Do humans turn into ghosts upon death?

Hu Ma watched coldly, suddenly focusing, after death all humans turn into ghosts, but they must pass through the Intermediate Yin, within seven days the three souls gradually disperse, transforming into ghostly entities.

But this Li Family's Housekeeper, unexpectedly turned into a ghost instantly upon death.

Yet it was a critical moment, Hu Ma didn't have time to ponder further, he immediately focused his gaze on the Li Family's Housekeeper.

This was indeed a critical moment, if he could overcome this magic, killing him, turning him into a shattered soul, Hu Ma wouldn't hesitate.

"Don't think about it."

And as this thought emerged, that Li Family's Housekeeper also began to speak coldly: "You are Ten Incense Sticks Shousui, in the mortal realm, not even the State Preceptor can deal with you, but in the underworld, my Li Family is similarly indestructible, how can you possibly handle me?"

"Don't underestimate the Impermanence Li Family..."

He sighed softly: "Even the State Preceptor, no matter how powerful, loses to my Li Family in the underworld, not to mention you?"

Within his words, with his Divine Soul as the core, suddenly numerous white banners emerged, layer by layer, circle by circle, endless in number, endless in size.

Seemingly turning the entire visible area into a world of white, even blocking the Bloodstain Pond, and as the banners transformed, the Li Family's underground mansion around them shattered completely.

Wisps of Purple Qi rose, empowering the white banners, forming an eerie script.

Amidst the white banners, the Li Family's Housekeeper, his expression grave, unfolded the ledger of grievances, slowly chanting Hu Ma's name:

"Old Yin Mountain People, Master of Zhensui Mansion, Hu Ma, committing evil acts with ghosts in Mingzhou Prefecture, unforgivable crimes!"

"Punished as such, to heed Heaven and Earth!"

"..."

"Step aside!"

At this instant, Hu Ma's expression also changed, suddenly alerting Er Guotou and Miss Red Wine.

He already knew, Li Family held the ledger of grievances for the Bloodstain Pond, listing the names of those who committed sins, according to the rules, many deeds in the Path defy Heaven, once sins are committed, they are immediately punished.

Long ago, in Mingzhou, for a Hunger Ghost disaster, he bore sins for others, back then should have faced backlash, but peculiarly, Li Family withheld punishment.

Not only against himself, Li Family treated everyone the same.

Names listed but neither questioned nor punished, until the critical moment, taken out, borrowing the power of Heaven to bind people, this method surpasses any soul-collecting techniques in the Path.

Li Family's two major dharma methods, name calling and soul trapping, to evade their magic, one must ensure the opponent cannot call out their name, thus the world's capable people prepare in advance.

But Li Family's preparations are equally thorough, borrowing from the Bloodstain Pond, retaining the right to call the names of any capable person.

Thus, as Hu Ma grew more wary, now in Impermanence Li Family, following the order of the Li Family's Housekeeper, early waiting Li Family members, with somber expressions, gathered above an old well in the Li Family yard, placing a weight on it.

Twenty years ago, a strange well appeared in Zhangzhou, locals often heard someone calling their name from the well, thinking someone accidentally fell in, when they approached, they lost their souls.

They would come to the well at midnight, casting themselves in death.

Li Family encountered this strange well, regarded as a strange treasure, moved their entire clan here, pressing the well cover with a weight, for twenty years, day and night using Secret Technique to reinforce.

Now, the weight pressed on the well, preventing it from calling names for twenty years, yet it is unclear how much power it accumulated.

Until now, Li Family members received the Old Master's message, finally gathered here, then burnt incense, bowed, and several seniors except the old lady from the Li Family, simultaneously moved the weight away.

As the well reopened to daylight, yin qi rushed to the sky.

Li Family members clumsily wrote Hu Ma's name and birth date on talisman paper, lighting it, throwing it into the well.

The next moment, inside this old well, a gust of yin wind emerged, making heaven and earth change color, roaring, faintly resembling human voices, echoing a name:

"Master of Zhensui Mansion, Hu Ma!"

"..."

"Old well calling name, trapping soul and seizing longevity?"

At this moment, Hu Ma clearly saw the appearance of that old well, because he was in the underworld, and it truly aimed at him specifically.

He could even feel as his name was called, his cultivation rapidly drained away, continuously flowing entirely into that old well.

Ten Columns cultivation, difficultly acquired, but taken by that old well, easy an effort indeed, even if his cultivation method differs from others, what was taken is genuinely impossible to regain.

At this moment, he finally realized the terror of Li Family's magic.

Not only did they prepare well for name calling, but even the fundamental aspect of name calling was arranged accordingly, concerning Hu Ma's fate, anyone attempting to call his name could suffer due to his heavy fate, causing backlash.

But Li Family did differently, cultivating a well secretly for twenty years, and stealing Bloodstain Pond's magic day and night, infusing it into the well.

Upon the moment of unlocking, the deadly power rising from this well could instantly match the force of the entire Bloodstain Pond.

The key point is, since this magic does not truly kill Hu Ma, but rather takes away his cultivation, trapping it in the well, Li Family can even avoid Heaven's backlash.

When the matter reaches this point, the magic is complete.

Execution Soul Path's magic, only distinguishes success or failure, never leaving room for entanglement.

Now the magic is done, deadly might revealed, like an Evil Blade, once drawn, will inevitably strike at one's neck.

This strike is undefendable, can only dodge, but cannot evade cleanly.

If one just crossed into the Non-human Realm, might escape thirty percent of their family method's power, Non-ghost Realm, could avoid fifty percent, reaching Non-god Realm, might dodge seventy percent.

To State Preceptor level, one's destined fate already very light, able to bypass ninety percent.

But the issue is, once Li Family's twenty-year magic triggers, earth-shaking, even just ten percent power could easily extinguish anyone.

He didn't cross the bridge, truly exists in the human world, couldn't evade even ten percent.

Even if he cast Heaven and Earth Unmoving Seal, this magic won't spare him, like every message will enter its destined phone, this magic will strike upon him.

This is Li Family's mother form, Non-god magic.

The world's top dharma method, if truly assessed, it could rank within the top six among the current formidable skills.

Hu Ma's entire Ten Incense Sticks cultivation, upon his name being called out from that old well, immediately lost three columns, followed by column upon column, making his body increasingly light, in the blink of an eye, only one column remained.

"Mr. Hu..."

Meanwhile, Li Family's Housekeeper, his figure illusory, amid the rolling white banners, shouted deeply: "This shouldn't have become such a mutually damaging outcome."

"If you are willing to concede now, my Li Family still has the chance to cover that well once more..."

...

...

"This is bad..."

Next to him, Er Guotou's expression changed greatly seeing this scene, waving to summon the altar flag, wanting to assist Hu Ma, but beside him, Miss Red Wine suddenly intervened, grasping him: "Don't do meaningless things."

"The deciding move isn't here, Tieguanyin has other arrangements for these matters."
