Chapter 73

Drip!

Drip!

Drip!

When Jiang Wei recovered his vision, he found himself in a grand and magnificent palace. In the center of the palace, near where Jiang Wei stood, there was a deep, clear pond.

At the top of the palace, water droplets continuously fell; though small, each drop produced a sound that echoed throughout the entire palace. The dripping sounds intertwined and reverberated, forming a grand symphony within the palace.

"The sound of the dripping water..." Jiang Wei was immediately drawn to the sound of the dripping water.

The water droplets that fell into the pond seemed similar, but when they collided with the water, they produced different sounds; some were as heavy as mountains, some as fierce as fire, and some as light as wind...

Listening to the rhythm of the dripping water, Jiang Wei's mind involuntarily conjured up vague images. Although he couldn't see what was in these images, his emotions were completely drawn into them, almost losing control.

"No!"

Jiang Wei shook his head several times, forcing himself to regain his composure. At the same time, he deliberately tried to resist the rhythm of the dripping water to avoid being drawn back into those images.

"What a terrifying technique!"

Jiang Wei had never even heard of such a technique. He even felt that if he continued to listen, the images in his mind would become clearer and more real, until he was completely immersed in them. At that point, whether he lived or died would be entirely out of his control.

"What a terrifying being the master of this palace must be!"

Jiang Wei, who had seen the world, knew that the likes of the Pavilion Master and Elder Bai were among the most powerful in Original Sin City. However, he clearly felt that neither his master nor the Pavilion Master could compare to the master of this palace.

A glimpse through a tube reveals a leopard's spot; although Jiang Wei had not seen the master of the palace, just by looking at the palace, he could imagine how terrifying the master must be.

"I wonder if being brought here is a blessing or a curse?" Whether it's a blessing or a curse, if it's a curse, it can't be avoided; but the feeling of not having control over one's life, Jiang Wei really didn't like.

But since he was already here, what Jiang Wei could do now was to find a way to survive; of course, if he could "incidentally" gain some opportunities, that would be even better.

"I am Jiang Wei, I humbly request the presence of the senior!" Jiang Wei stood in the middle of the vast palace, bowing to all sides.

Jiang Wei had been brought here, so he was sure that there must be a ghost watching him in secret.

As soon as Jiang Wei finished speaking, the pond beside him suddenly churned. The waves converged, eventually forming a water sprite.

Hmm, what kind of senior looks like this?

Although puzzled, Jiang Wei still bowed and greeted, "Senior!"

The water sprite lazily glanced at Jiang Wei, seemingly talking to itself or to Jiang Wei: "After so many years, another one has finally come... Is this the seven hundredth? Or the thousandth? ... Sigh, I hope this one can meet the master's requirements..."

Jiang Wei was startled—requirements of the master? Seven hundredth or thousandth?

Jiang Wei could tell that this water sprite was not a ghost but some kind of puppet-like existence; and the seven hundred or thousand it mentioned were probably... already dead! The reason was simple: they did not meet the so-called master's requirements.

"Brat!" The water sprite looked at Jiang Wei.

Those who came here included ghosts at the Divine Meeting stage, ghosts at the Soul Condensation stage, and even more powerful "fierce ghosts"; but without exception, they all died here. With Jiang Wei's cultivation at the Divine Meeting stage, he was indeed only a "brat."

The water sprite glanced at Jiang Wei a few times, with dissatisfaction in its eyes—how can the soul concentration be only fifty times, not even reaching the peak of the Divine Meeting stage?

It should be known that the weakest who came here before were at the peak of the Divine Meeting stage; the slightly stronger ones were all at the Soul Condensation stage!

"Senior, please speak!" When in a low position, one must bow; although Jiang Wei guessed that the other party was a puppet-like existence, he still showed great respect.

However, the respect of the weak is always worthless; this is true in both the human world and the ghost world. The water sprite showed no gratitude: "Calling me senior is useless!—Coming here is a great opportunity for you, of course, it could also be a great disaster!"

Jiang Wei listened silently.

"My master is a great Immortal Ghost Lord; his cultivation is profound and almost reaches the realm of immortality!" The water sprite's face showed pride, "He has roamed the ghost world for countless years, establishing endless fame!"

Immortal Ghost Lord?

Jiang Wei had only heard of fierce ghosts, let alone an Immortal Ghost Lord?—He had never even heard of it!

"Little Jin! Little Jin!" Jiang Wei sent a mental message, "What is an Immortal Ghost Lord?"

Immortal Ghost Lord!?

When Jiang Wei sent the mental message, Little Jin was sleeping; for him, sleeping was a form of cultivation. Originally, Little Jin did not want to pay attention to Jiang Wei, but upon hearing "Immortal Ghost Lord," he was suddenly startled awake.

Then, Little Jin immediately noticed the situation outside.

"Where are you?" Little Jin was greatly alarmed; when he saw the water sprite, he urgently said, "How did you encounter such a terrifying being—damn, this guy's cultivation is not weaker than mine, don't send me mental messages, you might be discovered by accident!"

"Ah?" Jiang Wei had never heard that mental messages could be discovered. He wanted to ask for clarification, but thinking that mental messages could be discovered, he didn't dare to ask much.

"Seems you haven't heard of 'Immortal Ghost Lord'?" The water sprite noticed the confusion on Jiang Wei's face, "With your cultivation, it's normal not to have heard of it; I'll let you know first, so you can understand how great the master is!" The water sprite said, "I believe you know that ghosts at the Divine Meeting stage are the lowest in the ghost world!"

Jiang Wei nodded.

The water sprite continued, "The slightly stronger ones are the ghosts at the Soul Condensation stage! Their souls are completely condensed, and their strength far surpasses that of ghosts at the Divine Meeting stage; in the ghost world, they are considered significant figures..."

The water sprite explained in detail, and Jiang Wei roughly understood the hierarchy of the ghost world.

Above the Soul Condensation stage, there were the "Soul Ignition stage" fierce ghosts. At this level, they were considered experts in the ghost world; in remote ghost cities, they could dominate and even become city lords.

Above the Soul Ignition stage, there were the "Soul Division stage" ghost kings; ghost kings had the qualifications to rule the ghost world!

Above the ghost kings, there were the "Immortal stage" ghost lords! Ghost lords were the true top of the ghost world; each ghost lord was a formidable existence in the ghost world!

Above the ghost lords, there were ghost immortals!

In the known ghost world, there was only one ghost immortal, and that was the "Judge" who decided the fate of all ghosts in the ghost world!
