From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Once formed, the Ghost Realm no longer needs to rely on celestial meteorites to attract spirits that have not yet dispersed from the outside world. As long as the Great Black Mountain exists, it will naturally attract the thoughts and souls of deceased beings into the Ghost Realm.

The second stage: The birth of the Heavenly Palace!

When things reach their extremes, they reverse; when yin reaches its extreme, yang arises.

The accumulation of countless spirits, along with the yearning of those wronged souls and wandering ghosts to transcend their suffering, brought together the radiant spiritual realm of heaven. Based on this, a paradise and a heavenly palace were created within the Great Black Mountain.

All the purest part of the consciousness of the spirits from their previous lives entered into it and enjoyed ultimate bliss!

Then comes the third stage: the appearance of the underworld!

Because the purest part of those spirits entered the "Heavenly Palace," what remained in the Black Mountain was only "impurities" containing all five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, the six desires of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought, and the seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and shock.

The five poisons, six desires, and seven emotions intertwined and mixed together, along with the endless stream of wandering ghosts entering the ghost realm, forming all sorts of ghosts and monsters.

The ghosts devoured and merged with each other, and one or more ghost kings were born. Under the influence of the five poisons, six desires, seven emotions and related memories, they developed self-awareness and learned that there was a "heavenly palace" inside the Great Black Mountain. These ghost kings were the parts abandoned by the pure consciousness that "ascended".

Therefore, the Ghost King was angry and resentful, perhaps wanting revenge or to completely complete himself.

In short, these ghosts and monsters, born from the five poisons, six desires, and seven emotions, also developed feelings of resentment and anger, which eventually converged to form the radiant spiritual realm of the earth.

Subsequently, one or more ghosts merged with the spiritual radiance of the earth's realm through a celestial meteorite—therefore, the Five Ghost Emperors, including the Underworld Emperor, and the Ten Kings of Hell were unable to leave their respective positions.

The fourth stage: Revenge! And to control the "heaven" and "earth" within this ghostly realm!

The King of the Underworld influenced the Heavenly Palace in a special way, causing the pure consciousness within the Heavenly Palace to be tainted once again by the Five Poisons, Six Desires, and Seven Emotions.

In this way, the power of the Heavenly Palace can be squeezed to condense the Meng Po soup, or in other words, the Yellow Springs water. It is precisely because this is the power that guarantees the purity of consciousness that the dead can forget their past lives by taking it—forget all memories. Isn't that what purity is?

For living people, drinking this can clear their mind and spirit—after all, human memories are not only recorded in the soul, but also in the brain.

The water of the Yellow Springs cannot wash away the memories already stored in the brain, thus it has become a rare and precious material that can be used to eliminate distracting thoughts during spiritual practice.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Black Lady and the White Lady are children born of the union of humans and ghosts, serving as vessels to bear the radiance of the two spiritual realms of heaven and earth. The power within them is meant to help them adapt step by step."

Jiang Liu confirmed the identities of the Black and White Ladies: they were puppets used to help the "ghost" behind the scenes completely control the radiance of the two spiritual realms of Heaven and Earth in the end.

But is the mastermind behind it all really the emperor of the underworld?

Although it was confirmed by the woman in black that he was her father, the "Emperor of the Underworld" was clearly a reckless brute and not the kind of guy who could come up with such a meticulous plan.

Furthermore, the resurrected being after the White Lady's death clearly resembles the concept of a collective consciousness, rather than the consciousness of a single individual...

"So, now that Lady White is dead, it's like destroying a vessel that carries something? This is beneficial for us to destroy the Ghost Realm, right?" Zhao Yingkong had also figured out the current situation.

"No, she's dead. It's actually more difficult to destroy the Ghost Realm and annihilate the Namo Temple now."

Jiang Liu, however, had a different opinion: "That Black Mountain is not something that can be moved by human power. If we want to overthrow it, or rather, to quickly reunite it with reality, one way is to disrupt, or even destroy, the ever-changing energy within this ghost realm."

The existence of the Ghost Realm is based on the Qi (energy) structure.

The Qi formation is like a cultivator practicing the circulation of Qi throughout the body. Breaking the Qi formation is like breaking the cultivation technique of an extraordinary person and rendering it useless.

However, the aura of the ghost realm is different from that of ordinary auras.

Although the flow of Qi within an ordinary Qi formation cannot be directly observed by the naked eye, if we compare the flow of Qi within the Qi formation to a person circulating Qi through the Ren and Du meridians in a small Heavenly Circuit, the Ren and Du meridians are in the same dimension as nature.

But the Ghost Realm is different.

Within this "Ren-Du Small Heavenly Circuit," the Ren meridian resides in the external real space, while the Du meridian lies within this ghost realm.

Or the "Du Meridian" is in the ghost realm, and the "Ren Meridian" is in the outside world.

In theory, disrupting or destroying the energy flow on either side would destroy the Ghost Realm. However, Smiling Tiger is looking for the Heavenly Star Meteorite and the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, so destroying the external landscape is not an option for now. The only solution is to find a way from within the Ghost Realm itself.

The key lies in destroying Montenegro.

According to Jiang Liu, allowing the radiance of the two spiritual realms of Heaven and Earth to be obtained by the Black and White Lady might be a good choice.

Once the radiance of the two spiritual realms leaves its original position, even if it doesn't cause the Great Black Mountain to collapse immediately, it will cause the magnetic field to fluctuate, thereby disrupting the ever-changing energy pattern and severing the "Ren and Du Small Heavenly Circuit" between this ghost realm and the outside world, thus achieving the goal of making the ghost realm overlap with the outside world.

"Depend on!"

Jiang Liu said a lot, but Zheng Zha only understood one sentence: that Jiang Liu's ability to kill the White Lady might be the key to their return mission arranged by the main god!

"The child of a human and a ghost can bear spiritual radiance, right?"

Zhao Yingkong looked at Fairy Lolita and Zheng Zha with disdain in her eyes and said, "The flow of time in the Heavenly Palace is different from that in the Ghost Realm. Why don't you two go and create one? Anyway, this woman seems quite clingy to you."

Zheng Zha's lips trembled. He was speechless at Zhao Yingkong's suggestion, but he could only tell the truth: "Fairy Loli is already pregnant."

Zhang Zhiwei had also speculated that the child of a human and a ghost could help the underworld emperor on Daheishan Mountain enter the Heavenly Palace and collect the spiritual radiance of the celestial realm, but he didn't want his child to become part of the plan…”

"Don't be silly!"

Zhao Yingkong reprimanded her, glanced at the somewhat frightened fairy, and, using the mental points left by Zhan Lan to transmit her voice, said the second half of the sentence, "Even if Lanruo and Guiyu are destroyed, she won't survive. You and her child will also vanish into thin air afterward. What is there to sympathize with?"

"..."

Zheng Zha was speechless, but his attitude was firm. He was unwilling to gamble with his own child. Even if the fairy Loli was not his Loli, and his child with the fairy Loli was not a human in the true sense, the three years in the mural were not a dream. He also had feelings for the fairy Loli!

"Jiang Liu, what do you think?"

"I think you shouldn't drag me into your ethical issues!"

Jiang Liu was speechless: ￣□￣｜｜

# Chapter 366 Arrangement

When Jiang Liu first heard about the phenomenon that a human and a ghost could have a child, he also thought it was outrageous. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was theoretically feasible.

After all, the humans who can enter this ghostly realm are those whose own aura has been affected by the aura of the outside world, and who have lost their "past," making them "living dead."

Although alive, in the eyes of heaven and earth, they are actually "dead," and being able to enter this ghostly realm is one of the best proofs of this.

Since the living dead and ghosts have already been defined as "dead" in the underlying "logic code" of the world, it is natural that they can combine with each other.

Moreover, within the Ghost Realm, ghosts are not in the same spiritual state as outside; they truly possess a texture similar to "flesh and blood." Most ghosts, or rather, all ghosts, rely on "physical methods" under the rules of the Ghost Realm for their attacks.

The only two beings capable of using magic are the Black Lady and the White Lady, who are children of humans and demons.

In theory.

If the Ghost Realm were to develop for another thousand or ten thousand years, it might actually transform into the legendary "Heavenly Court" and "Underworld".

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu regained his composure and saw Zheng Zha staring intently at him. He could only change the subject and said, "I need to confirm one more thing: who is behind the Ten Kings of Hell and the Five Ghost Emperors, and also find my iron rod."

"Your weapon is accompanying Zhang Zhiwei and Chu Xuan to test the Ten Kings of Hell," Zheng Zha said, then asked, "And Arno?"

"Don't really think of me as the Monkey King. I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life or heal bones, let alone when he doesn't even have bones left."

Jiang Liu shrugged, indicating his helplessness. "Besides, the ability of Qi Tengyi to reattach his arm is called 'Avoiding Death and Prolonging Life.' If he really dies, it's hard to save him. But if he cultivates a bit of spiritual light like me, I might have a chance to preserve his spirit."

Unfortunately, Arno was merely a creation of Chu Xuan, lacking independent consciousness and resembling a puppet rather than a true human being.

Zheng Zha opened his mouth, but could only sigh.

"Do me a favor."

Jiang Liu didn't intend to leave Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and Qi Tengyi idle either, "to look for clues about Yan Chixia."

In this realm.

Yan Chixia, a descendant of the Flowing Cloud Sword lineage, came to the Ghost Realm seeking to experience its unpredictable energy to enhance his cultivation and learn further about the Flowing Cloud Sword technique.

Ultimately, it failed.

However, some more detailed clues about this ghostly realm should have been left behind.

Where to look?

Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the matter of using the child of the human and the ghost was not mentioned, it was fine. But the Black Mountain was so big that it always needed a direction.

"The mountaintop."

Without hesitation, Jiang Liu said, "If humans go up to that area, it will anger the 'Emperor of the Underworld,' but ghosts and gods might be able to avoid it."

The implication is: let the fairy Lolita test the waters.

If there is danger, immediately run out of the mountaintop area. As long as you return to the steps, you will not be attacked.

Zheng Zha opened his mouth, wanting to say something but then stopped, only to see that Jiang Liu had already left. He could only sigh and ask Fairy Loli, "Fairy, would you like to come with me to the mountaintop?"

"You used to call me Xiaoli, now you call me Fairy." Fairy Loli looked resentful, making Zheng Zha feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Yingkong sneered and ran alone toward the top of the Black Mountain—if she stayed in the same place any longer, she was afraid she would be unable to hold back her vomiting.

Qi Tengyi looked embarrassed—he wanted to go to the mountaintop with Zhao Yingkong, but he couldn't catch up. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that Zheng Zha would "silence" him.

But now he can only rely on Zheng Zha.

"Let's go to the top of the mountain."

Seeing Zheng Zha's somewhat flustered state, Fairy Loli chuckled.

"Loli, you..."

Zheng Zha's eyes were filled with struggle as he tried to dissuade her, but Fairy Loli covered his mouth with her warm, fragrant lips, which made him momentarily lose his senses.

"Don't worry, I won't die. I'm a fairy, you know."

The fairy Loli smiled slightly, "If the existence of the Ghost Realm and the Heavenly Palace will affect the peace of the world, then destroying them is the best choice."

Secondly—

I also want to know who I really am...

Seeing the two gazing at each other with affection, about to strip and "get down to business," Qi Tengyi, acting as a "third wheel," weakly interrupted their pleasant conversation, whispering, "Um, Captain Zheng Zha, isn't it a bit inappropriate to be dating now?"

Zheng Zha was taken aback, then realized that the atmosphere was awkward. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and quickly walked to Qi Tengyi's side, saying earnestly, "Please keep this a secret!"

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Qi Tengyi wasn't stupid. Based on the fact that Arno was Chu Xuan's creation, he could deduce that Zheng Zha also created a person in the Main God Space, and it was highly likely that the person was a woman whose appearance was identical to that of this beautiful fairy!

therefore!

This is absolutely a blatant "threat"!

As the three of them set out, following the trail left by Zhao Yingkong towards the summit of Daheishan Mountain, Jiang Liu, guided by his senses, had already located the Nine-Turn Iron Rod:

Several kilometers ahead, there is a Yama Palace!

The Great Black Mountain can be divided into three parts from top to bottom: the Nanwu Temple at the top of the mountain, where the King of the Underworld resides; the Four Emperors Palace on the mountainside, where the four of the Five Ghost Emperors guard the four directions of east, west, south, and north; and the area at the foot of the mountain, where the Yama Palace is located, encircling the entire Great Black Mountain, where countless demons and monsters reside.

Compared to Namo Temple and Ghost Emperor Palace, apart from the three large characters "Senluo Palace" on the gate tower, Senluo Palace is completely unrecognizable as a palace. The houses in the city are all low and irregular, neither round nor square, as if they were forcibly pieced together, and even look somewhat distorted.
