The Grand Elder hesitated and could not make a decision.
Chu Xuan said again, “The name of the Netherworld race is doomed to disappear. You will have preserved the roots of the Netherworld race by turning into ghosts.”
“If you don’t turn into ghosts, the Netherworld race will disappear completely. I’m not exaggerating this…”
“The Netherworld race can’t survive this Daoyuan!”
The Grand Elder was shocked. He did not doubt the words of an expert like Chu Xuan.
The Netherworld race could not survive this Daoyuan?
They would not be able to rise up again?
Only by turning themselves into ghosts would they have a chance of survival?
The Grand Elder struggled inwardly. After a long while, he asked again, “Senior, why do you want to save the Netherworld race?”
Chu Xuan smiled and said, “I am a seeker of fate. Your Netherworld race ancestor is fated with me. Since you came here, no matter what your purpose is, it’s also fate.”
“I’ll protect your lives. Do you think that the current Netherworld race still means anything to me?”
The Grand Elder fell silent.
Indeed!
......
Such an expert, how could the declining Netherworld race still be worth anything to him?
“Please allow us to discuss it.”
The Grand Elder could not make a decision, so he chose to discuss it with the other members of the Netherworld race.
“Very well!”
The Grand Elder looked at his clansmen with complicated eyes. These one hundred or so clansmen represented one-third of the Netherworld race. The other two Netherworld race clans were hidden somewhere else.
It had been a long time since they had contacted each other.
It was even possible that the other two Netherworld race clans had perished.
The group of members of the Dark clan discussed it with complicated expressions.
Before coming to the Chu family’s territory, they had been full of confidence and fighting spirit.
They were going to fight for the rise of the Netherworld race.
In the end though…
They had learned of such a cruel reality!
There was no hope for the Netherworld race!
The only way out was to transform themselves into the ghost race.
In fact, there was no choice at all.
If they did not become ghosts, they would die!
If they became ghosts, they would live.
The choice was already written in the stars.
After a long while, the Grand Elder said with a complicated and respectful tone, “Senior, we are willing to transform into the ghost race.”
“A wise choice.”
Chu Xuan was not surprised by the Netherworld race’s choice.
“I will teach you the ghost race’s cultivation method.”
He raised his hand and pointed his finger, transmitting some of the cultivation methods in the Ancient Netherworld Scripture to the Grand Elder.
Then, he waved his hand and moved the members of the Netherworld race into the pocket dimension.
He also earmarked a separate location for the Netherworld race to cultivate.
That location was a dark valley in the pocket dimension, which was just right to cultivate the Ancient Netherworld Scripture.
“Thank you, Senior!”
The Netherworld race members expressed their gratitude one after another.
No matter what this human expert’s thoughts and intentions were, he was worthy of their gratitude as he had not exterminated them.
Following that, the Grand Elder passed on the Ancient Netherworld Scripture’s cultivation method to every member of the Netherworld race.
From then on, the Netherworld race began to cultivate in the Dark Valley. Their spiritual power was constantly being transformed, slowly turning into a form of sinister and terrifying power.
When the Grand Elder started cultivating, he realized how powerful this cultivation method was, and that it could completely change the physical bodies of the Netherworld race.
Once they were completely transformed into the ghost race, it meant that his branch of the Netherworld race would have completely disappeared.
However, they would continue to bear the fate of the Netherworld race.
This cultivation method was very powerful, and the abilities of the ghost race were also very strong. He had to admit that they were stronger than the Netherworld race and had a more promising future.
Moreover, if they succeeded in transforming into the ghost race, they would become natural ghosts, and not ghosts that were formed after cultivating from a divine soul.
The Netherworld race had similarities with ghosts to begin with, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were this world’s natural ghosts.
After cultivating the Ancient Netherworld Scripture, the Grand Elder finally knew for certain that the ghost race really had a better future than the Netherworld race.
Given his current cultivation situation, once he transformed into a ghost, his cultivation would break through to the Divine realm!
“If the Netherworld race wants to become strong, they must transform into the ghost race!”
The gaze of the Grand Elder turned firm.
He even thought about looking for the other two Netherworld race clans and having them transform into ghosts as well.
Chu Xuan paid great attention to the progress of their transformation to the ghost race. After all, this was related to triggering a system reward.
It was also a clan that he had truly created with his own hands.
Inside a dark underground cave, You Su was cultivating while paying attention to the messages in the Great Dao Communication Group.
Suddenly, she frowned.
“What’s going on? Why has there been a change in my relationship with the Netherworld race?”
She frowned. The Netherworld race had not been wiped out, and their fate had actually grown stronger. However, for some reason, her relationship with the Netherworld race had undergone an inexplicable change.
This change was very strange, and even she, a Dao realm expert, could not understand it.
“It shouldn’t be a bad thing. A stronger fate means that the Netherworld race has become stronger,” You Su muttered to herself.
She closed her eyes and continued to cultivate. At the same time, she diverted a part of her consciousness to pay attention to any messages from the Great Dao Communication Group.
The Great Dao Communication Group might be her fortuitous encounter.
Half a month later.
The Grand Elder was the first to complete the transformation. He now had a ghostly form, his strength soared, and his fate had been transformed.
He had reached the Divine realm!
The Netherworld race disappeared from his mind. He was now the King of the ghost race!
He was also the first ghost of the nine zones!
He had an inexplicable fate and an extraordinary talent.
“You created the first ghost of the nine zones and became the ghost race’s ancestor. You have been rewarded with the Fengdu Secret Realm.”
Chu Xuan was delighted. He had created the first ghost of the nine regions and, as expected, that achievement had triggered the system reward.
This branch of the Netherworld race would all become ghosts. Once the ghost race was formed, there would likely be another system reward as well.
He examined the system reward.
“Fengdu Secret Realm. It’s a gloomy, terrifying, and ghastly dwelling place for ghosts. The ghost race’s strength can be enhanced here. Their cultivation speed will be doubled… and the realm can be upgraded.”
The ghost race finally had their own pocket dimension and territory. The Fengdu Secret Realm was very similar to the rumored Netherworld.
Moreover, it could be upgraded.
Chu Xuan received the Fengdu Secret Realm and waved his hand. He activated the Fengdu Secret Realm and placed its entrance inside the ghost race’s Dark Valley. This valley would serve as the entrance to Fengdu Secret Realm.
After the Fengdu Secret Realm was set up, the Grand Elder came to Chu Xuan and knelt on the ground.
“I pay my respects to the Ghost Ancestor!”
The Grand Elder’s face was pale and bloodless. The aura around his body was extremely gloomy and exuded a sense of terror.
Chu Pingfan stood to the side and looked at this terrifying guy.
“You’re the first ghost of the nine zones, so I’ll bestow upon you the title of Fengdu Ghost King,” Chu Xuan said.
“Thank you, Ghost Ancestor!”
At this moment, the Netherworld race’s Grand Elder became the Fengdu Ghost King.
“You have bestowed the title of Fengdu Ghost King, You have received the Ghost King Seal as a reward.”
Chu Xuan accepted the reward.
A seal that was as black as ink that was engraved with the images of a hundred ghosts appeared in his hand.
He looked at the Ghost King Seal in his hand. It contained powerful Dao principles that could suppress a hundred ghosts. Once this seal appeared, none of the ghosts would dare to disobey.
Anyone holding this seal would wield the authority of the Fengdu Ghost King.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and bestowed the Ghost King Seal to the Fengdu Ghost King.
“This is the Ghost King Seal. You are the first Fengdu Ghost King.”
The Fengdu Ghost King excitedly took the Ghost King Seal and kowtowed three times.
“Go.”
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
“Yes, Ghost Ancestor!”
The Ghost King retreated and returned to the pocket dimension, then entered the Fengdu Secret Realm.
Chu Xuan looked at the remaining members of the Netherworld race. He looked forward to what rewards he would receive after they all turned into ghosts.
