How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

According to Lady Tamamo-no-Mae, the Ungaikyo should be on this altar... In other words, the Ungaikyo must recognize this altar and know the era in which it existed.

You can get more information by asking him.

However, a minute passed after he finished speaking, and there was no response from anyone, as if they hadn't heard him at all.

"..."

After a moment of speechless silence, Shimizu Asahi shook his head helplessly. Fine, this guy doesn't want to talk.

However... without a doubt, this is where the Cloud Mirror was originally located, and this altar is indeed the place that turned the Demon Realm into what it is today.

Should we go?

He couldn't help but think about it.

There was no further information, except that it was dangerous inside. If we rushed in, we would likely find ourselves in a very dangerous situation.

"Should we go...?"

"...Of course we have to go!"

A smile reappeared on his face. Since there were no other ways to get the news, going in was the only option.

Hesitating and cowering here won't solve this problem! Chapter 864: So Many Wraiths

A smile appeared on the boy's face. He clenched his fists and then stepped toward the altar.

His focus had reached its peak; everything around him was now under his complete control.

And perhaps because he was too focused, he could now even feel a thick resentment spreading from within.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of footsteps drifted away on the wind, and Qingshui Chaoyang soon arrived at the altar.

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae said, the altar was very dilapidated, with cracks spreading from the inside out to every corner, and each crack seemed so fragile, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

Time has left deep marks here.

However, resentment... an endless stream of resentment truly emanated from here.

Like the roar of a wild beast, or the cry of a demon, the bewitching resentment and black mist devoured everything around it.

Shimizu Asahi glanced at the altar briefly, then raised his hand and gently stroked the recessed pattern.

Above the altar was a recessed pattern. The pattern wasn't large, in fact, it was rather small. However, Shimizu Asahi measured it slightly and then took out a mirror from his pocket.

The mirror and the recessed pattern are exactly the same... as if it were the key to unlock this altar.

"The rising sun...aren't you going to take another look?"

The voice rang out, and the girl was filled with endless worry.

Despite Shimizu Asahi's growing strength, she was still very worried.

After all, the resentment emanating from it... has already darkened the entire sky!

"We won't get any useful information just by looking at it like this, unless we can seal this place off..."

In fact, Shimizu Asahi had considered whether his actions were reasonable.

The current situation is that the altar is emitting a powerful black aura, which is affecting the Demon Realm and causing the monsters there to become even more frenzied. They then leave the Demon Realm and wreak havoc on the entire world.

In other words, the key to the incident lies in this black energy. As long as the spread of the black energy is contained, the turmoil will end.

However... all of this is based on the premise that the seal is completely and successfully sealed.

Looking at the terrifying black aura, Shimizu Asahi simply couldn't bring himself to say that he could completely seal it away.

Sealing techniques are not his forte, and any seal will have problems over time. Even if a seal is set up now, what about thousands of years later?

If the seal is broken again after thousands of years, who will solve this crisis?

He must have already left by then, so there's no reason to ask him to come out of retirement and solve this problem again, right?

Even if future generations were capable of handling this matter, he could not do so.

It is not something that predecessors should do to pass on the troubles of successors.

so......

"It's settled then!"

Taking a deep breath, Qingshui Chaoyang slowly placed the cloud mirror on the recessed pattern.

Soon, the mirror fit perfectly without a single gap, as if it had been made that way from the start.

Just as the outer mirror perfectly adhered to the pattern, a ray of light emanated from the gap between the outer mirror and the pattern.

His black pupils widened, and Qing Shui Chaoyang instinctively flew into the sky, away from the altar, and then... he saw the pillar of light.

A beam of light shot straight up from the altar into the sky.

Unlike the pitch-black light, it was golden, a dazzling golden light like the sun.

Although the golden light did not make the whole world shine, the power contained in the light dispelled all the resentment in the surroundings.

It's like real sunlight, giving people a warm feeling.

Then, in the next instant, a rumbling sound came from the sky, and the area above, which was already swallowed by black mist, immediately surged with a rolling sea of ​​clouds.

An endless expanse of blackness, rolling in like the tide.

The cloud cover was increasing at a visible rate; in just a few seconds, Shimizu Asahi felt it—the clouds were about to engulf him...

That once unattainable sky is now within reach...

"Huuuuuuuu——!!!"

Just then, a voice came from below. Attracted by the thick dark clouds, Shimizu Asahi subconsciously looked up and saw bloodshot eyes.

The pitch-black color coalesced into a head-like form, with endless madness burning in its eye sockets.

"Those are...people?"

Shimizu Asahi could sense that the creatures appearing before him were actually vengeful spirits, spirits transformed from those who had died due to some calamity.

Just like those priestesses who were devoured by the Yamata no Orochi and then became monsters.

However... it feels a little different.

"The rising sun, they seem unable to get out of the altar."

Qingnvfang's voice rang out, and following her words, Qingshui Chaoyang looked up.

Then, he clearly saw the faint golden light above the altar, which seemed like a barrier, like a screen.

The vengeful spirits wanted to escape, but the barrier here imprisoned them tightly, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not break free.

"It seems that this place was sealed long ago, but because of the long time that has passed, the seal has weakened and can no longer be maintained."

Almost instantly, Shimizu Asahi figured out the situation here.

"And this is..."

He couldn't help but smile and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing what had just happened, he thought the guy inside had suddenly exploded.

"Chaoyang, be careful. Even though there's a seal, you still have to go inside to stop them..."

The seal prevented the vengeful spirits from entering, but it also prevented Shimizu Asahi from eliminating them from the outside. If Shimizu Asahi wanted to deal with the vengeful spirits inside the altar, he had to go inside.

"I know that vengeful spirits are very powerful, but I am not one to be easily manipulated."

"Then... let's go in!"

Without hesitation, he flew towards the altar. Since he was already near the altar, he arrived at it in no time.

Without the slightest hesitation, he prepared to step into the sealed altar.

But at that moment, golden light suddenly burst forth, and the incomparably powerful spiritual energy instantly suppressed the vengeful spirits. At the same time, a figure appeared in front of him.

That's... the Cloud Mirror? Chapter 865, Section 863: The Past of the Demon Realm

"Cloud Mirror?"

Shimizu Asahi was momentarily stunned when he saw the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

When he spoke just now, the Cloud Mirror did not appear, but now that he has broken the seal, the Cloud Mirror has appeared.

What are you here for?

The question arose in his mind subconsciously. However, unlike the Yunwaijing he had seen before, the Yunwaijing in front of him was wearing a black kasaya, and the beads surrounding him were also black. Although he did not have an evil aura, the feeling he exuded was a genuinely cold and sinister aura.

"How did you become like this?"

Seeing his expression, Shimizu Asahi suppressed her previous question and couldn't help but ask this question.

"This is our first meeting, Mr. Shimizu."

Yunwaijing said this quietly.

"Nice to meet you? Haven't we met before...? Wait, you are... Yin Jing?"

He subconsciously prepared to respond, but Shimizu Asahi suddenly stopped, and then his eyes widened involuntarily.

Himiko once told him that the Cloud Mirror was a very special mirror that could reverse yin and yang and reflect all things. Therefore, the mirror itself also had yin and yang, which is the so-called yin mirror and yang mirror.

These two aspects represent two artifact spirits, but the Yin Mirror and the Yang Mirror can never appear together at the same time or in the same place.

Because yin and yang are separated.

The Cloud Mirror that appeared last time didn't say what kind of mirror it was, but you can tell from the comparison of the auras on the two that the last one was the Yang Mirror, while the one in front of you is the Yin Mirror.

"I am indeed Yin Jing, Mr. Shimizu."

He confirmed Shimizu Asahi's guess.

After receiving confirmation, Shimizu Asahi paused slightly. He looked at the Cloud Mirror in front of him, and without much greeting or small talk, he went straight to the point after a moment of silence.

"Now that you've come out, may I ask you some questions, Yin Jing?"

"Of course, this humble monk has come out to tell you the story of this altar."
