Chapter 330: Chapter 327: Falling Pearl Small Realm, King Yan Nods
Dushuo Mountain, underground catacombs.
"Aaaaahhh..."
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Two wildly different voices of frenzied wails, intermittently continued for half a month, finally quieted down completely today.
Wang Yuan and his entourage, who had been anxiously watching for half a month, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"These two are indeed worthy of being ones whose Daoist Skill has grown to form their own Heaven and Earth, the ’Green Seal Strange Immortals’.
Their resistance to the teachings of the ’Deceit Peach’ is truly incomparable to any Mage or Magician.
If they were in their right minds, maybe they really could have thought of a way to save themselves, leaving me with an empty basket of efforts."
"Fortunately, reality has no ’ifs’!
After all the trouble over so long, I’ve finally managed to completely eradicate ’emotions,’ the root cause of madness.
As your lead physician, I’m proud to announce that you have rid yourselves of the torment of madness and are completely cured!
Most importantly, please settle the medical bill with me first."
Wang Yuan looked up at Patient Number One on his left, ’Six Paths Ghost Dragon,’ and Patient Number Two on his right, ’Earth Mother Black Sky,’ both as still as wooden chickens, quite satisfied with their current state.
Previously, these two madmen, fighting over ’snacks,’ would not hesitate at the sight of such delectable ’Top Grade Flat Peaches,’ which are rarely seen even in several years.
Subconsciously, they ate the ’medicine bait’ Wang Yuan had liberally spiced up.
One ’Deceit Peach’ per person couldn’t kill them, of course, but essentially worked like the ’Headband’ spell in miraculous ways.
And there was no need to find an old monk to recite scriptures; it worked entirely on automatic operation.
Should they defy the teachings of the ’Withered Wood Zen Scripture,’ the intangible ’Heart-Eating Worm’ residing within them would teach them a lesson in humanity.
After half a month of relentless re-education, they finally underwent a spiritual castration.
And it was thorough.
The two Deceit Immortals had fallen into the supreme state of ’Withered Wood Zen,’ where the heart is dead as ashes, so there was no longer a need to worry about them being troubled by madness.
Of course, there was no concern for issues with their movement, speech, cognition, emotions, and so on.
Because they... most likely would never need them ever again.
At this moment, ’Six Paths Ghost Dragon’ and ’Earth Mother Black Sky’ were like two towering, giant statues.
Even seeing Wang Yuan’s arrival and hearing his words, they gave not the slightest reaction.
Even towards Wang Yuan, the very culprit who had reduced them to such a ghastly state, they couldn’t muster any sort of emotion from the bottom of their hearts.
Be it rage or sorrow, all was empty, there was nothing left!
"Hehe, if you don’t speak up, I’ll just have to take it myself."
Wang Yuan chuckled mischievously, sauntered past them with his hands behind his back, and made his way into the mostly ruined ’Peach God Palace.’
Walking behind him, dressed like a Qingyi maid, was Lady Peach Fairy, holding the ’Deceit Object·Money Box’ that could automatically pick up ownerless wealth, modest and deferential in her pace.
Her demeanor was dignified, her posture serene, stunningly beautiful.
Anyone who saw her would feel sympathetic.
Who could imagine that all of this was actually a result of the mischief concocted by this demoness?
Cling-clang...
Following the pathways within the divine palace and passing through various halls, sounds of tinkling continued to emerge from the ’Money Box.’
This Deceit Object, after constant upgrades, had increased its power to scavenge treasures, with an ever-expanding range.
Hearing such the most pleasant sound in the world, Wang Yuan and the family’s treasure manager, Lady Peach Fairy, couldn’t help but beam with joy.
In this ’Peach God Palace,’ even a random object picked up was considered an antique relic passed down from dynasty to dynasty.
The oldest could even be traced back to more than two thousand years ago, to the life of Emperor Mu from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Any piece, handed to someone who knew its worth, was priceless.
Other timeless treasures of gold, silver, and jewels were also countless.
Compared to Emperor Mu, who had been accumulating for more than a thousand years, the looted houses Wang Yuan hit before such as ’Luoyang Royal Mansion,’ Prime Minister Xue’s mansion, ’Penglai Immortal Island,’ and so on, were completely junior in stature!
"Now, as the situation within the Great Yan Realm shifts unpredictably, and Dengzhou Prefecture has newly acquired a ’black hole of military provisions’ like the five battalions of Daoist Soldiers and a ’Martial Saint’ Pei Yulou,
it is utterly unrealistic to sustain such a level of military force with the output of a single prefecture, no matter how prosperous Dengzhou’s sea trade is.
Now that I’ve also acquired a rising potential, Su Guyun, with a force waiting to be fed under my command,
this windfall truly solves my pressing needs. What a pity..."
Wang Yuan looked back at the two ’sculptures’ sitting on the ground, especially the ’Lifebound Magic Treasure·Six Paths Golden Wheel’ held in the chest of ’Six Paths Ghost Dragon.’
Normally, Magicians from different paths who do not conform to the same Daoist Skill can’t use the Magic Treasures of another lineage.
But the Old Master Wang, possessing the ’Root Skill’ of Yin Mountain Taoism, ’Earthly Que Golden Book,’ is different.
To use the ’Six Paths Golden Wheel,’ based on the ’Six Paths Reincarnation Skill,’ is said to be effortless.
Unfortunately, Emperor Mu, who was mad before, is now just foolish and not dead yet.
’Lifebound Magic Treasures’ are the foundation of the second realm of Yellow Seal, ’Earth Essence,’ serving as the vehicle for Dao, also denoting the ’Earth’ in "Heaven follows the Dao, the Dao follows nature."
They play a pivotal role in bridging above and below.
To snatch such an item would be simpler to just kill Emperor Mu outright.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The pair advanced rapidly on a golden-cyan Escape Light, not sparing any corner of the Peach God Palace from their thorough search, no matter how utterly collapsed.
Just as they were both exceedingly thrilled about the two golden pillars they had harvested in the main hall, preparing to head to the back palace to look further,
Lady Peach Fairy suddenly exclaimed,
"Dharma Master, look there, it’s that ’Weird·Dragon Descendant’!
Earlier, it was hit by ’Earth Mother Black Sky’s Buddha light and it still hasn’t died."
Lifting their eyes, they saw the creature formed from the combination of dragon, ox, and tree, rifling through the broken structures, gnawing on the corpses crushed to death within.
That day at the Dragon Gate Inn, Wang Yuan would have been eaten by that strange creature if not for his superb acting skills.
But now, upon seeing it again, the creature’s bulky body as big as a small mountain was half vaporized by the Buddha light, leaving only its skeletal frame, and the nine ropes adorned with human heads were nowhere to be found.
Even the aura that was once comparable to the peak of the Yellow Seal Realm had plummeted by half, and was now at best equivalent to the Dharma Body Realm.
This was the injury it sustained on the day of the great battle between the "Six Dao Ghost Dragon" and "Earth Mother Dark Sky".
While it and a group of demons and deceitful monsters were raiding for Emperor Mu, it was hit casually by the Earth Mother Dark Sky.
The other deceitful monsters had long since become part of Earth Mother Dark Sky.
Only this strongest Dragon Descendant was lucky enough to escape the calamity.
Without a doubt, we must deal with it!
Kick it while it’s down!
However, Wang Yuan did not make a move himself.
Instead, he took a step back, leaving behind a tall figure that gradually took form where he had stood.
With a face like black jade, clad in a cloud-patterned royal robe, and a stature standing one zhang tall, he was in no way inferior to the Dragon Descendant’s original size.
Roar——!
Faced with the Dragon Descendant that had also noticed them and was instinctively charging towards them rapidly, Yama’s Avatar seemed to have no intention of confronting it head-on.
Instead, Yama’s Avatar formed the Meridian Technique with his left hand held vertically against his chest and gave a deep bow to the deceitful creature.
It was the gesture of bowing customary in the Cultivation World.
For some unknown reason, after receiving Yama’s Avatar’s slight bow, the Dragon Descendant suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill spreading relentlessly from the bottom of its heart.
Feeling a deadly crisis, it paused briefly, then accelerated directly towards them.
But Yama’s Avatar remained unfazed, motionless, continuing to bow a second and third time directly at it.
Bang!
The next moment, the Dragon Descendant, which had received three bows, suddenly collapsed mid-charge, falling paralyzed.
It had died on the spot!
Yet its body kept rolling forward out of inertia, sliding to Wang Yuan’s feet.
Yama’s Three Bows, also known as Yama’s Three Nods!
As long as the enemy’s realm and stature were inferior to Wang Yuan’s, they could not withstand these three direct bows from King Yama.
It was an ability akin to the immediate death trait of the "Weird" category.
Of course, to be immune to such instant death powers was not difficult; one only had to turn to the side and could avoid harm completely.
At this time, following the death of the Dragon Descendant, the "Money Box" made another sound.
It seemed that it had also obtained something good from it.
Wang Yuan hurried to open the "Money Box", looked inside, and found what seemed to be a large strand of lustrous pearls, each as big as a thumb and totaling twenty-four.
Upon focusing his consciousness into them, he found that the pearls seemed to contain a vast expanse of sea.
Twenty-four islands, large and small, were spread within like scattered pearls, with the azure sea, blue sky, and white sandy beaches—it was an overwhelmingly beautiful sight.
Wang Yuan’s eyes immediately sparkled with a brilliant light.
This was a "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth · Falling Pearl Small Realm" which, just like the "Lotus Court Small Realm" owned by Su Guyun, originated from the legacy after the fall of a Sage!
"I’ve struck it rich! Struck it rich!
Emperor Mu really was wealthy. After years of operations in the East Sea, what he collected amounted to more than mere worldly gold and silver.
This Falling Pearl Small Realm is most likely from a Great Demon of the Green Seal Realm somewhere in the deep sea.
Whether it was slain by Emperor Mu or acquired by chance, it has ultimately fallen into my hands.
Even if the Daoist methods do not match and it cannot be used for dueling like Su Guyun’s, it can still serve as a portable Cave Mansion.
’Invaluable’ doesn’t even begin to describe the worth of this treasure."
Just as Wang Yuan was about to reach out and take a closer look, snap! snap!...
The "Money Box" shut its lid and devoured this treasure, which matched its Daoist Skill, leaving nothing behind.
Before the now pale-faced Wang Yuan could explode with rage,
clatter clatter...
The biography about the "Money Box" in the "Small Book of Life and Death" suddenly changed.
Suppressing his rage, Wang Yuan and Lady Peach Fairy stepped forward to look, and their anger turned to joy.
The original abilities: 1. Gathering Treasure; 2. Life-Saving Money; 3. Selling Life Money; had all received enhancements of varying degrees.
But the most significant change was to "Ability Four, Deceit Market".
"With the ’Money Box’ as the core, unfold a phantom Deceit Market, a place of fair trade, deceiving neither old nor young.
The book owner can extract a transaction tax from the Deceit Market, which can take the form of money, tangible objects, Yin Morality, lifespan, Essence Qi... etc., but the specific amount will be determined by the Deceit Market according to the principle of fairness.
All those who violate the rules, known as ’Cheaters’, will face penalties depending on the severity of the violation, ranging from ’expulsion’ to ’heavy taxation’ to ’being consumed’.
Those who are consumed will forever become part of the Deceit Market, even a Dharma Body level ’Yellow Seal Mage’ cannot resist this rule."
The number of portals that could be opened had increased, and apart from the "Money Box" being able to open doors at any time,
The "Deceit Market" could now open up to thirty-six portals at once, up from six!
The radius of influence also expanded from the original three hundred li to three thousand li now!
As long as the body of the "Money Box" remained in Yu State or Dai State, it could cover parts of the territories of Tanhuan and Moluo across the sea.
And the "Cloud Tower Ghost Market" was no longer a mere intangible entity; it had a real foundation now.
It was possible to develop more functional areas within it.
"This...."
Old Master Wang and Manager Tao looked at each other and saw the flickering glint of gold in each other’s eyes.
They saw not just the "Deceit Market", but the rising... cross-border commercial empire of their very own!
