Although Yang Jian successfully isolated the Yin Yang Path and prevented the supernatural invasion of reality, he still needs a lot of effort to completely perfect this plan.
Zhang Xiangguang’s proposal to create layers of Ghost Domain was very correct.
Because with each additional layer, the world becomes a bit safer.
Therefore, Yang Jian needs to establish as many Ghost Domains as possible on the Yin Yang Path, making it a very large-scale project and requiring substantial resources.
In the following period, Yang Jian and Zhang Xiangguang did not leave the third room at all.
The two continually conceived and refined the Ghost Domain, and then realized it.
It can be said that each time a new Ghost Domain appears, it is a conglomeration of wisdom and dedication.
However, while constructing new Ghost Domains, Yang Jian and Zhang Xiangguang also encountered some inexplicable supernatural phenomena. These phenomena did not occur in supernatural areas nor in reality; they appeared on the Yin Yang Path.
Because occasionally, the two could see eerie figures wandering on the Yin Yang Path.
But whenever they tried to deal with it, the eerie figure would disappear.
“There might be a ghost wandering on the Yin Yang Path, or perhaps the Yin Yang Path itself is a ghost…” Zhang Xiangguang speculated.
Yang Jian said: “The Yin Yang Path is the buffer area between supernatural and reality. Do you feel it resembles the Ghost Domain I constructed? Is it possible that the Yin Yang Path was created by a predecessor to prevent the invasion of the supernatural world into reality? We are merely widening the path along the footsteps of those before us.”
Zhang Xiangguang pondered briefly: “Your guess makes sense. Perhaps the Yin Yang Path was indeed left by a predecessor. But later, due to supernatural erosion, this path almost disappeared. Previously, it might have been wide enough to isolate most supernatural elements.”
“This predecessor might be the owner of this room. After all, this old mansion was left by him too. He constructed the Yin Yang Path with his life and made significant contributions against the supernatural without anyone knowing,” Yang Jian further speculated.
While they were talking, a vague and eerie figure appeared on the distant Yin Yang Path again.
That figure appeared like a lost soul, occasionally showing up, wandering for a moment on the Yin Yang Path, and then disappearing again.
He understood that the owner of the Yin Yang Path had died. The supernatural preserved his former image, occasionally revealing it.
Yang Jian recalled the note he once found in the Ghost Cabinet’s room.
There were five sentences on the note.
The last sentence was: I want to leave here.
Perhaps, after long periods of loneliness and solitary wandering on the Yin Yang Path, the predecessor could not bear such torment, which is why he left such a message of despair.
But in the end, the predecessor still did not choose to give up, nor did he leave the Yin Yang Path.
Even now, such an admirable person did not leave a name, only leaving behind the three rooms for those who came after.
“Since the predecessor could give everything to create the Yin Yang Path, what does our hardship amount to? We should continue working. We’ve only constructed four layers of hell so far, and that’s not enough,” Yang Jian’s spirit lifted as he resumed his work.
In a blink, a month had passed.
During this month, Yang Jian was constantly working because the further he went, the more he needed to think.
As the supernatural world was isolated, ghost handlers in the outside supernatural circle began to notice that the increasing trend of supernatural events had halted, and in some regions where supernatural events were handled, there was no emergence of new supernatural events.
Such phenomena were not limited to a single place; they occurred in many places.
Previously, supernatural events could not be resolved thoroughly; when one place barely dealt with an event, a new ghost would emerge until the area was locked down and fell victim.
But now, such a situation will become a thing of the past.
By severing the source of supernatural appearances, if the ghosts in reality were detained and dealt with, their numbers would diminish until no supernatural occurrences would transpire in reality.
Of course, as of now, there are still many supernatural events happening in reality. The domestic situation is relatively better, while abroad is more severe because of the impact of the great flood plan, coupled with the downfall of the King Organization, resulting in a continuous emergence of supernatural events.
Therefore, it will still take a long time before the supernatural era completely recedes.
Yang Jian remained indifferent about the situation outside and focused entirely on constructing Ghost Domains.
A month of effort showed evident results.
He successfully used Ghost Flame to build a constantly burning Ghost Domain world.
He also filled the second Ghost Domain world using Blood Lake.
Additionally, he distorted the distances within the Ghost Domain, enveloping a massive city within the influence of Wang Family’s Pendulum Clock.
He even left a road within the Ghost Domain world, connecting it to the old mansion where Zhang Dong is buried; however, this layer of the Ghost Domain Yang Jian left to use much later, not intending to use it at the beginning.
…
But as Yang Jian continued to use Ghost Eye supernatural powers, the eye obtained from the Ghost Mirror gradually lost its blood-red color, starting to turn into a normal, pale eyeball.
This is the supernatural power of the Ghost Mirror failing.
Yang Jian didn’t find this situation surprising at all; in fact, he thought this ordinary ghost eye was somewhat beyond his expectations, after all, it’s not easy managing to use it for so long.
“My plan is almost completed, this ghost eye will soon be useless to me.”
Yang Jian didn’t mind and continued his work.
It wasn’t until the forty-fifth day that the eyeball completely lost its blood-red color, no longer possessing the ghost eye’s supernatural power.
But at the same time, Yang Jian’s nose, eyes, and ears began to bleed a bit of crimson blood.
“I’m having a nosebleed?” He touched his nose and froze, somewhat stunned.
With Yang Jian’s physical condition, it’s simply impossible to get sick, have a nosebleed, or experience exhaustion.
A sense of unease surged in his heart.
Yang Jian didn’t hesitate and immediately restarted himself, attempting to eliminate this situation.
After restarting himself, the blood disappeared.
But as soon as Yang Jian exited the restart, his nosebleed became worse.
“Yang Jian, what’s wrong?” Zhang Xiangguang immediately walked over and asked upon seeing this.
Yang Jian didn’t speak; he just calmly looked at the blood on his hand. “I’m bleeding. This isn’t ordinary blood; this is the ghost blood I’m powering within my body. I tried to restart myself to return to my status, but instead the blood flowed faster. It’s clear that once I use supernatural powers, ghost blood will overflow from my body.”
“There’s only one explanation for such a situation… my supernatural powers are imbalanced, and the ghost blood can no longer balance the other supernatural powers within my body.”
“My previous concern was justified. With such reckless use of supernatural powers comes a corresponding price. Now, the plan is almost completed, so it’s time to stop and rest,” Zhang Xiangguang said.
Yang Jian said, “The root of all this is caused by this eye.”
He reached out and grabbed his arm, brutally extracting the pale eyeball from his flesh.
However, even though he forcibly separated this eyeball from his body, his bleeding didn’t stop.
“Is the trap of the Human Skin Paper buried here? This ordinary ghost eye’s supernatural power isn’t enough to break my own balance, but when accumulated on the ghost eye, it’s different. It anticipated that I would madly use the Ghost Domain, so, borrowing this eye’s supernatural power, it slowly broke the upper limit of the ghost eye until finally… the ghost eye completely resurrects.” Yang Jian’s expression remained calm.
“Ghost blood can’t simultaneously combat the supernatural power of the bus and also suppress the resurrecting ghost eye, hence the ghost blood is bit by bit being expelled from the body, which is why I suddenly start bleeding. Moreover, with the reduction of ghost blood, my resurrection will accelerate until it eventually snowballs beyond control.”
At this moment, he began to analyze his situation, understanding what was happening.
“Can you resolve this state?” Zhang Xiangguang, seeing Yang Jian’s silence, asked again.
Yang Jian thought for a moment, and then tossed the pale eyeball down the Yin Yang Path; the eyeball rolled and vanished, entering the layer of Ghost Domain.
“It can’t be resolved. This is a ghost’s conspiracy against me. As long as I insist on completing this plan, I will walk right into the trap. Right now, this state equals entering a countdown to death. Recovering from this is almost impossible. If some other supernatural power inside me resurrects, I can restart indefinitely with the Supernatural Pendulum Clock, directly returning to over a month ago to change my condition.”
“Only ghost eye resurrection is impossible because restarting also requires using the ghost eye’s supernatural power, and doing so will only worsen the situation…”
“No other way?” Zhang Xiangguang asked.
“Don’t worry about it. We still have some final wrapping up to do. I don’t want to give up midway. So once that’s done, I’ll deal with it. If it really becomes impossible, I’ll lie in the Ghost Coffin,” Yang Jian said, then took out a medicine box.
Opening it, he took out a packet of traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhang Xiangguang froze upon seeing this.
He recognized this medicine box—it’s a supernatural item from Zhang Bohua, the elderly apothecary. He didn’t expect it to end up with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian didn’t hesitate, taking the packet of traditional Chinese medicine directly.
Soon, the eerie medicine took effect, his nosebleed stopped, and he seemed to revive.
Zhang Xiangguang didn’t speak, knowing this Chinese medicine only prolongs life temporarily. When the time comes, the supernatural resurrection will be fiercer than before. It’s something used only in desperation.
Yang Jian should know this as well.
“He must realize how dire his situation is, already reaching an irreversible point, thus wanting to delay the arrival of the limit to complete some things he wants to do. But this first step plan is definitely not his end; he likely already has a second step plan in mind; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm.” Zhang Xiangguang thought inwardly.
Because he didn’t believe Yang Jian would fade away so easily.
