Chapter 369 Cleaning Up the House (Thanks to Silver Alliance, it's just for fun)
The original northward journey of less than a hundred people has multiplied over thousands of years to become tens of thousands of ghostly spirits. This number of ghostly soldiers is enough to annihilate a Dharma body.

At this point, Wei Yuan understood that the old woman had never had good intentions from the beginning.

Surrounded by numerous ghostly soldiers, the old ghost of the remnant clan finally felt somewhat at ease, but he dared not linger there. Instinctively, he took flight, wanting to escape. He flew towards the full moon, where there should be a shadowy area, which was the exit of Wei Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

But after flying for a short distance, he froze in mid-air.

There was indeed a shadow in the middle of the moon, but the shape of the shadow was that of a bird's head, which was now opening its blood-red maw at him, indicating that this was the exit.

Old Gui didn't go in; he didn't think he was stupid.

Suddenly, the girl's shadow pulled a giant sword from the ground, pointed it at the old ghost, and then drew a circle with the sword. An endless suction force suddenly arose in the center of the circle, dragging the old ghost down from the air.

The old ghost was terrified. He screamed and beckoned his ghostly soldiers to attack. However, the red lotus bodhi tree kept swaying, and all the ghostly soldiers were frozen in place, unable to move.

Suddenly, a ghostly flame ignited on the old ghost's body. Using the burning of his soul, he actually withstood the pull of the Eternal Sword and slowly struggled upwards. He had already realized that the sky above the vast landscape was actually an illusion; only the earth was real. By piercing through the sky, he could escape his sea of ​​consciousness.

As the old ghost fled, he cursed. The sky was set up to look exactly like the real thing, complete with a full moon to pretend it was the exit, and traps were laid. "Is this kid bored? Whose Dao Foundation is so treacherous?"

But before he could finish cursing, a bolt of supreme yang divine lightning suddenly appeared from outside the sky and struck his soul precisely!

Although this lightning bolt wasn't very powerful, it was specifically designed to ward off evil spirits. The old ghost wasn't seriously injured by the lightning, but he was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as he was pulled towards the sword circle.

As soon as the old ghost entered the circle drawn by the giant sword, the girl thrust out her sword, and the old ghost was instantly punctured like a bubble, vanishing into thin air under this move, 'Embers of the Former Dynasty'.

With the old ghost's death and the dissipation of his power, countless Yin soldiers lost control. Then, they simultaneously sensed the Black Pool and headed towards Jade Mountain, stepping one after another into the Gate of Reincarnation in the myriad realms.

Wei Yuan instantly sensed an immense causal force. This was an entire clan of tens of thousands, all with considerable cultivation; the weakest were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there were over a hundred Dharma Aspects. The souls of the entire remnant clan, spanning over seven thousand years, were all here.

As the old ghost's soul dissipated, a torrential rain fell across the vast land, each raindrop containing considerable spiritual power.

The spirituality of the vast land of China is slowly rising again.

Wei Yuan let out a long breath, but could no longer maintain it, and his consciousness withdrew from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Upon returning to his original body, he discovered that the woman had completely altered the magic array he had set up, transforming it into a Yang Thunder Array. The Yang Thunder that had blasted into his sea of ​​consciousness was emitted by this array, striking the old ghost precisely. Had it not been for this attack, the old ghost might have escaped.

“You saved me again,” Wei Yuan said.

The woman snorted and said indifferently, "You're still too trusting. People from these orphaned families, isolated overseas, the more tragic their fate, the more twisted their mentality. When you encounter them, you should first be wary, and only then consider whether you can offer any help."

You'd put anything they gave you on your person, and sealing that Yuan Blood Bead inside your body to prevent it from contacting the Yin Ghosts was the right thing to do. But before sealing it inside, why didn't you place a few restrictions first? Didn't your masters teach you these things?"

The change was sudden, but the woman's response was incredibly skillful. She transformed Wei Yuan's existing formation into the Yang Thunder Formation, requiring only minor modifications, yet demonstrating an extremely high level of mastery in formations.

The yang lightning emitted by the formation can break through yin evil. There is no extremely yin place or lightning-attracting object in the vast rivers and mountains of Wei Yuan. As soon as the yang lightning entered his sea of ​​consciousness, it immediately locked onto the old ghost.

If the first attack fails, the formation still has reserves and can unleash multiple bolts of Yang Lightning. At that point, the old ghost will be unable to move, and without the need for the young girl's Yin-Yang techniques, Wei Yuan can kill it himself.

At this moment, Wei Yuan held the woman's hand and said sincerely, "I will never forget your great kindness. As the sage said, kindness should not be forgotten overnight. I will repay your kindness right now!"

The woman was shocked and before she could run away, Wei Yuan pulled her into his arms.

Wei Yuan's hands moved like a gentle spring breeze, unraveling the complexities of the situation and freeing the woman from her many constraints.

The woman struggled and said, "No! I've been running all day, I'm filthy! Stop... How dare you!"

Wei Yuan instinctively shuddered again. The woman realized something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Wait until we escape..."

At this moment, the benefits brought about by the old ghost's fall began to appear. The spiritual energy in Wei Yuan's Dao Foundation was boiling, and specks of spiritual light kept rising from the earth, like billions of fireflies floating in the air, which was incomparably magnificent and spectacular.

At this moment, the old ghost perished, and the Yuan Blood Pearl in Wei Yuan's body shattered. The essence and blood accumulated by the Dharma Avatar throughout its life made up for the deficiencies in the physical body, causing Wei Yuan's Dao power to increase like a tidal wave.

As a descendant of the true dragon, the old ghost obtained more than ten times the amount of other Dharma forms after being killed!
Wei Yuan suddenly realized that all obstacles had been removed, and once he had accumulated enough, he would surely achieve the Dharma form; it was only a matter of time.

Once you achieve the Dharma form and stand at a high place, a completely different world will unfold before your eyes!
At this moment, Wei Yuan saw hope for revenge, and his heart was filled with excitement that he could no longer suppress. In a moment of impulsiveness, he called out "Master".

The woman suddenly stiffened, and Wei Yuan was also stunned.

With things having come to this, Wei Yuan steeled his resolve, pointed his finger, and spiritual rain began to fall in the cave. This spiritual rain was manifested by Wei Yuan from the vast land of Wanli, a partial gift from the deceased old ghost of the remnant clan after his death.

The raindrops gathered in Wei Yuan's hand and instantly transformed into a giant, clear, and sparkling water sphere.

Wei Yuan said, "Would you like to do it yourself, or should I help you clean up your mess?"

Upon hearing this, the woman felt as if her whole body was on fire, and she kicked Wei Yuan hard!
However, Wei Yuan was at the moment of breaking through his cultivation realm, and his strength was increasing rapidly. This kick not only failed to move Wei Yuan, but his calf also fell into Wei Yuan's clutches.

……

……

……

In the darkness, the woman's breathing finally calmed down a bit, and her voice turned cold, but her breath was weak and intermittent, greatly diminishing her authority: "You audacious traitor, for... I will surely punish you..."

At this moment, with the vitals in their hands, she couldn't bring herself to say the words "teacher," and the phrase "clean house" was too much to bear after Wei Yuan used it. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

However, the storm just now wasn't entirely without its benefits; at least it brought the two of them closer together and gave them a sense of resignation and nonchalance.

At this moment, even moving a single finger feels strenuous; my thoughts are sluggish, my mind is blank, and I can't think of anything else.

If it weren't for the pitch-black cave, and if it weren't for the recent storm, she would probably have been reincarnated on the spot if her identity had been suddenly revealed.

Even now, she still can't accept this reality and only wants to stay in her current identity and never come out again. She would rather experience the annihilation of eternity and the collapse of heaven and earth than face this moment. At this moment, she really wants to smash her head against a wall and die, but she has no strength.

In the past, no matter how powerful the enemy or what predicament she faced, even when confronted with the Heavenly Witch's Great Curse, she never retreated or wavered. Even if immortals and Buddhas were before her, she would slay them with a single sword.

Afterwards, the immortal sword decayed and the foundation of his Dao was destroyed, which was nothing unexpected, and he was just a little gloomy.

She suddenly remembered a word from Xu Wenwu's file. She didn't understand it at the time and just found it funny, but now she suddenly understood its meaning.

The greatest hardship of all time is death; it turns out that this refers to the death of a member of the community.

After a moment, she mustered up great courage, picked up the two broken pieces of her Dao Heart again, and asked, "When did you find out?"

"I knew it the moment I shook hands with him."

"...Then why won't you tell me?!"

"I'm going to have four, why would I say that?"

She gritted her teeth and said, "How did you suddenly become so audacious?"

“At that time, I thought I was going to die. Before I died, I thought about my regrets in life and found that my biggest regret was not being able to hold your hand. Since heaven and earth did not let me die, I naturally cannot leave any more regrets. Moreover, I was afraid that when I woke up, I would never see you again.”

She paused for a moment, then said, "...Change how you address me, don't use 'you' anymore."

"Yes."

"Now you're so obedient again! Just now..."

She realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence and quickly pressed down on Wei Yuan's hand, saying, "Rest! We need to escape back to the human realm. Don't be in such a hurry right now. Because... I don't want to die now."

"You, oh, what's your situation right now?"

"...The immortal sword was completely shattered, and the furnace that nurtured the sword with my own body was also destroyed. My Dao foundation was left, but it was all rubble. But it doesn't matter, I already knew the outcome when I drew the sword. To be able to injure the Heavenly Witch with my Dao foundation, I am...the first person in history to do so."

Wei Yuan sighed, "Why bother?"

The woman grew impatient: "You know perfectly well that I never stoop to such lowly pursuits! What's the point of thinking so much when my disciple is facing death? Even if we could go back to that day, I would still strike with this sword!"

"Master is so awesome!" Wei Yuan praised, moving his hand slightly. She let out a low cry, her body twisting desperately, her invincible heart shattering into pieces.

She tried to pinch the tender flesh on his waist again, but at this moment, Wei Yuan's body was glowing slightly from the inside out. His physical strength was already at its peak, and it could even gradually increase. Not to mention pinching it by hand, even using pliers wouldn't work.

"...Why have you always presented yourself as a man? And how did you end up in that village, disguised as one of the villagers?"

This finally eased the awkwardness a bit.

"...After I forged my Dao foundation, I always felt there was still something lacking. Putting aside everything else, at least the Demon-Suppressing Tower couldn't suppress Ji Liuli. So I used my body as a furnace, the primordial energy of heaven and earth as fire, and the dragon's energy as a catalyst to forge the fourth immortal sword. My male body was the manifestation of this, both the furnace for forging the sword and a shell outside my true body."

"It's just for the sake of convenience in wielding the sword, so the physical body wasn't forged into the hands. Normally, I just use illusion magic to conceal it; since I'm not a True Lord, ordinary people can't tell."

Wei Yuan suddenly realized what was happening.

She continued, "When we landed here, my foundation was destroyed. So I discussed with the remaining clans in the village that they would heal you, and you could then return along the route they took to get here. There would be hope of returning to the human realm. As for me, I plan to disintegrate myself after you leave and reincarnate to start anew."

...At that time, I thought I was going to die anyway, and you wouldn't be able to see me or know who I was, so...I made some jokes..."

Wei Yuan trembled and immediately hugged her tightly, saying, "No, we can't disintegrate!"

She said irritably, "Let go! I don't want to die now! You've become too powerful, huh? You can even betray your master and ancestors? Then take me back to the human realm. I'll think of a way to deal with the matter of the Dao later."

"There are many ways to continue one's cultivation path and improve one's aptitude. I've heard that there are similar treasures in the Netherworld. I'll go and explore them when I get back..."

She poked Wei Yuan hard: "You just got hit by the Karmic Curse, and you're still running towards the Netherworld? If you go there now, you'll just be a human beacon!"

She paused for a moment and said, "My current body, after being reshaped by the Impure Earth White Lotus, is actually not bad. It's just that my foundation needs to be rebuilt. My original path is no longer viable, and that's the biggest problem. When I get back, I'll consult the patriarch first, and then I'll think about it carefully. If it really doesn't work, I'll reincarnate and start over."

"Then, will we still be able to find you?"

She said irritably, "With the White Lotus of Impure Earth as my guide, I can't escape!"

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's alright, well... a dozen years isn't something we can't wait for."
