Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 735 Forbidden Land of Jiangnan
Guo Bei.

A forbidden place for humans.

This place is renowned throughout the human world and even the cultivation world.

Tens of thousands of people died tragically in one night there, and the remnants of the laws of the underworld have given birth to the Yin Sha of the earth veins, making it one of the most vicious places in the world.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yuanjun was astonished. Longhu Mountain could only stand by and do nothing. The Buddhist and Taoist sects could only join forces to seal off this place in order to erase the great momentum of the decline of Tao and the rise of demons.

Furthermore, because the Lanruo Ruins are the source of the invasion of the laws of the underworld and the remnants of divine retribution, ordinary formations cannot cover it.

Yan Ji and Jia Yu, the two who were brought back from the dead, were only able to rely on their special physical constitutions to barely take advantage of the situation here in an attempt to refine the stone tablet of General Pingxi and retrieve the Zhanlu Divine Sword.

The state of resurrection is always so out of place in the Three Realms and Six Paths of Rebirth; only Guo Bei is the homeland of such people.

This also triggered a counterattack from the righteous divine sword, unwittingly benefiting others.

So many stories have unfolded here...

It all started with that nameless classmate, Zao.

The underworld expands, forming its own Dharma realm, the human heart's ghost domain, the white lotus descends to earth, the Pure Land's grand vow, the collective salvation, the judgment of the tree demon, the sword slaying the Black Mountain, the reversal of Yin and Yang, and the forced crossing of heavenly punishment.

All the stories are hidden in the unknown history.

Afterwards, Guo Bei transformed into an unknowable and unobservable place.

The first Grand Astrologer once used an armillary sphere to observe the heavens here, attempting to calculate the cause and effect of the Guo Bei massacre.

Unexpectedly, the divine artifact of humanity clashed with the extraterrestrial demons. Due to the karmic entanglement, he saw a glimpse of the future and was immediately struck by the backlash of the heavenly secrets, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying.

From then on, the position of Grand Historian was tainted with a bloody destiny—

The second Grand Astrologer, observing the dragon's aura in Jianye, suddenly died in front of his ministers.

The third Grand Astrologer witnessed the miracle of the dead coming back to life, uttering the words, "Heaven! It is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus!" before suddenly dying.

The fourth Grand Astrologer...

It wasn't until the seventh Grand Astrologer that the young astrologer resolved to end the curse.

On a dry night, he swung his sword to break the seal of the Imperial Observatory and threw the torch toward the thousand-year-old armillary sphere.

Within the flames, the bronze astrolabe revealed fluctuations in the fortunes of humanity.

"Destroy it... and you can sever your destiny!" He laughed maniacally, never expecting that the divine artifact of heaven would come with its own fortune.

Thus ended tragically once again, with him dying in prison.

This curse of fate continues.

That was the destiny trajectory of the Grand Historian's lineage. The thread of cause and effect had extended to the eighth successor, an unlucky fellow who had just been handpicked.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King, unaware of the danger involved, kicked away the mark someone had made.

It's truly a case of refusing to rein in a horse once it's at the edge of a cliff—a dead end!
This overlord of the underworld just walked in so casually.

Looking around, the entire city looked as if it had been devoured by a giant beast.

The carved door panels of the restaurant were shattered into dust, and dozens of scratches of varying depths could be vaguely seen on them.

The pharmacy counter was broken in two, and the scales used for dispensing medicine were deeply embedded in the wall.

The most horrifying thing was the grievance drum in front of the county government office; the drumhead had a large hole in it, and the edges were marked with teeth marks...

"It's not that foreign enemies have invaded; it's that the people of this city have gone mad."

The scorching sun of the dog days of summer seemed pale and powerless here, and the air was filled with a bone-chilling cold.

The white breath exhaled from the physical body of the Dharma King, "Wang Shunsheng," condensed into frost and fell three inches from his lips. Every brick and tile here had been partially turned into spirit earth. This was a change in the matter itself, as well as the influence of the newly formed Yin energy veins underground, so even though Guo Bei had returned to his Yin-Yang balance, he could not change these things.

Every few moments, the ground beneath his feet trembled with a pulsating quality, as if something was breathing underground. The Dharma King could sense that the ferocity of this newly formed Yin vein far exceeded that of ordinary beings, and if left unchecked, it would sooner or later give birth to an unparalleled demon.

Then he stood in the middle of the street, closed his eyes and listened; the frenzied roars from three years ago still echoed between the bricks.

Although the floor has been washed several times, some things still can't be washed away.

Xu Xuan and his team's professional post-war cleanup work included corpse disposal, the conversion of people using the Taoist scripture "Taishang Duren Jing," and the destruction of traces.

The exposure of yang energy after the reversal of yin and yang, as well as the various ceremonies and formation refinements of many major sects, further deepened this process.

Everyone used every means at their disposal, either because they didn't want to expose information or because they didn't want to create a demonic land.

However, the Yin-Yang Dharma King still used special methods to obtain some things he wanted.

After all, his ability to be trapped between the Yin and Yang realms indicates that his physical form is somewhat special.

The "monster" in "demons and monsters" refers to a special monster born under special circumstances.

It could be a city suddenly 'awakening', a rule becoming spiritual and breaking free from its original sequence, or even an illusory emotion manifesting—in short, all sorts of strange and wondrous things.

In some ways, we've come very close to finding our home in the vacuum.

The emotions felt by the Yin-Yang Dharma King did not originate from people, but from the city itself.

The ratio of life force and death force in this place is very special, almost equal, just like the yin-yang gap where his body is located.

Hiss~~~ The Yin-Yang Dharma King felt that his luck was very good, really very good.

This time, coming to the human world allows me to find a physical body that suits me and a place that brings me closer to my true nature.

If swallowed, the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm can expand by another third.

Guo Bei, I feel a connection with you.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King stepped on the yin wind, his fingertips tracing the mottled wall, each crack unfolding into a scroll of memories before his eyes.

This is something even the Taoist "Qingfu Suguang Technique" cannot do, because what he is peering into is not the residual images, but the memory of the city itself.

Even Xu Xuan hadn't anticipated this move. Unless Guo Bei was completely exposed like the City of the Dead, it would be difficult to avoid this kind of investigation.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King followed his senses and saw what the city looked like in the past.

The flags of the teahouses were half-furled, the lanterns of the restaurants were still lit, and there were even some unfinished dishes on the stoves of several households, which had long since weathered and cracked, resembling some kind of eerie offerings.

A faint, rusty smell permeated the air; it was not the ordinary smell of blood, but the lingering resentment of tens of thousands of souls who had perished simultaneously, seeping into the earth.

Willing to die, only to be resented and hated after death?

The Dharma King did not understand the mental journey the people here had gone through.

Following my senses, I arrived at the pork shop, where the lingering emotions were so intense they formed a bloody mist.

The cleaver on the cutting board was still trembling slightly, and you could faintly hear... "Ten pounds of cartilage... ten pounds..."

We walked and walked until we arrived at Zao's home, where the atmosphere was also very tense.

The woodshed was covered with the character "早" (early). When the Dharma King saw it, he narrowed his eyes, which seemed to carry a hint of hope and the radiance of the sun.

We walked and walked until we reached the City God Temple. Here... it was different, very different.

This place is a blank space, as if some entity has forcibly dug a piece out of history, something that has exerted a power beyond yin and yang here.

They arrived at the county government office in the very center of the city. This place... was a place that instilled fear in the entire city, and it was also the source of destruction.
