Afterward, Ling Pengyun headed to the Ancient Ghost Domain in the Heaven River Realm.
After so many years, the place had changed dramatically, as the Ghost Immortal Lamp had continually directed the Lineage's spirit ghosts to manage it.
Several hundred years earlier, when the Azure Profound Lineage had first occupied this place, it had too few spirit ghosts under its command to properly manage all the ghost veins here.
As a result, relatively few spirit ghosts had been stationed at each ghost vein.
Some had only one or two, and in some cases, a single spirit ghost had watched over one or two ghost veins at once.
Had the Azure Profound Lineage not been so powerful at the time, those spirit ghosts alone would never have been enough to intimidate all quarters and hold this territory.
Fortunately, as time passed, the Ling Clan's Ghost Immortal Lamp—a ghost treasure adept at nurturing spirit ghosts—had reached fifth grade peak thanks to an opportunity in its early years.
Its ability to nurture spirit ghosts had strengthened accordingly.
On top of that, it had the support of the Azure Profound Lineage and the steady stream of proceeds from the Ancient Ghost Domain.
Over the years, it had nurtured countless spirit ghosts in succession, including quite a few Ghost Path Spirit Planters.
As an indirect result, the Ancient Ghost Domain had become considerably livelier.
Almost every ghost vein had at least two or three spirit ghosts stationed there, and some higher-grade ghost veins even had Ghost Path Spirit Planters assigned to them.
