Ch 140: Chu Mo: In that case, I can only send an avatar to be the Yama King of the Netherworld!
Previously, during the battle between Chu Mo and Fa Hai, he had already cultivated all the cultivation methods he saw from the future Fa Hai, except for the Ghost Control Art, to their peak.
These techniques, directly obtained from the Heroic Spirit Awakened Fa Hai, made Fa Hai himself question his life.
“Just right, I killed nearly a hundred Gods and accumulated more than 200,000 years of divine lifespan.” Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed.
【 In the tenth year, you constantly pondered the Ghost Control Art, but found that you still couldn’t grasp the basics.
Clearly, he had written it as detailed as possible, and you had fused with the spiritual imprint he had branded, and your current realm and insight were extremely high… but for some inexplicable reason, you felt like you were looking at an Olympiad math problem in high school. No matter how detailed the teacher explained it, you just couldn’t understand! 】
Chu Mo: “…”
Is it that outrageous?!
【 In the two hundredth year, after your constant efforts, you finally saw a glimmer of understanding. You realized that if you wanted to grasp the basics of this technique, you had to modify it according to your own situation! 】
【 In the seven hundredth year, you finally succeeded in making preliminary modifications and successfully grasped the basics. 】
Chu Mo felt a slight pain in his teeth. If he remembered correctly, the Heroic Spirits in the main world had only descended for six hundred years, right?
Good heavens, it would take you seven hundred years just to grasp the basics. No wonder no one in the main world has been able to successfully cultivate it so far.
Chu Mo has cultivated for so long, experiencing life after life, and feels that he is definitely not a newbie now. Even if others spend less time than him, it couldn’t be much shorter!
Moreover, for the main world where Heroic Spirits have only descended for six hundred years… it’s impossible for anyone to spend so much energy on this for no reason!
No wonder no one has grasped the basics.
【 In the two thousand four hundredth year, you finally succeeded in cultivating it! You constantly pondered and finally comprehended the Domain of Ten Thousand Ghosts! This domain has an extremely powerful suppressive effect on ghosts. 】
【 In the twenty-seven thousandth year, you finally researched the Ghost Control Art to an unimaginably profound level! You have surpassed the creator of this technique.
Your understanding of ghosts has become extremely profound. Coupled with your unimaginably powerful soul force, any ghost whose spiritual power has not surpassed yours will submit to you after being suppressed and branded! 】
Chu Mo exhaled, sorting out the memories that had suddenly surge into his mind. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he suddenly raised his palm and gently pulled. “Edict, all ghosts within earshot of my voice, appear before me!”
In the next instant, a wail of ghosts and wolves resounded.
To the astonishment of Yang Jian, Fa Hai, and others, densely packed ghosts actually rushed in from all directions and piled up together.
There was also fear on their faces as they struggled constantly, but to no avail.
“…This, this is?!” Fa Hai pursed his lips, his expression immediately becoming serious. “Buddha, then I will…”
However, Chu Mo only formed one seal after another and kept throwing them out. These brands gradually merged into the ghosts’ bodies…
Soon, the few people gasped, staring in shock as the aura on these ghosts gradually changed.
From the original frenzy to peace, and then to obedience.
Finally, even when Chu Mo released the suppression, the hundreds of ghosts did not resist. Instead, they respectfully prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Mo. It was as if they were no longer the simple, mindless ghost creatures they once were…
“You, you, how did you do it?!” Yang Jian stammered. He couldn’t understand… If Chu Mo was relying on his strength to forcibly subdue or convert the intelligent Ghost Kings, he wouldn’t be surprised at all. After all, he is the Buddha!
But how can these unintelligent ghosts be tamed? Is this the Buddha’s method? Even the means of the Ten Yama Kings, or even the Netherworld Emperor, are nothing more than this!
Chu Mo waved his hand, and two slightly larger ghosts squeezed out from the ghost army. Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed as a large number of phantoms were actually projected from the two ghosts. Those were actually their memories!
Fa Hai: “???”
This, is this soul searching… but why is it a little different from what he imagined?
“…As expected, there is a node connecting to the Netherworld nearby. The object these ghosts are loyal to is called the Black Mountain Old Demon?” Chu Mo was thoughtful. That’s right, although Nie Xiaoqian successfully escaped in A Chinese Ghost Story, the Black Mountain Old Demon was not actually killed… He was only severely injured. Only the Tree Demon Granny in the mortal world died!
“You’re not thinking of…? Wait, if you really have this method!” Yang Jian came back to his senses from the shock and realized something. A look of shock and excitement appeared on his face.
Since the collapse of the Netherworld, the disappearance of the Gods, and the rampant ghosts, the people in the mortal world have been living in misery.
If Chu Mo used this method to enter the Netherworld, completely subdue the many ghosts… and issue an order to prevent these ghosts from entering the mortal world again… even let the ghosts manage themselves!
Wouldn’t that be another meaning of… rebuilding reincarnation? Even if these dead ghosts can’t be reincarnated… the significance of this matter is extremely great!
“But…” Yang Jian, who felt that he had seen through Chu Mo’s thoughts, looked a little tangled, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to stop the Jin Dynasty from ravaging the north? If you enter the Netherworld now… then what about the human world…”
“Who said I can only do one thing?” Chu Mo rolled his eyes. He exhaled, and a figure exactly like him instantly took shape. He nodded to the other side, “Then I’ll leave it to you!”
The avatar waved his sleeve, and hundreds of ghosts stood up and led the way faithfully in front.
The corners of Chu Mo’s mouth curled up. Before, he had always been using the Demonic Avatar. It seemed not bad to open a Netherworld Lord, an Supreme Ghost Lord persona this time.
“One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones… but something seems off in terms of perception.” Yang Jian frowned.
“Wait a moment!” Chu Mo keenly grasped the key point, staring intently at Yang Jian. “You mean you’ve seen One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones… That’s right, you’re the most outstanding third-generation disciple of the Primordial Celestial Lord, it would be strange if you hadn’t seen it! Do you control this type of technique?”
◈◈◈
“…Alright, as a third-generation disciple of the Primordial Celestial Lord, it’s indeed unlikely that you would control the fundamental technique of Lord Lao… Then can you reveal some of the Primordial Celestial Lord’s methods?”
Yang Jian: “…”
“Although I don’t really want to refute you! But…” Yang Jian said with a wry smile, “On the one hand, I’m just a wisp of True Spirit reincarnated, and my past memories are very vague… and the techniques I remember are all incomplete. I tried to cultivate them, but it was difficult to grasp the basics.”
“The reason I embarked on the path of cultivation was because my mother… gave me a cultivation technique… I can tell you about this one.”
Chu Mo frowned slightly. Is it similar to how Qi cultivation was forbidden in the Qing Dynasty, and it was difficult to cultivate Confucian-Taoist techniques to a high level in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties?
After thinking about it, Chu Mo still chose… I want them all. He can’t cultivate them now, but maybe he can travel to even more ancient times in the future. What does it matter if they’re incomplete? Anyway, he can add points to cultivate them. Even if he goes berserk, it’s impossible for it to really affect him…
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Jian repeatedly emphasized that Chu Mo promised to only look at them out of curiosity and not cultivate them… and then agreed to Chu Mo’s request. He began to teach… If he could still cultivate them, then he shouldn’t reveal the direct lineage techniques of Chan School one by one…
But still, the celestial gods in the sky are gone now, the master is gone, the Primordial Celestial Lord is gone, and the techniques can’t be cultivated anyway, so there’s nothing big deal about revealing them…
As for Yao Ji’s techniques, as everyone knows, he and the Jade Emperor are enemies. Yang Jian said that he was very enthusiastic about doing things that would make the Jade Emperor unhappy.
Meanwhile…
The Netherworld.
Black Mountain.
Chu Mo’s avatar hung expressionlessly in the sky, and a terrifying aura was released at this moment. Tens of thousands of ghosts all knelt on the ground at this moment! Trembling.
The Black Mountain Old Demon was roaring, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. He couldn’t understand what kind of monster the other side was. Clearly, as a Fourth Realm Immortal, he was much stronger than the other side.
However, the other side controlled a technique that seemed to be the natural enemy of ghosts, which could directly interfere with the operation of the energy in his body. He could only exert 30-40% of his strength!
In a daze, the Black Mountain Old Demon’s pupils shrank, and he found that the avatar was close at hand.
The avatar extended a finger. At this moment, the sound of the Heavenly Buddha resounded, and this finger seemed to turn into a huge stone pillar in an instant, slamming the Black Mountain Old Demon under the mountain.
The terrifying sound of the Buddha constantly washed away the ghostly aura on the Black Mountain Old Demon, as if to completely convert him.
“Buddha, Buddha… How is this possible?!” The Black Mountain Old Demon was desperate. This move inexplicably reminded him of the Five Fingers Mountain that even Sun Wukong couldn’t turn over back then. But… but, wasn’t that the Buddha’s secret technique?
But no matter what, the person in front of him must be an unparalleled Great Buddha!
“Release your spirit and submit to me.” The avatar’s voice did not fluctuate at all.
“…You’re dreaming.” The Black Mountain Old Demon roared with a ferocious expression, and then…
A trace of a terrifying imprint condensed from the avatar’s forehead and forcibly entered the Black Mountain Old Demon’s body. No matter how terrified he was and how hard he resisted, it was all to no avail.
“This spirit… and this majestic righteousness,” a hint of fear appeared in the Black Mountain Old Demon’s eyes. “Sage… How is it possible? Why…”
Why could he be found by a Sage even if he was just staying in the Netherworld?!
Several breaths later.
The avatar dissipated the towering finger.
The Black Mountain Old Demon stood up with a whoosh, then knelt on the ground in front of the avatar, his eyes filled with fanaticism and loyalty. “Sage, your subject, the Black Mountain Old Demon, is willing to serve you…”
“Mm,” the avatar responded casually, his eyes without the slightest fluctuation. “Then let your capable subordinates… come over one by one!”
“Our goal,” the avatar sensed this former Netherworld, sensed the chaos here at all times, and slowly spoke, as if talking to himself, but also as if narrating something, “is to completely conquer the Netherworld… and give it a new order…”
Thinking of something, the avatar added, “By the way, don’t call me Sage… call me Ghost Lord! The Ghost Lord of Reincarnation!”
The Black Mountain Old Demon still lowered his head, his voice resolute, “Yes! Lord Ghost Lord!”
