Chapter 1009: Philand: Strange!
As a Grand Master from the Great World, Gu Huan subconsciously felt a patronizing sense of pity for Lin Jiansheng, who had ascended from a small world. Gu Huan stood on his tiptoes and patted Lin Jiansheng’s shoulder as he said sympathetically, “Mr. Li’s words might be a little harsh, but that’s the truth. Mr. Lin, perhaps this world is not suitable for you.”
Gu Huan was tactfully persuading Lin Jiansheng to give up and return to his own world.
Lin Jiansheng said with a cold expression, “I don’t think it’s suitable for you.” He sneered and said, “If it was really suitable, you wouldn’t have to dig here for a year before you could fill a boat with ores.” With that said, Lin Jiansheng picked up the hammer on the ground and walked into the distance alone.
Gu Huan’s expression was gloomy after being mercilessly insulted by Lin Jiansheng.
As Lin Jiansheng left, Gu Huan stared at Lin Jiansheng’s arrogant and fearless figure with a sinister gaze and sneered. “What’s the use of being stubborn? You can’t even dig out the ores. What can you possibly do?!”

Lin Jiansheng carried the hammer and walked to the top of the mine to sit.
Unable to dig a mine, he felt somewhat dejected. As he looked at the black clouds in the sky, he felt vexed.
Suddenly, a small figure ran into his line of sight.
It was Ah Kong.
Ah Kong climbed up from the foot of the mine with a few books and sat down beside Lin Jiansheng. Then, he noticed that Lin Jiansheng’s hoe was broken and his expression was unpleasant, so he asked Lin Jiansheng, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Jiansheng kicked the ore mountain under his feet and said angrily, “I don’t have spiritual power, so I can’t dig up the ore here. Ah Kong, other than spiritual power, is there any other way to dig up the ore?” Lin Jiansheng was just asking casually, since he didn’t expect a child to give him an answer.
Ah Kong’s mother was a former staff member of the mining base. When he heard this, he said, “Yes.”
Lin Jiansheng’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Yes.” Ah Kong nodded and pointed at the dark clouds in the sky as he said, “Do you see the dark clouds there? Those dark clouds are the demonic creatures that live here. They rely on mining ores and absorbing the demonic energy in the ores to survive. If you can catch them and let them work for you, you can gather two ships of ores quickly.”
“Oh really?” Lin Jiansheng stared at the dark clouds in the sky and couldn’t help but ask, “How can we capture them?”
“I don’t know,” Ah Kong said. “They’re not afraid of spiritual power, so every ascendant who comes here to mine can’t catch them. However, a ghost cultivator used to mine here. He caught a demonic creature and filled two ships of ores in three days.”
Lin Jiansheng subconsciously felt that the ghostly cultivator Ah Kong mentioned was the ghostly cultivator from the Divination Continent that Lin Jianbing and the others had mentioned earlier.
Demonic creatures weren’t afraid of spiritual power, but they were afraid of ghostly cultivators.
Would demonic creatures also be afraid of his psychic power?
Lin Jiansheng suddenly made a decision. He stood up and said, “Ah Kong, if I catch a demonic creature, let the demonic creature work for me. I’ll teach you how to read.”
Ah Kong looked at him skeptically, but nodded and said, “Okay.”
Lin Jiansheng clenched his right hand in the void, and the Purifying Spirit Scepter appeared in his hand. Lin Jiansheng stared at the thick dark clouds above his head as he chanted in a low voice.
When he chanted, the black robe on his body fluttered without any wind. Wisps of milky white psychic energy floated out of his Purifying Spirit Scepter. They were the benign psychic energy of countless undead who had been purified. The psychic energy quickly floated towards the dark clouds.
As soon as the demonic creature living in the dark clouds sensed the existence of this energy, it began to struggle violently.
For a moment, the dark clouds in the entire ore space were shaking.
Noticing this anomaly, Li Jianbing and Gu Huan, who were mining, looked up in shock.
They looked up at the demonic creatures hiding everywhere in the sky and then at Lin Jiansheng. They actually felt that Lin Jiansheng’s entire body was emitting the warm and sacred energy of a priest.
What the hell?!
Countless bursts of psychic power turned into thin and dense powers of desire that wrapped around the demonic creatures one by one.
The demonic creatures struggled incessantly amidst the psychic power and whimpered while begging Lin Jiansheng to let them off.
They realized that the man with the scepter in front of them was far more difficult to deal with than the ghostly cultivator they had met a few years ago!
Ghost cultivators controlled ghosts, but Purifying Spirit Masters could purify all the unclean things in the world!
Purifying Spirit Masters were the natural nemesis of demonic creatures!
Sensing the demonic creatures begging for mercy, Lin Jiansheng suddenly stopped chanting. He opened his eyes and stared at the demonic creatures surrounded by the psychic net in the sky with a smile and said, “Friends, if you don’t want your cultivation to dissipate and be sent to reincarnation, we can make a deal.”
The demonic creatures stopped struggling at the same time.
Among the black demonic creatures, pairs of pitch-black and angry eyes were revealed as they stared fixedly at Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng smiled and said, “Help me gather two ships’ worth of ores. Then, I’ll leave immediately and won’t bully you guys anymore.”
The demonic creatures were silent for a moment before conveying their intention to cooperate with Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng nodded and released the psychic net.
After those demonic creatures obtained their freedom, they subconsciously wanted to escape. Lin Jiansheng sneered and chanted the Purifying Spirit Incantation again. This time, more psychic energy quickly surged towards the demonic creatures and surrounded them again in the blink of an eye.
The demonic creatures were completely distraught now.
“Do you still dare to run?” Lin Jiansheng asked sinisterly.
The demonic creatures no longer dared to run.
This time, as soon as Lin Jiansheng removed the psychic net, the demonic creatures rushed to the mines and worked hard to mine. They were very smart and knew how to work together. A group of powerful demonic creatures was in charge of mining, and a group of weak demonic creatures was in charge of transporting them.
From afar, they could only see balls of thick black fog floating around the ore mountain.
The mine on the left was extremely lively, but the two mines nearby were terrifyingly quiet. Li Jianbing and Gu Huan had already thrown away their hoes in shock and sat on the ore mountain helplessly. With their heads raised, they watched the busy demonic creatures with numb expressions.
They looked at Lin Jiansheng with admiration.
This time, they had misjudged him.
“Mr. Li, stop looking. If we can’t catch demonic creatures, we still have to dig ores ourselves.” After Gu Huan accepted his fate, he stood up, picked up the hoe on the ground, and started digging without complaint. Li Jianbing said enviously, “What’s so great about knowing how to control a demonic creature?!”
“What’s so great about it?” Gu Huan laughed at Li Jianbing for so being stupid. He stared at the boorish man who was teaching children how to read as he said with fear and admiration, “He’s a Purifying Spirit Master who can cultivate psychic power, use psychic power to deal with vengeful spirits, demonic creatures, and help Beast Tamers increase the potential of their beast forms. Do you know what kind of changes will happen if a person like him appears in a super Great World?”
Li Jianbing was stunned. He stammered, “What, what change?”
Gu Huan said with a serious expression, “He can form his own sect and become the first Grand Master of that sect!”
Li Jianbing was completely stunned.
Lin Jiansheng had sharp hearing and heard everything Gu Huan said.
Upon hearing Gu Huan’s words, Lin Jiansheng gradually understood the Grand State Master’s motive for bringing him to the Great World.
The Grand State Master wanted him to use his identity as a Purifying Spirit God to create a brand new system in the Great World. Under his influence, those Beast Tamers who couldn’t awaken their beast forms could try to cultivate the Purifying Spirit Art and could acknowledge him as a Grand Master.
He could form his own sect and become Yu Huang and the others’ strongest backer!
Lin Jiansheng suddenly said in the Spiritual Abode world, “Senior Su, accompany me to develop the Purifying Spirit Art in the three thousand worlds!”
Su Tingxue’s soul was still very weak and her voice came from the void—
“I’d be extremely happy to.”

Philand sat under the roof of the Time Pavilion’s beef noodles restaurant while sunbathing and taking an afternoon nap.
Suddenly, a shadow covered his face.
When Philand opened his eyes, he saw a very handsome man standing in front of him. The man was wearing a white suit and a pair of boundless golden chain glasses on his face. The ma asked with a smile, “Hello, sir. I’m Feng Yuncheng. I’m from the Holy Spirit Continent. I want to know which Great World this is.”
Philand was speechless.
Philand picked up the fan on the coffee table and shook it as he lamented with an unfathomable expression, “You’re the third one.”
For more than a hundred years, they had never seen a single ascender from the Holy Spirit Continent. On this day, three of them came.
Strange.
“Cang Lang Continent.” Philand couldn’t be bothered to explain to Feng Yuncheng. He threw him a beginner’s handbook and said, “Ask her if you have any questions!”
After Feng Yuncheng caught the beginner’s handbook, he cupped his hands at Philand and left.
Philand covered his face with a fan and laid under the rocking chair to catch up on sleep.
He was about to fall asleep when he heard footsteps again.
His ears twitched as he thought to himself, “What’s going on? Why are there so many ascenders these two days?”
Just as that thought flashed across his mind, Philand heard the person say, “Sir, I’m Sheng Xiao. I’m from the Holy Spirit Continent…”
Philand was speechless…
How strange!
