The Tray Ghost trembled all over with excitement.

It mustered all its strength and shouted: "Ghost friend, this is the Yanling Ghost King, it's the Yanling Ghost King!"

But it didn't realize that its voice was actually very small and soft.

So small that, even though Chen Xu heard it, he seemed to not care much.

The Tray Ghost was so anxious, wishing it could grow ten thousand and eight hundred hands to push Chen Xu, to shake him awake, urging him to seriously listen to what it said.

But Chen Xu had already arrived opposite the Yin Yang Infinite Scale with the Yanling Ghost King.

The immense Yin Yang Infinite Scale appeared at least ten zhang high, with a column standing like an ancient monument in the very center of the vast Ghost Market.

Connecting the dimly lit sky, with Yin and Yang pans on the left and right.

Dark golden chains hung down from the boundless sky, connecting the left and right pans, seemingly carrying an eternal constant.

Azure-gold bases with flame patterns loomed around, yet approaching them seemed to make audible the blazing sound of Karmic Fire that trembles the Divine Souls of all beings, living and dead!

Swish, swish——

The fire burned Yin and Yang, and inside, countless sentient beings seemed to howl and writhe.

"Don't burn me, I am guilty, I confess!"

"A lifetime of turmoil, is it really my fault? I refuse, I refuse..."

"Hate, I hate so much! Kill, I must kill, kill, kill!"

"Wretch, get out..."

The ghostly cries varied, some clear, some blurry.

Some seemed to be in crazy murmurs, some as if in sorrowful ballads.

"Oh soul, wander and linger, cross over the Wangchuan River.

With bones as oars, and ghostly fire as sails..."

The sound of Karmic Fire roared, sometimes seeming right before the eyes, sometimes as if in the distant heavens.

That was the ethereal flame, burning away worldly greed, hatred, delusion, love, and enmity...

The Tray Ghost floated beside Chen Xu, trembling with fear.

Afraid that if it wasn't held tight, it would fall into that Karmic Fire.

It wanted to shout again, but suddenly realized Chen Xu and the Yanling Ghost King were already sitting cross-legged at a stall in front of them.

The Tray Ghost was suddenly dazed, quickly spinning its tray body in a whirl, only then regaining its senses, huh, where were those Karmic Fires around?

It turned out they were now at the inner circle of the Ghost Market, in front of the stall closest to the Yin Yang Infinite Scale.

It was just because they were so close that the Tray Ghost was affected by the mysterious aura of the Divine Artifact, causing its Divine Thoughts to fluctuate and seeming to hear the sound of Karmic Fire.

But now, upon closer inspection, the bustle of the Ghost Market was as usual.

Near the giant scales, though flames seemed to loom at times, the vast recitations that echoed in the Tray Ghost's ears moments ago were clearly absent.

So was it all just an illusion?

No, the Tray Ghost knew it was definitely not an illusion!

Rather, the Divine Artifact had sensed something—

Legend has it, in the Yellow Springs Ghost Market, if a true Tianjiao Ghost Spirit passed under the Yin Yang Infinite Scale, this Divine Artifact would automatically sense and unleash various supernatural trials.

If a Ghost Spirit could pass the trials, it could acquire a mystical reward in the unseen.

It is said that many years ago, the Ghost Lord of the Wildlands comprehended the All-Encompassing Celestial Net Technique under the Yin Yang Infinite Scale!

Only then could it guard the Wildlands Plains, opening a thousand acres of Ghost Field upon what was once barren wasteland.

Now, the Ghost Lord of the Wildlands has become a legendary powerful ghost creature.

The Tray Ghost naturally didn't think the earlier anomaly was because it triggered the Yin Yang Infinite Scale, knowing full well its own limits.

It speculated that it was probably implicated by being too close to a true Tianjiao.

Being swept by a mysterious aura triggered by the Yin Yang Infinite Scale, it was then shocked by seeing the Karma Fire Illusion.

So who truly triggered the Divine Artifact's sense earlier?

The Tray Ghost had no heart, but at this moment, it seemed to hear its own heart beating violently.

It glanced around.

The Ghost Market was filled with the sounds of selling, laughter, discussion... The hustle and bustle was as usual.

It was strange that earlier the "Hanged Ghost" bro made such a big commotion cooking porridge in the street, still discussed nostalgically by all the ghosts.

But everyone seemed blind now, unable to see the "Hanged Ghost" bro sitting at his stall with the Yanling Ghost King.

In the bustling Ghost Market, only this spot seemed like a sole haven.

The Tray Ghost's imagined "heart" pounded, its gaze carefully slipped away from the Yanling Ghost King, suddenly skimming over the "Hanged Ghost" bro.

Which of these two could be the Tianjiao sensed by the Divine Artifact?

If according to common sense, it should naturally be the Yanling Ghost King.

But in reality, the Yanling Ghost King often set up a stall opposite the Yin Yang Infinite Scale; if it were to trigger the Divine Artifact, he probably would've sensed it dozens of times already, why wait until now?

Eliminating the Yanling Ghost King, there's only one possibility left.

The Tray Ghost felt its "breathing" starting to quicken again, though it had long lost the ability to breathe, yet in this haze, it only felt as if a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

Running through its lungs, making it dare not think, yet unable to ignore the thought.

It's the "Hanged Ghost" bro!

If the Tianjiao triggering the Divine Artifact's sense wasn't the Yanling Ghost King, then it could only be the "Hanged Ghost" bro.

This, this, this, what kind of luck is this?

In the vast Ghost Market, the "Hanged Ghost" bro sneaked across the Yellow Springs, and then, without early or late, without deviation, appeared by its Tray Ghost side just in time.

Meeting it, befriending it.

Now, the "Hanged Ghost" bro ignores everyone, yet insists on dragging it, the Tray Ghost, along.

What does this mean?

The Tray Ghost quivered with excitement, filled with emotion, its "breathing" rapid, its "heart" beating like a drum.

This is fate, this is opportunity!

No wonder the "Hanged Ghost" bro was able to sneak across the Yellow Springs, also no wonder he could be so calm and composed facing the Yanling Ghost King.

If this ghost is not an ordinary ghost, but a Tianjiao ghost creature, then doesn't it all make sense?

As a Tianjiao, the "Hanged Ghost" bro should be quite young.

The Tray Ghost's mind raced, heart pounding like thunder.

It spun its tray, stealing glances at Chen Xu, unable to resist speculating on what specific Divine trial he faced earlier?

Did he pass the trial?

Why did he seem so composed the entire time he walked by?

Did the Yin Yang Infinite Scale's sense and trial not cause any emotional fluctuations in him?

What did he gain?

The Tray Ghost indulged in wild thoughts, its heart restless.

At times, it speculated on what Chen Xu might have received, at times recalling its initial encounters with the "Hanged Ghost" bro when it seemed to make some inappropriate probes.

Sigh!

The Tray Ghost was anxious and wished it could instantly grow a hand to slap itself hard.

Damn your loose mouth, tsk!

Chen Xu, unaware of the turbulent waves in the heart of the Tray Ghost he controlled beside him,

Wasn't actually as composed and calm as he outwardly appeared.

Earlier, as he passed the Yin Yang Infinite Scale, Chen Xu suddenly sensed something as he gazed up at the Divine Artifact.

He observed the structure and spirit of the scales, and suddenly comprehended a Divine Power.
