Chapter 1494: T-there’s a Phantom King Core...

Ning Shu had to watch him for half a day without uttering a complete sentence before she got some useful information: Phantom King Core.

Did Song Ruoxi’s body have phantom energy because it had the Phantom King Core in it?

The Phantom King Core, it was apparent from its name that it was something only the Phantom King had. Feng Yin must have given his Phantom King Core to Song Ruoxi.

A living person with a Phantom King Core in their body—what was Song Ruoxi now?

Ning Shu looked at the hanged ghost who kept shoving his tongue into his mouth. He put his tongue into his mouth, but it immediately fell out again. He would push it back in, and the cycle would repeat. Ning Shu rolled her eyes.

She said to the hanged ghost, “It’s better to go reincarnate.”

“I, I want to, but I killed myself,” said the hanged ghost.

Children who died young, people who committed suicide, and those who died by drowning were the sort that usually became wandering ghosts. After a long time, their consciousness would gradually disappear and they would turn into mindless wandering ghosts. Finally, they would grow weaker and weaker before disappearing from the world.

This kind of ghost would look for substitutes in order to gain a chance at reincarnation.

Ning Shu thought about it and said, “I can transcend you.”

“D-Daoist.” The hanged ghost looked at Ning Shu while feeling moved.

Ning Shu didn’t want to listen to his stuttering, so she removed the paper talisman from his body.

She pinched her fingers and chanted the Daoist mantra for transcending the spirits of the deceased—”Transcending Heaven and Earth Mantra”.

“The naturally-just-so of heaven and earth; disperses all filthy vapors. Within the grotto of the Mysterious Void; the Supreme Origin is dazzlingly bright. Courageous spirits of the eight directions; bring to pass the naturally-just-so. And the talismanic decrees of the Numinous Treasury; Qian Luo Ta Na. In the Pole Star’s Grotto of the Ultimate Mystery; he executes evil beings and binds up demons... The Qi of Tao will merge and exist eternally; these mandates I will expediently follow.”

Ning Shu’s mouth spat out incantations that floated around the hanged ghost, whose grievances gradually disappeared. Finally, he drifted into a black hole and disappeared.

Ning Shu blankly stared at the black hole. Could this be the legendary underworld?

After doing the purification, Ning Shu went out of the bathroom and saw several more ghosts in the dark corners of the company.

Ning Shu couldn’t help but rub her forehead, feeling truly speechless.

Obviously, these ghosts were all coming for the Phantom King Core. Song Ruoxi had become the target of a hundred ghosts.

Ning Shu decided to call the old man and ask him about the Phantom King Core.

After waiting for a long time, Ning Shu dialed the number and told the old man about the Phantom King Core. Now that it was in a living person’s body, it would definitely lead to a big mess.

When the old man heard about the Phantom King Core, he was stunned for a moment before saying, “People can cultivate, and so can ghosts. The place where people store their energy is the dantian. Similarly, when ghosts cultivate for a long time, their bodies will have ghost cores. Such ghosts cannot enter the reincarnation cycle, but they could turn into people again if they get stronger.

“But I’ve only heard of the Phantom King Core and haven’t seen it yet. If someone swallowed it, they would become a half-human, half-ghost monster,” said the old man.

The explanation shocked Ning Shu. After deliberating for an instant, she said, “Then, wouldn’t the half-human, half-ghost monster be very powerful?”

“No. If there’s no accident, she will have a long lifespan. However, when the energy in the Phantom King Core is depleted, she’ll die, and her soul will be annihilated. This will be the only life she’ll ever have,” said the old man.

“She has no choice but to rely on the Phantom King Core to survive. Once it leaves her body, her soul and body will vaporize.”

Hearing that Song Ruoxi wouldn’t suddenly gain cheats and become powerful, Ning Shu let out a sigh of relief.

But to have an unknown number of years to live with Feng Yin was already very cheat-like.

At the moment, she was more concerned about another matter. Ning Shu asked the old man, “Will the strength of the Phantom King weaken without the Phantom King Core?”

“That’s for sure. The Phantom King Core is the source of his power, and his thousand-year Yin and baleful energy are stored in it.” The old man said, “But don’t you think you can take care of the Phantom King just because he doesn’t have the Phantom King Core. You’re still a bit too young.”
