Chapter 301: Chapter 298: Intercepting Halfway, One Person Half

Time had swiftly advanced to the next morning.

However, the skies above the five mass graves remained densely covered with dark clouds, with distant thunder rumbling and the sky pitch black, making it nearly impossible to see one’s own fingers.

The thick clouds, like a gigantic lid, firmly smothered the entire camp underneath.

The "Human Nest Plague Furnace" continued to wail piteously, and the skin-stripping "Plague Demons" within their bellies feasted upon their flesh and grew to about the size of rats.

The thick, lingering stench of decay around the pits grew increasingly suffocating.

Staying here for long enough made Wang Yuan feel a terrifying illusion, as if he had been marinated in the smell himself.

"We can’t wait any longer. The fatality rate of a common rat plague can reach between thirty to fifty percent, the longer we delay, the more powerful this ’plague bomb’ becomes.

We have only a short day left before the Promotion Ceremony, we must act before tonight!"

Luckily for Wang Yuan, whose lucky stars were shining, an opportunity presented itself before noon.

Seizing the moment when a group of Demons and Ghosts, who had preserved their bodies from the ’Heavenly Girl’, were scattered on patrol following orders,

he decisively slipped away and, aided by the "Water Official" Zisu and the sisters Hualing’s "Innate Divine Ability: Wind Body Cloud Body," stealthily entered the North Sea from an unnoticed corner.

Clear water is shallow, green water is deep, and black water is abyssal.

Though it was merely a large lake, the water of the North Sea was extremely deep, at least two hundred zhang deep, pitch black as if it led directly to an endless netherworld abyss.

Diving deeper stirred an inevitable dread, fearing whether some ravenous behemoth in the dark depths might be staring intently at oneself.

Wang Yuan had already sent a Yin Soul ahead to scout the area.

Following another batch of drifting Yin Souls from above the water’s surface, the route was quite familiar to him.

Moving through the water as fast as flying, using the Water Escape Technique, he soon sensed, through Daoist Skill, that he was at the true site of Luofeng Mountain—the real grounds of "Earth Mother Black Sky."

Lurking beneath the waters and looking from a distance, the mountain seemed just a dark, small mountain range, not rising higher than thirty zhang.

But appearances can be deceptive.

Luofeng Mountain cspans around thirty thousand li and rises two thousand six hundred li high. The Cave Heaven of six palaces encircles ten thousand li and stands equally high. The six palaces of Cave Heaven serve as the abode for the six Ghost Gods.

Though Luofeng Mountain is not counted among the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and its dimensions slightly exaggerated in books, it houses a Cave Heaven world similar to Taishan’s "Mangxuan Cave Heaven."

That was Wang Yuan’s actual destination.

Unfortunately, any Yin Soul that entered lost its sensorial connection, and even now he didn’t know what truly lay inside.

"Someone’s coming!"

The Snake Demon sisters, thriving like fish in water since entering the North Sea, just alerted Wang Yuan.

Suddenly, two figures appeared at the forefront of the group of Yin Souls.

Their delicate features, ruby lips, and porcelain noses along with their moist skin, based solely on appearances, were not outdone by those beautiful Heavenly Girls who performed the "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance."

But everything below their necks was somewhat hard to look at directly.

Each stood eight zhang tall and wide, could accommodate a person on a fist, and a horse could run on their arm, their bodies from neck to ankles filled with intimidating masculine vigor.

Anyone would uncontrollably admit... they were truly formidable women!

Their voices were as deep and booming as thunder when they spoke,

"Line up properly for grandma here, all you little ghosts thinking about escaping Luofeng Mountain won’t avoid going down to Hell.

If you mess with Earth Mother’s big plan, I will make him know what it means to suffer a fate worse than death!"

Speaking, their fists, large as cooking pots, suddenly clenched, vaporizing the flowing water into a gigantic bubble that surged towards the surface.

The Ghosts were so frightened that they fell utterly silent, not daring to act out again.

Shortly after, the two unfurled black and white "Dharma Lights" over the few dozen Yin Souls, enveloping them before they spun and dashed towards the dark mountain range.

They vanished in an instant.

Clearly, they had already entered the real Luofeng Mountain.

Wang Yuan cautiously approached the spot where they had just disappeared, extending his hand to feel around, yet touching nothing.

But his spiritual sense clearly told him that the "Earth Gate" was right here.

Undoubtedly, just as "Mangxuan Cave Heaven" has a large persimmon tree—Duke Shi as its gateway, entering Luofeng Mountain also required meeting certain conditions.

"Luofeng Mountain has been occupied by ’Earth Mother Black Sky’ for many years, transforming it into her own Taoist site, no longer retaining the original state of the Ghost Path.

Instead, it has been contaminated by the powers of Strange Immortals, presenting entirely new rules."

After the Magician performs Enlightenment on "True Qi," his True Qi would carry the Magician’s principles and knowledge, bearing distinctive personal impressions.

It allows the Magician to gradually have some characteristics of transmitting and permeating personal knowledge through "Deceit" and "Deceit Objects."

Using one’s own "True Qi," you can refine (contaminate) talisman paper, ores, treasures, spiritual medicines, and magic artifacts... achieving various extraordinary effects.

Upon promotion to Mage, the "Mana" transformed from "True Qi" would have its effects enhanced by tens to hundreds of times.

For someone like "Earth Mother Black Sky," who has reached the "Dharma Image" phase and seemingly only a small realm away from becoming a Corpse Dissection Immortal like the "Green Seal Strange Immortal," her contamination is even more terrifying.

She could easily assimilate the spiritual messages of a place, adding various rules beneficial to herself within her own Dharma Domain.

Even cultivators higher in realm who come here would find themselves countered by the entire Dharma Domain, with their Taoist skills greatly diminished.

And those of lower realms who come here would have no choice but to strictly adhere to the rules set by the other party; there is simply no other way to bend them.

Even failing to abide by those rules means not even entering the Dharma Domain.

As for what these rules are?

One only needs to look at those two recently seen "beauties" who seemed like mighty men, acting as Divine Envoys."

Although far inferior to the "Dual Body Dharma Form" of the Strange Immortal, he had still cultivated a very unique "Yin Yang Dharma Body," in which the Yin and Yang energies were extremely balanced within him.

This allowed him to freely enter and exit Luofeng Mountain, and to receive a significant blessing within the Dharma Domain of the "Dark Heaven of Earth Mother."

Upon first seeing them, Wang Yuan also finally understood why, just before departure, the Great Fate had said that "Yin Yang Heart Bell" would become a key boost.

"Ability, Yin Yang Union, Yin Yang Shift:

Allows the holders of the two bells to merge temporarily, gaining a significant boost, with the best fusion effect at the same realm;

Yin Yang Shift can fundamentally reverse one’s Yin and Yang, making it hard to distinguish between divine and strange (can be reversed back)."

Wang Yuan had some difficulty swallowing his saliva.

Because they had been interrupted earlier, they had not been able to experiment with the effects of "Yin Yang Union" in advance.

At this moment, seeing those two majestic Divine Envoys "with pearlescent beauty before them," they could only steel themselves and proceed.

"Sister!"

"I know."

Within the "Five Senses Altar City," the "Yin Yang Heart Bell" on Huang Wu’s ankle trembled slightly, instantly splitting in two, hanging a bell on each of the jade-white bone rings.

The light flashed again, and the green and red bells respectively hung on the ankles of their "Yin God."

Then, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu interlocked their fingers, and both chanted in their hearts simultaneously:

"Yin Yang Union!"

A circle of green and red radiance emanated from the two bells, wrapping them up like a cocoon instantaneously.

The couple’s heartbeats gradually synchronized, and at the moment they perfectly matched, the Yin God suddenly transformed into light and fiercely merged in the middle.

It felt as though electricity was crackling inside and outside their bodies, and they instantly blended together like water and milk.

Wang Yuan heard Huang Wu emit almost uncontrollably a soft moan by his ears, and he himself felt as refreshed as eating a sour and sweet ice watermelon on a hot summer day.

It was ten times more intense than any physical union they had experienced before.

Addictive.

Looking at their external bodies, although the face combined the best features of both of them, dazzlingly beautiful, the body was still in line with Wang Yuan’s aesthetic.

Full of a "Little Vajra" sentiment, more majestic than those two Divine Envoys.

While the Yin and Yang energies flowed back and forth within him, he finally achieved complete balance.

He couldn’t afford to explore the new abilities gained in this state.

Suppressing the strange sensation of complete empathy with Huang Wu and the indescribable tingling at the bottom of his heart, Wang Yuan leaped forward and jumped into Luofeng Mountain, filled with dark mountains, waters, and rocks.

The "Divine Tao Talisman" on him and the balanced Yin and Yang energies both exerted their strength, granting him the same treatment as those Divine Envoys.

By this time, Wang Yuan, through the "Rashamon Bone," wholesale plundered the "Qi Fortune" of the "God" and related tribal.

After unknowingly killing countless Naiman People, his Qi Fortune had for the first time crossed the threshold of "Purple Qi Comes from the East."

Sufficient to influence even those in the Sage Realm.

He walked confidently towards the pitch-black mountain peak where the "Earth Gate" stood, not questioned by anyone along the way.

Standing before that gate, encircled by hundreds of lifelike ghost and demon reliefs, the "Earthly Que Golden Book" intensely resonated within him, turbulent and overwhelming.

The "Earth Gate" appeared to be earnestly inviting Wang Yuan, the Taoist Master of the "Yin Mountain Taoism," and King Yama to return to their homeland, to descend into Hell.

But as an old saying goes,

I’ll just rub around the outside; I won’t go in...

Splash...

The next moment, the "Abyssal Dharma Body" suddenly unfolded and then snugly clicked into the door frame of the "Earth Gate."

Then with a "click," it cleverly embedded there, perfectly aligned through the intrinsic Taoism of both the "Earthly Que Golden Book" and the "Earth Gate."

Flawless, without any imperfection.

Even if the "Dark Heaven of Earth Mother" possessed the powers of "Death" and "Reincarnation," how could it compare to Wang Yuan, this "dear son" of the Earthly Yin World?

To grant the authority to open the door to such a bane of her own heavenly realm was already good enough, but how could she discern the real from the fake?

A couple of moments later.

Just as another wave of Yin Souls passed through the "Earth Gate" into reincarnation, it seemed like someone shouted in his ear:

"Next stop... San Tu River, twenty-one VIPs, the old man is out to welcome the guests!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!...

Half of them went straight into the San Tu River.

They bewilderedly saw an old man, a smoking pipe in his mouth and a copy of the "Brocade Bed Chronicles" tucked at his waist, rowing a boat toward them,

revealing an extremely compassionate smile.

The other half fell into the "Extraction of Intestines and Punishment of the Heart Prison" beneath Yama Palace.

Digging hearts and pulling intestines, showcasing the impermanence of life, large intestines wrapping small intestines...

It was commendable;

that the ratio of the division this time was unprecedentedly two adding to five, split halfway, Old Master Wang’s filial piety was truly moving!

Because of this, his True Qi surged endlessly, and his "Dual Realm Dharma Body" finally began to break through!
