Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 178 Methods of Deliverance

"Doesn't the Venerable One know?" Juanshan noticed her unease and asked anxiously, "Then how much merit did the Venerable One just consume?"

"It seems... I don't have any." What's merit? She doesn't have that kind of thing at all.

"How is this possible!" Old Man Juanshan exclaimed in surprise. He quickly formed a hand seal, and a special barrier enveloped the two of them. The next moment, a faint golden light emanated from Old Man Juanshan's body, as if a soft light effect had been added to the surroundings. This should be the so-called golden light of merit.

On the other hand, Qiu Ci was completely clean and had nothing on her.

"This..." Old Man Juanshan's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief, but he quickly changed to a pained expression. "Master, you didn't use all your merits to help that vengeful ghost pass on, did you?"

"Of course not, I didn't have it in the first place," Qiu Ci explained, certain that she hadn't lost anything.

"How could this be?" Old Man Juanshan frowned, clearly puzzled. "Then how did the Venerable Master perform the ritual to release that vengeful ghost?" He had been to the haunted house before and had naturally seen the vengeful ghost. The depth of its resentment was indeed rare, and it was not easy to release such a vengeful ghost.

"Oh, I originally wanted to clear away his resentment and then send him to the underworld to await reincarnation," Qiu Ci explained. "Then, I thought that since I was already sending him, I might as well send him a little further."

"so?"

"So I simply summoned the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc and sent it inside to be reincarnated directly." Anyway, it wasn't far away.

Juanshan: "..." No, is it really that thorough?

and many more!

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation! You can summon that directly?" Is he dreaming?
“Yes.” Qiu Ci nodded in confusion. “Doesn’t the wheel come as soon as you call it?”

"..." Juanshan remained silent.

Half a time.

"As expected of a being from Blue Star." They are truly different from ordinary Celestial Realm cultivators like them.

"You don't know this technique?" Qiu Ci also sensed something was wrong.

“Of course not,” Juanshan replied earnestly. “Besides, the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a law of heaven and earth. Let alone me, who is just a mortal cultivator now, even an immortal would probably not be able to easily shake it. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of summoning the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.”

"..." This time it was Qiu Ci's turn to be silent. Fortunately, she had only talked about the salvation ceremony at the repair station and hadn't mentioned the Wheel of Reincarnation. However, she didn't quite understand Juan Shan's explanation and couldn't help but confirm it again.

What's going on with the dog system?

"Master, Master, it's because you're a great human from Earth!" The little ball of light bounced up, stating matter-of-factly, "You are fundamentally different from the inhabitants of this world. Summoning reincarnation and guiding the souls of the dead are indeed basic skills of Earth."

In the eyes of the dog system, its creator, Blue Star, is omnipotent, so isn't it normal for it to be able to conjure up such minor spells at will?
Qiu Ci, however, felt that something was amiss. She immediately made a hand seal and transmitted the spell she had just used to summon the Reincarnation Disc to Juan Shan, asking, "Have you seen this spell in the Preaching Tower?"

The old man from Juanshan was stunned for a moment, as if he was digesting the spell in his mind. After a while, he replied, "I have never heard of such a spell before. Is this the spell to summon the Six Paths of Reincarnation? But... why is it so simple?"

The Master is right. This is indeed a spell so simple that anyone can do it. It only requires connecting with the earth's energy to summon the Six Paths of Reincarnation anytime, anywhere. It's almost unbelievable. "Master, may I try it?"

Seeing Qiu Ci nod, Juan Shan then formed a hand seal and began the summoning according to the spell, but...

There was no response!
Not to mention summoning the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the surrounding Yin energy didn't even increase by a single bit.

"It seems that only a venerable person can use this method!" Juanshan tried twice but had to give up. However, his eyes shone even brighter when he looked at Qiuci. He truly deserved to be a venerable person from Blue Star.

In the end, the two could only attribute it to magic unique to the Earthlings.

Qiu Ci still couldn't understand why, if the Six Paths of Reincarnation were a law of heaven and earth that couldn't be easily shaken, how did Blue Star manage to do it back then? Moreover, this technique was something that was taught in elementary school.

Now that everyone on Blue Star has ascended, she has no doubt that they have the ability to shake the laws of nature. But when Blue Star created this technique, they were still ordinary people. How did they manage to shake the laws with their mortal bodies? And why did they do it so casually and disregard it, relegating it to elementary school?

And what about herself? She didn't ascend to immortality either, so why can she use it too?
Qiu Ci suddenly thought of the temple that the inspector had mentioned before. It seemed that they also had a way to deliver vengeful ghosts. She wondered if it was the kind of thing that the old man from Juanshan said, which required merit.

“Juanshan, have you heard of this place called the Temple at the Repair and Management Bureau?” she asked.

“The temple?” Juanshan paused for a moment, then said after thinking for a while, “I have indeed heard people mention it once or twice, but the Repair and Management Bureau seems to be extremely wary of this place. It should be a force that is at odds with the Federation. I don’t know the specifics.”

She thought about it carefully and realized that she had found out in the library that the Divine Radiance Continent was divided into two factions: the Federation and the Temple. However, there was no information about the Temple in the library, so she hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

Thinking of this, she turned around and pulled out the computer issued by the Repair Bureau, asking the dog system to help her search for information about the temple.

The dog system was originally an intelligent AI-type life form, and it was like a fish in water when it entered the network. Soon, a string of data flashed across the screen, revealing information about the temple.

As expected, there is very little information about the temple online, almost none at all. You might occasionally see one or two terms mentioned in discussions, but they are all positive, with no negative news whatsoever.

She examined it closely and discovered that the so-called temple was a force completely opposite to the Federation, controlled in the name of religious belief, and many Federation monks were even believers of the temple.

The people of the temple all consider themselves to be the closest beings to God. The temple's territory is even larger than that of the Federation, and there are affiliated forces and believers on other continents. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter the temple's territory. First, they must be believers of the temple, and then there is a series of strict checks.

As for the specific details inside the temple, there is absolutely no information about it online.

What's even more surprising is that they possess strength far exceeding that of the Federation, and in many matters that the Federation cannot handle, they have no choice but to seek help from the Temple.

“Juanshan, look at this.” Qiu Ci pointed to a message on the computer.

Juanshan took a closer look and discovered that it was a news article from decades ago.

The story goes that several years ago, a Mahayana cultivator, nearing the end of his lifespan, turned to evil ways. The entire Cultivation Management Bureau mobilized, but they were unable to stop him. They had no choice but to seek help from the Temple. The Temple sent only one person, who crippled the cultivator's cultivation in a single move.

“Anyone capable of crippling a Mahayana cultivator in one move is most likely a Celestial Realm cultivator, or… above the Celestial Realm!” Juanshan replied.
