The group of ghost kings looked at each other, and finally Hu Qianjiuyue spoke up.
“Mr. Xia, as you should know, we forcibly opened the passage to the upper realm, but were blocked by the evil gods of the upper realm. Even Jun Shisan was driven back.”
We truly don't know what to do next. Now that you've become a god of illusion, could you please show us the way?
After Xia Tianqiong devoured Jun Shisan, he already knew about these things.
Without a second thought, he casually replied, "If you push the 'Dao' to its limit, you can advance to the level of a Ghost God. You must know that, right? Once you become a Ghost God, you can naturally go to the Upper Realm, and no one can stop you."
The group of demon kings suddenly looked embarrassed, and some even lowered their heads.
Just as Hu Qianjiuyue was about to explain, the Three-Eyed Ghost King spoke first, his tone tinged with displeasure.
"Do you think everyone is as talented as you? It's not difficult to comprehend a 'Tao,' but it's extremely difficult to deduce it to its limit. In the millions of years of the entire Ghost Realm, the number of people who have attained divinity through the Tao can be counted on one hand."
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat taken aback; he didn't feel it was that difficult!
Hu Qianjiuyue added, "Jun Shisan became a legend in the Ghost Realm, revered by all the ghosts, not only because of his strength, but also because entering the realm of divinity through the Dao was as easy as turning his hand, which made all the Ghost Kings envious and jealous. Of course, you are even more powerful than him."
After hearing this, Xia Tianqiong pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I have nothing to guide you with, and I don't know any other shortcuts to becoming a Ghost God."
The Three-Eyed Ghost King spoke again: "Actually, we hope you can help us smooth things over. Once you go to the Upper Realm, talk to those Ghost Gods and ask them to open a back door for us. It's said that it's easy to become a Ghost God in the Upper Realm, and we want to go there and give it a try."
The demon kings were speechless. This was far too blunt; couldn't it have been more tactful?
However, everyone looked at Xia Tianqiong with expectant eyes, hoping he could give a positive answer.
Xia Tianqiong was about to refuse on her first instinct, but then she suddenly remembered something and fell silent.
More than twenty demon kings watched quietly, none daring to disturb them.
A moment later, he suddenly smiled, but it was a strange smile.
"Do you know what the situation is like in the Upper Realm? Even if you go up there as a Ghost King, you'll only be at the very bottom, destined to be slaves. You've cultivated for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, are you really willing to accept that?"
Xia Tianqiong's gaze was intense, and his words were sincere, causing the group of Ghost Kings to fall silent.
They were top beings in the lower realm, high above and revered, but in the upper realm they became the lowest. This contrast is not easy to accept.
Fox Qianjiuyue sighed softly, "Our chances of becoming a Ghost God in the lower realm are too slim. In order to become a Ghost God, we have to go to the upper realm no matter what. We have no choice."
She and Three-Eyed were already half-step into the realm of demon gods; once they went to the upper realm, they would soon reach the level of demon gods.
The other demon kings, however, are facing greater difficulties, and all of them are currently looking worried.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly laughed and said, "Who said there's no way?"
The Three-Eyed Demon King's eyes widened suddenly. "What's your plan?"
"If I share Jun Shisan's memories with you, and you study his process of deducing the 'Dao,' will your chances of advancement increase?"
"Really? You're willing to share with us?"
The Three-Eyed Demon King suddenly raised his voice, his three eyes filled with astonishment.
The other demon kings were both surprised and delighted, somewhat unable to believe what they were hearing.
If it were them, they would absolutely keep it a secret and wouldn't let anyone see it.
Xia Tianqiong laughed and said, "Of course it's true, but there are some conditions. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
Previously, I obtained Jun Shisan's consciousness from a bizarre scene, and it was sealed in a card instead of being devoured.
It's a bit of a waste for him; he might as well use it to seduce these wicked kings.
He'll enter the Upper Realm sooner or later, so he might as well lay a solid foundation in advance and personally train a group of strange gods. That way, he'll have a team and won't have to fight alone.
Of course, it doesn't mean sharing all memories.
Instead, the key content was hidden, and only the memories of Jun Shisan comprehending and deducing more than a dozen "Dao" were selected. These memories were then further refined and divided, with each Ghost King sharing only two or three of the "Dao," as long as they could advance to Ghost God.
While it doesn't guarantee a promotion 100%, it can greatly increase the probability.
When the demon kings heard him say that there were conditions, they thought he was going to force them to sign a contract, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
Hu Qianjiuyue suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, just state your conditions. Even if you want me to sell myself, I can consider it."
As she spoke, she even winked.
The ghost bride was right next to Xia Tianqiong, like a well-behaved little wife, quiet and docile, making it easy to overlook her presence.
She had already put her red veil back on; she didn't like to appear in front of outsiders.
Seeing that Hu Qianjiuyue was seducing her husband, she exuded an aura and locked onto the other party, as if she would make a move at any moment.
Xia Tianqiong took her hand and squeezed it gently, signaling her not to act impulsively.
"You don't need to sell yourself. Just join my camp. Whether in the lower realm or the upper realm, you must follow me and obey my orders."
The Three-Eyed Demon King probed, "No need to sign a contract?"
Xia Tianqiong glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Even if you advance to the level of a Ghost God, you still pose no threat to me."
What I mean is that you are too weak. Even without a contract, even if you become a demon god, you cannot escape my grasp.
After careful consideration, the Demon Kings realized that this was indeed the case.
If Xia Tianqiong were to force them to sign the Human Lord Contract now, no one could resist. If they didn't want to die, they would have no choice but to obediently sign the contract.
Fortunately, he didn't do that.
Therefore, all the Ghost Kings agreed to Xia Tianqiong's proposal and followed him from then on. Although they did not sign a contract, they followed his lead without question.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the more than twenty ghost kings, and his smile deepened.
"From today onwards, you have officially joined my family. Now, I am issuing the first mission: to recruit all the Ghost Kings and all forces in the Ghost Realm. I will unify the Ghost Realm and establish a new order."
The demon kings were stunned by these words and were all taken aback.
But then, they all became excited again.
Unifying the Ghost Realm and restoring the order of ancient times has always been the wish of many Ghost Kings and the goal of some major Ghost Clans.
With Xia Tianqiong, the God of Ghosts, unifying the Ghost Realm seems to be no problem.
No matter how much resistance there is, we are not afraid. Anyone who dares to oppose us will be killed.
The Three-Eyed Ghost King was the first to jump out, "I'll lead the way. I know where several powerful ghost clans are. I've wanted to deal with them for a long time."
Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly: "You can discuss the specifics yourselves. I only have a few requirements. First, the time limit is one year. Gather all the supernatural beings above the level of Ghost General. I want to hold a meeting with them to formulate new rules for the Ghost Realm."
Second, all the Gui tribes with a population of more than fifty must be registered and their strength and characteristics recorded in detail.
Third, all supernatural entities of the level of "fierce supernatural" or above in the supernatural realm must be recorded for easy supervision and management.
Fourth, anyone who disagrees, kill them without hesitation. If you encounter a problem you can't handle, come find me.
