Chapter 178: Sealing... Spirits... (Please subscribe and follow!)

"I have heard that the descendants of the Feng Family can form contracts with Ghosts, and by borrowing the power of these Ghosts, they can unleash formidable strength.

Does that not mean the more Ghosts one contracts, and the stronger the contracted Ghosts are, the stronger the person from the Feng Family becomes?"

Lin Chao held the Gold Wood and asked casually.

The others also looked toward Feng Sidao, feeling quite curious about these matters as well.

"That is indeed the case." Feng Sidao smiled.

This was no secret, and there was nothing to hide.

Since someone had asked, he answered.

"However, everyone's constitution is different.

Some people may only be able to contract one Ghost, while others can contract two.

Some can only contract Third Tier Ghosts, while others can contract Sixth Tier Ghosts.

The difference lies right there: in constitution, talent, and even effort.

The Third Generation Ancestor of our Feng Family had an extremely unique constitution; he contracted five Seventh Tier Ghosts, gathering the five attributes of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

His strength was also immense; in the Jing Country of that time, he was considered a top-tier powerhouse without question."

"I see." Lin Chao felt he understood a little now.

He did not ask further.

If he kept asking, Feng Sidao might start to grow suspicious.

Soon, the Feng Family residence appeared before the group.

The walls had collapsed, the beams were rotting, the eaves were missing tiles, and weeds grew rampant; the vegetation was particularly dense.

Led by Feng Sidao, the group of five entered the Feng Family residence.

Revisiting this old place, Lin Chao felt exceptionally calm inside.

"The entrance to the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave is in the basement. In a moment, you only need to stay in your respective rooms in the basement and wait with peace of mind." Feng Sidao laid out the subsequent arrangements.

The group entered the basement.

The basement of the Feng Family residence contained quite a few rooms.

After entering, Lin Chao clearly felt a cold wind blowing toward him.

"Each of you, enter a room and wait with peace of mind," Feng Sidao reminded them again. "First and foremost, ensure your safety.

No matter what happens, absolutely do not take action against the Ghosts; only by doing this will you remain truly safe and sound."

"Understood."

The group responded, and holding their Gold Wood, they entered their respective rooms.

The black-robed figure that Lin Chao had transformed into also stepped into a room.

Upon entering the room, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He had not expected that the basement room he entered would be the very one he saw the first moment he woke up after his reincarnation.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao felt a pain in his kidneys.

He sat down, held the Gold Wood, and waited quietly.

Outside the room, the old man frowned: "That black-robed one gives me a very peculiar feeling."

"What is peculiar about him?" Feng Sidao asked in confusion, then pondered and said, "When I first saw him, I also felt he was somewhat special and felt a sense of affinity toward him."

The old man frowned: "Is it possible that he also carries the bloodline of the Feng Family?"

The Feng Family is a large clan, and it is quite normal for descendants to be scattered outside.

Furthermore, there was originally a branch of the Feng Family in Ge'en City.

"That should not be the case," Feng Sidao mused. "He is a Third Tier Transcendental."

The Feng Family has a unique constitution; to step onto the path of the Supernatural and reach the Third Tier, one must contract a Ghost.

Yet, in the black-robed one's demeanor, there was not the slightest trace of Ghost Qi permeating.

Clearly, he is not of the Feng Family bloodline.

"That is true," the old man sighed softly.

The current Feng Family has few descendants and is suffering from a lack of successors.

He would naturally feel joy at the addition of another clansman.

Lin Chao was unaware of the conversation between Feng Sidao and the old man; at this moment, he held the Gold Wood, a look of curiosity in his eyes.

He wanted to know what kind of existence a Ghost truly was.

Time ticked by second by second, and Lin Chao sat quietly.

The basement was very dark, and occasionally wind would blow in from the vents, sounding like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Suddenly, in Lin Chao's perception, a human figure appeared before him.

No, that was a Ghost!

Lin Chao immediately made a judgment in his heart.

It was a middle-aged man clad in golden armor, giving off a sense of sharpness.

He looked at Lin Chao, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit: "Give it to me."

Lin Chao held the Gold Wood and did not move.

The feeling this Ghost gave him was merely comparable to a Fifth Tier Transcendental.

Such a Transcendental would be considered a powerhouse even in a province, but to Lin Chao, it was nothing at all.

He was now at the Great Heavenly Venerable realm, and stepping up one more level would be the Seventh Tier; he was not afraid.

Lin Chao did not respond, staring at the Ghost, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes: "A Spirit Body?"

The Ghost before him had no physical body at all.

Or rather, he had no physical body, merely being a mass of Spirit Body.

To use an apt description, he was like a Ghost with only three souls and six spirits.

Lin Chao did not reply to his words.

Just then, the joyful voice of Feng Sidao came: "Black Robe, he is actually here with you."

Feng Sidao entered the basement, a look of joy on his face.

However, that Ghost was still staring at Lin Chao.

Lin Chao did not speak.

"Black Robe, thank you, you leave first, leave this Ghost to me."

Feng Sidao took the Gold Wood, looking at that Ghost, his face full of excitement.

"Fine." Lin Chao left quickly.

In the passage outside, only that old man remained.

The Spider President and Dun Shan did not come out.

Beside him, the old man looked at Black Robe, chatting casually: "Kid, how does it feel?"

"The Ghost is quite special." Lin Chao offered his opinion.

He had reincarnated into so many worlds, and this was the first time he had encountered such strange and peculiar living beings in this world.

"Ghosts did not exist in our Qiyuan World at the beginning..." Thinking of something, a complex look appeared in the old man's eyes, "Feng Clan..."

He did not say the words that followed.

Lin Chao did not ask either.

At this moment, his eyes pierced through the wall, seeing Feng Sidao and the Ghost inside.

Of course, Lin Chao's methods were superb; the old man beside him had no idea that Lin Chao was peeking at Feng Sidao.

If Lin Chao wanted to contract a Ghost, he had to learn the methods of the Feng Family.

Right now, he was stealing the technique.

However, the next second, Lin Chao's expression changed slightly.

"This method of contracting... is very familiar."

Lin Chao, whose status had been elevated, had a very good memory; he immediately remembered that when he was in junior high school, his history teacher had taught him some knowledge.

That teacher, if he remembered correctly, had the surname Ling and the given name Yue.

She once mentioned that in different cultures and different races, hand signs all had different meanings.

She had performed a set of hand signs at the time, which were very similar to the contract Feng Sidao was performing now.

At that time, the teacher said that the meaning of those hand signs was: The ethereal and non-existent spirit, pursue the truth with me, and seek the true meaning of the spirit.

Combining this with the contract between Feng Sidao and the Ghost before his eyes.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Chao's mind.

A teacher with the surname Ling.

Feng Clan.

Fengling Village.

Do all these things have a connection?

Lin Chao immediately suppressed this thought in his heart; even if there was a connection, it meant nothing to him.

What he needed to do now was to strive to become stronger.

Half an hour later, Feng Sidao left the basement with a look of joy on his face: "Very good, I have successfully contracted a Ghost."

At this time, the Spider President and Dun Shan had already come out and offered their congratulations one after another.

Lin Chao also casually echoed them.

At this time, Feng Sidao reminded them again: "Please let today's events rot in your stomachs.

In the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, there are still countless powerful Ghosts; you must not enter, otherwise, the consequences will be unthinkable."

"Rest assured, we know our own strength; entering inside would just be serving ourselves up as food, so naturally we won't go," Dun Shan replied.

However, at this time, Feng Sidao sighed again: "This time can be considered a success, all thanks to you all."

Of course, Feng Sidao still felt some regret in his heart.

In the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, there were many better choices than the Ghost he had contracted.

But his strength was weak, and those Ghosts were impossible for him to contract.

Leaving from the Spider, the reward Lin Chao received was two Demon Pills.

These Demon Pills were both from the bodies of Third Tier demon creatures.

For a Third Tier expert, there were many benefits after consuming them.

The reward for this mission could be considered generous.

Lin Chao returned to his room and swallowed the Demon Pills into his stomach.

In his perception, Jian Yi had now left the house.

Lin Chao guessed that Jian Yi must have gone to see Jian Lie to discuss the major matter concerning the Clones.

Lin Chao waited for a period of time, and seeing that the time was just right, he changed into a different disguise.

He went out again.

This time, the place he was going to was the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

The Ghost he saw today gave him a very special feeling.

Actually, before coming, Feng Sidao had once said.

No matter who it is, even a Seventh Tier Transcendental, they will feel a sense of fear in their heart when they see a Ghost.

It is as if that is a human instinct.

However, when Lin Chao saw the Ghost, he did not feel terror; he even felt a sense of intimacy.

This feeling was just like seeing a doll he had crafted with his own hands.

Perhaps it would make some people with prominent intuition feel afraid, but to him, it was nothing.

"Ten Thousand Ghost Cave... I will take it."

Lin Chao made his decision; today he would go to the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave and contract a few Ghosts.

Preferably the leaders among the Ghosts.

If he could do that, he could take the opportunity to control the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

By utilizing the strength of this group of Ghosts, he could capture more demon creatures and rapidly increase his own strength.

Moreover, there is strength in numbers.

In his past life, if he hadn't relied on so many Puppet Pills, he would never have been able to defeat so many True Immortals.

In this life, he does not want to be that bitter and exhausted again, fighting alone for three thousand years.

At the Feng Family residence, Lin Chao's figure appeared once again.

At this moment, the basement was dim and gloomy, with almost no light; there was only the wailing sound of ghosts caused by the wind blowing into the air vent.

Lin Chao stopped his footsteps.

He looked at the basement ahead; there seemed to be a pitch-black hole, and the Ghost from before had emerged from here.

Lin Chao hesitated for a moment, then probed into it with his perception.

"Inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, there seems to be only one Seventh Tier Ghost.

With my strength, as long as I am careful and cautious, it is nothing at all."

Thinking this, he entered directly into the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

Once he contracted a Ghost, by using his Subordinate Control and Upper-level talents, it would be very easy for him to gain the Ghost's allegiance.

These Ghosts, the weakest of which are comparable to a Third Tier Transcendental human, are the most suitable henchmen.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, the male Ghost was dressed in red, his complexion exceptionally pale, like a corpse, yet even so, he remained extraordinarily handsome.

At this moment, he opened his eyes, a look of confusion flashing through them: "Feng... Lingzi..."

This emotion only flashed by for an instant; he suddenly stood up, and his figure vanished without a trace.

On the other side, Lin Chao also officially stepped into the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

The appearance of the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

He had originally thought it would be something like a cavern.

As it turned out, this place was a separate space, a small village.

Looking at the night, it was already dark, and at the entrance of the village hung two blood-red lanterns.

Looking inside, one could see quite a few lights.

In the village, hundreds of Ghosts were gathered together, incredibly lively.

This feeling was just like a night in a rural village when a group of people gathered together during a festival; it looked exceptionally lively.

But the next instant, all the sounds came to an abrupt halt.

Inside the village, everyone stopped their movements.

They turned around in unison, pairs of eyes staring eerily at Lin Chao, without a single word.
