Chapter 197 The Yin-Yang Scales, Beneath the Divine Artifact
The tray ghost trembled with excitement.

It mustered all its strength and shouted, "Fellow ghosts, this is the Wild Goose Ghost King! It's the Wild Goose Ghost King!"

But it didn't know that its voice was actually very small and soft.

Although Chen Xu heard it, he didn't seem to care.

The tray ghost was extremely anxious, wishing he could generate 108,000 more hands to push and shake Chen Xu awake, so that he would listen carefully to what he was saying.

However, Chen Xu and the Wild Goose Ghost King arrived at the opposite side of the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale.

The enormous Yin-Yang Scales appeared to be at least ten feet tall, with a pillar standing like an ancient monument in the very center of the vast ghost market.

Above, it connects to the dusky sky; to the left and right, it forms a double disc of yin and yang.

Dark golden chains descended from the boundless sky, connecting the left and right pans of the scale, seemingly carrying an ancient and constant presence.

The cyan-gold base is surrounded by faint flame patterns, and when you get close, you can almost hear the roaring sound of karmic fire that makes the souls of all living beings and the dead tremble!
Hua Hua——

The fire burned the Yin and Yang, and within it seemed that countless sentient beings were screaming and churning.

"Don't burn it! I'm guilty, I confess!"

"My life has been filled with hardship, but how could it be my fault? I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this..."

"Hate! I hate so much! Kill! I want to kill, kill, kill!"

"You wretched creature, get out of here..."

The ghostly cries were sometimes clear, sometimes indistinct.

Some seemed to be murmuring in a frenzy, while others seemed to be singing a mournful song in the vastness.

"My soul lingers, crossing the River of Oblivion."

"White bones form boats, and blue phosphorescence serves as sails..."

The roaring of the karmic fire seemed to be right before my eyes at times, and at other times it seemed to be on the horizon.

That is a flame from the unseen world, burning away the greed, anger, ignorance, desire, love, hate, and grudges of the world...

The tray ghost floated beside Chen Xu, trembling with fear.

They were afraid that if the other party failed to hold them back, they would be thrown into that karmic fire.

It wanted to shout again, but suddenly it found Chen Xu and the Wild Goose Ghost King sitting cross-legged in front of a stall.

The tray ghost was suddenly dazed and quickly spun its tray body around before it came to its senses. "Huh? Where is the karmic fire around me?"
They were now in the inner circle of the Ghost Market, in front of a stall closest to the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale.

Just now, because he was too close, he was affected by the mysterious aura of the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale, which caused the tray ghost to become distracted and vaguely hear the sound of karmic fire.

But now, upon closer inspection, all that can be seen is a bustling ghost market.

Beneath the massive scale nearby, the patterns of karmic fire were faintly visible, but the hazy chanting that had just echoed in the ears of the tray ghost was clearly gone.

So, everything just now was just an illusion?

No, the tray ghost knows that those are no illusions!
Rather, it was the artifact that sensed something—

Legend has it that in the Ghost Market of the Underworld, if a true genius ghost spirit walks under the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale, this divine artifact will automatically sense it and release various extraordinary tests.

If a spirit can pass the test, it will immediately receive a wondrous reward from the unseen world.

It is said that many years ago, the Ghost Lord of the Myriad Desolations comprehended the Great Law of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net under the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale!
Only in this way can we guard the desolate plains and cultivate vast fields of ghost fields on that originally barren and boundless wasteland.

Today, the Ghost Lord of the Myriad Desolations has become a legendary and powerful ghost.

The tray ghost certainly didn't believe that the strange phenomenon just now was because it had touched the Yin-Yang Scales, after all, it knew its own limitations perfectly well. It guessed that it had probably been "implicated" by some truly outstanding genius.

Sweeping around by a mysterious aura aroused by the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale, he vaguely saw the illusion of karmic fire and was terrified.

So, who was it that truly triggered the artifact's senses just now?

The tray ghost has no heart, but at this moment, it seems to hear the sound of its own heart pounding violently.

It glanced around.

The sounds of hawking, laughter, and discussion filled the ghost market as usual.

Strangely enough, the ghost who had just cooked porridge in the street, causing such a commotion, is still being discussed and reminisced about by the other ghosts.

But everyone seemed to be blind, unable to see that Brother "Hanging Ghost" was now sitting beside the Wild Goose Ghost King at his stall.

In the bustling ghost market, this place seems to be a unique haven of tranquility.

The tray ghost's imagined "heart" pounded, its gaze carefully slipping away from the Wild Goose Ghost King, then suddenly sweeping over the "Hanging Ghost" brother.

Which of these two prodigies will be the one sensed by the divine artifact?
Logically speaking, it should naturally be the Wild Goose Ghost King.

But in reality, the Wild Goose Ghost King often sits opposite the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale and sets up a stall. If he wanted to trigger the artifact's sensing, he would have sensed it a hundred or so times already. So why did he wait until now?
If we rule out the Wild Goose Ghost King, then only one possibility remains.

The tray ghost felt its "breathing" become rapid again. Even though it had stopped breathing long ago, it vaguely felt a jolt of lightning, as if it had fallen from the sky.

It permeates its very being, making it something it dares not think about, yet at this moment it cannot help but think about.

It's Brother "Hanger"!
If the prodigy who triggered the divine artifact's response was not the Wild Goose Ghost King, then it could only be Brother "Hanging Ghost".

What kind of luck is this?
In the vast ghost market, the "hanging ghost" brother smuggled himself across to the underworld, and then, at the exact moment, he appeared next to the tray ghost.

It was said that it encountered and became acquainted with it.

Nowadays, the "hanging ghost" ignores everyone else, but insists on dragging the tray ghost along with him.

What does this represent?
The tray ghost trembled with excitement, its breath quickening and its heart pounding like a drum.

This is fate, this is opportunity!
No wonder Brother "Hanging Ghost" was able to sneak across to the Yellow Springs, and no wonder he was so calm and composed when facing the Wild Goose Ghost King.

If this ghost is not an ordinary ghost, but a peerless ghost in the world, then wouldn't all of this make sense?

Since he is a prodigy, Brother "Hanger" must be quite young.

The tray ghost twisted and turned, its heart pounding like thunder.

It turned the tray to peek at Chen Xu, and couldn't help but wonder what exactly the divine artifact test he had just faced was.
Did he pass the test?

Why did he remain so calm throughout the entire journey?
Even the Yin-Yang Scales' influence and trials failed to cause any fluctuation in his emotions?
What did he gain?
The tray ghost was lost in thought, its mind unsettled.

One moment he was wondering what Chen Xu had just obtained, and the next he was recalling when he first met Brother "Hanging Ghost" and it seemed that he had done something out of line.

Ugh!
The tray ghost was getting anxious, and wished it could immediately grow a hand to slap itself hard.

Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed! Pah!

Chen Xu was unaware that the tray ghost he controlled was experiencing such turbulent emotions.

But in reality, Chen Xu was not as calm and composed as he appeared on the surface.

Just now, as Chen Xu was passing by the Yin-Yang Boundless Scale, he suddenly felt a sensation when he looked up at this divine artifact.

Upon observing the spirit and charm of this scale, he suddenly comprehended a supernatural power.
