The long staircase built by ghost souls appears quite majestic on the Path of the Great Dao.
The silver whirlpool at the top of the ghost-built staircase continues to surge, and a white boot steps out from it, followed by an imposing figure.
This is a tall man dressed in a black robe, with a red sash around his waist. His long black hair flows freely, and his face is covered with a dark red mask resembling a sinister ghost, looking ferocious.
He stands at the top of the ghost-built staircase, like a ruler of the Nine Netherworlds, overlooking everything.
He doesn't walk down immediately but looks around as if seeking something.
After a while, he raises his right hand, and threads of black energy gather in his palm, gradually forming a black pearl shrouded in gray mist, expanding while the gray mist spills from it.
As the black pearl grows larger, the road below starts to tremble.
