The gray-robed Taoist's flaw in his magical artifact was exposed, but he refused to admit it. He sneered, "This artifact is powerful enough to deal with you!"
One by one, black figures leaped out from the Six Paths of Reincarnation! A black mist emanated from Qi Zhiheng's body, enveloping him completely.
The gray-robed Taoist was initially surprised, then burst into laughter, "I never imagined you were also a demonic cultivator! No wonder! No wonder..." His unfinished words were left unsaid.
Qi Zhiheng knew what he was thinking. As fellow demonic cultivators, only those whose demonic energy was purer than their opponent's could suppress it. He knew that the other party had probably misunderstood his demonic energy.
Qi Zhiheng's gray mist can be transformed into any kind of spiritual energy, including demonic energy.
He knew that the Six Paths of Reincarnation relied on demonic energy to operate, and that in the face of forces of the same origin, it was less likely to cause a conflict between the two power systems, thus avoiding an explosion caused by the collision of forces.
Using demonic energy to test the opponent's strength is the best approach.
With a flick of his whisk, the gray-robed Taoist sent the black figures, like hunting dogs that had caught the scent of blood, rushing toward Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng used his demonic energy to collide with the black figures, blocking their attack. Then, he used the power of the gray mist to try to disintegrate these black figures.
If it comes to combat, a head-on clash is certainly the fastest way to end a battle, but he is very interested in the power of these black figures. He would like to take a bite of the fat meat that has been delivered to his mouth.
These black figures, like those demonic beasts, have the characteristic of disappearing and reappearing in the cycle of reincarnation. They are the kind of disgusting creatures that can wear you down even if their attack power is not as strong as yours.
In other words, it's a contest of spiritual power. If Qi Zhiheng's spiritual power is insufficient and he can't hold out until all the black figures disappear, he will suffer a crushing defeat.
If the gray-robed Taoist's magic power is exhausted before Qi Zhiheng collapses, then he will ultimately fail!
The gray-robed Taoist was extremely confident. How could a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself be inferior to a Spirit Core cultivator in terms of cultivation strength? What a ridiculous joke!
Unfortunately, Qi Zhiheng was a cultivator who did not use conventional methods. He first tried to decompose the black figure with gray mist, which did indeed decompose it into his own power, but the process was extremely slow...
At this rate, it might not even take half an hour to break one down!
So he abandoned that strategy and adopted a more aggressive, sweeping attack approach!
If the other party wants to compete with him in spiritual power, they have really miscalculated! Qi Zhiheng is a person with ten spiritual roots, and his spiritual reserves are ten times more than those of an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, not to mention that his spiritual power has been refined countless times! Even dealing with two Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not be a problem.
When the gray-robed Taoist saw that Qi Zhiheng actually wanted to fight him with spiritual power, he immediately thought the other party was incredibly foolish! A mere Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to waste his spiritual power on him? Even with the other Nascent Soul cultivator beside him, he probably wouldn't be a match for him!
Yang Yitian, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, shouted "Go for it!" and then continued watching the spectacle...
Qi Zhiheng: "..."
As Qi Zhiheng pressed closer, more and more of the gray-robed Taoist's black figures emerged, completely surrounding Qi Zhiheng.
Yang Yitian, who was watching everything from the sidelines, was starting to get worried. There were so many of these ugly things, it was making his scalp tingle! He was already considering whether he should go over and lend a hand.
However, he did not hesitate for long. From the gaps between the disgusting black shadows that had piled up like a small mountain above Qi Zhiheng, beams of bright yellow light shone through, and then he felt the silent screams of these black shadows!
The shadows vanished without a trace in the light!
Qi Zhiheng stood in his original spot, radiating a Buddhist aura, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand!
The sight dazzled Yang Yitian...
If Qi Zhiheng shaved his head, it would look completely natural! Yang Yitian thought to himself with a rather self-deceptive air.
Then he shook his head and shouted at Qi Zhiheng, "No way! Qi Zhiheng, are you trying to become a monk? Don't forget you still have a wife and kids!"
Qi Zhiheng's carefully crafted image crumbled in an instant! His face twitched for a moment; if he knew some popular slang on Earth, he would definitely call him an "idiot!"
The gray-robed Taoist priest was somewhat incredulous: "You! How could you be a Buddhist cultivator! What you just used was clearly demonic energy!" But the light that had just destroyed the black figure was indeed the power of a Buddhist cultivator!
How could Buddhism, Taoism, and demonic paths coexist in the same person? The gray-robed Taoist could not believe what he was seeing.
Qi Zhiheng originally only tried it out, but he didn't expect that the power of Buddhism and Taoism would be so effective in fighting against demonic cultivators!
If someone else were to wield the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to break through the opponent's attack so easily!
This Six Paths Reincarnation Disc is not a demonic artifact; it only became a power driven by demonic artifacts in the hands of demonic cultivators.
Qi Zhiheng felt that using the power of Buddhist cultivation to control the Six Paths of Reincarnation was the most suitable approach!
Because of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the gray-robed Taoist had consumed most of his demonic energy, making it difficult to activate the Six Paths of Reincarnation again. He hurriedly swallowed a pill, hoping to speed up the recovery of his demonic energy.
Qi Zhiheng did not give his opponent a chance. Taking advantage of the moment when his demonic energy was exhausted, he killed him in one fell swoop! Then he took the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, which had fallen to the ground due to the loss of power.
At this point, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc had become its most primitive form, a round spiritual artifact the size of a palm.
However, it is still tainted with a lot of demonic energy, which will probably be difficult to remove in a short time.
Qi Zhiheng didn't mind and put away the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, planning to remove the demonic energy from it when he had the chance.
Seeing that the battle was over, Yang Yitian went forward to check on the gray-robed Taoist. At that moment, a figure flew out from the gray-robed Taoist and rushed towards Yang Yitian!
It was a tiny infant with a somewhat ferocious appearance, the very nascent soul of the gray-robed Taoist. He wanted to possess Yang Yitian's body! He wanted to see if Yang Yitian could still harm him if he possessed his partner!
It would be a lie to say he didn't resent Qi Zhiheng! This was the first time he had suffered such a great loss in front of someone else, even losing his life!
He wanted to make the other party taste the pain! However, he dared not provoke Qi Zhiheng again, so he could only set his sights on Yang Yitian, who seemed weak no matter how he looked at it.
Yang Yitian was also startled by the sudden appearance of the baby! He instinctively cast a spell, freezing the flying infant into a block of ice with astonishing speed!
"Holy crap! That's terrifying! How could there be such an ugly child!" Yang Yitian's mind went blank for a moment.
The gray-robed Taoist, whose nascent soul was now frozen into an ice block, was speechless. "What an easy target!"
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, what is that thing?" After becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, Yang Yitian had been staying in the sect and hadn't had a chance to see what was happening outside.
Qi Zhiheng explained, "That's the old man's nascent soul."
Yang Yitian said, "He's really ugly! Should we kill him?"
Qi Zhiheng hesitated for a moment: "I don't know if he has anything to do with what you sensed."
"This thing is so ugly! It can't possibly have any connection!" Yang Yitian was very reluctant, so he suggested, "Why don't you do a soul search?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "It's not impossible."
The gray-robed Daoist, now only a Nascent Soul frozen into an ice block, thought to himself, "This person, whether demon or Buddha, actually wants to search souls? Everyone knows that only those with strong soul power can search the souls of those with weak soul power! A Nascent Soul cultivator's soul wants to search the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator! What a joke!"
Completely forgetting that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator had just killed him, and lost in the beautiful fantasy of possessing Qi Zhiheng's body, the gray-robed Taoist, whose Nascent Soul had been frozen into an ice block, was suddenly invaded by a powerful divine sense, his sea of consciousness completely destroyed! His so-called defenses crumbled before Qi Zhiheng's soul power, and he quickly lost consciousness.
The nascent soul completely lost its vitality, and Qi Zhiheng obtained some information he wanted.
Yang Yitian asked with some curiosity, "Did you find any useful information?"
Qi Zhiheng sorted through the gray-robed Taoist's memories, gathering the useless information into a corner, while searching for information about the city.
"There is information about this city, but I don't know if it's related to what you sensed."
"What do you have?" Yang Yitian asked.
Qi Zhiheng put his arm around his shoulder and said towards the city, "Let's go back first and talk as we go."
The matter of this city is also related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc in the hands of the gray-robed Taoist.
Originally, a formation had been set up here by the gray-robed Taoist. Those formations that imprisoned souls were all set up by this gray-robed Taoist, and his purpose was the souls of these mortals.
The purpose is to make his Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel more perfect.
Just as Qi Zhiheng said before, this Six Paths Reincarnation Disc is not perfect. Compared to its aura, its true power is utterly pathetic! In order to enhance the power of this Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, the gray-robed Taoist naturally planned to use souls to refine it, since the Six Paths Reincarnation is closely related to a person's soul.
The reason he would abandon the powerful souls of cultivators and choose the souls of mortals is because the souls of cultivators are not subject to the cycle of reincarnation, so he can only target those mortals.
As a demonic cultivator, he didn't particularly care about mortals' birthdays, but he would still bear the karmic burden during his tribulation, making the lightning tribulation even more intense. The gray-robed Taoist didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he devised a plan to have others bear this karmic burden for him!
Who would he turn to for forgiveness? Naturally, he'd turn to his enemies!
Righteous cultivators wouldn't work, because they would definitely pay extra attention to ordinary humans, so he found a demonic cultivator.
