Chapter 176: Netherworld

After unleashing a barrage of attacks, Qi Ming was flung onto the ground again.

Qi Ming was utterly stunned. His nose was bloody and his face was swollen from the beating. I had shared everything I knew, so why am I still being beat up? Why does this Ghost Emperor before me not have elite cultivation at all?

“Trust me, I’ll beat you to death if you spout any more nonsense!” Frozen clenched his fist, his angry face showing no signs of assuaging.

Qi Ming thought silently. Frozen might as well just kill me, what a bully.

Gazing at Qi Ming, who looked completely despondent, Frozen contemplated for some time before asking again.

“Then, do you know these two people?”

As he spoke, Frozen waved his hand and sprinkled glittering ice crystals in front of him, as the images of Murphy and Little Pomelo appeared.

Qi Ming replied curtly, “Yes.”

“I can let you go, as long as you promise me one thing,” Frozen smiled suddenly.

“Say it!”

After being beaten up, Qi Ming had no intention of helping him at all. However, he wanted to see what Frozen, who did not have elite cultivation, had in mind.

“Help me find and kill them,” Frozen became greatly infuriated when he thought about the two people who caused him to nearly break his legs.

“Forget it, I can’t beat them in a fight!” said Qi Ming truthfully.

After watching the battle between them and Ao Jian, Qi Ming knew his limitations. Aside from self-destructing, he really had no way to fight against the phantom-skilled Dark Shadow Twins currently.

“You can’t beat them?”

After hearing this, Frozen was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to mull it over.

“How about this, I’ll give you the ability to defeat them, and you’ll help me exact revenge. What do you think?” Frozen suggested after pondering about it.

“What can you give me?” Qi Ming had a sudden thought.

It was definitely impossible for him to help Frozen kill someone. Although he was devoted to enlightenment and eager to cultivate immortal inheritance, Murphy and Little Pomelo had hinted to him where the inheritance was. So naturally, he would not help Frozen kill them.

However, he extremely despised Frozen now, so he would be happy to swindle some benefits from him.

“What are you devoted to?” Frozen asked, looking at Qi Ming.

“The Ghost Sect!”

“Let me check,” Frozen nodded after he heard the answer. Then, he waved his hand and a small black dot appeared, hovering in mid-air. It expanded continuously as it spun around, causing its diameter to increase to over two feet in the blink of an eye.

Then, Frozen extended his hand into the black vortex and started to grasp around.

“Don’t worry, my Ice Snow Clan treasury has everything. Naturally, I can find the inheritance of the Ghost Sect for you as well.”

Qi Ming nodded in surprise, but a thought suddenly emerged in his heart.

Does this count as rewarding me after a punishment?

After fumbling around for quite some time, Frozen took a black ball out of the vortex and threw it to Qi Ming.

“This is the one. Although it’s a broken inheritance, as long as you master any part of this broken inheritance, you can learn a large number of spells from the Ghost Sect. What do you think, are you interested in this deal?”

[Netherworld (Broken Inheritance Class)]: The life-long inheritance crystal of the 23 elders of the Netherworld Clan, contains a large number of Ghost Sect spells. Some skills need to be mastered by oneself.

Qi Ming read the analysis of this black ball with a horrified look on his face. Of course, he knew how terrifying the value of this ball was. However, Frozen, a person without elite cultivation, handed it to him so casually.

After thinking about it, Qi Ming chose to use it directly.

Suddenly, a game notification appeared.

[Applying this inheritance will override the original inherited character class, do you wish to continue?]

“Apply!”

[Server Announcement, congratulations to player Qi Ming who has successfully advanced to the inherited character class called Netherworld!]

While all the players were in an uproar, Qi Ming’s body began to digitize.

Feeling the spiritual power of the Ghost Sect flowing through his body, Qi Ming’s heart began to swell with excitement.

He knew that this was the Ghost Sect’s power that he had been pursuing throughout his entire life. He had lived in seclusion on the snow-capped mountaintops and worked hard for a hundred years for this, yet he had never obtained it.

However, he did not expect to obtain it so easily in the game world. Undoubtedly, Qi Ming felt extremely touched and excited.

On the other hand, Frozen’s eyes widened when he found out that Qi Ming’s aura had changed.

“You… you have mastered the power of the Netherworld Ghost Sect?” Frozen asked in disbelief.

The Netherworld Inheritance Pearl was obtained after he had beheaded and killed all the elders of the Netherworld Clan hundreds of thousands of years ago.

At the time, Frozen had secretly pilfered some Ghost Sect spells from it. However, he discarded them in the Ice Snow Clan treasury because they were incompatible with his ability. After all, this was also an extremely high-level inheritance.

However, the person before him had only just obtained the inheritance, yet he had already mastered its arc and completely transformed the energy system flowing in his body. It was simply too incredible for Frozen to believe.

He’s a genius. He’s simply a peerless genius. I have never seen the existence of such a terrifying genius in my life.

Frozen was completely unaware of the artifact’s existence, so all of this seemed like a miracle to him. He was thoroughly flabbergasted by Qi Ming’s talent.

“Thank you so much!” Qi Ming’s eyes flashed with excitement, as he stood up and saluted Frozen.

Qi Ming was not overly impressed when he heard Frozen shower him with compliments, claiming that he was a genius.

In the dharma-ending age, anyone who could cultivate was a genius, and he was the crème de la crème of them all. Hence, Qi Ming casually accepted it even though he was slightly embarrassed by Frozen’s praise.

“Ahem… ahem… boy, your talent is quite exceptional. What do you think, are you interested in joining our Ice Snow Clan and becoming one of us?”
