Chapter 262: Chapter 259: Unification of the Five Senses, Summoning the Thunder Department!

Even though Long Shao was an Earth God of the "Yin God" realm with extremely remarkable Taoist abilities, at this moment, she too was severely startled into a cold sweat by that inverted black figure.

This was happening within her own Mirror Lake Magical Domain, which she had managed for decades.

Even the demons from Xue Donglou’s "No-Life Dao" would need to first figure out how to break the formation before they could truly make their move.

And now, to suddenly see something outside the window at such close range, without even noticing it until seeing it with her own eyes?

She felt an involuntary shiver of dread.

After the initial shock, she did not hesitate for even a moment.

Her eyes suddenly sharpened, her fair and gentle hands flew into action like blooming orchids, rapidly forming a mantra, while her silver thin robe fluttered with the wind, outlining a perfect curve.

The next moment.

Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz....

Dozens and hundreds of glittering ripples burst forth from around her, carrying a piercing shriek, easily slicing through the air, the furniture, the roof, the walls...

Completely enclosing that black figure outside the window.

[Black Water Mysterious Light Technique • Commanding Water Elements]

The limit of Daoist Skill at the "Yin God" realm, under the strong enhancement of the Mirror Lake Magical Domain, was enough to easily annihilate peers.

Unless the intruder surpassed the "Yin God" realm and had already condensed Dharma Light, Long Shao would be an invincible presence within this Mirror Lake Magical Domain.

However,

When the dust began to rise, Long Shao did not sense that her water ripples had hit their target.

With a solemn expression, she stood up and shielded her two daughters behind her, whispering,

"Don’t run around, you two. Stay close to Mom. This visitor bodes ill, Zisu, quickly have Granny Denghua send a message to your cousin to ask for help!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange inverted song came from the midst of the dust:

"Uttering nonsense, pulling nonsense, hoeing thrice in the buckwheat field, from hoe to hoe up to the date tree, falling pomegranates with a splash.

Bending down picking eggplants, picked up two cucumbers, bringing them home to stew, served in the bowl they become tofu. Zhang San eats and Li Si is full, bloating so much Wang Wu runs down the street..."

Immediately after, an inverted figure stepped out, treading along the song.

A pair of blood-red eyes, sometimes lucid and sometimes frantic, stared intently at the mother and daughters.

The pupils were bursting with endless greed, as if it was emanating physically.

Seeing the face of the figure, Long Shao’s expression turned cold:

"You are... the Inverted Taoist?!"

Because she needed to prepare for the great calamity coming next February, Wang Yuan had long shared the information about the "No-Life Dao" with her, with its mages being of utmost importance.

Long Shao naturally recognized the Inverted Taoist at a glance.

However, unlike the encounter in the dream realm where Wang Yuan had met him and could negotiate, this time, this Yellow Seal Mage was clearly targeting them.

After finishing singing that inverted song, the Inverted Taoist suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"Usurpation!"

From within his chest, a continuously twisting Divine Power Talisman that seemed on the verge of losing control, suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, striking Long Shao like lightning.

This decree, akin to a rule, did not harm her, but her jade mask suddenly turned pale.

For the sovereignty of Mirror Lake Magical Domain had, in the blink of an eye, transferred from her, the rightful Mirror Lake Water God, to the Inverted Taoist!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, which she had once controlled as easily as her own limbs, now started to oppose her; both the gentle breeze and the flowing water furiously repelled and suppressed her.

It felt as though she had a tremendous burden strapped to her back.

The Inverted Taoist, treating his hands as feet, crept closer to them step by step, his mouth emitting a strange cackle:

"I had originally planned to take the Water Virtue Dragon Scale Armor to mitigate some losses, but I never expected that apart from the armor, I would also find such excellent ’huts’ here.

Twins with excellent natural abilities, and such strong Water Virtude Dragon Qi about them, truly, the No-Life Old Buddha is watching over me!"

[Dharma Body] is to a mage what a fortress is to a war.

Once one loses their own [Dharma Body], it’s like the fortress has been breached, and one’s combat power immediately reduces to its base form, facing any peer likely means inevitable capture.

One can only rely on layer suppression to continue mustering the prestige of old days in the [Yin God] realm.

However, that Divine Power Talisman in the Yin God always remains the "foundation" of a cultivator.

As long as [Mana] continues to derive from it, one can take a prolonged period to assimilate the body acquired through soul seizing.

Sooner or later, one could recover and rebuild the "fortress".

"Although a ’Mirror Image Person’ like my original form is one in a million, twins with good qualities are not much worse in effect.

But it’s indeed tricky to decide which one to keep."

The choice of hut is critical to the precepts and taboos of the Inverted Chaos Heaven Technique.

There are two types of people who can practice this technique:

The first type is the Mirror Image Person, that is, individuals whose heart, liver, spleen, gallbladder, and other organs are positioned exactly opposite to those of ordinary people, occurring approximately once in a million people.

And the Inverted Taoist is such a Mirror Image Person.

The second type is twins, whether in their mother’s womb or post birth.

If one twin swallows the other using Daoist Skills, they can achieve the same effect.

Moreover, since the sisters’ true forms are snakes, one can swallow the other in one gulp, saving him a great deal of effort.

As for gender, that’s even less of a problem.

After practicing the Great Magic, since walking, eating, and excreting must be inverted, naturally, gender must also be inverted.

The Inverted Taoist, before his enlightenment, was originally a woman!

In the fervent gaze of the Inverted Taoist.

Zisu and Hualing, however, stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Mrs. Long Shao, and though they trembled slightly as the opponent approached them step by step, they didn’t retreat even half a step.

"Mrs. Long Shao! Why not dismount..."

Just as the Inverted Taoist was about to use the Name Calling Falling Horse Skill that had once killed Nie Hongying, dispersing Long Shao’s three souls and seven spirits,

he suddenly sensed something amiss and abruptly turned his head toward a dark shadow, barking coldly:

"Who is lurking there?"

He knew that Qingyan currently couldn’t leave the Dream Realm and chase after him.

Even though his own combat power had temporarily fallen from the Realm of Mage, unless his opponent also condensed [Dharma Light], handling three or five [Yin Gods] was not a problem at all.

So even though he noticed someone breaking in, he still did not show any panic.

"Uncle, don’t attack, it’s me! [Five Organs Temple] Song Bingyi!"

Wang Yuan, in his Ghost Baby state, walked out from the shadows, his face full of smiles, repeatedly bowing to Inverted Taoist.

"Is it you, lad?"

Upon seeing who the visitor was, Inverted Taoist couldn’t help but frown slightly.

During the fierce battle with the Yellow-Garbed Child, the three [Yin Gods] who should have been the core supporters—Su Guyun, Jin Changhao, and Song Bingyi—had all failed to appear.

If the three had been there from the start, Inverted Taoist definitely wouldn’t have suffered such a heavy defeat, so naturally, he held no good impression of Song Bingyi.

Seeing the displeasure on his face, Wang Yuan hurriedly explained:

"Uncle, it really wasn’t my intention to withhold support earlier.

It was because on the way here, I saw Senior Sister Su and Senior Brother Jin fighting over a treasure, and in the end, Senior Sister Su even ate Senior Brother Jin alive with the ’Heart-Devouring Poison’."

After that, I was chased down by Senior Sister Su, barely escaping with my life. Please forgive me, uncle."

As he spoke, he fetched a golden object from his chest and sent it towards Inverted Taoist using the Object Manipulation Technique.

This statement was mostly true, and the logic was completely sound; upon hearing it, Inverted Taoist immediately believed most of it.

When he clearly saw the object, he was deeply moved.

"This...this is actually the ’Life Creation Pill’ that the Medicine Immortal Sect’s Shan Jun spent years researching? It was actually successful?"

He couldn’t help but grab it in his hand.

Without a doubt, what he desired most now was to restore his Mage’s Taoist Ability.

This Life Creation Pill, which could grant a Mage a second life, came at just the right time!

However, just as he was about to eagerly stuff the "Elixir" into his mouth, his action suddenly paused, and clarity returned to his eyes.

"No, how could there be such a physical object in a dream realm? And when has my sect ever tolerated such a pure-hearted fool?!"

The [Rashamon Bone]’s [Deceitful Heart] finally failed for the first time.

The golden [Rashamon Bone] also reverted to its original form, a simple bone, which Inverted Taoist threw away.

His eyes fiercely fixed on the traitorous "Song Bingyi."

"You scoundrel, looking for death!"

After handing out the [Rashamon Bone], Wang Yuan immediately met with Mrs. Long Shao and her daughters.

Seeing the [Rashamon Bone] fail, he wasn’t too disappointed.

"I knew it wouldn’t be that easy. Even though I’ve fallen in realm, a Mage’s Yin God is still a Mage and exceeds the limits of the [Rashamon Bone]."

Then, he turned and looked at his two cousins with human upper bodies and snake tails, once again confirming what his little concubine had told him:

"Zisu, Hualing, once you decide, there’s no antidote for regret."

The sisters gave him a firm look in response.

They were very sensible since childhood and knew right from wrong; now was not the time for rebelliousness.

"Very well, it’ll be you two then."

Having just exited the dream, Wang Yuan used the [Exorcism and Disaster] on those sentenced to death by the judges and deployed the Stealing Fortune Technique.

He temporarily raised his Qi Fortune to the "Green Cloud Ascending" limit, a level imbued with purple within the blue.

He intended to first hold off Inverted Taoist by himself before summoning support, especially his big cousin Zhou Jinhuan and his [Long Water Camp].

A [Military Leader] from the fourth realm wielding the Ten Thousand Enemies Skill was already enough to kill a Mage of the same level.

But now there wasn’t a need to have him intervene anymore.

Wang Yuan lowered his eyelids and softly called:

"Please, [Water Official], take your place!"

Whoosh—!

The tree-like [Five Senses Altar City] unfurled overhead; cousins Zisu and Hualing hand in hand deployed the [Cloud Body Wind Body], they rushed into the black altar city.

The next moment the Five Senses combined, the brilliance magnified!

This was Long Shao’s plan.

Just like the Investiture of the Gods, those who had already ascended to immortality naturally avoided it for fear of it.

But if it were mortals living from dawn to dusk, facing an opportunity for a meteoric rise, they would probably burst out shouting: "Step aside, let me do it!" right?

The little concubine now had just this sentiment.

Having two at once wasn’t a problem; after all, titles like the Four Heavenly Kings hinted there were actually five people.

And since there were actually six [Five Senses], it was perfectly understandable.

As the Five Senses merged and the Daoist Skill completed, a ring of golden blue brilliance suddenly burst out from behind Wang Yuan’s head!

In the changing complexion of Inverted Taoist, Wang Yuan raised his hand high and chanted:

"Envoy of Five Thunders, Thunderbolt Capital Commander... Suspended Saint, Thunderclap. Facing the five sacred mountains, stabilizing Heaven and Earth. Defy and I shall sever your soul. Hurry like a decree!"

As the spell recitation commenced.

Thunderbolt Capital Commander, Thunder Order Master, Heavenly Thunder Grand Minister, Five Thunders Institute Envoy, Thunderclap Immortal, Fire Bell Immortal, Wind-Bearing Fierce Officer, Zhenwei God, Dianlei God, Five Thunder Bright Elder, Silver Teeth Fierce Officer...

One after another stately illusion of Thunder God began appearing behind Wang Yuan.

The sky overhead gradually became filled with dark clouds, with hidden flashes of lightning.

[Thunder Skill • Summoning Thunder Department]!

Indeed, only those capable of employing the thunderous technique reveal a Bodhisattva’s compassion!

The interweaving manipulation in the dream realm was after all just illusion; this was the real and undoubted power that truly belonged to Wang Yuan.

"Controlling Yin and Yang, summoning the Thunder Department! Strike down!"

Thunder Gods echoed the call in response.

Fall! Fall! Fall!...

Thunderous boom...

Fascinating lightning flashes turned Mirror Lake into a blaze of white before it suddenly overwhelmed an ill-fated, retreating Inverted Taoist!

In the end, Wang Yuan, within the realm of the Yin God, was able to counter-slay the first [Yellow Seal Mage], but it was clear this wouldn’t be the last!
