With An Kong's guarantee, Chen Luo successfully settled down in Kongjie.
The place where An Kong lived was called Xifeng Cliff.
This is the first transit point for the residual souls from the outside world to enter the void world. The Ghost House has set up an organization here, called the Soul Guiding Department. An Kong is the manager of the Soul Guiding Department, a manager organized by the Ghost House. There are two other managers like him, and the rest are all temporary recruits. The three deadly enemies that he asked Chen Luo to help him curse and kill before were all the confidants of the two managers.
Going north from Xifeng Cliff is Tongyoujian, which is the middle level of the sky world.
The innermost area is the Ghost Mansion, where all the powerful residual souls of the Void Realm live. The flow of time in that place is very slow. The residual souls of the Transformation Realm can live there for six thousand years. If it is a residual soul of the Return to the Void and Harmony Realm, it will live longer.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In half a year, Chen Luo's aura became the same as that of the ghost cultivators in the sky world, and was no longer as eye-catching as before. An Kong never came to see him again, but through some words from others, he learned that he was fighting with the other two managers. The two sides fought back and forth, enjoying themselves.
As his understanding of the void realm deepened, Chen Luo felt more and more that it was extraordinary.
The flow of time here is extremely slow, making the life span of ghost cultivators living here extremely long. The outer Soul Guiding Division and the middle Passageway are fine, but the inner Ghost Mansion feels to Chen Luo like an oil pool, with no idea of its depth. Even the brothers in the external brain couldn't see through it, and could only vaguely sense a few powerful auras.
This discovery made Chen Luo very cautious, and he has never sneaked into the inner layer until now.
The next day.
Chen Luo stood in the courtyard, with purple aura circling around his body. From a distance, it looked like two dragons were circling his body.
The transformation of the sun and moon in the sky is not rising in the east and setting in the west, but a transition like breathing. The night will disappear within ten breaths, and the moon will change into the sun in this process.
Squeak
The wooden door was pushed open.
"There is something I may need your help with."
An Kong walked in from outside wearing a jet-black steward's robe. He had a skull-shaped jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his golden boots with dark gold patterns stepped on the ground, looking very stylish.
"Curse who?"
Chen Luo stopped refining his Qi and asked directly.
An Kong's expression froze for a moment before he spoke.
"It's not murder, it's a mission from the Ghost House."
An Kong reached out and threw a sign to Chen Luo. Chen Luo reached out and grasped it, and instantly read the information on the sign.
'Lead three thousand residual souls into the ghost palace, completed three quarters before the end of the month.'
The mission was simple and clear, which was the custom of the Ghost House. The main mission of An Kong and his group was to help the Ghost House collect residual souls.
The area that An Kong is responsible for corresponds to ten coordinate points.
"A mission from the Ghost House? Can't you do it alone? I'm not from the Ghost House, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs." Chen Luo frowned. He originally thought that An Kong came to him to ask him to help kill someone, but he didn't expect it to be a mission assigned by the Ghost House.
He has no interest in such useless things.
"It takes two people to drive the Soul Guiding Boat together. The person who drove the Soul Guiding Boat with me before was cursed to death by you last time."
An Kong didn't expect the mission to come so quickly. The fight between the three of them had just come to an end, and before he had time to recruit his men, the mission had already been issued.
The mission of the Ghost House must be completed.
But there were only so many masters in the Soul Guiding Division. Apart from the three people who were cursed, there were only two qualified masters left, his two mortal enemies. Those two people would definitely not help him, and not adding insult to injury was already a blessing. In desperation, An Kong could only find Chen Luo again, hoping that he would help him through this disaster.
"After the matter is accomplished, I will teach you the secret art of soul summoning."
"Let's go, now."
Chen Luo stood up immediately, his attitude changed 180 degrees from before. As long as he was willing to take the benefits, the rest of the things would be easy to talk about. Having learned a curse technique from the void world before, Chen Luo became interested in the magical powers of the void world. Now that he had the opportunity to get in touch with the core soul-calling technique of the ghost house, he naturally couldn't miss it.
The wooden boat moved forward.
Chen Luo and An Kong stood at the bow of the boat, the lake water beneath their feet was as smooth as a mirror.
The faces of the two people were reflected on the inky black water. From a distance, it looked like the sky and water were separating them, with one person each above and below the water.
"This place is the first soul-guiding point."
An Kong controlled the soul-guiding boat to stop.
The wooden boat stopped moving, and Chen Luo raised his hand and cast a spell to help An Kong complete the positioning.
After doing this, An Kong stretched out his right hand.
A black brush appeared in his right hand, and ripples as turbid as water ripples spread out from the tip of the brush. The still water surface below was like a scroll, being cut open by the brush strokes, revealing the world hidden behind. Chen Luo sensed the spiritual energy that belonged to the outside world from behind this world.
This is a soul-guiding point connecting to the outside of the tomb.
"The souls we draw together are called Heaven, and the Heavenly Soul is the Yang that determines our destiny." An Kong walked to the bow of the boat, and started drawing in the air with the brush in his hand, opening and closing it vigorously as if he was painting.
Ripples spread across the water, and fonts appeared above the water.
This word is exactly the word "天".
"The second painting soul is called Earth, and the Earth soul is Yin Palm Spiritual Wisdom."
The water surface turned again, and the word "Earth" appeared. As the words "Heaven" and "Earth" took shape, candle-like light spots lit up inside the passage. These light spots were the residual souls of this entrance. After determining the location of these residual souls, An Kong picked up the pen and wrote the third word.
"The three-rise painting soul is called life, and the life soul is the lamp, which controls life and death! When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. Gentlemen, why don't you return quickly?"
Just one click.
The tip of the pen spread out like a ripple, creating a circle of invisible waves.
The light spots in the passage below gathered like returning fish. When they gathered at a certain point, the three words written by An Kong spread out and turned into a large ink net, which caught the remaining souls and then dragged them back to the boat.
"Painting soul?"
Chen Luo looked at An Kong's method of summoning souls and his eyes fluctuated.
This is the method used by ghost cultivators.
Among the more than 2,800 external brains on Chen Luo's body, only Xue Ning saw some traces. The other brains all had the perspective of a "stranger", and all they saw was the scene of An Kong throwing fish food into the river.
"Soul painting is my unique secret technique. I was able to win the position of manager because of this secret technique."
An Kong withdrew his hand somewhat proudly.
The moment he withdrew his hand, the words disappeared and the river water slowly returned to calm.
The wooden boat under his feet continued to swim forward. After a while, the wooden boat came to the second node. An Kong controlled the wooden boat to stop, and the Soul Drawing Technique flew out of his hand again, and the river water rolled back, carrying a large number of residual souls back.
Then the third and fourth nodes
Every time a node is completed, the token on An Kong's waist lights up a position.
Chen Luo stood by, pondering An Kong's methods.
Soul painting is very difficult. With Xue Ning's intelligence, it is almost impossible to master it in a short time. So Chen Luo changed a method, letting Xue Ning's brain to "see" and other brains to learn. In this way, the task was divided into two parts, and it became very easy to master.
'Start with Condensing Evil Spirit, a total of nineteen moves.'
"The first move is very similar to the Spirit Talisman. The eighth move is similar to the Origin Seal."
Chen Luo's eyes moved and his external brain worked at high speed.
Soon, this secret technique that belonged to An Kong was broken down into 108 hand seals, 365 breath transfer methods, and 910 methods of breathing. The scattered steps were quickly mastered and digested by one brain after another, and then reorganized in reverse.
When Chen Luo opened his eyes again, the complete seal method had appeared in his mind.
"This is the ninth node. This place is a place where demons cultivate."
An Kong maneuvered the wooden boat to stop, while introducing it to Chen Luo.
He only had Chen Luo as his ally now, so he just needed to spend more time on the relationship. Just as he was about to perform the Soul Painting Technique, Chen Luo next to him suddenly raised his hand.
A wisp of spiritual power that was almost identical to An Kong's dissipated from Chen Luo's hand.
The light flows, and after a moment.
A large ink net exactly like An Kong's appeared on the water surface. This scene made An Kong, who was halfway through the spell in his hand, freeze in his tracks.
"You learned it?!!"
An Kong was a little dumbfounded. This secret technique was invented by him, and he was the only one in the entire Sky Realm who knew it. Although Chen Luo's current Soul Painting Technique was not as good as his, the effect was close to 70% of his level, and even the changes in the details were exactly the same.
"It's still a little off."
Chen Luo looked at the Soul Painting Technique being performed and felt a little dissatisfied.
The soul painting technique in his mind was not like this. There was a big difference between the actual effect and the effect displayed.
"Clam?"
An Kong glanced at Chen Luo, and then saw the remnant souls that were constantly being collected in the distance, and he felt unwell. He had reached this level in his first performance, which made him feel like he was no match for a dog after years of practice.
Chen Luo ignored him and raised his hand to perform the Soul Painting Technique again.
This time, the words that appeared on the lake were almost identical to An Kong's. This almost exaggerated speed of progress made An Kong feel numb. He suddenly felt that the dispute in the ghost house was very low-level. The little cultivation he had improved by trying so hard to grab resources was worthless in front of a "genius" like Chen Luo.
After collecting the remaining souls of the nodes, Chen Luo controlled the wooden boat and continued to move forward.
Soon we arrived at the tenth node.
"This is also a demon node."
Before An Kong finished speaking, Chen Luo's magical power was unleashed. Unlike the two previous times, this time it was completely beyond the scope of An Kong's Soul Painting Technique and began to develop in a direction that he did not understand. (End of this chapter)
