworld Master resisted Qingyang while controlling the black flag on his head. Naturally, his efficiency was much lower. In a blink of an eye, he was hit by two or three swords and had several wounds on his body, but the injuries were not serious and did not affect his actions.
However, Netherworld Master's method was finally successful. Suddenly, the black flag on his head released a thick black fog, covering the entire mine. At this time, Qingyang's eyes could no longer see anything, and he could only use his divine thoughts to feel everything around him.
The consciousness of the middle stage of Kaimai Realm is still very weak. If it continues like this, it will be exhausted sooner or later. By then, he will become deaf and blind, and can only be slaughtered by others. Qingyang couldn't help but feel a little desperate. He thought that with the blood burning technique, he could defeat the real person of the netherworld. Now he realized that he was too happy a little too early. The foundation of the foundation-building cultivator was not comparable to his. Could it be that he could only hide in the drunken fairy gourd for the rest of his life?
At this time, several roars suddenly came from the surroundings, and then five figures appeared in the darkness, surrounding Qingyang. These five figures were of course not people, but five ghosts at the Qi Refining level. Each of them had a hideous face and red eyes. Sometimes they cried softly, sometimes they roared loudly, and sometimes they screamed sharply, staring at Qingyang closely, as if they wanted to eat him.
Ghost cultivators are also divided into realms, but ghost cultivators, ghosts and zombies are different, so the classification method is also different. Ghost Dao cultivators are the same as ordinary cultivators, and they are also in the Kaimai realm, the Refining Qi stage, the Foundation building stage, and the Golden Core stage, while ghosts are divided into the Ghost Soul stage, the Ghost Shadow stage, the Ghost Shape stage, the Ghost Spirit stage, and so on.
Among them, the Ghost Soul stage is generally just a conscious or unconscious energy body. The weak ones can only take advantage of the ordinary people when they are too sad and distracted. The strong ones can disturb the mind and make people sick, and even affect the Kaimai realm cultivators. In short, the attack power of ghosts in the Ghost Soul stage is not very strong, equivalent to ordinary people or Kaimai realm cultivators.
The Ghost Shadow stage is another realm after the ghosts become powerful. The Ghost Shadow stage can show their figures and change into any appearance according to their wishes. The ghosts in the Ghost Shadow stage have strong spiritual thoughts and are extremely good at mental attacks, and even control the enemy for their own use. The only flaw is that the ghost shadow is extremely weak, even worse than the body of an ordinary person, and it is easy to be defeated. The ghosts in the Ghost Shadow stage are the evil ghosts in the secular world, which are almost equivalent to the Refining Qi stage among cultivators.
As for the ghost cultivators in the ghost form stage, they have cultivated a real body and can walk in the outside world. They are not much different from ordinary cultivators. Their mental attacks are more powerful. Of course, their disadvantage is that their physical defense ability is slightly poor. Their overall strength is equivalent to that of foundation-building cultivators.
The ghost spirit stage is similar to the golden elixir stage among cultivators. They also need to go through a simple spiritual wisdom tribulation. After that, the ghost's spiritual wisdom will be greatly opened, and the previous bloodthirsty and brutal instincts will gradually fade away. They can also restore some of their memories before their death. The ghost body will also be greatly strengthened. They are almost the same as normal cultivators in all aspects, and they can also be recognized by other cultivators.
As for zombies, they take another route of body refining. From low to high, there are iron-armored zombies, copper-armored zombies, silver-armored zombies, gold-armored zombies, etc.
Iron-armored zombies are newly born zombies. Because their skin color is black, like iron armor, they are called iron-armored zombies. Ordinary iron-armored zombies have no spiritual wisdom, are bloodthirsty and brutal, and act completely on instinct. Their combat effectiveness is average, but their bodies are hard and their defense is amazing. Among them, the strong ones can even defeat the cultivators in the Kaimai realm.
After the Iron Armored Zombie advances, its skin color gradually turns green, and it even grows some green hair. From a distance, it looks like it is wearing a layer of rusted bronze armor. This level of zombie is called a Copper Armored Zombie. The Copper Armored Zombie has a stronger defense, and its overall strength is equivalent to that of a Qi-training monk.
After the Copper Armored Zombie advances again, its skin color turns from green to white, and it becomes a Silver Armored Zombie, and its strength is comparable to that of a Foundation-Building Monk. The joints of the Silver Armored Zombie will gradually soften, and some of the original zombie characteristics will gradually hide. The original bloodthirsty and brutal instincts will gradually fade, and it will begin to evolve in the direction of an ordinary monk. The only weakness is the fragility of the Yuanshen.
When the zombie evolves into a golden armor zombie, not only will its strength be improved, but it will also go through a spiritual tribulation like the demon beast, thus giving birth to true spiritual intelligence. After the birth of spiritual intelligence, the weakness of the zombie's soul will gradually be made up. Of course, it is still inferior to the cultivators of the same level, and it cannot be compared with ghost cultivators. Zombies that have gone through the spiritual tribulation are almost the same as ordinary cultivators in all aspects, and will gradually be recognized by cultivators.
Because humans are the leaders of all spirits and the ultimate form of evolution of all creatures, only human cultivators in the Jindan and Yuanying stages only need to practice meditation to break through, while any other creatures who want to break through the Jindan and Yuanying stages must go through the spiritual tribulation and the transformation tribulation.
The spiritual tribulation of a zombie is to give birth to spiritual intelligence and possess wisdom, and the transformation tribulation is to transform the zombie body into a human form; the spiritual tribulation of a ghost cultivator is to revive his spiritual intelligence and restore some of his memories before death, and the transformation is to change his condensed ghost body into a real body; the same is true for monsters, after the spiritual tribulation, they will be able to give birth to wisdom and speak, and after the transformation tribulation, they can transform into a human form.
