Chapter 498: The First Batch of Enshrinements

Whether the Peerless Dao Domain Under Heaven was truly peerless, Little Wei Yuan did not know, because the name of this wonder was just like that, determined by the Tinghai Xianjun who refined Qingming.

After the Peerless Dao Domain Under Heaven was activated, all Qi-luck and Feng Shui within the domain from then on would be beneficial to humans and unfavorable to non-humans, and the speed of transforming heaven and earth would be accelerated.

The second function was that if Qingming's power was consumed, it could clear all kinds of curse techniques and Dao arts cast by enemies within the domain, including natural disaster Dao arts.

And the Qingming power consumed when driving away curse techniques, according to this immortal's statement, as long as what the other party cast was not an immortal technique, because Qingming was in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it would at most only need to consume one-fourth of the other party's curse technique.

If the curse technique was not cast by the Imperial View, then the consumption would drop sharply to one-tenth of the enemy's magic power.

The third was that when clearing the enemy's curse technique, considering many factors such as the heaven and earth luck and Feng Shui at that time, and the Qi-luck state of both parties' spellcasters, the power of the Dao Domain could randomly add strikes to the enemy's spellcaster, and the strike method was similar to curse killing.

Little Wei Yuan understood the new wonder and was both surprised and happy.

The Peerless Dao Domain Under Heaven, the tone of this name was extremely large, but the function was also truly powerful. After activating this wonder, if one said that Qingming was the number one Domain Stone under heaven, there was finally a one or two percent possibility.

At this moment, Qingming was constantly trembling, the entire domain heaven and earth were changing, and a mysterious feeling filled heaven and earth.

The color of the blood clouds in the sky was significantly lighter, and the curse-killing power of the falling blood rain was also reduced by at least 30%. The red leaves drifting in the air were much fewer, only two or three out of ten of the original.

This was just the effect of the automatic activation of the Peerless Dao Domain Under Heaven, which had already made the Shaman tribe's curse killing greatly reduced. Little Wei Yuan tried to drive the power of the Dao Domain, and a bell sound immediately rang in his ears, instantly spreading throughout the entire domain.

In Qingming, it was as if an invisible gang wind had blown, all the red leaves were swept away, and the blood clouds in the sky were blown to pieces. At this moment, Little Wei Yuan's mind was connected with Qingming, faintly feeling a guy full of hostility in a distant place.

Little Wei Yuan immediately followed the technique recorded in the Divine Mystery, mixing the chaotic resentment, evil thoughts, and bad luck generated by dispelling the Shaman magic together, attaching them to the Divine Thunder, and then struck that fellow with a single bolt of thunder!

900 *li* away, Hongye's face was pale, saying: "My Shaman method was broken!"

The Holy Shaman was taken aback and said: "Withered World? Isn't that your innate Shaman method? Even we Holy Shamans are difficult to resolve, and can only resist hard. What kind of person can break your innate Shaman method? Could it be that the human race has an Tinghai Xianjun secretly taking action?"

Hongye's face was uncertain, frowning and saying: "That feeling is very strange, like an immortal, but not completely, seeming like and unlike... what kind of person!"

A shadow suddenly appeared in the void above him, and then a green-tinged yellow, foul-smelling Yin Thunder struck down.

This thunder came without any warning, arriving as soon as the thought moved. Hongye was caught off guard and was hit directly, then his brain was dizzy, his stomach was churning, and an indescribable foul smell occurred from the inside, making him kneel on the ground instantly, violently spraying out all the food he had eaten in the past few days!

The Holy Shaman next to him was dumbfounded and said: "This, this thunder..."

The power of this thunder itself was not great, but the true intent added to it was fatal. It was the sum of everything that all sentient beings with spirits and emotions hated, such as foul smell, rot, decay, stickiness, disease, etc.

Whatever a living being hated most, they could find it here, and it was found in the mouth and stomach, and even in the spiritual sense of the primordial spirit, so isolating the spiritual sense was useless here.

With Hongye's cultivation, he had to spray on the spot without preparation.

In the Azure Void, Little Wei Yuan drove the power of his Dao Domain and struck with a bolt of thunder, only to find the power unexpectedly weak. However, after being imbued with the chaotic true intent, it made that hostile fellow much clearer in his perception. This feeling was like being in the vast, pitch-black night; where there was originally only a faint candle flame in the distance, it had now turned into a huge torch.

Little Wei Yuan immediately understood the function of this Dao art. This was a mark. It could make those who cast curse techniques on Qingming have nowhere to hide.

Actually, there was no need for a mark. According to the direction and distance of the hostile person, Little Wei Yuan concluded that it must be Hongye.

But now activating the power of the Dao Domain, Little Wei Yuan's perception became very strange. He felt that there seemed to be no distance between himself and Hongye, and any Dao art could directly lock and land on Hongye. The vast heaven and earth of hundreds of *li* between the two seemed to be illusory and non-existent.

Little Wei Yuan's heart moved, and he suddenly discovered that the Red Lotus Honglian Puti was already entangled with black Qi, as if wrapped in thick smoke, and its tree body and branches had become blood red, so red that it seemed to be dripping blood. This was the level where the karmic debt was already too heavy to bear, even a strange treasure before the Buddha like the Red Lotus Honglian Puti could not digest it.

Little Wei Yuan suddenly remembered the Red Lotus Salvation True Mantra passed down by the Luo Han that day, but there was no occasion to use it before. At this moment, it was a flash of inspiration, and he remembered this true mantra again.

Little Wei Yuan immediately connected with the Red Lotus Honglian Puti with his spiritual sense, induced its overflowing karmic debt, and then began to chant the Red Lotus Salvation True Mantra: "... The world says all dharmas, should be viewed like this..."

In the blink of an eye, the true mantra was chanted, Little Wei Yuan made a flower-pinching finger, pointed remotely toward Hongye, and the true mantra was completed. The karmic debt of the Red Lotus Honglian Puti disappeared by more than half instantly, and the enchanting blood light on the tree body also dimmed.

Hongye in the Dao Domain was like being hit on the head, his aura dropped sharply, and then disappeared like a bubble, leaving only a vast Dao Domain, nothing else.

A flash of lightning suddenly crossed Little Wei Yuan's heart, and he blurted out: "This is the Dao method of cause and effect!"

It turned out that the vast heaven and earth in the Dao Domain were indeed illusory, and what existed was only cause and effect. And that Yin thunder was a Dao method to mark the other party and strengthen cause and effect, and subsequent powerful Dao methods could be added. It was truly an immortal's means!

Little Wei Yuan was suddenly annoyed in his heart. If he had known this earlier, he might as well have given Hongye a "Twilight of the Immortal Road," sending this old guy to a natural death.

However, the Red Lotus Salvation True Mantra didn't seem to be a good thing either.

Since the great war, at least 100,000 Shaman tribesmen had died directly or indirectly at Little Wei Yuan's hands, and more than 100,000 civilians had died in battle due to Little Wei Yuan's orders, as well as various unclear causes and effects. The karmic debt was so thick that even the Honglian Puti before the Buddha could not bear it. As a result, Little Wei Yuan used a salvation true mantra and sent away half of the karmic debt directly.

From this, it can be seen that just looking at the means, that Luo Han of Great Wisdom and Supreme Salvation was probably also a black-handed one back then.

Little Wei Yuan didn't have time to think deeply. Taking the opportunity of giving Hongye a heavy blow, he immediately led the army straight forward, drove the routed soldiers in front of him out of Qingming, and then suddenly turned left, killing toward the flank of the Shaman army's central legion.

At this time, bursts of desolate horns resounded through the battlefield, and the Shaman army retreated like a tide.

Seeing the Shaman tribe retreat a short distance, Little Wei Yuan reacted, it turned out that this battle had already been won.

At this time, on the altar in the center of the lake, Hongye's eyes were bleeding, thick black Qi hovered in his glabella and did not disperse, and a decaying and declining aura permeated from the inside out of his body, looking as if he had aged several hundred years. He only felt that his whole body was sticky, as if he hadn't bathed for several days.

He suddenly wiped at his nostrils, actually wiping a handful of blood!

It's just that this blood was dark purple, foul-smelling.

Looking one by one...

Hongye reached out and grabbed the Holy Shaman and said hoarsely: "Quick! Take me to the Great Altar, you come to preside over the purification sacrifice! Damn human race, they polluted my cultivation foundation with karmic debt!"

The Holy Shaman was surprised and asked: "How did they do it? I didn't notice it at all just now."

Hongye gritted his teeth and said: "It's the Dao technique of cause and effect! They have immortals!"

The Holy Shaman became serious, picked up Hongye and flew to the distance. Before leaving, he ordered a You Wu: "Retreat first, we will come back in seven days."

Once Hongye left, the Shaman army immediately acted on its own, retreating in chaos. Little Wei Yuan pursued with all his strength and captured tens of thousands of heads, but he only pursued 30 *li* out of the domain and stopped pursuing, returning to Qingming with his troops.

A great battle thus came to an end.

But Little Wei Yuan knew that this was just the first battle. The Shaman tribe clearly still occupied the battlefield advantage, I don't know why they suddenly withdrew their troops. Maybe it was because he gave Hongye a Red Lotus Salvation True Mantra?

There was another possibility, that the Shaman tribe's military momentum was not as indestructible as it looked. They used secret techniques to suppress the soldiers' fear and desire to survive, maybe the cost behind it was high and could not be maintained for long.

Little Wei Yuan immediately pulled out the hidden elites, guarded the edge of the domain, and then let the waiting civilians move out to clean up the battlefield.

Roughly estimated, nearly 150,000 people died in Qingming in this battle, 90% of whom were civilians. The 20,000 Dragon Wing and Long Xiang troops were well preserved and did not participate in the battle throughout. The 150,000 standing troops suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and their strength was basically preserved.

The 80,000 civilians who generously went to death died 20,000 in battle, and the rest still had to go to the battlefield in batches. When the newly recruited refugees were reorganized, they would need to be taken to the battlefield.

Each of the 80,000 people had a metal plate hanging around their neck, with their name and brief identity information engraved on it. This was also learned from Xu Wenwu's information. In this way, after someone died in battle, even if their face was destroyed, their identity information could be known.

Unexpectedly, when distributing the small steel plates, Little Wei Yuan actually harvested a lot of Qi-luck. It is thought that no one had ever cared about these mortals. In the eyes of the superiors of the Nine Kingdoms, a mortal would die if they died. It was not worth wasting time to know their names, and it was not even worth burying or burning. There were special corpse pits, just throw them in.

The Shaman tribe left behind at least 350,000 corpses, and hundreds of thousands were injured. The vast majority of the Shaman tribe died from shelling and missiles, and even gunshot wounds were a minority.

But people couldn't cheer, almost everyone had people they knew who died in battle. Everyone was working nervously, and only being busy could make them slightly forget the grief.

At this time, the bottom floor of the Lingxiao Spirit Hall had just been capped, and someone had placed rows of shelves inside. Desks at the entrance of the hall were lined up, and Cai Shizhi's students sat behind the desks. They took a nameplate and wrote the information on the spirit tablet. Then someone sent the spirit tablets one by one to the shelves to be enshrined.

A boy who was clearly not yet an adult held several spirit tablets and came to the empty wooden shelf, placing the spirit tablets one by one, chanting softly while placing them, his voice still carrying a childish tone echoing in the corner of the hall:

"... Hu Laosan, Liao Yong... Fei, no, it's Pei, Pei Yi..."
