The sky was grey and as black as ink.
As far as the eye could see, there was no sunlight and it was unclear what day it was.
If the world of the Wheel of Samsara was blood red, then the ghost region was darkness.
No matter if it was day or night, winter or summer, the ghost region was always dark and cold. Just like the dark side of the human heart, it was hard to get rid of.
Ling Xian stood proudly on top of the mountain peak. His white robe and black hair danced in the wind.
Watching the bloody battle below, his eyes were deep and calm. He had no intention of making a move.
Because both sides had the intention to kill each other and steal their treasures. No matter who died, they deserved no sympathy.
Similar battles had happened before Ling Xian three times. This made him exclaim at how chaotic the ghost region was.
"I wonder who has the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara …" Ling Xian softly sighed, feeling troubled.
For one, the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara was hard to find. For two, even if it was found, it may not be acquired.
Ignoring how powerful the owner of the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara was, the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara was more powerful than a supreme weapon. Even Yu Wu Xiu's Heaven's Knife cannot defend against the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara.
"I hope the owner of the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara is a cultivator of the ninth level. If it is a supreme being, then it will be troublesome."
Ling Xian muttered to himself. A supreme being with the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara was undefeatable. Even those close to the Dao would have to think twice.
Just as he was mumbling to himself, the battle at the foot of the mountain had ended.
Both of them were heavily injured and on the verge of death.
Seeing this, Ling Xian landed. He wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation, he was trying to find a guide.
He knew nothing about the ghost region. If he didn't understand it, he wouldn't be able to find the Wheel of Human Path of Samsara.
Seeing Ling Xian land, the two of them panicked.
They were heavily injured and even moving was difficult. In the chaotic ghost region, it was normal to kill people and steal their treasures. Naturally, they were nervous.
"Friend, I am willing to give you my storage pouch. I only ask that you kill this person and spare my life."
The man in grey spoke. His body was skinny and he had a pointy mouth.
Hearing this, the man became even more scared and said in a hurry, "I am willing to give you my storage pouch as well. I only ask that you spare my life."
"I don't want your storage pouch. I just want you to answer a few questions. If I am satisfied, then I will let you go."
"If you are not satisfied, then I can only apologize."
Ling Xian spoke softly. These two were merely of the sixth level, how much wealth could they have?
He was rich enough to rival a country. Even the six giants of Ascension City could not compare to him. Naturally, he would not be interested in the storage bags of two sixth level cultivators.
"How many questions?" The grey-robed man was startled, wondering if he had misheard.
It was the same for the man.
In the chaotic Ghost Domain, people who didn't kick someone when they were down were as rare as the Nine Great Immortal Metals. Naturally, this surprised the two of them.
"You don't want to?" Ling Xian glared at the man in grey. There was no killer's intent, no ferociousness.
However, the grey-robed man shuddered, feeling as if he was being stared at by a peerless monster.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Yes, of course I'm willing."
"First question, what is the name of the strongest force in the Ghost Realm? How many are there?"
This was his first time in the Ghost Realm, so of course he had to find out what forces there were and what powerhouses there were.
"Three."
The grey-robed man answered without hesitation, "The Armory Valley, the Twelfth Floor, the Cicada Pavilion."
Hearing this, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards the man, "Do you have any objections to what he said?"
"No." The man shook his head. He wanted to use Ling Xian to kill the grey-robed man. Sadly, the man in grey was not lying.
"Second question, who is the strongest in the Ghost Realm?" Ling Xian's eyes were deep and his white robe was fluttering in the wind.
"I …" The grey-robed man paused, "There is no publicly acknowledged strongest. I only know that the leaders of the three forces are all Immortals."
"Third question, have any treasures appeared in the Ghost Realm recently?" Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back. The Disc of Human Path Reincarnation was a treasure. If there was any news about it, it would've spread throughout the entire Ghost Realm.
The grey-robed man thought about it and shook his head, "I haven't heard of any treasures appearing."
"Last question, if I want to find something, who should I go to?"
Ling Xian asked softly. The first three questions were not important, but the last one was the most important.
To find the Disc of Human Path Reincarnation by himself was without a doubt, a fool's dream. He had to rely on external help.
"Then it must be the Cicada Pavilion."
"The Armory Valley is known for its infinite amount of treasures. It is rumored that even Immortals can be made."
"The Twelfth Pavilion is known for its murderers. As long as the price is right, they dare to assassinate Immortals."
The grey-robed man smiled, "The Cicada Pavilion is known for its intelligence. They are known to know everything. If you want to find something, the Cicada Pavilion is the best choice."
"That's right. To say that the Cicada Pavilion knows everything is an exaggeration. But in a place like the Ghost Realm, there are very few things the Cicada Pavilion doesn't know." The man laughed.
"The Cicada Pavilion is in the intelligence business?"
Ling Xian faintly grinned. If the Cicada Pavilion was telling the truth, then there was hope to find the Disc of Human Path Reincarnation.
"That's right. The Armory Valley deals in treasures, the Twelfth Pavilion deals in assassinations, and the Cicada Pavilion deals in intelligence."
The grey-robed man continued, "However, the Cicada Pavilion doesn't trade intelligence for spiritual stones. They ask people to do something for them."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. The last thing he lacked was spiritual stones. Even if the Cicada Pavilion asked for an exorbitant price, he didn't care.
But when it came to doing something, it was full of uncertainty.
"Rumor has it that the Cicada Pavilion has all sorts of strange requests. If you are lucky, you can complete them easily."
The grey-robed man hesitated, "If you are unlucky, there is a risk of dying."
"No need to say more. Take me to the Cicada Pavilion."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. The Cicada Pavilion was the only force that could help him. No matter how strange their request was, he had to go check it out.
"Um, can I ask him to go with you?" The grey-robed man smiled. He didn't know what kind of powerhouse Ling Xian was, but he was certain that Ling Xian was much stronger than him.
It was far too dangerous to stay next to someone stronger than him.
"I want you to take me there. If you don't want to, then I will have to take you to another path."
Ling Xian glared at the grey-robed man. He wasn't purposely making things difficult for him. He just felt that this person was smart.
"Another path?" The grey-robed man shuddered. Combining the context, even an idiot would know that Ling Xian was referring to the Yellow Springs.
The man felt lucky that he didn't speak first. Or else he would be the one leading the way for Ling Xian.
"I'll count to three. If you don't make a decision, then I will make it for you."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. Before he even started counting, the grey-robed man had already made his decision.
"I am willing. To travel with you is my honor."
The grey-robed man's forehead was sweating. As if he felt that the word "honor" wasn't enough to make Ling Xian happy. He quickly changed his words, "No, it is the fortune I have accumulated over eight lifetimes."
"You sure know how to talk."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "If you lead the way for me, you will be rewarded."
Then, a miraculous medicine appeared and flew before the grey-robed man.
"This … this is for me?" The grey-robed man was excited. Though this was a regular miraculous medicine, it was still worth millions of spiritual stones.
With his wealth, it was hard for him not to be excited.
