Chapter 464: Bing Lan’s Strangeness
On the main stage, Yu Nianzhen was still meditating.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue took a long look and then turned away.
’If Lin Huang goes to the Ten Thousand Beasts world, her body will either be seized or exploited. However, everything is up to her.’ Jiang Yue thought and narrowed his eyes.
Although he didn’t want Lin Huang or other talented people to abandon the Cangxing world, he wouldn’t force them to stay if they insisted on leaving.
If Lin Huang wanted to leave, Jiang Yue would let her leave.
However, if she wanted to stay, the Cangxing Mountain would do its best to protect her.
’There is still one hundred years to figure it out. Let’s keep an eye on the situation for the time being.’
With that, Jiang Yue sighed and adjusted his information placard to show he was ready to receive more challengers.
.....
On another platform, Bing Lan opened her eyes and stood up.
Soon after, an elderly female cultivator jumped onto her small martial stage.
"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to challenge me?" Bing Lan asked and the opponent nodded.
A moment later, she paid the challenge fee and retreated further from Bing Lan.
"My name is Sheng Meng and I am from the Spirit Eye World." The female cultivator introduced herself.
"It’s nice to meet the fellow Daoist." Bing Lan said and bowed to the elderly cultivator.
However, her heart was not as calm as her face.
From the information in the Cangxing Mountain library, she knew about the Spirit Eye World.
Like the Ten Thousand Beasts World, the Spirit Eye World was also a top-grade world.
Most importantly, cultivators from the Spirit Eye world were uniquely gifted in divination and observing fate.
If it was before she broke through to the reincarnation realm, she wouldn’t think too much if such a person came out to challenge her.
However, everything changed when she broke through to the reincarnation realm...
"Fellow Daoist Bing doesn’t need to be afraid." Sheng Meng said and casually waved her hand.
A moment later, a kind of transparent barrier enclosed the small martial stage.
"What do you want to do?" Bing Lan asked with a panic-filled voice.
"Don’t worry, I don’t want to do anything." Sheng Meng raised her arms in self-defence.
"I just want to make sure that others can’t hear our conversation."
Hearing this, Bing Lan was not assured.
She stared at Sheng Meng with a pleading look in her eyes but the other just smiled.
A moment later, she closed her ordinary eyes and a third eye appeared between her eyebrows.
"You should know that you can’t survive the first reincarnation tribulation." Sheng Meng said and Bing Lan felt like she was thrown in a bottomless ice pit.
.....
A few stages away, Li Futian looked at Bing Lan’s stage and sighed.
Originally, he only had a vague idea and didn’t really understand the true situation.
However, when he broke through to the reincarnation realm, his ability increased and a lot of things became clear.
Unfortunately, some fate could not be changed and what was to come would definitely come.
’It’s a pity but this is their fate.’ He lamented and then turned to the opponent who had just stepped onto his martial stage.
"Let’s fight." The person said.
The person was a young man of about similar age.
He had a sunny disposition and a cheerful smile that made people happy when they saw him.
However, Li Futian was not fooled.
When he broke through to the reincarnation realm, he became able to see other people’s luck.
The luck he saw was a colourful aura that always accompanied a cultivator.
Depending on the colour of the aura, Li Futian could deduce a person’s luck and their karmic entanglements.
Looking at the person in front of him, all Li Futian saw was black.
The sunny man had a black aura and was entangled in dense black threads.
’He should be an extremely evil cultivator.’ Li Futian thought with a frown on his face.
"There is no need to show mercy." Li Futian muttered and the sunny boy looked at him curiously.
"Did fellow Daoist Li say something?" The sunny boy asked.
"No, let’s fight." Li Futian said and retreated a few metres away.
"Fellow Daoist Li is direct, I like that." The sunny man chuckled but a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
A moment later, he released a ghost banner and terrible howling filled the martial stage.
Hearing this, Li Futian clenched his hands and looked at the ghost banner.
At a glance, more than one thousand souls were trapped in the ghost banner.
When mortals died, their souls went to the underworld for reincarnation.
However, once in a while, a mortal’s obsession could allow their souls to linger in the human world.
Without a cultivator’s interference, such souls could only linger for a short time before dissipating.
If a ghost cultivator intervened, the souls could be cultivated into ghosts but their potential was limited.
However, a cultivator’s soul was different.
A cultivator’s soul had infinite potential and could be refined endlessly.
In most cases, ghost cultivators killed cultivators and then sealed their souls in the ghost banner to cultivate.
However, there was another breed of ghost cultivator that was extraordinarily cruel.
This kind of ghost cultivator raised ghosts like a gu cultivator raised gu worms.
After brutally killing a large number of cultivators, the ghost cultivator would seal their souls in a special ghost banner.
Considering the circumstances of their death, these souls had a lot of resentment towards the ghost cultivator.
Unfortunately, this resentment was the gateway to their miserable fate.
Rather than eliminate the resentment, the ghost cultivator would encourage it and even find ways to enhance it.
In the end, the ghost cultivator would subtly divert the resentment from himself to the other souls in the banner.
After doing this, he would influence the souls to kill and cannibalise each other.
In this way, the souls would be transformed from ordinary souls to extremely ferocious ghosts that were obedient to the ghost cultivator.
Thinking of the process of refining ferocious ghosts, Li Futian couldn’t help but frown.
"Fellow Daoist Li is frowning a lot. Is something wrong?" The sunny cultivator asked with a cheerful smile on his face.
’This kind of evil creature cannot be kept.’ Lu Futian thought but forcibly calmed himself.
Although he wanted to kill the evil cultivator, he understood that he couldn’t.
After all, the evil faction in the Reincarnation World was an extremely domineering force.
If someone wanted to kill an evil cultivator, the best way was to do it secretly to avoid implicating their world mountain.
However, Li Futian was not above charging a small interest.
Since the person delivered himself to the door, Li Futian would definitely give him a big gift.
Thinking of this, Li Futian smiled.
"What can be wrong?" He asked with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Seeing the smile, the sunny man narrowed his eyes.
Originally, he was just playing around and doing whatever he wanted.
However, Li Futian’s smile made him a little wary.
After all, celestial masters were not easy to mess with.
’Was I too impulsive?’ He couldn’t help but wonder.
There were many small stages in the arena but when he looked, Li Futian’s was one of few that hadn’t been challenged.
At first, he didn’t think about the reason and directly came to the stage.
When he saw the information placard, he understood why other cultivators were avoiding the challenge.
However, the sunny man wasn’t too worried.
He felt there was nothing to fear from a low-grade world celestial master.
If it was a celestial master from the Spirit Eye world or other high-grade worlds, the sunny man would have never dared.
Thinking about it now, he felt he was too impulsive.
In the end, it didn’t matter where a celestial master came from.
They were all strange and their methods were too terrifying.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.
Since he was already riding a tiger, the sunny man could only do his best and hope there wouldn’t be any lasting consequences.
Fortunately for Li Futian, the sunny man didn’t think about surrendering.
If the person surrendered, Li Futian would not be reconciled.
After all, he had already seen the ghost banner and the young man’s black aura.
No matter what, Li Futian wanted to seek some sort of revenge for the wronged souls.
Although the souls had long become evil ghosts, their original nature was most likely not evil.
’This duel is just in time to help me try some of my new abilities.’ Li Futian thought and a brilliant smile brightened his face.
Seeing the sunny man shuddered.
At this point, he could no longer maintain his sunny smile and always felt that he was about to face a terrible disaster.
In a panic, he waved his ghost banner and ten ferocious ghosts rushed towards Li Futian.
