Chapter 161: The Most Beautiful Scenery

Human memories are like old black and white photos. In the quiet darkness, when they are occasionally remembered, they slowly play. But like a movie, they can only be watched, not touched. With the taste of time, they are turned over one by one, one by one, and a period of time has passed.

But in that black and white, there are always some bright pictures, as the highlights of memories, forever frozen in that scene.

The final battle at the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts is a bright spot in my memory. In that light spot, I saw a dragon, as if it were a materialized dragon, wrapping around the lord of the new city, and I saw the ferryman’s body falling rapidly, like a willow leaf in the wind.

I saw the tearful figure of Huigen rushing out, desperately trying to catch the ferryman. I could almost hear the ferryman’s helpless cry as he fell: “I fought for you to have the last moment.”

Then, I saw myself, as if I could still feel the pain in my soul at that time. The unbearable power of heaven and earth finally turned into a hammer, hammering my soul mercilessly. At the same time, it also ignited a sense of pride in my chest, because the power of heaven and earth around me had turned into a vast ocean, roaring fiercely. Reality was distorted like a desert under high temperatures because of this activation.

Such a strong force could not be trampled on, and my footsteps slowly fell, but at the same time, a black hole was slowly forming at the boundary stone. This black hole carried a terrifying, mysterious unknown power that could make people unconsciously surrender from the bottom of their hearts with just one glance. That day, I had already felt that feeling for the second time, and the first time came from the communication between heaven and earth through the technique of thunder punishment.

It was as if the black hole had stimulated the lord of the new city, and at that moment he went completely mad. I saw with my own eyes the dazzling purple light explode from the body of the lord of the new city, illuminating a small patch of the sky.

Purple light, so noble, yet so indifferent, a superior being?

The blood dragon, which was like a materialized dragon, collapsed at the moment the purple light bloomed, turning into a drop of light golden liquid that floated down into the lake.

“Hua Yi, you finally hurt my essence, but you won’t live, you won’t live.” The mad shouts of the city lord were met with a weak voice from Hua Yi. He said to Huigen, “Catch it, use your mind power to pull it…”

And then I was completely immersed in the world of thought and perception. As the final step of the gong fell, I felt my entire soul being drained.

The light returned to its place, the seven stars lit up, and the seven star powers were connected. Under the communication of the step-gong, it began to slowly flow. A terrible heaven and earth pressure instantly enveloped this space, locking the target in place.

I opened my eyes weakly and saw the hand of the lord of the new city. It was less than ten centimeters away from my face, but it was locked by the power of the stars and could no longer move.

I saw the first expression of despair on his face. I smiled and then spat out a mouthful of blood. No, judging from the heat and the sudden chill in my chest, it was a mouthful of heart blood.

Then, my body began to fall towards the lake below… My memory stops here, the most brilliant final blow, the flash in my memory!

What happened next? Next, I saw the most beautiful scenery.

When I woke up again, it was Yue who was supporting me from behind. My eyes were a little unfocused, and the scenery I saw was a little blurry. I felt very wet, and the most frightening thing was the weakness that came from the depths of my soul, which was exactly the same as the feeling of soul trauma that time, only slightly less severe.

“Chengyi, it’s okay. Chengxin has some ginseng essence that can help you recover.” Chengqing’s voice sounded in my ear.

I smiled. I knew they were afraid that I would be as decadent as last time, but how could that be? This time, I was doing it for the Grand Master, and I was only proud.

The figure of the master floated into my eyes. I had many questions to ask, and I was still worried about the ferryman, the master of Huigen, and… But the master looked into the distance and said to me, “Don’t ask anything. There should be the most beautiful scenery next. I have carefully laid out the scenery that I have been looking forward to for many years.

What kind of scenery would it be? My curiosity was suddenly aroused. Ruoyue wiped my face and wet hair with her sleeve from behind, just so that I could see more clearly.

My eyes wandered around, and I saw Xiao Chengqian casting spells on the side. He was also wet, and I could tell at a glance that it was this kid who pulled me out of the lake.

As if sensing my gaze, Xiao Chengqian pointed with his hand and said, “The gray mist is almost gone, the great array is connected, and all the array points have begun to function. It will start to operate as soon as the final soul power is in place.”

Xiao Chengqian was pointing at the big island. As he said, the gray mist was almost gone, but most of the ghosts on the island had already woken up and were wandering around in restless roars. Only a few ghosts had not woken up yet, but it looked like they would soon.

My brows furrowed slightly. So many angry spirits and fierce ghosts have awakened. Even if the old city lord is dead and the new city lord is trapped, it is still a disaster. Even if they lose control, they are even more terrifying than the two ghost masters.

But the next moment, my brows relaxed. I saw that between the twenty-two pillars of light, there was already a golden connection between them, and the four largest pillars of light had split apart a ray of light, which was slowly extending in one direction. When I looked closely at the direction of the extension, it was the direction of the boundary pillar.

Before the boundary pillar, the slowly forming black hole has slowly become larger and larger, still full of pressure, so mysterious.

The reason I relaxed was because I knew that this great formation had the power to suppress. These ghosts were restless and wandering, but because of the suppression of the great formation, they could not go beyond a certain range, so to speak, they were safe.

“What are you doing?” I asked Xiao Chengqian weakly. I really don’t know what this kid is doing at this time.

“Oh, it was my great-uncle who told me to wait until the formation was in operation, then I could use a secret method to borrow some of the power of the formation to completely destroy that guy.” He pointed with his finger, and I saw the lord of the new city.

At the moment, it is trapped in the seven star forces. Not to mention breaking out, it is suppressed by the seven star forces, and it cannot even move. Moreover, the seven star forces can slowly drain its power.

Unfortunately, my power is limited, and the cage formed by the celestial and earthly stances can only last for an hour, otherwise it can even kill the New City Lord alive.

This is truly the most advanced Taoist magic, with incredible power.

Feeling my gaze, the new city lord looked at me with hatred and suddenly yelled at the master: “You won’t succeed. What if you build the great formation? Will these vengeful ghosts and evil spirits obey? Will the guys I released from the secret passage come back? Enough, it’s enough. I’ve succeeded. I’ve released so many vengeful ghosts to the human world. Once Hucun falls, how many people do you think can stop the tide of ghosts? You…”

Before the lord of the new city could finish his sentence, the master looked at him with a faint smile and interrupted him directly: “Do you think I don’t know about all your plans? You should know that I’m not the only one working hard. Shh… don’t talk anymore. Let’s enjoy the scenery together.”

As soon as the words of the master had finished, the island of gray mist suddenly burst into golden light. The complex golden patterns I had seen before suddenly appeared in the air, enveloping the entire island.

Then, a ball of pale blue soul power suddenly rose into the air, silently exploded, and turned into a few light spots, rushing towards the golden array in the void. Then, one ball after another, countless balls of pale blue soul power exploded in the air, like the most beautiful blooming fireworks…

Blue light points formed and floated in the air, all of them rushing towards the golden array. The golden array glowed brightly, and the twenty-two golden pillars began to spin endlessly. The gray mist scattered, and a golden bridge formed from the four largest pillars, firmly connecting to the black hole.

The black hole stopped spinning, and a mysterious array began to spread around it. I couldn’t even understand what it was, and I saw a door frame form.

Inside the door frame, a bright red color spread out, extending all the way to the hillside where the boundary stone was located… The hillside was originally covered with strange flowers, but now it was all bright red… bright red Manjushri!

Is this the most beautiful scenery? I widened my eyes, feeling that my eyes were no longer enough. I found that I was really at a loss for words. I simply couldn’t describe the changes in the world at this moment, the shock it brought, and the beauty that was full of tragic and mysterious artistic conception. It was like a landscape that had never been experienced. How could you understand its artistic conception from a picture?

But that’s not the end. The gray mist on the island dissipates, and suddenly a ray of light shines from the center of the island. Sitting in the light is a figure, but from a distance I can’t see who it is. But I know by instinct that it is Master Hongren.

Around his body, there were five huge black chains that locked him up, but they were all breaking at the moment, no longer imprisoning Master Hongren.

What will happen next? Didn’t the master say that it wasn’t just his own effort?
