Chapter 27 – Ghost-Commanding Art!

Zheng Gang said, “Not exactly!

Let me put it this way…

100 million Federation Coins can be exchanged for 100 Ghost Spirit Stones!”

“What?! That cheap?!”

Ye Sheng was completely stunned!

The 100 million Federation Coins in his hand instantly lost their appeal.

Zheng Gang patted Ye Sheng’s shoulder, “Brother Ye, if you have any matters in the future, feel free to come to me!”

“Thank you!”

Ye Sheng expressed his gratitude.

…

After parting ways, Ye Sheng found the accommodation arranged for him by the Xuanming Pavilion.

It was an ordinary apartment of over a hundred square meters, but the location was excellent—right in the city center, very close to the Xuanming Pavilion building.

Inside the room.

Ye Sheng let out a long sigh of relief, “Being an executive does have its perks. Unlike 1st Revolution Xuanming Pavilion members who have to find their own lodging and pay high rents!

And the rented places are all in remote corners of the Netherworld City, extremely inconvenient.”

Night fell.

Ye Sheng stood by the window, looking out at the bustling scene of the Netherworld City.

The Netherworld City truly lived up to its reputation as a Ten-Million Tier metropolis, far more prosperous than Ghost Mountain City. At night, neon lights flickered, and skyscrapers were everywhere.

Unlike the silence of Ghost Mountain City at night, where no one dared to go out for fear of Malevolent Ghosts claiming lives.

The nights in the Netherworld City were lively and bustling, filled with the warmth of life.

The entire Netherworld City was like a Forbidden Land for Ghost Creatures, simply because there were too many powerful Cultivators here.

If Ghost Creatures ventured into such an area, they would likely be dealt with by passing Cultivators before walking more than a few meters.

Even powerful Ghost Creatures at the 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm dared not set foot in the Netherworld City.

Then.

Ye Sheng took a hot bath and slept soundly through the night.

By the next day, he felt refreshed and invigorated, his spirit restored to its Peak!

Ye Sheng went out and had breakfast.

Then he sat in a café, sipping a cup of coffee while watching the endless stream of people outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.

At this One Moment, Ye Sheng felt as if he had once again stepped away from the cultivation world and returned to the life of an ordinary person—no more fighting, just a familiar sense of warmth!

But as he looked at a large information screen not far away, Ye Sheng was quickly pulled back into the world of Cultivators.

On the information screen, recruitment messages kept scrolling.

Security Guard Recruitment: Only 1st Revolution Level 100 Cultivators are eligible. Monthly salary: 1 Ghost Spirit Stone!

Academy Mentor Recruitment: Minimum requirement—2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm Cultivator. Monthly salary: 3 Ghost Spirit Stones!

Recruitment messages kept scrolling…

Ye Sheng couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

This Netherworld City was truly outrageous!

A 1st Revolution Level 100 Cultivator could only work as a security guard!

Although the compensation was high—one Ghost Spirit Stone per month—it still seemed like slacking off after 50 years of hard work, living a laid-back life ahead of time.

“Forget it, I won’t look anymore!”

“If I were to apply, I could only become an academy Mentor! Earning 3 Ghost Spirit Stones per month!”

Ye Sheng withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

“I should step up my efforts!

This initial entry into the 2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm really isn’t much!”

Ye Sheng sighed.

He opened his Skill Attribute Stat Panel.

【Annihilation-grade Skill: Nine Heavens Divine Thunder (LV1) (Can Level Up!), one of the Supreme Daoist Secret Arts, summons the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to cleanse impurities and vanquish evil, covering a range of a hundred miles.

Attack Power Increase +10000%!

Damage to Ghost Creatures Increase +20000%!

Note: Upgraded from the ‘Thunder Summoning Art.’ Due to its immense power and wide coverage, use with caution!】

【Destruction Tier Skill: Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword (LV1) (Can Level Up!), Single-Target Attack Skill, one of the Daoist School’s top demon-subduing swordsmanship techniques.

Attack Power Increase: +15000%!

Damage to Ghost Creatures Increase: +25000%!】

Ye Sheng glanced at it and noticed something different.

Now, after his promotion to the 2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm, both Destruction Tier skills were marked with the 【Can Level Up】 prompt!

This meant the power of these two Destruction Tier skills could continue to increase!

Becoming even more formidable and exaggerated!

This was the benefit of advancing his realm.

It made him stronger in every aspect!

“However, leveling up these two Destruction Tier skills requires proficiency?”

Ye Sheng took a look.

Under the two Destruction Tier skill panels, a proficiency progress bar had appeared.

Currently…

The progress bar for 【Nine Heavens Divine Thunder】 was only a pitiful 2%!

This was likely because he had only used it once before.

The proficiency progress bar for 【Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword】 was slightly higher, reaching 12%!

He had indeed used the Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword quite frequently before!

But there was still a considerable distance to leveling up to LV2.

“It seems that as long as I use them more, proficiency will increase—not too difficult!

I wonder how powerful these two Destruction Tier skills will become once they reach LV2?!”

Ye Sheng stroked his chin, feeling somewhat expectant!

The two Destruction Tier skills at LV1 were already this exaggerated; leveling them up one more tier would likely make them even more formidable!

Putting away the two Destruction Tier skill panels,

Ye Sheng opened the ‘Disguiser’s Ring.’

The previous spatial bracelet had been retired.

Now, the spatial bracelet had been replaced by the ‘Disguiser’s Ring.’

Its internal space was larger, as big as ten football fields, enough for Ye Sheng to store many things.

The items dropped later were also inside it.

Ye Sheng opened the Disguiser’s Ring and began rummaging through it.

“I wonder if any new Daoist skill books dropped?”

Ye Sheng searched through a pile of skill books.

Later, in Headless Ghost Valley, he had killed many Ghost Creatures, including a Headless Ghost King, so the number of dropped items was not small.

At the time, he had collected them all in one go, piling them up like a mountain, and hadn’t had time to organize them.

The equipment was secondary now.

What Ye Sheng cared about was whether there were any new skill books he could learn.

“There really is one!”

After searching for over ten minutes, Ye Sheng actually managed to find a learnable Daoist skill book from the pile of skill books.

“What skill is this?!”

“Ghost-Commanding Art?”

Ye Sheng glanced at the skill book in his hand, its cover a bluish-black, and looked curious.

【Ordinary Skill: Ghost-Commanding Art, one of the Daoist School’s ghost-controlling spells, allows the capture of Malevolent Ghosts and commands them to fight.

Capture Success Rate for Ghost Creatures: 3%

Capture Limit: 3!

Note: Can only capture Ghost Creatures below your own level.】

“This weak?!”

Ye Sheng glanced at it and couldn’t help but curl his lip.

Not to mention the capture limit of only 3!

The fact that it could only capture Ghost Creatures below his own level made this Ghost-Commanding Art utterly useless.

What use were Ghost Creatures below his level?

The help they could provide was minimal.

Leveling up required killing higher-level Ghost Creatures, and if he brought along Ghost Creatures below his level to fight,

they’d probably be torn apart by those Malevolent Ghosts as soon as they charged in!

Completely useless!

“Too weak!”

Ye Sheng shook his head, unimpressed by this Ghost-Commanding Art.

[Ding! Detected new skill ‘Ghost-Commanding Art’, would you like to learn it?]

[Yes/No?]

Although Ye Sheng looked down on it, he still chose to learn it.

After all, he still had the powerful passive ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’!

It could upgrade ordinary skills to Destruction Tier!

After successfully learning it, as expected, the talent passive ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’ was triggered.

[Ding! Detected new skill ‘Ghost-Commanding Art’]

[Talent Passive ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’ triggered, ‘Ghost-Commanding Art’ automatically upgraded to Destruction Tier…]
