Chapter 9

The conspiracy in the sky was unknown to Jiang Wei; what he also didn't know was that the Five Ghost Dao talisman tattooed on his chest was silently dispelling the influence he had been subjected to.

"Better to slip away quickly!"

Jiang Wei's quiet departure did not attract the attention of the two terrifying beings in the clouds. After all, the difference between ordinary ghosts and these two terrifying beings was like that between ants and dragons; a small ant slipping away would naturally be hard to catch the attention of a dragon.

...

"Where should I go?"

After leaving the main group, Jiang Wei suddenly felt lost.

According to the requirements of the Tianhuang Pavilion's test, he had to hunt a pair of tiger horns to pass the test. However, Jiang Wei was almost unsure of where he was, let alone where to find tigers. Moreover, if he couldn't find tigers, it would be better; if he really encountered a tiger, he would be like delivering himself to be eaten.

After all, the reason Jiang Wei came to participate in this test was to take advantage of the chaos. Now that he was far from the main group, he naturally lost the opportunity to do so.

"Should I go back?" Jiang Wei thought painfully, "If I go back, it would be a waste of the gun that Xiao Hao saved up for ten years to buy for me..."

But Jiang Wei soon realized that whether he wanted to join the Tianhuang Pavilion by hunting tiger horns or wanted to become stronger by devouring ghost souls, he had to venture into this mountain forest!

This mountain forest was his only hope!

If he left this forest, he could certainly save his life, but the next few decades in the Ghost Realm would likely be spent in mediocrity. Moreover, the blood feud of the Wanxiang Sect's extermination would never be avenged in his lifetime.

In that case, when his junior sister came to the Ghost Realm decades later, he, as an ordinary ghost, would find it extremely difficult to meet her. Even if he were lucky enough to meet her, with the great vengeance unavenged, he would have no face to see her!

"No, I must carve out a future in this mountain forest!" Jiang Wei resolved firmly.

Although his resolve was strong, Jiang Wei still didn't know what to do next. After all, he was too weak in the Ghost Realm; any fierce animal could easily take his life!

So, Jiang Wei leaned against a big tree and began to seriously consider his battle plan.

After much deliberation, Jiang Wei finally decided—his first step was to target weaker species, devour their ghost souls, and grow stronger. Once he was stronger, he could then challenge stronger species!

"Feasible!" After a thorough feasibility analysis in his mind, Jiang Wei quickly concluded that this was a reliable battle plan.

"But..." Immediately, Jiang Wei found another problem, "If they can survive in this dangerous forest, how could they be weak? Even if they are weak, they would likely have strong escape abilities!"

Jiang Wei suddenly felt that being a human was truly tragic—no attack, no speed, and a fragile body, making him a completely useless species!

Such a species could actually surpass other species and become the most intelligent, which was truly a miracle!

Just as Jiang Wei was frowning, suddenly, a chubby little white rabbit hopped over. Perhaps because the little white rabbit was nearsighted, or because it was speeding and couldn't turn in time, it ended up crashing directly into the tree next to Jiang Wei.

This collision left the little white rabbit dazed.

"Hmm..." Jiang Wei picked up the dazed little rabbit, "What a familiar story!"

"Let me go, let me go!" At this moment, the captured little white rabbit suddenly spoke, bowing to Jiang Wei repeatedly.

"Damn!" Jiang Wei almost dropped the little white rabbit, "I almost forgot that in the Ghost Realm, any species can speak!"

"Please let me go, I'm just a little white rabbit!" The little white rabbit's eyes were full of hope.

"Let you go?" Looking at the little rabbit with sharp horns, Jiang Wei smiled, "Tell me, what's your name?"

"Will you let me go if I tell you?" The little white rabbit asked.

"How could I!" Jiang Wei's smile widened, "You are my first step to becoming stronger. Eating you will make me stronger! If I become a super-strong being in the future, I will definitely spread your name and make you famous!"

"I don't want to be famous, just let me go!" The little white rabbit cried.

"Don't cry!" Jiang Wei shouted, "I'll give you one more chance. Speak or I'll bite!"

Saying this, Jiang Wei actually bit the little white rabbit's thigh.

Actually, as a soul entity, every part of the little white rabbit was the same; whether it was the head or the leg, the taste was the same. However, according to Jiang Wei's eating habits in his previous life, he preferred to start with the thigh.

"You!" The little white rabbit, with its ears pinched, struggled wildly, trying to kick Jiang Wei away. However, in the face of the absolute strength difference, its struggle was futile.

After a meaningless struggle, the little white rabbit finally resigned itself: "If I become a ghost immortal in my next life, I will never let you off!" the little white rabbit said unwillingly.

In the Ghost Realm, there was a legend that once one became a ghost immortal, they could recall their past life. Whether this legend was true or not, of course, could not be verified.

"Let's talk about that in the next life!" As he spoke, Jiang Wei had already taken a bite, tearing off a thigh.

"Ugh!" The pain of the soul being torn apart was unimaginable for the little white rabbit.

The little white rabbit no longer hesitated, and the two small ghost horns on its head moved toward the top of its head. Once these two horns merged, they would fall into the cycle of rebirth.

During this process, Jiang Wei could have forcibly prevented the little white rabbit's horns from merging, just as the Tianhuang Pavilion disciples did when they attacked a "Tenth Rank Ghost," giving it no chance of rebirth. However, preventing the little white rabbit from rebirthing offered no benefit to Jiang Wei; he was not interested in such a self-destructive act.

"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet!" Jiang Wei said while eating.

The little white rabbit wanted to curse, but considering that Jiang Wei had not completely destroyed it and had given it a chance to rebirth, it didn't dare to curse; if it angered Jiang Wei, it might lose even that chance!

"Adorable Little White!" The little white rabbit gritted its teeth and said its name.

"Oh! Your rabbit names are really quite unique!" Jiang Wei commented.

As he spoke, the two ghost horns on the little white rabbit's head had already merged into one. The core of the little white rabbit's soul, the "True Spirit," was now in this single horn. Now, the little white rabbit's True Spirit was truly safe; it could enter the cycle of rebirth at any time if it wished.

However, the little white rabbit chose to stay a moment longer in the Ghost Realm, leaving a parting shot: "You'd better pray I don't become a ghost immortal in my next life, or I will definitely come back to avenge this life!"

"Ghost immortal?" Jiang Wei sneered.

The True Spirit, once separated from the soul, could not exist for long. After leaving a parting shot, the ghost horn carrying the True Spirit "whooshed" and disappeared into the vast cycle of rebirth.
