Xu Xiaoshou arrived early.
Yet never put the people and ghosts of this place in his heart.
He stepped down from the cassia carriage, not far away was the matchmaker holding golden beads, surrounded by the corpses of Uncle Jin and Elder Fu.
Li Fugui had long recognized their identities, nothing more than gold hunting token assassins.
The assassins of the Three Incenses, who more or less participated in the black gold bounty against him back then, died without regret.
As for the matchmaker...
Even if she is a golden beads client.
Having decided to co to the Ghost Buddha Realm for training, life and death are destined, Xu Xiaoshou also did not want to ddle too much.
As said before: The world is full of ill-fated people, how many truly love the world? Journeying along this path, if one were to help each and every one, it would be impossible to make progress.
However, this white-faced ghost is sowhat special, being one of the targets of this trip.
"Ugh ugh..."
Looking up, the evil ghost howled, its body quickly disintegrating.
After being hit by the Na·Ten Stages Sword Point, even though it mastered the Aura of the God of Death, that tiny amount is simply unable to resist.
"Such a small ghost!"
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled, no longer paying attention.
His target was naturally not the white-faced ghost, it was rely the leading shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
To outsiders it might be very strong, half a year ago he could tear it apart with ease, let alone now?
Xu Xiaoshou was concerned about whether the white-faced ghost would transform into a Phantom Beast upon death, summoning a trace of "will" that might originate from the Ghost Buddha, and ultimately belong to the Ghost Buddha!
"Hua Changdeng huh..."
Standing here, perceiving the breadth of many miles.
The vast land, filthy and eerie, even in daylight, always gives a sense of coolness as if in the Yin Cao world.
Or to put it another way:
"Phantom City!"
He cultivated for half a year, traveling back and forth between the Apricot Realm and the Shengshen Continent.
Xu Xiaoshou could be said to have witnessed the evolution of the Ghost Buddha Realm from nothing to its current "Phantom City" appearance.
All roots, due to the Aura of the God of Death perating.
Half a year ago, the Ancient War God Platform for the first ti was abnormal, so areas transford into Phantom Beasts, ghosts crawling out from underground, mostly only at the Acquired, Innate.
Months later, ghosts grow to Master, Sovereign.
Recently, even Saint Stage ghosts frequently appeared, so even mastered the Aura of the God of Death!
"This is not a good thing."
"You Yuan cut off the Stairway to Heaven, isolating the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor and the Shengshen Continent, making it difficult for a Holy Emperor to cross over."
"And now, the power of the ancestral source is penetrating, granting so ghosts a third realm combat consciousness, and the ability of an ancient swordsman, which is again very strong..."
Several days ago, when Li Fugui reported these situations.
Xu Xiaoshou imdiately realized a storm is approaching, for those who can master the power of the ancestral source usually are Holy Emperors.
Regarding holy emperor-level ancient swordsman, currently he only knew one person, Hua Changdeng.
"Hua Changdeng intends to cut off the constraint of You Yuan and forcibly ascend to the Shengshen Continent from the Stairway to Heaven?"
"And this Ghost Buddha Realm, is it ford due to the influence of the second realm of the Phantom Swords Technique, the power of the Lord of Phantom City?"
At the ti Xu Xiaoshou was practicing with Bazhun’an, he presented this view, the latter did not comnt.
It seed that Bazhun’an had concerns that were not solely about Hua Changdeng, but also sothing else.
"Above the Stairway to Heaven?"
Xu Xiaoshou did not know.
Half a year has passed, because the passage is blocked.
Information about the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor, perhaps only the unpredictable Dao Qiongcang could have the ability to know.
But with Dao Qiongcang’s words, Xu Xiaoshou dared not believe, so there’s no need to ask further.
To this day he did not know when Elder Yu, the Saint Emperor, went up to the Stairway to Heaven, what was the outco of the battle.
If victorious, half a year later, he should have taken control of at least half the resources of the Wu Rao Emperor Realm, gaining a slight foothold?
If defeated...
If defeated, even Xu Xiaoshou could not guess what kind of ending it would be.
"Hua Changdeng, what kind of person is he?"
Even getting so data about Hua Changdeng during the period of the Ten High Nobles from Li Fugui, there’s not much left.
Outsiders’ opinions can’t compare to those of Bazhun’an, Hua Changdeng’s arch-enemy, which are clear and accurate.
Thus, Xu Xiaoshou had this question.
Facing this question, Bazhun’an’s assessnt was surprising, unexpectedly positive:
"Hua Changdeng specialized in the Phantom Swords Technique, once known as the ’Ghost Sword Immortal’, righteous person, straightforward character, quite decent."
It was hard to imagine that in Bazhun’an’s mind, this guy who severed his two fingers, was indeed such an image.
Xu Xiaoshou was sowhat surprised.
He thought Hua Changdeng was the kind of small-minded person, who used unscrupulous ans to win back then.
Now it seems, the one who used unscrupulous ans all along was only Dao Xuanji, even Hua Changdeng was used as a pawn?
"Ghost Sword Immortal..."
He pondered this title, then asked again: "Speaking of which, I haven’t fully learned the true ’Lord of Phantom City’, can you demonstrate?"
The Dao Disc’s super Taoization, but until now, Xu Xiaoshou has never seen anyone formally use the Lord of Phantom City in actual combat.
The most was during the battle in Jade Capital City, Li Fuyu used a half-step second realm ’Fengdu Sword’.
Fengdu Sword, Lord of Phantom City...
Though there’s a single word difference, they are thought to be vastly different.
Following the thods recorded in the Sword Observation Manual to cultivate, perhaps one could quickly master the Lord of Phantom City that Bazhun’an learned thirty years ago.
But it certainly wouldn’t surpass today’s Bazhun’an’s sword.
Bazhun’an, however, shook his head and earnestly said:
"The master, there is always only one."
"When the master is present, the rest are secondary—empty in na, without substance, and I am no exception."
"Leaving aside other things about Hua Changdeng, focusing solely on talent and proficiency in the Phantom Swords Technique, he far surpasses in these aspects, there’s no disputing that."
"Since you haven’t experienced the true ’Lord of Phantom City’, my suggestion is, wait until the Ghost Buddha realm splits, wait until Hua Changdeng arrives in person, then observe and learn from him."
