I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 93 92: Demonic Fire Refining Soul; Returning to Kunwu Mountain, Million Merits; [Two Chapters Combined into One, Words Chapter]

"Oh no! The witch Tai Ming is going to set fire to and burn those mortals to death!" Everyone looked anxiously.

The Qi Refiner had sharp eyes and could see the entire situation in the cave from seven or eight miles away.

"Go!" Upon seeing this, Hao Zha waved his hand, and hundreds of Silver Spear Soldiers who had already rushed to the valley entrance rushed up.

"Bang!" The bowstring exploded, and a ten-foot-long crossbow arrow flew out, smashing half of the body of a silver spear soldier into pieces, but the other soldiers turned a blind eye, and some even took off their armor and climbed the mountain naked.

The divine crossbow has a tremendous force; even wearing armor would not be able to resist it, and it would also hinder the progress of climbing the mountain.

Hundreds of feet behind him, a row of divine crossbows were activated, and the powerful crossbows shot into the valley and suppressed the enemy's crossbows.

These elite soldiers were indeed brave and valiant. With their bare chests, they quickly rushed to the valley entrance while the magic crossbow was reloading. With one shot, they shot through the demon who was still trying to reload the crossbow.

"kill!!"

The densely packed Silver Spear Army with long spears like a forest quickly blocked the wide cave entrance and started to fight with the monsters armed with iron knives and swords that rushed out of the cave.

There was blood splattering everywhere; those monsters were all farmers and were no match for the elite Silver Spear Army.

But because he was brainwashed, he was extremely difficult to deal with. Even after being shot several times, he still held his neck and bit it with his mouth. He was truly fearless.

But even so, ordinary strong mortals are simply unable to match the silver spear soldiers who have cultivated the secret art of qi and blood and are invulnerable to swords.

These Silver Spear Soldiers have consumed massive amounts of spiritual medicines and practiced secret methods of military formations and blood circulation. Once they use their skills, an ordinary blade would only leave a white mark if it hit their shoulder or arm. Moreover, their strength is extremely great.

Unless you use heavy weapons, such as bone sticks, iron spikes, hammers, heavy whips, and iron maces.

So in no time, the Silver Spear Army threw away their long spears, took out their swords, and chopped the dozens of monsters at the entrance of the cave into meat paste.

Ji Yuan, Gu Lingmiao, and Chen Hai, along with many wizards and strange people, followed closely behind them and arrived at the cave entrance.

Suddenly, a gray light like a sword, filled with deathly aura, withered the surrounding grass and trees, and swept straight towards the soldiers at the cave entrance.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. Ji Yuan shouted softly, and with a sweep of his sleeves, invisible wind and mist swept in, bringing the gray light into his sleeves.

"Swish!" The wide cuff of the green robe was corroded by a poison and a big hole appeared immediately.

"What!" In the cave, the fairy Tai Ming who was holding a black banner was surprised.

Before she could come to her senses, Chen Hai shouted, and the sword flew out of his body, rushing into the cave like a stream of light several feet long.

"Old Immortal, be careful!"

"Puff, puff" the sword light shot past like a blade, instantly piercing through the seven or eight men who were blocking Tai Ming.

The sword light swirled, instantly breaking the weapons along the way into two pieces, and harvested the heads of several monsters.

“How brave!” The black and white emissaries screamed, jumped about a few feet, and smashed down with the mourning sticks in their hands, sweeping the sword light out of the cave.

"Swoosh!" The flying sword fell into Chen Hai's hand, and the two-finger green blade, which had once been so sharp, was now stained with black and gray dirt.

"Don't let the sword fly; the mourning stick has death energy and can contaminate the sword." Gu Lingmiao quickly reminded.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shot out streaks of fire into the cave, trying to force the remaining monsters out.

Her Wanlilongyan Arrow is very powerful, but once it explodes, the entire beehive will be reduced to ashes.

Gu Lingmiao and Chen Hai were fighting with the Taiming Fairy in the cave; the two black and white envoys were holding mourning sticks and blocking the silver spear army at the entrance of the cave, and they were in a stalemate for a while.

Ji Yuan could not bear it any longer. If they continued to fight like this, when would they be able to capture this group of evil thieves?

He reached out and grabbed from three or five miles away; suddenly a strong wind blew in the cave.

“Magic power!” The black and white envoys were caught off guard and were knocked down by the strong wind. Before they could use their martial arts or magic, they were captured by the silver spear soldiers who rushed over.

Tai Ming screamed, rode his flying staff into the air, waved the black flag in his hand, and swept a path with gray light and death aura, and flew out of the cave.

“Where are you going!!” Chen Hai knew that Gu Lingmiao had been holding back, which provoked his senior brother to take action, and he hurriedly wanted to take out his sword to help.

But before his sword flew out, a gust of wind hundreds of feet in the air swept up the Fairy Tai Ming who was flying several feet in the air, and immediately blew her in the air like a wheel.

The old woman Tai Ming was dozens of feet tall in the mouth, like a windmill, with all her magic skills, but she couldn't use any of them at all, and she could only scream continuously.

"Ah!!! Great Lord, save me!" Tai Ming was locked in the wind and spinning in the air. She screamed and her face turned fierce. She suddenly opened her mouth and bit off her left index finger and middle finger.

He chewed the two pieces in his mouth with a "crunch, crunch" sound, his whole body still upside down in the wind, but there was a trace of deathly aura lingering around him.

"It's a method of sacrificing to the ghost saint in the underworld! Stop her quickly!" Hao Zha shouted anxiously.

"Die!! The Great One has arrived! You will all die!" Tai Ming roared madly in the wind, spitting blood and flesh. His whole body was filled with black smoke and strange powers swept around him.

“Hahahaha!” A shrill wailing sound was heard from the black smoke. The skin and flesh kept exploding, and the body kept expanding, actually resisting the wind for a while.

The breath continued to surge, and the air was filled with deathly aura. "Puff puff", a pitch-black body, about a meter tall, with strong muscles, two crossed on the head, and a bone fork in hand, flew out from the black smoke.

"Zheng!" A white light flashed, and Chen Hai slashed down with his flying sword in the air.

The monster did not dodge or evade, allowing the flying sword to hit its head with a "bang!" Sparks flew immediately, but the sharp flying sword could not penetrate it.

"What monster?" Chen Hai looked at the ugly monster in surprise.

"It's Yaksha!! They believe in the Great King of Hell and Ghost Emperor, who say that when they enter the netherworld they will transform into Yaksha celestial beings with all kinds of wonderful appearances and will be immortal!" Hao Zha replied.

“Hahaha!! You ants, now you know how powerful the ancestor is, die!” Tai Ming transformed into an ugly monster, laughing ferociously, holding a bone fork in his hand, with layers of deathly aura lingering around him, and rushed towards everyone.

"Hide quickly! The Yaksha has the aura of death, and any living person who comes into contact with it will die! Only peach wood can control it, quickly bring peach branches from the camp!" Hao Zha hurried everyone.

Hao Zha has been fighting these evil gangs for several years. Although he does not know their origins, he knows more about them than anyone else.

He had seen these monsters burn people to death with fire before, and then turn them into ugly monsters called Yakshas in the flames.

It was previously concluded that using peach branches as spears and swords could defeat these monsters and eliminate the deadly aura.

However, an ordinary yaksha transformed from a mortal is only three feet tall, and his strength is similar to that of a cultivator with a hundred years of cultivation.

The Yaksha transformed by the Tai Ming Fairy was nearly two meters tall, and its strength increased almost tenfold.

Everyone was about to dodge, but Ji Yuan sneered and did not move. The wind in the air condensed into wind ropes that were about ten feet wide and dozens of feet long, which trapped Tai Ming Xian Po from all directions.

She continued to struggle, but to no avail. The lingering deathly aura was blown away by the wind.

The wind swept it up hundreds of feet in an instant, and then swirled like a meteor and fell to the ground with a loud bang, creating a hole several feet in size.

This scene stunned everyone who was facing a great enemy.

"Capture her!" Hao Zha reacted and ordered all the soldiers to attack together and lock up the confused Tai Ming Fairy who had fallen into the pit.

“Junior brother, you have really good skills…” Gu Lingmiao looked at Ji Yuan, amazed at his exquisite wind-controlling magic.

"It's just the wind-controlling technique taught by the sect. It's not worth mentioning." Ji Yuan shook his head.

All the demon leaders were captured, and the few remaining demons in the cave were soon killed; the soldiers rescued all the women and children who had been abducted in the cave.

Ji Yuan looked for a long time, and as expected, he did not find his sister-in-law among those people.

Afterwards, the patriarchs of all the families in Lingdong County came to praise everyone's magical powers and spells, not to mention the killing of the demon party.

The local strange men and wizards who came to help hunt down the monster were all rewarded, and they all left happily.

The people of Xuanwei Sect took Taiming Fairy and the two black and white envoys to the camp at the foot of the mountain first.

"Brother Hao, please hand over the demon head to us for disposal."

"Of course!" Hao Zha readily agreed.

Anyway, if they are sent to the capital Bodu, these evildoers will be executed; since they have come for this evil leader, it is not a bad idea to hand them over to Ji Yuan and others for disposal.

Then he ordered the soldiers to set up another military tent and brought Tai Ming and the two envoys, Black and White, in to be interrogated and dealt with by Ji Yuan and the other two.

Inside the military tent which was several feet wide.

Ji Yuan and the other two sat at the top.

The monster transformed by Tai Ming was tied up tightly with a thick iron chain on her wrists; her eyes were bloodshot, and she was still struggling and howling: "Let me go! The Great Lord has come to the world, and you will all die! Die!"

"Shut up!" The escorting soldier was furious and swung the handle of his knife down with such force that Ming's teeth fell out.

"How dare a mere kid like you call yourself an immortal? You really don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!" Gu Lingmiao sneered.

The word "immortal" is supreme.

Many powerful beings who have cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years only dare to call themselves "saints" or "ancestors", but dare not call themselves "immortals".

This old woman has only cultivated her magic power for a few years, and her skills are not even as good as those of ordinary disciples of Teng Haifeng. Yet she dares to act rampant in the countryside and calls herself an old immortal. She is so arrogant.

Before Tai Ming could say anything, the two black and white envoys who were also tied up beside him shouted, "So what? Who do you think you are? How dare you go against our Great Lord!!"

"Who is the Great Venerable? What are your origins?"

"Hmph! It's okay to tell you loudly; but listen carefully, my Great Master is the Great Sage of the Underworld, the supreme Ghost Emperor; He wants to unify the Underworld, so he specially sent us to the Yang World to find troops!" said the White Evil Envoy proudly.

"This old immortal is Viraksha, a general under the Soul-Catching Envoy. As for me and my brothers, we are the left and right black and white evil spirits of the Soul-Catching Division."

"I know you are Qi-refining practitioners of the Xuanwei Dao. Haha, if you are smart, let us go quickly. Otherwise, the envoy will send millions of ghost soldiers with billions of flags to attack the world of the living. At that time..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, the soldier next to him hit the Black Demon Master's mouth with the handle of his knife, causing him to scream in pain.

Ghosts are different from souls.

Ghosts are tangible and are not afraid of sunlight. If they do not have any cultivation, they cannot fly; they cannot pass through walls, and they cannot be invisible and shadowless. They also have a lifespan.

So being hit will also hurt.

Once a ghost has cultivated to a high level, it will also have various magic skills.

"Just answer whatever the three immortals ask; don't say too much, or you'll burst your mouth with a knife handle!" The bearded soldier grabbed the hair of the black and white envoys and threatened fiercely.

The black evil master who was hit by the knife handle raised his head, showing that he was not afraid, and snorted coldly.

What greeted him was another "smack" from the bearded soldier with the handle of his knife, which directly knocked out several of the Black Evil's teeth and made him spit out a mouthful of blood as green as moss.

Ji Yuan and the other two at the top did not say anything, which meant they tacitly agreed.

The bearded soldier was very smart and ordered his men to hold the black evildoer's hand; a toothpick-like iron stick escaped from his waist.

"No! I don't dare anymore!" Heisha struggled endlessly, his black face turned pale.

"Ah! No!!" The shrill wails echoed throughout the military tent.

Ten thin iron sticks were inserted into the fingers of Heisha through the gaps between his fingernails. The pain made him tremble all over and struggle, but it was of no avail.

Bai Sha, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that he trembled; Tai Ming's cheeks also twitched slightly.

"Haha, I've seen a lot of troublemakers. If it weren't for the immortals here, I would have to let you know what military law is..." The bearded man sneered.

It would be torturous.

Besides the prison cells, there is the army.

No matter how stubborn or tough a person is, he won't be able to stand up at all when he reaches these two places.

Look, the bearded man took out another iron skewer.

Being pressed to the ground, the black demon with ten fingers full of iron sticks was terrified: "My fingers are already full of iron sticks, you bastard, you are taking the iron sticks again, what else do you want to do!"

"Do you want to nail my toes? Come on!" The Black Evil Envoy didn't want to lose face, so he mustered up his courage and looked ready to die.

The bearded man smiled sinisterly: "Nail cracks are not even an appetizer. I'm curious, do you ghosts have any cows?"

"This thin iron stick is usually inserted into the small hole where people pee, through the urethra into the stomach, stirring... stirring... guess how it feels..." The bearded man smiled playfully.

The bearded man was the sergeant of the Divine Crossbow Army. He used to deal with troublemakers in the army. These were just small tricks, and he was very skilled at them. He always carried iron sticks and various tools with him.

"Turn this nigger upside down for me and strip him of his pants!" The bearded man rubbed his hands, his tone sounding somewhat excited.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingmiao frowned.

These guys fighting in the military camp are really vulgar.

Seeing four or five strong men turning him upside down and trying to take off his pants, the Black Demon finally couldn't hold it anymore and cried out loudly: "No! Grandpa, spare me! I was wrong, Grandpa!!"

The bearded man ignored him and was about to stab the black demon in the lower body with the needle when Ji Yuan finally spoke up, "Wait!"

"My Lord!" Upon hearing this, the bearded man bowed and put away his hand, his face full of respect, even a bit of flattering.

"Where are you from? What are you doing? What kind of power are you? I am not interested. I only want to ask one thing."

"If what you say is good, I can consider releasing you two. If what you say is not good..." Ji Yuan looked at the black and white envoys.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, just ask! I will tell you everything!" The Black Evil Envoy was really scared, so he spoke first.

"Waste!" Viraksha, also known as Taiming Immortal, cursed with disgust.

"Have you ever been to Qingtang Township, Ze County, Lingyang Prefecture?"

"I've been there! I've been there!"

"Have you ever seen a person named Qin Yueru?"

The Black Evil Envoy nodded: "I have seen it!"

"Shut up!" Piluocha and Baisha shouted angrily.

The bearded soldier was also furious. He raised his sword and swung it twice, hitting Viracha and Baisha with his sword, causing their cheeks to swell.

"You two bastards, who told you to talk? If you dare to interrupt me again, I'll use my iron skewer to teach you a lesson!" The bearded man yelled and couldn't help but raise the knife handle to hit him again.

"Brother Hao Gang, take them both out and treat them properly first. I have something to ask this white-faced ghost." Ji Yuan said.

The bearded soldier of the Divine Crossbow Army was a general of Hao Zha's family, named Hao Gang. He was assigned by Hao Zha to assist Ji Yuan in interrogating the three Virachas.

"Yes!" Hao Gang was somewhat flattered. He quickly waved his hand and took a few soldiers with him to drive Viracha and Baisha out of the military tent.

Soon, shrill wailing and whipping sounds were heard from outside the tent.

The frightened Heisha looked even more terrified, and he quickly said, "It was the old immortal! He took the Virasha and put on human skin, and brought Aunt Qin back!"

He could see that Qin Yueru was undoubtedly the most important person who was questioning the young man in blue.

"Where is the person!" Ji Yuanteng stood up and walked forward.

"Mrs. Qin and the others were taken away by the envoy. The envoy was very satisfied and even rewarded Viracha with the Yinsha Banner."

"Envoy?"

"It is the Soul Seducer of the Soul Seducing Department; Lord Ke Luotai."

"What is going on? Why would the soul-catcher capture a mere country girl from the mortal world?" Ji Yuan became more and more confused.

"It's not about catching just one; it's about catching many."

"We are all the Yakshas of the Soul-Catching Department. A Yaksha means a military supervisor. Piluocha is the flag bearer. He is in charge of me and Suo Li. He is responsible for recruiting soldiers for the Great Master in the human world and finding beautiful women to serve as the Yakshas."

"Mrs. Qin and tens of thousands of women of marriageable age were taken to the underworld by the soul-catcher, Lord Keluotai."

The names of these ghosts and gods in the underworld are very different from those in the world of the living.

Suo Li is the name of the White Evil Envoy; the Black Evil Envoy is called Ke Jian.

The true identity of Tai Ming Xian Po is the flag bearer of the netherworld; her real name is Virakha, and her duty is to supervise the army.

Dazun means the World Honored One; also known as the Great Ghost Emperor; he is the ghost saint of the underworld Fengdu city, the innate underworld god, and his status is equivalent to the immortal founder of the Hunyuan sect in the four poles and eight wildernesses; but his strength is much inferior to that of the Hunyuan sect founder.

Under the command of the Great Master are the Soul-Catching Department, the Yaksha Department, the Hungry Ghost Department, the Blood Hell Department, and the Judge Department.

In each department, there are hundreds of thousands of ghosts.

The Soul-Catching Department is responsible for finding strong men and beautiful women from the world of the living and seducing them into the underworld.

The Yaksha Division is responsible for conquering the underworld; the Hungry Ghost Division is responsible for creating new ghosts.

The Blood Prison Division locks up enemy ghosts and evil spirits and puts them in prison, where various tortures are used.

There are also judges who are responsible for handling various matters.

Among them, the Soul-Catching Department and the Yaksha Department were newly established.

Yakshas are a new race created by the Great Venerable, which is different from ordinary ghosts. They are more powerful than ordinary hungry ghosts. They require people, animals, and souls from the mortal world to enter the netherworld and transform into Yakshas.

The Soul-Catching Department is responsible for searching for suitable souls in the world of the living.

Mainly the soul of a strong man; it can transform into a flying yaksha, extremely brave and powerful.

The soul of a beautiful woman can be transformed into a Blood Hell Yaksha and rewarded to the ghost commanders of various tribes.

"Doesn't that mean that Qin Yueru went to the underworld and became a Yaksha?" Ji Yuan's face was gloomy.

"No, no, no! Not necessarily; you won't necessarily become a Yaksha!" He Jian said quickly.

"Only those with a strong soul and a strong will who can survive the suffering of the Yin Pond can transform from an ugly human body into a powerful and beautiful Yaksha!"

In his eyes, Yaksha is not ugly; she is powerful and beautiful.

But people are ugly.

Their aesthetic taste is different from that of humans. After entering the world of the living, they choose the uglier the person, the better.

"How did you get to the living world? Is there a passage to the netherworld?"

"No..." He shook his head firmly.

"We were all sent here by the soul-catcher, Master Keluotai, using his great magical powers."

"You have to go back. The only way to go back is to jump into the fire and burn yourself to death. Once you die, you will naturally go back."

"If you want to go to the netherworld, I have a copy of the Ghost Emperor's Great Sutra. You only need to recite this sutra and jump into the fire to burn yourself. Then you can enter the netherworld, Fengdu. There will be a soul-collecting messenger to take you there..."

"You are spreading rumors to confuse the people!" Chen Hai shouted.

"Really, really; that's what the Soul Catcher said before we came up. If I tell even a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning and my soul will fly to pieces!" He nodded firmly.

Gu Lingmiao asked: "What is Fengdu Territory? Why does the underworld want to recruit people from the mortal world to enter? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Ji Yuan was also somewhat puzzled; he had read a lot of secrets in the classics. It was true that there had never been such a thing as a ghost seducing a mortal before; the two worlds of yin and yang had always kept to themselves.

The living cannot enter the netherworld; the netherworld does not want the living to enter either.

This also makes the Netherworld extremely mysterious to the four poles and eight wildernesses; there are very few records about it, and people only know that there are many powerful people in it, but they don’t even have the names of those powerful people.

It is recorded in an ancient book called "Langyuan Miscellaneous Notes" that in ancient times there was a senior named Qing Mingzi who liked to travel to the eight poles and four seas; one time, for unknown reasons, he accidentally entered the underworld.

Qing Mingzi wandered in the underworld for hundreds of years, fought with many ghosts and gods, but also made many friends.

Finally, thanks to his friend in the underworld, he met an almighty powerful being named [Nine Nether Ghost Ancestor Saint], who sent him out of the Netherworld.

Qing Mingzi stayed in the underworld for more than three hundred years; when he returned to the world of the living, he found that less than a year had passed.

I just felt that the underworld was vast and boundless; but everything was lifeless, everything was gray and gloomy. From time to time, cold winds blew through the void around me, tearing the creatures of the underworld into pieces; it was extremely dangerous.

The creatures in the underworld do not eat food; they only eat yin energy and various aromas. The various ghosts have strange shapes, and most of them are very weak, have no intelligence, and cannot communicate.

It is said that there is no sun in the underworld, but only ten moons. Those ten moons are the transformations of the ten most powerful people in the underworld, one of whom is the [Nine Nether Ghost Ancestor Saint].

"The Great Venerable wants to fight against Yin Tianzi together with Ghost Ancestor and Nether Saint; Yin Tianzi wants to unify the Netherworld; the Great Venerable's subordinates have suffered heavy casualties."

"In order to have more troops to fight against Emperor Yin, they created the Yaksha tribe and asked us to bring people down from the mortal world..."

For endless ages, the underworld has been in constant war.

Among them, the most powerful are the Ghost Emperor, the Nine Nether Ghost Saint, the Underworld Saint, the Iron City Mountain Dharma Ancestor, the Yellow Spring Ghost Lord, the Underworld Cave Lord, the Evil Sea Lord, the Hibiscus City Lord, the Yama Yin Saint, and the Evil Prison Underworld King. Each of them occupies a part of the underworld and are collectively known as the Ten Kings of the Underworld.

But these ten kings of the underworld are not the supreme powerful beings at the level of "Hunyuan Patriarch" as speculated by many practitioners in the Yang world.

In fact, all the Ten Kings of the Underworld have only achieved half a step towards becoming an indestructible body; their magical powers are second only to those of the Great Saint and the immortals of the human race.

This also caused the Netherworld to be in a state of chaos; the Ten Kings all wanted to unify the Netherworld, unify the entire Netherworld's destiny, and go one step further.

A million years ago, Yin Tianzi was the first to defeat Yama Mingsheng. He devoured Yama Mingsheng and refined him into the Dharma body of Yama Yinshengzi, which made Yin Tianzi's strength gradually surpass that of other Yinshengs.

He also successively suppressed or exiled five of the most powerful beings in the underworld, including the Yellow Spring Ghost Lord, the Iron City Law Ancestor, the Evil Sea Lord, the Hibiscus City Lord, and the Evil Prison Pluto.

In the entire underworld, King Yama Yin has already obtained six points; his strength is growing stronger and he is about to truly achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

The only four powerful people left in the Netherworld are the Netherworld Cave Master, the Netherworld Saint, the Nine Nether Ghost Ancestor, and the Great Ghost Emperor, and they are already unable to hold on alone.

So the Four Saints united to fight against Emperor Yin; as the number of ghosts under their command was decreasing, the Four Saints created the Yaksha clan.

Compared with practicing in the Yang world, the great power belongs to oneself and does not require too much support from other forces.

The underworld is different; the more ghosts and followers the Ghost King controls, the stronger he will be.

Without his followers, the Ghost King’s strength would be reduced by half.

However, the Ten Saints of the Underworld are all innate ghosts and gods, and they can create ghosts. Therefore, new ghosts are constantly emerging from the underworld itself.

However, as the battle became more intense, the newly born ghosts were not able to be dissipated and destroyed quickly.

Therefore, the Yaksha tribe is a race created by the powerful ones in the Netherworld in order to make up for the shortage of tribes.

The souls with strong will in the world of the living are led into the netherworld, cleansed in a pool of evil, given birth to flesh and blood, and their bodies are reshaped to become Yaksha.

Therefore, Viraksha transformed himself into Taimingxianpo to lure those young men, women and children with stronger wills by offering the promise of "becoming an immortal" and "gaining power".

Regardless of gender, as long as one has a strong will, they can shape a body in the evil pool and transform into a Yaksha, which is more powerful than ordinary ghosts.

Some women of extremely high quality do not have to enter the evil pool. After being sent to the underworld, they will become rewards from the ghost commanders of various tribes, or become maids of the Great Master.

Children can be turned into blood food for the Yaksha tribe.

"You mean, Qin Yueru was sent to the Netherworld and is dead?" Ji Yuan's voice was as cold as iron.

"No, no, no! Aunt Qin is of a relatively high quality. I remember that she and several other high quality women were taken directly into the underworld by the envoy."

"Yes! Now I remember; she and several other beautiful young women of relatively high quality selected from dozens of counties in Jingzhou were headed by a woman named Yang Huaer. There were thirteen of them in total, and they were called the Thirteen Hairpins."

"The envoy Keluotai is very pleased with these Thirteen Beauties and is reluctant to let them enter the evil pond. He said he would bring them back to Fengdu City to serve the Great Lord."

"Don't worry, Immortal. The Great Venerable never gets close to women. He said he was serving the Great Venerable, but in fact, he was just cleaning up the sundries in the palace. He should... his life should be safe."

Ji Yuan frowned: "Since she has entered the Netherworld, doesn't that mean she is dead? Who are you trying to deceive by saying this?"

Yang people, or pure matter, cannot enter the underworld.

Only souls can enter.

Only then in the underworld can the ghost body be formed.

He Jian shrank his neck and said, "It was Aunt Qin who wanted to do it herself. We never force others. Oh no; it was Viraksha who liked to force others. Suo Ling and I don't like to force others."

It means that Tai Ming Xian Po likes to force people into the underworld.

The Black and White Envoys are subordinates of the Fairy Tai Ming, but they don't like to force others to die.

But if it is not forced, it is also deception and inducement.

"At that time, it was Aunt Qin who asked Viraksha to find a child named Erwa in Wolongling."

"Viracha disagreed, because at that time there was an extremely terrifying person with great magical powers deep in the Wolong Mountains. He was so powerful that he could blow Viraksha and us into ashes with just a breath."

"Fortunately, that terrifying existence is going through a tribulation."

"Finally, Grandma Qin wanted to leave, but Viraksha wouldn't let her go. So she started crying, and Viraksha had someone forcibly drag her away."

"In the end it was me! I was the one who told Viraksha that the envoy said that only the living can come down voluntarily. You forced Grandma Qin. When Grandma Qin died, she didn't recite the Great Sutra, so she couldn't go to the underworld, right?" He insisted on taking credit for himself.

"Viracha hesitated for a moment, and then Grandma Qin bowed her head and begged."

"She said that as long as Virakusha goes into Wolongling and finds Erwa, she will be willing to go with Virakusha, absolutely voluntarily!"

"Viracha still disagreed because she was afraid of the terrifying existence in Wolongling and was also afraid that she would not be able to find that Erwa."

"In the end, Viraksha went there anyway, but didn't find him. She came back and lied to Grandma Qin, saying that Erwa was swallowed by the terrifying green bull demon on Wolong Ridge. She said she saw it with her own eyes."

"If Grandma Qin wants to seek revenge, she can go to the Netherworld and ask our Ghost Emperor, the Great Venerable, for help. As long as she can see the Great Venerable, the Great Venerable will be soft-hearted and will definitely help her capture the Green Bull Demon and avenge her."

"Grandma Qin sat in the fire, and after her body burned, she went down to see the Great Master... What a good girl, she didn't even say a word..."

"So...so Grandma Qin was deceived by that guy Virakha..." He Jian said cautiously.

He was afraid that if he was not careful, the young man in green robe with a gloomy face and murderous intent in front of him would slap him to death with one palm.

He Jian had no idea that the young man in green robe in front of him was the Erwa that Qin Yueru was looking for.

"Junior Brother Ji, please accept my condolences." Gu Lingmiao patted Ji Yuan on the shoulder.

“Brother, let’s go into the Netherworld and kill that damn Ghost Emperor!” Chen Hai’s eyes widened with anger, and he stood up with his sword raised.

He Jian was shocked; the Ghost Emperor was his god; how could he possibly kill him?

Not to mention being killed, even if the Great Master looked at you, you would be instantly reduced to ashes.

The specific course of events was obviously not as simple as he had said; one could not be forced to go to the Netherworld, and once in the Netherworld, under the command of the Great Ghost Emperor, one could enjoy endless pleasures.

In fact, when Qin Yueru fell into their hands, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Even if you want to run, how can you get away, let alone escape from the clutches of Virūpākṣa.

Qin Yueru knew that she was going to die, so she begged Viraksha to find Ji Yuan so that she could see him for the last time.

Viraksha did look for it, but he did not find it.

Ji Yuan's face turned pale and his clenched fists gradually loosened.

The murderous aura on his body disappeared, and he shook his head and said to Chen Hai: "Go and kill that Virasha outside with 10,000 swords, and then torture him to death. Not a single sword can be left out."

As his practice deepened over the years, Ji Yuan rarely got so angry; but now he was still a little out of control.

His facial expression showed no emotion.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: "Sister-in-law... all the trouble you have done is really making me suffer."

He felt extremely complicated. He was moved but also speechless. He scolded Qin Yueru, but in the end he felt some understanding and relief.

This girl is really stupid.

If it were Ji Yuan, he might have made the same choice.

After all, for Qin Yueru, her father was an alcoholic and had never taken care of her. She had lived in the Ji family since she was a child, which was equivalent to a child bride.

Later, Ji's father and mother died of illness one after another; and her husband Ji Ping joined the army and never returned.

If they say he won't come back, there's a 90% chance that he died outside.

The only relative she has is the silly boy Ji Yuan.

She treated Ji Yuan as her younger brother, but in reality, he was her son and someone she could rely on.

Ji Yuan also regarded her as his mother; however, Ji Yuan was a reborn person, and after being struck by lightning, he awakened his memories of his past life. At first, he did not truly regard this little girl, who was much younger than him in his previous life, as his sister-in-law or elder.

But he gradually adapted and integrated his identities; he also regarded Qin Yueru as his only relative.

This is blood ties without blood relationship.

So Ji Yuan can understand his sister-in-law's thoughts and obsessions.

I felt extremely sad, but also somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, there are really immortals in this world.

There really is a ghost.

When a person dies, there is still a chance that he will enter the netherworld and become a ghost.

As long as it is not a complete end and there is no trace left in the world, then it is easy to deal with.

It's easy to enter this underworld, but it's extremely difficult to get out.

For Ji Yuan, he had to go to the Netherworld, but not now. Now, except for death, he could not reach the Netherworld.

Even if you commit suicide, you may not necessarily go to the underworld.

One also has to recite the Great Ghost Emperor's Treasure Zircon so that one can be guided by the Great Emperor's magical power and have one's soul led to the netherworld.

But in that state, how could he rescue Qin Yueru from the hands of the Ghost Emperor?

Once only the soul is left, then only one ten-thousandth of the strength in the body will remain.

All magic powers and spells will no longer exist.

Only the two magical powers in the soul are still there.

This is also the supreme mystery of supernatural powers. Once you prove it, you will have it forever. Even if you die, you will still be a heroic ghost. You are not like ordinary Qigong practitioners. No matter how powerful they are when they are alive, they will be as weak as a moth after death.

If one's supernatural powers are great and one can directly draw on the power of heaven and earth, there is no need for magic power.

"Ah..." Ji Yuan sighed.

No wonder he had repeatedly sought help from masters like Linghe Zhenren before the great catastrophe.

All gained nothing.

The people are gone, what can you do?

The only way now is to cultivate extremely high levels of Taoism and magic power to have a chance to fight against the gods of the underworld.

If not, there is no other way.

……

Half a month later.

Kunwu Mountain, Tenghai Peak.

Ji Yuan walked out of Tenghai Palace holding a small iron lamp the size of a palm in his hand. It had been half a day since he came back.

It is about the size of a palm and three inches high; it is shaped like an iron lotus and covered with jade glaze, with exquisite workmanship.

In the wick, a flame about an inch long was burning and crackling, with a faint wailing sound in the air.

This is the soul of Taimingxianpo, also known as Viraksha.

It took Chen Hai three full days and more than two thousand cuts to kill her.

For this, Chen Hai felt extremely guilty along the way; he also cursed Viracha for being inexperienced, saying that he died after only making more than two thousand cuts.

At the foot of Yanshan Mountain, the shrill screams of Ling Chi could be heard for dozens of miles all night long.

During the first few cuts, she was able to remain tough, even spitting and cursing; her expression was fierce; but later on, she could only wail and scream in pain.

Even so, Virakha was still not convinced; because she felt that after her death, it would be a good opportunity for her to return to the netherworld and take credit from the Great Venerable.

Therefore, Virakha even wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide; unfortunately, her mouth was stuffed with rotten cloth.

Finally, after suffering so much torture and finally dying, Viraksha was overjoyed, thinking that happiness could return.

However, among the local cultivators in Yanshan, there had long been a Taoist ghost monk who was skilled in the art of soul-capturing and was performing rituals.

He also forcibly gathered the soul of Tai Ming Xian Po and pulled it into the wick of a lamp.

Viraksha then felt afraid, but it was already too late.

The soul is so fragile that the slightest breeze can be like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, causing unbearable pain.

How much more so when it is burning like a wick?
This kind of devilish fire refines the soul; it is a thousand times more painful than being cut into pieces, and the pain goes straight into the bone marrow; it can be said to be the most cruel and terrifying torture method in the world.

This lamp is special, it is called the Demonic Fire Soul Refining Lamp.

It is a technique specially used by the master of evil magic to burn enemies. It just so happens that the evil cultivator who helped Ji Yuan capture the soul, the Ghost Taoist, also knows how to do it.

Ji Yuan readily took out five thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as a reward.

The Ghost Taoist was very considerate and used magic to refine a magic fire soul refining lamp for Ji Yuan.

This lamp has been refined through magic.

The soul is captured in the wick by the talisman and can never escape.

And the soul will not be burned to ashes by the flames; instead, the flames will continue to burn without causing the soul to dissipate.

Every once in a while, use the mermaid oil that has been there for thousands of years as lamp oil.

Not only does it keep the flame burning for a thousand years, the mermaid oil also nourishes the soul, so that Viraksha's spirit will not dissipate.

It is truly miraculous.

In this way, at least Viraksha can be burned in the lamp for more than a thousand years; let her experience the most cruel torture in the world until she is reduced to ashes.

Wailing and begging for mercy continued to be heard from the wick.

Ji Yuan turned a blind eye and put it into his treasure bag.

Not long after returning, he heard from Yu Qi that the sect was going to investigate its internal disciples.

Every disciple must verify his identity, cultivation level, soul, and treasure bag.

In order to prevent the green-robed old monster from hiding his identity and transforming into a disciple of Xuanwei Sect.

This Demonic Fire Soul Refining Lamp should be kept well.

"Uncle Master, the religion also said that they are going to hold a ritual assembly." Yu Qi followed behind and said.

Chen Hai had already returned to the Classics Hall; Ling Miao had been unable to contain himself after obtaining the Red Crow Feather, and had gone into seclusion to practice with the magic weapon.

"Hold a ritual?" Ji Yuan glanced sideways.

"Could it be that the promotion to the True Transmission Ceremony has been advanced?"

"No; it's the Nanli Dharma Assembly. Those in the sect who are under 300 years old and have a total of 500 years of magical power can sign up on the first day of next month."

"Then, starting from the first day of June this year, each peak will compete in martial arts and magic, and each peak will select ten outstanding people."

"Then on June 15th, we will go to the Golden Palace and start the inner sect competition. The first 200 people to come out on top will be considered the best."

"It is said that the first two hundred people will have the opportunity to participate in a mission and have the opportunity to go to the Nanli Realm of the Small Thousand Worlds outside the Realm with the founder and obtain a great opportunity." Yu Qi talked freely.

"Why doesn't your master participate in the competition?"

"My master is funded by the Gu family. Elder Gu gave eight talented disciples with the surname Gu in the sect admission tickets worth 10 million merit points each."

Yu Qi shook his head and said, "So of course my master doesn't need to participate in any martial arts competitions. When the time comes, he can just follow the ancestor of the sect."

"Ten million? Didn't we agree on five million?" Ji Yuan was stunned.

"Eh? Uncle Master, how did you know?" Yu Qi was a little curious.

This Nanli Realm Dharma Assembly is held only once every ten thousand years.

Normally no one pays attention to it; as a result, apart from the major families, many people don’t know the specific news and the admission tickets.

Judging from the tone of Master Lingbao, he seemed to have known it for a long time?

Although she was puzzled, Yu Qi still explained, "It was five million in previous years. It has been changed this year."

"Because the church maintains that thing in the Nanli Realm every year; it costs a huge amount of spiritual objects; and it may not even succeed."

"Uncle Master, you also know the function of merit points. To put it bluntly, they are the currency of our sect. They can be exchanged for various resources. They are a very hard currency."

"So the church is buying back the 5 million admission tickets from each person, which is to grab resources from the major families so that they can continue to cultivate that treasure."

"But I don't know why the price increased this time. I heard from my great-grandfather that something went wrong and the old man suddenly announced it."

Yuqi's great-grandfather was an elder in the religion.

Sorry, I’ve delayed updating until now because I had already typed 9,000 words last night, but then, to my great surprise, my computer became loose and suddenly shut down. Damn it, I only saved 2,000 words of the manuscript, so I had to rewrite it, and have been typing from a little after 11 o’clock until a little after 5 in the morning.
