The Ghost Emperor’s Decree Appears, Questioning the Heavens (5K)_2 Chapter 1197: 469: Preaching Controversy!
The Ghost Emperor’s Decree Appears, Questioning the Heavens (5K)_2 Within the Hall of Human Heart, Chen Dengming’s spirit incarnation received a message from his Incense Fire Incarnation and could not help but ponder and nod in agreement.
In the Cultivation World, the Immortal Sects and Way Gates exercised exceptionally strict protection and control over the “laws,” akin to treasuring their own worn brooms.
Often, even after slaying an enemy, one could not obtain any truly precious Daoist methods, let alone Sect Suppressing Dao Skills.
This was something he had experienced when he was weaker, and it was only after joining a Sect that the situation improved.
Yet, with the Great Dao being boundless, when it came to other paths and other families’ techniques, they were incredibly difficult to acquire.

...
The very Incense Fire Becoming God Dao, which the Incense Fire Incarnation now had and that could be cultivated up to the late Nascent Soul stage, was actually obtained through trade by offering vast resources, and even the North Spirit Sect’s complete cultivation system of the past.
Even so, it was pieced together rather than a complete, systemic method.
After some contemplation, Chen Dengming had made a decision in his heart and continued to communicate with the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun through his spirit.
Before this, he had already had a brief communication with Chu Xun, mainly to catch up, inquire about his current situation, and inform him about Jiang Qiang’s circumstances.
A cycle of sixty years had passed, and now Chu Xun was a Ghost King on the verge of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, but his situation was not great.
Mainly because the Starfall Ghost City, which was recently taken down, was governed jointly by Chu Xun and the Ghost King of Yinming.
In recent years, the strength of the Ghost King of Yinming had grown significantly, and he was only a hair’s breadth away from reaching Complete Nascent Soul.
He had suppressed Chu Xun to the point where he now held only thirty percent of the power and resources within Starfall Ghost City.
One could predict that once the Ghost King of Yinming successfully broke through to Complete Nascent Soul, it would be the moment of revealing his concealed blade, and he would surely first target Chu Xun.
“Brother Chen, these years because of the re-emergence of the Ghost Shade due to the Ghost Emperor’s Order, all the Ghost Kings and Monarchs have become restless, each dispatching their forces to invade the Mortal World.
“Though I don’t wish to get involved, the Ghost King of Yinming is very active.
In recent years, some of the ghost creatures that have invaded your Longevity Dao Field are mostly from the Ghost King of Yinming and the forces of the Biluo Ghost Monarch.”
Chen Dengming nodded and said, “Old Zhu, you’ve also endured great hardship over the years.
I had initially planned to deal with the Ghost King of Yinming for you when my strength became stronger.
“I didn’t expect that to turn into a wait of a full sixty years.
Now, it’s time to solve the problem of the Ghost King of Yinming for you…”
Chu Xun heard this and was overjoyed, quickly expressing his gratitude.
Chen Dengming asked, “What is this Ghost Emperor’s Order you mentioned?”
Chu Xun replied with grave seriousness, “The Ghost Emperor’s Order is a Daoist Artifact of our Ghost Path, representing the inheritance treasure of the Ghost God Tao System.
“Even though we ghost creatures are naturally gifted with psychic abilities, and after cultivating to Nascent Soul, we only need to control a source of Nether Spring and a certain amount of Yin Soil and River of Styx Water to come in contact with and get a grasp on the Ghost God Tao System and become a Ghost Monarch.
“But these are only contacts with the power, not with the law.
“It’s said that the laws are within the Ghost Emperor’s Underground Mansion, and possession of the Ghost Emperor’s Order grants entry into it.
“Twenty years ago, eighty-one Nether Springs suddenly shook simultaneously, and the long-lost Ghost Emperor’s Order re-emerged among the Ghost Shade, waking many slumbering Ghost Monarchs who received the Order.”
Chu Xun’s voice paused, then continued through telepathy, “This Order summoned the Ghost Monarchs and Kings to invade the Mortal World, and to establish a foothold, turning the land of the Mortal World into Yin Soil.
“The three Ghost Monarchs who transform the most Mortal World land into Yin Soil will have the opportunity to obtain the Ghost Emperor’s Order and enter the Underground Mansion, each receiving one of the three great Ghost God Tao Systems of Netherworld, Netherworld, and Reincarnation…
“Once the Order was issued, many long-silent Ghost Monarchs emerged again, and Ghost Shades in many places dispatched forces toward the Mortal World!”
“Twenty years ago…
the Ghost King’s Order, the Underground Mansion’s three inheritance traditions of Netherworld, Netherworld, and Reincarnation…”
Chen Dengming pondered these messages, recalling that twenty years ago, he had just completed his Divine Transformation, and the Demon Lord Mo Luo had not long perished.
Incidentally, the Ghost Emperor’s Order also appeared during that period.
Could there be some connections?
If there were connections, they would certainly come from Buddha Trick’s machinations.
However, if it was Buddha Trick’s doing, what exactly were the relationships between Buddha Trick, the Outer Domain Devil Lord, and the Ghost Emperor Yuan, and what was the purpose of launching the Ghost Shade invasion of the Mortal World?
Long ago, he had heard that there were deep connections between the World Buddha and Buddha Trick.
“These Hegemony Capabilities, normally as elusive as a dragon’s head but never its tail, act covertly.
Yet their every move seems to be enough to stir up great events…
What unknown secrets are they hiding from each other?”
Chen Dengming felt he was gradually getting closer to the truth, but to fully understand all the truths and prevent another disaster similar to the Outer Domain invasion, he would still need to continue cultivating to become stronger.
Only by becoming a Hegemony himself would he be able to completely clear up the situation and have the power, before Buddha Trick makes his move and stirs up a disaster, to protect himself, the people around him, and his Sect.
Chen Dengming continued to communicate with Chu Xun in spirit for a while longer.
Gradually, they confirmed that among those who had invaded the Mortal World, the Ghost Monarchs of Netherworld, Nine Nether, and Hell were currently the most successful.
Other Ghost Kings and Monarchs were merely causing minor disturbances and could not last long in the Mortal World before being driven back.
As the most senior among all Ghost Monarchs, the Ghost Monarch of the Netherworld had even attempted to seize the Ghost Emperor’s Order twenty years ago but ultimately failed.
The Ghost Emperor’s Order had appeared like a fleeting glimpse and quickly vanished into the Underworld River, never to be seen again.
“Brother Chen, if you want to know about Ghost Emperor Yuan’s affairs, I think only a few old Ghost Monarchs like the Ghost Monarch of Netherworld are aware of the details…”
“The Ghost Monarch of Netherworld…” Chen Dengming nodded slightly.
In the past, he had some debts and grudges with this Ghost Monarch of Netherworld and had once snatched two completed Spiritual Roots from him.
