Chapter 184: Turning The Netherworld Race Into A Ghost Race, Ancient Netherworld Scripture
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the small courtyard, a group of Netherworld race members stood trembling behind the Grand Elder.
Their faces were filled with confusion and despair.
Did the Grand Elder not say that this trip was almost certainly safe?
Their target was just the small Chu family.
Why had something gone wrong?
!!
Even the Grand Elder had been captured.
‘It’s over, our Netherworld race clan is going to die!’
The Grand Elder’s lips trembled, and his body shook. His originally illusory body trembled as if it was about to disperse.
Chu Xuan looked at the one hundred or so members of this Netherworld race clan.
Heaven’s Secrets Origin probing technique:
“The Netherworld race has existed for a very long time. After being defeated in the great calamity, they were barely able to survive… the Grand Elder of the Netherworld race, a half-step Divine realm expert, wanted to possess the members of the Chu family and, through them. seize the fate treasure, while waiting for the opportunity to rise up again…”
Chu Xuan was astonished. Was this the Netherworld race?
They looked similar to humans. The only difference was that their illusory bodies looked like ghosts from the stories and legends of his previous life.
Was he fated to encounter the Netherworld race?
The Dao-seeking Mirror had found You Su and pulled her into the Great Dao Communication Group. Now, the Grand Elder of the Netherworld race had brought his clansmen over to the Chu family.
On a separate note, the Chu family was really popular…
Why did all of them like to seek out the Chu family?
Looking at the trembling members of the Netherworld race, Chu Xuan suddenly had a bold idea.
There were no ghosts in the nine zones. He could create a ghost race!
He could turn the Netherworld race into a ghost race and create a new race to add some variety to the nine zones.
The innate ability of the Netherworld race was to possess others?
Chu Xuan was moved.
However, it was not easy to turn the Netherworld race into a ghost race. Although the Netherworld race did have some ghost-like traits, they were not ghosts in reality.
He had to create a cultivation technique that would allow the Netherworld race to cultivate and then transform into ghosts.
It was just like turning a demon into a Buddhist.
“You are calm, thoughtful and open-minded. You want to turn the Netherworld race into a ghost race. You have been rewarded with the Ancient Netherworld Scripture.”
The system’s reward suddenly arrived.
Chu Xuan was overjoyed. The system’s reward had been triggered?
He hurriedly examined the reward.
“The Ancient Netherworld Scripture is the Holy Scripture of ghosts. If a soul cultivates this technique, it can turn into a ghost. If the Netherworld race cultivates this technique, they will quickly transform into a ghost race…”
After reading the description of the Ancient Netherworld Scripture, Chu Xuan was amazed by this bizarre and powerful cultivation technique.
If a normal person cultivated this technique, their physical body would gradually rot and, eventually, their soul would transform into a ghost-like existence.
If one’s physical body was destroyed, and only their soul was left, they would be able to transform into a ghost and gain the powerful abilities of a ghost.
Ghosts were sinister and terrifying. They were special existences.
If ghosts appeared in the nine zones, many cultivators would be terrified and find them hard to deal with for quite some time.
There were only a hundred or so members of the Netherworld race in front of him right now. It was not difficult to turn them all into ghosts.
Once they succeeded in becoming ghosts, he would have a ghost race under his command.
Chu Xuan received the Ancient Netherworld Scripture, and the system instilled the technique into his mind. Chu Xuan very soon mastered the Ancient Netherworld Scripture, in which were recorded many skills of the ghost race.
Ghostly possession was just a very common and ordinary technique.
For example, some skills like ghosts pa.s.sing through walls were also recorded.
The ghost race did have its flaws, but since the ghost race would be new and unfamiliar to the cultivators of the nine zones, they would not be able to discover any flaws to deal with the ghost race easily within a short period of time.
It was inevitable that the emergence of the ghost race would cause a certain degree of panic.
Cultivating the Ancient Netherworld Scripture would cause the body to gradually decay. That was a problem for ordinary cultivators, but not for Chu Xuan.
His Indestructible Chaos Physique could completely counteract that negative aspect of the Ancient Netherworld Scripture’s cultivation.
His divine soul would not turn into a gloomy ghostly state, but he could still use the power of the Ancient Netherworld Scripture.
Chu Xuan muttered in his heart, “From now on, not only am I Buddha, but also the freaking ancestor of the ghosts.”
Looking at the members of the Netherworld race, Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Using force to turn the members of the Netherworld race into a ghost race was not the right way to show how powerful he was.
What Chu Xuan needed was for the Netherworld race to willingly turn into a ghost race.
If they were unwilling, he would throw them into the World-purifying Glazed PaG.o.da and let them be illuminated by Buddhist light for a period of time. After suffering a great deal of damage, they would most likely change their minds.
If they were still unwilling, he would plant soul seals on them!
Chu Xuan had plenty of ways to turn the Netherworld race into a ghost race. He also had plenty of ways to make them loyal to him.
As long as he cultivated the Ancient Netherworld Scripture, he would be their ghost ancestor and they would never betray or disobey him.
The Grand Elder’s heart trembled, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
It seemed like the Netherworld race was about to disappear from this world.
“Almighty human expert, we were just pa.s.sing by.”
The Grand Elder wanted to quibble.
Chu Xuan said with a smile, “Don’t panic. I have no ill intentions.”
No ill intentions… yeah right!
The Grand Elder sensed malice in his smile, and the feeling that the Netherworld race was about to face a great disaster grew stronger.
“The Netherworld race…”
Chu Xuan sighed and continued, “The Netherworld race has no future. No matter how you plot and use all sorts of methods, in the end, you will not be able to create a future in the Great Dao.”
As expected!
The Grand Elder’s face turned ashen. This expert was going to exterminate the Netherworld race.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Almighty human expert, our Netherworld race has experts too. If you really want to exterminate our Netherworld race, aren’t you afraid that our Netherworld race experts will slaughter the human race, disregarding all costs?”
At this point, he could only put up a tough front.
Chu Xuan shook his head and smiled lightly. “I don’t want to exterminate your Netherworld race.”
He then added, “Also, I know that ancestor of your Netherworld race, who also calls me senior.”
The expression of the Netherworld race Grand Elder changed again and again.
“Senior, if you want to blame me, then just kill me. Let the rest of my clan members go, and let the Netherworld race live.”
He was terrified.
Even the ancestor of the Netherworld race had to call him senior. How could he be stubborn about it then?
“I’ve already said that I don’t intend to exterminate your Netherworld race. On the contrary, I want to give your Netherworld race a chance at survival.”
Chu Xuan sighed.
The Grand Elder had a look of suspicion on his face. Why would a human expert be so kind-hearted?
“The Netherworld race wants to seize great fortune and rise to power. However, to do so they must discard the name of the Netherworld race and transform into the ghost race. Are you willing?”
“Just changing our name?”
The Grand Elder asked carefully.
It would not be a problem if it was just a name change.
Although they would not be called the Netherworld race anymore, his roots were still of the Netherworld race.
“Transforming the Netherworld race into a ghost race will allow you to obtain great fortune. The ghost race is stronger than the Netherworld race. This is the opportunity for your Netherworld race to rise up.”
Chu Xuan said as he pointed with his finger and transmitted theinformation about the ghost race into the Grand Elder’s soul.
The Grand Elder’s cold aura instantly filled the air.
After a long while, he finally came back to his senses.
His face was full of shock.
This was the ghost race?
It had some of the characteristics of the Netherworld race, but was much stronger than the Netherworld race and had more abilities.
If things were really as described in the information transmission, how strong would the ghost race be?
However, although the ghost race was different from the Netherworld race, there were a good number of similarities.
If their Netherworld race clan was transformed into the ghost race, their branch of the Netherworld race would be gone.
However, it would not disappear completely. The fate of the Netherworld race would live on through the ghost race.
The Grand Elder was moved.
After all, as the Grand Elder of the Netherworld race, he could not give up his sense of belonging to the Netherworld race.
They would transform into the ghost race. Even though they were no longer physically part of the Netherworld race, henceforth, they would still carry on the fate of the Netherworld race.
However, from this day on, the name of their Netherworld race clan would really disappear.
It would be replaced by the ghost race!
