Chapter 525 - Northern Profound Hall Master (2)
Chapter 525: Northern Profound Hall Master (2)
At this moment, the door of the Northern Profound Hall opened automatically. Light and shadows appeared inside, showing the scene of thousands of ghosts enduring the scorching torture of the blade in the Fengdu dungeon.
Inside, scorching blades grew everywhere. Countless ghosts were cut and burned like butter.
Due to the opening of the Gate of Hell, the speed at which Fengdu City gathered the ghosts was more than a hundred times faster than before.
A large number of disobedient ghosts needed to be properly modified in this Fengdu City dungeon before they could become new residents.
Attracted by the scene, Qiu Shui jumped into the Northern Profound Hall with difficulty.
Whoosh! Another figure with chains around his waist slowly walked out of the main hall.
The pitch-black chains dragging on the ground would automatically extend as he walked. They would not affect his movements at close range.
“Brother Qiu Shui, the people of the world are all bitter. There’s life, there’s suffering, and there’s calamity after death. There’s never any hope of happiness in the afterlife. How miserable is that?”
“I am the City Lord of Fengdu City. We are fated to meet here. Are you willing to stay and help me?”
“I’ll help the human race survive the calamity, and you’ll eliminate the calamity of ghosts after people die.”
Jiang Li’s main body dragged the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and personally arrived. He brought Qiu Shui to watch the tragic scenes and handed a dagger to him.
The youth, Qiu Shui, looked at the Divine Statue clone behind him and then looked at Jiang Li before him, and he seemed to have already seen through a little of his background.
However, the dazzling glow of merit spiritual light on Jiang Li’s body was clearly very convincing.
......
He hesitated for a moment before taking Jiang Li’s dagger in the end. He cut open his palm and pressed it on the Northern Profound stone monument.
As the blood seeped in, the Hall Master’s stone monument immediately emitted a bright light. Qiu Shui’s name appeared at the top.
Then, an indistinct shadow appeared above the Northern Profound Hall. The entire Fengdu City began to tremble violently.
The last time he had such a reaction was when he, the successor of the Human Emperor, refined the Fengdu City Lord’s stone monument.
The commotion caused by the young man was actually not any smaller than that time.
The spiritual qi of heaven and earth and the Yin qi of the Netherworld spontaneously gathered towards Fengdu City.
The already wide Fengdu City expanded again, actually doubling in size.
This was more or less a little ridiculous. When Jiang Li did this back then, he had directly exhausted most of the energy in the coffin.
However, the current Qiu Shui had only become the Hall Master, but he had already achieved such an effect. It was really unbelievable.
Jiang Li ran out of the Northern Profound Hall and glanced at the phantom floating in the sky above the hall. His brows raised repeatedly.
Although his face could not be seen clearly, it was confirmed.
Jiang Li also sensed that another shocking force was flowing to him from the Northern Profound Hall.
After the Northern Profound Hall had an owner, he probably gained a few more benefits.
When he was in Fengdu City, the strength of the city he could mobilize doubled.
When the Northern Profound Hall Master became stronger, he could use the Northern Profound Hall to obtain a portion of the other party’s cultivation.
In addition, the Northern Profound Hall would also begin to accumulate strength. Now, he could extract the power of the Northern Profound Hall at any time to strengthen himself. According to the Hall Master, the buffs he received were also different.
He tried to mobilize the power of the Northern Profound Hall to augment himself.
[Received the main feedback of the Northern Profound Hall. Added Status: Immovable Earth Treasury.]
[Immovable Earth Treasury: Increases all attribute resistances by 200. When your status is below 50%, activate the Earth Treasury’s One-Colored Buddha Light Protection. When your status is below 25%, activate the Earth Treasury’s Three-Colored Buddha Light Protection. Duration: 30 minutes] (? +)
“Gasp… all attribute resistances increased by 200!”
Jiang Li temporarily did not understand what the Buddha Light Protection was.
However, this did not stop him from decisively changing the duration to infinite.
Little Brother Qiu Shui had actually only become the Hall Master as a mortal, yet he could bring Jiang Li such a powerful buff.
If he became stronger after cultivating, would it bring him and Fengdu City stronger?
The treasure he had picked up this time was really a little big.
Jiang Li was even worried that this treasure was too big and would crush him to death.
After all, he was the reincarnation of that person. Although it seemed that he did not have the memories and strength of that time, Jiang Li could not let his guard down.
He let out a breath. However, since the kid had already become the Northern Profound Hall Master, at the very least, he could not escape Fengdu City’s control before the other party became a true Immortal or Buddha.
If he completely repaired Fengdu City, even Immortals and Buddhas would not be able to erase the name on the stone monument.
“Congratulations on becoming the Northern Profound Hall Master. From today onwards, the Fengdu dungeon will be managed by Hall Master Qiu Shui.”
“Your burden will be heavy in the future. As the City Lord, this is my gift to you.”
Jiang Li handed the Nine Nether Earth Fruit and a Buddhist scripture to the other party.
Qiu Shui did not even look at the Nine Nether Earth Fruit. His eyes were staring fixedly at the scripture in Jiang Li’s hand.
After receiving it solemnly, he even forgot to thank Jiang Li. He sat on the ground and hugged the scripture to read.
At times, he would frown in deep thought, at times, he would laugh loudly, at times, he would be solemn, and at times, he would be enlightened.
Buddhist scriptures were clearly to his liking.
Accompanying Qiu Shui’s expression was his cultivation aura.
Qi Refinement Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 6… Level 9. In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
His Dao Foundation was forged… he held the Void Core… he turned the Void into True… he refined it into the Golden Core… he shattered his core and formed his Nascent Soul…
