Chapter 84: Four Hundred Thousand Ghosts Return Home (13)
After leaving the Ninth Ring, Chen Xiang rushed all the way to the old house in the Eighth Ring. It was not until he entered the secret room covered with time loop runes that the vague feeling of being peeped at disappeared.

Who is spying on me?
That kind of ethereal feeling, at least it was a false god level existence. The first generation? Primal fear? Or the so-called Archbishop of the Deep Void?
While he was thinking, Professor Sura, who was sitting cross-legged in the secret room, opened his eyes:
"Xiao Chen?"

Professor Su Luo looked Chen Xiang up and down, somewhat surprised, realizing that this young man seemed to have undergone a great transformation.
There was a vague feeling that made me shudder.
He tried to see more details, but got nothing. His fear became more and more serious. His spirit was warning him frantically!
"Professor Su."

Chen Xiang greeted:
"You can leave now. The Outer Third Ring has been abandoned by the Great City. As long as the Secret Investigation Department's people don't enter the Outer Third Ring, nothing should happen."

After a pause, he added:

"But I got news that the Archbishop of Deep Void has arrived in the Great City. I don't know where he is hiding, but he will never attack you."

"The Archbishop of the Deep Void?"

Professor Su Luo's expression became serious:
“This guy actually came.”

"You know him?"

“I know Him, but He does not know me.”

Professor Su Luo said succinctly:

"This is a true giant at the level of a pseudo-god. I have seen the archbishop of the Hall of Knowledge before. That sense of greatness and powerlessness must be directed at the altar. You should be careful recently."

"I know."

Chen Xiang smiled, his expression becoming a little more profound:
"I came here to ask you some questions. You once asked me to wait in a basement in the Jiuhuan Saint Luo Square. If I guessed correctly, you wanted me to wait for the old altar, right?"

Professor Sura was not surprised and nodded with a wry smile:
"Originally, I engraved a time and space sign on the altar, intending to banish it to the void storm. It will naturally appear in the basement ten days later."

As he spoke, he sighed softly:

"Of course it's not possible now. The changes caused by the altar are beyond my imagination. I didn't consider it carefully before."

Chen Xiang's eyes lit up slightly. The biggest trouble in taking away the altar now was not the Spear of the End of Dimension that pierced through the altar, but the countless pairs of eyes staring at the altar!
He spoke quickly:
"Professor, if the altar is no longer pierced by the spear and sealed, will your beacon still work?"

"Yes." Professor Sura nodded affirmatively, and then his expression changed slightly: "You... no, our old parliament, are we going to make some moves? Which member will come in person?"

His expression turned serious:
"If possible, Xiao Chen, you must tell that congressman not to act rashly. The Great City has not taken away the altar yet, and it may be using it as bait!"

"It's not the congressman who came."

Chen Xiang also sat down cross-legged and said with a smile:
"It's me who's here."

"???" Three question marks appeared on Professor Sura's forehead. Chen Xiang just smiled and didn't explain too much:

"I have a way to break the seal, and I also have a way to escape, but I don't have a way to take the altar. Now that I'm sure your beacon can work, I'm determined."

"This"

Professor Su was shocked and a little worried:
"Child, be careful in everything."

"I understand. It's safe outside. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Professor Su Luo thought for a moment and realized that Chen Xiang wanted to use this strange secret room alone, so he nodded immediately:

"It's been a while since I last enjoyed the natural breeze. It's time to go out and take a look."

After he left,

Chen Xiang shook his wrist, and a huge red bull emerged.

The Big Black Bull has been storing soul essences for four days in his body. Calculated based on the rate, there are nearly three thousand standard soul essences!
According to the old rules, Chen Xiang took two thousand portions and gave the rest back to Big Black Bull.

As he held the Blood Stone in his hand, he silently absorbed two thousand soul essences. Naturally, he felt a sense of fullness and incomparable pleasure deep in his spirit.
Time passes little by little,
When Chen Xiang opened his eyes again, his soul essence had increased by more than three times! !

He realized that he had undergone a great transformation, not in his physical fitness, not in his soul strength, but
authority!

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the entire secret room was covered with pitch-black flames in an instant. He stood up, and the entire secret room shrouded in pitch-black flames was dragged into the shadows again!

"How could it be such a significant improvement? That's it."

Chen Xiang wakes up:

"I have established a connection with the nine dimensions, and the authority I have gained is coincidentally related to the dimensions."

He continued to experiment with his current power. The black flame had the power to burn a saint to death;

In terms of shadow authority, one can already actively drag some things into the shadows and drown them;

As for the virtualization of authority
Chen Xiang entered a virtual state, and then disappeared on the spot.

He was still there, but not quite there.

"Folding space, an advanced method of virtualization."

Chen Xiang stands at the back of the space, in the folds, not visible in reality. This is a very strange feeling, as if
Upgrade your dimension!

But it is not completely a dimensional upgrade, because one does not have a high-dimensional perspective.

"It seems that the power of the virtual and the power of the shadow can be combined, but I have no idea at the moment. I will develop it slowly in the future."

Chen Xiang withdrew the black flames, dispersed the shadows, and walked out of the folds of space. He patted the big black bull with a bright smile on his face:

"Cow, cow, you are really my lucky star."

As he spoke, the cracked tattoo on Chen Xiang's wrist twisted and turned into a mirror.

"Moo!!!"

The big black bull let out a frightened cry.

"What's your name? Are you hungry too? Don't worry, eat as much as you want!"

Chen Xiang spoke boldly:
"Mirror, go to Ghost!"

"As you wish!" The mirror responded cheerfully, reflecting a hazy light. Ghosts emerged from the void one after another, consciously and honestly rushing towards the big black bull. "Moo! Moo! Moo!!"

The big black bull closed its mouth tightly and shook its head frantically, but saw the ghosts entangle it, forcefully pry open its mouth, and then crawl in.
One, a hundred, a thousand
The ghosts in the secret room were soon exhausted, and before Big Black Bull could catch his breath, the mirror expanded the summoning range.

Time passed quickly, and by the time dawned outside, then set, and then dawned again, a full 190,000 ghosts had entered the big black bull's stomach.

Unlike the last time, Big Black Bull had a bloated stomach this time, and the efficiency of swallowing ghosts was extremely low, so it took a day and a half.
Chen Xiang looked at the big black cow lying on the ground, rolling its eyes and hanging its tongue, and waved his hand regretfully:

"Okay, let's stop here, Niu'er, your appetite is still too small."

"moo"

The big black bull responded weakly. He was very angry and resentful, but he didn't have the strength to shout out.

It felt that its future was bleak, and it might even become the only one in the history of the great evil bull clan to die of starvation.
"There are 400,000 souls in total. I calculated that the daily output should be around 1,200, which means 36,000 soul essences in a month."

Chen Xiang smiled happily, and made up his mind that after this matter was over, he would be a wretched person for a while, but it didn't need to be too long.
After swallowing the essence of souls for a few years, by that time, the strength of one's own soul, although not comparable to that of the Outer Gods, would at least not be much worse than that of the True Gods, right?
He put the half-dead black bull into the mirror world and was about to put the mirror away when the crazy mirror reminded him:

"You need to be aware that Jerusalem is not a good place."

"What do you mean? You know Him?"

"I just recognized him yesterday. He is the crippled old man I told you about!" Crazy Mirror was filled with righteous indignation: "A lowly, evil, shameless servant!"

Chen Xiang was delighted, having realized that it was Sarah who had sacrificed the Mad Mirror to the subspace.
He knocked on the mirror and cursed with a smile:

"Okay, don't take revenge on someone else. You said that someone is not a good person, but you can tell me more about it."

"I forgot!"

The mirror argued:

"You know I forgot a lot after I went crazy! But I just know that He is a bad guy!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you can't beat Him. You've been abused by Him, so He must be a bad guy, right?"

"Oh no, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Mirror said angrily:

"How could I not be able to defeat Him? Don't you see who I am? Also, if you don't listen to the Invincible Mirror King, you will suffer!"

Chen Xiang was looking at the mirror with a mad smile, this little guy.
When the mirror was almost gone, Chen Xiang turned it back into a crack tattoo, reinforced the secret room with a time loop rune, and then left.

Before leaving, Chen Xiang looked at his cell phone.

1518, April 6.

Only five days had passed since the Eighth Ring Incident, but he felt like it had been a long time.

………………

Rushing back to the Sixth Ring Road, Chen Xiang followed the instructions of the college staff and found the new home of his eldest sister and second brother not far from the college building.

The Sixth Ring Road was special, and there were no villas. However, the academy demolished a square and built a villa in just half a day using extraordinary people.
As soon as Chen Xiang entered the room, he heard his elder sister complaining:
"When I go out in the morning, people nearby are pointing and talking. Their eyes and expressions are so weird. It's so annoying!"

"Sister, it's not a big deal. Isn't this a good thing? It means that the academy values ​​our little brother, little brother?"

Chen Xin was the first to see Chen Xiang. Chen Shaoyan also glanced sideways and stood up suddenly.

"Big sister, second brother, I'm back."

Chen Xiang smiled:

"Good news. I found little Salem. He is in the hospital now. I will take him back soon."

As he was in an increasingly turbulent situation, Chen Xiang became more and more worried about his family.
He reached an agreement with Jerusalem that he would take the altar himself, but the family would be taken care of by Jerusalem.

Chen Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked nervously:

"Little brother, what about Chen Xiaoya? Have you found her whereabouts?"

Chen Xiang was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"Sister, don't worry. I have some news about Shaya, but we can't bring her back now. I can't tell you the details."

Chen Shaoyan and Chen Xin nodded silently without asking any further questions.

The three siblings were silent for a while.
Chen Shaoyan stood up and walked towards the kitchen:
"Everyone who comes back counts. It's good that they can come back. It's good that they can come back."

"I didn't prepare the ingredients in advance. I made you tomato fried egg noodles for lunch. You used to love it. Will you stay a few more days after you come back?"

Listening to the expectant voice of his elder sister, Chen Xiang glanced at the message that Xiao Wei had just sent on his phone, stopped saying goodbye, and sighed softly:
"Sister, I'll leave after I finish my noodles."

"Okay, okay, keep busy, keep busy."

Chen Shaoyan's voice sounded a little lonely, but he didn't say anything more.

Chen Xiang sat quietly on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone, and looked at the message sent by Xiao Wei.

"Old Chen, hurry, hurry!"

"Before I found the boss, my sixth brother found me!"

"This bastard has called in the Secret Investigation Department!"

"I'm running towards Jiuhuan, come and save my life!"

Chen Xiang laughed and shook his head, knowing that Xiao Wei's situation was not urgent, it was just a meeting between brother and sister.
He was still careful and separated a part of his own shadow and fled into the distance.
