Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 234 151. Be a ghost at sunrise and a human at sunset

As Old Water Marsh Mountain Thunder Jiao had said, various ancient texts had recorded it in the same way, stating that once the Nine-Orifice Martial Demon was summoned, it would lead to the arrival of even more Nine-Orifice Martial Demons.

But if that were the case, where were the Nine-Orifice Martial Demons now?

In the past, people had summoned this anomaly, so why hadn't the Jiawu Realm yet been swarmed by the Nine-Orifice Martial Demons?

Therefore, after some careful thought, Tan Shuchang concluded that if there was no mistake in those ancient records and the inherited assertions, then it wasn't that the Nine-Orifice Martial Demons didn't exist, but rather that they had long existed in the Jiawu Realm, only it was very likely a different type of Nine-Orifice Martial Demon.

A type of Nine-Orifice Martial Demon that did not conform to the understanding of cultivators in the Jiawu Realm!

The authority of the Snake Desire Realm triggered the Greed Principle, coming from the power of the principle, which caused Tan Shuchang to suddenly return to the bizarre game world.

Upon his arrival, Tan Shuchang was immediately informed of a startling piece of news by the Death-speaking Yin God Scholar.

"My lord, I was once again summoned to battle by the bizarre game, fortunately, this time thanks to the Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi bestowed by my lord, I achieved no small victory. Furthermore, I discovered something—that the beings there are ghosts during the day and turn into humans at night."

The Death-speaking Yin God Scholar said excitedly, as he came to report his achievements and praise the effectiveness of the Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi, which had exceeded his expectations. Beings of his level, if they did not manifest the Yin God Space, could not even withstand a single Sword Qi.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ghosts during the day, and then they become living humans at night?

Seizing this key piece of information, Tan Shuchang's expression inevitably became somewhat strange.

Could it be that the region he had arrived in this time in this bizarre game world was the hidden Ghost Capital named "Zhige"?

After all, the residents of that Ghost Capital "Zhige" indeed exhibited this particular trait.

Then, Tan Shuchang inquired further.

"My lord, some of the beings there are aware of this, as they retain their ghostly identity through the night. However, many are unaware, and there are even quite a few who are afraid of ghosts..." The Death-speaking Yin God Scholar was, of course, completely candid and exhaustive in his reporting.

Listening to this description, Tan Shuchang's initial speculation, which had only been thirty to forty percent certain, suddenly jumped to seventy to eighty percent certainty.

After all, the similarity was increasing.

The bizarre game... inviting ghosts?

Tan Shuchang pondered this matter seriously and then realized there seemed to be no issue, after all, no one had stipulated that the bizarre game could only invite living people to become players.

"Since they are constantly nourished by the blood of the living, the ghosts have the ability to manifest during the day. At night, to allow the humans to replenish what is needed for life and to keep their blood strong, the ghosts will contract, giving the humans free time."

The Calamity Witnessing King, who had a relatively good relationship with Tan Shuchang, expressed his views upon hearing this.

And upon hearing the Calamity Witnessing King say this, the Greedy Venerable King also voiced his opinion, but differed in one aspect: "I agree that people are born with a ghost inside them in that realm. However, I do not agree with the view that ghosts dominate. I believe that humans and ghosts have equal status there. The difference lies in some knowing about each other and some not."

Tan Shuchang nodded slightly, as he was neither argumentative nor seeking to learn, so he directly asked, "Then how should I proceed to that realm?"

Although he wanted to use that realm to comprehend the "Twenty-Four Seasons", if the hidden risks were too great, Tan Shuchang would have to give up.

"It would be more appropriate for an incarnation governed by laws to go there, but you shouldn't stay long. Lan Shou King, you might look within the Snake Desire Realm; if there is power from the Ghost Heavenly Way that creates paper, you could try to comprehend the power of creation from it.

If this method works, then you could fold paper to create an avatar to visit in your place," said the Greedy Venerable King.

Upon hearing this, the Calamity Witnessing King nodded alongside; this method indeed was the safest. Moreover, it could also help the Lan Shou King delay the greedy demands of the Laws of Greed.

"Thank you, both of you!"

Tan Shuchang expressed his gratitude and immediately returned to the Snake Desire Realm.

The power of the Ghost Heavenly Way that generates paper wasn't hard to find, as near such power were all kinds of irregular papers.

White papers, yellow papers, various kinds, fluttering about.

Even for a body of the Yin God, there was a risk of being turned into paper upon getting close.

Creation, in this context, meant paper.

Tan Shuchang knew he was not particularly insightful, so he asked the Death-speaking Yin God to summon a fierce ghost that worshipped the paper-creating power of the Ghost Heavenly Way to enhance this type of Ghost Heavenly Way power.

Finally, the power of the Ghost Heavenly Way that creates paper began to change, no longer scattered and unowned, but condensed into a mass of black light.

Suddenly, a paper hand extended from the black light.

Then, a slightly delicate paper figure slowly emerged from it.

This paper figure was in the form of a monk who, upon stepping out, pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist invocation: "Namo Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk comes from the Treasure Mountain Heaven Earth Temple! I request permission from the Laws of Greed to preach and teach here!"

The term "Prime Minister" here referred to Tan Shuchang, the Lan Shou King.

This was the terminology used by the Ghost Heavenly Way for the Three Kings, or rather, this was truly the "official title" of the Three Kings.
