Chapter 42

This little girl, so young, actually had the courage to enter the "Mountain of Seeking the Way" for training. This made Jiang Wei curious about her background while also feeling a bit of admiration. However, the little girl's soul strength was only a little over two times. In terms of real combat power, she was definitely far inferior to Jiang Wei. If Jiang Wei accepted her team invitation, it would be like dragging a burden along—oh no, if you include the three male ghosts with her, it would be like a "god" dragging four "bronze" players into battle.

As Jiang Wei hesitated, wondering whether to politely decline or to be overwhelmed by compassion and take them along, an inhuman voice sounded.

"Xiaoqing, why are you inviting a weak and poorly equipped ghost to your team? If you're going to invite someone, find a stronger ghost!" The speaker was a young male ghost adorned with pearls and jewels.

At this moment, Jiang Wei finally took a proper look at the three male ghosts with different appearances. The leader was a middle-aged ghost with a stubble, and the other two were younger. The three ghosts had mediocre strength; the strongest middle-aged male ghost had a soul strength of only five times. To Jiang Wei, they were all weak ghosts that could be defeated with a single blow.

However, Jiang Wei's soul concentration was only a little over three times, and his equipment was shabby. Therefore, although he had real strength, other ghosts couldn't see it, leading to their inevitable disdain. And this disdain was exactly what Jiang Wei enjoyed!

The little girl named "Xiaoqing" was quite不服气 (unwilling to accept it), but seeing that her three teammates all showed opposition, she had no choice but to give up. After all, the little girl was weak, and her status in the team was naturally low.

"Sorry, big brother..." the little girl said with a troubled expression.

Jiang Wei smiled, "It's fine, I was also thinking of going to the Mountain of Seeking the Way alone for training!" Saying this, Jiang Wei quietly left; they were just passing acquaintances, no need to get too entangled.

Seeing Jiang Wei leave with his head down, the young male ghost who spoke earlier became even more disdainful, "This reckless little ghost, with such weak strength and shabby equipment, dares to venture into the Mountain of Seeking the Way alone. He's practically asking to be reincarnated!"

"Shabby equipment?" Jiang Wei, who hadn't walked far, shook his head in secret. His black armor and long spear were specially chosen by his master, looking low-key but luxurious inside. Any one of them could easily match the young male ghost's entire set of pearl and jewel equipment!

However, with Jiang Wei's identity, he was not bothered to argue with these low-level ghosts.

It was the little girl "Xiaoqing" who, looking at Jiang Wei's gradually retreating back, showed a worried expression on her face.

From the West City Gate all the way to the Mountain of Seeking the Way, Jiang Wei received several team invitations along the way. However, those who saw potential in Jiang Wei were not powerful teams. Jiang Wei didn't want to team up with a bunch of weak teammates, and this time, he actually intended to "solo the Mountain of Seeking the Way."

When Jiang Wei entered the Mountain of Seeking the Way alone, countless ghosts behind him cursed him for being reckless. With the strength he showed, venturing into the Mountain of Seeking the Way alone was indeed tantamount to seeking death.

...

The Mountain of Seeking the Way was no longer within the jurisdiction of Original Sin City; here, there were not only human souls but also ghosts from other races gathered in the mountains.

Entering the mountains meant that one could encounter enemies at any time, and even be ambushed. Jiang Wei didn't dare to be careless, taking his long spear from his back and holding it in his hand; in case of any sudden situation, he could respond at any time.

"From this moment on, I can finally be considered a true ghost cultivator!" Jiang Wei held his long spear and carefully walked through the forest.

Not all milk is called Telesu, and not all ghosts can be called "ghost cultivators."

Ghost cultivators are not necessarily powerful ghosts, but they are definitely the bravest group of ghosts in the ghost world. They constantly fight and kill other ghosts to improve their strength, or become the stepping stones for other ghosts to improve their strength.

Ghost cultivators can be as weak as ordinary ghosts, but they must be fearless of life and death! Only those who dare to walk between life and death can be called "ghost cultivators"; otherwise, even a large ghost in the soul condensation stage can only be called a "ghost soul" and does not have the right to be called a "ghost cultivator" or "cultivator."

"My strength, in the Mountain of Seeking the Way, should only be considered average!" Jiang Wei speculated.

In the Mountain of Seeking the Way, there were no large ghosts in the soul condensation stage; for such large ghosts, coming here offered no challenge and almost no benefits.

Therefore, the strongest here were those ghost cultivators who had reached the completion of the soul meeting stage, with soul strength as high as one hundred times. However, such ghost cultivators usually left the Mountain of Seeking the Way quickly and rarely stayed—there were no conditions or opportunities in the Mountain of Seeking the Way to break through to the soul condensation stage; here, they could no longer improve their strength.

Slightly weaker were those ghost cultivators with soul strength of over fifty times. Their soul strength was already quite high, and when combined with special moves and trump cards, they could even stand up to ghost cultivators at the completion of the soul meeting stage, and occasionally even reverse the situation and kill them. There were quite a few of these ghost cultivators, and they formed the true first tier in the Mountain of Seeking the Way.

Next were the second tier, with soul strength ranging from ten to fifty times. These ghost cultivators had "endured many hardships" and, after numerous battles, finally escaped the weakest third tier and found a place to stand in the mountains.

As for the weakest third tier, they were the small ghost cultivators with soul strength of less than ten times. These ghost cultivators were weak and poor at fighting, and their death rate in the Mountain of Seeking the Way was undoubtedly the highest. However, if they could survive, their lives in the ghost world, and even in their next life, would be completely different!

"My true soul strength is about ten times, combined with the Insight Realm and the secret technique 'Soul Devouring,' I should still be able to fight against a ghost cultivator with thirty times soul strength!" Jiang Wei roughly estimated his strength, "Moreover, I have already achieved some success with the escape technique 'Light Wind.' Even if I encounter a ghost cultivator with fifty times soul strength, I still have the ability to escape!"

Jiang Wei's strength was considered relatively strong even in the second tier.

"This place is the most suitable for me to train!" Although Jiang Wei was not afraid of fighting, he was afraid of dying. However, it seemed that although the Mountain of Seeking the Way was still dangerous for him, it was not a place where he would die.

In fact, if Jiang Wei's strength were weaker, or if the environment of the Mountain of Seeking the Way were more dangerous, Elder Bai, with his cowardly nature, would definitely not have been willing to send his precious disciple here.

And as Jiang Wei carefully walked through the forest, a ghostly figure gradually appeared and solidified not far from him.
