What the hell?
Could she really be Tsukuyomi from Fusang mythology?
The Celestial Cloud Sword, one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Fusang, was right in front of him, yet the Space-Ti Monitor System only identified it as a Legendary Level weapon. Considering how even the Three Sacred Treasures had diminished so significantly, it's not impossible that the Yama before him and Moon Princess could be the ones from Fusang legend. After all, there aren't many people left in Fusang, and according to the information Su Ziyu received from the Death God, it's tough for even a Weak Divine Power deity to be born on such a small amount of faith.
Earlier today, Su Ziyu had just read Fusang's "Ancient Chronicles."
The "Ancient Chronicles" is Fusang's first literary work, containing Fusang's ancient myths, legends, ballads, and historical stories. It was completed in the year 712, Ganjin's eastward voyage was in 754, and now it's the year 980.
The book "Ancient Chronicles" is entirely written in Chinese characters, from the ti it was completed to now, it's roughly over two hundred years old.
However, it records Fusang's ancient myths, and Su Ziyu had read it from beginning to end, finding it increasingly absurd the more he read it. There are nurous contradictions throughout, and their creation myth didn't even leave behind any script; they recorded history using Huaxia's Chinese characters.
This inevitably made Su Ziyu ponder whether the things recorded above were true at all?
Even if it's mythology, it should have so truth to it, right?
It can't all just be made up, right?
The birth of Huaxia mythology left behind treasures like the Yi Jing Hexagrams, Yin Yang Five Elents, Celestial Stems and Earthly Branches, Hourly and Seasonal Qi, "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor," "Shennong's Hundred Herbs," the Hundred Schools of Thought, etc., while Fusang's recorded myths left nothing at all, not even the most basic script.
If everything recorded in the "Ancient Chronicles" is entirely fabricated, with no real basis, then the Yama before him might truly be the one from Fusang legend.
Throughout history, those things left behind by beings worthy of the na Saint were always incredibly impressive.
It's not that Su Ziyu looked down on Fusang, it's just that the majority of what he saw before him was from Huaxia, even the official writing was in Chinese characters, making it very difficult to have reverence for Fusang's native mythology.
As a Divine Spirit, shouldn't you at least leave behind so script?
Recording the first mythological tales in Chinese characters, this move is really sothing.
Looks like the book "Ancient Chronicles" can be discarded.
Additionally, Fusang's oldest official history, "Nihon Shoki," was also completed in 720, entirely in Chinese characters as well, and it recorded so mythological information. At the ti, Su Ziyu only glanced at it briefly, losing interest quickly.
Indeed, believing too much in books is worse than having no books.
Su Ziyu looked up at the Yama before him, slowly saying, "Can I try?"
"You may." Yama nodded slightly.
After speaking, Su Ziyu reached out and grasped the Celestial Cloud Sword before him. The sword blade was only eighty centiters long, its surface a dark blue color, looking sowhat like bronze, but likely not. The color resembled Orochi's scales, and the backside even had patterns of mountains and rivers.
Buzz!
The mont Su Ziyu touched this sword, he felt an extrely uncomfortable force surge forth, left behind by the Orochi, filled with greed and corrosion. Su Ziyu's spirituality instinctively rejected this force.
This sword itself contained energy, so it didn't accept Su Ziyu's Spiritual Energy.
It could still be used.
However, using Spiritual Energy to wield the sword would probably beco very difficult. The Power of the Great Serpent was an independent energy existing on this sword.
What a pity.
After finally encountering a Legendary Level sword, it turned out to be incompatible with his Spiritual Energy.
Su Ziyu then placed the Celestial Cloud Sword back, comforting himself by saying, "It's okay. After all, this sword is only eighty centiters long, too short. It doesn't suit ."
Is this one also no good?
Seeing Su Ziyu put the Celestial Cloud Sword back, Yama slightly frowned and then carefully opened the last box. This ti, she only opened it slightly, and in an instant, an incredibly strange fragrance wafted out.
The fragrance made Su Ziyu feel exhilarated, an indescribable sensation.
Yama opened it just enough for him to see a black, oval-like object inside, roughly the size of a bird's egg, and spoke slowly, "This item is called Soul Reviving Incense. It can revitalize decayed flesh and bring the dead back to life, within a day's death, as long as the body is intact, upon inhalation, they live again."
—"Soul Reviving Incense [Legendary]!"
"Effect: A spiritual dicine capable of revitalizing decayed flesh and resurrecting the dead within one day, usable as long as the body is intact. Attribute: Resurrection."
Holy shit!
This is a resurrection potion, right?
But it seems like this thing can't be used on oneself, right?
Upon seeing the Soul Reviving Incense before him, Su Ziyu's expression changed imdiately. Compared to the two items displayed earlier, the Soul Reviving Incense was clearly more attractive, though he was unsure how to use it on himself. Otherwise, it would an having an extra life.
The Yin Yang Mirror is certainly not of much use.
The Celestial Cloud Sword seems decent, but Su Ziyu mainly fought using Spiritual Energy, and he was planning to find so modern weapons in the future, so the cost-performance of this sword wasn't very high.
"I'll take this one." Su Ziyu decided imdiately.
Soul Reviving Incense.
No matter what, just have it on hand. This kind of thing can't be sought after; having it could always be useful.
"You may." Yama smiled and handed over the box, then returned to the throne, looking at Su Ziyu before her and saying, "You're not one of Fusang people, so I can't really ask anything of you."
"But if you are willing, could you temporarily stay and help restore the Yin and Yang and reshape the cycle of reincarnation?"
Now to the main point.
Upon arrival, this Yama had offered a token of thanks, then made a request for his help after seeing that Su Ziyu accepted it.
This was quite a comfortable approach.
Such a thod was far more clever than Aoandon, at the very least Su Ziyu didn't find it annoying at all, and it also aligned with his mission.
"No problem." Su Ziyu smiled and said, "What do you need to do?"
Yama contemplated for a mont and said, "After the Netherworld was taken over by Orochi, the Judge was also ensnared and controlled by Him. They've opened the gates of Hell, and now I severely lack manpower, having to guard the Yellow Springs myself. Therefore, I wish to ask you to help close the gates of Hell."
The main quest was finally beginning.
Su Ziyu imdiately said, "Sure. When do we set out?"
"Tomorrow night." A look of delight seed to briefly pass over Yama's face as she smiled, "I need so ti to muster personnel; my lord can go back and rest well tonight."
Su Ziyu's straightforwardness caught her by surprise.
But the truth is, the Netherworld was currently short-handed, or she wouldn't have extended the olive branch to Abe no Seii.
"Alright, I'll be back tomorrow night then." Su Ziyu nodded.
This Yama is quite alright.
Su Ziyu took the Soul Reviving Incense in his hand and turned to leave the hall within. He enjoyed dealing with such straightforward people.
Rashomon.
Su Ziyu returned to the Mortal World from inside the Ghost Gate, and as soon as he ca out, he saw a head swooshing by, with so ghost flas floating around. Not far away, two Yin Yang Masters were approaching while holding Magical Artifacts.
"Go!"
The teor Longsword from Su Ziyu's waist flew out swiftly, cutting down the flying-headed creature in an instant.
Orochi had been dealt with.
Yet, while destruction is easy, restoration is far more challenging. Kyoto was still riddled with many cracks, with spatial tears connecting to the Underworld everywhere.
"Lord Su!"
"Lord Su!" Two young Yin Yang Masters greeted respectfully.
The battle yesterday.
Almost every Yin Yang Master in Kyoto knew of Su Ziyu's existence, knowing he was a powerful being, almost like an Immortal.
"Hmm." Su Ziyu nodded slightly, expressionless, "You may go on with your tasks."
After speaking, his figure rose into the air.
Though Kyoto was still haunted, it wasn't as severe as it initially was. As long as he could repair the boundary between the Yin and Yang worlds, there would likely be fewer ghosts erging.
Having traversed so many worlds, this was the first ti Su Ziyu was so close to completing his main quest.
