Upon hearing this, Daoist Changfeng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you mean to kill Jingyi?"
King Yama shook his head: "Killing Jingyi is not enough; we must destroy the Dragon Clan's resurrection formation. The resurrection formation is an ancient secret technique of the Dragon Clan, prepared for large-scale battles. When soldiers die, it can summon their souls back to continue the fight."
The activation conditions for this formation are extremely demanding. It requires gathering the spiritual energy of the entire Penglai Immortal Island, essentially sacrificing the island and the Heavenly Palace. Once activated, the formation cannot be stopped, and when it is destroyed, the entire Heavenly Palace and the Immortal Island will also be reduced to ruins.
That is why the Dragon Clan had never activated this formation before. But Jingyi defied the heavens, activating the formation to satisfy his own selfish desires, intending to plunge both the Yin and Yang realms into chaos. The current priority is to stop him from restoring peace to the Underworld.
Daoist Changfeng asked urgently, "Then how do we destroy the resurrection formation?"
The King of Hell explained with a deep gaze: "In ancient times, the Goddess Houtu had a divine bow called Yingyue. That divine bow possessed supreme divine power. If you obtain it and use it to fight against the resurrection formation, the formation can be broken."
He looked at Chu Yu and asked, "Jingyi took you to Penglai Immortal Island. He should have helped you regain your memories of your past life, right?"
Chu Yu nodded.
When she met Yama before, he called her an old friend. At the time, she was puzzled as she had never met Yama before. Why did he call her that? When her memories of her past life returned, she remembered that Yama was not only Wei Xun's friend, but also Ning An's friend.
The King of Hell mistook her for Ning An.
King Yama said solemnly, "Your past life, Ning An, was a direct disciple of the Goddess Houtu. You should also know about the Divine Bow of Yingyue. The Divine Bow recognizes its master, and besides the Goddess Houtu, only Ning An can use it."
Chu Yu understood: "Then I will go to the temple of the Goddess Houtu to retrieve the divine bow."
King Yama nodded: "Let your master go with you, and your eldest and second eldest brothers stay behind to fight the enemy with me."
"good."
After discussing it, Daoist Changfeng hurriedly left with Chu Yu.
Not long after, the two arrived at the Houtu Temple in the Netherworld.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Houtu Niangniang awoke from her slumber. In order to build and maintain the underworld, she exhausted her divine power and eventually disappeared.
After Houtu Niangniang passed away, some of her disciples left the temple to take up posts in various parts of the underworld. The temple was then left empty and sealed away, and no one has set foot in it for nearly ten thousand years.
Chu Yu and Daoist Changfeng arrived at the entrance of the temple. Looking at the magnificent temple, Chu Yu was reminded of her past life, and a wave of emotion washed over her.
I never imagined that so many years would have passed before I stepped into the temple again.
Following her memories from her previous life, Chu Yu unlocked the seal on the temple gate, pushed it open, and was about to enter when Daoist Changfeng suddenly spoke up: "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."
"good."
Chu Yu walked into the main hall alone.
The magnificent temple was empty and quiet, with a statue of the goddess Houtu in front of the main hall.
The statues are beautiful and solemn, lifelike, and inspire awe.
Chu Yu knelt before the statue of the goddess and kowtowed to her: "Goddess Houtu, the underworld is in chaos. Jingyi used the resurrection formation to revive the heavenly soldiers and generals, allowing them to invade the underworld..."
She explained the current situation in detail to the statue.
The statue still retains a portion of Houtu Niangniang's divine power. She is praying for Houtu Niangniang to appear and restore her power from her previous life so that she can break the seal on the divine bow and use it to break the formation.
After the prayer, the statue suddenly flashed with light and came to life.
Houtu Niangniang looked at Chu Yu and sighed softly, "After so many years, we, master and disciple, have finally met again, Ning'an."
The moment the name Ning An was uttered, a surge of divine power suddenly flowed into Chu Yu's body. Her body shone with golden light, and when she opened her eyes again, she was no longer Chu Yu, but Ning An from her previous life.
Ning An wore a pink dress, her long hair cascading down her back, adorned with a pink lotus hairpin. She was fresh, graceful, and breathtakingly beautiful.
She looked at Houtu Niangniang and her eyes immediately filled with tears: "Master, your disciple has finally seen you again."
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect the Houtu Temple and the Underworld as promised. I also broke off the engagement with the Dragon Clan, ruining the alliance between the Underworld and the Dragon Clan."
Seeing her crying and apologizing, Houtu Niangniang looked at her with pity: "Ning'an, this is not your fault. You have done enough for the underworld. These years have not been easy for you either. Now that the underworld is in chaos, I have restored your divine power. Go to the lotus pond and take out the Yingyue Divine Bow. Use it to destroy the dragon clan's resurrection formation."
"yes!"
After giving her a few earnest words of advice, the Goddess Houtu handed her a talisman and waved her off, saying, "Go ahead, don't worry about it."
After she finished speaking, the divine power around her dissipated, and she transformed back into a divine statue.
Ning An bowed three times to her, then got up and left, going to the lotus pond in the backyard.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond have long since withered, and the surroundings are empty and silent.
Lotus Pond was Ning An's favorite place to stay, and it was also where she and Wei Xun first met.
The Divine Bow of the Moon was sealed in the lotus pond.
She made a hand seal and chanted an incantation. A golden light flashed in the lotus pond, and a golden divine bow flew out.
Ning An raised her hand, and the divine bow flew into her hand.
After obtaining the divine bow, her eyes lit up with joy. She hurriedly left the temple with the bow and said to the Taoist Changfeng guarding the outside, "Master, I have obtained the divine bow. Let's go to Penglai Immortal Island now."
Daoist Changfeng looked at her, recognizing her as Ning An, and nodded: "Alright!"
The two left the Netherworld and headed to Penglai Immortal Island.
...
The Heavenly Palace on Penglai Immortal Island.
The Azure Dragon and the golden dragon that Jingyi had transformed into fought fiercely. Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky, and a storm raged. The Heavenly Palace, which had been restored by illusion magic, was destroyed by the shockwaves from the two dragons' battle and turned into ruins.
The heavenly soldiers in the Heavenly Palace have already hidden themselves.
After Changfeng Daoist and Ning An arrived at the Heavenly Palace, Ning An looked at the Azure Dragon in the sky with deep affection in his eyes.
She knew everything Wei Xun had done for her over the years, and she also knew the depth of Wei Xun's affection for her.
Over the years, she had fallen in love with him.
After missing each other for so many years and so many lifetimes, in this life, they finally became husband and wife and were together.
This time, she would not allow Jingyi, that vicious person, to destroy the happiness they had worked so hard for.
She raised her hand and threw out the talisman given to her by the Goddess Houtu. The resurrection formation was hidden by Jingyi, making it difficult for others to find. This talisman could guide her to find the formation.
Guided by the talisman, she and Daoist Changfeng flew towards the depths of the Heavenly Palace.
Before long, the two arrived at a demon-suppressing tower.
Ning An recognized it as the Demon-Suppressing Tower where Jing Yi had imprisoned her years ago. She never expected that he would place the resurrection formation in this tower.
Ning An felt a surge of anger as she recalled the humiliating time she was imprisoned.
"That damned Jingyi, he's so vicious!"
She flew over, blasted open the pagoda's door with a single palm strike, and rushed inside.
