"I am a... ghost?! Or should I say, I have a ghost inside me? Could I be sharing my body with a ghost?"

Fang Yuan’s thoughts were confused.

"It’s impossible!"

He tried to ignore the possibilities of a ghost in him. "If this is true, how can I not be aware of it?"

The more he thought about it, the more he would think about the incident where the servant who was bringing food to his room had mysteriously disappeared and was once again uncertain about the facts.

"Family head! What’s happening?"

The few elders realised that Fang Yuan’s reaction was unexpected. "Is he really awakened?"

It would be normal if Fang Yuan were to go on a killing spree if he was a real ghost. After all, a ghost would naturally hate the living.

Therefore, Tantai Mieming’s reaction was not normal.

This would mean that all their previous sacrifices were naught, which made them start to panic.

"He must have awakened! Otherwise, how would he able to freeze Jueqing? We know how strong Jueqing is!"

Tantai Guijing gazed at her severed hand and his eyelid started to twitch. "However, he is able to perfectly control his powers! This is unbelievable!"

His face was filled with excitement as he glared at Fang Yuan. "Regardless, we have given you this body for you to inhabit! It feels good to be human once again, right? For this, shouldn’t you feel obliged to help us? After all, you are still a part of the Tantai Family and are still under the family curse! Helping us would also mean to help yourself!"

Tantai Guijing was a sly fox. He had already planned for all these from the moment they had guided the ghost into this body.

Whoever gets the blood of the Tantai Family would be cursed! Even if the person were to change a body in the future, the curse would still be there!

If changing a body would allow them to break free from the curse, the Tantai Family would have done so long ago. This was an unbreakable curse!

"In order to remove this curse, we need to go to the ’Door’. Tonight, we shall open the netherworld..."

Tantai Guijing’s face became flushed with excitement.

"I refuse!"

Fang Yuan was decisive. "I want to leave this place. Of course, I will promise you that I will return in 20 years time to help you resolve this problem!"

Of course, Fang Yuan was interested about the ’Door’. Furthermore, this would be the secret behind the curse on the Tantai Family.

Although he knew that the family would reject his request, Fang Yuan would still nevertheless made his request known.

"Leave? For 20 years?"

All of their expressions changed. "That’s impossible. You are the tool which we created. You will have to listen to our orders!"

"If that is so... I’m sorry, the discussion is over."

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders.

"It seems like we’ve been treating you too well, and you have forgotten something... We have allowed you to possessed our family member’s body for us to be able to control you!"

An elder stood out with a cold look. "Leader... do it!"

Without waiting for Guijing to speak, he immediately retrieved a bronze bell and shook it firmly.

"Clang! Clang!"

The bell appeared ancient-looking and there were many carvings on the outside. On the surface of the bell, there was a layer of green rust. With a firm shake, the bell gave off a distinct ring.

"It’s not too bad. Continue sounding it!"

Fang Yuan appeared indifferent.

"How is this possible?"

The elder opened his eyes wide. "I have poisoned you with 13 types of poisonous worms. How can you remain unaffected?"

Fang Yuan snickered.

Every month during the ritual, the Tantai Family had always wanted to deal with Fang Yuan. Of course, he would have to think of a solution to resist.

These poisonous worms were of the lowest quality and were flushed out of Fang Yuan’s system as soon as the rituals were over.

Although Fang Yuan did not display his might in the past, having the willpower of a True Divine would allow him to gain delicate control over his own body, up to the point where a normal human would not be able to imagine.

’The only problem is... I am able to purge the visible poisonous worms but not the invisible ones.’

Fang Yuan thought to himself as his pair of hands started to shake.

"It is still effective!"

The few elders were absolutely sure of it as they took out their weird equipment. Some of them started to chant their own matras and one of the elders even started to shout loudly. "Head... If you don’t want to die, then do it!"

"Sigh..."

Tantai Guijing sighed before taking out a mirror and pointing it towards Fang Yuan.

In the mirror, there was an image of a 5-year-old kid which resembled Fang Yuan. However, the child remained emotionless as he started to stretch his hands out towards Fang Yuan.

In the real world, Fang Yuan remained motionless as though he was desolated.

"This is indeed the powerful inherited treasure of the family head. The Ghost Calming Mirror will be able to stun even the most powerful ghost!"

The rest of the elders were elated as they quickened their actions.

A rune was printed on Fang Yuan’s body and it started to spread like an earthworm. Within moments, it had already covered more than half of Fang Yuan’s body.

The Tantai Family were experts in dealing with ghosts and had many tricks up their sleeves.

They were using their most powerful techniques against this one.

Every month, they would smear fresh blood on Tantai Meiming in an attempt to curse him! It was an extremely dangerous act on its own and even elders would risk death doing it. Furthermore, it would attract all kinds of supernatural dangers.

However, the effects were astonishing.

Just as the rune was almost covering Fang Yuan’s entire face, there was a dim glow in his eye.

"The best outcome would be to let him willingly help is. Unfortunately... we can only use our last resort, using him as the tool to allow us to complete our curse on the ’Door’!"

Tantai Guijing sighed. "Prepare to... open the netherworld! Also, lock Jueqing up."

All the elders were overwhelmed with emotions of all sorts.

Outside, many members of the Tantai Family were already waiting. They were donned in a black attire and held tools in their hands as they appeared well-prepared for what was about to come next.

As soon as they heard the order, they immediately took action.

Tantai Guijing and the rest brought Fang Yuan to the Hall of Sacrifice.

The place of connection to the netherworld was there!

"Woooo!"

A bewildering fog appeared in the surroundings. It covered the sky and light could only seep through the fog. It was as though they had arrived in another world.

’They... They don’t intend to remove the curse. Instead, they are treating me as a sacrifice to tide through this cycle!’

Fang Yuan’s consciousness was still attempting to struggle in the final moments.

The Tantai Family had a few intentions as they watched Fang Yuan grow. If Fang Yuan was able to mature, they would risk it all to attempt to remove the curse.

However, this cycle seemed especially dangerous and even the head and the elders were not confident of tiding through it. Therefore, they had prepared to sacrifice him to mitigate the effects on themselves.

’I think that I will not be the only one entering the netherworld this time!’

Fang Yuan could sense a huge danger approaching. ’If I cannot escape... I will die!’

’I have no other choice!’

He had made up his mind. Absorbing the mutated dream elemental force, his willpower started to focus on the question marks in his stats window.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The entire stats window started to shake violently. In an instant, the unknown fog started to dissipate and the question marks beside his techniques turned into a new number and more information flooded the stats window:

’Active Physical Property - Spirit Sealing Body!’

’Spirit Sealing Body (1st Grade): Your body is a weapon which is able to seal evil ghosts. You will able to seal any ghost that you come into contact with into your body! You have activated the 1st Grade, and the capacity for sealing evil ghosts: 1! You can choose to release the ghost!’

"According to this realm, since souls and curses cannot be destroyed, this ability to seal ghosts in me might just be the most powerful..."

Fang Yuan felt a little confused. "How did it appear?"

The advent of evil ghosts would surely not bring with them the counter to their own kind. Fang Yuan knew himself and knew that this was not a skill of Tantai Mieming’s, but his own.

"Could it be that... I have the blood of the Tantai Family?"

The Tantai Family was a renowned family of exorcists. Their blood would have the unique gene which might activate certain abilities in their descendants.

After eliminating all the possibilities, even though this explanation might sound absurd, it was the only one!

"Initially, Tantai Juexin and Su Xin’s child would have the greatest potential among the people of the Tantai Family. He would be able to awaken the property to seal spirits, becoming the last hope of his family!"

The blood of the Tantai Family already had the potential to mutate by itself. It was only normal for the ability to counter ghosts to be mutated from the people of the Tantai Family.

Fang Yuan had even suspected that this child might just be a Fate Soul created by the realm’s last ditch attempt to save itself!

Unfortunately, the Tantai Family was unaware of this and had decided to curse this child, using it as a tool to fight against the invasion of evil spirits!

This would be akin to destroying their own hope! What an irony!

"Although the true spirit of Tantai Mieming has already been killed by the fellow elders, the evil ghost which they have summoned must have been sealed by my physical property to my advantage?"

Fang Yuan was about to figure out the complete truth to the secrets of his birth.

It was the ’truth’ that even Tantai Guijing was unaware about!

"The Fate Souls created by the realm would always be estranged. The will of this realm would either have been destroyed or have gone crazy..."

"But now, my survival depends on it."

"The control methods of the Tantai Family will be able to control me as a human being, but it will surely not be able to control the evil ghost which I am about to release!"

Fang Yuan finally understood something. At that moment where he had awakened his own physical property, he must have likely to accidentally released the evil ghost, causing the unlucky servant’s death.

"Spirit Sealing Body will allow be to seal the evil ghost in me and therefore allowing me to use its powers? Interesting!"

In Fang Yuan’s consciousness, he released his tyrannical willpower. "Since this is so... I shall release you!"

In the real world.

The zombie-like Tantai Mieming suddenly stopped in his tracks. The black earthworm print started to subside from his skin.

"This is not good!"

Tantai Guijing was shocked. With that, he quickly took a glance at his own mirror.

Blood started to gush out from his mirror. Tantai Mieming’s image was undergoing a certain change.

The young kid was growing. He grew taller and stronger and finally... he became a mature young adult.

His facial features were blurred and he was wearing a white shirt. His skin was dark-green as though he was frozen to death.

"How is this possible? He is no longer a human, but a real... ghost!"

Chill vibes began to fill his heart.

This was true horror...
