Chapter 41

The Original Sin City has four main gates in the east, south, west, and north. Among them, the West Gate is the busiest, with many ghosts entering and exiting every day.

At this moment, Jiang Wei, dressed in black ghost armor and carrying a long spear, stood alone outside the West Gate. His cultivation and equipment made him seem unremarkable here.

"Where did this foolish ghost come from? He looks like he wants to go out of the city alone?"

"Does he dare to go out of the city alone with such weak strength? Is he tired of his long life in the netherworld?"

"Enough, enough! If he wants to go to his death, what's it to you? Just guard the city gate properly!"

On the tall and cold city wall, several ghost soldiers pointed at Jiang Wei's back and discussed him without restraint. They spoke loudly, not at all avoiding being heard by Jiang Wei. In fact, they felt that their ridicule was a harsh but sincere advice!

Of course, if these ghost soldiers knew that the seemingly unremarkable Jiang Wei was actually a disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion and had a formal disciple's identity jade token inside his ghost armor, they would not dare to be so arrogant and aggressive!

Jiang Wei, of course, heard the ghost soldiers' ridicule, but he had no time to argue with them. His mind was filled with the conversation he had with his master earlier.

"So this is what Master calls fighting!"

Jiang Wei gazed at the mountains outside the city and recalled his master's words: "To the west of the city, there is a vast mountain range called the 'Seeking Dao Mountains,' which is a holy place for fighting in the area around Original Sin City. You should go there to devour and absorb the souls of other races, then refine them using the 'Nine Soul Refinements' to enhance your soul strength. I believe that in a few months, you will be able to practice the 'Nine Soul Refinements' to the third level!"

Ghosts with low talent progress slowly in practicing the 'Nine Soul Refinements' because they absorb the energy of heaven and earth too slowly. If they directly devour the energy of other ghosts and then refine it using the method of the 'Nine Soul Refinements,' they can naturally improve their strength quickly!

Jiang Wei's 'Divine Casting Technique' can also be advanced quickly using this method.

However, this method is only effective for small ghosts in the Spirit Mastery stage. Once they transform into large ghosts in the Soul Condensation stage, simply absorbing energy will no longer help them improve. At that point, the importance of soul talent will truly come into play.

"Are you willing to go there to fight?" Jiang Wei remembered that when his master said this, there was an "expectant" look on his face.

Without a doubt, Jiang Wei's answer was, of course, "No!"

"What the hell, why not?" his master pressed.

"If I go out of the city with my current strength, I'll be going to my death. Of course, I don't dare to go!" Jiang Wei was not ashamed of his cowardice.

Then, Elder Bai revealed a surprised expression: "Who told you that a small ghost in the Spirit Mastery stage going out of the city is going to their death?"

Through his master's explanation, Jiang Wei learned that there were many complex power divisions outside Original Sin City. Larger forces, such as Heavenly Tiger Mountain, Mystic Turtle Pond, and Residual Wolf Ridge, occupied several mountain ranges, with territories no smaller than the entire Original Sin City.

The east, south, and north of Original Sin City were all occupied by these forces. Only the continuous mountain range to the west of Original Sin City was a no-man's land.

The reason this no-man's land was left was, first, because the major forces were already in a balance of power. If any one of them dared to occupy more territory, they would face a joint attack from the other forces. Second, the major forces intentionally left this area as a battlefield for the various races.

It should be known that each force has countless low-level ghosts. For example, outside Original Sin City, there are millions of ordinary human ghosts. However, it is difficult for ordinary ghosts to find a path to cultivation. Even if they manage to find one, their cultivation speed is generally not ideal due to their soul talent limitations. Moreover, they cannot randomly kill each other, or they will incur sin and plant the seeds of disaster for their next life.

As for killing into the territory of other forces, that would be pure suicide. For example, imagine a small tiger ghost in the Spirit Mastery stage killing into Original Sin City. Even if it just wanders around the outskirts of Original Sin City, how much hope does it have of returning alive?

When Jiang Wei last went out of the east of Original Sin City and entered the territory of Heavenly Tiger Mountain, even though it was just the edge of Heavenly Tiger Mountain, he managed to return alive and even hunted a small Heavenly Tiger. This was undoubtedly a miracle, and it could only be said that Jiang Wei's luck and ghost quality were extremely good!

At this time, the "high-ranking leaders" of the various races discovered a problem—how to make ordinary ghosts stand out? Although most ordinary ghosts have poor talent, there are still many ghosts who are not inferior in terms of insight!

The leaders of the various forces discussed and decided—wanting them to stand out, they must be given a chance to do so!

Thus, a no-man's land was left in the area around Original Sin City. Low-level ghosts from various races, such as humans, tigers, wolves, and turtles, would come here to seek a chance to stand out. In this mountain range, the ghosts who could survive the battles with various races would definitely stand out from the ordinary ghosts.

This no-man's land, which carries the hope of millions of ordinary ghosts, is called the "Seeking Dao Mountains" by the various races. Countless ambitious ghosts risk their lives to fight in the "Seeking Dao Mountains," but only one in a hundred truly succeeds.

Jiang Wei recalled the "survival rules in the mountains" that his master taught him before he left and took large steps toward the Seeking Dao Mountains.

With Jiang Wei's status as a core disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, he didn't need to risk his life in the Seeking Dao Mountains. However, Jiang Wei understood that true fighting experts cannot be cultivated in a greenhouse. If he always stayed in Original Sin City, even with a world-class secret technique like the 'Divine Casting Technique,' he would probably not achieve the status of a ghost immortal in the future!

Cultivation is a path that defies heaven. If he doesn't dare to face this challenge, how can he defy heaven?

At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly heard a female ghost speaking to him: "Big brother, are you also going to the Seeking Dao Mountains? Why don't we team up and go together?"

Jiang Wei had already reached the Insight Realm, and every part of his soul could be used as eyes and ears. However, since a ghost was speaking to him, he turned to look, out of respect.

The one speaking to Jiang Wei was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen, with pigtails and a very cute appearance. She was accompanied by three male ghosts of various forms.

Seeing the little girl, who was so young and already in the ghost world, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. He even wondered what had happened to her in life that she died at such a young age.
