Mythology

Chapter 405 completes the historical allusion, "Qianyuan Mountain".

Yang He subconsciously searched for the source, only to find that murmurs suddenly rose and fell throughout the temple.

“My disciple, life and death are determined by fate. Even I don’t care. Why are you so attached to it?”

"Disciple, hurry up and leave Qianyuan Mountain while there's still time."

"Alas, when I completely go astray in my cultivation, even Qianyuan Mountain will fall."

Suddenly, the mad Taiyi Zhenren seemed to regain some of their sanity, and they stopped arguing with each other, instead vying for control of the Daoist temple.

"How dare you!!"

"You are nothing but some of my random thoughts, yet you dare to try and take over?"

Taiyi Zhenren roared and continued to lunge at Yang He with bared teeth and claws.

Whoosh whoosh.

Chains resembling spines emerged from the ground, binding Taiyi Zhenren and forcibly restraining him at the base of the Sanqing statue.

They said no more and looked at Yang He together, their eyes filled with satisfaction.

As Taiyi Zhenren struggled, the others' bodies cracked open, their flesh and bones on the verge of shattering, unable to withstand the backlash.

Yang He did not delay any longer and quickly approached Taiyi Zhenren.

puff.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of corpse blood. Immediately, Taiyi Zhenren's body sizzled, accompanied by a scream of unbearable pain, and the chains broke one by one.

Yang He took out the leather pouch and pressed it onto the bloodied and mangled body of Taiyi Zhenren.

The skin spread along the neck like a living thing, with new flesh growing wherever it went, and the body and soul were in complete chaos. It proved that the immortal skin taught by the Primordial Celestial Venerable was somewhat useful.

"Master, please forgive me."

Yang He no longer considered gains or losses, and didn't even think about the possibility of failure.

"The Buddhist tradition is indeed heretical, but its understanding of reincarnation and rebirth is very transcendent. The Anuruddha's transmission of the Great Seal might be effective."

After attaining Buddhahood, he has completely mastered the Anuruddha Mantra.

Yang He bit his index finger and drew the Sanskrit characters of the Rebirth Seal inside and outside the skin, mixed with some patterns of the Reincarnation Seal. The purpose was to awaken the innate wisdom of Taiyi Zhenren and make his cheap master wake up.

Ahhh! ! !
Taiyi Zhenren roared to the sky, and the sound of a corpse falling to the ground echoed inside the temple.

Yang He gritted his teeth and continued drawing, his cultivation level decreasing at a visible rate, as if his essence, energy, and spirit were all being devoured by the Anuruddha Great Seal.

He was completely absorbed and drew faster and faster.

“My disciple, I have regained my senses. Do not continue.”

Yang He ignored Taiyi Zhenren and unconsciously canceled his transformation into a corpse immortal, his appearance becoming skin and bones, and most of his three yang flames were extinguished.

“My disciple, let me walk this final journey myself.”

Taiyi Zhenren's voice was tinged with fear as he tried to persuade Yang He to stop.

"Master, please allow your disciple to fulfill his filial duty."

Yang He drained the last of the corpse's blood, making the patterns more complete.

Taiyi Zhenren's eyes turned red, and he tried to say something but began to convulse. His head was extremely swollen, and he alternated between crying and laughing.

"Done?"

Yang He's chest heaved violently; the other Taiyi Zhenren had all perished.

I could vaguely hear them all letting out soft sighs before they died.

“Disciple, do not have any more obsessions.”

Yang He looked bewildered. He had originally intended to collect a few more corpses, but the consciousness within them had already begun to resist and did not want to continue living.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but Taiyi Zhenren's eyes became cloudy, and his limbs stopped twitching, leaving him motionless like a cold corpse.

If it weren't for the chance to survive, one would only assume that the cheap master had been completely wiped out.

Yang He went forward to check and found that Taiyi Zhenren had become an empty shell, not only without his three souls and seven spirits, but also completely lost his consciousness.

"Master, Master."

He called out several times, but Taiyi Zhenren did not respond. However, his pupils did react to light to some extent.

"A vegetable? Impossible. Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal's soul and spirit are destroyed, they should still retain a sliver of life. Could it be that the Rebirth Seal has taken effect?"

Yang He frowned and then removed the hearts from the corpses one by one.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, Taiyi Zhenren, faced with the temptation of the heart, instinctively opened and closed his jaws, quickly swallowing the heart piece by piece into his stomach.

Yang He watched as Taiyi Zhenren curled up like an infant.

In a short time, from those in their fifties or sixties to those in their early twenties, their skin became wrinkle-free, and all their functions returned to their peak condition.

Even so, Taiyi Zhenren still did not stop being young.

Then it transitions to the state of a young child.

Yang He tried several times to interrupt the story, but in the end he let nature take its course. Taiyi Zhenren had already made his stance clear: he did not want to live a life of mediocrity and would rather die with his soul scattered.

He remained silent, and the baby's cries echoed in the Yuanshi Temple. Finally, Taiyi Zhenren transformed from a newborn fetus into a ray of white light.

A flash of white light appeared, then disappeared on the horizon.

Yang He looked astonished; the white light was the true spirit contained within the soul.

In a sense, Taiyi Zhenren has transcended the mundane world. As long as his true spirit encounters a pregnant woman before his demise, he can be reincarnated.

"Even if I don't interfere, Taiyi Zhenren will turn into a true spirit after eating his own kind. This arrangement should be the preparation of my cheap master before his death, but most likely the true spirit has already become an evil spirit."

“Anuruddha’s transmutation of the Great Seal, combined with the physical body, can preserve some of his memories.”

"Master, let's meet again in the next life."

Yang He opened his pupil between his eyebrows, trying to remember the true spirit's aura with the help of his spiritual vision, in case Taiyi Zhenren was unable to find Su Hui.

"kindness?"

Within the true spirit, there was a faint, indistinct phantom image of a fetus with three heads and six arms.

Yang He was not surprised that the fetus had three heads and six arms, but that the image looked somewhat familiar.

His face was as white as if powdered, and his cultivation as a Great Immortal in his previous life was only manifested in a fiery red bellyband, with a red glow between his eyebrows.

Perhaps it was because Taiyi Zhenren reshaped the body and soul that he liked the Nezha type, as the fetus bears some resemblance to the senior brother of Qianyuan Mountain.

"Oh shit?!!"

"Red Boy?"

Yang He would never be mistaken; Red Boy is the son of the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan in the original Journey to the West. Upon closer inspection, Red Boy is indeed very similar to Nezha in many ways.

For example, Red Boy was born with supernatural powers, including three heads and six arms.

For example, Red Boy's protective magic weapon is the same as Nezha's, which is also the Fire-Tipped Spear.

Yang He looked up at the sky, a chill running down his spine to his head. Was the Journey to the West calamity man-made, or did it conform to some kind of heavenly law?

"In any case, now that we know about Taiyi Zhenren's next life, things will be much more convenient."

"hehe."

"No wonder the old bull was clearly a bull demon, but he gave birth to Red Boy."

Yang He felt a sense of disorientation, indicating that he was about to leave Qianyuan Mountain.

The story of "Qianyuan Mountain" has been completed.

He did not resist, and his consciousness soon returned to his true form in the main world. He then summoned the panel again, but saw no rewards.

"Are sect anecdotes really that useless? Even just a little bit of spiritual vision would be nice."

Yang He sat in the Wanhua Heavenly Daoist Temple, looking down regretfully at the Qianyuan Mountain Daoist Temple. The completion of the story had left no trace in the ruins.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. As long as Taiyi Zhenren is reincarnated smoothly."

He revealed his divine sense, just about to communicate with Yu Zheng on the top of Qianyuan Mountain.

The divine sense detected something unusual.

The sect's anecdotes are not without rewards; Qianyuan Mountain is now an unclaimed celestial court.
