Chapter 26 She Says: Do You Dare?

The Taiyin Sacred Fire, previously collected by the Fire Lord, reappeared in her palm.

Her face, filled with light and devoid of features, was unreadable, but her voice had gained a sharp edge:

"Azure Heavens, Great Fuli Earth? You dare mock me!"

The Great Fuli Earth was the legendary place where the gods received souls. The Daoists called it Tai Xu or Great Fuli, and the Buddhists called it the Pure Land. They all referred to the same place.

When people received their position in the afterlife, they took it from the Great Fuli. However, the scenery of the Great Fuli was all imagined during the reception. These imagined things did not exist in reality. They were neither tangible nor intangible, but more like the aggregation of the desires of all living beings.

In the Yellow Turban sect, the "method of rebirth" touted by the old Fire God Qian Guang earlier was to use wishes to re-evolve the three souls and sprout the seven spirits. Wishes were elusive. People could feel their existence, but they did not know whether they were tangible or intangible. The Yellow Turbans claimed that wishes belonged to "roundness," which was a large circle. This concept came from the Daoist Danyang Patriarch's explanation of the Dao of "creating something from nothing."

The Yellow Turbans believed that in this way, no matter how many times they died, even if their souls were scattered, they could be resurrected.

It could be said that in this era, the great powers who knew the art of gods and ghosts, especially those who involved the Dao of life and death, basically had some skill.

They were all about, "Don't be afraid of dying, get up and revive," and "Everyone is a skilled death seeker, help me up and let's keep feeding the enemy."

After all, what was the point of cultivation if it wasn't for longevity?

The Western barbarians told you that when people died, they went to heaven, while the cultivators of the Central Plains told you, "Die? What are you talking about? Isn't it good to be alive?"

Even Buddhism was assimilated in the Central Plains, telling you that you should work hard in this life, not to enjoy yourself after death, but to live a better life in the next life.

In the end, the core of cultivation in the Central Plains was these two words: "Living."

At this moment.

The Fire Lord was already angry. Ji Xiang's words just now were clearly mocking her.

"Are you saying that you are a god descended from heaven to punish me? How ridiculous! I am seeking blessings for all living beings, so what crime have I committed?"

"I admit that this thing of yours surprised me a little, but don't think that just because you swallowed incense and can't die, you can mock me at will. The difference in strength between you and me is too great. If I want to kill you again, it's just a matter of raising my hand!"

The Fire Lord raised the Taiyin Sacred Fire with her bright left hand:

"This time, I will make your soul fly away and your spirits scatter."

At this time, the Fire Lord's strength was rapidly declining, from the original half-earth immortal to the Three Flowers Gathering on the Crown of her true form.

Falling from the ninth realm to the seventh realm, this was the Fire Lord's true strength.

Ji Xiang looked at the ball of flame, and the Inner Vision God Tablet gave a description and strategy again:

[Taiyin Calamity Fire (Remnant): All things sprout, focused on Taiyin; Calamity Fire burns, the Great Thousand is destroyed.]

[There is fire energy in the human body. The Taiyin Calamity Fire guides the fire energy. After running for a quarter of an hour, it will cause the fire energy to burn when angry, without harming the body, but scorching the soul. All the anger that is burned will be thrown into the Taiyin Calamity Fire, increasing the power of the Calamity Fire;]

[After the Taiyin Calamity Fire is restored from the remnant to the complete flame, it can reverse the Qi of heaven and earth, making the earth poor in Yin, and the sky extremely Yang. At this time, all living beings in heaven and earth will be entangled by the Calamity Fire,]

[Once the Taiyin Calamity Fire burns, it will not be extinguished until the target becomes ashes (can be restrained).]

[The Yellow Bell is the foundation of all things, and the Taiyin is the Qi of all things sprouting. The sound of beating the morning bell (or copper bell) can suppress the Taiyin Calamity Fire; or prevent the Calamity Fire from running in the body for more than a quarter of an hour.]

The Fire Lord called this fire the Sacred Fire, but the strategy Ji Xiang obtained clearly stated that this was a kind of Calamity Fire! It could burn all living beings in the world, causing the Great Thousand phenomena to be destroyed.

"No wonder the Fire Lord wanted to enter the Forbidden City at night. The Taiyin Calamity Fire cannot hear the sound of the morning bell. The Forbidden City will ring the morning bell at the fifth watch, which means that after the fifth watch, the Fire Lord will not be able to do anything."

"So she needs to be fully prepared, rather than sneaking in casually."

After reading the strategy, Ji Xiang also understood why the Fire Lord had to come in at night. It was not only because the Heavenly Soldiers outside could not enter during the curfew, and the outside did not know the internal situation of the Forbidden City, but more importantly, the Taiyin Calamity Fire could not hear the sound of the morning bell.

Watching the Fire Lord offer the Taiyin Sacred Fire to completely burn him to death, Ji Xiang smiled and took out the golden mallet and the Three Purities Bell.

The Three Purities Bell was also known as the "Emperor Bell" in the Daoist sect.

But this thing was, after all, a bell, so Ji Xiang estimated in his heart that with the strength of his Three Purities Bell, it should only be able to withstand one strike from the golden mallet, making a sound, and then it would be immediately damaged, or even turn into fragments.

Because the golden mallet was a national treasure, its power was something that the Three Purities Bell, a magic weapon, could not withstand.

Therefore, this battle was a "final decision with one hammer."

"Fire Lord... no, Lingxiao Woman!"

Ji Xiang raised the golden mallet and held it against the Three Purities Bell, revealing a smile again:

"Have you ever heard the sound of the morning bell in the Forbidden City during the fourth watch of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I will strike this Emperor Bell once, do you dare to answer?!"

It was already the fourth watch!

The Fire Lord had abandoned those so-called mercies. The anger caused by Ji Xiang's threat was completely undisguised. The flames on her body soared higher and higher, as if reflecting her mood at this time:

"The morning bell is on the Beian Gate. You dare to call a small copper bell in your hand a morning bell?"

"The seventy-six copper bells of the Underworld couldn't stop me, so you think this Three Purities Bell in your hand can?"

Ji Xiang smiled, his face full of dirt, but his white teeth were very bright in the dim half of the sky:

"The Underworld's Dharma bell and the Three Purities Bell are still different. You'll know if you try it. If you take one step, I'll ring this Three Purities Bell!"

The two confronted each other, separated by two worlds of water and fire.

But the Fire Lord suddenly laughed. Although she had no facial features, one could hear from her voice that she was laughing very happily, very wantonly. Her graceful and full body twisted in the flames and light, extremely alluring.

"Okay, I'll assume that your little copper bell can work, but it's only for one or two times? In short, you can't ring it many times. If you think you can use that little copper bell to stop me, then you can try it."

The Fire Lord made her move. She held the Taiyin Sacred Fire and walked towards Ji Xiang, taking a hundred steps in one step. Ji Xiang also rang the copper bell in an instant!

The first layer of Yuan Qi, the golden mallet struck the copper bell, and a shocking sound resounded throughout the Forbidden City. The Taiyin Sacred Fire was suddenly shaken and disappeared, but the Fire Lord's hand had already covered his face!

The Three Purities Bell was grabbed by the Fire Lord and shattered!

"Let's see what other tricks you have!"

The Fire Lord raised her hand, and Ji Xiang released another layer of Yuan Qi, offering the golden mallet for the fourth time. Ji Xiang suddenly became much weaker, but the Fire Lord still resisted this blow with her seventh-realm cultivation.

But Ji Xiang smiled, revealing his teeth, which meant good things were coming.

*Dong!*

Ji Xiang raised his hand and exchanged a punch with the Fire Lord! The Fire Lord felt that her body had become sluggish. At this time, she realized that something was wrong, and she circulated her whole body's magic power, only to find that one of the three flowers on her head was missing!

"Forgot to remind you..."

Ji Xiang's voice rang in the Fire Lord's ears!

"The golden mallet hits a person three times, and it will knock off one realm!"

"Now you are only in the sixth realm, the Divine Power Realm!"

Killing the sixth realm with the fourth realm, the advantage is on my side!

Ji Xiang finally offered his trump card, and finally caught this opportunity!

Then, Ji Xiang pointed at the Fire Lord's chest, which had been turned into an airport by a hammer:

"What do you see stuck on your chest?"

The Fire Lord lowered her head, and a yellow talisman was stuck on her chest at some point. This yellow talisman was overflowing with Yuan Qi!

In the dark wind and rain, Ji Xiang held the seal with one hand, circulated his magic power, and the Great Mighty Divine Mantra burst out in an instant, illuminating his whole body.

My heart is bright, upright in all directions!

"I predicted that I might fight you, so I specially wrote this talisman, the Great Mighty Divine Mantra, have you heard of it?"

Big sister, would you like to try this talisman?

The Great Mighty Divine Mantra, a new product from the hands of the Five Emperors of Taiwei, this stuff is very powerful!

The Fire Lord could no longer hear Ji Xiang's words.

In her perception at this time, heaven and earth were collapsing, and her body, flesh, position, Yuan Qi, were all being torn apart.
