From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 378 The Styx Boatman

Chaoju Island is a blessed land of peaches and willows.

Taoliu Fudi is located on the west side of Qianzhang Cliff. It is a huge mountain pit with ghost-faced peaches and yinmian willows planted inside.

Yu Shuyang has been here several times, and each time he comes, there are different changes. For example, the ghost-faced peach and shady cotton willow were originally planted in the east and west, with a yin-yang boundary line in the middle.

At the moment, the peach and willow trees were mixed together, as if they had been moved, and the semicircle of the two yin and yang became messy and disorderly.

At this time, Yu Shuyang could also see that the formation of Taoliu Fudi had changed. In the original formation, the balance of yin and yang transformed into each other, and the yin energy of the earth veins on Chaoju Island was drawn here.

"Cousin, why has the formation of Taoliu Blessed Land changed?" Li Zhen looked at the dense miasma in the big pit and felt overwhelmed.

As the saying goes: Every profession has its own expertise. The key to practicing the Tao of Immortality is the power of incense and vows and the authority of the priesthood. The art of formation is too unfamiliar to them.

Yu Shuyang was also confused. The formation could be calculated using the Black Tortoise Book, but the key was that the Taoliu blessed land was in a big pit and was covered by miasma and could not be seen clearly.

"This formation should be the work of your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I think it should be the details of the Xingxiu lineage." Yu Shuyang guessed.

The seven branches of inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Fangxian, Youxian and Yuhuaxian are all about life and death, and only the Xingxiu branch is involved in the changes of stars.

Li Zhen had also heard his master mention it a few times, but unfortunately, the inheritance of the Xingxiu lineage was cut off, and even with the support of the Emperor of Dongyi, he still had not found a successor.

"This should be a remnant of the formation. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has never found a descendant of the Xingxiu lineage, so I think it's been cut off.

After all, the Heavenly Dao of Middle-earth is bound to the starry sky. As long as the authority of the Galaxy Cycle remains unshaken, the Xingxiu lineage will struggle to gain influence." Li Zhen shook his head.

The core of the Xingxiu lineage's practice method is to exorcise the stars. It requires lighting up a natal star in the galaxy, and then practicing step by step, and finally pushing the natal star into the twenty-eight constellations.

At the beginning, the key reason why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance offended the will of Heaven was that the Xingxiu lineage shook the authority of reincarnation. Then, Fang Xiandao promoted the elixir of immortality, allowing the Earth God and the will of the earth to slowly grow.

"Remnant formation?"

Yu Shuyang seemed to be lost in thought, thinking of the previous arrangements of Ghost Face Peach and Yin Cotton Willow. He took out the Yin-Yang True Shape Fan and fanned the air towards the bottom of the pit.

The fan blade of the Yin-Yang True Shape Fan is woven with the feathers of a large wind bird, which is extremely easy to generate wind. The Yin-Yang and Liangyi True Shape Fans each have their own wind magic.

The true form of Yin and Yang fanned towards the big pit, and gusts of wind rushed towards it. This wind carried Yin and embraced Yang, and was natural, and it directly blew the miasma and fog into balls.

After clearing away the miasma and looking at the layout of the big pit, it is completely an extremely distorted Tai Chi diagram. The Yin cotton willow representing the Yin fish occupies most of it, and on the boundary line between Yang and Yang, peaches and willows move back and forth.

"The balance of yin and yang has been broken. It seems that there are changes in the blessed land." Yu Shuyang sighed.

The last time he came here, Shuxianshui Monkey was seriously injured. Not a single bone in his body was intact and he could hardly move.

Yu Shuyang held the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi in one hand, constantly combing the Yin energy of the earth veins, and held the Yin-Yang True Shape Fan in the other hand, constantly fanning to harmonize the miasma and fog.

Li Zhen released the spiritual officer on duty, who followed closely behind his cousin. The spiritual officer held a golden mace with a divine talisman, which carried auras of both good and bad luck.

Walk down along the Yin-Yang Arc all the way. The deeper you go, the thicker the Yin Miasma you will see. Near the entrance to the blessed land, you can see many phantoms.

These phantoms are all transformed from ghosts. In fact, they are not real demons or ghosts, but they have the ability to fascinate people.

The shadows swayed back and forth, blocking the way for Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen. These ghostly shadows were extremely annoying and invisible and intangible. Once you were trapped in them, your mind would be bewitched.

Yu Shuyang was not afraid. He held his forehead and a mysterious light shone from the three-foot spiritual platform above his head. He saw three nine-petal golden lotuses, three black lotus leaves, and three purple nine-hole lotus roots.

The golden lotus represents the earth's fortune and hidden virtue, the lotus leaf represents the mysterious light of morality, and the purple lotus root represents the purple air of blessings and virtue. Once the three treasures are revealed, all ghosts will disappear and dare not approach again.

"Cousin, are you practicing the Five Virtues Method?" Li Zhen exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

The Five Virtues Method is to cultivate virtue and fortune. This kind of practice has another nickname, called Taoist Immortal, which means that the virtuous immortal is not good at killing and only has Taoist power.

However, because of their good fortune, Taoist immortals can usually turn misfortune into good fortune, and after practicing to the end, they can even become invulnerable to all disasters.

Yu Shuyang smiled but did not answer. He had never practiced cultivation deliberately. His virtue, blessings and morality were all obtained by chance.

With virtue and luck suppressing them, the two monsters entered the Taoliu blessed land effortlessly.

At this time, in the blessed land, cold winds were blowing, ghosts were crying, and there were dark miasma and ghost shadows everywhere, as if entering the Nine Netherworld Ghost Realm.

Looking at the ghostly appearance in Taoliu blessed land, Yu Shuyang couldn't help but feel upset again. In his Xuanming underworld, there were no ghosts like the one in front of him.

Yu Shuyang fanned the Yin-Yang True Shape Fan repeatedly, but it only blew away the area about three or four feet in front of him. The rest of the area was still shrouded in black fog, and a gust of cold wind could blow at any time.

He had no idea what to do about this. He could feel that without the support of the Xuanming Dark Soil, the Taoliu Blessed Land had fallen into the boundary between Yin and Yang due to the Yin Mountain within the blessed land.

Right now, the gloomy wind and miasma in the blessed land are all blowing from the junction of yin and yang. It is like the flowing water of a big river, flowing continuously into the Taoliu blessed land.

"Li Zhen, is there anyone in your divine incarnation who can see the direction clearly? Please help me find the Book Fairy Water Monkey, or find out where Yinshan is."

Yu Shuyang was also at his wit's end. There were cold winds blowing from all directions. He couldn't use his technique of gathering wind and observing qi, and there were also ghostly shadows interfering with him. Even using his divine pupils to sense things didn't work.

Li Zhen released his three incarnations: the God of Wealth in the Yin Treasury, the Spirit Officer on Duty of the Treasury, and the Happy Rat. Each of the three gods had his own divine authority and was able to control the Yin wind and Yin miasma.

Among them, the Rat God is particularly special. He was refined from the remaining rat nest of the black-nosed ground rat. He has the ability to burrow underground and is not affected at all.

In a moment, the Happy Rat God came back to lead the way, leading the two monsters through the gloomy wind and miasma.

The cold wind blew everywhere, stirring up the yin energy of the earth veins from time to time, making the blessed land dark and gloomy. Fortunately, Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen had high cultivation levels and each had their own means of resistance.

This Yin wind is not simple. In the heavens and all realms, there are immortals who practice this way, and even set up Yin wind formations that can blow away the immortals' immortal bones and turn them into mortal bodies.

Speaking of which, there is a dark wind hidden in the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation, but when the wind and sand are combined, it also sweeps the yellow sand, not like the dark wind that blows randomly.

Yu Shuyang did not use the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword to comb the earth's energy, but instead activated the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation, continuously absorbing the dark wind into it.

However, the dark wind at the junction of yin and yang was like a tide. No matter how much Yu Shuyang collected, it was like using a ladle to scoop water from the sea, and it could not weaken the momentum of the dark wind at all.

There was not much change in the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation. The Eighteen Bends were arranged with real earth, and this little bit of cold wind was like a drop in the bucket, except that it made the waves bigger when the yellow sand rolled.

Yu Shuyang, feeling better than nothing, followed the Happy Rat God to a gloomy mountain range. He saw eighty-one peaks stacked one on top of the other, trapping the Book Fairy Water Monkey. Seeing this, Yu Shuyang instantly understood the purpose of the arrangement: it was intended to fuse the Water Monkey with the gloomy mountain range, plunging the Peach and Willow Blessed Land into the underworld.

There are many Yin Mountains and Styx Rivers in the Nine Netherworlds. These mountains and rivers are transformed from the territory of the Nine Netherworlds in order to carry the souls of the dead and ghosts.

As a result, many Yin De monks would find ways to offer sacrifices to Yinshan Mountain and the Styx River to open up the underworld, just like the Xuanming underworld that Yu Shuyang offered sacrifices to, which was the underworld opened up by the Styx River.

"Book Fairy, Book Fairy."

Yu Shuyang shouted at the water monkey several times, but there was no response from the Shuxian water monkey, so he used the Yin-Yang formation to fan the wind.

As the quiet natural wind blew, the seven holes on the water monkey's face shook, and black air came out of them, like a squid spraying ink.

As the black air spewed out from the eyeholes, earholes, and nostrils, the Shuxian Water Monkey gradually began to regain consciousness.

At the beginning, he was injured by the Crow Immortal and was refined into the Yinshan Mountain in the blessed land, trying to combine him with the formation outside to refine him into a formation spirit.

The Crow Immortal was originally angry. He was not proficient in formations and did not know the purpose of the formations of Ghost Face Peach and Yin Cotton Willow.

The Book Fairy Water Monkey was originally a demon, but his combination with Yinshan Mountain and the Yin-Yang Formation turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as he now possessed a huge amount of Yin energy.

Everything was originally fine, but Shuxian Shuihouzi overlooked one point, that is, Taoliu Fudi was dragged into the boundary between Yin and Yang by Yinshan.

Without the support of the Xuanming Underworld, Taoliu Blessed Land quickly fell into the underworld. If it were not for the formation set up by Guimian Tao and Yinmian Liu, Taoliu Blessed Land might have fallen directly into the underworld.

As a result, the Book Fairy Water Monkey was eroded by the dark wind and dark miasma, his mind gradually became confused, and finally he began to merge with Yinshan.

You must know that Yinshan was transformed from the souls of half-demon dead, and it is not the Yinshan stone mine born in the underworld. The consciousness of so many dead souls made the Book Fairy Water Monkey fall into a deep sleep.

To be more precise, he was dragged into the dreamland as if by the will of heaven.

Fortunately, the dead souls were all newly dead and had little consciousness. After a long while, Shuxian Shuihouzi finally woke up.

"You are the young master of the Yu family, and you are from the Zhu family." Shuxianshuihouzi spoke slowly, almost word by word.

"Shuxian, are you locked in the magic circle?" Yu Shuyang asked Monkey Head.

Yinshan suppressed the Shuxianshui monkey, leaving only the monkey's head exposed.

“Alas, I was ambushed by the Crow Immortal and became one with Yinshan Mountain. I really can’t get out.

"Why are you two here? Be careful of the Crow Fairy's revenge." Book Fairy Water Monkey said with concern.

Yu Shuyang looked at the water monkey and then at Li Zhen. He could also see that rescuing the Shuxian water monkey was not as simple as moving the Yinshan Mountain away.

Under the perception of the divine eyes, it can be seen that the eighty-one Yin Mountains are connected to the Water Monkey. Now the Water Monkey cannot control the souls of the dead, so it appears to be suppressed by the Yin Mountains.

"Li Zhen, what do you think of this situation? Is there any way to help rescue them?" Yu Shuyang approached Li Zhen and asked.

He was not familiar with ghosts and gods, so he had to ask Li Zhen and put his hope on the secret methods of the immortals. If that didn't work, he could only ask the black fox in the underworld for help.

The three divine incarnations released by Li Zhen looked around Yinshan Mountain repeatedly, and it took a long time before they came to their senses.

"Cousin, these Yin Mountains are formed from the souls of the dead. They have become one with the Book Fairy. If you want to save him, you have to refine all the souls of the dead.

What is more tricky now is that Yinshan has pulled the blessed land to the junction of Yin and Yang, and it depends entirely on the formation outside to maintain it.

The Yinshan Mountain at the moment seems to be tied up by a thin rope. If the Yinshan Mountain is cut down on this side, the formation on the other side may collapse at any time.

By that time, Yinshan and Fudi will both fall into the Nine Netherworld. As you know, the Nine Netherworld is vast and boundless. Except for a few familiar places, most of them are isolated and helpless.

It's possible that the Book Immortal will completely merge with Yinshan Mountain, and at that time, it will only become a ghostly place in the Nine Netherworlds."

Li Zhen expressed his guess. He also knew that when his cousin asked him if he had any solution, he could probably tell that these words were meant for Shuxian Shuihouzi.

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Shuxianshui Monkey's dark gray face turned pale with fear. He was not a fool and knew that Yu Shuyang wanted to rescue him.

"Thank you both for your kindness. I also understand the current situation. You should leave quickly to avoid being implicated by me."

After hearing this, Yu Shuyang felt a burning pain on his face. Although he had made a deal with the water monkey in exchange for food for Yu Fu, to help him to save the souls in Yinshan in the blessed land.

To be honest, refining the souls of the dead was also beneficial to him. On the contrary, the water monkey suffered a great loss because the Peach and Willow Blessed Land did not fall into the boundary between Yin and Yang, and was retaliated by the Crow Immortal in various ways.

"Don't worry, Shuxian. We will definitely find a way to help you."

Yu Shuyang comforted Shuxian Shuihouzi with a few words, then turned to Li Zhen and said, "Think of another solution.

Even if the Book Immortal falls into the Netherworld, can he remain conscious? It would be best if he could break free from the bondage of the Yinshan Ghost?

Seeing that his cousin really wanted to help, Li Zhen stopped refusing and began to think. After all, the souls of the dead in Yinshan could be refined to the underworld to earn Yin virtue, and could also help him create a Yin storehouse.

“Cousin, you also know that my Yin Ku Wealth God can refine a Broken Money Mountain. I can help Shu Xian refine a Yin Money Mountain on the Yin Mountain.

"After he falls into the Netherworld, we can find a way to contact him and teach him a mysterious ghost technique that can refine all the dead souls." Li Zhen said to the water monkey.

This method is extremely beneficial to him. The water monkey's training of the dead souls is equivalent to paying off yin debts. The dead souls will turn into demons with the yin debts and will be controlled by Li Zhen in the future.

The most important thing is that this is to use Yin Fu money to replace the Yin Mountain of the Dead Souls. By then, Li Zhen’s Yin Ku will be considered to be refined.

When the Book Fairy Water Monkey heard that there was a way, he naturally agreed without hesitation and had no reason to refuse.

Li Zhen changed the explanation of this secret method, saying that by refining the souls of the dead, one can obtain the golden light of Yin De. He told the water monkey the method of collecting the golden light of Yin De to refine the golden boat.

As for the matter of replacing the Yin Fu coins with the Yin Shan of the Dead Souls, he just mentioned it briefly, and even Yu Shuyang who was standing next to him didn't notice the loophole.

Speaking of which, Li Zhen also helped the water monkey. Merging with so many dead souls is no less than encroaching on the fortune of heaven and earth, and will definitely bring punishment from the origin of heaven and earth.

Even a powerful witch god who controls the will of heaven must reincarnate his true spirit. This is the foundation of the operation of the world, and the origin of heaven and earth does not allow any adulteration.
