The dragon's spirit unleashed layers of chilling energy, spreading outwards like a tidal wave.
He had been sealed away for so long that he had almost forgotten what it felt like to soar through the sky.
So it continues to rise higher; it doesn't roar, but its spirit keeps ascending.
Too much time has passed. The once indestructible body, forged through countless trials and tribulations, has long since vanished into nothingness in Zhi Guangji's hands, leaving only his long-dormant Dragon Spirit.
The Primordial Sin Dragon "Bi," which once roamed the Northern Pole and nearly froze the world, raises its head upwards.
Back then, the Black Emperor Zhi Guangji only destroyed its physical body, but also sealed its Dragon Spirit beneath the Yin-Yang Realm, making it the cornerstone of this realm.
Now that the Yin-Yang Realm has been shattered, it has finally regained its freedom.
Its pupils gazed down at the landscape below.
That person.
Dragon Spirit's eyes locked onto Zhongyuan. How many years had passed? Yet this person was still here.
But this world is no longer your world.
Zhongyuan didn't look at it; instead, his figure gradually faded away.
The Dragon Spirit turned east, stirring up layers of cold waves; it was time to return to the sea.
With a dragon's roar, a winding crimson dragon appeared in the air, closely following the Dragon Spirit Dragon Spirit and gradually dispelling the chill emanating from it.
The two dragons, one in front and one behind, headed straight for the Eastern Sea.
Su Che felt like he was floating.
Indeed, the Yin-Yang Realm has long since undergone a complete reversal of heaven and earth. The heavy Yin Qi that once hung high in the sky has now surged to the ground beneath our feet, while those palaces and cities are now above our heads.
Countless Hungry Ghost are still battling against the spirits in the Yin-Yang Realm, but it all seems to have become meaningless.
Yun Luo hugged her waist with her left hand and grabbed Lu Bai's shoulder with her right, fleeing at top speed.
The Yin-Yang Realm was collapsing, and Su Che seemed to see Guobei County before his eyes.
The boundless Yin Qi swept through the raging winds, and countless Hungry Ghost sprang forth, seemingly dyeing the sky of Guobei County a deep black.
I have finally arrived in Guobei County.
Beimang Ghost Ancestor sheathed his sword and stood there, with Yuwen Rui, the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei, standing beside him.
" The Ghost Ancestor has rendered great service to the country this time. I will certainly report this to the Emperor and have him confer upon the Ghost Ancestor the title of Protector of the Nation and Divine True Person."
Yuwen Rui stood with his hands behind his back, facing the Immortal True Person beside him as if he were a long-time friend.
"With the shattering of the Yin-Yang Realm, the Hungry Ghost Path has been established. Countless Hungry Ghost Vicious Spirit will spread poison to the Southern Dynasty. Regardless of whether the Southern Dynasty emperor is willing or not, or what Wei Huaiwen thinks, they will have to withdraw their troops this time."
The Beimang Ghost Ancestor looked at the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei: "Grand Tutor used the sealed Dragon Spirit from the Yin-Yang Realm to command the Qiantang and Dongting lineages, persuading Master High Person Mùlián's supernatural Divine Ability and establish a Buddhist School temple. It's laughable that the Censorate and the Imperial Demon Hunters of Southern Liang are still in a hurry to find some Golden Book Assembly. Grand Tutor's skillful maneuvering and ability to turn the world upside down are truly admirable."
Yuwen Rui smiled slightly, "What wisdom do I possess? It's merely a matter of everyone getting what they need. Didn't Listening-Rain Tower also obtain the Yin-Yang Dharma King and that item?"
"Grand Tutor, please be careful with your words. I only acted out of respect for you and out of my own ambition for the Great Wei to unify the world. As for this Listening-Rain Tower, I have never even heard of it."
Yuwen Rui looked up at the sky and smiled slightly.
"Speaking of that disciple that Ghost Ancestor took in during the Southern Dynasty, whether his surname is Su or Zuo, I find him very pleasing. Should I give him some more benefits...?"
"Him?"
The Beimang Ghost Ancestor looked at Yuwen Rui and said, "The younger generation has its own affairs; there's no need for Grand Tutor to trouble himself."
That old devil.
Yuwen Rui remained silent, gazing quietly at the Yin-Yang Realm before him.
The Yin-Yang Realm was inevitably heading towards collapse, and at this moment, a pure white lotus flower gradually bloomed.
Through the combined efforts of eighteen Ancient Buddha in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Hungry Ghost Path was finally extended into this Yin-Yang Realm.
The Yin-Yang Realm, Guobei County, and the Hungry Ghost Path.
The boundaries between the three gradually disappeared, and they merged into one.
The majestic images of the three Jewel-Born Tathagata, Dharma Radiance Tathagata, Virtuous Deed Tathagata – hang in the sky above the Central Land.
"Our Buddha has three sutras—past, future, and present—that deliver all from suffering and distress. Good men, good women, and all faithful believers in Central Land, whoever sincerely take refuge in us, we will all save them and liberate them. Anyone who has even a single thought of taking refuge in our Buddha will surely attain boundless bliss and Longevity Realm a long and peaceful life."
The vast Buddha Light proclaims to the people of Central Land that Buddhist School, which ceased when the Tathagata with the Lion Azure Lotus Perfected Tathagata demonic possession, is making a comeback today.
Pure Land, spotless, lotus blossoms open and close.
The lotus enveloped Guobei County and the Yin-Yang Realm, and the Hungry Ghost and Vicious Spirit of the Yin-Yang Realm that had not yet escaped gradually submitted under the Buddha Light.
At this moment, another Ancient Buddha appeared in the world.
The three Venerables, Baosheng, Shande, and Faming, bowed together to this Ancient Buddha.
The first Ancient Buddha to transmit the Dharma at Spirit Coffin Temple, the Golden Light Supreme King Buddha, manifested in this world.
This powerful being of Earth Immortal level gazed at the sky, his face filled with sorrow.
High above the heavens, a colossal stele descended from the Ling Kong, plunging straight into the heart of this newly born realm of Hungry Ghost Path.
Without lingering, Yuwen Rui turned north and rode the wind.
The falling of this stele signifies that Mysterious Capital Palace has finally mobilized, and everything has reached a point of resolution.
What's the point of lingering any longer?
Moreover, there must be countless masters in the Southern Dynasty waiting to reap his life.
" Ghost Ancestor, even the Golden Light Supreme King has arrived. If we don't leave soon, we might really be converted into Buddhist School."
The Ghost Ancestor stared intently at the giant monument falling from the sky.
Zhongyuan was right; Mysterious Capital Palace and Spirit Coffin Temple had indeed known each other for a long time.
Layers of Dao Resonance rose up, revealing celestial palaces in the sky, where an immortal in a tall crown and wide belt strolled through the air.
The newcomer's head was adorned with auspicious clouds, revealing him to be a Earth Immortal being.
"The coffin will be placed in the Lingjiu Spirit Coffin Temple."
The Dharma's sound was clear and melodious, deeply moving.
The Buddha of Golden Light, the Most Victorious King, recited the Buddha's name and bowed below.
"By imperial decree of Xuandu, you may spread Buddhism within the territory of Guobei County, but you shall not exceed this limit."
"I obey your command."
The Golden Light Buddha bowed to the giant stele, the profound inscriptions on it causing a slight pain in his eyes.
They're finally back, but the price they paid was far too heavy.
For this small plot of land, Spirit Coffin Temple went so far as to pledge allegiance to the Mysterious Capital Palace, with several Ancient Buddha personally appearing beyond the realm to lobby for its sake.
Spirit Coffin Temple is ultimately inferior to the Mysterious Capital Palace.
His eyes were fixed on the Dharma Radiance Tathagata below.
"Fa Ming."
"World Honored One."
"You have cultivated yourself from countless eons past, forming a karmic connection with the Central Land. You should protect the sentient beings of the Central Land and safeguard this land for propagating the Dharma. Know that the Buddha's teachings are like a lamp; even a small patch of land can illuminate the long night of eternity."
"This disciple understands; though it is but a small place, the Buddha Light shines eternally."
"Excellent, excellent. I will now expound upon the immeasurable Dharma for you, Di Ting Di Ting..."
The Golden Light Buddha, the Most Victorious King, clasped his hands together in prayer.
Fragrant flowers rain down from the sky, and golden lotuses spring forth from the earth.
The Dharma Radiance Tathagata sat below, the Virtuous Deed Tathagata sat to the left of the Buddha of Supreme Victory, Jewel-Born Tathagata to the right of the Buddha of Supreme Victory.
Rays of Buddha Light shot straight into the heavens, as if the Supreme Buddha of Golden Light himself was preaching. However, the Buddhist chants could not penetrate beyond the county seat of Guobei County.
Between heaven and earth, an invisible barrier isolates it within a small space.
