Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 488: 268, putting the cart before the horse! The beginning of a bizarre game!

“If you do not return to your rightful place, a Killing Calamity may descend, and we might be powerless to help you through it.”

This was the third sentence and the last one.

After this sentence materialized, those words dispersed with the wind, leaving not a trace behind. Tan Shuchang, looking at this sudden emergence of words, couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Killing Calamity?

Was this referring to his mentor?

However, what did this “Mr. Chu” mean by asking him to return to his place?

Tan Shuchang only felt that these three lines of text, although abrupt and seemingly without reason, could not possibly be without cause, making it all the more perplexing for him.

“Cultivating immortality is dull, so he wants me to return to my place…”

“And if I do not return, a Killing Calamity will occur. Moreover, this calamity is something that even the All Ghostly Paths cannot help me overcome…”

“I seem… or rather, should I be very familiar with the All Ghostly Paths?”

Tan Shuchang realized this point.

But this discovery left him feeling like the matter was without head or tail since he had encountered the Ghost King’s identity due to his guardian role in the Rotten Ghost Path and had three encounters with “Mr. Chu” thanks to the diaries.

So, where did this familiarity come from?

After all, this is the All Ghostly Paths! Those familiar with and able to get help from the All Ghostly Paths are likely to be a part of it!

With rapid thoughts, another idea suddenly struck Tan Shuchang, and his eyes revealed a hint of incredulous doubt.

After all, he indeed had a deep connection with the All Ghostly Paths.

That would be the eerie game world!

And he, too, was deeply involved with this eerie game world.

Since the invitation from this eerie world thirty years ago, his life had begun to change from that point.

Although his greatest reliance had always been his Coexistent Blood Pool, if not for that invitation from the eerie game world, his Coexistent Blood Pool might still be just a Blood Pool, even unable to control it as easily and thoroughly as he could now!

Let alone ascend step by step to immortality!

“Could I have replaced the eerie game world?” Tan Shuchang thought, thus he immersed his mind into the eerie game world.

In this eerie game world, there was an Incarnation created by Tan Shuchang using the Body of Laws from the Law of Greed, and now that his mind had dived in, he naturally took control of the entire Snake Desire Realm instantly.

Under this control, Tan Shuchang saw that the original inhabitants and the Ghost King in this game world clearly remained in their initial state. Furthermore, he saw a newly built city which had a gloomy atmosphere all over, inscribed with the words – Lan Shou City, clearly a Ghost City.

However, what was strange was that at this moment, there was a large number of living humans in this Ghost City, and their Cultivation Realms were not low. The most powerful ones were even on the brink of becoming immortals.

The Reincarnation Body of the Fierce Ghost, found by Tan Shuchang after reincarnation, had regained their memories without losing the cultivation power brought about by their Cultivation.

Of these, three were the foremost.

The first, naturally, was the Reincarnation Body of the Black King, who, both before and after reincarnation, belonged to esteemed statuses, previously a King and now a reclusive and highly respected hermit known as Seen But Unheard.

The second was one of Tan Shuchang’s former right-hand men, the Reincarnation Body of the Death-speaking Yin God, her appearance unchanged, named Nian Buyu.

The third was still one of Tan Shuchang’s former right-hand men, namely the Yin God Scholar. His Reincarnation Body initially had the lowest cultivation level, but thanks to Tan Shuchang directly imparting laws to him, his Cultivation Realm was raised.

Now in charge of overseeing this Lan Shou City, naturally, he also had a new name, called Ting Bujue.

These three names, each carried its own uniqueness.

However, these were originally Tan Shuchang’s thoughts; he now vaguely felt that this might be something the eerie game world was hinting at him.

“Seen But Unheard, Nian Buyu, Ting Bujue…”

These three names all had some sense of contradiction.

Clearly seen, yet unheard; clearly thought of, yet unsaid; clearly listened to, yet unfelt.

Tan Shuchang’s thoughts began to wander, and so his qi began to connect with this eerie game world. This connection didn’t necessarily mean anything, at most indicating that Tan Shuchang’s current cultivation level, was terrifyingly strong.

Truly a prowess that meddled with creation!

Yet within Tan Shuchang’s body, within his flesh, bones, blood vessels, within his soul and consciousness, there lay another entity.

It couldn’t exactly be called an entity, as it wasn’t really life.

It was a number.

A unique lineage of the All Ghostly Paths.

It possessed strength between powerful and non-powerful, lacking self-consciousness, but causing the All Ghostly Paths helpless against it, even those self-conscious All Ghostly Paths had more than once had to clean up after “number.”

Being disassembled by the rest of the Ghostly Paths undoubtedly indicated that “number’s” power was indeed limited, even weak, because the rest of the Ghostly Paths, even if suppressed by another and stuck in a perpetual “crash” state, wouldn’t be dismantled by others.

But this Ghostly Path “number” could also be said to be the only incarnation of “heaven’s number,” “fate’s number,” because the power of both manifested in the Ghostly Path “number.”
