CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 451: ADOPTING XINGZI! I WANT TO BE A RIGHTEOUS PARTNER JUST LIKE BIG BROTHER!

The mysterious power beneath Sakura Island, could it be the relic of the Spiritual Power Divine Country?

Just like the Mechanical Dragon Palace during the Sea Emperor Festival, and the Green Wood Thunder Trial Secret Realm of Thunder Hall...

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Tianming felt it was possible. He carefully sensed the Spiritual Power Ascension tainted by the Deceitful God Aura, and soon made a new discovery.

Beneath Sakura Island, there seemed to be some mysterious power responding to him.

But exactly where it was, he was still unable to sense it.

Could it be that he needed to gather the power of all Nine Demons?

Thinking this, Lin Tianming’s gaze sharpened.

If this mysterious power beneath Sakura Island could really be found by him, then he definitely had to make a trip there.

There, there was likely the uncarried relics of Spiritual Power Divine Country after they sealed themselves!

"Ming Jun, can’t the remaining power of the Red Ghost after death be purified?"

Sister Lianghua’s question rang beside his ear, and Lin Tianming nodded: "This isn’t ordinary Demonic Qi, it’s very similar to the Deceitful God Aura."

[Why didn’t I, in my previous life after slaying the Red Ghost, encounter this soul power tainted by the Deceitful God Aura?]

[Could it be that only the Spiritual Power Ascension is necessary?]

Lianghua was somewhat confused. She hesitated, then said: "Ming Jun, can you show it to me?"

"Yes, but you must be careful not to be corrupted by it; this is much more dangerous than Demonic Qi."

Lin Tianming handed over the Spiritual Power Ascension tainted by the Deceitful God Aura to Lianghua.

Lianghua carefully observed it for a while. She too discovered the anomaly in the soul power.

[So it’s Spiritual Power Ascension tainted by the Deceitful God Aura... No wonder in my last life after slaying all Nine Demons I didn’t find this... it needs Spiritual Power Ascension to trigger...]

[Deep beneath Sakura Island, there appears to be a special connection with this power, perhaps gathering all Nine Demons’ power could help Ming Jun and me find the relics of the Spiritual Power Divine Country!]

[In my last life’s later stage of becoming a deity, I killed many Ascended Gods... But for me now, not yet beyond divinity, finding the relics of the Spiritual Power Divine Country would indeed be a great opportunity!]

Lianghua’s analysis reinforced Lin Tianming’s determination to gather the power of all Nine Demons.

"Ming Jun, this thing is highly corrosive; let me keep it for now, and when you slay all the Nine Demons, it might prove very useful!"

Lianghua could not reveal the secret of the Reincarnator, so she did not specify it to Lin Tianming.

But Lin Tianming heard her thoughts, and still trusted her judgment.

"Alright, then I’ll leave it in your care."

With Lin Tianming’s permission, Lianghua immediately used the Spirit Manipulation Forbidden Technique to seal the tainted Spiritual Power Ascension.

This was what Lianghua excelled at.

Lin Tianming marveled in his heart, then approached the little girl Xingzi whom they had saved.

"Big brother, thank you for saving Xingzi, and for avenging Xingzi’s mom and dad!"

Xingzi, only as tall as Lin Tianming’s knees, hugged his legs, genuinely grateful for his lifesaving grace.

Lin Tianming smiled and said: "Xingzi, do you have any other relatives? How about big brother takes you to live with your relatives?"

"Xingzi only had mommy and daddy... Mommy and daddy are dead... Xingzi is all alone now..."

As soon as the mention of other relatives came up, Xingzi began to cry again.

Lin Tianming picked up the little one, wiping her tears.

"Then you can follow me and your Sister Lianghua from now on. Here, let me introduce you, this beautiful big sister is Lianghua, she will be your family from now on!"

Hearing that Lin Tianming was willing to take her in, Xingzi was overjoyed.

She rubbed her tear-stained eyes, and looked obediently at Lianghua: "Hello Sister Lianghua."

Lianghua also gently pinched Xingzi’s chubby cheeks.

Lin Tianming was willing to take in this orphaned child, which reassured her that she had not misjudged him.

[Ming Jun really has a big heart, truly worthy of being the man Lianghua has set her heart on!]

"Xingzi is such a good girl, don’t worry, your big brother and I will take very good care of you!"

After calming Xingzi’s emotions for a while, Lianghua said, "Ming Jun, should we now take Xingzi to a safe place and then deal with the remaining Nine Demons, or should we take Xingzi with us to handle them?"

Lin Tianming was about to say that letting this young child witness too much could cause childhood trauma, but then Xingzi volunteered bravely, stating she wanted to continue with them.

"Don’t leave Xingzi behind... Xingzi wants to see big brother and Sister Lianghua acting like heroes, and Xingzi wants to learn from big brother...to strive to become a righteous partner just like big brother!"

Lin Tianming faced Xingzi’s serious little expression, thought of her recent chase by the Red Ghost, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to bring her along.

"Let’s take Xingzi with us; dealing with a few ghosts, I can still spare a hand to protect this child!"

"Yay! Big brother, you are Xingzi’s hero!"

Xingzi’s innocent childlike smile also brought joy to both Lin Tianming and Lianghua.

Especially Lianghua.

She felt that with Xingzi, she and Lin Tianming seemed even more like a family.

The three of them, a perfect family of three!

...

"Help... help me! There is something in the water... pulling at my foot... No! Gurgling..."

"What... what’s happening here? How did the flood suddenly submerge the village? I must climb to a high place... I... don’t... don’t pull me down into the water... don’t..."

"Good thing I reacted quickly, standing on this rooftop... Hopefully, help will arrive soon... Wait... who’s tapping my left shoulder? Huh? A monster! Quickly...argh!"

One of the Nine Demons, the Blue Ghost, initiated a flood that submerged several villages in this area.

In the midst of the flood, people were isolated and helpless.

And he reveled in the thrill of hunting.

"The more they scream, the more I enjoy it."

"Tasty souls... Especially tearing their bodies and savoring their souls the moment I drag them into the water, that’s the most wonderful feeling!"

"Souls that have been in the water too long... or those on dry land... just don’t taste as good!"

"This is my domain... Before you Beiyin Domain people came to Sakura Island... this place was mine! Daring to unseal me, the Blue God, and try to wield my power, you have no idea how terrifying the power of a Ghost God can be, hahaha!"

"There’s a family of three on a rooftop surrounded by floodwaters... tsk tsk tsk... I love to witness the tragic cries of a family of three in their joy and sorrow... hahaha!"

In ancient times on Sakura Island, it was quite normal for teenagers to marry and have children.

The Blue Ghost, not born in this era and having been sealed for a hundred years, seeing two teenagers with a small girl, believed them to be parents and daughter, which seemed very normal to him.

Lurking beneath the nearby water’s surface, the Blue Ghost observed this family of three for a while, soon locking onto the young man.

"Dragging the pillar of this little family into the water, the cries of his wife and daughter will be wonderful. After devouring him, consuming the other two will definitely be the most sensible hunting plan!"

Having planned everything, the soul body of the Blue Ghost covered in rotting blisters suddenly burst from the water, trying to grab the young man’s foot to pull him into the water.

"Scream... scream bitterly! I enjoy hearing the cries of your family... hahaha!"

Just as the Blue Ghost’s hand was about to grasp the young man’s foot, the young man, with his back to him, suddenly stomped his foot.

Boom!

Under the gaze of the Blue Ghost’s rapidly contracting pupils, a bolt of Thunder Power that ripped through the rooftop surged towards him amidst the flood.

At the same moment, the triumphant voice of the young man also rang out.

"Blue Ghost, I have been waiting here for quite a while for you!"
