Yinshan Record

Chapter 182 Self-Protected Barrier
The dragon's spirit unleashed layers of chilling energy, spreading outwards like a tidal wave.

He had been sealed away for so long that he had almost forgotten what it felt like to soar through the sky.

So it continues to rise higher; it doesn't roar, it just keeps its spirit moving upwards.

Too much time has passed. The once indestructible physical body, forged through countless trials and tribulations, has long since vanished into nothingness in Zhi Guangji's hands. All that remains is his long-dormant dragon spirit.

The ancient, monstrous dragon "Bi," which once roamed the Arctic and nearly froze the world, raises its head upwards.

Back then, the Black Emperor not only destroyed its physical body, but also sealed its dragon spirit beneath the Yin-Yang Realm, making it the cornerstone of this realm.

Now that the boundary between Yin and Yang has been shattered, it has finally regained its freedom.

Its pupils gazed down at the landscape below.

that person.

Long Ling's eyes locked onto Zhong Yuan. How many years had passed, yet this person was still here.

But this world is no longer your world.

Zhongyuan didn't look at it; instead, his figure gradually faded away.

The dragon spirit turned east, stirring up layers of cold waves; it was time to return to the sea.

With a dragon's roar, a winding crimson dragon appeared in the air, closely following the dragon spirit and gradually dispelling the chill emanating from it.

The two dragons, one in front and one behind, headed straight for the East China Sea.

Su Che felt like he was floating.

Indeed, the Yin-Yang realm has long been turned upside down. The heavy Yin energy that once hung high in the sky has now surged to the ground beneath our feet, while the palaces and cities are now above our heads.

Countless hungry ghosts are still battling against the spirits in the Yin-Yang realm, but it all seems to have become meaningless.

Yunlu hugged her waist with her left hand and grabbed Lu Bai's shoulder with her right, fleeing at top speed.

The Yin-Yang boundary was collapsing, and Su Che seemed to see Guo Bei County before his eyes.

The boundless yin energy swept through the raging winds, and countless hungry ghosts sprang forth, seemingly dyeing the sky of Guobei County a deep black.

I have finally arrived in Guobei County.

Bei Mang Gui Zu sheathed his sword and stood with Yuwen Rui, the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei, standing beside him.

"Ghost Ancestor has rendered great service to the country this time. I will certainly report to the Emperor and have Ghost Ancestor conferred the title of Protector of the Nation and Divine Blessing."

Yuwen Rui stood with his hands behind his back, facing the immortal immortal beside him as if he were an old friend he had known for many years.

"The Yin-Yang boundary has shattered, and the path of hungry ghosts has been established. Countless hungry ghosts and fierce spirits have spread poison to the Southern Dynasty. Regardless of whether the Southern Dynasty emperor is willing or not, or what Wei Huaiwen thinks, they will have to withdraw their troops this time."

The Ghost Ancestor of Beiman looked at the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei: "The Grand Tutor used the dragon spirit sealed in the Yin-Yang realm to command the Qiantang and Dongting lineages, persuading Master Mulian to abandon his supernatural powers from his past life and establish a Buddhist temple. It's laughable that the Censorate and the Imperial Guards of Southern Liang are still in a hurry to find some Golden Book Conference. The Grand Tutor's ability to manipulate events and turn the world upside down is truly admirable."

Yuwen Rui smiled slightly: "What wisdom do I have? It's just that everyone gets what they need. Didn't Tingyu Tower also get the Yin-Yang Dharma King and that thing?"

"Grand Tutor, please be careful with your words. I only acted out of respect for you and because I have the ambition of the Great Wei to unify the world. As for this Listening Rain Pavilion, I have never heard of it."

Yuwen Rui looked up at the sky and smiled slightly.

"Speaking of that disciple that Ghost Ancestor took in during the Southern Dynasty, whether his surname is Su or Zuo, I find him very pleasing. Should I give him some more benefits...?"

"him?"

Bei Mang Ghost Ancestor looked at Yuwen Rui: "The younger generation has its own affairs, no need for Grand Tutor to trouble himself."

This old ghost.

Yuwen Rui remained silent, quietly gazing at the Yin-Yang Boundary before him.

The Yin-Yang boundary was inevitably heading towards collapse, and at this moment, a pure white lotus flower gradually bloomed.

Through the combined efforts of eighteen ancient Buddhas in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the realm of hungry ghosts was finally extended into this Yin-Yang realm.

Yin-Yang boundary, Guobei County, Hungry Ghost Realm.

The boundaries between the three gradually disappeared, and they merged into one.

The majestic images of the three Buddhas—Ratnasambhava, Dharmakirti, and Sudatta—hang above the Central Plains. "Our Buddha has three sutras—past, future, and present—to deliver all from suffering. Good men, good women, and all faithful believers in the Central Plains, who all sincerely take refuge in us, we will save them all and surely liberate them. Those who have even a single thought of taking refuge in our Buddha will surely attain boundless bliss and long life."

The vast Buddha light proclaims to the people of China that Buddhism, which ceased when the Tathagata with the Lion and Lotus Avatar fell into demonic possession, is making a comeback today.

Pure land, spotless, lotus blossoms open and close.

The lotus enveloped Guobei County and the Yin-Yang realm, and the hungry ghosts and evil spirits of the Yin-Yang realm that had not yet escaped gradually submitted under the Buddha's light.

At this moment, another ancient Buddha appeared in the world.

The three Venerables, Baosheng, Shande, and Faming, bowed together to this ancient Buddha.

The first ancient Buddha to transmit the Dharma at Lingjiu Temple, the Golden Light Supreme King Buddha, manifested in this world.

This powerful being of the Earth Immortal level gazed at the sky with a look of sorrow on his face.

High above the heavens, a giant stele descended from the sky, plunging straight into the heart of this newly born realm of hungry ghosts.

Without lingering, Yuwen Rui turned north and rode the wind.

The falling of this stele signifies that Xuandu Palace has finally mobilized, and everything has reached a point of resolution.

What's the point of lingering any longer?
Moreover, there must be countless masters in the Southern Dynasty waiting to reap his life.

“Ghost Ancestor, the Golden Light Supreme King has arrived. If we don’t leave soon, he might really be converted into Buddhism.”

Ghost Ancestor stared intently at the giant monument falling from the sky.

Zhongyuan was right; Xuandu Palace and Lingjiu Temple had indeed known each other for a long time.

Layers of Daoist essence rose up, revealing celestial palaces in the sky, where an immortal in a tall crown and wide belt strolled through the air.

The newcomer's head was adorned with auspicious clouds, revealing him to be a celestial being.

"The coffin will be sealed at Lingjiu Temple."

The Dharma's sound was clear and melodious, deeply moving people's hearts.

The Buddha of Golden Light, the Most Victorious King, recited the Buddha's name and bowed below.

"By imperial decree of Xuandu, you may spread Buddhism in Guobei County, but you shall not exceed this limit."

"I obey your command."

The Golden Light Buddha bowed to the giant stele, the profound inscriptions on it causing a slight pain in his eyes.

They're finally back, but the price they paid was far too heavy.

For this small piece of land, Lingjiu Temple did not hesitate to pledge its loyalty to Xuandu Palace, and several ancient Buddhas personally appeared outside the realm to do their bidding for it.

Lingjiu Temple is still inferior to Xuandu Palace.

His eyes were fixed on the Buddha Dharmakaya below.

"Faming."

"World Honored One."

"You have cultivated yourself from countless past lives until now, and have formed good karma with the Central Plains. You should protect the sentient beings of the Central Plains and guard this place where the Dharma is propagated. Know that the Dharma is like a lamp, which can illuminate the long night of eternity even in a small area."

“Disciple understands that although it is a small place, the Buddha’s light can shine eternally.”

“Excellent, excellent. I will now expound the immeasurable Dharma to you. Listen attentively, listen attentively…”

The Golden Light Buddha, the Most Victorious King, clasped his hands together in prayer.

Fragrant flowers rain down from the sky, and golden lotuses spring forth from the earth.

The Tathagata Dharmakara sat below, the Tathagata Good Virtue sat to the left of the Buddha Supreme King, and the Tathagata Ratnasambhava sat to the right of the Buddha Supreme King.

Rays of Buddha light shot straight up to the heavens, as if the Golden Light Supreme King Buddha himself was preaching. However, the Buddhist chants could not penetrate beyond the county seat of Guobei County.

Between heaven and earth, an invisible barrier isolates it within a small space.
