Chi Sha stood motionless, her gaze slowly sweeping over the "ghosts." Her expression was indifferent, unsurprised by this turn of events.

Since countless bodies were buried here, the yin energy was extremely heavy, so it was inevitable that many unclean things would linger. Now, these unclean things had just been revealed by the Point Blade Array.

Luo Xiu set down the Thousand Mechanism Disc and slowly stood up, his eyes also sweeping over them. Suddenly, he raised his right hand high, palm facing the sky.

"Supreme Jade Pure King, Dominate Heaven Thirty-Six."

"From the Nine Heavens, purify all, transform the ten directions of the world!"

As the thunderous incantations echoed, streaks of lightning began to gather in the palm of Luo Xiu's right hand. This was the Thunder Law, a Taoist Art he had learned on Ghost Valley Mountain.

The resentment of these unclean things was deep, and it seemed they had no intention of letting him go. Therefore, he decided to obliterate them all.

"Hold on, Sir!"

Just then, the Point Blade Array flickered, and an urgent male voice emerged from it. The voice was somewhat hoarse and deep, familiar to Luo Xiu from the first time he had used the array.

Luo Xiu's right hand suddenly clenched, trapping the lightning in his palm. He looked toward the Point Blade Array and asked, "What is it?"

A barely visible wisp of smoke drifted out from the array and condensed into a clear figure. He was tall, dressed in a black and gold robe, with long, fluttering hair. His face was not handsome, but it was filled with dignity.

This was the King of the Spirit Realm.

"Sir, may I handle these Wandering Spirits?"

However, in front of Luo Xiu, the King of the Spirit Realm appeared rather simple and honest, entirely lacking the dignified aura of a "king."

"Wandering Spirits?" Luo Xiu furrowed his brow.

"Yes, the Wandering Spirits I mentioned to you before," the King of the Spirit Realm said. "In this world's terms... you can understand them as 'ghosts.'"

After thinking for a moment, he began to explain in detail. "When people die, they generate an energy similar to 'waves,' which we call soul waves. However, the soul waves from ordinary people dissipate quickly, vanishing into nothingness. This happens almost instantly in daylight.

"The souls of Martial Artists are stronger than those of ordinary people, so their soul waves persist for some time after death before dissipating. During this period, if their soul waves gather with others and they hide together in dark places, they can survive for a significantly long time—perhaps forever.

"Of course, many other factors affect how long soul waves can last, such as deep resentment. In short, these soul waves that float freely in nature are what we call 'Wandering Spirits.'"

"I see," Luo Xiu said, nodding. He felt he had learned something new today.

I never thought that's how "ghosts" came to be.

The King of the Spirit Realm continued, "Sir, you may not know this, but my physical body was destroyed and my soul is weak. If I hadn't hidden within the Point Blade Array, I would have dissipated long ago. Right now, I need these Wandering Spirits to strengthen my soul body."

Luo Xiu replied, "Then please, go ahead. Just make sure they don't disturb me."

"Rest assured, Sir! With me here, no one will disturb you!"

Luo Xiu paid him no more mind and sat down cross-legged, turning his attention to Chi Sha.

"Her Majesty the Queen, shall we begin?"

But Chi Sha's gaze was fixed on the King of the Spirit Realm, her expression filled with wariness.

At that moment, the King of the Spirit Realm was like a tiger in a sheep pen. He laughed joyfully, sending the terrified Wandering Spirits scattering in all directions. With a simple inhalation, he swallowed the fleeing spirits whole, giving them no chance to struggle.

Chi Sha slowly retracted her gaze, looked at Luo Xiu, and asked, "That guy is clearly terrifying and doesn't belong to this world. Why does he seem so afraid of you?"

Luo Xiu shrugged. "I don't know."

Chi Sha looked deeply into Luo Xiu's eyes. "What is your background?"

Luo Xiu changed the subject. "Are you going to teach me the secret technique or not?"

Chi Sha let out a cold huff. She walked over, crouched in front of Luo Xiu, and said, "Tell that guy not to absorb all the Wandering Spirits. He should leave a few."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

A long while passed before Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Queen Chi Sha, who was still in front of him, and felt a sudden urge to reach out and brush aside the long hair covering her body. At that moment, her right palm was pressed against his forehead.

"Did you remember everything I just transferred to you?" she asked.

Luo Xiu nodded.

Chi Sha withdrew her hand, and her soul body transformed into a wisp of smoke that burrowed into Luo Xiu's body. Her voice then echoed in his mind, "Any secret technique related to the soul is based on the strength of one's Divine Sense.

"The cultivation of Divine Sense has three stages: Wandering Soul, Subtle Entry, and Divine Separation.

"The so-called Wandering Soul is projecting the Divine Sense outward to observe scenes beyond your line of sight.

"Subtle Entry is the ability to use Divine Sense to see minute things, such as bacteria.

"Divine Separation is the ability to merge Divine Sense with Spiritual Power. This allows it to materialize to a certain extent, thus inflicting physical damage on a target.

"If you can cultivate your Divine Sense to the Subtle Entry stage, you will be able to perfectly perform my Soul Capturing Technique."

After another long while, Luo Xiu slowly stood up and looked around. He found that the King of the Spirit Realm's belly had become enormous, bulging as if he were pregnant. The King was floating beside the Point Blade Array, a simple smile on his face as he stared unblinkingly at Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Heh heh... Um, Sir, could I perhaps borrow some of your Spiritual Power?" the King of the Spirit Realm asked with a sheepish smile. He had absorbed too many Wandering Spirits and couldn't digest them all at once. He was bloated and needed Luo Xiu's Spiritual Power to help.

Luo Xiu was generous. With a casual wave, he threw a strand of Azure Spiritual Power toward the King.

The King of the Spirit Realm opened his mouth and inhaled it, then spoke with a look of pure satisfaction. "Thank you, Sir! Your Spiritual Power is, without a doubt, the most powerful I have ever encountered!"

Luo Xiu asked, "What's your name?"

The King of the Spirit Realm took a moment to recall. "My original name was Lin Tong."

Luo Xiu smiled. "You don't have to call me 'Sir' anymore. It feels strange. Just use my name."

"Then... may I become your follower?" Lin Tong asked cautiously, his eyes filled with hope.

By becoming brothers with such a terrifying master of Azure Spiritual Power, Lin Tong felt he had won at life. In his experience, there were very few beings in the entire universe who possessed Azure Spiritual Power.

"As you wish."

"Big Brother! Please accept your humble brother's bow!" Lin Tong exclaimed, bowing hastily for fear that Luo Xiu might change his mind.

Luo Xiu waved his hand, signaling for Lin Tong to hide back in the Point Blade Array. He then picked up the array and started walking toward the yacht.

He had been out for so long, and he worried that Su Shenyun and the other women had grown anxious. Moreover, after seeing Chi Sha's exquisite figure, he could feel the effects of the Sky Yin Pill inside him threatening to flare up again. He needed to hurry back and get Su Shenyun's help.
