Chapter 960: Chapter 957: Seek Your Own Blessing Chapter 960: Chapter 957: Seek Your Own Blessing “Indeed, Granny, let us proceed with the ritual now and discuss other matters later,” said Li Jianxue as well.

Granny Sun glared at Li Jianxue, obviously displeased, but she didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, the tall figure waved his hand behind him.

The people immediately got busy near the Golden Tower, starting to set up on an open ground close by; it took them half an hour to finally prepare a black magic array with a diameter of more than ten zhang.

With a wave of his hand, the tall figure shot out eighteen dark red jade pillars from his hand, which landed around the array, each engraved with blood-red formation patterns.

Wuu wuu wuu!

The black magic array immediately started operating, rising up with waves of red light that reflected off the dark red jade pillars in the distance, emitting a ghastly wail akin to the cries of ghosts and the howls of wolves.

“This array looks somewhat familiar; yes, it's similar to the one Ma Xiuxiu set up in Chaoyin Cave that day,” Shen Luo thought to himself from a distance, his expression changing suddenly.

“It's ready now, Daoist friend Li, please enter the array and take a seat,” said the tall figure, looking towards the people from Daughter Village.

Li Jianxue's face lit up with joy, and after taking a deep breath, she was about to enter the array.

“Wait a moment! Are you sure this array you've set up, with its chilling Yin Qi and skyward blood light, is truly for the purpose of performing the Reincarnation Initiation Method?” Granny Sun suddenly raised her hand to stop Li Jianxue and asked in a grave voice.

“Chilling Yin Qi, Ghostly Qi soaring to the sky? Fellow Sun, with your profound cultivation, why do you still view things at such a superficial level? Is some Yin Qi to be equated to evil beings? Does some blood light make it a Demonic Path? Let alone monks, even ordinary people from birth to adulthood, who among them has not consumed countless living beings' blood meals, walked over mountains of corpses and seas of blood? The path of cultivation is inherently a brutal accumulation of vitality, no matter how much one tries to embellish or beautify it, it is nothing but self-deception. Divine souls belong to Yin, and fresh blood is crimson; these are all normal occurrences, are they not?” The tall figure said with a faint smile, appearing unconcerned.

Li Jianxue deeply agreed with the tall figure's words and nodded continuously.

“How can we be at ease with such an eerie array as yours?” Granny Sun asked calmly, unmoved by his explanation.

The other members of Daughter Village also furrowed their brows, with many of them showing a look of doubt on their faces.

“It seems you still do not trust us. Very well, I shall make an exception and explain the secrets of this array to you. This formation is called the 'Reincarnation Array', which one of my predecessors in the Refining Body Altar devoted his entire life to studying diligently for many years before he finally created it. It has the effect of assisting in opening acupoints and strengthening the divine soul,” said the tall figure after pondering for a while, then slowly spoke up.

“Fellow Sun, Friend Pu, both of you are at the True Immortal Stage, and you must know that there are two major obstacles to advancing to the True Immortal: one is breaking through the Mud Palace Acupoint, and the other is the transformation and fusion of the divine soul with the body. Many monks at the peak of Great Mahayana spend years preparing and still cannot accumulate enough power to complete these two steps. However, this Reincarnation Array can help them achieve it. Furthermore, your village's toxic scripture involves ingesting myriad poisons into the body; any slight carelessness during the advancement to True Immortal could lead to a backlash. The Reincarnation Array can penetrate all the acupoints in the human body, effectively suppressing the violent poison of the backlash. The detailed spellcasting process is all in this grey jade slip, please take a closer look, Fellow Sun,” the tall figure took out a grey jade slip, tossing it to Granny Sun.

Granny Sun caught the jade slip, pressed it to her forehead, and after a moment removed it, her expression changing unpredictably but, surprisingly, said nothing more. She then handed it to Elder Park standing beside her.

Elder Park took the jade slip and investigated its content, and also fell into silence.

“Having looked at the content of the jade slip, surely you must now believe in my words, Fellow Daoists?” asked the tall figure with a smile.

“From the content of the jade slip, your Reincarnation Array indeed has some methods. I can allow you to cast the spell, but it must be operated by the people of Daughter Village. According to the jade slip, the setup of this Array is troublesome, yet activating it is quite simple,” Granny Sun pondered briefly and exchanged a glance with Elder Park before saying so.

“Of course, we can,” the Tall Figure agreed without hesitation, somewhat to Granny Sun's surprise.

However, she didn't say anything and let Elder Park pass the jade slip around for the other women of Daughter Village to see, then signaled to begin.

Li Jianxue couldn't wait to sit inside the Array, and eighteen women from Daughter Village also stepped forward, each taking a seat behind the eighteen dark red Jade Pillars, including Liu Feixu and Lili'er.

“These are the materials needed to operate the Array. Take them,” the Tall Figure waved his hand, and a small pile of Blood-red Gourds flew out, exactly eighteen, landing next to each of the eighteen women of Daughter Village.

Having done this, he flew to the vicinity of the Golden Tower, and the others from the Refining Body Altar also approached, showing that they were staying clear of any suspicion.

Granny Sun used her spell to sense the blood-colored gourds, finding they contained rich blood qi and some ghostly souls, all required for the Reincarnation Array, as recorded in the jade slip, with no abnormalities.

“Begin,” Granny Sun gave Elder Park a knowing look to keep an eye on those from the Refining Body Altar, then gave the order indifferently.

The eighteen daughters of Daughter Village began to gesture and activate the Reincarnation Array, the wailing cries intensifying as patches of black light surged and soon submerged Li Jianxue's body.

Blood light shot out from the Blood-red Gourds next to the eighteen women, emitting a pungent bloody stench. Within the red light, ghostly spirits were entwined, merging into the Array.

The black light inside the Array immediately turned black and red, and the wailing sounds abruptly increased tenfold.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi nearby also started to tremor and gathered towards the Array, forming a giant Spiritual Energy Vortex.

“It seems the people of Daughter Village want to take advantage of the Refining Body Altar's help to promote someone to True Immortal stage. With the methods of the Refining Body Altar and the Demon Clan, it's highly likely there will be serious issues with the ascension,” Shen Luo mused silently from inside the pool.

Although the people of Daughter Village had previously been quite hostile to him, there was no significant animosity between them. However, the Refining Body Altar was his archenemy. If possible, he wouldn't mind assisting Daughter Village by exposing the Refining Body Altar's conspiracy.

But now that he had stolen the Nine Brahmanic Lotus, appearing would likely instantly infuriate the people of Daughter Village, leading to being captured by both parties together.

“Forget it, I have the will but not the strength. May Daughter Village seek their own fortune,” Shen Luo sighed inwardly.

Furthermore, this might be an opportunity for him. If the Refining Body Altar indeed had a conspiracy, a great battle was bound to occur soon and he could escape amidst the chaos.

Having decided on a plan, Shen Luo communicated through his Divine Sense with Yuan Qiu, asking him and Bai Xiaotian to get ready.

Near the Golden Tower, the Reincarnation Array was emitting an increasingly intense black and red light, engulfing the eighteen daughters of Daughter Village as well, hiding what was happening inside from view.

However, Granny Sun held the Magical Treasure that controlled the prohibitions of this place, allowing her Divine Sense to spread outward and constantly probe the situation within the Array.
