Looking up from below, this cloud doesn't look anything special.
However, in the extremely high sky where there is no convection air, the clouds just float here quietly, without any changes for years and months, as if they were frozen in amber and would never change.
But if you look down from above, above the clouds there is a vast land full of vitality.
It turns out that the clouds here are all cumulus clouds. The cloud used to drag the bottom of the floating island of Fengyang City is obviously separated from here.
But compared to the area here, the floating auction house in Fengyang City is far inferior.
Looking down, the mud, sand and pebbles here are all crystal clear, as if they are the finest jade, clean and flawless.
On the land grow flowers, plants and trees that look like emerald glass. The fruits on the trees are also clear and bright.
In the center of Cloud Island stood a magnificent and exquisite palace. Above the palace, a colorful glow hung in the sky for a long time.
The sun shines down, and everywhere on the island is shining with charming brilliance.
Some rare and exotic animals that have been extinct on the earth for who knows how many years are now lazily playing in this fairyland-like world.
There is no worry about food and drink here, and there are no natural enemies, so these exotic animals are raised to be fat and strong.
If we just capture a few mortals and let them live here.
Breathing the dust-free air here and eating the clean and flawless spiritual fruits and vegetables, over time you will be able to shed the earthly body of grains, be free from all diseases, and live as long as an elixir of life.
Just by living here, one's life span can be comparable to the 500 years of life modified by the golden elixir. Not only that, the pure spiritual fruits here can also improve the spiritual roots of the cultivators, accelerate their practice and improve their physical fitness.
After shedding the mortal body, one can generally achieve the effect of Jiang Li's immortal body.
It is truly a paradise that is envied by everyone in the world.
The only strange thing was that several exquisite spiritual fields were cultivated on a flat land in front of the palace.
Spiritual energy gathers on the spiritual field, and water vapor is thick.
This kind of top-grade spiritual field can at least accelerate the growth rate of spiritual materials by more than ten times, and its annual output is equivalent to that of a large spiritual stone mine.
But what was planted on such a precious spiritual field was not some rare and precious fruit, but large red carrots that were growing happily.
Originally it was just an ordinary mortal species, but after being cultivated for who knows how many generations on this blessed land of Yundao, it has evolved into a spiritual plant of high grade.
Each strand looks like it's carved from chalcedony.
At this time in the spiritual field, a young girl was carrying a bamboo basket and excitedly pulling out radishes one by one.
In the sunlight, it shines with attractive colors.
At this time, a cloud of mist floated from below and merged into the Cloud Island.
Three white figures wearing conical hats appeared on the island, and then hurriedly walked towards a palace in the middle of the Yundao blessed land.
The girl who was pulling radishes in the spiritual field noticed something, then turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared on the spot.
A moment later, in the palace, a beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament sitting on the throne opened her eyes and looked at Yun Wei and Xia Shi who were kneeling in front of her.
It is said that they brought back something very interesting this time.
"Master Yunji, this is the thunderbolt."
In front of outsiders, several powerful monks known as the Envoys Above the Clouds knelt before this woman.
After telling Jiang Li everything that happened during his previous meeting, no matter how big or small, he held the talisman and lowered his head, waiting for instructions.
The woman called Yun Ji raised her hand and the talisman fell into her hands.
The talisman thunder has a simple structure and can be seen through at a glance, but the power from the other world inside it is unexpectedly able to have such a miraculous effect.
"The descendant of the Human Emperor has been born. In this era, he has great merits. The reopened Nine Provinces have become even more interesting."
She closed her eyes again and blew out a cloud of purple air that fell to the earth.
If Jiang Li were here, he would find that the power of merit in Yun Ji suddenly dropped at this moment, and then slowly rose again.
. . . .
In the Dachongshan immortal cultivation world, Jiang Li was not staying at the Chongshan League headquarters at this time, nor did he return to the sect's old place to revisit.
He came to Cihang Temple, one of the three major sects, and had been here for seven days.
In the secret courtyard of Cihang Temple, a giant tree wrapped in yellow cloth is suspended in the air.
Six golden ropes were tied around it, and there was a faint golden light flowing through it. And from within the yellow cloth that was tied up, it sounded like ghosts were crying and gods were howling, and from time to time, all kinds of extremely tragic shouts came out.
As the golden light on the rope flowed, various human faces crashed into the yellow cloth, leaving distorted faces.
Three of the six ropes were held by three great monks of the previous generation of Cihang Temple, while the other three ropes were held by three hundred elders of Cihang Temple.
"Color refers to what the eyes see, such as light, darkness, and substance. It pollutes the eye and is therefore called color dust."
"Sound refers to what the ears hear, such as movement, stillness, beauty, and ugliness. It pollutes the ear, so it is called sound dust."
"Fragrance refers to what the nose smells, such as the smell of fragrance or stench. Because it pollutes the root of the nose, it is called fragrance dust."
"Taste refers to what the tongue tastes, such as saltiness, blandness, sweetness, and spiciness. It stains the root of the tongue, so it is called taste dust."
"Contact refers to what the body senses, such as separation and union, cold and heat, which pollute the body's sense organs, so they are called touch dust."
"Dharma refers to what the mind knows, such as birth and death, good and evil, which pollute the mind-root, so it is called dharma dust."
"The six dusts, six desires, six sense organs, six places, six realms, and six thieves. I will not elaborate on them here. My Buddha's six sense organs are pure. Amitabha!"
They chanted the Six Roots Purification Mantra together, constantly suppressing and rescuing the souls and ghosts in the yellow cloth.
What was wrapped in the yellow cloth was naturally the Nine Nether Tree in the cemetery.
Jiang Li found that when fighting away from home, relying on himself to slowly kill all the minions was too slow.
Later, he changed his mind and realized that he was the leader of Chongshan Alliance, so why did he have to do everything himself?
When he was weak, he had little influence and could not protect himself. Once the treasure in his hands was exposed, it would bring endless troubles.
In ancient times, even a Golden Immortal would not be able to preserve a spiritual root like the Nine Nether Wood, so it was naturally necessary to be extremely careful so that no one could know about it.
But it’s different now. Jiang Li now has strength and power. At least in the Dachongshan immortal cultivation world, no one can pose a fatal threat to him.
Not to mention the three major sects, they are all of the same blood with him.
Even if one of them really intends to attack him, Jiang Li will not be afraid.
Therefore, he could be a little bolder in what he did now. Even if he was discovered, who could investigate him, the leader of Chongshan League?
So he went to Cihang Temple and used their Six Roots Purification Mantra to liberate the souls and ghosts in the body of the Nine Nether Wood.
In order to prevent it from becoming a big problem, we pulled it out and dealt with it in advance.
Under normal circumstances, if other people came to ask for help, Cihang Temple would definitely want to see the true appearance of this ghost tree.
But Jiang Li simply covered him with a yellow cloth and tied him up with a red rope. Even Cihang Temple would not ask about his secret.
He performed the spell honestly through the yellow cloth without any objection.
After seven consecutive days, Jiang Li could feel that the ghosts in the body of the Nine Nether Wood in the cemetery had been mostly eliminated and it was no longer as powerful as before.
Although several of the previous generation of great monks of Cihang Temple are still on the front lines and unable to return, the power of the Six Roots Purification Mantra is far less than when it was at its strongest.
But how could the Nine Netherwood, which was already at the end of its strength, withstand this? The ghosts in its body were exorcised in large numbers, and now there are only a few left.
After the last spell was recited, the last ghost face within the yellow cloth dissipated unwillingly.
The masters sitting on the cushions finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alliance Leader Jiang, I have accomplished my mission."
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
After withdrawing the six pure ropes, Abbot Le Ku, who was standing aside, turned around and informed Jiang Li who was waiting on the side.
With Jiang Li's current reputation, he can even invite the abbot of Cihang Temple.
After all, this man's arm and one eye grew back with the help of his elixir.
"Thank you for your hard work, monks. I feel really bad for asking you to take care of the rituals when your injuries haven't healed yet."
Jiang Li hurriedly thanked them. Most of the monks who were performing the rituals were injured, but they agreed to help at this time, which was giving enough face to him as the leader of the alliance.
"Alliance Master Jiang, you are too polite. It is the duty of monks like us to liberate the souls of the dead."
"Now it is Alliance Leader Jiang who is worrying about it, and it is we who have failed in our duty."
Abbot Liao Ku obviously misunderstood something.
Jiang Li had just resolved the life-and-death crisis in Dachongshan, and he immediately went to deal with the area where the human kingdom was massacred.
In the past, before the establishment of Chongshan League, such matters in the mortal realm were usually thankless and no one was willing to take care of them.
This has led to the formation of ghost areas in various places, and ghosts have appeared everywhere. Many places have been harassed by evil ghosts for many years, and the people are living in misery.
Now that Chongshan League has been established, its first leader Jiang Li has worked hard to govern the country, opening up Manjianghong Inns all over the place and winning over those little demons that ordinary cultivators look down upon, thus fundamentally changing the status quo.
The ghosts that often appeared and caused trouble are gone, and the little demons that were everywhere have also been controlled to a certain extent. It is said that the happiness index of the people in the mortal kingdom has increased sharply.
With the concentration of spiritual energy increasing year by year, the per-acre yield of ordinary grains is very exaggerated. Basically, if you can cultivate a small piece of land, you can feed a whole family without worrying about starving to death.
People's desire to have children has reached an unprecedented high recently.
After all, population is the foundation of everything. After a few hundred years, the effect here will allow Dachongshan to be reborn.
Compared with what Alliance Leader Jiang did, these monks who only knew how to sit in the temple, chant scriptures and build pagodas seemed a bit embarrassed for their inaction.
In fact, some people suspected that Jiang Li collected ghosts in order to refine ghost soldiers. After all, Jiang Li had demonstrated the power of ghost soldiers several times in the past.
But they immediately ruled out this possibility.
Because if they want to train such a large number of ghosts, they still cannot afford it even if they sell the entire Chongshan League.
So it is natural to think that Jiang Li is simply doing it to make Dachongshan develop better.
After some pleasantries that made both the host and the guests happy, Jiang Li finally managed to dissuade the host from thinking that he wanted his disciples to go down the mountain to fight demons and defend the way of Taoism.
Now that you have eliminated all those ghosts, my army of ghosts has been completely wiped out.
After putting the Nine Nether Wood from the cemetery back into the coffin, Jiang Li walked into a room provided for him and raised his hand to tear off the huge yellow cloth.
A pile of turbid stones fell out from the yellow cloth. They were the remains after hundreds of thousands of ghosts were liberated.
This thing could perhaps be made into a magic weapon, so Jiang Li put it away for the time being.
Then Jiang Li looked at the Nine Netherwood tree in the cemetery, and the Guanyin Heart Sutra began to operate. A parallel consciousness was cut out and silently crashed into the giant tree.
He closed his eyes, and he and the other four parallel consciousnesses also went in.
The consciousness space of the Jiuyou Wood in the cemetery is not much different from that of Jiang Li's Jiuyou clone. Now without the ghosts floating in the sky, it has become much more empty and lonely.
In the center of the consciousness space, the inverted giant tree with withered leaves is still floating there.
The level of transformation into a god, the soul has already been transformed into the primordial god.
Feeling that giant tree, although it was like a candle in the wind, its essence was still tough and strong, completely different from ordinary souls.
If you don't use the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, it will not be an easy task to defeat such a soul on the soul battlefield.
Although Jiang Li possesses considerable power in his hands, both he and the statue's clone can fight head-on against the Divine Transformation cultivators without being at a disadvantage, but he is still at the Golden Core level after all.
His own soul has not yet been transformed into a primordial spirit, so it is naturally impossible for him to have a parallel consciousness.
It would be fine if they fought with their real bodies, but in the battlefield of souls, they would naturally be much weaker.
So even when dealing with the severely injured Nine Netherwood in the cemetery, Jiang Li still chose to use the majority to bully the minority.
Two sword heart slashes led the way and instantly ignited the soul battlefield.
The Nine Netherwood in the cemetery suddenly exploded, and its roots and branches began to grow wildly, rushing towards these outsiders like a tsunami.
The weak sword cultivator's clone immediately left the scene, and Jiuyou's clone stepped forward in the middle, also creating a large number of roots and branches to block the way.
It was just that due to their inferior strength and the fact that they were playing away from home, they fell into a disadvantage from the very beginning.
On the left side, a lotus platform was floating in the air, dragging the statue's clone with it. The Buddha and the devil's thousands of hands were attacking forward like raindrops, and large branches and twigs were blasted into pieces.
Every attack of the statue's clone carries the believers' wishes and chaotic will. Even the original spirit will be affected by these chaotic spirits.
The Yaksha clone summoned a raging sea of blood and slapped it forward. This was pure madness from the Asura world.
The terrible evil thoughts corroded and destroyed all the roots, and also eroded the entire space.
This is a battlefield of souls. What is lost is the precious soul power, which cannot be restored by a little spiritual energy.
Jiang Li himself transformed into a black dragon and roared forward majestically.
Behind him, blood shadows of hundreds of beasts and Asura demon statues emerged one after another, wantonly destroying everything in this space.
The Nine Netherwood in the cemetery, which is at the end of its strength, won't last long under this kind of attack.
