Chapter 1890: Ghost Sect

Chapter 1890: Ghost Sect

Lu Yun didn’t and couldn’t care about what happened in the World of Immortals anymore.

“So this is the Ghost Sect?” He frowned at a pitch black major world in front of him and didn’t want to enter it as it gave him a very uncomfortable feeling. However, Nightmare had said that the sect master wished to see him.

With her name in the Tome of Life and Death, she couldn’t harm or lie to Lu Yun.

“Well actually… I told you the opposite of the truth before,” Nightmare said sheepishly. “It is our Ghost Sect that wants to raise you up as the master of all ghosts. The Dark Hell wants to devour you and claim hell for themselves.”???ℯ?e?nov??. ???

Lu Yun raised a silent eyebrow at her.

“Those who are not of our race must surely share different thoughts from us,” Nightmare quoted. “Ghost cultivators are living beings in the end, they just practice ghost dao. Ghosts, however, are dead entities. They naturally don’t wish to see hell in the hands of the living.”

“Ghosts?” Lu Yun blinked.

There used to be a ghost race in the Hongmeng, one that’d originated from the land of darkness. It was derived from owners once buried in the Hell Tombs. By now, the ghost ancestor had eaten all of the original owners and filled the position of the dean of ghost dao in the Mount Xuanhuang Dao Academy. He oversaw ghost cultivators and ghost dao beneath the immortal dao.

Ghost dao under immortal dao was very different from the version in the chief worlds. Lu Yun’s greatest goal for following Nightmare to her home was to subdue the ghost dao of the chief worlds and incorporate it into immortal dao.

After that, immortal dao would take another step forward.

Lu Yun’s ambitions were great, but the current World of Immortals couldn’t quite match his vision. There were still no supremes under the immortal dao. He relied on the crutches that were Tailong’s army and people such as Leize and Fuxi in the world of immortals.

Without them, the world of immortals would still be a minor world in the Land of Reincarnation. Thus, what Lu Yun needed to do now was to grasp ahold of all external items that he could and use them to fortify himself.

He’d utilized the ripples formed by the emergence of the Sea of Creation in the World of Soul Dominion to reforge his levels of immortal dao sequence and solidify his foundations. He could break through to twenty-nine, thirty levels at any time and become a senior cultivator.

With the opening of the empyrean supreme’s tomb, basic supremes were in charge of the chief worlds. Senior cultivators were the heavyweights in the meantime.

“Right, the ghost race,” Nightmare nodded. “The source of ghosts is the land of darkness. Come with me.”

She strode forward into the major world that never saw the light of day. In the absence of a blazing sun, everything seemed eerily sinister in this world. Although cultivators of the Ghost Sect were living beings, they became similar to yin ghosts after walking the path of ghost dao. But to Lu Yun’s eyes, there wasn’t much different about this world other than the lack of sunlight and abundance of yin energy throughout.

……

In a palace wreathed by ghostly energy and aura.

The sect master of the Ghost Sect was a woman. Women were of the yin attribute and stronger in ghost dao than men, so there were more female cultivators in the Ghost Sect than male cultivators.

She wore a black silk dress with long black hair scattered over her shoulders. Fair as snow, she was particularly eye-catching in this world. With black lips and eyes, she seemed inordinately uncanny.

“You’re here.” She made a welcoming gesture. Nodding, Lu Yun took a seat. Nightmare stood next to the sect master with her hands by her side.

“What does milord think of my daughter?” the sect master smiled.

“Your daughter? Nightmare?”

“Foster daughter. She led a hard life in the past and almost died to the ghosts. I saved her.” The sect master lifted a tea cup and took a tiny sip of the beverage that wafted a chilly air. “What if I betroth my daughter to milord? Her dowry will be the entire Ghost Sect.”

Lu Yun could clearly sense a violent upheaval of emotion in Nightmare. Her chest rose and fell from the force of her breaths.

“I already have two dao partners,” he shook his head. “My heart cannot contain another.”

“Is milord not tempted by the notion of the entire sect as dowry?” The sect master blinked.

“I would like the sect… but I don’t want another dao partner,” Lu Yun declined.

“And I don’t want to marry off my daughter to you.” She picked up Nightmare’s tiny hand and gently caressed it. “But if I don’t do so, I will be unable to trust you.

“The World of Immortals pushes forward with domineering momentum. One hundred million supremes charge as its vanguard through the chief worlds. My Ghost Sect is less than the dragons and Morans, as well as the Corpse Refiners. We will not be able to protect ourselves if you renege on your word.”

“I’d thought that all the grand supremes in the realm had gone to the tomb in search of opportunity. But to think that you’d stay here, sect master,” Lu Yun changed the topic. “You are a grand supreme, so why are you afraid of an immortal dao that has yet to produce a single supreme?”

“The immortal dao is a dragonling and I am but an old dog. When a dragon soars through the nine heavens, old dogs must bow, no matter how many of us there are,” the sect master responded. “We covet hell, not immortal dao. We can enter hell, but we will not join the World of Immortals.

“Thus, my heart will not be at ease if you are not dao partners with my beloved daughter.”

“A partnership formed out of gain is no guarantee,” Lu Yun declined once again. “The Ghost Sect can enter hell right now if you wish to. It is newly formed and quite empty. There aren’t that many living beings in it and you’d be the first batch of ghost cultivators. The benefits to you are many and drawbacks few.”

The sect master was plainly tempted, but she still didn’t trust Lu Yun.

“Let’s do it this way—we will enter hell if you accomplish one task for me. We will be available for your command, but none of this stands if the task cannot be done.” Plainly, the sect master had come prepared and expected that Lu Yun would refuse her.

“What is it?”

“The Dark Worlds. There are a few special worlds among the chief worlds that are formed out of power from the land of darkness. They are called the Dark Worlds. If you can retrieve one world heart for the Ghost Sect, we will be yours.”

“Mother!” Nightmare’s expression changed drastically when she heard the request.

“A world heart?” Lu Yun flicked a glance at Nightmare, taking in her reaction. “Then let us speak of further matters after I return with it.”

He rose to leave and the sect master readily allowed him to go.

“Mother… it will take at least a high supreme to retrieve a world heart. He…” Nightmare anxiously objected.

The sect master took another sip of bone-chilling tea instead of responding.

“Go with him,” she waved a hand.

“…understood.” Nightmare grit her teeth and caught up to Lu Yun.

“It’s not a Dragon Dominance Ring or any enslavement method… how did he make my dear be so devoted to him?” the sect master murmured.
