The principles of soul possession are not complicated.

There's no need to modify Gao, even the Manor Master Embers entering the mind has a high probability of success in possession.

Modification just reduces the difficulty of possession.

Ning Zheng calculated a bit, thinking perhaps his realm was too low.

It would be troublesome not being able to control such a powerful existence.

"To increase my margin of error, perhaps I should elevate my realm."

Ning Zheng sighed, "I must try to break through to the Three Elements Realm!"

[Current Qi Fortune Value: 112425]

He had planned to save up 200,000 Qi Fortune Value to upgrade the server.

But troubles kept arising one after another, couldn't he just let me save up some money in peace?

In the Four Viscera Realm, each realm requires ten thousand Qi Fortune Value.

Elevating himself to Four Viscera Great Perfection and achieving internal organ circulation only needs forty thousand Qi Fortune Value.

But how much is needed to break through to the next Three Elements Realm?

Is the remaining seventy thousand Qi Fortune Value enough?

No idea.

Let's just upgrade it first!

After taking a deep breath.

Ning Zheng glanced at the busy little blacksmiths in the manor's mine and felt he couldn't lag behind.

"Breaking through requires sufficient mana support."

"I have exclusive Yin Attribute Middle Grade Spirit Rice, but I'm missing Middle Grade Spiritual Flesh, might as well go to Xinyi Continent City to buy some."

"And also, complete Li Youzhu's commissioned task."

He stood up, quietly ascended the mountain, and walked into the Teleportation Array, arriving at Xinyi Continent City.

He went to an auction, and purchased some Middle Grade Spiritual Flesh from Shopkeeper Lu.

Perhaps because this corridor was full of ghosts, the demand for meat was extremely high, so there were plenty of supply channels for spiritual flesh.

The Spiritual Flesh was cheaper than he had anticipated, which was a good thing.

After spending three thousand Magic Coins to buy enough Middle Grade Spiritual Flesh, Ning Zheng thought for a moment and felt the meat might still be insufficient.

The mana required for the Four Viscera Realm was enormous. He also bought some Pill Medicine to supplement the mana for the breakthrough.

The combination of meat, rice, and pills should be enough.

Then, following the address given by Li Youzhu, he arrived at a certain area and placed the ring down.

Ning Zheng had tested this ring as well, but could not open it.

It was obviously meant for Jiao Wuyu.

Ning Zheng waited for nearly a two-hour, and then saw Jiao Wuyu appear in person.

He didn't know through what mysterious means of communication or if someone was watching this spot, but she appeared nonetheless.

This rebel indeed infiltrated Xinyi State City, her skills matching her courage.

"It's you." Jiao Wuyu glanced at Ning Zheng, with a half-smile.

"Hello, Auntie."

Ning Zheng responded politely.

Jiao Wuyu smiled, "My daughter seems to be doing quite well."

"Yes, she's happy every day with her good sisters, meeting a lot of new friends, living a very fulfilling life."

Ning Zheng replied.

Of course, it was fulfilling.

Managing a prison every day, torturing two Talisman Masters, attending classes, reading love letters from the silly ironworker, it was all very entertaining.

"That's good."

Jiao Wuyu regained her composure and looked at the ring, unlocking the special seal, and her mind delved into it.

"What a big gift."

Jiao Wuyu took a deep breath, her expression changing several times.

It was as if she saw something unbelievable.

"I see, I see!"

In the end, she exhaled a long breath, her eyes shimmering:

"A hundred years ago, we were all deceived, it wasn't just a lie to Xu Huan, it was a cruel lie to all of us."

Heh heh heh.

She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"If I tell Jian Xin about this, perhaps he won't hunt me anymore... instead, he might join us to rescue the prisoners."

She calmed down for a while, seemingly very satisfied with the gift Li Youzhu had left, "Well, I'll forgive him for playing dead this time."

"He truly is a clever director, the stage has been set for me, just waiting for all the characters to make their entrance."

She gave a faint smile.

Ning Zheng was deep in thought.

Li Youzhu indeed had connections with Xu Huan and others from a hundred years ago,

Ning Zheng now had reason to suspect:

At the time, he helped Xu Huan "awaken," then Xu Huan failed, exploded his own family, and fled with a bucket.

Even after death, he maintained his pre-death logic, causing chaos fervently.

Helping others awaken after he died, flirting with the Jiao Princess...

Truly my life, only born after death.

Utterly wild!

Jiao Wuyu was clearly preparing to rescue that batch of prisoners.

After all, they were naturally rebels.

Releasing the prisoners from this prison would instead become their aid.

As Li Youzhu said, chaos would also erupt in the outer ring.

This prison would undergo drastic unrest.

This was something most people hadn't anticipated.

Everyone was now waiting to hide in the outer ring, like watching a century-long battle in the inner ring from afar.

Who knew they would be dragged into the water?

If this news got out, the spectators would surely flee in panic!

However, Ning Zheng would take advantage of the prison chaos, controlling the prisoner—Gao, mixing among the group of prisoners, to eliminate the Fang Family.

After all, an inside agent in his Court, might as well deal with it, otherwise constantly feeling like a ticking time bomb.

They busy with theirs, I busy with mine.

"Walk with me for a while."

Jiao Wuyu smiled and walked with Ning Zheng on this ancient street:

"Back then, many young heroes from various major powers came to discuss Tao with Xu Huan."

"Jian Xin was one of them, and I was one of them too."

Ning Zheng was somewhat pensive.

Perhaps Li Youzhu, the 'servant' overseeing the combat competition venue, took a liking to the young lady at that time.

A family with a middle-grade spiritual root.

At that time, perhaps just one of the most ordinary aristocratic families among the crowd.

Only oral accounts, not personal experiences.

Unable to understand Xu Huan's mighty force that crushed an era.

Even more unable to grasp his charismatic personality.

But it cannot be denied.

People like Xu Huan are the most common savior protagonist in various storybooks.

A hero determined to save the world, whose charisma in chaotic times could rally followers and achieve greatness.

Most common in storybooks.

Yet most rare in reality.

Just appearing in shops, showing only grace and elegance?

Back then, Li Youzhu seemed ordinary too, but secretly he was an old schemer.

This is the scholars' world.

The stronger the person, the more reserved, humble, unpretentious, and unassuming they are in daily life.

They rather embody Huaxia's moderation and harmony to the fullest.

The past grievances of their older generation are not something Ning Zheng's generation can easily delve into.

He did not want to get involved in the dramatic changes of Xinyi Continent City, only wishing to develop steadily, secretly nurture these little blacksmiths, make some money, cut some qi fortune daily, and be a happy little manor master.

If possible, take advantage of their earth-shaking battles.

Raid the Fang Family, then secretly take people to dig graves and find some treasures.

This is called stealing from the rich to give to the poor.

Ning Zheng followed Jiao Wuyu and gradually arrived at a vegetable market.

All around were stalls selling meat and vegetables, along with a snack street, with crowds coming and going in endless streams.

"Let's sit down here." Jiao Wuyu smiled, picked a stall and ordered some meat dishes from the nearby shopkeeper.

Ning Zheng also sat down, surrounded by incessant noise.

Many people were chatting casually, mixed with many living travelers and scholars visiting various places of historical significance.

Suddenly, the crowd gathered into a mass as if something big was happening at the market entrance.

Ning Zheng looked into the distance, only to see a group of men in black official uniforms escorting a young scholar out.

The scholar's hair was disheveled, his body covered in wounds, with a sign pinned behind his neck.

"Look, someone is being executed again."

"This is quite a show."

"Was execution like this ten-plus thousand years ago?"

"A real eye-opener."

"Interesting."

"It's said that those executed here are awakened ancient burial humans."

"Just earth-bound spirits, they get killed once, and after being resurrected at the earth vein, they return to their normal looped daily lives."

"A hundred years ago, the most terrifying awakened being was none other than the Saint Child of Primordial Sacred Land, Xu Huan."

"That's why it's strictly inspected now."

A group of people discussed, their eyes intensely focused.

Ning Zheng felt a sense of crisis through qi fortune, sensing that person's realm was very low, probably only in the Four Viscera Realm.

But maybe not.

Perhaps in the Three Elements Realm, but due to torture, their combat power had drastically dropped.

The awakening of ghosts is unrelated to realms.

Even Five-Body Realm may awaken.

However, some ancient saints cannot awaken no matter what.

Because the more determined these saints are, the harder it is to fulfill their obsessions.

For example, during their lives, they were overshadowed by someone, with most of their obsessions being: defeat the saint.

How can you let them fulfill their obsessions and awaken?

Difficult!

A blade and axe wielder slowly stood up, removed the sign, and raised the butcher's knife: "Do you have any last words?"

The scholar shouted:

"You all live in lies! This world was a scam from the beginning! We are not wrong; we are not wrong."

"We are not your herded livestock! We are not your cultivated mines."

He roared, his veins bulging, as if using all his life's energy to awaken the entire world:

"The ancient humans are humans too."

He burst into tears, letting out a piercing howl, seemingly attempting to voice all his anger and fear this way,

"I! We, too, are living humans!!"

...

Below, there was loud laughter.

"You simply don't realize you're already dead."

"Ridiculous, you died long before history, tens of thousands of years ago, yet you are unaware."

"You are merely a will left for tens of thousands of years."

...

Many were deep in discussion.

Also, many young tourists were contemplating.

The idea of 'I know who I am' has been an eternal topic.

The awakening embers indeed have become living people, the scholar did not say wrong.

This convict fears death.

But executing him is inevitable.

"Did you see?" Jiao Wuyu smiled brightly, "Do you think it's possible that he is right, that he is truly alive?"
