Chapter 2 God-level Ferryman, Ferrying a Ghost and Sending Off the New Year with His Taoist Skills?
Chu Jiang stood there, stunned, thinking that he was hallucinating because his resentment was too deep.
He shook his head vigorously.
[Host: Chu Jiang]
【Position: Ferryman at the Crossing of the River of the Dead】
[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Ghost Soldier (Ten Years)]
[Supernatural Powers: None]
[Magic Item: None]
[System Mission: Become the strongest ferryman in history, making it an honor for all beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths to ride on your boat!]
A virtual panel, visible only to him, appeared clearly before his eyes.
The font is a soft green, and the data is easy to understand.
Chu Jiang's heart began to pound wildly.
it is true!
I've actually obtained the cheat code that every time traveler needs!
A god-level ferryman system? Sounds like... a good fit for my field?
However, the system introduction's claim that "all realms and paths will be honored to ride on your ship" is far too arrogant!
"System, what functions do you have?" Chu Jiang asked himself silently.
This system is designed to assist the host in becoming a god-level ferryman. The host will receive generous rewards for any actions related to guiding souls on the River of the Underworld, such as rowing, purifying, or performing rituals for the deceased.
[New player gift pack has been distributed, would you like to open it?]
There's a big gift package? Chu Jiang chose "yes" without hesitation.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained:]
[1. Complete knowledge of "Netherworld Guidance from Beginner to Ascension" (already automatically infused)]
2. The Netherworld Spirit Boat (Automatically replaced the current ship)
3. Beginner's Tool Kit (one each of Soul-Guiding Banner, Soul-Suppressing Rope, and Soul-Purifying Lamp)
In an instant, countless pieces of knowledge about how to guide the souls of the dead, distinguish between good and evil, and purify resentment flooded into Chu Jiang's mind.
He felt as if he had instantly transformed from a complete novice into a seasoned underworld official who had served in the underworld for thousands of years.
At the same time, he sensed a soft, mysterious light emanating from the dilapidated awning boat on the shore. When the light faded, it was replaced by a sleek, ancient-looking black boat with a lantern hanging from its bow, emitting a faint glow.
The three ancient-style magical artifacts lay quietly on the stone table in the bone house.
"This...this is amazing!"
Chu Jiang was so excited he almost lost his mind.
The frustration and resentment I felt yesterday from being suppressed by Judge Wei have vanished completely.
Forget about being a second-generation official or settling personal scores; in front of the system, they're all trash!
What's wrong with the ferryman? I'll use my skills to ferry this River of the Underworld into a new world!
He picked up the soul-guiding banner and felt a strange power emanating from it, as if it could command all ghosts.
Just then, a hideous demon with a black aura crawled out of the mud by the river and roared as it pounced on Chujiang.
"Another one coming to die! I'm going to eat you!"
This evil spirit was filled with resentment and its strength was at least at the late stage of the Ghost Soldier level, which was higher than Chu Jiang's original cultivation.
In the past, Chu Jiang would have only been able to run for his life. But now, more than a dozen ways to deal with the situation flashed through his mind in an instant.
He simply shook the soul-guiding banner in his hand.
An invisible ripple spread outwards.
The ferocious demon seemed to have its throat grabbed, freezing in place instantly. The fierce light in its eyes quickly faded, replaced by a blank stare.
"Get on the boat, and I will ferry you to your next life." Chu Jiang's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
The evil spirit obediently and step by step boarded the brand-new spirit boat to the underworld.
Chu Jiang picked up the oar and gently rowed the boat. The spirit boat glided silently into the dark river, moving swiftly yet steadily.
The vengeful spirits in the river that tried to harass the spirit boat were illuminated by the light of the soul-purifying lamp at the bow of the boat as soon as they came within three feet of it, letting out a scream and retreating.
Soon, the spirit boat arrived at the entrance to the cycle of reincarnation on the other side.
The evil spirit disembarked from the boat, and the moment it stepped into the gate of reincarnation, it turned back and bowed deeply to Chu Jiang, its black aura vanishing without a trace.
Just then, the voice he had been longing for rang in Chu Jiang's mind.
[Ding! Successfully lured a century-old evil spirit, triggering a 100x critical hit reward!]
[Congratulations, host! You have gained one hundred years of cultivation!]
boom!
A surge of pure Yin energy rose from the core of Chu Jiang's soul without warning, instantly flowing throughout his entire body.
He felt his ghostly power, which had been like a trickle, suddenly transform into a rushing stream. The solidity of his soul increased greatly, filling it with explosive power.
The underworld before my eyes seemed to have become clearer.
He could hear whispers carried on the wind in the distance and smell the different auras emanating from different souls.
[Host: Chu Jiang]
【Position: Ferryman at the Crossing of the River of the Dead】
[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Ghost General (110 years)]
[Supernatural Powers: None]
[Magic Items: Soul-Guiding Banner, Soul-Suppressing Rope, Soul-Purifying Lamp]
The data on the panel clearly showed his changes.
He only had to ferry one ghost to go from the early stage of a ghost soldier with ten years of cultivation to the mid stage of a ghost general with one hundred and ten years of cultivation!
If word got out about this cultivation speed, the entire underworld would probably be in an uproar!
It should be understood that for an ordinary underworld official to increase their cultivation by a hundred years, even with the salary and elixirs from the underworld, it would still require decades, or even hundreds, of arduous cultivation.
And he did it in a split second!
"We've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!"
Chu Jiang looked at his hands and felt the surge of power within him, his excitement almost overwhelming.
What exactly is a god-level system? (Leans back tactically)
He immediately turned his gaze to the restless souls on the riverbank, waiting to cross, his eyes like those of a hungry wolf eyeing a flock of sheep.
He then saw a kind soul, radiating a soft white light and seemingly having accumulated good deeds in his previous life, being bullied by several little devils.
"You!" Chu Jiang pointed at the Soul-Guiding Banner, and the little ghosts were instantly struck as if by lightning, fleeing in panic.
He invited the benevolent spirit aboard the ship, and they set sail again.
[Ding! Successfully guided a virtuous soul, triggering a tenfold critical reward!]
[Congratulations, host, you have mastered the supernatural power: Golden Light of Reincarnation!]
Chu Jiang's hand trembled, and the oar almost fell into the river.
What is that?
Golden light of reincarnation?!
A profound flow of information surged into his mind, and Chu Jiang instantly grasped the method of using this supernatural power.
This light can purify resentment, deliver the souls of the dead, and even cleanse magical artifacts; its uses are endless!
He pointed to the section of the river where the resentment was heaviest and the water was the most polluted.
"Purify!"
A soft golden light shone into the river, and the black water in that area instantly became much clearer, and the fishy smell also lessened considerably.
Chu Jiang was completely convinced.
This system is simply incredible!
Converting evil spirits grants them cultivation, while converting benevolent souls grants them supernatural powers. So, if one were to convert the remnant soul of an ancient great being, wouldn't one be granted a primordial spiritual treasure?
He felt that he had not been sent to row a boat, but rather to a super blessed land full of treasures!
Judge Wei, you never dreamed that what you see as a garbage dump would be my paradise.
Chu Jiang's lips curled into a playful smile.
He is now full of confidence in the future.
With this god-level ferryman system in hand, let alone a minor head of the Reincarnation Department, even the Ten Kings of Hell will have to speak to him with utmost respect in the future!
He picked up the oar, looked at the Nether River before him, which was full of "experience packs," and his eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
"start!"
However, just as he was preparing to make a big splash and amass a fortune from his skills and supernatural abilities, an untimely voice came from the ferry dock.
"Hey, isn't this our genius scholar, Chu Jiang, the underworld messenger? What's this? Playing in the water on your first day on the job?"
His voice was sharp and sarcastic, full of mockery.
Chu Jiang looked up and saw two ghostly figures walking towards him.
The one leading them was none other than Judge Wei, the head of the Reincarnation Department who had trampled him into the mud yesterday.
Beside him followed a shifty-eyed, arrogant young underworld official.
Chu Jiang's eyes instantly turned cold.
