In order to better understand the Ghost Bride's path and thereby use her power more effectively, Thunder Dragon Ancestor and Lin Jing subsequently arrived at the Ghost Bride's main base, which was the Buddha City occupied by her.

For the Buddhist sect, after learning about the Ghost Bride's situation, they gave up fighting against her.

First, because the Ghost Bride's power had reached the Void Profound level, trying to completely suppress her would likely cost too much.

Secondly, and more importantly, the Buddhist sect realized that the Ghost Bride's form was unstable. In this unstable state, after a period of time, she might collapse on her own.

If there was hope of waiting for the Ghost Bride's self-destruction without a fight, then there was no need to spend a huge cost to attack her.

However, what the Buddhist sect could not have imagined was that, by a stroke of luck, the marriage contract Lin Jing brought from the Ancient Country successfully helped the Ghost Bride stabilize her form, turning her into a ghost with absolute dominant consciousness.

"There's still half a year left, His Highness the Saint Son. In this half a year, as long as you get acquainted with the path of obsession, you can better harmonize with the Ghost Bride's power. Coupled with your advantages, no one will be able to oppose you in the Golden Light Gu assessment."

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor's role was not limited to providing body-strengthening blood; his experience in cultivation was enough to serve as a teacher for Lin Jing and the Ghost Bride.

Within the Ghost City.

Lin Jing looked at the absent-minded Ghost Bride walking ahead and inquired, "Senior, have you remembered your name?"

"Tang Ling," the Ghost Bride said.

"Senior, you must be thinking of your fiancée, right? Does she have a name? The more information we have, the easier it will be to find traces she left behind."

"My Demon Court can help you search for her, Senior."

The Ghost Bride shook her head, "I only remember that she was a Sword Cultivator with great talent, nothing else comes to mind."

"Sword Cultivator..." Lin Jing and Thunder Dragon Ancestor exchanged a glance; the scope was too broad.

The Ghost Bride should be someone from fifty thousand years ago.

Fifty thousand years ago, even the Lord of the Demon Court and the first generation Ancient Emperor hadn't been born yet. Finding a Sword Cultivator's traces from that chaotic period seemed exceedingly difficult.

However, since it had already existed and happened, there must be a way to solve it.

The Ancient Country Celestial Secret Tower is said to be able to deduce future events; if so, then retrospecting past events should also be possible.

Moreover, possessing similar time-path abilities is not unique to the Ancient Country Celestial Secret Tower; within the Demon Beast tribes, there exist beasts proficient in similar time-path skills.

Lin Jing pondered and said, "After leaving the Western Desert, I will seek out experts in my Demon Court who are proficient in time-path to help you, Senior, trace back in time to find her traces."

"Thank you." The Ghost Bride's blood-red eyes looked at Lin Jing more gently, though they still appeared quite terrifying to Lin Jing.

"Next, I will help you comprehend the 'path of obsession.' In my understanding, the path of obsession should be an unwavering thought, where even in death, one must rise as a ghost to accomplish something."

She stopped walking, looking at Thunder Dragon Ancestor and Lin Jing. Through Thunder Dragon Ancestor's explanations, she had gained a deeper understanding of the path of obsession.

She also understood why Thunder Dragon Ancestor said that as long as the obsession remained, it would be difficult for her to die completely.

However, she looked at Thunder Dragon Ancestor and Lin Jing again and shook her head.

"You have no strong obsession." The Ghost Bride first commented on Thunder Dragon Ancestor.

Thunder Dragon Ancestor twitched his dragon whiskers; indeed, his greatest obsession previously was hoping to see the revival of the Demon Clan, placing it above his own breakthrough in the Dao, which should also be the obsession of most strong figures in the Demon Court. And now, with the emergence of the Transformation Pill, this obsession had lessened.

"As for you, you have no strong thought either. Under such circumstances, it's difficult to comprehend my path. In half a year, there may not be much progress."

The Ghost Bride also saw that Lin Jing's demeanor was very carefree; he had not been bound by obsession because of any event up to now.

Such a foundation doesn't fit with the path of obsession.

"No obsession?" Thunder Dragon Ancestor, hearing this, looked at Lin Jing. No, it couldn't be. As someone with the most complex emotions among humans, how could he not have obsessions?

Thunder Dragon Ancestor said, "Your Highness the Saint Son, do you have nothing you want to pursue?"

Lin Jing stood amid the ruins of Ghost City and shook his head, "Does strength count? But to say I'm obsessed, no, not overly. When I first entered Qingzhou, I was eager to enhance my strength for self-preservation, but after being under the protection of the Demon Court, my mindset for cultivation relaxed quite a bit."

"I also have no strong desire to necessarily become the first on the continent or ascend."

"This is hard to handle..." Thunder Dragon Ancestor was taken aback, since Lin Jing possessed the Secret Technique of Hidden Dragon, Thunder Dragon Ancestor assumed that with the Ghost Bride's cooperation, Lin Jing could roughly begin to comprehend the path of obsession within half a year.

But now, looking at Lin Jing's mindset, it fundamentally doesn't align with the path of obsession, making comprehension significantly more challenging.

However, the next moment, the Ghost Bride found another breakthrough point.

"Although he has no obsession, it seems there are other things within him, and those two things have very strong obsessions."

"They might have reached the extent where if not completed, they wouldn't rest in peace, and would rise as vengeful spirits."

"Hmm?" As the Ghost Bride finished speaking, Lin Jing and Thunder Dragon Ancestor were surprised.

"Senior Tang Ling, are you referring to..." Lin Jing brought out the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Ice Soul Gu.

"Squeak!!"

"Eh?"

The Pine Leaf Squirrel and Ice Soul Gu, who were frantically hoarding supplies and continuously absorbing the power of Thunder Tribulation Gu, both settled on Lin Jing's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

"Indeed, it's those two," the Ghost Bride noted.

"The intensity of their obsessions... it's terribly strong."

Lin Jing fell into deep thought, glancing at the Pine Leaf Squirrel and Ice Soul Gu.

The Pine Leaf Squirrel's obsession, he could vaguely guess, was likely the obsession with hoarding?

The desire to fill all its storage devices, including the Demon Core Space, since, for the sake of hoarding, the Pine Leaf Squirrel could even forget cultivation.

This was a strong penchant it had even before forming a contract.

As for the Ice Soul Gu...

Lin Jing's Celestial Demon Divine Sense swept over, peering into the Ice Soul Gu's mind. Since he didn't want to invade a pet beast's privacy ordinarily, he hadn't done this before, but now that the Ghost Bride sensed the Ice Soul Gu's obsession matched that of the Pine Leaf Squirrel, he had to see for himself.

Inside the Ice Soul Gu's mind, it took the form of a creature with a body like icy crystal, half of which extended into the figure of an icy maiden.

She restrained the Pine Leaf Squirrel and Dragon Carp with numerous legs.

Within her crystalline body, including the Thunder Tribulation Gu, Golden Light Gu, and the other nine astonishing Gus, all were icy imprisonment.

"So this creature's obsession is like this?" Lin Jing was speechless, as the Ice Soul Gu's obsession seemed to be devouring the other nine Gus to gain absolute strength to defeat the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Dragon Carp, and perhaps even transform into a Demon Beast, all within its obsession to grow stronger.
