Chapter 290: Three-Corpse Successor! Visitor to Taisui Village

Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate, Spirit-Splitting Great Method.

There is no one in this world more familiar with this Great Method than Zhang Fan. The soul suddenly splits, dividing the land to claim kingship, each part gathering mystery, each part terrifyingly extraordinary.

The Benevolent Spirit as the master, the Fierce Spirit becomes mad, the Evil Spirit tangles and disturbs without constancy.

How could Zhang Fan have imagined that in the world today, besides him, someone else had actually practiced the Spirit-Splitting Great Method, with the soul worshipped in the Taisui Temple, high above, noble beyond words.

"Three-Corpse Successor!?"

In a flash, such a thought surged in Zhang Fan's heart.

The Spirit-Splitting Great Method is the introductory Great Method of 【Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate】, and also the foundation of this peerless strange skill.

To cut the corpse, one must first split the spirit.

In the Taisui Temple, on the altar, this soul must have obtained the true transmission, otherwise the aura would not be so pure and powerful.

The most important thing is that those three souls were not separated, but were about to merge.

In other words, this person's cultivation had already reached the stage of merging spirits, just one step away from perfection.

Besides a Three-Corpse successor, Zhang Fan couldn't think of any other possibility.

"The world is vast, hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Zhang Fan became alert and prepared to retreat. After all, this was Taisui Village, mysterious and unfathomable, with hidden Xuan families, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Rumble...

But just then, the ancient altar shook violently, the incense smoke drifted, like scattered residual clouds, like vanishing fog.

"Not good!"

Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat. The soul in the 【Mao-Palace】 immediately became alert, the divine light reflected, and he stopped peeking.

Everything was too late.

In the Taisui Temple, that weird soul suddenly woke up, a terrifying aura rushed into the sky, and the vast Taisui Village, the continuous fog, was like an angry sea churning, clouds and waves weird and orange.

"That is..."

Bai Yujing, guarding outside the 【Mao-Palace】, was disturbed by such movement. She looked up and saw a majestic figure descending, gray and hazy, but behind it, three divine lights flickered, intertwined and inextinguishable.

Rumble...

Terrifying fluctuations surged from all directions, covering the sky above the 【Mao-Palace】.

At this moment, it was like an angry sea tide, about to drown the natal palace of the Mao-Rabbit.

"This is..."

Bai Yujing's face turned pale. Even as the Si-Snake, she didn't know that such a weird existence was hidden in Taisui Village.

That unfathomable aura, that weird and terrifying fluctuation, made her feel deep wariness. Under such pressure, all souls seemed to be buried and extinguished, turning into the final outcome.

"Zhang Fan..."

Bai Yujing gritted her teeth, looking worriedly into the depths of the Mao-Palace.

Rumble...

Just then, another terrifying aura rushed into the sky, the soul light boiled, and a figure walked out from within, the black and white Qi boiling around its body, like the mysterious light of day, like the Great Night not brightening.

Bang bang bang...

Two great souls collided in the sky above the Mao-Palace, a point of firelight shot into the sky, and in the fluctuations, strange phenomena appeared. Countless figures were shaking, as if coming from heaven, hanging high not far away, watching this unparalleled collision.

"Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate!"

"God-Demon Holy Fetus!"

"Hehe, finally killing each other..."

At the village entrance, paper money flew, the lame old man's movements paused slightly, and under the firelight, he turned his head to look at the two unusual souls in the sky. He grinned, revealing a playful smile.

Rumble...

Just then, behind that gray soul, the triple divine light sublimated to the extreme, shining on the world. In a trance, three figures seemed to rise at the same time, actually suppressing the black and white Qi into a point.

Zhang Fan's soul suffered a great calamity and retreated.

Compared to his incomplete Spirit-Splitting Great Method and the God-Demon Holy Fetus that hadn't yet escaped the calamity, this person's Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate was purer and more overbearing.

Rumble...

The three great divine lights shone down, completely suppressing Zhang Fan's soul, as if sealed and closed, difficult to see the day.

"Zhang Fan..."

Bai Yujing was anxious. Her mind turned rapidly, thinking of a strategy to break the situation.

Roar...

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from Zhang Fan's soul, like a fierce wind in a dead land, like the place where thunder rises. Immediately after, a weird scene appeared.

Two pitch-black giant hands suddenly reached out from the back of Zhang Fan's soul, as if tearing his body apart, born into this turbid mortal world.

Rumble...

Those two weird black giant hands seemed to contain boundless supernatural powers, tearing gently, actually tearing open the barrier formed by the triple divine light.

"What is that?" Bai Yujing's expression changed drastically, her eyes revealing deep shock and suspicion.

"Hmm!?"

At this moment, even the lame old man guarding at the village entrance raised his eyelids slightly when seeing this scene, revealing a strange expression.

Awoo...

At the same time, a long howl rose, coming from the direction of the 【Xu-Palace】.

The next moment, the incense smoke that had already dimmed drifted again, a huge phantom rushed into the sky, like a hanging giant dog, fangs exposed, opening its mouth to swallow, and the moon in the sky immediately disappeared.

"The Great Yin is in a dead end, the Heavenly Dog swallows the moon!" Bai Yujing called out in shock.

"The Xu-Dog is born, the Qi-mechanism of Taisui Village has changed."

Clang... clang... clang...

Sure enough, the bells of the twelve natal palaces rang together, and the fog covering Taisui Village immediately boiled.

Once a new zodiac is born, the Qi-mechanism of the entire Taisui Village will be led by it, congratulating the incense inheritance that never ends.

"Go!"

Zhang Fan's soul seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, rushed out from the 【Mao-Palace】, and grabbed Bai Yujing's soul.

"Brother Fan."

At the same time, Qin Ergou's soul also greeted them. He had become the new Xu-Dog, and his whole person seemed to have been baptized, the Great Yin moon brilliance surging around his body, rising and falling with his breathing, the phenomenon magnificent and vast.

"Don't stay for a moment!"

Zhang Fan's expression was solemn, taking Qin Ergou, rushing into the chaotic fog, hiding his form and tracks, intending to leave Taisui Village.

He knew that his opportunity was only for this fleeting moment.

"Zhang Fan, your guts are bigger than your old man's, actually daring to come to Taisui Village!"

A cold voice suddenly resounded, echoing over Taisui Village.

Zhang Fan's expression changed drastically, only feeling that the world was like a vast sea, himself like a grain of millet, crossing the torrent, ultimately unable to get out.

Such an aura, such a sense of oppression, must be a Three Tian Shi without a doubt.

"Taisui has come," Bai Yujing gritted her teeth and said.

Nian Shangxie returned without success in competing for the Heaven-Born Spirit Fetus, not expecting to return to Taisui Village so quickly.

Rumble...

Red light rises in Taisui Temple, incense smoke drifts to suppress the inconstant.

The terrifying phenomenon was earth-shattering, surging from all directions, cutting off the retreat of Zhang Fan and the others, intending to keep them in this village forever.

Clang... clang... clang...

Just then, an ancient and melodious bell sound resounded from the depths of Taisui Village.

In an instant, strands of incense smoke rushed into the sky, coming from the twelve zodiac natal palaces, as if responding to and worshipping the ancient bell sound.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw an even more intense incense smoke rising, like a red cloud, pressing over the sky above Taisui Village. "Human Zodiac!"

In the Taisui Temple, Nian Shangxie let out an angry roar, and his aura actually retreated by three points.

"The Human Zodiac Palace has opened, let's go!"

Bai Yujing gritted her teeth and reminded him sternly.

"But..." Zhang Fan hesitated slightly.

"In this village, the Human Zodiac Palace and the Taisui Temple are Yin-Yang to each other, mutually restraining. As long as you are in the palace, you are invincible," Bai Yujing said in a low voice.

The Daoist fields of Taisui and the Human Zodiac were not as simple as ordinary palace temples. They had existed since the founding of the Wu Wei Gate, and the mysteries hidden within were only known to Taisui and the Human Zodiac themselves.

"Go!"

Zhang Fan hardened his heart, finally seized the gap torn open by the Human Zodiac, his figure flowed, escaped, and disappeared into the vast fog.

"Human Zodiac, your great trend is not yet formed, and you dare to challenge my majesty?"

Taisui let out a roar, and the entire village seemed to be trembling.

!

"Wait until my great trend is formed, I will deal with you first."

The cold and indifferent voice came from the Human Zodiac Palace, revealing a trace of disdain and laziness.

"Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Nian Shangxie suppressed his anger. What he feared was naturally not the Human Zodiac whose great trend was not yet formed, but that ancient palace temple.

"If you have the guts, come in now and destroy me."

"Do you think I dare not?" Nian Shangxie said coldly.

Back then, he dared to kill Li Linglong, let alone this so-called Human Zodiac whose great trend was not yet formed before his eyes!?

"Do you think he can be bullied just because he has no dad or mom?"

The cold voice came from the Human Zodiac Palace again, revealing three points of coldness.

"Coincidentally, I have, come and try to kill one."

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere above Taisui Village became even more tense. Facing the might of a Three Tian Shi, and even more so the dignity of Taisui, the Human Zodiac who had not yet risen was aggressively abnormal.

"Good, good, very good... Li Cunsi truly gave birth to a good cub!"

Nian Shangxie restrained his killing intent, his emotions dissipated like words, saying the word "good" three times in a row. The overwhelming aura collected that gray and weird soul just now, and he returned to the Taisui Temple.

Whoosh...

The large moon set in the west, and the next day was about to rise.

The thick fog that had just boiled gradually calmed down, once again obscuring the entire Taisui Village. Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and everything in the turbid mortal world could not affect this mysterious ancient village.

Years are not recorded in the mountains.

Zhang Fan and the others returned along the original path, and the soul traveled a hundred miles in an instant.

When they returned to their physical bodies, they were still on Toad Treasure Mountain.

The place where the Heaven-Born Spirit Fetus was born was already a ruin, and as far as the eye could see, it seemed as if it had just experienced an earthquake and landslide.

Whoosh...

Zhang Fan let out a long breath, a trace of lingering fear hidden in his eyes.

"It was truly dangerous, just one step away, and we wouldn't have been able to get out."

"What was that just now?" Bai Yujing finally asked, recalling that soul just now, the weird feeling like a brand that couldn't be wiped away.

"I don't know... I only know that the soul practiced the Spirit-Splitting Great Method, and it was about to succeed in merging spirits soon," Zhang Fan pondered indecisively.

The state of that soul was very special, about to wake up yet not awake, but facing Zhang Fan's aura, it instinctively developed hostility. Even at the critical moment, it didn't hesitate to break the barrier and fight to the death.

"Spirit-Splitting Great Method? That person was practicing Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate?" Bai Yujing was even more shocked when she heard this.

Is there still someone in this world practicing this mysterious skill?

"He was hidden in the Taisui Temple... there is no safer place in this world than that," Zhang Fan was thoughtful.

"Three-Corpse Successor? What is the origin of that person? Could it be a seed protected by Taisui... wanting to sit on the throne of the Wu Wei Gate Master?"

A bold conjecture rose in Zhang Fan's heart.

The Wu Wei Gate has a rule: anyone who practices 【Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate】 to perfection automatically becomes the Wu Wei Gate Master.

Back then, Zhang Lingzong held this thought, comprehending the mysterious skill. Who would have thought that by a twist of fate, he actually practiced the God-Demon Holy Fetus.

"But even so, where did this monster pop out from?" Bai Yujing put forward a different view.

Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate cannot be practiced casually. Talent, root bone, comprehension, opportunity, luck... none can be missing. Even so, there is only a one-in-ten-thousand probability of success.

If one could just find someone to help them practice 【Three-Corpse Illuminating Fate】 and sit on the Gate Master throne, the Wu Wei Gate would have been wiped out long ago.

"Don't think about it anymore. Since that soul was hidden in the Taisui Temple, it must be a huge secret. I'm afraid no one else knows except Taisui," Bai Yujing said in a low voice.

"You can't guess the result."

"Makes sense," Zhang Fan nodded and put away his chaotic thoughts.

"Did you find Lin Jianyue?" Bai Yujing changed the subject and asked about the purpose of this trip.

"Found her."

Zhang Fan nodded. This trip was not in vain. Now Lin Jianyue was being raised in his spirit platform, nourished by his soul.

"The sky is about to brighten."

Zhang Fan looked at the sky, the east had already revealed a fish-belly white.

"Go over there and take a look, don't miss a single bit, seal the mountain for me."

Just then, shouts came from not far away, and a group of Daoist priests walked in the dawn.

"People from Zhongnan Mountain!"

Toad Treasure Mountain caused such a big commotion, Zhongnan Mountain finally sent people.

"Don't be afraid, we have our own people."

Zhang Fan grinned, and with one opening of his mouth, he spat out Meng Qingli's soul.

"Sister Meng, sorry to trouble you to take us out. We've been active for a day, I have to go back and take a hot shower," Zhang Fan looked at Meng Qingli's resentful gaze, grinned, and released his goodwill.

The sky brightened.

A ray of morning light passed through the clouds and sprinkled on the long-lost earth.

Taisui Village was still shrouded in thick fog, appearing blurry and mysterious.

At the village entrance, the towering Dragon-Tiger Tomb stood motionless, bathing in the brilliance of the great sun.

The lame old man sat cross-legged there, constantly throwing paper money into the fire basin, as if afraid that the Zhang family people below wouldn't have enough to spend.

Thump... thump... thump...

Just then, a real and powerful sound of footsteps came from afar, and it got closer and closer, arriving at the village entrance in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm!?"

The lame old man raised an eyebrow and stopped his movements. He looked up and saw a young man with a backpack, like a tourist sightseeing, slowly walking to the front.

"Long time no see, Old Lame!" The young man stopped and greeted with a smile.

"I came today specifically to visit you."

"Xu Zuowang!" The lame old man's gaze condensed, stating the visitor's name.

"Xu Zuowang!?"

The young man smiled slightly and shook his head: "Old Lame, I don't go by that name anymore..."

"My name is Zhang Wang!"

"The 'Wang' of Xu Zuowang!!!"
