Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 611 Using law to counter law, using song to defeat the enemy!
The Nightmare Jellyfish's mental attack startled the strange creatures hiding all around, causing them to flee in an instant, fearing they would be affected.

Although they are ghosts, they are just as afraid of mental attacks. In fact, mental attacks are more terrifying and deadly to them than physical or magical attacks!
"Rumble--"

The powerful mental impact shook the entire Water Mansion Secret Realm.

Shang Lu couldn't help but wonder if this secret water palace was actually a living thing? Otherwise, how could it have been contaminated and harmed by the mental shock?

"Well done!"

Faced with the Nightmare Jellyfish's fierce attack, Shang Lu did not back down, nor was he intimidated.

He had read too many "strategy guides" and knew that it was precisely in times like these that one needed to stay calm.

Otherwise, if one's mind becomes even slightly flustered, the mental pollution from the Nightmare Jellyfish will take advantage of the vulnerability and plunge one into endless panic.

At this moment, Shang Lu focused his mind on his spiritual platform and fully activated the "Heart Sutra of Supreme Goodness Like Water".

Under the influence of the Heart Sutra, the surging essence within his body transformed from a violent vortex into a torrent of energy, flowing into his sea of ​​consciousness and becoming part of it, thus strengthening its resistance.

"boom--"

The mental shock, like a raging torrent, instantly rushed into the sea of ​​consciousness strengthened by the essence and qi, attempting to stir up waves and overturn Shang Lu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Inside the Temple of the Five Organs, the Yin-Yang Qi Bell resounded, and the statues of the Five Organs Gods also shone brightly, helping Shang Lu to guard his spiritual platform and channel the violent mental shock that was coming!
Dealing with psychological shocks is like managing a flood; it requires a combination of dredging and drainage.

But at the same time, we also need to block it!
A glint of light flashed in Shang Lu's eyes. Instead of sitting idly by and waiting for his death, he countered each move with a counter-move.

He neither drew his sword nor cracked his whip, but instead took out his paintbrush, activated his painting technique, and splashed ink like rain, quickly drawing one cleansing talisman after another in front of him.

He's going to use talismans to set up an array to counter the Nightmare!
"Om-"

Pokeweed made dozens of purification talismans in one stroke.

The talismans emitted a faint glow, coalescing into a talisman array that greatly enhanced their calming and tranquilizing power.

However, the array of runes and the ghostly light did not envelop Shang Lu. Instead, as Shang Lu raised his hand and pointed, they headed towards the Nightmare Jellyfish.

The onslaught of mental energy was first blocked by the eerie light of the rune array, and even if it penetrated, its power was greatly reduced.

When they fall on the pokeweed again, even without the Ice Crystal Blue Lotus, the pokeweed can withstand them and remain uncontaminated, relying solely on its own mental resistance and the Heart Sutra.

"Roar--"

Seeing that the mental attack had failed to drive Shang Lu mad and even that Shang Lu still had the strength to launch a counterattack, countless bizarre mouths immediately appeared on the Nightmare Jellyfish's almost transparent body, and roared in unison.

At the same time, the inside of the Nightmare Jellyfish was churning like boiling water.

Having read countless "strategies," Shang Lu immediately judged that this was the Nightmare Jellyfish mobilizing its power in an attempt to launch a stronger mental attack!

Shang Lu dared not be negligent. He formed hand seals and shouted, "Break!"

Dozens of purification talismans immediately began to swirl rapidly, their eerie light transforming into sharp drills that helped Shang Lu break through the mental impact and create a path.

The pokeweed followed closely behind, its feet moving with the steps of Yu, and charged straight at the Nightmare Jellyfish!
He's still too far from the Nightmare Jellyfish to do any damage; he needs to get closer.

The Nightmare Jellyfish sensed the danger and abruptly changed its attack.

The mouths that appeared on its body suddenly spewed out streams of black gas.

Amidst this churning black mist, countless faces were visible—human, fish, beasts, and demons alike… All the faces appeared ferocious and terrifying, filled with all sorts of desires.

In an instant, resentment soared to the sky, and malevolent energy filled the sea!
These black wisps and these faces are all evil spirits and ferocious demons refined from the human and beast monsters devoured by the Nightmare Jellyfish!

They are going to help the Nightmare Jellyfish tear apart the pokeweed!
The Nightmare Jellyfish's move was not in the "strategy guide" that Shang Lu had seen.

After all, the Nightmare Jellyfish from ancient times was raised by the sects here to temper the disciples' character and help them achieve enlightenment and breakthroughs. They would never allow the Nightmare Jellyfish to devour the sect's disciples.

This move is a new technique that the Nightmare Jellyfish mastered after it transformed into a man-eating monster.

Although Shang Lu had not seen this move in the "strategy guide", he was not alarmed.

With the help of the Five Internal Organs Temple and the Heart Sutra, he had entered a state of calm even when the sky was falling. Not to mention, the Nightmare Jellyfish released a group of evil spirits and fierce demons!
Evil spirits and malevolent forces are a problem for other cultivators, even for ghost sorcerers who specialize in the path of corpse demons. They need to be distracted and expend energy to deal with them. At this time, if they are distracted, the Nightmare Jellyfish will seize the opportunity.

But Shang Lu is different; he doesn't need to be distracted when dealing with evil spirits and fierce demons!
"Om-"

The underworld messenger token obtained in the City God's Hall of Corpses sensed the malevolent aura of evil spirits and immediately emitted incense and golden light.

At the same time, the Earth God Seal on the back of Shang Lu's hand also activated on its own, shooting out a faint light that merged with the golden light of incense emanating from the Yin Messenger Token, transforming into a winding Nine-Bend Yellow Springs Road, or an eye filled with the aura of death!
The evil spirits released by the Nightmare Jellyfish were originally menacing, about to break through the talisman array and tear Shang Lu apart.

But at this moment, upon sensing the aura of the Yin Messenger Token and the Earth God Seal, they both changed color.

The ferocity on their faces instantly turned into panic, and they screamed and tried to escape back into the Nightmare Jellyfish's body.

Of course, the pokeweed wouldn't let them go!

These evil spirits are also part of the Nightmare Jellyfish. Destroying them will greatly reduce the Nightmare Jellyfish's strength!

He raised his hand and wiped his face, changing into the Tu Bo Nuo mask. With the divine power of Tu Bo, he activated the Nine Turns of the Yellow Springs Road, pointed his sword, and shouted: "Tu Bo's decree, bind the soul and seize the spirit!"

"Swish swish swish——"

The evil spirits and fierce demons that rushed to escape were immediately sucked into the winding Yellow Springs Road.

Their threats, curses, pleas for mercy, and cries of agony were all useless at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming tide of ghosts and evil spirits was completely captured, leaving not a single one behind.

Having lost the malevolent and ferocious demon, the Nightmare Jellyfish's strength had indeed declined, which enraged it immensely. However, before it could retaliate, Shang Lu's counterattack struck first.

"go--"

Taking advantage of the Nightmare Jellyfish's weakened state, Shang Lu activated a spell, unleashing a purification talisman array that charged directly at the Nightmare Jellyfish. Simultaneously, he channeled his Dragon-Tiger Qi, releasing a military technique, and suddenly opened his mouth, chanting the "Righteous Qi Mantra" with the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger:
"Heaven and earth possess righteous energy. This vast and righteous energy is supremely powerful and unyielding. If it is nurtured with uprightness and without harm, it will fill the space between heaven and earth..."

Driven by both the Dragon-Tiger Qi and the Righteous Qi, every time Shang Lu recited a word, a phantom of the word would condense in mid-air, carrying the power of the Dragon-Tiger and the Righteous Qi, and smash towards the Nightmare Jellyfish!

"Bang bang bang bang bang—"

The Nightmare Jellyfish trembled violently as it was struck by these illusory characters imbued with righteous energy. The new wave of mental impact it was stirred up was greatly affected, and it was completely suppressed by the "Righteousness Technique" and could not be released.

Back when he was looking at the "strategy guide", Shang Lu discovered that the Nightmare Jellyfish was not afraid of physical attacks and had high resistance to magic, but mental shocks could cause it great damage.

This sounds a bit unbelievable—a creature skilled in mental attacks is actually afraid of mental attacks.

But that's just how it is!
What the Nightmare Jellyfish fears is not negative mental impact. To it, such impacts are like panaceas, not only failing to harm it but also enhancing its power.

What the Nightmare Jellyfish fears is the aura of righteousness and the indomitable spirit of military strategists!

Unfortunately, Pokeweed possessed both of these, and their simultaneous eruption briefly suppressed the Nightmare Jellyfish.

"Swish swish swish——"

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the purification talisman array flew to the Nightmare Jellyfish. As soon as it touched the jellyfish, the spells on the talisman activated simultaneously, suppressing the chaos and desires within the Nightmare Jellyfish.

Faced with the combo attack from the pokeweed, the Nightmare Jellyfish was actually stunned and motionless, as if it had truly lost all desires under the effect of the purification talisman and become a mere speck of mud and stone.

Even so, the pokeweed did not let its guard down.

In the illusions of this place, he witnessed the horrors of the Nightmare Jellyfish and knew that this thing had an extremely strong ability to heal itself.

Now that we've suppressed it, we absolutely cannot let it recover. We must seize this opportunity, tear open a gap, and break free!

After Shang Lu finished reciting the "Treatise on Righteousness," he put away his paintbrush, took out musical instruments such as a copper bell and a sheepskin drum, and while stepping on the steps of Yu towards the Nightmare Jellyfish, he struck the sheepskin drum, shook the copper bell, and sang the Nuo song he had learned from the Mountain Spirit.

"Leave impure thoughts behind! Destroy evil spirits! Let your heart be as cool as an ancient well reflecting the moon! Let your soul stand firm like a rock on a mountain ridge!"

Nuo songs can not only communicate with deities, but can also be used as mental attacks to benefit oneself and weaken enemies.

Especially Shang Lu's Nuo songs, with his broken copper voice, are even more powerful in weakening and striking the enemy!

A few breaths later, Shang Lu, singing a Nuo song, rushed to the Nightmare Jellyfish.

He still didn't draw his sword. Instead, he formed a hand seal with both hands, and the Nuo song he was chanting suddenly increased in volume and speed.

"Shh-"

The high-pitched Nuo song was like an invisible blade, slicing open a gash in the almost transparent body of the Nightmare Jellyfish.

The injured Nightmare Jellyfish felt no pain. However, after being injured, it regained some of its ferocious desires, wriggling its body, trying to plug the opening.

Its body has an extremely strong healing ability!
But how could the pokeweed, having finally made it this far, fail at the last moment?
He took the steps of Yu, and without hesitation, he entered the Nightmare Jellyfish through the opening, clearing a path with Nuo songs as he rushed towards the pool.

The Nightmare Jellyfish writhed with all its might, trying to block Shang Lu, trap him, and devour him!
Upon seeing this, Shang Lu immediately changed the melody and lyrics of the Nuo song he was singing.

They began to sing a Nuo song praising the "Eastern Lord".

"The long night is drawing to a close, the Dark Underworld retreats! Dawn breaks in the East, purple light rises! The Golden Crow awakens, spreading its wings to the east! We respectfully invite the Lord of the East to grace the eight wastelands—"

"boom--"

Suddenly, raging flames appeared out of thin air, transforming into countless golden crows and firebirds that appeared inside the Nightmare Jellyfish's body.

Under the burning of the True Yang Fire, the Nightmare Jellyfish's self-healing ability was greatly weakened.

Shang Lu followed the passage carved out by Nuo songs and the true yang fire, went straight to the pool, and jumped in without hesitation.

"Puff-"

The moment it leaped into the pool, the true yang fire brought by the Nuo song, the righteous energy brought by the Righteous Qi Technique, and the purification talisman array all erupted together, delivering the final blow to the Nightmare Jellyfish!
Shang Lu did this not to vent his anger, but because he was afraid that this strange thing had left a trick up its sleeve in the pool.

The closer we get to victory, the less we can afford to be complacent.

Throughout history, countless people have fallen at the final moment!
"Roar--"

Shang Lu heard an angry roar coming from outside the pool.

Meanwhile, the Nightmare Jellyfish outside the pool seemed to have been severely injured by his attack, its body shattered into several pieces.

However, given its amazing self-healing ability, it should grow back quickly!
But now, there's no way to hunt down Shang Lu anymore.

However, Shang Lu also saw that a fragment of the Nightmare Jellyfish had fallen into the pool.

The pokeweed's first reaction was to destroy the fragment.

But he soon discovered through his insightful eyes that although the fragment was still chaotic and polluted, it was no longer under the control of the Nightmare Jellyfish and had become a... remnant spirit?
“This is a treasure!”

With a thought, Shang Lu waved his hand and released his essence to entangle the fragment, dragging it in front of him. After wrapping it with a purification talisman, he put it into the Impermanence Token.

As soon as he finished doing these things, he felt the atmosphere around him begin to change drastically.

Having had a similar experience, Shang Lu immediately knew that he was being teleported out of the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

"It's done..."

Shang Lu exhaled a breath of turbid air, but he was not completely relieved. On the contrary, he quickly raised his hand and wiped his face, removing the Tu Bo Nuo mask and putting on the Hundred Changes Mask.

His figure and appearance began to change rapidly as he put on the ever-changing mask.

A moment later, Shang Lu saw shimmering light appearing above his head.

The transition from absolute darkness to renewed light gave him the feeling of rising from the depths of a swamp.

At the same time, Shang Lu also keenly sensed that several auras were locking onto him.

"The test continues, and we must not let our guard down."

The pokeweed reminded itself of this, and instead of diving to the bottom of the swamp to hide, it immediately surfaced.

The Yunmeng Marsh is teeming with strange creatures. The Chu salvage team was able to dive underwater because they had set up a witchcraft array nearby and arranged for a master protector.

Shang Lu knew that the Chu salvage team was definitely closely monitoring this lake.

He had just been teleported out of the Water Mansion Secret Realm when he was targeted by these people. If he did anything unusual, he would be immediately surrounded and attacked!

Running blindly won't work; we need to find a different approach to get through this.

"Crash..."

Shang Lu surfaced and saw a large ship moored not far away, with several people flying towards him, some riding on objects and others on beasts.

It was only after surfacing and escaping the interference of Yunmengze that Shang Lu was able to more accurately perceive that what was locking onto him was not an ordinary aura, but a killing intent!
If he shows any abnormality, these murderous intents will immediately explode and kill him!

"Fang Zhuo, why are you the only one who returned? Where are the other members of the advance team who went with you to explore the new secret realm?"

A voice came from the ship.

The voice carried a strange power that compelled Shang Lu to speak the truth!
