The woman in Wang Baole's memories was very pretty and good-looking. The only flaw was that she was too skinny … so skinny that she looked like she would fall over if a gust of wind blew at her.
This thinness also caused her body's resistance to be weak. In that strange will, Wang Baole vaguely remembered that the woman seemed to have died because of this in her next life after she was reincarnated.
Therefore, Wang Baole felt that he should help this deceased soul when he was painting Corpse Faces. He simply added a few more strokes based on the appearance in his memories … When he finally finished painting, he looked at the round deceased soul in the mirror and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Then, he waved his hand, and this deceased soul disappeared in a daze. Another deceased soul took its place …
Just like that, Wang Baole began his painting career in the Dark Sect. Every day, he would paint Corpse Faces. He would paint at least ten thousand Corpse Faces, and at most forty to fifty thousand Corpse Faces. In the beginning, he was still very inexperienced and wasn't very familiar with it. But gradually, he became more and more adept at it. His use of Corpse Faces improved by leaps and bounds, reaching an astonishing level.
He didn't even need to look at the mirror on a daily basis. He could raise his hand and paint in front of his face. This method was also astonishingly effective when used against enemies.
Just like that, time passed. Half a month had passed since Wang Baole returned to the Dark Sect. During this half a month, other than painting Corpse Faces, the person he saw the most every day was that senior brother with freckles on his face.
When he found out that Wang Baole had a dream when he was ferrying souls with his master, and that his memories were a little chaotic after he woke up, this senior brother named Chen Qing sympathized with Wang Baole and helped him organize his memories. During this half a month, Wang Baole's blurry memories slowly became much clearer.
His memories before he entered the Dark Sect were very blurry, but his memories of the Dark Sect gradually became clearer. He knew that not only was he Ming Kunzi's disciple, but he also knew that he had more than a hundred senior brothers …
These people were all Ming Kunzi's disciples, and their ages varied. The oldest had already cultivated for more than half an era and had taken in many disciples. Wang Baole was the youngest disciple. However, although he was young and had entered the sect late, his seniority was extremely high.
As a result, most of the disciples in the sect would address him as Grand-Uncle-Master whenever they saw him. That made Wang Baole feel extremely comfortable. At the same time, it strengthened his resolve to become the Dark Sect's Sect Lord!
He felt that this was the most suitable path for him. As for becoming the President of the Federation, that was something that had happened in his dream. Although he recalled it now, he still felt that it was a pity that he had woken up a little too early. Otherwise, he felt that he would definitely have become the President of the Federation in his dream.
At the same time, as his memories of the Dark Sect became clearer, he also understood the Dark Sect's position in this galaxy. It could be said that the Dark Sect controlled reincarnation and death in this galaxy. All the dead were under their control. To a certain extent, the Dark Sect was the overlord of death behind the countless civilizations and sects in this galaxy!
This could be seen from the name of this galaxy. This galaxy was called … the Dark Universe!
The universe of the Dark Sect!
The galaxy that Wang Baole was in was only a part of the Dark Sect. The Dark Sect had a total of nine galaxies scattered throughout the vast galaxy. Every galaxy was controlled by a grand elder, and this was Ming Kunzi's territory!
In addition, although the Dark Sect was strong, they were not without opponents. Their opponent … was a large number of powerful cultivators and civilizations. Because they were unwilling to die, they banded together to form … the Never-Ending Clan!
The reason they were called the Never-Ending Clan was because the word "Never-Ending" meant that there was no end and no end. This implied that they wanted to exist for eternity and never truly die. Even if they fell, they wanted to be reborn according to their own wishes. They did not want to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn with all traces of their previous lives wiped away!
The two sides were like life and death. In this galaxy, there were many conflicts. However, they were all limited to a certain scale. There was no large-scale war, and a certain balance was reached. This was because compared to the Dark Sect, the Never-Ending Clan did not have full confidence.
Furthermore, the Dark Sect did not have any ambitions. The Dark Sect's mission was to ferry the dead and walk on behalf of the Heavenly Dao!
Therefore, they did not take the initiative to attack. After all, balance was also a part of the Heavenly Dao!
Everything was unfamiliar, but Wang Baole felt that these memories were familiar. As they appeared clearly in his mind, he finally had a brief understanding of the Dark Sect and the galaxy.
At the same time, he also knew what the stone tablet that was being built by the large number of giant beasts and cultivators on this planet was …
"This is the Dark Child Tablet!" Wang Baole's senior brother, the young man with freckles on his face, looked at the stone tablet in the distance as he spoke to Wang Baole. When he said this, there was a hint of pride in his expression. Deep in the depths of his eyes, there was even a hint of fanaticism.
"Dark Child. This is a form of identity, and also a symbol!
"Only by becoming a Dark Child will you have the right to go out alone and ferry the dead … And to become a Dark Child, there are two ways. The first is to become a Dark Child, like you and I, become disciples of the nine Grand Elders. Then, in terms of identity, you will already be a Dark Child!
"But that is only in terms of identity … It can't be done for real. In fact, if you want to become a true Dark Child, there is only one way, and that is … to carve your name on this Dark Child Tablet!
"You don't have to carve it yourself. Only the Grand Elders have the right to carve it. Moreover, whether or not your name can remain on the tablet after carving it is also crucial. This involves the approval of the Heavenly Dao!
"Baole, if the Heavenly Dao approves of you, then your name can be carved. If the Heavenly Dao doesn't approve of you, then after our master carves it, it will be erased by the Dark Child Tablet!
"And my name … will be carved by our master when this Dark Child Tablet is completed. I believe that the Heavenly Dao will approve of me. So, Baole, you have to work hard!" Chen Qing's eyes shone brightly. At this moment, he no longer seemed to be the young man who had been drawing Corpse Faces with Wang Baole. Among Ming Kunzi's many disciples, even if his cultivation wasn't the highest, his potential was unparalleled!
Based on the memories that Wang Baole had recovered, his potential was so strong that it seemed to have reached an extremely heaven-defying level. He was even praised by the other Grand Elders of the Dark Sect as someone who could break through the limits. Perhaps in a few years, there would be a tenth Grand Elder!
Even now, his cultivation was incomparably strong. In Wang Baole's memories, the Dark Sect divided cultivation into five major realms: the Spirit Immortal Realm, the Planet Grade, the Star Grade, the Celestial Domain Grade, and the Universe Grade!
Each major realm was further divided into several smaller realms. For example, the Spirit Immortal Realm was the first major realm of cultivation. It was divided into Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Yuanying, Spirit Conduit, and finally, Spirit Immortal Realm!
The Planet Grade, the Star Grade, and the Celestial Domain Grade were the same. Only the Universe Grade was mysterious and unfathomable. Until now, only the ninth Grand Elder had stepped into the Universe Grade!
As for the other Grand Elders, they were all at the peak of the Celestial Domain Grade. However, it was really too difficult for them to take that step.
As for Chen Qing, he wasn't even 300 years old, but his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Half a year ago, he had broken through the last minor realm of the Planet Grade and stepped into the first major realm of the Star Grade!
With such aptitude, he was fully deserving of being hailed as a peerless genius!
Wang Baole sighed inwardly as he looked at his dazzling Senior Brother. He felt a lot of pressure. As his memories surfaced, he realized that each of his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters was more abnormal than the last. The strongest one was already at the Celestial Domain Grade.
The weakest one was at the Planet Grade … Only he was at the Spirit Immortal Realm. He hadn't even reached the Core Formation Realm …
While Wang Baole was sighing inwardly, Chen Qing, who was bursting with lofty aspirations, suddenly recalled something. Thus, after looking around, he immediately lowered his head and hugged Wang Baole's shoulders with a mysterious look on his face.
"Baole, do you know whose soul I encountered when I was painting the corpse face yesterday?"
Wang Baole rolled his eyes as he looked at his Senior Brother, who was pretending to be mysterious but actually had a lewd expression on his face.
"Senior Brother, I've recovered quite a bit of my memories. You don't have to scare me …"
"When the living die, unless it's a large-scale death like the shattering of a star, there's no need for the Underworld Sect to personally ferry them. The Laws of the Heavenly Dao will guide them over and send them to the nearest Underworld Sect's Samsara Abyss. Then, they'll appear in our Corpse Face Mirror, and we'll draw their faces from their past lives …"
"When we're painting the corpse face, the Heavenly Dao will descend and allow us to know what the deceased soul's next life will look like. However, it's impossible to know the soul's previous life, let alone what it looked like in its previous life. Therefore, no matter who you encounter, you won't recognize them!"
Chen Qing's eyes widened as he looked around. Then, he leaned closer to Wang Baole and whispered, "Of course, I know how to tell the truth.
"Of course I know that I can't see the past lives of departed souls, but I can see their next lives! Yesterday … I met a departed soul, and I saw that her next life was my beloved!! She will accompany me, and we will love each other for life until eternity. Moreover, we have three children … "
"Thus, I was so excited that I used 120% of my skills to paint her extremely beautiful. Whether it was her figure or her appearance, it was completely in line with my aesthetic standards!" At this point, Chen Qing smiled smugly, his face full of anticipation.
"You can do that?!" Wang Baole was stunned and somewhat incredulous.
