As Old Water Marsh Mountain Thunder Jiao had said, various ancient texts had recorded it in the sa way, stating that once the Nine-Orifice Martial Demon was summoned, it would lead to the arrival of even more Nine-Orifice Martial Demons.
But if that were the case, where were the Nine-Orifice Martial Demons now?
In the past, people had summoned this anomaly, so why hadn't the Jiawu Realm yet been sward by the Nine-Orifice Martial Demons?
Therefore, after so careful thought, Tan Shuchang concluded that if there was no mistake in those ancient records and the inherited assertions, then it wasn't that the Nine-Orifice Martial Demons didn't exist, but rather that they had long existed in the Jiawu Realm, only it was very likely a different type of Nine-Orifice Martial Demon.
A type of Nine-Orifice Martial Demon that did not conform to the understanding of cultivators in the Jiawu Realm!

The authority of the Snake Desire Realm triggered the Greed Principle, coming from the power of the principle, which caused Tan Shuchang to suddenly return to the bizarre ga world.
Upon his arrival, Tan Shuchang was imdiately inford of a startling piece of news by the Death-speaking Yin God Scholar.
"My lord, I was once again summoned to battle by the bizarre ga, fortunately, this ti thanks to the Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi bestowed by my lord, I achieved no small victory. Furthermore, I discovered sothing—that the beings there are ghosts during the day and turn into humans at night."
The Death-speaking Yin God Scholar said excitedly, as he ca to report his achievents and praise the effectiveness of the Calamity Witnessing Sword Qi, which had exceeded his expectations. Beings of his level, if they did not manifest the Yin God Space, could not even withstand a single Sword Qi.
Ghosts during the day, and then they beco living humans at night?
Seizing this key piece of information, Tan Shuchang's expression inevitably beca sowhat strange.
Could it be that the region he had arrived in this ti in this bizarre ga world was the hidden Ghost Capital nad "Zhige"?
After all, the residents of that Ghost Capital "Zhige" indeed exhibited this particular trait.
Then, Tan Shuchang inquired further.
"My lord, so of the beings there are aware of this, as they retain their ghostly identity through the night. However, many are unaware, and there are even quite a few who are afraid of ghosts..." The Death-speaking Yin God Scholar was, of course, completely candid and exhaustive in his reporting.
Listening to this description, Tan Shuchang's initial speculation, which had only been thirty to forty percent certain, suddenly jumped to seventy to eighty percent certainty.
After all, the similarity was increasing.
The bizarre ga... inviting ghosts?
Tan Shuchang pondered this matter seriously and then realized there seed to be no issue, after all, no one had stipulated that the bizarre ga could only invite living people to beco players.
Inviting ghosts to beco players was also permissible!
"Could it be that the bizarre ga is about to flee?" Tan Shuchang could not help but consider this possibility, especially since in the Ghost Heavenly Way, when combined with the power of three realms, it could fully resist the corruption and invasion of one branch of the Ghost Heavenly Way, but if it were the second branch of the Ghost Heavenly Way, then it would surpass the bizarre ga's limit of resistance.
The bizarre ga world had to leave a world targeted by the Ghost Heavenly Way at the first opportunity to ensure its own purity from contamination and invasion.
However, this thought just flitted through his mind, as whether the bizarre ga world fled or not did not greatly concern him.
He was even rather uninterested in the possible Ghost Capital "Zhige", the location where the bizarre ga had seemingly made its descent.
That was until the Death-speaking Yin God Scholar brought him a set of ti data.
"My lord, while there, I distinctly felt that the flow of ti seed to have sped up, not just in a small localized area, but across the whole world. However, due to my limited powers, I was not able to perceive it clearly, so I could only record the changes."
The look in Tan Shuchang's eyes suddenly changed.
A localized change in ti flow was similar to upgrading a cultivator's retreat sanctuary. In other words, it offered him no aid in comprehending the "Twenty-Four Seasons."
The directional understanding of the "Twenty-Four Seasons", though it involves the twenty-four solar terms of spring, sumr, autumn, and winter, encompasses the entire heavens and earth.
But if the flow of ti across the entire world was indeed faster, then it could greatly aid Tan Shuchang's cultivation and comprehension of the "Twenty-Four Seasons."
And there was no need to worry that the ancient masters of the Immortal Sect might arrive in the midst of his enlightennt.
Tan Shuchang had already slain several incarnations of ancient masters, and he was well aware that the first thing those masters would do upon their arrival would likely be to kill him.
Therefore, he must possess enough strength before the arrival of the ancient masters.
So, Tan Shuchang went to seek the Greedy Venerable King and the Calamity Witnessing King.
"You plan to go to the realm shared by humans and ghosts?" As soon as Tan Shuchang arrived, the two guessed his intentions, not because they knew it related to Tan Shuchang's cultivation, but because they believed it involved the laws of greed.
The Laws of Greed required offerings of greed.
In the past, the Greedy Venerable King could consort with the Ghost Heavenly Way to satisfy the Laws of Greed. Thus, today there might be the Lan Shou King making offerings to the Laws of Greed in the realm shared by humans and ghosts.
"A realm shared by humans and ghosts?" Tan Shuchang was sowhat interested in this description, after all, in this regard, the Greedy Venerable King and the Calamity Witnessing King were the experts.
And he was more a professional when it ca to eating.
"In that realm, Yin and Yang are not out of balance, yet the creatures there are ghosts during the day and humans at night. Such a peculiarity can only an that every individual is born with a ghost inside them,"
"Since they are constantly nourished by the blood of the living, the ghosts have the ability to manifest during the day. At night, to allow the humans to replenish what is needed for life and to keep their blood strong, the ghosts will contract, giving the humans free ti."
The Calamity Witnessing King, who had a relatively good relationship with Tan Shuchang, expressed his views upon hearing this.
And upon hearing the Calamity Witnessing King say this, the Greedy Venerable King also voiced his opinion, but differed in one aspect: "I agree that people are born with a ghost inside them in that realm. However, I do not agree with the view that ghosts dominate. I believe that humans and ghosts have equal status there. The difference lies in so knowing about each other and so not."
Tan Shuchang nodded slightly, as he was neither arguntative nor seeking to learn, so he directly asked, "Then how should I proceed to that realm?"
Although he wanted to use that realm to comprehend the "Twenty-Four Seasons", if the hidden risks were too great, Tan Shuchang would have to give up.
"It would be more appropriate for an incarnation governed by laws to go there, but you shouldn't stay long. Lan Shou King, you might look within the Snake Desire Realm; if there is power from the Ghost Heavenly Way that creates paper, you could try to comprehend the power of creation from it.
If this thod works, then you could fold paper to create an avatar to visit in your place," said the Greedy Venerable King.
Upon hearing this, the Calamity Witnessing King nodded alongside; this thod indeed was the safest. Moreover, it could also help the Lan Shou King delay the greedy demands of the Laws of Greed.
"Thank you, both of you!"
Tan Shuchang expressed his gratitude and imdiately returned to the Snake Desire Realm.
The power of the Ghost Heavenly Way that generates paper wasn't hard to find, as near such power were all kinds of irregular papers.
White papers, yellow papers, various kinds, fluttering about.
Even for a body of the Yin God, there was a risk of being turned into paper upon getting close.
Creation, in this context, ant paper.
Tan Shuchang knew he was not particularly insightful, so he asked the Death-speaking Yin God to summon a fierce ghost that worshipped the paper-creating power of the Ghost Heavenly Way to enhance this type of Ghost Heavenly Way power.
Finally, the power of the Ghost Heavenly Way that creates paper began to change, no longer scattered and unowned, but condensed into a mass of black light.
Suddenly, a paper hand extended from the black light.
Then, a slightly delicate paper figure slowly erged from it.
This paper figure was in the form of a monk who, upon stepping out, pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist invocation: "Namo Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk cos from the Treasure Mountain Heaven Earth Temple! I request permission from the Laws of Greed to preach and teach here!"
The term "Pri Minister" here referred to Tan Shuchang, the Lan Shou King.
This was the terminology used by the Ghost Heavenly Way for the Three Kings, or rather, this was truly the "official title" of the Three Kings.
