Ghost Emperor Becomes God

Cen Gan lay on the ground, watching Yunniang step by step out of the thatched hut. It seemed that she became a different person with every step she took, until finally, her appearance, clothing, and behavior slowly became no different from those of an ordinary person. Cen Gan was shocked, this was the step of all living beings.

For some reason, Cen Gan suddenly had this technique in his mind, the Living Beings Step. One step could make one ascend to immortality and become a god, and one step could make one return to the mortal world. To practice this technique, one had to see all kinds of things in the world. After seeing a person's entire life, one could simulate any period of that person's life.

"Yunniang, who are you?" Cen Gan fell into deep thought, but soon he fell asleep. After all, he was still a baby.

Yunniang cut bamboos in the bamboo forest like an ordinary person, cutting and splitting them one by one, and then piled them near the hut. She planned to build a fence.

"Wow!" Cen Gan woke up and cried reflexively. He was like an ordinary baby, who liked Yunniang to rush over, pick him up, coax him gently, and feed him milk.

When Yunniang heard the baby crying, she realized that it was already noon and it was time to make a fire, cook and feed the child.

Cen Gan sucked the milk greedily, and he found that the taste of the milk had changed, mixed with spiritual energy, demonic energy, fairy energy, and a hint of worldly air.

"Yunniang!" Cen Gan sent a voice message: "Why did the taste of your milk change?"

Yunniang smiled and said, "It's up to my heart."

"What about your children?" Cen Gan asked leisurely.

It is an indisputable fact that women can only produce milk after giving birth. Other wet nurses should have returned to their own families, so why did Yunniang stay with him? What about her child?

"My child now is you, Xiaogan." Yunniang whispered, "Don't ask anything anymore, you will remember it later."

At this time, Yunniang was sitting on the threshold of the thatched hut holding Cen Gan and feeding him milk, while Cen Gan didn't think about it anymore and drank the milk seriously. They looked like an ordinary mother and son.

Three years later.

The thatched house was still the same as before, but now it was surrounded by a bamboo fence, making it look like a medium-sized courtyard. The ground in front of the house was paved with a layer of stones, and a medium-sized stone table and several irregular stone benches were placed not far from the door. In the yard, some common vegetables were planted and some chickens were raised.

A little boy in coarse cloth was doing boxing in the dam. It was Cen Gan.

"Xiao Gan, stop practicing and eat." Yunniang walked out of the house with a plate of sweet potatoes and two eggs in her hands.

"Mom, I can't feel the fist anymore," Cen Gan sat on the stone bench in frustration, "Why?"

Cen Gan felt that his body was like a bottomless pit. As long as he returned to the hut, he would continue to absorb energy. However, everything seemed to be in vain and his body could not feel any strength at all.

He clearly felt that his body had been transformed very well by the immortal energy, but he just couldn't mobilize his spiritual and magical powers.

"Xiao Gan, don't worry!" Yunniang comforted Cen Gan, "Maybe you are still young, you will be fine when you grow up."

"Really?" Cen Gan's eyes were very deep at this time.

"I think so." Yunniang's eyes were evasive and her tone was evasive.

"Mom, you are not good at lying. I want the truth!" Cen Gan was a little angry.

"Xiao Gan, I'm sorry." Yunniang said sincerely, "They betrayed you at the beginning. I was angry and forcibly moved out of the Fairy and Demon Courtyard before you woke up. Your father said that if we moved out by force, it would cause harm to you."

"Then wake me up!" Cen Gan was speechless. No wonder he felt pain in his body at that time.

"But you were so drunk that you couldn't be woken up. And the situation was so critical."

"But the situation is even more critical now. I can't practice!" Cen Gan was speechless.

"Of course you can. You're still young, so it might be fixed when you grow up." Yunniang said uncertainly, "And your father said that if there's an emergency, you can leave by force. He must know that you'll get better, it just takes time." Then, Yunniang said with certainty, "Yes, that must be the case! It's just a matter of time."

Is it really just a matter of time? Cen Gan couldn't believe it, but what could he do if he didn't believe it? His body was only three years old now, and his soul was sealed inside his body. He had no choice but to wait.

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

The area around the previously lonely thatched hut has gradually become populated by people, forming a small village.

"Brother Xiaogan, my father hunted a third-level wild boar from the deep mountains. My mother asked my aunt and brother Xiaogan to come to my house for dinner." A little girl of seven or eight years old stood outside the yard and greeted Cen Gan.

At this time, Cen Gan was practicing boxing. He finished a set slowly and then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sister Xiaofeng, why don't I see you often recently?"

Xiaofeng is the only girl in the village. Her family of three got lost in the mountains and decided to settle down here because they thought the place was beautiful.

There were two other households, one of which was a young couple who appeared to have eloped, and the other was a man who looked very vicious.

Despite this, the three men in the village often went hunting together, and whenever they caught something good they would gather together for a big meal.

"Brother Xiaogan, I'm going to study in a nearby town." Xiaofeng answered happily.

"Oh." Cen Gan responded casually. He suddenly realized that Xiao Feng's cultivation had risen to the level of magic master without him noticing. The cultivation levels in the magic world, spirit world and ghost world are the same, divided into six levels: apprentice, master, general, lord, emperor and master.

And Cen Gan's current cultivation level should not even be considered a demon disciple or a spiritual disciple, right? Cen Gan felt a little disappointed. He was really unwilling to accept his ghost-level soul!

Several families had dinner together, and Xiaofeng enthusiastically talked about the interesting things she experienced in college.

"Xiao Gan's mother," Xiao Feng's mother suddenly said, "I think Xiao Gan is not young anymore, and it's time for him to go to school. It only takes half an hour to get to the nearby town by flying boat. The academy where Xiao Feng is studying not only teaches literacy, but also teaches the cultivation methods of demon spirits. How about I ask Xiao Feng's father to ask the academy to donate some spirit stones or magic stones to the academy so that Xiao Gan can go to school?"

"Thank you! No thanks." Yunniang's tone was a little evasive, "Xiao Gan doesn't have the talent for cultivation, so don't waste your money."

Xiaofeng's mother seemed to see Yunniang's embarrassment. She held Yunniang's hand and said, "Little godmother, I know it's hard for you as a woman to be injured and have a child. We will find a way to help you with the tuition. If Xiaogan really can't practice, it's also good for him to go to school and learn to read. He can become a formation master or a fortune teller in the future, or even study literature. The time for children's enlightenment is only a few years, so don't waste it."

"Mom, I'll go!" Cen Gan said loudly. He must find a way to start practicing again.

"But..." Yunniang looked embarrassed.

"It's okay. Daddy Xiaofeng will send one child or two. Don't worry."

"Don't worry, auntie. I'm very capable. The teacher said that I am the most talented and fastest-developing student in the academy. I promise to protect my little brother well." Xiao Feng said proudly, patting his chest.

Cen Gan glanced at her small bean sprout-like figure and thought, how can you guarantee that she doesn't have any flesh on her breasts?

Seeing this, Yunniang agreed reluctantly.

Cen Gan has been suffering in the past few years. He is unable to store energy in his body. Although his body is comparable to that of an immortal, he cannot fight or run. No matter how strong he is, he is at best a meat shield.

Cen Gan followed Xiao Feng and her daughter to a nearby town. Seeing Xiao Feng leading Cen Gan out of the flying boat, everyone around him looked at him with envy. In this no-man's land, those who dared to fly a flying boat openly were generally very powerful and no one dared to mess with them.

Because of Feizhou, Cen Gan also got some benefits, and the dean and tutors of the academy came out to welcome the three of them. Cen Gan was a little surprised, did Xiaofeng always make such a big fuss every time he went to school?

Xiao Feng's father seemed to see what Cen Gan was thinking, and gently touched Cen Gan's head. In fact, he had always been very low-key, and usually put away the flying boat near the school. This time, it was mainly to find a place for Cen Gan. After all, if a child who can't practice has a strong person behind him to support him, his life in the academy will be much better.

"Greetings from this senior." The dean of the academy saluted Xiao Feng's father. After seeing the three people's appearance clearly, he asked, "Who is this young friend?"

Xiaofeng's father laughed and said, "Hello, Dean Huang! This is my useless nephew from a distant family. I wonder if it will be convenient for him to attend classes with Xiaofeng in the future."

Dean Huang did not examine Cen Gan either. He bowed and said to Xiao Feng's father, "It's convenient. It's an honor that you are willing to entrust your child to me. It's an honor!"

Xiaofeng's father was also a smart man. He stuffed a storage ring into Dean Huang's hand and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."

Dean Huang was delighted holding the storage ring. In such a small place, it was already great to have a storage ring, not to mention the things inside.

"What's your name?" Dean Huang held Cen Gan's hand.

"My name is Xiaogan." Cen Gan said calmly.

Dean Huang frowned. Girls were named casually, but it was rare for boys to not even have a surname. He just thought that the rich family didn't want to reveal their names.

"Come, Xiaogan, let me test you." Dean Huang put Cen Gan's hand on a stone without saying anything. This is a special stone that will display different colors according to the detected Qi in the body.

When Cen Gan put his hand on it, the stone did not change at all. Dean Huang injected spiritual power into Cen Gan's body, and the spiritual power was continuously absorbed, but Cen Gan seemed to be fine.

"This..." This was the first time Dean Huang encountered such a situation. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Cen Gan seemed to have expected such a situation. He did not expect people in a small place to be able to see his problem. He still had to find a way to solve it himself. Was his immortal body really going to be wasted?
