"Recently, the inter-realm passages of the Six Realms have reopened once again."
"The Second Elder of the Fallen Soul Sect, Yue Ziwei, has secretly captured many people."
"Immortals, demons, yokai, ghosts—every kind."
"Although the matter was handled with great secrecy, it was still discovered by Zheng Ya."
"The biggest loophole among them is Luo Jiange!"
"That’s right—Zhou Cong’s uncle, the blackhearted mine owner who once tricked Ye Yu into the mines."
"He is also one of Yue Ziwei’s men. Every two or three months, he delivers a ghost."
"Zheng Ya observed that the ghosts delivered were not highly cultivated, but their fate was extremely special—they were all Heavenly Souls."
"People often speak of the three souls and seven spirits, but very few truly know which three souls and which seven spirits they are referring to."
"The three souls are the Heavenly Soul, the Earth Soul, and the Human Soul."
"As for the seven spirits, they are Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Shade, Devouring Thief, Non-Toxin, Dispeller of Filth, and Stinking Lung."
"Ghosts may be dead beings, but their souls remain."
"Most possess the Human Soul. Heavenly Souls, however, are exceedingly rare."
"Calling them one in a million would not be an exaggeration."
"Luo Jiange’s act of delivering Heavenly Soul ghosts made Zheng Ya extremely curious."
"What exactly was the purpose?"
"In any case, she had spent long ages in the Underworld and was well-versed in many matters."
"Whether Human Soul or Heavenly Soul, the difference was not significant, and the speed of entering cultivation would not change in the slightest."
"Otherwise, Heavenly Souls would long ago have been enshrined in worship. How could they have been captured by someone like Luo Jiange?"
"But if that were the case, what exactly was he doing?"
"Zheng Ya knew clearly that within the entire Fallen Soul Sect, Yue Ziwei was Nie Chu’s most trusted confidant."
"If he was doing this, it was very likely related to Nie Chu."
"So after much deliberation, Zheng Ya began tracking Yue Ziwei, wanting to uncover the truth behind the kidnappings."
"But the Second Elder was extremely vigilant, and his strength was not weak. Tracking him proved extraordinarily difficult."
"And even if she managed to follow him, she might not learn what he and Nie Chu were actually discussing."
"So Zheng Ya shifted her focus to Yue Ziwei’s most cherished Dao companion, Xiao Rou."
"Xiao Rou’s strength was low. Zheng Ya subdued her without effort."
"She had intended to have Xiao Rou tamper with Yue Ziwei’s ritual robe."
"But unexpectedly, while searching her memories, she learned everything."
"It had to be said—Yue Ziwei truly doted on Xiao Rou. He told her everything."
"That included the Heaven-Defying Three Souls and Seven Spirits."
"As Zheng Ya had previously suspected, the widespread kidnappings were indeed related to Nie Chu."
"As everyone knows, Nie Chu’s greatest dream is to Shatter the Void and enter the God Realm."
"But in truth, his ambition goes far beyond that."
"Entering the God Realm is only the beginning. What Nie Chu wants is to ascend in the most powerful state possible."
"And the Heaven-Defying Three Souls and Seven Spirits represent the ultimate limit of a Ghost Immortal."
"Humans are the spirits of heaven and earth!"
"This is beyond dispute."
"The reason is very simple—humans possess three souls and seven spirits!"
"This grants them an unparalleled advantage!"
"The Heaven-Defying Three Souls and Seven Spirits exist to elevate a ghostly body to a state akin to humans, spirits of heaven and earth."
"Nie Chu’s plan is that in the late stage of the Ghost Emperor Realm, when he is about to Shatter the Void and ascend to the God Realm, he will extract the two souls and seven spirits from nine people and integrate them all into himself."
"To enter the God Realm in the most perfect state!"
"For years, Yue Ziwei has been selecting suitable candidates for Nie Chu."
"In truth, although it is said that nine people are required, in practice eight are sufficient."
"Specifically, the Heavenly Soul and the seven spirits."
"Nie Chu already possesses the Earth Soul and does not need another. As for the Human Soul?"
"He already has the most suitable target."
"Nie Chu’s Dao companion, Zheng Ya. The power of her Human Soul is exceptionally strong—taking it would be most appropriate."
"In other words, when Nie Chu Shatters the Void, nine people will be sacrificed."
"One of them will be Zheng Ya."
"Zheng Ya is not afraid of death, but she refuses to serve Nie Chu like an ox or horse for so many years, only to elevate him with her death at the very end."
"That is something Zheng Ya absolutely cannot accept."
"So she placed her hope on Ye Yu."
"She wanted this existence who once nearly ascended to the God Realm to help her eliminate Nie Chu."
After hearing this account,
Ye Yu looked at Zheng Ya as if she were a fool.
"Are you sure you haven’t suffered cultivation deviation? You want someone at the Unity Realm to kill someone at the Ghost Emperor Realm? Wake up before you speak to me!"
Deep down, Ye Yu truly did not want to involve himself in their mess.
That was the Ghost Emperor Realm!
It represented the strongest combat power in the Lower Five Realms.
To wrestle with such an existence now—how was that any different from seeking death?
Zheng Ya did not seem surprised by Ye Yu’s reaction.
Or rather, she had long been mentally prepared.
Her expression remained calm as she knelt before Ye Yu.
"Senior, I beg you to help me. I know you like helping others fulfill their dreams. So please help me as well. In return, I will use every ounce of my power to help you find suitable candidates, allowing you to complete your dream with ease."
"Besides, killing Nie Chu does not necessarily require direct confrontation. Other methods will suffice."
"As long as he dies."
Upon hearing this, the calm in Ye Yu’s heart began to stir.
Zheng Ya’s repayment—was it to act as a dream agent?
If Nie Chu died, she would have no problem taking control of the Fallen Soul Sect.
Nearly one hundred thousand members across the entire Ghost Sect—that was an enormous base.
Selecting suitable candidates from them to fulfill dreams would be absurdly easy.
Tsk, tsk.
Zheng Ya was indeed clever.
She knew exactly how to prescribe the right medicine for the illness.
For his current self, this was undeniably tempting.
Moreover, Zheng Ya’s words had awakened him.
To kill Nie Chu, there were many methods.
For instance, he could seek external assistance—have one of the wives from the Celestial World descend and casually eliminate him.
Or he could have Zheng Ya begin finding suitable candidates now to fulfill dreams, rapidly increasing his strength.
As long as the numbers kept up, before long he might very well possess the strength to contend with the Emperor Realm.
Hmm.
Put that way, killing Nie Chu was not entirely impossible.
Wait.
Right.
Ye Yu suddenly thought of a very serious issue and said in a low voice,
"With the Subjugation Ghost Pill in place, once Nie Chu dies, you won’t survive either. How will you fulfill your repayment then?"
A smile immediately appeared on Zheng Ya’s face.
"Over these years, I have already found the antidote to the Subjugation Ghost Pill. When we kill Nie Chu, I will take it. And thank you, Senior, for being willing to help me."
Ye Yu slightly raised his brow.
"You knew I would help you?"
Zheng Ya shook her head.
"I wasn’t certain before. But now, Senior seems to have already made up his mind to help me."
Ye Yu said nothing more and began gazing into the distance.
Meanwhile, within the Fallen Soul Sect, Nie Chu, through a secret technique, could clearly see the entire conversation between Ye Yu and Zheng Ya.
