Minglong

Chapter 432 Something big happened!

"Om Mani Mani Padme Hum..."

The clear chanting of Buddhist hymns echoed among the glaciers.

The thousand-foot-long Buddha light instantly illuminated the entire rift valley, turning it into a golden yellow, and even the glacier above was illuminated, turning it into a translucent ice lantern.

At the Fo Guang Shan Center, there is a young man with his upper body bare, his hands clasped together, suspended in the abyss, like a holy son of Buddha looking up at the human world from the depths of purgatory. The Buddha's light emanating from his body not only soothes people's souls but also dispels the bone-chilling cold of the extreme cold!
A phantom of a golden lotus flower surrounded the young man, radiating pure yang Buddhist light that formed a circular shield, protecting his figure and blocking the left and right rifts.

"Nine Lotus Overturning the Realm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Huaxian's eyes. He hadn't expected to see this great supernatural power again from someone else after the Living Buddha of the North.

The Buddhist school excels in protection, and its protective supernatural powers are on a completely different level from other schools. The "Nine Lotus Covering the World" is the ultimate Buddhist supernatural power. Legend has it that when it was in the hands of an ancient Buddhist giant, it could protect the entire world, hence the name "Nine Lotus Covering the World".

However strong the Buddhist protection is, it is not defying the heavens. Xie Jinhuan's attempt to withstand the Immortal Ancestor who relied on the power of heaven was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The moment Xie Jinhuan was struck by the rift carrying boundless heavenly might, the Buddhist light and even the golden lotus around him were shattered, and countless cracks appeared on his body. Almost instantly, all his meridians were shaken apart.

But even a mantis trying to stop a chariot can only hinder it for a moment.

By the time Yang Huaxian tried his best to pull the earth again, the Valkyrie had already rushed behind Qixia Zhenren. With a dragon tail swing that was definitely mixed with personal grudges, she turned Qixia Zhenren into a line of golden light and sent him out of the rift valley with infinite suction force.

Upon discovering Xie Jinhuan's situation, Master Qixia was clearly enraged. He blasted through the ice and emerged, immediately uttering:
"That thing who dared to hurt Jiang Xian, I'll kill you without hesitation..."

The Valkyrie accelerated her descent, chasing after the man and the bird:
"Thank you, Jinhuan!"

However, Xie Jinhuan withstood Yang Huaxian's Demon-Sealing Formation and was already considered extraordinary for not being killed. Under the backlash of the power of heaven and earth, his limbs and meridians were severely damaged, and he lost consciousness.

Coal Ball sensed the danger and even reluctantly discarded the teppanyaki ingredients, grabbing Xie Jinhuan's robe in an attempt to lift it up.

boom--

But in the next instant, the rift at the bottom of the lake completely closed.

The Valkyrie was trapped in the rock layer. Her cultivation level was high enough that she was not injured, but she lost sight of Xie Jinhuan. She immediately used her sword to break through the rock layer and track him down.

Rumbling--

After sinking several dozen feet, a cavity appeared in the closed rock layers, which looked like a place to live created by the force of the air.

The octopus wrapped in the robe, as well as items such as the long spear and the immortal mask, were scattered among them, but Xie Jinhuan and Coal Ball were nowhere to be found.

"Huh? Xie Jinhuan? Coal Ball?"

Empress Dowager Guo searched carefully and found no trace of earth breaking on the rock face, nor any sign of life in the surrounding area. It was as if the man and the bird had been completely swallowed up by the earth, and she couldn't help but panic.

If she wasn't mistaken, the attraction that appeared below just now came from the primordial source of heaven and earth that connected with the surface when the opportunity arose.

She fell into the Vermilion Bird Mausoleum when she was looking for an opportunity and was accidentally sucked in. By chance, she ended up in her current state.

She didn't know where the 'Pillar of the World' within the origin of heaven and earth came from, but it was clearly not formed naturally. Trying to peek at it would result in being devoured, and she didn't even dare to think about the consequences of deliberately attacking or trying to shake it.

Yang Huaxian must have spent hundreds of years figuring things out before deliberately creating chaos to disturb the very essence of heaven and earth, hoping to use the power of heaven and earth to trap or eliminate them.

If Xie Jinhuan were swallowed up, he would be lucky enough to become a 'Chosen One of Xuanwu' like her, but if he was unlucky, he might be completely erased by the Heavenly Dao and wouldn't even have the right to be reincarnated.

it's over... it's over...

Empress Guo, as the strongest female warrior in the world, was not lacking in both mind and willpower. She had seen her comrades perish on the battlefield between good and evil before.

But Xie Jinhuan was different.

This child was someone she had personally rescued and practically watched grow up, the righteous successor. Just now, he was kissing and touching her, and doing his best to buy time for the two elders.

If Xie Jinhuan were to disappear from this world so inexplicably, she wouldn't know how to face the rest of her life, let alone how to face Yuehua, Nangong Ye, and other younger generations.

"Xie Jinhuan? Xie Jinhuan?!"

Empress Dowager Guo was extremely anxious. She searched the surrounding area for a while but found no trace of Xie Jinhuan. She regretted that she had been indecisive a few days ago and had not listened to Zisu's advice to use the "adding fuel to the fire" pill to get Xie Lang to help her with her cultivation.

If she had had more energy reserves when she arrived, she would not have been separated from Xie Jinhuan at all.

But there's no going back now, and it's too late to mend things. Empress Dowager Guo could only look up at the sky:

"Are you done fighting? Xie Jinhuan is missing, come down quickly..."

Unfortunately, the endless glaciers and the earth have cut off all sound from the surface, leaving only silent stillness...
-
My mind was in a daze, and I didn't know how much time had passed.

When his mind returned to normal, the familiar feeling of exhaustion came from inside and outside his body.

I've experienced this feeling before, like being trained for seven days and seven nights with ten times the usual amount of training, like being transformed into a succubus with ten wings by my side...

Now that I have wings, I should really give it a try when I have time. A man should challenge his limits...

Xie Jinhuan was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, but her mind was definitely clear. After a moment, she remembered what had just happened:
After seeing Shang Mingzhen off, I entered the late stage of the Fifth Realm, obtained three opportunities, and had eight joyous events at my doorstep...

No, wait, he was eating grapes while hugging Sister Guo, and he even tasted her rouge...

Although they were later dealt with by the Immortal Demon, the White-Haired Fairy managed to escape and secure another opportunity.

So it's a double celebration!

Today is a good day...

With this thought, Xie Jinhuan felt much better. He opened his heavy eyelids and looked around to see if he was back on the ship.

If that's the case, with such a huge harvest, we definitely need to throw a celebration party and go all out...

But when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a gloomy stone hall. Above him were stone statues of a tortoise and a snake, to his left and right were bronze altars, and on either side were couplets that read:

Transform into an immortal, attain the Dao, and ascend to the realm of longevity; the God of the Underworld holds the reins of destiny and solidifies the primordial energy!
It looks like the cave of the Immortal Demon...

What the hell!

Have I been captured by the Immortal Ancestor?!
Xie Jinhuan's eyes cleared instantly, and he turned his head up, cautiously looking left and right.

The situation turned out to be not so bad.

The temple was relatively empty. Coal Ball squatted on the tortoise and snake statue, eyes closed and motionless.

Strands of dark spiritual energy converged from all directions and blended into the black wings, making him look like a bird emperor meditating in the palace!
Outside the solemn temple, a woman in a blood-red dress stood alone on the edge of a cliff. The woman was tall and slender, with a figure as graceful as a golden dragon encircling her waist, which outlined her flawless waist and hips. At this moment, she crossed her arms over her chest, and her imposing height and the golden hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair gave her an aura of dominance that was no less than five meters tall.

Especially beyond the cliff lies an endless black abyss, giving one the feeling of a celestial emperor standing solemnly in the vast universe, overlooking all the heavens and the long river of time...

What a big car...

Even though Xie Jinhuan was already familiar with the ghost wife, he was still amazed every time he saw the aura of this magnificent carriage. He wanted to speak, but his throat was a little dry, so he only let out a light cough:
"cough……"

The ghost bride standing outside the temple turned her eyes upon hearing the sound, revealing her ethereal, distant mountain-like eyebrows and captivating, enchanting peach blossom eyes.

Then she walked over unhurriedly, her red-soled high heels and black stockings peeking out from under her swaying skirt, her demeanor exuding a powerful and authoritative aura.

Da da da……

How are you feeling?

"Uh……"

For some reason, Xie Jinhuan felt that A Piao was particularly radiant today, and something about her seemed different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, and she was a little distracted.

When the ghost wife reached him, Xie Jinhuan finally realized what was happening, stood up, and dusted off his clothes.

"It's alright, just a little weak. Where am I?"

Ye Hongshang crossed her arms and circled Xie Jinhuan twice, like a female boss admiring her personal male model:

"The origin of heaven and earth. Just now, Yang Huaxian touched this place, and you were sucked in and are currently trapped here. But don't worry, you will be able to leave when the opportunity arises next time."

"Oh, then... ah?!"

Xie Jinhuan, who had been admiring the ghost wife's unparalleled beauty, was terrified when he heard what she said:
"Will the next opportunity appear? Sixty years from now?"

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem!"

If Xie Jinhuan stayed here for another sixty years, he would be an eighty-year-old man when he left. Even if cultivators have long lifespans and become invincible at the seventh realm upon leaving, with all his beloved women around, it wouldn't be worth wasting so much of his precious time. He quickly took the arm of his ghost wife:

"Don't joke around, my wife is so capable, how could she not get out..."

Ye Hongshang twisted her shoulder, preventing Xie Jinhuan from touching her:
"This is how the universe has always been, why would I lie to you? You're not happy about spending sixty years here with your sister?"

"Sigh, it's not a matter of being unwilling..."

Xie Jinhuan changed his posture, putting his arm around her waist and saying in a gentle tone:
"Bing Tuozi and the others are still waiting outside, and the evil sects are stirring up trouble, seemingly plotting something big. I've taken so many opportunities, and I wasn't there when the righteous sects needed me the most. If I go out after sixty years, I'll be cursed to death..."

Ye Hongshang gave a soft hum, feigning hesitation:
"If you really want to get out, I can find a way, but you have to agree to three conditions."

Xie Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest lightly:

"Do we even need to negotiate? Your word is law. I'd be punished even if I disobeyed you once, let alone three times..."

As they spoke, Xie Jinhuan habitually touched his waist, only to find that the ghost's physical effects were becoming increasingly realistic. He could even faintly feel the heartbeat and the flow of energy within his body, just like a real person...

I just don't know if it looks realistic...

thump~
Ye Hongshang didn't need to look to know what Xie Xiaohuan was thinking, so he raised his hand and flicked her forehead:
"Don't overthink it, listen to the terms first."

"it is good."

"Firstly, my older sister is the eldest child in the family, you don't have any objections, right?"

Xie Jinhuan figured that with the pile of evidence his ghost wife had gathered, probably no one in the family would dare to say no, and shrugged slightly.
"What's the point of my objection?"

"Of course it's useless."

"That's settled then, what objection could I possibly have?"

Ye Hongshang nodded in satisfaction: "Secondly, you can only take it if your sister gives it to you. If she doesn't give it to you, you can't force her..."

"?"

Xie Jinhuan was speechless:

"If you don't give it to me, it will clip through the film. What good will it do if I force it?"

"Never mind whether it works or not, just tell me if you agree or not."

"no problem."

Ye Hongshang nodded slightly and continued:

"Third, let bygones be bygones. From now on, let's just focus on robbing and taking what we can. Let's not dwell on the past, such as what you experienced overseas or what my previous status was."

"..."

Xie Jinhuan doesn't remember the exact scenes overseas, but she secretly recorded her experiences by writing in her diary, which counts as a form of memory.

Seeing his ghost wife say this, he was somewhat embarrassed:

"I have to help you get your body back, right? Otherwise, if we keep having this 'love affair between a human and a ghost,' and Sister Ye becomes powerful because of her child, you can't blame me for crying..."

"Heh~ Why would a sister be afraid of a half-grown girl?"

Ye Hongshang's eyes were filled with the confidence and arrogance of a first wife. She raised her hand, lifted Xie Jinhuan's chin, and leaned forward to give her a quick kiss.
"Sister, figure it out yourself. You tell me first whether you agree or not."

Xie Jinhuan sighed: "Fine. As long as we can be together forever, you can also get back your true form. Why should I research the past? What if you are an ancient demon? I'll have to go through all the trouble to clear your name."

"Humph~"

Ye Hongshang was very satisfied. She raised her fair hand and hooked her little finger over her finger:

"Pinky promise, it's a deal."

Xie Jinhuan felt that his ghost wife was a bit childish. He raised his hand to make a pinky promise, and as his fingers touched her delicate skin, a faint fragrance of a young woman wafted over him. He felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it...
-
I'm a little too exhausted, I need to take a day off tomorrow!
