"Thirteenth Uncle, what's that?" Chu Pingfan asked curiously.
The Fengdu Ghost King looked very terrifying and gave off a sinister feeling.
"It's a ghost, a special existence."
Chu Xuan looked at Chu Pingfan, who had already grown into a youth, and said.
"Ghost?"
Chu Pingfan was extremely surprised.
Chu Xuan briefly described the unique points of a ghost.
Chu Pingfan was shocked after hearing it. He asked, "Are ghosts so powerful? And they can possess people too?"
"It's just that their abilities are quite special, but their flaws are very obvious. Once there's a method to specifically target ghosts, even if one isn't strong, they can still deal with ghosts that are stronger than them."
Chu Xuan shook his head and said.
"Your Extreme Dao is very powerful. You won't be disadvantaged when fighting ghosts."
In fact, as long as one cultivated the Hundred-tempering Divine technique and the Immovable Mountain technique, which were powerful divine soul secret techniques, the abilities of the ghost race would be rather ineffective against them.
Even so, the ghost race was still extremely powerful.
Chu Pingfan nodded and went back to the universe space to continue cultivating.
He wanted to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible.
Chu Xuan had been paying attention to the progress of the remaining members of the Netherworld race. After the Grand Elder, many powerful members of the Netherworld race turned into ghosts one after another.
The first to complete the transformation were the stronger members of the Netherworld race.
The Grand Elder had been a half-step Divine realm expert before transformation. The second to turn into a ghost was the clan leader of the Netherworld race clan, who was at the third level of the Heaven realm.
Among this group of Netherworld race members, a young girl caught Chu Xuan's attention.
She was only at the ninth level of the truth realm, but after transforming into a ghost, she directly broke through to the Emperor realm.
The speed at which she turned into a ghost was faster than the other Supreme realm and Emperor realm Netherworld race experts.
This meant that she had a special talent for the Ancient Netherworld Scripture.
Chu Xuan moved her out.
Among this group of Netherworld race members, her talent was the strongest, so she could be nurtured.
"Greetings, Ghost Ancestor!"
The young girl bowed with an extremely respectful expression.
Chu Xuan looked at her. She had a pretty face, and her weak appearance made people feel pity for her.
She was an extremely pretty female ghost.
"From now on, you shall be called You'er."
"Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing me a name."
You'er kowtowed respectfully.
Chu Xuan pointed with his finger and passed on more techniques from the Ancient Netherworld Scripture to her.
He then refined a few ghost artifacts and gave them to her.
"Thank you, Ancestor!" You'er said happily.
"Get up and cultivate well."
"Yes."
You'er did not enter the pocket dimension. Instead, she floated over and entered the universe space.
After circling around Chu Pingfan, she suddenly pounced on him and used the ghost's possession ability.
Chu Pingfan only felt a chill all over his body. He was going to lose control of his body at any moment. He let out a low shout and a powerful aura erupted from his body.
The saber aura within his body was piercingly cold, and his entire body was as domineering as a saber. The wooden saber that had been stuck to his back all this time also emitted a strange aura.
Pu!
You'er was forced out of Chu Pingfan's body in a daze.
She was stunned. This was the first time she had used the ghost possession technique, and it was even against someone whose cultivation level was lower than hers. She had actually failed?
Chu Pingfan was already swinging his saber at her.
Shua!
You'er's figure turned into illusory and disappeared.
However, his sharp attack was imbued with a special kind of sharpness. It was extremely powerful. Even though she had turned illusory, she still received a strong impact.
"Little ghost girl, you're too impudent!" Chu Pingfan said angrily.
"Are you angry? I was just playing with you. I'm not trying to hurt you!"
You'er appeared and stuck out her tongue at Chu Pingfan.
"Hmph, stay away from me. Don't disturb my cultivation."
Chu Pingfan snorted and turned his back to ignore her.
Chu Xuan paid full attention to what was going on, but did not say anything to stop her. Chu Pingfan was too lonely. It was a good thing if he had You'er, this lively female ghost, to play with him.
As for the difference between humans and ghosts, such a trivial thing did not matter to Chu Xuan at all.
One month later.
All of the members of the Netherworld race had turned into ghosts.
They were gloomy and cold. After turning into ghosts, their strength increased.
The Fengdu Ghost King summoned the ghosts to the Fengdu Secret Realm immediately, and the newly-minted ghosts cultivated there, except for You'er.
"You have created a new race in the nine zones, the ghost race. You have been rewarded with the Yin Dao principle."
The system's reward arrived.
It was the Yin Dao principle!
Turning the Netherworld race into the ghosts was indeed a wise decision. Chu Xuan praised his own cleverness.
He received the reward.
A mysterious, seemingly invisible, but also dark, Yin Dao principle appeared around his body.
Chu Xuan entered a state of comprehension and carefully comprehended the Yin Dao principle.
He discovered that the Yin Dao principle the system had rewarded him with was rather peculiar. Apart from the Yin of Yin and Yang, it also contained sinister Dao intent?
"Why do I feel that, after mastering this Dao principle, I'll become really good at deceiving people?" Chu Xuan muttered in his heart.
Of his Dao principles, one was stable while the other was Yin. They could cooperate with each other.
On the surface, he would be as steady as a mountain, but behind the scenes, he would be secretly deceiving people...
If he comprehended and cultivated both Dao principles at the same time, his cultivation foundation would be improved again.
Chu Xuan did not know how many Dao principles the other Dao realm experts had comprehended, but two Dao principles was definitely not much.
The ghost race had just been born, so they were still too weak.
Their numbers were also too few.
Chu Xuan asked the Fengdu Ghost King to ensure that the ghost race cultivated diligently and increased their strength.
Later on, the goal would be to strengthen the ghost race.
The opening of the Asura Ancient Land was a turning point.
The Great War back then had killed countless experts.
In the Asura Ancient Land, there would be some muddle-headed remnant souls, or even the divine souls possessed by killing intent.
Whether these remnant souls could be transformed into members of the ghost race or be directly devoured, they would serve to quickly increase the overall strength of the ghost race.
Every day, countless cultivators died in the nine zones. Many cultivators had their bodies destroyed, and only escaped with their divine souls.
It was not easy to recover their bodies.
There was a certain risk in using the possession technique. If the target was not talented, it would limit the ghost's own potential.
The appearance of the ghost race would give cultivators who had their bodies destroyed, but still had their divine souls, a new choice.
Many years later, when the cultivators of the nine zones were hunted down and killed, they would shout this sentence.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Then, if their divine soul was lucky enough to escape, it would turn into a fierce ghost and come back to take revenge..
Chu Xuan looked forward to this scene. He looked forward to the growth of the ghost race.
The infiltration of the Netherworld race was just a small incident. It did not affect the Chu family at all.
No one in the Chu family knew that they were almost replaced by the Netherworld race.
After transforming the Netherworld race into ghosts, Chu Xuan continued to cultivate while looking forward to the 15-year milestone reward.
Chu Xuan continued to cultivate and accumulate his cultivation foundation while waiting for the 15-year milestone to arrive.
He was also looking forward to the reward he would receive when Chu Pingfan broke through to the Emperor realm.
Time flew by, and the 15-year milestone arrived.
Chu Xuan sighed. Time flew by really fast. In the blink of an eye, fifteen years had gone by.
After cultivating for fifteen years, he had cultivated from the mortal realm to the sixth level of the Divine realm. This kind of cultivation speed was enough to make everyone die of envy.
Therefore, it was good to stay at home and steadily become stronger.
