Lu Changsheng, clad in golden battle armor that radiated light, entered the domain of the Endless Guileful Head—the Ghost Domain—to survey the situation.
As soon as he entered the Ghost Domain, he felt the mana within his body beco heavy, slightly sluggish.
Moreover, here, he was unable to sense nature’s spiritual energy.
“So this is the Ghost Domain…”
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself as he looked around.
Everywhere was shrouded in a gray haze, and black winds howled, transforming into ghostly faces that wailed and sobbed, as if in mourning.
...
A wave of sorrow, pain, panic, fear, loneliness, and despair surged into his heart.
“Such a terrifying Ghost Domain. If an ordinary Qi Refinent or Foundation Establishnt Cultivator were to enter this domain, they wouldn’t even need the Endless Guileful Head to act. Slowly, they would lose their minds, their Heart Demons stirred…”
Lu Changsheng briefly experienced the impact and power of this Ghost Domain and was secretly shocked.
He knew that within this Ghost Domain, the illusory divine skills of the Endless Guileful Head could even provoke the Heart Demons of others.
If there was any lapse in ntal defense during a confrontation, it would an a certain death.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng turned his gaze towards the Dark Demon Corpse shrouded in black mist.
This Dark Demon Corpse seed to still possess so instincts.
It sensed that it was being refined into a Ghost Slave and struggled instinctively.
But faced with the dual suppression of Mount Suru and the Endless Guileful Head, it was completely powerless to resist.
At that mont, the Endless Guileful Head also transmitted its intentions, expressing that it could refine the Dark Demon Corpse into a Ghost Slave.
However, once turned into a Ghost Slave, the strength of the Dark Demon Corpse would diminish, losing its original divine might.
And after it was turned into a Ghost Slave, doing so would also place a certain strain on the Endless Guileful Head itself, limiting the total number of Ghost Slaves it could enslave in the future. ṞἈΝ𝐨𝖇Ɛʂ
“How much will its combat strength decrease?”
Lu Changsheng inquired of the Endless Guileful Head.
“It will no longer possess its original divine skills, mostly relying on instinctual combat…”
The Endless Guileful Head sent back a thought.
“That’s already sufficient. The main combat strength of this Dark Demon Corpse lies in its physical body.”
“Moreover, once within the Ghost Domain, with the Endless Guileful Head disrupting one’s ntal spirit, the Dark Demon Corpse can overpower any ordinary Nascent Soul Immortal head-on. They won’t stand a chance.”
Lu Changsheng felt the trade-off was worth it.
Most importantly, by having the Endless Guileful Head control the Dark Demon Corpse, this Third Rank Corpse King would not suffer from backlash, sparing him the effort of nourishnt.
Having confird the situation regarding the Endless Guileful Head and the Dark Demon Corpse, Lu Changsheng stepped out of the Ghost Domain, and the golden battle armor dissipated from around his body.
Upon seeing the beautiful and seductive Abyssal Ghoul Blossom by the spirit spring pond, Lu Changsheng’s brows furrowed slightly, a look of strangeness crossing his face.
“How co my path seems to be veering more and more towards the Demon Path?”
Lu Changsheng said with a peculiar expression.
“No, my heart and actions are as clear as a bright mirror.”
“After all, power is neither inherently good nor evil. It is how one uses it—that which is used for goodness is righteous, that which is used for evil is demonic!
“As soone like , brimming with positive energy, having saved countless suffering souls, even if I possess so demonic thods, I am still of the righteous path!”
Lu Changsheng nodded to himself, his expression resolute.
…
At Bi Yun Peak, in the Lu Family Mansion.
Lu Changsheng was spending ti with Bai Ling.
Now, Bai Ling’s cultivation level had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Level of Energy Refinent.
With so more ti spent polishing her spiritual power until it was round and flawless, she would be ready to attempt Foundation Establishnt.
“Changsheng…”
At that mont, Lu Miaoge sent him a ssage indicating sothing was amiss with Mount Suru Cave Heaven.
“Sothing’s amiss?”
Lu Changsheng’s brows lifted, and after asking Bai Ling to wait for him, he proceeded to Mount Suru Cave Heaven.
It was only when he arrived at Mount Suru Cave Heaven that he realized what Lu Miaoge ant by ‘sothing’s amiss’ was the Ghost Domain ford by the Endless Guileful Head.
“Sister Miaoge, there’s no need to worry. I thought that keeping Xiahou Wuwo’s Third Rank Corpse King idle would be a waste, so I used another thod to refine and control it,” Lu Changsheng explained out loud.
“Changsheng, refining corpses, thods of the Demon Path damage the natural order. If it’s possible to use them less, it’s better to avoid them…” Lu Miaoge uttered with pursed lips after hearing him.
Although she didn’t reject her husband’s use of demonic thods, she wasn’t completely comfortable with it either.
After all, in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm’s portrayal of the Demon Path, it was considered extrely heinous and harmful to the natural order.
Moreover, both the Abyssal Ghoul Blossom and now the Endless Guileful Head presented sowhat sinister and demonic scenes, raising concern that they might influence Lu Changsheng.
Should he beco affected, it wouldn’t just be him at risk; it would be all of Bi Lake Mountain.
“I understand, Sister Miaoge.”
Lu Changsheng, knowing that she was concerned for him, took her hand seriously and reassured her.
He expressed that he was aware of the implications and asked her not to worry.
…
That night.
When Ling Zixiao and Xu Ruyin finished setting up the formation and returned from their tasks, they too were shocked to see the Ghost Domain above Mount Suru Cave Heaven.
Xu Ruyin, in particular, beca even more convinced that Lu Changsheng was not a good person.
“Is this a Core Formation Law Domain?”
“No, this isn’t just any Law Domain…”
Hong Lian in the Ancient Beast Taming Charm also witnessed this scene and sensed that sothing was amiss.
She observed carefully and soon saw the Endless Guileful Head inside, realizing that this Ghost Domain was even more formidable than a typical Core Formation Law Domain.
It could even influence Nascent Soul Cultivators to so extent.
“This is so kind of corpse refining thod, where all divine skills and magical powers are converted into a Law Domain, trendously powerful, enough to confront cultivators of the sa rank…”
“The young master is only at Foundation Establishnt strength, how can he control such corpse refinent!”
The more Hong Lian observed, the more she was shocked, unable to comprehend how Lu Changsheng managed to wield such a fearso undead being.
Corpse refining was different from Beast Taming.
Spiritual Beasts had sentient nature and could be gradually nurtured, tad from a young age, thus recognizing a master.
But corpse refinent entities mostly lacked sentience, having only instinctual awareness.
They could be controlled only through various restrictive techniques, and loyalty to a master was virtually nonexistent.
Especially the more powerful and sinister the reanimated corpse, the truer this was; not suffering from backlash was already fortunate. To control the strong with the weak was exceedingly difficult.
