The atmosphere became very awkward. Zhan Wuya hesitated about whether to continue pretending to be asleep or pretend that he had just woken up.


    Before he could figure it out, he suddenly heard Sheng Xiao say, "We''re almost there."


    Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang looked up and saw a dazzling beam of light at the end of the beautiful crack space. When his gaze met that beam of light, his eyes suddenly ached.


    Ye Qingyang closed his eyes.


    After Zhan Wuya flipped over andid on the dragon''s back to look ahead, he saw the dragon, Eternal, suddenly charge towards the beam of light. That feeling was as if they were about to perish with a destructive cannonball. Even Zhan Wuya was so frightened that he held his breath.


    He suddenly closed his eyes and used the greatest strength he ever used in his life to grab the beard on the dragon''s neck.


    Boom—


    They rushed out of the spatial rift.


    Sheng Xiao stood up and said, "We''re here."


    Zhan Wuya and Ye Qingyang came back to their senses and hesitated for a moment before standing up at the same time. Standing on the dragon''s head, they saw a dark and eerie world. The clouds didn''t float in the sky. Instead, they were scattered in every corner of the air as mist.


    It was probably noon in this world.


    The sun shone in the sky, and the light passed through the fog, causing this world to appear orange-red. Crooked willow trees could be seen everywhere here. Most of the flowers and nts on the ground looked sinister, and most of the bouquets were pure ck or dark red.


    This was the first time Zhan Wuya had seen such a scene in his life. He frowned slightly and asked Ye Qingyang, "This ce is deste and filled with ghost energy. Could it be…"


    Ye Qingyang lowered his eyes and said, "It''s the Undead Continent."


    No one was allowed to enter the Undead Continent. Most existences here were phantoms.


    "So this is the Undead Continent…" Zhan Wuya was surprised.


    To cultivators, the Undead Continent was a scary ce. In their description, the Undead Continent was where the ferocious and cruel undead gathered. Not a single de of grass grew there, and the undead there survived by devouring the other undead…


    In fact, they had never even been to the Undead Continent, so how could they know its true appearance?


    In the end, it was all due to fear.


    Everyone was afraid of death. When they thought about how the Undead Continent was the home of the vengeful spirits after they died, how could they not be afraid?


    As if he knew what Zhan Wuya was thinking, Ye Qingyang sneered and said to Zhan Wuya mockingly, "The undead here like to eat powerful cultivators like you, who are righteous and good-looking. The more powerful one is, the more delicious one will taste."


    Ye Qingyang raised his eyebrows and asked Zhan Wuya, "Are you afraid?"


    Stunned, Zhan Wuya leaned towards Sheng Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Is what he said true?"


    Sheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at Ye Qingyang. Then, he held back hisughter and nodded seriously as he said, "Yes, I heard that the phantoms like gentlemen like you."


    Zhan Wuya was really frightened.


    "Let''s go down and take a look." Then, Sheng Xiao disappeared in front of Zhan Wuya. In the next second, he appeared on the Undead Continent below.


    Ye Qingyang also jumped down gracefully.


    As Zhan Wuya stared at the continent covered in fog below, he hesitated for a moment before flying down. After theynded, the ck Qing Dragon transformed into Eternal andnded beside Sheng Xiao.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Seeing that Eternal had been massaging his neck, Sheng Xiao looked at him with concern. "What happened to your neck?"


    Eternal nced at Zhan Wuya coldly and said angrily, "A few dragon whiskers were just scratched off by a coward."


    Upon hearing this, Zhan Wuya revealed an awkward expression. "Sorry, I was too nervous just now and hurt Mr. Eternal."


    Since Zhan Wuya apologized sincerely, Eternal didn''t hold a grudge against him. He looked up and asked Sheng Xiao, "Master, where are we going?"


    Ye Qingyang and Zhan Wuya looked at Sheng Xiao in confusion.


    "To the Central Pagoda."


    "Central Pagoda?" After Ye Qingyang closed his eyes and carefully sensed the direction, he pointed south. "The Central Pagoda is in the south."


    "Okay."


    Sheng Xiao turned around and walked in the direction Ye Qingyang pointed at, while Eternal followed beside Sheng Xiao obediently. Ye Qingyang stared at their backs for a moment before saying to Zhan Wuya, "Let''s go."


    As the group shuttled through the orange-red fog, the visibility wasn''t clear. As Zhan Wuya stared at the red spider lilies that were blooming everywhere and the ck flowers, he asked curiously, "What''s the name of this ck flower?"


    "Terpsichorean Flower."


    Zhan Wuya wasn''t familiar with this type of flower.


    At that moment, Sheng Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly said softly, "These Terpsichorean Flowers only grow where the phantoms gather. I''ve seen them in another world. These flowers emit poisonous gas when they don''t see light, so be careful."


    However, after their cultivation level broke through to the Prime Master Realm, the poisonous gas of the Terpsichorean Flower couldn''t hurt Zhan Wuya and Ye Qingyang at all.


    They continued forward for a few more kilometers in the fog. As if he had discovered some miracle, Zhan Wuya pointed at a certain ce in the depths of the fog and said, "What is that?"


    Ye Qingyang said, "That''s the Spirit Calming Tree."


    The Spirit Calming Tree was another blind spot in Zhan Wuya''s knowledge base.


    Soon, the four of them arrived under the Spirit Calming Tree.


    The Spirit Calming Tree was an iparably huge crooked willow tree. As the willow tree''s leaves swayed gently with the breeze, it was as if phantoms were whispering softly. As Zhan Wuya sized up the Spirit Calming Tree at a close distance, he realized that there were spiritual energy balls ced on the tree. They were all spiritual energy bodies.


    After Ye Qingyang suddenly reached out and grabbed a drooping willow leaf, a wave of ghost energy flowed into the willow branch through his fingers. The spiritual energy balls ced on the Spirit Calming Tree emitted light at the same time. Then, they actually transformed into their appearances when they were alive.


    Each spiritual energy ball represented a person.


    These people were all wearing the clothes they had died in. Some were in fine clothes, some were in suits, and some were in rags.


    Ye Qingyang told Zhan Wuya, "After beings die, most phantoms will enter the Reincarnation Path. If a person still has an obsession after death, that obsession will lead their undead to this world. If there are still living people in the world they live in who are paying their respects to them and missing them, the living people''s longing for them will turn into the power of prayer and protect their undead bodies."


    "The undead protected by the power of prayer can find their Spirit Calming Tree and obtain a safe haven. As for those spiritual bodies that have long been forgotten, without the protection of the power of prayer, they will be lonely souls floating in this world. Most of the lonely souls will be devoured by powerful evil spirits."


    After a pause, Ye Qingyang continued, "After I died, I became a lonely soul."


    In other words, after he died, no one thought about him.
