The Lotus Diagram ford by the Buddhist incense also collapsed instantly.
Master Hui Yuan looked up at the sky, where a tripod-shaped peculiar cloud was gradually appearing, his expression extrely grave, "The Yuzhou Tripod is about to erge, everyone, please invite the Buddha Treasure!"
"Amitabha."
The monks struggled to get up and recited the Buddha's na in unison.
A large bronze box was opened, inside was a green stone shadow wall.
Over seven feet high, the surface covered with millennia of wind erosion and dents, faintly forming a vague human shape.
This object is exactly the Treasure of the Sect of Shaolin Temple, the Dharma Shadow Wall.
This treasure is renowned in the Mystical Sect.
It is said that Master Dharma ditated in a cave of the Five Milk Peaks of Songshan for nine years, his form imprinting into the stone wall.
The stone wall soaked in Zen sense, generations of high monks used the Sanskrit script of the Lengjia Scripture to add inscriptions, gradually becoming a holy object for demon suppression.
Initially a Zen Observation Artifact, it was secretly buried by martial monks to escape disaster during the Tang Hui Chang's suppression of Buddhism.
Most famously during the Yuan You Period of the Northern Song, when the Yellow River burst its banks, the monks sank the shadow wall into the riverbed for three days.
Three days later, a dragon corpse floated up from the Yellow River, along with various large fish and turtles, burned with peach wood, the foul smoke spread for a hundred miles, and thereafter the Yellow River had no incidents for ten years.
The side of the wall still bears a faint inscription, "July 23, Year 4 of Yuan You, Town the River Demon here."
It is because of this that Wang Daoxuan and Yin Jiuge felt sowhat reassured.
Upon seeing the shadow wall stone stood within the formation, the monks once again set up the Lotus Formation.
As the monks chanted sutras, Zen Master Hui Yuan rhythmically struck the shadow wall with a purple sandalwood fish hamr.
Waves visible to the naked eye rippled out from the sunken part of the wall, forcing the surging blood mist back into the fissure.
Then, Master Hui Yuan bit his fingertip and wrote four large characters on the back of the shadow wall:
No Intent Originally!
This is from the four-character verse of the first Wall Guard Monk "Hui Ke's Broken Arm" story during the Taihe Years of Northern Wei.
It is also the secret spell to fully activate the Buddha Treasure.
As soon as the blood seeped into the stone grain, the virtual image of Master Dharma in a lotus position appeared on the wall surface.
In an instant, the Qi of the shadow wall stone continuously expanded.
It was as if a great mountain pressed upon this Northern Wei Emperor's Mausoleum.
The originally trembling and rising ground beca level once more.
Yet, the Earth Qi continued to surge.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
With each muffled sound from underground, dust fell from the shadow wall stone.
"Master."
Beside him, a monk, eyes full of distress, spoke, "Beneath is the Yuzhou Tripod, the Buddha Treasure fearfully cannot withstand it, if it is destroyed..."
Zen Master Hui Yuan looked at the bloody characters he had written, clasped his hands together, and said in a deep voice, "Amitabha, originally unintentional, originally also no object, if it can drag for a thread of hope, its destruction is also this treasure's karma."
"Is there any hope here?"
The monk's face was bitter.
Zen Master Hui Yuan glanced coldly,
"If you don't persist, how would you know where hope lies?"
"Yes, Master."
The disciple imdiately shrank his neck and sighed inwardly.
"At a ti like this, still thinking about Zen riddles..."
......
anwhile, within the Qianyang Hall, the battle had ceased.
Li Yan, holding the Duan Chen Blade, panted heavily, surrounded by flying ash.
All the paperman puppets and ghost ship yin soldiers that had surged into the great hall had been thoroughly exterminated by him.
This is equivalent to a single person wiping out an entire altar's Community Order Soldiers and Horses.
Such an accomplishnt would likely cause a stir once spread.
However, the thunder stored within the Soul Hook had also been completely used up.
As Li Yan's shoulders rose and fell, crackling lightning flickered, and his form returned to normal.
He looked upward, eyes filled with murderous intent, but refrained from acting rashly.
He had finally witnessed the might of a top-level array.
No matter what thod he used, he still couldn't get close.
A short distance apart, yet separated by Heaven and Earth.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Applause sounded above the great hall.
Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo slowly rose, clapping his hands, shaking his head, and smiling, "No wonder Zhao Changsheng ordered your pursuit. At such a young age, you've grasped this thod, but ultimately your Dao is still shallow."
"Back then Zhang Daoling also had this thod, suppressing Six Heaven's Forr Aura on He Ming Mountain, establishing the might of the Zhengyi Alliance, albeit with the power of a Daluo Magical Artifact, yet at that ti it was truly Heaven and Earth, esteed by alone."
"That prestige... Tsk tsk, even if you had only one tenth, you would not be trapped by ?"
"Pity, the Dharma Realm will not allow such a person to appear again..."
Li Yan paid no heed to his nonsense, turning his head to observe the surroundings, not missing any details.
He knew that ti was running out.
It was already past midnight, and without quickly taking down this formation, it would be hard to stop the Yuzhou Tripod.
Rumble!
At this mont, the hall suddenly quaked.
Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo suddenly looked towards Mang Mountain, his face unable to hide his ecstatic joy, "Hahaha, it worked!"
"The Yuzhou Tripod has been fished up, the 'Jianmu' thousand-year arrangent is now at my disposal. Once I carry the Treasure Tripod out to sea, who in heaven or on earth shall dare confront ?"
"Dream on!"
Li Yan's heart sank, his tone becoming even colder, "You wish to set sail? You can't even leave Luoyang!"
"Heh heh."
Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo chuckled, "Back then, the Northern Dynasty's Mystical Sect said the sa of , yet here I am, still alive, while they've beco re dust, with no one even rembering their nas."
"I'm leaving, you can amuse yourself here..."
After speaking, he ford a mantra with his hands, and white paper talismans flew from his body.
Each talisman was dense with yin energy, binding yin souls and fierce ghosts.
Suddenly, inside the hall, a wild wind roared.
The paper talismans wrapped around streams of black smoke, enveloping him.
Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo's figure grew increasingly faint.
Five Ghosts Transporting Technique!
Upon seeing this, Li Yan felt overwheld with anxiety.
This technique, when deeply cultivated, surpasses ordinary Escape Techniques, allowing movent across hundreds of miles in an instant.
Previously, at the Chengdu Royal Mansion, Hou Sheng also employed this technique, attempting to flee.
Unexpectedly, Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo knows this move as well.
If he escapes, Li Yan, trapped here, fears none on Mang Mountain can contend.
And just then, Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan stealthily infiltrated the East and West Six Palaces.
Within the palace, corpses lay everywhere.
At the center of the great hall, a coffin was prominently placed.
All the corpses had their internal organs ripped open, their blood steadily flowing toward the coffin.
Boom!
Without hesitation, Sha Lifei lifted the Divine Fire Gun and pulled the trigger.
The power of the Divine Fire Gun could even destroy a bronze coffin, let alone a wooden one.
With a deafening boom, the coffin shattered.
From inside, half a corpse rolled out, dressed as if belonging to a noble of the Six Kingdoms, but now covered in hair, transford into a zombie.
Even after being split in half by the Divine Fire Gun, the body still trembled slightly.
Inside the hall, a whirlwind started, blinding Sha Lifei's eyes.
anwhile, in Qianyang Hall, events took a turn.
Li Yan suddenly felt the Hook Paper heating up in his pocket and was overjoyed.
He did not know the reason, but an opportunity had arrived.
"In heaven, there is order; on earth, there are laws; Yin Bureau seizes souls; living people beware!"
Whoosh~
As the spell was recited, Yin Wind arose in the hall, rapidly plunging it into darkness.
Clattering chains echoed, accompanied by sounds of armor.
"Old man, where are you running?!"
Li Yan laughed heartily, gripping the Duan Chen Blade tightly.
The Yin Departnt Soldiers wouldn't be trapped by an array.
The vast Earth Yin Qi brought from the Netherworld would be enough to break the great array.
Moreover, the Underworld Yin Soldiers had locked onto the target; even if the opponent uses the Five Ghosts Transporting Skill to flee miles away, they would capture them.
"You seek death!"
Indeed, Ghost Emperor beca infuriated, ceasing his technique.
However, faced with the rapidly encroaching darkness, he remained unfazed, extracting a silk cloth from his bosom.
Upon seeing it, Li Yan's pupils contracted in an instant.
"Earth Official's Absolution of Sins Treasure Decree"!
This item is a Daluo Magical Artifact, used by Lu Sheng, capable of repelling Yin Soldiers.
How does such a valuable thing appear everywhere?!
Previously, Wang Xuanmo carelessly ntioned it.
Jianmu!
Could it be their organization's identity?
Within the Daluo Law Realm, who is backing them?
Nurous thoughts flashed through Li Yan's mind.
Without delay, Li Yan ford another mantra, eight paperman puppets soared in the air, swirling around him.
His Divine Transformation Technique is not limited to the Thunder God's form.
By absorbing sufficient Yin Sha Qi, and the blessing of the outer altar's eight generals, he can transform into the Netherworld God.
The vast Earth Yin Qi brought by the Underworld Yin Soldiers was ready to absorb.
True to expectation, as Wang Xuanmo wielded the Treasure Rolls, a voice imdiately echoed in the dark.
"It's 'Earth Official's Absolution of Sins Treasure Decree', retreat."
"Lord... the living Yin ssenger is absorbing yin energy."
"Ignore it."
At the other end, Wang Xuanmo, seeing the Treasure Rolls taking effect, felt relieved as the darkness receded.
Before he could react further, a massive shadow descended directly from above...
