Chapter 654: Chapter 569: Drawing the Prison, Moths to the Flame_2

A rebellion that would surely ignite a great turmoil sweeping through the northern states, and even the entire Red County Shenzhou!

Yet its most crucial function, still, was to coordinate with their plan to execute the saint and consume Su Guyun.

Behind the scene of [Lady Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall], about sixty miles away from the Capital.

The other three Green Seal Strange Immortals, each with a Yellow God Seal hanging at their waist, had all gathered together.

Whoosh——!

The fierce battle that would determine the fate of Yan State between the Eight Kings’ Allied Forces and the Chuyun Army continued, the scorching hot wind carrying the pungent scent of blood flapping against their robes.

[Green History Left Behind] and [Pointing at a Deer and Calling It a Horse] were responsible for protection, and the five, stacked like Arhats, faced Yunjing City. With hands clasped together, they rapidly formed seals.

"Heaven and Earth’s true mechanism, Ghost Gods unpredictable. The bright Beidou in the north, a thousand miles repulse foes.

Yellow God transcends barriers, executes ghosts and banishes calamities. Those who detest me die, those who betray me perish. Cowherd and Weaver Girl, sever the two rivers. Hasten like the decree, Imperial Decree!"

At the same time, a dull yellow beam of light from the Yellow God Seal at their waist shot straight into the sky like a sharp arrow.

"Imperial Decree: Here draw a prison, heap earth to make a desk, and within the prison be all human sacrifices!"

A dull yellow light shield inverted from the sky, unnoticed by anyone, forming a colossal cage with a radius of sixty miles centered around Yunjing City.

The border was right beneath their feet.

When the "Yellow Heaven Righteous Dao" first rebelled at the end of the Han, and shouted, "Heaven is dead, Yellow Heaven shall rise," it had to hastily revolt due to the betrayal of a turncoat.

The reason for defeat was the phrase "plans not kept secret"!

Having learned from the past, the disciples of Yellow Heaven Sect deeply engraved the proverb "if the ruler is not secretive, he loses his sovereignty; if the subject is not secretive, he loses his life; and if trifles are not kept confidential, they cause harm" into their very bones.

Their fundamental scripture, the "Yellow Heaven Clearing Scripture," says:

"The ancients who ascended the mountains all wore the Yellow God Seal, it spanned four inches and bore one hundred and twenty characters. With Diagram Mud they marked a hundred steps in each direction from their dwelling, ensuring that no spirit or strange being could fathom their extent."

That is to say: The more you know, the more there is you do not know.

When a single oil lamp in the darkness is lit, while under it, one believes they have seen everything clearly.

However, they do not realize that not only is there darkness below the light, but even the things hidden in the distant darkness become even more elusive.

The Yellow God Seal, personally blessed by Huang Qiu Lord, established the Sealing Boundary, ensuring this barrier would perfectly guard their secrets.

Before the plan was initiated, no one could detect it in advance.

Compared to the previous [Zi Buxu: Monsters, Strength, Chaos, Spirits], it’s incomparably stronger.

"Descend! "

Following the changes in the Seal of the Five Techniques of Civilian Control in their hands.

The roots of the Killing Tree, which are present everywhere in this world yet invisible below the ranks of Green Seal Sage, stretched rapidly into the circle as if alive.

They were also completely concealed under the Power of Yellow God.

Gurgle... Gurgle...

The countless corpses on the battlefield, not yet recollected, lost their color at a visible rate.

A particularly thick root also hung over the battlefield, gradually bulging into a large bud.

"Haha, it’s done!

We, the four Strange Immortals, with the right moment, location, and harmony, have launched this ritual capable of executing any being in the mortal world.

Even Demi Immortals like the Underground Master would die upon arriving here!

So-called strategies can’t match Divine Skills, Divine Skills can’t match Karma, Karma can’t match Wishing Power, and Wishing Power can’t match Causality.

The Knowledge bestowed by the Killing Tree said that ’Fate’ was written into the very first particle that underwent change at the birth of the world.

If one could control every particle’s rules of change and every variable within a closed system, they could directly observe Fate itself, and even manipulate ’Causality’ at will.

This is the Great Success of all Knowledge of the Yellow God, ’Heartless, One Hand Covering the Sky.’

Unless the ritual is broken, all who enter the circle will meet their predestined end!

This Skill is akin to Buddha’s ’Palm Buddha Country,’ where everything within the palm is preordained; not even Monkey Sun, no matter how formidable, could escape from this Five-Finger Mountain.

No, it should not be called a Skill, but an Immortal Law.

[The Five Techniques of Civilian Control], [Green History Left Behind], [Pointing at a Deer and Calling It a Horse], and [Lady Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall] did not just spontaneously appear.

Rather, they were carefully chosen by four Heavenly Officials to deliver a combined blow.

"Now we need sacrifices, many, many sacrifices!"

The three stood outside the circle, not daring to cross the Thunder Pond with a single step, yet they looked with a gloomy gaze toward the other side of [Draw a Prison].

The foreheads of the Ten Tribulations Force, Fanglin Master, and Martial Arts Demonstration Map were each covered with a golden "Yellow God Seal" as they seemingly walked unconsciously into that massive circle.

Under the command of their own Strange Immortal, they joined the bloody battle between the Eight Kings Alliance and the Chuyun Army.

At the same time, the piercing cries of women were also faintly carried by the wind to this place, making the three reveal a bloodthirsty smile.

Without a doubt, the Naiman Five Tribes and the Border Army, embroiled in the siege, were also fuel for the ritual’s firewood.

...

July 15th, seven days from July 22nd.

This day was the Ghost Festival, and also Wang Yuan’s birthday.

Like every other year, the increasingly busy Old Master Wang, as always, had no time to properly celebrate his own birthday.

It was his Grandma who had specially made the Luoyang specialty snack "Peony Cake," a favorite of both him and Huang Wu, her grandchildren, and had it sent by a ghost servant all the way to Dushuo Mountain.

On the San Tu River, where grandfather was contently spending his retirement as the gatekeeper for the Yin Department, he sent his beloved full set of 24 "Floral Camp Array" paintings.

So exquisitely and realistically painted, with Daoist Skill applied to animate the scenes.

While showing love for his great-grandson, he also expressed his earnest hope for a great-grandchild, urging marriage and then childbirth, such is the way of the old family head.

It was Huang Wu who thoughtfully gave her Taoist friend a "One Hand Covering the Sky experience card" with no time limit.

As the young female ghost’s Taoist Ability deepened, she could now directly turn any attire or props that Wang Yuan imagined in his mind into reality with one hundred percent accuracy.

Even used to grand spectacles, he couldn’t help but look forward with great anticipation.

However, at this time.

Xing’er, who was connected to the Ten Tribulations Force through her Nine-Tailed Fox identity, passed on some bad news to him.

"Another [Yellow God] information lockdown?

Even Xing’er, the Green Seal, failed to extract any information besides the [Five Techniques of Civilian Control] from the Ten Tribulations Force, no matter the method."

That was the power of the [Yellow God].

Apart from those "variables" in the system marked with the [Yellow God Seal] and totally controlled, it was impossible to leak secrets through any means.

"But..."

Wang Yuan looked up at the quietly opening [Earth Gate], the [Ghost Gate] that spread across the whole of Red County Shenzhou, and the various ghosts that were swarming out of it, and he simply smiled in understanding.

The Ghost Gate opens at the half-month mark!

The Ghost Gate opened at midnight on the 15th of July and would close again at midnight. During this time, ghosts who had a pass could return home to visit relatives and enjoy offerings.

Each pass was signed with his, Old Master Wang’s, seal.

Taking advantage of the auspicious timing of the day, Wang Yuan, armed with Earthly Que Golden Book Magic, had an increasingly clear understanding of the rules of life and death in this realm.

And his power as the Eastern Ghost Emperor and King Yanluo was at its strongest on this day of the year!

He glanced up at the heavy tribulation energy being drawn to the north above his head.

With the sound of cascading water...

The Innate Treasure "Small Book of Life and Death" leapt out from within him and began to flip rapidly through its pages in midair.

"I don’t need to know your exact identities, nor understand your plans; I only need to enact [Exorcism and Calamity] to bring you infinitely closer to your end.

The power of [Yellow God], ’heartless, One Hand Covering the Sky,’ is unrivaled, but who can compare with the ability of my ’Small Book of Life and Death’?

You block your way, I fight mine.

The Beidou decrees death, the Southern Dipper decrees life, and I have already seen your stars of death shining brightly!"

A beam of divine light shot forth from the "Small Book of Life and Death."

At the same time.

A suddenly arriving pitch-black thundercloud loomed over the body of Su Guyun within the [Draw a Prison].

Three Tribulations descend!

Yin Morality borrowed, dedicated for a specific purpose.

Ever since Su Guyun successfully borrowed Yin Morality from the "Heaven and Earth Bank" for her Promotion Ceremony to Green Seal, her ceremony had been involuntarily set in motion.

Especially the [Human Tribulation] made every bit of "causality" wrapped around her flutter towards her like moths to a flame, uncontrollably drawn to her side.

But at the same time, they were drawn into the [Draw a Prison]!
