Chapter 136: Chapter 133: Don’t Assume the Stone Man Has Only One Eye (2nd Update)

"No-Life Dao" heritage mainly comprises two core Daoist Skills: "Pill Fire Golden Lotus Skill" and "Good Water White Lotus Skill," both are from the Earth Department!"

Men primarily cultivate the "Golden Lotus Skill," while women cultivate the "White Lotus Skill."

Because at the same level, there is often a situation where the Water Element overcomes the Fire Element, hence, women hold a higher status within the sect.

Some enthusiasts even bestow the special title of "White Lotus Holy Daughter" upon some exceptionally outstanding women in the sect.

Because their other responsibility is to wait for the "Ming King from the prophecy of Buddha coming back to life, changing Heaven and Earth, creating Qiankun".

They wholeheartedly assist the "Ming King," a savior coming from the White Sun World!

When practicing these two fundamental Daoist Skills, Magicians need to find a rare lotus seed, cultivate it using Daoist Skill for forty-nine days, and plant it in their Dantian to nurture a superior "Dao Foundation."

The more precious the lotus seed, the stronger the "Dao Foundation."

The day the lotus blooms marks their time for Receiving Talisman into Enlightenment.

Just like the leading male and female Daoist in No-Life Dao, each has a splendid lotus blossoming above their heads.

One glimmers a fiery golden color.

The other ripples in a clean white light.

Where both merge, fire complements water, and they managed to suppress Nie Renxiong, who possessed the Yin God Sword, even with their mere mid-stage Red Seal True Qi Realm cultivation.

The golden and white intermingling like a grand pair of scissors, snipping and sparking great flakes of firelight from the "Taiyin Split Light Sword."

Even the originally pure and dazzling white sword light gradually dimmed.

But upon close observation, one would find:

The struggle of the "Taiyin Split Light Sword," possessed by Nie Renxiong’s Yin God, was not because of their mere True Qi Realm Divine Power Skill but because of the palm-sized "One-Eyed Stone Man" in the female Daoist’s hand.

"Do not say the stone man has but one eye; it stirs the Turbid River, and the world rebels!"

Accompanied by a chant like the rolling of murky waves, a hazy yellow light emanated straight from the single eye of that stone man.

Even the "Taiyin Split Light Sword," which had become one with Nie Renxiong as if part of his body, seemed ready to rampage and savagely bite its own master.

The ability of the "Deceit Object·One-Eyed Stone Man" is simple—rebellion!

Be it Daoist Skill, Magic Artifact, or physical combat, anything exposed to this yellow light immediately rebels against its master, the longer the exposure, the stronger the rebellion.

Nie Renxiong, in his Yin God Sword state, was not incapable of slaying these two demons.

Unfortunately, just suppressing the rebellion of the "Taiyin Split Light Sword" had already exhausted all his energy.

"Ah!"

As all his subordinates fall one after another, his shouts of anger grow increasingly weak.

After a prolonged standoff, what was inevitably destined happened.

However, the first problem did not arise from Nie Renxiong’s dearly treasured "Taiyin Split Light Sword," but from his body, which should have been properly managed.

In the absence of divine soul control, his sturdy body, with eyes closed, ran out of the city on its own!

Buddhism states, "In heaven and earth, I alone am honored."

This is not the ravings of a madman but rather because the "I" here represents "consciousness", which means: nothing is more important in this world than maintaining the Self.

At the point of "Integrated Force" in the Taoist Military Skill, the "Thirty-Six Martial Arts Books" also mention it.

Flesh, fascia, bones, internal organs... every body part acknowledges the "Self" as the master, and the personal consciousness completely controls the body.

But now this body has betrayed Nie Renxiong’s "consciousness," and actively delivered itself over.

Almost the moment he showed up, he was ambushed by two "Three Yang Soldiers" who, with a few slashes, chopped him into mincemeat.

"Ah——!!!"

A piercing scream suddenly emerged from within the sword light.

Though the late-stage Red Seal Yin God Emergence is powerful, with no corresponding countermeasures, taking on a thousand alone is no joke.

But the body itself was a major vulnerability.

Once the enemy seizes the opportunity to break it, the Yin God, lacking a vessel, begins to greatly weaken over time until it dissipates.

Last night, Senior Brother Song, whose body was devoured by the "Joyful Deity," met such a fate, and now Nie Renxiong faced the same predicament.

Unless he could find a compatible person to possess shortly or transition into the Ghost Path, he could barely save his life.

Unfortunately.

The two No-Life Dao demons clearly would not give Nie Renxiong any more chances at this moment.

The One-Eyed Stone Man’s eye flashed yellow again, about to strengthen its effect, causing the "Divine Power Talisman" within General Wu Yi’s Yin God to also rebel against "consciousness."

"Hahaha, delaying this mere quarter of an hour is no waste.

Soon, when all but your consciousness is beyond your control, let that female general personally experience the taste of being betrayed by her own brother.

At that moment, the expression on her face will definitely be spectacular!"

With this "One-Eyed Stone Man," they have caused countless tragedies in the mortal world, with sibling betrayal being just a routine matter.

Qiu Shaobai, who was still desperately fighting, was already on the brink of collapse, about to die under the assault of a group of "Three Yang Soldiers."

With a desperate expression:

"Is it over?"

Just at that moment.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...

A sharp, unparalleled golden thread, carrying a piercing screech, came crashing down on them.

Only then did the No-Life Dao Demon notice that there seemed to be something amiss in the city.

He had to temporarily spare Nie Renxiong, twisting the [Deceit Object · One-Eyed Stone Man] in his hand, astonishingly fixing all the [Money Sword Qi], comparing with that of the Mage Realm as well.

A cold smile even appeared on the faces of the two demons.

"Ignorant of life and death!"

Then, merely a breath later, that smile stiffened on their faces.

For the second wave, the third wave... an endless stream of [Money Sword Qi] descended like the previous wave of corpses, continuously pouncing down.

One wave of sword qi could tempt a rebellion, two waves of sword qi could make them attack each other to neutralize, then what about the third wave, the fourth wave?

Bang!

There was hardly any resistance.

The two Red Seal Mid-Stage Magicians, along with all the [Daoist Soldiers] and believers gathered at the east city gate, were all wiped out by the [Money Sword Qi], turned to ash.

Even that [Deceit Object · One-Eyed Stone Man] was split in two by the saturated storm of sword qi.

"General!"

Qiu Shaobai, not having the time to think about who the high person was that saved him, immediately rushed a few steps toward Nie Renxiong and after barely shouting once, fell heavily to the ground.

The Yin God of Nie Renxiong, having lost his meat body, manifested immediately, looking at the corpses of his brethren all over the ground and could not help but show a mournful expression.

Instead of choosing to enter the city to find a suitable living person to possess, even though his official position granted him that power,

he completely opened his body and mind and shouted,

"Earth Gate! Open!"

Instantly.

Bubbling Netherworld Yin Qi surged out from the [Earth Gate], instantly filling his Yin God, uncontrollably transforming him from human to ghost!

Just at the instant of completing the ghost transformation.

A brilliantly golden halo violently blossomed behind his head.

Scattering a field of Merit Golden Light, it pulled the souls of the ten-plus deceased Imperial Dragon Officers from their bodies during this battle, gathering them into the [Merit Golden Wheel].

He then deeply bowed toward the sky:

"Thank you, Mage, for your great kindness. If there is a command in the future, I, Nie, will rush through fire and water without hesitation!"

Wang Yuan, who was not personally present, nevertheless captured all of this through [Ghost Ear Listening].

"Merit Golden Wheel? After transforming into a ghost, did Nie Renxiong directly become a Ghost Hero?"

They say not all humans share the same fate, actually, not all ghosts share the same fate either.

After transforming into a ghost, there are Wandering Souls, Resentful Ghosts, Evil Ghosts, Fierce Ghosts... and so on, akin to different professions among humans, some are farmers, some are robbers, and some are soldiers.

What then is a Ghost Hero?

After dying the valiant dead, whose spirit remains strong and soul remains brave, becomes the noble among hundreds of ghosts!

This kind of ghost not only can leave a name in the mortal world but often becomes a local hero even in the Yin Department, and is even the prime candidate for the City God in the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" system!

However, Wang Yuan temporarily did not have the time to consider Nie Renxiong’s future.

Because he discovered that the chatter of rolling waves kept resounding within the severed stone man, finally turning into a final cry:

"Do not say the stone man has but one eye, it can stir the Turbid River and rebel against the world!"

Do not be fooled by this one-eyed stone man in the Turbid River; it can lead the whole world in rebellion and overthrow the Court’s rule!

The severed head of the stone man on the ground slightly turned, and suddenly gazed toward Wang Yuan’s location.

Although no yellow light was emitted anymore, that solitary eye seemed as if it had the ability to penetrate all appearances, firmly fixing on his divine soul, deeply remembering his breath.

Under this gaze, all disguises like plastic surgery, skin and flesh, Spirit Communication Transformation, Human Face Painting... were of no use.

The next moment.

Wang Yuan felt as though he was being firmly stared down by a [Deceit Eye] from an infinitely distant place.

No place to escape, no place to hide, as long as he was in the Turbid River Basin, it seemed as if that eerie gaze was everywhere!

Just like being relentlessly hunted by a predator from the top of the food chain, Wang Yuan’s body involuntarily shuddered.

Straining to observe with [Eyes as Deep as Indigo], it seemed as if there was an umbilical cord-like ethereal object linked to the [One-Eyed Stone Man], entering into Luoshui.

Hearing its shouts, it was discernible that Luoshui was not the end of this "umbilical cord", but surely it connected further into Turbid River.

Where another eerie object quietly lay.

"Hiss! This is... seems there is another... One-Eyed Stone Man buried within the Turbid River?!"

Through the distant established mutual perception, Wang Yuan also faintly seemed to see the other’s appearance.

——A gigantic One-Eyed Stone Man as if it could overturn rivers and seas and capture flood dragons!

And at that very instant.

The tribulation energy above his head terrifyingly grew at a rapid pace, seeming as if tribulation was imminent anytime!
