Ghost Metal
Sword Tomb Blessed Land.
On the cracked earth stood rows of charred trees, Fang Yu recognized at a glance as paulownia trees.
Looking around, the entire blessed land was covered with charred phoenix trees, but there was not a trace of fire Spiritual Qi, nor was there a single sword in sight.
There are no swords within the Sword Tomb Blessed Land, only an endless forest of scorched paulownia trees.
Fang Yu raised his left hand, Sun and Moon Startling Wheels floated above it. The blood mist formed from the flesh, blood, soul, and true spirit of the Moon-Embracing True Person Immortal had been completely absorbed by the Sun and Moon Startling Wheels.
A cyan Sword Qi aura emanated from the twin blades, adding to their divine Divine Ability.
With Fang Yu caused the moon to vanish, transforming into a waning crescent moon in the sky, casting its cool moonlight to illuminate the blessed land.
By using the Purple Mansion as a sacrifice, one can create a Heavenly-grade Dao Artifact, which can be called a divine weapon. When Fang Yu was studying the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual - Molten Edge Flow" before, he thought that the Dao Artifact he created by achieving his own Divine Ability was a divine weapon. But now he truly understands that a divine weapon must naturally have "Divine Ability". And where do Divine Ability come from? They can only be obtained by sacrificing the Divine Ability of other Purple Mansion True Person into the Dao Artifact. Otherwise, it can at most be called a "Spirit Treasure".
Reflecting on his experiences at the Goldstone Sect, Dao Foundation had already sacrificed the Tie Household members, and now he had sacrificed the Moon-Embracing Sword Immortal, truly plundering the Divine Ability of the 'Sword Dao'.
Furthermore, the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual - Molten Edge Flow" that he cultivated is also a lineage of Mount Longhu. Does this mean that he might truly be a reincarnated disciple of the "Fire and Thunder" lineage of Mount Longhu?
Was it all predetermined that he would obtain the "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual" from Zhang Daochang back then?
However, my destiny is [Wings Fire], and the innate divine Divine Ability I cultivate, [Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze], is also predetermined. If I am truly a disciple of Mount Longhu, then what is Mount Longhu's purpose?
Is it merely to use me to forge a divine weapon? To strike at the Purple Mansion, the lineage of the 'Sword Dao', or... for this blessed land?
Fang Yu's gaze swept over the thousands of sycamore trees as he thought of this.
Is this Sword Tomb Blessed Land truly Sword Tomb Blessed Land?
As Fang Yu spent more and more time in the blessed land, he could clearly sense that his connection with this blessed land was becoming stronger, and he also learned how to unlock the fortuitous opportunity in the blessed land.
However, if he were to unlock the fortuitous opportunity in this place, would he then become useless, just like the ' Moon-Embracing Sword Immortal ' who believed this place to be a ' Sword Tomb Blessed Land,' and even that the establishment of the Goldstone Sect was predetermined?
'I possess the Yuanchen Pearl, which allows me to traverse blessed lands at any time and return to the Great Scarlet Heaven. If anything truly goes wrong, I can also leave.'
The doubt in Fang Yu's eyes gradually faded, replaced by determination.
If everything is predetermined, then he cannot escape it. Just like before, he hid in the Dao of Qi Refining for forty years, but still could not escape it. Now that the fortuitous opportunity is before him, he should seize it first.
"Crack... bang..."
A wisp of flame emerged from a sycamore tree below, then spread throughout the entire tree, causing it to burn fiercely.
One, two, three... countless sparks emerged from the sycamore trees, igniting them like giant torches burning.
"Click..."
Accompanied by the crackling of burning wood, wisps of smoke rose into the sky, forming clouds of smoke.
Fang Yu looked up at the smoke and clouds.
As the sycamore trees continued to burn, more and more smoke gathered, and the smoke seemed to come alive, constantly churning and gradually forming a huge phantom in the sky.
The phantom slowly grew curved horns that stretched to both sides. As the skin of its face solidified, it became clear that it was a human with a sheep's head.
Just then, the sheep's two eyes opened, causing the sycamore trees below to burn even more profusely.
[Ghost Metal - Metal Element]
A Divine Thought shaped like a ram's horn appeared in Fang Yu's sea of consciousness. This Divine Thought seemed to be his own, without causing any rejection, and the Yuanchen Pearl also showed no reaction.
In an instant, his Divine Thought raced, and scene after scene appeared in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!
I will slaughter you all, you lackeys of Heavenly Dao's Way!
[You consume the essence of heaven and earth to grow yourselves, which is a method against the will of heaven and cannot last. You should follow the way of Heavenly Dao and cultivate a new method. In the future, you too can join the ranks of immortals and live as long as heaven and earth.]
[Hahaha! Become an immortal? That means you'll never be able to escape!]
[What we cultivators seek is to live as long as heaven and earth. Since the Heavenly Dao has granted us this Golden Position, why don't you accept it!]
[What I seek is immortality and carefree existence, not harmony with Heaven. Besides, without us, how could Heavenly Dao grant you such Golden Position?]
[The Heavenly Dao are predetermined. Since you do not wish to ascend to the Golden Position, then return to the ways of Heaven!]
[...]
Fang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and the Ghost Metal Goat's eyes opened at the same time. The eyes were like abysses, reflecting the fallen figures of ancient cultivators.
At the same time, a scroll of scripture appeared before his eyes:
The Taiyi Salvation Sutra for the Dead in the Underworld
In the long, dark night, my spirit is scattered and my soul is lost.
Taiyi shines its light, and the Nine Netherworlds open their gates.
Ksitigarbha.
With the Ghost Metal as the contract, all spirits return to their natural state.
Chapter One: Establishing the Underworld
The Taiyi Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering commands the Ghost Emperors of the Ten Directions.
Now, by the holy wish of Ksitigarbha, we have established the Court of the Nine Springs.
Fengdu Mount Luo was established, divided into ten palaces of hell.
Examine the good and evil deeds of one's previous life, and sever the cause and effect of reincarnation.
Chapter Two: Casting Ghost Metal
The Celestial Venerable pointed to the earth, causing a mysterious spring to gush forth, which transformed into a vast, boundless river of
One gold coin can absolve a sin; ten gold coins can buy a lifetime of enlightenment.
Chapter Three: Defining the Deliverance
Chapter Four: Taking Power
If you accumulate gold into a mountain, you'll open the Ghost Gate Pass.
Transforming gold into vapor can quench the flames of a raging inferno.
Those who uphold this scripture hold the secrets of Yin and Yang.
Soul and spirit, do not linger for the setting sun.
The Ghost Metal shines brightly, illuminating your return home.
Ksitigarbha's Compassionate Vow, Taiyi Mysterious Chapter.
The scripture flashed by, transforming into a talisman that floated towards Fang Yu.
Fang Yu subconsciously reached out and caught the talisman, and a complete set of methods for obtaining gold immediately came to mind.
As the scriptures indicate, for someone with the "Ghost Metal" destiny, establishing the underworld and creating a complete netherworld is the process of seeking gold.
When the Underworld is established, he can also ascend to the [Ghost Metal] Golden Position, and can jointly govern the Underworld with the [Great Emperor of Fengdu], [Taiyi Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering], and [Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva].
He had already met the designated successors of the two Golden Position, [Taiyi Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering] and [Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva], and they were deeply entangled in destiny.
Zhang Daochang is the successor of Taiyi Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering, and Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden is the successor of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Both the Taiyi Profound Gate and the Buddhist sect have extended their reach into the yet-to-be-established Underworld, and he, the designated successor of the "Great Emperor of Fengdu," should indeed be a disciple of Mount Longhu.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu looked at the Heavenly Dao Talisman in his hand, then his eyes fell on the Sun and Moon Startling Wheels spinning around him.
Now, he only needs to undergo self- Liberation by Violence and reincarnate to directly inherit the metal element of [Ghost Metal Goat]. In his next life, he can follow the way of Heavenly Dao, establish the underworld smoothly, ascend to the Golden Position, and live as long as heaven and earth from then on.
But he felt something was off.
