Righteous Radiance, Yuchen Melts Away (Part Two)

Before the altar, Su Che cleared his mind and merged his spirit with the world around him.

The power of the Yin Mountain Nether-Cavern Treasure Register turned into countless fine threads, linking every ghost in the area to the others.

At that moment, Su Che felt as though the countless ghosts here were no different from himself.

Each had been "enlightened" by his power. In origin, they were all phantoms shaped from it, yet every one of them was utterly real.

Their reality lay not only in their appearance: the incantations on an old man's face, the anguish in a ghost mother's eyes, the savagery and violence at the corners of a bull-headed demon's mouth...

It lay even more in how they "interacted" with this world.

The evil ghosts before him did not merely seethe with ghostly energy. They could also use Su Che's power to change themselves.

The ghostfire one old man toyed with, for instance, revealed traces of the Ninth Nether Soul-Burning Yinflame on closer inspection. The ghost mother's anguished chanting echoed certain soul-shaking arts in the Secret Register of the Yin Heaven of Zhoujue, while the bull-headed demon embodied certain subtleties of the Great Awe Virtue Wisdom King's Outer Dao cultivation methods.

Even in the surrounding yin energy Su Che had awakened through his divine powers, he could faintly make out the shadows of the Two-Headed Ghost General and eight hundred soldier souls.

Su Che could not immediately fathom why these changes had occurred. Perhaps it was because the foundation governing the array's operation was the Yin Mountain Nether-Cavern Treasure Register he had painstakingly cultivated.

The array therefore bore Su Che's mark deep within it.

More wondrous still, Su Che could feel the depths of the earth, even every brick and tile of Shanyin County, answering him.
