Ch. 141 - Above the Clouds, Holding the Ghost Talisman

At the same time, there was a commotion among the disciples. A young man with deer horns in a jasper brocade cloak led several disciples with superb cultivation and walked slowly from the depths of the Forgotten Star Garden. All Feng’s disciples lowered their heads slightly to show their respect.

Meanwhile, the disciples suddenly began to chatter among themselves. A young man with deer horns on his head and dressed in a jade green robe slowly approached with several other disciples who were all extremely skilled. As he passed, the disciples of the Starry Sky Peak bowed slightly to show their respect.

“Greetings to Senior Brother Lu.”

“Brother Lu.”

Lu Ming noticed that the Taiyu profound energy of the initial stage of returning to trueness was surging around him, with a calm expression, he cupped his hands towards the Baiyulou from afar, and said, “Fellow Daoist.”

Lu Ming’s body was surrounded by the Xuan Qi of the True Dao Realm, and his expression was calm. He respectfully bowed towards the Bai Yulou and said, “Friend.”

Bai Yulou’s eyes dimmed, apparently already having decided to leave. He waved his hand slightly and said, “Since Junior Brother Ji Yuenian has passed away, I will not stay here any longer.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant light surged up around his body, completely enveloping her figure.

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward and saying, “Fellow Daoist, please wait.”

Bai Yulou glanced at him and stopped. His gaze was filled with a hint of confusion as he asked, “What else?”

Under the flicker of light and shadow, a blazing jet-black streamer flowed out of Lu Ming’s palm and hovered in mid-air, emanating an inexplicable aura.

“This item flew out of the depths of the Sunset Mountains over thirty years ago, and its aura is profound and mysterious. It landed outside the Su Xing Academy, and I deduced that it belonged to Senior Brother Ji,” Lu Ming lightly stroked his palm, and the black streamer floated towards the White Jade Tower. “Since you are a friend of Senior Brother Ji, I will give you this item, and it can be considered returning it to its original owner.”

Bai Yulou took the black streamer, and instantly sensed an extremely powerful spiritual power within it. It was a solidified form of a spiritual power, and he was surprised to find dormant spiritual wisdom inside it.

According to his speculation, this spiritual wisdom should be born after Ji Yuenian instilled something unknown, and was refined by his divine skill, which was similar to an incarnation outside the body.

Since Ji Yuenian had perished, the spiritual wizdom within it would naturally fall into silence, and there would never be a chance for it to wake up again.

This object was exactly the pawn that Ji Yuenian left at Dao Yan Temple, “Spiritual Ghost Clothes”.

This “Spiritual Ghost Clothes” was nourished by Yuan Jian’s origin power, a demon with a high cultivation, and its power became more miraculous. However, with Ji Yuenian being fallen in the Cui Ri Territory, a sudden change occurred. The subtle connection between Psychic karma Fire was also broken, and “Spiritual Ghost Clothes” fell into silence ever since.

According to speculation, when the divine skill was activated, it directly left the Daoyan Temple deep in the Luoxia Mountains, travelled far away towards Xingyuan Peak in the Luoxia Mountains, and finally stayed outside the Star Tracing Academy of Wangxing court. Then, it was captured by Lu Mingxi.

Nodding slightly towards Lu Mingxi, Bai Yulou put away the jet-black streamer and said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

Lu Mingxi cupped his hands towards the Bai Yulou again. He seemed to be recalling what happened decades ago.

Lu Mingxi was a member of the Lu family of Xuanyuan Peak, and even a descendant of Lu Chongguang, the master of Xuanyuan Peak. He was attached to Ji Yuenian before, and he was willing to be his small assistant, because of Ji Yuenian’s status as holy son candidate, and the bloodline descendant of Tong Xuan Heart Ghost who ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence.

Following Ji Yuenian’s fall in the ancient city of Cui Ri, Lu Mingxi naturally had to re-plan his own path. This was human nature, and not the least bit surprising.

Layers upon layers of clouds were dyed golden-red by the rising sun. Bai Yulou was dressed in a white Daoist robe as he flew across the bright red clouds.

“There is a spirit in the lake, if you arrest it, follow it.”

The destiny star above the sky was still blazing, pouring down the magnificent and vast star power every moment. Bai Yulou recalled what the master once said, and fell into a trance for a while.

Flipping his palms, a piece of warm jade came out, and the seal engraved with densely packed small characters also emerged again.

“All things have spirits, and those who have the opportunity can transform into forms. I am a humble Demonic Tree in Yuanjingxuan Mountain, but I was lucky enough to be pitied by the gods and gave birth to a son, who was named Baiyu Lou by the gods.”

“However, there have been shocking changes since then. Once the Xuanshan Mountain in Yuanjing collapsed and the immortal fled. I didn’t want to leave, and finally died in the place of my transformation.”

“Today, a little inheritance of Yuanjing Xuanshan is condensed in the jade. I hope my son will succeed in cultivation, survive the three major tribulations, and obtain Taiyi, so that he will not suffer from tragedies in his life.”

“Mandala Flower Demon, childish words.” The soft female voice lingered in his ears, and the sound of howling and collapsing faintly remained around the scene revealed by the jade disc, which should be the terrifying scene when Xuanshan Mountain in Yuanjing collapsed.

Bai Yulou stopped at some point, waved away the phantom of the jade disc, and quietly stared at the sea of clouds that was soaked in golden red, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

“There is a spirit in the lake.”

“Arrest it.”

“Follow it.”

Although Bai Yulou did not know its true meaning, after breaking into the True Dao Realm, he had a little more understanding of this speech.

Relying on the terrible intuition deep in his mind, he could even vaguely conclude that the “spirit on the lake” in this address had a great connection with Ji Yuenian.

But once Ji Yuenian died within the territory of Cui Ri, Baiyu Lou fell into confusion for a while.

If the “Spirit of Zeshang” refered to Ji Yuenian, then how could he disappear so easily?

Bai Yulou stretched out his left arm, and on his forearm were countless translucent ghost figures roaring and screaming, as if they wanted to break free, but they couldn’t.

It was the ghost-handling talisman bestowed by the “Shangxian” of Yuan Jingxuan Mountain in the record of the jade disc left by his mother, the Manduo flower demon.

Taking out the jet-black streamer, Bai Yulou gritted his teeth lightly, and under the trembling of the true spirit, he barely urged a trace of the real power of the ghost-handling talisman, and submerged it into the “spiritual ghost clothes”.

After a few breaths, the phantom of a black-clothed boy appeared under the black light. His expression was extremely numb, and it was obvious that he lacked a lot of spiritual intelligence.

The appearance of this black-clothed boy bore a certain resemblance to Ji Yuenian, and it was the body of the “Spiriting Ghost Clothes” enshrined by the demon Yuanjian at the Daoyan Temple.

Bai Yulou looked at the “Spirit-Storing Ghost Clothes” carefully, and couldn’t help showing some doubts in his eyes.

Relying on the incomparable mighty power of the ghost palm talisman, Bai Yulou forcibly awakened the spiritual wisdom that was silent in the depths of the “spiritual ghost clothes”, but this spiritual wisdom was incomplete. If Ji Yuenian hadn’t poured a trace of psychic karma Fire, I’m afraid that this “spiritual ghost clothes” couldn’t even maintain its human form at this time.

“The incarnation outside the body is an extremely profound divine skill. According to the disciples of Wang Xing Court, when Brother Ji Yuenian died, he was only at True Dao Realm. How could such a similar incarnation be condensed?”

While muttering to himself, Bai Yulou crushed the black-clothed boy into light and shadow again, took it into the black light band, and put it away casually.

This spiritual intelligence was muddled, and no useful information could be obtained from him at all.

“No matter whether this thing is an incarnation outside the body or something else, it is extremely incredible that it can continue to maintain a human form after Brother Ji Yuenian died.”

“Or ... there is another possibility.”

Bai Yulou raised his head slightly, looked up at the golden red sun on the top of the blue dome, and said softly, “Brother Ji Yuenian, he hasn’t really disappeared yet.” According to the records in ancient books, the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost had many divine and unique ways after all.

Bai Yulou shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about it. The flames around him rose again, and he pierced through the magnificent sea of clouds, hurrying towards the Shouyan Mountain Range.
