Chapter 439 The Secret of the Night Ghost Tribe
Under the influence of the devout Blazing Angel's Life Base, the Female Night Ghost had no way to conceal anything and quickly revealed many pieces of information that shocked Tian Xun.
It turned out that the Night Ghost Tribe had arrived at Giant Ring Star much earlier than the Celestial Race, even earlier in discovering the Giant Ring Star.
After the Night Ghost Tribe was jointly annihilated by various races years ago, a few lucky survivors escaped to Giant Ring Star to recuperate and multiply.
The environment of Giant Ring Star was extremely suitable for the Night Ghost Tribe, because people could not go out at night, so it was almost impossible for the average person to realize they were Night Ghosts.
What was more astonishing was that because of their racial talents, the Night Ghost Tribe could not only move freely in the darkness of Giant Ring Star but also gained certain enhancements, giving them an advantage over other races that was difficult to match on Giant Ring Star.
If it weren't for this Female Night Ghost being overconfident and careless, thinking that she was certain to win, it wouldn't have been easy to capture her alive.
According to this Female Night Ghost, her name was Ye Xing, and she was one of the only four remaining pureblood members of the Night Ghost Tribe who had escaped to Giant Ring Star.
The other three purebloods were Ye Kong, Ye Yue, and Ye Yun.
Among the four pureblood Night Specters, only Ye Xing was at Ascension Level, while the remaining Ye Kong, Ye Yue, and Ye Yun were all at Nirvana Level.
There were only these four purebloods, but over the years, they hid in the shadows and developed many Hybrid Night Ghosts.
Now, those Hybrid Night Ghosts were scattered across the troops of the Tian, An, and Chi families, among which there were not a few at Nirvana Level.
Tian Xun's complexion changed unpredictably as she listened, realizing that among her subordinates, there were also quite a few Hybrid Night Ghosts, including a Nirvana Being she valued greatly.
What Ye Xing revealed was nothing short of shocking; according to her, the real rulers of Giant Ring Star were not any of the Tian, Chi, or An families, but the Night Ghost Tribe.
Contrary to what Lin Shen and his group had thought before, the Ghost Hand Imprint left by the Night Ghost Tribe was not meant to absorb human blood.

On the contrary, it was a method of bloodline inheritance.
The Night Ghost Tribe used the Ghost Hand Imprint to transform individuals from other races into Hybrid Night Ghosts.
The two dead humans simply couldn't withstand the Ghost Hand Imprint's bloodline transformation and died accidentally.
Those killed by the Ghost Hand Imprint looked as if their bodies had been drained of blood, but in reality, the blood was not drained—it turned into a transparent liquid because the transformation failed.
Those successfully transformed into Hybrid Night Ghosts did not have the characteristic double pupils. Instead, their pupils would be slightly red at night, and it was hard to notice if the color of their pupils was deep enough.
Hybrid Night Ghosts would obey the Pureblood Night Specters and even be influenced by the Song of Night to unhesitatingly carry out orders to self-destruct.
The great chaos caused by the Night Ghost Tribe back then was due to their widespread development of Hybrid Night Ghosts among all races, which had a significant impact.
Luckily, they were discovered in time, and several major races secretly united to lay out a plan, eradicating almost all the pureblood Night Ghosts.
As for the Hybrid Night Ghosts, many were killed at that time as well, but since they did not possess the ability to use Ghost Hand Imprints, they could not continue to develop more Hybrid Night Ghosts, so they were not as dangerous. It was only a matter of time before they were found and eliminated one by one.
It was completely unexpected that these four pureblood Night Specters had made a comeback on Giant Ring Star, and now many individuals within the three families had been turned into Hybrid Night Ghosts.
If it weren't for Ye Kong and his three companions being insufficiently strong, Giant Ring Star might have already become the domain of the Night Ghost Tribe.
Over the years, they have been avoiding detection by the Celestial Race and could only secretly develop their strength.
Like Yu's village, which is populated by human Mutators; there are hardly any at the Ascension Level, and originally, Ye Xing and his group wouldn't have even considered them.
It was only because of Lin Miao's recent large-scale purchase of egg fruits that caught their attention.
They wanted to know what Lin Miao was up to with the egg fruits purchase but did not wish to expose themselves.
Had they directly targeted Lin Miao and failed, resulting in his death, they feared it might draw Tian Xun's attention.
So they first let Ye Xing come here to develop a few humans as a trial. The results were as they expected; human bodies are relatively fragile, and the success rate for converting them into Hybrid Night Ghosts using the Ghost Hand Imprint was too low.
Originally, Ye Xing was planning to try a few more times. By carefully controlling the Ghost Hand Imprint, they would have been able to turn Lin Miao into a Hybrid Night Ghost.
Who knew that the arrival of Lin Shen and his companions would disrupt Ye Xing's plan? In order not to leak the presence of Night Ghosts here, they had to find a way to deal with them or turn them all into Hybrid Night Ghosts.
Unexpectedly, Kong Chuan's strength was far too formidable. Even the strongest among the four Pureblood Night Specters, Ye Xing, who had the advantage of darkness, failed to take down Kong Chuan. Ye Xing himself was even captured alive by Lin Shen.
When Tian Xun asked where the other two Pureblood Night Ghosts had gone and why they hadn't acted together with them, Ye Xing, who had always been powerless against the staunchly devout Seraph, suddenly displayed a moment of struggle and hesitation.
Unfortunately, her willpower and strength were still insufficient to contend with the devout Seraph, and she ultimately divulged a shocking secret that left even Tian Xun astonished.
Above this Giant Ring Star, there seemingly exists a Nirvana Level Base Mutation site, and it's not just any ordinary Nirvana Land; it's a mutated one.
Of course, that wasn't the truly surprising secret that shocked Tian Xun. What truly astonished him was when Ye Xing stated that the mutated Nirvana Land had been transformed by an Immortal being into a testing ground. If one could pass the trial, they would become the heir to that Immortal existence.
Ye Xing had not undergone Nirvana until now because she was preparing for that trial ground. She had to use the Nirvana Land within the trial ground to complete Nirvana. Only then would she have a chance to pass the trial and become the heir to the Immortal existence.
For this day, Ye Kong, Ye Yue, and Ye Yun had been working hard. Ye Yue and Ye Yun had gone to that trial site to prepare for Ye Xing's Nirvana; that's why only Ye Kong showed up last night.
"Is that trial ground located in the Utmost Darkness Domain?" Tian Xun asked pensively.
"Yes," Ye Xing replied, struggling to control herself before answering Tian Xun.
Frowning upon hearing this, Tian Xun said, "The Utmost Darkness Domain is situated at the pole of Giant Ring Star, where the light from the Star Belt can hardly reach. It is shrouded in darkness all year round. Fighting there would be greatly disadvantageous to us."
"Are you thinking of going there?" Lin Shen asked.
"Of course, we have to go. The legacy of an Immortal being is an unimaginable fortune." Tian Xun, staring at Ye Xing, asked again, "Do you know which Immortal being it is?"
"It should be the Little Wine Emperor," Ye Xing replied with a trembling voice. She was trying her best to control herself but could not help answering Tian Xun's questions.
"The Little Wine Emperor... That's the one who once rose to the third place on the race leaderboard on his own, but did not leave a name, only a line: 'Holding a sand pot in one hand, the river of stars within the cup of wine'..." Tian Xun was astonished.
