dejected fairy

Chapter 528: Public opinion causes confusion, spirit hurts the ghost

"This is really a reputational loss."

After collecting all these comments, Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, but he was not in a bad mood. Having reached his level of cultivation, what he pursued was to go further. As for the gossip of others, it was no longer important unless it could affect his path of cultivation.

For him now, his primary goal is to comprehend and understand the remains of the ancient gods, find the connection between this dark remains and the ancient corpse in the starry sky, and try to recombine the two to gain further power.

To achieve this goal, the other...

"Ok?"

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this and wanted to laugh off those derogatory remarks, the power that was vaguely in line with his will, which wanted him to gain temporary control over the remains of the ancient gods as if he were living in an ancient corpse, suddenly fluctuated!
"Something is wrong! Is this... the discussion of that group of people affecting the causal foundation that I have implanted in this world? It has further disturbed my status in this world. I am actually somewhat rejected by this ancient god's remains!?"

In just a moment, Chen Yuan understood the root of the problem and was shocked!
"These rumors can actually affect cultivation!"

He was just getting excited when a warning sign suddenly broke out in his heart. Then a strange black shadow came whistling and rushed out from that blurry world, heading straight for Chen Yuan's will that was rejected and shaken by this world!

Cold ghost energy! Cold murderous intent! Powerful magical power!
It was actually a hand with sharp fingers, pointing directly at Chen Yuan's will that had infiltrated the misty world!

But the next moment, Chen Yuan's mind was like fire, and a ghost face emerged from it. He opened his mouth and spit out a projection of an imaginary god!

The slender ghost hand quickly retracted as if avoiding a snake or scorpion!
Chen Yuan calmed his mind and looked at the person who came over.

He was a skinny man with white hair. He looked young, but he gave off an air of vicissitudes of life. He was surrounded by a sinister aura and a cold air. Wherever he was, ghosts would breed around him!

A strange aura that is consistent with the ghost way and compatible with ghosts is floating in all directions!

There was an indescribable aura of incense and humanity entwined all over his body, wrapping around his torso and limbs like a chain!

Ghost Lord!

Chen Yuan recognized the other person's identity instantly.

He had entered the misty world several times and had discovered long ago that in this world, there was a native immortal who had attained the Tao and was called the Ghost Lord.

This ghost master was the one that Chen Yuan had sensed from afar that day. He was another true immortal figure besides the Taoist sword immortal. This person's face was full of murderous intent, his breath was cold, and deathly aura was rising around him, but there was also a gathering of spiritual energy, which gave him a sense of unity between man and nature.

But outside of this harmonious atmosphere, the rhythm was disrupted by the sound of incense burning.

Although Chen Yuan's mind was rejected, he still resonated with this world. At this moment, he glanced around and noticed the peculiarity of this ghost master——

"This person's ghostly aura is as transparent as colored glaze, and there is spiritual energy flowing through his body, which is in harmony with the heaven and earth. His foundation is even more in harmony with the heaven and earth. This Dao-harmony method does not seem to be a breakthrough, but rather a return. It is clearly the way of the innate Dao body, but..."

He glanced at the scent of incense on the other person and couldn't help frowning.

"Why would a Taoist with a natural body want to cultivate the way of incense for no reason? Don't you know that incense is poisonous and can contaminate a Taoist body? This is simply putting the cart before the horse and buying the casket and returning the pearl!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan asked, "What is your name? Why did you attack me for no reason? There should be no grudges between you and me." The ghost master said coldly, "You hurt my best friend, and you still ask me why I attacked you?"

"Your best friend?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes. His mind had been confused twice. Although he had experienced some fighting, he had always controlled his level of cultivation. He had never reached the realm of True Immortal, so how could he hurt the best friend of the enemy?
Unless the close friend mentioned by this person has a low level of cultivation, and the two of them are not friends based on status or cultivation, or...

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately asked, "Is that Taoist swordsman your best friend?"

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Hu helped me to understand my mind and led me to the path of incense and fire, allowing me to awaken my true self in this confused world and become a true god. He has been very kind to me in teaching and achieving enlightenment! But you, a traitor, harmed me. How can I let you go!"

When the ghost master failed in his attack, he quickly distanced himself from Chen Yuan, his eyes full of vigilance and fear, but he was obviously not ready to leave.

When Chen Yuan heard what the other party said, his expression became strange, so he asked: "You said that he led you to the path of incense and fire? You still regard him as a close friend?"

“That’s right!” The ghost master had a gloomy expression. Although he looked ghostly, he seemed to have a sincere heart. Hearing this, he did not doubt anything else and said, “The sword master is a kind person. Although he comes from the fairyland outside the sky, he has no prejudice. He not only did not hide the extremely precious Shinto method from me, but also helped me practice!”

He spoke more and more at this time. Although he was hostile to Chen Yuan, he also looked him squarely at him. Knowing that he was of equal status to himself, he revealed a lot of information: "You, a person from the immortal world, don't know how difficult it is to practice in this confusing world! Not only is it possible that your mind and thoughts will be eroded by the confusion of the mortal world if you are not careful, but if you are not careful, the originally accumulated power of sorrow and joy in the world will also dissipate in an instant and no longer remain! Perhaps hundreds or thousands of years of hard work will be dissipated in one day! Therefore, in this confusing world, whether you can overcome all obstacles and rise to a higher level of realm depends on luck! If you are lucky, you will not encounter bad luck, but you will be trembling and treading on thin ice; if you are unlucky, thousands of years of hard work will be dissipated in one day!"

His face showed a look of reminiscence and regret: "There are actually quite a few natural spirits like me, but only a few can truly practice. Too many people have fallen along the way, and I should have been the next one, but with the help of the Sword Master, I was able to reverse my fate! Such a great kindness, how can I ignore it? Even if I have to give up my life, what's the harm?"

"You are a man of integrity and righteousness, but it's a pity that you are still helping others count their money even after being sold out." After hearing this, Chen Yuan shook his head and sighed. After all, honest people are easy to be fooled if they don't have much experience.

The Ghost Master was furious: "What do you mean? Not only do you want to defeat my best friend, but you also want to slander him with words?"

Then, he stretched out his claws, and there was an eerie aura, ghosts crying and wolves howling. Under the urging and support of the incense and people's thoughts, the shadows of countless evil spirits transformed into countless hideous and twisted monsters. Each of them was between reality and illusion, and possessed power of at least the level of Yang God. They rushed towards Chen Yuan with their fangs and claws, roaring like a tsunami!
"Sure enough, if we want both parties to talk calmly, we still have to defeat the other party first."

Sighing again, Chen Yuan's will began to tumble in that hazy world. Although he was harmed because of his reputation and vaguely rejected by the remains of the ancient gods, even the causal foundation of his existence in the Jade Stele Realm was shaken, but in the end he was still connected and could still interfere in this world. At this time, he used his authority to gather enough essence of heaven and earth from this world.

Then, under the incredulous gaze of the ghost lord, Chen Yuan wrapped a wisp of will with the essence of heaven and earth, and condensed a monster body!
Then, the body's profound energy started to operate, resonating with the heaven and earth, and then absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. In an instant, it broke through its own natural shackles, its momentum suddenly expanded, and it burst out with power beyond imagination!
He grabbed it with one hand!
Boom!

The countless ghost shadows that swarmed in were instantly shattered, and even the ghost master was hit by the aftermath, causing cracks to appear in his natural Taoist body that was mixed with incense and human thoughts. Even the cultivation base in his body was severely damaged in an instant, and his momentum dropped!
But He could no longer care about these things. He looked at Chen Yuan in doubt and asked in a trembling voice: "How...how did you do it?"

"Have you ever thought that your original path of cultivation should have been smoother? Not only could you have taken fewer detours, but you could have even had a chance to find those companions who fell on the road?"

While Chen Yuan was speaking, the body of the monster, which had just condensed and temporarily broke through to the level of True Immortal, began to crack everywhere and was about to collapse.

"The reason why you ended up like this is that you took the wrong path from the beginning and used the wrong method. Or, once you succeeded in this path, your achievements were too high, so you encountered many disasters. Of course, perhaps even the fact that you fell one after another was itself a part of your practice."

He looked down at his crumbling hands and shook his head. "Sure enough, a makeshift body cannot last long because it lacks a complete structure. Creating the world and the soul is not an easy task."

"What do you mean?"

The ghost master's mind was completely confused.
