"Since I have decided to join forces, let's exchange information first."

Zhou Shu said calmly, "Brother Ping, I have not found any traces of secret techniques in the middle from the first floor, and there is no trace of secret techniques in the middle, and I can be sure that I have not missed anything. In other words, the secret techniques are probably in these last two levels, if there is a secret technique."

Information is one of Zhou Shu’s most important means, and this is the significance of joining forces with He Taiping.

"I have been on the eighth floor after the strange change. I have searched back and forth three times, but I haven't found it."

He Taiping sighed, feeling a little sad, "Including the more than a year before the strange change, I have explored the eighth floor 18 times, and I have stayed on the ninth floor for ten days, but I have not found anything. Before entering the ghost realm this time, I have come in dozens of times, but at that time, without your talisman, it is a lot of trouble. It is better to come in carefully this time."

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned, "So many times?"

He Taiping spread his hands, "Starting from the sixth floor, I wish I could dig three feet into the ground."

Zhou Shu thought for a while and said, "Then you have only been on the ninth floor for ten days? Are there any strong monsters?"

"No, in fact, there are very few monsters. You may not meet one in two days, but it is not easy to support it for two days, so I can't do it."

He Taiping shook his head and explained.

Unlike other levels, the ninth floor is a large abandoned sect. It should be the site of Xingshan Gate, the center of the ghost realm, various facilities, such as weapon refining rooms, medicine fields, cultivation cave heaven, etc. Of course, there are also many formations, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the formation.

Of course, some Xingshan disciples who have become dead ghosts are mostly scattered immortals and occasionally encounter true immortals.

These are also common, and the most troublesome thing is the gray fog shrouded on the ninth layer.

This gray fog is different from other layers. It is condensed to the point where it is no different from the essence. It is not just a dead air. It also carries a lot of power of laws. Moving in the gray fog is like walking on a mountain with great pressure around you. And as you walk, you will be invaded by strange forces. You will become more and more tired. It is difficult to persevere for a day and you must go out.

Moreover, after going out, those forces are still on your body, and you have to spend a while of rest and slowly clear them, otherwise you will always carry them on your back.

"Every time I go to the ninth floor and explore for a while, I have to find a place to recuperate and take dozens of days or even more days to recover as before."

He Taiping shook his head unconsciously, "Even so, I still feel that those powers have not been completely expelled. Over the past year, my cultivation has decreased but not increased. If I can't find the secret method this time, I'm afraid it will be useless to come in next time."

Zhou Shu thought for a while and said, "Is it the kind of power in the ghost core?"

"Yes, but if you don't touch the ghost core, you won't have any trouble. When you reach the ninth floor, you'll be everywhere, and you can't get it if you don't get it."

He Taiping nodded, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "It is said that it is the power of the old mother of Xingshan, but how could a quasi-saint like Xingshan have such evil power? It's really hateful."

"I see."

Zhou Shu raised his hand and thanked him, "Brother has helped a lot."

He Taiping was quite helpless, "What kind of help is it? You will know if you go down. If you want to find a secret method, no one can hide."

Zhou Shu nodded and began to think.

He didn't know what the power came from, but what he could be sure of was that the law of life and death had a certain resistance to it. He had tested it with the ghost core. After splitting the ghost core, the power inside could be blocked by the Xuanyuan Sword. In other words, with the Xuanyuan Sword, the gray fog would not have a great impact on him. He should be able to persist on the ninth level for a longer time.

"I have something to say, too."

After a pause, Zhou Shu said slowly, "On the eighth floor, the guy didn't find the Nine Nether Ghosts Tong, did you?"

He Taiping's face tightened, "What? Nine Nether Ghost Child?"

"good."

Zhou Shu said seriously, "I just chased the Nine Nether Ghost Tong, and chased it from the fourth floor to here. If it is not on the eighth floor, it is going to the ninth floor. In other words, we may encounter it while we are looking for secret techniques."

"There are also nine ghost kids..."

He Taiping frowned, "This fierce thing is terrifying than any monster in the Ghost Realm. How come there is a lot of this ghost thing? It's a lot of trouble now. Damn, there are always ghost things happening in the Ghost Realm."

Zhou Shu looked at him, "There is always a way to deal with it. We can't help but find a secret method, right?"

"Of course I need to find it."

Speaking of the secret technique, a cold light flashed in He Taiping's eyes, and there was murderous intent to show up. "Even if the Nine Nether Ghost King is blocking me, I will go and look for it! I will die if I die. Anyway, if I can't find it, no matter how much I practice, it will be meaningless."

Zhou Shu was stunned, "That secret technique is so important to you? With the ability of the young man, even if there is no secret technique, it is not difficult to return to the past state, right?"

He Taiping looked at Zhou Shu and smiled, "Did you see it?"

Zhou Shu knew that he had missed his mouth, so he could only nod, "From the look of the guy looking at Tian Chiezhu that day, I guessed something. In fact, it's nothing to be punished. Just save your life. You can always go back to your state."

He Taiping smiled miserably, "If it were just once, maybe he could go back."

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, "Ah?"

"You guessed it, I'll just say it."

He Taiping took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I have been punished twice, of course I am not in Wufang City. From the true immortal to the miscellaneous immortal, my realm has fallen twice in succession. Hey, I beat the divine whip twice, and my strong power of the law was completely dispersed. Although I have understood the law of fire, it is difficult to condense the power of the law again. It has dispersed into sand and can't even pinch it into a ball..."

Speaking of the sadness, he finally sighed when he took a deep breath, his eyes slowly became firm, "So I can only find another way to find other ways to advance, and stay at the East Gate for the rumored secret method of the ghost realm."

Zhou Shu secretly stopped. He Taiping's experience was so strange that he had fallen twice in a row, and he had never heard of it.

He sighed and comforted, "Brother Ping, for us practitioners, no matter how many hardships we suffer, it may not be a disadvantage. If you can save your life, you will have a chance to make a comeback. I believe in you."

"Sooner or later, I'll make a comeback."

He Taiping gradually became calm, "I comfort myself so much, otherwise how could I live this life? Hehe, from a true immortal to a mixed immortal, this experience is not something that everyone can have, but... this time I can't find a secret method, and my path to cultivation will end, so I will definitely pay everything, at any cost."

He looked at Zhou Shu and said solemnly, "If you offend something, I hope you will understand. If I am destined to not get it, then I will entrust everything to you."

Zhou Shu nodded gently, "I should do my best, and the secret method is also very important to me."

"Um."
