The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1238 - 647: Earthquake Reveals Heroic Souls (Part 2)

During the time at the Ezhou Immortal Cave, the Earth Immortal Body that Liu Gang and his wife refined had just such a flavor.

Looking around, Li Yan had already vaguely guessed the reason.

The physical body is a vessel of bitter redemption, whether returning to life or body seizing reincarnation, entering a new body, regardless of how profound one's previous life Dao was, requires cultivation anew, possibly inferior to one's past life, with great risk.

The "Earth Immortal Body" became the best choice.

With this item, previous life's cultivation can be quickly restored.

Therefore, Zhao Changsheng, Heavenly Saint Sect Leader, Liu Gang... all prepared "Earth Immortal Body" for themselves.

But this item's refinement is not easy, the key point is absorbing a large amount of Dragon Vein Earth Qi.

Wang Xuanmo chose this place to refine, partly to secretly absorb Luoyang's Dragon Vein Earth Qi through the Seven Orifice Lock Dragon Formation, and partly to cover it with the vitality of the Prince Mansion and Luoyang.

The dilapidated scenery of the Prince Mansion Garden must have formed in a short time, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago...

This "Earth Immortal Body" has not yet been successfully refined!

Wang Xuanmo is eager to use it, and temporarily plunders the surrounding vitality.

As thoughts turned, Li Yan rushed out, stepping on the high wall of the Prince Mansion's backyard, wrapped in a black mist of gales, crossing two streets, chasing outside Luoyang City.

His speed at this moment is even faster than when using the Armored Horse.

Wang Xuanmo, having just used a new body, surely cannot run far.

Indeed, as Li Yan just flipped over the city wall, he saw a white figure swiftly shuttling over the wilderness.

The direction is precisely the area where Mang Mountain is located.

"Old turtle, come and face your death!"

Li Yan roared angrily, wrapped in the gale rapidly chasing.

As he expected, Wang Xuanmo's "Earth Immortal Body" hadn't fully succeeded.

The opponent has already changed facial features, tall stature, majestic demeanor, with an otherworldly presence.

If really as per the opponent's plan, bringing the Yuzhou Tripod to overseas to successfully establish a nation, who knows how many years later, there would surely be a new myth circulating, saying the ancestral Heavenly People descended with divine appearance.

Unfortunately, the current Wang Xuanmo is quite embarrassed.

No hair has grown on his head, clothes haven't been put on, his body is completely bare, like a peeled egg, with constant dripping liquid, just carrying a bundle on his shoulder.

Upon hearing Li Yan's roar, his eyes were filled with fury and terror.

Angry that he, as a Ghost Emperor, was forced into such embarrassment by a junior.

Terrified that the plan seems to have gone awry.

But seeing the blood-colored vortex above the sky, lightning flashing, the central cauldron-like dark cloud still existed, yet for so long, the Yuzhou Tripod hadn't emerged.

Where did it go wrong?

Without the emergence of Yuzhou Tripod to induce chaos in the Central Plains, the subsequent plan to go overseas is a mere illusion.

Behind, Li Yan's speed was accelerating.

While Wang Xuanmo, having just obtained the "Earth Immortal Body," was not proficient in using Escape Technique.

Seeing the distance between them getting shorter, Wang Xuanmo finally stopped fleeing, suddenly turned around, took out five black magic flags from the bundle on his back, quickly inserted them into the ground, stepped gang, murmured mantra.

Whoosh~

As the spell sounded, a gust of yin wind erupted around.

Within the gale, countless sobbing and shouting sounds rang.

A large amount of Yin Sha Qi rose from the ground, merged into the five black flags, then transformed into rolling black mist, spreading in all directions.

In an instant, an area of five miles became indistinct.

And within the black mist, silhouettes began to emerge.

Li Yan was also surprised, a bit puzzled.

He thought the opponent was a spent force, but didn't expect such methods still available.

Summoning soldiers isn't something new, slightly stronger Magic Veins would train soldiers, and the City God Temple in major cities of the Divine State all offer tribute to Community Order Soldiers, as the ballast for Divine State stability.

But the speed and scale of this summoning far exceed that which one person can deploy.

Those five black flags have something unusual...

While he was wary, shadows began to appear in the black mist.

These figures had blurred features, but vaguely visible, dressed in imperial robes from various dynasties.

This is...

Li Yan frowned, somewhat incredulous.

These things looked like fierce ghosts, but had incense Qi on them...

Are they Mortal Gods?

How come there are so many!

As he accelerated, the shadows in the black mist increased.

There were both emperors and generals, and those in splendid clothes.

As he got closer, Li Yan suddenly halted his steps.

With the appearance of these shadows, the Earth Qi began to boil.

The ground below rumbled as if Earth Dragon Roll, and as the Earth Qi merged, the black mist kept rising, getting higher and higher, like a mountain range...

This sensation, is it Mang Mountain?!

Li Yan had never seen such spells. Even with the Netherworld God's Body, he dared not act recklessly.

What he didn't know was that the black flag used by Wang Xuanmo was indeed the Treasure of the Yin Talisman Sect.

Although the Yin Talisman Sect had perished, its origin was quite ancient.

In the late Eastern Han, the world was in chaos. A disciple of Zuo Ci, horrified by the sight of "white bones exposed in the wild," grew disillusioned with his master's actions, his mind becoming twisted. He combined the Ghost Control Technique of the Yin Mountain Sect with the "Yellow Heaven Talisman" of the Taiping Dao to create the "Seven Yin Talisman Techniques."

In the year thirteen of Jian'an, after the Battle of Chibi, on the northern slopes of Mang Mountain, he founded the "Yin Talisman Soldier Refining Tomb," using the resentment of those who perished in the Battle of Chibi to forge the "Chibi Ghost Armor Army," which was the embryo of the Yin Talisman Sect.

In the years that followed, this evil Daoist Magic Vein developed continuously, secretly accomplishing many major feats. But because the spells were perilous, cultivators often suffered backlash, and were constantly hunted by the righteous path, leading to its gradual decline.

As the last sect master, Wang Xuanmo naturally took all the treasures.

These five-sided magic flags were the Yellow Heaven Five Elements Flag, an evil treasure of the late Eastern Han. Zhang Jiao used them to overthrow the land, with the Yellow Turban Army fighting by day and yin soldiers roaming by night. They fell into the hands of the founder of the Yin Talisman Sect and were fully nurtured during the chaos of the Three Kingdoms.

However, later on, they were broken by the Zhengyi Sect's Thunder Technique.

Although the fierce soldiers inside the magic flags were destroyed, the foundation remained, and Wang Xuanmo placed them into the Yin Mountain for ritual refinement.

In conclusion, their origin was undoubtedly significant.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Li Yan being blocked, Wang Xuanmo's crazed voice echoed from within the black mist, "Young man, you are still too naive. Since I aim to obtain the Yuzhou Tripod, how could I come unprepared?"

As he spoke, strange sounds began emanating from within the black mist.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Earth Qi trembled, as if pounding drums roared, shaking the four quarters.

This reverberating sound, utilizing the Earth Qi, resonated with Mang Mountain.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The ground beneath Mang Mountain trembled in response.

Poof!

The Shaolin monks above the Northern Wei Emperor's Mausoleum simultaneously spat blood again.

"The Earth Vein is shaking!"

"Someone's causing trouble!"

"It's not good, the Yuzhou Tripod is about to emerge!"

Even the Shaolin Zen Master Hui Yuan wore a face full of sorrow facing this scene. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Meanwhile, in the Shangqing Palace, the Vairocana Buddha, and other acupoints in Luoyang City, the Earth Qi also began to tremble.

Those suppressing the acupoints were likewise dizzy, their heads spinning, and their chests heaving as if to vomit.

Seeing this scene, Li Yan could no longer afford to care about anything else.

He dissipated the Netherworld God's Body, and two Soul-hooking Thunder Ropes howled forth.

Crack!

As the spell was chanted, bolts of Heavenly Thunder fell instantly.

Zi~

Electric arcs flickering all over Li Yan's body, he transformed once again into the Thunder God's Body, charging directly into the black mist.

Indeed, this strange array was extraordinary.

The surrounding Earth Vein Qi rose, pressing from all directions, constantly wearing away the Thunder Astral on Li Yan's body.

Having traveled less than a hundred miles, the thunder light on his body had already diminished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hahaha..."

Wang Xuanmo's proud laughter echoed from the black mist, "All the methods under heaven have their creation and destruction; your divine transformation technique merely borrows external forces, but can a mortal's strength move mountains?"

Crack!

No sooner had he spoken, than Li Yan leapt up, and the Soul Hook once more drew down Heavenly Thunder.

"Young man, are you courting death?"

Wang Xuanmo's voice came, full of derision, "Though this divine transformation technique is strong, after all, it's merely a mortal body. You've used it three times today, how many more can you bear..."

But Li Yan could no longer bother to respond.

With the help of the lightning, he suddenly discovered that he had been surrounded by those shadows.

This time he saw more clearly; they were all emperors and generals, their faces deathly pale, eyes tightly shut...

"Who are they?"

Li Yan harbored a suspicion, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hahaha..."

Wang Xuanmo's voice was very smug, "Since you've guessed it, let me introduce them."

"This is Emperor Guangwu, that's Emperor Ming of Han, that youngster is Emperor Xian of Han, there's Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi, Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, Lv Buwei, Ban Chao, Di Renjie, Yan Zhenqing..."

"Nonsense!"

Li Yan cursed directly, "Where do you get the nerve to say that, these people have long since dissipated, where are their heroic spirits?"

"Humph!"

Wang Xuanmo sneered, "They are indeed dead, but for thousands of years, descendants have perpetually offered sacrifices at Mang Mountain, incense naturally gathering into gods, collected and harnessed by the treasures of my Yin Talisman Sect."

"This, is precisely why I call myself the Ghost Emperor!"

"Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, to die buried in Beimang, with these hundreds of emperors and generals, mortal gods, the Yuzhou Tripod cannot escape my grasp!"
