Meanwhile, within the five-person group in Heavenly Court.

The Four Heavenly Kings, who had been silent for some time, were having a heated discussion about the Old Third's Core Formation.

"Holy crap, the Old Third actually formed his core! I never expected that! He's even ahead of me!" The Old Fourth, Wen Fan, the one who looked all respectable but was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was utterly bewildered.

"That's not scientific! When I Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the Old Third was only in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. How come he's faster than me?" Old Fifth Lu Chen.

"Did he just get incredibly lucky or did he see a ghost?"

"Yeah, he didn't mistype, did he? Is it really a high-quality Golden Core? Is he just hallucinating from forming his Golden Core? He's probably actually in the hospital's Divine Sense department right now." (Old Fourth Wen Fan)

"It's quite possible. The Old Third has always been eccentric and secretive; he might Qi Deviation."

"@Northern Heavenly King of Great Learning, Old Third, come out and say something! If you don't, we'll assume you failed to form your Golden Core and are dead!"

The behavior of the Old Fourth and Old Fifth perfectly illustrates what it means to both fear that one's brother is suffering and also fear that one's brother is driving a Land Rover.

"Actually, I've also reached the Core Formation stage, just like the Old Third —a high-quality Golden Core."

Hu Mang silently delivered the final blow.

The Old Fourth "vomited blood"

The Old Fifth "vomited blood"

The two of them sent a series of "vomiting blood" emojis that flooded the screen.

Even for top students like them, high-quality Golden Core is the ultimate goal they pursue.

The idea of Perfect Golden Core is an urban legend. If it weren't for Boss Gu as a living example, they wouldn't believe that any freak could achieve Golden Core Perfection.

"So there's a reason why you guys are Old Fourth and Old Fifth," Boss Gu rarely complained.

"@Giant Spirit God, how come you only achieved a high-quality Golden Core? I thought you would follow the path of Perfect Golden Core like me. You have the aptitude for it."

"My Core Formation is a bit short of completion; I'm considering trying again."

Hu Mang felt somewhat ashamed: Compared to you, what talent do I have? I cheated and I'm still far from reaching the Perfect Golden Core stage.

Fortunately, I can not only cheat, but I can also time travel.

The Old Fourth "vomited blood"

The Old Fifth "vomited blood"

The Old Fourth "vomited blood"

The Old Fifth "vomited blood"

These two are dominating the screen again with their "vomiting blood" antics.

Then the Old Third came online.

"Hahaha, now you know how the ranking of the Four Heavenly Kings came about? You still didn't accept that I Old Third? Now do you accept it or not?"

"Let me make this clear: I'm only the Old Third because I'm giving face to Boss Gu and Second Brother, not because I'm giving face to you two noobs."

"From now on, stop calling us 'brothers' all the time. From now on, the three of us Golden Core cultivators will be called 'Brother Three,' and you two Foundation Establishment will be called 'Brothers Two.' We're the three, and you two are the two of us. Do you understand?!"

"When we three reach the Nascent Soul, you two might still be at the Foundation Establishment; when we three reach the Spirit Transformation, you two might still be at the Foundation Establishment; when we three reach the Void Refinement stage, you two might still be at the Foundation Establishment. If you end up in a really miserable situation, just start a book online called 'A Few Things About Me and My Boss Brother.' I've given my authorization."

It's clear that the Old Third, who has just completed his Core Formation, is already so arrogant that he's completely out of control, oblivious to the changing seasons.

The Old Fourth "vomited blood"

The Old Fifth "vomited blood"

The Old Fourth "vomited blood"

The Old Fifth "vomited blood"

Offline, Wen Fan and Lu Chen were speechless and could only continue to vomit blood and dominate the screen.

"Oh, by the way, Old Third, is the Ten-Thousand-Year Yin Pearl I gave you any good? Will it help you form your core?" Hu Mang asked curiously.

"It works great! Thank you for your gift, Second Brother. With this, my Core Formation process went smoothly. Not only was my Ghost Transformation perfect, but it can also... cough cough, in short, it's perfect!"

"What Yin Pearl? Holy crap, you've only managed a fraction of it! So, Old Third, you're all about money! What's the difference between you and those second-generation immortals? I despise you! I despise you from beginning to end!" Lu Chen rarely swore.

"What kind of thing has a ten-thousand-year-old flame? Could Heavenly Gate possibly have such a treasure? Second Brother, Old Third Chen can be your lapdog, so can I. I guarantee I'll be even more satisfying than him. My wife used it and said it was great. Otherwise, how do you think I had a son and a daughter?" (Old Fourth)

"..."

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that you guys can't use this thing."

Hu Mang pondered for a moment, then briefly recounted what had happened to him after he set sail, mainly focusing on the eruption of the Dragon Blood Tide and the birth of the extraordinary treasure.

If it's not explained clearly, the Old Fourth and Old Fifth might think he went and dug up the Heavenly Gate Nature Reserve.

After learning about the overseas fortuitous opportunity of the Dragon Blood Tide, the Old Fourth and Old Fifth vomited even more violently.

What could they say when their second brother stumbled upon such a good thing?

Hu Mang pondered for a moment, then stopped chatting in the group and made a phone call. Soon, the Old Third, full of energy, answered the phone.

After the Old Third enthusiastically recounted his Pill Classic, Hu Mang finally asked the question he wanted to know.

"Old Third, I have a few questions for you about ghosts. You should know more about them than I do."

"Then you've come to the right person, Second Brother! Ask me anything, and I'll answer every question!"

"Do you know that there's a kind of ghost in Nanyang that can't be killed, called Jiangtou Ghost '..."

Hu Mang recounted all the styles, types, and formation methods of the Jiangtou Ghost he knew, especially their immortality.

Hu Mang had truly tried every method imaginable, including those from Buddhism, Daoism, and the demonic tradition, but he found that he still couldn't kill him.

Is it really necessary to rely on a higher level of understanding to deliver a devastating blow?

However, Chen Xiaosan on the other end of the phone became increasingly surprised. As a half-human, half-ghost, he had only just come into contact with "Mysterious Transformation," so how could it be that his second brother seemed to have already seen a bunch of Mysterious Transformation creatures?

Are there many of these overseas?

Second brother, do you know about "The Hundred Mysteries Night Parade"?

"Night Parade of a Hundred Demons? I just saw that."

"What about the Mysterious Transformation?"

"Ghost Transformation? What ghost? What does it mean to transform into?"

It took Chen Xiaosan a considerable amount of effort to explain the difference between "Ghost Transformation" and "Mysterious Transformation" to Hu Mang.

Fortunately, Hu Mang was an advisor to the Underworld Bureau; otherwise, such information would have been strictly kept secret.

Fortunately, the Hu Mang wasn't an outsider.

"... So you mean that every member of the Underworld Bureau, if they form a golden core as a ghost, has a chance of coming into contact with 'Mysterious Transformation,' and in the state of Mysterious Transformation, they are immortal and indestructible?"

That's roughly the gist of it.

"Similar to the completion of the Golden Core stage?"

"Uh, it should be more common than the Perfect Core Formation, but not that common. According to my superior, Great Judge Zhong, maybe only one out of dozens of deliverymen can awaken it. Because I am half-human and half-ghost, my chances of awakening are naturally higher than others. In addition, you gave me the Ten-Thousand-Year Yin Pearl, which contains a trace of innate Ghost Qi, so I awakened without any obstacles."

"What are the benefits of awakening?" Hu Mang asked.

The Old Third then briefly explained the possibility of transferring to another department, or even joining "The Hundred Mysteries Night Parade".

"So, the Underworld Bureau its members who possess the ability to 'Mysterious Transformation' quite a bit? Is it only members of the Underworld Bureau who can 'Mysterious Transformation'?" Hu Mang asked curiously.

"According to the information I received, only members of the Underworld Bureau should be able to Mysterious Transformation. How come it seems like there are Mysterious Transformation everywhere on my second brother's side?"

The Old Third was very puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he revealed a piece of information, or rather, a guess, that only members of the Underworld Bureau knew.

"Second Brother, I've heard people say that this is a state called 'Mysterious Transformation,' which can only be evolved by ghosts that have come into contact with the Dragon Vein. This is the real reason why only we members of the Underworld Bureau can awaken it."

"??"

Is this condition also related to the Dragon Vein?

That's why the Ghost Dragon Vein is eating so heartily?

"Then why would the Jiangtou Ghost in Nanyang also... wait, the 'Mysterious Transformation' you mentioned should all be complete 'physical Mysterious Transformation,' right?"

"That's natural. According to the teachings of cultivation in the Yang World, 'Mysterious Transformation' is equivalent to temporarily breaking through a major realm, so there's no situation where the brain and Dantian break through while the hands and feet don't. Wait a minute!"

The Old Third also realized that, according to his second brother, these Jiangtou Ghost in Nanyang all "Mysterious Transformation" the part of their heads that they Jiangtou, while the other parts were just ordinary ghosts.

So they are difficult to kill, but not particularly difficult to deal with.

At least if you can't beat them, you can run away, and you can also use methods to break the Jiangtou Ghost Jiangtou.

"... So, Second Brother, you mean that the 'Mysterious Transformation' of these Nanyang ghosts is more like a partial Mysterious Transformation, like a jigsaw puzzle?"

"That's right."

"This is interesting," the Old Third said, also becoming interested.

This doesn't seem to be achieved through spiritual practice, but rather through a kind of "man-made Mysterious Transformation"?

There's a feeling that we're kindred spirits, yet not quite.

"Second Brother."

"Um."

"After I reach the Golden Core stage, I get a Golden Core vacation."

"So?" Hu Mang understood what the other party meant.

So, I'm just dropping by your place for a bit?

"... That works too."

Hu Mang didn't mind revealing his identity, after all, these guys actually knew a little about his identity as "Heavenly Blood Python".

"By the way, speaking of Dragon Vein, is the Ghost Subway still on time these days...?"

After a long pause, Hu Mang hung up the phone and fell into thought.

The Old Third, on the other hand, didn't hide anything.

Or rather, in his mind, he had ridden the Ghost Subway countless times, so there was nothing to keep secret.

Therefore, Hu Mang easily obtained the information he wanted to know.

The Ghost Subway, or rather, the Ghost Dragon Vein of the Underworld Bureau, is stable for two reasons. The first is that each station is a "Yin-Yang Node," and these man-made Yin-Yang Node control the evolution of the Ghost Dragon Vein.

This was the first time Hu Mang had ever heard of the Underworld Bureau developing "Artificial Yin-Yang Node" technology.

Another reason is that every Ghost Subway has a driver.

The driver's skill seems to allow him to temporarily control the consciousness of the Ghost Dragon Vein.

The dark red lights that Hu Mang saw when the Ghost Subway was running were not actually an evolution of the Ghost Dragon Vein itself, but a special change when the driver evolved ghostly Divine Ability.

Upon hearing this, Hu Mang suddenly realized that he was not without the ability to control the "Dragon Vein."

Moreover, the artificial Yin-Yang Node can buffer the turmoil of the Ghost Dragon Vein, and there seems to be something in Zheng Family Garden that can achieve the same effect.
