Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 189 The Chaos of Yanfu
The three senior [Yanfuzi] remained silent for a while before one of them finally spoke.

Then [Seeing Ghosts] spoke:
"I've been waiting for ages, why don't you two try to bribe me?"

“【Blind】, name your price and I will sell you this 【Heavenly Demon Child】.”

"You and she are old acquaintances. I heard that when you were a fourth-rank official, you even suffered a loss at her hands."

"It would be a good opportunity to buy her back and play with her; it would certainly be quite interesting."

[No Eyes] rolled his eyes at [See Ghost], but didn't reply.

Then [the ghost] continued:

"【Ghost Hair】, what do you have to say!"

"You said you'd use the quality of the beacon to judge its merits."

"When it comes to beacon quality, what can your two find that compares to my [Heavenly Demon Child]?"

Upon hearing this, [Ghost Hair] spoke up instead:
"Then you shall take the lead. We will lead the [Yanfu] avatar to the [Heavenly Demon Palace], where you will suppress it."

[Ghost Hair] actually took the initiative to concede?
But after hearing this, [the ghost] remained silent.

Then [Ghost Hair] said again:

Stop pretending!

"We all know you're not in good shape, and your strength is not at its peak."

"You can just watch from the sidelines!"

What appears to be a struggle between the three lineages of [Meat Feast], [Exorcism], and [Death Injection] is actually a contest where the [Death Injection] lineage has long since fallen behind and withdrawn from the struggle.

If it weren't for the incredible stroke of luck he received from the "Ghostly Encounter," he wouldn't even deserve to be on the table.

The parchment ran out of power instantly and hung silently on the door, no longer displaying words.

【Ghost Hair】 and 【Eyeless】 stand facing each other, neither willing to yield.

[Ghost Hair]'s cultivation level far surpasses that of [Eyeless], and he already possesses the [Time Sequence] ability.

However, [Blind] has a profound foundation, and the corn spirits he raises have reached the level of [Seven-Character Stele].

If it weren't for the obstruction of [Yambhava], I could have continued my advancement long ago.

This matter concerns the path to enlightenment. [Eyeless] has garnered three votes, enough to determine the direction of [Six Paths of Reincarnation Stealing Void Array], and also has considerable bargaining power.

Finally, [Ghost Hair] couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up:
"【Blind】, what kind of deal did you make with 【Boundless Heavenly Dynasty】?"

"Solving the calamity of Jambudvipa is no child's play. If we are not careful, the six of us will either die or be crippled."

“Right now, you’ve already broken the rules by using my [Exorcism] lineage’s [Feast God] as a beacon.”

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll take my leave now."

"I already possess the [Time Sequence], so resolving the [Yambhava] incarnation is not necessary for me."

"Let's discuss this again when the next opportunity arises!"

[No Eyes] spoke directly:
"Since you already possess the [Time Sequence], how could you not guess what I'm after?"

"You're probably just getting old and feeling guilty, having lost your resolve and sharpness, and you've given up!"

"The situation is about to change, and you won't have a chance to back down!"

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a female voice pierced through the Tower of Babel and came through:

"You bunch of stray dogs, whining on and on! [Blind] [Heavenly Sign] is about to appear. If you can't even sort out your own family matters, then go back to where you came from!"

It turned out that the Empress, who had been hiding to the sidelines, couldn't stand it any longer and decided to personally intervene to push the situation forward.

The Empress's hasty demise, just as she said, signifies that the "Heavenly Manifestation" is about to occur, and the situation has reached a critical juncture.

But things are often unpredictable, and even with the Empress's plan, unexpected events can still occur.

At this critical juncture, an unexpected change occurred!
……

In Lingbaozi's sea of ​​consciousness, the [Offering Talisman] that had been condensed beforehand had already been mostly consumed.

Even if he possesses extraordinary abilities and can reassemble, the magical power and time required are still considerable.

However, having used up so many trump cards at once, the results were naturally extremely substantial.

The mighty pillar of the empire, the war god and veteran general [Duke of Dingguo], was actually killed on the spot by him!

At this very moment, [Rakshasa] was walking onto the golden statue of [Duke Dingguo], the God of War, and meticulously sketching it.

[Ling Baozi] Duoqiu proved his status as a [Star-Picking] rank [Sequence God] with the battle achievements he personally made in the present world.

Although they had won the battle, the twists and turns of the process had left both of them physically and mentally exhausted, and neither of them spoke.

But they didn't realize that their actions had become like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples.

……

In the [Immobilization Pool], the [Duke of Dingguo]'s primordial spirit had just returned from the [Mountain of Immortal Qi] and was cursing as he repaired his physical body and magical power.

He had cultivated for 100,000 years, and this was the first time he had ever lost such a huge person. He was like a nine-clawed golden dragon, drowning in an old woman's bathtub.

He was caught off guard by the sudden burst of nineteen first-grade offering talismans from Lingbaozi, and his physical body was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Now that he has been resurrected, he will definitely search thoroughly for those two out-of-bounds thieves and completely annihilate them.

Just then, the Duke of Dingguo suddenly opened his eyes and saw several figures appear abruptly at the edge of the Stillness Pool.

Everyone who came was an acquaintance!
Feng, Qin, Ying, Zhao, Zhou, Yuan, Meng!

Seven dukes actually came together.

The Duke of Dingguo, with a stern expression, spoke:
"What brings you to my [Immobilization Pass]?"

But then the Duke of Feng bowed and said:
"Duke Dingguo is well. According to the laws of the Celestial Dynasty, if you unfortunately perish, the other dukes shall take your place in guarding Dingshen Pass."

"We have come here specifically to protect you!"

The Duke of Dingguo didn't buy into that at all and retorted directly:
"Are you planning a rebellion?"

"With the Empress above, are you all courting death?"

But then the Duke of Qin spoke up:
"Old Duke, please don't slander us. We have no intention of being enemies with the Celestial Dynasty."

"However, having reached this stage in cultivation, one naturally desires further progress and liberation, which I believe the old [Duke] can understand."

"We only ask to live and to be free!"

At this time, the Duke of Dingguo was at his weakest and was at the mercy of others.

But he was not convinced at all:

"Is all your usual discord and infighting just a pretense?"

But then the Duke of Ying spoke up:
"That's not entirely true!"

"Old Qin and I loathe each other; it's not something that can be faked."

"However, compared to that, breaking free from the constraints of the [Spirit Official] system is more important."

"Duke Dingguo, with your achievements, you would have a brighter future if you joined us in leaving the Spirit Official system. Why insist on this?"

The Duke of Dingguo scoffed at this statement and then replied:

"You will all die! I will report this to the Empress and have your magical powers and status erased!"

After saying this, the Duke of Dingguo directly self-destructed his newly returned divine soul, and his primordial spirit returned to the Immortal Qi Mountain.

The other six dukes all set their sights on the Duke of Ying.

Then the Duke of Qin spoke:
"Duke Ying, we have already taken the risk. The rest is up to you."

But then the Duke of Ying stepped into the Stasis Pool and said:
"Fellow Daoists, rest assured, I have sworn an oath that the [Yanfu Dao] will never betray your trust."

After saying this, the Duke of Ying actually self-destructed on the spot, blasting all his flesh, blood, and magical power into dust.

His flesh and blood were extremely peculiar, instantly and completely polluting the entire [Immobilization Pool]!
The most convenient path to resurrection for the entire [Wuji Celestial Dynasty] will be blocked as a result.

This [Duke] of the Celestial Dynasty, the former [Emperor Ying], after removing all his disguises, is actually the true disciple of the [Yanfu Dao] meat banquet lineage, the [Sick] senior brother, whose Dharma name is Younan.

As for how he was given the title of "Duke" more than 3,700 years ago, bound to this "Tianjing Star," and forcibly stripped of his "Yanfuzi" identity, that's another story altogether.

Sealing the [Immobilization Pool] wasn't enough. After his primordial spirit returned to his [Life Stele] on the [Immortal Qi Mountain], he defied the world and did something that would shock the entire [Boundless Heavenly Dynasty]!
He then disintegrated and destroyed the Five-Character Stele he had painstakingly refined, setting off a massive firework display in the Lingxiao Pavilion, which the Empress herself had built on the Immortal Qi Mountain.

And the direction of his fireworks just happened to reveal the "Life Stele" of the Duke of Dingguo.

Despite having been separated from the [Yanfu Dao] for thousands of years, You Nan has already become a [Great Spirit Official].

However, his magical power contained a heavy aura of the [Yambhava Path] magical power.

When he unreservedly exposed his location on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

It was the first thing that attracted the attention of the [Yanfu] incarnation.

The terrifying troll was suddenly awakened from its slumber and immediately saw the [Duke of Dingguo] Life Stele enveloped in magical power, and even the entire [Lingxiao Pavilion].

It instantly revealed its immense desire, rushing towards the direction of the Duke of Dingguo.

[No Eyes] had already laid the plan!

Even without using the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Void Stealing Array], he still had a way to lure the [Yanfu] avatar to the immortal mountain of the [Boundless Heavenly Dynasty].

……

When the Duke of Ying unleashed his magical power to lure Yanfu to his door, the Empress immediately sensed it!
Inside the Tower of Babel, the Empress was about to make her move when she discovered that the situation had changed drastically!
She then spoke:

"[Blind], you're playing these useless tricks on me again. I'll settle the score with you after this is all over!"

After saying this, the Empress's consciousness disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

In an instant, the four aspects of nature—earth, human, ghost, and god—gathered together in the Cave of Darkness Palace atop the immortal mountain.

The four avatars watched the oncoming [Yanfu] with bated breath, ready for battle; a great battle was about to erupt!
……

Inside the Tower of Babel, apart from the one who is "sick," everyone is a powerful being of the second rank or above.

Gui Mao and the others also noticed the dramatic changes on the Immortal Qi Mountain!
But then [Ghost Hair] spoke up directly:
"[Blind], I never imagined you actually convinced the Empress to dare to do such a thing!"

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older; you have more courage than I do!"

Of those present, he possessed the highest cultivation level and saw through the scheme behind "Blindness".

But [Eyeless] didn't say much, but instead spoke directly:
"No need for words, form the formation!"

After saying that, his magical power surged forth, and his divine eye between his brows shone brightly through the netherworld!
Then, his figure transformed into a streak of light and fled towards the outer heavens.

It wasn't convenient to use his skills on this [Tianjing Star], so in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the depths of the void.

A wondrous phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind him.

【No Eyes】is the sole possessor of the 【Animal Realm】, transforming human eyes into the eyes of demons, immortals, Buddhas, gods, and ghosts.

Immediately following, [Ghost Hair] transformed into the true form of a black dragon, which was a thousand feet long.

The other three [Yanfuzi], consisting of a painting, a leg, and a group of people, saved themselves the trouble by riding dragons.

The five [Yanfuzi] gathered here, their forms entering the six realms of reincarnation.

One of them stood on the [Mortal Path], using the claws of a demon to transform into the feet of a human, and the body of a demon god to transform into the form of a mortal. Thus, the two [Yanfuzi] of the [Meat Feast] lineage returned to their positions.

Then, a painting was placed on the [Hell Path], and countless ghosts and demonic soldiers surged out of the painting. Enveloped within them was the [Heavenly Demon Child] with his eyes tightly closed.

Upon closer inspection, these ghosts and demonic soldiers are not physical entities, but rather manifestations of malevolent and treacherous energy, plague-causing evil energy, and demonic energy of flesh and blood.

That person landed on the [Heavenly Path]. Although his magical power was slightly weaker, he firmly held onto this cycle of reincarnation with his pure [Yanfu] aura, without being at a disadvantage at all.

The two great cultivators of the [Death Prescription] lineage have officially returned to their positions.

The black dragon materialized and rose into the air, coiling in the void. Its magical power grew stronger and stronger, and its body was filled with the immortal energy of the [Ghost Hair].

Immediately afterwards, it charged headlong into the [Asura Path], alone and holding its position.

Currently, the cycle of reincarnation has reached its fifth stage, with only the [Hungry Ghost Realm] remaining, which is reserved for those without money.

But [Blind] did not wait any longer!

At this moment, he was in control of the entire formation, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation quietly began to operate. The entire formation and the five [Yanfuzi] then disappeared!
When they reappeared, their true forms had landed on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

Wherever they went, a pineapple spirit and two corn spirits were already waiting!

The pineapple spirit landed directly next to the black dragon; it was another strange "fate spirit" that "ghost hair" had subdued, coming to provide support.

Meanwhile, [True Corn] burrowed into [Animal Path] and joined [Eyeless].

The good corn, however, carried its own seeds and went straight into the realm of hungry ghosts.

That seed, with its nose and eyes, was none other than the embodiment of Jing Qian.

According to his agreement with [Eyeless], his true body was hidden in the [Void Realm], and he only came here through an avatar.

This corn kernel incarnation is of a quality and rank incomparable to that of the [Feast God].

However, all the missing power within the great formation was made up by [Eyeless].

At this point, the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Void-Stealing Array] has been completely set up!
The members of the [Yanfuzi] dared not waste any time and fully activated the power of the magic array to begin the next step of the plan.

This supreme array, a secret transmission of the [Yanfu Dao], is extraordinary and powerful. It gathers the power of six [Yanfu Zi] and can comprehensively enhance the wonders of space.

When [Ghost Hair] threw the black dragon he controlled into the great formation, the black dragon was easily refined to death by the power of the formation.

With the death of the second-rank dragon, its primordial spirit found release on this [Mountain of Immortal Qi] and began to rush toward the location of the black dragon's [Life Stele].

At this moment, the power of the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Void Stealing Array] instantly erupted, locking onto the black dragon's primordial spirit and giving chase!

In just a few moments, the six Yama Princes completely located a dragon palace temple hidden on the Immortal Qi Mountain!
This is the core secret realm of the Heavenly Dragon Palace, the first force to suppress the Western Mang Dragon Heaven.

It was forged by the combined efforts of the first-rank [Heavenly Dragon Ancestor] and the second-rank [Eternal Dragon Mother].

Most of the second-rank beings of the core bloodline of the Dragon Clan will store their [Life Tablet] in the [Heavenly Dragon Palace].

Throughout the myriad realms, many great cultivators have visited the Heavenly Dragon Palace, including Jing Qian.

This place is where the titles of the Dragon Emperors of all realms are inherited. Anyone who can be invited by the Dragon Emperor of a realm to attend the ceremony can descend here.

However, without an invitation to attend the ceremony, very few people can locate the [Tianlong Palace] on their own.

This is a top-secret secret of the Dragon Clan!
However, the [Yanfu Dao] sacrificed a second-grade true dragon, and for the first time ever, they came to pursue them!

However, none of the [Yanfuzi] took any further action.

Instead, it continued to urge the power of the great formation forward.

This time, the Heavenly Demon Child, the Three Paths Woman, was thrown into the great formation by the Ghost Seer.

A massive amount of magical power rolled over the dead fish like a wheel, completely annihilating the [Heavenly Demon Child].

The physical body of the Three Paths Woman perished, and her primordial spirit also rushed towards the secret realm of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Not long after, a bronze palace appeared before the eyes of all the [Yanfuzi].

The Heavenly Demon Palace also revealed the most crucial core building, the Immortal Qi Mountain.

But this is not the end!

When the Three Paths Woman unexpectedly perished, almost all the second-rank powerful beings who had been restrained by her potent poison were instantly freed.

Suddenly, dozens of shimmering Destiny Tablets, scattered throughout the entire Immortal Qi Mountain, appeared before the [Yanfuzi] for a brief moment before disappearing again.

Those who are observant have already recorded all the powerful figures whose names they revealed on the "Destiny Tablet"!
After achieving two key breakthroughs, the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Stealing the Void] formation was activated once again.

This time, the power of the grand formation connected with Jing Qian's avatar in the Hungry Ghost Realm, and following his guidance, attacked a location in the mortal world.

Upon closer inspection, the guiding light went straight into the Silver Ring Palace and shone on the incarnation of the Feast God, who was still lying on the ground, extinguishing the resentment of all living beings.

To be honest, after the Duke of Ying self-destructed, the Void Stealing Array no longer needed Jing Qian as a spatial beacon to guide the location of the Cave Palace on the Immortal Mountain.

The reason for colluding with the [Feast God] was to prepare a final escape route for several [Yanfuzi].

At this point, all the schemes of the six disciples of [Yanfu] have been completed.

According to the original plan, the group should now lure the avatar of [Yanfu] to the newly discovered destination to seek an opportunity to seal the avatar of [Yanfu].

However, at this very moment, the incarnation of [Yambhava] had already arrived at the location of [Goddess Ego].

The dignified incarnation of the Dao Ancestor, a being truly beyond the established order, has come face to face with the incarnations of four First-Rank Gods, and a magnificent battle has officially begun!

The four avatars of the Empress, each possessing unique divine abilities, joined forces and managed to temporarily withstand the avatar of [Yambhava].

However, that incarnation of [Yambhava] visibly fell into the trap that [Goddess Ego] had meticulously woven for him.

Everything was progressing smoothly; this time, it seemed more like the Empress was sealing the incarnation of [Yamfu].

Perhaps this is the true meaning of the deal between [Blind] and the Empress: to lure this incarnation of [Yam] into the trap set by [Goddess Ego] so that she can suppress him.

It should be noted that even though [Yanfu] has gone mad, he is still an incarnation of [Daozu], who possesses transcendent attributes.

If it can be subdued, it will bring endless benefits to any cultivator.

It's only natural that the Empress would go to great lengths to win the incarnation of [Yamfu].

However, this incarnation was originally a treasure for achieving enlightenment that all of you [Yanfuzi] coveted. Giving it away to someone else so easily is a huge loss.

However, the others had no objection to [Blind]'s arrangement and calmly observed the great battle between the Empress and [Yanfu]'s avatar!

The enormous [Yanfu] avatar, like a living chaotic hill, smashed through the layers of restrictions surrounding [Dongming Palace] and rushed straight towards it.

His form was indescribable, as if it were a mixture of countless twisted flesh and solidified darkness. His mere existence caused the surrounding stable space to groan under the weight of his burden.

Cracks in the void spread, healed, and then tore apart again around Him.

Before the [Dongming Palace], four divine figures stood majestically.

"boom!"

"Click!"

[Earth Phase] made the first move, colliding with [Yanfu]'s avatar!
This [Mountain of Immortal Qi] is her home ground, and the core of her carefully crafted path to enlightenment; it is not to be desecrated.

With every gesture, she stirred the earth's veins and immortal energy, transforming it into a colossal, dark yellow palm that blotted out the sky. Its palm lines resembled mountains and rivers, carrying the will to suppress everything, and it ruthlessly struck down on the head of [Yanfu].

But that incarnation of [Yambhava] possessed boundless terror and unpredictability, yet it regarded the giant palm that [Divine Image] struck as nothing.

It charged forcefully toward the Lingxiao Palace, where there were a vast number of large-scale repair steles.

For the incarnation of Jambudvipa, it is the most delicious food!
The power of [Yambhava] exceeded the Empress's imagination.

Now that all five aspects are incomplete, she is completely unable to restrict [Yanfu]'s actions.

Just before he was about to crash into the Lingxiao Palace, the Empress backed down first!

With a wave of his hand, [Di Xiang] unleashed the [Immortal Qi] that had long been hidden in [Lingxiao Palace].

Besides briefly halting the advance of [Yanfu], it flung the densely packed [Great Spirit Official] life tablets inside to another part of [Immortal Qi Mountain].

The Empress would not allow her own [Spirit Officials] to be slaughtered by [Yanfu].

Now that the [Life Stele] that bound her hands and feet was gone, her battle with this [Yam-Fu] incarnation finally entered a fierce stage.

……

Within [Tianjing Star], everything seemed to be the same as usual, but in reality, it was completely different!
Since the establishment of the Wuji Celestial Dynasty and the completion of the Tianjing Star, this is the first time in history that there is no incarnation of the God of the Netherworld guarding this place.

Even the pillar of the empire, the Empress's right-hand man, the Duke of Dingguo, has disappeared.

For the first time in the entire [Tianjing Star], there was no First-Rank being to suppress them.

However, there are still several hundred second-rank Grand Spirit Officials guarding this [Tianjing Star].

There will be no enemies who dare to cause trouble; [Tianjing Star] is safe and sound.

Such a fortress, however sturdy, may only collapse from within.

The six dukes emerged from the "Immobilization Barrier," each turning back into their own "Tower of Babel," and never reappeared.

The entire Tower District is now deserted, with not a single living person in sight.

Everyone seemed to be silently waiting for an outcome!
Until a sudden and shocking event occurred on the Immortal Qi Mountain, the Lingxiao Palace was destroyed by Yanfu, and the Great Spirit Official's life tablet was scattered throughout the world!
For the great cultivators behind these "Life Steles," this is the first time their "Life Steles" have been separated from the Empress's protection, undoubtedly greatly increasing the risk.

However, in a sense, isn't this also a kind of liberation?
For the first time in your lives, you, my fellow [Great Spirit Officials], have the opportunity to fully control your own [Life Stele]!

This is the perfect opportunity that anyone aspires to break free from the Empress's control!
If you miss this opportunity, who knows how many lifetimes you'll have to wait for another chance like this!
"boom!"

A violent explosion resounded throughout the Tower District.

A strange Tower of Babel appeared, like a rocket, and exploded on the spot, shooting into the sky and leaving only a large crater in the ground.

This is the Duke of Qin moving his entire family!

He took his entire clan and all the resources he had accumulated and seized this historic opportunity to flee!

For a second-rank [Duke] like this, under the Empress's command, there was no possibility of further advancement, and promotion to first rank was simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, if one wishes to make progress on the path of cultivation, the only way is to completely break away from the [Spirit Official] system.

Moreover, those who can reach the rank of "Great Spirit Official" are all extremely shrewd individuals who have likely seen through the Empress's purge plan long ago.

Staying isn't necessarily a good thing, and leaving isn't necessarily a bad thing.

With the Duke of Qin taking the lead, the entire Tower District suddenly became lively.

The sounds of rockets launching into the sky rose and fell in waves.

One after another, the Tower of Babel broke free from its connection with the Temple of the Sacred World and began to flee in a frantic manner.

Only in this "Tower District" are one deep pit after another left behind.

Thus, the great upheaval instigated by the [Yanfu Dao] has profoundly affected the entire operation of the [Wuji Heavenly Dynasty] from top to bottom.

If we wait until all this dust settles down, and historians record this period of history anew.

When I put pen to paper, I will undoubtedly call this great upheaval the "Chaos of Jambudvipa"!
However, the current chaotic situation is only a small part of the "chaos in Jambudvipa".

There are still far-reaching changes that have not yet fully manifested!

Within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stealing from the Void formation, several Yama's disciples were rubbing their hands together, their faces revealing focus and anticipation.

That tells you they're up to no good!
However, all of this is temporarily irrelevant to Jing Qian.

At this moment, he finally found a proper way to awaken the [Feast God].

(End of this chapter)
