The thunderous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The monks of Lingxuan Temple in the distance were planning not to fight these evil spirits, but to simply cross over them and proceed to the Bridge of Helplessness.
"Who? They attacked directly?"
Everyone rushed toward the commotion, just in time to find those evil spirits running around crying and screaming.
Another fierce battle ensued, and for a moment, it was unclear who had caused the commotion.
On the other side.
Li Ming charged straight toward the Bridge of Helplessness, showing no mercy and killing with great relish, even though the strength of the evil spirits would increase as he ventured deeper into the Yellow Springs Road.
However, the attacks of these evil spirits had almost no effect on him. The eerie and cold ghostly energy attacks had no effect on him at all and were all absorbed by the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
Although he could not gain life power by killing these evil spirits.
However, he discovered that the Reincarnation Purple Lotus would absorb the energy from these evil spirits and then feed it back to him, causing his cultivation level to rise rapidly.
In no time, he had already killed dozens of powerful evil spirits, and his cultivation was about to break through to the fourth level of the Divine Power Realm.
"Awesome!"
By a twist of fate, Li Ming unexpectedly discovered such a wonderful thing.
They immediately started fighting.
...
Before long, Li Ming arrived at the banks of the Wangchuan River, where there was a wooden bridge about 3 meters wide and of unknown length.
"Have we reached the Bridge of Helplessness?"
Li Ming felt a sense of loss upon realizing that his cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Divine Power realm.
With the help of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, and with his Primordial Chaos True Qi capable of destroying all laws, his blood and qi were like a furnace, making it as easy as killing chickens to kill these evil spirits.
At this moment, those fierce and malevolent ghosts dared not approach and would detour around Li Ming whenever they saw him.
People are afraid of ghosts, but little do they know... ghosts are also afraid of people.
"There seems to be some kind of restriction on this river, preventing me from flying across."
Li Ming silently observed the wooden bridge and came to this conclusion.
The people from Lingxuan Temple had previously told him about the mechanisms of the secret realm, but they also warned him that these mechanisms were probably no longer effective and that he should deal with things carefully based on the actual situation.
Don't blindly trust the "guides" of those who came before you.
Just as Li Ming was taking a short rest, the people from Lingxuan Temple arrived. Seeing Li Ming standing by the bridge, they exclaimed with delight:
"Li... Benefactor, you have also arrived."
These monks all knew Li Ming's current identity, and for a moment they didn't know how to address him.
However, they still had great faith in Li Ming's abilities.
Looking at the monks' expressions, Li Ming calmly said:
"Don't worry about those titles, just use normal names."
The six people gathered together, excluding the already deceased Xiao Xuan, were all those who had entered the Lingxuan Secret Realm this time.
In previous years, dozens of people would enter the Lingxuan Secret Realm, but this time many people hesitated.
In fact, the True Demon Palace initially planned to send people, but because they made exorbitant demands, wanting Lingxuan Temple to pay a heavy price, Lingxuan Temple decisively refused.
And this matter is somewhat related to Li Ming...
Li Ming's public defeat of Wei Wudao caused the True Demon Palace to lose face, and they vented their anger on this incident.
When the Sweeper Monk emerged from seclusion, Abbot Qingxin learned of Li Ming's situation and felt more confident, directly refusing the people from the True Demon Palace.
Li Ming stared at the wooden bridge ahead and said in a deep voice:
"I will join you in slaying the demon behind this."
The monks, including Xuan Kong, breathed a sigh of relief and felt somewhat grateful.
"Thank you very much... With Senior Brother Li's help, this operation will surely succeed."
They trusted the vision of their patriarch.
It should be noted that even though Xuan Kong's talent was not bad, and he was already a powerful expert in the Divine Power Realm at the age of twenty-three, he still did not catch the eye of the patriarch.
Li Ming had only been at Lingxuan Temple for a day when he gained the attention of the patriarch, who declared that Li Ming had the potential to become a bodhisattva.
Therefore, Abbot Qingxin spared no expense to allow Li Ming to directly enter the Sutra Repository to view the temple's divine skills and unique techniques.
Others don't receive this treatment.
This was simply to create a suitable opportunity for Li Ming to meet the Sweeper Monk.
Li Ming paid no attention to the monks' thoughts, but instead asked them:
"It seems the only way to cross the River of Oblivion is by using this wooden bridge?"
“That’s right. If you walk on this wooden bridge, there will be many evil spirits and Rakshasa that will come to attack you. And the River of Oblivion is set up with a restriction, so you can’t fly. You will be subjected to a strong gravity. Some people originally tried to cross the river by trickery and fell directly into the river and were teleported out. However…”
Xuan Kong paused for a moment, then continued:
"However, the River of Oblivion may be in danger now."
Legend has it that the real River of Oblivion, if a person falls into it, will cause their body to decay and their soul to leave, preventing them from being reincarnated for eternity. Since this demon doesn't even know where the ghost messengers have gone, the river water is most likely problematic as well.
Li Ming nodded; this was roughly what he had expected.
We still have to cross the bridge; if we try to take a shortcut, we'll probably only be playing into the demons' hands.
"Due to the restrictions, we must cross this bridge. We'll go together later, so don't get separated."
Xuan Kong spoke.
Li Ming shook his head and said:
"No need. Just follow behind me and don't wander around."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming led the way onto the bridge.
Seeing Li Ming's confidence, Xuan Kong didn't say much.
It's always the best news that someone is taking the initiative to go first.
As the group walked on the bridge, they saw countless water ghosts roaring and wailing in the river below, lamenting their suffering.
They asked them why they weren't coming down to keep them company.
Suddenly, a series of dark, ghostly hands attacked them, seemingly trying to drag them down with them.
Li Ming's body surged with true energy, and with the explosion of his blood and qi, anything that came near him turned into smoke.
Suddenly, a group of evil spirits appeared ahead, blocking the way.
"die!"
Upon seeing these evil spirits, Li Ming's eyes lit up.
For a moment, it was unclear who the real evil spirit was.
Li Ming raised his fist and brought it down, striking the evil spirits until they screamed in agony.
When a monk tried to intervene, Li Ming stopped him on the spot:
"No need. These evil spirits' attacks are extremely vicious. If you are hit, you will inevitably suffer damage."
"And what about you?"
Upon hearing Li Ming's words, one of the monks immediately expressed concern.
The ghostly aura of these evil spirits is actually quite potent against living people. Even if they practice Buddhist techniques, it will take them quite some time to dispel their injuries after being possessed.
"Don't worry... I have a way to solve this."
Li Ming waved his hand and spoke with great magnanimity.
Even if these ghostly energies are not absorbed by the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, they will be neutralized by his constitution, so he has no burden whatsoever.
Without this terrifying ghostly attack, the strength of these evil spirits is actually quite ordinary.
"Senior Brother Li!"
In the eyes of Lingxuan Temple and others, Li Ming's status was immediately elevated.
His fondness for her continued to grow.
As expected of disciples of the patriarch, they nodded to each other, all considering whether they should address him as their grandmaster uncle.
Li Ming, on the other hand, was extremely pleased as he reaped the lives of these evil spirits.
Killing one is equivalent to him cultivating for several days.
This is so awesome!
