Double Cultivation
spirit vengeance
Hundreds of meters above the air, Su Yang and Qiuyue were standing on a wooden boat, their gazes on the small animals taking care of their own business in the distance, watching over his every little move, watching his every little one, it was almost like they were playing gods.
They had been standing there for a few minutes now, quietly checking the necklace that was around the Ghost Cat's neck.
"it's not a Spiritual treasure type but .." Su Yang said.
"But?"
After a moment of silence, Su Yang spoke with a brooding expression, "It seems like it's some kind of Spiritual Treasure related to curses."
"Curse? Then our clue ..." Qiuyue sighed loudly.
Their chances of finding the clues that would help them return home in this place became even thinner.
"However, there is something strange about it now when I take a closer look," Su Yang said.
"Any? What is so strange about Spiritual Treasures? I don't see anything wrong with that."
"It's Not a Spiritual Treasure. There's something strange about Ghost Cats. Even though I can't show you exactly what this feeling is, I'm sure there's something wrong with it. I've seen some ghost cats in my life, but they all feel different when compared to this one. " Su Yang shook his head saying.
Qiuyue looked at him with a surprised expression. He saw a few Ghost Cats in his life although it was rare?
"I became acquainted with this powerful individual who had successfully tamed several Ghost Cats and inadvertently became familiar with them because of my relationship with him … "
Hearing this, Qiuyue was shocked. Who would be willing to put in a lot of effort and resources to tame not just one, but several 'Hostling Cats' that were known to be extremely rare and hard to find, let alone tame them and their arrogant nature.
And for Su Yang to refer to this individual as 'strong', he had to be a peak expert within the four Divine Heavens.
"But what does this have to do with us? We still won't get a clue from him." Qiuyue.
"You're right, but this feeling coming from him bothers me the longer I see him."
After a moment of silence, Su Yang suddenly said, "Take me to the Ghost Cat, I want to take a closer look."
"Eh? But won't it run away once it sees us?" Qiuyue was surprised.
"It might run, but I have a feeling that it's not going to happen. Did you see how he stood still despite being surrounded by humans on all sides when we first saw him? he was too confident and arrogant. Probably won't run away believing that no one can surpass him, and that's true. " Su Yang said.
"Then what if it attacks you?" Qiuyue asked as he knew almost nothing about the Ghost Cat and its nature.
"In addition to their insane and almost unrivalled speed, they had slightly zero combat abilities and could at most injure normal people or those with weak cultivation bases, either, not to mention their non-hostile nature. I'll be fine."
Qiuyue nodded and ordered the boat to descend to where the Ghost Cat was resting.

After noticing his presence, the Ghost Cat raised its head to look at the wooden boat in the sky.
He stood on all four of his limbs and looked at him with bright eyes.
Ever since all humans disappeared from thin air like ghosts, his excitement from being chased disappeared with them. And without anyone playing, he lazily lay down, quietly wondering where everyone was going.
However, there were now more humans to play with, so happily waited for them to finish descending without running away.
As soon as the wooden ship landed, Su Yang began to approach the Ghost Cat in small steps while Qiuyue remained inside the boat.
The Ghost Cat silently watched his every move, hoping he would play with it. But when it could not feel such intent coming from Su Yang, the light of hope in its eyes dimmed, and its gaze turned cold.
Su Yang continued to calmly approach the Ghost Cat despite her cold gaze. As soon as he was only a few meters away from it, he said in a calm voice.
"Regardless of your limited knowledge, you should be able to understand my words." Su Yang said.
The Ghost Cat did not react after hearing his words, almost like it did not understand the words he had just said.
However, Su Yang continued to speak regardless, "I can feel a sense of irregularity within your Profound Qi, and it might be caused by the Spiritual Treasure around your neck."
"If you want, I can see it for you."
"… "
After a moment of silence, the Ghost Cat suddenly meowed with a watchful tone.
Su Yang shook his head and said,
"It's okay if you don't believe me, it's not like I really care. The only reason why I even bother to approach you is because my friend who adores Ghost Cats is so extreme. If I leave you alone when I know that something is wrong with you, I won't be able to deal with it without guilt the next time we meet. "
"But now that I've approached you, I won't feel guilty, at least I'm trying to help."
After saying those words, Su Yang turned around and started walking back to the wooden boat where Qiuyue was waiting for.
However, when Su Yang was halfway back to Qiuyue's side, a small figure appeared in front of him out of thin air like a real ghost.
The Ghost Cat had placed itself on its path to block him, and it reached Su Yang without warning Su Yang or Qiuyue. There was no wind, not even the slightest sound, nothing ..it was almost like a teleport in front of him.
"The absurd speed of you Ghost Cats is astounding, no matter how many times I see it ..." Su Yang showed a slight smile as he recalled the moments he spent with his friend and his Ghost Cats.
"yeah? What do you want?", then he said it.
"… "
Although the Ghost Cat was unable to speak, her gaze was filled with a desire to communicate, having never seen a human like Su Yang. Ever since it appeared in this desolate world one day suddenly hundreds of years ago and with no memories before this place, he had been searching for a purpose in his life, he had been searching for a purpose in his life, and when man begins to appear recently, he finds joy in life for the first time.
But alas, one day, like their sudden appearance, they disappeared all of a sudden, and it has been a whole week since.
The Ghost Cat meowed towards Su Yang, almost like telling him to stay, and somehow he understood his feelings.
"I've got what I came for, there's no reason for me to stay" he said calmly.
But the Ghost Cat refused and continued to block his path.
"… "
Su Yang wanted to release this Ghost Cat into the wild and let it roam freely, but since this was not a Divine Heaven, he did not dare to let such an existence roam freely, instead, fearing the chaos that could occur in this world without anyone to stop it due to its extreme speed, made it an untouched existence in this world where the Divine Spirit Realm was the peak.
"I'll let you out of this place once we return to Divine Heaven, so just hold it for now."
"Meow!" Hearing his words, the Ghost Cat meowed loudly, her gaze filled with admiration. How is this human being able to understand his desires without the need to speak? Never met such a human although thousands of humans have seen it so far.
Then it slowly approached Su Yang, even tilting his head to show him the necklace, almost as if it was telling him to look at it.
Seeing the action, Su Yang smiled inwardly. While Ghost Cats are arrogant in nature, they are much funnier creatures, so when they get bored out of their minds, it will do anything that will dispel their boredom, he said, even if they had to lower their consciousness.
Su Yang then lowered one knee and lifted the necklace to take a closer look, even pouring out a portion of his Profound Qi to check inside.
A moment later, his calm eyes widened in shock. "This Heaven-Level Spiritual Treasure contains an eternal curse! And that was even the famous Spirit Vengeance curse!"
"Spirit Retaliation? What kind of curse is that?" Qiuyue asked after hearing him speak loudly.
"This is a profound curse that robs the victims of all Profound Qi, sealing their cultivation completely! No wonder why I felt that there was something strange about his Profound Qi! It can completely deny even the Qi of experts in the Ancient Realm! "
"A curse as potent as that is only at the Immortal level?" Qiuyue asked in a surprised voice.
"Well, while it was extremely powerful, it could be eliminated easily.Damn it, even someone in the True Spirit Realm like me can kick him out if they know the right technique." Su Yang said.
"Eh? Then doesn't that make it almost useless?"
"For humans, yes. But for a savage beast like this Ghost Cat who knew nothing? It can be very powerful. Also, it was usually used by the beast handlers in the divine heaven to tame powerful beasts."
Su Yang looked at the Ghost Cat and wondered how he could be stuck with such a curse.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Cat was dumbfounded by his revelation. No wonder why Profound Qi has not risen a little even lately! Ever since finding this beautiful necklace and wearing it, her Profound Qi was blocked by this curse!
"Meow! " The Ghost Cat started meowing in frustration and embarrassment, mainly because of her own stupidity.
he then looked at Su Yang with begging eyes, hoping that he could dispel this curse.
"You want me to help you with this curse? Well, it's not impossible, but it'll be a little complicated, especially since I don't have the resources to dispel the curse right now." said Su Yang.
Meanwhile, Qiuyue secretly watched the spectacular sight of Su Yang communicating with the cat as if it was a human. It was something he never expected to come from her, even feeling it was rather cute.
"He can be very apathetic when it comes to humans, but he seems to be open with animals .. Could it be because of his strong 'friend' with the Ghost Cat?"
"Just give me a minute." After saying that, Su Yang sat down and closed his eyes, almost like he was cultivating.
The Ghost Cat did not interrupt Su Yang and also sat down as if she was about to take a nap, but her eyes were fixed on Su Yang's charming face. Of the many humans he had seen so far, he was definitely the most pleasant.
After a few minutes of total silence, approaching the hour mark, Su Yang finally opened his eyes.
"It took me some time to search for this technique because I had many techniques with only a few meant for curses, but I finally found a way to repel these curses."
"Huh?" "Although there were no Su Yang words, Qiuyue expressed a puzzled expression.
"It took me all this time to look for a technique? What did he mean by those words? It was as if he had a library of cultivation techniques in his head .. "he wondered inwardly.
"OK, come here so that I can begin to dispel the curse," Su Yang urged the Ghost Cat to come closer.
The Ghost Cat was no longer wary of Su Yang and obediently approached him with a subtle movement.
So close enough, Su Yang placed his hand on the necklace and started muttering silently out of his mouth. A few seconds later, his hand began to glow a bright yellow color.
Time slowly passed. The few seconds quickly turned into a few minutes, and before he came to his senses, two hours had passed in the blink of an eye.
Shortly after the two-hour mark, Su Yang finally opened his eyes, and the light around his hands dimmed until it disappeared.
"We should be able to remove the necklace now .." Su Yang said as his hand slowly removed the necklace from the Ghost Cat's neck.
When the necklace came out without any problems, Su Yang pointed out and smiled and said, "You should be fine now."
However, just as he said those words, the Ghost Cat began to tremble with its silver feathers dancing like tall grass in the windy meadow.
Seeing this, Su Yang's eyes widened warily. "Qiuil! Come back!" It's calling out loud.
Qiuyue immediately reacted to his words and activated the wooden boat and distanced himself from the scene. As for Su Yang, he activated the Nine Astral Steps and quickly distanced himself several meters away from the Ghost Cat.
The Ghost Cat continued to act strangely on the spot, almost like it was evolving. And as time passed, the silver fur of the Ghost Cat began to emit a white light, even turning slightly transparent, becoming more like a 'ghost' cat'. His body also shrank in size, becoming smaller. However, as compensation, his Profound Qi rose exponentially, even surpassing Qiuyue's cultivation base by a large margin.
"I-This ..." Qiuyue was surprised by the sudden change, even more, of the cultivation base.
"Ancient Nature!"
When Qiuyue realized that the Ghost Cat's true cultivation base was in the Ancient Realm, his face became full of terror. After all, the Ancient Realm, just like the Mortal Realm and Divine Realm, was the entire world above before!
Meanwhile, Su Yang was also filled with shock. However, he was not surprised by the profound cultivation base. Instead, he was shocked speechless by her sinister appearance.
"G-Ghost Cat my ass! This thing was phantom paint all this time!"
Phantom Cats, unlike Ghost Cats, were not only extremely fast but also had powerful spiritual attacks. Although they usually had the same appearance, when a Phantom Cat activated its Profound Qi, it evolved into a spirit-like existence, making its movements faster and not even affected by all physical injuries! They were like the superior variations of the Ghost Cat and in other words the ancestors of all Ghost Cats!
