I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 589 Eliminating Disaster
Liang Yuan was familiar with the name Su Pingsheng, but that was a long time ago. She just hadn't expected to hear it from Jiang Wen, which brought back some memories.

"It seems you know him." Jiang Wen's words carried a hint of murderous intent, which even Liang Yuan could sense.

She looked at Jiang Wen with some surprise, and asked with great confusion, "Do you have a grudge against Su Pingsheng?"

“I do have a grudge against him, and I once promised someone that I would avenge him.” Jiang Wen’s expression was calm, but his tone was distant. “If you can tell me about Su Pingsheng, I might spare your life.”

Liang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. She had once thought this man was rather naive, but it seemed he hadn't changed at all. He actually wanted to spare the life of an enemy like her, who wanted her dead. Wasn't he afraid of nurturing a tiger only to cause more trouble later?

"You're going to spare my life?" Liang Yuan asked with a light laugh.

"It's just an exchange. Tell me about Su Pingsheng, and I'll let you off the hook." Jiang Wen stood still, his eyes devoid of any other emotion.

"I want to kill you, but you're willing to let me go?" She summoned the scroll and stood upon it. The Purple Cauldron hung above her head, its emanating purple energy continuously flowing into her body to heal her wounds.

“You are not a member of the God Worship Society, and I have no major grudge against you. I know you have never harmed ordinary people, so why not spare your life?” Jiang Wen said.

He didn't actually harbor much hatred towards Liang Yuan, because what he disapproved of was the behavior of the God Worship Society that harmed the common people for their own selfish desires. Although she had a notorious reputation within the God Worship Society, Jiang Wen felt that Liang Yuan was not someone who enjoyed killing innocent people.

He wanted the God Worship Society to perish, and Liang Yuan had the same goal, so why couldn't he let her go?

"Hmph." Liang Yuan didn't say anything, but just snorted at Jiang Wen.

He then sat cross-legged on the ground, activating the life fire in his dantian to expel the impure spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen didn't sit still either, looking around to try and find a place to settle down.

Looking up at the sky, the once azure expanse was now a deep, inky black. A blood-red crack, resembling an eye, occupied most of the sky. Deep, dark, crimson light intertwined and swirled, converging on the crack from all directions, forming a bizarre and wondrous sight.

Everything grew under the crimson light of the red moon, making Jiang Wen feel as if he had returned to the scarlet northern lands. However, compared to those northern lands, this place was even more eerie.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, the Tai Xuan Mirror flew like a rainbow to Liang Yuan's side, and before she could react, he activated the mirror's light to shine upon her.

It hung in the sky and cast milky white light down onto the earth, enveloping the thousand-foot-long black mud and blood-red color within it.

Liang Yuan looked down at the ground and discovered that beneath the thick black mud, a gigantic mouth was quietly opening, attempting to swallow her and the painting whole. If Jiang Wen's Tai Xuan Mirror hadn't saved her, who knows what might have happened.

"Sky Strike!" With a shout, the Sky Strike Sword transformed into a stream of light and pierced through the gaping maw.

With a violent scream, the gaping mouth frantically fled into the depths of the black mud.

But Jiang Wen was not about to let him leave so easily. He made a hand seal and activated the Samadhi True Fire, attaching it to the wooden whip.

He stepped out of the formation and instantly appeared in front of that huge mouth.

Looking at the grotesque shape of the gaping maw, its tongue was filled with the images of struggling human faces. One wonders how many people this beast had devoured, to possess such a heavy burden of resentment. The souls of the dead are trapped within the gaping maw's body, and barring unforeseen circumstances, they will likely be forever condemned to eternal damnation.

"You beast, die!" Jiang Wen coldly swung his wooden whip. The whip, crackling with real fire, lashed at the large mouth, causing it to scream in agony.

It struggled with all its might, but was firmly trapped by the Tai Xuan Mirror.

Jiang Wen took out two yellow talismans and affixed them to the wooden whip. He activated them with Samadhi True Fire, chanting the incantation: "Heavenly thunder, faint and faint, Si. Earthly thunder, booming and rumbling, Mao. Dragon thunder, swirling water, Chen. Water thunder, surging waves, Zi. Earth God's command, fire and thunder, Mao. Thunder and lightning, crisscrossing, Yin. The mechanism is activated, capturing the evil spirit, Gen. Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

After the incantation, purple lightning crackled around the wooden whip.

Thunder rumbled in all directions, and wind and fire rose from the ground.

As the divine thunder shone, Jiang Wen raised his wooden whip. The lightning illuminated his face, making him appear as if a thunder god had descended to earth.

"Die." Purple lightning transformed into a long whip, moving in sync with Jiang Wen.

It landed on the gaping mouth and rotten tongue, unleashing a sea of ​​thunder and lightning.

"Ugh!" Big Mouth screamed, struggling even more violently. The Tai Xuan Mirror swayed precariously, almost unable to contain the beast.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen wasn't in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and pinched five fingers towards the giant mouth. From beneath the thick black mud, countless black, withered trees sprouted. These thousands of withered trees transformed into vines, firmly binding the giant mouth. No matter how much the beast struggled, it couldn't escape its confined space.

"Ziyun, are you alright?" Jiang Wen felt relieved seeing the beast trapped. He sent a message to Ziyun using his divine sense to inquire if she was safe.

The sudden and devastating event had left everyone with various injuries. Although Zi Yun resided in his body, she was inevitably affected as well.

"I'm fine, don't worry." The cool female voice came, as calm as ever.

Nodding, Jiang Wen looked at the beast again.

After being struck by his divine thunder magic, even the demons born in this Black Mountain region would find it difficult to survive. These creatures, born from the filth of heaven and earth, are precisely the target of the Divine Firmament Thunder Magic. Subduing demons with the ultimate yang and yang thunder magic is something even the most wicked heavenly demons reborn would find difficult to withstand.

Only after dragging the beast out of the black mud could its form be seen.

Its enormous mouth, resembling that of a crocodile, occupied two-thirds of its entire body. Its large, bronze-bell-sized eyes overflowed with black, murky substances, while the rest of its body resembled that of an infant.

Jiang Wen felt physically uncomfortable watching it, never imagining that such a deformed monster existed in the world.

"What on earth is this?" Jiang Wen fanned his nose in disgust, trying to dispel the pungent stench. He made a Three Pure Ones gesture with one hand and softly recited the Rebirth Sutra.

"The Savior of Suffering, the Heavenly Venerable, pervades the ten directions, constantly using his divine power to save all sentient beings..."

Though the sound was soft, it could reach all directions.

Hearing this, Liang Yuan, who was still recovering from her injuries, felt her previously chaotic state of mind gradually calm down. As she gazed at Jiang Wen's figure, she vaguely saw a golden deity manifest.

Jiang Wen was surrounded by white light, and countless seal characters appeared from the void.

Golden lotuses appeared, and celestial music and Taoist chants resounded.

It seemed as if divine beings were chanting songs from all eight directions, lending a touch of holiness to this dark and bloody place.

Countless white seal characters flew into the giant mouth's body, terrifying it greatly. The beast struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Gradually, the beasts stopped struggling, and Li Yunshang and the others also woke up.

They sat within the formation, gazing at Jiang Wen, all observing his sacred presence.

Countless seal characters formed shackles, locking that gaping mouth shut. The scorching heat fell on every inch of its face, causing the beast to howl in agony.

As the wailing subsided, Big Mouth's body turned to ashes.

Countless souls broke free from his body and floated around Jiang Wen.

When Jiang Wen opened his eyes and looked at the ghosts, they all knelt down before him.

"Go, you are free now." Jiang Wen waved his sleeve, and the ghosts turned into starlight and dissipated. The starlight gathered together and finally fell into Jiang Wen's hand, turning into a blue droplet the size of a thumb.

"These are the tears of the Enkidu?!" Liang Yuan exclaimed in surprise as they landed on the scroll.
