Chapter 467 - All Spirits Calendar

Chapter 467 All Spirits Calendar

Su Li’s body stiffened for a moment, then eased down.

This piece of ancient awareness was gentle and even made Su Li feel amiable. Her instinct told her that this piece of awareness was not dangerous.

She took two steps back and let the red smoke float up into the nothingness and turn into a shadow of an aged dragon. After the shadowy body solidified gradually, the dragon opened its eyes, and saw Su Li.

“Finally, here comes a junior after so many years.”

A husky voice like leaves rustling sounded and came into Su Li’s ears, as if it went through many years.

As the dragon shadow glimpsed at Su Li, she felt a coolness blew through her body. And then she heard the aged voice with some surprise and doubt.

“You… are not a member of our Ghost Clan!”

Su Li looked at the dragon shadow and replied with neither disrespect nor humbling herself, “Yes and no. And you do not seem to be from Ghost Clan either.”

Maybe her ambiguous answer interested the dragon shadow, and a little chuckle came from the nothingness. However, Su Li felt some sadness from it.

“Has the Ghost Clan been so declined that the juniors nowadays even can’t recognize me?”

A light flickered over Su Li’s eyes, but she did not answer the question. If Black Lotus did not know who or what the dragon shadow in front of her was, the authenticity of its words would be questionable.

Seeing Su Li did not respond, the dragon shadow was not annoyed, but asked in a gentle voice, “Junior, which year is it according to the All Spirits Calendar?”

Both Su Li and Black Lotus were shocked by the question. Black Lotus howled in Su Li’s ears.

“All Spirits Calendar is older than Qingshui Calendar, so this is an old monster who has outlived me. You must be extremely careful, Master!”

After saying that, Black Lotus shrank his pneuma into the very depths of the Black Lotus Ring. Even Su Li could barely sense a little bit.

Su Li looked a little gloomy, but she did not dare to neglect the dragon shadow. She held her fist, and said in a respectful tone, “Senior, we are using Qingshui Calendar now. The All Spirits Calendar may be a calendar before Qingshui Calendar. And I sincerely don’t know how to convert it.”

The dynamic dragon shadow was slightly sluggish at the words and then let out an aged sigh.

Su Li stood beside quietly and did not dare to say a word because she had no idea about the old monster’s temperament. After all, the old monster slept for countless years and was disconnected from the present world.

It was better to be careful.

Even she felt no danger.

The wait didn’t last long. Su Li counted in her heart that two days had passed. The dragon shadow seemed to perk up and said, “Junior, you are special.”

Su Li’s gaze changed, while the dragon shadow burst out laughing, “No need to be so nervous. I just want to chat with you. Maybe I will disperse before the end of our chat.”

He even did not wait for Su Li’s response and continued with a strange gaze at her, “Your destiny is odd and rare even during the years of the All Spirits Calendar. It is a rare fate that go against the nature law.”

“Senior, you are sharp-sighted.”

Since she was seen through, Su Li did not deny it and bowed graciously, “I am struggling to survive in the cultivation circle nowadays and only can live where the awareness of natural law is weak. A few days ago, I got some troubles and had to fight against nature’s punishment. Senior, you are so experienced. Do you have a way to deal with it?”

“Natural law…” The dragon shadow sneered, “… is just a villain who just flatters the powerful ones and eradicates the people who is against it. It doesn’t deserve to be the natural law!”

Su Li narrowed her eyes and shocked slightly.

What did the dragon shadow mean?

Could it be possible that natural law was not consciousness but a creature like human beings who were emotional and selfish?

“I do have quite a few methods against nature’s punishment, but you are too weak to use any of them.”

What the dragon shadow said upset Su Li a little. But the dragon shadow said again, “However, nature’s punishment I spoke of is a complete consciousness. But if you want to fight against it where the awareness of natural law is weak as you talked about, you can barely have a try with your cultivation. Show me your practice methods…”

Su Li did not hesitate when she heard that. She opened the All Spirits Tactics, and deployed Suiyu Tactics.

As a wisp of jasper light appeared in Su Li’s palm, the calm dragon shadow lost the rhythm of his breathing. A gale was set off and blew Su Li hundreds of feet away.

“Kuiyu Palace… You are a disciple of Kuiyu Palace!!!”

The dragon shadow’s trembling voice resounded through the world as if he saw something extremely terrifying.

Su Li barely stabilized her body by pulling out her flying sword and thrusting it into the ground. She shouted, “Senior, don’t panic. I got this practice method coincidentally and there is no force of Kuiyu Palace in Qingshui Circle now!”

Her explanation seemed to work. The dragon shadow took a deep breath and regained his calm after he saw Su Li approaching. The dragon shadow said in an aged voice with a strong sense of awe,

“Time is the most terrible enemy indeed. A powerful force like Kuiyu…”

In mid-sentence, he stopped as if he still dreaded that name. He looked at Su Li and said, “You are indeed a person of profound fortune. You got not only the legendary practice method but also the All Spirits Tactics, which is also a great secret practice method and comparable to Kuiyu…! You should cherish it.”

Su Li nodded but did not mention that she had only gotten the first level of All Spirits Tactics and kept it in mind.

“I had thought that the Ghost Clan had been declined and worried that you might not meet the standard of practicing secret methods. Well then… I will teach you a spell.”

As the dragon shadow said, he stretched his claw to point at Su Li’s glabella.

Su Li did not evade. Based on that move just before, she had realized that this old monster could kill her easily. If he intended to kill her, there was no need to make such effort.

A large amount of information rushed into Su Li’s awareness sea along with the tingle at her glabella.

Su Li just frowned and focused on absorbing the thoughts transferred by the dragon shadow.

The dragon shadow was surprised when he saw that. He was from the Prehistoric Ghost Clan and his soul-body was refined to the extreme. This was the reason why he hadn’t dispersed after sleeping over hundreds of millions of years. The junior in front of him was twenty years old at most but could accept his gift without turning a hair.

Out of curiosity, he could not help but release a trace of ghost energy into Su Li’s body to test.

What happened next was jaw-droppingly stunning for him.

The pneuma hiding in Su Li’s body sensed the ghost energy released by the dragon shadow and awoke suddenly. It unfolded a vortex like a big mouth, and swallowed the wisp of the ghost energy!

Yes, swallowed!

The dragon shadow fell into a daze and thought of something suddenly. Unexpectedly, he revealed a wild joy on his face.

“This girl… is from the Ghost Clan as well!!!”

“The inheritance of our clan did not break!”

“But this girl’s real body is from the Human Clan. It’s troublesome…”

The expressions on the dragon shadow’s face kept changing, but fixed on joy at last. As long as the inheritance of the Ghost Clan could be reserved, regardless of her clan, he would no longer feel guilty.

As he was thinking about it, he still felt some regret.

It was quite easy for someone at his age to walk in Su Li. And he could have thousands of methods to fight against nature’s punishment after he left here. But the girl was also from the Ghost Clan.

If he began to walk in Su Li who possessed a physical body and from the same clan as him, he would be devoured by Su Li, and give everything he got in the hundreds of millions of years to this little girl.

“Luckily, I’m not that greedy.”

The dragon shadow was glad secretly. A living dog was better than a dead lion. Although he had been sleeping here like a dead, he… just did not want to die!

Maybe he would be reborn one day if Qingshui Circle changed.

Su Li did not know the thoughts of the dragon shadow, but noticed the weirdness in his gaze after she came back to consciousness.

“Senior, why do you keep staring at me?”

Su Li couldn’t help but ask after she tidied up the information in her mind.

The dragon shadow coughed and said, “The secret method has been passed on to you. You need to practice hard and diligently. I know your physique is so unique and that the talent in your body has not completely awakened. I will show you a right path.”

After the dragon shadow finished that, a road sign showed up out of nothing. It pointed remotely at the depths of the ancestral land in the Ghost Circle.

“This space has sealed a lot of ghosts, and your physique can only be activated by devouring enough ghosts. The way I point for you can help you open the path of devouring gradually. It will take you about ten years to wake up your talent. After that, you will be invincible not only when you are against enemies of Jindan Realm but also of Yuanying Realm!”

Su Li took over the road sign. She bowed deeply to the dragon shadow after a moment of silence, and said respectfully, “Thank you for showing me the way, Senior!”

She was sensible enough to distinguish whether what the dragon shadow said was true or not. He might have some other ideas before, but didn’t at that moment.

Su Li couldn’t know the reason for the time being. So, she said goodbye to the dragon shadow and left the heart chamber of the skeleton under the gratifying gaze of the dragon shadow.

After six hours of rushing, Su Li was out of the sensing range of the dragon shadow. She felt relaxed. The Black Lotus Ring appeared immediately. As the black lotus rotating, Black Lotus showed himself with a frightened expression.

“It scared the hell out of me! Little Su Li, that dragon shadow is an old monster during the time of the All Spirits Calendar, and also from Ghost Clan!”

Su Li was slightly stunned and said, “The body of evil ghost?”

“Correct!”

Black Lotus nodded. He recalled the memories buried for tens of thousands of years in his mind, and said in an unsmooth voice, “The name of the body of evil ghost didn’t exist until Qingshui Circle came forth. It had another name during the years when All Spirits Calendar was used. Those who lived long in the Ghost Clan knew it as Prehistoric Ghost Clan!”

“Prehistoric Ghost Clan?”

Su Li’s gaze flickered thoughtfully, “If the body of evil ghost is equivalent to the Prehistoric Ghost Clan, so what the extinct Ghost Clan will be?”

Black Lotus sighed and said slowly, “I just have heard legends about it and do not know whether it is true or not. It’s said that the Prehistoric Ghost Clan in the time of All Spirits Calendar was the genuine Ghost Clan. Those extinct visional ghosts were just food of the Prehistoric Ghost Clan.”

Su Li stopped her footsteps and associated the clues in her mind.

No wonder that her talent could be activated by devouring ghosts. The ghosts that the dragon shadow talked about must be from the Ghost Clan.

As the thought just flashed in Su Li’s eyes, she speeded up and followed the road sign to the first place she was guided to.

She did not have ten years to stay here, and her strength was not so weak as the dragon shadow had seen. Although the dragon shadow was an ancient creature, he was barely alive with a remnant of the residual soul. And with the covering effect of the All Spirits Tactics on Su Li, he could not make an accurate judgment.

Therefore, her progress in devouring the ghosts would be much faster than the dragon shadow had anticipated.

Bearing these thoughts in her mind, Su Li reached the first spot half a day later. Looking at the tightly sealed human souls, she fell silent for a moment and asked in a peace tone.

“Black Lotus, what are you still hiding from me?”
