Chapter 335: The Greed of Ghost Diary

As if confirming Chu Jiang’s cry in his heart, inch by inch, from the pelvis to the thigh bone, to the shin bone, and then to the foot bone, the bones below his waist crumbled, but at the same time, inch by inch, new bones were reborn.

These new bones were completely lifeless black, and quickly formed tendons, blood vessels, muscles, and skin along the black bones.

In just a few breaths, Chu Jiang’s lower body completely transformed into Chu’s Jiang, and perfectly merged with his upper body.

As a result, Chu’s Jiang’s awakening level reached over 80%, and Black Sun lost the possibility of escaping from Chu Jiang’s body.

Successfully increasing the level of Chu’s Jiang transformation gave Chu Jiang a great boost.

Although the pain continued, Chu Jiang gritted his teeth and persevered. He could feel that Black Sun’s size had already shrunk during its frantic struggles.

This doesn’t mean it weakened, but a portion of its power had been absorbed into Chu Jiang’s body, rather than it being a simple case of a ghost invading a living person.

However, just as things were starting to improve, new troubles arose.

Amidst the endless burning pain, Chu Jiang discovered that the jumbled voices shouting "We will live forever in heaven" were becoming clearer in his mind.

Yes, in his mind, not ringing in his ears.

Even his lips slightly parted and closed, as if wanting to join those voices in shouting and running towards heaven…

But what’s going on? Wasn’t I immune to the viral infection?

Chu Jiang wanted to ask the old man, but at this moment he couldn’t make a sound, only struggling in extreme pain.

He slammed his hand onto the stone bed beneath him, not only shattering the bed, but also causing the entire Lin family mansion, the whole Luohe county, and the eerie space they were in to shake.

"Stay calm," the old man said calmly, not interfering with Chu Jiang’s control process.

With a wave of his hand, a new stone bed regenerated, continuing to support Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang then clasped his hands tightly together, feeling more and more clearly that heaven was calling for him, and that heaven was right in front of him… even within his body.

But Chu Jiang didn’t give up, the remaining bit of his sanity still analyzing the reasons for the abnormalities.

In the past, he had been unable to be contaminated by the Black Sun because he was cursed by the Ghost Diary, his allegiance belonging to the Ghost Diary, which prevented the Black Sun from turning him into a "living servant of ghosts."

But… what if the Black Sun didn’t want to turn him into a servant of ghosts?

Now, it seems that Black Sun is merging into Chu Jiang’s body, which involves the issue of adaptability. When a ghost deeply merges with a person, adaptability arises, and the Ghost Master can harness the power of the ghost.

Since Black Sun has already integrated its essence, it no longer involves the issue of transforming into a ghost servant, but rather its inherent madness, which begins to taint Chu Jiang’s humanity.

This is something that cannot be assisted by the Ghost Diary; Chu Jiang can only rely on himself.

If this is indeed the case, then Chu Jiang’s primary goal now is to hold on, even without the need to overcome this power.

As long as he can hold on until Black Sun fully merges and adaptability arises, then the memetic infection becomes Chu Jiang’s own ability, and he can certainly control himself and not be contaminated.

In the face of the dual pressure on his body and mind, Chu Jiang constantly affirms to himself in his heart, "Hold on, hold on, just a little longer and victory will be his!"

In order to shift his focus, he even begins to recall his experiences with family, classmates, and Chen Keai. He wants to convince himself that a ghost is not his paradise; he is pursuing something else…

To the old man, Chu Jiang appears to have lost consciousness. His eyes are tightly shut, hands clenched, and his body occasionally arches or twists. He murmurs, "Heaven, heaven, heaven…"

At the same time, there is still a glow emanating from within him, although it has weakened compared to the beginning.

Lin Mohua secretly came to the yard and saw Chu Jiang struggling through a wall. She couldn’t help but bite her lip and could only silently pray for him.

Just as Chu Jiang and Black Sun were at a standstill, a sinister black diary suddenly flew out of his left hand.

As soon as the diary appeared, it pounced on the struggling Chu Jiang, seemingly ready to devour its host.

This proves that Chu Jiang has reached the most dangerous moment on a mental level. Just a little bit more, and he will completely lose his humanity and die under the control of Black Sun.

The Ghost Diary cannot help Chu Jiang on a mental level. As its pages flip open, eerie chains of dark iron shoot out, but for the moment, they cannot pierce Chu’s Jiang’s body.

So it no longer tries to stop other ghosts from stealing its food, but instead crawls onto Chu Jiang’s body, trying to slowly swallow the host into the diary.

Yes, the Ghost Diary wants to swallow Chu Jiang and all four ghosts inside him!

Even the old gentleman shook his head upon seeing this scene and said, "Too greedy."

It was at this moment that the old gentleman finally intervened.

Suddenly, he tapped the ground with his cane, and countless chains of black mist emerged from underground, shooting towards Ghost Diary.

Instinctively, Ghost Diary fought back. In an instant, the chains of dark iron clashed and tangled with the chains of black mist, creating a piercing noise and bright sparks. The surrounding space began to distort…

These two types of chains both possess the power to seal and block, so they share some similarities. However, they don’t have a clear hierarchy, and for a moment, they entangled together, making it difficult to determine a winner.

Of course, the old man had more tricks up his sleeve.

Expressionless, he raised his cane and started to draw in the empty air.

This time, the old man didn’t combine the symbols he drew with the chains of black mist. He simply drew a crimson talisman on its own.

The talisman bore the words "Command" as well as a symbol formed by the characters for "rain," "gradual," and "ear" stacked from top to bottom.

[Image Description: An image is included]

This symbol is called the [Purple Constellation Secret], it is the secret chant used in Taoism to ward off ghosts and evil spirits with the power of the Great Emperor of the North Star.

The Purple Wei Emperor’s existence in this world is unknown, but in the hands of the old man, this talisman seems to possess great power. As soon as it took shape, it flew towards the Ghost Diary and stuck to its cover.

Upon being attached, the Ghost Diary itself trembled and fell off Chu Jiang; even the 304 chains of dark iron that had been shot out retreated back into the diary.
