Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 296 Opening the Altar, Capturing the Dragon!

Although she did not understand the specific method of setting up the altar, under Chen Yushu's guidance, she learned the necessary positions for arranging the altar and also understood the role that some tools could play in the process of setting up the altar.

The array flags, ritual implements, and talismans not only form their own arrays, but also harmonize with the surrounding mountains and terrain, enabling the altar to function more effectively and creating a ceremonial procession.

The ritual regalia of the altar is actually an extremely important part of the opening of the altar.

Because this represents specifications.

It is something that countless ghosts, demons, and even cultivators can 'see'; it is a symbol of status and position.

The higher the ceremonial procession, the greater the respect and awe that the various spirits would have for it.

of course.

Chen Yushu's altar was always set up in a rather simple and unadorned manner.

The corresponding specifications are actually not high.

However, the altar itself is often incredibly powerful, and no matter how powerful a spirit is, it will involuntarily feel a sense of awe under its presence.

Naturally, this is because Chen Yushu's altar is more in line with the Great Dao.

This led many ghosts to believe that they were facing 'Heaven', the embodiment of the Great Dao.

Although they may not know what kind of existence the corresponding 'Heaven', the embodiment of the Great Dao, truly is, it fills them with awe and fear.

When facing him, one naturally bows one's head.

They could even subdue the enemy without a fight.

As before, he had subdued and tamed the corresponding ghosts and spirits on several occasions simply by intimidating them with the altar.

But even so.

Chen Yushu was also unsure about this opening ceremony.

Because this time, he is facing something different.

It is a truly catastrophic existence.

Moreover, it is a relatively powerful dragon species.

With Xiao Hong's help, Chen Yushu's time to set up the altar was greatly reduced. Soon, a simple-looking but very well-organized altar appeared in front of him.

Then Chen Yushu slammed his hand on the table, moved it slightly, paused, drew out the earth energy, and finally merged it with his spiritual power, causing his cultivation to surge.

buzzing...

In an instant, Chen Yushu became one with the entire altar.

It seems to form a whole, and most people, upon seeing this altar, would not be able to spot its figure at first glance.

Because he is the altar, and the altar is also him.

Then Chen Yushu took out some yellow paper and three large incense sticks from his storage bag.

Then light the yellow paper and the large incense stick.

He threw the yellow paper into the brazier, and flung the large incense stick into the ground in front of him.

"The heavens possess three wonders: the sun, the moon, and the stars, which penetrate heaven and earth, startling even ghosts and gods. Only I, Chen Yushu, can open the altar, perform rituals, punish evil spirits, and quell disasters. So be it!"

Chen Yushu held a long sword and let out a low shout.

At the same time, having long been in harmony with the entire world, his mental power surged, and his cultivation level within his body was rapidly depleted.

buzzing...

In an instant, the decree was activated.

The surrounding void seemed to tremble slightly, and the entire world seemed to form a special field at that moment.

Within this domain, he is the absolute controller, able to command all living beings and spirits around him with a single thought, and mobilize all the surrounding power.

Including the power of heaven and earth.

His altar, at this moment, formed a special domain of rules.

Within this domain, unless one's power level far surpasses his and can forcefully break the domain's rules, one will be suppressed by him and disposed of by him.

This is the true power of the altar.

This was also the true display of power after Chen Yushu had perfected the art of opening altars.

Then, Chen Yushu threw out the five-meter-long evil-breaking elixir, which landed on the brazier, and then let out a low shout.

"Thunder Breath!"

Buzz!
In an instant, a mysterious force, like a sharp arrow, burst forth from his altar and surged directly into the sky.

Then, almost instantly, the thunderous roar that had been booming gradually subsided.

"The clouds have dispersed!"

Then, Chen Yushu spoke again.

Power surged once more.

A terrifying power erupted once more, like a colossal sword cleaving the heavens and earth in two.

Suddenly, the dark clouds that had been covering a large area were torn apart and scattered in all directions.

"Open the altar? Break the spell?"

Which senior figure stepped in?

Is there some other powerful cultivator within Qinghe County, practicing in the surrounding area?

Chen He, who had been quickly retreating and had already gone quite a distance, suddenly turned around and stared wide-eyed at the area where the Fallen Dragon Abyss was located.

He initially thought it was normal when the thunder stopped.

After all, thunder usually subsides after the rain falls.

Thunder itself has a certain ability to gather rain. With the effect of the spell, the thunder accumulated enough rainwater, and the arena naturally dispersed.

However, when the dark clouds that had been covering the sky dissipated, and even the continuous rain gradually lessened and became sparser until it completely stopped, he suddenly realized what had happened.

A powerful figure has made a move.

Otherwise, the thunder and rain would never have dissipated at the same time.

Only a powerful being of the same level as the Azure Dragon could directly break its spell.

As for the Calamity-level Azure Dragon, according to his understanding, it would require at least a Dao-entering Day Travel Realm expert to deal with it, and even then, it would have to be a powerful expert at the Dao-entering Night Travel Realm.

After all, the Azure Dragon is a naturally born dragon species, and even among those at the same level of disaster, it is definitely the most outstanding.

The key is that this method of breaking the spell was extremely swift and almost effortless, breaking the Azure Dragon's great spell of summoning wind and rain.

It is clear that it has a certain ability to suppress it.

And what else could be capable of doing this but a True Person level expert above the Sun Travel Realm?
He was immediately filled with excitement and curiosity, and instinctively stopped in his tracks, wanting to turn back.

But soon, the situation on the field changed again.

A tremendous jet of water suddenly shot out.

It was the Azure Dragon, which had already entered the water, that made its move again.

The enormous column of water was drawn from the river and then rushed rapidly toward a surrounding forest.

Rumble!
In an instant, that majestic mountain was directly shattered by the impact of that water column.

Large boulders fell, creating a tremendous sound.

"So strong?"

His steps came to an abrupt halt.

He also clearly realized that even if he had reached the Dao-Entering and Body-Leaving Realm and was known as the Great Yin-Walking Master, he would not be able to participate in a fight against beings of that level.

It's estimated that even the aftershocks of the battle could severely injure him.

Some even perished. The same was true for the others.

Battles between the strong are often extremely fierce.

Ordinary people shouldn't even get close, let alone participate.

With the help of the altar, Chen Yushu easily broke through the Azure Dragon's spell, yet his face remained remarkably calm.

In the past, even if his altar opening was already highly accomplished, breaking through the Azure Dragon's great magic would not have been an easy task.

After all, the difference in strength and realm between the two sides is indeed enormous.

But now, he has broken through to the Daoist Night Wanderer Realm, and his strength, cultivation level, and various methods have all greatly improved.

This also includes the power that can be drawn upon when the altar is opened, which is now a huge improvement over the previous one.

Only in this way can one easily break through the opponent's great technique in one fell swoop.

However, the Azure Dragon originally intended to unleash a powerful spell to bring about a flood to vent its anger. Unexpectedly, a person suddenly appeared and casually broke its spell. Enraged, the Azure Dragon summoned a towering column of water and quickly attacked the surrounding area.

It directly shattered a giant peak from the impact.

However, it failed to locate Chen Yushu's exact position for a time, which is why it struck the giant peak and caused enormous damage.

"You wicked dragon! How dare you be so arrogant?"

Seeing this, Chen Yushu gained a certain understanding of the Azure Dragon's strength and let out a low shout.

Reaching out is a single move.

Immediately, the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king, which he had summoned from the underworld, stepped forward.

"Go, bring that wicked dragon to me!"

As he spoke, Chen Yushu reached out and touched the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king.

boom! boom!
Almost instantly, an extremely terrifying and powerful force was poured into them.

The terrifying power infused into them caused their strength to surge rapidly.

Peak Evil Spirit, Demonic Level, Early Demonic Level, Mid-Demonic Level, Late Demonic Level...

It only stopped after reaching the late stage of the Demonic level.

Open the altar! Open the altar!
This is the power bestowed by the rules of heaven and earth after the ritual is performed.

The more profound one's understanding and cultivation of the altar, the stronger the power bestowed when casting spells.

At the beginning, Chen Yushu could only command ghosts at the level of fierce ghosts. The power that the altar injected into the ghosts' bodies was also limited. The initial level of evil spirits was the limit.

Later, he mastered the art of opening altars, achieving a minor level of proficiency, which enabled him to command evil spirits and elevate their power to the peak level of evil spirits.

During the battle with Granny Jiang in Jianghuan Town, the reason why Zuo Zongheng, who was at the early stage of the Chong level, was able to fight was because the other party took the initiative to enter the battle and contribute to him.

Otherwise, the outcome of that battle would have been uncertain.

After all, the gap in strength is indeed too great.

After all, at that time, he was only at the level of the Three Incense Sticks Daoist cultivation.

Even after three incense sticks' worth of cultivation, he still hadn't reached perfection.

And at this time.

Chen Yushu had entered the Dao Night Travel Realm. Not to mention the improvement in his realm, he had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.

Even the method of opening the altar has been improved, reaching a state of mastery.

Naturally, the power of heaven and earth that can be drawn upon is even stronger.

Correspondingly, the increase in power of the spirits entering the altar is even more terrifying.

of course.

The late-stage power aura of the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king was only temporary and brief. Compared with a true late-stage ghost spirit, it was vastly different and far inferior.

The strength was there, but the skills and techniques were not.

What they faced was a Azure Dragon at the Disaster Level, but they were still a whole realm away from it.

However, Chen Yushu is confident about this.

Because once the altar is opened, the power of the rules surpasses everything else.

After he opened the altar, he could bring the evil spirits directly by using the soldiers drawn on the military talisman.

It should be noted that even if the weapon talisman is activated, it is at most at the level of a demon.

The power of the altar can be used to summon evil spirits, which shows how powerful the rules are.

"Yes!"

Both the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king responded respectfully, then quickly turned and stepped forward.

It only took two steps before it disappeared from the spot.

Then it reappeared and came to the side of the Azure Dragon that had just emerged from the water.

Upon seeing this enormous creature, even though they were fully aware of their different forms—the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king—they were still startled, but they still managed to strike the Azure Dragon's head.

In an instant, they felt a terrifying force of rules being transmitted through their palms, creating a special field between them.

Then they looked at each other and a thought crossed their minds.

The next moment, they pulled the Azure Dragon and instantly appeared in front of the altar where Chen Yushu was.

This scene was witnessed by Chen He and his group in the distance.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around them and guessing that a senior had made a move, they dared not approach, but they did not leave immediately either. Instead, they all found a relatively safe spot and began to observe.

As they watched the Azure Dragon control the water column and destroy a mountain, they hesitated about whether to retreat further. Then, they saw two figures suddenly appear in the night sky.

Without any warning, it appeared directly beside the Azure Dragon.

Then, the two figures instantly made their move, each placing one hand on the Azure Dragon, and the Azure Dragon vanished...

This is an absolutely stunning scene.

How enormous is the Azure Dragon's body?
It was ten zhang long, with a ferocious dragon head, resembling a small house, and its entire body exuded terrifying power.

With their strength, even if the other party were to drag them without any resistance, they might not be able to move them, let alone take them away instantly.

It's truly shocking and unbelievable.

"But what exactly was that thing that just appeared?"

It was at this moment that Xu Zhen couldn't help but speak up, his face full of horror, and said, "It looks like a ghost and a zombie?"

"It's the evil-faced demon and the red-haired corpse king."

If I'm not mistaken, these figures should be those two legendary beings.

It is also one of the exclusive methods of controlling ghosts and zombies for the Hundred Ghosts Taoist.

I was fortunate enough to witness the Hundred Ghosts Taoist's intervention once, and two powerful beings appeared.

Upon hearing this, Chen He couldn't help but blurt it out, his face full of excitement.

"The Hundred Ghosts Taoist's exclusive ability to control ghosts and zombies?"
So, the one who just attacked was Senior Hundred Demons?

Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask in shock.

Zhang He, standing to the side, also opened his mouth wide, and his face showed excitement.

The Hundred Ghosts Taoist was a true master, one of the Seven True Ones of the Martial Kingdom. He never expected that he would have the opportunity to meet him and even witness his actions.

The slightly panicked expression on his face immediately calmed down.

With such a senior figure taking action, how could the Azure Dragon not surrender without a fight?
