Upon entering the sect, he discovered it was called the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect," which is actually a demonic sect. This made Jiang Zhao feel very insecure, but fortunately, he has a cheat ability: "dual transmigration," to another world, the "Bizarre Resurgence World," where he can refine monsters to enhance his magical power.
