Chapter 769: The Inter-World Heavenly Ghost Captures the Multitude, the Zhu Jiuyin Earth Dragon Swallows Seeing Yan Shu

"In that case, those people from Penglai were likely driven there on purpose by the mountain spirits!"

The old Daoist stood on high, observing the grand layout of the feng shui. Once his Dharma Eye for observing Qi was opened, he saw streaks of auspicious Qi rising into the sky.

The back of this Jin Ao was practically a divine mountain and immortal land. Every hundred li there was a dragon vein, and every ten li there was a grand layout. Feng shui formations like the one where the Profound Heaven Sect was buried in the Yuan Magnetic Earth Cave earlier would only occupy a thousand li of feng shui here.

"Mountains have mountain dragons, and waters have water dragons, but the dragons of mountains and waters must have roots!"

"Our Earth Immortal Realm has a profound origin, and the roots of the earth veins are naturally incomparably vast. However, this burial land is merely located on the back of the Jin Ao. While it occupies a treasure land where the myriad realms return to the ruins, gathering all the vitality born from the great destruction, it can only influence the Heavenly Star feng shui!"

The old Daoist was very puzzled; the Heavenly Star veins here were incomparably thick.

Yet the earth's crust was only on the turtle shell, incomparably thin. Wuyou Wuyou Naihe could it possibly support such a thick earth vein feng shui layout?

"The roots of the ten thousand mountains are fixed on the back shell of the Jin Ao, and the source of the dragon veins indeed originates from the three places of the East, South, and West..."

Seeing Xiao Yu also picked up his compass. This compass was crafted from the goldware he had just dug out from the Ten Thousand Gods Cave. Although it was entangled with the curses of the old heaven and was quite ominous, the three of them were already covered in old debts, so they didn't care about this little bit.

As long as there were enough creditors, they would naturally check and balance each other.

The old Daoist also nodded slightly: "The Wood Qi of the East rises into the sky, transforming into a Green Dragon! And there is an even more ethereal immortal aura!"

"If my guess is correct, it should be the layout of the Immortal Islands beyond the heavens. This place has a grand Five Elements pattern, but outside the Five Elements pattern, there are three immortal islands suppressing the three corners, devouring and purifying the vitality within the ruins to transform it into spiritual energy. Then, the mountain terrain rises and falls, and the dragon veins meander to drink water, nourishing this unparalleled grand feng shui layout!"

"No wonder the back shell of the Jin Ao can form such mountain roots!"

Seeing Xiao Yu also nodded slightly. The big fellow beside him began to tighten and assemble the tile-shaped shovel head. Seeing Xiao Yu hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't prepare the Luoyang shovel yet! There are still secrets here; we don't necessarily have to go underground..."

The old Daoist took out that dirty yellow cloth, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to take out various strange and peculiar feng shui tools one by one.

Iron Bagua, wooden holy cups, bamboo slips, copper coins, yarrow stalks...

"Even if it is the layout of the three islands swallowing the sea, it cannot support this thick earth vein situation. If the mountain dragon doesn't work, then there is a problem with the water dragon."

"I'm afraid there is an underground river running through the entire burial land here, and the spiritual energy here is so abundant, yet it lacks a grand layout to nurture life; instead, it is full of burial grounds and grave soil everywhere. This Yin River definitely has a big problem!"

The old Daoist ordered the big fellow to use the Luoyang shovel to drill into the ground and take soil samples within a radius of ten li. He took soil samples from a depth of a hundred zhang, located between Yin and Yang, in the ten-li area, and then pinched a small tuft of each soil sample, rubbing them into a mud pill.

Then he took out a rusty copper scale.

On the bronze scale pan, a Bagua Taiji was engraved. The scale beam was pitch black, made from the Yin-sinking wood of the coffin in the tomb of the Heavenly Zhou Luohou. On it were two weights, one gold and one silver, both cast from the Taiyin Silver Soul and Taiyang Gold Essence obtained this time.

The old Daoist placed the mud pill on the small scale, silently circulating the Yin-Yang Qi mechanism in his heart.

The grand feng shui of the outside world, the small Yin-Yang of the human body, and the Qi field of the copper scale in his hand were like a compass, slowly rotating and aligning.

"Water!"

Seeing Xiao Yu took out a jade bowl containing the purified water previously taken from that Yin Spring.

The old Daoist held it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and tasted it carefully. Seeing Xiao Yu and the big fellow could only wait quietly.

Tasting soil and water is the most basic lesson for a feng shui master.

But to see the grand feng shui layout of ten thousand li from one soil sample, and to taste the source from one water sample, only someone as deeply immersed as the old Daoist could do it. Among the three of them, only the old Daoist had this ability.

"Pah!"

The old Daoist turned his head and spat out the Yin Spring water, wiped his mouth, and said: "It tastes like dragon urine! No wonder so many Night Yang Fish gathered in that Yin Spring. It should undoubtedly be a Huang Long that drilled out! The soil quality here is extremely heavy. Although this is the reason why the burial soil here is extraordinary, its Qi is too terrifying! I have never seen such a soil where a magnificent dragon vein, grand Yin Qi, and evil strangeness are fused so naturally."

"This is neither auspicious soil nor ominous soil, but immortal soil!"

"As for the water source of the Yin Spring..."

The old Daoist hesitated.

Seeing Xiao Yu's heart tightened. Usually, when the old Daoist hesitated, besides the situation being complicated and difficult to decide, it also contained a great ominousness!

"Sigh! I tasted three parts of the bitterness of the Yellow Springs, three parts of the gloom of the Forgotten River, and three parts of the vastness of the Ruins Sea. The last part... is the smell of blood!"

The old Daoist shook his head bitterly: "The ominousness is beyond words!"

"Let's go quickly! I'm afraid that road below is even harder to walk than the real Huang Quan. Although the top is ominous, the East, South, West, and North are all ominous, and the center is even more ominous within ominousness, but roads are walked by people. Haven't we broken through all kinds of dead ends before?"

The old Daoist put everything into his backpack and called the two of them to leave, but just as he took a step, he felt a slight vibration coming from the soles of his feet.

The three of them looked at each other, and their hearts cried out: "It can't be, right?"

From the small mountain where the Yin Spring was located ahead, a long, lingering cry suddenly came.

Accompanied by increasingly violent vibrations, the Yin Spring gushed wildly, and a water column shot into the sky. The escape light of the Penglai true transmission suddenly rushed out from the spring water, which was indeed incomparably swift. As soon as it came out, it turned into wind and thunder filling the sky, wanting to escape.

But following closely behind, a creature that looked like a flood dragon, but had no horns or scales, and was instead fleshy all over, also rushed out. The position where its eyes should have been was entirely occupied by a large mouth full of sharp teeth. The giant head opened wide towards the sky, like the mouth of a deep well.

It opened its mouth to swallow, and an invisible suction force enveloped a radius of several hundred li, directly shaking people's souls, almost wanting to leave their bodies.

The wind and thunder escape light was wrapped by the rolling yellow Qi in the giant's mouth and could no longer break free.

Accompanied by a roar from the giant head, Seeing Xiao Yu and the other two were shaken until their bodies cracked, spitting blood, their faces like gold paper.

"Is this thing a dragon?"

Seeing Xiao Yu looked at this eyeless, scaleless beast with seven layers of sharp teeth rotating in its mouth and a large mouth that almost occupied its entire head, and he admired the "Eyeless Huang Long" and "Zhu Jiuyin Earth Dragon" drawn in the ancient books to the extreme.

What kind of abstract painting style is this?

Apart from being a bit long, where does this thing look like a dragon?

Ancient book—you just say whether it has eyes or not!

Seeing Xiao Yu hurriedly wiped the blood from his chest, while trying his best to hide his aura so that the Zhu Jiuyin Earth Dragon wouldn't discover them.

This thing had no vision, but its perception of vibration was extremely keen.

It had already swallowed the Penglai true transmission into its mouth. With the seven layers of sharp teeth rotating and grinding, the sound of bones breaking and the screams of souls being torn apart made Seeing Xiao Yu and the other two's scalps tingle!

"Don't be afraid!"

The old Daoist signaled with his eyes: "As long as we don't make a sound, it won't be able to feel us!"

Seeing Xiao Yu took out a piece of dust-free incense, and the subtle fragrance wrapped around the three of them, covering their aura.

That layer of fragrance even absorbed the sounds they made and the reflections of their spiritual sense sweeping over. But just at this moment, a pale little hand suddenly reached out from the old Daoist's backpack, pinching a golden weight.

Seeing Xiao Yu and the other two's eyes bulged, only to see that hand mischievously release the weight.

The small golden weight fell to the ground silently. This tiniest fluctuation, which was completely undetectable, made the three of them terrified out of their wits.

The Zhu Jiuyin Earth Dragon, the Eyeless Huang Long's huge head turned instantly, locking onto the location of the three of them...

"Run!"

Seeing Xiao Yu roared, the dust-free incense in his hand burned rapidly, and a large amount of fragrance wrapped around the three of them. Then, hundreds of shadows carrying their aura separated from that incense and flew away in all directions.

Seeing Xiao Yu and the others' true bodies were mixed among them. Just as they were about to light the Flying Cloud Incense to escape, they saw a stone statue flash and appear in front of them.

That mountain spirit stone statue had a green face and fangs, but its body was incomparably agile, shuttling through the void, entering and exiting without interval, easily capturing the three of them.

"Damn! I misjudged..."

The old Daoist cursed angrily: "This thing is not a mountain spirit, it's a Heavenly Ghost!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's face changed drastically. No matter how ferocious a mountain spirit was, if you couldn't beat it, you could run away and still have a chance of survival! But things like Heavenly Ghosts entered and exited the void as if returning home. Also known as the Inter-World Heavenly Ghost, it could enter the void at will and was known as the nemesis of all cultivators' movement techniques. Once targeted by a Heavenly Ghost, there was almost no possibility of getting rid of it.

The Demon Path's Nine-Child-Mother Heavenly Ghost Escape Technique, which claimed to be a top-tier escape technique comparable to the Daoist Sect's Thunder Escape, Light Escape, Rainbow Transformation, and the Fomen's Heart Escape, was nothing more than refining Heavenly Ghosts and relying on their innate abilities.

The difficulty of this thing can be seen.

Just at this time, another mountain spirit stone statue grabbed a person and flashed in front of Seeing Xiao Yu and the others. Then, three mountain spirit stone statues worked together to shift the void, transferring a team of surprised Buddhist cultivators to this space.

Heavenly Ghosts kept appearing. In the eyes of Seeing Xiao Yu and the others, whose scalps were tingling, they captured many living creatures within a radius of ten thousand li. Nine hundred Heavenly Ghosts worked together to launch a grand formation, grabbing countless cultivators and demon beasts.

Finally, ninety-nine Heavenly Ghosts forcibly pulled out a small mountain. On it, a Buddhist high monk's Buddha light covered the mountain, like Mount Sumeru, thick and unbreakable.

But it was pulled up together with the mountain roots by the Heavenly Ghosts and forcibly shifted here.

Wang Longxiang stood at the mountain peak, the flying sword in his sleeve like a dragon. A flash of sword light passed, seemingly severing a heavenly ghost, but that heavenly ghost drilled out from another part of the void in the blink of an eye. The formation set up by the ninety-nine heavenly ghosts working in unison was incomparably profound; any one of the heavenly ghosts could enter and exit the void a hundred times faster than the sword light, making it almost impossible to injure them.

At this moment, Seeing Xiao Yu almost groaned!

"A thousand Heavenly Ghosts working together to set up a formation, completely sealing this void. I'm afraid even a Nascent Soul True Immortal couldn't escape. We can only find a way to forcibly break this void!"

"Who on earth has such a big hand, setting up thousands of Heavenly Ghosts here just to catch this Eyeless Huang Long?"

The old Daoist was also almost desperate: "A thousand Heavenly Ghosts! Even if people in the Demon Path are cruel and cause public anger, they can only refine Nine-Child-Mother Heavenly Ghosts. Nine Nine-Child-Mother Heavenly Ghosts are only eighty-one Heavenly Ghosts, and they can set up the legendary Nine-Nine Ghost Shadow Secret Demon Formation of the Demon Path!"

"It claims to be able to escape and break all formations and seals!"

"Wuyou Wuyou Naihe many Heavenly Ghosts are there here? What is the grand formation they set up called? The Thousand-Thousand Ghost Shadow Secret Demon Formation?"

The Heavenly Ghosts sealed the void, trapping the Eyeless Huang Long in it, or rather, their main target was the Eyeless Huang Long. The cultivators who were involved were just feed for the Huang Long.

Seeing Xiao Yu sniffed and smelled a faint scent of Master Chunyang Qi on these demon beasts and cultivators.

It was only because he was proficient in the way of incense that he could smell the quality of the vitality on everyone.

At this moment, Seeing Xiao Yu finally couldn't help but turn hostile and curse: "Those Night Yang Fish are indeed a trap! This thing is located under the nine earths, in an environment that is incomparably Yin and turbid, so its favorite food is something full of Master Chunyang Qi!"

"So their urine can attract Night Yang Fish. No wonder there are so many strange flowers and herbs of Yang attribute nearby. They are all feed planted by these Heavenly Ghosts to feed the Huang Long!"

"Once they eat those Master Chunyang heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it is the Eyeless Huang Long's favorite delicacy!"

The cultivators captured by the Heavenly Ghosts were speechless. When it came to the enthusiasm for finding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, who could surpass these locusts? Not to mention that heavenly materials and earthly treasures of Master Chunyang attribute were almost a panacea in the cultivation world, with extremely wide uses. Even swallowing them raw was of great benefit to cultivation.

Everyone had only landed for half a day, and everyone had picked Master Chunyang spiritual medicine. Those who were impatient had even swallowed it on the spot.

The Blood Sea Fu Fu Lao Mo cursed: "Which son-of-a-bitch came up with such a vicious idea, making even Demon Grandpa fall for it!"

He felt wronged! He was refining the Flying Sky Yaksha well, just slaughtering a nest of Huo Yang Rats to supplement the Yaksha's Yang Qi, and then throwing in some Master Chunyang spiritual medicine to refine the gods and demons. But who could have thought that this good spiritual medicine was bait? And, there were no tricks in the spiritual medicine; it all relied on the Heavenly Ghosts forcibly grabbing people!

He was an old demon of many years; what kind of big waves hadn't he seen—this was truly something he hadn't seen before!

Seeing Yan Shu rode the green ox, Ning Qingchen held the Taiyin Divine Knife, and the green ox drove the Heavenly Ghost, also flashing to the side of this space.

The green ox muttered: "I said this Heavenly Ghost came suspiciously. Sure enough, someone is fishing!"

"Let's go! Don't look anymore. If we look any longer, we won't be able to leave!"

This was because Seeing Yan Shu and the other two also encountered Heavenly Ghosts grabbing people. Originally, they hadn't taken any Master Chunyang spiritual grass here, but Ning Qingchen was holding Feng Shi in her arms. There weren't many existences in the world more Master Chunyang than Feng Shi.

Immediately, nine child Heavenly Ghosts drilled out, working together to shift them away.

Fortunately, the green ox made a move, interrupting those Heavenly Ghosts, but the green ox was curious, so it took the two of them riding a Heavenly Ghost and broke in.

Seeing Yan Shu saw that almost all the fellow Daoists along the way had been caught here, and even his own junior brothers and sisters were no exception. Wuyou Wuyou Naihe could he withdraw? The green snake in his sleeve came out of the cave, sword Qi crisscrossed, thunder sounds rolled, and he slashed twelve swords towards the void.

It was the peerless sword technique among the Shaoqing true transmissions—"Occasionally flying the divine sword due to gambling, destroying the first peak of Zhongnan."

But the Heavenly Ghosts in this space were dense, truly reaching a terrifying degree.

Immediately, a hundred Heavenly Ghosts shifted the void at will, making the twelve sword Qi thunder sounds crisscross and chaotic. The sword Qi was split into pieces, all falling onto the Eyeless Huang Long.

The fierce and ferocious sword Qi fell on the Huang Long's skin, like sliding on skin with some kind of mucus, forcibly sliding the sword Qi off. Even the sharpest point of sword intent in Seeing Yan Shu's heart only barely scratched a wound the width of a little finger.

For the Eyeless Huang Long, which was a thousand zhang long just by sticking out its upper body, this didn't even count as a skin wound.

The old Daoist's face was ashen: "No wonder they had to mobilize thousands of Heavenly Ghosts. It turns out this Earth Dragon has really cultivated an indestructible body of gods and demons, and even gone a step further, cultivating an existence that is indestructible through ten thousand tribulations!"

"The records of the predecessors are indeed ridiculously wrong..."

Seeing Xiao Yu also muttered: "It's true that Nine Nether Ghosts would come to catch this thing, but as bait? What kind of fish can there be in the world worthy of such fierce bait?"

"Fishing for Kun?"

"With an Earth Dragon of this level, if an ordinary Kun came, I'm afraid it would be one bite each!"

The old Daoist resigned himself to fate. This thing was no longer something they could deal with by thinking of ways, so it was better to resign to fate.

…………

On the Wuyou Naihe Bridge, an old man leaning on a blood-colored fishing rod said angrily.

"Hehe... Why is it that what you fish for is a fish, and what I fish for doesn't count? What Asura hung it on the fishhook! Can't a Great Asura be bait? This time I'll get a fierce Earth Dragon, dug from your territory. Let's see if you count it as bait!"

…………

Seeing Yan Shu looked at those people he couldn't leave alone, and could only look back at Ning Ning Shimei Ning, smiling bitterly: "It seems we still have to take a trip underground!"

Ning Qingchen smiled: "If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, you can't hide from it! It's all Qian Shixiong's fault. The diary he wrote must have problems. I feel its strangeness can already interfere with our fate! What we read will sooner or later appear in front of us."

"Remember to bring the fishing rod!"

Seeing Yan Shu ordered, only to see the Ear Dao God beside him had already drawn a fishing rod for himself, and even wore a straw hat and a coir raincoat, looking like an old hand at it.

"Fortunately, I borrowed this magic treasure from Qian Shidi Xiang!"

Seeing Yan Shu muttered a sentence, the sleeve of his Daoist robe opened, and he waved towards the thousand li of mountains and rivers below.

Hearing him laugh loudly: "Watch me... Universe in the Sleeve!"

The flowing cloud flying sleeve turned into a huge bellows that encompassed heaven and earth, boundless...

Between heaven and earth, is it like a bellows? Empty but not exhausted, moving and more comes out... Under one sleeve, countless people, beasts, and creatures all fell into Seeing Yan Shu's flowing cloud flying sleeve, and even Ning Qingchen behind him was no exception. The green ox muttered a sentence and also turned into a green Qi and drilled into it.

The Buddha light behind Zhu Tanmo shone brightly, covering everyone and helping Seeing Yan Shu.

The two worked together to scoop up all living creatures and hide them in Seeing Yan Shu's sleeve.

The Eyeless Huang Long, having suddenly lost all its food, was furious. A roar shook heaven and earth. The saliva sprayed from its mouth fell to the ground, immediately corroding downwards, leaving deep pits on this immortal soil.

It agitated its body, huge and bloated. A body gathered from rings of flesh carried an unparalleled momentum, opening its mouth to swallow Seeing Yan Shu.

At that moment, Huang Quan sand gushed out, covering several hundred zhang around Seeing Yan Shu. A terrifying swallowing force was a thousand times more terrifying than Seeing Yan Shu's Universe in the Sleeve.

Instantly, it swallowed him!

Then the huge Eyeless Huang Long actually shook its head and tail, turning into a small snake, an earthworm, and finally became invisible, directly sinking into the ground.

This Earth Dragon, which had experienced ten thousand tribulations and had an indestructible body, displayed its innate supernatural power. Even if a thousand Heavenly Ghosts set up a formation, it could only count as a large net.

For Seeing Yan Shu and the others, the void that had no flaws was just a fishing net with dense holes after the Eyeless Huang Long touched the ground.

It twisted its body and drilled through the net holes, drilling towards the depths of the ground. Those Heavenly Ghosts sealed the void layer by layer, like a net mouth constantly tightening. The net holes chasing behind also became denser, driving it towards one direction.

"This time it's really nesting!"

When Seeing Yan Shu finally fell into that giant mouth, he found that all his supernatural powers and sword techniques were useless at this moment. He smiled helplessly and fell into the darkness.

In the belly of the Eyeless Huang Long, the wisdom beads together with the Shangqing immortal light, immortal and demon combined, turned into a light curtain protecting him and the flowing cloud flying sleeve.

He let the terrifying body fluid of the Eyeless Huang Long erode!

Even the supreme body-protecting supernatural powers of the immortal and demon were being slowly eroded. Seeing Yan Shu gradually emptied his mind. At this moment, facing life and death, he finally completely forgot the "Demon Path"!

Forget the shocking wisdom of swallowing essence and blood, seizing the Dao foundation, and even refining it into an innate god and demon in the belly of the Huang Long!

He only immersed himself in the choice when facing a desperate situation, abandoning all "thinking".

Only making decisions based on his innate sword heart... ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
