Chapter 658 There are always some tricky subjects trying to harm me, but I... refuse to go!_2
The amount of their life span that is corroded will be immediately replenished.
Forcibly putting a sudden brake on this large-scale accidental death event.
If it weren't for the [Fangzhang Corpse King] offering a super "Great Nourishing Pill" to the Five Virtues Emperor, it might have really sustained him until the end of this phenomenon.
By then, it would not have been so easy for the Five Virtues Emperor to inflict large-scale damage to the Heavenly People.
Unfortunately, there's no sign of the celestial phenomenon abating.
Even as another heavenly blood rain fell with the demise of a Heavenly Official, the wails of the Weird grew louder, and the [Five Declines of Heavenly People] became more intense.
As if they were about to accompany the [Fangzhang Corpse King] to the grave.
In just a matter of a dozen breaths, the vast consumption of merit made Duke Bingling's heart ache as if it were being ripped apart.
He couldn't help but shout aloud to the heavens:
"Tai Bai, come quickly! Brother cannot hold on any longer!"
Before Duke Bingling reached his limit, a voice already sounded in his ear:
"I'm here!"
Though the Taoist arena was outside the Heavenly Gate, it wasn't too far from the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm.
The Yin Yang Immortal Light emitted by the Taiyin and Sun stars, after filling the Outer Heaven and Moon Traveling Heaven, pierced through the entire Nine Heavens Cloud Realm in an instant.
The countless old men, who moments ago seemed invincible, evaporated like snow under the sun.
The swallowed life span and [Divine Position] were completely returned.
Even though the celestial phenomenon of the [Five Declines of Heavenly People] continued, it was firmly blocked by the vast and mighty Yin Yang Immortal Light.
"Thanks to Duke Bingling, Star Lord, Yin Heaven Son..."
The Heavenly People, Immortal Officials, and even other Corpse Dissection Immortals, who narrowly escaped disaster, sincerely bowed towards Duke Bingling and the direction of the Sun Palace.
No one knew that the [Divine Beating Whip] in Wang Yuan's hand, not yet fully comprehended, suddenly glimmered.
Instantly, many tiny runes and seals appeared.
...
Under the two intertwined Fusang Trees in the Sun Palace, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu had long taken their seats, each revealing their Dharma Image.
Huang Wu wore the Luan Robe, with a bright moon hanging above her head.
In the dim moonlight, her exquisite features seemed both real and illusory, her hair in a cloud bun, lips like cherry stones, hairpins adorning her hair, and moonstone earrings hanging on her ears.
Her limbs remained slender, and even the gentle rise of her rounded abdomen only added a touch of a beautiful woman's charm, further aligning with the aura of the [Taiyin Monarch].
Wang Yuan floated on a Golden Boat above a Blood River, in the center an Emperor's Robe embroidered with all beings, face calm as a lake, with a circle of sun behind his head.
Symbolizing the combination of Ghost Path, Human Dao, and Immortal Dao, embodying the Earthly Emperor and Human Emperor ranks, and progressing to the gathering of the Three Sovereigns.
The Immortal Light on both of them connected into one, transforming into an intertwined black and white, filling the Taiyin and Sun stars, and overflowing to cover the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm.
Between [Immortal Law: Resurrection] and [Immortal Law: Inverted Yin and Yang], just as [Taiyin Moonlight Technique] and the [Earthly Que Golden Book] are in an upper-lower relationship, the two merged seamlessly.
At this moment, they were indeed the Heavenly Dao of the two Immortal Heavens, [Outer Heaven] and [Moon Traveling Heaven], commanding the heavens with speech.
With just one song of inversion, all the disheveled old men in the Immortal Heavens were thoroughly cleansed.
Yet Wang Yuan's expression did not relax; instead, he became increasingly skeptical.
Looking up at the thirty-three heavens where the blood rain fell once more, he muttered to himself:
"With the fall of the [Fangzhang Corpse King], another [Heavenly Official] walking the Ghost Path rose by stepping over the corpse.
Moreover, this aroma... Why does it inexplicably remind me of clay pots, star anise, cinnamon, and spices?"
An enticing exotic fragrance gradually drifted into the Outer Heaven, and Wang Yuan couldn't help but drool gleamingly from the corner of his mouth.
A surge of impulse, seized by those sixteen chess pieces to launch a [Castling], rushed into the thirty-three heavens for a great feast.
The thought was so intense that it almost made him jump from the Dharma Seat, resembling the exact same way as the fifth decline "This Seat Is Not Pleased."
On one hand, the [Five Declines of Heavenly People], although temporarily blocked, remained a substantial threat as long as the source was unresolved.
No one knew how long the new Heavenly Official could sustain this phenomenon, using the favorable timing, terrain, and people following the [Fangzhang Corpse King's] demise.
On the other hand, a golden opportunity to ascend to the [Undying Primordial Spirit] was right at hand.
Wang Yuan was one hundred percent certain that if he could devour it, he would immediately ascend to the [Undying Primordial Spirit] on the spot!
At this point, there was virtually no reason not to act.
The attraction between the "knowledge" and power emanating from the same path made it like a powerful magnet and a nail irresistibly drawn to each other.
Wang Yuan's eyes were slightly flushed.
Yet it was, after all, the infamous thirty-three heavens, leaving him with the last shred of sanity.
It seemed like two voices were waging war within his mind.
"Do not retreat! Cultivation from the start has always been cautious, and now that you've achieved Immortal Ascension, if you still can't be bold, hasn't this path been cultivated in vain?
A cultivator must possess a forward-moving, relentless Dao heart, to cut paths through mountains, to bridge over waters, to slay Gods if they block, to crush Buddhas if they stand in the way!
"What's a mere risk worth?"
Another voice chimed in:
"It's all a con!
Though countless people in the cultivation world talk about the purity of the mind.
Yet who doesn't know that those from the sect's direct lineage, which are sly and deceitful Ghost Path people?
Raising their eyebrows and retreating behind others has become standard practice.
Emphasizing purity of the mind is just for the direct lineage to trick the peripheral disciples into being reserve food, no different from the art of fooling the people.
In their eyes, anyone who understands politics and strategy is deemed impure of mind and should be thoroughly wiped out, removing those who are a blight to the group.
Only those who leap into fire when they see it, jump into water when they see it, face blades when encountered, and run into stones will achieve immortal ascension and freedom.
Are you going to be such a reckless person too?"
"Are you not afraid?"
"Ridiculous, my Master Wang started as an Undead Knight, how could I fear such Ghost Path nonsense?
I have ninety-nine percent confidence that with one move, the three generations and Huang Wu will be taken down!"
"Then go ahead!"
"Xiao Yuan!"
This celestial battle instantly dissipated when Wang Yuan saw Huang Wu's concerned eyes and her slightly raised abdomen.
Though the Undying Primordial Spirit is good, he has something more valuable to cherish.
His gaze cleared again.
Something's wrong!
"Though I can restrain that Heavenly Official, it seems I'm still affected by the 'Unhappy on this seat', unable to fully control my desire.
Besides, just when I need a nap, a pillow arrives?
This Heavenly Official came too coincidentally."
After much deliberation, although he still wasn't sure if this was coincidence, he stopped dwelling on it.
"Regardless of the issue, I've swept through the mortal world and underworld's sects, Weird Immortals, ate two Heavenly Officials, thoroughly offended the Killing Tree faction.
It's certain many Heavenly Officials want to kill me!
There's always some crafty folks wanting to harm me!
A son of a thousand gold does not sit under the hall, to risk in White Dragon Fish Clothing, isn't that foolish? I won't go, won't go even if beaten to death!"
Thinking of this, his mood instantly relaxed.
"As the saying goes, in the world, there's nothing difficult, as long as you're willing to give up.
No rush, ninety-nine percent confidence to kill that Heavenly Official, what difference does it make from asking to die?
Just slowly wear him down, wait for the Five Virtues Dragon Qi to rise, wait for the Human Immortal to boom, wait for the Xuanyuan Sword to form, then slaying the Killing Tree along with him, isn't it sweeter?
Just let it rot, continue letting it rot!"
He gently raised his hand, filling the sky with Immortal Light twisting like insects, transforming into black and white talisman orders with a [Yin Heaven Son] Dharma Image seated in them.
Writing a 'Ghost' character on the talisman can suppress the ghosts.
Wang Yuan's Yin Yang Talisman Order on [Weird Old Man] is far superior.
As long as they're hung across the various Immortal Heavens, they can timely annihilate any stragglers.
He's made up his mind not to leave his home, whoever cares.
"Wield my talisman order, suppress the heavens!"
"Obeying your majesty's decree!"
A large group of Butterfly Immortals, Moon Repairers, Painted Skin Ghosts serving as Taoist Officials collectively took orders, sending his talisman orders to the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm.
Only then did Wang Yuan smile, clapping his hands, and said to the palace maids below:
"Continue the music, continue the dance!"
Immediately, bells and drums sounded, grand music resounded.
A group of beautiful young Butterfly Immortals and Moon Repairers danced gracefully, performing the meticulously choreographed "Guanghan Palace Breaking Formation Music", dancing and singing:
"Golden Crow Spirit Phoenix, Dragon Swallows Moon River.
The stars stationed in array, Heavenly Palace stabilizes the universe.
Unifying the land for the king, iron hooves tread jade territory.
Mastering Star River Qiankun, our emperor is unparalleled..."
This is the real dog!
