Chapter 79: Chapter 79 [Ancient Secrets, Bizarre Curse Power] (Subscribe please)
Ying Gou emanated an aura of extreme yin and evil, somewhat similar to that of a Nether Dragon, yet his eyes were blood-red, as if he could lose his sanity at any moment, his breath was frenzied, like a wild beast choosing someone to devour.
"Have seen the Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou!"
Faced with such a being, Xuanqing dared not be the slightest bit careless, deliberately maintaining a certain distance.
Ying Gou, in a black robe, concealed most of his body, only his eyes exposed, as if he did not wish others to see his form.
"Daoist is too polite!"
Ying Gou’s voice was somewhat hoarse: "I am the progenitor of the Jiang Clan, and you are the progenitor of the Ghost Immortals. We are of the same generation and should address each other as peers! I’ve come to the World of Darkness this time to seek a place for my Jiang Clan to stand!"
Originally, Ancestor Dragon called upon many Innate Sacred beings to besiege the Fierce Beast Hou, and a fair number were tainted with corpse qi, but very few clans were willing to accept these beings.
The Dragon Clan was an exception.
Within the Phoenix Clan, there was once a powerful being who was tainted with corpse qi, but this being lost his sanity and slaughtered countless cultivators of the Phoenix Clan.
Moreover, just being tainted with the aura of that powerful Phoenix being was enough to extinguish the Phoenix Clan’s Nirvana Fire.
For the Phoenix Clan, this was nothing short of a cataclysmic disaster.
Hence, Yuan Feng, in great anger, led Ling Guang and others, with Phoenix True Fire and the South Ming Li Fire, to turn those beings tainted with the corpse qi of the Fierce Beast Hou into ashes.
In the end, only Ying Gou and a few others escaped into some minor worlds, thereby avoiding the Phoenix Clan’s pursuit and managing to linger on miserably until this era.
After the great calamity of the Dragon and Han eras, the four Corpse Ancestors also tried to emerge, but even with the Phoenix Clan greatly weakened, they did not give up the pursuit of these corpse qi-infected powers.
There was no choice!
The Fierce Beast Hou clan, with their uncannily weird Divine Skills, were even more bizarre in death, truly unreasonable!
When alive, their Innate Divine Abilities could plunge the bloodline of the Dragon Clan into madness.
After death, the strange corpse qi they released could even extinguish the Nirvana Fire of the Phoenix Clan.
How could the Phoenix Clan possibly allow them to exist?
"Very well!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Xuanqing hesitated slightly: "The World of Darkness is primarily inhabited by yin spirits, but there are also disciples of the Jie Sect present! I do not know if the corpse qi from the Daoist will affect my Jie Sect disciples; I need to consult my teacher!"
"Moreover, the Jiang Clan is posthumous and does not belong to any of the paths within the Six Paths of Reincarnation and cannot reincarnate. I also need to consult Lady Houtu!"
The situation of Ying Gou was very different from that of the Nether Dragon, who had the Great Dao of the Dragon suppressing him and could maintain his own consciousness, while Ying Gou had completely become part of the Jiang Clan, a being that could lose control at any moment.
"Then I’ll have to trouble Daoist!"
Ying Gou seemed to be striving to suppress something, grinding his teeth: "In fact, I also hope that you, Daoist, and Lady Houtu, the Saint, can resolve the problem that plagues us!"
Xuanqing nodded and immediately took Ying Gou to meet Lady Houtu and Emperor Shangqing.
Emperor Shangqing casually released a ray of divine light that landed on Ying Gou, then sighed: "In the past, I had obtained a Heavenly Dao Evil Treasure, named the Six Soul Banner, which emits an Evil Qi similar to what the Daoist carries! If my guess is correct, the two should share the same origin!"
The Six Soul Banner!
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing was startled.
This Heavenly Dao Evil Treasure was said to be able to injure the Primordial Spirits of Heavenly Dao Saints!
"Is this thing, perhaps, also from one of the Chaos Demon Gods?" Xuanqing boldly speculated: "Or is it that Hou has devoured something related to the Chaos Demon Gods?"
Lady Houtu also reached out to feel for a moment: "Indeed, it is quite peculiar. Instead of calling it corpse qi, it might be better termed as Curse Power or a poison aimed at True Spirits."
"Their Physical Body still belongs to them, but their True Spirits have been usurped by a new consciousness, born on the original basis, a consciousness that may lose control at any moment!"
"Moreover, this Curse Power can be transferred through bloodline and breath. Even if you annihilate their True Spirits, it will rebirth from the beings that contain their bloodline!"
"It’s somewhat similar to the Blood God’s Son of Minghe!"
"As for why the Jiang Clan does not enter Reincarnation, that is because they have created their own system of reincarnation, where the old consciousness perishes, and a new one arises based on the original!"
Establishing reincarnation, neither living nor dying, neither dirty nor extinct, naturally there is no need for the cycle of rebirth!
Upon hearing this, Ying Gou immediately pleaded: "I don’t know if the two Saints could help me remove this curse power? I really don’t want to be tortured by this curse power any longer!"
In fact, after Lady Houtu initiated the cycle of reincarnation, Ying Gou was once overjoyed, intending to use reincarnation to help him escape this terrible curse power.
However, it’s a pity that the power of reincarnation is useless to him; he is not within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Let me try!"
Emperor Shangqing took the initiative, using his finger as a sword, with the universe undulating around his body, supremely above all. In a flash, he struck out with a sword light, but this eerie curse power was like a persistent grub that could not be exterminated.
In the end, he concluded: "The source of this curse power is likely not the fierce beast Hou, but a Chaos Demon God who was slain by Pangu God in the past!"
"Fierce beasts are mostly formed from the resentment of Demon Gods, and the fierce beast Hou, might have been tainted by the essence of that Demon God, which is why such a bizarre ability was developed!"
"To unbind the bell, the bell ringer is needed!"
"I have no way to remove this curse power from your True Spirit either!"
It is known that before Pangu cleaved the heavens and proven his Dao, who knows how many Chaos Demon Gods were slain, many of whom were on par with Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals.
And they all had different abilities!
It’s not surprising that some Demon Gods, relying on various strange abilities, struggle to survive in the Primordial World.
"Let me try!"
A flash of the Light of Reincarnation emanated from Lady Houtu, with the Great Thousand Worlds revolving around her. Divine light stirred space and time, allowing Ying Gou’s True Spirit to experience a hundred cycles of reincarnation in an instant.
But unfortunately, cycle after cycle of reincarnation did not erode that strange curse power.
Xuanqing seemed thoughtful, then looked at Emperor Shangqing: "Teacher, didn’t you say that the aura on Daoist Ying Gou’s body is somewhat similar to the Six Soul Banner? Could we use poison to combat poison, using the Six Soul Banner to deal with this curse power?"
Emperor Shangqing shook his head: "The Six Soul Banner is a Heavenly Dao Evil Treasure, it’s possible to disperse his soul with it, but it’s not enough to remove this curse power!"
"What about adding the Heaven Suppressing Coffin?"
Xuanqing continued: "Nature creates all things, and there is something to overcome each thing. Not everything is permanent. The Primordial Golden Bowl, which symbolizes the Doomsday Dao, can still become a vessel of Merit symbolizing rebirth. I refuse to believe that the so-called Heavenly Dao Evil Treasures, besides killing, are utterly useless!"
"The Jiang Clan, difficult to bury by Heaven, difficult to extinguish by Earth, indeed poses a snare for the Primordial!"
"But the Primordial is the transformation of Pangu God. When he opened up the Primordial, did he not consider how to resolve the hidden dangers brought by those Chaos Demon Gods?"
"Heavenly Dao, Innate Spiritual Treasures, Innate Treasures, Heavenly Dao Treasures, Heavenly Dao Evil Treasures, each of these items fundamentally contains a unique power of the Great Dao!"
"For example, Lady Nuwa’s Red Embroidery Ball can witness the three marriages of heaven, earth, and human."
"Could it be possible that the Six Soul Banner and Heaven Suppressing Coffin are meant to bury certain things?"
It’s no wonder Xuanqing thought so; the "Red Embroidery Ball" can certify the three marriages of heaven, earth, and human, and both the "Six Soul Banner" and "Heaven Suppressing Coffin" seem related to funerals!
"It’s not impossible!"
A glint flashed in Emperor Shangqing’s eyes: "I will have my true self bring the Six Soul Banner right away! Taiyi, ask your second brother to bring the Heaven Suppressing Coffin over!"
Taiyi True Master’s true self has already returned to Kunlun Mountain, but his Ten Palace Yama incarnation still remains in the World of Darkness, always able to communicate with the true self.
Which is rather convenient.
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
Taiyi True Master’s incarnation nodded immediately, and sent the message to his true self.
He also wanted to see whether this unique being of the Jiang Clan could truly be indestructible.
And Ying Gou, upon hearing the conversation between Xuanqing and Emperor Shangqing, suddenly fell into madness: "Don’t even think about it! With just you, you can’t kill me! Kill!"
But unfortunately, he was facing an incarnation of a Saint and a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. His struggle was a joke in the face of the two Saints’ power!
He was firmly restrained in place!
