Chapter 732 Qingli Hua Nuo Mask

"Haha, it's been a while. You feel more confident about this place than I thought. Is it because of the power that created this void?"

Old Ancestor Haha, wearing the Nuo mask of a king or a noble, walked in and looked at the shadow in front of him with obvious sarcasm in his eyes.

"Indeed, the power of those emperors can restrain Qingli's current state very well, and can also effectively prevent outsiders from spying on this place, but have you ever thought that if outsiders come, this place will also be a cage that will trap you to death?"

“Wu Zang, you are just a fourth-rank cultivator who lingers on the past and is unwilling to step out. How dare you stand before me…”

Shadow didn't even finish his words before he was slapped by Haha Ancestor and turned into a ball of mud-like liquid, collapsing on the ground.

"Sorry, I'm a third rank now."

After wiping his hands, Haha Patriarch walked up to Qingli Caixian and said, "As agreed, I will take your Dao fruit away. Don't worry, I met a very interesting person outside. He gave me everything he had, and I made a vow for his Dao fruit that will satisfy you."

As he spoke, Ancestor Haha used his hands, which he had just wiped clean, to pull up Qingli Caixian's palm and placed it on his Nuo mask.

He placed his palm on Qingli Caixian's withered and somewhat hollow face. He was not afraid of this horrifying appearance at all, but just kept sighing.

"It's a pity that your appearance has been affected by these fates and talents, or it can be said that this thing has become a part of your Tao fruit. Even when I was casting the Nuo mask, I had to retain some of your current flaws. Your original appearance cannot be retained. I actually like your original appearance very much."

Qingli Caixian didn't care about what Patriarch Haha said. He carefully sensed the thoughts on the king's mask. His eyes became a little softer. Then he looked at Patriarch Haha and asked in a low voice.

"Can the talents and fates of all living beings be returned?"

"Of course you can. You should have sensed that person's thoughts on this Nuo mask. I made a promise with him that I would definitely save the people, and the owner of these things in your hand is also one of the people."

Hearing the answer from Haha Patriarch, Qingli Caixian said with emotion: "Is that so? Then I feel relieved."

As he said this, he gave up all his defenses, looked at Haha Patriarch and said, "Come on, I... um..."

A stream of black water pierced Qingli Caixian's chest, and the shadow emerged again, and its Taoist fruit began to intertwine with Qingli Caixian's power.

"Wu Zang, I am better after all!"

The shadow merged into Qingli Caixian's body and sneered at the old ancestor Haha in front of him.

“Sure enough, although you call yourself the money demon, and use money to bring happiness, corruption, filthiness, and depravity, in fact your foundation is emptiness.”

Qingli Wealth Immortal suddenly spoke, causing Shadow to be stunned for a moment. Then San Tian Wanfujun's image changed, transforming into a Wealth Immortal with four faces and eight arms, wearing golden armor and a red robe, sitting on a Pixiu.

At this time, the Wealth Immortal's Dharma images were red, black, green, and white, and the beads, swords, whips, ropes, spears, rulers, ruyi, and ingots in his hands were all filthy. The black code that embodied law and justice also became golden, dotted with jewels, and full of maggots. Golden threads kept falling from his body, and under the erosion of desire, they turned into chains that bound him tightly, preventing him from being free.

But in contrast, the chest of the Immortal of Wealth was empty, with countless strange air currents swirling inside, forming a terrifying vortex.

No amount of righteousness, kindness, sunshine, and joy that flow into it can fix it.

No amount of pleasure, decadence, delicious food, or wonderful fragrances can calm it.

All external enjoyment can only bring them temporary peace, but cannot bring them relief. Even the things invested each time have to change. Once too much is invested in something, it will gradually lose its effect, and more and stronger things will be needed.

Tracing back to its essence, this emptiness is the embodiment of the fruit of the shadow, the manifestation of an empty mind. After the initial simple happiness, more and more stimulating things are needed to calm it, which in turn brings endless filth and decay.

This corrupt nature originates from the mind, but is manifested in the flesh and blood. Through an individual, it affects a piece of land, a dynasty, and even the world.

"As expected of someone I like, you saw my Dao fruit so quickly. That's right, under the command of Dao Lord (Jun Mo), we must obey the order he left behind. So in order to fill my emptiness, I chose money, because under the rule of Dao Lord (Jun Mo), if you have enough money, you can get everything."

"Destiny can be sold, talent can be acquired, and even things like love, intelligence, integrity, and courage can be obtained by me. As long as I fill my heart, my Tao fruit will be complete."

"So do you understand? It is impossible for me to follow your ideas and turn to the right path. There is nothing in the right path that can fill my emptiness." "Only your Dharma of [Everything Goes as You Wish], [Attract Wealth and Treasure], and [Give Charity to the World] are my antidote. Your Dharma combined with my external Dharma of [Wealth Plunder], [Resource Devour], and [Land Annexation] is enough to form a virtuous cycle, helping me to master enough wealth to fill the emptiness in my heart."

The shadow whispered in Qingli Caixian's ear.

"That's why I chose you."

"That's why I chose you."

The same words came out of Haha Patriarch's mouth. Shadow turned around and looked at Haha Patriarch. Qingli Caixian also sighed and said, "Is that why you chose me and him? In your opinion, his Dao Fruit is the most suitable to fill the foundation of your witch Dao?"

"It's not the foundation of witchcraft, but to better leverage humanity."

Haha, ancestor's palm deeply penetrated into Qingli Caixian's cheek, and under Shadow's shocked gaze, he refined the Taoist fruit intertwined between the two bit by bit.

In the dark place that ordinary people cannot see, the countless Nuo masks that embodied the witch's destiny began to pry open a corner of the human destiny and swallow it up. The swallowed part was exactly the Taoist fruit corresponding to Qingli and Shadow.

Shadow was shocked, and looked at Haha Patriarch and said, "How is it possible? You devoured my Dao Fruit, how could you not be affected by the Dao Master?"

"Because he has no time to pay attention to me now, don't you know? At this moment, Jun Mo has been tripped by Master Hunyuan. If not for this, how can I have the courage to attack humanity. Oh, that's not right..."

Haha, the ancestor paused halfway through his speech and said, "Perhaps, Jun Mo will not care if I take action against humanity. After all, he does not have a good impression of humanity now."

After saying that, the old ancestor's palm began to exert force little by little, and Qingli Caixian's flesh and blood began to twist. The shadow wanted to leave, but was tightly entangled by Qingli Caixian.

"My friend, it's too late to leave now. Let's go together."

"You are crazy. If you struggle with me now, you still have a chance to escape. If you are turned into a Nuo mask by this guy, you will have no chance of reincarnation!"

The shadow was still struggling, Qingli just chuckled: "I naturally know the consequences of being refined, but you are more dangerous. If I let you go, I don't know how many people will be killed by you."

"Moreover, I can sense the intention behind Haha Patriarch's Nuo mask, and I am willing to help him. The power of him and me is enough to restrict some of Haha Patriarch's behaviors and save more people from the catastrophe caused by you and me."

"Idiot, we didn't cause this disaster. Why don't you take a piss and see for yourself, are you worthy of me?"

Shadow seemed to be furious. While cursing, he also mentioned some things that he didn't dare to mention before: "This kind of disaster, apart from the natural changes brought about by the movement of the great sky, is more due to the conflict of ideas between the Taoist master and several of his corresponding great powers. To put it bluntly, this time the Taoist master wants to cause trouble for the Saint King Avenue, and you and I just happened to be chosen..."

"But no matter what, it is you and me who are causing this disaster, right? And now that I have the opportunity to save more people now or in the future, why not do it?"

Qingli Caixian suppressed the shadow tightly, and finally looked at Haha Patriarch and left a few words.

"Ancestor, please..."

Haha, ancestor clenched his five fingers, and Qingli Caixian's flesh and blood began to twist and collapse, turning into a brand new Nuo mask held in his hand.

"rest assured……"

The old ancestor slowly placed the Nuo mask on his own face, and the Nuo mask of the king and prince that originally covered it glowed a little and showed signs of softening.

The Nuo mask of the God of Wealth also emitted light and blended with it, gradually softening.

At the same time, the many Nuo masks surrounding Ancestor Haha also softened.

In the end, all the Nuo masks merged into the Nuo masks of kings and princes, turning into a brand new Nuo mask, and the body of Ancestor Haha also became transparent.
