I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"........."

Gulisuruhe was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant and said, "I'm perfectly fine, how did I become a ghost?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Jiang He pointed at Gulisu Ruhe's back and sneered, "People have shadows, but you don't?"

“I really…”

Gulisu Ruhe took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and tried to make her tone calm and gentle, saying, "It's so dark here, there's no shadow."

amount……

That seems reasonable.

Jiang He remained wary, saying, "I still don't believe it unless you let me verify it."

Gulisuruhe: "How do we verify it?"

Jiang He said in a serious tone, "I have talked with Xu Rulai. He said that the ghost race are spiritual beings. Unless they cultivate to the point of being derived from flesh and blood, they have no body temperature... You can just let me touch them and I will be able to confirm it."

Gulisuruhe: "..."

She possessed the distinctive features of people from Western Xinjiang; her jewel-like eyes stared at the river for several seconds before she reached out her hand.

The meaning is obvious.

Touch my hand, and you'll know whether I'm a human or a ghost!

Jiang He took two steps forward and cautiously extended his hand...

Whoosh!
With lightning speed, his hand instantly landed on Gulisu Ruhe's chest.

Ok.

It feels very good.

I could barely manage to hold it with one hand!
Before Jiang He could even fully experience it, Gulisu Ruhe cried out in surprise and swung her hand, unleashing a claw attack towards Jiang He's face... This was probably an instinctive reaction of hers.

The sound of a strong wind rang in my ears.

Jiang He raised his left hand and grabbed Gulisu Ruhe's wrist, saying, "The feel is fine, so it seems you're definitely not a ghost."

nonsense!

How could I be a ghost?
Gulisu's forehead veins bulged as she gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you going to take your pig's trotters off me?"

Jiang He released his grip and explained, "I'm physically stronger, I was just worried you might break your fingers."

Gulisuru was speechless, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and she spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "The other hand I was talking about!"

Jiang He: "..."

He reluctantly withdrew his right hand and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, there's a lot of talk outside saying that you survived the fall off the cliff and even got a great opportunity. Why didn't you go into seclusion to cultivate, but instead came here?"

Gulisu took a deep breath.

Her heaving chest suggested she was angry.

However, considering Jiang He's "mental" issues, Gulisu Ruhe could only comfort herself in her heart and said, "How can secluded cultivation compare to a great opportunity for improvement?"

“You entered the [White Horse Mystic Light Heaven] and received the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse. Your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving us far behind.”

"Even that pretty boy Duanmu Feng has encountered a great opportunity in the West District. It is said that he was taught by a [Sacred Corpse] and also obtained a Sacred Source. He will definitely make rapid progress in the future and will probably be able to cultivate to the Celestial Human, Celestial Phenomenon, or even Fish Dragon Realm soon!"

After a conversation.

Jiang He learned that in the past few days, a number of young martial artists and extraordinary awakened individuals had been sent to the West District.

Even clouds and dust are included.

Jiang He asked in confusion, "Where did the others go? And... how did you end up like this?"

"I've only met Li Wanqing once since I came in. The others must be searching for their own opportunities in various parts of the city."

Gulisuru paused for a moment, then said, "This West District... is not only full of opportunities, but also dangers. I encountered a puppet soldier at the Celestial Realm."

"I see."

Jiang He took out a set of white sportswear from his storage space and handed it to Gulisu Ruhe, saying, "Change your clothes first, look, your breasts are all exposed!"

"!!!"

Gulisu gritted her teeth in anger, took a deep breath, took the clothes, and walked into the room.

I don't argue with lunatics!
A short while later, Gulisu Ruhe changed her clothes.

Jiang He's clothes looked a bit loose on her. Perhaps because it was the first time she had worn men's clothes, Gulisu Ruhe seemed a little uncomfortable and said, "I'll pay you back for the clothes after we leave."

"It's just an outfit, why be so formal?"

Jiang He said, "If the clothes aren't torn, just wash them and give them to me... By the way, could you tell me in detail how to find opportunities here?"

Gulisu shook her head and said, "I've only been in the West District for a day. Not long after I came in, I was targeted by that puppet. I just shook off that guy and then I ran into you."

Jiang He asked in surprise, "You were chased by that puppet for a whole day?"

"........."

wipe!
Just so you know.

Why bother saying something so shameful?
Gulisu took out a battle sword and said, "However, I found a weapon in that room. Judging from the array patterns on it, it should have been a Dao weapon. Unfortunately, it is now damaged, and most of the array patterns have been destroyed."

"Oh?"

Jiang He's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then let's search a few more rooms."

The entire West District is filled with buildings.

If we could really find treasure in the room, wouldn't we be rich?
He walked straight toward a house on the side of the street. Gulisu Ruhe advised, "Jiang He... be careful. I found that puppet after I opened a door. There might be even greater dangers lurking in these rooms."

"It doesn't matter.

Jiang He laughed and said, "A mere puppet at the Celestial Realm level can't do anything to me."

He randomly picked a room.

Reach out and push.

The door remained completely still.

Even with a little force, the door still wouldn't open.

Jiang He turned to look at Gulisuruhe, who said, "Most of these houses have doors that open easily with a push, without any restrictions. There are no treasures in these rooms. I previously discovered that the doors of the Dao soldiers and puppets also had restrictions."

"Oh?"

Jiang He clenched his fist and circulated his qi and blood. The physical power of 700 dragon strength burst forth instantly, and he threw a punch.

boom!
The door was blasted open, and Jiang He strode inside.

Gulisu followed behind, shrinking her neck and muttering, "Jiang He... why is this room so cold? It feels like there's a cold wind blowing."

"is it?"

Jiang He took a moment to feel it and said, "Why don't I feel cold?"

There was indeed a breeze blowing in the room, but... he didn't feel the cold.

no way.

His physical body was too strong, his blood and qi were abundant, and his body was like a furnace. Ordinary cold and heat could not affect him.
Gulisu Ruhe was a little scared and shrank behind Jiang He, saying, "There really is... The wind blowing is chilly, like the legendary eerie wind... Jiang He, do you think there's a ghost in this room?"

ghost?
Jiang He swallowed hard and said, "Don't try to scare me... I, Jiang, fear neither heaven nor earth, so why would I be afraid of a... wait? There's a skeleton in the corner?"

Gulisu followed Jiang He's gaze.

as predicted.

There was a mummified corpse in the corner of the room.

The mummified corpse sat against the corner of the wall, its clothes rotted into shreds, and a sword was stuck in its chest, clearly indicating that it had been killed by a single blow.

"This is Tianmen Pass, a holy city built by the sages of the Great Xia Dynasty... After Minister Qin took charge of Tianmen Pass, even a half-saint could not break through. Back then, the Great Xia Dynasty must have been full of powerful figures. Under such circumstances, how could anyone still break through Tianmen Pass and kill people?"

Jiang He was puzzled.

He stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the corpse, and said, "Senior... I'm sorry."

talking.

He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, then slowly pulled it out.

The sword had been stuck in the corpse for countless years, yet there was not a trace of rust on its blade. The blade was crimson with patterns of burning flames, exuding a scorching heat, and its edge revealed a sharp and murderous aura.

He examined it and exclaimed in surprise, "What a fine sword... This sword must be a top-grade Dao weapon, and it is completely undamaged."

talking.

Looking at Gulisuruhe, she said, "I remember you are skilled in swordsmanship. This sword seems to be made of a fire-attribute treasure, which is very suitable for one of my brothers. So it's mine... What is it?"

He didn't finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the room.

Buzz buzz!

As the air trembled, a figure floated above the mummified corpse!
Jiang He and Gulisu exchanged a glance.

Immediately...

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

"Ghost!!!"

The two opened their mouths simultaneously and let out a piercing scream, then instantly embraced each other.

The figure floating in the air smiled upon seeing this and shook its head, saying, "Young people, you don't need to be afraid... I am not a ghost."

"Not a ghost?"

Jiang He and Gulisu quickly released each other, straightened their clothes, and pretended to be nonchalant. Jiang He looked at the figure and smiled, "Senior is joking. I'm not afraid. I was just joking with my friend."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Gulisuru nodded repeatedly: "I was just joking with you."

Jiang He then asked, "If you're not a ghost, then what are you?"

The figure said, "I am a remnant soul. If you call me a ghost... well, you could say that."

"........."

Jiang He's heart clenched.

Hey!
Then you say you're not!

The figure ignored Jiang He and sighed, "I am long dead, but a wisp of my soul has lingered in my own bones for over 2000 years. Now I am like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment. Young people... can you tell me what dynasty we live in now?"

"Does our Great Xia still exist?"

Jiang He was about to speak, but then looked at Gulisu Ruhe and said, "You should speak."

Gulisu Ruhe recounted the history of the Great Xia Dynasty over the past 2000 years, recounting the hardships during the Great Xia Wars and the difficulties of the past thirty years after the revival of spiritual energy.

"And Tianmen Pass..."

"With the support of Tianmen Pass, we have now established a firm foothold in Kunlun Ruins and the Eastern Region of Kunlun Realm. The martial arts of our Great Xia are now flourishing, and we are sure that even more powerful figures will emerge in the future!"

"The Great Xia Dynasty is still here...it's good that it's still here."

The figure laughed and said, "This shows that my comrades and I did not sacrifice in vain back then... It's just a pity that we were unable to defend the Kunlun Realm."

His form was illusory to begin with.

After saying these words, he became even more agitated.

Sudden.

He transformed into a streak of fire and shot into Gulisuruhe's brow. Gulisuruhe trembled, then sat cross-legged, a mysterious aura rising around her.

"This is……"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "You received the power transferred from the remnant soul of an ancient powerhouse?"

Damn it!
Why did the ancient powerhouses choose to pass on their skills to Gulisu Ruhe instead of passing them on to themselves?

of course.

Jiang He only made a few complaints.

This "sage" doesn't even look like a half-saint, so the techniques he passed down must be just so-so.

at this time……

hum!
Sudden.

The ground trembled.

Do not!
Not only the ground, but the entire West District, or rather the entire "Tianmen Pass", trembled. Jiang He rushed out of the room and looked up into the distance, only to see a thick beam of holy light shooting into the sky from the dimly lit city ahead!

Bathed in the holy light, Jiang He could vaguely make out what appeared to be a tall white jade tower standing amidst the city. (End of Chapter)
