Taiping Inn

The reason why the Taoist sect was able to have such abundant manpower to defeat the minority with the majority was due to Wu Xian, because Qi Foyan, the mountain master of Jinling Academy, and Nangong Dacheng of Yueyang Academy had to join forces to deal with Wu Xian.

This was also helpless. When Wu Xian was at his peak, he had the terrifying cultivation of a one-tribulation earthly immortal, which was similar to Wu Yang. When Wu Xian just got out of trouble, even if he had lost most of his cultivation, he could still fight against Tan Taiyun head-on and exile Tan Taiyun. Even though Wu Xian now had no cultivation of the realm of immortality because he was completely separated from his body, he was not comparable to ordinary heavenly and human creation realms. Except for Elder Long, no one in the Confucian sect was Wu Xian's opponent, and they could only defeat the minority with the majority.

This was also the reason why Li Xuandu treated Wu Xian so "magnanimously". It was not that Li Xuandu wanted to be generous, but that the situation was so that he had to be generous. I think Wu Xian also understood this, so he was so confident.

The battlefield of the three people was neither in the Imperial Capital nor outside the Imperial Capital, but in an extremely mysterious place, without sunlight or earth, only pure black and white, and filled with yin energy everywhere, which was totally unlike the human world.

In fact, this is indeed not the human world, nor is it the small world that Wu Xian temporarily opened up, but the gap between the Yin and Yang worlds.

"Yin Yang Gate" is not a rare magic spell, and there are many people who can use this method. Its principle is to travel through the gap between the Yin and Yang worlds to bypass the distance barrier of the Yang world, so that one step can cover hundreds of miles. Wu Xian used the "Spirit Art" of witch religion to force the two people into the gap between Yin and Yang.

Because of this, the yin energy here is extremely strong. For ordinary living people here, it is like a bean lamp placed in a strong wind, which will be blown out in a blink of an eye. Only the cultivation above the realm of heaven and man can resist the rolling yin energy. However, in this way, the great master of the realm of heaven and man will also lose the mysteries of the unity of heaven and man, and can only rely on his own energy, like water without a source and a tree without roots.

Wu Xian was in this world, turning into a black shadow, wandering around, and seemed to be in no hurry to fight with the two mountain masters.

Instead, the two mountain masters felt a little fear in their hearts, as if they were walking alone in the deep mountains and old forests at night, with shadows all around, as if there were some ghosts hiding in them, staring at the people walking at night. The people walking at night noticed it, but they didn't know where the ghosts were, and they just felt a chill on their backs.

There is a saying that "suspicion breeds ghosts". The flaws of martial artists fighting are in their moves, while the flaws of alchemists fighting are in their state of mind. Whether it is obsession, or emotions such as fear and hatred, they are all flaws in the state of mind. If you can't keep your mind calm, you will be taken advantage of and the flaws in your state of mind will be continuously magnified. This process is like a dam bursting. Under the impact of the flood, the gap will only get bigger and bigger, and eventually the state of mind will completely collapse, or go crazy, or be as dumb as a puppet.

For a moment, Qi Foyan and Nangong Dacheng felt confused and depressed. Many knots that had been relieved and many dark thoughts that could not be told to others came to their minds. There were even many negative emotions that had never existed before, which quickly grew and grew, like hungry beasts, constantly biting the minds of the two.

"This is the 'Spirit Art' of the witch religion. It is best at creating inner demons and disturbing people's minds. If the inner demons continue to grow, they will attack the soul and even occupy the magpie's nest."

Qi Foyan was a top figure in the Confucian school after all. He was well-informed and immediately recognized Wu Xian's method.

However, there was one thing that Qi Foyan did not understand. Even if Wu Xian was the leader of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, he should not be proficient in the "Spirit Art". This is the magical power of other great witches.

However, at this critical juncture, Qi Foyan had no time to think deeply, and hurriedly circulated the "Haoran Qi" that was almost invincible and omnipotent to dispel all kinds of negative emotions. The so-called righteousness of heaven and earth is the best to restrain such evil means. This is the origin of the scholar's fearlessness of ghosts.

Nangong Dacheng did the same, circulated the "Haoran Qi" to resist the inner demon.

"Spirit Art" does not belong to Wu Xian, but to Wu Luo among the Ten Witches of Lingshan. Wu Luo is not among the Six Enlightened Witches, but one of the four great witches who sealed Wu Xian.

Li Xuandu contributed greatly to Wu Xian's mastery of "Spirit Art", because Ziyanshan died in Li Xuandu's hands, and the four bone staffs he got in the Nether Valley also fell into Li Xuandu's hands.

In order to seal Wu Xian, who was at the peak of his power but went crazy because of the "Eternal Life Stone", the four great witches such as Wu Gu specially refined these four bone staffs, which are naturally not ordinary things. According to the Taoist classification, it can be regarded as four semi-immortal objects, and together they can be regarded as one immortal object. However, this immortal object has great limitations, because each bone staff contains a secret art of the witch cult, corresponding to the four great witches. Only by fully mastering these four secret arts can the power of the immortal object be exerted. Even the four great witches must work together to control it.

In fact, even if we look at the peak period of the witch cult, only Wu Xian and Wu Yang have the hope of mastering this immortal object. It is not that the two of them are proficient in the corresponding four secret arts, but with their realm and cultivation, as long as they want to learn, they may not be as good as the great witches who specialize in this secret art, and it is not difficult to control the four bone staffs.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty. After Ziyanshan people obtained the four bone staffs, they only barely cultivated the "body art" and could not exert the power of the immortal object at all. Only Wu Xian can hope to exert the full power of the four bone staffs.

However, considering Wu Xian's obsession with the "Eternal Life Stone", Li Xuandu did not dare to give all four bone staffs to Wu Xian. After all, the four bone staffs were equivalent to an immortal object. Wu Xian mastering an immortal object and Qin Su mastering an immortal object were two completely different concepts. At that time, it was probably difficult for the immortals to control Wu Xian, so Li Xuandu only gave one bone staff to Wu Xian.

The four great witches Wu Ji, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, and Wu Luo corresponded to the "illusion technique", "body technique", "soul technique", and "spiritual technique" respectively. Among them, "illusion technique" and "body technique" are, as the name suggests, illusion techniques and methods of cultivating the body, "soul technique" is a method of arresting the soul, and Wu Xian is proficient in this method, and "spiritual technique" is a spiritual technique.

The bone staff that Wu Xian mastered corresponds to the "spiritual technique", also called "spiritual technique", which originally meant to communicate with the dead, but after continuous development, it has produced various mysteries and can be divided into two parts. "Tong" means "tongyou", "you" means the netherworld, and "ling" means "mind", which corresponds to the state of mind of the soul. Wu Xian first used the "tongyou technique" to pull the two into the gap between yin and yang, and then used the "mind technique" to awaken the inner demons of the two.

In the past, Wu Luo used this method to create a kingdom of God in the world. Anyone who believes in Wu Luo can enter Wu Luo's kingdom of God through the bridge built by the "mind technique" in their dreams. As long as they can pass the various tests set by Wu Luo, they can obtain a kind of witchcraft called "zhuyou technique". The Taoist sect calls it "the method of confusing souls", and the Anxi Qin Kingdom calls it "hypnosis". It can make others obey their orders in a daze, but the minds of believers are also controlled by Wu Luo with "zhuyou technique". Although it seems that there is no change in memory and emotion, as long as Wu Luo has a thought, they will immediately become Wu Luo's puppets.

After many people got this method, although they could not match the masters above the middle three realms, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary people. The desires were insatiable, and they took the opportunity to steal money and kill people, or took the opportunity to rape people's wives and daughters.

As a result, these people became more and more devout to Wu Luo, and more and more people believed in Wu Luo.

At its peak, Wu Luo had nearly one million followers, dominated one side, and was the most powerful among the great witches. Unfortunately, Wu Luo met the Zu Tianshi who was a disciple of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, and was broken by the Zu Tianshi with the "Tianshi Male and Female Sword". The Tianshi Sect quickly wiped out the remaining forces of the Wu Sect, causing Wu Luo to enter the first level of death of the gods and on the verge of the second level of death.

However, Wu Luo did not completely die out. For thousands of years, from time to time, some people would inexplicably get the "Zhuyou Technique" and start to stir up trouble, but that is another story.

When Wu Xian held the bone staff and used it to activate the "Spirit Art", she heard the whispers of her sisters from the bone staff. That was Wu Luo's voice asking for help. However, as the "big sister" of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, Wu Xian did not want to save Wu Luo. Putting aside the grudges that Wu Luo had plotted against her, Wu Xian gradually figured out many things during her time as a Taoist nun. If the Witch Cult died, it would be dead, because the Witch Cult could not adapt to this world and would definitely die. The three religions took over the position of the Witch Cult, so she should take root in Taoism. After all, she already had a brand new identity and it was time to make a complete break with the past.

Especially after the failure of the fight for the "Eternal Life Stone", Wu Xian became more determined about this idea, so she did not resist participating in the decisive battle between Confucianism and Taoism this time. Instead, she planned to use this battle to wash away her mistakes and truly gain a foothold in Taoism.

Because of this, Wu Xian did not hold back at all at this time.

While Qi Foyan and Nangong Dacheng were concentrating on resisting their demons, she waved her sleeves again, and the shadow of a mountain fell from the sky. In addition to the mountain body being as black as ink, it seemed as if a real mountain fell from the sky, and there was no escape or avoidance.

This was the shadow of the mountain that Wu Xian drew when he passed by Zhongnan Mountain when he went to Xijing to compete for the "Eternal Life Stone". He wanted to use it to deal with Shangguan Wan, but he didn't expect that Li Xuandu would come in person. Wu Xian knew that he was not Li Xuandu's opponent, so he kept the shadow of the mountain.

This place was originally only black and white. After Wu Xian released the shadow of the mountain, Qi Foyan and Nangong Dacheng only felt that their eyes went dark. All they saw was black ink, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city.

However, with their realm and cultivation, even a real mountain could be shattered, so they raised their hands at the same time and actually held up the shadow of Zhongnan Mountain that fell from the sky.

Wu Xian showed up, turning into a huge black shadow that seemed to stand upright. Six arms appeared from behind, corresponding to her six magical powers at the moment. One of her arms held a bone staff, which was the "Spirit Art".

Wu Xian opened her hands, and ancient obscure syllables rang out of her mouth, full of rhythm, as if chanting.

As she chanted, countless black mists began to vibrate with this strange rhythm, rushing towards Wu Xian from all directions.

In a blink of an eye, the black mist around Wu Xian became thicker and thicker, gradually submerging her figure. Behind her, a dark mountain appeared, like a splash of ink on a landscape, without other colors, and could not be seen clearly. Only ten tall figures could be vaguely seen on the mountain, standing upright.
