Chapter 327: Mirror of Retrieval (2) Three-in-one without additional update
"Bang!"
Two identical bone flagpoles collided fiercely, and the vast and surging death energy instantly overturned the sea of clouds, and the sky seemed to be dark!
"Hmm."
The venom released simultaneously spread and flowed, yet it did not harm either of them in the slightest. With them as the center, the spiritual energy within a one-mile radius was instantly contaminated and poisoned!
The Tracing Mirror emitted golden light to resist, and the Buddha's light enveloped the mirror, continuously dissipating the poisonous gas. Only then did Li Chi and the other three realize that something was wrong around them.
The vast sea of dead energy between heaven and earth disrupted their spiritual perception and consciousness. If it weren't for the Retracing Mirror, they would have been caught unawares, not even being targeted, but simply affected.
Li Chi looked down along the black liquid and saw that the green mountains on the ground were rapidly beginning to wither as if stained with ink.
What made him feel even more chilled was that a faint pure white light was emanating from the withered mountain, revealing the purity and vitality of the soul.
"Extracting the poison of anger...?"
He actually used no principles to rob living beings of their vitality with just a few gestures. Li Chi subconsciously looked up at the sky, but saw no thunder falling.
There was only that circular black hole in the sky, even brighter than the sun.
How could this strange cultivator be so powerful? It was as if he was a being that towered over the world.
Li Chi finally understood why so many people had fought to stop the arrival of the ghost world ten thousand years ago, and now, this heavy responsibility fell on their shoulders.
They must not retreat now.
Li Chi made up his mind and shook his head at the looks of the other three. To stay constantly responsive to the battle, they had to maintain a distance of at most half a mile from Luo Xuanyi. If they retreated due to the unusual circumstances around them, they might let the strange cultivator go.
The four of them chanted scriptures silently, and the Tracing Mirror shone with Buddha's light more and more, piercing through the surrounding darkness, and a faint golden light floated into the body of "Luo Xuanyi".
Luo Xuanyi's light grey vertical pupils darkened, and she suddenly pulled back her hand, which was originally in a stalemate with Luo Xuanyi. She raised her hand and threw it towards Xihua, the evil star shining in the sky. The fake star's light immediately projected onto Luo Xuanyi!
The radiance of Judgment of Evil was like a thunderbolt, burning Luo Xuanyi's entire body. But in just a moment, Luo Xuanyi immediately realized "Luo Xuanyi's" intention, and in the blink of an eye, she raised her battle flag and struck down the fake star, and Xihua's radiance suddenly dissipated.
Luo Xuanyi wasn't the least bit discouraged by her unsuccessful attack; she had anticipated Luo Xuanyi's move. She proactively drew her flag again, stepped forward to trap the black mist, and then turned the flag around and calmly swept across!
The cold air burst out with a sound of breaking wind, and the corrosive blue flames burned the spiritual power and rushed towards Luo Xuanyi greedily!
It was called an attack, but in fact, the remnants of the Soul-Falling Formation in the intervening world that was secretly laid in the palm of his hand suddenly pressed towards Luo Xuanyi!
The black fog quietly hid in the void with the help of the Taixu starlight of the virtual and real way. It flashed slightly and just avoided the formation and floated down in the distance. However, it was no longer a black fog cloud, but Luo Xuanyi who was reshaped into a human form.
Li Chi, watching from afar, unclenched his clenched fists in disappointment. He had expected Luo Xuanyi to panic upon suddenly encountering someone who looked just like him, and be caught in a weak spot and defeated, but he hadn't expected her to be so calm.
Luo Xuanyi, whose formation failed, looked up, and even a look of envy and complexity flashed across her face.
"You really..."
She sighed softly, then resolutely took out the servant and gently placed it to her lips.
"I'm sorry, but give me your soul."
In an instant, Luo Xuanyi heard the faint voice from the other side conveying the desire and ambition for life.
This wasn't just a superficial "copy," the "Luo Xuanyi" on the other side was simply...
Staring at the confusing servant spinning in Luo Xuanyi's palm, in the faintly floating blue flames, Luo Xuanyi's thoughts flashed through his mind.
"……May I have your name?"
"Luo Xuanyi" pursed her lips and refused to answer the three words Luo Xuanyi, just as Luo Xuanyi had expected.
In response to Luo Xuanyi's question, she blew gently towards Huo Pu.
"call--"
A cold blue flame spewed out, burning a boundless sea of fire in the dark and dead air, rushing towards Luo Xuanyi!
There is nowhere to hide between heaven and earth!
As soon as the flame was blown out, Luo Xuanyi felt that the original ghost fire in her body suddenly changed direction and blew outwards. A few tiny sparks floated and tried to pounce on the blue flame. The ghost fire all over her body shook, as if it would fall apart at any time.
So this is what it means to seize souls!
After understanding Luo Xuanyi's thoughts, Luo Xuanyi clapped his hands, and eight flags immediately spread out to form a circular formation.
"boom!"
The blue flames surged and submerged Luo Xuanyi, but from the dark blue, a magic circle like a golden bell suddenly projected out.
Luo Xuanyi stood in the golden feather formation, unharmed.
The flames rolled back into the confused servant, and "Luo Xuanyi" frowned.
She possessed all of Luo Xuanyi's memories and knew, of course, that the Golden Wing Formation could not be broken before her spiritual energy was exhausted. Replacing the fake star was still effective before the formation took shape, but Luo Xuanyi set up the formation too quickly.
But before she could react to what to do next, Luo Xuanyi flashed out of the formation, and the Eight Formation Flags fluttered back into her hand and were thrown into the sky again!
It’s the Soul-Falling Formation of the Interval Realm!
"Luo Xuanyi" subconsciously used Taixu Star to hide his body, but saw Luo Xuanyi coming towards him and retracting the formation, and his body had already overlapped with his own illusory position!
What does she want to do?
"Luo Xuanyi" was stunned, but her instinctive desire to seize souls and live made her subconsciously take off the fake star and reveal her true form.
The golden light of the retrospective mirror is brilliant.
The two strange cultivators' bodies overlapped, and the original ghost fire in Luo Xuanyi's body, along with all other auras, could not help but roll into Luo Xuanyi's body. But before Luo Xuanyi could completely absorb it, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Luo Xuanyi not only has the original ghost fire in her body, but also two Yao family soul seals.
The soul seal is determined to be Luo Xuanyi's soul, and the sparks of the original ghost fire are absorbed into the body of "Luo Xuanyi".
What will happen if you ignite the soul seal?
Luo Xuanyi smiled slightly, blew the flame gently into the soul seal in "Luo Xuanyi"'s body, and disappeared into the void.
"boom!"
“Hmm!?”
The sparks of the original ghost fire directly ignited the soul seal. However, what "Luo Xuanyi" was afraid of was not the burning of the soul seal, but the green heart and white flame that followed the soul seal and was produced by absorbing the soul!
A faint green light began to rise, and "Luo Xuanyi" subconsciously wanted to take out the living soul to surround the green heart and white flame as before, but she could not feel Rong Gui at her waist.
She's just a fake.
The white light gradually grew stronger. The original ghost fire plundered by "Luo Xuanyi" was not enough for it to absorb. The green-hearted white flame rushed directly towards "Luo Xuanyi", and her whole body immediately burned into a phantom!
“Ahhhh!”
The four people of Li Chi in the distance had no idea what was happening. They only saw "Luo Xuanyi" suddenly screaming in pain. Before they could even react, they saw a white light completely swallowing up the shadow, and suddenly two strange marks flashed into the Retrospective Mirror!
Ripples surged in the Retrospective Mirror, and the mirror light flickered. The Yao family soul seal and the green heart white flames constantly collided, and the waves on the mirror surface became stronger and more violent!
The soul seal splashed out a feather of light, trying to cut the green heart and white flame, but it cut directly on the mirror!
“Crack!”
The gold ornaments engraved on the entire surface of the Suhuan Mirror suddenly shattered and melted into a stream of golden pulp!
The four of them hurriedly tried to chant scriptures to restrain themselves, but they felt a huge force coming from the mirror!
"This is……!"
The four of them felt a chill all over their bodies, and the lotus platforms in their bodies began to deconstruct in response to the mirror light. Severe pain burst out from their dantian. The spiritual power of the four of them was no longer under their control, and all of it poured into the Retroactive Mirror!
The gold ornaments kept falling off, and the gold paste twisted into a golden river flowing in the air, gradually condensing into a human statue.
He was holding a butcher knife in his arms and had an inexplicable smile on his face. He was the Golden Body of Mahadeva.
Da Zizai glanced at Luo Xuanyi who was about to flee. With just one glance, Luo Xuanyi suddenly felt the entire sky descending down on her back, and she was immediately frozen in place, unable to move.
If she could sweat, Luo Xuanyi's forehead would probably be dripping with sweat. But she still didn't deliberately look away, instead observing the golden statue and the Tracing Mirror without stopping.
The golden statue appears exquisitely sculpted, but the luster flowing across its surface clearly indicates the gold paste has not solidified. Without the golden support, the Tracing Mirror also appears to be in a fluid state, as if poised to tip over at any moment.
The four people who were originally holding the Mirror of Return were now motionless in front of the golden body of Dazizai. Their robes were soaked through and their faces were pale.
Luo Xuanyi didn't realize it was the Tracing Mirror losing control, and she thought the four men were risking their lives to capture her, unleashing the full force of the Tracing Mirror. But regardless, it didn't look like the four of them could hold out for much longer.
Then, it’s a matter of procrastination.
Facing Luo Xuanyi's calm gaze, Da Zizai withdrew his gaze. He stared at the extinguished green heart and white flame in the mirror, and the settled Yao family soul seal, then slowly raised a hand.
As he moved, his golden body naturally emitted golden light, which expanded infinitely in all directions. The overwhelming deathly aura between heaven and earth was instantly dispelled, and the clear sky finally reappeared.
The setting sun shone upon the mirror, but was gently slashed aside by the butcher's knife. A strange darkness surrounded the mirror, with only the mirror itself gleaming with a faint white light.
Da Zizai drew out the butcher knife from his arms and inserted it into the mirror.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tightening silk thread on the avenue.
"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng..."
Whether it was the stars in the sky, the grass and trees on the ground, the human souls nearby, or the monks in the boundless sky in the distance, all of them showed the shadows of their souls, projected into the air.
At this moment, it was as if the underworld of reincarnation had descended directly into this place.
Soul shadows lingered before the Retracing Mirror, one after another passing by. Just as Luo Xuanyi saw her own soul's shadow about to pass through the mirror, a crack in the heavenly ghost world suddenly flashed, freeing her from her immobility.
She suddenly subconsciously waved at her soul shadow, and the faint shadow dissipated and fell back into Luo Xuanyi's body.
But even if Luo Xuanyi broke free, Dazizai's target was not her soul.
The figure of a man with a sad face passed by the mirror, but stopped.
The Great Freedom Golden Image drew out his butcher knife and slashed at the soul shadow cleanly, and the soul imprint in the mirror disappeared immediately.
Yao Yong, who was sitting in the Yao family mansion thousands of miles away, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and spurted out a pool of black blood!
"cough!"
"Sir, what's wrong?!"
Gulan, standing nearby, jumped up as if startled, and immediately launched a blockade around the house. But despite her vigilance, she couldn't sense the enemy.
Yao Yong wiped the blood with his hands behind his back with a gloomy face.
"It's broken... in the south..."
He stood up and looked at the sky to the south. Seeing that he was so afraid to speak, Gulan waited silently by the side.
"I'd like to see it."
Yao Yong murmured, and suddenly stretched out a finger of his other hand and touched the bloodstain. He quickly drew a complex character on the back of his hand and immediately infused it with spiritual power.
"go."
The bloodstains gradually dissipated. Thousands of miles away, Luo Xuanyi suddenly discovered that bloodstains were slowly appearing on Da Zizai Jin's body. They were not disorderly, but rather looked like some kind of rigorous and extremely complicated text, which was similar to the structure of the Yao family's soul seal.
While observing, something in the sky cast a beam of light, which hit Luo Xuanyi's eyes.
Although she couldn't move quickly because of the shining golden light of Great Freedom, Luo Xuanyi still tried her best to dodge it before looking up.
It turned out to be a star, casting a shining starlight, which fell right in front of Luo Xuanyi.
If it were an ordinary star, Luo Xuanyi might not care. But that star made her slightly stunned.
Those are not the stars in the sky.
The stars of this world are all manifestations of the Dao of celestial beasts. Rather than being scattered across the universe, they are more like dots dotting a canvas. Though the stars move and shine, they are essentially nothing more than the canvas rotating around the world, their distance remaining constant.
But the star Luo Xuanyi suddenly saw was different. It was embedded in the darkness of the sky, gleaming brightly without bringing any aura of Taoism. It was more distant than any other star in the sky.
The strange thing is that Luo Xuanyi had also stared at the black hole, but had never seen such a dazzling star.
Just as her mind was racing, the stars suddenly burst into light!
Luo Xuanyi suddenly woke up and turned to look at Da Zizai. He saw bloodstains all over his body, a giant blood-stained character completely engraved on him. His once radiant golden form now looked incredibly ferocious.
Da Zizai lowered his head and stretched out his palm, gently wiping it across his body.
The bloodstains were silent and seemed to have nothing special about them. When Da Zizai lightly wiped them with his palm, they immediately turned into a stream of pus and blood that flowed down.
However, Luo Xuanyi clearly saw that after the pus and blood fell, there were still fine marks on Jin's body.
Bloodstains have been engraved into the golden body.
"Hey."
A slight sound was heard, and the golden body of Great Freedom transformed from the golden pulp collapsed and fell.
Luo Xuanyi felt a strong sense of malice peering down from the north. She subconsciously looked up at the strange star, only to find that while it was still there, it was dim and lifeless, like a dead star.
Perhaps the Yao family's blood curse is related to this Death Star?
Luo Xuanyi had an instinctive premonition that although she had broken free from the soul seal at the moment, it was only a matter of time before the Yao family would catch up with her.
The Yao family, who were able to destroy the Great Freedom Golden Body with a single blow, were probably even more formidable than this Tracing Mirror. Luo Xuanyi, assuming the worst-case scenario, speculated that the newcomer might have reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
The strange sound of breaking strings gradually ceased to come out of the Taoist magic, and the phantom of the soul also dissipated.
Yao Yong walked out of the house with his hands behind his back and stood under the eaves. He wiped the blood off, his figure still elegant.
The unpleasant atmosphere that had been lingering in the sky had dissipated, but he still looked towards the south with a gloomy gaze.
"Master Fukawa? Are you alright?"
Gulan walked hesitantly to Yao Yong's side, with pure worry showing on her childish face, as if the person in front of her was not a powerful person from the Curse Blood Clan in the God Transformation Stage, but an elderly elder of hers.
After hearing her words, Yao Yong did not look away, but just put his palm on Gulan's head and patted it soothingly.
"I'm fine."
"So what are you thinking about?" Gulan felt a gentle force on his head and gently pulled out Yao Yong's sleeve like a loving fledgling. "If you have anything to say, just tell us."
Gulan said "we". At present, there was no one else in the house except Youyou and Gulan, but Yao Yong didn't think she was wrong.
Retracting his gaze from the sky, he lowered his head to look at Gulan: "Don't you hate Zhongqu Zhinan? Don't force yourself."
Feeling Yao Yong's concern, Gulan was even more excited. She said firmly, "You are busy with your work and cannot leave now. My brother and I want to share your worries."
The draft slightly blew the belt of his clothes into the air. Under Gulan's expectant gaze, Yao Yong finally nodded.
"You go ahead."
"But don't be reckless."
Yao Yong flipped his hand and placed an object in Gulan's palm, saying word by word, "Take this thing, and then go find the Ghost Buddha first."
It felt warm to the touch. Gulan looked at the thing in his hand curiously and squeezed it gently. It was still slightly warm.
"I see." She tilted her head curiously, "But you've already refined the Ghost Buddha and used it as the center of the formation. Why don't you take him back?"
Yao Yong smiled slightly.
"Do you think I refined him?"
In Gulan's heart, Yao Yong was like a father figure. She nodded seriously, only to hear Yao Yong sigh, "For two hundred years, I've never fully refined his mind."
"But he ultimately couldn't escape the influence of his flesh, becoming violent and paranoid. Whenever he saw evil, he would be filled with murderous intent, while those who were good would be gentle and humble."
Yao Yong lowered his eyes to look at what Gulan was holding and said softly, "If you carry something like this, he won't attack you."
"Then lead him to the Gui Xiu."
Even if you cannot control ghosts and Buddhas, you can use their minds.
After carefully noting down everything Yao Yong said, Gulan stepped toward the sky and immediately disappeared.
-
On the other side, Luo Xuanyi was still confronting Suhuan Jing.
She had thought that once the Great Freedom Golden Body was broken, Luo Xuanyi would be free from the influence of the Tracing Mirror. However, she had obviously not realized that Li Chi and the other three had completely lost control of the Tracing Mirror.
This treasure, which can only be used by Buddhist disciples, has already surpassed the four people. It continuously drains their spiritual power and even their lives, and instinctively wants to strangle Luo Xuanyi.
However, no matter how many times he copied "Luo Xuanyi", Luo Xuanyi would always kill him. Such a simple copy could not hurt Luo Xuanyi at all except for the first encounter.
When it comes to consuming death energy, Luo Xuanyi is protected by the rift in the heavenly ghost world, and the more he fights, the stronger he becomes.
Seeing that the four of them were about to run out of energy, and Luo Xuanyi was merely restricted in her range of movement, the light in the Suhuan Mirror gradually calmed down, as if something was brewing.
Countless spiritual lights drifted in from all around, condensing on the mirror's surface. The vast spiritual power needed to be circulated by the Buddhist lotus platform. Li Chi and the other three could no longer hold on and collapsed miserably.
Luo Xuanyi confirmed that she could not escape the capture of the mirror light. Seeing that the Tracing Mirror was brewing some unknown tricks, she suddenly remembered the Baixiao Formation that she had learned from the Formation Cultivator's Brain.
Baixiao Formation is a search-type formation. If you place an object in it, you can know its details.
Seeing that the four people were unable to stop her from setting up the formation, Luo Xuanyi took out the formation flags and tentatively spread out the formation, which just covered the Tracing Mirror.
The Tracing Mirror continued to gather spiritual energy and charge, not rejecting the formation. Due to the instability of the four-person lotus platform, the Tracing Mirror charged extremely slowly, but with a faint, unsettling aura.
Seeing this, Luo Xuanyi wanted to know more about the details of the Tracing Mirror. She poured death energy into the formation in one breath.
The lines of the Bai Xiao Formation swirled, and a strange vine emerged from within, gradually wrapping itself around the Su Huan Mirror. This was Luo Xuanyi's first time using the Bai Xiao Formation, and she gazed nervously at the vines and the mirror.
The vine's speed wasn't actually slow; it was only because Luo Xuanyi was watching that it seemed sluggish. In less than two breaths, the vine had completely wrapped around the Tracing Mirror, and suddenly a bud formed.
The bud was initially only the size of a pinky fingernail, but it grew larger and larger, gradually becoming as large as a millstone, and finally blossomed into a pure white six-petal flower. However, Luo Xuanyi had no time to admire the flower's beauty, but instead carefully comprehended the information transmitted back from the flower in the formation.
This information is massive but extremely messy, and Luo Xuanyi must carefully identify it to find what she wants.
The Mirror of Return is one of the three instruments in the hands of the ancient Buddha Mahadeva. It was given as a magic weapon for the Buddha's disciples and can only be used by the Buddha's disciples.
Luo Xuanyi suddenly remembered the ghost Buddha who suddenly attacked Longlan City and then left inexplicably, but it only flashed through her mind, and she continued to search for useful information.
...It is said that before attaining Buddhahood, Mahāshīrti was an orphan wandering the world, fatherless and motherless. He spent his entire life searching for his parents, to no avail... A celestial beast advised Mahāshīrti to abandon his desires and dedicate himself to the Dao, hoping to become a leader. Mahāshīrti, however, said that those who cultivate the Dao and abandon their attachments are nothing but stubborn creatures of wood and stone. Pursuing the path of no-thought only allows the weak to tame themselves through the Dao; those with persistent attachments can ultimately break free from the constraints of the Dao and achieve the Dao of Freedom.
He traveled the world, witnessing the vicissitudes of life... He was disgusted by the Taoist priests who called themselves gods, and jokingly called them "celestial dogs." This led to a falling out between the Taoist priests and the Buddha...
Unexpectedly, Da Zizai was just like the Demon Dao, calling the self-proclaimed agents of Heaven's Dao the running dogs of Heaven's Dao. Luo Xuanyi raised her eyebrows slightly.
She finally understood how Wu Qinghua could become a Buddhist practitioner after such an experience. The great freedom they believed in was a person of temperament, and future generations might not care about the origins of Buddhist practitioners.
But these can only be regarded as anecdotes. Luo Xuanyi saw that the Tracing Mirror was right in front of her, so no matter how interested she was, she could only put it aside for the time being.
After searching for a long time among the deeds of the Great Freedom, Luo Xuanyi was inspired and finally found the records about the Retrospection Mirror.
…When he reached the Mirror River, he saw boatmen practicing Taoism and cultivating their lives, so he took off his shoes and socks and walked barefoot on the river. When he reached the center of the river, his reflection suddenly vanished. A few more steps later, he saw the world flowing by…
...traveling upstream along the Mirror River, its waters flowed upstream from the Celestial Sea. Beyond the edge of the Celestial Sea, there are no records... The Mirror River is a tributary of the Samsara River, accidentally flowing into the human world. Da Zizai then drew its waters to refine the supreme treasure, the Returning Mirror, and reclaimed his mother's soul from the cycle of reincarnation... He also wished to journey to his previous life and witness it firsthand...
Reclaim his mother's soul? Witnessed it in his past life?
Luo Xuanyi's consciousness had just landed on these words, but the Tracing Mirror in front of her did not give her time to think any further. It finally gathered its power and burst out with thousands of Buddha lights, which instantly pierced Luo Xuanyi's body!
But the Buddha's light did not hurt Luo Xuanyi's body, but instead held her original ghost fire tightly like an anchor.
The sound of waves surged from the mirror, and then slowly, a breath of air drifted out from the mirror.
As soon as Luo Xuanyi felt that breath, she suddenly felt her soul tremble.
Her past life is in the mirror.
She subconsciously forced herself to look towards the light, and saw that there was only one eye in the mirror.
That eye had no pupil, and the light was like a mirror, reflecting shadows all the time.
