Ch. 1667 - Going To Mortal City, Jade Maiden Palace Recruitment Conference

You must know that his previous move, the Ghost God believed that even an Infinite Dao cultivator would have to exert great effort to resist it.

But Xu Zimo simply stood there in place, yet suffered no harm whatsoever.

This was because he didn't understand the ability of the Heaven-Unity Three Gates God-Scripture.

"I always keep my word. Since you received this move, you may leave this Five Ghost Forest."

The Ghost God said indifferently.

"Whether I leave or not, when the hell did I need your permission?"

Xu Zimo said indifferently.

"For the sake of your pitiful self-esteem? Simply put, neither of us can do anything to the other, right?"

Hearing this, the Ghost God let out a heavy cold snort.

He was a Ghost God, the master of the Five Ghost Forest.

Naturally, he was unwilling to admit he couldn't even handle this fellow.

"Where are you from?" the Ghost God asked.

Although he had long dwelt in the Five Ghost Forest, he still knew something about the Great Beyond.

Whether it was the Three Sects, One Gate, or One Palace.

As for other powers, that was even more impossible.

"Are you a visitor from the Nine Heavens?"

Xu Zimo didn't answer him, only quietly looked at him.

But the Ghost God thought it made more and more sense.

Although the Great Beyond and the Nine Heavens weren't in the same world, the spatial barrier was extremely solid.

But once strength reached a certain level, breaking through the spatial barrier wasn't impossible.

Just like him, he could break through the spatial barrier.

However, the Ghost God was unwilling to go to the Nine Heavens. It was too chaotic there. Even if an Infinite Dao cultivator went, they might not be able to protect themselves.

On the contrary, the situation in the Great Beyond was relatively clear.

Between the various major powers, a delicate balance had formed. At least there wouldn't be great wars.

These years, he had often heard of visitors from the Nine Heavens.

However, the Ghost God rarely went out.

This was the first time he had seen someone from the Nine Heavens.

He frowned.

He didn't like people from the Nine Heavens.

Because in his view, the Nine Heavens would break the tranquility of the Great Beyond.

Not only him, many natives of the Great Beyond had no good feelings toward the Nine Heavens.

"What are you people from the Nine Heavens doing coming to our Great Beyond?" the Ghost God asked coldly.

"I heard the scenery of the Great Beyond is quite good. I came for tourism," Xu Zimo smiled.

"You're not welcome here," the Ghost God replied.

"Whether I'm welcome or not, you don't have the final say," Xu Zimo replied.

"If the cultivators of my lineage all descended and trampled this Great Beyond, what difficulty would there be? Of course, you should be grateful that only I came this time."

The Ghost God felt Xu Zimo's words were somewhat arrogant.

So he didn't want to argue much.

With a wave of his large hand, the surviving Yama Ghost Sovereign and Other Shore Ghost Sovereign were seized.

He directly threw them out of the Five Ghost Forest depths.

"Leave as soon as possible."

After the Ghost God finished speaking, his figure also disappeared along with the sky full of black mist.

Xu Zimo turned his head to look. At the edge of the Five Ghost Forest, the ghost mist retreated, revealing a great road.

Under normal circumstances, without the Ghost Race's permission, it was very difficult to leave from here.

"Come on. Let's go," Xu Zimo looked at the old man.

The old man hurriedly drove the carriage, leaving along the great road.

………

Outside the Five Ghost Forest, it was a plain. In the boundless plain, one could finally see a city at the end of heaven and earth.

Although blurry and unclear, at least there were signs of human habitation.

"We're out, finally out!" The old man took a deep breath and shouted excitedly.

Being able to come out of the Five Ghost Forest alive was something he could brag about for a lifetime.

"There aren't many people who come out of the Five Ghost Forest alive?" Xu Zimo asked.

"Thank you for saving our lives, senior," the old man first expressed his gratitude.

Then he hurriedly replied:

"Very few. As far as I know, apart from the Eternal Saint of the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect, almost no one can come out alive."

"Perhaps there are cultivators who can, but those aren't people we can have contact with."

"Since it's so dangerous, why would you enter the Five Ghost Forest?" Xu Zimo asked again.

A flash of embarrassment crossed the old man's face.

He then explained, "We were being pursued earlier, and my strength wasn't enough.

At that time, either we'd be killed by them, or we could only hide in the Five Ghost Forest where those people didn't dare chase us."

Hearing these words, Xu Zimo looked at Luo Mingyue in the carriage.

It seemed her origins weren't simple either.

Otherwise, why would she encounter assassination?

As if knowing Xu Zimo's meaning, the old man hurriedly explained, "Lady Mingyue is the orphan of our Luo Clan's patriarch. Previously, she lived outside with her mother. Now that her mother has passed away, she wants to return to the Luo Clan. I imagine many people don't want her to return."

Actually, whether it was being pursued by people earlier or being pursued by a Fierce One in the Five Ghost Forest, all this made the old man realize something.

Someone who could hire a Fierce One was probably not an ordinary person within the Luo Clan either.

They held a high position.

He dared not speculate. He only followed the family patriarch's order to safely escort Luo Mingyue home.

………

Xu Zimo waved his hand.

He was too lazy to bother with these matters.

"Does senior want to go to Mortal City?" the old man asked.

He pointed to the city ahead.

Explaining further he spoke, "Within the Luo Clan's territory, there are thirty-six cities in total. However, the most prosperous is still Mortal City. It's also the main city and headquarters of our Luo Clan."

"Let's go take a look," Xu Zimo thought about it.

Currently, he really had nowhere else to go.

"By the way, you mentioned the Edge of Heaven is in the Jade Maiden Palace. Where is the Jade Maiden Palace?"

Hearing Xu Zimo's question, the old man fell silent for a moment.

Because he wasn't familiar with the Jade Maiden Palace.

Moreover, the Three Sects, One Gate, and One Palace were all very mysterious.

Apart from hearing about them from others, he basically had no contact with them.

On the contrary, it was Luo Mingyue in the carriage.

She had always wanted to join the Jade Maiden Palace and knew much more about this matter.

So she said, "The Jade Maiden Palace doesn't have a particularly detailed location. They're established among the celestial palaces in the sky. It's an independently floating island. To enter the Jade Maiden Palace, there's only one method, that is to be admitted into the Jade Maiden Palace. But... the Jade Maiden Palace only recruits female disciples."

From this perspective, Xu Zimo had no chance.

But Xu Zimo wasn't anxious. Instead, he smiled, "In worldly affairs, there has never been anything absolute."

"If young master is willing, you may come to our Mortal City to rest and recuperate," Luo Mingyue replied.

"As far as I know, the Jade Maiden Palace and other powers will soon begin their new recruitment conference. Our Mortal City has the honor of being one of the stops."

"Then let's go take a look," Xu Zimo thought about it and finally nodded.

Because they had left the Five Ghost Forest, they could now travel through the air.

The horse pulling the carriage was a spirit horse.

Earlier in the Five Ghost Forest, it had been suppressed by the ghost mist.

Now without the ghost mist, this spirit horse neighed and actually rose into the air, pulling the carriage toward Mortal City.

Everyone traveled through the air for about thirteen days.

The Luo Clan's territory was indeed vast.

Finally, at dawn on the fourteenth day, they arrived before Mortal City.

"Finally back," the old man looked at the majestic and magnificent city with emotion.

He was just grateful that Xu Zimo had been with them on this journey.

Otherwise, even with ten lives, they couldn't possibly have made it back alive.
