Chapter 106 The Abandoned Sage

In an instant, the world was divided into many ponds.

The power of the Southern Abandoned Sage Divine King was bestowed upon Great Mononoke the moment it entered Korea!

The ghost god looked up and saw the image of a giant Celestial Venerable, wearing feather robes, head shrouded in divine light, rolling yellow clouds like the chaotic energy at the beginning of the world, surging until they filled countless desolate worlds!

Those ponds became more and more numerous, accumulating like sand dunes in the desert.

Like grains of sand in a river, floating and sinking with the waves!

The ghost god stopped its actions. It could no longer see the Celestial Venerable. The surrounding ponds had completely surrounded it, and it could no longer see the front!

"There are gods in the heavens, and there are demons in the heavens."

"Above and below the heavens, gods and demons are one."

Ji Xiang's voice came from countless desolate worlds!

The Five Heavens Eight Emperors Great Demon King, in charge of the heart-demon trials of all cultivators under heaven; only with the Demon King's recommendation can one be ranked among the immortals.

The Ten Directions Limitless Flying Divine King, in charge of the immortal qualifications of all cultivators under heaven; after obtaining the Demon King's recommendation, one must also gain the Divine King's favor before truly transforming into a Celestial Immortal!

Each Divine King opens up different heavens and earth, and these heavens and earth transform into Dharma realms. The power of these ten Dharma realms is the "Ten Directions World"!

The Southern Divine King opened up the Abandoned Sage World.

The so-called Abandoned Sage.

"A country thrives by employing the wise and capable, and declines by abandoning the wise and acting selfishly."

"A country prospers by employing virtuous and capable people, and declines by rejecting them and acting arbitrarily. Therefore, rulers should vigorously employ virtuous talents and not act arbitrarily."

"And you, do you count as a sage?"

Ji Xiang spoke softly, his voice passing through rivers and seas, transmitted from countless ponds to the deepest recesses of the ghost god's consciousness.

At this moment, reciting scriptures:

"I念, 汝辈, 愚愚相习来, 不自觉故, 示罪福宿命因缘, 令出离苦恼爱欲河中."

"All beings wander, sinking into the sea of suffering. This world is called the Abandoned Sage Wan Li Heavenly Realm, also known as the Mixed Retribution World."

"Contaminated by the heavens of love and desire, born and fallen within it, temporarily born and temporarily destroyed, temporarily gathered and scattered. Like lightning, in an instant!"

The ghost god's power disintegrated instantly, those ponds turned into streams, and the streams converged into rivers and seas!

An endless sea of suffering!

......

The ghost god felt a great danger. It was the embodiment of disaster, and also forged from the national soul sacrifice, so of course it possessed self-awareness! After discovering that Ji Xiang had a spell specifically targeting it, although it was very willing to "die," as a ghost god, it had a natural, inexplicable sense for spells involving the rules of heaven and earth.

The essence of this Southern World was to exile it. This boundless sea of suffering was not to kill it, but to trap it. And it would constantly strip away its power, eventually returning it to the ghost god's original form.

Ah, what was the ghost god's original form?

The ghost god itself was not clear, but that was definitely not a good state, like an adult regressing in age to become an infant.

This won't do.

It had to be killed by him, and could not be regressed to infancy. If it did not die, Emperor Jinmu's orders could not be completed.

If it did not die, its disaster and the root of its existence could not be transferred to the Celestial Demon in front of it.

This demonic energy was so澎湃!

It made it show a hideous smile at this moment!

This monstrous demonic energy was simply irresistible!

"If there is something most suitable as a vessel for a ghost god."

"Then without a doubt, it is the Celestial Demon that appeared in the sky!"

"Possessing the most ancient and purest 'Heavenly True Demonic Energy', a desire incarnation that existed in the world since before the descent of Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning, from legend. All living beings in the world, as long as they are alive, must have desires, and desires will give rise to disasters, large or small."

"Whether it is revenge, love and hate, money, power... seven emotions and six desires, all things in the world exist within this. Even Emperor Jinmu is no exception. If it were not to create a divine kingdom and fulfill his long-cherished wish, he would never have confined himself to a country overseas and found it difficult to return to China."

"All because of unwillingness, wanting to gain the recognition of heaven and earth, so as to obtain the true realm of the Heavenly Dao."

"When we ghost gods attach to the body of the Celestial Demon, our power will greatly increase, and our control over people's hearts will be more precise... This is truly the most perfect possession vessel I have ever seen in my life..."

"Your body is mine!"

......

The ghost god did not speak, but its voice came from the void, and was accurately transmitted to Ji Xiang's mind.

This was not sound transmission into the secret, but similar to a god's daylight manifestation, communicating with the living beings of the human world. The ghost god would sense a person's soul and establish a connection with it, which is called "yin-yang interaction."

Hearing the other party's arrogant words of seizing the body, Ji Xiang did not have any emotional fluctuations.

This body belongs to you?

This body was originally picked up by me.

I have only ever snatched from others; how could anyone snatch from me today?

"Why don't you go ask around the White Lotus Society's halls? Can you take away something that has come into my hands?"

Ji Xiang drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

衰草盈秋野，山风不绝吹；
君行日已久，不见驾归踪！

The Heavenly Feather Arrow was fired!

This arrow possesses the power to "pierce gods"!

Without the slightest suspense, once the Heavenly Feather Arrow is aimed, unless the archer suddenly dies in the next moment, it is destined to hit! Ji Xiang thought that he could cut off Uesugi Kagekatsu's head in an instant, but the ghost god opposite him obviously had no way to cut off his head in an instant!

No matter what a ghost god is, it always has three souls and seven spirits. If it is hit by the Tian Luer Bow and the Heavenly Feather Arrow, the three souls and seven spirits will turn to ashes!

Of course, although the Heavenly Feather Arrow has a negative effect, but...

At this moment, the ghost god also noticed this arrow!

The hideous look on his face just now suddenly became extremely horrified!

"Heavenly Feather Arrow!"

The god-slaying arrow!

An arrow pierced through its ghost god form! And the arrow was not stained with blood! Because the ghost god's body was transformed from the national soul, there was no real flesh!

According to the method of the Inner Vision Divine Tablet, this arrow inflicted heavy damage on the ghost god, but of course it could not eliminate it, because it had no substance! But in the next moment, the image of the giant Celestial Venerable behind Ji Xiang finally took action!

And the ghost god Great Mononoke also used its power. In an instant, the world was filled with eight hundred thousand calamity ghost gods. They manifested from the void, rose from the corpses of those who died on the battlefield. Endless vows were manipulated, combined with the "great disaster" brought about by this war. The more people who died, the more powerful Great Mononoke and Emperor Jinmu became.

Eight hundred thousand ghost gods surged towards Ji Xiang like a dark cloud!

With the army pressing down, even the power of the immortal path began to decline, not to mention the demonic energy. The Celestial Demon energy that filled the sky was torn and devoured by those ghost gods to strengthen themselves. Without using the Jade Purity Hidden Book, Ji Xiang's demonic energy was the best sacrifice for them.

But!

A divine sword slashed through the air!

Heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, were cut in two with one strike!

Great 量!

With an ultimate power strike, the bodies of the ghost gods were all cut open. Even if it could not kill them, the huge storm that was stirred up was enough to crush their forms!

"Ghost gods are immortal and indestructible!"

The god Great Mononoke did not care about the collapse of the ghost god army, because they would regroup in the next moment!

But Ji Xiang sneered!

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the world! The god Great Mononoke saw dozens of giant gods suddenly rising from the ground in the direction of Ulsan. Amidst the rolling sea of thunder, above the roaring sounds like mountains collapsing and ground cracking, the leading giant god was none other than "Takemikazuchi"!

"Gods? Then let's see if the ghost gods of your country are stronger, or the celestial gods of your country are stronger! Let's see who is better, celestial gods or ghost gods!"

The gods roared and charged towards the ghost god army, crushing and trampling them underfoot!

"What, Takemikazuchi...!"

The ghost god Great Mononoke was also startled. As a ghost god refined by Xu Fu, it naturally knew about the death of Tachibana Muneshige, but it did not expect that the lost Takemikazuchi was actually in Ji Xiang's hands, and even obeyed Ji Xiang's commands!

What kind of spell is this!

But it did not have time to continue thinking.

Because in the next moment, the giant image of the Celestial Worthy Who Opens the Yellow Path of Heaven had stretched out its vast hand and grabbed towards it!

The aura of ten thousand calamities, at the moment it touched this Celestial Worthy, actually collapsed in all directions!

......

At this moment, Xu Fu, who was connected to the god Great Mononoke, sensed what was happening and cursed loudly, disregarding Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was by his side!

"Not good!"

"This is... the elimination of calamity, receiving the power of heaven! Turning calamity into merit, opening the door to ascending to the sky on illusory steps!"

Upright and unyielding, commanding wind and thunder, all filth, sinking ten thousand feet into the ground!

Eliminating sins and past transgressions, gathering blessings and celebrations in the future.

"Celestial Worthy Who Opens the Yellow Path of Heaven!"
