C1912
The full moon was high in the sky and the sky was filled with a strange aura and light. There seemed to be many energies intertwining in the night, forming a terrifying formation.
At that moment, outside the Senro City, in a desolate grave area, a faint light suddenly blossomed. The light quickly became stronger, and then spread to the surroundings, it was extremely conspicuous in the darkness.
Along with the flow of time, the strange Qi in the sky finally connected with the light in the grave, as if a pillar of light had been extended into the sky. The light turned blood-red in an instant, just like fresh blood.
"Hmm? "What's going on?"
A voice came from the distance, and a deity walked over with a curious expression. When he got closer, his eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and he muttered to himself, "This aura, could it be that some great treasure is about to appear? Hahahaha, I, Old Wang, am rich! "
Thinking of this, his walking speed became faster, and his expression became extremely excited.
When he approached the formation, his expression could not help but be stunned. As he stared at the strange and bloody formation, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out his trembling hand to touch it.
The moment he touched the strange blood-colored array, the immortal's body trembled as if he was electrocuted. Shortly after, his essence energy was pulled out from his nose and mouth. His expression was very terrified, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
What's going on, what's going on?
The immortal was completely dumbfounded. He had no way of resisting and could only watch as the essence energy was sucked into the formation. In the end, the immortal's flesh and blood were completely dried up and only a mummy remained.
As for the blood-red formation, it seemed to have become even more demonic.
Not long after, a few immortals followed the darkness of the night and arrived. Looking at the incomparably large blood-red formation, it was obvious that they were extremely excited. Is there a treasure being born? "
"Stop bullshitting. Hurry up and go take a look!"
These Immortals all drew closer to the formation. However, without any exception, they were all attracted by it.
Within a few seconds, he completely turned into a mummy and fell onto the ground.
This scene was something that was repeated in a continuous cycle.
It wasn't until midnight when the last immortal was pulled over and absorbed into the corpse that the demon formation began to shrink until it was finally gathered on top of a grave.
"Swish!"
A white arm emerged from the mound, then another, and then a figure emerged from the mound, swaying in the night as if a newborn had just learned how to walk.
He lowered his head to look at his hands, and a flash of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
"I... Wasn't he dead? Why was he reborn here? "
Under the moonlight, he could see the man's face.
He had no hair and wore a monastic robe. He was a monk with a handsome face and a slightly confused expression.
In his last remaining memory, he hadn't been in the Immortal World for long before he died in a disaster. That battle was very intense, and the side he represented was being chased down and killed by the other side.
As for himself, because his cultivation level wasn't that high, he was quickly killed.
"How did I come back to life?"
The young and handsome monk looked confused. No matter how hard he tried to think, he couldn't recall the details.
"Although I have come back to life, I have forgotten most of my memories. Is the heavens playing a joke on me?"
The young monk let out a helpless smile. Then, he shook his head and dragged his body outside.
The young monk walked among the graves with no expression on his face. He didn't remember who he was, only that he seemed to have ascended into the Immortal World.
As for his base level.
The young monk's eyes suddenly flashed with a red light as he stood there in shock. The terrifying energy within his body continued to surge, pressing against the surrounding Essence Qi.
"I'm actually at the Celestial Immortal level!"
The young monk took a deep breath in disbelief.
Before he died, he seemed to be an Earthly Immortal, right? How come after dying once, his cultivation level had actually reached the Heavenly Immortal level? This was indeed hard to believe, and no one could figure out why.
"After dying once, his cultivation base has become even stronger. Why?"
The young monk was in deep thought, but on his delicate face, a few traces of a sinister aura appeared, causing his other faces to turn incomparably sinister. It was as if his entire body was in extreme pain, unable to extricate itself.
"Damn it!"
The young monk clutched his head, his body convulsing in pain.
It was as if there was a strange energy restricting him, making it impossible for him to investigate his memories.
An hour later, the pain gradually receded. The young monk stood up, his face pale and terrifyingly pale.
He did not know why it was so painful, but he could guess that he would not be able to investigate any further.
"Forget it. In any case, I'll live a new life. Even if I can't get my memories back, what can I do?"
The young monk smiled bitterly, and slowly walked towards the Senro City.
Where should he go next? There was no definite answer in his mind.
That was the best he could do, right?
He had no idea what was ahead of him and lost the meaning of his life.
At the same time, in the entire Xuanzhou.
It wasn't just the young monk himself, but also some monks who had somehow woken up at various graves and temples. They had lost most of the memories of their past lives and walked in a daze, without a goal or a view in front of them.
Clearly, this was a trap!
The young monk and the other monks were just the pawns of this scheme.
In the manor, the Great Sage was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a giant hand. He suddenly woke up from his sleep and was covered in cold sweat. His pupils also contracted continuously.
The lingering fear in his heart had yet to fade.
"Yes …" Is it a nightmare? "
The Great Sage took a deep breath, and managed to recover from the feeling with great difficulty.
For a moment, he felt as if all his memories were being wiped away by an invisible force. In his mind, he couldn't make heads or tails of the scriptures and buddhist techniques he had learned back when he was still a follower of the Little Ru Lai.
Even though the Great Sage was quite intelligent back then, he had not studied scriptures or buddhist arts for so many years. How did he suddenly wake up from his sleep?
"What's going on?"
The Great Sage thought for a long time, but couldn't find the reason.
Under this helplessness, the Great Sage could only wrap his legs around himself and meditate. He recited some incantations, and even took out a wooden fish from his spatial ring that he had not knocked on for many years. The purpose of this was to calm his heart.
Only after a long while did he finally calm down. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
This was a feeling that he had never experienced before.
When he felt that the feeling was gone, the Great Sage laid back down and closed his eyes.
He did not take it to heart, thinking that it was only the backlash from the Buddhist scriptures.
The next morning, the entire Senro City was in an uproar.
First of all, there were more than a hundred corpses that had been found outside of the city. There were quite a few mercenary squads, all of them very powerful, some of whom had reached the Celestial Immortal level, but all of them had died miserable deaths.
In front of the pile of mummies, there was a tomb that had been pushed open. The immortal that was buried inside had already disappeared.
Judging from the tombstone, he was a monk. He wasn't very famous, so no one cared about the burial mound.
They just couldn't understand why there were suddenly so many dried corpses in the wilderness.
Dark Asura City quickly dispatched a few powerful Celestial Immortals to investigate. Just as they were at a loss as to what to do, another explosive piece of news arrived. In a tomb several hundred kilometers away, they discovered many dried corpses.
In addition, there was more!
Also!
There were several incidents, all similar.
The experts of the Senro City finally realized that this might not be a simple matter.
To be able to kill so many Immortals without making a sound … Was it an organization? Or some other alien creature?
This matter had also spread to Chu Yun's ears at the first moment.
Chu Yun frowned and asked: "All the graves that were broken open, had monks once buried inside?"
Cheng Bining nodded her head, she had just come back from the outside, so she knew more about the matter and explained it to Chu Yun from the beginning to the end.
Chu Yun suddenly sat up straight and muttered to himself: "There are so many graves that had been broken open at the same time and so many dried corpses. I suspect that it is some kind of sacrificial ceremony, as to why the monk's corpse disappeared from the grave, I am not sure, but I am sure that the one who is controlling everything behind it is definitely a strong power!"
"What is the purpose of manipulating these things?"
Cheng Bining's face was full of suspicions. Digging a grave? Or digging up a monk's grave?
Other than the fact that all of them were monks, they didn't have much in common. Their identities and realms were different, and even their ages varied greatly.
The Great Sage walked in from outside. He was still holding a string of Buddha beads in his hand and continuously coiling them.
Seeing that, Chu Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry: "Monkey, what are you doing with the Buddha beads? "After so many years, you have not read any Buddhist scriptures. I almost forgot that you were a monk …"
The Great Sage had a bitter expression as he complained, "Do you think I'm willing? Last night, I was sleeping well, and suddenly woke up from my dream, as if someone had reached out and grabbed my heart, making me unable to breathe. Soon after, more and more images appeared in my mind, as if someone was chanting a Buddhist scripture, and then all the scriptures I had memorized appeared in my mind, making me unable to fall asleep. Helpless, I could only take out the buddhist beads and wooden fish, continuously chanting the Buddhist scriptures, and only then did I manage to suppress that strange feeling. "
"Look, I'm still wearing the buddhist beads."
The Great Sage nodded, then revealed a helpless expression.
Chu Yun's eyes flashed with shock. He stood up and asked: "What did you say? You were woken up in the middle of the night? Your mind is filled with Dharma and scriptures? "
"Oh, so it's like this. At that time, I was wondering why it had suddenly appeared in my mind after I hadn't recited it for so many years. But there's nothing I can do about it. If I don't carry it, I won't be able to sleep. That power is just too strong. "
The Great Sage sighed, he did not notice the change in expression on Chu Yun's face.
Cheng Bining also felt that something was amiss, and asked Chu Yun in a low voice: "Between these two things, do you have anything in common?"
"Yes, of course."
Chu Yun closed his eyes and thought about the similarities between the two events.
The answer seemed as though it was about to be revealed, but it was as though it was stuck in his mouth and he was unable to say anything at all.
Chu Yun's brows tightly knitted together, continuously overthrowing his own guesses, and then bringing up another guess.
The Great Sage was confused, he sat in front of Chu Yun and waited quietly.
Suddenly, a clamor came from outside, Cheng Bining was afraid that it would disturb Chu Yun's train of thought, so she immediately walked out, wanting to see what was happening.
3000 walked in with a strange expression and said, "Another thing has happened. Some people said that they saw the dead monks walking on the streets during the day. Their graves were dug up and their corpses were missing, yet now they are walking on the streets …"
Cheng Bining's beautiful pupils constricted, and she immediately pulled 3000 people into the room.
"Chu Yun, those monks did not have their corpses stolen. They came out by themselves, which means to say, they have revived!"
When Cheng Bining said till here, her heart was filled with shock.
The dead can be resurrected?
It's hard to explain.
Some of those monks had been dead for decades or even centuries.
What was going on?
Chu Yun abruptly stood up, everything coincided with his guess, and he couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
"Those monks did not die, but were resurrected by some kind of sacrificial ceremony! Those mummies had all their life force sucked away by the sacrificial ceremony. All the important points were on these monks who had come back to life! Why were they resurrected? What was their goal? First, find the revived monk, and then we can deduce what's to come! "
Chu Yun's eyes flashed with seriousness. Originally, this matter was unrelated to him, but since it had happened near the Senro City, he couldn't help but be a little curious, wanting to find out the real answer.
"But this has nothing to do with us?"
Sanqian scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face.
"Related! The monkey was almost controlled by this power! We have to find out where the root of this problem is! "
Chu Yun's tone was resolute and decisive.
Although this matter was not specifically aimed at the monkey, since the monkey was involved, he had to find out the root of the matter. Even if he could not use his own strength to resolve this matter, he could at least avoid getting caught up in it.
The Great Sage revealed an honest smile and said seriously: "I feel that there is no need to be so serious right? Maybe I was just involved? "I'm not a monk myself, how did this happen to me …"
As soon as he finished his sentence, his pupils suddenly became straight and no longer focused.
Chu Yun was shocked, he suddenly pressed his palm on the Great Sage's shoulder, and poured Spirit Qi into his body, wanting to check out the situation.
The Great Sage's expression changed continuously as he chanted some incantation. If one listened carefully, it sounded like an obscure scripture.
Everyone present was baffled, no one knew what he was talking about.
The Great Sage looked anxious, but his mouth could not stop. The scripture continued to spew out from his mouth, forming a golden scripture visible to the naked eye that spread out in all directions.
"Great Sage, can't you control your body?"
Chu Yun asked anxiously. They were helpless in the face of this method, they couldn't possibly sew the Great Sage's mouth shut, right?
The Great Sage continuously shook his head, while his expression showed that he was in pain.
Everyone tried their best to think of a way out, but they were all at a loss as to what to do.
But just at that moment, the Primordial Divine Tree in Chu Yun's mind suddenly opened its mouth, and said: "Looking at his appearance, he is obviously being controlled by an evil buddhist art!"
"Evil Buddhist magic, control?"
Hearing that, Chu Yun was shocked, he could not help but say: "Then is controlling the Great Sage the same as the evil energy that brought the other monks back from the dead?"
The Primordial Divine Tree nodded. "That's right, it's the same type of technique. Moreover, that person is very powerful and has at least reached the Immortal Realm. That's why he was able to silently draw out so many sacrificial arrays and cause so many monks to resurrect from their tombs. This is an extremely terrifying technique."
"What should I do now to calm him down?"
Chu Yun realized that the Great Sage's eyes were still flickering with a hint of craziness. Although it was not very obvious, it was because the Great Sage's nature was still around, and this feeling was suppressed. It was hard to say what he would look like after exploding.
If the Great Sage lost his mind again, then it would be troublesome.
Last time, the Great Sage had become more and more unfamiliar because he had awakened the memories that belonged to Yuan Fei.
But this time, it was pure madness and violence.
To be controlled by an evil Buddhist spell, that would be truly troublesome!
"There is a way, you can recite Buddhist scriptures beside him, the more profound the better. Only then can the power of Buddhist scriptures suppress the evil Buddhist mantras in his body, he will soon return to normal."
The Primordial Divine Tree had given him a solution, but Chu Yun was stupefied.
By reciting the Buddhist scriptures, I f * * king forgot everything!
Where can I get a scripture?
He clenched his fists and sighed. If only Monk was here, it would be great.
"Didn't you learn Buddhist arts before? "What a fool, can't you just recite a bit of it?"
The Primordial Divine Tree revealed an extremely disdainful expression.
"..."
Chu Yun really wanted to pull him out and beat him up. I don't know how to do it, how can I recite it casually? If I were, would you even need to spout nonsense?
Seeing that the Great Sage was about to lose his sanity, the Primordial Divine Tree could only sigh and say, "Forget it, I'll give you a buddhist object. If you place it on the Great Sage's head, you'll naturally be able to suppress the evil buddhist art."
Afterwards, the Primordial Divine Tree used its own strength to pluck a golden buddhist pestle that was about ten feet long from the tree vines and gave it to Chu Yun, "This is a very extraordinary buddhist magic item. Even though it is a bit fragmented and its strength is far inferior to what it was back then, there is still no problem suppressing the evil buddhist magic in his body."
Chu Yun's eyes lit up, and immediately placed the golden buddhist pestle on the Great Sage's head.
As the space rumbled, the golden light suddenly grew brighter, enveloping the Great Sage within. Right now, the Great Sage was like a Buddha bathed in Buddhist light, his face was filled with peace and tranquility.
He gradually shut his mouth, no longer mumbling nonsense, and his body exuded the aura of a Buddha.
As the golden buddhist pestle's power washed over the Great Sage's body, a visible black stream of energy was washed away from his body. Then, the berserk look in the Great Sage's eyes also completely disappeared.
Rumble …
The golden buddhist pestle withdrew its light and returned into Chu Yun's hands. Chu Yun didn't even think as he threw it into his spatial ring.
If he didn't take it, he wouldn't take it.
"Hey, kid, I didn't say I would give it to you!"
Seeing this, the Primordial Divine Tree immediately cried out.
"Isn't that what you give me when you give it to me? If I say that you are stingy enough, how can you take back the things that you gave out? You really don't know anything about the affairs of the world! "
Chu Yun took it as his own for granted. After all, this thing was nothing to the Primordial Divine Tree.
"..."
"Brat, you're ruthless!"
If the Primordial Divine Tree had been present, it was likely that it would have raised its middle finger.
The Great Sage's expression improved a lot. His lips quivered and he said fearfully, "Just a bit more. I feel like my soul is about to be controlled by this aura. If that's really the case, then I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Since you can deduce that someone is controlling everything maliciously, can you deduce the exact location of that person? It is indeed a bit extraordinary that you are in the Immortal Realm, but if it is Jiao Ke who takes action then there should be no problem. "
Chu Yun continued to interrogate the Primordial Divine Tree, wanting to solve the problem at its roots.
If that person was very strong, beyond the realm of immortals, there was really no other way.
But since he was only in the immortal realm, it shouldn't be difficult for Jock to deal with him.
At this time, Jock poked his head out of the window and smiled: "Master, if you are only an opponent of the immortal level then just hand it over to me. It will definitely be a piece of cake!"
The Primordial Divine Tree nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Although he is in the Immortal Realm, he cannot be too far away. All the sacrificial formations are in this area, so according to my calculations, he should be in the Senro City!"
"It's in the city?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Although he was not sure what his goal was, but since he wanted to use the evil Buddhist techniques to control the monks, his goal was definitely not simple. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Chu Yun, but since the Great Sage was also innocently involved, he had to investigate everything thoroughly.
"Yeah, I can use the remaining evil aura on the Great Sage's body to figure out where he is, but you have to be careful, an existence that can cast such an evil buddhist spell is definitely not simple. Don't be reckless."
The Primordial Divine Tree warned Chu Yun in detail, telling him to not let his guard down.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Chu Yun's eyes revealed a determined look. His recent hard work in training, coupled with the increase in his pills, had allowed him to reach the fourth level of the Earth Immortal Realm. Although he was not considered strong compared to the strong warriors, his speed of improvement was still terrifying.
If he was able to maintain this speed in the future, he would be able to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm in just a few short years.
Chu Yun was unrivalled in terms of combat strength, if he became a Heavenly Immortal, he would probably undergo a new round of growth.
"Now I'm going to start calculating. He definitely won't be able to figure out where he is. When you guys rush to his door, give him a surprise!"
The grandmist divine tree chuckled. Then, it began to deduce what sort of evil aura remained in the void.
Chu Yun did not say anything, but everyone revealed doubtful expressions, they wanted to see how he would handle this matter. Although he would use the buddhist treasures to suppress the evil Qi, what should he do in the future? Did the Great Sage have to constantly wear that buddhist object on his body?
If he couldn't find the source of the disease, then it would be impossible to cure it.
Just as Cheng Bining wanted to ask, Chu Yun suddenly opened his eyes and spoke word by word: "I've found it, this is an extremely evil and evil Buddha, its strength is very strong, Jiao Ke, you follow me to kill him!"
"You found it just like that?"
Everyone was shocked, feeling that Chu Yun was even more unfathomable.
"No problem, Master."
Jock was excited. He liked to immerse himself in the excitement of battle. It would help him find the meaning of life.
Chu Yun rode on Jiao Ke, and Jiao Ke flew up to the sky and started spiralling in the air. Although his speed did not seem fast, in reality, he was traveling at a speed that was a hundred times faster than the speed of light.
In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the place Chu Yun had pointed to.
This was a silent and desolate cemetery. Even during the day, the air was still filled with a dense, cold smell. After entering it, one would feel their entire body turning ice-cold, as if a layer of ice had formed on their four limbs. It was extremely uncomfortable.
The sun shone down from the sky, but it could not bring out any heat.
Entering the cemetery was like coming to another world, a completely different world.
Jiao Ke and Chu Yun's minds were linked, after they entered the cemetery, they continued to rush towards the ruined temple in front of them without any hesitation. His speed was extremely fast, and he created a series of afterimages in the air, making him look extremely fierce.
The bloodlust in Jiao Ke's eyes was very strong. He bared his teeth and revealed a vicious expression.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the entire temple had been completely destroyed and turned into ruins.
A black shadow soared into the sky and stood in the air. He said with a bit of surprise, "You can actually sense my location. This is unbelievable!"
Chu Yun stood on top of Jiao Ke's head, looked at the black shadow in front of him and asked coldly: "You sacrificed an array formation to revive so many monks, what is your goal?"
"Kid, what does this have to do with you? Haven't you heard that under the premise of insufficient strength, it's easy to make others hate you if you overdo it? "
The black figure sneered. He clearly did not place Chu Yun in his eyes, and did not think that Chu Yun could pose any threat to him.
"Originally, it had nothing to do with me. However, you kept trying to control my brother time and time again. If I am unable to uproot the trouble, what should I do with my brother?"
Chu Yun's words appeared to be extremely domineering.
Jock sneered. Although the shadow in front of him was strong but he didn't have the strength to fight back.
After all, he was an Immortal Level 10, an existence at the peak of this realm. No matter how strong this black shadow was, what could it do?
"Your brother? Could it be the Blood-pupil Devil Ape? "Earlier, I felt that a pure buddhist energy had cleared my aura, I never thought that you would actually be able to follow this aura and come here, I am truly impressed!"
The black figure gradually appeared from the darkness. He was wearing a cloak and his entire body was hidden in the darkness, revealing only half of his face. There was a cold smile on his face, as if no one could enter his eyes and he did not even place him in their eyes.
"Do you know why I want to control that Blood-pupil Devil Ape? This was because the Blood-pupil Devil Ape had an exceptionally strong body, coupled with his understanding of buddhist arts, it had reached a very high level. He had a pure buddhist heart! Do you know, if I can use the Blood-pupil Devil Ape as the next generation to inherit my flesh and blood, I will make up for all of my shortcomings! With your strong physique and your terrifying buddhist arts, who in this world can be my match? "
The black shadow laughed loudly. The wind blew his cloak around, revealing the face within.
Half of his face had already been corroded into the appearance of a skeleton, making him look very sinister and ugly. Although his body was covered with countless Buddhist engravings, the rotting corpse aura couldn't be removed no matter what.
He was a dead man!
No, it was impossible for him to say that. He still had one last breath left in him. He hadn't lost his life yet.
This was a living corpse!
"You want to find a new body, that's why you used the Sacrificial Array to revive the dead monks? Your goal is to choose a body from among them that you can rest in? "
Chu Yun frowned, this method could indeed be described as terrifying, and was not something that an ordinary person could do.
Thus, the power of this black shadow was peerless.2
"Not bad, I found many bodies, all of them had complete buddhist hearts, but unfortunately, their souls are too weak, and cannot withstand the descent of my consciousness. Luckily, there are two monks who passed and barely endured this, but I feel that I am not satisfied, I really want that Blood-pupil Devil Ape's body!"
After saying this, the shadow revealed an excited smile.
The light in his eyes was called fanaticism.
"How about this, we will make a deal, you hand over the Blood-pupil Devil Ape's body, and I will be willing to pay any price, as long as you ask me for it, I will definitely be able to do it, how about it?"
The black shadow chuckled. It was clear that it was drooling over the Great Sage's body.
Not only did the Great Sage have a strong physique, he also had a pure and flawless buddhist heart. To the black shadow, this was a fatal temptation.
With his powerful physique and his pure buddhist heart, if it was combined with his terrifying consciousness, how powerful would he be?
In fact, with his new body, he could even reach a higher realm!
Chu Yun revealed a cold smile, and said word by word: "If you want my brother's body, I'll gift it to you. In your dreams!"
The moment he said that, Jock rushed out and pounced at the shadow with its teeth bared.
The aura that belonged solely to a Immortal Stage Level 10 burst out with such vividness that the entire sky began to tremble, and couldn't help but shake.
"Haha, since that's the case, then I'll kill you first!"
The shadow threw the black cloak. The dense evil Buddhism energy condensed into a white handprint and went towards Jake.
