After more than thirty thousand years of evolution, this region had expanded to over a thousand times its original size.
Now, the number of Ghost Cultivators living here had surpassed a hundred million.
Among them, more than a thousand had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, a hundred thousand had reached the Core Formation Realm, and a full ten million had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Of course, reality was not that simple.
Only a relatively small proportion of high-level believers could successfully become ghost cultivators after death.

Any army of ten thousand could probably wipe out great swaths of Ghost
