Chapter 1115

Although the souls that were pulled out from the bottle were all in pain, only a small number of souls that weren't strong enough were destroyed. The spirit bird's cultivation seemed to be progressing step by step and wasn't killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. This made Gu Chen feel a lot more at ease.

Therefore, the chances of survival for the Ghost Emperor, Ghost King, and the others greatly increased.

He quietly observed. Suddenly, the spirit bird's face turned pale and its body swayed. It quickly waved its sleeves and recalled all the souls back into the Soul Refining Bottle.

When the dim light at the mouth of the Soul Refining Bottle dissipated, his tense expression relaxed a little.

"The more souls this Soul Refining Bottle gathers, the higher the level of the soul, the stronger it becomes. Up until now, I can't control it as well as I want."

The spirit bird's face was gloomy as it muttered to itself.

Then, it seemed to remember something and the gloominess on its face disappeared.

"The Underworld Dao Sword is the Underworld Immortal Emperor's Dao Verification weapon. It is nourished by the essence of death. When I get my hands on it tomorrow, I believe my control over the Soul Refining Bottle will increase. It will eventually become my Dao Verification weapon!

In the dark, Gu Chen listened to the spirit bird's murmur and thought to himself.

This was the second time he heard about the Dao Proving Weapon. Earlier, when he used the River Styx to take away Lei Xiao Zi's thunder hammer, he also mentioned it.

Dao Proving Weapon was a godly weapon that accompanied cultivators to prove their Dao. After a cultivator proved their Dao, it would become an emperor weapon that would greatly increase the battle power of an emperor.

It seemed that materials that could be used as Dao Proving Weapons were extremely rare and not much weaker than emperor weapons.

His Desolate Ancient Treasure Tree should also be considered such a material.

It should have been the Desolate Emperor's Dao Proving Weapon. Unfortunately, the Desolate Emperor died after breaking through and couldn't turn it into a powerful emperor weapon.

The spirit bird was already considering using the Soul Refining Bottle as a Dao Proving Weapon. This meant that it was very close to the emperor realm.

"How many geniuses like him are there?"

Gu Chen's heart rippled. He remembered what Lei Xiao Zi had said. As long as someone the Xing County wanted appeared among the Outer World Hundred, the Ninth Realm would soon be destroyed.

If the Xing County only wanted someone who successfully proved their Dao in the Ninth Realm, then it was only a matter of time before someone like that appeared among the Outer World Hundred appeared …

"After obtaining the Yellow Springs Dao Sword, I can't stay in the Underworld for long. I have to open the Yellow Springs Treasury as soon as possible."

The serene bird muttered to itself. Its eyes revealed a greedy glint as it grabbed the Soul Refining Bottle.

Hum –

Soon, eleven souls appeared in front of him.

These eleven souls all looked battered and exhausted, and the soul of the old man in the lead was extremely illusory, as if he could dissipate into smoke at any time.

"Mo Yanshen, my patience is wearing thin. If you still don't tell me how to open the Yellow Springs Treasury, I'm afraid your soul will really scatter."

The Serene Bird coldly said to the old man.

This old man was none other than the Underworld's Underworld Lord, Mo Yanshen. Gu Chen's attention was first drawn to him, but very quickly, it was drawn to the person behind him.

Ghost Emperor!

The Ghost Emperor's soul was standing right behind Mo Yanshen. Even though he did not seem to be in a good state, he was still in a better state than the rest.

Gu Chen was excited. The Ghost Emperor was indeed not dead!

Unfortunately, he did not see Ghost King among the others, so he did not know if he was also safe.

"I've said it before. Other than the Immortal Emperor, no one can open the Yellow Springs Treasury."

Mo Yanshen replied with a weak voice.

Hmph.

Getting the same answer again, the Serene Bird was very displeased and glanced at the other souls.

"Ten Yama Kings, do you all have the same answer?"

All ten of them, including the Ghost Emperor, chose to remain silent without a hint of fear on their faces.

"Very good. Each of you is tougher than the last. I admire that."

The Serene Bird laughed coldly. "But how long can you all last? Enduring the pain of having your souls refined every day, your souls will scatter sooner or later, won't they?"

"What's the point of being blindly loyal to the Old Prefecture Lord? After so many years, has he ever led the Underworld to greatness? Instead of pledging loyalty to him, you might as well pledge loyalty to me. "

"Shut up! How can you compare to the Prefecture Lord? "

King Qinguang from the First Court retorted angrily.

The Serene Bird was not angry and replied calmly. "I can help you find the Yellow Springs Dao Sword and lead the Underworld back to glory. Isn't that enough?"

"Yellow Springs Dao Sword?"

The Yama Kings of the Ten Palaces were shocked when they heard this.

"Ever since the Immortal Emperor disappeared, the Yellow Springs Dao Sword has been lost for a million years. How are you going to find it?"

Mo Yanshen could not help but ask.

The Serene Bird glanced at him in disdain. "Don't worry about how I found it. It will appear before you tomorrow."

Seeing how confident the Serene Bird was, Mo Yanshen and the Ten Yama Kings felt their hearts sink.

If the Yellow Springs Dao Sword was obtained by this person, the Underworld would truly be doomed!

"I'll give you one last day. When I bring the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to you, I hope you will make a wise choice and tell me how to open the treasury."

"No matter who among you tells me this, I will reward them handsomely. But if you still refuse to cooperate, I will use the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to kill all of you!"

The Serene Bird revealed a sinister smile as it spoke.

Everyone's hearts sank. This time, the Serene Bird was no longer a threat. His patience was at its limit.

"Since you've already obtained the Yellow Springs Dao Sword, why are you still coveting the treasury? Could there be anything more precious than the Immortal Emperor's Natal Monarch Weapon? "

Mo Yanshen's eyes were filled with sorrow as he said unwillingly.

"Hehe, old man, don't try to fool me. Do you really think I don't know what's in the Yellow Springs Treasury?"

The Serene Bird revealed a mocking expression. "The Statue of Life and Death that the Heavenly Emperor gave to the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor is in the treasury, right?"

Mo Yanshen's pupils constricted when he heard this, and disbelief appeared on his face as he cried out involuntarily. "How do you know about this?"

The Serene Bird was delighted at his reaction. "How can you guess my capabilities?"

"No matter what, I must get that Statue of Life and Death. Think about it carefully. You only have one day left!"

With that, the Serene Bird kept the souls of Mo Yanshen and the others back into the Soul Refining Bottle.

In the process, Gu Chen hesitated on whether he should save them. But after some thought, he gave up on the idea.

The souls of the eleven were too close to the Serene Bird and were controlled by the Soul Refining Bottle. It would be difficult for him to save them if he acted rashly. The risk was too great.

Moreover, the secret of the Yellow Springs Treasury shocked Gu Chen. The item that the Heavenly Emperor gave to the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor?

What was the Statue of Life and Death?

His intuition told him that the Serene Bird had many secrets, so he held back and did not make a move.

After the Serene Bird gave the Underworld its ultimatum, it sat on the spot with its eyes flickering. It seemed to have thought for a long time before taking out a Voice Transmission Talisman.

"What's the matter?"

It contacted someone through the Voice Transmission Talisman. The other party's calm voice sounded in the palace.
