Chapter 386 - 243: Descending into the Netherworld, Qilin’s Might Revealed
“A minor ghost path?”
Upon hearing the Sprite of Cave Sky’s suggestion, Feng Qing’an’s expression subtly changed, his gaze at the nine-headed serpent also differing.
“You were targeting me from the beginning, no, you were eyeing the You Huang.”
The concept of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was proposed by great powers in a very ancient era, and has only been constantly improving to date.
In other words, the Sprite of Cave Sky had known about the Six Paths of Reincarnation from the beginning; it might have had intentions the moment it saw You Huang and took the opportunity to propose them now.
“Sir, if this Cave Sky is restored, it would bring you many benefits, have a look!”
The sprite’s expression became even more sycophantic; the moment its words fell, a divine circle composed of animated texts appeared on Feng Qing’an’s wrist.
The next moment, flashes of light emerged from various places and integrated into the divine circle in Feng Qing’an’s hand; instantaneously, Feng Qing’an felt his control over this Cave Sky rise with the tide.
The sixth and seventh layers of Cave Sky, unknown to the Xiao family, were all brought under Feng Qing’an’s control at this moment; they were all handed over by the Sprite of Cave Sky.
“If you were to establish a minor ghost path, all the benefits would be in your hands. Little Nine just hopes that this Cave Sky will be quickly restored to its peak, this is a win-win situation, so please don’t blame me, sir.”
Feng Qing’an glanced at the divine circle in his hand and remained silent, but his expression became even more subtle.
This fellow didn’t need his urging, taking the initiative to hand over more control of the Cave Sky to him. The reason was obvious; it was undoubtedly the reaction elicited when the powerful Buddhist Gate that just teleported the Heavenly Dragon Monk saw him.
This fellow could read people’s emotions and facilitate his own situation, making him comparable to the human race. On the other hand, as his transformation progressed, his capacity further enhanced; even if this fellow didn’t take the initiative, Feng Qing’an would claim more control.
“What is needed to establish a minor ghost path?”
When Feng Qing’an looked up, he asked the Sprite of Cave Sky straightforwardly.
If the conditions demanded are too stringent, just ignore them. As long as this Cave Sky isn’t within his grasp and could potentially be usurped, he wouldn’t invest any effort into it, no matter how appealing the offered rewards were.
“Just throw some of the underworld ghosts that you look down on.”
The sprite said flatteringly.
The first layer of Cave Sky, Ten Thousand Demon Nation, can be considered as the animal path, the second layer, Ten Thousand Demon prison, as hell; the third layer, where the thousand-year-old Xiao clan resides and thrives, can be regarded as the human path.
What remains to be established are the Asura path, the ghost path, and the Heavenly path; there’s no need to construct them exactly as described in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, just reference the Six Path Circulation System. This will reduce the consumption of Cave Sky.
Repairing Cave Sky is not a day’s work. All that is being done is to increase sources of revenue and cut expenditure. Like increasing revenue, must be carefully planned around this revered gentleman; however, reducing expenditure can rely on the circulation system of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
“Only underworld ghosts?”
Upon hearing this request, Feng Qing’an relaxed straight away, even becoming somewhat casual as this request made it far too simple for him, or You Huang, to fulfill.
What’s most abundant in the gloom are ghost creatures which have lost their reason due to the erosion of evil and filthy qi. These are usually food or suicide squad for typical ghost kings.
But in You Huang Ghost Country, these irrational ghosts are normally immediately executed. You Huang does not tolerate ghost atrocities or incorporate such ghosts into their armies; in You Huang Ghost Country, these ghosts are superfluous.
Although in recent years, some highly revered monks have been introduced from the human realm by the Ghost Nation Master, resulting in large numbers of these irrational ghosts regaining their spirituality and an opportunity to become ghosts again.
However, as the cultivation level of Ghost Nation Master has stepped on to a new domain, allowing her governed Ghost Nation to expand in all directions, the number of irrational ghosts has drastically increased with the intensity of the wars between Ghost Nations.
With such rapid growth in numbers, even ten or so monks working around the clock, chanting day and night, they couldn’t purify them all. And due to the rules set by the Ghost Nation Master herself, the ever-increasing number of irrational ghosts is becoming a big headache for You Huang Ghost Country.
Feng Qing’an had casually heard this from You Huang. When he now heard the demand of the Sprite of Cave Sky, a thought sprang up in his heart, thinking about stuffing those ghosts, increasingly difficult for You Huang Ghost Country to deal with, into the Cave Sky, well, that would be a win-win situation.
“Yes, sir, you just need to capture some ghosts from the gloom, the more the better.”
Observing Feng Qing’an’s expression, the Sprite of Cave Sky knew Feng Qing’an had agreed and was willing to do this. It pushed on to make further demands, not missing an inch.
“Do you have any special requirements for the ghosts?”
“No, just any ghost will do.”
The Sprite of Cave Sky hurriedly answered, it didn’t dare to make any extra demands at this point, having Feng Qing’an agree was already a blessing for the sprite.
“Even an irrational fierce ghost would do?”
“Definitely, we don’o discriminate, we just requires quantity.”
Asking this respectable old master for spectral souls was merely to transform them into fertilizer to repair Cave Sky through the circulation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Nobody cares whether they have spirituality, there’s not a bit of difference.
