Chapter 960: Legends of the Spirit Ruins Realm
ore Realm, but he hadn't expected Di Kun's progress to surpass his own. 。After successfully crossing the tribulation and becoming a seventh-rank demon beast, Di Kun's attack methods were also quite l...Qiu Shui Town was originally just an ordinary town in the mundane human world. But at this time, it was bustling with people, and everywhere you looked, there were hastily erected tents and military equipment. This showed that the town was currently in a state of chaos and disorder.
Lu Xia Tian found himself in the wilderness, gazing at a towering light in the distance, accompanied by a hint of chaotic demonic energy.
Suddenly, a ringing sound like bells arose from the northwest. In an instant, people surged and thronged within Qiushui Town.
The vengeful spirits of the demon clan have arrived!
“Brave warriors, prepare to meet the enemy!” A voice like thunder boomed. A man with a face full of steel-like beard and whiskers, broad-shouldered and powerful, held a two-zhang long blade in his hand, riding on a tiger. The surrounding soldiers surged.
Here is the translation:
As for the common people in the small town, they too began to bustle about.
“Hurry, bring the summoning banner and sprinkle some black dog blood!”
The soldiers, bustling about under the guidance of several Taoists, erected soul-poles strung with white paper and adorned with dozens of bells of various sizes. The bells bore some rudimentary runes, not quite considered spiritual artifacts, but possessing a faint hint of spirituality.
When low-ranking vengeful spirits passed by, the bells above would ring. A basin of black dog blood splashed out, and dozens of low-ranking vengeful spirits shrieked in terror. The blood煞 power of the black dog blood was much stronger than that of ordinary people, causing these vengeful spirits, which were relatively weak compared to humans, to appear.
“Loose the arrows!” At this moment, a mighty warrior riding a tiger arrived with his troops. The soldiers drew their bows and nocked arrows. These were not ordinary arrows, but ones crafted from peach wood. Peach wood contains pure yang energy, which has some effect against evil spirits.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
whoosh whoosh...
A volley of arrows flew out, killing off most of the dozen or so low-level vengeful spirits. The rest fled in terror.
"Lu Daoist friend, you're here so early!" In the distance, a ray of light flew over from the horizon. It was Hua Yingfu, the wife of Wan Shou Zong.

Lu Xia Tian concentrated his gaze and saw that there was also Luoc Qing from the Gujian Sect.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"There's a vision here, the Ancient Sword Sect is sending a message. How can I slack off"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Lu Xia Tian smiled and took a glance at Luo Qing. After Luo Qing ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage, he didn't hold a celebration ceremony. This was mostly due to Luo Qing's drastically changed personality. Additionally, the Gu Jian Sect had a large-scale business and many Nascent Soul cultivators, so it wasn't a particularly significant event compared to Ling Xiao Palace. If before, during the Golden Core stage, Luo Qing was just expressionless, now he was like an ancient, unmelting ice mountain. Even when their eyes met, Lu Xia Tian couldn't see any hint of emotion in his gaze. The depths of his eyes gave Lu Xia Tian a shiver down his spine.
“How is Sister Luo doing these days”
"Thanks to Lu Shixiong, I'm doing well." Luo Qing nodded coldly, a stark contrast to her usual self.
Lu Xia Tian shrugged off the annoyance and refocused his attention on the mundane human army battling with vengeful spirits and newly appearing low-rank skeletons. The invasion of the Ghost Clan wasn't just a matter for cultivators; it was a concern for all humankind on the Qing Yu Continent. These ordinary humans, though not as powerful as cultivators, possessed some knowledge about countering the Ghost Clan. In various secular kingdoms, there were scattered cultivators and even inherited families of cultivators who knew how to deal with the Ghosts.
Though it's not very effective against more powerful ghosts, it still played a considerable role.
After all, the number of cultivators had greatly decreased after the great war, and they were simply unable to take care of everything. At this time, ordinary people in the mortal world faced the danger of extermination and spontaneously organized themselves. With the help of cultivators, they learned some methods for dealing with the ghost clan, which did have a considerable effect.

In this autumn water town, there are actually quite a few cultivators. They only make a move when they encounter some powerful ghost clan. As for Lu Xiaoteng and his group, they came here because of the anomalies that appeared in this place.
“Lu Dao-you arrived a little early. Have you made any discoveries” Hua Ying-fu asked.
“I just arrived a while ago and am still observing.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head.
"If this is indeed the way to the Lingxu Realm, perhaps we can once and for all resolve the threat of the Ghost Clan." Luo Qing said coldly.
After reaching the Yuan Ying cultivator stage, Lu Xia Tian officially stepped into the high-level of the Wangyue Cultivation World. With this invasion by the Ghost Clan, Lu Xia Tian also came into contact with past secrets about ancient cultivators. In ancient times, humans, demons, ghosts, and monsters coexisted, engaging in constant warfare.
And to this day, Lu Xia Tian has mostly encountered humans or various demon races wherever he went. Occasionally, there are also ghost cultivators, but true ghosts of the kind found in the Millennial Calamity of the Giant Stone Clan are only ever seen during that time.
This sudden outbreak of the Ghost Clan brought a huge crisis to the major immortal cultivation worlds like Wangyue and Tianqiong. At the same time, these major immortal cultivation worlds also wanted to permanently resolve the Ghost Clan menace, so they all searched for the oldest traditions within their respective sects to see if there were any records about the Ghost Clan.
However, perhaps because too much time has passed, the records of the ancient cultivators' battles are only fragmentary. To sum up, there are the Ghost Clan, the Demon Clan, the Monster Clan, and the Lingxu Secret Realm.
According to the current situation, a group of Yuan Ying old monsters have repeatedly pondered and speculated that this Lingxu secret realm is most likely the place where ancient cultivators fought with demon clans, ghost clans, and monster clans. It's possible that the ghost clan was sealed within the Lingxu secret realm. Now that the seal has loosened, it allows the ghosts to re-establish connections with the Wangyue cultivation world and the Giant Stone Clan.
Although the Ghost Clan came aggressively this time, it also suddenly excited the group of Yuan Ying old monsters. In the Qingyu Continent, although there were rumors of Nascent Soul cultivators, they were ultimately just empty talk after all.

Lingxu Secret Realm, perhaps due to the long time or the repeated battles between the cultivation worlds, its records and inheritance were interrupted. However, people speculate that it does exist after all. In ancient times, there were cultivators who achieved ascension, even those whose power surpassed ascension. As Lingxu Secret Realm was the place where several major races fought in ancient times, it is very likely to contain the legacy of ancient cultivators.
Like Zhao Tiannan, Wen Changyun, and Ji Qian shui, these great cultivators who reached the late Nascent Soul stage almost touched the peak, making it difficult to advance further.
Even the lifespan of a great cultivator is only a thousand years at most. They naturally also wish to go further. If this rumored Lingxu Secret Realm truly exists, they could enter it and perhaps find an opportunity that belongs to them.
On the Qingyu Continent, even prodigies like Wen Changyun and Ji Qian Shui found it as difficult as reaching the heavens to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. The Ghost Clan's sudden outburst wasn't just a crisis, but also an opportunity.
Moreover, if ancient cultivators had fought against the Ghost Clan in the Lingxu Realm before, it is highly probable that they left behind methods to deal with the Ghost Clan or some powerful artifacts capable of suppressing them within the Lingxu Realm. If we could obtain such treasures, they might be of immense help in resolving the current Ghost Clan issue.
Lu Xia Tian didn't hold much hope for this either. He always felt things wouldn't be so simple. However, the sudden appearance of spiritual energy, a small amount of demonic energy, and ghostly energy erupting simultaneously in Qiushui Town was something he had never seen before. His doubts hadn't eased at all.
