Chapter 2188: Chapter 2188: Power of the Jade Sword
"Ignorant child, you don’t even know what a Titled Godhood is?"
The Old Ghost Woman scorned Ye Haochuan before explaining, "After the True Immortal Realm, there is the God Realm. Only the strongest in the God Realm qualify to attain the Divine Position. Upon receiving the title of a Divine Position, one can transcend the God Realm and surpass all gods."
"So, does that mean Titled Godhood is a realm?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.
"No!" the Old Ghost Woman retorted, "The Divine Position, to be precise, is a Super Treasure that can greatly enhance the strength of its possessor. In the entire Immortal Realm, there are only seven Divine Positions."
"That sounds somewhat similar to the Heavenly Emissary Clan’s statue!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but remark.
"I don’t know what this statue you’re talking about is, but the Divine Position is a Super Treasure that transcends the entire world. It’s surely not something ordinary that can be compared to it!" the Old Ghost Woman replied solemnly.
After speaking, she glanced at Ye Haochuan again, then shook her head and said, "Look at your low cultivation level, why bother asking about these? Someone like you, a mere mortal, can exhaust a lifetime and still never reach the heights of a Titled Godhood; knowing about it is of no benefit."
Jeez, she’s looking down on my talent, but I’m a super genius, okay?
Ye Haochuan felt indignant in his heart and was about to argue when he heard the Old Ghost Woman, with a half-smile, say, "Don’t think that Hidden Divine Physique is so impressive; it can only get you to the God Realm at most. If you want to compare with my young lady, you’ve got a long way to go."
Having his physique exposed with just a glance, Ye Haochuan had no room for rebuttal and could only spitefully look at Liu Xianglan again, wanting to see what a physique stronger than his looked like.
"Don’t look at my young lady with those lecherous eyes; she’s not someone of your level that you can touch!" The Old Ghost Woman, somewhat dissatisfied, directly stretched out a ghostly claw and covered Ye Haochuan’s eyes.
Not letting me look? I’ve seen it so many times before, okay?
Ye Haochuan thought angrily in his heart.
The Old Ghost Woman seemed to be able to see through his mind. Her face suddenly darkened.
Ye Haochuan only felt a chill down his spine, and his hair stood on end.
Only to hear the Old Ghost Woman say in a deep voice, "With the young lady helping you out, I spared your life until now, but if you dare to have the slightest desecrating thoughts about the young lady again, I will make sure you fall on the spot."
Damn, how did I forget? This ghost thing can absorb people’s souls; it probably can also peek into souls!
Ye Haochuan was horrified in his heart and quickly dispelled any inappropriate thoughts in his mind, lest the Old Ghost Woman use it against him.
As for the Old Ghost Woman’s prowess, Ye Haochuan was very fearful in his heart. He felt that even the might of Shentu Fu might not be comparable to this Old Ghost Woman.
If it weren’t for Liu Xianglan’s timely intervention, he feared that even if he had ten lives, they would all be lost to the Old Ghost Woman.
"Young Chap Ye, I am currently at a critical point in merging with my true form; you’d better leave first. I remember the kindness of the past in my heart; I will definitely repay you when there’s an opportunity in the future!" Liu Xianglan suddenly said.
"Young Chap Ye?" This form of address made Ye Haochuan start.
He used to feel uncomfortable hearing the term "husband," but suddenly switching from "husband" to "Young Chap Ye," he was somewhat unaccustomed to it again.
Nevertheless, it’s ultimately good that Liu Xianglan has regained her memories. The only pity is that Ye Haochuan didn’t have the chance to claim her the moment she was reborn.
After nurturing over a hundred generations, complete integration is clearly no simple task.
Ye Haochuan understood and didn’t want to interrupt Liu Xianglan’s matters, but...
"By the way, since we’re acquaintances, shouldn’t you return my Soul Power?" Ye Haochuan said with a mournful face, looking at the Old Ghost Woman.
"Uh..."
The Old Ghost Woman seemed somewhat reluctant, but Liu Xianglan said, "Indeed it should. Not only the Soul Power, since you brought me here, I ought to show some gesture as well."
As she spoke, Liu Xianglan took out a piece of bluestone from her ring and handed it to Ye Haochuan, "This stone contains a profound Sword Path Secret Art; how much you can comprehend depends on your aptitude!"
Ye Haochuan took the bluestone and had yet to speak when he heard the Old Ghost Woman exclaim in surprise, "Miss, this cultivation technique is..."
The Old Ghost Woman didn’t finish her sentence before being stopped by Liu Xianglan’s gesture.
Liu Xianglan seemed unwilling to say much more, turning to enter the door, leaving only a casual line, "Quickly return his Soul Power, and remember to add some interest."
On her skeletal face, the Old Ghost Woman displayed a strangely pained expression. From her domain, it was always a matter of no return, and now to have to return the newly acquired Soul Power, and even give back more, she was very unwilling in her heart.
However, under the pressure of the young lady, the Old Ghost Woman painfully obliged.
The next moment, the Old Ghost Woman reached out her ghostly claw again to grab Ye Haochuan’s head, fully returning the Soul Power and even enhancing Ye Haochuan considerably, his soul strength directly reaching the early stage of the True Immortal Realm.
Having done all this, the Old Ghost Woman’s head quickly melted into the door, which closed swiftly, returning to its original appearance.
Ye Haochuan felt that everything just now was like a dream.
Liu Xianglan obtaining a new body in this way was something Ye Haochuan had never expected. Moreover, it seemed that Liu Xianglan would have a very promising future.
As for himself, he had unexpectedly gained a blessing in disguise, with increased Soul Power and a sword art.
Though he hadn’t yet witnessed the power of this sword art, seeing the Old Ghost Woman’s reaction earlier, it must certainly not be ordinary.
Seems like coming in truly was the right decision.
After a long time, Ye Haochuan finally suppressed his inner joy and was just about to step away when he saw the skeleton not far away.
With excitement in his eyes, Ye Haochuan hurried over and picked up the Jade Sword.
The Jade Sword felt warm to the touch yet emitted an air of sharpness.
Ye Haochuan excitedly swung it, but at that moment, he just felt the Flower Energy within him being completely extracted and poured into the Jade Sword.
Subsequently, the Jade Sword quivered slightly, emitting an invisible force that rippled out.
"This is...the method the mummy used earlier?" Ye Haochuan was taken aback with horror.
But before he could observe the resulting destruction of this strike, he felt his energy entirely drained from him, and his vision blackened as he fell into a deep slumber.
This sleep lasted more than ten days.
When Ye Haochuan groggily awoke, he felt an extraordinary ache all over his body and found himself incredibly thin, like a starved skeleton for centuries.
He struggled to retrieve a few pills from his ring and popped them into his mouth. As the pills went down his throat, warmth flowed throughout his body, finally making Ye Haochuan feel some return of strength.
As he looked at the Jade Sword in his hand again, Ye Haochuan was filled with fear.
This Jade Sword was simply a devil; just using it once almost cost him his life.
However, upon seeing the power of that one strike, he was dumbfounded.
"Incredible...so powerful!" Ye Haochuan stared dumbfounded at the sword marks spreading across the wall, amazed.
