Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Upon seeing the woman with her hands clasped together with Tamamo-no-Mae, Bai Lin was taken aback. Although it was the first time he had met her, he had heard of "Yan Po" before. Apparently, she was the representative of the underworld on earth, and Seimei had once said that his black and white dolls were given to him by Yan Po. Thinking of this, the identity and intentions of this mysterious Yan Po became very intriguing.

Many Japanese legends about the "Land of the Dead" originate from the "Underworld" in Eastern mythology. Eastern mythology is a combination of Buddhist and Taoist legends, which includes the Buddhist (Hindu) concept of "reincarnation in the six realms" and Taoist deities such as the "Ten Kings of Hell" to govern it.

In Japanese legends, the "Ten Kings of Hell" are called "King Yama," and the name "Yama-po" seems to suggest that she is the King Yama's partner or a close confidante.

However, these legends all contradict the legend of "Izanami". In the Japanese creation god legend, the "Land of the Dead" is a "lawless land" with no rules or social organization. Even the "creator god" is at the mercy of the gods. This would not exist in the East. Not to mention the Three Pure Ones or the Jade Emperor, even a wandering immortal like Sun Wukong would be able to walk around freely in the underworld. Even a mortal king like Emperor Taizong of Tang would be treated well in the underworld.

There's only one conclusion that explains everything: Japan's two creator gods, Izanagi and Izanami, are completely insignificant in Eastern mythology. They're just the local rulers of Japan who have been romanticized into great deities by the locals.

Bai Lin's thoughts wandered, getting a bit off-topic, but according to his deduction, this "Yan Po" was very likely an underling of "Izanami," or even an incarnation of "Izanami." Everything she did was simply to escape from the Land of the Dead, which was exactly what Tamamo-no-Mae wanted.

Regardless, stopping their ritual is more realistic. Bai Lin adjusted the chaotic power in his body to the highest level and leaped out from the palace wall. An Gang sheathed his long sword and assumed a drawing stance as he moved forward at high speed. He was confident that he could unleash a super strong sword aura that would be enough to shatter the small altar, which was only about ten square meters in size, into pieces.

However, something strange happened. What was originally only a few dozen meters away suddenly felt like it had stretched to several miles. The strong wind that brushed against his cheek told him that his speed was fine, but the small altar did not move closer at all. Instead, it seemed to have moved back hundreds of meters.

"I've fallen into her illusion again?!" Bai Lin was both angry and anxious. He had been extremely careful just now, and he was confident that he hadn't triggered any mechanisms, formations, or traps, but it seemed that he had still fallen into Tamamo-no-Mae's trap. However, he was certain that Tamamo-no-Mae and Yama were right in front of him, otherwise the system wouldn't have issued such a clear message.

With a "thud," Bai Lin landed in front of the small square. Looking around, the small square, which should have been less than forty meters square, was now larger than a standard football field. The small altar was still more than a hundred meters away from him, but his momentum had run out, so he could only land gently.

Bai Lin prepared to activate Apparition directly, but found that he couldn't determine the teleportation anchor point with his eyes—a first for him. Apparition has three methods: first, setting a magical anchor point and clearly remembering the target location; second, random teleportation, where the target is randomly teleported to a location within the magic sensing range without an anchor point; and third, a temporary anchor point, where the wizard only needs to focus their attention on a point in their field of vision to establish a temporary anchor point for teleportation, thus giving it combat significance. However, the third method of teleportation was being interfered with by some kind of spell, making it impossible for him to determine a temporary anchor point.

"Don't waste your energy, you won't make it..." Surprised, Tamamo-no-Mae opened her eyes, and Bai Lin finally saw her appearance. He had to admit that even though he was very clear that she was his mortal enemy, and it was a matter of life and death, Bai Lin had to admit that she was breathtakingly beautiful, no less than Yan Nishuang, and not as seductive and blatant as he had imagined. Instead, she was a very dignified and beautiful woman.

Tamamo-no-Mae glanced at Yama-no-Mae, who was still casting spells with her eyes closed, and turned to Bai Lin, saying, "Yama-no-Mae has set up a life-and-death barrier here. Although you can see me, we are not in the same space..." She was quite patient and even explained a few words to Bai Lin.

"Guests are guests. I have been busy for three years, so you shall be my witness." Tamamo-no-Mae smiled slightly at Bai Lin and waved her finger. The four magical artifacts containing the "blood of the Four Saints" emitted a dazzling light and each shot out a red blood line. At that moment, Yama opened her mouth slightly and sucked all four blood lines into her mouth.

Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth with her sleeve, chuckled, and said nothing more. Her fingers traced the dozens of braziers around the small altar. Each time she pointed to a brazier, a blood arrow shot out from it. Clearly, these braziers were the containers for the twenty-eight "bloodlines of the gods." Similarly, these blood arrows flew into Yama-no-Mae's mouth.

One, two, three... As the number of braziers dwindled, Bai Lin grew increasingly anxious. If this continued, the ritual would be fully activated. He didn't know what the consequences of "opening the gates of the underworld" would be, but it was definitely not a good thing. Once it was achieved, it would inevitably lead to failure or even utter ruin.

A radiant light flowed around Bai Lin as Catherine and a host of shikigami and summoned beasts summoned everything they could. They didn't care whether it was useful or not, they just used whatever moves they had, hoping to overwhelm the master with a flurry of punches. However, not a single move turned out to be of any use.

"Kerry...it's no use...Although they are right in front of us, they are not in the same dimension as us. It's like there is a dimensional wall between us, which we cannot cross with our abilities unless they come out on their own..." Catherine whispered.

Bai Lin gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He would rather encounter a powerful enemy like the Six Demon Generals and be badly injured than face the current situation.

However, an unexpected event still occurred. When Tamamo-no-Mae pointed to the twentieth brazier, no blood arrows shot out from it. Instead, the brazier flickered twice and was extinguished.

If fox spirits could swear, Tamamo-no-Mae would probably be spouting vulgarities right now. She stared wide-eyed at the brazier for a long time before suddenly exclaiming, "The Ono family! It's the Ono family bloodline! I can't be wrong!" Even she, who had always been unfathomable and confident of victory, couldn't help but lose her composure at this moment.

Suddenly, Bai Lin thought of a reason and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the laughter grew louder and louder.

"Hahahaha! Ono Heiji, you old bastard! Hahaha, you're killing me!" Bai Lin slapped his thigh and laughed at Catherine, saying, "Ono Heiji's older brother isn't his father's child at all; he was definitely cuckolded, hahahaha!"
