Chapter 162: Chapter 59: Ten Consecutive Draws [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

The following day, Chu Liang received a flying letter from Tontian Peak.

The gist of the message was that Jiang Yuebai, a disciple from Biluo Peak, had manifested the Zhou Tian Phenomenon at the Fourth Realm. At noon that day, she would hold a lecture for all disciples from all peaks. All members of the Shu Mountain Sect interested could attend in person.

"Wow..."

Chu Liang exclaimed, for this was a rather rare occurrence.

It was not uncommon to have outstanding disciples share their experiences with others, but a lecture organized by Unbounded Palace was indeed a grand event.

In the past, such events were reserved for figures like the four Elders of Zhenshan or Peak Masters who had had epiphanies after their seclusion periods.

After all, meaningful insights required a certain level of cultivation, which was impossible without reaching a certain stage.

Having a Fourth Realm disciple give a lecture was probably a first for Shu Mountain. Rather than sharing experiences, Chu Liang thought this was more about paving the way for Senior Sister Jiang.

Her Perfect Cycle was indeed impressive, but the key point was her Immortal Spirit Body, and it was unlikely she could share advanced reincarnation experiences.

Chu Liang guessed that this was because no matter how popular Jiang Yuebai had been before, her popularity was achieved from the bottom to the top. This lecture could establish her prestige from the top down, making her a natural leader among contemporary disciples.

If one day she became the Chief Disciple, she would be the undisputed face of Shu Mountain Sect. Even without this title, she would still have immense influence.

Reading a sign from a single leaf...

Chu Liang’s thoughts continued to expand. The reason for doing such was likely related to the previous "return of the demon god".

In peaceful eras, the Shu Mountain Upper Echelon would not need to raise a disciple to such prominence. But now they had done so, because the new generation of Shu Mountain urgently needed a leader.

Under the cloud of an impending war, Shu Mountain needed to be a cohesive Immortal Sect, for both the older and newer generations.

Next, the Shu Mountain higher-ups would probably shift a significant amount of resources toward the core disciples, rather than distributing them randomly as before.

"Sigh."

Chu Liang sighed, a trace of dread creeping over him as he imagined the impending catastrophe the Mortal Realm would soon face.

But only a few people would think of such, as everyone on Shu Mountain was essentially thrilled about this event, and nobody doubted her abilities.

After all, as long as Immortal Jiang took the stage, they would be in love with it no matter what she spoke about, even if it was about postnatal care for spirit beasts.

...

There was still plenty of time, so Chu Liang decided to head to the Chuan Jian Hall first.

Last night, at midnight, Wen Yulong suddenly sent a paper crane, telling Chu Liang that he was ready to open the Evil Ksitigarbha.

Chu Liang woke up to the noise outside the window, shook his head continuously when he saw the message, and wondered if those in research needed no rest?

He didn’t go there until the next morning.

Arriving, he saw Wen Yulong still sitting there, vibrant and energetic, not appearing tired at all.

Chu Liang couldn’t help admiring him.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Chu, you’re finally here! I’ve been impatiently waiting." Wen Yulong said, evidently quite eager to see what was inside the Evil Ksitigarbha.

A guide envoy of the Underworld King Sect and a Sixth Realm cultivator, the treasures he carried would undoubtedly be a small trove!

"Alright, let’s get it started then." Chu Liang smiled.

Wen Yulong placed the Evil Ksitigarbha on the table and took out a pure black pearl the size of a fist.

"After some research, I found that this Evil Ksitigarbha doesn’t have any special Seal Techniques. It can only be opened using the Yin attributed True Qi cultivated using the Underworld King Sect Cultivation Technique. So, I found this Yin Spirit Pearl which is capable of transforming any True Qi injected into it into Yin attribute before releasing it."

He explained the principle to Chu Liang.

"Junior Brother Wen, you are indeed clever." Chu Liang immediately praised him.

Everything was ready.

Wen Yulong then brought the Yin Spirit Pearl to the Evil Ksitigarbha, injected the True Qi, and the Evil Ksitigarbha’s eyes flashed. In an instant, a large amount of Yin Qi and Resentment Qi were released, making the room as cold as an ice cave.

Without him saying it, Chu Liang could feel it too. The Evil Ksitigarbha had opened its storage space.

"Now let’s see what treasures are inside..." Wen Yulong continued to take out the items one by one.

The excitement in his eyes was akin to the thrill of opening a mystery box.

Clang, clang, clang.

The first thing he took out was a token that Chu Liang recognized, "This is a Soul Summoning Order."

Moreover, it was a Guide Envoy-level Soul Summoning Order. Unfortunately, the South Route Guide had duly perished. This Soul Summoning Order was already useless.

"That’s no good then." Wen Yulong sighed, his luck with the first draw was not very good.

"Let me have a go." Chu Liang couldn’t help but reach out his hand.

"You go ahead." Wen Yulong immediately made way.

Chu Liang used his Divine Sense to select an object, which turned out to be a silk pouch. He opened it to find three palm-sized dark green leaves, cold and eerie to the touch.

"Is this... Miro Green Leaf?" Wen Yulong identified them after a moment’s hesitation.

Hearing this, Chu Liang found it familiar. He knew this was used for containment of ghosts.

"It must be the instrument the Guide Envoy used to control his soul. It’s a shame that once he died, all the souls he controlled also perished." Wen Yulong continued.

There is a fundamental difference between soul cultivation and soul control.

For instance, in the case of Fei Qi, he would offer help when asked, with both sides on equal footing. This was soul cultivation. Meanwhile, soul control involved refining the ghost into a slave who, upon the master’s death, would also dissipate.

Chu Liang grasped why he’d felt a rush of cold resentment when he initially opened the Evil Ksitigarbha. It had been left by the dissipating ghosts.

"So it’s useless then." He said.

"But the Miro Green Leaf itself is a valuable material." Wen Yulong tried to console him.

Immediately after, he took something else from the Evil Ksitigarbha - a round pot. Inside were five small balls.

Chu Liang’s eyes lit up when he saw this, "These are the Mystic Yin Thunder Killers."

This was a good item. Last time he defeated a severely wounded Giant Lizard of the Fifth Realm using just three.

"Indeed." After examining them, Wen Yulong nodded, "These are Mystic Yin Thunder Killers refined by the Underworld King Sect. Their effect is quite powerful."

It was Chu Liang’s turn, and he took something out.

It was a pure black longsword, enveloped with a thick aura of blood and resentment. Just gripping it caused a sharp pain in his brain. He flinched, and the sword fell to the ground.

Even when the sword was withdrawn, the Beheading Red Famous Sword in the White Pagoda shimmered. This blood aura was indeed potent!

"My god, this is the Netherworld Spirit Sword!" Wen Yulong did not pick it up, but immediately took out a piece of yellow cloth to cover it.

"This is an exclusive magic weapon of the Underworld King Sect, specifically for harvesting the souls of the living to enhance the Sword Master’s cultivation. The more people it kills, the stronger its power." Wen Yulong explained, "Given the immense power of this sword, countless souls must have suffered within it!"

Chu Liang nodded, understanding this to be another form of the Underworld Heavenly Book - an extremely evil magic artifact.

"These demonic cultivators of the Underworld King Sect truly deserve to die."

He carefully wrapped the Netherworld Spirit Sword and set it aside. Then Wen Yulong went on to take out another item.

What appeared in his hand was a piece of pink brocade with a few red strings and a delicately embroidered black lotus.

"What is this?" Chu Liang asked, puzzled.

"Seems like a belly band?" Wen Yulong looked a little stunned too.

I didn’t even know it was a belly band... Chu Liang was speechless. He was just wondering why such an item was in the South Route Guide’s storage space.

This was, after all, a grown man.

Even if he had a sweetheart, collecting things like this was somewhat strange, right...?

"The material is high-quality brocade, there’s no spiritual presence... The stitching is meticulous, the style is typical of Jiangnan... it’s a bit dirty, probably unwashed after being removed........"

After carefully inspecting it, Wen Yulong kept guessing as he analysed it. It seemed he was as confused as Chu Liang, not understanding why the mighty demon head treasured such an object.

"I’m still not sure, let me take another look..."
