Chapter 229: 149, Even as a ghost, one should have a human appearance.

This pale hand had undoubtedly been on Tan Shuchang’s mind for a long time, and he had even thought of a name for it once it would be transformed into a Magic Artifact. Coming from nowhere in a flash, and disappearing just as quickly, its elusive nature made it hard to grasp. Right after it snatched away that piece of white paper, the pale hand began to spasm, jerking around for quite a while.

This time, however, the diary did not spread throughout the world, because the fun of it doing so was no longer there.

So, this time the diary appeared only in the Land of Yin and Darkness.

Whether out of gender fairness or because Tan Shuchang only had two sect mates in the Land of Yin and Darkness, the diary inexplicably split into two identical copies–same paper, same script, same content–and each appeared on the private desks of Xue Ning’er, Tan Shuchang’s senior sister, and his second senior brother.

Yes, desks.

The Land of Yin and Darkness is not like what the living imagine, filled with mist and countless spirits driven to reincarnation.

Actually, spirits do come to the Land of Yin and Darkness, but most of them dissipate upon arrival.

Only a very few manage to remain.

Moreover, if a spirit reaches the level of a fierce ghost, it certainly can persist in the Land of Yin and Darkness. However, after stepping into the Land of Yin and Darkness, unless under special circumstances, it’s very difficult for one to leave on their own.

Like Tan Shuchang’s second senior brother who left as soon as he arrived, he did so because according to the rules of the Land of Yin and Darkness, he only had fifteen minutes to head to the Jiawu Realm.

Xue Ning’er and Tan Shuchang’s second senior brother both arrived at the Land of Yin and Darkness as spirits. Undeniably, the Heartless Old Man was very good at choosing disciples because both of them were among the few who did not dissipate immediately upon their arrival.

Thus, the two were recruited by the Ghost Academy of the Land of Yin and Darkness.

Initially, the two were not in the same Ghost Academy as their times of death differed. But after both successfully completed their training in the Ghost Path within two years, they proceeded to the same place.

Yin God Academy!

In the Land of Yin and Darkness, even Yin Gods need to go to school!

However, as it’s a place for Yin Gods to study, their classrooms are not just several Yin Gods gathered in a small place listening to a teacher. Instead…

The method of learning for Yin Gods is to be assigned to a living town and, from these living beings, to comprehend the power that suits themselves.

So, the Yin God Academy is less a school and more a world in its own right.

Due to its vast expanse.

In the living towns they’re assigned to, each Yin God has a space akin to the cave dwellings for cultivators in the Jiawu Realm, although not as big and only furnished with a desk and chair.

Furthermore, not all Yin Gods in the Land of Yin and Darkness receive such treatment–only those with the potential to become Earth Ghost Immortals are afforded this opportunity for “advanced study.”

The living town where Xue Ning’er resided was called Beining County Town, with a span of thirty miles. Beyond the town, a thick mist lingered.

The inhabitants of this Beining County Town referred to this persistent mist as the Death Realm.

The reason for the name was that none of the living who ventured into the mist had ever returned, not even a shred of information.

People in Beining County Town were convinced that those who entered the mist had surely died because every so often, the Death Realm would dissipate to reveal paths that one could leave by.

Then, at varying distances from Beining County Town, the bodies of those who had ventured in would be discovered.

Some bodies would be decomposed, some mummified, but others would remain unchanged from the way they looked in life, until a living person approached, at which point the bodies would suddenly change–either turning into monsters that eat people or disintegrating into ash.

Consequently, the people of Beining County Town formed a group, whose main function was to dissuade people from entering the Death Realm.

Yet, there were those who believed the Death Realm should be explored because the crops grown around Beining County Town were not sufficient to support the increasing population growth. They wanted to be prepared for the future.

But most people chose not to express an opinion and simply watched the two factions argue.

Although Xue Ning’er was in Beining County Town, she had never revealed herself. However, she had decided to formally reveal her identity. She was preparing to perform a spectacular living sacrifice to further her path as a Yin God.

Because she was following the deceitful Ghost Path among the many Ghost Paths.

Deceitful, as in trickery, means to engage in deception.

Before that, however, she needed to report to the Yin God Academy because there was a high chance that the people in Beining County Town would be wiped out after this living sacrifice.

Then, upon entering her “study,” Xue Ning’er saw the piece of paper on her desk.

Xue Ning’er initially thought it was a notice from the Yin God Academy, but she quickly realized it was not when she saw the text on the paper.

“Tan Shuchang cultivated for five years…”

Xue Ning’er’s face, originally a bit pale, slowly shifted from astonishment to peculiarity as she read on.

Astonishment because she hadn’t expected the diary to belong to her “third junior brother”!

And peculiarity, of course, because from reading the diary, it was clear her “third junior brother” was even more unpredictable than her “second junior brother”!
