    If a cultivator entered this ce, they would probably be instantly killed. If an ordinary person identally entered this ce, they would probably be so frightened that their heart would stop beating.


    Xia Ji followed the small path and leisurely walked to a dpidated ancient vige.<div>


    The big ck stone in front of the vige was engraved with the words “Chuan Liu Vige”.


    And this Chuan Liu Vige was the center of Ghost’s Domain…


    As soon as Xia Ji walked in, many pairs of eyes stared at him through the cracks in the windows and doors of the vige. It was very eerie, and there seemed to be some figures hiding behind some trees.


    There were children, young men, and young women…


    Xia Ji was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect there to be people living in this ce.


    Before he could say anything, a pale-skinned youth ran out and said carefully,”Uncle, are you here to see Lord Qiongqi?”


    Xia Ji nodded. He could sense that the person in front of him was human.


    When the young man saw that he admitted it, he suddenly became happy. Then, he waved his hand, and a group of children hiding behind the tree, as well as young men and women, ran out. Some called him brother, some called him uncle, and then a woman who could be said to be the vige beauty said shyly,”Brother, the people in our vige knew that you wereing, so they prepared a banquet. I don’t know if the people in the city would like it…”


    “Where’s Qiongqi?” Xia Ji asked, feeling puzzled.


    “Uncle, Lord Qiongqi has gone out for two days…” The youth from before said.


    “I’m not eating,” Xia Ji said.<div>


    Thus, he sat cross-legged at the vige entrance.


    The vigers did not dare to say anything more. They only looked at him from afar in fear. At dusk, a little girl with freckles on her cheeks hid behind a tree and looked at him.


    Xia Ji opened his eyes, and the little girl hid behind the tree in fear.


    “Come over,” Xia Ji waved.


    Only then did the little girl walk up to him uneasily, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.


    “What’s your name?” Xia Ji asked.


    The little girl said,”Zhao…” Zhao Ni…”


    Xia Ji took out a stick of candied haws from his storage space and handed it to her.


    Zhao Ni did not dare to take it and just looked at him.


    Xia Ji shook his hands and said with a gentle expression, “”You don’t like it?”


    Zhao Ni felt uneasy. She suddenly bent her knees and was about to kneel down, but she felt a gentle force holding her up, preventing her from kneeling.<div>


    Xia Ji stood up, peeled off the sugar coating on the candied fruit, and stuffed it into her hands. He said gently, “”Don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person.”


    Zhao Ni grabbed the candied haws like a wooden statue, her entire body tensed up.


    “Why do you all address Qiongqi as Lord?” Xia Ji asked.


    The little girl’s teeth chattered. The vige beauty from afar walked up and held the little girl’s hand. Then, she said,”Brother, can I answer?”


    Xia Ji nodded.


    The vige belle then said, ” We were originally from the Qi Kingdom’s Eternal Spring Manor, but the taxes were too heavy. In addition to the wars between the various countries, the Manor Lord called for forcedbor. The strong men in the vige were all taken away, and none of them came back…”


    “Later on, one day, this area was suddenly shrouded in fog. We were quite afraid at first, and then Lord Qiongqi appeared. He looked very terrifying, but he wouldmunicate with us from time to time…


    In the beginning, we were very afraid of Lord Qiongqi. Gradually, we realized that not only did Lord Qiongqi’s appearance not make our lives worse, but we were also far away from the heavy taxes. We didn’t have to worry about the nobles running over when we farmed, nor did we have to worry about mountain bandits. Therefore, we were quite happy.


    Later on, we set up Lord Qiongqi’s Longevity Temple and burned incense for him every day. Then, Lord Qiongqi became our guardian god.”


    Xia Ji listened to this bizarre story.


    It seemed that he still knew too little about the cktide.<div>


    The cktide in the past might have been a disaster that only knew how to kill.


    The current ck tide was still the same, but it was only for cultivators.


    To these ordinary people, the cktide in the past would have a feeling of ” ants under their feet “. They would not deliberately hurt them, nor would they deliberately protect them. If they stepped on ants, they would be considered unlucky.


    But now, the vengeful lord of the cktide would actually…Captive?


    This meant that the cktide truly wanted to control the entire human race from top to bottom. So Lust was trying to understand the human race?


    To be honest, Xia Ji felt that a ‘mortal dynasty under the control of the cktide’ might not be any better than a ‘mortal dynasty under the control of sects, aristocratic families, or other extraordinary powers’.


    After all, he had seen thetter before.


    Although the former was not good, it was not good for Extraordinaries. It would not do anything to mortals. On the contrary, these ck tides would promote the cultivation of mortals and allow them to ept the charms as soon as possible and be one of them.


    This seemed extremely ironic.


    After the vige beauty finished speaking, she took a breath and continued,”Lord Qiongqi said that you are a noble friend and asked us to entertain you well…You…”


    She turned to look at Xia Ji because she had already noticed that Xia Ji was a cultivator. She couldn’t believe that a human cultivator could be a friend of Qiong Qi.


    Therefore, she was worried.


    She was worried that the cultivator in front of her would hurt Lord Qiongqi and they would lose their peaceful lives.


    Xia Ji sensed her thoughts and smiled. “”Don’t be afraid.”


    The vige beauty could only nod and respectfully say, “”You can tell us if you need anything…”


    She crossed her hands shyly, then bowed gracefully and pulled Zhao Ni away.


    She emphasized the word ” any “. It was obvious that she had the intention of letting her body be enjoyed by the distinguished guests in front of her. For this reason, she even washed herself very clean. Her long hair hung down to her waist, and she used some rouge to make herself beautiful.


    After Zhao Ni left, she happily ate the candied haws.


    Xia Ji sat cross-legged, looking at the world around him as he entered a state of enlightenment.


    Two dayster…


    Night fell.


    The mist dispersed.


    The bright moon was high in the sky, illuminating the entire mountain vige in a dim yellow.


    A huge ck shadow came from afar. He did not hide his aura and footsteps. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of Chuan Liu Vige and nced at the man at the entrance.


    The ck shadow paused as if he had recognized this person. He said in a low voice,”It’s you? You killed Ya Zi and our foreign allies, and now you’re one of us?”


    He suddenly couldn’t suppress his anger and rushed toward Xia Ji, questioning him in a hoarse voice, “”Now, you actually used the true talisman to find my location. You’re really stupid. Do you really think you can use the true talisman? You’ve sunk yourself into this, hehehehe …”


    The coldughter spread in the dim yellow night fog, echoing in the forest and trees, producing a lot of ovepping sounds.


    “I already knew,” Xia Ji replied calmly.


    Qiong Qi was stunned for a moment. Then, he took a few steps forward, and a terrifying aura pressed over. Immediately, heughed sinisterly and said,”So you’re determined to kill me? Hey … Unfortunately, I’m no longer the same person you met more than a year ago.”


    After saying that, he spread his ink-ck wings and emitted an extremely terrifying aura. It was as if a cold current that made people feel disgusted seeped into their pores, almost freezing their souls.


    He had digested a total of five Overgod Dao runes, and he had also found a few Remnants and God Lords who had missed out on the list and devoured them. In terms of strength, Qiong Qi was already close to an Ancient Lord.


    “Get your helpers out!”


    Qiongqi pped its ck wings, and each of its hands held a long saber. It looked vignt.


    Obviously, he was also afraid of Xia Ji and his team.


    ” I don’t have any helpers, ” Xia Ji said. ” I’m not here to kill you. ”


    Qiong Qi was speechless.


    “Then what are you doing here?” he asked in confusion. From a human perspective, your actions arepletely crazy.”


    “You guys actually want to go to reincarnation, right?” Xia Ji suddenly asked.


    Lust paused. Just as Xia Ji asked this question, many strange screams came from the fog, as if they were responding to him and telling him that it was true.


    The vengeful souls hidden in the cktide might have traveled through the universe for an unknown period of time, but they only had two emotions.


    The first was revenge.


    The second was reincarnation.


    Therefore, even if they used the talisman to upy the body of a cultivator, they did not expose it and tried their best to integrate into the life of the cultivator.


    This was terrifying, but it also showed the desire of these wraiths to live a new life and return to the human world.


    Xia Ji lowered his eyes. He knew that these things had never seen the Reincarnation Stage before, or else they would know…


    The so-called reincarnation was not rebirth, but the reassembly of the soul after it was torn apart.


    Therefore, they had held on to the hope for countless years, but in fact, it had been an abyss of despair from the very beginning.
