Chapter 397: Chapter 394: The "Killing Banquet" Outside of the Timeline!
The faint scent of sandalwood lingered in the White Sun World, where a glimmer of bright dawn light flashed briefly over a mountain peak.
"It has finally come to the fifteenth of August!"
When Wang Yuan pushed open the "door," what lay beyond was not the Imperial Garden, but the interior of the Three Yang Small Realm.
Embodying a future where the bright and dark each had their place, this White Sun World was also the ideal White Sun Era as envisioned by the No-Life Dao!
He beheld below, precious towers and honored seats, sacred places known by name; valleys filled with complex natural melodies, tranquil realms dispersing heavenly fragrances.
Rain-draped pines shield lofty pavilions, while lingering clouds protect the bamboo-surrounded lecture halls. Red lacquer and jade doors, ornate beams and painted rafters. The air is full of incense during discussions of scripture, the moonlight accompanying the murmur of prayers. Birds call within vermilion trees, cranes drink by stone springs.
Indeed, this was a land where the mundane world did not intersect with the True Immortal Realm, a still earth that made an excellent ground for cultivating the Dao.
The Mortal World’s version of paradise seemingly couldn’t be more than this.
In comparison, Beimang Mountain’s Blessed Land, which started from scratch, could only be described as a "humble abode."
If followers were recruited with the promise that this landscape was the Dragon Flower Meeting they’d reach after death—
No one would doubt it in the slightest.
They would even scramble to donate all their possessions to the No-Life Dao, fearlessly facing death if only to transcend life sooner.
Back when Wang Yuan secretly observed this realm from the outside, invoking the "Gods watch over us from just three feet above,"
He had already noticed that the scale of this Three Yang Small Realm far surpassed any ordinary Inner Scene Heaven and Earth.
It wasn’t until he stood here that he confirmed that the White Sun World alone was at least the size of several counties.
The three worlds of Green Sun, Red Sun, and White Sun combined could match a prefecture’s worth of land, most likely not the legacy of an ordinary Green Seal Sage.
It wouldn’t be a stretch to believe it was left by someone on the brink of the Corpse Dissection Realm, just a step shy of becoming a Corpse Dissection Immortal.
Gazing at this excellent place, where at least seven or eight Immortal Mansion projects could be grounded, Old Master Wang had only two words echoing in his mind:
"Want it!"
What a pity, though Red Lotus, Qing Yezi, and Yu Jiezi combined their Daoist powers, their authority was still lower than Su Guyun’s, and much lower than his.
However, their collective Taoist abilities far surpassed his own.
Moreover, who knows how many years these people have spent refining this fundamental treasure of the Three Yang Sect.
Usurping it overnight was completely unrealistic.
Nonetheless, for Wang Yuan to temporarily create an unnoticed "backdoor" to communicate with the outside world and even to bring reinforcements in, was as easy as flipping his hand.
With a flick of his fingers and a sharp command, he said:
"Hurry!"
Behind his head, a flare of Dharma Light flickered, and three lotus flowers—gold, white, and black—twinkled briefly as a new identity and authority were inscribed into the foundational rules of the Three Yang Small Realm.
Utilizing the Three Yang Small Realm as a medium, a signal prearranged was sent out in the form of a Talisman Light Decree.
The person holding the decree could travel unhindered within both the One Day Prison Heavenly Array and the Three Yang Small Realm.
"Going undercover to this extent should count as fulfilment of duty, right?
The master of Divine Transformation, the epitome of mages... Wine Star Lord Du Sanbei, fulfilling the last command of the Great Fate."
"This time, I always feel the Nine Soldiers’ response is somewhat peculiar.
Now that even this nearly calamitous One Day Prison Heavenly Array has appeared, and the Great Fate has consistently shown no intention of dealing with the No-Life Dao in advance,
Instead, he allows them to gather forces and population, as if deliberately waiting for something.
Speaking of which, Sister Ruan wouldn’t be hiding something from us, scared that we, the undercover agents, would be scared off, would she?"
Having reached this stage, Wang Yuan looked back at the events of the past month or two with a hint of suspicion in his mind.
And what could possibly occupy the months-long, patient schemes of a Corpse Dissection Immortal could only be...
"The No-Life Buddha? Surely not... right?!"
Old Master Wang, who danced with fire and waded through water, crafting maneuvers as cunning as a monkey’s, guessed nearly the whole truth even though the riddle was yet unsolved.
Thump! Thump! Thump!...
His heart beat faster than the Jade Mansion Thunder Pivot for an instant.
Looking up at the series of temples not far ahead,
Wang Yuan immediately turned and transformed into a handsome young monk clad in moon-white robes with a golden lotus hovering atop his head.
His aura, too, suddenly dropped to the True Qi Realm, not out of place within the Three Yang Small Realm.
With trepidation, he flipped open the Small Book of Life and Death, cursing under his breath about the Great Fate’s betrayal and lack of loyalty, while preparing to rewrite his own biography.
"It’s right ahead, I just saw a three-colored treasure light flash here!"
"This Three Yang Small Realm has been passed down in our Three Yang Sect for nearly two thousand years; there might be treasures left by our predecessors!"
"That’s right, let’s hurry. It’s hard enough to get some rest without having to guard the One Day Prison Heavenly Array.
Let’s not let other Tao Lineages snatch what could be ours."
Noisy voices suddenly arose from the foot of the mountain, and in just a few breaths, three monks rode the fierce wind and swiftly surged to the top.
Upon seeing Wang Yuan, they first froze, then pointing at him, they barked fiercely:
"Which branch’s disciple are you?
Don’t you know the Three Yang Small Realm belongs to our Three Yang Sect? All treasures here are ours.
If you know what’s good for you, hand over any treasures on you!"
While speaking, the three monks, each in the Red Seal Realm, surrounded Wang Yuan.
The greed in their eyes was impossible to conceal.
They even contemptuously thought that among the No-Life Dao contingents from the north, gathering for half a year, there were still such fools daring to be alone?
Today, not only would they claim treasures, but they would also devour his life-bound lotus seed!
The three nodded to each other in a signal.
Above their heads, dozens of fierce and blazing golden lotuses suddenly rose, their flame light linking into a single mass—likely even a common Yin God realm cultivator would find it difficult to gain an advantage against them.
Seeing their arrival, Wang Yuan’s face showed not shock but pleasure:
"Ha, the timing of your arrival couldn’t be better."
He simply reached out towards them and randomly grabbed at the air.
When he reopened his palm, there were three golden lotus seeds, each fully formed with eyes and eyebrows, resembling each of the three men.
Plop!
In place, three bodies collapsed to the ground with huge bloody holes in their chests, their eyes wide open in death.
In front of Wang Yuan, who had access to a higher level of authority in the No-Life Daoist Skill, the three experts didn’t stand a chance to resist.
Wang Yuan casually popped the lotus seeds into his mouth, crunching them down as if they were sugar beans.
"Eh?"
His eyes immediately brightened.
This was the first time he had consumed a disciple of the No-Life Dao since his achievement of the Three Holes Dharma Body.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that these Lifebound Lotus Seeds, carefully nurtured by the deviant paths of the No-Life Dao, even allowed his Divine Skill, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, to grow slightly.
As for the specific benefits, he would probably need to consume a few more before he could tell.
At this time, the Small Book of Life and Death had reconnected with the outside world through the array.
After filling in the missing information from the last two days, the pages continued to flip.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Yuan outlined the seventh persona beneath his own biography:
Bookkeeper Geng: Golden Cicada
Role: a true disciple of the No-Life Dao’s Three Yang Sect, the younger martial brother of Master Red Lotus, Qing Yezi, and Yu Jiezi...
Ah, that sort who could openly inherit everything once they were all dead.
He understood how to wear different personas!
His aura changed instantly, and combined with the Daoist Skills of the Three Holes Dharma Body, he was flawless.
If the No-Life Dao could use their "Time" power to harm him, he could just as well use the "Reincarnation" power of the Small Book of Life and Death to harm them.
At this moment, not counting his Nine Soldiers merit, Wang Yuan’s account of Yin Morality had already reached 1,020,000.
Spending fifty or sixty thousand Yin Morality to create a new identity was as simple as splashing water for him.
Now, what troubled him was, after running through the future ten Heavenly Stems "Jia Yi Bing Ding Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Gui," what should he use next?
However, when the memories of the three men surged from the depths of his heart, his expression suddenly changed:
"Not good! The Killing Banquet is about to start ahead of time? And it’s going to start with the execution of Yunjing City’s serious offenders from the Heavenly Prison, as well as those captives from the Green Sun World?"
He suddenly looked up.
He saw that the last remaining white sun that had been motionless above the Jade Ruyi burst into Buddha light in an instant, enveloping the entire One Day Prison Heavenly Array.
At the same time, inside the Three Yang Small Realm, countless voices chanted in unison:
"The first establishes the breath!"
"The second generates life with the breath!"
"The third creates all things!"
"The fourth births light!"
"Qingyun opens the Life Gate, auspicious smoke seals the death door, sweeping all with natural clarity!"
"Open the Heavenly Gate, invite the Deceit God!"
The next moment.
There was no sign of anomaly in the outside world, but from within the One Day Prison Heavenly Array looking out, the full moon over Yunjing City’s sky on the fifteenth of the eighth month suddenly turned a blinding blood red.
The edge of the Blood Moon, like plasma or flowing magma, dripped into the entire array.
In the eyes of others, there was a group of Flame Essence Children carved out of jade.
But in Wang Yuan’s Eyes of Dark Indigo, they were numerous dirty orbs frolicking and causing mischief.
Surrounded by black smoke, fiery flames enshrouded a single crimson eye with an hourglass-shaped pupil, flailing countless tentacles that were a bizarre mix between insects and flames.
Undoubtedly, these were the direct descendants serving the No-Life Old Buddha, each possessing the formidable aura of a Military Leader!
They opened their mouths together, chanting the scorching verses from the Trustworthy Treasure Scroll of Removing Doubts and Uncultivated Ease:
"Buddha’s not far on Spiritual Mountain, Spiritual Mountain just within your heart. Everyone has a Spiritual Mountain Tower; go and cultivate beneath the tower..."
Though the scriptures were normal, when heard, they seemed to ignite the entire brain into severe combustion.
The prepared Three Yang Soldiers emanated white light, stepping out in groups from the Imperial Garden of the fifteenth of August, entering the Yunjing City of the thirteenth of August.
But as if they were traversing outside of the timeline, they weren’t swept into the thirteenth of August.
It was only when a drunken passerby intentionally bumped into their white light that he instantly disappeared from the thirteenth of August and arrived on the fifteenth!
Before he could comprehend what was happening, the Flame Essence Children from outside the Heavenly Gate swarmed him, reducing him to a pile of char.
Killing from outside the timeline, no one could resist, nor could they fight back.
In the future, no one would know what had happened within the deserted Yunjing City.
Houses with no one to reside, fields with no one to till!
The Killing Banquet was in full swing; from now on, regardless of status, all who died within the array would become the "Five Grains" for brewing!
At the same time, a large troop of Three Yang Soldiers also stepped into the Green Sun World, where the families resided.
