Chapter 128
Hundreds of meters above the air, Su Yang and Qiuyue were standing on a wooden boat, their gazes on the small animal that took care of its own business miles in the distance, watching its every little movement, watching its small, 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.
"This is not a storage-type Spiritual Treasure but …"
"But?"
After a moment of silence, Su Yang spoke with a pondering expression, "It seems like some sort of Spiritual Treasure related to curses."
"Curse? Then our clue ..." Qiuyue let out a loud sigh.
Their chances of finding clues that would help them return home in this place became even slimmer.
"However, there is something strange about it now that I take a closer look," Su Yang said.
"Any? What is so strange about Spiritual Treasures? I don't see anything wrong with that."
Su Yang shook his head and said, "It is not a Spiritual Treasure. There's something strange about Ghost Cats. Although I can't pinpoint exactly what this feeling is, I'm sure there's something wrong with it. I have seen several Ghost Cats in my life, but they all feel different when compared to this one. "
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 managed to tame some 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 'some' Ghost 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 in the four heavenly Heavens.
"But what does this have to do with us? We still won't get a clue from him."
"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 didn't it run away the moment it saw us?"
"It might run, but I have a feeling that it's not going to happen. Did you see how it stood still despite being surrounded by humans on all sides when we first saw it? Too arrogant and arrogant. Probably won't walk away on sight believing that nothing can exceed it, and that's true. "
"Then what if it attacks you?" Qiuyue asked because he barely knew anything about the Ghost Cat and its nature.
"In addition to their insane and almost unrivalled speed, they had a combat ability of slightly to zero and could at most injure normal people or people with weak Cultivation bases, he said, 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 top of his four 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 to play with, it lazily lay bored, 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 unable to feel such intention coming from Su Yang, the light of hope in his eyes dimmed, and his gaze grew cold.
Su Yang continued to calmly approach the Ghost Cat despite her cold gaze. As soon as he was only a few meters away, he said in a calm voice, "Regardless of your limited knowledge, you should be able to understand my words."
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 without a care, "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 check it out 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 of a friend of mine who adores Ghost Cats to the extreme. If I leave you alone knowing that something is wrong with you, I won't be able to deal with it without guilt by the time we meet next. "
"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 in its path to block it, and it would reach it without warning Su Yang or Qiuyue. There was no wind, not even the slightest sound, there was 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 time he spent with his friend and his Ghost Cats.
"yeah? What do you want?" he then said it.
"…"
Although the Ghost Cat could not 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 memory before this place, he had been searching for a purpose in his life, he said, and when man began to appear recently, he found 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 week since.
The Ghost Cat meowed at Su Yang, almost like telling him to stay, and somehow he understood his feelings.
"I've got what I came for, there's no more 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 the heavenly Heaven, he did not dare to let such an existence roam freely, either, fearing the chaos that could be wrought in this world without anyone to stop it due to its extreme speed, made it an untouched existence in this world where the heavenly Spirit Realm was the pinnacle.
"I will let you out of this place once we return to the heavenly Heavens, 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 took one knee and lifted the necklace to take a closer look, even pouring some of his Profound Qi to examine it inside.
A moment later, his calm eyes widened in shock. "This Heaven-Level Spiritual Treasure contains an immortal-level curse! And that was even the famous Spirit Vengeance curse!"
"Spirit Retaliation? What kind of curse is that?" Qiuyue asked after hearing him speak out loud.
"It was a profound curse that robbed the survivors 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 experts even in the Ancient Profound Qi Realm!"
"Such powerful curses are only at the Immortal level?" Qiuyue asked in a surprised voice.
"Well, while it was extremely powerful, it could be eliminated easily.Damn, even someone in the True Spirit Realm like me can eliminate it if they know the right technique."
"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, these were usually used by Beast Tamers in Heaven's Path to tame powerful ferocious beasts."
Su Yang looked at the Ghost Cat and wondered how he could be stuck with such a curse.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Cat was stunned by the revelation. No wonder why Profound Qi has not risen a little even lately! Ever since finding this gorgeous necklace and wearing it, it had the Profound Qi blocked by this curse!
"Meow!" The Ghost Cat started meowing in frustration and embarrassment, mainly due to her own stupidity.
It 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 will be a little complicated, especially since I don't have the resources to eliminate it 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 at times 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?"
“ Anyway, 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 curses intended, but I finally found a way to eliminate the Spirit Vengeance."
"Huh?" Although there was nothing with Su Yang's 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 without any sound coming 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.
A little 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 .." said Su Yang 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 violently with its silver feathers dancing like tall grass in the windy meadow.
Seeing this, Su Yang's eyes widened warily. "Qiuil! Get back!" he shouted loudly.
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 went on, the silver fur of the Ghost Cat would start 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 the Qiuyue Cultivation base by a large margin.
"I-This .." Qiuyue was surprised by the sudden change, even more so, the Cultivation base.
"Ancient Nature!"
When Qiuyue realized that the Ghost Cat Cultivation base was actually in the Ancient Realm, his face became full of terror. After all, the Ancient Realm, just like the Mortal Realm and the heavenly 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 the Ghost Cat 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 a way, the ancestors of all Ghost Cats!
