Chapter 151 - Demonic Body, Overnight!!

"Hahaha, good for you. You should take the experience from such events," suggested Ryan and turned towards Tom. Now that there was a book before them, he really wanted to know about its content.

"Can you tell me now, what's the origin and content of the book?" asked Ryan.

"Yes," Tom replied in a solemn voice. He also asked Ryan to make a soundproof barrier around them, so that no one can hear their conversation.

Ryan set a barrier as asked by Tom and turned towards him again, "Done."

"Good, now I can tell. But before I do, you must make a promise that you will never tell anyone about the contents of the book, or else it will create chaos in the outside world."

"Ok…., we won't tell," replied Nagisa hesitatingly. She had a habit of saying everything to her father and not telling anyone….. This was gonna be hard for her.

"Ok, I also promise. That I won't say this to anyone," said Ryan.

"Good, now listen. This is a book from the World of Spirits and Ghosts."

Ryan "…."

Nagisa "…."

Tom observed their dumbfounded expression and asked, "What's wrong? Why making those faces?"

"Why shouldn't we?!" replied back Ryan. Never in his life, not in his present, nor in his past he had heard about the World of Spirits and Demons. It was his fast time to come in contact with that word. And something that didn't exist in the past era.

Nagisa was dumbfounded because she knew what it meant. And what was that place? She remembered it vividly once her father told him that the World of Spirits and Demons is a place made by one of the seven sages. The aim was to make a place where ghosts can live till they fulfill their regrets and pass out to another side.

Tom continued, "It's a place made by the Ghost God, and this fact is known to all the ghosts by birth. Who is he? Where is he? Alive or not? No one knows."

"Okay….."

"And this book is a ghost cultivation book that tells how to ascend from a ghost hood to demonic hood."

"Ghost hood to demonic hood?! What's that now?" asked Ryan. It's been a while since he got the feeling again. The feeling of unknowing anything, and the feeling of a dumb protagonist.

"Hmm… Telling. But before that tell me, do you know what happens to a soul once it leaves the body, because of death?"

"Ah, it either becomes a ghost with regret or goes to another side of the world for the next life…."

"Yes, you are absolutely right. Then do you know what happens to the ones who become ghosts?" asked the ghost of Tom. Before he starts explaining he wanted to see how much Ryan knows. So that he won't waste the time explaining the things he already knows and tells him the things that can help him in the future.

"I don't know what happens to them after that? I mean, I have never experienced it nor have read any books about it. So I am pretty much clueless about it…." Said Ryan hesitantly.

Judging from the answer that Ryan was giving, Tom determined that he only had a rough idea about it and didn't know much about afterlife cultivation.

Even though he was a ghost, he sighed and started explaining everything to him. According to Tom the souls that become ghosts all end up in the World of Spirits and Ghosts. There they learn how to cultivate and get stronger to fulfill their wishes. Ryan was taken aback by this new info.

He knew about ghost cultivation that cultivation practitioners practice to tame ghosts or to summon ghosts. But here the ghost cultivation that Tom was talking about was not the same. Here he meant ghosts practice different cultivation techniques to achieve different goals.

He no longer knew what to say and how to respond. 'In this new era, even ghosts practice cultivation!! The fck is wrong with the world setting!!'

In the meantime, Nagisa was judging the book from a distance and was getting an itch to open it and read. But seeing Ryan and Tom had already asked him to control herself and maintain distance from the book, she was refraining herself from creating any trouble for them.

As Tom kept on telling more about the ghost cultivation. Ryan kept getting more information about the ghost cultivation. One of the aims of ghost cultivation was to acquire a physical body and complete the regrets and wishes that keep someone from passing to the next world.

And this body can be of various types. Like some acquire a spiritual body, which can transform into a human of any size and soul. Some acquire the body of the beast. Which can transform itself into any type of beast. Be it mythical or legendary.

These were the two major body types that a ghost can acquire by practicing cultivation. According to Tom, there was one more major body type that a ghost can acquire and its name was Demonic Body.

A body for the types of ghosts who have malice in them while practicing the techniques. Interesting thing, it's not easy to get a body by practicing ghost cultivation.

It may take five hundred to six hundred years to achieve the same.

"Oh~~!!" exclaimed Ryan. In the last couple of minutes, he got to know about some things that he didn't know earlier. He wanted to ask Tom more about the ghost world, but giving respect to the time and situation, he refrained himself and focused on absorbing the knowledge that he was imparting.

"And here is the catch. This book has a method that can give a Demonic Body, overnight."

Ryan "…"

Nagisa "…"

'Overnight!! If that's true, thousands of ghosts will get demonic bodies and create havoc in the world!!' thought Nagisa.

Meanwhile Aryan, 'Pftt, hahahah, hahaha.. Sounds like a scam to me. Make me remember those tv ads that say lose thirty kilos weight, overnight!!'
