Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 380: 219. This question stumped Tang Seng, but not a Demon Cultivator.

Chen Yunfeng, having revealed his true form, looked at the amiable and polite Tan Shuchang with a tense expression because he sensed the Yin Spirit Power within this “Guardian King.”

The Purple Aura Comes from the East!

This was a figure that should not exist in this region.

The strongest from Phoenix Tree Mountain, Kunwu Sword Saint, only possessed green-rank Yin Spirit Power. A cultivator with purple-rank Yin Spirit Power was said to only exist in myths.

Thanks to the thriving of the Ghost Path in this world, any ghost who achieved the title of ghost king would receive a heaven-bestowed position. They would not only enjoy worship from a territory but could also exert strength far beyond their own cultivation level.

For example, a ghost creature with yellow-rank Yin Spirit Power, once becoming a ghost king and acquiring a heaven-bestowed position, could directly display the power of the green rank!

And if originally green-rank, they could ascend to the heavens in one step and directly display blue-rank strength!

However, this was the limit for most ghost kings.

There were ghost kings capable of displaying purple-rank strength, but they would not do so unless absolutely necessary.

Because it would attract the five calamities.

The Calamity of All Beings, the Calamity of Turmoil, the Calamity of Slaughter, the Calamity of Seeing Myself, the Heavenly Tribulation—any of these five calamities could reduce a ghost king displaying purple-rank strength to ashes!

“Guardian King, no wonder there is the word ‘king’ in your name. I had originally thought it was just your personal name, but it turns out to be your royal title!” Chen Yunfeng said in a deep tone.

Upon hearing these words, Tan Shuchang merely smiled and didn’t explain. After all, his title of Guardian King indeed stemmed from a royal conferment.

“Your cultivation has reached such high realms. Surely, you have not come here without reason. May I know what brings you to this place?” Chen Yunfeng then inquired.

His own strength was only green-rank, and although he could unleash blue-rank power with the full force of his heaven-bestowed position, he was undoubtedly no match for a purple aura practitioner.

Therefore, upon discovering the true strength of the Guardian King, Chen Yunfeng abandoned the thought of resistance.

Purple rank was very special. Even without having faced any of the five calamities, it was not something a ghost king like him could deal with.

“First, I have come to thank Brother Chen for the gift of Divine Skills, and second, I would like to inquire if there is a Calamity Crossing Secret Method available? I can offer equivalent Secret Techniques in exchange, or perhaps something else,” Tan Shuchang stated his purpose clearly.

Although this Red-Horned Ghost King looked somewhat appetizing, a certain Demon Cultivator had never been uncouth.

In his interactions with others, he always led with courtesy.

“Calamity Crossing Secret Method?” Chen Yunfeng involuntarily glanced past the thanks from the purple-ranked ennobled one, because this request for an exchange was simply too astonishing. @@novelbin@@

“Have you reached the purple rank and still not realized that in this world, there is no such thing as a Calamity Crossing Secret Method?” The Red-Horned Ghost King appeared very puzzled. This was no secret. Although it wasn’t widely spread among living cultivators, anyone who had cultivated for a sufficient length of time would naturally come to understand this.

Thus, the Red-Horned Ghost King couldn’t help but ask, “May I know how many years you have cultivated?”

“Counting carefully, I have cultivated for eleven years,” Tan Shuchang replied, his heart unwittingly filled with some emotion as he suddenly thought of his late mentor, the Heartless Old Man.

In the blink of an eye, it had already been seven years since the day his mentor passed away.

Indeed, time flies like a white colt flashing past a gap!

“Eleven years?” When the Red-Horned Ghost King heard this, he was undoubtedly as shocked as a living person seeing a ghost but, being a majestic ghost king, he quickly regained his composure. With a complex look in his eyes, he then said, “Your talent for cultivation can only be described as unparalleled from ancient to modern times, no, it is unique. However, with such a brief period of cultivation, it is no wonder that you do not know that a Calamity Crossing Secret Method does not exist.”

Then, the Red-Horned Ghost King explained everything to Tan Shuchang: from the enhancement the position of ghost king provided to ghost creatures, to the famous ghost kings in different regions, including those who could touch upon purple-rank strength and attempt to transcend calamities, but were ultimately erased by the five calamities.

There weren’t many ghost kings who had managed to reach this stage—a total of only five.

The first ghost king erased by the five calamities was known as the Faceless Ghost King, who received offerings from three places: Thousand-Foot City, White Bone Mountain, and Corpse City, standing as a top-level ghost king.

He had no face but could take millions of people’s faces for his own.

The ghosts that served him were countless, and in addition, there were many cultivators at his command. Among these cultivators, most were not ordinary; yellow-rank Yin Spirit Power cultivators were commonplace, and there were also quite a few green-rank Yin Spirit Power cultivators.

Without exaggeration, in both the human and ghost realms, this Faceless Ghost King was an existence powerful enough to obscure the skies with a single hand.

However, such a top-level ghost king with massive influence, after accidentally displaying purple-rank strength, attracted the attention of the five calamities. The top-level ghost king tried many ways to escape but ultimately could not avoid it and had to face the five calamities head-on.

Then, the Faceless Ghost King was obliterated in that very Heavenly Tribulation.

The second ghost king erased by the five calamities was called the Thousand-hand Ghost King. This top-level ghost king’s domain of offerings was no smaller than that of the Faceless Ghost King.

However, since the mainstream of Yin Spirit Power cultivation changed at the time of this top-level ghost king’s emergence, no longer favoring the bizarre and cultivating odd techniques, this Thousand-hand Ghost King could not command the cultivators.
