The Client was dumbfounded. If she cut down this haunted pagoda tree forest, she would incur a mortal enmity with the ghosts. If she didn’t, she would be killed by the Wooden Ghost herself.
Both paths forward were blocked, and her face instantly turned grim.
"Pretty auntie, don’t worry. This matter is a bit troubleso to resolve, but I can call for help!"
Yao Yao saw the Client’s anxiety clearly. She spoke in her sweet, childish voice.
The reason she called it troubleso wasn’t because the Wooden Ghost was powerful, but because there were simply too many ghosts in this pagoda tree ghost forest.
Yao Yao was afraid she wouldn’t be able to catch them all in one go.
If a few escaped, the Client would be the one to suffer. Yao Yao never did anything she wasn’t sure about.
Moreover, she clearly rembered that she wasn’t fighting alone. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t catch them all; soone would help her.
"Then I’ll trouble you, Master."
This reply made the Client’s eyes light up.
She quickly sent her address through the backend and then paused, asking, "Master, what do your... friends like? I’ll have the servants prepare in advance."
Although she wasn’t sure where the other party was coming from, no matter what, they were coming to deal with her trouble, and she couldn’t let them make a trip for nothing.
"What do they like?"
Yao Yao was stumped by the question, as she herself wasn’t sure.
If she had to na one thing, they seed to quite like the ’yuanbao’ (ingot-shaped paper offerings) she folded.
However, saying that wouldn’t be helpful.
The Client was an ordinary person. Not only could she not see Yin ssengers or ghost deities, but even if she could, they wouldn’t appreciate the yuanbao she folded.
So, after a pause, she added, "Pretty Auntie, there’s no need to go to such trouble. I’ll handle this matter later."
"If you truly want peace of mind, you can donate to charity organizations. That would count as our reward!"
She wasn’t short on money, and as for the helpers she called, they had passed away thousands of years ago and had no need for money.
It would be better to donate to those in need; it could also accumulate rit!
"Okay, I’ll personally take care of it later."
The Client nodded in agreent. After all, she supported such donations every year.
However, in the past, she had always instructed her butler to handle it. If the Master saved her this ti, she had to show her sincerity.
And doing it personally was certainly the best way to show her attitude.
"Good... we can talk about these things later. Please go downstairs and wait outside the forest. Rember, do not enter the forest. Just follow my instructions!"
Yao Yao earnestly instructed the Client, then took out the jade tablet hanging from her waist and began to summon soone.
Outsiders, unaware of the jade tablet’s origin, began to speculate when they saw her actions.
...
On the other side, the Client obediently went downstairs. Fearing the Wooden Ghost, she also called her butler to accompany her.
The two walked one after another to the vicinity of the pagoda tree forest, then stopped.
Subsequently, the Client was astonished by the scene before her, frozen in place.
Before them stood clusters of tall pagoda trees, their canopies, like magnificent parasols, crowded and overlapped, completely blocking the scattered sunlight.
It was clearly midday, yet a chill emanated from the forest.
"If Master hadn’t said anything, in such hot weather, I really would have wanted to go in to escape the heat."
The Client murmured, and then goosebumps uncontrollably rose on her skin.
Because she knew what she would encounter if she entered the forest; it was hard to say if she’d even keep her life.
Thinking this, she subtly retreated several dozen steps. Adding to her original distance, she was now over a hundred ters away...
Only then did the Client feel a sense of security. She made no further movents, instead quietly awaiting the Master’s instructions.
The wait wasn’t long. About five or six minutes later, the Master’s voice rang out in her ear.
"Alright, Pretty Auntie, you can move closer. My little friend has arrived, and he’ll protect you."
Through the cara, Yao Yao naturally saw the figure standing outside the pagoda tree forest. That familiar ’prosperity’ hat belonged none other than her familiar White Impermanence – Xie Bian.
"How do you want to do this? You act, and I’ll stand guard?"
As the Client approached, Xie Bian glanced at the small child in the phone and slowly spoke.
He could tell at a glance that the entire pagoda tree forest had now ford a natural formation that nurtured Yin. He had no problem dealing with the ghosts within the forest. However, breaking this formation would be troubleso.
He was, after all, an underworld deity, not skilled in this art, and might easily make a mistake.
But if the formation wasn’t broken, over ti, it was not impossible for a second Wooden Ghost to erge.
At that point, he might have to make another trip, which would truly be a waste of effort.
"Mm-hmm, Lord Impermanence, I’ll do it!"
Yao Yao nodded upon hearing this. She didn’t think this was hard work; on the contrary, she was quite eager.
Her real purpose in being so proactive was to try out her Tier Nine abilities.
This ghost forest formation was naturally occurring and should be able to withstand a few blows, making it perfect for an experint.
Seemingly fearing an accident, Yao Yao even asked the Client to invite the fire departnt to prevent any potential fire later.
Once these miscellaneous matters were clearly arranged and there were no more worries, Yao Yao sat up straight with a serious expression, then closed her eyes.
A few breaths later, a sowhat illusory soul body, identical in appearance to her but indistinct, erged from her physical shell.
This was her Primordial Spirit, her soul combined with vital essence and spirit.
It was important to know that high-level Xuann cultivation primarily centered on the Primordial Spirit.
This was also the reason for the thunder tribulation at every step after Tier Seven: it was actually to temper the Primordial Spirit.
Because, compared to the physical body, the Primordial Spirit was more capable of withstanding the ravages of ti.
Looking at the heavens and earth, the true Immortals who could live freely and eternally were fundantally those whose Primordial Spirits were indestructible.
And Xuann Tier Nine, the Human Sovereign Three Realms, was about continually approaching this goal. Once a cultivator crossed the "Three Flowers Converging at the Peak," it ant they could truly achieve dayti ascension and beco an Immortal on the spot.
Although cultivators who achieved immortality through this path were called "Human Immortals," they were far inferior to "Earth Immortals" and those "Innate Deities."
But with the Dao Fruit achieved, they could still achieve long life and freedom.
As the final step of the Human Sovereign Realm, a Tier Nine cultivator’s Primordial Spirit was already strong enough to easily detach and exist independently.
And activating her Primordial Spirit, besides the fact that she was recording a show and couldn’t suddenly disappear, was also because traversing the Ghost Gate in her Primordial Spirit form was far more efficient than doing so with her physical body, making it suitable for ergencies.
It was for all these reasons that Yao Yao made her current decision.
The tiny Primordial Spirit stood in the air, then with a small pull of her hand, a pitch-black Ghost Gate was opened.
Yao Yao followed, not even looking back, her figure flashing, completely disappearing from the room.
Before leaving, she also sent a telepathic ssage to her Seventh Brother, asking him to help stabilize the live stream.
This was good that he knew beforehand; otherwise, Gu Yu, if he were to suddenly find his sister lifeless on the chair, would surely be scared to death on the spot.
After all, he was just an ordinary person and couldn’t comprehend such things as a Primordial Spirit departing the body.
