Transcending the Nine Heavens

“However, this means that the place is not only a vast treasure trove but also an extremely dangerous and terrifying location! This is undoubtedly a Land of Extinction where all beings fall silent, and demons are rendered mute!”

The Sword Spirit sighed softly.

Chu Yang frowned, pondering the three necessary conditions.

But after thinking it over and over, he always felt it was unreasonable.

Complete confinement, killing everyone, and burying all the spiritual energy...

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit redundant. Since the decision has been made to kill everyone, why bury the spiritual energy too?

“I mean, how can one achieve these three conditions?” Chu Yang asked.

“To meet such conditions, there are two implementation directions. The first requires sufficient hatred. One must kill all the people here; furthermore, the hatred of that person must reach an extreme where they can't bear to let even a single dog escape... So, before the killings begin, complete confinement is first enacted to prevent anyone from escaping.”

“After complete confinement, extreme slaughter is unleashed, killing all people and all living beings. In the end, fearing something might be missed, one simply buries the spiritual energy here; then completely destroys the external feng shui, making this place seem ordinary and ensuring that no one will take an interest in it again…”

The Sword Spirit's expression changed, saying, “I understand now. No wonder this realm of divine origin is so bizarre. It turns out the destruction was enacted after slaughter and complete confinement; otherwise, how could it be so thoroughly destroyed…”

“What about the second implementation direction?” Chu Yang immediately asked.

“The second implementation direction also requires overwhelming hatred. However, the perpetrator has a considerable degree of empathy for the target of revenge, thus adopting the most respectful method towards the enemy and completely burying this place. Allowing all external objects to accompany it to the grave. Moreover, after a long time, a powerful group of ghosts can form here, allowing one's opponents to continue existing in another form.”

“Although the Soul Suppressing Stone is born to suppress ghosts, it still has its limits. If a ghost forms a sufficiently strong power, it can break through the Soul Suppressing Stone’s restrictions. If it truly reaches that point, the strength of that ghost should no longer fear worldly rules or ignore the Yin Realm’s anomalies, allowing it to survive in the realm of freedom and train in another way; becoming a ‘tribulation spirit.’ After enduring the nine heavenly tribulations, it can reincarnate as a human and possess a strength that is hard to rival in the world!”

The Sword Spirit gritted its teeth, hissing, “But this is only limited to legends. First, it requires going through these numerous tribulations, which is akin to climbing to the heavens; second, the passage of time is enough to drive any undead creature mad. If it’s only a few thousand years, perhaps it can barely endure, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years without breaking through the Soul Suppressing Stone… then, regardless of how strong the spirit may be, it cannot persist.”

“In the human world, there have indeed been spiritual entities that emerged from Soul Suppressing Stones, but they are mostly devoid of reason, extremely vicious, causing chaos in the world, and their ultimate fate is to be killed or eliminated by powerful experts; there has never been an exception of a tribulation spirit reincarnating into a human! Not a single one.”

Chu Yang slowly nodded, frowning in deep thought.

“Places with Soul Suppressing Stones are generally located on the surface, but there should be something covering them, so they shouldn't be easily visible… How did you find it before?” the Sword Spirit asked curiously.

How did he find it?

Upon hearing this question, Chu Yang felt a bit embarrassed, saying, “I just walked here and then discovered my mental consciousness was restricted and couldn’t continue spreading. Searching didn’t work, so I thought I’d take a break and then saw that it was quite stable, so I just sat down…”
