Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen was already tempted.

He planned to take a huge gamble. He was simply too curious about the Ghost Temple and the secrets of the Black Fire within it.

If he could control the Ghost Temple, it would undoubtedly give him a great chance to uncover its secrets.

Finally, he gritted his teeth. ”Alright. In that case, I’m willing to inherit your legacy.”

”I accept the Ghost Temple.”

He knew that this Ghost Temple was definitely not Fang Yinzi’s property.

After all, he had seen the Ghost Temple in his previous life. He knew the truth in his heart.

But he pretended to know nothing.

He wasn’t sure what Fang Yinzi was planning.

Seeing this, Fang Yinzi was overjoyed, but he didn’t let any of it show on his face.

’He knows Jiang Chen has fallen for it.’

His plan was about to succeed.

Both men held their own secrets, and both were smart enough not to reveal them.

Jiang Chen was playing dumb, and Fang Yinzi couldn’t see through his act.

”Excellent. In that case, it’s very simple. Just drip your blood onto this Ghost Heart, and you will gain complete control over the Ghost Temple. From then on, the Ghost Temple will be yours.”

Fang Yinzi’s voice continued.

He was getting impatient. It wasn’t easy to find a genius like Jiang Chen who so perfectly fit his requirements.

His escape was in sight.

Jiang Chen naturally feigned ignorance and nodded. ”Okay.”

At that moment, without another word, Fang Yinzi tossed the Ghost Heart to Jiang Chen.

”There you go. Bind it to yourself as soon as you can.”

Holding the Ghost Heart, Jiang Chen could feel a surging power contained within it.

This power was immense, which made him suspicious again. ’Why would he give such a divine object to me?’

However, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate.

He squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip.

It dripped onto the Ghost Heart.

”DRIP!”

As soon as the blood landed on the Ghost Heart, it immediately seeped inside.

It quickly vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Jiang Chen was shaken.

He looked at Fang Yinzi in surprise.

”Senior, you’ve already bound yourself to the Ghost Heart. I can’t bind myself to it at all.”

When he dripped his blood onto the Ghost Heart, he discovered it already had a master—and that master was clearly Fang Yinzi, standing right before him.

Fang Yinzi suddenly burst out laughing.

”Kid, my apologies. I may have deceived you.”

”Now, let me tell you the truth.”

Under Jiang Chen’s darkening gaze, Fang Yinzi began to speak with extreme delight.

He was so excited, he even regarded Jiang Chen with a strange sense of approval.

He looked at Jiang Chen with pity in his eyes.

”Jiang Chen, don’t overthink it.”

”In truth, I am not the master of this Ghost Temple.”

”Years ago, I obtained the Ghost Temple. The Ghost Heart is the core that controls it. As long as one controls the Ghost Heart, one controls the Ghost Temple.”

Listening to Fang Yinzi, Jiang Chen grew even more confused.

Fortunately, Fang Yinzi continued, ”Although I bound myself to the Ghost Heart and controlled the Ghost Temple...”

”...ever since I did, I have been unable to leave this godforsaken Ghost Temple.”

”This damn place has kept me trapped for ten thousand years.”

”Don’t you think that’s infuriating?”

Fang Yinzi’s voice was tinged with resentment. It was clear that being trapped in the Ghost Temple for ten thousand years had driven him to the brink of madness.

In that instant, it all dawned on Jiang Chen.

’So, once you bind yourself to the Ghost Heart, you can never leave the Ghost Temple.’

”Then why did you tell me to bind myself to the Ghost Heart? Aren’t you just setting me up?”

His expression changed. He had no idea binding himself to the Ghost Heart came with such a terrifying consequence.

After all, he had no desire to be trapped inside this Ghost Temple for the rest of his life.

That would be sheer torture.

Fang Yinzi laughed heartily, a sound full of relief.

”That’s right. For so many years, I’ve wanted to leave the Ghost Temple, but I’ve been trapped by this Ghost Heart, unable to escape.”

”Over the years, I’ve been searching for a solution. Finally, I came up with a brilliant plan: use the Black Fire on the ninth level to attract Martial Cultivators, find a suitable one, and then trick him into binding with the Ghost Heart.”

”This way, I can finally escape! HAHAHAHA...”

The more Fang Yinzi spoke, the more excited he became.

His plan had succeeded.

Jiang Chen had bound himself to the Ghost Heart.

Although Jiang Chen hadn’t successfully completed the binding yet, Fang Yinzi had a way to make him slowly merge with the Ghost Heart now that he had dripped his blood on it.

Then, he could slowly break free from the Ghost Heart’s control.

Finally, he could make a perfect escape. The sky would be his to soar, the ocean his to explore.

Jiang Chen’s face was ashen. He had fallen into the trap after all.

Even though he had sensed something was wrong, he thought obtaining the Ghost Temple would have its benefits.

But now that he knew he would be trapped in the Ghost Temple, he couldn’t accept it.

He said angrily, ”You old bastard, you’re despicable!”

”Tricking me into binding with the Ghost Heart... your intentions are truly vile.”

”But... it’s not like the binding was successful, right?”

”Heh heh.”

Jiang Chen smirked. The one thing he could take solace in was that his blood hadn’t successfully bound him to it.

But Fang Yinzi waved his hand. ”Don’t celebrate too soon. I *will* make you succeed.”

With that, Fang Yinzi suddenly gritted his teeth, and his face went pale.

It was unclear what he had done.

The next moment, Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically.

”No! Damn it! You actually made me bind to it!”

”You...”

He was stunned. Just a moment ago, he thought he couldn’t bind with the Ghost Heart.

But now, whatever Fang Yinzi had just done, a connection had suddenly formed between him and the Ghost Heart.

In other words, the binding was successful.

And the strangest part was, the Ghost Heart now had more than one master. Both Jiang Chen and Fang Yinzi were its masters.

Fang Yinzi laughed joyfully, not caring at all that Jiang Chen was cursing him.

Instead, he felt he owed Jiang Chen a little.

After all, he had tricked Jiang Chen into binding with the Ghost Heart purely for his own escape, and the result was that Jiang Chen would be trapped in the Ghost Temple.

It was an extremely insidious plot.

”Jiang Chen, what’s done is done. You can’t escape the Ghost Heart now, so you might as well accept it.”

”Obtaining the Ghost Temple isn’t without its benefits for you.”

”First, there are plenty of resources here you can use to advance your Cultivation.”

”Second, in the future, you will be able to control the Ghost Temple. I will gradually detach myself, leaving you as the sole master. Isn’t that great?”

”Hahaha...”

He laughed again.

Under Jiang Chen’s grim gaze.

Fang Yinzi continued, ”Don’t get your hopes up. Now that you’ve bound to it, I will help you refine the Ghost Heart bit by bit. Once you’ve completely refined it, I’ll be able to break free.”

”So, from now on, you can just stay here in peace.”

”However, the refining process will take some time.”

”During this period, you can temporarily leave the Ghost Temple.”

”But I must tell you, once I’ve helped you completely refine the Ghost Heart, no matter where you are, you will be forcibly brought back to the Ghost Temple.”
