Chapter 1137 - 1042 Grey Ghost
The Crumbled Netherworld.
At this moment, myriad ghostly beings fell silent, and Samsara was shaking as if the whole Netherworld was on the verge of destruction.
All ghostly beings were trembling and cowering on the ground, overwhelmed with anxiety.
“What… what did he say? Why can’t I hear that word clearly at all…”
“What kind of character is it, what kind of name that even we cannot listen to it!”
“Just hearing that name by our ears, we would become deaf… Our entire cultivation level cannot withstand the karma brought by that word…”
A group of old ghosts were terrified.
Having escaped from Samsara, they were powerhouses of their times, and even though they had become ghostly beings, they were anything but ordinary. If any of them could maintain their power for just a moment, they were capable of sweeping through the Forbidden Ancient Path, and annihilating the entire Grey Mist Sea.
But now, just because of a name…
They were utterly repressed.
Ghostly beings that harbored killing intent just moments ago disappeared in droves.
Those disrespectful lay on the ground, convulsing, unable to rise, their soul bodies shattered.
Those unreconciled were trembling and prostrating, not daring to raise a single thought.
…
In the whole Netherworld, only Qi Shuangming remained standing.
He held the Reincarnation Seal in his hand, now somewhat befuddled.
“What did I just say…”
He realized that he had forgotten!
The word came from his own mouth.
But the memory of that instant was directly obliterated!
“I still remember the small village, the twelve mentally ill, but why do I feel as if a piece of my memory has been lost?”
“I can remember a supreme being in that village… but I can’t recall his name, nothing about him at all…”
Qi Shuangming was somewhat startled, as he muttered:
“The name I just recited, has it exhausted all the karmic ties I had with that supreme being?”
“This lifetime… I only had this one chance to recite his name…”
At this moment, he understood…
The one from the small village… his status was too high, his cultivation level too terrifying.
If it weren’t for his good fortune to have lived in that village for a while, perhaps even seen that being a few times… he would have never been able to recite his name.
Those ties and that karma were a chance given by fate.
A chance to recite his name.
Now, this chance had vanished.
Thus, the memories of that being… were gone.
“Truly… an invincible existence that stands unrivaled through ages…”
He couldn’t help but sigh.
Since he had forgotten, he no longer dwelled on it.
He remembered his mission for coming here was to control Samsara, to rebuild Samsara, and that was enough.
Qi Shuangming took a deep breath and looked down at the old figure kneeling before him.
Zhutian!
Zhutian wore an ancient and worn grey robe with tattered edges and slight black stains, embodying an old powerful being within its folds.
He had white hair and long eyebrows, exuding an aura of majesty.
He was once a powerhouse that dazzled through the ages, even had some encounters with the Lord of Reincarnation, even a master like Meng Po couldn’t rival him.
But now, such a defiant powerhouse was kneeling.
Zhutian was stupefied, his entire body shaking.
“Zhutian… is willing to submit!”
He spoke with a quivering voice.
Qi Shuangming’s expression was complex as he said:
“That name…”
Zhutian quickly interrupted:
“No need!”
“It must not be recited again, every resonance of his name through the ages… brings about terrifying ripples… It cannot be recited again!”
Such a strong being, yet so reverent!
Qi Shuangming forced a smile, as he really wanted to say, even if I wanted to recite it again, I no longer have the ability or karma to do so…
He immediately took a deep breath and said:
“From this day forth, I hold the Authority of Reincarnation, as the King of Reincarnation… Does anyone object?”
His words were light, yet not a single ghost dared to disagree.
The ghostly beings all knew, behind this King of Reincarnation… there stood a being beyond imagination.
“We… submit.”
“With the rebuilding of Samsara… we, are willing to enter Samsara!”
“We absolutely dare not harbor any more disloyalty!”
The ghostly beings all spoke up.
Qi Shuangming nodded and then looked towards Ming Zhi and Tian An, saying:
“The two Yans, I request your assistance in dealing with these ghostly beings, what say you?”
Although he now held the Reincarnation Seal, his reverence for Ming Zhi and Tian An remained unchanging.
These two… their karma with the small mountain village, with the people at The End of Myriad Paths… is also rather significant!
Tian An and Ming Zhi both nodded, saying:
“Of course!”
At this time, Meng Po also came over, saying:
“These ghostly beings, with their strong cultivation levels, their Ghost Teeth are perfect for filling in the gaps in the Netherworld, enhancing the power of the Netherworld!”
Hearing this, the eyes of Ming Zhi and Tian An instantly lit up.
“Pull out their teeth? We are good at this!”
Ming Zhi rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with excitement.
“Bring the hammer, and knock them out one by one!”
Tian An was even more direct in speaking out!
…
Now, a corner of Samsara has been rebuilt!
Naihe Bridge is connected to the rotating Netherworld.
And at this moment.
Within the ancestral land of the Tenth Source Clan.
Jiang Li gazed from afar at everything happening in the Netherworld.
–The connection between this place’s magical formation and Samsara has not been completely severed, hence he could see.
“The name of the master…”
Jiang Li couldn’t help but sigh, saying:
“Just one word echoing through the Netherworld can cause such a supreme upheaval…”
Little Turtle then said:
“We’ve got to hurry, the dark hand will soon arrive… It won’t be good if you die again!”
It directly constructed a Teleportation Array.
“Wait a moment…”
At this time, Jiang Li said: “The seeds Master gave me haven’t been sown yet.”
Saying this, he headed straight for the Grey Mist Spring Eye at the bottom of the Great Lake.
The Grey Mist Spring Eye, a mere palm-sized hole, but from within it wafted thick grey fog.
The grey fog here was extremely pure, containing the power to destroy everything, gathering and dispersing from time to time.
Jiang Li held the seeds, approaching the Grey Mist Spring Eye.
Just as he was about to scatter them, suddenly, a grey arm reached out from the Grey Mist Spring Eye and grabbed Jiang Li’s hand!
“Grey Ghost!”
Little Turtle was taken aback, saying: “A pure Grey Ghost… There’s actually one hidden here?!”
The Grey Ghost, an extremely strange creature, born from the grey mist, indelible, and unkillable.
On Jiang Li’s hand, a layer of grey marks instantly appeared, his body seeming to be eroded.
But in an instant, white fog circulated on his hand, immediately dispelling the grey marks, and that grey arm also instantly released Jiang Li.
“White… you are white…”
From inside the spring eye, a strange and numb grey face appeared, staring straight at Jiang Li, saying:
“White… escape…”
“White… escape…”
“White… escape…”
This Grey Ghost seemed to only be able to utter this phrase!
Jiang Li’s brow furrowed slightly, but he didn’t care much, and immediately scattered the seeds down.
As the seeds entered the Grey Mist Spring Eye, in an instant, the seeds actually took root on the Grey Ghost’s face, which numbly closed its eyes, as if it had died!
And quietly, the seeds sprouted new shoots!
“This…”
Jiang Li felt a surge of alarm.
The Grey Ghost seemed to have shallow consciousness, able to convey some information…
What were they controlled by?
And where does this Grey Mist Spring Eye lead to?
“Little Turtle, how much do you know about Grey Ghosts?”
Jiang Li asked.
Little Turtle also shook its head, saying:
“This kind of thing… very strange, extremely rare to see on this side of the path…”
“I’m not very clear… Let’s go back and ask Second Elder and the others, compared to the Grey Ghosts they have seen, this one here probably only counts as… a cutie?”
At these words, Jiang Li was rendered speechless, Little Turtle’s description was just too much.
“Let’s go! Back to the village!”
Jiang Li and Little Turtle immediately entered and vanished from the spot.
…
Standing on the Forbidden Ancient Path, the Tenth Source Clan that had existed for countless years, is now totally extinct.
From the day they chose to collaborate with the old ghosts in the Crumbled Netherworld, this clan had already become neither human nor ghost, and turning into nothingness today might also be a form of liberation.
…
And not long after they had left.
Upon this land, suddenly there came the sound of iron chains being dragged across the ground.
…
