I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 852: The Trail of the Divine Bull, Second-Class Aspiration (6k -in-)

Retracting his gaze, Yu Chen let out a long breath. Then the next thing to do is... wait.

His thoughts probed into the underworld. In the endless chaos at the border of the underworld, the rhythm of the cocoon, like a blood-red heart, was getting faster and stronger.

It was as if something horrible was about to break out of its cocoon.

——It won’t be long.

Yu Chen withdrew his thoughts and looked at the great refining formation that was as majestic as the sky.

There was an uncontrollable look of disgust in his eyes.

To him who was standing in the Three Realms camp, this great refining formation was like a huge slaughterhouse, stained with the suffering, blood and tears of his compatriots.

——It was this thing that refined countless desperate souls into endless incense for the ancient immortals to devour.

So, he picked up the Seven Star Sword on the ground - Yu Chen had the secret of controlling the Seven Star Sword from Taishang Laojun's revolving lantern, and because the original owner, Lord Miesheng, was dead, he could control the two swords easily.

Grip the hilt of the sword tightly and inject your life energy into it.

In an instant, fourteen stars suddenly burst out with infinite starlight, as dazzling as the sun!
Yu Chen jumped up and came to the voice of the sky. He raised his two swords high and slashed down fiercely!

At that moment, endless star-like sword lights burst out instantly, interweaving into a huge cross, sweeping across the sky and the earth!
The infinitely majestic life-refining formation was submerged in the boundless starlight and instantly fell apart and shattered in the endless destruction!

Rumble!
Amid the terrifying roar, countless steel debris, burning with blazing flames, fell from the sky! And the incense collected in the many steel fortresses was also turned into ashes in this blow.

The great refining formation is destroyed!
In the blazing and infinite starlight, even the hardest steel turned into ashes in an instant!

Just as Yu Chen was about to return to Jiujingzhou, to where Wen Qitian was.

His eyes glanced towards the center of the refining formation and he could no longer look away.

——In the midst of the endless blazing starlight, when even steel was vaporized in an instant, there was actually a hideous and evil shadow that stood like a rock in a torrent, motionless as a mountain.

Yu Chen frowned and walked in that direction.

After a moment, the light of the stars gradually faded, and the hideous and terrifying shadow was finally completely reflected in Yu Chen's eyes.

All I saw was a huge... skeleton!
The dense white bones looked like crystal clear jade, one section connected to another, like a spider web, forming the "skeleton" of the entire refining formation.

And those steel and array patterns were its flesh and blood. Now that the flesh and blood have melted away, the skeleton hidden within has been revealed.

The white bones that looked like divine jade supported the entire refining formation like a spider web while spreading inside it.

At the very center, all the bone webs converge onto a "spine" that is also pure white like snow and shining with divine light.

The spine was also infinitely large, extending upwards in sections.

And extending to the top, it is connected to an infinitely terrifying and huge skull.

It looked like a cow's skull, with a pair of giant horns that looked like eyes piercing the sky, and two eye sockets that were like the abyss, with azure blue ghost fires burning and boiling in them, transmitting countless azure halos like blood through the entire spine and countless spider-web-like bones.

Even though it was not a living creature, the terrifying aura still emanated from this terrifying bull skull, like an abyss or a prison, endless!
Yu Chen took a breath when he saw this.

I recognized it at a glance.

The owner of this white jade divine bull skull...isn't he the divine bull that was ridden by one of the three rebels in Laozi's revolving lantern?

There was no change in his appearance, aura, or the remaining ferocity.

"What happened? The sacred cow was buried here?" Yu Chen narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Could it be... an internal conflict?"

He could see that the purpose of the bones of the divine bull being here was nothing more than to provide energy for the entire refining formation.

But...isn’t this divine bull a companion of the two ancestors, Gold and Silver?
They also betrayed Laojun together.

In other words, if there was no sacred bull, and only the two fire-making boys, it would have been difficult to betray successfully at all.

So...what happened after they escaped from the Eastern Wilderness?
Yu Chen looked at the horrific skeleton revealed after the formation was broken, and was confused.

But at this moment, as he approached, azure ghost fire jumped from the abyss-like eye sockets of the bull head!

Boiling and surging!

As the will-o'-the-wisp fire swayed, as if it was sensed by something, the Sutra of Salvation automatically flew out from Yu Chen's divine vine and hovered between heaven and earth.

Then, as the golden light of the Sutra of Saving People shone brightly, the residual soul of a divine bull slowly emerged from the huge and terrifying bull head.

——Its figure was so vague that it seemed transparent. It was too weak and too thin. Even before it was awakened by the Sutra of Deliverance, Yu Chen could not even feel its existence.

Yu Chen watched all this coldly.

Don't panic.

——If the divine bull suddenly appeared at this moment, he might still panic. After all, Taotie has not woken up yet, and Yu Chen has no confidence that he can defeat the divine bull that once served under Taishang Laojun.

But now it is just a remnant soul.

That's okay.

As long as it is a soul, let alone Laojun's mount, even if the Emperor of the Divine Court comes, it has to lie down.

Yu Chen's status determines that he is the lord of all ghosts and the nemesis of all gods and spirits in the world.

So he wanted to see what the remaining soul of the divine bull was like.

And when the remaining soul of the divine bull revived at the call of the Sutra of Salvation, a deep blue light emerged in its eyes, and the bull's eyes were filled with endless... pain and regret.

"Wrong... all wrong... I was wrong... Jin Tong was wrong... Yin Tong was wrong... everything was wrong..."

Tears actually flowed from his pair of ox eyes, and his grief and guilt were so overwhelming that they could reach the heavens and the earth.

Yu Chen was completely confused.

Immediately, as he flipped through the Sutra of Saving People, a series of scenes flashed before his eyes.

The life of Taishang Laojun as he rode the divine bull also turned into countless images and flooded into his mind.

Speaking of the divine cow, it was originally just an ordinary old green cow in the human world. Because Taishang Laojun came down to the human world to look for divine materials, the two met, and Laojun said that they were destined to be together. So the old green cow followed Laojun, was born with intelligence, and ascended to the divine world.

For the countless thousands of years that followed, its life remained smooth.

On weekdays, he carried Taishang Laojun on his back, running around everywhere, and after returning to Tushita Palace, he would quietly stay in the orchard, sometimes lying there for tens of thousands of years.

The only time he went to the mortal world was at the order of Laozi, where he occupied a mountain and became the king, transforming himself into a demon to stop a monkey.

But even so, he was just acting and had never committed any killing.

Later, the Battle of Falling Sky broke out, the three realms fell, and the ancient immortals became ferocious.

He traveled around with Laojun and Zhenyuanzi.

Finally, the war between heaven and man broke out, humanity counterattacked, and the ancient immortal was defeated. It then settled with Taishang Laojun in the center of the East Wilderness, the source of the earth's fire.

After the war between heaven and man ended, even though the heaven had collapsed, it did not affect Laojun's daily life. He was still running around, collecting the world's divine iron and spiritual ores, refining elixirs, refining weapons, and studying formations and talismans.

Shenniu’s daily life is as simple as ever.

It likes to be with Laojun, likes to listen to the sound of Laojun burning fire in the Bagua stove, likes to watch the two children, Jin and Yin, quarreling over some trivial matters and finally being beaten by Laojun with a slap each until they burst into tears, and it also likes Laojun to sit on its back and walk slowly...

It sincerely hopes that such a simple life will last forever.

But, heaven does not always fulfill man's wishes, nor does it fulfill the cow's wishes.

One day, Laojun was burning fire in the Bagua furnace, as if he was refining something. The divine bull didn't know what it was exactly, and it didn't care. It just listened to the rumbling sound and felt at ease.

But at some point, it heard a "sound".

Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe it as a sound, but there is such a sound that keeps coming back to Shenniu's mind for no reason.

It sounds like a hum, like a narration, like an order, like a roar!
—Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him…

Like an endless swarm of ants, the divine stalk of the divine bull was instantly occupied by that sound.

It's crazy.

He lost the ability to think and the ability to control himself. As if possessed by a ghost, he stood up, spewing out an endless stream of flames from his nostrils, and walked towards Laojun.

The rest is easy.

Taishang Laojun, who was already exhausted from the long forging, was caught off guard by his two disciples and a mount, who robbed him of many treasures in a surprise attack.

When the body dies, the Tao disappears.

Later, that voice rang in the ears of the sacred cow again.

They overturned the Bagua Furnace, took away the Sky-Repairing Stone, burned the entire Bajing Palace, and wandered aimlessly in the sky and on the ground.

Until that voice sounded again, telling them to escape from the Three Realms, flee to outside the domain, and prevent the Sky-Buying Stone from ever returning to the Three Realms.

The sacred bull and the two children, the gold and the silver, did as they were told.

They came to the outside world and occupied a broken piece of the human world.

Later, the ancient immortals learned about this and came to them, saying that they had no place to stand in the Three Realms and that they might as well join the ancient immortals.

Originally speaking, even if the two boys, Gold and Silver, and the divine bull had betrayed Taishang Laojun for unknown reasons, it was impossible for them to become involved with the ancient immortals.

But at that time, that voice sounded again.

Once again, they seemed to have become puppets on strings and did just that.

Thus, the disciples and mounts of Taishang Laojun became Jiujingzhou, one of the thirty-six continents of the ancient immortals.

The days passed like this, year after year.

Neither the divine bull nor the two boys, gold and silver, felt the slightest remorse for killing their master.

Until a long, long time later, a certain year, a certain day, a certain moment.

Shenniu suddenly shuddered.

I was covered in cold sweat!
Wake up!

He recalled the sins he and the two boys, the gold and the silver, had committed, and his mind almost collapsed!

He found the two boys, Jin and Yin, and hysterically told them everything, including the sins they had committed. But the two did not care at all, and seemed not to have "woke up".

Not only did they refuse to listen, but they worked together to kill the divine bull, removed its flesh and blood, dismantled its bones, and refined them into the skeleton of the refining formation to provide energy for it.

The sacred bull left with hatred, but could not let go of the sins it had committed.

Leave the obsession behind.

But as time passed, his soul was gradually erased by the heaven and earth. When it was about to vanish into thin air, Yu Chen arrived, and by accident, the Sutra of Deliverance awakened the last remnant of his soul.

On the Sutra of Saving People, smoky gray words appeared.

【Second Grade Great Vision】

[Big Mistake]

【Time limit: None】

[There will be a reward at the end of the matter]

"call……"

After watching the kaleidoscope, Yu Chen let out a long breath and frowned tightly.

He had this question in mind after watching the revolving lantern of Taishang Laojun.

--why?
How could the two children, Gold and Silver, and their mount, the divine bull, who had followed Taishang Laojun for countless years, suddenly rebel without saying a word?
Yu Chen initially guessed that they might have planned this in advance.

But now I truly know that this is not the case.

The source of all evil comes from the "sound" heard by the sacred bull.

The voice in their minds changed their cognition and mind, causing them to kill their master and betray the three realms.

But what exactly is that sound?
Can the golden and silver boys and their mounts, the divine bull, instantly become like puppets with just the sound of their voice?

Ancient immortal?

Or is there something else?
For some reason, Yu Chen suddenly remembered something that seemed unrelated.

On Mount Luofeng, on the Fengdu Emperor's crown, the last words that the Fengdu Emperor said to him.

——Behind the ancient immortal, there is some inexplicable "existence".

Could it be... "Him"?
From the broken revolving lantern of Taishang Laojun, Yu Chen knew that what he was about to refine would be enough to completely change the situation of humanity and ancient immortals.

So, the "Him" behind the ancient immortal was afraid, and just now he made trouble and destroyed Laozi's refining?
Thoughts surged in Yu Chen's mind, but no matter what he said, it was just a guess.

There are too few clues to draw any conclusions.

He shook his head and temporarily put aside the countless tangled questions.

And as the last wish was entrusted, the remaining soul of the divine bull was taken away by the Sutra of Salvation and went to the banks of the Yellow Springs River.

At the same time, the white jade-like skeleton of the divine bull turned into powder and disappeared into ashes.

On the banks of the Yellow Springs River, the remaining soul of the divine bull arrived, and the remaining soul of Taishang Laojun was also there.

As for what the scene would be like when the former master and servant met, Yu Chen did not try to spy on it any further.

He withdrew his thoughts, fell from the sky, and landed on the earth.

In the Taoist temple, Wen Qitian still maintained the separation between heaven and earth, sitting cross-legged, calm and relaxed.

At the same time, the 100,000 ghost soldiers who flattened Jiujingzhou have also returned.

In just half an hour, the more than 18,000 pool owners were killed by them and returned to the Taoist temple and assembled.

Yu Chen brought them back to Luofeng Mountain, looked at the vast ruins of Jiujingzhou, and let out a long sigh.

The pool masters who controlled and played with the dreams of countless living beings died, and the Supreme Lord of Life and Death and those guards of Life and Death also died.

But it left behind a huge mess.

——The intelligence brought back by those ghost soldiers from those creatures who have been immersed in dreams since childhood is at least tens of millions.

Because their bodies have never been exposed to the outside world, many functions have degenerated. Even if they are rescued, what awaits them is only despair, pain and ultimately death.

That wasn't even salvation, that was... torture.

They believed in the real world all their lives, but were told that it was just a dream. Yu Chen felt such deep despair and pain that his scalp tingled just thinking about it.

When Wen Qitian heard about this, he frowned, sighed, and said, "What a sin."

He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that dreams are just dreams after all. Sooner or later, you have to wake up. By then, I'm afraid your sanity will collapse, right?"

Yu Chen was silent for a while, then he shook his head and said firmly: "Then... don't let the dream wake up."

He seemed to have made up his mind. He borrowed Wen Qitian's power to control the entire Jiujing and activated his magical power of marrying dreams.

In an instant, countless dreams appeared in his mind.

Before his eyes, there were endless and relentless spots of light like fireflies, floating up and down.

Every point of light is the dream of a living being.

Yu Chen raised his hand and tapped lightly.

A dream world flooded into his mind. In that dream, it was a world without extraordinary powers. The owner of the dream was a chivalrous knight who was happy in the rivers and lakes, helping the weak and punishing the wicked. He killed one person every ten steps and never stopped a single step in a thousand miles. He had fine wine, famous horses, a confidante, and was happy to take revenge.

He gently touched another light spot. In the dream, the owner of the dream was an emperor. He fought wars in the south and the north, appointed talented people, slew demons and monsters, worked hard to govern the country, and planted the imperial flag on every inch of land. In addition, there were hermits in the mortal world, giants in the world of immortal cultivation, and merchants who were rich enough to rival a country...

Every dream is extremely real. It is a life and a soul that has experienced love, hate, and emotions, and has been tempered to be dazzling.

Yu Chen sighed, and used all his strength to activate his dream-marrying magical power, covering all the dreams.

He didn't change anything in the dream.

Just... urging.

Stimulate dreams and time changes.

Until the masters in the dreams have completed their lives of dominating the world, playing around in the world, or taking pleasure in revenge, and have come to the end of their lives, and have peacefully left the stage.

Those countless lives should have woken up and faced this cruel and desperate reality.

But at that moment, Yu Chen directly opened the gates of hell in countless dreams.

After countless people in dreams died, they did not return to the hopeless reality. Instead, their souls passed through the gates of hell and went to the underworld.

Seamlessly.

After what they believe to be their "real" life is over, they will truly return to dust, go to the underworld, and be reincarnated.

This was the only way Yu Chen could think of to allow them to truly rest in peace without having to face the cold and desperate reality.

After doing all this, Yu Chen was almost exhausted. He was panting, his face was extremely pale, and sweating all over. Controlling tens of millions of dreams at the same time, even if they were just mortal dreams, was an unimaginable thing. If it weren't for the help of Wen Qitian to control the entire Jiujing's "barrier", Yu Chen would never have been able to do this.

But even so, he was almost exhausted. He staggered to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated to recover.

And the other side.

Because of the heaven and earth barrier set up by Wen Qitian, who was also in the Dao Fruit Realm, the drastic changes in Jiujingzhou and the Liansheng Array had not yet been reported to the Tushita Palace.

Today, the Tushita Palace is still peaceful and tranquil. The golden divine light is dense, and the vast clouds and mists surround it, like a fairyland. The golden road is suspended in the air, connecting countless palaces. There are soldiers in golden armor riding on Pegasus passing by, and there are also figures in Taoist robes walking hurriedly...

But this kind of tranquility definitely does not include one person.

——The Supreme Lord of Tonglin.

Among the seven Supreme Lords of Jiujingzhou, the Holy Power Supreme Lord is in charge of the traffic inside and outside the Tushita Palace. Because of the last "foreign invasion" and the order of the Continent God, this burly Supreme Lord, who is as majestic as a mountain, did not dare to slack off at all. He almost lived on the Tianyu Terrace during this period of time, staring at the huge Dongxu formation with his big eyes to ensure that no movement would escape his eyes.

For several months, there was no movement.

Until this day, ripples of water spread out in the void, and a sky-high white light lit up on the Tianyu Terrace!
Tonglin Shangzun's eyes immediately widened, and his aura burned like a raging fire, rising into the sky!

At the same time, many of his soldiers were on high alert, fighting with fierce swords!
After the white light in the sky went out, a figure shrouded in a pitch-black Taoist robe appeared in the Dongxu formation.

He looked to be the size of a normal person, and was terribly tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. His head was buried in a black hood, and no trace of his appearance could be seen at all.

And his aura was completely restrained.

If he didn't use his eyes to see it, Tonglin Shangzun wouldn't even be able to detect the other party's existence at all.

"Who is coming?!"

Tonglin Shangzun frowned and shouted.

But the other party did not answer, but just looked at the endless Tushita Palace and the Nine Scenes of the World, and exclaimed: "It is said that the Nine Scenes is the most beautiful continent among the thirty-six continents. Now that I see it, it is well-deserved!"

Tonglin Shangzun snorted coldly, he was also an impatient person.

If you don’t tell me your origins, you will die!
Without saying a word, he punched out!
In an instant, the terrifying force of the fist turned into a mighty torrent and rushed forward! With a terrifying force like the sky falling, it smashed down!

The black-robed figure turned around and let out a breath.

boom!
The endless fist force collapsed in an instant!

Then, the hood lifted up a little, and in the darkness, a vertical pupil was seen by Tonglin Shangzun.

At that moment, this middle-level Hedao Supreme felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
I just felt an infinite and terrifying force coming over me like an overwhelming force, and the whole person was pressed to the ground with a bang!

Blood was oozing out of all his orifices and he looked horrified!
The countless soldiers behind him became paralyzed and fell to the ground one after another under this terrifying divine power!

"You...you are..."

Tonglin Shangzun struggled to make a sound, but the pressure that seemed to crush his whole body sank again, directly pressing countless fine cracks on his body that looked like divine iron!

With a "wow" sound, he spit out blood!
But just when all the strength in his body was truly crushed, a light snort sounded from the depths of the Tushita Palace!

Tonglin Shangzun suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and then he heard the slightly angry voice of Lord God.

"Qinglong, you are so brave!"
