On a plain, countless strange creatures are engaged in a fierce battle.
Among them, the Buddha Ghost Clan and the Void Ghost Clan together number around 15,000, which is considered a considerable force in the Ghost Realm.
However, they were surrounded by fifty to sixty thousand Buddha-like demons, and they could neither defeat them nor escape.
The Buddha Ghost Clan is a comprehensive ghost clan, including greedy Buddha Ghosts, angry Buddha Ghosts, infatuated Buddha Ghosts, and wrathful Buddha Ghosts, etc. It is said that the total number is as high as hundreds of thousands, and it is known as the largest ghost clan in the ghost world.
This strange race had always remained neutral and rarely fought with other strange races.
For some reason, they set up an ambush today, intending to capture the Tree Demon Clan led by Xiao Tao alive.
Fortunately, Old Man Wang was nearby with the Void Clan and quickly came to their rescue.
The Buddha-Ghost Clan held back in their attack to capture them alive; otherwise, they wouldn't have lasted this long.
The lesser-level monsters fight on the ground, while the more powerful and higher-level monsters battle in the air.
Xiao Tao, Old Man Wang, and the Chess King are constantly at a disadvantage against the five Ghost Kings of the Buddha Ghost Clan.
Old Man Wang was struggling to fight the two Ghost Kings. "You are bringing trouble to the Buddhist Ghost Clan. More than a dozen Ghost Kings disobeyed orders and had their memories erased by my boss, who then forced them into contracts."
You actually ambushed us! When my boss arrives, your fate will likely be even worse than those of the Ghost Kings.
The one attacking Old Man Wang from the left was an old monk with a face full of wrinkles.
He smiled faintly: "We have heard about what Benefactor Wang has said. But it is too exaggerated and difficult to verify, so we do not believe it."
However, we know that you have gathered a large number of Ghost Kings, possessing the power to shake the entire Ghost Realm.
Old Man Wang's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "Since you know that, you still dare to attack us. What exactly do you want?"
The one attacking him from the right was a young monk, his face full of anger, who shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, surrender immediately, or don't blame us for killing you all."
These two Buddhist charlatans are quite powerful; if they hadn't wanted to capture Old Man Wang alive, they would have killed him long ago.
Old Man Wang looked grave. He glanced at Xiao Tao and the Chess King, both of whom were in dire straits; defeat was only a matter of time.
He sighed. He didn't want to trouble Xia Tianqiong, as that would make him seem useless.
But now I have no choice but to bother the boss.
"Since you're courting death, then so be it. My boss has a bad temper, and your entire clan will not have a good end."
As Old Man Wang spoke, he took out a gold note and threw it into the sky, instantly summoning a dark cloud.
This was given to him by Hu Qianjiuyue before he set off, to be used to summon his boss in critical moments.
He was full of confidence and his expression relaxed. As long as Xia Tianqiong appeared, everything could be easily resolved.
But... two minutes later, nothing appeared in the dark clouds.
Old Man Wang frowned and quickly used the gold ticket's messaging function to send a voice message to Xia Tianqiong: "Boss, come quick, Xiao Tao and I are in a bit of trouble."
The message was sent, but two minutes passed without a reply.
I'm starting to panic!
"Hmph! Putting on airs!" the young monk snorted angrily. "It seems you won't surrender unless you're scared enough to be killed. Then kill them all!"
His last words were shouted down to the crowd below.
In an instant, the battle on the ground intensified, and the Buddha-Ghost Clan no longer held back, beginning a massacre.
The Tree Ghost Clan and the Void Ghost Clan immediately began to suffer casualties, with bizarre deaths occurring every moment.
Just then, a red figure flew out from the dark cloud in the sky.
...
At this moment, Xia Tianqiong was lying on the rocking chair with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
A few minutes earlier, the god of dreams had summoned him again in a dream.
With his current strength, he could have refused, but he didn't; he wanted to see what the other party had to say.
As soon as they met, the Dream God couldn't wait to ask, "How have you been feeling lately?"
Xia Tianqiong sneered inwardly; this guy was clearly waiting for him to make a mistake.
"It's great! I'm on my honeymoon!"
Although the Dream God's appearance could not be seen, it was clear that he was stunned for a moment.
"I asked how well you've been comprehending the True Spirit Scripture, not whether you're doing well."
The tone of his voice seemed a little unhappy.
Xia Tianqiong smiled indifferently, "I've been busy with my honeymoon lately and haven't had time to comprehend the true scriptures. Besides, I've already defeated Jun Shisan, so there's no rush to comprehend them. There'll be plenty of time later."
The Dream God paused for a moment before speaking: "That's your business. I was just asking casually. That's all, I'm leaving."
"Wait, I have a question."
"I'm busy with something, I'll answer you later."
Xia Tianqiong quickly replied, "I've been quite busy lately. If you contact me again next time, I might not have time to respond."
Just as the figure of the Dream God was about to disappear, it suddenly stopped.
Dealing with Jun Shisan was a task given to him by the Venerable One above. Although it has now become Xia Tianqiong, it is the same: this potential threat must be eliminated.
He cannot return to report if he cannot confirm that the other party has encountered a problem.
After thinking about it, I had no choice but to stay.
"Answering your question won't take long, so go ahead and ask."
"Hehe, you are truly a god. What I want to ask is, if one is injured in the upper realm and one's strength drops from a demigod to a demigod, or even lower, can one return to the lower realm to recuperate?"
Upon hearing this question, the God of Dreams suddenly became wary.
Did he already know that there was a problem with the second half of the true scripture?
Otherwise, why would you ask such a question?
Upon closer reflection, something still felt off.
If he knew there was a problem with the scriptures, he wouldn't have asked himself, but would have asked Elder Huo instead.
Thinking of this, the Dream God's vigilance eased slightly, and he gave an answer: "As long as it is not a demon god, you can return to the lower realm."
Xia Tianqiong nodded, then asked, "What conditions are needed to advance to the Venerable level? Is it still a further deduction of the 'Dao'?"
The Dream God suddenly chuckled twice, clearly laughing at his overestimation of his abilities.
"The Venerable One is an unattainable being; most of the evil gods will never reach that level. Don't be too ambitious."
"At least you need to know the method to advance to the Venerable level, otherwise how can you make me give up?"
"Very well, then I'll tell you. It's said that there are three paths to becoming a Venerable One, and this is widely circulated in the Upper Realm. Whether it's true or not, only a Venerable One knows."
First, gather the power of faith from trillions of living beings; second, enter the Dao through one's own body, that is, merge oneself with a certain 'Dao'; third, perform a major event that affects the overall situation of the upper realm, and obtain the certification of Heaven and Earth, which refers to the Heaven and Earth of the upper realm.
Xia Tianqiong listened silently. At first glance, it seemed easy, but upon closer reflection, it was all very difficult to do.
The Dream God urged, "Any other questions? If not, I'll be leaving."
Xia Tianqiong waved her hand, "Let's go, there's no problem for now."
"Don't hide from me next time I need to talk to you, or I won't answer your questions anymore."
"Okay, I got it!"
Before the dream god disappeared, Xia Tianqiong broke free from the dream and her consciousness returned to reality.
He needs to think carefully about whether he has a chance to be promoted to a Venerable.
When he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he found the gold ticket floating in front of him, and a dark cloud floating above the sky island.
The Ghost Bride was supposed to be in the Sky Island Orchard, but she is not there now.
