Chapter 40: Liberating Souls, Number One Killing

Daoist arts, taking the Yuanshi Tianzun or the ancestors of the lineage as the Dharma Lord, once practiced and cast, have virtual images and external scenes manifested, appearing real yet false, false yet real, or becoming ghost god images, or becoming ferocious domain spirit realms, or becoming immortal Buddha artifacts, etc. Especially in soul-aspect duels, these external scenes are even more prosperous, wonderful and indescribable.

At this moment, the "lotus platform" summoned by Zhang Fan's soul-aspect is the manifestation of a path of arts that upholds 【Taiyi Savior Yuanshi Tianzun】 as the Dharma Lord.

In Daoist mythology, the Eastern Pole Green Flower Great Emperor, also known as 【Taiyi Savior Yuanshi Tianzun】, is the one Zhang Fan's 【Lion Seal】 nine-headed divine lion belongs to as a mount.

Legend has it that Taiyi Savior Yuanshi Tianzun has as many incarnations as the sands of the Ganges, and things respond to the sound. When humans are in danger, as long as they recite the holy name of the Yuanshi Tianzun, the Yuanshi Tianzun will respond to the sound and go to save them. Especially in the Daoist rituals of liberating the dead, all invite the Yuanshi Tianzun to bless them. This is due to the Yuanshi Tianzun's vast and long-lasting great vow power, initiating compassion to save all souls who have unfortunately fallen into hell.

Precisely because of this, any method that invites 【Taiyi Savior Yuanshi Tianzun】 can liberate all wandering ghosts and demons.

"Taiyi profound cultivation, method of liberating the dead... this is the orthodox Xuan Sect, who exactly are you?" Gu Yuming shouted.

The method of Taiyi liberating the dead is not something anyone can practice and comprehend, nor is it something that can be practiced by casually checking information online.

To master this method, one must receive secret teachings. The Dharma is not passed to six ears, the work does not fall outside the altar, and one must see the Dharma image of 【Taiyi Savior Yuanshi Tianzun】 and understand the mysteries of the nine-petaled lotus platform to summon it.

"Taiyi method of liberating the dead? This lineage was passed down from Mount Dongyue..."

"The famous Daoist mountains in the world may have dabbled in it, but seeing this method is upright, it is clearly a true inheritance."

"Strange! Liberating ten thousand ghosts... when did such an expert come to Yujing City!?"

At this time, the movement above the old city became larger and larger. Many hidden hermits in Yujing City were alarmed and paid attention to this side, setting off bursts of shock and doubt.

Rumble...

Zhang Fan's soul-aspect sat on the lotus platform. In an instant, the ground was filled with light, shining with immeasurable brilliance. Even though ten thousand ghosts surged like a tidal wave, they didn't dare to approach by half a step. Wails of fear suddenly arose, accompanied by the mysterious low chanting:

Beginning in the green sky, the name of the void, I now ascend the lion seat.

I am the True Person preaching, immortal flowers fill the ground, golden lotuses fall.

The four births and six paths listen to the proclamation, the soul goes to the Compassion Meeting early.

Sanskrit chanting sang. In the ears of ordinary people, it was silent, but in the ears of practitioners, it was magnificent and vast, shaking people's minds. In an instant, the ten thousand ghost figures dancing in the air became illusory, as if they were to be liberated and return to heaven, reincarnating to the Pure Land under this method.

"Taiyi Yuanshi Tianzun descends to the purple court, Nine Nether long night releases light. Thousand sins just recite the Yuanshi Tianzun's name, ten thousand crimes all disappear in one scroll of scripture..."

In the He family manor, the low, slightly magnetic voice sounded faintly, carrying a hint of greed: "Sure enough, it is the Taiyi method of liberating the dead, the nemesis of ghosts in the world..."

"This person obtained the true inheritance, it must be delicious."

The words fell, and He Fei in front of the window raised his eyebrows, but strange brilliance flickered in the depths of his pupils. He looked at the corner and couldn't help but say: "So, the one from the Yin Mountain sect is dead!?"

Soul-aspect duels are extremely dangerous, just like speeding on a motorcycle. They are meat wrapping iron, and if they are not careful, they will die.

"That's not necessarily true..."

Just then, the low, slightly magnetic voice changed the subject and said faintly: "That one probably sees it too..."

"You mean... there are still changes!?" He Fei's gaze narrowed, unable to help but look at the vast sky, where the dark clouds gathered.

Rumble...

Under the night sky, Zhang Fan sat on the nine-colored lotus platform, Three Yin Qi surging around his body, treasure light clearly visible everywhere, so righteous yet evil, appearing extremely weird.

In the distance, Gu Yuming's soul-aspect was uncertain. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and the ten thousand ghost shadows surged, actually gathering in his palm.

"Ten thousand ghosts and ten thousand souls obey my order, from now on transform into a Soul Summoning Mirror!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless ghost shadows seemed to fall into a vortex, actually transforming into an ancient bronze mirror in Gu Yuming's palm, like clouds manifesting, like white bones, and the wails of ten thousand ghosts came from inside the mirror. "Break!"

Gu Yuming shouted, operated the 【Ten Thousand Ghost Refining Form Method】, drove the eerie Soul Summoning Mirror, green light appeared, like a long rainbow breaking through the air, shining toward Zhang Fan's soul-aspect.

Bang...

In an instant, the treasure light around Zhang Fan's soul-aspect shattered, and the nine-colored lotus platform beneath him suddenly dissipated, returning to nothingness.

"Hahaha, your soul-aspect really has a big problem. You carry the orthodox method, but you cannot be round and smooth, your Dao cultivation is low, and you almost fooled me." Gu Yuming sneered.

The true Taiyi method of liberating the dead, once practiced, just by reciting the Yuanshi Tianzun's name, can liberate wandering souls. How could it be like Zhang Fan, summoning the nine-colored lotus platform, with such great momentum, but the ten thousand ghost shadows did not dissipate at all...

Such a paper tiger almost fooled Gu Yuming.

At this moment, he also saw it. This soul-aspect before him had a big problem, as if it only had sporadic instincts, and was not even complete.

"It should be a little guy, just don't know which mountain sect trained him, so ignorant of the height of the sky and the depth of the earth."

"Soul-aspect duels, are they a joke? This little guy is going to suffer."

"Being able to save his life is already the protection of the ancestors!"

In Yujing City, one hermit practitioner after another couldn't help but sigh. No one expected this duel to turn around like this, appearing evenly matched, but actually not on the same level at all.

The reason was none other than Zhang Fan's soul-aspect was too bluffing.

"Let me see what kind of thing you are." Gu Yuming sneered. He waved his hand, drove the Soul Summoning Mirror, and aimed it at Zhang Fan's soul-aspect.

"Marshal Tian Peng Marshal Tian Peng, Nine Origin Baleful Child!"

Just then, a light sound resounded, lingering faintly under the vast night sky. Immediately after, the Three Yin Qi around Zhang Fan's soul-aspect shook violently, rolling like a river and sea, weird like wind and clouds...

"This is..."

Gu Yuming's soul-aspect shook violently, his eyes widened, as if he had captured something, and deep shock surged in his eyes, even more surprised than when he saw the nine-colored lotus platform and the method of liberating the dead.

Gray clouds crossed the sky, Three Yin Qi was eerie, and a gray halo flickered. This is the image of Profound Yin becoming baleful.

Baleful energy is a sign of great ferocity, ruling killing, and is not beneficial to all living things.

Among Daoist arts, those who use arts to become baleful are all fierce and violent paths.

"This is impossible..."

Gu Yuming's expression was cold to the extreme, and he subconsciously shook his head. At this moment, he finally knew why this soul-aspect before him could gather Yin to refine methods and gather Qi from all directions.

"Eighty years ago, the Daoist Great Tribulation, didn't this lineage die out?"

"Daoist Dharma passed down for ten million years, Northern Heaven Mysterious Emperor is number one in killing!"

"This is... the number one killing great method of the Daoist world!"

"Northern Emperor Method!?"

At this moment, a look of deep solemnity finally appeared on Gu Yuming's face.
