Chapter 278: Yin Yang Body! 【 Foreshadowing 】
After Tan Zhu finished purifying those vengeful spirits, the two no longer hesitated and headed towards Youdu Mountain.
The Ghost Realm is different from the other three realms; it’s more like a mixed breed. Aside from mortals, cultivators from other realms whose souls have not dissipated after their physical bodies die can choose two paths: one is to reincarnate like mortals, and the other is to undergo the cleansing of the crimson lotus karmic fire, allowing their already existing soul bodies to solidify and become a complete member of the Ghost Realm.
Of course, if one reaches the Empty Soul Realm and can already solidify their soul power, there’s no need to suffer such a trial. They can basically roam freely in the Ghost Realm, and can even directly seize the bodies of living people.
After all, throughout the Thirty-Six Heavens, although the lower cultivation world is the weakest and the Demon Realm is the most backward, the lowest in status is actually the Ghost Race. What good can a race considered “death” be?
In short, in the Ghost Realm, although there is only Ghost Qi, there are energies of spiritual power, demonic power, and demonic energy intertwined, forming its unique characteristics.
That is to say, Ming Zhaoshuang only needs to conceal her “living person” status and doesn’t need to conceal her spiritual power.
However, there is still a difference between the spiritual power of a living person and the spiritual power of the Ghost Realm, making it easy to be seen through. Therefore, Ming Zhaoshuang also attached a Ghost Qi Talisman to herself.
She wanted to attach one to Tan Zhu as well, but saw that Tan Zhu was completely emanating Ghost Qi all over her body.
Clearly, she’s a genuine member of the Ghost Race!
Ming Zhaoshuang asked doubtfully, “Senior Sister, are you human or ghost? Even Pure Yin Maidens mostly choose the form of one of their parents.”
Tan Zhu has always appeared in the form of a “human” in the Upper Realm. Could it be that she’s now using pills to conceal herself like in the Demon Realm?
But Tan Zhu herself has a mixed bloodline of human and ghost, so there’s no need to do so.
Tan Zhu smiled gently, “Senior Sister has a special constitution, she can be human or ghost.”
This is the second time Ming Zhaoshuang has heard the phrase “special constitution” from Tan Zhu. She slightly furrowed her brow, “So, Senior Sister, everything you just said is true?”
When you transform into a human, everyone around you will have terrible luck; when you transform into a ghost, all the ghosts around you will have terrible luck.
“Yes, Senior Sister’s constitution is probably the first of its kind in a hundred thousand years.”
Tan Zhu smiled, “I have two Dantians, one Yin and one Yang. When my Golden Core is in the Yin field, I am a ghost; when my Golden Core is in the Yang field, I am human. I can say I can choose to be human or ghost, and Honored Master also encountered someone like me for the first time.”
“And because I have two Dantians, my cultivation speed is about twice that of others. Honored Master calls my constitution ‘Yin-Yang Body’.”
Ming Zhaoshuang had never heard of such a constitution before.
She was a little surprised, “Is it that strange?”
Tan Zhu said, “No matter how strange, it’s useless. Senior Sister is just a Supreme Wood Spirit Root, it’s useless.”
【 Indeed, what’s the use of a Wood Spirit Root? It’s just waste. 】
“Who says that,” Ming Zhaoshuang retorted, “The Wood Spirit Root is the most resilient and inclusive spirit root in this world. It can extend its own lifespan, provide healing for teammates, and it’s even very likely to become the key to turning the tide of a battle. Although Wood Spirit Roots do not possess powerful lethality like other spirit roots, they are definitely not inferior to other spirit roots!”
“Senior Sister’s spirit root is very good!”
Although Ming Zhaoshuang doesn’t have a Wood Spirit Root, the System does.
With the System, she never has to worry about getting injured or being close to death. As long as she has one breath left, she can still fight, still battle, and still survive!
It can be said to be her strongest backing and most solid confidence.
Tan Zhu pursed her lips and said nothing.
It seemed something was urging her in her ear, causing her to sigh after a long while:
“But in this world, powerful lethality is always better than gentle healing.”
“No! Fourth Senior Sister, the rigid breaks easily, the soft endures. Gentleness is also a form of strength!”
Ming Zhaoshuang thought for a moment, feeling that Tan Zhu seemed to have some concerns, and persuaded her:
“Besides, even if Fourth Senior Sister wants to do something, just leave it to us! The biggest characteristic of our Ming Ye Sect is our protectiveness! Although Fourth Senior Sister is a Wood Spirit Root, the spirit roots of our other fellow disciples are all exceptionally powerful!”
Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t know why Tan Zhu disliked her spirit root, but she could tell that Tan Zhu had a story and felt wronged, so she was willing to say this.
No matter what it is, let’s protect her first!
As long as Tan Zhu doesn’t do anything outrageous that angers both gods and men, they can all turn a blind eye.
That’s right, this is their Ming Ye Sect: selfish and full of personality.
Tan Zhu smiled, and a slight spiritual light flashed in her charming peach blossom eyes. Her voice was soft and her tone was light, “That’s right, Little Eleventh is the most powerful Innate Ice-Lightning Dual Spirit Root in this world. Then remember, you must help Senior Sister get revenge in the future.”
【Hahaha, still thinking about revenge? Do you know who Tan Zhu is facing? 】
“I will, I will!”
“Hahaha, alright.”
Tan Zhu laughed twice, “The most special thing about my constitution isn’t that I have two Dantians and can transform into two forms, but that my fate also changes with the transformation of one of the forms. When I am human, people around me have bad luck; when I am a ghost, I have bad luck.”
“That’s magical?”
Tan Zhu nodded and said with a smile, “Senior Sister will give you an example.”
“At first, I hadn’t formed my Golden Core and didn’t know how to transform into human or ghost. When I was human, I caused my birth parents to break up; when I was a ghost, I caused the death of my friend. Later, I finally escaped the Ghost Realm and was adopted by humans, but I still caused the death of my adoptive parents.”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s heart trembled upon hearing this.
But she still appeared unconcerned, her slender eyebrows slightly raised, looking towards Ming Zhaoshuang with a touch of sentimentality:
“So, with a constitution like Senior Sister’s, you’re destined to be alone, understand? Little Eleventh, if you pull me into your Ming Ye Sect, aren’t you afraid of dying?”
【 A constitution like that, it’s better to get lost sooner rather than later. 】
“Not afraid!”
Ming Zhaoshuang replied firmly, “I don’t believe in these real or fake things. If I am to have great misfortune, it has nothing to do with Fourth Senior Sister.”
Tan Zhu’s smile froze, “The auction…”
【 If it weren’t for her taking away the Pure Yin Maiden, Feng He wouldn’t have fallen unconscious, and Ming Zhaoxue would probably have woken up by now. 】
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “The auction has nothing to do with Fourth Senior Sister, I’m going to brave it myself! Besides, if it weren’t for the Yellow Springs Water that Senior Sister gave me, my Honored Master probably wouldn’t have lasted that long.”
Ming Zhaoshuang had this much ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Although it was Tan Zhu who took away the Pure Yin Maiden, causing the entire auction hall to be trapped, what Tan Zhu did was a good deed, something she should have done. There was nothing wrong with it!
Moreover, Tan Zhu gave her so many pills and Yellow Springs Water without asking anything, and even warned them that the auction was extremely dangerous. She was clearly a kind person with a beautiful heart, so how could she possibly shift the blame to Tan Zhu?
Was her brain malfunctioning?
Ming Zhaoshuang’s words were so firm that Tan Zhu didn’t know what to say.
Finally, she only said, “Let’s discuss it at Youdu Mountain.”
Regardless of anything else, the Yellow Springs Water of Youdu Mountain was their goal.
Both of their Honored Masters had fallen into slumber.
