Huo Lao, who lived in the mortal realm, also held a position in the Heavenly Court. It was a high-ranking position, but not one with much real power.
A few days ago, when Xia Tianqiong's aura fluctuated violently, he wanted to ask Xia Tianqiong about the situation.
They were told he was in seclusion and they hadn't seen him since.
Xia Tianqiong took the initiative to find him today, and her expression was unusually serious.
"Elder Huo, I would like to meet that person from the Upper Realm."
When Xia Tianqiong spoke, he pointed to the sky, meaning that he wanted to see the Ghost God Huo, not the clone in front of him.
Old Huo nodded, then closed his eyes. In just a few seconds, the aura of a strange god suddenly appeared within his body.
Clearly, the consciousness of the one from the upper realm has descended upon this clone.
Old Master Huo, the God of Deception, opened his eyes and asked directly, "I heard you were acting strangely a few days ago? What happened?"
Xia Tianqiong frowned and sighed softly, "I called you here to talk about this matter. When I was being chased by Jun Shisan, the Dream God came to me."
He gave me the second half of the True Spirit Dao Scripture, saying it could help me deal with Jun Shisan. But I recently discovered that there seems to be something wrong with this scripture.
My true spirit is a bit unstable right now. The fluctuations in my aura before were because my true spirit suddenly broke into several pieces. Although I repaired it using a secret technique, this problem may recur in the future.
Old Master Huo, the God of Deception, was startled, then his face showed a hint of anger. "I already warned you back then that no matter what help he gave you, it might be to harm you. How could you still dare to learn what he gave you?"
Xia Tianqiong looked slightly ashamed: "To be honest, I didn't really believe either of you when you came to me. You just told me a possible way to deal with Jun Shisan, while he directly gave me the second half of the True Spirit Dao Scripture and said it would definitely be able to deal with Jun Shisan."
In that situation, I had no choice but to try the scripture he gave me. And it proved effective; the latter half of the scripture played a significant role in my victory over Jun Shisan.
Of course, the True Spirit Devouring Technique you told me about was also crucial. You could say that it was with the help of both of you that I was able to defeat Jun Shisan.
But I've realized that the latter half of the scripture might have some hidden problems, and I'd like to ask if you have any solutions.
The mysterious Huo Lao suddenly fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Xia Tianqiong's words made sense.
If it were him, facing the pressure from Jun Shisan, he would definitely try every possible method.
While he remained silent, Xia Tianqiong continued, "I can send you the second half of the true scripture. You can study it for me and see if I've misunderstood it or if there's a problem with the scripture itself."
Old Master Huo nodded, "Alright, send it to me, and I'll ask the Venerable One to take a look."
Xia Tianqiong had previously sealed this part of the memory, but now he unlocked it again, made a copy, and sent it directly into Old Huo's head.
This kind of memory transfer is comparable to wireless transmission on the Internet—simple and efficient.
After thinking for a moment, the eccentric old man Huo asked again, "Does your current strength have any impact?"
Xia Tianqiong shook his head, "The true spirit has been reconnected, and the strength has not been affected. The only concern is that the true spirit may break again in the future."
He previously told the Dream God that it would have an impact, but now he's telling Old Huo that it won't, essentially deceiving both sides.
Whether or not it has an impact depends entirely on the situation.
Elder Huo's expression returned to normal, and he nodded, saying, "That's good. As long as you still have strength, you don't need to be afraid of them when you come to the Upper Realm. I suggest you come up as soon as possible. I can take you to see the Venerable One so that he can examine your body."
"I plan to go to the Upper Realm the day after tomorrow. You can pick me up there then, otherwise I won't know where to find you."
"So sudden?"
"Recently, I feel that the world is rejecting me more and more. Anyway, the Ghost Realm has been unified, so I might as well go to the Upper Realm."
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the Upper Realm."
After chatting for a few more minutes, the two ended their conversation.
Xia Tianqiong left and went to find Song Shiqiao, asking her to prepare for the ascension ceremony the day after tomorrow.
Thus, all the strange entities in the Prison Tower and the Floating City knew about this.
The next day, the Dream God contacted Leng Tianpeng and learned from him the time of ascension.
On the third day, the celebration began.
The meeting took place in the floating city, and all the ghost generals and ghost kings who came to attend the meeting were also present.
The floating city was even more lively today than the last time a ghost marriage was held, with lanterns and decorations everywhere and a grand banquet.
The so-called ascension celebration was cleverly turned by Song Shi into a personal story presentation by Xia Tianqiong.
The guests sat at the table eating and drinking, while she arranged for the chess king to float in the air and loudly proclaim how Xia Tianqiong had gone from an ordinary human being to where she is today.
The manuscript was written by Waimai Gui long ago, and only he knew everything about Xia Tianqiong.
Xia Tianqiong did not show up; he was drinking with the Ghost Bride at a restaurant.
As the ghost bride listened, she suddenly sighed, "My lord, I never knew your journey had been so difficult."
Xia Tianqiong glanced out the window, shook her head and laughed, "The story is true, but it's a bit exaggerated. Don't take it seriously, just listen to a story."
When writing his stories, Waimai Gui exaggerates even the smallest things, describing them as incredibly dangerous and difficult, and how he ultimately overcomes all obstacles through his strength and wisdom.
In short, Xia Tianqiong, as he described her, had a bumpy and arduous journey, and it was only with great difficulty that she got to where she is today.
Those cunning generals and kings were stunned, feeling that Xia Tianqiong had gone through so much to get to where he was today, which could be described as destiny.
Of course, some shrewd old foxes scoffed and didn't quite believe these words.
Xia Tianqiong appeared only after recounting all her deeds.
This is the final and most important step in the ascension ceremony.
Summer Sky floats in mid-air, looking down at tens of thousands of eerie creatures below.
"Everyone, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld have been established. I hope everyone will work together to build a wonderful Ghost Realm. Although I am going to the Upper Realm, my clone will remain here with you all."
