266 The Ancestor of the Ghost Cultivation Technique
Grandmaster Meng immediately knew that Fang Jinyu had a unique way of contacting Qing Fu. It wasn’t surprising. Otherwise, why would Qing Fu suddenly appear?
However, Grandmaster Meng looked at Fang Jinyu in shock.
After a moment, Grandmaster Meng decided to ask, “Junior brother, I heard her call you Mother just now?”
Fang Jinyu’s expression froze.
Hence, Fang Jinyu quickly explained that he had once rejected Qing Fu, but in the end, he had no choice but to let the little girl call him whatever she wanted.
After listening to Fang Jinyu’s explanation, Grandmaster Meng began to ponder.
After a while, Grandmaster Meng said, “Junior brother, she must have a reason for calling you her mother.”
Grandmaster Meng didn’t continue.
It was because he didn’t dare.
Why would an Immortal Ascension stage Almighty call someone her “mother” for no reason? Although the Immortal Ascension stage Almighty seemed a little silly and adorable, her Immortal Ascension stage nature wouldn’t change at all.
“What’s the reason?” At this moment, Fang Jinyu thought carefully about this question. He suddenly remembered the scene when he first met the little girl. Since then, the little girl has been calling him her “mother.” Could it be because he asked her, “Are you blind?”
At the thought of this, the corners of Fang Jinyu’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
The little girl was narrow-minded. She remembered such a small thing for so long!
As expected, no matter how old or young a woman was, she would always bear grudges.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu looked at the Yin energy that filled the sky and suddenly had an idea. He said, “Senior brother, the Nine Desolations are about to change. Why don’t we deduce a few ghost cultivation techniques?”
“Deducing ghost cultivation techniques? Junior brother, why?” Grandmaster Meng didn’t understand, but he didn’t refuse.
“Senior brother, with this Yin energy, there will be ghosts and monsters. Ghosts are out of order. Even if they can’t threaten the immortal sects, it won’t be a good thing. Moreover, if there were cultivators with ulterior motives who wanted to turn into ghosts because their lifespan was over, it would undoubtedly cause chaos.”
Fang Jinyu expressed his opinion and continued, “So, in that case, why don’t we deduce a few cultivation techniques that can allow ghosts to cultivate, break through the Foundation Establishment stage, and even break through the Core Formation stage as long as they cultivate without causing chaos! However, to prevent ghosts from using these cultivation techniques to kill innocent people, the cultivation techniques derived must pay attention to the cultivation of the state of mind.”
Not only did the cultivators of the Nine Desolations ignore the cultivation of the state of mind, but the cultivators of the Cave Lake Realm of the upper realm also didn’t care much about it.
The Buddhist cultivation method in the original “Buddhist Realm” placed great importance on the cultivation of the mental state. However, it seemed to have gone to a dead end. Not only was it extremely domineering, but it also had some demonic characteristics.
“You don’t need to be merciful, but you can’t easily take someone’s life. And once one went against their state of mind, they would immediately go into qi deviation.” Fang Jinyu also raised restrictions on the ghost cultivation technique.
Grandmaster Meng nodded repeatedly when he heard this. It gave him another reason to hide from Nangong Li!
His childhood sweetheart’s daughter was so annoying!
However, once Fang Jinyu returned, he asked An Ruyin to give Nangong Li some advice. No one knew what the gourd had said, but when Nangong Li came out, her face was flushed, but her beautiful eyes were visibly restless.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu hurriedly started his closed-door cultivation to deduce the cultivation technique.
It was to prevent Grandmaster Meng from coming to find him.
As expected, Grandmaster Meng did come to Mount Xiaohe. However, after learning from the cat-eared puppet that Fang Jinyu had started his closed-door cultivation, he could only wave his sleeves and leave.
Although An Ruyin was the one who taught Nangong Li, without Fang Jinyu’s order, would An Ruyin suddenly do that?
Half a year later, Fang Jinyu was the first to end his closed-door seclusion.
With his gains obtained from the system, it was too easy for Fang Jinyu to comprehend the Yin energy and deduce cultivation techniques.
After another half a year, strange stone monuments filled with ghost cultivation techniques were transported out by the disciples of the Tianling Sect. They began to land in places with denser Yin energy.
The stone monument was extremely st.u.r.dy, but it wasn’t a spirit tool or a talisman. It was because the materials used were refined by Fang Jinyu using several types of spirit soil.
The reason Fang Jinyu did it was to prevent people from damaging the stone monument.
In addition, the stone monuments weighed more than 10,000 pounds. Even if a Qi Condensation stage cultivator wanted to carry them, it wouldn’t be easy. It was to prevent some people with ill intentions from sealing the stone monuments.
If someone with natural strength hid them, the Yin energy absorption ability contained in the stone monuments would start to attract the obsession of ghosts and monsters.
At that time, the place where the stone monument was hidden would become a special ghost cave!
Fang Jinyu had not only created a few suitable ghost cultivation techniques, but he had also done his best to consider the needs of those ghosts. As long as they were ghosts, they would have a chance to cultivate normally. However, it would be another story of whether they could grasp the chance.
…
It was Jade Spirit Immortal City.
There was an immortal sect here called the Yuling Sect.
Naturally, the immortal city was also the property of the Yuling Sect.
However, the Yuling Sect wasn’t a great immortal sect. Especially after the incident of obeying the desolate forbidden land, the Yuling Sect suffered great losses. Therefore, the Yuling Sect’s corruption was getting worse by the day.
In the end, even mortals would have to pay a “spirit stone tax” to the Yuling Sect to obtain the opportunity to live in the Jade Spirit Immortal City.
Of course, since it was too difficult for mortals to obtain spirit stones, one spirit stone was equivalent to three years of “spirit stone tax” for mortals in Jade Spirit Immortal City.
But even so, there were too many mortals who couldn’t afford to pay the “spirit stone tax.”
Thus, these mortals were chased out of Jade Spirit Immortal City.
Outside the Jade Spirit Immortal City, it could be said that danger was everywhere, especially with the acc.u.mulation of Yin energy. There were already some “Yin energy auras” that didn’t affect immortal cultivators but were harmful to mortals.
If one breathed this kind of “Yin energy” for a long time, those with strong bodies would be fine, but the old and weak would fall seriously ill.
Originally, even if they wanted to collect the so-called “spirit stone tax,” those cultivators wouldn’t be so ruthless. However, the person in charge of this matter was an illegitimate son of the Yuling Sect Leader.
The illegitimate child wasn’t raised by the sect leader when he was young and had suffered a lot. His mentality had long been distorted. Therefore, after the Yuling Sect Leader found him, he immediately became arrogant and domineering.
The things he did were often extremely extreme.
For example, at this moment, the illegitimate child was annoyed by the cries of the mortals. He also saw an old man who had taken him in for a while and mixed in with the crowd to criticize him. He hated them so much that he decided to go all out. Therefore, he ordered ruthlessly, “Kill all these mortals!”
However, the Yuling Sect’s cultivators didn’t do as they were told.
It made the illegitimate child extremely angry. He thought that he had been humiliated and shouted, “Are you looking down on me, the son of the sect leader? What did my father say before? He told all of you to listen to me. If you don’t listen, then all of you will be expelled from the Yuling Sect!”
However, those cultivators looked at each other and didn’t make a move.
They couldn’t bear to attack mortals.
Moreover, did they need to listen to the threat of an illegitimate child? Did he think that they had no relationship in the sect? They were able to become disciples of the Yuling Sect because they had connections with the sect’s Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
However, when a few rogue cultivators saw this, they made their move.
When they attacked, they didn’t forget to shout, “We will follow the young master’s orders!”
With the rogue cultivators taking action, blood flowed everywhere in an instant. Thousands of mortals were killed on the spot. It wasn’t that no cultivator stopped them but they were stopped by the illegitimate child.
The illegitimate son told the rogue cultivators, “Good! The few of you, follow me from now on!” After this incident, he realized that he could either train a few of his men.
“Thank you, Young Master!”
The rogue cultivators were overjoyed. They were already late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, but they didn’t have enough spirit stones to take the stargazing flying ship and leave. As for rogue cultivators like them who had achieved success in their cultivation, the immortal sects also refused to accept them.
Therefore, they came up with this idea.
The illegitimate son said loudly, “Deal with these corpses and tell those lowlifes that this is what happens if they don’t pay the spirit stone tax!”
The few rogue cultivators immediately agreed.
However, how could those who were opportunists do things sincerely? They just threw the corpse outside the city and buried it hastily.
Coincidentally, there was a stele that had been simply disguised at the place where the corpse was buried. The Yin energy quickly gathered there. As a result, after the night was over, the Yin energy-fed strands of resentment gathered into an illusory ghost body.
Resentment and obsession could all be fundamental to forming ghosts.
However, even if they formed ghosts and monsters, these ghosts and monsters couldn’t achieve anything because their strength wasn’t even at rank 1 in the Qi Condensation stage.
However, many corpses were being thrown here!
As for the mortals of Jade Spirit Immortal City, they were constantly being ma.s.sacred. Sometimes, the corpses of immortal cultivators were mixed in and buried here.
This involved a dispute between cultivators, but the source was still the illegitimate son of the sect master of the Jade Spirit Immortal Sect.
To make others listen to him, the illegitimate son recruited a large number of people with ulterior motives and kept eliminating dissidents. Coincidentally, to keep the position of the sect leader, the Yuling Sect Leader secretly supported his illegitimate child’s actions, which made the entire Jade Spirit Immortal City even fouler.
Therefore, with all these coincidences, the ghost disaster in the Nine Desolations cultivation world began to erupt.
The Jade Spirit Immortal Sect wasn’t a great immortal sect. Although the sect had a Core Formation stage cultivator, they relied on the human-skinned Incarnation stage lord cultivator Wanming back then. Therefore, when they went to meet Wanming, they were killed by Fang Jinyu.
Therefore, when the ghost disaster erupted, the Yuling Sect, which only had a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators fighting for power, couldn’t suppress the ghost disasters.
Those ghosts had been hiding until a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators ghosts appeared before they began to take revenge on the Yuling Sect.
“Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its owner!”
“Those who have nothing to do with the son of the Yuling Sect Leader, quickly retreat!”
The ghostly voice was howling mournfully.
…
Half a month later, the news of the ghost disaster spread throughout the Nine Desolations, but everyone who heard the news felt strange.
It was because only two cultivators had died in the ghost disaster.
The Tianling Sect Leader and his illegitimate son.
