Chapter 1032: Chapter 1031: It’s Actually a Ghost That Knows the Earth Travel Technique
Shen Ying’s eyes flashed, looking at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng blinked and nodded, "True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, you know."
"Is it really?" Shen Ying looked curiously at Ruiyi who was casting a spell.
She didn’t know who the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao was before, only heard that Yuan Mountain Temple inherited this person, belonging to the Daoist Sect body refinement lineage. It was only after going to the Blue Star that she witnessed various legends about Erlang God. By synthesizing various legends, she realized this individual was a top-tier big shot.
Hence, seeing Daoist Ruiyi casting the spell at this moment intrigued her, especially this technique with golden light on the forehead, it looked quite picturesque!
Zen Master Chi Huan introduced, "This is Yuan Mountain Temple’s secret technique, the ’Golden Radiance Celestial Eye Method,’ said to be passed down from the Upper Realm’s True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao. It sees the Nine Heavens above and the Nine Netherworld below. No blinding or confusing techniques can escape the gaze of this celestial eye."
Lu Zheng nodded, realizing, "Ah, I see. Impressive. No wonder it can see through the deeply hidden ghost qi in this town and Qingquan’s true physical form."
Although Liu Qingquan’s cultivation isn’t high, she’s practiced the ’Tushan Scripture’ and has the Merit Golden Light concealing her true form. Generally, Abnormal People can’t see through it at all.
Of course, given the difference in cultivation, the Golden Radiance Celestial Eye Method isn’t True Monarch Erlang’s vertical eye on the forehead, so Ruiyi can’t see through Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying’s true forms and hasn’t discovered Lu Zheng’s identity either.
Moments later, Ruiyi lowered his finger, withdrew the golden light from his forehead, and shook his head, "What the eye sees, underground is all ghost qi, but there are no obvious traces of flowing circulation. However..."
"However what?"
"However, the yin qi underground is indeed stronger than the yin qi on the surface, but that’s quite normal," Ruiyi explained.
This makes it awkward; not mentioning Shen Ying and Ruiyi, Lu Zheng and Zen Master Chi Huan are seasoned figures with millennia of Dao practice, yet they still haven’t discovered the source of the ghost qi.
"Such audacity!"
Chi Huan’s eyes narrowed as his staff struck the ground heavily, and a circle of Buddha Power expanded from him towards the Four Directions.
Wherever the Buddha Power reached, the sinister ghost qi instantly receded, cleared away.
Since the opponent is hidden so deep that nothing can be detected, let them reveal themselves!
As the Buddha Power surged, it soon enveloped the entire town, then began to dissipate the ghost qi. Bathed under the moonlight, the entire town was suddenly shrouded in a peaceful aura, faint sounds of Buddhist chants whispered in the air, relaxing the tortured brows of the townspeople in their dreams.
"Buzz!"
Evidently, Zen Master Chi Huan’s method was effective. The next moment, visible to the naked eye, strands of sinister ghost qi emerged from the ground, starting to contend with the pervasive Buddha Power in the town. Most crucially, it continued to erode those townspeople whose bodies had been improved by the Buddha Power.
"It’s not due to terrain and natural causes!" Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, "There are still ghosts causing trouble!"
Ruiyi touched his forehead with his finger, "Golden Radiance Celestial Eye Method" was cast again, looking around.
Chi Huan said in a deep voice, "This ghost qi hasn’t been refined; it should be the power of a magical treasure."
Lu Zheng nodded, "Makes sense. If the ghost were truly powerful, it should have attacked us by now, rather than staying hidden, relying on the power of a magical treasure, afraid to show itself."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, did you find anything?"
Zen Master Chi Huan looked at Lu Zheng, knowing that his cultivation was even superior.
Lu Zheng has cultivated many techniques, focusing on spiritual cultivation, including ’Nine Heavens Golden Palace True God Transformation Technique’ and ’Lecture on the Heart Sutra of the Buddha on the Dharma Flower Platform,’ two top-tier techniques. His Divine Soul cultivation is definitely not inferior to Chi Huan’s Dao practice.
But at this moment, sweeping his Divine Thought all around, he still couldn’t sense the source of the ghost qi, as if those ghost qi emerging from the ground came out of stone cracks.
Eh? Stone cracks? Earth vein?
If ghost qi uses the power of the earth veins, utilizing it as a cover, it can indeed silently cover a large area and then suddenly surge out, seemingly appearing out of thin air.
And sensing the power of the earth veins, extracting yin qi from it is not an easy task, because the power of the earth veins is omnipresent.
Unless it’s someone like Song Kaichuan who’s incredibly familiar with the power of earth veins or someone who has practiced a technique like ’Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting.’
’Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting’? What a coincidence!
Lu Zheng: (◔◡◔)
Lu Zheng couldn’t help but smile, then his True Qi paused, and a heavy, mountain-like aura emerged from him as ’Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting’ began to operate.
"Lu Lang?"
Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng, while Zen Master Chi Huan’s disciples and Ruiyi’s gaze were also drawn.
"Miss Liu, Young Master Lu is..."
Liu Qingyan’s eyes shifted, "Lu Lang is concurrently practicing a technique that makes him more sensitive to the earth veins. The ghost qi here is strangely hidden, pervading the land, seemingly appearing out of nowhere; perhaps Lu Lang discovered something?"
The next moment, Lu Zheng raised his face, couldn’t help but chuckle, "Found you!"
At that same time, Lu Zheng seemed to fall into water, merging into the ground, suddenly vanishing.
"Earth Travel Technique!"
Zen Master Chi Huan was shocked, "Young Master Lu knows Earth Travel Technique?"
Liu Qingyan covered her mouth with a smile, "Lu Lang was fortunate to meet a senior and learned it by chance."
Ruiyi muttered, "Isn’t he a disciple of White Cloud Temple?"
Liu Qingquan pouted, "Who said disciples of White Cloud Temple can’t learn other skills?"
Ruiyi was speechless, yes, disciples of White Cloud Temple can learn other skills, but you shouldn’t be so proficient, right?
Moreover, this is the Earth Travel Technique, Ruiyi looked envious; it’s the best method for stealth attacks, escapes, disguises, and infiltration, better than blinding techniques and invisibility spells.
Despite Ruiyi’s envy towards Lu Zheng, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were somewhat worried seeing Lu Zheng leave alone. After all, the ghost can evade everyone’s senses, and even relying on magical treasure power, its cultivation might not be weak.
...
On the other side, Lu Zheng dove into the underground, quickly reaching a hundred feet below, finding a large blue stone buried in the soil.
Beside the stone, there was a bead flashing with a dark green light.
"Break!"
’Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting’ was cast, a force like a mountain pressed against the stone.
"Crack!"
"Hum! You can sense the earth veins and master the Earth Travel Technique?"
A hoarse growl echoed, and Lu Zheng saw the stone grow a head and limbs, transforming into a fierce-looking evil ghost.
The next moment, the evil ghost opened its mouth and swallowed the dark green bead, then turned back and glared fiercely at Lu Zheng. Seeing Lu Zheng’s thick aura, a flicker of fear appeared in its eyes. Then, turning its figure, it directly followed the earth veins to travel, leaving via Earth Travel.
Another one who knows Earth Travel Technique!
"Trying to escape, is it that easy?"
Lu Zheng’s figure leaped to follow, his cultivation superior to the opponent, Earth Travel Technique highly practiced, thus blocking the evil ghost within a few breaths.
