Chapter 380: Chapter 377: Shearing the Wool of the No-Life Dao

On the fifteenth of June, a bright moon hung high in the sky.

The sky was cloudless for thousands of miles, and the pale moonlight poured down like mercury, draping Yunjing City in a cloak of silver.

Unfortunately, even the brightest moonlight could not penetrate the increasingly thick tribulation energy accumulating above Wang Yuan’s head, resembling a dark cloud.

In the northwest corner of Yunjing City, atop a tall corner tower resembling a small mountain.

A white jade altar, thirty-six silver mirrors inscribed with talisman spells, interwoven red threads, and ancient copper bells... together formed a miniature ritual array.

Huang Wu knelt on one leg atop the white jade altar.

She wore a golden phoenix hairpin with nine tassels hanging from it, her eyebrows and eyes gentle, her features as exquisite as a painting.

Bright moonlight interwove above her head into a slightly hazy veil embroidered with a silver phoenix.

She wore a Luan robe, primarily red, embroidered with nine golden phoenixes chasing eight different silver moon phases:

—New moon, crescent moon, first quarter moon, gibbous moon, full moon, disseminating moon, last quarter moon, waning crescent moon.

This was the true appearance of a "Ghost Bride" in bridal attire.

This time, their plan to reduce the tribulation energy was primarily focused on her.

"Promotion Ceremony - Taiyin Refining Form": Sitting in meditation from death to life, then from life to death, enduring the eight celestial moon phases for an entire month.

It seems not very difficult, but actually, the most challenging part of this promotion ceremony is—"attracting outer demons"!

The Taiyin Corpse Transformation Seal’s two core foundational abilities are:

One, "Moon in the Water and Flower in the Mirror," which can invade dreams, manipulate a person’s dreams and senses at will, weave nightmares or beautiful dreams, and reflect the damage into reality.

Two, "Taiyin Refining Form," which can aid the growth of ghosts and demons, and even massively induce ordinary animals to become spiritual beings (Chapter 174).

Therefore, during this month, she was akin to "Tang Monk’s flesh" in the eyes of all demons and ghosts.

Within a certain territorial range, all "Weird" beings lacking humanity and self-awareness are irresistibly attracted to her.

They rush towards her like moths to a flame, recklessly attacking.

Eating her would be no less effective than consuming a top-grade Purple Pattern Peach.

Of course, for Huang Wu, the greater the intensity of the weird uprising, the more benefits she would receive after eliminating these creatures and ascending to Yellow Seal.

And the reason for choosing the edge of Yunjing City

was because of the imposing "Dragon Qi Prohibition" and those soldiers who had pledged allegiance to the "No-Life Dao"; they were her most reliable shields and scapegoats!

Outside the ritual array, Wang Yuan’s body was seated on the ground, protecting her.

He had already used the Human Dao Relic "Nine Dragon Nine Phoenix Crown" to steal a portion of the Dynasty’s dragon energy.

He had activated "Sacrificial Technique - Harmonizing with the Dust," which even Green Seal Sage couldn’t detect unless he examined closely,

allowing the two of them to completely disappear from others’ sight.

Even though there was a barracks housing hundreds of soldiers right below this corner tower, not a single soldier or officer could detect their presence.

At this time, the Dynasty’s Dragon Energy was issued in multiple streams: great in size but not strong.

Although it was still the most terrifying poison for evil heretics and Side Door magicians,

to those beings of a certain level, it was clearly nothing more than a fattened pig ripe for slaughter.

Among those who had the right to share in the spoils was Wang Yuan, a person of profound merit who had achieved the "Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Although the ’Six Desires Mortal Dao’ is deeply ingrained in the folk professions and its potential strength is unfathomable,

Zhou Xinglou and Xue Jiexi, who have defected to the ’No-Life Dao’ within the city, have deep roots after many years of operation in both military and political spheres of Great Yan.

But this ’Dragon Qi Prohibition’ is my greatest reliance!

The ’No-Life Dao’ has gone to great lengths to forcibly conscript warlords into the capital and has greatly promoted them, gathering the Dragon Qi Prohibition and the essence of the entire nation. How could they possibly be doing good deeds?

Seeing that the Dynasty’s Dragon Energy is about to collapse, if I don’t shear such fat sheep, would I still be human?"

Wang Yuan opened his Dharma Eyes and looked up at the increasingly bloated multi-headed golden dragon above the Imperial City, a sly smile on his face.

Yin Morality is a heavenly reward, a blessing that comes from Heavenly People Perception; Human Willpower comes from Human Dao, and together they constitute the Unity of Heaven and Man, causing the "Merit Golden Wheel" to undergo a qualitative change.

First, merit surrounds him; second, revered by all people; third, born as a human.

These three conditions together prove that he will neither harm this realm of Heaven and Earth nor injure the living.

Thus, in this Dragon Qi Prohibition, the last defense against all "Weird" entities, he can move about freely and do as he pleases.

Even if a saint who has won the hearts of the entire world does not sit upon the Dynasty Dragon Court, he could still receive the full support of the "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

He might well be likened to a living "Heavenly Official" on Earth.

Of course, by rights, Huang Wu is currently in ghost form and does not meet the third condition.

But when Wang Yuan unfolded the ten "Merit Golden Wheels" behind his head.

The Merit Golden Light illuminated a hundred yards, and naturally, nothing was a problem.

Today just happened to be the night of the full moon on June 15th.

The promotion ceremony began today and would continue until the Ghost Festival on July 15 when the Ghost Gate would open wide; it also marked Wang Yuan’s birthday, forming a complete cycle of the full moon and the waning moon.

This would ensure that for an entire month, no matter how many Weird creatures came near Yunjing City, their first target would always be Huang Wu!

"Aren’t you planning to sit securely in Yunjing City, using the fishing terrace strategy while letting the demons and ghosts outside put on a consuming show?"

"I hope that when the Weird siege the city and swarm in, cutting off inside from outside, you’ll still be able to laugh."

Seeing the moon reach mid-sky, Wang Yuan nodded at Huang Wu.

She, understanding his gesture, specifically looked up to the sky to make sure that no rabbit with blood-stained lips would suddenly jump down from the full moon to bite her.

Although the intuition of Doumu Taiyin assured her that only on August 15, when the Power of Taiyin was at its peak, would the adversary be able to leave the moon and pursue her.

Now, seizing the time to advance was also partly a preparation to face the imminent pursuit of the Moon Essence Jade Rabbit.

At this moment, demons and ghosts, Singing Rhyme Child, Moon Essence Jade Rabbit, Human Dao transformation ... all chased them closely like fierce beasts ready to devour their prey.

Those slightly slower would immediately shatter into pieces.

After calming her emotions, Huang Wu spewed out the Green Phoenix Treasure Pearl from within her body.

With a flash of green light, her pure white corpse, which looked like clear jade, landed on the Dharma Altar.

Nurtured day and night by this pearl dependent on Her Heart Blood, even after sixteen years, the corpse still had tender skin and appeared life-like, as if merely asleep.

Huang Wu and Wang Yuan began to work together.

Holding the best talismanic pen from the Medium Grade in the Deceit Market, dipped in pre-mixed Spiritual Liquid, they covered the corpse from head to toe with the Taiyin Corpse Transformation Seal.

Hu—!

With a burst of chilling wind, Huang Wu’s Yin God suddenly rushed back into her own corpse.

Because it was only the girl’s meat body that had died years ago, the Soul had not completely perished but grew stronger with the cultivation of the Taiyin Moonlight Technique.

Thus, still nourishing the bones with three souls and protecting the flesh with seven spirits, a trace of true spirit was always lucid!

It was the Taiyin Refining Body, its complexion like spiritual clouds.

Then, after a long sigh, this corpse reopened its eyes for the first time in sixteen years.

Huang Wu formed a mantra with her hands, chanting solemnly:

"Not yet ascended, shadowy visions to the mundane, temporarily entering Taiyin ...

Nine truths summoning the soul, Taiyi guarding the corpse, the three essentials protecting the Qi, Taishang capturing the soul. Bones enduring, internal organs unperished. Able to die, able to live, capable of Yin and Yang. Emerging from the void into nothingness, life sprouting from Heaven and Earth ..."

Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

At the end of the chant, all the windows in the Corner Tower burst open simultaneously, and cascading moonlight poured down, shining on her body, pure as white jade.

The first patch of flesh on her forearm slowly began to dissolve, starting with the skin, then the fascia, the flesh, and finally revealing the delicate bones.

At the same time, a heart that had been silent for sixteen years began to beat again, and stagnant blood flowed once more.

The Moonlight-like Taiyin Light emerged through her body.

The Dharma Body is a clear mirror, reflecting the nature of the Mage’s Daoist Skill, and also the foundation of the Mage’s cultivation of various techniques.

As Huang Wu’s true appearance, this forming Dharma Body.

Would continue to dissolve and regenerate with the change of the moon phase until it transitions from Yin to Yang, and from Yang back to Yin, ultimately achieving a Taiyin Mirror Dharma Body!

At the same time.

An imperceptible, invisible ripple, with her body as the center, suddenly spread outward at a rapid pace.

Passing through states and counties, causing all the Weird creatures within hundreds of miles to, in an instant, abruptly turn their heads towards the direction of Yunjing City.

In a small village just thirty miles outside the western suburbs of Yunjing City.

Unknownst to when, between the husbands, wives, brothers, children, and elders living here, it seemed as if the last shred of kinship had disappeared.

Ethical relations collapsed completely; over a bun, a leaf of cabbage, or even just a verbal dispute, they fought fiercely.

Sounds of arguments, snatching, and killing ... echoed to the skies.

In the village were three men of identical appearance and three identical children, wandering willfully from one household to another.

Wherever they went, that household immediately turned against their kin, axes and knives clashing, brewing a blood-stained tragedy of human relations.

This was precisely the Weird transformation of triplet sons and their father after their deaths — "Unrecognizing Kin"!

Any family they entered was destined to face disruption, brothers turning against each other, father and son becoming enemies, causing trouble within the walls...

While other Weird entities harm only one person, these would harm an entire family, leaving not a single survivor.

Felling the alluring wave, these six entities immediately took the lead among their kind, rushing towards Yunjing City.
