My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 201 - 144: The Buddhist Verse atop Heaven-Flipping Ghost City (Part 2)

Chapter 201: Chapter 144: The Buddhist Verse atop Heaven-Flipping Ghost City (Part 2)

This sort of thing sounds really exciting.

Li Changqing couldn’t even imagine how powerful someone would be at the legendary Innate Realm.

Could the Han Sha Ancient Temple really be so formidable as to have produced two such figures?

But whenever the Han Sha Ancient Temple was mentioned, Li Changqing would think of the one he encountered in the painting. Was that truly the Han Sha Ancient Temple that once produced two Buddhas?

"The two Buddhas consecutively sealed the other two Ghost Cities, also sealing them within this Secret Realm."

"Later, some said it was Immortals who took action, while others believed it was the virtue of heaven, giving the Ghost Race a chance. Every ten years, the power of the Buddhist chant would weaken, giving the Ghost Race an opportunity to escape from this Ghostly Realm."

"Every decade is a cycle, so the Ghostly Realm Trial is about allowing the Human Race’s disciples to enter and prevent the Ghost Race from escaping, as the rules here impose many restrictions on the Human Race. Even the number of entrants and items brought in are limited."

After listening to Zhang Yuanzhi, Li Changqing couldn’t help but ask, "Since this Ghostly Realm is so dangerous, why not have all the Human Race experts invade it collectively and exterminate all the Ghost Race members?"

"Impossible."

Zhang Yuanzhi shook his head, "Upon entering this Ghostly Realm, apart from disciples of the Postnatal Realm, the cultivation of other experts would be restricted. This doesn’t seem to be the rule of the heavens but rather due to the Buddhist chant that suppresses all powerful forces."

"Thus, in this Heaven-Flipping Ghost City, both the Ghost Race and the Human Race are balanced by the rules. Moreover, the Heaven-Flipping Ghost City is incredibly vast; its full extent has never been explored over these many years of trials. The number of hidden Ghost Race experts is unknown, and entering rashly would lead to mutual destruction."

"Here, there are more Ghost Race members of the Postnatal Realm or Transcendent Realm. Ghost Race members of the Innate Realm are rare, and ten years ago, only one Grandmaster-level appeared. We older folks are here just in case there’s an enemy that can’t be handled; then we would intervene."

Zhang Yuanzhi patiently explained to Li Changqing.

Speak for yourself, old guy; don’t compare me to you.

Li Changqing felt it carefully, but what surprised him was that he didn’t sense any suppression.

Where was the suppression?

Li Changqing sensed it for a while but felt nothing.

"Did any of you feel suppressed?" Li Changqing turned and asked several elders of the Innate Perfection Realm from Zhanhe Mansion.

"Yes, we felt it." A gray-haired elder nodded and sighed, "I had heard about this suppression in the Ghostly Realm, and now I’ve experienced it firsthand. Although the cultivation remains, the Innate True Essence cannot be drawn; if it really comes to a fight, I can barely last a few rounds before the Innate True Essence is exhausted."

The other two also nodded, this feeling left such powerful individuals rather uneasy.

Li Changqing was bewildered.

Why didn’t I feel it?

Li Changqing felt no difference from his usual state here, except the weather was genuinely cold.

The entering disciples were already chilled to the bone by the cold.

However, the disciples of Dao Mountain and Zhanhe Mansion didn’t seem affected because their down jackets were very warm.

After entering the Heaven-Flipping Ghost City, everyone finally saw how ruined it actually was.

Ruins and riddled walls were everywhere, remnants of past battles. Moreover, there were many broken weapons on the ground, apparently left by previous trial participants.

Many Human Race disciples had perished here, but strangely, not a single corpse was left on the streets.

According to Zhang Yuanzhi, this was due to the rules here erasing them.

"What’s this?"

All the disciples suddenly noticed something at their waists.

It was a Black Iron Token!

Their names were inscribed on the Black Iron Token.

"This is the Merit Token of Celestial Sea City, and what you have is the Black Iron Order. When you slay the Ghost Race, you’ll earn Merit Points, which vary depending on the power and type of Ghost Race. This is something you’ll have to explore on your own."

Lin Qingyi stood on the city wall, surveying everyone below.

Nearly two thousand disciples had come to participate in the Ghostly Realm trial this time.

Lin Qingyi looked towards the sky, where dark clouds had long blotted out the sun, casting a depressing shadow over the entire Heaven-Flipping Ghost City.

"At midnight, numerous Ghost Race members will appear in this Heaven-Flipping Ghost City, attempting to escape to the Eastern Wilderness. Your task is to kill as many Ghost Race members as possible during these thirteen days while waiting for the Buddhist chant’s power to return."

Lin Qingyi addressed the disciples.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Now, find a place to rest and wait for midnight to come. I hope you’ll perform well," Lin Qingyi concluded, disappearing with a leap.

Everyone was a bit anxious at the moment.

After all, the vast majority of the disciples had never experienced real combat.

They didn’t know if they could survive this trial.

"Find a place to rest," a strong individual instructed his disciples, "Preserve your strength for the Ghost Race’s attack tonight!"

"Yes!"

Xue Qianbai also led his people from Mountain Ancient Land to a dilapidated pavilion to rest.

Li Changqing led the Zhanhe Mansion to find a courtyard next to Mountain Ancient Land to settle down.

Zhanhe Mansion agreed; maybe because they wore similar clothes, disciples from both sides felt especially close to each other.

Being close, there was no hostility between them. Instead, they gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Li Changqing simply wanted to be closer to his son, and in terms of experience, he certainly couldn’t compare to Xue Qianbai. It was good to look after each other.

"Elder." At this moment, Yin Shuyu approached Li Changqing and said, "I want to visit my brother."

"Go ahead." Li Changqing nodded, agreeing to Yin Shuyu’s request.

"Thank you, Elder." Yin Shuyu was delighted.

She hurried to the Medical King Valley’s base to find Yin Changli.

Soon, the fire was lit.

The warm flames drew many disciples to huddle together for warmth.

Many disciples closed their eyes to rest, waiting for the night’s fierce battle.

"Doesn’t anyone want to lie down and sleep for a while?" At that moment, Li Changqing stood up and addressed all the disciples.

"Lie down and sleep?"

Many disciples looked at Li Changqing in surprise.

Sleeping lying down here was akin to sleeping on ice.

"Open your boxes and you’ll find sleeping bags from our Evergreen Commerce Association at the bottom. These are new products we developed, and you can have a comfortable sleep even in a place like this," Li Changqing told everyone with a smile.

"Sleeping bags? What are those?"

Previously, when the items were brought to them, they hadn’t looked closely. Now they opened their boxes and found what seemed like a quilt.

Spreading it out, they discovered the quilt was sewn together with the mat beneath it.

"Yes, and there are tents among your sect’s supplies too. I’ll teach you how to set them up. You can sleep inside to avoid the cold wind and be very comfortable."

Li Changqing extended his hand, and a box opened automatically, a simple tent popped out of the box.

Everyone was instantly captivated by what Li Changqing had.

Under everyone’s curious gaze, Li Changqing assembled the fabric and a few telescopic rods into a tent, complete with a curtain.

"This is amazing!"

A disciple from Mountain Ancient Land walked up, lifted the curtain, and was surprised by the ample space inside; it looked very warm and cozy.

"Let me see."

Lord Zhou, also curious, walked over, thrilled beyond measure by the tent.

Everyone assumed they would suffer and endure hardship during the Ghostly Realm trial, thinking it good enough to catch a nap sitting up.

Who would have thought they’d have a place to sleep?

Excited, they eagerly retrieved tents from their sect’s supplies and started assembling them following Li Changqing’s example, placing sleeping bags inside for a proper rest.

"What’s happening over there?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Other sects looked over at Zhanhe Mansion and Mountain Ancient Land in astonishment, wondering what was going on.

Were they not nervous at all?
