Chapter 675 An Opportunity Like Ascension to Immortality! Risking Everything!
Hao Ji is the essence; the so-called immortal soul is nothing more than the obsession she held back then.

Once the obsession is abandoned, Hao Ji's immortal soul will also vanish under the influence of the fearful thoughts of countless living beings.

Having guessed Hao Ji's background, Luo Fu said, "How many terrifying monsters are there in the island nation? Could Hao Ji be an incarnation of them?"

"This..." Xiaoqian was speechless for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Master, this question is a bit difficult for me. There are too many to count. What is certain is that Hanako is definitely her. In addition, Kayako, Sadako, Shirai and other famous demons, even if they are not incarnations of Gohime, are definitely related to her, because these demons are more or less related to the Tsuchimikado family."

Luo Fu was somewhat astonished. This Hao Ji was practically all-powerful in Japan.

Those terrifying demons that have killed countless people could all be incarnations of Hao Ji. No wonder Hao Ji is said to have an immortal soul.

Who has the ability to wipe out all the evil spirits suspected to be the incarnation of the Princess of the Island in a short period of time?

It's not that even powerful forces like Kunlun in the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld can't do it, but rather that it would be a losing proposition.

Trying to eliminate all of Gouki's incarnations would be tantamount to turning the entire island nation upside down.

Those evil spirits don't just exist in the island nation itself; countless other dimensions anchored there also harbor countless incarnations of powerful princesses.

Rather than undertaking such a massive and daunting task, eliminating all of Hao Ji's avatars to resolve her undying soul, it would be simpler to just make her relinquish her obsession.

Among these evil spirits that wreak havoc on the island nation, it's not that all female ghosts could be incarnations of Gouki, but rather that any ghost with a connection to the Tsuchimikado family would inevitably have their accumulated fear and other spiritual energy become part of the force supporting Gouki's immortal soul.

Hearing about the situation in the island nation, Su Yue, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is simply a hell on earth!"

Luo Fu's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Su Yue and said, "This is a good place for you."

Su Yue was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized that he was practicing the Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique taught by Luo Fu, which had an almost special attack effect on those dead souls and evil spirits.

Although in this world, the ability to bind and command spirits cannot achieve the same supreme control over all spirits as in the world of otherworldly beings, it is still a supreme method for dealing with evil spirits.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Yue said, "Boss, do you want me to reopen the consulting firm here, specifically targeting those evil spirits?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Luo Fu shook his head and said, "Hao Ji can rely on those evil spirits to possess a near-immortal soul. Even if this immortality is largely unreliable, for your wife, these evil spirits are practically a great tonic."

If it were simply about solving problems for the island nation, Su Yue would probably be somewhat reluctant. But when it comes to his wife Qingqing, Su Yue's initiative is probably even greater than that of an ox or a horse.

"Boss, how can Qingqing obtain that immortal soul?" Su Yue asked impatiently.

"Don't even think about such good things," Luo Fu retorted. "An immortal soul isn't that simple. The right path is to cultivate step by step, steadily improving the essence of your soul. The true way is to follow the path of a ghost immortal, and then specialize in cultivating a spiritual immortal. That's the way to go. For you two, it's a mutually beneficial path."

"What about me? What should I do?"

Just as Luo Fu and Su Yue were discussing how to deal with the evil spirits in the island nation who were suspected to be incarnations of powerful women, Zhou Jie, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Luo Fu raised an eyebrow as he looked at Zhou Jie.

This spoiled rich girl seemed like a completely different person when she was in the world inside the bottle.

It is evident that her experience of not having an identity during this period in the real world has truly brought about a huge change in her personality.

After a moment's thought, Luo Fu said, "I can give you a choice. As for going back to the beginning, that's impossible now, because that world in the bottle has been completely destroyed and no longer exists."

Both Zhou Jie and the Su Yue couple's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

Although they left the world inside the bottle, it's impossible for them to have no attachment or ties to the world they once lived in.

Sensing the thoughts of the two humans and the ghost, Xiaoqian said, "It was Master who saved you. Without Master, you would have vanished with the destruction of the world long ago."

After experiencing the impact of the real world on themselves.

Neither Su Yue and his wife nor Zhou Jie could accept that they had fallen back into an illusory existence.

It's not that everything in the bottle is fake; it's just that compared to the real world, the bottle is like a first dimension.

Entering the real world from low latitudes to high latitudes is, in some ways, almost like an opportunity to ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

Before truly experiencing the transformative power that the real world brings to their lives, Su Yue and his wife, along with Zhou Jie, may still feel a lingering attachment to the world inside the bottle.

But now, although they still retain the memories of what they once experienced, putting aside those memories and entering the real world from the world in the bottle is like evolving from a monkey into a human all at once.

Although they clearly understood that everything they experienced in the world inside the bottle was no different from the real world, they never wanted to fall back into the illusion.

It should be understood that people who come from poor backgrounds can never go back to their former lives once they become rich and powerful.

Many wealthy people, when faced with bankruptcy liquidation, would rather jump off a building than accept reality, even if they don't necessarily end up with nothing or be insolvent after bankruptcy liquidation, they still cannot accept it.

If worldly wealth is like this, then it's even more true for this kind of ascension, rising from illusion to reality.

This has nothing to do with emotion, but is the instinct of any living being.

Zhou Jie composed herself and mustered her courage to say, "I...I want to stay by your side, just like...just like Xiaoqian."

Zhou Jie knew very well that she was different from Su Yue and his wife; the other couple were doing it for each other's love.

However, in a moment of impulsiveness, she first created a karmic connection with the senior in red, causing Wang Yu's death, and then completely sacrificed herself for Luo Fu.

After witnessing extraordinary power, Zhou Jie understood that sometimes, this might not be a bad thing, but rather a blessing in disguise.

She knew very well that in this strange, extraordinary world, she couldn't go far by relying on herself.

Since that's the case, then we might as well gamble everything.

Faced with Zhou Jie's almost obvious request.

Seeing Luo Fu remain silent, Xiao Qian took the initiative to say, "I will make arrangements for you tonight. You may have made this decision on impulse, but I must remind you that there will be no chance to go back on your word. Otherwise, even if your master feels sorry for you, I will not let you off the hook."

Relieved, Zhou Jie seemed to finally blush with shyness, lowered her head, and nodded.

"Then...then I'll stay here tonight?"

"Of course," Xiaoqian smiled.

Zhou Jie was merely a side story; for Luo Fu, the most important thing was still Hao Ji's incarnations that sustained her immortal soul. This occurred after Luo Fu took Zhou Jie in and began targeting Hao Ji's incarnations.

In urban villages in China.

As darkness fell, Su Yue, Zhou Jie, and the others still hadn't returned.

Xia Dongqing and Jiutian Xuannv were getting impatient.

"Xiaoya, we can't just keep waiting like this, can we? Why don't we ask the landlord? Maybe the landlord knows where they went," Xia Dongqing said helplessly.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, her face dark, nodded, clenched her fist, and said, "Damn it, they made us wait so long. Let's go ask the landlord."

As expected, even if they found the landlord, they wouldn't be able to find out Su Yue and Zhou Jie's whereabouts through him.

After all, landlords of these low-rent apartments in urban villages don't care about anything. Even if someone dies in the room, unless the death happens to coincide with the rent payment period, the landlord might not even know if the tenant has been dead for several days.

For Jiutian Xuannv and Xia Dongqing, they did receive some good news from the landlord.

That is to say, Su Yue, Zhou Jie, and the others have indeed not checked out yet.

In the time that followed, Jiutian Xuannv and Xia Dongqing became completely absorbed in the low-rent housing in this urban village.

They were supposed to clock in regularly, but not everyone showed up. As time went by and it was almost time to pay the rent, Su Yue and Zhou Jie were still nowhere to be found.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Xia Dongqing waited so long, only to end up paying the rent for Su Yue and Zhou Jie for nothing.

This time, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could no longer tolerate it.

Of course, the landlords also started to worry. As long as the tenants paid the rent on time, the landlords didn't care about anything else.

But Su Yue and Zhou Jie's situation was too special. Not only did they disappear inexplicably, but Jiutian Xuannv and Xia Dongqing also seemed to be staking out the place, coming over every day.

From the landlord's perspective, there's clearly something wrong here.

The last thing a landlord wants to see is trouble arising.

After some less-than-friendly discussions, Xia Dongqing and Jiutian Xuannv, along with Su Yue and Zhou Jie's belongings, reluctantly left the urban village.

"Xiaoya, what do we do now?" Xia Dongqing said helplessly, "We've been wasting several days already. We can't just keep Zhao Li in the mental hospital forever if we can't find Su Yue and Zhou Jie, can we? This isn't a solution. Can't we think of other ways to find Luofu?"

Of course, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden hadn't forgotten that the two of them had been staking out the urban village for so long, waiting for their prey. Their ultimate goal wasn't Su Yue and Zhou Jie, but to find Luo Fu through them.

But now, without even a clue, even the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is helpless.

Her expression changed for a moment, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "Forget it, there's nothing we can do if we can't find it. We'll just have to do it ourselves."

Deep down, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not want Xia Dongqing to come into contact with Luofu.

The reason is simple: one has the remnant soul of Chi You in his body, and the other has directly inherited the power of the human demon Chi You. Who knows what will happen when the two are combined?
What if this directly leads to Chi You's resurrection? Wouldn't that be the end of us?
Since that's the case, why not just find a way to solve Zhao Li's problem ourselves?

Ultimately, the fact that Luo Fu altered his past, as Zhao Li claimed, was not the culprit behind his admission to the mental hospital.

The real reason was the impact of past changes, which occurred directly during the battle, causing Zhao Li to be attacked.

In comparison, it would be simpler to directly solve Zhao Li's problem.

Even if all else fails, can't we just shift the blame for Zhao Li's problem to the underworld?
Others might not know Zhao Li's identity, but how could the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden not know? Zhao Li was essentially the underworld, setting up a safeguard for the remnant soul of Chi You within Xia Dongqing's body.

It's impossible for the underworld to let Xia Dongqing run rampant.

Under the current circumstances, Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing still embarked on the predetermined path.

He secretly infiltrated the mental hospital, resolved Zhao Li's problems, and also had his first encounter with Hao Ji.

For Hao Ji, Xia Dongqing and Jiutian Xuannv rescuing Zhao Li was nothing more than an insignificant setback.

In Hao Ji's eyes, Zhao Li was of little value.

Yes, Zhao Li, a dignified ghost messenger, was of little value in Hao Ji's eyes.

The reason is that the souls of beings like ghost messengers and soul ferrymen are controlled by the King of the Underworld.

In Hao Ji's plan, unless Zhao Li explicitly stands on the opposite side, his existence is irrelevant.

Even if Zhao Li is left to his own devices, one day Hao Ji could take advantage of the fact that the ghost messenger has no soul and tempt Zhao Li to turn against her.

After a brief exchange between the two sides, Xia Dongqing unsurprisingly became Zhao Li's sworn brother, tasked with helping Zhao Li guide eighty-one souls into the underworld in order for them to be resurrected and brought back to life.

As the pendulum trio methodically performed the script.

The doll that was actually Hao Ji, who hadn't left the mental hospital but had instead hidden in the basement of this abandoned mental hospital, suddenly trembled for a moment.

"Mother," Dr. Lin, the one from the mental hospital when Zhao Li was hospitalized, asked with a worried tone, "What happened?"

This Dr. Lin is actually an Onmyoji from the Tsuchimikado family. Although he calls Gohime his mother, he is not very enthusiastic about Gohime's idea of ​​resurrecting Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Instead, he was determined to revive Hao Ji so that he could marry her.

That's right.

Although he addresses Hao Ji as "Mother," Dr. Lin secretly desires to marry her.

"Ichiro," Gouki's voice came from the Hanako doll, "Contact the Tsuchimikado family immediately. Someone is targeting my avatar left in the island nation."

"This..." Dr. Lin, or rather, Tsuchimikado Ichiro, showed obvious surprise on his face. "How is this possible, Mother? Every incarnation you left in the island nation bears the mark of our Tsuchimikado family. Ordinary exorcists simply do not have the courage to be enemies with the Tsuchimikado family."

Hao Ji made no attempt to explain.

Seeing this, Dr. Lin could only say, "Mother, I will contact the island nation right away."
