363: Chapter 363 Ghost Third Sister Comes to the Door
Meanwhile, in the Tiannan Region.
The Nangong Family.
Nangong Sanyang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Primordial Spirit.
Immediately, he realized that someone had broken the mark he left on his Medium Grade Dao Artifact spear.
At the same time, he also realized something.
Ignoring his cultivation, he rushed straight to the Soul Hall where the Family kept their soul tablets.
Soon, he arrived at the Soul Hall.
When his gaze swept over Nangong Jing's soul tablet, his face immediately darkened.
Because Nangong Jing's soul tablet was completely shattered, which meant that Nangong Jing was already dead.
He couldn't quite understand why a dignified Dao Integration Realm Level 9 would fail to assassinate a Spirit Severing Stage Level 9.
And even got counter-killed by the other party?
"Could it be that Immortal Venerable Yun Lan intervened in this matter?"
He thought of a possibility.
"Yes, there must have been intervention from Immortal Venerable Yun Lan!"
Nangong Sanyang's expression became certain; after all, Chen Hu was Xia Qianqian's savior.
The other party saved Xia Qianqian's life, and afterwards, you just ignored it.
If word got out, it would certainly ruin Xia Qianqian's reputation.
Therefore, it was only natural for Immortal Venerable Yun Lan to send someone to protect Chen Hu.
"Damn it!"
Nangong Sanyang cursed, especially when he thought about the loss of a Medium Grade Dao Artifact; his heart ached with every thought.
His Nangong Family only had five Dao Artifacts in total.
Two Medium Grade, three Low Grade.
The other Medium Grade one was in the hands of their strongest Old Ancestor, Nangong Wuwei.
As the Family Head, he was qualified to wield one Medium Grade Dao Artifact.
But once he stepped down, he would have to hand over this Medium Grade Dao Artifact to pass it on to the next Family Head.
Fortunately, he had only been Family Head for three thousand years and still had seven thousand years left in his term.
Otherwise, just because of the loss of the Medium Grade Dao Artifact, he would have to face punishment from the Family.
Therefore, the matter of losing the Medium Grade Dao Artifact must be kept secret.
Also, the news of Nangong Jing's death must be kept secret.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and the fragments of Nangong Jing's soul tablet were collected by him.
After a slight hesitation, he created a fake one and placed it in the original position.
As for why the news of Nangong Jing's death could not be leaked.
The reason was very simple.
Previously, because of his daughter Nangong Yun, the Nangong Family had already sacrificed two Dao Integration Realm Cultivators.
Now, because of venting his daughter's anger, another one was sacrificed.
If his daughter were still the Saintess, no one in the Nangong Family would likely say anything.
But now that his daughter had been removed from the position of Saintess, if the news of Nangong Jing's death spread, his position as Family Head might become unstable.
Fortunately, Immortal Venerable Hanyan had not given up on his daughter.
Otherwise, the day after Immortal Venerable Hanyan expelled his daughter from the sect, someone would likely have dragged him down from the position of Family Head.
Time flew by.
It was early morning.
Chen Hu brought up the System interface.
Seeing the amount of underling points, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Last night, only 111 million were left; today, it had increased by 5.839 billion.
The updated underling points became 5.95 billion.
The next moment, the System Mall appeared before him.
He entered "Top Grade Dao Artifact" into the search box.
He clicked search.
His gaze quickly swept across the page, and finally, Chen Hu spent 800 million to acquire a defensive Top Grade Dao Artifact called the Xuanwu Shield.
He dripped blood to acknowledge ownership.
He injected magic power to refine it.
The next moment, the Xuanwu Shield merged directly into Chen Hu's body.
His sense of security also greatly increased.
With the defensive capabilities of the Xuanwu Shield, even an ordinary Mahayana Realm Cultivator would not be able to break through his defense.
He glanced at the underling points; over 5 billion remained.
Chen Hu's mind stirred, and he ordered the System: "System, raise my cultivation to Dao Integration Realm Level 9!"
Instantly, 5 billion underling points were deducted.
150 million remained.
And his cultivation soared rapidly.
Dao Integration Realm Level 2.
Dao Integration Realm Level 3.
Dao Integration Realm Level 4.
...
Dao Integration Realm Level 6.
"Refreshing!"
Feeling his expanding Primordial Spirit and the surging magic power within it, Chen Hu couldn't help but clench his fist.
Besides that.
The connection between his Primordial Spirit and the Dao of Time had become even tighter.
"With my current cultivation, I should be invincible in the Dao Integration Realm, right?"
Chen Hu thought to himself: "I just don't know if I can kill a Mahayana Realm Cultivator!"
He calmed down his mood.
Chen Hu used two enlightenment cards on the Divine River Sword Formula.
The result brought his Divine River Sword Formula to the Major Achievement stage.
To reach Perfection, Chen Hu estimated that he would need to spend at least three more enlightenment cards.
With cheats, his natural Comprehension Ability and Spiritual Root were top-tier.
Even so, cultivating a single Dao Integration Realm Spell would take over a hundred years.
Then, how much time would other Dao Integration Realm Cultivators have to spend to Cultivate a Spell to Perfection?
It was no wonder the Mahayana Realm Cultivators were unwilling to appear in the world.
They were likely hiding away to Cultivate techniques and Spells.
After all, if Dao Integration Realm Spells were this difficult, one could imagine how difficult Mahayana Realm Spells must be.
He took out a good luck card and used it.
He obtained five times good luck.
He opened all the material and item cards first.
Only the intelligence card, connection card, identity card, and treasure hunting card remained.
He would open the intelligence card first today.
He silently thought "Open".
Today's intelligence: Tomorrow morning, Ghost Lady, who feels awe towards the host, will come to visit the host because she suspects that the person who killed Nangong Jing is the host.
He opened the connection card.
He obtained a D-grade connection.
He gave it up directly.
He opened the identity card.
What he obtained was a Yao Race Nascent Soul Realm identity.
Chen Hu immediately switched identities and read his memories.
As mentioned before.
The Great Cultivation World is divided into the Nine Heavens and Ten Regions.
The Nine Heavens are the territory of the Human Race.
Among the ten regions, six are territories of the Yao Race.
And the identity Chen Hu obtained was that of an ordinary Wolf Yao in the Yao Race's Wolf Region.
The six Yao Race regions are the Dragon Region, Tiger Region, Wolf Region, Phoenix Region, Qilin Region, and Hundred Yao Region.
The Dragon Region is ruled by the Dragon Clan, but also living there are the Dragon Clan's vassal races, the Snake Race and the Flood Dragon Race.
In the Tiger Region, the Tiger Race is the absolute hegemon; the Tiger Race's vassal races include the Lion Race, Leopard Race, and Pig Race.
In the Wolf Region, the Wolf Race is also the absolute hegemon; their vassal races include the Rabbit Race, Sheep Race, and Horse Race.
The ruler of the Phoenix Region is naturally the Phoenix; the Phoenix Race has many vassal races, but they are all Avian Races.
As for the Qilin Race, the rulers are naturally the Qilin; their vassal races are the Dog Race and Ox Race.
Finally, the Hundred Yao Region, where most of the Yao Race gathers, is also relatively chaotic.
The relationship between the Yao Race and the Human Race has always been bad.
However, it is the Hundred Yao Region that borders the Human Race territory.
Human Race Cultivators often sneak into the Hundred Yao Region to hunt the Yao Race.
Of course, the Yao Race from the Hundred Yao Region also sneak into Human Race territory to devour humans.
As for why the Human Race and Yao Race cannot live in harmony.
The reason is very simple: after the Yao Race reveals their original form, the Materials on their bodies are excellent Materials for refining Magic Treasures.
And after the Yao Race devours humans, their cultivation increases greatly.
Therefore, the two races cannot maintain peace.
After finishing the Wolf Yao's memories, Chen Hu was a bit depressed, because apart from having a basic understanding of the six Yao regions.
There was absolutely no useful intelligence.
He opened the treasure hunting card and obtained a treasure location within Xuanwu City.
Chen Hu didn't hesitate and went straight to collect it.
However, the result disappointed him; there were only a few million Low-Grade Spirit Stones and two High Grade Magical Artifacts.
Time flew by.
It was the next morning.
He didn't have to wait long.
Ghost Lady came to visit.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am Ghost Lady, from the Feiyu Guard. I have been ordered to learn about you during this time. If I have caused any offense, please do not blame me, Fellow Daoist!"
Ghost Lady said very politely, and her eyes also showed a trace of worry.
After all, when a person dies, they might become a ghost.
But when a ghost dies, they can't even be reincarnated.
"Are you a Ghost Cultivator?"
Chen Hu curiously looked at Ghost Lady.
"Yes!" Ghost Lady said respectfully.
"Then, are you a physical entity, or are you illusory?" Chen Hu asked again.
"Then why don't you try touching me, Fellow Daoist!" Ghost Lady said boldly, because she sensed that Chen Hu did not seem to have any killing intent towards her.
"Then I'll try!"
Chen Hu reached out and grabbed Ghost Lady's arm, then retracted it and said: "There's no difference from a human body, except that the skin is slightly cold!"
Ghost Lady said: "Our Ghost Cultivator bodies can freely switch between illusory and physical states!"
"Doesn't that mean that when attacked, you can directly turn illusory, making the opponent's attack directly fail!" Chen Hu's eyes lit up.
Ghost Lady smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are overthinking it. When we Ghost Cultivators convert to an illusory body, it at most makes us two or three times faster, which is convenient for escaping. Besides that, we can pass through physical entities that do not possess magic attributes, but we still cannot achieve immunity to attacks!"
"So that's how it is; I understood it wrong!"
Chen Hu revealed a look of realization.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, that Dao Integration Realm Level 9 from last night, you killed him, right?" Seeing that Chen Hu was relatively easy to talk to, Ghost Lady gathered the courage to ask.
"Yes, it was me!" Chen Hu nodded.
"It really was you!"
Ghost Lady revealed an expression of "I knew it was you all along."
