"Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture," Volume One, Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi.
Sword Qi must be transformed from rule-bound malicious ghosts into blood shadows, then thoroughly rid of the ghostly form, leaving only the rule of killing behind.
There are currently nine streaks.
Apart from the original four streaks, the other five streaks of Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi were transmuted from the remaining enforcers guarding the Ghost City; Tan Shuchang did not make it a habit to keep them as reserves.
And this second volume, is the Cross Calamity Body Image.
The "Body Image" is profound and mysterious; Tan Shuchang had already shown a part of it before, a slight intangible rise to the sky, revealing every movement within ten miles of the vicinity.
This is a detection method even more mysterious and powerful than planting the mark of the lotus to sense the surroundings.
As for another part of the "Body Image" power, it lies in the descent after this insubstantial rise, bringing an odd strength. This peculiar force greatly stimulates the unique aspects of Tan Shuchang, allowing him to temporarily manifest his "original form" without harming his fundamental vitality in the least.
For Tan Shuchang, this was no doubt an enhancement to his undying nature and his ability to contend with others.
"But if it wasn’t her, then who would be so bored as to steal my diary twice in a row?" Tan Shuchang frowned involuntarily after reviewing his two divine skills.
By the standard of the Cross Calamity Body Image he had deployed at the time, he had clearly perceived even the father of Qiu Junlin, the grandmaster from the mountain of orthodox strategy; there was no reason why that young girl could evade his detection.
Unless she had a spiritual artifact on her person!
However, as far as Tan Shuchang knew, she only had a communication magic artifact.
"It couldn’t possibly be that a spiritual artifact was so blind as to fancy the young lady out of fondness lately, right?" Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but scoff.
That was a treatment even the current Son of the Heavenly Mandate in the grand plan of the Orthodox Sword Mountain didn’t possess!
But soon, Tan Shuchang stopped thinking about it.
"The power of my Cross Calamity Body Image seems also to be related to the number of malicious ghosts I have refined..."
He wasn’t sure if it was due to the deepening of his cultivation or the number of malicious ghosts he had refined finally reaching some foundational threshold, but upon the fourth elevation of the malicious ghosts on the lotus, Tan Shuchang could distinctly feel that if he refined more malicious ghosts, or even Yin Gods, his undying bloody original form could grow even stronger.
"Too bad about General Huai, I wonder where I could find another like General Huai..." Tan Shuchang thought of the general and couldn’t help but sigh.
So he continued to explore the web page, and in a corner of the page, Tan Shuchang saw the small print that read "Enter for fierce ghosts."
Driven by curiosity, Tan Shuchang had a thought and decided to give it a try.
To his surprise, he got in at once.
Then, Tan Shuchang saw that the page listed various upgrade methods for murder rules. In addition, there were introductions to different types of ghosts.
Like Bridgehead Ghost, Paper Mister, Sophora Lady, and so on.
"Is this... the Azure-Tearing Ghost?" Suddenly, Tan Shuchang saw an introduction of a ghost he recognized.
For Tan Shuchang, this ghost was not unfamiliar, not because it had taken General Sophora away, but because when this ghost appeared, it vaguely gave him a sense of oppression that not even the annihilation of a land ruler had provided!
Tan Shuchang had been somewhat skeptical, but now, reading the introduction about the Azure-Tearing Ghost, he understood why.
If the murder rules of fierce ghosts were akin to the power of laws, then that Azure-Tearing Ghost represented the real power of laws.
The Azure-Tearing Ghost signified the Tearing Law of that bizarre game world.
Of course, it was just one manifestation of that law.
"The Azure-Tearing Ghost, if it can be upgraded to a Yin God, the Tearing Law will bestow upon it an incarnation of the law..." Seeing this, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but conceive an idea.
Because if he could obtain such a Tearing Yin God, then he might just achieve the Immortal Realm.
But just as quickly, Tan Shuchang suppressed these thoughts. He began trying to understand why this web page had suddenly appeared and what its purpose was. However, he never did figure it out.
Because he couldn’t do anything on this bizarre game’s web page, except enter and exit the area available to fierce ghosts. On this web page, he could only look around, unable to leave messages like the other players.
Suddenly, Tan Shuchang noticed some changes had occurred on the leaderboard for the fastest completion of the game instance by players.
He saw that another name had appeared above his.
However, what was strange was that this name was the same as his, with a record of completing the fierce ghost instance in one minute.
"To think there is someone with the exact same name and surname..."
Tan Shuchang was surprised, but then he saw a player with a crimson name leaving a message: "Even with a body of flesh and blood fully accommodating a fierce ghost, one wouldn’t have this ability. Could this also be a case of a fierce ghost successfully borrowing a corpse to return to life? But why hasn’t his name turned red?"
