Chapter 363: 201, 202. Ends of the Earth, visualizing the White Tower, breaking into the ground level (please subscribe)

In the north, a caravan of over a hundred people left the Human World, passing through one dead city after another.

The ashen cities were deserted, aged by the sand and gloom in the wind and fog, and some villages were even "inhabited" by Ghost Servants—Ghost Servants of all kinds.

But Song Cheng didn’t need to lift a finger; Ting’s little animals had already taken care of them, and whenever they encountered anything troublesome, Song Cheng would casually finish it off in an instant.

Past the dead cities lay vast stretches of barren fields.

The rivers flowed on, and as the caravan progressed, it was as if following an endless silver serpent to the horizon, originating from some mountain.

On the long journey, the people inside Song Cheng’s carriage gradually became lively, starting to share their pasts and experiences, while Mo listened intently.

She was blind and simple-minded, having never left the Imperial City or interacted much with others in this life. Upon hearing others talk about their pasts, she often asked some naive questions, then looked on enviously with her pure, glaze-like white eyes.

Song Cheng, without any regard for appropriateness, directly taught his two daughters the "Zhen Town Fusion" Dharma Method in front of Ding Yuan and Ling.

This Dharma Method was very mystical, so mystical it seemed not at all difficult.

But for Song Cheng, it was extremely troubling.

If he had enough time, he wouldn’t have been so panicked.

However, the problem was that at this level, each action required a lot of time.

He was now at "Xuan-level A," and he also roughly figured out a set of "Earth Level Grade D" Cultivation Techniques from the inheritance of the Yin Residence of the Mountain God of Accumulating Thunder Mountain.

And what he needed to do was:

First, upon encountering the "Land of Ruin," to operate the "Earth Level Grade C" Cultivation Technique, perfect it, and succeed in Possession, to become the "Seal."

Second, to successfully relinquish the "Body of the Town" and, like an old bird feeding its young, pass the sustenance to his daughters’ mouths, handing over the discarded "Body of the Town" for them to fuse with.

But neither of these steps was easy.

Even if the first step was successful, he had no idea how long it would take. What if he finished it and his daughters were all dead?

And the second step, how to relinquish the "Body of the Town"? Without a "body," could it even be called a "Seal"? And when he took possession of the mountains and rivers, what would become of his body?

So, Song Cheng had a contingency plan.

A plan he himself wasn’t sure about.

That was to "reopen the Nether Pagoda and confine the evil spirits."

If there were enough evil spirits, and he could bring out eight of them when his Divine Soul ventured outside... wouldn’t that make him akin to Zhan?

After all, his understanding of "Zhan" was that "it’s a living person, yet possesses the terrifying soul power of multiple evil spirits."

By then, he would indeed be a living man, and he indeed could pull eight ghosts from the Ninefold Ghostly Tower. Who would dare say he wasn’t Zhan?

Therefore, he had to do it.

Because he felt that only if he became both "Seal" and "Zhan" would there be a greater hope.

So, as the caravan passed by Chenyang Prefecture in old Northern Snow State and he sensed the True Self of the Paper Figure Ghost, he informed everyone and then used the Law of Heaven and Earth to transform into the Li Fire Roc Peng. He cleared a hundred-mile "Ghost-Free Zone" around the area and then pounced directly toward the Paper Figure Ghost.

Worried about the time it would take, he went madly full throttle upon entering the Paper Figure Ghost’s Reappear World, quickly experiencing its Reappear World and capturing the Paper Figure Ghost into his tower.

The Paper Figure Ghost’s story was still a sad one, a tale of the "Flower of Evil."

The Paper Figure Ghost was originally a young woman who ran a Paper Figure Shop. Longing for her deceased husband, she drew a paper figure in his likeness. This would have been harmless, but it just so happened that a disaster struck the village where her shop was located. A man who lusted after the woman spread false rumors, claiming she was the cause of everything, intending to blackmail her into submission and then claim her for himself under the pretext of "clearing her name." The woman rejected him and loudly exposed his schemes. The villagers, of course, didn’t believe her and, in their superstition and fear of evil, along with other reasons, they captured her and burned her along with her paper figure.

Finally, the seed of evil blossomed in the Yin Soil.

The young woman became a Paper Figure Ghost.

Song Cheng experienced everything she did, only he utilized the power of "Great Dark Heaven" and "Human Skin Ghost" directly when she was about to be burned to death.

Suddenly, a torrential flood came from afar, the floating iron cages opened one by one, and creatures like the Rabbit Woman, Sheep Woman, and Leopard Woman all took action.

Various Ghost Servants were drowned by the black floodwaters, sinking to the bottom, while those still struggling were overwhelmed by leaping Leopard Women and snatched into the cages.

The tableau froze, and a kind of subtle fusion commenced between the two sides.

After a long while...

The cages closed up.

The Paper Figure Ghost was successfully devoured by Song Cheng.

The sixth level of the Ninefold Ghostly Tower now had a white-clothed woman who quietly snipped paper in a corner.

Song Cheng returned as well.

Only when he stepped out of the Reappear World did he realize that the scenery outside had changed—at least the green leaves had turned yellow and withered, helplessly fluttering in the cold wind.

Upon inquiry, he found out that roughly two months had passed.

Song Cheng felt somewhat helpless. Although it felt like only a moment in the Reappear World, two months had lightly slipped away outside.
