Chapter 307 - 306: Can I Just Kill Them?

The Hundred Ghosts Dao was a great path pioneered by the Hundred Ghosts King. When Jiang Qiu used the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique to select Snow as his Cultivation Dish, he suddenly felt his own deficient Dharma Aspect being partially restored. Simultaneously, a strange connection formed on the soul level.

It was somewhat similar to Ice Lotus’s Ice and Snow Contract. When Snow absorbed Nether Dark Spirit Charm, it could be continuously converted and transferred to him.

But its current state was far from being as efficient as the Ice and Snow Contract. Back then, Ice Lotus could even purify Soul Ice Spirit Charm on her own and refine it to supply her Cultivation.

But now, the Nether Dark Spirit Charm he absorbed from Snow was just a few wisps—pitifully little.

’Is it because we’re in the Yin Yang Great Realm, where Cultivation is inherently slow? Or is it that Nether Dark Spirit Charm is simply hard to absorb when cultivating the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique?’

"How are you feeling now? Any discomfort?"

Jiang Qiu looked at Snow, but he couldn’t see any pained expression on her face... Oh, right. She didn’t have a face, just a mask.

’Tsk, I’m really not used to this. Everyone in this world wears a mask. You can’t see their faces or their expressions. The only thing that reveals any emotion is their eyes.’

"No discomfort..." Snow hesitated for a moment, as if she were trying something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a wisp of purple-black light burst from between her fingers. "Wow, is this Spirit Charm? I can cultivate!"

VWOOM—

More Nether Dark Spirit Charm surged into Jiang Qiu’s body through the invisible connection of the Law. His pupils constricted as he stared at Snow with wide eyes. "Her Cultivation speed suddenly picked up."

The Cultivation, that is, was solely on Snow’s part. After all, he was already in the Dao Entry Realm; such a minuscule amount of Spirit Charm was practically weightless to him.

’And this was precisely what was so miraculous about the Hundred Ghosts Dao. It allowed the Cultivation Dish to cultivate just like him. Was it something like sharing Cultivation progress?’

The Cultivation Dish’s Cultivation is synced to his own body. Her physical state, at every moment, is held in the palm of his soul’s hand.

It could be said that a being used as a Cultivation Dish could never escape the Cultivator of the Hundred Ghosts Dao for their entire life.

With a single thought, he could also cause Snow’s soul to collapse. It was the absolute suppression of a subordinate by a superior.

"Elder Bell Fish has already taught you the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique, right?"

Jiang Qiu asked, casually linking Snow’s Yin Net with his own. Suddenly, all sorts of lively ’emoji stickers’ popped into his mind, as if reflecting her current inner state.

’Indeed. To be considered the strongest genius of her generation right from birth, only to be unable to cultivate for over a decade... what a profound regret that must have been.’

Now that the path of Cultivation was open to her, it meant she had a chance to prove herself. She finally had an opportunity to show everyone in the Hundred Ghosts Sect her true Talent.

’How could she not be happy?’

"A different Elder Zhao Sheng taught me the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique a long time ago. It’s the complete version in my mind; I can cultivate all the way to the Peeping Dao Realm with it!"

Snow was ecstatic. She didn’t seem to think becoming Jiang Qiu’s Cultivation Dish was a terrible thing at all. From now on, her very life would be dominated by Jiang Qiu, but she didn’t care.

’Being able to cultivate was good enough.’

At this, Jiang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, his guilt lessening slightly. He had only wanted to see if he could walk a second great Dao, curious about the mysteries of the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique. He never actually thought it would succeed.

’Now that it had come to this, with Snow truly becoming my Cultivation Dish, I have no choice but to continue cultivating this way.’

In fact, being able to cultivate the Hundred Ghosts Communication Technique would make his plan to gather information much more convenient. He might not even need to leave the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

Besides, now that Snow could cultivate, he could train her to gather information for him.

"Do you know the Cultivation level of the strongest person in our generation in the Hundred Ghosts Sect?"

Jiang Qiu pressed further.

"Our generation?" Snow thought for a moment. "A generation is a hundred years. The strongest in our generation has already reached the Perfection of the Dharma Realm and is about to break into the Peeping Dao Realm."

"Fusion Realm..."

Jiang Qiu muttered. Raising Snow to the Peeping Dao Realm in three years seemed utterly inconceivable. ’Does this mean I’ll have to take action myself in the end?’

’Forget it. I’ll take it one step at a time. First, I need to get a clear understanding of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.’

Saying no more, Jiang Qiu had Snow lead him on a tour of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, claiming he wanted to see the scenery of this world.

She didn’t hesitate at all, skipping ahead of him. As she walked, she introduced every pillar and floor tile of Elder Bell Fish’s palace.

Even after leaving the palace, she just circled a pillar, dawdling for a long time before finally heading down the mountain at Jiang Qiu’s urging. Her eyes were still shining brightly.

"Eh? Why is Snow out here? And there’s someone with her."

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice drifted over from not far away. A few ordinary disciples, who had been gathered together meditating and cultivating, noticed Jiang Qiu and Snow’s arrival.

They weren’t very old and looked quite short, perhaps only around ten years old. They wore ordinary disciple robes, and their overall bearing was inferior to the group he saw when Bell Fish first brought him here.

’They must be very ordinary disciples.’

"Heh, the girl from the Yin Yang Summoned Life, who made it snow all over the Hundred Ghosts Sect. Look at her now, reduced to a cleaning maid. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

One of them, a kid wearing an ox-head ghost mask, stood up. The mockery and ridicule in his gaze were undisguised. That mask was truly expressive.

Hearing him speak, the others turned their gazes over one by one. A buzz of discussion instantly arose. Snow’s body tensed up, and she lowered her head, the joy in her eyes completely gone.

For all these years, she could never shake the title of "Peerless Genius from the Yin Yang Summoned Life." Everyone knew that a decade ago, the Hundred Ghosts Sect’s Yin Yang Summoned Life produced a girl named Snow who triggered a cosmic phenomenon, blanketing the entire Sect in snow.

But the immense attention she received inevitably attracted a great deal of jealousy. They had to watch as a newborn infant became the direct disciple of an Elder Zhao Sheng and was even pre-selected as a candidate for Saint Heir.

Everyone else was born locally, their families having exhausted every means to get them into the Sect. It was an extreme test of Talent and fate.

How could they compare to someone like Snow, a great genius who came from the Yin Yang Summoned Life!

Back when she was glorious, they couldn’t hope to reach her, craning their necks with jealousy and envy. Later, when it was discovered she couldn’t cultivate, she was tossed to the lowest-ranking Elder, Bell Fish, to work as a maid.

Just thinking about it was satisfying. See? The legendary peerless genius wasn’t all that great after all!

Harboring these thoughts, the few disciples led by the kid in the ox-head ghost mask laughed out loud, ostentatiously showing off the Minor Secret Techniques they had spent who-knows-how-long cultivating.

Seeing this, Snow still felt terrible, even though she was used to it. But at that very moment, a sentence popped into her head: "Life in the Yin Yang Great Realm can be revived indefinitely. Can I just kill them?"
