Who could have imagined that the Ghost Slayer Path would actually fuse with the Shadow!
Last night, he was still stressing over the issue of two Inheritance Paths not being able to coexist.
But now, with the Shadow maturing, perhaps this problem could be solved!
"If you want to speed up the maturation of the Shadow, then try to make the Shadow faster than you,"
Jing Ci said nonchalantly, "When that mont arrives, you'll be able to use the Shadow directly."
Gu Jianlin found himself bewildered. According to common sense, the Shadow couldn't possibly be faster than oneself.
"I'm not using the Divine Path—you'll have to figure this out yourself."
Jing Ci added: "Forbidden spells are divided into two types: Original Forbidden Curses and Ancient Forbidden Curses. Original Forbidden Curses stem from the Ancient Supre, and each person can only master one type of curse corresponding to their path. Ancient Forbidden Curses, however, are unrestricted. In the future, you'll have plenty of ti to learn more forbidden spells, including Breathing Techniques."
Gu Jianlin thought to himself—so that's how it is.
At that mont, the Soul Skywell trembled violently, as if on the verge of collapse.
"Ti to leave. Don't let the Ether Association discover that the teacher was giving you special treatnt here. Keep this in mind: when using forbidden spells in the future, try to find a secluded place, or use the Lock of Nonexistence to hide it."
Jing Ci advised: "Keep your trump cards hidden. If you can ambush soone, make sure it counts."
Gu Jianlin blinked: "Got it."
"Rember, you never ca here today, and the teacher never gave you extra lessons."
Jing Ci continued: "Recently, the Ether Association has been conducting a thorough internal purge, exposing quite a few traitors, and many people have died. It's a sensitive period, so it's best not to provoke their fragile nerves."
Huai Yin snapped his fingers expressionlessly.
For so reason, Gu Jianlin, through profiling, discovered sothing peculiar.
The two of them seed to be in a rush.
But before he could verify anything, the space twisted once again.
The world spun.

France, Provence.
For a mont, a grocery store appeared amidst the wilderness. The spring breeze swept through, carrying a rich aroma of flowers.
Jing Ci gazed at the vast expanse of purple lavender, lost in thought.
However, when he turned around, he fell silent once again.
Huai Yin pulled out his reading glasses from his pocket, followed by a wrinkled notebook, flipping through to find phone numbers.
In his haste, he even licked his fingers to facilitate flipping the pages.
Finding the number, he picked up the satellite phone in the store and pressed the buttons.
As the call connected, the elderly man squinted contentedly, humming a tune.
Reclining in a redwood deck chair, he was as carefree as a rider galloping with triumph in spring.
"Master, I hope I'm not disturbing your rest."
While brewing tea, Huai Yin chuckled into the phone: "It's nothing serious—I'm just getting old and thinking about you, Master. Once I've handled those two tasks for you, we can catch up properly."
He sighed: "It's been ages since Silver and Gold saw each other too—they miss you dearly."
Whatever the President said on the phone imdiately displeased Huai Yin, who frowned: "Master! How could you think I'd be that kind of person? We're all getting on in years. What's left to brag about anymore? In your eyes, am I really that vain? I'm just nearing the end of my days, wanting to see old friends before my ti's up—nothing more."
"Understood, fine. Go ahead with your etings since they involve the Candle Dragon and Qilin, the two Supres, as well as potential traitors within the association. Caution is key."
He said gently: "Hmm, you're asking for my opinion? I believe such matters are best discussed in person."

Black Cloud City's dical departnt, private apartnt building.
Wanwan was in the study room on the first floor working on her howork, surrounded by a mountain of exercise books.
She was a smart young girl, highly intelligent—within a week, she had mastered the curriculum for third grade. Now, battling with math equations, she bit her pen, her brow furrowed in frustration.
She didn't like howork at all.
Studying brought her endless pain.
Compared to this, her days scavenging in the junkyard were far more joyful.
But her older brother once told her she represented the hope of Sanctuary and had to study hard to earn test scores, ensuring everyone could continue living peacefully within the refuge.
It was rumored that if one studied hard enough, they could awaken the Academic Master Path, ascend to the Ninth-Order University God, and clear the injustices against the sanctuary's inhabitants, punch out the Judgent Court, and stomp the Night Watchers.
Even the Five Supre Beings of old wouldn't be her match—she could save the world.
The world would finally know peace.
The little girl was dumbfounded. Her first reaction was disbelief, so she sought confirmation from her father and sister for help.
But after exchanging peculiar looks, both of them earnestly confird the story.
Wanwan was astonished.
Later, soone told her that she wasn't the only one capable of awakening the Academic Master Path, aning she didn't have to study so rigorously—just doing "okay" was sufficient. Saving the world wasn't mandatory.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
At that mont, thunk-thunk!
The window was knocked on.
Wanwan jumped in fright, thinking the troublemaking kids who bullied her had co again.
She turned and ran imdiately.
"Don't run, it's !"
Outside the window appeared a delicate little face frad by short platinum hair.
Wanwan froze, turning her head timidly, her clear eyes blinking: "Sister Xiao Yu? You're back?"
Ji Xiaoyu crossed her arms: "Of course! There's no cage in this world that can confine ! The Ancient God Realm is nothing—not dangerous in the slightest! Even if the Qilin Venerable showed up, I'd knock them out with one punch!"
Her followers blushed below.
The Little Princess was being hoisted up by her gang.
Wanwan hesitated: "Really? I heard Sister Xiao Yu got sanctioned before."
Ji Xiaoyu's expression turned awkward: "What? Sanctioned? Who could sanction ? That's nonsense!"
Wanwan thought for a mont and weakly said: "But while you were gone, the hospital's TV channels looped videos of you hanging from a streetlight, complete with illustrations. Everyone saw it."
Ji Xiaoyu froze on the spot.
Whoever did this was absolutely despicable!
Her face flushed instantly, nearly bleeding from rage, bursting into fury.
But she couldn't lose face in front of her followers, so she took a deep breath and said, "Editing! It's malicious editing ant to sar ! Ever seen those
videos? They're all fake! This must be jealousy of my talent and envy of my skills, driving them to slander !"
Wanwan seriously asked: "What's a
video?"
Ji Xiaoyu waved her hand dismissively: "Oh, never mind that. Co on, I'll take you out for so fun."
Wanwan whispered: "But I haven't finished my howork yet."
"Howork? What nonsense—forget it! Whoever made you do howork, I'll crush their skull!"
Ji Xiaoyu opened the window: "Co on, the restaurant is serving new desserts today."
Wanwan's eyes glead at the ntion of desserts, and she quickly climbed out.
As a Fourth-Rank Mad King, Ji Xiaoyu effortlessly picked her up: "Don't tell your family. Speaking of which, I recently found so materials in the Qilin Immortal Palace. Might be able to refine an unparalleled Divine Pill—let's test it on so idiots first. If it works, we're rich."
She said excitedly: "Then you won't have to stay here anymore, with—"
Before she finished, whoosh!
A stone whizzed toward them.
Ji Xiaoyu reacted quickly, snapping her fingers, shattering the stone mid-air.
By the hospital entrance stood a fatty with a slingshot, accompanied by several mischievous kids.
They grinned and taunted: "Look, that Unclean One ran out again! Grab your stuff—go hit her!"
Wanwan turned pale and shrank back imdiately.
Ji Xiaoyu's face instantly darkened, noticing the bruises on Wanwan's arm.
"They did this?"
She asked furiously.
Wanwan shook her head, whispering, "No, I got them accidentally."
Ji Xiaoyu, while not exactly a genius, wasn't entirely clueless.
She imdiately put the little girl down, turned around, and raised her hand: "Bring
the rocket launcher."
Her gang promptly handed over a bazooka.
The mischievous kids turned pale: "What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, I'm—"
Boom!
