Chapter 47: The Daoist Priest’s Pursuit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as the rain stopped, Zhang Chen left the village.
Half a day after the young lady, her butler, and their entourage left the village, a figure descended from the sky on a gust of wind.
It was the Daoist priest who came to investigate the killing of the ghost bride.
Without so much as a glance at the bodies of the villagers strewn about, the Daoist priest went straight into the temple.
Looking at the broken mud statues and bones inside the temple, his face darkened with anger. “I have been planning this for decades and now it’s all gone! You can’t escape me!”
Immediately, he began to cast a spell over the bodies of the dead villagers, and a great deal of yin energy surged forth from his body.
“Illumine the darkness, spirits of the four directions, heed my command and return at once!”
Suddenly, the wind picked up, the sky grew dark, and the sound of ghostly wailing could be heard.
Several ghostly figures with vacant expressions and translucent forms floated out of the bodies of the villagers.
“It’s been a while, and most of the other spirits have dispersed. Only these few remnants remain. I hope they can give us some useful information.”
“Who destroyed the mud statue?” The Daoist priest asked in a low voice.
The remnant souls showed a look of resentment. “It was a young man who came to the village to seek shelter from the rain.”
“What did he look like? Did he have any distinguishing features or abilities?” the Daoist priest continued to inquire.
“He was handsome…
After listening to the ghosts’ description, the Daoist priest had a suspicion. “It seems to be an inner disciple of the Blood God Sect. But if he’s just an inner disciple, then it’s not too difficult to deal with.”
He continued to cast a spell. ‘”‘There is a debtor for every debt and a cause for every injustice. Go and find the person who killed you!”
Several ghostly remnants seemed to sense something and flew off in one direction, their expressions vacant.
“If you want to destroy my ghost spirit, I’ll replace it with your soul!” The Daoist priest smiled sinisterly and followed the remnant souls.
On the other side, Zhang Chen rode his horse and continued to head to the city Xu Yixian had been assigned to.
However, it had just rained and the road was muddy, affecting the horse demon’s running speed.
In other words, Zhang Chen was actually not too far away.
The city that Xu Yixian had been assigned to was 2,400 miles from the Blood God Sect. There were still 1,000 miles to go and they could arrive tomorrow or the day after.
At night, Zhang Chen casually found a grassy area for the horse to graze and sat down to meditate and cultivate.
Two hours later, a strange wind suddenly blew across the grassy area.
This wind was not normal!
Zhang Chen stood up and looked around warily. He sensed Yin energy in the wind.
Encountering ghosts again?
Zhang Chen frowned. It was too much of a coincidence to encounter ghosts consecutively.
“Give me back my life!”
Several ghosts appeared not far away, looking at Zhang Chen with resentment.
“Are these the villagers I killed?”
Seeing the appearance of the ghosts, Zhang Chen was first stunned, then his face became solemn.
It was not impossible for villagers to turn into ghosts, but the souls of those who had just died would be weak. It was impossible for them to have the ability to chase over hundreds of miles in less than a day.
Someone was likely manipulating them from behind!
Just as Zhang Chen was thinking about this, a gloomy voice came from the air.
“You’re the one who destroyed my spirit ghosts and ruined my decades of planning?”
Zhang Chen looked up and saw a skinny Daoist priest with a goatee standing in the air, looking at him angrily.
Foundation Establishment!
Zhang Chen’s heart tightened, but he was not afraid. Since the other party had chased after him, he naturally could not hide it. Hence, he admitted bluntly, “It was me.”
“Alright!” The Daoist priest smiled sinisterly. “Since you killed my spirit ghosts, I’ll extract your soul and use it for my own purposes!”
“I am a disciple of the Blood God Sect. If you kill me, are you not afraid of the Blood God Sect’s retaliation?” Zhang Chen stared at the Daoist priest, ready to use his Blood Ignition Technique at any time.
“I have a solution to the Blood God Sect’s blood curse. Without the blood curse, who would know that it was me who killed you?” the Daoist priest sneered.
“Senior, do you have to kill me? I was sheltering from the rain in that village. The villagers wanted to lure ghosts to harm me, so I killed them. I didn’t know that the spirit ghost was raised by Senior.” Facing someone at the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhang Chen didn’t want to fight unless he had to.
“My decades of planning and waiting have all gone to waste. If I don’t extract your soul and refine it, the hatred in my heart cannot be quelled.” The Daoist priest gritted his teeth and refused to give up.
“Well, then let me witness the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.” Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Zhang Chen immediately circulated the Blood Ignition Technique.
He was still at the ninth level of Qi Refinement. Coupled with the improvement of the Blood Ignition Technique, could he temporarily break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
The Daoist priest looked disdainful. “Although you have reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation, there is still a world of difference between you and the Foundation Establishment stage. You…”
Before the Daoist priest could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed.
Under the influence of the Blood Ignition technique, Zhang Chen’s momentum quickly skyrocketed.
After reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation, he felt like there was a barrier in his body preventing him from advancing further.
This was the bottleneck. Only by breaking through it could he advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.
“Boom, boom, boom…
Zhang Chen’s blood boiled, producing a deafening roar as the massive spiritual power generated by burning his blood, like a surging flood, constantly impacted the bottleneck.
As a top spiritual root cultivator, Zhang Chen’s bottleneck was already weak. Within two breaths, the bottleneck was broken by the enormous spiritual power.
As the bottleneck was shattered, the spiritual power in his body underwent a transformation, turning into another, even more powerful force.
Magical power!
Between heaven and earth, there was a spiritual energy floating around. After inhaling it and refining it, it became spiritual power. As spiritual power continued to advance, it turned into magical power.
Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm could one possess magical power.
When Zhang Chen felt a surge of magical power in his body, he knew he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm!
“You actually used the Blood Ignition Technique!” The Daoist priest was first surprised, then disdainful. “Even if you temporarily have the magical power of the Foundation Establishment period, what does it matter? Without the Foundation Establishment period’s spiritual body and spells, at most, you’re just half a step into the Foundation Establishment period period.”
Foundation Establishment meant laying the foundation and building the basics.
A cultivator’s foundation is their physical body.
There was a saying in the cultivation world that a hundred days of Foundation Establishment required a hundred days to strengthen or rebuild the physical body and transcend the mortal body.
150 years was the limit of an ordinary person’s lifespan. They only died before this age due to reasons such as illness or constitution.
Because there was spiritual power in their bodies, cultivators in the Qi Refinement period were immune to all poisons and did not get sick, so they could live up to 150 years.
As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could live for 300 years because they had already transcended the mortal body and strengthened or rebuilt their physical body.
The Daoist priest suddenly had a small flag in his hand and he waved it gently.
Immediately, a strong wind blew, and a large number of illusory figures flew out of the flag, accompanied by cries and strange laughter, making one’s hair stand on end.
“Woo woo woo woo woo…”
“Hee hee hee hee hee…
Nearly a hundred ghostly shadows appeared in the air. They were densely packed, and all of them had ferocious and terrifying expressions, exuding overwhelming hostility.
More importantly, five of them emitted the aura of the ninth level of Qi Refinement!
“After killing you, I will also refine your soul into the Hundred Ghosts Banner for my command.” The Daoist priest smiled sinisterly and waved the small banner in his hand again.
“Go, kill him!”
