Chapter 28 – Summoning Spirits, Dispatching Generals!

Ye Sheng widened his eyes to look…

He saw that after the Talent Passive ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’ was triggered, a strong white light flashed in the skill panel.

Once the white light faded, the information in the skill panel had changed!

Ye Sheng focused his gaze, and upon seeing it, his breathing immediately became rapid.

[Annihilation-grade Skill: Spirit Binding and Commanding (LV1), one of the high-tier secret arts of the Daoist School, an advanced version of the Ghost-Commanding Art.

Success rate of capturing Ghost Creatures: 100%!

Capture quantity: 10!

Note: Upgraded from ‘Ghost-Commanding Art’, can capture Ghost Creatures one major realm higher than oneself. Malevolent Ghosts one major realm higher are too violent, use with caution!]

“What?!”

Ye Sheng’s eyes widened, especially when he noticed the final note!

Can capture Ghost Creatures one major realm higher than oneself!

What did this mean?

Currently, he was at the 2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm. One major realm higher would be the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm!

This meant he could capture Ghost Creatures at the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm to fight for him.

And the capture quantity was 10!

“The capture success rate is also 100%! This means it almost never fails!”

“Even if I encounter a Ferocious Ghost at the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm, I can directly bind its spirit and make it serve me!”

Ye Sheng was stunned!

This [Spirit Binding and Commanding] was simply outrageous!

At the 2nd Revolution, he could bind spirits of 3rd Revolution Ghost Creatures, and even bring 10 of them.

Wouldn’t that make him invincible?

3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm Ghost Creatures!

Ye Sheng had seen them on his way to Netherworld City.

Such Ghost Creatures could perform Aerial Flight, leaving trails of Yin Energy wherever they passed, howling between heaven and earth. Even a 2nd Revolution Ghost Tide would retreat before them.

Back then, if Zheng Gang and he hadn’t hidden in time, they would likely have died at the hands of that 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm Ferocious Ghost.

“But now… I can actually bind spirits of such Ferocious Ghosts?!”

Ye Sheng found it unbelievable.

After a long while, Ye Sheng sighed, “As expected of the Celestial Master! Every skill is incredibly powerful!”

After his sigh, Ye Sheng thought it made sense.

The Celestial Master could rank first on the ‘Heavenly Dao Ranking’!

Suppressing so many SSS-level Aberrant Professions, how could it be a simple Class?

Only such Annihilation-grade skills could match the identity of the Celestial Master!

“Next, I’ll go bind spirits of 10 Ghost Creatures at the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm. Leveling up will become incredibly easy for me—I won’t even have to lift a finger! I can just lie back and level up!”

Just thinking about the scene of 10 Ghost Creatures at the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm working for him for free, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh, finding it utterly amusing!

Ye Sheng drained the coffee in his cup, his eyes gleaming as he said:

“It’s time to set off!

First, I need to find a way to reach Level 100 Perfection at the 2nd Revolution!”

Reaching Level 100 Perfection at the 2nd Revolution had quite a few benefits.

He could directly become a ‘Golden Deacon’ of the ‘Xuanming Pavilion’.

Golden Deacons enjoyed many privileges.

They were far stronger than the current Bronze Steward!

Zheng Gang was currently a Silver Deacon and enjoyed much better treatment than Ye Sheng. He had also mentioned this matter to Ye Sheng before.

He urged Ye Sheng to work hard to improve his realm, as only then could his position in the Xuanming Pavilion become increasingly stable.

Especially in Netherworld City, everything was decided by strength!

Even if Zheng Gang hadn’t reminded him, Ye Sheng would have done it anyway!

He was eager to become stronger now!

He couldn’t keep living under the shadow of the Bai Family forever.

Ding!

Just as Ye Sheng was about to get up and leave the café, a Notification Sound rang out.

“Is it that Bronze Deacon Token from the Xuanming Pavilion?”

Ye Sheng let out a light sound of surprise and took out the Bronze Deacon Token.

He discovered that someone had contacted him through the Bronze Deacon Token.

“Is it the team I was assigned to?”

Ye Sheng glanced at it and couldn’t help but frown.

After joining the Xuanming Pavilion, the pavilion had randomly grouped him with four others.

Now, these four members of the team had contacted him through the token, saying they were about to begin their mission.

They urged him to meet at the Xuanming Pavilion building.

“A mission already, so soon?”

Ye Sheng frowned but quickly relaxed.

Zheng Gang had mentioned that after joining the Xuanming Pavilion, new members would receive a mission in a very short time.

This mission had to be completed!

First, it was to ensure that new members contributed to the Xuanming Pavilion as quickly as possible.

Second, it was to test the new member’s abilities through this mission. If they failed, they would be directly expelled.

Although the Xuanming Pavilion was loosely organized, it didn’t keep useless people.

Otherwise, how could it become a top-tier force in Netherworld City?

“Well, after completing the mission, I’ll earn ‘contribution points’—it’s not for nothing!”

Ye Sheng collected his thoughts, glanced at the meeting location agreed upon with the four, and left the café, heading straight for the Xuanming Pavilion building.

…

In a lounge within the Xuanming Pavilion building.

Four figures waited impatiently.

All four exuded powerful auras, each at the 2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm.

They were a burly man, a bald Elder, a young man silently holding a long blade, and a woman constantly radiating Cold Qi.

Just then, a beautiful attendant brought in tea and snacks, carefully glancing at the four.

She recognized them as ‘Silver Deacons’ of the Xuanming Pavilion.

“Please enjoy!”

The attendant placed the items down, bowed respectfully, and cautiously left the lounge, careful not to disturb the four.

“This person has quite the attitude, making the four of us wait for so long!”

The burly man spoke, his expression dark.

The bald Elder chuckled, “We’ll all be part of the same team in the future, so waiting a bit longer isn’t a big deal!”

As he spoke, he glanced at the silent young man holding the blade and the woman radiating Cold Qi.

The woman swept her gaze over the three and snorted, “Whether we can become a team depends on your strength!

If you’re not qualified, it’s better for us to act separately!”

“Hah! Such bold words. Want to test it out right now?”

The burly man retorted defiantly.

The bald Elder quickly intervened, “Both of you, calm down. If you want to see each other’s strength, you’ll naturally get the chance once we leave Netherworld City. There’s no need to stir up trouble here!”

As for the young man holding the blade, he remained silent, his eyes closed, not even glancing at the three.

The bald Elder said, “Once the last young friend arrives, we can set off!”

As they spoke,

a figure entered the lounge, drawing the attention of the four.

Even the young man holding the blade, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them to look.

“Everyone! Sorry for the long wait!”

After entering the lounge, Ye Sheng smiled and clasped his hands in greeting to the four.

The agreed meeting place was this very lounge.

All four were 2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm Experts, so Ye Sheng felt he hadn’t come to the wrong place.

The four sized Ye Sheng up.

The burly man spoke first, “Where’s your Deacon Token?”

As he spoke, he took out his own Deacon Token.

This was to verify Ye Sheng’s identity.

The bald Elder and the others also took out their Deacon Tokens.

Ye Sheng looked over, his gaze shifting slightly. The deacon tokens in the hands of these four individuals were actually all ‘Silver Deacon’ tokens.

Then, under the gaze of the four, Ye Sheng took out his own deacon token.
