At the northeast corner of the great formation, below the third Kan character pattern.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared within the great formation.
She wore a long white dress, bathed in starlight, like a fairy descended from the celestial realm to the mortal world, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
Her smooth white hair was casually draped down her back, and her deep black eyes, like the backdrop of the universe, seemed to hold countless histories.
Her long, slender legs moved beneath her long dress, and strappy high-heeled sandals adorned her delicate, fair calves. Her jade-like feet shone with new light as she stepped out of the Stars Guiding Array.
Yin Chang stared in shock at everything before him, and said incredulously:
"Impossible, impossible! Once the All-Stars Guiding Array is activated, no one can step into it."
The white-haired woman spoke in a voice that carried a hint of ethereal lightness:
"It's just a poor imitation of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, not even a fraction of the original formation's power. What's so surprising about that?"
The white-haired woman's simple words immediately made Luo Tian raise an eyebrow.
The fact that this woman could casually name the Zhou Tian Star Array piqued his curiosity about her background.
However, the white-haired woman only mentioned it casually and then never spoke further about the Zhou Tian Star Array.
Her gaze fell on the headless corpse on the ground. The white-haired woman frowned slightly, her eyes seemingly filled with displeasure as she said:
"Your physical body is completely devoid of life, and your soul is obliterated. It is clear that your abilities are extraordinary."
However, the Xuanhuang Great World is full of strange and unpredictable supernatural powers. Even if the soul is destroyed, there is still a one in ten thousand chance of recalling the true spirit if the supernatural power of tracing the source is used.
Even if you can't be brought back to life, your identities will definitely be exposed.
"Furthermore, the surrounding spacetime is continuous. If a powerful being were to trace back time, they might be able to see past scenes as well."
Although the probability of this is extremely low—even the five Golden Immortals of the Jade Emperor Pavilion don't possess such an ability—it's still something we must be wary of!
As soon as she finished speaking, the white-haired woman threw out a white talisman, and then flames filled with a terrifying aura completely engulfed the corpse, the space around them slightly distorted as the flames burned.
With another flick of her jade-like hand, the white-haired woman casually tossed out a scroll inscribed with the five large characters "Ksitigarbha Sutra of Salvation." The magnificent voice of Buddha resounded along with the shimmering text, cleansing all the souls, spirits, and lingering thoughts in the space before her.
Luo Tian immediately felt a tremor, and the long-unresolved cycle of reincarnation seemed to have a slight reaction because of the appearance of this scripture.
For a moment, Luo Tian even had the urge to snatch the scroll of the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
However, the white-haired woman seemed oblivious, flicking her finger to send a golden bean flying to the ground. It quickly transformed into the appearance of a black-clad law enforcement disciple, with the same cultivation level and aura.
The black-clad law enforcement disciple picked up the booklet and the xiezhi pen from the ground and continued to stand respectfully before the All-Stars Guiding Array.
After doing all this, the white-haired woman finally looked at Luo Tian.
Just as he was about to speak, Yin Chang and Yin Yuan, both standing to the side, said with expressions of shock.
"The incredible power of turning beans into soldiers!"
"You are... Ancestor?"
Ignoring Yin Chang's shock, the white-haired woman calmly introduced herself to Luo Tian:
"Nice to meet you. My name is Yin Changsheng!"
Chapter 281 Yin Changsheng? Fake!
Yin Changsheng, the ancestor of the Yin family who lived for five thousand years, was a woman, whose existence in the art of survival was comparable to that of a great god.
Luo Tian felt a slight twitch at the corner of his eye. The fairy in front of him, who was so beautiful that she was almost unreal, overlapped with the image of the Old Ancestor Gou Dao. Countless complaints wanted to burst out in his mind, but he didn't know what to say.
Yin Chang and Yin Yuan, standing to the side, looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Although they grew up listening to stories of the Yin clan's ancestor, there was no portrait of the ancestor in the Yin clan, and the clan's records were rather vague and relied on oral tradition. Therefore, the two of them did not know the true identity of the Yin clan's ancestor.
It is said that the Yin clan invited a celestial painter to paint a portrait of their ancestor, a legendary figure from the Xuanhuang Great World, so that future generations could worship him.
However, the Yin clan leader brought the Painting Sage to the Jade Emperor Pavilion three times, but the ancestor did not even open the door to his cave. In a fit of anger, the Painting Sage stormed off, so there is no portrait of the ancestor in the ancestral hall.
Even though they had paid their respects to the ancestor several times, they could only stay outside the cave and were not qualified to enter it.
Therefore, even for True Immortals like Yin Chang and Yin Yuan, who are considered pillars of the entire Yin Clan, they only knew that the Yin Clan's ancestor was named Yin Changsheng, a great supernatural being who lived for 50,000 years and survived nine Heavenly Decays Tribulations on his own.
Yin Changsheng's most well-known supernatural ability was to conjure soldiers from beans, which is said to have deceived several powerful Golden Immortals.
The details are unknown to Yin Chang and Yin Yuan, but there is no doubt that this is the unique supernatural power of the Yin family patriarch, which is absolutely difficult for outsiders to imitate.
Looking at the stunningly handsome Yin Changsheng before them, Yin Chang and Yin Yuan felt a pang of inner turmoil, and the image of the white-haired, otherworldly old man in their minds shattered in an instant.
However, Yin Changsheng in front of Luo Tian was quite calm.
Ignoring the conflicted looks in Yin Chang and Yin Yuan's eyes, Yin Changsheng's gaze fell on Luo Tian, and he slowly spoke:
"Your strength is extraordinary. Not only did you kill a True Immortal with a casual strike, but you were also able to directly obliterate the True Immortal's soul, preventing him from even using the secret technique of marking his enemy with demonic seeds."
"Given your extraordinary strength, what brings you to my Jade Emperor Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian was about to speak when he suddenly felt a jolt in his spiritual sense, and his gaze passed over Yin Changsheng in front of him and looked towards the distant horizon.
Under the bright, clear sky, a faint, almost imperceptible shooting star streaked across the heavens, hurtling away at an unimaginable speed.
With a slight narrowing of his gaze, even with Luo Tian's keen eyesight, he could only vaguely see a white figure riding away in a streak of light.
Around him were several golden talismans, including the Divine Speed Talisman, the Heavenly Escape Talisman, and the Concealment Talisman, as well as a large number of jade talismans that even Luo Tian did not recognize.
Almost instantly, the white figure crossed space and disappeared into this Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto.
Above, the grand formation that enveloped the entire Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto seemed completely unaware.
After glancing at the direction where the escape light disappeared, and then at Yin Changsheng, who looked perfectly normal, Luo Tian began to realize that something seemed amiss.
He had some doubts before, thinking that given Yin Changsheng's treacherous nature, he shouldn't have met with Luo Tian directly without knowing his background.
After all, this is someone even their own sect has to be wary of, so they would naturally be cautious when facing an outsider whose abilities they don't know.
However, Yin Changsheng not only demonstrated his cleansing techniques and the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" to Luo Tian, but also seemed to have no defenses against Luo Tian, which was completely out of character for Yin Changsheng.
And most importantly, the fairy in front of him, who called herself Yin Changsheng, was indeed beautiful and charming, but beneath that beautiful appearance, Luo Tian felt a sense of emptiness and unreality.
Its aura flowed naturally around it, yet there was a slight barrier between it and the world, as if it were not a creature born from this land.
Such behavior is nothing like that of a celestial being who could survive for 50,000 years.
On the contrary, the white-robed man who directly used the escape technique was more in line with Yin Changsheng's style.
At this point, Luo Tian was completely certain that the beautiful and charming fairy in front of him was not the real Yin Changsheng at all, but rather a clone or avatar deliberately created by Yin Changsheng when he sensed something was wrong.
After noticing that something was wrong with Luo Tian, Yin Changsheng sent out this avatar to try to use his understanding of the All-Stars Guiding Array to hide in the array and observe Luo Tian's whereabouts.
However, Luo Tian's strength far exceeded Yin Changsheng's expectations, causing Yin Changsheng's avatar to be exposed, forcing him to take the initiative to leave the Stars Guiding Array.
Luo Tian's unfathomable strength aroused Yin Changsheng's suspicion, so he decisively began to prepare for his escape.
She first used this beautiful avatar to attract Luo Tian's attention, then deliberately displayed the great supernatural power of "scattering beans to create soldiers" and treasures like the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" in front of him, hoping to take advantage of Luo Tian's distraction to make a quick escape.
While Luo Tian was talking to Yin Changsheng, the real Yin Changsheng had already run out of the Jade Emperor Mountain Cave Heaven under the escape light.
Luo Tian's lips twitched slightly as he finally realized what was going on.
Even though he was mentally prepared for the methods of the Old Ancestor Gou Dao, when they actually appeared before his eyes, even Luo Tian, who considered himself well-informed, was amazed.
Luo Tian withdrew his gaze from the distance and spoke to his beautiful, unfazed avatar:
“I have no hostility toward you. You don’t need to run away in a hurry, and you don’t need to try to fool me with such an avatar.”
The avatar's beautiful eyes, which resembled the backdrop of the universe, trembled almost imperceptibly, and then a perfectly timed look of confusion appeared on her pretty face.
"What do you mean by that? An incarnation?"
After a slight furrow of her brows, her avatar spoke with a sudden realization:
"Perhaps you have misunderstood the aura emanating from me?"
"The great supernatural power I cultivate is called 'Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers,' which is said to come from a world even more vast than the Xuanhuang Great World. It is one of the most powerful supernatural powers in the world."
The art of scattering beans to create soldiers is an extremely profound technique of creating soldiers. When cultivated to a high level, one can summon thousands of Taoist guardian deities with a wave of the hand.
"Since the aura of the Dao soldier is similar to that of the avatar and puppet, it is quite normal for you to be mistaken."
Upon hearing this, Yin Chang and Yin Yuan nodded in agreement, indicating that they had already heard similar statements.
Listening to Yin Changsheng's flawless explanation, if Luo Tian hadn't been of such a high rank that he could see through the talisman that concealed his tracks, he probably would have actually believed the clone's words.
Chapter 282 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Hungry Ghost Realm!
Since Yin Changsheng had decided to play dumb, Luo Tian didn't continue to dwell on his identity and avatar.
He had no conflict with Yin Changsheng, and Yin Changsheng didn't have any intention of harming anyone; he just wanted to survive. There was no need for him to expose Yin Changsheng's secrets.
After glancing only at the direction in which Yin Changsheng's true form had fled, Luo Tian continued:
"My name is Luo Tian. My wife has some blood ties with the Yin Clan. This time, I am using the Zhuxing Guiding Array to come to the Xuanhuang Great World to pay my respects to Ancestor Yin Changsheng and wish to congratulate Ancestor Changsheng on his upcoming ascension to the Golden Immortal realm."
After a symbolic gesture of respect, Luo Tian stretched out his right hand and threw a bucket of Behemoth's blood in front of Yin Changsheng's avatar.
A glint flashed in Yin Changsheng's eyes, and with a wave of her hand, she collected Behemoth's blood, muttering to herself:
"This is the precious blood of a top-tier Golden Immortal, a divine object used for refining and tempering magical artifacts. How can it be contained in such a shoddy container?"
"No! The Golden Immortal Giant Fiend who provided this bucket of precious blood has been dead for some time. Its life force has faded and its divinity has shown signs of leakage, which has reduced the medicinal properties of the precious blood by a full one ten-thousandth!"
Under Luo Tian's astonished gaze, Yin Changsheng quickly took out a light blue pearl.
With the activation of the Treasure Control Seal in his hand, Luo Tian instantly felt the spiritual energy in the surrounding space rapidly gathering, and the almost liquefied spiritual energy was continuously drawn into the pale blue pearl.
Amidst the vast amount of spiritual energy, a wisp of blood-red color, almost imperceptible, was drawn out and grabbed by Yin Changsheng.
Yin Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the wisp of blood in the pearl with a satisfied expression in his eyes.
That little bit was the faint divinity that Luo Tian lost after taking out the precious blood.
After doing all this, Yin Changsheng met Luo Tian's astonished gaze. Her demeanor returned to its previous ethereal, fairy-like quality, and she spoke in an elegant tone:
"Cultivating alone, I naturally have to be meticulous in every aspect. I hope you won't find this amusing!"
The change in style before and after was completely different, yet there was no hint of obscurity in Yin Changsheng's performance, clearly indicating that this was not the first time she had done this.
Upon hearing Yin Changsheng's words, Yin Chang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up:
"Ancestor, our Yin clan..."
Before Yin Chang could finish speaking, he felt Yin Changsheng's stern gaze and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
In fact, based on Luo Tian's understanding, Yin Changsheng's statement that he was all alone was not wrong.
