#294 - The Taoist priest has a magic method
Wang Daochang's idea was actually very simple.
Soul Possession.
The dragon-python's alien soul would rush down, relying on its own demonic energy to suppress the wronged souls, directly searching for the pillar blade beast's soul. Once found, he would try to use the Soul Capture Great Art, or think of other ways to pull the pillar blade beast's soul out and suppress it with the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
In the current situation, the power of Buddhism is not enough, and demonic methods would cause even greater disasters;
The Demon Suppressing Pagoda can only try to suppress the pillar blade beast's own soul, and it is powerless against the massive number of wronged souls;
It seems that he can only try to use the Dragon-Python Alien Soul Technique to try for a small miracle.
However, Wang Jixuan was not impulsive.
Compared to his single-minded way of thinking back then, he now has a pretty good habit.
Find teammates.
"Wei," Wang Jixuan used the battle puppet to transmit his voice to Number Five above, "Do you have a solution?"
"Yes, I've already given up on chanting spells."
Number Five replied with a mental voice:
"It hasn't sensed my existence yet, I used a circuit to conceal myself.
"I'm trying to sense its dormant circuit... The dormant circuit is shielded by a force, which should be the power generated by the blade beasts sacrificing themselves. I don't have a way to remove this force for the time being.
"However, I can prevent the circuits in its body that were affected by the previous explosion from returning to normal. Do you need me to do this?"
"For example? Which circuit?"
"The gravity circuit, which is the guarantee that it can move on the surface of the planet."
Number Five said simply:
"Doing this can trap it here for a while longer, but after the blade beast tide rushes over, we must retreat. At most, it can only delay it for a few hours."
Wang Jixuan quickly gave a suggestion: "Before its gravity circuit is about to recover, or when we have to retreat, destroy its gravity circuit again. Delay it for as many hours as possible."
"Okay."
Number Five stared at the bottom and asked proactively:
"Why not attack it continuously? With the kind of metal spears that fell from the sky just now? This kind of explosion has an impact on it, consuming about six percent of its spiritual energy."
"This thing is bought with resources, it's already good enough to launch one wave."
Wang Jixuan transmitted his voice:
"Besides that, is there anything else you can do?"
"I'm still thinking," Number Five stared at the giant beast below, "The giant beasts I personally solved before were all when I was at my peak, using spiritual energy to launch the strongest offensive, directly tearing apart the giant beast's body... I can't do that now."
"Understood, then focus on monitoring its circuits. If there is any solution, tell me at any time."
Wang Jixuan looked down, and the battle puppet began to summon Mudan.
Soon, Mudan appeared near the battle puppet in a multi-rotor aircraft. The battle puppet flew over on its sword, and in front of a group of commanders, under the gaze of various forces, it calmly sat on the top of the aircraft.
It was as if there was a strong magnet under his butt, making him very stable in the strong wind.
Alien soul, emerge!
A black dragon formed from smoke drilled out of the battle puppet's forehead. After observing the giant beast below, it plunged down without much hesitation.
The pillar blade beast sensed the danger again, and blood-colored ripples bloomed from all parts of its back, and layers of mental shock spread in all directions.
Wang Jixuan's alien soul suddenly accelerated!
It directly withstood several layers of mental shock and smashed into the huge wound on the pillar blade beast's back that had not yet healed.
Fu Jian, who was waiting for the super-large mecha to self-repair, frowned upon seeing this.
He couldn't understand what Wang Jixuan was doing;
But he always felt that it was very dangerous.
The pillar blade beast continued to 'explode fireworks' all around its body;
The aerial battle outside became more and more intense, with the blade beasts and humans attacking and defending, neither side giving in.
Fu Jian closed his eyes and concentrated, taking a deep breath.
After a while.
A powerful light suddenly appeared around the pillar blade beast, the spiritual energy was fluctuating violently, and black-gray auras surged outward from the blade beast's body. Fu Jian seemed to hear countless humans crying.
He vigilantly controlled the super-large mecha, preparing all weapons.
Those black-gray auras were constantly gathering, forming a gray cloud, suspended above the pillar blade beast, close to the dorsal spines.
The gray cloud was initially only the size of a pond, gradually increasing to a small lake, and then covering most of the pillar blade beast's body.
The small team of Buddhist monks chanting scriptures above suddenly slowed down the speed of purifying wronged souls. They each opened their eyes and looked down at the gray cloud, feeling a strong threat.
Zheng Shiduo, the weakest, had goosebumps all over his body.
Fu Jian thought for a while, advanced the original plan by more than ten minutes, and mobilized the aerial bombing force to drop bombs on the damaged area of the pillar blade beast's shell.
The explosion had no effect on this gray cloud.
The pillar blade beast seemed to have entered a dream, its spiritual energy protecting its body, and its powerful vitality constantly restoring its body, with a calm and composed demeanor that allowed humans to bombard it without worry.
What happened inside its body?
Where did these gray clouds come from? This is different from the black clouds stimulated by spiritual energy before.
Fu Jian looked at the indexes scanned by the radar, and glanced at the multi-rotor aircraft piloted by Mudan cruising in the air.
The Commander-in-Chief doesn't like the unknown;
But today, he is willing to let Wang Jixuan try more.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
The black shell's half-body image popped out beside him, and he reported urgently:
"The spiritual energy user I'm watching is starting to move! The target is the area where the pillar blade beast is located, three hundred and fifty kilometers away from here, and they will arrive in half an hour!
"Do you want to shoot down their aircraft? I only detected a few S-level spiritual energy reactions, and it is not ruled out that there are hidden S and SS levels!"
"No need," Fu Jian said coldly, "Spiritual energy users can't withstand our firepower. If they come to help the blade beasts at this time, then just blow them up together."
"Yes!"
The black shell cursed:
"This group of trash, obviously wants to get some credit, pretending that they also contributed!"
"It doesn't matter, if they are willing to cooperate in the attack, then we naturally welcome them, this is the power of the human camp."
Fu Jian hung up the communication and continued to observe the entire battle situation.
The space fortress has already begun to brew the second wave of 'spear' offensives.
Their plan is to keep this pillar blade beast here for three days.
In these three days, if they can find a suitable opportunity, Fu Jian will definitely take action at all costs to kill this pillar blade beast.
According to scientific calculations, they don't have this opportunity.
But now, they still have an unscientific existence.
Fu Jian turned his head to look at Wang Jixuan's main body. At this moment, the latter was sitting quietly with a faint smile on his lips, seeming very comfortable, and temporarily showed no abnormalities.
… …
A few minutes ago.
Wang Jixuan controlled his alien soul and instantly felt his scalp tingle when he crashed into the pillar blade beast's body below.
He felt like he had fallen into the underworld and drilled into the eighteenth level of hell.
What he saw in front of him was not the green flesh of the blade beast, but a dense mass of gray human heads, expressing negative emotions such as fear and anger.
This kind of setting filled with human heads was endless at a glance.
The actual number of wronged souls and the density of distribution far exceeded Wang Jixuan's previous expectations.
In all likelihood, it is not just the humans or human creatures personally killed by this pillar blade beast whose souls will be absorbed into this place. The humans swallowed by the blade beast tide may also have their souls end up here.
Could this be the truth of the pillar blade beast's 'mining'?
Wang Jixuan's alien soul wandered back and forth above these human heads.
He didn't dare to rush down rashly.
His spiritual sense probed downwards, but was also blocked by this 'sea of human heads'. The area that his spiritual sense could see was gray and misty, and he couldn't get any effective information.
Wang Jixuan was actually a little surprised.
He originally thought that he would enter the flesh and blood body of this giant beast, and then look for the pillar blade beast's own soul;
But his alien soul directly entered an area similar to an illusion.
A suction force that was relatively weak for his alien soul guided the alien soul to fall towards the 'sea of human heads' below.
Wang Jixuan hesitated slightly and still gave up the rather crazy idea of merging into it to try.
Can the alien soul devour the wronged souls here?
Wang Jixuan looked at the human heads below. Although he was tempted to try, his Dao heart was indeed a little resistant.
After all, he is not a great demonic cultivator.
It is estimated that even if the demonic cultivators of their cultivation world came over, they would not be 'delighted', but would scold 'What a wicked beast'.
So, what the hell is the pillar blade beast?
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense spread out in this illusion of wronged souls, constantly searching, and soon discovered a gap in the sea of human heads.
This is a square well with colorful lights floating above it, which is quite conspicuous in this gray illusion.
The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense probed downwards, and this time he finally saw what was below the sea of human heads.
That is… …
Blue sky, white clouds, lakes, mountains and forests.
Huh?
Wang Jixuan was obviously stunned.
A bigger illusion?
He didn't dare to let the alien soul jump down from the square well rashly, but only used his spiritual sense to investigate inward. Soon, he felt an unspeakable sense of nausea.
Below is a complete small world, or rather, a small world composed of human souls.
What is seen from this square well is only a corner of that small world. Spiritual sense can vaguely see that there are huge cities standing in the distance.
The blue sky of the small world is the sea of human heads.
Looking outward from inside the small world, it seems to see a starry sky;
Looking inward from outside the small world, what you see is countless wronged souls who died unjustly.
This is the illusion constructed with the power of human souls.
Why is there such a ghost thing?
Is the pillar blade beast's soul hidden in the illusionary small world below?
Wang Jixuan was completely unaware of this.
‘I should retreat first and ask Number Five; she might know something. This could involve secrets of spiritual cultivators.’
Just as Daoist Priest was about to control the alien soul to fly upwards, intending to leave this sea of wronged souls, his spiritual sense suddenly captured a scene.
A dozen young men and women in military uniforms were flying in from the outside sky, falling towards the ocean of heads with their eyes closed.
Were these humans who had just died in battle, their souls absorbed by the pillar blade beast?
Wang Jixuan didn't hesitate and immediately took action.
The Flood Dragon alien soul spread its wings and rushed directly in front of these young men and women, steadily holding them up.
Warriors should not suffer such torment.
Letting their souls dissipate naturally is a thousand times better than letting them fall into this sea of wronged souls.
Wang Jixuan's alien soul turned its head to look around.
He couldn't see the edge of this sea, but he could faintly see specks of light falling.
Relying on his alien soul alone, he couldn't actually save too many.
But Daoist Priest looked at the souls of these warriors, at the starlight falling everywhere, and at the miserable appearance of each soul in the sea of wronged souls.
A nameless fire arose;
His Dao heart was slightly angered.
“Forget it, this humble Daoist really can't bear to see this.”
Wang Jixuan's alien soul gently flapped its wings, sending these dozen warrior souls flying upwards. Subsequently, the alien soul transformed into a human-shaped outline, sitting cross-legged above the sea of wronged souls.
He chanted scriptures softly, and a golden halo bloomed from the back of the alien soul.
The pitch-black alien soul and the golden halo—the scene was somewhat ironic.
Wang Jixuan tested the effect of using Buddhist scriptures here and quickly hid the golden halo.
The effect was not much different from chanting Buddhist scriptures outside.
This also shows that this place is only separated from the outside world by a layer of the blade beast's skin, without corresponding restrictive power to lock the wronged souls here.
Daoist Priest pondered slightly and began to try the Daoist gate's Scripture of Salvation, the Demonic Dao's Coffin Reincarnation Curse. After trying seven or eight methods, the efficiency of purifying the wronged souls still couldn't increase.
Daoist Priest couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.
For the first time, he felt powerless because the enemy's 'size' was too large.
At this moment, the time remaining from when Fu Jian and the others saw the pillar blade beast's strange phenomena—strong light, gray cloud lake, etc.—was actually less than three minutes.
Where is the wonderful method to solve this predicament?
Where is the wonderful sound to calm the wronged souls?
Cultivating the Dao is cultivating oneself, a cultivator seeks peace of mind, but those constantly falling stars made him feel unbearable and his Dao heart uneasy.
This situation is so similar to the eighteenth level of hell… Hmm?
Eighteenth level of hell?
A large door suddenly flashed through Wang Jixuan's mind.
The door was strikingly written with three large characters… Ghost Gate Pass.
In the cultivation world, there was once a righteous sect called 'Judge Hall.' A unique cultivation method was passed down within it. It was not Yin cultivation but took the path of extreme Yang. It was said that becoming an immortal through this path could lead to being a judge candidate in the underworld.
Of course, the judge candidate was most likely a rumor.
Judge Hall was later destroyed in the era of rampant Demonic Dao due to an attack by demonic cultivators. Because of the special nature of the sect's techniques, various spells were also related to souls, so they were secretly collected by various major sects.
As one of the top sects, Wangxian Valley had many Judge Hall classics left behind, many of which were originals. Only elders above the Nascent Soul Realm could borrow and observe them.
Wang Jixuan had read them.
At that time, he only felt that learning them was useless and roughly remembered some of them.
Among the Judge Hall's techniques, there was a technique that was not a direct lineage inheritance of the sect leader, called 'Three Thousand Reincarnation Paths.' Although the name was domineering, the technique was incomplete, and the effect was only to guide wronged souls to seek the invisible underworld in the cultivation world, which was very useless.
Among them were three visualization diagrams, corresponding to Ghost Gate Pass, Yama Palace, and Reincarnation Disk, respectively.
Ghost Gate Pass, Ghost Gate Pass…
The power here to attract and restrain wronged souls is not considered strong…
‘Let's treat a dead horse as if it were a living one.’
While Wang Jixuan was pondering the Reincarnation Path technique, he kept thinking and quickly found the trick.
Wang Jixuan's alien soul suddenly grew larger, instantly transforming into the appearance of a large door, with gray shadows flickering on it and a vortex appearing in the center.
Five bell rings were heard, and a shallow shockwave slowly rippled in the sea of wronged souls, but the affected area was not too wide.
“Why don't you all find liberation here?”
Rumble.
The wall of wronged souls below suddenly experienced a small-scale collapse. Heads slowly floated upwards, just like a wall of building blocks slowly being squeezed and broken. Human bodies appeared under the heads, floating towards the black aura-surrounded Ghost Gate Pass above.
Wang Jixuan: …
Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
It's actually really effective!
