Chapter 331: Yama Dharma Image, Chaos Strange Insect

"Wen Qiong Taibao Talisman? What is that?"

Lin Shan was filled with doubt and confusion, feeling that it was unusual for Zhang Fu to be so cherished and praised by Zhong Shenxiu.

Sailor Moon explained to him:

"It is said in all the heavens and the worlds that there is a Hades in the underworld, and in the underworld there is the Great Emperor Dongyue. Under his command, there are seventy-two departments to judge good and evil, and thirty-six prisons to punish evildoers. The one who makes the final judgment is the King of the Ten Palaces of Hell!"

"The Ten Kings of Hell are also known as the Ten Great Protectors. Taibao is an official position conferred by the Heavenly Court system. The Ten Great Protectors of Dongyue are under the command of the Great Emperor Dongyue, and Yiling Zhaowu Wen Taibao ranks first among them!"

"Because Wen Taibao looks ferocious and has a face as blue as indigo, but he is kindhearted and fair in judging cases, he is deeply loved and respected by all the worlds. His reputation is also the greatest among the Ten Kings of Hell, so many of the general cultivation world's summoning talismans will ask him to come and help."

……

"Then, this Wen Qiong Taibao Talisman."

Lin Shan spoke with difficulty. Looking at Zhong Shenxiu's cautious appearance in praying to the gods, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"A talisman that summons the gods must be communicated with and prayed to by spirits. If it has some spiritual properties, it is generally a real talisman at best!"

Sailor Moon's pretty face was solemn; she naturally understood how serious this was.

Lin Shan took a deep breath. How lucky is Zhong Shenxiu to have such a thing?

Psychic talisman!

This is a real magical talisman, which is far from comparable to the small magical talismans. Who can resist it?
Wouldn’t the magical powers and spells that are comparable to those of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage be turned into ashes if one strike?

Sailor Moon shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's not a one-time attack-type magical power, but just a summoning talisman that can be used multiple times. Otherwise, we would have no way of resisting it."

Ask for the talisman,
It was similar to when Lin Shan followed the Lujiang League and jointly attacked the Dai family, a giant family in Ludong. A fierce battle took place in the Sutra Library halfway, and Master Zhankong cast the "Incense and Earth God Spell" to invite a large number of Yin gods to help. The idea was roughly the same.

But the two are totally incomparable.

The old fellow, Master Zhankong, at most sprinkled some incense and wishes as bait to fish, and caught some wandering evil spirits to help him fight the enemy.

The talisman used by Zhong Shenxiu is a genuine spiritual talisman, which can summon well-known and powerful people in the underworld. They are not even on the same level!
"It is an auspicious day and the time is good. The heaven and earth are open. I am determined to burn incense and have magical powers. I, Zhong Shenxiu, pray to the leader of the Ten Halls of Hell, Marshal Wen, to come here!"

"Om~"

The void began to tremble, as if something important was about to break through the air. The rules of heaven and earth were squeezed and deformed, and even the field of vision was slightly distorted.

Zhong Shenxiu held three incense sticks in his hands and bowed three times to the talisman.

Suddenly, a huge phantom of a human figure appeared behind him, similar to the image of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!
This man had a ferocious face, a face as blue as indigo, red hair like cinnabar, three eyes, and was dressed in a red robe with golden armor. He was armed with two maces and had a white jade ring on his arm. He stood behind Zhong Shenxiu with an expressionless face.

His eyes looked dull, and he didn't seem to be as lively as the projection of the Star God summoned by Young Master Jiuyou.

This is normal. After all, there are so many star gods in the sky, but there is only one Wen Taibao, the King of Hell. No matter in fame or cultivation, the two are not in the same league.

As the King of Hell, he is busy judging so many people in the underworld all day long. Naturally, he has no time to project his consciousness. It is good enough if he can send a shadow.

Even so, it is remarkable enough!

Zhong Shenxiu is only in the early stage of the Golden Core, but he has the blessing of the Dharma that only the Nascent Soul stage has, which is equivalent to enjoying some of the combat capabilities of the Nascent Soul stage in advance.

Dharmakāya, the external manifestation of "momentum", can help cultivators better manipulate the vital energy of heaven and earth and assist them in improving the power of their spells.

Zhong Shenxiu leaned against Wen Taibao's Dharma image, and the vital energy of heaven and earth gathered around him. The mirage dragon above his head suddenly grew larger by more than one circle, and his aura was wild as if it came from ancient times.

For a while, his popularity was comparable to that of Young Master Jiuyou!
"Ow~~~"

The ancient dragon roar echoed in the cave, and the layers of sound waves caused the rocks to fall continuously. Even Lin Shan found it much easier to resist the thunder tribulation at this moment.

He even had the energy to spit out clouds of gas, which melted the ice mirror of the illusion maze along with some evil spirits. Even the young master Jiuyou was surprised.

Sailor Moon's pressure surged, and beads of sweat covered her smooth forehead. Her hands kept arranging the mirrors like flowers, but she was unable to resist the attacks of two people alone.

Lin Shan's body was riddled with holes at this time, and drinking the Reed Jade Stalactite only restored 50% to 60% of his soul power. The rest could only be dissipated into the outside world. After using his thunder and lightning magical powers several times in succession to no avail, he was shocked beyond words.

Looking at the young master Jiuyou, his whole body shining with starlight, the blue and white star gate standing in front of him, and the endless army of hungry ghosts rushing down below.

Zhong Shenxiu held a black gold-plated ancient talisman in his hand, with Wen Taibao's image standing behind him, and a white mirage dragon that was dozens of feet long was hovering above his head.

This is so inhumane!
One has a magic treasure in hand and summons the projection of the star god in the sky;

One has a spiritual talisman and prays to the image of the King of Hell in the underworld.

Are you still in the Jindan stage?
Wouldn't this method be a bit too advanced?
Big dog owner!

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou didn't waste any time talking and directly used drastic measures on the two of them. This time they really blocked the target and set up a dragnet to get back what they wanted.

One of them has extraordinary luck, and the other inherited a large inheritance. Naturally, they are not comparable to ordinary Jindan stage cultivators, so it is normal for them to have extraordinary combat power.

Although Lin Shan is just a casual cultivator, he is not inferior to them. However, his Void Star Plate is an auxiliary spiritual treasure. In his career, it mainly helps him grow in the early stages. It is difficult for him to fight against the two opponents on the battlefield.

Seeing that Sailor Moon was gradually losing strength, he realized that he had encountered a real life-and-death situation by coming to the forbidden area on the cliff this time!

Since coming to this world to seek the way to immortality, he has encountered many life-and-death situations, many of which were unexpected and hard to guard against.

For example, when he was young and traveling in Qiangke, he had just come out of the Yelang Tomb in the southern border of the Song Dynasty and was attacked by Scarface, a member of the "Nightingale" organization. Fortunately, Brother Ji warned him, and finally he turned defeat into victory by strengthening his weapon with ancient rhyme points and killed Scarface.

For example, that night in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, he, who was in the late stage of Qi training, sneaked into the Huainan Palace, preparing to launch a surprise attack and kill Princess Guo. As a result, he happened to meet a foundation-building cultivator from the royal family of the Song Dynasty and was chased up and down. If it weren't for the protection of Zuo Zhenren's reputation and Lin Fan's rescue, he might have had to strengthen himself again on the battlefield.

Later, he went to the East China Sea and joined the Black Lotus Sect. He was even abducted by Master Gui who sneaked into his cave on his own territory of Ezo Island. Fortunately, he used the Seven Arrows Book to force the poisonous insect to break the impasse, otherwise he almost became Master Gui's puppet!
……

Sometimes, fate is unpredictable and unpredictable.

No one knows when an accident will happen.

He boasted that he knew the whereabouts of the young master of Jiuyou, so he dared to team up with Shui Bingyue to forcibly fight against the Ming Snake Demon King and seize the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk. He thought everything was under control, but who knew that there was a competitive and hostile relationship between Shui Bingyue and Zhong Shenxiu!
Because of Zhong Shenxiu's unexpected intervention, the situation was delayed until the arrival of Young Master Jiuyou, which gave them the opportunity to temporarily join forces. This was a situation that ordinary people could hardly predict, but it happened to happen today!

But as always, the only thing that remains unchanged is,

As Lin Shan walked, he kept one thing in mind at all times:
Ancient charm!

This is the confidence that gives him the courage to go deep into the forbidden area alone.

As long as he has the ancient rhyme reserve in hand, no matter how difficult the dangerous situation is, he will always find a way to turn the tables! A transparent strengthening panel appeared in front of him, and a number was clearly displayed in the upper right corner.

82.

"I still have 82 points of Ancient Rhyme!"

Lin Shan stared intently, and a way to break the impasse flashed through his mind.

Facing the projection of the Star God and the Dharma Image of Yama, ordinary means are obviously not enough. Strengthening any magic weapon or small magical talisman is completely a waste of time. Only a trump card that reaches the level of the Nascent Soul Stage can turn the tide!

As for the method of the Nascent Soul stage, he has several options:

The first thing is to directly call for the Yuanying stage master Huang Xianshi who has signed a summoning contract with him, then he can definitely sweep the place!

Whatever projection of the star god or the image of Yama, they are all vulnerable in front of the real Nascent Soul stage!
Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou must kneel down, cry and call for daddy, begging me to let them go!
But the problem is
To move people, the teleporting equipment must be of a high enough level. His "summoning flag" is just a high-level magic weapon that can only carry and teleport creatures at the foundation-building stage and below.

If one wants to attract a strong reinforcement from the Nascent Soul stage, one has to upgrade twice, first strengthening it into a magic weapon and then strengthening it into a spiritual weapon. In that case, a total of 96 points of Ancient Rhythm will be spent, which is not enough!

This solution, which was the most powerful way to solve the problem and turn defeat into victory, could only be quickly filtered out by him.
The next step is to strengthen the talisman. Directly spend 64 points of ancient charm to strengthen a small magical talisman into a real magical talisman.

The only small magical talisman he has in his hand now is the Wind Escape Talisman. If it is further strengthened, it will definitely become a real Wind Escape magical power!
Real magical powers and spells are naturally far beyond the reach of minor magical powers and spells.

As long as the "Inverted Five Elements Magnetic Array" set up by Zhong Shenxiu outside the cave has not reached the grandmaster level of the Nascent Soul stage, he can definitely ignore the chaos of the Yuan magnetic field and escape by forced wind escape.

But there are risks.

Originally he was using a minor-level Wind Escape Talisman, but now when he was in dire straits he suddenly turned to a real Wind Escape Talisman, which might arouse suspicion from the other three people, and there was a small chance that his golden finger would be exposed.

Even if the other party does not doubt himself, it is natural for him to think that he possesses both the minor magical talisman and the magical talisman. There is still an embarrassing problem behind this.

He did escape, but the Ancient Rhythm Points were used to strengthen the Wind Escape Talisman, so how could the success rate of breaking through the Golden Core Stage be guaranteed?

Are you trying to gamble your luck like everyone else?

If he fails to break through the golden elixir, how can he get back at these two people in the forbidden area?
His original plan was to retain the ancient charm and strengthen the "Three-Colored Ganoderma Lucidum" that assists in breaking through the last step of the Golden Core Stage into a fifth-level elixir. Not only would it increase the success rate, it would also help him to break through perfectly and condense a top-grade golden core in one fell swoop!
This is the long-term plan for future cultivation.

But if it is used to strengthen the Wind Escape Talisman, then there will be no competitiveness in the Cliff Forbidden Land. Besides running away faster, there will be no improvement in one's strength.
After much thought, there is a third option.

It is to directly strengthen a spiritual treasure and improve one's immediate combat power.

Now I have four magic weapons in my hand, the Water-Breaking Sword, the Magic Gold Lock, the Ming Snake Tushita Flag, and the Storage Bracelet.

After inheriting the storage bracelet from Master Donghaigui, the space has always been more than enough and there is no need to upgrade it.

The Ming Snake Tushita Flag is a set of magic weapons. Each magic weapon has only three magic prohibitions. Strengthening one accessory to become a magic weapon is only one twelfth of the level of a normal magic weapon, which is not worth it at all.

The Phantom Gold Lock can be strengthened, but this item tends to pull people into illusions, hide the body, and lock magic weapons. It is a single-target type and suitable as a functional magic weapon for exchanging. Strengthening it at this time is obviously of no help.

The only thing left is the Broken Water Sword.

As a magic weapon-level flying sword, once it is strengthened, it will definitely be an innate spiritual treasure of the ultimate killing type!
With the help of this sword, he could easily break out of the encirclement alone. No matter whether it was Young Master Jiuyou or Zhong Shenxiu, they would not dare to block his edge head-on!

As long as he could reach the cave entrance, jump out of the inverted five elements magnetic array, and then use the wind escape talisman to escape, they would have no way to do anything to him.

Even if Young Master Jiuyou used the Star Gate device to sense the direction, he would not dare to catch up by himself.

The only thing worth worrying about is that once the innate spiritual treasure of killing is exposed, it would be fine if the news did not spread out. However, if it spread widely, he would inevitably be extremely passive. He would not be able to move a single step in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, and even the Kuihu Demon King might turn against him.

Of course, what is more likely is that Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou both kept their mouths shut, and after leaving the forbidden area on the cliff, they went back to ask for help, look for the forces or connections behind them, and came to Tianfu Mountain to find trouble with the ancient sect and Lin Shan.

If I can't find you, I'll look for trouble with your subordinates.

If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!
Before they had the magical treasure, no matter how much internal strife there was between the brothers, it was only a conflict among the younger generation. Each of them had his own pride, and the older generation would not interfere.

But if the news that Lin Shan is in possession of the magic treasure leaks out, then no rules will apply, and it is inevitable that people will bully the weak with their numbers and use their power to oppress others!
So, either strengthen the Wind Escape Talisman or just run away and be done with it.

Or, go all in to strengthen the Broken Water Sword and use the innate spiritual treasure to break out of the siege?
……

Lin Shan carefully weighed the pros and cons for a moment. After all, this was 64 ancient rhymes. How and where to use it would not only affect the subsequent situation, but would also seriously affect his future development path.

The most important fork in life was right before his eyes!
Shui Bingyue was still trying her best to resist at this time. The reed jade stalactites never stopped flowing, and she kept using the magical power of "Mirror Flower and Water Moon", which put a great strain on her golden elixir.

One must use magical powers and spells within one's ability; continuously using them will damage one's tendons and veins, consume one's spiritual consciousness, and even worsen an already serious physical injury.

As the ice mirrors in front of her shattered one after another, the evil ghost army of Young Master Jiuyou and the white mirage dragon of Zhong Shenxiu were closing in step by step, and she had reached the end of her rope.

She had no idea that Lin Shan beside her was going through a fierce ideological struggle. No matter which choice she made, she would be ruthlessly abandoned.

After all, Lin Shan only has the ability to protect himself. It is impossible for him to stay and wait for death with her just because of a brief collaboration.

Seeing that the opponent was about to break through the defense line and the situation was critical, Lin Shan finally made up his mind!
Just when he was ready to burn his boats.

Sailor Moon next to him suddenly lost her breath, staggered and almost fell, blood gushing out of the corners of her mouth uncontrollably, her hand movements were interrupted, and all the ice mirrors in front of her shattered on their own.

She watched helplessly as evil spirits rushed towards her, ready to tear her delicate body into pieces.

"Boom!"

“Gulp gulp~Gulp gulp~”

The entire underground cave began to shake and tremble, huge stalactites began to tilt, and the rushing waterfalls slanted down the walls. The pool of water inside that contained the thousand-year-old spiritual milk stone platform stirred up a fountain several feet high.

Layer upon layer of ripples appeared in the void, and countless transparent bubbles spawned and exploded, as if scalding water was boiling. The movement was far greater than when Young Master Jiuyou summoned the projection of the Star God or Zhong Shenxiu summoned the God Yama.

Amidst the earth-shaking and mountain-shaking, a small purple butterfly flapped its wings and emitted fluorescent light to protect Sailor Moon.

The ripples in the void, as the wings slowly flapped, set off a chain reaction in the surrounding terrain. Even the hungry ghost army of Young Master Jiuyou had a hard time moving, as if they were bound and fixed in place by heavy pressure.

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou were both full of confidence and felt that the overall situation was settled. However, when they saw the butterfly flying out from Shui Bingyue's neck, especially the mysterious and special patterns on its body, which exuded a vast and ancient aura, their faces changed instantly.

I didn't expect that this woman had a spiritual pet to protect her.

"Endless World, Chaos Strange Insect List, ranked third."

"Void Butterfly!"
