This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 246 The "Simple and Honest" Customs of the Spirit Realm World


"Two Daoists, please don't start fighting!"

"We can discuss things calmly. Although we are outlaws, we are good ghosts!"

"Please… don't fight!"

In a corner of the Ghost Market, Nuwa and Houtu radiated intimidating auras, the scorching Qi of Taiyang and Taiyin echoing each other, creating a scene of sun and moon shining together.

The Happy Ghost group was startled and quickly retreated.

The Sly Ghost hid behind the Happy Ghost, with a hint of tears: "They... they are too terrifying; just by looking at them, you can tell they are born as wild ghosts. They must have been involved in shady deeds before reincarnation."

"Don't be agitated, Daoists. Don't misunderstand us. We believe in harmony and never harm newcomers. We are different from other wild ghosts." [Sly Ghost]Yu Chen wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead, the smile on his face becoming somewhat stiff.

They start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Why do you two rookies look more like outlaws than us?

[Happy Ghost]Xuanqing remained calm and serene. He retreated while smiling lightly: "Daoists, calm down. This is the initial location; our cultivation level is the same. With two against three, you are at a disadvantage."

"Wuwuwu~~ That's right, Happy Ghosts are fierce fighters. You definitely... wuwuwu, you definitely can't win against us." [Sly Ghost]Taishang's voice choked.

That's right, Happy Ghosts are the combination of The Three Pure Ones.

Xuanqing and Taishang went out for a stroll, and their wanderings led them to Biyou Heaven, specifically inviting Daoist Lord Yu Chen to experience the Spirit Realm World.

Thus, Daoist Lord Yu Chen, who was restless in tranquility, tagged along.

As for why Taishang chose to be the Sly Ghost.

Don't ask. The answer is he wanted to try something different.

"Are you three really good ghosts?" After hearing the explanation, Nuwa and Houtu were skeptical.

Outlaws don't sound like a good term, so the two goddesses planned to strike first.

[Happy Ghost]Xuanqing patted his chest: "Absolutely genuine!"

"Alright then." Nuwa's face blossomed into a smile; she patted Houtu, and their intimidating aura receded.

The tense atmosphere vanished without a trace.

[Daoist Brother, we've encountered opponents, these two rookies don't seem like easy targets.]

[Wuwuwu, I can... I can tell.]

[No big deal.]

Xuanqing looked calmly at the two goddesses: "Are you Daoists looking to register at Yin Department or become wild ghosts?"

"Register at Yin Department." Houtu chose the former, favoring order over chaos.

Nuwa did not object.

"Then please follow us."

Xuanqing led them away from the reincarnation area of the Ghost Well, heading to Yin Department for registration.

During the journey, Xuanqing introduced them to the Spirit Realm World and the Nine Nether Ghost Market.

"The Spirit Realm World is a virtual reality world, many civilizations and races here correspond to those in the Great Universe, but most are fictional."

"For example, us Nine Nether ghosts - there aren't as many ghost types in reality. It's designed to conceal identities and facilitate interactions."

"In terms of openness, the Spirit Realm World is far more open than the real world, making interactions easy."

"The rules here are similar to the outside world. You can cultivate, trade, leave Nine Nether to explore various mythological civilizations, and if you have the ability, you can establish your own forces and set up your own dojo in the Spirit Realm World..."

When they turned a corner and arrived at the main street of the Ghost Market.

The two newly arrived goddesses carefully observed the surroundings.

The eerie wind could not disperse the excitement and strange atmosphere pervading the Ghost Market.

Stalls lined the streets, every stall illuminated by ghostly green flames, casting an eerie glow on the sinister faces of the vendors.

Various ghosts moved through the market.

Hunched elderly ghosts holding walking sticks, their sharp eyes scanning for coveted treasures;

Elegant ghosts wearing ornate but slightly decayed attire, gracefully strolling through the market, occasionally stopping to converse softly with vendors;

Frightening ghosts loudly clamoring, fighting over rare ghost artifacts and treasures on the stalls.

Not far away, a stage made of white bones featured a troupe of ghostly actors performing a tragic play, their haunting voices echoing in the night air, captivating the ghosts below.

In the void, groups of solemn Ghost Gods occasionally passed by, patrolling the area.

Xuanqing pointed ahead, "See that giant locust tree over there?"

Both goddesses looked up.

In the distance stood a giant locust tree.

This tree was extraordinarily tall, its pitch-black trunk resembling a coiled dragon. Its canopy stretched across the sky, countless branches extending in all directions.

Among the myriad branches and leaves, numerous red threads floated in the air, glowing faintly, resembling timelines connecting various worlds.

"The Ghost Market is the trading platform of Nine Nether. Besides ghosts, it hosts various creatures from the Yang Realm. This giant locust tree connects the Universe and various civilizations, serving as the large transmission array for interaction between Nine Nether ghosts and Yang Realm beings."

"This section of the street has more native Nine Nether residents. As we move forward, you'll see more beings from the Yang Realm."

After walking further, they indeed encountered different creatures.

Domineering Divine Monarchs strolled along the streets, mischievous sprites darted through alleys, giants from the Giant Country sold dragons, vine-shaped beings halted at the Spirit Beast Workshop...

Different races mingled, civilizations interconnected, bustling with activity.

"Under the giant locust tree is a Mythical Stele, which records various competitions and rankings within the Spirit Realm World."

"If you make it to the rankings, you gain significant fame and various rewards from the Spirit Realm World."

On the topic of the Mythical Stele, Xuanqing shared a funny story: "Recently, the Mountain and Sea Human Race broke two records."

"One record was 'Most Theft,' where a fierce human plundered the largest trade zone of the Slaughter Civilization in a short time and successfully escaped."

"Another was 'Most Glutton,' where a human performed so strongly in a Secret Realm that he attracted the hostility of disciples from various mythological civilizations, suffering a fierce attack. In desperation, he fought back, defeating many enemies, and devoured all non-human creatures in that Secret Realm."

"Including five hundred and six different species!"

[Sly Ghost]Taishang was deeply moved: "Though it's a virtual world, all living beings' consciousnesses descend here, not their true forms, but all injuries and sensations are real."

"So, the taste is real too."

[Sly Ghost]Yu Chen commented: "The 'Most Glutton' is a genuine glutton. He compiled all the species he devoured into a culinary guide, noting their characteristics, specific flavors, and effects."

"Then what?" Nuwa listened intently.

"Then?"

Xuanqing and the others' expressions turned odd: "Then he publicly sold the culinary guide on various trading platforms, pricing it at just ten Spirit Coins."

Houtu was shocked: "That's too provocative!"

"Exactly."

[Sly Ghost]Taishang nodded: "Those species included in the guide are now fuming, condemning the 'Most Glutton.'"

"Various mythological civilizations joined the condemnation, stating this behavior must be resisted."

"But—"

"But the culinary guide is now extremely popular, right?" Nuwa asked with a smile.

New Reincarnators receive three thousand Spirit Coins upon registering at Nine Nether Department.

Nuwa wasn't sure about other forces' compensation but guessed most Reincarnators' initial funds likely exceed this guide's price.

So, when the 'Most Glutton' record appeared, curiosity drove many beings to buy the guide.

"Indeed."

Xuanqing nodded lightly: "Various mythological civilizations and races condemn the 'Most Glutton' while secretly purchasing the guide."

"Most Reincarnators are curious and buy it too."

"As for those enemy species, they bought the guide in bulk and distributed it for free at various transmission arrays."

"The whole affair caused quite a stir; now those species that ambushed the 'Most Glutton' dare not wander freely."

Next, Xuanqing shared some other stories, most actions by various beings shelledly outrageous.

[Is this the customs of the Spirit Realm World? Such absurdity could be added to my novellas] Hearing Xuanqing's stories, Houtu felt these beings were as inventive as the Primordial gods.

Unbeknownst to Houtu, one purpose of this Spirit Realm World testing version was to help beings from Xuantai Universe and Changrong Universe adapt early to the Primordial survival environment.

Thus, the entire world's style was mirroring the Primordial.

The Primordial gods were straightforward; thus, this world was equally straightforward.

Next, Xuanqing took Nuwa and Houtu to Yin Department to register and receive various benefits.

"Your cave mansions are located in the twenty-fourth Ghost City under Yin Department's jurisdiction, at number 666."

[Happy Ghost]Xuanqing looked at Nuwa and Houtu, smiled: "You can sync information from the Mythical Stele with your Identity Jade, stay updated with rankings and contests, and familiarize yourselves with the Spirit Realm World's atmosphere."

"Looking forward to your impressive performances."

[Sly Ghost]Yu Chen suggested: "Daoists, add us as friends. If you have any questions, feel free to consult us."

"Some competitions allow teams, you can join us!" [Sly Ghost]Taishang took out his jade pendant.

Both goddesses smiled gracefully: "Alright."

They placed their jade tokens together, exchanging contact information.

"Sigh, another two rookies are about to be led astray."

Under the giant locust tree, Zhun Ti witnessed this scene and sighed slightly.

He was there to observe the Underworld and study Reincarnation.

At that moment, a noble-looking youth passed by, carrying a food box in his left hand and holding a half-eaten Spirit Fruit in his right hand.

"Daoist, 'Most Glutton' updated his culinary guide, want to buy? Half price, only 5 Spirit Coins!"

Zhun Ti took out a scripture to stop the noble youth.

"'Most Glutton' updated his guide? How did I not know?"

The noble youth was surprised.

"Daoist, is that a pirated copy?"

"How can you falsely accuse me?"

Zhun Ti refuted loudly: "I, the Miser Ghost, would never sell pirated guides!"

"This guide is genuine!"

He had deliberately copied Zhen Yuanzi's work, continuing that human glutton's guide was straightforward.
