Chapter 606

Forcing back their tears, they showed their loved ones the most brilliant smiles of their lives.

They waved their hands, sending them off.

"This... this is becoming a Buddha?" At this very moment!

Two humans with small horns growing from their heads and a pair of crimson pupils.

Staring in horror at the young women who were turning into light one after another.

They were precisely members of the Ghost Race.

The Ghost Race!

A race said to dwell in the mysterious Fengdu Ghost Realm.

They capture souls.

They drive away those vengeful spirits.

They are a mysterious race.

Many people have never seen them.

Only a few mysterious, ancient clans know of this race's existence.

And the Fengdu Ghost Realm—

That is a strange region that drifts and shifts without fixed form.

It seems no one can know its true location.

It is said that some humans who entered it, after—

Never appeared again.

Rumor has it that inside, vengeful spirits and evil ghosts are everywhere.

Those peculiar phantom beasts can easily devour the souls of ordinary beast tamers.

The terrifying legends make people flee at the mere mention of them.

Filling the Fengdu Ghost Realm with an air of horror and mystery.

Ordinary people are terrified at the mere mention.

And those powerful, ancient mysterious clans—

Are filled with longing for this region.

Evil-ghost-type phantom beasts—

Only the Fengdu Ghost Realm has them.

Those phantom beasts possess extraordinarily powerful abilities.

If one were to obtain them,

Then their strength, as one can imagine, would be vastly enhanced.

Therefore!

They have been constantly searching for traces of the Fengdu Ghost Realm and the Ghost Race.

But for thousands upon thousands of years—

They have spent immeasurable human wealth and resources.

Yet in the end, all came to nothing.

Today!

They astonishingly discovered that the Ghost Race had actually shown itself.

This made them uncontrollably wild with joy.

The Ghost Race has appeared.

Then they have a chance to enter the Fengdu Ghost Realm.

To peek into that mysterious region.

At this moment!

The two members of the Ghost Race—

Stared dumbfounded at a young woman who was slowly transforming into white light.

They were precisely the two who had earlier departed from the place of Ye Tianqi's death. "Becoming a Buddha!" The two were dumbfounded.

In their Fengdu Ghost Realm, seeing souls was perfectly normal.

That was the special ability of their Ghost Race.

Only ordinary souls would quickly dissipate between heaven and earth.

Turning into nothingness.

But some powerful vengeful spirits possessed extremely high levels of grievance.

That required members of their Ghost Race to drive them away and cut them down.

And within their Ghost Race, there was a legend—

That a soul could become a Buddha.

After a soul's wishes from its lifetime were fulfilled—

It would become incomparably happy.

And finally become a Buddha.

And "becoming a Buddha" did not mean literally turning into a Buddha.

It was a metaphor.

It is said that a soul that becomes a Buddha can obtain the chance of reincarnation and rebirth.

In the next life!

They would also be reborn into the world of beasts. "This is truly attaining Buddhahood!"

"How could this be possible — there are actually so many humans attaining Buddhahood!" The two members of the ghost race were stunned.

Within their Jinchuan City, beams of light kept rising one after another.

Those were rays of light formed from souls.

Rising toward the sky.

Slowly dissipating.

And they seemed to reveal their final smiles in the sky. Satisfied smiles, as if constantly watching over their loved ones.

Attaining Buddhahood.

This was something that existed only in legends even within their Fengdu Ghost Domain.

They had never imagined that one day they would witness it in the human world. "There must be some divine being!"

"Could that soul-devouring evil ghost from before also have been slain by that divine being?" "Divine being above!"

The two members of the ghost race knelt and began to worship.

Compared to ordinary people,

the ghost-race people of their Fengdu Ghost Domain,

having witnessed the souls of countless living beings,

were all the more convinced of the existence of a divine being.

A powerful existence, surely watching over them in silence.

A melodious strain of music drifted over.

It made the two ghost-race people feel comfortable all over their bodies.

They felt that the evil-ghost-type phantom beasts within their bodies

had actually become far more compatible in their fusion.

"Yongling, did you notice — there seem to be a lot more stars in the sky?" "That's right, I noticed it too!"

"Could those humans who attained Buddhahood have turned into stars to watch over their families?" At this moment!

They weren't sure if it was an illusion,

but the sky seemed to have quite a few more twinkling stars than before.

In the world!

Many people believed

that beneath the distant starry sky, every twinkling star was silently watching over the families of their loved ones far away.

Light kept gathering in the sky.

Slowly, it seemed to form one beautiful, radiant smile of a maiden after another.
