I am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysterious-Chapter 335 - 299: User Manual

Putting down the letter, Sang Que sat there in a daze for a long time.

At this moment, her feelings were complex, and her impoverished language was simply inadequate to express them. But knowing that her biological mother has always loved her, her half-human, half-ghost icy body was slowly warming up.

Sang Que sniffed, smoothing the letter paper carefully, refolding it, placing it back into the envelope before her, and stared at it for a long time.

She opened her mouth, and after a while, said, "...Rest assured, I have already chosen to continue your work, and thank you for everything you have done for me."

Sang Que suddenly felt that she was the luckiest person in the world, having a biological mother who loved her, and an adoptive mother who loved her as well. Who else could be like her, having two mothers who love her?

Compared to these two selfless loves, other hardships are nothing at all.

Under the nourishment of love, Sang Que’s heart was incredibly strong.

Taking a breath, Sang Que rallied herself and picked up the last two pages of the letter to review.

Her biological mother referred to the Yansheng coin as the ’Mountain Ghost Coin’. Why is it the ’Mountain Ghost’? And why did the Witch Lady choose the image of a Mountain Ghost, and whether the Nine Songs and the Chu State’s ritual poems are related, none of this is mentioned.

Yet all these are matters of the past, and may not have a significant impact on what she has to do in the future.

Having read her biological mother’s letter, Sang Que also roughly has a direction; she is now on the right path.

In the future, as long as she can cross the Sixth Level and advance from Ghost Level to Ghost God Level, she will naturally know whether everything they envisioned can be achieved.

Additionally, the letter mentioned the Ninth Floor of Nine Netherworld, perhaps the source of dark power is right there, and when she steps into the Ninth Layer, she can uncover everything.

Back in modern times, Sang Que suddenly recalled that her mom had once tested Wu Cheng, so she should quickly go back and inform her mom to be cautious. She doesn’t need to interact with the Wu Family now, and it’s best to avoid contact.

Sang Que refocused her wandering thoughts and continued reading the paper in her hands.

The Mountain Ghost Coin has a spell on one side and Eight Diagrams on the other. According to the letter, the spell content is actually an illusion, and the text changes every few hundred years according to the style of the era’s popular Yansheng coin.

This is to ensure that if the Mountain Ghost Coin gets lost in some special situations, people will treat it as an ordinary Ancient Coin, allowing it to flow into the Ancient Coin Market.

After all, after the holder of the Mountain Ghost Coin dies in the Deceit Dynasty, the Mountain Ghost Coin will bring the corpse back to modern times. By then, it’s quite possible for the Mountain Ghost Coin to detach from the corpse and be picked up by someone.

The family has ways to identify the genuine Mountain Ghost Coin and retrieve it immediately.

So, even without reciting the spell, can one still gather the power of eight trigrams to deliver a heavy blow to ghosts?

No wonder last time when attacked by the Dream Ghost, her mind was unclear, she only uttered an ’order’, yet severely injured the Dream Ghost.

Perhaps reciting the spell is really just a process to bolster confidence, as long as one has confidence inherently, even without the spell, they can harm ghosts.

Sang Que nodded slightly.

Besides the power to strike Evil Ghosts, especially ones stronger than oneself, another important function of the Mountain Ghost Coin’s convergence of eight trigrams is the ’Mountain Ghost Seal’.

The witches in the family are not allowed to control ghosts; the Mountain Ghost Seal is always used to assist other Yin Walkers in controlling ghosts.

Moreover, Yin Walkers using the Mountain Ghost Seal cannot turn on the witches; if they do, the Mountain Ghost Seal will become ineffective, causing backlash to the Yin Walker.

Next are the respective functions of the eight trigrams. The spell on the other side of the Mountain Ghost Coin will change, but the Eight Diagrams remain, as there has always been a tradition to engrave Eight Diagrams on such Yansheng coins, even in the Deceit Dynasty.

Sang Que currently knows that:

[Qian Trigram·Door Opening], can open the eye, and perceive the past’s cause and effect, essence of ghosts, and hidden laws.

[Gen Trigram·Life Gate], can open a gate from Deceit Dynasty to return home, and also open a door from that painting to release people.

The brief summary on the letter simply is to open a path for survival. If trapped in certain powerful Ghost Realms, she can also use the gate-opening power to escape.

Furthermore, Life Gate also implies opening a person’s life gate, meaning reviving oneself from near death. This feature remains unchanged even after Yansheng Coin upgrades, it can only prolong life, whether for oneself or others, it is effective.

[Kun Trigram·Death Gate], initially when she traveled from modern times to Deceit Dynasty, it consumed Kun Trigram. At that time, after opening the gate, the duration was very short, going back and forth required consuming both Gen Trigram and Kun Trigram.

Now, after opening the gate, it can be sustained for half an hour. During this period, one trigram is sufficient for the round trip. If time’s up, one must open another gate to consume the corresponding trigram depending on which side they are on.

It adds here, Kun Trigram can also open the Hidden Realm’s gate since the Hidden Realm symbolizes the world of death.

The Hidden Realm is the inner world, where all living things gradually disappear into the hidden fog, only sufficiently powerful ghosts can survive in it; it’s a world composed entirely of ghosts.

For entities like the Fish Woman, which are relatively formidable, they would hide their true form in the Hidden Realm and use some means to seep their power into the real world to harm people.

Seeing this, Sang Que thought, if the Hidden Realm is secure enough, maybe locking all ghosts in it could be a solution.

Sadly, most ghosts above the Fifth level possess the ability to traverse between the Hidden Realm and the real world, which is one reason why ghosts above the Fifth layer are rarely seen in reality and are hard to eliminate.

Water Ghosts, Earth Ghosts, Plague Ghosts, and Dream Ghosts, those who belong to Sixth Layer or more, their true form might be residing somewhere in the Hidden Realm.

Whether Yin Walkers of the Fifth layer can enter the Hidden Realm depends on cases, mostly only the ghosts they control can enter the Hidden Realm, not the Yin Walkers themselves.

But when Yin Walkers are out of control, entirely dominated by the ghosts, they may then have the chance to altogether enter the Hidden Realm.

The previous Yu Da and Liu Tianyou were situations of this kind.

Now there are five trigrams left.

[Kan Trigram·Rest Gate], it has purification and repair capabilities.

It can remove negative states existing in a person due to yin objects or ghosts, and purify curses and magic artifacts, incense burners, secret artifacts contaminated by ghost powers.

Additionally, it possesses the ability to repair yin objects, allowing those with limited use numbers to increase their times of usage through Kan Trigram.

The specific consumption of purification and repair varies based on situations.

[Thunder Trigram·Injury Gate] has weakening power.

By contact, it inflicts a negative state on people or ghosts, progressively weakening the ghost or person’s power over time, with their strength decreasing by a tenth every minute, the limit is five minutes, and can’t stack.

Equivalent to five minutes, which can nearly cripple a ghost, making it easier to imprison or devour afterward. But the key point is, if the opponent is particularly strong, whether they can withstand five minutes is another matter.

Or just before five minutes, the ghost escapes, and it’s all for nothing.

[Xun Trigram·Du Gate] has concealing function.

It can allow oneself or a designated target to enter a concealed state, while staying still, they will not be detected by people or ghosts, and in this state, they won’t be locked by ghost’s killing rules.

One Xun Trigram can last for five minutes, trigrams can switch among each other, meaning for a single person, the maximum they can remain in such a concealed state is forty minutes.

[Li Trigram·Jing Gate] has replication power.

By contact, it can replicate a ghost’s ability, this ability can be preserved until a new one replaces it. Each use requires consuming a Li Trigram, lasting period is still five minutes, converting other trigrams to Li Trigram, longest it can last forty minutes.

[Dui Trigram·Jing Gate] has shock power.

Consumes one Dui Trigram, within five minutes, emits strong aura of Evil Ghost, shocking other ghosts and people, preventing them from approaching.

"How comprehensive the functions are!"

After reading the contents of the letter paper, Sang Que understood why witches are powerful, having protection from the Witch Lady and empowered by the various abilities of the Mountain Ghost Coin, with a bit of smarts, they are not easily killed.

Indeed impressive!

There’s also a particular note stating that previously, the Mountain Ghost Coin’s power was supplemented by praying to and invoking the Witch Lady.

"Feels like Witch Lady is like a wireless charger, when out of power, one kneel to the Witch Lady’s Divine Statue, and it can activate super charging mode."

Later, as ghosts evolved and could devour one another, the Mountain Ghost Coin also evolved to replenish its power by devouring other ghosts.

Regarding this, her biological mother also didn’t know the reason, the mystery of the Mountain Ghost Coin, requires Sang Que herself to continue exploring.

"Now comes the detailed introduction of Nine Songs, sparing me from having to seek information from Qiao Ling."
