âMyriad Spirit⊠Supreme?â the younger sister burst out laughing. âSupreme? Hahahahahaha!â
âWhat? Has his reputation soured in the outside world?â Lu Yunâs eyelid twitched.
âThe Myriad Spirit Grand Supremeâs replica in the chief worlds is indeed a mere supreme,â the older sister said expressionlessly. âSince you are the grand supremeâs disciple, we will not trouble you further. Get out of here.â
âHang on, what Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme? Whatâs a grand supreme? Is that a level above regular supreme?â He knew there was more to Myriad Spirit than met the eye! How would a mere supreme, an adult of the chief worlds, dare secretly help Lu Yun so much and even create twenty thousand years of space for him?
âHigh supreme comes after supreme, and grand supreme after that!â the younger sister giggled. âToo many supremes exist to be counted, but there are very few who can make their way to grand supremes. But eh, youâre just twenty-four levels. No wonder the grand supreme hasnât told you anything.
âBig sis, weâve been exposed. That old ghost is probably watching from a distance. Itâll be hard to try again.â She turned to her older sister, her tones full of regret.
âWait a second!â Lu Yun called out when the duo prepared to leave. âDid you say old ghost? Iâm great at taking down ghosts!â
He suddenly felt that embracing his weaknesses seemed to be the best course of action. Running into two cultivators of thirty-nine levels right after entering the World of Soul Dominion and seeing them easily rip through his Argent Snow Domain⊠well, he had no choice but to bow to his deficiencies.
Admitting to oneâs shortcomings was a good thing in a place like this. Putting on a strong front would only lead to death.
He needed a thigh, a thick thigh. Otherwise, heâd be dead before he even knew what happened. Just look at how he and Chu Xingran had been ambushed the second they arrived in this world!
Lu Yun still didnât know whoâd attacked them or where the three arrows even came from. Chu Xingranâs cultivation was stronger than Lu Yunâs since heâd set foot into twenty-eight levels of sequence. He was superior both in terms of perception and strength, which was why heâd discovered the arrows and not Lu Yun.
âYou?â the younger girl looked skeptically at Lu Yun. âMy big sis broke your weird boundary with one move. That old ghost is stronger than even my sis, so what can you do to it?â
âAge cannot be used to determine depth of knowledge and even the strong can be a student! Everyone has their own set of merits and failings!â Lu Yun reeled off a spiel of Earth philosophy. âI specialize in excavating the tombs of the chief worlds and Iâm the best at catching ghosts and whatnot!
âSince I ruined your setup, I must make you whole again!â A righteous expression crept over his face. âOtherwise, this karmic debt would be difficult to pay off.â
âOnly your last sentence is true, isnât it?â The older girl curled her lip and glanced in a certain direction. It was empty. Her expression changed drastically when she looked back and saw a talisman in Lu Yunâs hand.
âThis is a Principal Nineheavens Talisman and itâs optimized for ghostly entities!â Lu Yun handed the talisman to the older girl. âThe last sentence isnât the point either, the point is that Iâm newly come to this world and was lucky enough to bump into a thirty-ninth level senior cultivator. Oh my heavens, this level of cultivator would be as rare and elite as the feathers of phoenixes and horns of qilins in the chief worlds.â
âFeathers of phoenixes and horns of qilins?â the younger girl grumbled. âYes, those beasts are rare and your analogy is apt. But in the World of Soul Dominion, most candidates are senior cultivators. A little guy of twenty-four levels like you is another feather and horn.â
Lu Yun coughed awkwardly.
âYour talisman can indeed suppress ghostly entities, but just one isnât enough. All itâll do to the old ghost is tickle it.â The older girlâs eyes grew bright the more she studied the talisman.
âThis is chaos dirt. It will conceal the ripples of your life force if you rub it over yourself.â The younger sister handed some gray dirt to Lu Yun.
âChaos dirt?â Eyes wide, Lu Yun stared at the dirt. It was truly dirt from⊠the chaos, the chaos that he knew. He immediately understood something when he saw the dirt. The Hongmeng and chaos werenât unique to the Land of Reincarnation. They existed elsewhere in the chief worlds. At the very least, the chaos existed in the World of Soul Dominion.
The two sisters were very slowly accepting Lu Yun because there was none of that dirt on him. Walking around sans dirt in this world was to court death. And since he was twenty-four levels, he was absolutely no threat to them.
âWhere does this chaos dirt come from?â he asked dumbly.
âIt doesnât have to be chaos dirt, regular dirt from the ground or anything that will conceal your vitality will do. We choose chaos dirt.â The older sister returned the talisman to Lu Yun; she didnât want to explain the dirtâs origins.
He carefully smeared the dirt over himself and discovered some impurities within that didnât come from his chaos. Lu Yun smacked himself on the forehead. His guard had relaxed too much after becoming accustomed to an easy time of things in the fourth realm. He shouldâve been much more alert when exploring a new world.
Although he concealed his life force with certain methods, they were plainly unsuited for this world. He was no different from a walking lantern in the darkness to the two sisters. Now that he covered himself with chaos dirt, he turned into the same grayish, dusty state as them. It was impossible to make out his original appearance.
âYouâre one of ours now that you have chaos dirt on you!â The younger sister smacked Lu Yunâs shoulder with a grin. âBut if your talisman canât take care of that old ghost, my sis and I will take back the handful of dirt!
âZhu Lingyan, is it? Let me introduce us. I am Moran Linglong and my big sis is Moran Linlang.â
âMoran⊠youâre from the Moran Clan?!â Lu Yun suddenly felt that he understood why Myriad Spirit had dumped him and Chu Xingran here. The supreme probably knew that the sisters were here too. Moran Linglong and Moran Linlang were willing to accept him mostly due to the fact that he was the supremeâs disciple.
From this, Lu Yun could be certain that the Myriad Spirit Supreme was deeply connected to the Morans. He didnât ask about the specifics. As a mere sequence cultivator, he didnât have the right to involve himself in the affairs of the greats.
âAlright, come with me.â Moran Linlang couldnât be bothered with answering that idiotic question. Would they dare claim Moran as their surname if they werenât from the clan? The three of them vanished with a wave of her hand.
âWhat was that talisman?? It can suppress my strength.â A ghastly white woman appeared where Lu Yun had stood and looked around with shock and trepidation. âAlthough itâs weak, it will be highly disadvantageous for me now that the Moran sisters have it!â
âŠâŠ
âSo the talisman really does work on that old ghost!â Moran Linglong clapped her hands with glee as she watched the images on a water curtain.
The three of them were in a tiny cave with a water curtain projected on one of the walls. The ghostâs image and murmuring were all relayed back to them.
âDonât fall for it,â Lu Yun waved his hand. âGhosts are most skilled at lying and tricking people. Even if the talisman really can control it, it has no need to appear and tell us. It can easily discover the tiny restriction for the water curtain in its surroundings.
âI discovered it a while ago and brought out the Principal Nineheavens Talisman to fool it. But itâs going along with our trap to trick us instead!â He frowned slightly. Nothing about the ghost was a secret to his Spectral Eye.
âHuh?â Moran Linglong looked blankly at Zhu Lingyan while her older sister glanced sharply at him. The young man who seemed harmless and a bit of a fool had set up a trap with neither of them realizing?
âThe talisman that is actually useful against the ghost is this one.â Lu Yun took out two talismans carved from enigma stoneâthe Three Purities Talisman. The Principal Nineheavens Talisman was a creation from the Grand Pure One and effective against ordinary ghosts. But when up against the ghost outside, that talisman wouldnât even tickle it.
Later on, the Three Pure Ones jointly employed formula dao to create the Three Purities Talisman. It was another talisman effective against ghostly entities, one so mighty that only one was needed to exorcise a supreme-level ghost. Of course, since Lu Yun was yet to reach their level, the talisman he created could only restrain supreme-level ghosts, not kill them.
Still, that was an impressive achievement in itself. The female ghost outside wasnât a supreme eitherâit was a fortieth level sequence ghost cultivator.
Great daos abounded in the chief worlds. If there were sects like the Corpse Refiners who walked the way of dead bodies, then there were naturally sects that focused on ghosts. The female ghost was a strong disciple from a ghost cultivation sect.
