Chapter 169 What is the difference between humans and demons? (Subscribe)
Mangshan, barren hill

This is the highest mountain in Mangshan, named Shouyang Mountain, and it is also a place of extreme yang.

Behind Shouyang Mountain, there is a valley where there is no sunlight all day long. This valley is extremely dark and no grass grows, so it is named Huangqiu.

And in the barren hills there is a cave called Netherworld.

Led by the gravekeeper, Chu Wujiang and his party went straight to the Netherworld Cave to pay a visit to Master Zhiping who was in charge there.

Mr. Zhiping looked pretty good.

Although the Ghost King of Doom made trouble and almost cut off his face, Yuanshen Zhenren was very resourceful and finally suppressed him successfully, thus saving some of Yuanshen Zhenren's face.

So when Zhiping Jushi saw Chu Wujiang, he said with a smile:

"Lord Longcheng is visiting me. I am really delighted."

"If it weren't for Lord Longcheng..."

Before he finished his polite words, Chu Wujiang said seriously:

"Master, something happened."

"I have something important to discuss with you, kid."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhiping took out the judge's pen behind him. The pen splashed ink in the air, drawing a sky curtain that separated the two people from the others.

After isolating himself from the outside world, Zhiping Lay Buddhist finally spoke:
"Even if Great Brahma has the divine ear, he can't hear your voice or mine."

"Master Longcheng, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

Chu Wujiang then told the whole story of the angry ghost king.

Zhiping Jushi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air:
"I don't know whether to say that Lord Longcheng is lucky or has extraordinary luck."

"It's only been a few days, and we've encountered so many monsters and demons."

Of the seven most famous ghost kings in the world, Chu Wujiang met three of them in just a few days and also helped Xue Nu become a ghost king.

Before Chu Wujiang could answer, Zhiping Jushi himself sighed:
“It’s really an eventful time.”

"The furious ghost king escaped and caused great harm. I will ask the corresponding Yuanshen Zhenren to capture him."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"I will also report this to the Biluo Immortal Palace as soon as possible and ask them to send people to hunt down the Ghost King."

"I just want to ask for a favor. Does the Astronomical Bureau have a divination expert who can track down the whereabouts of the Ghost King?"

Now the Snow Girl is a lower-level ghost king. With the help of 20,000 ghost soldiers, it is not impossible for her to fight with some middle-level ghost kings.

But he is definitely no match for the upper ghost king in his prime.

Especially the Ghost King who has tens of thousands of ghost soldiers under his command, it would be even more troublesome to deal with him.

The Snow Girl sent out ruthless evil ghosts to tear off some of the angry ghost king's luck. It will definitely come back for revenge.

That's why Chu Wujiang asked Zhiping Jushi to isolate the inside and outside to discuss the matter of exorcising the ghost.

Even if we have to use up the Dragon and Tiger Orders, the friendship of the Mahayana Temple, and the appreciation of the Confucian school, we must cut the weeds and eradicate them completely.

Mr. Zhiping said without hesitation:
"Lord Longcheng, there is no need to use divination. The Ghost King will definitely flee to the East China Sea."

"He will just wait until his strength recovers before making any plans."

Chu Wujiang asked in surprise:

"Master, how can you be sure?"

The judge's pen in Mr. Zhiping's hand splashed ink in the air, and a feng shui map of Longzhou instantly came into Chu Wujiang's eyes.

Mr. Zhiping didn't waste any words and pointed to the East China Sea and said:

"Master Longcheng, please look, five hundred miles from here is the limit of our overseas expansion."

"Five hundred miles away, there was a thick fog and almost no one survived."

The Holy Emperor's formation has a limited range, and its power will gradually decrease with distance.

The foggy area on the sea is a stumbling block to the expansion of the human race, and is inhabited by a large number of demons and monsters.

When Zhiping mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Majesty has repeatedly enfeoffed overseas lords in an attempt to explore a normal sea route and find new continents overseas, but he has never succeeded."

"Even the first generation King of the East Sea was lost at sea. His whereabouts are still unknown and his body is nowhere to be found."

Chu Wujiang thought of the story of the East Sea Palace.

The current King of the East Sea is just a powerful Yuanling Realm expert.

But the first King of the East China Sea was a truly powerful spiritual master. He was one of the first generation children of Emperor Hao, had a strong dragon spirit and was an extraordinary hero.

He personally led the navy, killed a spirit-level monster at sea, and was named King of the East China Sea.

However, such a hero was still unable to conquer the ocean and eventually got lost and disappeared.

Currently, the Marquis of Zhenhai and other maritime nobles are only exploring within a radius of 500 miles and fighting with the mermaids, so they are unable to gain a deeper understanding.

Whenever the tide comes, they can only retreat back to the mainland temporarily.

When Zhiping Jushi saw that Chu Wujiang understood this, he continued:
"The protection range of the Holy Emperor's formation is the limit of the human race's activities."

"On the mainland, the human race is strong. No matter how many demons and monsters come, even if the Ghost Emperor is resurrected, the imperial court is not without ways to deal with them."

"If the Enraged Ghost King had left a step later, Elder Jing could have used the Sala Tree to suppress him."

"Those evil heretics can never compare to the imperial court and the noble and upright sects."

Mr. Zhiping still has great confidence in the power of the imperial court.

All kinds of evil demons, those who stab people in the back, will be turned into ashes if they dare to show up.

"So the best way for them is to escape to the sea."

"Once you flee to the sea, even the experts in divination will not be able to track you down."

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized, and an idea even popped up in his mind.

[Master of the Ten Thousand Ghosts, he is not going overseas either.] [It is very likely that this will prevent the experts of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau from using their divination abilities to track his whereabouts.]

Chu Wujiang fell into deep thought, and the monk Zhiping continued to add:

"There is also a pool of Yin Qi in the sea, which is enough to sustain the Ghost King."

“As long as they unite with the demons on the sea, I’m afraid we’ll see the Wrathful Ghost King again in this tide.”

"The birth of the seven ghost kings was much earlier than the sealing time. The fact that they were able to evade the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court was also related to this."

"Master, wait."

Chu Wujiang's brain was working rapidly, and he felt something was wrong when he heard this:

"Since the Ghost King can survive on the sea, and there is also a Yin Pond on the sea, why did it come back?"

Wouldn't the angry ghost king be more free and easy during his days on the sea?

Do you have to come to the human territory to seek death?
Zhiping Layman hesitated for a moment, then used a secret technique to transmit sound, and whispered:
[Lord Longcheng, this is a secret that must not be leaked.]

Chu Wujiang swore hastily:

[If you leak this, you will be punished by God. ]

Zhiping Jushi then slowly spoke:

[Lord Longcheng, what do you think is the biggest difference between humans and demons? 】

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment:
[Could it be the contamination of the evil god? ]

Mr. Zhiping nodded and said:
[This is half true.]

【Only after death can a person’s ghost be free.】

[Although demons have ghosts after death, they are not free. Those ghosts belong to evil gods.]

[According to the Taoists, they received the blessing from the evil gods, not only did their bodies change, but they also had to pay the price of their dead souls.]

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Wujiang understood now.

The difference between humans and demons is not their bodies or appearances, but whether their souls are free.

Demons are naturally more powerful, but after death their souls become the property of the evil gods.

Chu Wujiang couldn't judge which one was better.

The Demon Palace believes that the latter is better, and wants to promote the process of demonization of the human race, but the imperial court and the righteous forces obviously cannot agree with this approach.

The battle between good and evil, if we only look at the Demon Palace, is roughly the path of human development.

The righteous path and the imperial court are maintaining the Holy Emperor's formation. Under the protection of the formation, they develop human power and one day they will be able to sweep away the demons.

Evil heretics are more inclined to defeatism, believing that they cannot fight against evil as long as they retain their human bodies, and that they must transform themselves into demons in order to defeat them.

Both sides had their own ideas and the dispute was unresolved.

Chu Wujiang is not yet qualified to stand on the overall standpoint, so he can only express his gratitude:

【Thank you for your frankness. 】

Mr. Zhiping shook his head:

[Based on Lord Longcheng's progress, he will be able to learn this information in a few days.]

[In the future, the world of the human race will have to rely on geniuses like Lord Longcheng to support it. ]

Several Yuanshen Zhenren saw Chu Wujiang's talent and wanted to bring him to their side.

However, what Chu Wujiang is most concerned about now is

This angry ghost king fled to the sea, when will he come back?

"Master, when will this tide occur?"

Zhiping Jushi did not hide anything and said:
"The Sitianjian has already monitored the giant squid carrying Teardrop Island on its back and heading towards Yuzhou."

"This time it will be around September 9th, the day of Poseidon's Festival."

"The first group of mermaids will be close to the sea, perhaps coming ashore from Longzhou or Yuzhou."

"In the past few years, we landed from Yuzhou. Lord Longcheng doesn't need to worry too much."

No, I'm worried.

I'm afraid we'll have to land in Longzhou this time.

Chu Wujiang has never had much confidence in his luck.

Today is July 15th. In a little over a month, this angry ghost king might join forces with the sea beasts and then attack the continent.

Then the first choice is to become stronger as soon as possible to deal with the impending threat.

"Master, I have something to ask of you."

Chu Wujiang then told the story of the Snow Girl and Fire Meir, hoping to use the Yin Pool to become the Ghost King.

It would be even better if Mr. Zhiping was willing to take out the sealed Ghost King of Doom.

Zhiping Layman smiled slightly, as if he had foreseen it:

"Master Dafan has informed me that there is nothing wrong with the Snow Girl."

"As for the daughter of the Angry Ghost King, if she is willing to fight for the human race, I have no objection."

"But I have one condition."

Chu Wujiang said quickly:
"Master, please give me your orders."

Mr. Zhiping chuckled and said:
"Yuanji Academy is looking for new guest lecturers to teach apprentices."

"If Lord Longcheng is willing."

"Ghost King of Misfortune, I will give you my place."
