Chapter 1590 - 1553: Isolation

Just like the information on the human-skin parchment.

In the next few days of experiments, Yang Jian didn’t achieve any greater breakthroughs. It seemed like the time limit for sealing the Yin Yang Path reached its maximum, which could at most be maintained for thirty years. Afterward, no matter how much Yang Jian tried to overlay the Ghost Domain, there was no way to exceed this limit, and the subsequent experiments were less successful each time.

Zhang Xiangguang also noticed the problem, understanding that Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain had reached its limit and couldn’t be extended further.

“Thirty years is not bad. I think we can start executing the plan.” Although it didn’t reach the expected outcome, thirty years of peace was still precious.

If Yang Jian is still alive after thirty years, they could just do it again.

However, Yang Jian refused Zhang Xiangguang’s suggestion. He said, “Although thirty years is not short, we have the ability to do better. Why not do it? Besides, we don’t know what will happen during these thirty years. Maybe by then, you’ll be dead, I’ll be dead, and the second step of the plan will fail. Who will bring another thirty years of peace at that moment?”

“I have always been pessimistic about the supernatural. I think we should either not do it or do it excellently. I want to double the time limit to sixty years. What do you think?”

“Your Ghost Domain has reached its limit, and the time cannot be increased. I am very clear about this.” Zhang Xiangguang said.

Yang Jian was silent for a moment.

He recalled the information on the human-skin parchment in his mind.

Is there really a ghost in that Ghost Mirror that resembles him?

“Record the information and rest for a day. I’ll think of another way. If I make a breakthrough, we’ll act. If not, we’ll start the thirty-year plan immediately.” Yang Jian said.

“Although the situation is not optimistic now, I can still wait for a day. I’ll wait for your news.” Zhang Xiangguang said.

Yang Jian nodded and departed immediately without saying anything further.

He directly went to Shangtong Tower.

In the safe house on the top floor of Shangtong Tower, there was a dressing mirror from the Republic of China period.

This mirror was very special.

As long as you leave your shadow on it, when you die, you’ll be resurrected in the Ghost Mirror.

Although after resurrection, you would become an ordinary person, with memories stuck at that time, having such an opportunity to start over in the supernatural circle was still very precious.

Thinking back to the beginning.

Yang Jian did succeed in using the Ghost Mirror for resurrection, but correspondingly, left some hidden dangers.

“Yang Jian, you’re here. Is something big happening?”

In the office, Tong Qian was on duty today. Seeing Yang Jian rushing in, he thought something was wrong and immediately stood up.

“It’s nothing. I need to use the Ghost Mirror.” Yang Jian said.

“So that’s it. You’ve been hanging around the Guanjiang Residential Complex lately doing some research. Any results?” Tong Qian curiously asked.

Yang Jian said, “The plan has matured, just one last step. If successful, I can delay the appearance of the supernatural era. The time frame is sixty years.”

“Sixty years?” Tong Qian’s eyes widened immediately.

But before he could be surprised, Yang Jian had already opened the door to the safe house and went straight to the Ghost Mirror.

The Ghost Mirror was covered with a black cloth. There was no reflective light in the room, thus avoiding the accidental spread of the Ghost Mirror’s supernatural phenomenon.

“No matter what happens, don’t open the door until I come out, and don’t let anyone in.” Yang Jian then instructed.

“Rest assured, no one will disturb you.” Tong Qian said.

Yang Jian nodded, closed the door, and then uncovered the black cloth.

Behind the black cloth was a smooth mirror, but it had a crack, making it somewhat incomplete.

Yang Jian stood in front of the mirror, but his reflection did not appear on it.

This was natural.

Because someone resurrected using the Ghost Mirror once can no longer leave their shadow on it.

Then, Yang Jian slowly raised his hand and touched the Ghost Mirror.

The Ghost Mirror rippled slightly like a water surface, and his hand unexpectedly went through it.

The inside of the mirror was dark and deep, like hell.

“It turns out I can still enter.” Yang Jian then walked into the Ghost Mirror.

But the next moment.

Countless icy and terrifying ghostly hands extended from the mirror, grabbing onto Yang Jian, trying to drag him into the depths of darkness.

Yet Yang Jian was unafraid; his Ghost Eye suddenly opened. Instantly, a sinister Ghost Flame rampaged through the Ghost Mirror, immediately igniting those icy hands. The Ghost Flame continued to spread, even setting many ghosts on fire.

Strange screams and various eerie sounds echoed.

Those terrifying hands quickly withdrew, and then fiery figures moved back and forth in the dark Mirror World.

However, in this burning Ghost Flame, there was one figure that was not set on fire.

That person stood amid the Ghost Flame, with a somewhat ethereal body, as if in the Ghost Domain, isolating the Ghost Flame.

Yang Jian sensed something and immediately looked in the direction of that figure.

At this moment, he saw a person who looked exactly like him, with the same height and appearance, standing there with a blank expression and a pale face.

“Found it, the shadow I left in the Ghost Mirror.” Yang Jian immediately walked over.

The ghost seemed to see Yang Jian as well, and at the moment, it mimicked Yang Jian’s movements, walking stiffly toward him.

As the two approached, their movements became more alike, and their bodies seemed to become more flexible, no longer as stiff as before.

Yang Jian, at this moment, opened his Ghost Eye on his forehead, ignoring the surrounding darkness.

But then, the ghost’s forehead was also torn open, revealing a scarlet Ghost Eye.

Everything seemed to replicate Yang Jian.

This was the supernatural aspect of the Ghost Mirror, not something the ghost itself had.

One person and one ghost quickly approached.

Then Yang Jian stopped, and the ghost also stopped. They were only one step apart.

“Is it this eye?” Yang Jian then raised his hand and reached for the ghost’s forehead.

The ghost similarly raised its cold arm, reaching for Yang Jian.

Yang Jian’s hand penetrated the ghost’s forehead and forcibly took out that scarlet eyeball, but the ghost’s arm, attempting to attack Yang Jian, twisted and broke.

“You’re done.”

Yang Jian kicked the ghost away, then walked out of the Ghost Mirror with the eyeball.

After leaving the Ghost Mirror, the ghost eye in his hand still existed and did not disappear.

“This is just a normal ghost’s eye, but after being covered by the Ghost Mirror’s supernatural property, it successfully mimicked my Ghost Eye’s supernatural power. I can temporarily wield this ghost’s eye, harness its supernatural power, and before anything goes wrong with this eye, I must complete the previous plan.”

Yang Jian understood in his heart.

Having reached this point, there was no reason to retreat.

As for where the trap in the human-skin parchment lay, he didn’t have time to care now. As long as the plan succeeded, that was enough.

“Start the action immediately.”

Yang Jian took the Ghost Mirror, opened the door of the safe house, glanced at Tong Qian, and then he disappeared completely.

Tong Qian understood the look in Yang Jian’s eyes.

The plan was about to be executed.

“Please, don’t fail,” Tong Qian thought silently to herself.

Yang Jian swiftly returned to the Guanjiang Residential Complex and entered the third room once more.

Zhang Xiangguang had not left; he was calmly standing on the Yin Yang Path, gazing into the distance, seemingly pondering or perhaps observing that piece of the Supernatural World.

“Weren’t we supposed to rest for a day? You’re here very early,” he said with a slight surprise as he saw Yang Jian appear again.

“I thought we might encounter some danger, so I stretched the time a bit; didn’t expect it to be so smooth,” Yang Jian said as he opened his hand, revealing a red eye that twisted eerily.

“A second ghost eye?” Zhang Xiangguang glanced and asked.

Yang Jian said, “No, it’s fake. I don’t know how long the supernatural power within will last, so I have to start my plan immediately.”

“Alright.” Zhang Xiangguang took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Success depends on today.

Yang Jian did not hesitate, letting the scarlet eye in his palm slowly burrow into his flesh.

An unusual supernatural power emerged, one similar to the ghost eye, but it appeared somewhat insignificant compared to a genuine ghost eye.

However, even a slight increase in ghost eye power can be magnified several times, or even dozens of times, through accumulation.

That’s why the prophecies on the human-skin paper predicted that obtaining this eye could double the thirty-year timeline for Yang Jian.

“Yang Jian, you should know that once you start, you can’t stop. Your Ghost Domain must fully separate the Yin Yang Path, ensuring the integrity of the domain. Incomplete execution will result in fragile nodes, and the blockade won’t be effective,” Zhang Xiangguang said seriously again.

“Additionally, the Yin Yang Path is long; completing this in one go will be quite burdensome. Your condition may worsen as a result.”

“I understand, but we have no other choice. Success is within reach.”

Yang Jian said, and his ghost eye opened again.

This time, his ghost eye seemed even more scarlet than before, and once opened, it reached the Ninth Layer of the Ghost Domain.

He couldn’t succeed alone; he needed to call for assistance.

As time passed, multiple Yang Jians, each emitting a red light, appeared. They used the ghost eye as a node, summoned from unknown times and brought here to stay for eight hours.

“Has the plan started?”

“The supernatural power of the ghost eye has increased. It should now break the thirty-year limit.”

“Stop the chatter, start the action immediately, and separate the Yin Yang Path.”

As each Yang Jian appeared, they organized and immediately coordinated their actions.

With each addition of the Ghost Domain, a scarlet and straight light appeared on the Yin Yang Path.

The eerie path was dyed red, and then the red light shot forward at an unimaginable speed; in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the distance, beyond sight.

As Zhang Xiangguang had said, separating the Yin Yang Path couldn’t hesitate; it must be done in one go.

However, soon enough.

The scarlet Yang Jian encountered a problem; there existed insurmountable nodes on the Yin Yang Path.

The first obstacle was a massive graveyard.

This graveyard spanned both the realities and the Supernatural World, crossing the Yin Yang Path. It was impossible to bypass directly because many malevolent spirits were buried there, and their terrifying supernatural presence interfered with the Ghost Domain.

“Go around this area, intrude into reality, use part of the real world to replace the supernatural area, and continue onward, bypassing the graveyard Luo Qian left,” Yang Jian said immediately.

“Got it.” The other red Yang Jians responded instantly.

Subsequently, the red light invaded reality.

In Dahai City’s Fushou Garden sky, a sudden red light appeared, and the nearby roads and buildings vanished from the world. At the same time, Fushou Garden rapidly became blurred and also vanished without a trace, leaving a vast empty space.

Fortunately, this area had been cordoned off, preventing any living beings from approaching; otherwise, who knows how many might have been caught up in it.

However, connecting reality and the supernatural realm wasn’t just Luo Qian’s graveyard. Yang Jian encountered many such places.

For instance, Dayuan City had such a location.

That was the position of Ghost Street.

Ghost Street similarly spanned the supernatural and real worlds, blocking the Yin Yang Path. But once the red light invaded reality, Ghost Street also disappeared completely.

“Yang Jian’s supernatural power? Ghost Street has vanished… does this mean his plan has commenced, or is he succeeding?”

In the new Taiping Ancient Town, He Yiner saw the red light suddenly appearing in the sky.

Yang Jian’s method was effective; by forcibly stripping away some of reality, he expanded the Yin Yang Path, separating the supernatural from reality.

At this moment, the red light quickly shuttled through the Supernatural World, intermittently appearing in reality.

As such strange phenomena occurred, many terrifying supernatural locations began to disappear as if into thin air. Those supernatural regions weren’t erased, merely partitioned by Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain, preventing people in reality from contacting them.

The red light seemed to circle the world, eventually returning to the starting point, and everything returned to calm.

When the summoned copies of Yang Jian assembled, exciting news was delivered.

“The plan to isolate the supernatural for sixty years has been smoothly completed.”

“No, this is merely the first line of defense. Yang Jian, you don’t think relying on a single line will stop all supernatural invasions into reality, do you?” Zhang Xiangguang remained sober, unfazed by temporary delight as he needed to scrutinize Yang Jian’s plan for flaws.

“I believe that to perfectly seal off the malevolent spirits, a single Ghost Domain won’t suffice; several more are best. Once a ghost breaks through your first domain, it should fall into the second one, rather than directly entering reality. Only then does the sixty-year goal make sense. Otherwise, your blockade isn’t perfect, and dangerous spirits might sporadically appear.”

“Moreover, every Ghost Domain contains a node; you have to figure out how to conceal this node to ensure absolute security.”

Listening to Zhang Xiangguang, Yang Jian felt as if a door had opened in his mind, and countless ideas emerged.

“You’re right; a single Ghost Domain blockade isn’t perfect, as malevolent spirits could forcibly break through to reality. I need to set up multiple barriers and embed dangers within the domain to hinder the spirits. I will incorporate Ghost Flame to create a domain entirely shrouded in flames, where any spirit entering would be burned. Additionally, I’ll add Blood Lake to forge a Ghost Domain world of the lake, utilizing even certain supernatural objects, such as the Wang Family’s grandfather clock, the Ghost Mirror, Ghost Scissors…”

“Layer upon layer, like a hell, sealing off every route for spirits to enter reality completely,”

Yang Jian said as he began his planning.

“If you need, I can lend you this knife to open an additional layer of hell,”

Zhang Xiangguang revealed a rusty, eerie knife in his hand, throwing it without hesitation onto the Yin Yang Path.

“Great, there might not have been hell in this world before, but today I’ll create an eighteen-layered hell for a sixty-year reprieve from the supernatural,” Yang Jian declared confidently at that moment.

“An eighteen-layer hell? Can you withstand it?” Zhang Xiangguang furrowed his brow slightly.

It’s known that ghost handlers have limits, and even top-notch individuals like Yang Jian would bear a cost when using supernatural power recklessly.

“My current state is good, should not be a problem. If I feel something’s off, I can stop immediately,” Yang Jian thoughtfully pondered before answering.

Zhang Xiangguang nodded: “That’s true, let’s commence then.”

Yang Jian said no more and began preparing for the second line of defense.

Since other supernatural forces needed adding within the Ghost Domain, the plan required meticulous design.
