Chapter 442 - 439

Chapter 442: 439

"I choose the accidental pregnancy. In my last life, I died poor. Today, I’m taking a gamble—in my next life, I must become one of the elite, no matter what!"

"I’m choosing this one too!"

"..."

The ghosts, driven by extreme poverty and hunger, most of them wanted to turn a small bet into a big win.

One by one, they received Talisman Orders from the Asura woman’s hands, turned into light to return to the living, and went back to raise money.

As for the way to raise money, it was quite simple. One might refer to "Midnight Bell," "Return to Life Night"... Anyway, it would not involve going back to earn money by working.

Ghosts who were financially comfortable in their past lives mostly chose customized insurance options.

’Accident’ sounds good, with a thirty percent chance of being a ’second-generation’ lay win, but there were still seventy percent left.

If things went wrong, it could be even more miserable than being born into an ordinary family.

At that time, one would truly be crying without tears.

The Tanhuan person possessed by Wang Yuan’s divine sense hesitated for a moment, but did not choose a random option.

Rather, he spent all the flesh of his body and burial goods to choose reincarnation, being born into a location right next to the Tanhuan territory, in the State of Yan.

"I, Cui Chengxian, possessed extraordinary talent, recognized a thousand characters by the age of three, memorized poetry by five, thoroughly read the Four Books and Five Classics by seven, mastered poetry and prose by eight, and awakened my Heart Light at twenty.

Yet, at twenty-five, I starved to death on the streets.

My biggest regret in life was that due to Tanhuan’s ’Bone Grade System,’ I couldn’t rise to a high position to showcase my learning.

But in the land of scholars, Heavenly Dynasty, just give me a chance, and I’m sure I could ride the wind and turn into a dragon, shooting straight to the sky.

Then, with the status of an official from the Heavenly Dynasty, I could return to Tanhuan with great fanfare.

At that time, even the ’True Bone’ nobility would have to carefully serve me, one of the elite, hahaha..."

Wang Yuan started to see him in a new light.

This was a typical ’Hayan people.’

Brainwashed by the cultural invasion of Great Yan, planning to slip into the Red County Shenzhou via reincarnation and complete a rags-to-riches story that was utterly impossible in their previous life.

But how could the Killing Tree possibly be running Kaishan Hall?

"Very well! The deal is squared!"

Just saw that Asura took out a Dharma Seal and forcefully stamped it on their foreheads, leaving behind a sinister black and red mark.

As for many other ghosts, their entire lives were muddle-headed. The power (flesh) they brought back from their worldly experience was not even enough to be reborn as humans.

Those Asura unstintingly used their seals on them, mercilessly consigning them to the Beast Dao.

These ghosts, however, did not realize that no matter where they went, the banker never loses.

In any case, as long as they passed through this "Yama Palace Ghost Peach Forest Sub-Palace" once, these "True Spirits" immediately became unlawful travelers of the Heavenly Dao.

Wherever he went, when the end of life came and it was time to return here, they would still report back here.

After several visits, even the True Spirit would be completely corrupted, and the Killing Tree would completely strip them from the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.

From then on, after their birth, they were naturally inclined towards the Killing Tree camp, evil by nature.

Or one might call it: "Innate Evil"!

A newborn baby, at birth, is likely to have a sense of right and wrong that is neither purely good nor purely evil, but a chaotic indifference to both.

As they grow up little by little, they get reshaped by family and society.

Parental guidance, morality, social norms, law... all play a subtle influencing role.

Until from disorder to order, they become a competent "person" who can integrate into conventional concepts!

"Innate Evil," on the other hand, is determined from the start, forever incapable of abandoning evil to follow good.

When many such individuals across various social strata come together, they can form a powerful force.

In the Red County Shenzhou, manifestations of impiety, bullying, corruption, murder, and theft...

What they destroy is precisely the foundation of "institutional collectivism" that mortals rely on.

Even during peaceful times, they can gradually destroy the ruling order of a Dynasty, accelerating its collapse.

When "Demon Master Dao" is producing "Ghost Medicine" for the "Yin God Shrine," at best, the shrine is just the knife in the hand of the murderer, and the demon mages take on the resulting debt.

This current scheme, however, is insidious and backed by the Killing Tree, leaving no future troubles.

Wang Yuan watched as one by one, the ghosts had all the flesh removed from their bodies, leaving only a thin strand of "True Spirit."

But it showed a colorful pattern.

Some had just begun to be corrupted, while others were already terminally ill, not knowing how many times they had reincarnated through the "Yama Palace Sub-Palace," their entire True Spirit about to rot away.

After a little thought, he understood the intentions of the "Killing Tree" and the "Underground Master."

"Nine Soldiers" had in their hands control over the "Killing Tree" with projects like the "Nine Heavens Cloud Realm Plan," "South Heavenly Gate Plan"... and so on.

It was clear that the "Killing Tree" camp was not idle either.

This was obviously poisoning, undermining roots, and digging graves for the entire Human Dao, and it had been going on for at least a thousand years.

"Offering convenience to its Believers is just a facade, the real play is setting up for the next big game.

Countless living humans who have been eroded by it, who knows when they will suddenly explode right in the heartland of the Red County Shenzhou, blowing the entire Human Dao up into the sky.

Countermeasures are urgently needed!"

After having their memories completely washed away, a group of "True Spirits," each with a mark on their foreheads, began to line up and move deeper into the fog.

As the sound of water grew louder around him, a black lake appeared in front of Wang Yuan.

In the lake were symmetrically distributed six huge vortexes.

Amidst the churning water, different scenes were projected: armies in battle, wild beasts fighting for life in the forests, endless wailing from the depths of Hell...

Only the vortex that represented the "Path of the Heavenly People," leading to the Corpse Dissection Immortal in Immortal Heaven, remained still without any movement.

This indicates that, no matter how formidable the Underground Master might be, for the time being, he couldn’t shake the power of the Corpse Dissection Immortal.

The moment he dared to move the earth above Tai Sui’s head, his plan would be immediately exposed.

Just as a group of Yin Souls jumped into the "Mortal World Path," Wang Yuan’s hands formed a mantra and he bowed toward the distant heavens, reciting:

"Commanding the Way of Heaven, transforming the Two Instruments, generating Yin and Yang, turning Qiankun, heeding the amnesty order! Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the technique!"

The native Heavenly Dao, devoid of subjective personality, was like a giant whale tormented by barnacles on its back, always waiting for the "Doctor" to visit.

This time, the response was quicker than any other time before.

The Harmonizing Yin and Yang technique activated, and the scene before Wang Yuan’s eyes suddenly changed.

The Killing Trees, whose Qi Roots could be seen everywhere in the Mortal World, were absent in the Underworld, with no soil for them to thrive.

However, on the other side of Yin Mountain, a vast area was dominated by a massive and ugly root system.

Both the Ghost Peach Forest and the "Reincarnation Lake" were built upon these roots.

Wang Yuan had seen them early on.

The thirty-three heavens were the thirty-three massive roots of the Killing Tree, with the sun and moon palaces serving as secondary roots, and the Cycle Star Mansion as Qi roots, while the branches that reached the four poles of shade hung down from Outer Heaven.

They were covered with branches, leaves, fruits, and nausea-inducing flesh tumors—a monstrous entity that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the entire world.

His vision shifted to the vortex in the "Reincarnation Lake," which was rapidly engulfing itself.

Endless Daoist Knowledge flowed in his mind.

Suddenly, like the distant austere expanse of the sky, his lips slowly formed the words:

"Indeed, it’s my... Six Paths of Reincarnation technique!"

The Killing Tree not only firmly nailed a peg in the Yin Department.

It had also devoured who knows how much knowledge of the Ghost Path over the long years, all concentrated here, given to the Underground Master to usurp the authority of the Yin Department.

And at the core of all effective Daoist Skills was the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique recorded in the Small Book of Life and Death.

Initially, it was the West King Holy Mother who tempted Emperor Mu to open the gates of the Underworld, and it was also the West King Holy Mother who devoured him completely after their romance.

In the meantime, Emperor Mu discovered he was unable to cultivate the Earthly Que Golden Book and instead turned to cultivating the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique.

Wang Yuan would bet that if there wasn’t the handiwork of the West King Holy Mother within, he would have the courage to chop off his own head.

"Poor Emperor Mu at first thought he had found love.

Probably from the start, she planned how to skin and dismember you, while also figuring out how to use every one of your parts.

Lucky for me..."

I dealt with the Six Demon Dragons in advance thanks to the secret technique of frontal lobe removal surgery.

Otherwise, I might have really been at a loss in the face of the current situation."

Muttering to himself, Wang Yuan took out a huge golden disc from the Ghost Realm.

It was the Lifebound Magic Treasure of Emperor Mu— the Six Paths Golden Wheel!

Also, it was the Daoist Skill Technique upon which Emperor Mu had based his entire life’s cultivation, bearing all his knowledge.

At the same time, this was probably the only treasure in the world capable of patching up the loopholes in the Underworld.

Even the Small Book of Life and Death paled in comparison.

Of course, just a brainless treasure wouldn’t do; it would still be restrained by someone who’d find a way, just like the Heavenly Dao.

It also required the addition of an able and powerful general.

A suitable candidate sprang into Wang Yuan’s mind.

Without hesitation, he flipped open the Small Book of Life and Death and lightly tapped on one of its pages.

With the most kindly voice full of concern, he spoke:

"My disciple Succeeding Saint, how goes your cultivation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique? While we haven’t contacted each other for several months, your teacher has always been thinking of you.

My body is very well, so rest assured.

This time I’m contacting you, there’s a good assignment to entrust to you!

It’s guaranteed to advance your Taoist Ability by leaps and bounds, and it won’t delay your Mortal World training as the Killing Wolf."

"Right, right, right. I’ve already set things up for you; you just need to come.

For the first reincarnation cycle of the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique, it would certainly be meticulously selected. Do you have any specific requirements?"

"Tall stature, powerful in combat, not too impoverished, endearing to all and, preferably, a bit handsome as well? This..."

On hearing his second disciple’s requirements for the new identity, Wang Yuan, who was blossoming forth like a lotus with his tongue, paused briefly.

But immediately, he agreed wholeheartedly.

"Sure thing! Your modest requests are no problem at all!"

Then, he slowly turned his head to look at those... beautiful and alluring female Asuras in the division of Yama Palace.

Yes, a perfect fit!

For the Killing Wolf, who was destined to live a life among turbulence, the Six Paths Golden Wheel was essentially a "golden finger."

Since destiny ordained a life of upheaval that would follow him, it was better to actively send him into enemy territory, into Hell, into places where his sect needed him.

As long as he didn’t die, he could definitely become useful.

Surely you can understand the painstaking efforts of your teacher!
