Chapter 1104 - 1010: Reincarnation Palace
Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng were both extremely astonished, wondering: there are actually living beings residing on this Forbidden Ancient Path?
What on earth is the Reincarnation Palace… According to what Big Black Dog said, it seems to have a very formidable background!
“Black Emperor, Tenth Source Clan… What are these?”
They asked in confusion.
Big Black Dog explained:
“This path leads to the forbidden, and at the same time, it is the origin of the Grey Mist Origin Qi.”
“Along the ancient path, there are ten major Grey Mist Wellsprings. The deeper you go, the more terrifying the Grey Mist Wellsprings become, spawning even more bizarre entities, even directly touching upon the forbidden… Around the ten Grey Mist Wellsprings, the born creatures form their own clans, known as the Source Clans.”
“Here lies the location of the tenth Source Eye of Mist; hence, the creatures here call themselves the Tenth Source Clan.”
It had once traversed this ancient path in the past and was very familiar with the matters of this path.
Hearing this, both Jiang Yunsheng and Yang Daomei shuddered.
Indeed, there were such profound secrets on this ancient path.
The Ten Great Source Clans…
“Thus, the Ten Great Source Clans… should be even more terrifying than the strong clans of the Grey Mist Sea…”
Yang Daomei spoke.
“Are the Ten Great Source Clans the great enemies on this path?”
Jiang Yunsheng expressed his worries.
Big Black Dog, however, said:
“It’s not really a great enemy… Back in the day when my master passed through here, these Source Clans were very well-behaved. They didn’t even care about the Grey Mist Wellspring and fled with their houses in the middle of the night.”
“Later, when the End of Myriad Paths passed through, a fool from the Ninth Origin Clan tried to stop him and was slapped into oblivion…”
Hearing this, both Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng were left dumbfounded.
Such events had actually happened…
“Let’s go and see. If the King of Reincarnation truly appears in the Tenth Source Clan… it must be related to Samsara.”
Its eyes flickered as it led the two into the World of Grey Mist ahead.
…
At this moment.
The location of the Tenth Source Clan.
Chaos Fog mingled with the Origin of the Grey Mist, rendering the entire world dark and gloomy, presenting a grey and hazy state.
In this grey foggy world, however, ghostly shadows abounded, giving rise to a procession of a hundred ghosts!
With ghastly green eyes and floating spirits, they were like walking corpses…
This realm was filled with strangeness, like a Ghost Nation occupied by evil spirits.
In the vast center of the grey world, there lay a massive lake, the lake filled with a grey viscous liquid—a liquid formed by the liquefaction of Chaos Fog and Grey Mist Origin Qi, which could drive any living person insane upon consumption.
Inside this vast lake stood a majestic palace.
On it were four large characters:
“Reincarnation Palace!”
Countless walking corpses and floating spirits approached this lake, filling it up, and the spirits drifted into the Reincarnation Palace, never to be seen again.
Those who came later stepped on the bones of their predecessors as they bowed towards the Reincarnation Palace in the grey lake.
“What is this thing…”
Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng, hiding in the shadows with Big Black Dog’s fur concealing their presence, were looking towards the front, shocked at the astounding aura emanating from the lake.
Big Black Dog’s expression was grim as it whispered lowly:
“Bow-wow, it really is Samsara… Who is scheming on the Forbidden Ancient Path, turning the Tenth Source Clan into the hell under the dominion of the King of Reincarnation, activating the Cycle of Rebirth Authority?”
It sensed something sinister.
And then…
From the Reincarnation Palace, suddenly a Taoist emerged, walking over the waves. He held a horsetail whisk, appearing to be about fifty or sixty years old, but with an extremely sinister aura.
Wherever the Taoist passed, both the walking corpses and floating ghostly beings subconsciously bowed to him.
In an instant, the Taoist was out of the lake.
“Follow him!”
In the shadows, Big Black Dog immediately spoke, its eyes solemn:
“He carries something extraordinary!”
Secretly, they trailed the Taoist closely.
“Black Emperor, what should we do, capture him?”
Jiang Yunsheng inquired.
Big Black Dog narrowed its eyes and said:
“He’s got seven ghosts perched on his shoulder, and there must be more within the Path-Scenic Land… not easy to deal with.”
“However, we must clarify the situation here…”
After all, the King of Reincarnation was one of the Ten Kings of Hell within Samsara, involving a major concern.
“Bow-wow… I might have to take drastic measures!”
Upon saying so, it gritted its teeth and began to bite off large chunks of its own fur!
Seeing this, both Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng were shocked. What kind of maneuver was this?
“Bow-wow, what are you looking at, help me pull it out quickly, if we’re late that guy might get away!”
Big Black Dog grimaced in pain as it urged them.
Immediately, Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng also hurried to help Big Black Dog pull out its fur.
“Pull it all out, don’t leave a single strand… otherwise it won’t be suppressed, bow-wow, be gentle, bark bark bark!”
Big Black Dog barked.
Finally, all of Big Black Dog’s fur was pulled out.
Its true form was now revealed.
Big Black Dog, facing the direction of the Taoist, exhaled a breath.
Instantly, the black fur transformed into a whirlwind, silently approaching the Taoist!
At this moment, the Taoist had already stepped out of the Ghost Nation world of the Tenth Source Clan and onto the Forbidden Ancient Path.
“Hehe, Nine Laws Sacrifice, ascending to the world?”
The Taoist looked towards the direction of the Grey Mist Sea and whispered lowly:
“The Grey Mist Sea is the chosen place, destined to accept the forbidden and become the world where the Cycle of Rebirth Authority reemerges, no one can stop it…”
He prepared to head towards the Grey Mist Sea.
But, just then.
He suddenly felt darkness before his eyes.
In an instant, the Taoist’s mind went blank, his pupils became lifeless, as if he were frozen in time.
And within the black tornado, a pair of copper bell-like dog eyes lit up.
“What relation does the Tenth Source Clan have with the Reincarnation Palace?”
A deep and resounding voice emerged.
The Taoist responded as if he were a walking corpse:
“Forbidden Master of the Source Clan, holding the Reincarnation Seal, will attain the status of King of Transmigration with a living body, and establish the ‘Living Reincarnation’…”
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flickered in those copper bell-like dog eyes, but it continued to inquire:
“Where are you headed?”
The Taoist replied woodenly:
“From a few Ghostly Beings in the Grey Mist Sea, we received news, the Nine Laws at the End of Myriad Paths are about to perform a Sacrifice… They must not succeed, thus I’m ordered to take relics from the End of Myriad Paths to go for Repression…”
“Furthermore, the Forbidden Master cannot hold onto the Cycle of Rebirth Authority, hence I need to go to the Ancestral Mist Realm, to seek traces of an unspeakable existence…”
“It is said that this unspeakable existence is the true creator of Reincarnation… If his traces from the past can be found, perhaps it would help the Forbidden Master to fully control the Reincarnation Seal…”
At this moment, the black-haired tornado seemed barely able to sustain itself, and on the Taoist’s shoulders, faintly, seven pairs of ghost eyes seemed about to open.
“Who is behind you?”
Big Black Dog urgently asked.
However, the black-haired tornado finally dissipated completely.
The Taoist immediately regained clarity, standing still, scratching his head.
“What just happened? Why do I feel somewhat absent-minded?”
He was somewhat puzzled.
However, he soon shook his head, saying:
“It should be fine, if anything was really amiss, these few on my back would have warned me already…”
Having said this, he headed straight forward on the Forbidden Ancient Path.
…
On the other hand, Big Black Dog was lost in thought.
“Forbidden Master of the Source Clan, holding the Reincarnation Seal with a living body, refining Living Reincarnation…”
“Woof, this is quite ambitious…”
Yang Daomei then said:
“Black Emperor, what should we do?”
Big Black Dog thought for a moment, then suddenly looked ahead in the direction of the Tenth Source Clan, saying:
“One cannot catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den; this emperor must go and investigate to see who is scheming against Reincarnation… whether it’s a Ghostly Being who escaped from Reincarnation, or perhaps… that hand from the past…”
Its dog eyes were very determined!
“But Black Emperor… won’t you be discovered if you just go like this?”
Yang Daomei spoke.
“Of course, I can’t just go like this.”
Big Black Dog used his Mana, transforming in an instant into a dog-headed Taoist, wearing a black Taoist robe with a dog’s head and human body, looking quite bizarre.
“Come, follow me.”
It started walking.
“Black Emperor, what about this Taoist? He is going to Ancestral Mist Realm to obstruct the Sacrifice, aren’t we going to stop him?”
Big Black Dog responded,
“Rest assured, my true form is over there; if it cannot handle such a trifle, then it might as well be dead.”
Yang Daomei, Jiang Yunsheng: “…”
Big Black Dog led the way into the territory of the Tenth Source Clan, arriving directly at the edge of the Great Lake, releasing a strong aura without any concealment!
“Who dares to run wild here…”
Suddenly, in the sticky grey-dark waters of the lake, grey skeletal claws extended out, and ghostly green eyes lit up within the grey mist!
The entire Grey Water Lake was disturbed, with countless ghost shadows and endless ghostly claws, which looked hair-raising!
“It’s over… Black Emperor, you’ve alerted the entire Ghost Nation…”
Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng both turned pale; this dog… was too rash!
Is it provoking the entire Tenth Source Clan?
But Big Black Dog was fearless, saying:
“What’s there to fear? Just watch, even if there are endless Ghostly Beings, they can only welcome me!”
Having said this, it puffed out its chest and held its head high, speaking indifferently:
“How many rounds has life and death cycled, through dust-covered calamities ever idle not.”
“A pond of universe, a sea of right and wrong, humanity through ages, bones like mountains.”
“No hell in hand to find, today following the devil to refine the grand return.”
As the words ended.
However, the endless ghost shadows surrounding them did not stop, but pressed closer towards them three.
“Does this… really work?”
“What curse is Black Emperor chanting, it seems to have no effect…”
Both were doubting.
Even Big Black Dog was somewhat nervous by now, it can’t be… could it actually be ineffective?
Impossible!
However, at that moment.
Boom!
From within the Reincarnation Palace at the center of the Great Lake, suddenly a yellow light burst forth, forming a wide path extending directly before Big Black Dog and Yang Daomei.
As this yellow path appeared, the endless Ghostly Beings that were approaching them all knelt down in unison, respectful and daring not to offend!
And from within the Reincarnation Palace, a voice already rang out:
“May I know which esteemed visitor has arrived, could you please come in for a talk? I… would like to ask for your advice!”
The tone of this voice was resounding, yet somewhat excited, apparently highly valuing the few lines of poetry spoken by Big Black Dog!
Seeing this, Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng were both shocked.
What’s this situation, did Black Emperor’s spell work?
And Big Black Dog, at this moment truly heaved a sigh of relief, whispering smugly:
“I told you, these verses, were eavesdropped by this emperor when the master taught the Lord of Reincarnation to establish Reincarnation… Although remembered incompletely and somewhat jumbled, but to fool a small Forbidden Master, isn’t it easy?”
Saying this, it boasted proudly,
“Come, follow this esteemed person, today let’s have a good discussion on the Dao with the fellows here!”
…
Goodnight.
