"Of course, it's the Ghost Dao,"
A voice came from behind Chu Lingwei. Her eyes flickered, and she turned around, seeing her Senior Brother standing behind her, as gentle as jade.
"Senior Brother, aren't you avoiding me?"
After making her wait for so many days, he had finally decided to show himself. Chu Lingwei let out a soft snort, wanting to tell him that she had a temper too.
"Junior Sister, it's Master's order, and I wouldn't dare disobey." Leng Xingzhi smiled helplessly, noticing his Junior Sister was angry. "Weiwei, this is Master's command."
"Master didn't say you couldn't reply to my spiritual message talisman either?" Chu Lingwei snorted lightly and turned her head. She was very upset that he hadn't replied to her spiritual message talisman for the past few days.
"Weiwei..." Leng Xingzhi walked closer to Chu Lingwei and reached out to take her hand. "Isn't it good to stay at the Spiritual Cultivation Academy?"
Chu Lingwei forcefully shook off Leng Xingzhi's hand. "No, it's not good. I want to go with Master and the others to the Myriad Buddhist Sect."
"Weiwei!" Leng Xingzhi's voice involuntarily rose a notch.
"Senior Brother, I also want to contribute something to the Spiritual Cultivation Academy." Chu Lingwei took a step back. "If we have to hide at home because it's dangerous, then what's the point of cultivating?"
"You're worried that Master and the others might encounter danger?" Leng Xingzhi saw through her words in an instant. Weiwei was concerned that Master and the others might get hurt, which was why she insisted on going.
Chu Lingwei pursed her lips. Everyone told her that death in the cultivation world could happen at any moment, but she had always believed in the power of human effort.
"Weiwei, Master and the others will surely return safely." Leng Xingzhi sighed softly and pulled Chu Lingwei into his embrace. "Master is a mighty being in the Supreme Realm; he's not as weak as you imagine."
She, a cultivator at the Sky Fusion Realm, was worrying about a Supreme Realm mighty being here. It was both amusing and exasperating.
"Senior Brother, I want to go and see." Chu Lingwei hugged Leng Xingzhi back. "I also want to see what the Ghost Realm's purpose is in doing this."
For now, it was only the Ghost Realm. If the Ghost Realm succeeded, the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm would surely want a piece of the Xuan Tian Continent.
"You..." Leng Xingzhi had known for a long time that Weiwei was an impatient person.
"Senior Brother, will you help me?" Chu Lingwei pouted coquettishly. "Senior Brother, I'm just going to take a look. I definitely won't let Master know I'm there. I'm just going to witness the excitement."
"It's very dangerous there." Leng Xingzhi gently pinched Chu Lingwei's nose. He was most afraid of Weiwei acting cute and couldn't stand it.
"I have the means to protect myself, so I'll be fine." Chu Lingwei felt that Senior Brother was softening and pressed her advantage. "Senior Brother, I know you're the kindest. I'll just go out and take a look, and I promise to be back before Master and the others return."
Leng Xingzhi chuckled softly. Although he knew his Junior Sister had already figured out a way to leave, he was very pleased to be praised by her.
"What if I don't agree?"
"Senior Brother!" Chu Lingwei's expression darkened. She had already said so many nice things. "Senior Brother, you haven't spoken to me for so long, and I'm still upset."
"Sigh."
Leng Xingzhi was helpless. He truly had no way to deal with Weiwei.
"Senior Brother, does that mean you agree?" Chu Lingwei's eyes sparkled like starlight when she saw that Senior Brother wasn't refusing outright.
"Even if I disagree, you still have a way to leave, don't you?"
Leng Xingzhi pulled Chu Lingwei to sit on a chair and said with a serious expression, "This trip to the Myriad Buddhist Sect won't just be attended by our Spiritual Cultivation Academy. Various other sects will also be going secretly. You'll not only have to face the elusive ghost cultivators but also guard against cultivators from other sects."
Although they were jointly rescuing the Myriad Buddhist Sect, it couldn't be guaranteed that some sects wouldn't have their own ulterior motives.
"I know. I won't give them any opportunity." Chu Lingwei nodded. When she was out, she wouldn't trust anyone easily.
Leng Xingzhi looked at Weiwei's face and finally warned, "Don't let anyone see your true appearance."
"Yes, I definitely won't let anyone see my face." Chu Lingwei touched her face. This face was now famous throughout the Xuan Tian Continent. She wouldn't want to show her true face even if she could.
Leng Xingzhi sighed. With Weiwei being so mischievous, what was he supposed to do?
"Senior Brother, I'm leaving tonight?" Chu Lingwei tentatively asked, testing the waters. Since Senior Brother could let her leave, she would certainly not let Shui Yi take her place.
"Tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, you'll be in seclusion and cultivating in your cave dwelling."
Since he couldn't stop her, he might as well let her leave willingly.
"Okay, I'll listen to Senior Brother." Chu Lingwei's small annoyance with Senior Brother was long gone now that he was being so agreeable. "Senior Brother, tell me about the Ghost Dao the Ghost Realm wants."
"The Ghost Realm has never had a Ghost Dao, so they want to go all out."
"What is the Ghost Dao?"
Chu Lingwei had always been unable to define what her Senior Brother meant by Ghost Dao.
"The highest realm for ghost cultivators is Ghost Emperor, just like our Sovereign Realm. Once a ghost cultivator reaches the Ghost Emperor realm, they will inevitably embark on the path of breakthrough and search for the Ghost Dao."
Hearing this explanation, Chu Lingwei felt it was similar to completing a breakthrough in the Sovereign Realm.
"If they can find their own Ghost Dao, all future Ghost Emperors can pass through the Ghost Dao to reach higher realms or go to other places."
Leng Xingzhi turned his head to look at Chu Lingwei. "Ten thousand years ago, the gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, and cultivators waged a great war. All five sides were severely wounded, and their paths to breakthrough were severed. Even if they cultivated to the highest realm, they could no longer break through and could only watch their lifespans dwindle."
"So, the entire Spiritual Cultivation Continent is facing this situation, unable to break through the final layer?"
"Yes."
Leng Xingzhi nodded. "For ten thousand years, everyone has been searching for a method of breakthrough, with countless people dying in vain, yet no solution has been found."
"The Ghost Realm's invasion of the Xuan Tian Continent this time is because the Demon Realm has changed hands, and the Ghost Realm is likely to be suppressed by the Demon Realm. The only Ghost Emperor in the Ghost Realm with hope of finding the Ghost Dao is Tu Nie. To avoid being suppressed by the Demon Realm, they must fight with their backs against the wall."
"But how does dealing with the Myriad Buddhist Sect help them in their search?" Chu Lingwei thought of the Myriad Buddhist Sect's Buddhist Light Tower and Spiritual Domain. They couldn't possibly help them resist the Demon Realm.
"It doesn't help, but it can break the peace of the Xuan Tian Continent. When the Xuan Tian Continent falls into chaos, no one will be spared, and the Ghost Realm can naturally breathe easier."
The Ghost Realm now wants to break the peace of the Xuan Tian Continent and also draw the Monster and Demon Realms into it.
"What a self-destructive method." Hearing this, Chu Lingwei felt a surge of anger. To protect themselves, they would harm so many lives. "It's truly detestable."
"But currently, this is the only way to prevent their Ghost Realm from being consumed." Leng Xingzhi's voice was very calm. "Weiwei, this is the true cultivation world."
