Chapter 357: Chapter 229 Monarch-level, Giant

“If you can’t come to me, then I shall go to you!”

That was Feng Qing’an’s simple idea. However, when he voiced this thought, which he hardly thought thoroughly about, even Donghuang, who was always calm and composed in the face of any situation, even facing a heavenly catastrophe, showed surprise. She looked down at Feng Qing’an.

“You want to follow me to the underworld?”

“What? No? The environment is a bit harsh, but I’ve already adapted to it.”

Ordinary people who set foot in the underworld don’t just have to worry about being targeted by underworld ghosts. Even if they just inhale some Yin Qi, they can’t last long before they will turn into one of the ghost creatures.

Feng Qing’an has already contracted with the Blazing Sun Tree. The Yin Qi in the underworld poses no harm to him. On the contrary, to a certain extent, it can be converted into nourishment for him, just like the Spiritual Qi floating in the human realm.

“The difference between the underworld and the human realm isn’t just about whether you can adapt or not.”

At this moment, Donghuang’s gaze was deep, and her expression was extremely serious.

If it weren’t for her father’s arrangement that transformed her into a Yin Spirit, she would never have chosen to cultivate in the underworld. Now, only the underworld is most suitable for her.

Feng Qing’an in the human realm is like a fish back in water. But now he proposed to follow her to the underworld for cultivation. Although the underworld environment poses no significant obstacles for his cultivation, the underworld is fundamentally different from the human realm.

Even the weakest ghost creatures there will devour each other. There is no order there, let alone a soil where human ethics and morality can take root. In the underworld, there is only the naked survival of the fittest.

Her Ghost Nation might seem decent, but that’s all because of her presence. She suppresses the entire territory with her absolute strength, making all the ghosts obedient. Even if there are great monks from the human realm preaching in the capital, no ghost dares to try their flesh and blood.

But as long as there is a slight problem with her, a horrific backlash will occur, just like not long ago. Even just a rumor of her declining strength could cause a rebellion inside and outside the country before it was verified.

“What else is there?”

Feng Qing’an did not give up. Compared to the human realm where he was often disturbed, he was more interested in You Huang Ghost Country. He had seen it through Black Mountain’s eyes many times, but he had never been there personally.

“You have not yet witnessed the brutality and cruelty of ghosts. Even if we were in the underworld, I cannot always stay by your side. Even I can be negligent sometimes.”

Since Donghuang had never considered taking Feng Qing’an to the underworld, her reflexive response was opposition upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s desire to go with her for cultivation. Even with her current strength, she can fully ensure Feng Qing’an’s safety in the underworld.

However, the underworld is unpredictable, and horrifying events occur often. Compared to the human realm, the underworld is much more dangerous. She doesn’t want to put Feng Qing’an at risk, even if the probability of running into a danger she can’t handle is almost nil.

“Just because I took part in the imperial examination and am somewhat a Confucian scholar, doesn’t mean I’m helpless!”

Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but laugh at Donghuang’s words.

“Even if I go to the underworld and you leave me alone, I won’t die immediately.”

“If you possess power that can compete with the Ghost King, I can take you to the underworld for cultivation.”

Seeing Feng Qing’an’s persistence, Donghuang also took a step back and made a clear request.

The power one can master is the real cornerstone to stand between heaven and earth. If you have enough strong power, even so-called forbidden zones can be treaded upon at ease.

Though in the underworld, there are even more terrifying existences. Even Donghuang is still careful and cautious. However, in any case, the Ghost King can be considered as common high-level strength in the underworld. Those above it are unlikely to be encountered in normal scenarios unless one is incredibly unlucky.

“Compete with the Ghost King?”

This level of strength, it is equivalent to having the power of a monarch. If he were a cultivator, this would put him at the level of core formation. Of course, even among those who achieve the status of a Yuan Dan, there are different levels.

Those who form a top three golden pill can be called immortals, and those who achieve the Law Body image ahead of time and are almost certain to break through and join the ranks of Human Immortals can be called superior immortals.

Leaving Donghuang aside, Feng Qing’an doesn’t have anyone around who could compete with a Ghost King. Whether it’s Black Mountain or Sen Miao, even the slightly superior Minglong, they are at best a bit better.

Because this creature can use the power of the divine weapon to launch a strike that can threaten a monarch. But it’s limited by its low spirit power. It can’t maintain this level of combat at all. It is a matter of life and death at the touch of a button, either you die, or I live.

Obviously, this is not the range Donghuang is considering. What she referred to when mentioning power to compete with a Ghost King must be the regular expression of power, emitting force anytime, anywhere.

“It’s a bit of a hassle!”

After contemplating for a moment, Feng Qing’an muttered. The strongest under his command now are Minglong, Sen Miao, and Black Mountain. They all have the potential to be promoted to monarchs, but they need time to tap into their potential.

This time, for the big demons who usually have hundreds to thousands of years of lifespan, is naturally short. But for Feng Qing’an, a Beast Master, it seems a bit long.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me to finish reading these Dao Sutras, then it won’t be too late to make a decision.”

Seeing Feng Qing’an start thinking about how to meet the requirements to accompany her to the underworld, Donghuang gave him a sidelong glance and said somewhat helplessly.
