Chapter 866: The Secret of the Ghost Deity
After listening to Meng Zhang's account of the oath document, Shou Zheng fell into silence for a while before speaking.
The oath document signed by Meng Zhang was essentially the same as making a Ghost Oath, which is a guarantee provided by a Ghost Deity for the fulfillment of the oath.
However, different oath documents have different Ghost Deities providing the guarantee.
Unlike what Meng Zhang had imagined, the ones who could provide guarantees for the Ghost Oath were not weak Ghost Deities but powerful ones among the Ghost Deities.
According to Shou Zheng, providing a guarantee for the Ghost Oath is also a form of cultivation for the Ghost Deities and involves the principles of the Grand Dao.
Only powerful Ghost Deities can obtain such an opportunity, and only the strong ones can ensure the fulfillment of the oath.
It makes sense, as if one's strength is not sufficient to ensure the fulfillment of the oath, the Ghost Deity providing the guarantee would also suffer from the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth.
In the Cultivation World, the Ghost Oath usually has a stronger binding effect on cultivators at the Gold Core stage and below.
This is not because the providing Ghost Deities are not powerful enough, but because as Ghost Deities, they find it difficult to directly descend to the mortal world.
