Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1843: Chapter 1390: The Reason (2)

Jiang Fengwu shook her head almost imperceptibly. The words sounded nice, but whether they would put their heart into it was another matter. Nonetheless, she was lazy to argue and simply said:

”In the remote human cities and villages around here, there are Ghost Clan members hidden among them, harming the mortals. What you need to do is deal with these Ghost Clan members.”

Seeing a cultivator who looked like the Sect Leader showing some worry on his face, as if concerned about something, she added to reassure him, ”Don’t worry, those Ghost Clan members only have Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment cultivation. You can easily deal with them.”

”We will follow the senior’s orders!” The Sect Leader’s suspended heart immediately found peace.

”This is your reward.”

As she spoke, several rays of Spirit Light flew from Jiang Fengwu’s fingertips, along with a Jade Slip recording an Individual Immortal Realm Cultivation Technique, and some Spiritual Objects she no longer needed from the Mortal Realm.

Although these things were insignificant to her, for a weak force whose highest cultivation was no more than the Mahayana level, each item was a treasure!

Especially that Cultivation Technique, which could very likely change the entire Sect’s level, allowing them to step into the ranks of Individual Immortals!

”Thank you for the rewards, senior!” The Sect Leader’s heart surged with joy, and he quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

But when he rose, Jiang Fengwu had already disappeared.

And he immediately gathered his disciples, prepared to head to nearby towns and villages to deal with those Ghost Clan members. There was no plan to refrain from action, since no one knew whether the senior was secretly watching them?

In fact, Jiang Fengwu had already flown away.

During the following days, she quietly stayed in the small town, patiently waiting for the Ghost Clan members collecting negative emotions to arrive.

Finally, during the cold late-year season, when Yang Qi was the weakest, that Ghost Clan member appeared.

”I don’t know which fool exposed our tracks, leading to extermination by the nearby Qingyuan Sect. Fortunately, the negative emotions weren’t discovered by them, though it’s a bit less than previous years.”

The Ghost Clan member didn’t realize he was facing a fellow clan member disguised by Jiang Fengwu. He vented his feelings, ”Still, you’re smart enough to escape unharmed, but why are there so much fewer negative emotions?”

”During that time, I hid away. I didn’t dare to cause trouble in the city, so naturally, it’s less than in previous years.”

”That makes sense, but you probably won’t receive any rewards this year.”

While speaking, the Ghost Clan member took out a jar-like Magic Artifact and absorbed all the negative emotions stored in a Jade Bottle, then said, ”I still have to head to the next place, so I’ll be leaving now.”

”Alright, be careful not to get discovered by cultivators.”

”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Besides, I have a special Jade Token made by the Ghost King, so ordinary cultivators won’t be able to detect my presence.”

With that, he put away the jar-like Magic Artifact with a flick of his hand, and his body quickly faded until it completely disappeared!

A spark of brilliance flickered in Jiang Fengwu’s eyes. Sensing the Secret Technique she had discreetly planted within the Ghost Clan member, she began to take action.

Following him from afar, she visited every city and village within a thousand miles that lacked a cultivator’s presence.

Once he left, Jiang Fengwu would immediately take action, eliminating the local Ghost Clan members and restoring tranquility and peace to the local mortals.

He was utterly unaware of this, remaining unresponsive, only focusing on collecting negative emotions.

Thus, ten days passed, and he finally visited all nearby places and began flying in a certain direction.

Upon discovering this situation, Jiang Fengwu became more cautious, casting a Concealing Array upon herself and following him not too closely, nor too far.

After flying for more than half a day, the Ghost Clan member finally stopped before a large mountain. He took out a Jade Token, blending into the mountain like a water droplet merging with a lake, without causing any ripples, disappearing instantly.

Jiang Fengwu frowned and cautiously approached to investigate, discovering that the place was covered by a Human Immortal Rank Array.

For her, it posed no difficulty, but to avoid alerting a potentially large number of Ghost Clan members inside, she was extremely careful in her actions to break the Formation.

Yet even so, it only took her an hour to fully grasp the entire Formation, allowing her to seize control at any moment.

However, Jiang Fengwu didn’t take control. She silently infiltrated the inside and followed the Secret Technique she had left on the Ghost Clan member.

From the outside, it looked like a towering mountain peak, but upon entering, it was evident that the mountain’s interior had long been hollowed out, transformed into a strange and mysterious palace.

’What are the Ghost Clan members up to?’

As she walked within, she saw many Ghost Clan members gathered here, but their cultivation was low, only at Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment levels.

Carefully releasing her Divine Sense, she expanded it throughout the hollow mountain body, seeking any powerful Ghost Clan presence.

But after a thorough probe, Jiang Fengwu was surprised to find that the strongest Ghost Clan members here were merely two Human Immortals!

Given the situation, she saw no reason to hide her presence any longer and constrain herself pointlessly, as it was merely wasting time.

Boom—

The aura of a Perfect Earth Immortal burst forth like a volcanic eruption, the immense pressure swiftly permeating, leaving those low-level Ghost Clan members utterly powerless, directly forced to the ground.

If Jiang Fengwu hadn’t held back, the mere pressure would have directly crushed them into Yin Qi.

At the moment she took action, a Great Array flew out, enveloping the entire mountain, isolating the inside from the outside, preventing the Ghost Clan from communicating any messages externally.

”Speak, what is the Ghost Clan’s purpose?” She flew in front of two motionless Human Immortal Ghost Clan members, her voice icy as she inquired.

”We beg for mercy, senior. We are all just following orders, forced into this!” The two immediately began pleading.

”Answer my question!” With a thought, Jiang Fengwu intensified her pressure upon them. In only a moment, tendrils of black Qi could be seen emerging from their bodies.

This black Qi was essentially their cultivation, the root Yin Qi! As more Yin Qi dissipated, their cultivation gradually diminished.

Feeling themselves grow weaker, their painstakingly cultivated power slowly slipping away was a form of punishment far more unbearable for a cultivator than facing death itself.

”I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

One of the Ghost Clan members could no longer hold out and promptly revealed everything he knew, ”A senior at the Earth Immortal Realm wants to harness the power of negative emotions to aid his breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and also seeks to become a Divine in the process.”

”What method is this? Does it truly work?” Jiang Fengwu’s heart stirred, and she couldn’t help but press further.

”I don’t know. That senior, having failed to break through the bottleneck for years, refused to accept it and took this unconventional path, creating his own method. He aims to utilize the power of negative emotions to continuously flush his Mental State and Dao Heart, helping him overcome the bottleneck.”

This matter had caused quite a stir within the Ghost Clan at the time, with many Ghost Clan members gossiping and arguing, so they naturally had heard about it.

Hearing this, Jiang Fengwu’s previously agitated mind calmed a bit. Indeed, the Ghost Clan member who created this technique had a wild and imaginative idea, actually conceiving of using negative emotions to break through a bottleneck.

However, after giving it serious thought, she was suddenly shocked to realize that this method was essentially no different from her previously planned Red Dust Heart Refining!

The only difference being that the former was more extreme, utilizing a torrent of negative emotions over a short period to directly scour one’s Dao Heart and Mental State.

Failure to withstand it would at the very least result in one’s Dao Heart being completely shattered, and in severe cases, could lead to instant Qigong deviation!

Jiang Fengwu felt somewhat conflicted in her heart about whether to use this hastily concocted, unverified, and extremely risky method to assist her in breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

For the moment, she couldn’t make a decision.

Nonetheless, she collected the multitude of negative emotions amassed by these Demon Cultivators. Regardless of whether they would be useful, she decided to keep them first.

As for how to deal with these Ghost Clan members, she found herself in a dilemma.
