Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 192 The Ghost King's Delicious Corn (Part 1)

At this time, Jing Qian's true form and the [Feast God] had both left the most dangerous [Immortal Qi Mountain] and landed in new regions.

He has no control over how things will unfold on the [Immortal Qi Mountain].

Everyone has their own destiny!

It's already quite remarkable that he was able to handle his own ordeal so well.

When Jingqian's true form descended upon the [Hive Universe] for the second time, the resistance it sparked was far stronger than the first time.

Many of the insect demons were undoubtedly much more familiar with his aura.

In particular, the [Insect Mother] was tricked by him and forced to leave the [Immortal Qi Mountain] to fight to the death with the [Yanfu] incarnation.

It showed no mercy and immediately ordered the expulsion of all insect demons that could be driven away to strangle Jing Qian.

Jing Qian used the [Eternal Eye of Moment] to observe the changes in the entire [Insect Nest Universe] and immediately discovered that eleven extremely terrifying first-grade Great Insect Demons were rushing towards him.

Following behind were countless insects of all sizes, too numerous to count!
Jing Qian himself stood holding a sword, single-handedly confronting the entire universe.

Ordinary people would think he's crazy, and would be terrified to death in front of that vast sea of ​​insects.

But Jingqian remained unusually calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

He was simply facing a similar cultivation scenario, just like every other [Chunyangzi].

Since we have embarked on this path of "calamity," sooner or later, more or less, we will inevitably encounter calamities that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Jing Qian hovered in the air, placed the more than one hundred human candles in front of him in a row, and then brought out his own "Book of Life and Death".

He opened the book, and with his right hand, using [celestial energy] as a pen, began to try writing.

He carefully examined the first human candle with his [Eternal Eye of Moment], which was the female official who contained the [Tushita Furnace].

With the help of the Empress's seal, he could obtain all the information about the female officials without reservation.

And this information was clearly recorded by him in the Book of Life and Death.

"Shangguan Wan'er was born in the year 11-12 of the Heavenly Dynasty. Her innate destiny was seven taels and seven qian. She refined seven heavenly destinies, the Daughter's Red Wine and the Good Clothes Spirit, and refined 1,245 layers of immortal qi. She rose to the rank of First-Rank Iron-Clad Female Official and obtained the Four-Character Destiny Stele."

With just a few strokes, the entire story of Shangguan Wan'er's life of cultivation is depicted, and her life is successfully linked to the Book of Life and Death.

From this point onward, if Shangguan Wan'er were to perish, her body and soul would become materials for Jing Qian to refine ghosts.

And this was only the beginning; there were still 107 human candles before Jing Qian.

He wrote with lightning speed, swiftly recording the life information of one great cultivator after another in the Book of Life and Death.

“Zen Master Fazheng…”

"The Phantom Demon Lord..."

"Rock Kirin..."

Each of them is a second-grade cultivator, and at least possesses a very high level of [Golden Immortal Spiritual Qi].

As he wrote, he also spoke:
“Fellow Daoists, I took a great risk in bringing you all out of the Empress’s palace.”

"Now that you fellow Daoists are in my hands, although I would not continue to exploit you like the Empress."

"But I ask you fellow Daoists to repay this favor with your lives."

"I am currently in the [Insect Hive Universe], besieged by Insect Demons."

"If you fellow Daoists are willing to fight to the death and perish together with the insect demon, hand over your physical bodies and magical power to me."

"Then I can let you fellow Daoists go to reincarnate, and from then on our grudges will be settled."

"Of course, if you are unwilling to give up your cultivation in this world, or unwilling to help me, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing. I will definitely search for the location of your [Life Stele] and take back what is rightfully mine."

"Since none of you have any leverage to negotiate with me, just do as I say!"

"If any fellow Daoist is dissatisfied, they can come and find me again after reincarnation."

After saying that, Jing Qian gathered the candles in front of him into a tray, making them look like a string of firecrackers.

Then, he raised his hand and used the power of [Sumeru] to send the bundle of human candles in front of him into the core of the [Insect Nest Universe].

In an instant, amidst the horde of insect demons, a burst of magical light suddenly erupted.

The magical light was so immense that wherever it swept, swathes of the insect demon race perished, turning into ashes under the bombardment of the magical power.

One hundred and eight powerful cultivators, having broken free from the state of human candles, flew out from that spiritual light.

Demons and monsters, immortals, gods, Buddhas, and martial arts—all kinds of traditions are gathered together in perfect order.

These major repairs have been enslaved by [God Ego] for countless years!
Now that they had finally broken free, the pent-up anger in their hearts transformed into a desperate determination to fight the surrounding insect demons, and they immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Jing Qian, who was originally a lone warrior fighting against a horde of demons, found 108 extremely capable assistants for himself.

In a short time, they turned the tide of the battle considerably.

He had considered it very clearly. These people were covered with the Empress's magical imprints, and he could not possibly maintain control over them for long.

However, releasing all these people at once would be a losing proposition for him.

After all, he was the one who had to bear the consequences of the Empress's actions!

Therefore, let the great cultivators among the human candles risk their lives for him and the insect demon clan, until they sacrifice everything to the Book of Life and Death, only then can they be considered free.

Anyway, with the [Life Stele] in existence, all the great beings who have died can always return.

Jing Qian took the magical power they had accumulated over a lifetime, considering it as a service he had performed to save people.

And the powerful figures behind these candles will become good materials for him to refine ghosts.

This place is the lair of the Insect Demon race, even though the [Insect Queen] is tied up in the [Immortal Qi Mountain] and cannot return.

The remaining eleven Moon Goddesses, along with a dense swarm of top-grade rank insects, surrounded the Human Candle cultivator, forming an insect array that easily suppressed these mysteriously emerged cultivators.

The battle became extremely fierce!
The shattered insect corpses stirred up a mountain of corpses and a rain of blood, splashing across the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Jing Qian was not idle either.

He vanished in a flash, entering the [Sumeru] dimension and quickly cutting into the core of the battlefield.

Here, hundreds of powerful cultivators formed a battle formation with perfect coordination, like a meat grinder, slaughtering each other madly.

Jing Qian then brought out the Book of Life and Death again, and with a single glance, he scanned the swarm of insects.

Any insect demon that he sweeps up will have its detailed personal information recorded in the Book of Life and Death.

When these insect demons die in the Great Cultivation Battle Formation, a considerable portion of their divine souls and magical power will transform into [Ghost Script], enriching Jing Qian's reserves.

On both sides of the battlefield, no matter which side dies, Jing Qian will harvest a crop of casualties.

He's eating the plaintiff's food and then the defendant's; he's cutting the chives from both ends.

In an instant, as many insect demons died, the number of Ghost Scripts accumulated in his Book of Life and Death began to increase rapidly.

His ability to manipulate monsters has been significantly enhanced! The once peaceful [Zerg Hive Universe] has been completely disrupted by him.

The man who dared to defy the Empress, Zhu Daxiu, was naturally a formidable fighter, and in a short time, he slaughtered countless insect demons.

The situation on the battlefield was not reversed until eleven Moon Goddesses descended in succession.

Gradually, some great cultivators began to succumb to the onslaught of the first-rank demon and perished on the battlefield.

However, every major overhauler died with equanimity.

This is a great relief!

Once they are resurrected, they will be able to shed their burdens and re-enter the correct rhythm of cultivation, which is certainly something to celebrate.

Jing Qian didn't care about this at all; he was focused on activating the Book of Life and Death to accumulate materials for refining ghosts.

This conflict has only just begun; every bit of progress made now will be beneficial to the great battle to come.

……

[The God of Feasts] made great contributions to Jingqian's cultivation!
He not only successfully stormed the Silver Ring Palace, but also reclaimed the Tushita Furnace.

Furthermore, they forcibly took away the Empress's treasured [Divine Status of the Vajra].

At this moment, this strange divine spark has been completely embedded in the [Banquet God's] sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows. Although it has not yet been perfectly integrated, it has already become an inseparable part of him.

The existence of the [Possa Divine Rank] replaced the image of the Divine Eyes and transformed into the [Spiritual Mechanism] hidden in the brow and heart orifice of the [Feast God].

It should have experienced a great leap forward in its magical powers!
Unfortunately, it was struck by the powerful Five Emperors Divine Light from Egao Shangdi, which almost completely destroyed Yanshen.

If it weren't for the fact that the [Feast God]'s first-rank essence was indeed quite good, and that he wasn't blessed with numerous [Heavenly Mandate] and [Spiritual Ability], he would probably have been completely annihilated.

Even so, he was severely injured and on the verge of death!

Fortunately, at this critical moment, the [Possa Godhead] performed a miraculous feat, managing to rescue him from the Empress's grasp.

When the Five Emperors' Divine Light faded, the Banquet God mysteriously disappeared into the Dao Abyss Divine Shuttle Universe.

When he awoke from a long slumber, he found himself sealed inside a giant pink crystal.

The divine sense of [Feast God] probed outwards, and a slender girl's figure was leaning against the crystal, patiently listening to the lecture.

A strange ghostly figure emerged from a ring on the girl's hand and began to teach her the basics of Taoist cultivation.

The ghost's words were detailed and professional, and they matched the girl's learning progress quite well, allowing her to maintain a high level of learning efficiency.

It truly deserves to be called a good teacher.

[Banquet God] shared memories with Jing Qian, and he instantly realized what was happening.

The little girl in front of him was a pawn he placed in his scheme when he was fortunate enough to be connected with the Treasure Bottle Universe after obtaining the title of [Child of the Saha World].

She is the only remaining survivor of the original "Possa Cult," Saintess Sasha.

At that critical moment of life and death, the [Bosa Godhead] actually brought the [Feast God] into the [Treasure Bottle Seal Universe]!
Jing Qian had no objection to this; it was the best solution!

Just by looking at the unique five-colored mark on the chest of the [Feast God], it is clear that it was left by [Goddess Ego].

He's being closely watched by the Empress!
If the Empress hadn't been preoccupied with the incarnation of [Yanfu] and unable to spare any attention for the time being...

If he were still in the [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe], he would probably have been chased away like a dog long ago.

This time, coming to the [Aquarius Universe] to avoid calamity is not a bad idea.

For Jingqian, his clone took away all the cause and effect and then ran off to other universes to find peace and quiet.

The main body remains in the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] to continue exploring the path of cultivation.

Their teamwork was excellent, and they complemented each other perfectly!

Moreover, this [Treasure Bottle Seal Universe] is in no way inferior to the [Dao Abyss Divine Shuttle Universe], and contains numerous great cultivators and countless resources.

For someone like Jing Qian who loves making friends, this is an excellent place to go.

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. [Feast God] is planning to socialize quite a bit before heading back!
……

One hundred and eight great cultivators withstood the onslaught of eleven first-rank Moon Goddesses for six whole days before their bodies and souls were annihilated and they were reborn.

Jing Qian watched helplessly as all the helpers he had recruited perished, yet he made no attempt to intervene.

For him, this was simply an essential part of the process of reaping the rewards!
A massive amount of [Ghost Script] merged into the [Book of Life and Death], becoming the nourishment he used to piece together the Great Ghost.

These nutrients will play a crucial role in Jing Qian's next plan.

After he finished doing all this, he glanced at the eleven Moon Goddesses in front of him, then looked up and looked at the Insect Mother and the Hungry Ghost Body fighting each other on the Immortal Qi Mountain.

Then, in a flash, he disappeared.

Even though his strength has improved rapidly, it is still completely impossible for him to defeat eleven Moon Gods.

He left the [Zerg Hive Universe] directly and began the next step of his plan.

……

Jing Qian reappeared, now in the Great Black Heaven, and landed in front of the Ghost Yuan Palace.

Then, he stepped inside and arrived at the [Ghost Yuan Yin Cauldron] where the black snake was located.

The black snake had been waiting here for a long time!

Jing Qian's strength and status are now completely different from what they used to be, and Black Serpent no longer has any intention of acting superior in front of him.

After Jing Qian arrived, he first absorbed all the Yin-Yang Fiend energy accumulated by the fat snake before speaking again:
"Lord Snake, how long have you occupied this Ghost Yuan Palace?"

But then the fat snake spoke:
“Master, I am penniless. This little snake is the twenty-third guardian spirit of the Ghost Yuan Palace. It has been cultivating in this palace for over 100,000 years.”

"Ever since the emergence of the Divine Heaven of the Dao Abyss from the Yama Path, the little snake couple has been guarding this place."

Jing Qian nodded and said:
"You've had a tough time, Snake Master!"

"However, according to the rules of the [Yanfu Dao], the position of [Stove Spirit] in the [Ghost Origin Hall] probably cannot be held for so long, right?"

"Let alone 100,000 years, even 30,000 years wouldn't be allowed, would it?"

Upon hearing this, the fat snake's expression turned serious, and it fell silent.

Jing Qian spoke again:
"There are reasons for the establishment of the sect rules."

"The Ghost Yuan Hall is unlike any other treasure hall; it exists specifically for refining Yuan Qi."

"There are too many vested interests involved, which is beyond imagination."

"Wealth can move people's hearts!"

Even the most innocent and loyal [Stove Spirit], after occupying this position for so long, wouldn't it be tempted by this massive amount of [Immortal Qi]?
