A Tenth Method Devised on the Spot?
Although this wasn't the first time the Earth Sha Evil Lord visited the Vast Heaven Holy Land, it was definitely his first time.
The Earth Sha Evil Lord stated that although he had previously participated in the Gold Medal Spy Group of the Vast Heaven Holy Land and listened attentively to the expert guide Hua Xizhong recount various strange tales about the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
The Earth Sha Evil Lord said he had spent over a hundred spirit stones extra!
Now, top tour guide Hua Xizhong really in hot water!
The tour guide's fee is for the tour guide, and understanding the interior of the Vast Heaven Holy Land is also for the Vast Heaven Holy Land's fee.
According to Hua Xizhong, the top tour guide, the Earth Sha Evil Lord knew that Vast Heaven Holy Land was an extremely outrageous place.
The Earth Sha Evil Lord naturally knew something about Elder He was unparalleled in his miscellaneous knowledge.
But now, the Earth Sha Evil Lord said, "Damn it! When the top tour guide Hua Xizhong told me that Elder He was unparalleled in his miscellaneous knowledge, was above the highest level, I thought he was exaggerating!"
And now you're telling me that top tour guide Hua Xizhong was being conservative?
Isn't Elder He, who claims to be an unparalleled polymath, perhaps a little too much of a polymath?
I, the Earth Sha Evil Lord... I've practically read through all the ancient texts of the entire Evil Shadow Continent these past few days.
Although those Evil Lords refused to show themselves, they still dared not say anything when I asked them for some books about Shadow Ghosts and the Dead Spirit Realm.
Therefore, the Earth Sha Evil Lord stated that he had truly searched through all the books related to Shadow Ghosts in the entire Evil Shadow Continent these past few days.
After searching through so many ancient texts, I, the Earth Sha Evil Lord, have only found one way to find the Shadow Ghost: have a powerful expert above the Mystic God level use their Divine Sense to search for it.
But now the Earth Sha Evil Lord is directly saying that your Vast Heaven Holy Land is going a bit too far?
You have nine ways to find the Shadow Ghost without even saying a word? Is that really reasonable?
Just as the Earth Sha Evil Lord was questioning him, an ancient book titled "A Complete Guide to Nine Methods for Finding and Killing Shadow Ghosts " was thrown in his face.
Looking at this ancient book now... even the Earth Sha Evil Lord was dumbfounded!
Is this even the title of a legitimate ancient book?
Are you sure this wasn't something your Vast Heaven Holy Land hastily fabricated?
Does anyone have a legitimate ancient book with this name?
Elder He and Holy Mother of Wujiang, are you two playing the role of a harmonious couple here?
One of you proposes the method, and the other is directly responsible for verifying it? Isn't that a bit too much of a one-stop service?
However, after the Earth Sha Evil Lord opened the ancient book and finished reading it, he fell silent...
Because this ancient book, with its outrageous-sounding name, is actually, in terms of both its material and content, an ancient book!
This is not something that was hastily put together...
The Earth Sha Evil Lord was genuinely dumbfounded at this moment!
Chu Xinghe the Earth Sha Evil Lord's reaction, and at that moment Earth Sha Evil Lord empathized with him!
Chu Xinghe said, "Earth Sha Evil Lord, now you know what kind of place our Vast Heaven Holy Land is!"
To be honest, I, Chu Xinghe, share the same doubts you have right now!
I've always believed that Elder He has some kind of cheat code... There's a very high chance that Elder He is backing an entire Four Continents Archives!
Elder He can retrieve any necessary materials from the archives at any time, as long as he is willing.
That's why the Holy Mother of Wujiang Elder He were able to get together...
Even Ouyang Ming wanted to know how the Qiankun Ring of the Holy Mother of Wujiang was made. You wouldn't even dare to think about what ancient books could be pulled out of that Qiankun Ring!
Whether the Earth Sha Evil Lord was confused or not was unknown; everyone was carefully watching the nine methods for dealing with the Shadow Ghost!
It's similar to Elder He just said.
Finding the Shadow Ghost isn't actually that difficult; many treasures or formations can be used to locate Shadow Ghost.
However, regarding treasures, even if you have Ouyang Ming working overtime, it would still take a very long time to create a large number of spiritual treasures in a short period of time to find the Shadow Ghost.
After all, those are all ancient treasures, which ordinary weapon refiners certainly cannot accomplish.
As for the formation, the White Tiger Holy Venerable said there was no problem, but the biggest problem with the formation was that it was impossible to find all the Shadow Ghosts.
After all, Lingyu couldn't possibly eliminate all the Shadow Ghosts hiding inside the buildings.
Perhaps the first wave of Shadow Ghosts will be found and killed by Ling Yu, but the Shadow Ghosts are not stupid. Once they hide, even Ling Yu will be powerless against them.
Elder He: "So I don't think these nine methods are very good at dealing with Shadow Ghosts, so I just thought about it and came up with a tenth method!"
Earth Sha Evil Lord: "???"
The Earth Sha Evil Lord was now completely bewildered!
The Earth Sha Evil Lord pleaded with Elder He... "I beg you... please have some decency..."
Can't you people from the Vast Heaven Holy Land do something decent?
I came to your Vast Heaven Holy Land to ask for help...
Before arriving, the Earth Sha Evil Lord had already prepared himself for all sorts of difficulties. In the end, he asked the Vast Heaven Holy Land for help, but the Vast Heaven Holy Land made things difficult for him, even demanding various benefits, and was reluctant to lend a hand...
Finally, after paying a heavy price, the Vast Heaven Holy Land reluctantly agreed, and even then, he had to urge them repeatedly before they could find a way to deal with the Shadow Ghost.
But now the Earth Sha Evil Lord says this is completely different from what I expected...
The Vast Heaven Holy Land, without any hesitation, directly proposed nine methods. And when none of these nine methods were suitable Elder He, you even managed to come up with a tenth method on the spot?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Elder He way you're acting right now makes the Evil Spirits on our Evil Shadow Continent look incredibly dull, you know that?
Is this the legendary power of the Concept God of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
They just go around killing indiscriminately, without any regard for reason, is that it?
Elder He didn't know what the Earth Sha Evil Lord was thinking at this moment. Elder He said that those nine methods were actually outdated, and that our Vast Heaven Holy Land didn't need to go through so much trouble to deal with the Shadow Ghost.
As I just mentioned, the most suitable method is the Spirit Stone Revealing Method. However, the normal Spirit Stone Revealing Method involves engraving a formation similar to Spirit Rain on the Spirit Stone. Then, as long as you hold this Spirit Shadow Ghost on your person, the power within the Spirit Stone will be released immediately to detect Shadow Ghosts that appear around you.
The most terrifying thing about Shadow Ghosts is not how strong they are, but that Shadow Ghost are invisible and intangible. They can hide in your shadow and then strike you when you are least alert.
But once the location of the Shadow Ghost is found, killing Shadow Ghost won't be too difficult.
However, the array that needs to be inscribed for the Spirit Stone Revealing Method is quite complicated, not in the sense that the array itself is complicated.
If you're talking about setting up a Spirit Rain Formation, any array master with some skill from our Vast Heaven Holy Land can set it up normally.
The problem is, don't forget, this Spirit Rain Formation isn't carved on the ground, but on a spirit stone.
It's like painting. If you find someone who has studied painting for ten or eight years and ask them to copy a painting, even if they can't capture the spirit, they can at least get the form right, right?
But if you ask him to paint this picture on a single grain of rice, do you think he could do it?
Although spirit stones are much larger than rice grains, don't forget that formations are far more complex than drawing.
Therefore, in this situation, if the Spirit Stone Revealing Method is used, the only people in the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land who can reliably imprint the formation onto the spirit stone and give it the effect of spiritual rain are probably the White Tiger Holy Venerable and Chu Xinghe, whose Innate Formation Mastery are naturally perfect. Even for the Formation Spirit Clan, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this.
Therefore, Elder He believed that the Spirit Stone Revealing Method was unlikely to work under normal circumstances. After all, if the number of Shadow Ghosts that escaped was small, only one or two, it wouldn't be too difficult to find them with a few Spirit Stones.
However, it is clear from the Earth Sha Evil Lord's side that a considerable number of Shadow Ghosts escaped this time, which means that a large number of spirit stones are needed to inscribe the formation.
Good heavens White Tiger Holy Venerable and Xinghe don't have to do anything anymore, they can just spend their days inscribing formations with spirit stones?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
So Elder He thought it over and over and came up with a completely new idea!
"It still uses the Spirit Stone Revealing Method, but instead of using an array, we'll change our approach. We'll use the power of the White Rainbow Xinghe's hands to transform that power into an array and imprint it onto the spirit stone. In this way, the spirit stone will naturally also possess a portion of the White Rainbow's power. What kind of Shadow Ghost can hide in front of the White Rainbow?"
Elder He said this, everyone in the room, except for the Earth Sha Evil Lord, had a look of sudden realization!
"Elder He is indeed unparalleled in his eclectic knowledge; this method is highly feasible!" the Great Sage said from the side.
"Great Sage, you flatter me. I imagine Great Sage had already thought of this before I even mentioned it!" Elder He smiled as he looked at the Great Sage.
In response to Elder He's words, the Great Sage smiled slightly, and the two understood each other without saying a word.
After all, if you're talking about who understands White Rainbow's abilities best, then the Dark Moon Clan would probably be second to none.
White Rainbow possesses the power to reveal herself; no matter what kind of invisibility technique is used, it is completely ineffective in front of White Rainbow.
It was thanks to White Rainbow that the Dark Moon Clan, who had been cursed, were finally able to be seen for the first time!
Therefore, the Great Sage had already figured out Elder He was thinking.
"Using the power of the Xinghe's White Rainbow to create an array attached to the spirit stones, these spirit stones will gain the power to become visible. As long as specific people take these spirit stones to various areas in the Evil Shadow Continent, the Shadow Ghosts will naturally have nowhere to hide!"
Elder He said this, almost everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
Only the Earth Sha Evil Lord stared blankly at all of this.
The Earth Sha Evil Lord asked, "Is this the difference between the Vast Heaven Holy Land and our Evil Spirit Clan?"
Are they always this efficient at discussing things?
The Earth Sha Evil Lord knew it was time for him to step forward, and he spoke, "We beg the Earth Sha Evil Lord Vast Heaven Holy Land to lend a helping hand. We, the Earth Sha Evil Spirits, are willing to provide all the spirit stones needed!"
After the Earth Sha Evil Lord finished speaking, Elder He laughed and said, "Earth Sha Evil Lord, don't be nervous. According to my calculations, the area illuminated by a single spirit stone is quite large. In this case, at most three to five hundred thousand spirit stones should be enough to almost cover the entire Evil Shadow Continent. At that time, those Shadow Ghosts will naturally have nowhere to hide. Three to five hundred thousand spirit stones is nothing to you Earth Sha Evil Spirits, right?"
Upon hearing that it would only cost three to five hundred thousand spirit stones, the Earth Sha Evil Lord clearly breathed a sigh of relief!
Although the Earth Sha Evil Spirits Division has recently suffered huge losses, the Earth Sha Evil Lord really doesn't care about the three to five hundred thousand spirit stones.
Just as the Earth Sha Evil Lord was about to nod in agreement, Chu Xinghe suddenly spoke up!
"No! This time, all the spirit stones must be provided by our Vast Heaven Holy Land. We absolutely cannot allow the Earth Sha Evil Lord a single spirit stone!"
Earth Sha Evil Lord: "???"
The audience. "???"
