I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 158 Reincarnation of Cause and Effect
"not good!"

Lu Wujiu, who was trying to integrate the fire essence into the painting canvas, suddenly changed his expression. The power of the world in the underworld surged wildly, first protecting the canvas and teleporting it away.

Lu Wujiu suddenly raised his hand, and his magic power gushed out, and he was about to use Ran Zhen's power to suppress the fire spirit.

I didn't expect that I was already a step slower.

"Peng—"

Flames suddenly filled his field of vision, burning like magma. Although he immediately suppressed them with the True Dao, the exploding flames still singed his hair and tore his robe to pieces.

"No... failed again?"

Looking at the fireball in front of him that had transformed into the shape of Suzaku again, Lu Wujiu looked depressed.

This is his fourth failure!

It's surprising.

He had clearly mastered every step involved in the formations, talismans, and even seal carving, but when he put them together, he just couldn't refine them into a spiritual weapon.

It's like taking a bunch of parts with insufficient precision and not being able to assemble a finished product.

But he couldn't find what went wrong!
Seeing this, he frowned.

I have to admit that there is a reason why spiritual weapons are so precious.

Most importantly, his cultivation, which was achieved through greed and recklessness, also exposed the flaws of insufficient foundation at this time.

After all, his practice time was too short, and his understanding of many talismans and spell formations was still very superficial.

At the moment, people are more likely to copy rather than truly understand.

"Could it be that the problem lies with the Fire Spirit?"

Lu Wujiu found it hard to accept the problem of shortage of formations, and his thoughts turned to the issue of fire spirit.

The five elements' essences each have their own characteristics, but when refined into spiritual weapons, they serve more as energy sources.

Logically speaking, the fire essence should not affect the refining of spiritual weapons, but the power of fire is more violent, chaotic, and uncontrollable, so it is possible that it will affect the entire refining of spiritual weapons.

In this case, would the situation be better if we used pure Yin power to neutralize some of the violent power of the Fire Essence?

Lu Wujiu pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and lightly touched it, his fingertips quietly landing on the fire spirit. The power of shadows swarmed in, casting a shadow on the blazing fireball.

The scorching heat that made people's skin tighten suddenly weakened by three points at this moment.

"effective."

Lu Wujiu was delighted and slowly increased his strength. The fireball became darker and darker. What could only be done with the Five Elements Star Evil Formation seemed to be easier under the Taiyin Form Refining Dao.

"Is this the case that all roads lead to Rome?"

Lu Wujiu was delighted, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

"cry--"

With the cry of a young phoenix, the fire spirit that was like a piece of charcoal suddenly shone brightly and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Lu Wujiu along the shadow.

Lu Wujiu was startled and subconsciously increased the power of the shadow, but unexpectedly gave Zhuque the path to follow.

Just a moment!
"Well!"

Lu Wujiu groaned, and his body suddenly lit up. Endless fire power rushed through his limbs and bones.

But his body was not burned.

"This is……"

Lu Wujiu's pupils suddenly shrank. As the one who held the Liuren School's Fish Talisman and raised two ghost kings, he was very familiar with this feeling.

This is clearly a case of possession!

Is this fire spirit trying to take over his body?
"who are you?"

Lu Wujiu questioned sternly.

However, the only response he got was silence.

The fire spirit is like a newborn baby, doing the most correct thing in the haze.

Damn!

He had no time to regret, and his magic power was running wildly, trying to force out the fire essence.

Unexpectedly, after the fire essence entered the body, it dissipated into gas and filled the eight extraordinary meridians. The harder he pressed, the deeper the fire essence went into the body, and the hot power was no longer restrained.

He looks like he's going to destroy it if he can't get it!

After all, Lu Wujiu is not a physical cultivator. Although his body is very powerful with the blessing of the top three cultivation level, it is still a physical body after all and cannot withstand the destruction of the fire spirit.

"I'll teach you this: I cultivate the Taiyin Form Refining Dao. All my cultivation is concentrated on my spirit. If you don't come out again, I'll seal my body as well!"

After he finished speaking, Lu Wujiu's soul suddenly left his body, and he used all his strength to practice the way of dyeing the truth, and pointed it at his eyebrows.

"How about giving me this body? I will grant you a thousand years of Dao rhyme!"

"You...are not a Fire Spirit!"

Lu Wujiu's heart sank, and the power of Ran Zhen surged wildly.

The unique fiber texture of paper quickly spread along the center of the eyebrows and spread to the body.

——For now, don’t worry about anything else, just seal the body first.

"Stop, or don't blame me, we'll die together!"

A low roar was heard, and the fire element Qi that had seeped into Lu Wujiu's limbs and bones rushed madly towards his heart, internal organs, and even his dantian. This time, it no longer restrained itself, and as soon as it surged, it ignited his flesh and blood.

A desperate posture!
"If you want a body, I can just find another one. Why make things so unpleasant?"

Lu Wujiu's eyes flickered as he paused transforming reality into painting.

For a moment, the body took on a strange appearance. Above the shoulders, it was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it looked like a lifelike human head painted with exquisite brushwork and ink.

The lower part of his body was a fiery red, with surging fire energy flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians.

"No problem, just swear by the Way of Heaven!"

"I swear a damn oath!"

Lu Wujiu cursed loudly, and a nameless fire burst out in his heart, making him extremely angry.

He threatened the Eighteen Seas with a plague, forcing the Fu Bo Ming Turtle to swear an oath;

Unexpectedly, the Fire Spirit threatened him with his body and forced him to swear an oath.

But he really couldn't bear to give up his physical body.

You should know that except for the shadow power of Taiyin Lianxing Dao which is stored in the soul, the Yuan Qi cultivated by other great ways is stored in the physical body, especially the Ranzhen Dao.

If his physical body is destroyed, half of his spiritual power will be wasted.

Lu Wujiu chuckled and said, "As expected of the Fu Bo Ming Turtle, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. It turns out you were digging a hole here waiting for me!"

Fire Spirit: "Does Daoist friend have a grudge against Fu Bo Ming Turtle?"

Lu Wujiu's heart moved: "Why, do you also have a grudge against Fu Bo Ming Gui?"

The Fire Spirit was delighted: "That's right, if that's the case, why don't you and I join forces?"

"How do we join forces?"

"You rebuild my body for me, and I will teach you the Millennium Dao. You will be immortal and indestructible, and breaking through the fifth level of the realm will be as easy as pie."

"What a joke! If you have mastered the art of immortality, then why are you in this state now?"

"To survive the world's catastrophe, isn't that a symbol of immortality?"

"who are you?"

"My name is Nanming Zhenren, and I am from the Middle Earth. Even if I tell you, you wouldn't know."

"Coming a thousand years ago?"

"...That's right." "You are the Fire Spirit?"

“…That’s my remains.”

Lu Wujiu frowned when he heard this, feeling it was a bit absurd and even more bizarre.

"From what I know, although Middle-earth is powerful, it is not yet powerful enough to burn the people of the East Sea with just its remains."

"The Great Abyss is the navel of the world, giving birth to three thousand small worlds. How could a truly powerful being fall into a small world?"

"How did you fall into the small world?"

"Even horses stumble, and people stumble. Falling into this world is not necessarily a bad thing for me."

“But for me, it’s a bad thing.”

"Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. This seemingly calamity may actually be a blessing."

Lu Wujiu was silent for a while, then said, "I can swear by the Way of Heaven to rebuild your body for you, but you, fellow Daoist, must also swear by the Way of Heaven to sign a covenant and form an offensive and defensive alliance."

"Of course!" The Fire Spirit was overjoyed and said subconsciously, "The oath is set to..."

"and many more!"

"Fellow Daoist, since you claim to be from the Middle Earth and can teach me a thousand-year-old avenue that will allow me to easily break through the fifth level of the realm, I wonder which avenue this is?"

"Fellow Daoist is quite cautious!"

"The path I cultivate is the Path of the Fire God. It's not easy to practice this path, but it's not difficult either. All I need to do is constantly temper my life force fire and devour the world's fire source, and I can quickly ascend to the next level."

Nan Ming Zhenren's tone softened, full of temptation:

"In this small world, fire is scarce, but in the East China Sea, there is no shortage. As long as you find my body, swallow it, and break through to the fifth level, you can do it easily. The only thing you need to consider is whether your body can withstand it!"

"Fellow Daoist, are you asking me to break the seal and release you?"

"Daoyou's eyes were blazing!" The Fire Spirit said calmly, "There's no such thing as a free lunch! If we form an alliance, are you still afraid that I'll kill you?"

Lu Wujiu pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "In that case, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Great!"

Zhenren Nanming was overjoyed and immediately made a pact not to harm each other. After they swore to each other, he left Lu Wujiu's body and turned into a ball of fire, in which Suzaku could be faintly seen hiding.

After regaining his body, Lu Wujiu carefully checked it and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing had been done.

"Fellow Daoist, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Where's the Fire God Dao?"

"Don't worry! Go on!"

When Zhuque opened his mouth, a flame floated out.

Lu Wujiu reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, the flame fell on his hand and burned him so much that he subconsciously retracted his palm.

Even so, he still smelled a strange aroma of barbecue.

"The Fire God's Dao Seed is the Six Ding Divine Fire, which smelts the power of the five elements. How can it be borne by mortals? This requires a special method!"

As Nanming Zhenren spoke, he began to teach a special method, which was to absorb and exhale the power of the five elements, build a fire nest in the body, and accommodate the fire god seed.

Fortunately, Lu Wujiu had achieved the third-class level of Taoism, so he didn't need to start from scratch. He forcibly absorbed the power of the five elements. In just one day, he built a fire nest in his body and entered the path of the Fire God.

When the fiery breath gushed out from his pores, Nan Ming Zhenren commented:
"If you are cultivating the Way of the Fire God, it would be best if you give up other great ways as soon as possible!"

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"The cultivation of your fleshly body is too complex. I counted carefully and found seven great ways. Forget about the excuse of biting off more than you can chew. You wouldn't want to hear it if I told you. I've even seen monsters who have cultivated a hundred ways. Seven is not too many. But if one is strong and many are weak, that would be better. Just treat it as more small tricks."

Nan Ming Zhenren talked freely:

"I'm afraid of you being like this, fellow Daoist. You're so greedy and reckless, wanting to cultivate everything, refine everything, and not leaving anything out. And you also have amazing talent. It's okay if your cultivation isn't high right now, as the various Yuan Qi can still maintain a balance. But when your cultivation is high, you'll understand what it means to have nine dragons stirring up trouble in the sea and a hundred birds singing. By then, you'll be skinned alive, even if you don't die."

Lu Wujiu looked thoughtful.

"Thank you fellow Taoist for your advice!"

"I did this for myself. Now it's your turn to rebuild my body. Do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Wujiu nodded and said, "To rebuild the body, I have three methods. The first is to seize the soul and leave the body; the second is to fill the body with yang energy to generate the five elements; the third is to reincarnate and be reborn as a human. The specific details are all in this "Transferring the Soul into the Shell Sutra". Fellow Daoist, please tell me which method you would like to use."

As he spoke, he handed over the "Transferring the Mind into the Shell Sutra".

The Vermillion Bird transformed by the True Man Nanming flapped its wings, and an invisible force lifted up the "Transferring the Spirit into the Shell Sutra". Amid the rustling of papers, the three methods passed by quickly.

"It's pretty much the same as the mainstream in Middle-earth. Is this third type of reincarnation troublesome?"

"Buzz!"

Lu Wujiu took a deep breath and revealed a troubled look:
"It is a bit troublesome. If you were to reincarnate, you would have to start your cultivation from infancy. Can you bear the loneliness?"

"Don't worry about that, fellow Daoist."

"Reincarnation is equivalent to stealing someone else's fate, which goes against cause and effect. If you insist on this path, I will have to spend some time screening you. You must also set three rules: you must not harm your physical parents, you must not display your supernatural powers at will, and you must not..."

Before Lu Wujiu finished speaking, Nanyang Zhenren said:

"Then take this path."

Lu Wujiu's tone froze.

"The cooperation has just begun, and you've already taken advantage of it. Are you going to go back on your word?"

"You worry too much, fellow Daoist."

Lu Wujiu sighed: "Let's go and find a body for you!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and was about to roll up the Vermillion Bird, but Master Nanming had already transformed himself into a sparrow, circled above Lu Wujiu's head, and then landed on his shoulder.

Lu Wujiu said nothing. He took out the human skin book and then found a deserted mountain to sit cross-legged. He said, "Fellow Daoist, go and look for it yourself. If you find any results, come back and let me know."

Upon seeing this, Master Nanming was quite satisfied and immediately spread his wings and flew away.

Time flows like water.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wujiu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes and turned his head slightly. Suzaku had already landed on his shoulder and spoke:

"Southeast, a small town over a hundred miles away, Zhu's."

Lu Wujiu nodded, stood up and walked away.

However, they arrived at the town in just a short while, and under the guidance of Suzaku, they found the Zhu family.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a poor farming family with seven children, four sons and three daughters. Even so, the skinny woman's belly was bulging again.

"Being poor and having many children, they won't pay much attention to me. I've seen that this old couple has a lifespan of ten years at most. Considering my parents, I can extend their lifespan by five years. By then, I can run away from home and avoid being involved in karma. Are you satisfied, fellow Taoist?"

These words are cold, but also rational.

"That's right. Next, I will cast a spell. Please don't disturb me for one stick of incense."

"Easy to say."

Zhenren Nanming nodded and stared at Lu Wujiu with sharp eyes.

Although Lu Wujiu made an oath to the heaven, it was still difficult to predict people's hearts, so it was better to keep an eye on them.

At this time, it was late at night and the town was completely silent. Occasionally, one or two dogs barked, attracting a group of dogs to bark.

"Noisy!"

Lu Wujiu showed up outside the thatched cottage, frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and gently drew a line of ink, which splashed out and drew a circle, blocking out the sound of dogs barking outside the village.

Only then did Lu Wujiu nod in satisfaction, and endless Yin energy gushed out of his body, filling the courtyard.

After a while, a deep passage appeared before their eyes, and the end pointed to the woman's abdomen.

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Lu Wujiu raised his hand and asked.

Nan Ming Zhenren flapped his wings and flew into the corridor, then suddenly stopped and turned around to say, "In the great Dao battle, I suddenly feel that the second method of disguising the Yang Sheng Five Elements will save more time. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
