Master of Strange Dao

"I can't remember, I just thought of something when I saw it, but I don't remember the specifics."

Half Skull leaned against the tree, unwilling to move, feeling a bit lazy all over. If the person speaking weren't Yu Ziqing, he wouldn't even want to talk now, just lie quietly.

The satisfaction from truly eating food, swallowing it down, far surpasses being worshiped.

Although he can't really remember anymore, just occasionally some fragmented memories appear, he still feels it's best now.

The greatest obsession of someone who starved to death is, naturally, to eat their fill.

If given the chance to choose, Half Skull wouldn't choose to become the Sacrificial God he once was. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI★Fire.net

Yu Ziqing couldn't get much out of him and didn't plan to ask anymore.

The first real experience of being full is rare for a hungry ghost, and it's very important for future development.

Yu Ziqing didn't continue to disturb Half Skull and instructed others not to bother him either.

The Heart-eating Ghost named Little Black was devoured by Wu Shuangge and Half Skull.

Wu Shuangge's ability to eat Little Black probably has something to do with his previous transformation, but more because he's not picky and his diet is much wider than that of an average hungry ghost.

As for Half Skull, he could devour Little Black likely due to his special identity, even as a hungry ghost, he couldn't discard the rank of Sacrificial God and was limited by his diet.

Little Black happened to be on that menu.

Yu Ziqing glanced in the direction of the Abyss Rift Valley, having a rough idea in mind.

Yuan Chou's power, its aura and intent, are very similar to the Black Ship Saint's, all having a feeling of originating from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World.

And Little Black was almost a congregation of malice.

Burned by the Black Fire, only the effect of having his heart gouged out appeared, no other change occurred, something Yu Ziqing encountered for the first time.

This is a typical retribution.

This ghostly creature absolutely came from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, it couldn't be from anywhere else.

And he remembered that, on both sides of that bridge stood a heap of those Little Blacks.

The plus side is, Half Skull's dietary list now includes something new, from now on, if there are more Little Blacks, Half Skull will definitely eat them.

Yu Ziqing is looking forward to seeing what changes will come after Half Skull slowly recovers.

If it wasn't too unfair to give Half Skull beef jerky now, Yu Ziqing would want to see if he could transform.

There's a whole heap of hungry ghosts lined up ahead of Half Skull.

There are plenty of hungry ghosts who like to lie down after eating their fill, but there are also many like the Deceitful Ghost, whose ambition overflows.

At the very least, every bowl of water must be balanced.

In the Jinlan Mountain Forbidden Land, the locust trees in the locust forest to the east are the most fiercely competitive, and it's not without reason.

Turning back, Yu Ziqing approached Yuan Chou, asking him to cooperate in his research.

This time, the Long Bridge full of Little Blacks didn't appear again. Yuan Chou mobilized his power, encountering no obstacles.

Yu Ziqing was somewhat unwilling, but no matter how he tried, it was the same result.

He didn't believe there was no one on the other side of the Long Bridge, nor did he believe those Little Blacks held dominance.

The Heart-eating Ghost that had come earlier seemed more like a disposable probe, yet the other party kept hiding, without even glancing over.

This didn't resemble any Great Devil Yu Ziqing had seen before.

Even the likes of the Seven Yin King, as cowardly as they are, can't help but poke out their neck to see who's being so audacious when spied upon.

But this time, this one didn't show at all from start to finish.

The most important point is that these Little Blacks can come out from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, and that Incense Fire Bridge is clearly not something those devils could have made.

Besides, when Yuan Chou used that kind of power, he could connect to the other side, and he said the Black Shadow Man was dead, if this is true.

An obvious conclusion emerges, the Great Devil controlling those Little Blacks has already come out of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World.

Cultivators do not know much about the Mud of the Muddied World because it very rarely appears, and there's never enough to gather into a sea.

This ghostly thing is something any living being, even a ghost, would avoid as if it were a cesspool.

Anything with rational thought, no, anything with the instinct to tend to the good and avoid the evil, would steer clear of the Mud of the Muddied World.

That Mud Sea of the Muddied World is not a public restroom, come and go as you please.

Yu Ziqing has always wanted to find such a person, rational, able to be used as a leverage, capturing them as a "power bank" for experiments, without feeling guilty.

The current appearing guy is almost too suitable.

Unfortunately, this person is even more reclusive than the Seven Yin King.

Humph, this person's reputation must be worse than the Seven Yin King, whose actions are already considered trash among devils, cowardly to death, and any devil with a bit of strength has to badmouth the Seven Yin King a bit.

Because they fear being seen as cowards themselves.

This one is definitely a disgrace among devils, a shame among devils.

Just standing with him would lower one's class.

How could he not even dare to take a look.

Yu Ziqing was somewhat angry, slandering for quite a while inside his mind.

Delving into research of rituals, sacrificial techniques, and leveraging power for promotion wasn't just out of interest anymore.

His previous explanation to others was that every outburst of his was borrowed power, which is why he could display Ninth Tier strength.

At that time, he lacked education, made things up, and others actually believed it.
