The ghost gods of Yunmeng Marsh (1/3)

"We're about to take off, remember to hold on tight to me."

Li Jingshu glanced indifferently at the orderly and busy Ghost God, and then gave the instructions in a low voice as if it were commonplace.

"Okay, sure."

Having shaken off his previous mischievousness, Lu Huaijin was now behaving quite obediently.

After all, Li Jingshu could ignore the power of those Ghost God, but the young Lu Huaijin could not.

That innate, stronger intuition than others told Lu Huaijin.

Every Ghost God here can easily crush you to death; the process is no easier than crushing an ant.

Call!

Guided by a group of Sleepy Bug.

Li Jingshu skillfully navigated through the clouds and mist, quickly approaching Flying Peak in the very center of Yunmeng Marsh.

Compared to a few years ago, the rebuilt Flying Peak no longer has the Ghost God Cliff.

The cracks in the entire mountain have been filled with countless plants and vines, and only faint golden light can be seen seeping out from them.

The golden light appeared and disappeared like living things, wandering throughout the entire mountain.

Wherever there is a golden light, the Ghost God nearby will walk away with disgust, with only a very few exceptions.

"Awake again?"

He looked at the shimmering golden light with slight surprise.

Li Jingshu immediately understood why those Ghost God and spirits avoided her like the plague.

Li Boyang had told Li Jingshu a long time ago.

The God-Binding Cord possesses extremely powerful spirituality, in no way inferior to her Bronze Treasure Book.

Furthermore, after obtaining the God-Binding Cord, Li Boyang specifically used the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron to refine it.

The God-Binding Cord's ability to split into "necklaces" to imprison Ghost God and gods comes from Li Boyang's enhancement of it.

However, any Law Treasure refined by the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron will have its spirituality greatly enhanced.

This has directly resulted in the fact that the God-Binding Cord is now less of a treasure.

Rather, it is more accurate to describe it as a deity existing in the form of a "rope," specializing in the power of restriction and sealing.

"Yes, she's awake again."

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Human-Faced Spider, Xiao Gui, quietly flew out from the mist.

As usual, it landed on Li Jingshu's head, and Xiao Gui's face was filled with helplessness.

"And this time he threw a tantrum again, almost making the Grandmother Mountain God go berserk."

The God-Binding Cord is a relic left behind by the Witch of the Huai River, and in terms of seniority, it is even comparable to Xiluo.

Furthermore, since their spirituality is just beginning to awaken, their temperament is like that of a young child; to say they are fickle would be an understatement.

In fact, this is the real reason why those Ghost God and spirits avoid it like the plague.

"Why this time?"

It's clear they've gotten used to the God-Binding Cord occasionally throwing a tantrum.

Li Jingshu was now even more curious about what the other party was planning to do this time, and how they had managed to anger Xiluo, who also had a temper.

"I heard they wanted to try what the food tasted like."

"As a result, they lost control and almost overturned the Grandmother Mountain God's treasure trove."

Despite her efforts to understand the connection between the two, Li Jingshu ultimately chose to give up.

Whether it's how to taste food with a rope, or how Xiluo's treasure trove was overturned, it's all far beyond Li Jingshu's comprehension.

The only thing Li Jingshu was certain of was that she would try to avoid Xiluo when going up the mountain later—she didn't want to become an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

"By the way, why did you arrive so early today?"

"And he even brought this girl along?"

It pried open its eyes with its two front legs.

Xiao Gui turned her head with great curiosity to look at Lu Huaijin, who was being held in Li Jingshu's hand.

Noticing Xiao Gui's gaze, Lu Huaijin returned a very obedient smile.

Just like those Ghost God before,

Lu Huaijin sensed an aura emanating from this tiny spider that he absolutely could not afford to offend.

Lu Huaijin was born divine; her extraordinary soul endowed her with powerful spiritual perception.

So while other children were still practicing the "Breathing Method," Lu Huaijin had already begun practicing the "Perception Method."

To this day, although Lu Huaijin has not yet formally practiced the Breathing Method, he has already made some progress in the Perception Method.

With the two factors combined, Lu Huaijin could clearly sense the enormous Life Primordial Qi within Xiao Gui's body.

Accompanied by a breathing rhythm that Lu Huaijin couldn't understand at all.

That immense Life Primordial Qi flowed naturally and overflowed, subtly forming a Gang Qi around its body.

However, Xiao Gui's Gang Qi is different from Li Jingshu's Body-Protecting Gang Qi; it is mixed with a more subtle and difficult-to-understand operating logic.

[She doesn't seem like her complete self now?]

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Lu Huaijin's Heavenly Eye between his eyebrows opened involuntarily.

Then, Lu Huaijin saw a scene beyond his imagination.

She was an extremely alluring spider woman, with a human upper body and a spider lower body.

"Little girl, don't you know it's very impolite to stare at other people like that?"

Before Lu Huaijin could continue to observe carefully, Li Jingshu reached out and stopped her Heavenly Eye.

Faced with Li Jingshu's ridiculously abundant Life Primordial Qi, Lu Huaijin's Heavenly Eye was simply unable to perceive anything further.

Until Li Jingshu forcibly closed his Heavenly Eye.

Lu Huaijin was still reeling from the shocking moment he had just experienced.

"It's okay, he's just a kid!"

"Weren't you just as curious and prone to getting into trouble when you were little?"

Xiao Gui was not bothered by Lu Huaijin's offense at all; instead, she was even more surprised by the other party's talent.

"As expected of someone with Innate Divine Being, like a prophet." Before this eye, I felt as if I had no secrets at all.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to continue blaming Lu Huaijin or feel embarrassed that Xiao Gui had revealed her secrets.

"Ahem, her original Heavenly Eye didn't have this ability."

"However, she is indeed very talented in the practice of Perception Method, and she is now basically able to enter a stable state of deep meditation."

"Although there is still a long way to go before she can cultivate her Primordial Spirit," this greatly stimulated her potential, allowing her Heavenly Eye to undergo its first transformation.

Thanks to Li Boyang's tutelage, Li Jingshu's understanding of the Heavenly Eye far exceeded what outsiders could imagine.

"I see!"

With a gasp of amazement, Xiao Gui flew into Lu Huaijin's palm.

"This should be our first meeting, right?"

"At least for you, this should be the first time you've met me."

"I don't have much to give you, so consider this amulet a small gift!"

Xiao Gui slowly spat out a piece of crystal-clear silk thread, which was then strung into a "ghost-faced spider" and placed in Lu Huaijin's hand.

"With this little gadget, ordinary spiders will no longer dare to approach you easily."

"If you accidentally get poisoned, swallowing this will make you immune to all poisons for a short period of time."
