328: Chapter 328 A Twist of Fate

At this moment, he realized no one around was coming to stop him!

He finally let out a small sigh of relief.

The sword seed Soul Slasher circled around him, ready for any potential crisis.

The shadowless water sword followed behind him, prepared to deliver a fatal blow.

Little Black and Little Earth both condensed a layer of protective shield, enveloping Gu Changan.

Sugar Bean was not to be outdone, controlling the Blood Refining Grand Array to a size of ten feet to surround Gu Changan.

With this triple layer of protection, even a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator wouldn't be able to break it in one hit.

Not to mention Little Thunder, who possessed the pressure of the Soul Transformation Stage, was watching nearby like a tiger eyeing its prey.

It could block damage for him at any moment or deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Gu Changan cautiously arrived at the entrance of the underground river.

As it turned out, the expected attack from the Soul Transformation Stage did not come.

Even after leaving the underground river and the Blood Refining Valley, no one came to pursue him.

This left Gu Changan feeling somewhat bewildered!

What was going on?

He couldn't quite figure it out!

In fact, when the Formation at the entrance of the underground river was broken, the Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect had noticed.

He quickly condensed a Divine Thought to observe.

He discovered that Gu Changan was only a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Yet he dared to break into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect alone; he must have something to rely on.

Therefore, he needed to observe more and not strike rashly.

He would see how Situ Kong handled it!

When he saw Gu Changan release four Spirit Treasures, the Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator's eyes burned with greed.

Such things were rare anywhere; even if he just snatched them to use as Magic Treasures, it would be great!

After all, they were the original embryos of Spirit Treasures.

Seeing Gu Changan actually evenly matched with Situ Kong, he immediately felt something was wrong.

However, if Situ Kong were defeated in the end, he could launch a sneak attack.

He absolutely could not let the Cultivator before him act so arrogantly in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.

That was until the sword seed Soul Slasher broke Situ Kong's defense in just a few moves.

And then, after Situ Kong was killed, he actually called out for help?

Didn't that directly expose him?

Making the opponent alert?

Just as he was about to curse Situ Kong, he noticed a Soul Transformation Stage mental pressure appear beside the Cultivator.

It was a fellow covered in lightning.

It looked just like the Heavenly Tribulation he had faced before.

The Spirit Transformation Stage Divine Thought was scared out of its wits.

Fortunately, Situ Kong had called out to him when he died, forcing the opponent to show his trump card.

If he had just rushed up like that, he might have already met his end.

The Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator was very decisive, immediately abandoning this Divine Thought and cutting off its connection with his main body.

As for his main body, it fled directly from the secret room and began to escape toward the Ancient Forbidden Land.

As for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?

Who cared about the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

How could it be more important than his own life?

As long as he was alive!

The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect would exist!

If he was gone, what use was the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?

Thus, both the Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator and Gu Changan were terrified of each other's presence.

So, both sides fled as fast as they could.

Gu Changan fled toward the south, and after escaping for over a thousand miles, he found that no one was following him.

He finally felt completely at ease.

Once again, he created a three-bedroom, one-living room suite underground.

He began to organize his gains from this trip.

First was the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect's ten thousand souls banner, which contained about 70 Ghost Kings.

Gu Changan was in a bit of a dilemma; these Ghost Kings were hard to divide!

Little Black and Sugar Bean, the two item spirits, were both looking at him expectantly.

It wouldn't be good to give more to one and less to the other, or the two little guys would get upset.

Gu Changan first identified each of these Ghost Kings and searched their memories.

It took about half a day.

Finally, he figured it out: over ten of them were past Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.

As for the other 60-plus, they were all various murdered Cultivators.

Gu Changan stroked his chin and began to think; these murdered Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could serve as the main force to bolster his supreme grade ten thousand souls banner.

As for those past Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, he had to be cautious.

Because they understood the ten thousand souls banner too well, from the production process to the rune control.

He was afraid that one day he might accidentally suffer a backlash.

Gu Changan immediately made a decision.

He directly refined those ten-plus Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect into the top-grade blood soul pagoda.

This way, facing a top-grade Spirit Treasure they were unfamiliar with, those Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect could only stare helplessly.

And the remaining 60-plus Ghost Kings were all refined into his supreme grade ten thousand souls banner.

Little Black was naturally grinning from ear to ear; suddenly, he had over 60 more Ghost Kings.

He instantly became the most powerful Spirit Treasure in his master's hands.

As for Sugar Bean, his mouth twitched slightly; there really was no comparison!

Little Black had over 60, while he only had 10 Ghost Kings.

However, he still controlled these Ghost Kings and converted them into the strongest combat force of the blood soul tower.

Gu Changan let the two little guys float to the side.

He began to rummage through Situ Kong's Storage Pouch and actually found a nascent soul pill.

Gu Changan was overjoyed and began to replicate it.

Before long, a supreme grade nascent soul pill was upgraded.

Gu Changan was satisfied; at least he now had the resources for Cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage.

He could Cultivate all the way to the Soul Transformation Stage.

The Soul Transformation Stage should be the ceiling of this world, right?

Gu Changan began to recall the information he had obtained from the soul search.

Especially from those past Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.

They would more or less know some of the world's truths.

Then Gu Changan pieced them together and obtained the most comprehensive information.

First, regarding the Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators in the world.

In the memories of the dozen or so Sect Masters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, there were three existing Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators.

One was from the Tianji Pavilion, one from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, and one from the Northern Cultivation Alliance.

There wasn't much other information, as these Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators didn't show themselves easily.

Next was regarding Ascension.

The Ascension path had been cut off about 6,000 years ago.

Some said it was because Upper Realm Cultivators suppressed the people of this Cultivation World, so they destroyed the Ascension path.

Some said it was because, before ascending, the Cultivators who were about to ascend had offended too many people in this Cultivation World.

They were afraid that people from this Cultivation World would ascend and seek revenge.

So, after ascending, they directly cut off the Ascension path.

But the specific situation was unknown!

Gu Changan felt a bit emotional after hearing this news.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Gu Changan settled in the Treasure Pavilion's Tianbao City.

He began to Cultivate quietly like this.

Afterward, Gu Changan also inquired about the situation of the Tianji Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

The Saint of the Tianji Pavilion died, but they didn't look into it further; instead, they directly chose another Saint.

It was as if nothing had happened!

The same was true for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect; the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect died.

But the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect did not disband, and other Sects did not take the opportunity to attack.

It seemed these major forces had their own channels of information.

They likely knew that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect possessed a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator.
