Chapter 469: The Big Dipper Seven Stars Sway and Fall, I Have a Spiritual Treasure to Suppress Luck
"I have shown great mercy, letting you go on a path of survival, but you insist on taking the path to death!"
Sima Yan revealed the body of a ghost immortal. The pure Yang qi lingering around his soul suddenly expanded, shrouding him in purple clouds. Although it was still a soul body, his face was vivid, but it was the image of a middle-aged man.
He wore a yellow robe and a jade crown, with nine pure Yang dragon qi winding around him. He didn't look like a ghost at all, but like a god descending from heaven, majestic and sacred.
Nether ghost things are naturally profound Yin, so it is extremely difficult to break through pure Yang and achieve Yang Spirit. Sima Yan was a top-level cultivator who was only one line away from the Primordial Spirit before he died. After his soul fell into the pure Yang realm, he was able to break through the natural boundaries of ghost things and return to pure Yang.
Just in terms of cultivation, this person is definitely one of the top powerhouses in the world today below the Primordial Spirit!
Qian Chen sighed: "Pitiful, pitiful..."
"I think you should pity yourself!" Sima Yan sneered: "I didn't close the dead pass to impact the Primordial Spirit, so all your schemes have become a joke!"
"You shouldn't have thought that among the five Yang Spirits this time, I am the one who is respected! I am here alone, which is enough to contend with two Yang Spirits..."
"That's right, I didn't expect it!" Qian Chen didn't mention that when he used the Louguan Dao's Qi Observation Technique to check the God-Sacrificing Platform, Sima Yan's luck was as conspicuous as a fire in the dark night.
He just sighed: "According to my estimation, you failed to impact the Primordial Spirit, and you have the old wounds left by Ji Kang's 'Guangling Stop', so you shouldn't have been Yang Spirit complete and achieved pure Yang! It is extremely difficult for ghost things to pass the pure Yang barrier, and they are usually achieved when impacting the Primordial Spirit! That's why I deduced that you want to close the dead pass, borrow the ability of the God-Sacrificing Platform, first be pardoned as a god, and while pure Yang is complete, borrow the wishes of all living beings to impact the Primordial Spirit..."
"I said pitiful, because I feel that the current Emperor of the Southern Jin is indeed pitiful!"
"Since he ascended to the throne, not to mention being wise and martial, he has been diligent and conscientious. The national strength of the Southern Jin shouldn't have reached this point. I didn't expect that it was you, this borer, who seized the national luck..."
Qian Chen pointed at Sima Yan's nose and cursed: "There are those in the world who cultivate immortality, who don't take the right path, covet the luck and blessings of descendants, steal the life span of descendants, damage Yin virtue, and call themselves cultivating descendants. I didn't expect that the dignified Wu Di of the Southern Jin is also such an evil disciple."
"Dragon qi is pure Yang. You are the ancestor of the Southern Jin. If you use the temple posthumous title and use unscrupulous means to exhaust the lake and fish, you can seize two to three dragon qi."
"The Jin Ling dragon veins were sealed here by the previous Zhuge Wu Hou. With the help of the Seven Star Lamp array, you can seize another three dragon qi... This is still not enough. You now have nine dragons complete, and you are tied to nine dragon veins. With the body of a ghost thing, you break through pure Yang, which is almost comparable to a corpse-dissolving immortal."
"It's because you also treat the current Emperor as a human stake, borrowing him to seize the national luck dragon qi of the Southern Jin!"
"No wonder the current Emperor is weak and sickly. Even if he works hard to govern, he only ends up with everyone betraying him and the noble families leaving him... Because many noble families have already noticed the loss of their own clan luck and suspected that the Southern Jin national luck, which is closely related to them, has a problem!"
"Nine dragon qi..." Qian Chen sneered: "It's enough to help you break through the Primordial Spirit! But under such squeezing, once your prohibition collapses, once the dragon qi backlashes, piercing the surface calm, natural and man-made disasters will continue, and how many people in the entire Southern Middle Earth will die!"
As Qian Chen said, he used the Qi Observation Technique to observe the Jin Ling dragon veins carried by the Seven Star Lamp.
Only to see a dragon vein qi with purple qi of three thousand zhang, entrenched on the luck spirit cloud of all living beings, but it was exhausted, the dragon head was drooping, and there was no soaring spirit at all. It was originally a national luck in its prime, but it was so weak.
He took a cold breath and said coldly: "Only three hundred years of national luck left!"
"Sima Yan, you are ruthless enough!"
At this time, Sima Yan opened his mouth slowly and said: "So it's a member of the righteous path!"
A flash of essence flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "That hand of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Knife, the Great Destruction Demon Dao, who dares to believe it is from the righteous path?"
Qian Chen didn't say yes or no. Sima Yan's eyes were deep, the bead curtain of the jade belt crown on his head trembled slightly, and he stood with his hands behind his back: "Great Jin is my country. If my Sima family has no Primordial Spirit, do you want me to sit and watch Great Jin fall into the hands of your noble families? Wang Dao, Xie An, have ulterior motives and have become heart-trouble..."
"Borrowing the Great Jin national luck to help me break through the Primordial Spirit, there will naturally be a way to make up for it in the future. When I support it, even if there is a temporary disaster, it is a sign of great prosperity!"
"As for the Emperor..." Sima Yan's expression moved slightly, and his words did not call the Emperor's name directly, treating him as a junior, but respected him as the Emperor: "He sacrificed for my Sima family. When I break through the Primordial Spirit, the secret will be revealed, and he will inevitably die of exhaustion. In this way, I should take care of his descendants."
"The future Emperor will still be produced from his lineage. At that time, under the Nine Springs, he can also laugh at his ancestors and be listed in the temple!"
After Sima Yan sighed, he sneered at Qian Chen: "And you people, who keep saying for the sake of all living beings in the world, aren't you also harboring evil intentions, wanting to replace Jin with Han!"
Qian Chen looked up at the seven stars above his head and sighed: "Zhuge Wu Hou arranged the Seven Star Lamp sacrifice in a dignified manner, using his own life as a sacrifice, gathering the remaining Immortal Han qi, borrowing the Jin Ling dragon veins, wanting to continue the luck of the Immortal Han for a generation. He is worthy of all living beings, bowing and dying, and dying after he is dead..."
"And you, who go against the sky, steal the opportunity of all living beings with the luck of a country, and don't hesitate to sacrifice the Southern Jin national luck just for the continuation of your family and surname, just for one person to achieve the Dao. What face do you have to compare with the Immortal Han Prime Minister?"
Sima Yan roared: "What about Zhuge Wu Hou? All his calculations are just making wedding clothes for us!"
"The person he chose is none other than Liu Yu. My Sima family dares to risk the world's great disapproval and collude with the Demon Sect, just to demonize this Seven Star Lamp sacrifice! As long as Liu Yu is sacrificed, we can borrow the magic method to seize the Immortal Han luck on him and continue the national luck of my Great Jin. Even if I cannot achieve the Primordial Spirit, I can make up for the loss and even help my Great Jin go further..."
While Sima Yan was speaking, he opened his right palm, and seven bright stars suddenly floated from his palm.
The stars repelled and attracted each other, chasing each other, and finally moved and changed positions, condensing into a shape like a dipper handle.
Big Dipper Seven
"Governing life and death, it is the assembly that nourishes things and aids people. All sentient beings, having received the qi of heaven and earth and the command of yin and yang, whether male or female, whether long-lived or short-lived, all emerge from the star-fate of the Big Dipper." — *Supreme Mysterious Spiritual Scripture of the Big Dipper's Original Life and Yu Yu Changsheng*
Those seven stars pointed their dipper handle directly at Qian Chen.
The starlight above his head trembled, and the candle flames atop the seven stone platforms flickered. A vast aura descending from the nine heavens between the nether regions headed straight for the life-star connected to Qian Chen's own life.
The aura dripping down from the Big Dipper was like a divine sword, slicing directly at Qian Chen's life-span and fate.
Sima Yan had delayed for a long time, finally completing this heaven-defying spell. Once the starlight fell, even a master of the Yang Spirit Realm would see their fate perish; their life-span, luck, and fortune would all be seized by these seven points of starlight and transferred into one of the oil lamps.
Thus, if the lamp goes out, the person dies; if the lamp does not go out, they are but a sacrifice!
Sima Yan laughed up at the sky: "I was waiting for the Seven-Star Lamp formation spell to activate, and what were you waiting for?"
…………
Outside the grotto-heaven, in the Central Lands city of Jiankang, the Emperor coughed repeatedly in his study. The eunuch beside him hurried forward, saying: "Your Majesty, please rest earlier! You must take care of your dragon body!"
The Emperor raised his head slightly, his pale face tinged with a sickly crimson. He shook his head slightly and said: "My days are numbered!"
"I only think of the ancestors... *cough cough*! I wonder if they succeeded! This is, after all, a heaven-defying act!"
The Emperor smiled bitterly: "To act so perversely... I am not worthy of a beautiful posthumous title!"
The old eunuch said with a sobbing voice: "Your Majesty, this is not Your Majesty's fault. If not for the Emperor Wu's relentless pressure, what was done was not Your Majesty's true intent..." The Emperor raised his hand, stopping his further words.
He raised his head slightly in the study, gazing at the night sky outside. At this moment, the immeasurable star power in the starry sky suddenly gathered upon the Big Dipper. Seven appeared and two were hidden; the starlight connected into a straight line, linking the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Finally, as the stars shook, a beam of light like a sword fell toward the ground below!
That divine light, carrying the great power to slice away luck, fell toward the nether regions, sinking into Zhong Shan.
The Emperor watched this scene, opened his mouth slightly, and said with a trembling voice: "Just because the first master gave instructions, the stars fell in the autumn wind at Wuzhang Plains! Zhuge Wu Hou sliced away the national luck of Wu and Wei, and re-gathered the remaining qi of the Immortal Han, yet he still had to use his body as a sacrifice, dying at Wuzhang Plains. The ancestor used the Seven-Star Lamp sacrifice to slice away others' luck and seize the remaining qi of the Immortal Han; whether this is a blessing or a curse for the Great Jin, who can say?"
The Emperor was silent for a long time, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Issue my decree: take the imperial estates around Yuquan Mountain and the counties surrounding Jiankang City, choose the most fertile ones, and bestow them upon the Sixteenth Princess!"
"*Cough cough cough! *" No sooner had the Emperor issued the decree than he coughed violently several times. He spread out the sleeve that had covered his mouth; a pool of blood on it was shocking. The Emperor could not stand steadily and was about to collapse; the attendants around him all became panicked.
The old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to support him, shouting: "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"
The Emperor calmly raised his hand and said: "No need! This is the number of heaven; I have sinned against heaven... The number of heaven has changed, and the divine vessel has backlashed. I only pray that my Great Jin and the Sima family can safely survive this tribulation!"
…………
The starlight was distant and desolate; a point of divine light fell toward the fate in the nether regions.
Qian Chen's Qi-Gazing technique saw that point of starlight, like a sharp sword forged by the laws of heaven and earth, slicing straight toward the cloud of luck and spiritual qi above his head. Once sliced away, let alone his luck falling to the bottom of the valley, even the three fires on his head and shoulders—fortune, salary, and life-span—would be seized by a green lamp on the stone platform.
At that time, with life and death in the hands of others, he feared he would not even have the strength to resist.
Facing such a crisis, the corner of Qian Chen's mouth curled into a mysterious arc. He still stood there, letting the starlight fall upon his head, his cloud of luck and spiritual qi being sliced by the sword, shaking violently!
At this moment, the starlight shaken down by the Big Dipper collided straight with the Dao Dust Bead in Qian Chen's primordial spirit!
Sima Yan, standing on the Kaiyang stone platform, saw the green lamp before him suddenly sway, like a candle in the wind, with only a thread of light. His vision went black, and he felt as if he had collided with a great mountain; his own blazing, boiling luck suddenly dissipated by three-tenths, and two strands of the pure yang dragon qi circling him collapsed!
"I was waiting for you to crash into it yourself!" Qian Chen pointed a finger, stabilizing the cloud of luck and spiritual qi above his head.
Sima Yan's face changed drastically, and he wailed: "You have a spirit treasure to suppress your luck!"
