Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 397: 227, The Second King of the Bizarre World

The beautiful female cultivator who ran out of the city had naturally caught Tan Shuchang’s eye. Observing her reluctance to part with and the pain in her soul as she separated from the ghost king, he immediately realized that she was doing something like what the Red-Horned Ghost King had done.

Situations of unresolved love between humans and ghosts are not rare in the thriving world of the Ghost Path, but rather a common occurrence.

It was for this reason that Tan Shuchang had said that these ghost kings were on a path similar to returning to life.

Attempting to be human, learning to be human, until finally indistinguishable from human beings!

That is the path of returning to life in this realm of the Ghost Path.

Chen Yunfeng, the Red-Horned Ghost King, seemed addicted to the feeling of being cared for, but at the end of the day, it was actually this ghost king learning to be human.

Otherwise, he would not have given himself a normal human name and certainly would not have gifted a Ghost Path Divine Skill right away after hearing Tan Shuchang praise him, especially while Dongdong was away seeking a location for Divine Skills.

This behavior was all part of Chen Yunfeng’s use of human actions to bolster his humanity!

The only pitiful ones are those who fell in love with these ghost kings during this time. Because the end waiting for these people, regardless of gender, will all be reduced to “dregs.”

Just like the dregs left over from brewing medicine.

Tan Shuchang naturally also noticed the ghost king who had spare strength but did not use it. However, he did not care. In the face of overwhelmingly greater power, all scheming is in vain.

Then, Tan Shuchang went “stamp collecting.”

This region was like “Land of the Corpses,” because the cities here were all named after various “corpses,” such as Red Corpse City, Green Corpse City, Cold Corpse City, and so on.

Each city would have two to three ghost kings nearby.

It depended on whether the area near that city met the conditions for the birth of a ghost king, such as extreme yin, gathering evil spirits, entering nightmares, and harboring the spirits of resentment and fear, among others.

After running through fifteen cities, Tan Shuchang had almost completed his collection of ghost kings. Upon returning to the Snake Desire Realm, he did not care whether these ghost kings could regain their thrones or not. He felt that if a ghost king seemed to match a certain place below, he would directly drop that ghost king there.

Like planting rice seedlings.

After “planting” thirty-seven “seedlings,” Tan Shuchang nodded in satisfaction.

Because the number of ghost kings was now even more than before. @@novelbin@@

Then, Tan Shuchang prepared to capture another wave of ghost kings and, by the way, find suitable places to release some of the fierce ghosts collected from the Land of the Four Pillars.

The places he had collected stamps from before were not very suitable for fierce ghosts to become ghost kings.

Although Tan Shuchang did not expect all these fierce ghosts to become ghost kings, they were still from the Land of the Four Pillars after all, barely considered fellow townsmen, and he could not stand by and watch as these fierce ghosts were devoured by other ghostly creatures.

Additionally, quite a few might at least reach the green rank, right?

Otherwise, wouldn’t his efforts have been in vain?

Tan Shuchang leisurely proceeded on his way, but before he could find a suitable location, he felt a familiar fluctuation of laws.

It was not the law of greed.

It was the fluctuation of laws that once belonged to the Earth Destroying King and the Black Meeting King. In other words, the core laws of the two other great domains besides the Snake Desire Realm were about to reemerge.

However, feeling this familiar fluctuation of laws, Tan Shuchang fell into contemplation.

Because the former Earth Destroying King, Black Meeting King, his two lieutenants, the Death-speaking Yin God, and the Scholarly Yin God, along with his only officially recognized disciple Dai Huanzhen, had all been transformed into “war immortals” and sent to a world that he currently could not probe by the bizarre game.

So, the reemergence of these two great laws—did it mean that these former fierce ghosts under the Yin God were also coming back?

Or was the selection to be made from the current players, the ghost kings?

This question did not puzzle Tan Shuchang for long, because soon one of the laws reemerged, and then a little girl came to find him, asking for his help to open up a great domain similar to the Snake Desire Realm.

Somewhat astonished, Tan Shuchang: “…”

Because he genuinely had not expected this little girl to become his “colleague.”

However, after learning the true name of that law, Tan Shuchang understood the reason behind it. In the past, he had always been unaware of the laws of the Earth Destroying King and Black Meeting King, as they had always consciously concealed them.

And this law of the former Earth Destroying King was named Stop-the-Spear.

However, although named Stop-the-Spear, to gain the recognition of this law, the one in alignment with this law needed to constantly engage in combat.

To stop killing with killing!

And now, it was this law that had taken a liking to Dongdong.

Because her previous actions just happened to meet the requirements of this law. However, if it had been just that, this law would not have condensed a physical form for her, for even Tan Shuchang had to complete an offering for the law of greed back in the day.

But as it happened, a certain Demon Cultivator allowed this little girl to perform the act of stopping the spear in the Snake Desire Realm. Something unknowable was touched, causing the physical form of the Stop-the-Spear law to condense directly.

However, though the physical form of the law was established, Dongdong’s cultivation was still far less than that of a certain Demon Cultivator. Thus, what a certain Demon Cultivator could accomplish by completely depleting his mana, this little girl was absolutely incapable of.

Tan Shuchang did not refuse.

After all, she was one of their own.

However, in opening up the domain for the Stop-the-Spear law, Tan Shuchang controlled the area to be only three-fifths the size of the Snake Desire Realm. And Dongdong was unconcerned about this.

As the new domain was born, a figure sitting high upon a platform also manifested.
