Chapter 809: Iron Guanyin
Chapter 809: Iron Guanyin
"Heavenly Radiance, Hundred Armies Inquiry!"
A gust of wind blew through the Imperial Capital, a result of the enormous spiritual power gathering and surging within the grand ritual.
Erguotou, setting up such a grand ritual for the first time, felt the unimaginable vastness of this spiritual power, especially since Hu Ma was now serving as the Ground-Pressing Object within the ritual. He recited the Ghost Walker Hu Family's Four Great Curses of Punishment and Annihilation, and the various changes in the city also responded to the curses.
The reincarnates were in a state of shock and trembling, each with their own abilities, but this was the first time they had faced such a situation. Their life force was in disarray, and they didn't know where to direct it, even though Erguotou had pulled them to the ground. They still felt like they might float back into the air at any moment.
But at that moment, Erguotou directed his attention to the Flesh Blood Furnace and cast the Shackling Curse.
The invisible pain and torment caused the Flesh Blood Furnace to seem as if it were suffering, and the surging evil qi slightly subsided.
Immediately after, he cast the Eradicating Word Spell.
The Wang Family Mansion, along with the Lifespan Pavilion in front, covered an area of a thousand acres, an extremely vast space. As Erguotou recited the spell, the entire complex seemed to turn soft.
One by one, the spell wrapped around the objects inside the Wang Family Pharmacy, layer upon layer like fish scales, and the corridors and pillars like chains. It seemed to suppress the items that had already burst out of the pharmacy, pushing them back down as if they were encased in shackles.
Then, Erguotou leaped within the ritual, reciting the Eradicating Word Spell.
Within the ritual, a mysterious and incomprehensible scene unfolded. Each word he spoke seemed to transform into a talisman, floating down from the sky, and falling towards the Flesh Blood Furnace, dissolving the surging evil qi within.
With each falling talisman, the evil qi was dispelled a little more, and its influence and disturbance outside lessened.
Even the dark shadows that entangled the reincarnates seemed to fade slightly.
"I can't hold on any longer, hurry up..."
In the midst of the spellcasting, Erguotou anxiously glanced at Hu Ma, urging him with all his might.
"This ritual is effective, but that thing can only be suppressed, not killed."
Hu Ma understood Erguotou's gaze and dared not show any negligence. With seven Ghost Altars on his back, his movements had become uncontrollably slow.
However, with the power of his nine-pillar cultivation, he took cosmic steps and waved his large sleeves. The eighth Ghost Altar from Old Yin Mountain was summoned, carrying a mighty aura, and flew straight towards the Imperial Capital.
But one altar was not enough. Without hesitation, he summoned the ninth and then the tenth.
The techniques in the Age-Pressing Scroll could only trap that thing and hold it for a limited time.
It was still up to the Twelve Ghost Altars to truly suppress it and sever its desire to enter the mortal realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the altars were summoned, some landing at the eight cardinal directions of the Imperial Capital, and some in front of the incense table.
With each altar summoned, the Flesh Blood Furnace growing beneath the ground sank a little further, as if retracting back into the earth.
In fact, when Hu Ma summoned more than nine Ghost Altars, the weight of the Imperial Capital exceeded that of the Ten Surnames Ancestral Hall when it had been pressed down. The force pushing that thing outwards had already disappeared, and it was impossible for it to truly enter the mortal realm again.
But during this process, it seemed to understand something.
Tai Sui had the innate ability to enter this world, but at this moment, it seemed to abandon that ability and sever itself.
Its massive body was forced back underground, but a portion of its flesh and blood, along with the elixir furnace, fell heavily onto the ground. This mass of flesh and blood continued to wriggle and transform atop the furnace.
"Trouble!"
Erguotou, being highly sensitive to everything within the ritual, noticed this and his face changed drastically.
When that thing tried to enter the mortal realm, it could be pushed back.
But now that a part of it had truly fallen into the mortal realm, it couldn't be pushed back. The moment it entered, it became a part of the mortal world.
"I must take this opportunity to test my abilities!"
At that moment, Hu Ma gritted his teeth and gave Erguotou a meaningful look. Simultaneously, his soul light appeared, and the candlelight on the incense table illuminated his shadow.
Originally, there was just one person, but the shadow began to tear apart, growing larger and larger, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed figure. The central head continued to take cosmic steps, summoning the last two Ghost Altars from Old Yin Mountain.
The left head, filled with malevolence, glared fiercely towards the pharmacy's direction. Then, it split into two arms.
One arm held the precious seal left by Elder Jun Eyebrow, an object of immense weight that could suppress celestial energy.
The other arm was raised high, and outside the city, golden light surged as an object streaked towards them.
It was the Evil Suppressing Golden Whip.
Hu Ma, standing within the ritual, raised his hand high and smashed it towards the direction of the elixir chamber.
After seeing the thing's control over the Golden Armored Warriors, he had never expected to use the Evil Suppressing Golden Whip against it.
After all, the principle was clear: the Evil Suppressing Golden Whip struck at things of this world and slayed the ghosts and gods of the current dynasty.
But that thing had descended from the heavens, and theoretically, the Evil Suppressing Golden Whip couldn't suppress it.
And this time, it was to invite the Twelve Ghost Altars to suppress that thing and also to verify the last method recorded in the Age-Pressing Scroll. Hu Ma did not hesitate to use it.
With heightened nerves, he watched as the things inside the Wang Family's apothecary were firmly suppressed by the Six-Character Mantra, and the Purple Aura was drawn out. Then, the Evil Suppressing Golden Whip also struck down with force.
"Boom!"
The Flesh Blood Furnace shattered instantly, and the writhing flesh and blood instantly transformed into rolling purple aura, surging out like invisible thunder, striking upwards into the dark night sky.
The entire Imperial Capital seemed to clear up in an instant, as if the shadow above had been swept away with a wave of the hand.
"Holy sht..."
Erguotou couldn't believe his eyes and trembled as he glanced at Hu Ma.
"That's right..."
Hu Ma's expression was slightly excited as he said to Erguotou, "The method from the Age-Pressing Scroll is indeed effective..."
"This... this is the method to slay Tai Sui!"
"..."
In that moment of mutual gaze, they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, understanding that what had just been killed was merely a tiny remnant of its immense body left in the mortal realm, but the fact that it could be killed was enough.
"Buzz!"
However, this action seemed to further enrage the entity beneath the Imperial Capital. Despite being suppressed, its innate anger was rekindled by this blasphemous act, causing massive tremors that tilted the entire city, turning the world upside down.
At the same time, Hu Ma's divided attention allowed him to summon two more altars.
The Twelve Ghost Altars returned to their positions, and as these two altars pressed down on the Imperial Capital, the tilting city instantly righted itself. All the citizens of the Imperial Capital felt as if they had been suddenly pulled upright, straightening their bodies.
"What's that sound?"
In the original location of the Ancestral Hall, shrouded in green mist, within the Hu Family Ancestral Hall, the elderly woman was startled.
Outside the shrine, the Ancestral Hall Elder sighed softly, "It's your grandson, Hu Ma. He has grown up."
"He has invited back the Twelve Ghost Altars and suppressed Tai Sui beneath the ground."
"Since Duyi's demise, the world's fate, which had been delayed for twenty-three years, has started to move forward again..."
"..."
The elderly woman seemed slightly saddened, "I watched him grow up, and I watched him become sensible. I stayed here, waiting for his return, but now, I can't seem to understand what he's doing. It's all because of that stubborn and twisted man, they kept their actions hidden from me."
"Don't complain. I'm an outsider, and I see things more clearly."
The Ancestral Hall Elder sighed, "They hid it from you because it was necessary for a Hu family member to guard him."
"They only trust you, and only you can raise a Hu family child the way he should be."
"Of course, your temper is indeed not the best, and your straightforward nature makes it difficult for you to handle such roundabout matters..."
"But all you need to know is that your twenty years of suffering weren't in vain. The Hu family has taken up the responsibility, and it's finally time for those people from the other realm to understand the burden on their shoulders."
"I suppose these lawless folks will realize their place after this setback. They aren't malevolent spirits; that's what your Hu family determined from the start..."
"They are originally immortals, invited down from the heavens. But without someone to establish an altar, even immortals cannot stand in the mortal realm."
"..."
"..."
"Grand Master, the furnace, the furnace has been destroyed..."
In a place far away from the Imperial Capital, the Wang Family's steward followed the Grand Master, occasionally glancing back.
When he sensed something, he reluctantly stopped, his voice trembling.
The Grand Master paused briefly but continued walking forward, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness, "We thought it was an immortal root, but they considered it a curse embryo. Isn't our sacrifice and their demon slaying a matter of mutual benefit?"
"But I also don't know if the Grand Master chose the Hu family instead of me, was it right or wrong?"
"..."
"Did... did you get it done?"
"What the hell was that just now? Can I still dance my song and dance?"
At the same time, in the Imperial Capital, the shadows in the hearts of the reincarnates finally disappeared, replaced by confusion.
Countless bewilderment arose as the strange feeling from earlier lingered, and they had never been so eager for answers.
"Twenty years, a full twenty years..."
But amidst this bewilderment, a voice rang out, heard by all the reincarnates. The voice came directly from the Life Temple.
With a hint of complaint, helplessness, and regret, the voice said, "Twenty years, you bunch of fools. Forget about comprehending the secret of returning home, but not even one of you has touched the threshold? It's only now, when I've reached my limit, that I can finally come out?"
Silence filled the air, and everyone's gaze fell on a large jar.
It was one of the Twelve Ghost Altars, and a woman in a green robe sat quietly on the altar, her eyes filled with exasperation. She said with a hint of anger, "Hello, fellow prisoners!"
