Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 85 Cutting Paper Soldiers
Emerging from the Western Market, a vast expanse of white mist surged forth, forming a heavenly avenue. Any Yin official or divine general who dared to obstruct this path was immediately struck down. After their physical bodies were drained of strength, countless black specters screamed and transformed into dark mist, sweeping across the heavens!
Likewise, they continued to clamor, seeking to seize Ji Xiang’s body!
The same actions, the same fear, the same arrogance and hubris.
“Do not judge a person’s strength based on their physical cultivation alone.”
Ji Xiang also extended his hand, grasping forward! This grip manifested a magnificent sky, a world without impurity!
Their specters shattered, from south to north, ceaselessly and without pause. Just as the black specters felt the “Dao attainment” emanating from Ji Xiang an instant before their destruction, they could only shout out with their last breaths, seemingly warning those “companions” who had yet to arrive!
They did not recognize the divine abilities of the Ascension realm, but they could sense the “surface strength” that Ji Xiang displayed!
“It’s a Golden Core Earth Immortal, run…!”
Bang!
Their specters vanished in the blink of an eye. Subsequently, the shattered void rapidly repaired itself. The chaotic environment of the world suddenly stilled, and the vulgar and arrogant words disappeared from his ears. Heaven and earth became utterly silent, leaving only the murmuring sound of the *Supreme Savior Sutra* being recited.
“Now that I have arrived, all of you shall become ashes!”
Not sparing a single one, Ji Xiang cleansed all the wandering Yin officials and divine generals in the surrounding area, turning the vicinity of the Han Jing Factory into a vacuum zone. Ji Xiang had never been to the Great High Mystery Palace (Da Gao Xuan Dian), nor did he know its exact location, but he had heard the Grand Eunuch of the Divine Palace Supervision say that it was at the foot of Jingshan Mountain in the north.
The Bright Light Heavenly Book (Mingguang Tianshu) once again revealed its profundity. Ji Xiang roughly visualized the location in his mind, ignited incense on his fingertip, and wrote characters, generating a natural flying mystic aura. Then, he transformed into a cloud of white smoke using the Earth Travel Divine Art and遁地 (dundì) –遁 (escape, evade) 地 (earth), and vanished into the ground!
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Great High Mystery Palace, the two bells at his waist shaking wildly, emitting a violent jingling sound!
The Yin energy here was so heavy that it should not exist in the mortal realm!
The Yin and Yang within the Capital (Shuntian Fu) were now out of balance, and the Great High Mystery Palace was ruined, no longer possessing its original *Zhen* trigram central function.
Rumble! The ground suddenly shook. Ji Xiang saw the Mystery Palace gate before him actually sink several feet into the ground! The three gates were now askew. The gate on the left collapsed with a deafening crash due to the shattered foundation, turning into dust.
“This shouldn’t be caused by my Earth Evasion, right? Heh….”
Ji Xiang stepped over the gate and arrived at the outer gate of the Great High Mystery Palace – the Glazed Tile Gate!
........
In front of the Supreme Pavilion, Tian Fengyu suddenly felt uneasy!
He was here, reversing Yin and Yang, using great magic to invert the positions of the Supreme Pavilion and the Xiangyi Palace, so that the Jade Emperor could replace the statue of the Jiajing Emperor and play its intended role as usual.
"Why do I feel so panicked!"
Tian Fengyu's body had many scars and cracks, from which blood flowed freely.
Like Ji Xiang, this "Tian Fengyu's" divine position and physical body were too weak to withstand powerful magic.
At this moment, Tian Fengyu shook out a pile of talismans from his sleeve. These were all the talismans he had forcibly bought from the Han Jing Factory during the day. These talismans should have belonged to Ji Xiang, but now they were in his leader’s hands. After giving them to the people of the Western Market, there were still quite a few left over.
He put two fingers together and casually swiped a few times in the void, chanting: "Supreme Emperor of Taiwei, guarding the spirit in the alchemy chamber, creating soldiers and armor, expelling evil and assisting righteousness, Yang energy spreading throughout the body, restoring the Yellow Court, the Emperor's power of the Heavenly Talisman, deterring weapons!"
"Cut paper into soldiers! Quickly go to the mountain gate to investigate!"
Immediately, these talismans fell to the ground and became people, wearing golden lacquer armor and holding eighteen kinds of weapons. In a trance, they also transformed into flesh and blood, each of them a giant nine feet tall! Obeying Tian Fengyu's order, they went to the Glazed Tile Gate to investigate!
Tian Fengyu also pinched out his own flesh and blood essence and dripped it on two paper figures. These two paper figures manifested their shapes, but they were different from the previous paper figures, even more majestic and imposing, and their armor was not in the style of Song armor.
Forty-nine paper generals flew away, leaving the Great High Mystery Gate, leaving behind the two special paper generals. The remaining forty-seven paper figures arrived at the tightly closed Glazed Tile Gate.
The leading paper general was about to push open the Glazed Tile Gate when suddenly the Glazed Tile Gate exploded in front of him, and the surrounding brick walls collapsed with a bang. A large amount of white smoke rushed towards him, but the paper figures were not affected, because they were transformed by spells, not real divine generals!
In an instant, hand sabers, dropped sabers, eyebrow tip sabers, phoenix beak sabers; double hook spears, single hook spears, ring spears, plain wooden spears! Countless weapons struck towards the destroyed Glazed Tile Gate, either splitting, stabbing, slashing, or striking!
A large Green Dragon Crescent Blade came crashing down from the air! But it was swept away by a vermilion horsetail whisk, and smashed to the ground on the spot!
"Not divine generals, but transformed by spells? Cutting paper into people or scattering beans to become soldiers?"
In the white smoke, a red flag followed, carrying a cold voice, and waved fiercely at these paper generals!
Boom! Half of the light illuminated the dark high sky, and the Glazed Tile Gate was instantly swallowed into the raging fire!
The滔天 (tāotiān,滔 (overflowing) 天 (heaven)), raging fire rushed towards them, instantly rising tens of feet from the ground. These paper figures were ignited by the fire, and the fierce flames burned unceasingly. The soaring flames smashed through the walls, swallowing bricks and yellow skin, and even Tian Fengyu, who was far away in front of the Supreme Pavilion, saw this situation!
Outside the Glazed Tile Gate, the flames blazed brightly!
“After all, someone found it, the aura of the comer is extremely strong, it should be an Earth Immortal!”
“But it’s useless even if they come now, the replacement is complete, even if they have the power to move mountains and lift up the two palaces, and change them back to their original positions, Yin and Yang cannot be corrected!”
“The holy ancestor's divine body is about to descend to the mortal world, this place has become an Yin land. From Yin returning to Yang, my Yin world body can be resurrected with the help of this physical body in the Yang world, and then I can fight this Earth Immortal in the form of the Yang world.”
"I still have to wait a bit longer."
At this time, "Tian Fengyu" sighed, expressing his dissatisfaction with this physical body in his heart. After all, if this physical body reached the sixth Divine Power Realm, then the moment Ji Xiang appeared in front of the Glazed Tile Gate, he would have clearly known that someone was coming.
The Divine Power Realm has incredible divine power, and it is the advancement of the fifth Manifestation Realm.
Tian Fengyu sat in place, took out a small knife, entrusted it with his magic power, and then inserted it into his neck, gradually cutting open the skin, flesh, and even the cervical vertebrae!
Again and again, extremely hard, as if to chop off his entire head.
With his movements, a large amount of black blood spurted and seeped out of his neck and seven orifices. His entire lower body became a blood man. With such a large amount of bleeding, this physical body was bound to die!
The entire ground was also dyed pitch black.
“Hehe... Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang, Rising from the Dead!”
