Chapter 164: The End

I can’t explain why I’m uneasy. Although the Grand Master is now in a spirit body state, the situation is not very good, but with the Grand Master’s strength, even in this state, it is much stronger than an ordinary spirit body, not to mention that using a yin vessel to contain a soul is not a complicated matter for Taoist practitioners…

Even if the Grandmaster wants to leave, with his reputation and status, there will always be high priests to protect him and help him pass on. Even if the situation is so bad that there are no high priests, the Grandmaster himself should be able to find a way out.

Since there are ways to advance and retreat, it is entirely possible for the master to stay with us for a while. I have just analyzed it many times in my heart, analyzing all kinds of situations. So what exactly am I worried about?

This time, the Grand Master did not pay any attention to me, but instead paid full attention to the development of the great formation. As the great formation ran smoothly, the spiritual power of the monks led by Jueyuan caused the greatest changes on the island and in the great formation.

First, in the deepest part of the island, an inexplicable hole appeared, and inside the hole were ghosts, which were rapidly returning to the island.

I was familiar with the state of these ghosts because before entering the island, I had seen ghosts in this state before. They had no thoughts and walked slowly towards the outside one by one.

Therefore, I quickly deduced that these were ghosts in the channel of negative energy under the bottom of the lake, attracted by the power of the mind, and all of them were slowly returning. Based on this deduction, the ghosts in the original village would also return soon. Don’t underestimate the power of the mind to attract ghosts. This has a profound impact on them.

First, the power of thought can relieve the suffering of most ghosts whose souls are dominated by resentment. Furthermore, the more power of thought, the more it brings blessings to reincarnation…

The only difference is that after these ghosts returned to the island, they did not walk towards the golden path, but were transported by the power of thought, and turned into light points of souls.

Is this… the soul flying apart? How could this be? Before I could ask, Chengqing couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what about these ghosts…?”

The master said, “Have you not discovered a secret when you entered the new city? Many ghosts have lost their self-awareness and only retain a trace of instinct, completely in a state of puppets. To say one obvious thing, when Chengyi rushed to the throne at the end, he met the red-clad ghost general, and this is the state, understand?”

When the master said this, I realized that this was really the case. Not only the red-clad ghost generals, but also the black-robed ghosts had aroused my suspicion. They behaved fearlessly, fearlessly, instinctively fighting… It turned out that they had no self-awareness and were completely instinctive? This is even worse than the vengeful spirits and vengeful ghosts controlled by resentment!

“Grandmaster, now that you say it, I understand. These ghosts are just empty shells. Without self-awareness, they have no soul core, and they are not much different from the spiritual power that has helped me. It’s just…” I understand why these ghosts cannot be transcended under the power of spiritual power. In essence, they are equivalent to “walking corpses,” and there is no point in transcending them.

They only have a trace of instinct, and as long as they have the instinct of ghosts, they will naturally accept the transcendence of the mind, but in fact they cannot transcend, that’s all!

I can understand that the master wants to use his psychic powers to ‘recall’ their hearts. I don’t need to say why it is so terrible for ghosts with only a trace of instinct and completely under control to enter the world! They are machines that ‘plague’ the world. All I want to ask is how they came to be.

But before I could finish my question, Grandmaster had already spoken up: “You want to know how they came to be? It’s simple. The essence of the new city’s lord is a demon. How does a demon live? It lives by devouring souls. To be precise, it lives by devouring the will of souls. Its ability to create dreams relies on the fragments of countless people’s thoughts. How can everything appear inexplicably? The demon’s ability also does not come from nowhere. There is always a reason.”

This reminds me of a monster that is said to specialize in devouring people’s dreams. It can devour people’s dreams and also create all kinds of dreams for people. Is this not similar to the work of the demon?

The difference is that the dreams of the monsters are more advanced, so that the soul cannot distinguish between reality and dreams, because the monsters devour consciousness and will! Naturally, they are the closest to reality.

Thinking about this, my brain is a bit tired. I always feel that the world is too amazing, and that cause and effect are closely linked. It would take a very clever brain to figure all this out.

After explaining this sentence, the master looked at the four huge golden pillars and said softly, “It’s almost done. The great formation is almost complete.”

Could it be that the formation was still not complete? I stared at the four golden pillars with doubt, but at that moment, cracks suddenly appeared in the purple-red sky corresponding to the four huge pillars of light. After the cracks, there was a deep blackness, inexplicably filled with a mysterious and distant atmosphere.

For the first time, the master’s face showed a hint of excitement as he stared at the four cracks.

A miracle finally happened when we least expected it. Various sounds of howling and neighing came from the four cracks, and then I saw the emergence of four shadowy figures.

The weakness of my soul had left me completely powerless, and I could only lean on Ruoyue to support me from behind as I sat. But when I saw these four shadows, I couldn’t help but stand up all of a sudden.

Not only me, but everyone was excited at this time, all stood up, and their eyes fell on the four vivid shadows. Their expressions became somewhat dazed because of the excitement, and even inexplicably, they were excited to the point of wanting to cry.

Even the master lost his composure and was completely excited.

If there is a miracle, what is a miracle? After all, there is no specific definition of this matter! But now we see it, and anyone who sees it will admit that it is a miracle!

What did we see? The four shadows we saw were the four phases, the real four-phase shadows, not the ‘replacements’ sealed in the four golden pillars of light!

Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise!

As long as you are Chinese, you will be excited to see these four guys!

The four phantoms continued to roar and neigh in the sky. I sensed that the white tiger’s phantom was not only vastly different from the appearance of the stupid tiger, but also not much different from the appearance of the stupid tiger at the moment!

The same whirlwind-like wings, the same metallic flames, could it be the stupid tiger?

“There is a theory of blood unification in this world. There is a reason why your demon tiger can be this powerful! There were many things that happened in ancient times that modern people cannot guess. The bloodline of ancient times has also been passed down, and many monsters have inherited the bloodline of ancient times.” The master saw through my confusion and explained.

Ruyue couldn’t help but ask, “What about that person? Does he have ancient blood?”

“Humans are the most intelligent of all creatures, and they are constantly evolving and developing. What more ancient bloodline do they need? The existence of humans is already a gift from heaven.” The master said softly.

At this moment, the four spirits that were howling in the air suddenly rushed towards the four pillars of light, began to swim in the light pillars, and the beings that were originally in the light pillars suddenly fell into a deep sleep and then flew out of the light pillars.

Shatu was the first to return to the depths of my soul. With our symbiotic intuition, I felt that it had gained some benefits.

Tao Bai, on the other hand, returned to his body, which had been in a coma and was gradually turning cold. Lu Shan wanted to ask him several times, but for some reason, he never did.

Tao Bai’s return gradually warmed his body, but he was still in a coma. For some reason, a red birthmark appeared on his forehead, and then slowly faded away. At this level, even if the bangs were removed, it was not very obvious. You had to look carefully to see it.

Our demon spirits have returned one after another. At this time, the master looked at Xiao Chengqian with his hands behind his back and said, “Don’t you want a symbiotic soul?”

Xiao Chengqian was suddenly excited. He had seen the power of the demon soul and the magic of symbiosis. He was excited when he faced such a question from his master. He almost asked his master in a trembling voice, “Can I also have a symbiotic soul?”

The master looked at Xiao Chengqian and said, “That poor spirit of the dragon, you can communicate with it according to my method. If it is willing, you can live with it. Its bones are buried deep in that island. At that time, you can take a piece of its transverse bone.

Xiao Chengqian was so excited that he kept bowing to my master, and he kept calling him “uncle” over and over again.

The master was obviously a person who was afraid of being verbose, so he simply ignored Xiao Chengqian and continued to stare at the great formation. The great formation with the true power of the four spirits had undergone an astonishing change.

The Buddha’s light was fixed under the island and disappeared below the water level. The golden patterns no longer appeared in the air, but gradually sank into the island and then disappeared.

Then the eighteen thin pillars of light also disappeared. The energy of the four huge pillars of light continued to be transmitted along the golden channel to the black rotating hole. Then the golden channel became blurred, and a white mist appeared around it. Through the white mist, I vaguely saw a road in the new city.

The black hole was no longer a hole, but had become a road that extended into the depths of the hole, with no end in sight.

Eventually, the white mist appeared in large quantities. After the white mist gradually dispersed, the four golden pillars of light disappeared, the road disappeared, and the black hole disappeared. Finally, a large amount of mental energy gathered together and disappeared into the sky.

Everything was covered, as if the great formation had never existed.

Such a shocking change made me ask, “Master, what is that black hole?”
