Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 104: Beyond the Three Realms, Outside the Five Elements

At this point, Zhongli glanced at the ghost again and fell into deep thought.

The second awakening of one's original martial soul requires teetering on the edge of life and death to comprehend the true meaning of the human body.

Ghost is someone who has died once. His martial soul, amplified by the immortal herb, has actually undergone a second awakening, but is stuck at a certain point.

This is similar to when Yu Xiaogang awakened his martial soul. His bloodline power transcended, but due to his own shortcomings, his martial soul failed to fully awaken.

They have awakened, but not fully awakened.

Thinking of this, Zhongli touched it and said calmly, "From a generally rational point of view, your situation is a little complicated."

Upon hearing this, Gui Mei and Yue Guan trembled, their faces turning pale. They exchanged a glance, a wave of sorrow washing over them.

Is the situation a bit complicated?

Is it impossible to achieve a second awakening?

The second awakening of the martial spirit is an opportunity for Ghost and Chrysanthemum to greatly enhance their combat power and strength, and it is also their chance to truly stand up.

Has this opportunity already been thwarted before it even began?

Before the two could say anything, Zhong Li continued, "You will find it easier to complete the second awakening of your physical spirit than other physical spirit masters."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were completely dumbfounded, their eyelids twitching wildly.

The two of them opened their mouths slightly, looked at Zhongli, and hesitated to speak.

If they didn't need his help, or if they weren't outmatched, they would have jumped up and slapped Zhong Li across the face.

He's not that scary!

Can you speak a little faster?

Can you?! Ah!

It truly gave the two of them a fright...

"Grandpa Yueguan, why do you look a little unhappy?"

Paimon held a piece of osmanthus cake in both hands, looked up, and asked Yue Guan with a puzzled expression.

Isn't it a good thing that it's easier?

Of course, this was because she was used to Zhongli's speaking speed, which is why she listened carefully to what Zhongli said and then fell into thought.

What bad intentions could the little guy possibly have?

The ghostly face was hidden beneath the black robe, making it impossible for Paimon to see clearly.

If she could see the ghost's face, she would probably be trembling with fear, but that's all.

From a human perspective, the ghost's face is completely inhuman.

Yue Guan's eye twitched, then he immediately forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said, "Little Paimon, you've misunderstood. I'm just so happy!"

Isn't that right?

At this moment, both Gui Mei and Yue Guan were very happy.

She just hasn't recovered from the shock of the previous incident.

Is it easier for a Soul Master to achieve a second awakening of their physical body compared to others?

So, this immense wealth has fallen into the hands of ghosts and demons?

"happy?"

Paimon took a bite of the osmanthus cake, his eyes still filled with doubt.

Is there any way to express happiness that's uglier than crying?

Upon seeing this, Zhongli simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

Sigh, we're all getting on in years, why are we so restless?

Can't everyone just calm down a little?

Thousands of years of cultivation are something that Yue Guan and ghosts cannot compare to.

"Please explain, Your Majesty, what should I do?"

The ghost cupped its hands in a respectful gesture and spoke with utmost sincerity.

No Soul Master can resist the temptation to become stronger, especially those who have reached the peak.

Even knowing that there is a risk to their lives, they still have to go and investigate.

Since he has an advantage over the others in terms of his ghostly charm, why should he back down?

"Ghost, as I understand it, you cannot be called a human being now."

"Instead, they are half-human, half-zombie, meaning they have one foot in the door of becoming zombies."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were taken aback. A zombie?

What is a zombie?

Little Paimon was also taken aback, but she didn't seem afraid.

Zombies are so cute, and they're so responsible, helping others. They're not scary creatures at all.

That Hu Tao is the real scoundrel! Qi Qi was such a good girl, yet Hu Tao actually wanted to bury her!

P.S.: Everyone here is totally off-topic!

The ghost can indeed only be considered half-human and half-zombie, because at this point, he still has a limited lifespan.

Unlike zombies, zombies have no lifespan limit.

It transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements.

The zombies cultivated in Douluo Continent may be much weaker, but for Douluo Continent, they will definitely be an epic disaster!

Once zombies grow up, they become impervious to swords and spears, fire and water, and magic becomes useless, leaving the land barren and desolate...

These people simply cannot withstand it.

If Ghost were to become a true zombie, his strength would increase significantly, but the Douluo Continent world would ultimately limit his development.

Shaking his head, Zhong Li dismissed the strange thoughts from his mind and continued, "If you want to become a true zombie, we'll seal you away for hundreds of years and bury you underground..."

Before Zhongli could finish speaking, Yueguan and Guimei's old habit kicked in.

Although we don't know what real zombies are like, they've been sealed away for hundreds of years?

Isn't this the same as being dead?

Having finally come back to life, how could the ghost be willing to "die" again?

Besides, after being buried underground for hundreds of years, his bones must have turned to ash by now.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to become a zombie; I only want to complete my second awakening!"

Ghostly Demon shook his head hurriedly, while Yue Guan nodded vigorously after hearing this.

Hundreds of years?

The daylily buds are all cold!

The ghost had no idea what kind of opportunity it was rejecting at that moment!

That means they're immortal as long as they're not killed!

The gods in Douluo Continent have limited lifespans, but zombies do not!

"Yes, Your Majesty, if that old ghost were buried for hundreds of years, I..."

Yue Guan was equally speechless. They came here to become stronger. If Old Ghost was buried, what would he do alone in the Spirit Hall?

Zhong Li blinked, somewhat taken aback, but he didn't refute anything.

This is humanity's own decision; he merely guides a path.

Whether to do it or not is entirely up to human beings.

Since the ghost was unwilling to become a zombie, he naturally wouldn't force it. He forcibly sealed the ghost and then buried it.

"Oh well……"

Zhong Li nodded and began to explain the key information about the second awakening of his martial soul.

And tell the ghosts what to do.

The best time for the second awakening of one's original martial soul is at the Soul Emperor or Soul Saint level.

Of course, those with exceptional talent can also complete their second awakening ahead of time.

But since Gui Mei is already at the Title Douluo level, it's quite difficult for him to feel any danger to his life.

Even the most powerful Title Douluo is still just a human. If they seal all their soul power and then try to fight against nature, they will still feel the threat of death.

After a long pause, Gui Mei and Yue Guan finally nodded, their expressions extremely solemn.

Seal the soul power and throw it into the sea?

With no place to land, they had to swim and also face sea spirit beasts.

This is rather inhumane...

Besides that, things like climbing mountains with bare hands and sitting quietly under waterfalls are also incredibly terrifying.

"Is energy the most important thing?"
