Chapter 649: Chapter 647 Ghost Cultivator
Rong Wu had passed away and entered the Ghost Realm. Originally, he was supposed to go to the Transmigration Sea to be reborn in the Demon Realm.
Unfortunately, his luck wasn’t great, and he just happened to encounter a hurricane in the Transmigration Sea. Rong Wu’s soul was directly swept into the Tuhai Ghost Well, which was where Sally had descended.
Unexpectedly, inside the Tuhai Ghost Well, there was a Thousand-Year Fierce Ghost. It discovered Rong Wu and initially wanted to devour him for a hearty meal… However, it was instead devoured by Rong Wu.
But the fierce ghost’s evil energy was indeed formidable, and it backfired against the essence of Rong Wu’s soul.
Just as Rong Wu’s spiritual sense was about to dissipate, he sent a distress call to Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruo was about to ascend but rushed over immediately upon receiving his call.
By the time he arrived, Rong Wu’s soul had already been completely tainted by the fierce ghost’s evil energy. To continue reincarnating, the evil energy needed to be purified.
If not purified, Rong Wu could only give up reincarnation and fully absorb the evil energy, transforming into a ghost cultivator.
Rong Wu ultimately chose to become a ghost cultivator.
But as a ghost cultivator starting out, he needed to consume living blood. Therefore, Rong Ruo contributed his own Quasi-Divine Blood to help Rong Wu transform.
It was a close call, but in the end, the transformation was successful.
When Sally came over, Rong Wu was meditating with his eyes closed.
However, perhaps sensing Sally’s presence, he finished his cultivation and opened his eyes.
The pair of pitch-black eyes looked icy cold at first glance but soon revealed a warm luster.
“Sister Su,” called Rong Wu.
Sally was truly startled by his eyes, “I thought you didn’t recognize me anymore.”
“That’s not possible,” Rong Wu replied with a smile.
Sally looked at him, now restored from his aged appearance to youthful handsomeness.
The features bore only a slight resemblance to the current Rong Ruo, but the aura was completely different. One was becoming more divine, inspiring faith and filled with hope. The other had fallen into a cold darkness, yet like the clear brilliance of the night moon—cold, indeed, but also bringing a peaceful tranquility to the heart.
“If you want to purify the evil energy, I do have a way,” Sally said.
Sally took out Xiaojiu’s Light Talisman from the System Space, “Do you still need it?”
“No need, ghost cultivators can ascend to the Demon Realm through cultivation and still find Mo Ruo,” Rong Wu replied.
Sally was unaware, “Oh? Ghost cultivators can ascend to the Demon Realm?”
Rong Wu replied, “I only found out after devouring the soul of that thousand-year-fierce ghost. Now, more and more ghost cultivators are appearing in the Ghost Realm, especially the wraiths of the Human Clan after death. After turning into ghost cultivators, their cultivation speeds up faster. The fierce ghost I devoured was originally of the Human Clan. But since I was originally the Beast Emperor, blessed with merits, it couldn’t harm me, and I ended up devouring it eventually.”
“It seems after Heavenly Dao redefined the Six Realms, many rules also changed,” Sally sighed. She also felt it was a pity for Rong Wu, a lifetime of merits as the Beast Emperor, just vanished like that.
“I have a bottle of that what’s-it-called…” Sally took out a bottle that Qing Linghuan had once collected in District 19 from her Space Ring, “Huanhuan said, this stuff is very nourishing for demon cultivators, it should be somewhat similar for ghost cultivators too.”
Rong Wu took it. It felt ice-cold to the touch, but for him now, it was just the right temperature. He slightly opened the bottle top and sniffed a little.
Instantly, his whole soul seemed to freeze.
Seeing his unusual expression, Sally hurriedly moved closer and exclaimed, “Rong Wu?”
Rong Ruo pulled her into his arms, “It’s nothing, look at his eyes.”
Those pitch-black pupils, exuding an indescribably excited glow… It took a while before they returned to normal.
“Thank you, Sister Su. This item is invaluable! Are you really giving it to me?” Rong Wu asked excitedly.
Sally nodded, “Of course, this thing is like a time bomb in my space. If you find it useful, it’s yours.”
“Very useful!” Rong Wu said, extremely satisfied.
Sally rummaged through her Space Ring again, but aside from that bottle of Calamity, everything else was Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Rong Ruo saw her intention and stopped her, “Yanyan, Rong Wu doesn’t need anything right now.”
“Then I’ll give him some defensive talismans,” Sally handed Rong Wu a stack of defensive talismans.
But as she approached Rong Wu, he repeatedly stepped back, “Thank you, Sister Su, I’ve just transformed into a ghost cultivator, so I need to avoid these spirit-filled items for now.”
“Then let me purify them for you.” Sally said, as she took out two ancient angel divine talismans that Little Miqi had given her.
Rong Ruo grabbed his hand, smiling helplessly, “If you use one of those talismans, he’d be gone.”
Sally: “…”
Rong Wu also chuckled awkwardly, “I appreciate your kindness, Sister Su, but really, there’s no need to trouble yourself.”
“Alright then.” Sally looked at him with regret, then handed a regular stone box containing her Sound Transmission Talismans to Rong Wu, “If there’s anything you need, just contact me. After Rong Ruo ascends to the Divine Realm, it won’t be convenient to come down, but I still have ways to get here. This stone box also contains some defensive and offensive talismans, keep them just in case.”
Rong Wu expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Sister Su.”
“There’s no need to be formal with me, you are Xiaoqi’s uncle, and also family to me.” Sally patted his shoulder.
Only to find that her hand passed right through his ethereal body…
“Once I’ve trained enough, I’ll have a physical body,” Rong Wu smiled at Sally.
Sally sighed inwardly, “Good. Oh, and Mo Ruo is still with Welly, she’s single and hasn’t found a partner yet.”
“… Uh-huh!” Rong Wu’s eyes curved slightly, clearly he had someone in mind.
Sally and Rong Ruo stayed with Rong Wu a while longer, and when they saw his soul body weakening, they reluctantly left.
Just as they were leaving, Sally turned back and saw Rong Wu still smiling and waving at them.
…
“Should we go and see Luoya Continent?” Rong Ruo asked Sally.
Sally was about to agree, when she heard Xiaomei say, [Host, Xiaomei wants to find the Skull Lock.]
“That… since we’re here in the Ghost Realm, why don’t we look around? I’ve promised to help Xiaomei find something.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
As long as he was with Sally, Rong Ruo was willing to go anywhere.
The two left the Tuhai Ghost Well.
Sally held Rong Ruo’s hand, using another one of Little Miqi’s World Crossing Talismans to exit the Slaughter Array.
“Little Miqi has great talent,” Rong Ruo praised.
“Yes, Frans even hit her because of her talent. She was truly wronged,” Sally replied.
“Hehe~”
Sally handed a few to Rong Ruo, “Each can be used three times, and I’ve left two for Rong Wu…”
The two continued along the route Xiaomei had given them, moving forward.
Along the way, some ghost vines tried to entangle Sally, but Rong Ruo chopped them into pieces, and some even rallied for a group battle.
Struggling against a horde, Rong Ruo was wounded by a ghost vine.
Seeing this, Sally instantly became furious, and in a burst of rage, she uprooted all the ghost vines and burned them to ashes!
The entire Ghost Vine Forest Sea became tame!
The second half of the journey out of the Ghost Vine Forest Sea was remarkably smooth and flat, even the red passion flowers bloomed quietly, like a fiery sea of flowers…
