I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 156: Penglai Jade Branch and Skeleton Mountain

Above the fairy island palace.

The Taoist priest's face was ferocious at this moment, his veins were bulging, and the long horns on his head continued to extend.

At the same time, four fangs grew out from between his teeth, suddenly piercing through his lips, and his skin became even more scorched yellow.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

He roared, his usual kind image long gone, saliva dripping to the ground as he roared.

"Hmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

With a deafening roar, lightning and thunder surrounded the Taoist priest's body, spreading in all directions like a spider web, and blasting the platform of the dojo into pieces.

Suddenly, as if he realized something, he turned around abruptly and looked at the bodies of the two soldiers behind him.

In an instant, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, winding like a snake and accurately hitting the two soldiers.

Zizizi!
Their bodies were instantly swallowed by lightning, and after a moment, they turned into charred black.

"It's all because of you that I'm trapped here!"

“Why don’t you survive!”

The Taoist priest was still not satisfied. He looked around at the magnificent palace fiercely, his eyes filled with endless anger.

"Five hundred years, I've had enough of this disgusting sight!"

Suddenly, the Taoist priest's eyes turned red and turned sharply towards the towering main palace.

On both sides of the palace gate, there is a couplet engraved with vigorous and majestic handwriting.

【Immortal Immortal Mansion】

【The Immortal’s House of Longevity】

Deep in the palace, on the front wall, the powerful words "Heaven and Earth" are hung.

However, to the Taoist priest at this moment, these words had no appeal at all, and there was only indifference in his eyes.

It was definitely not because he had tried so many times and was simply unable to enter the main hall!
His eyes quickly passed over the two words and then locked onto a large drum in the corridor beside the door.

An indescribable greed surged in the Taoist priest's heart, and he walked towards the big drum step by step.

As the distance got closer, he slowly raised his hand and lightly touched the drum surface with his fingertips.

"Baby, baby, my baby!"

He murmured, his face showing intoxication and obsession.

However, just as he couldn't resist his greed and tried to move the drum with force, he felt as if his whole body was being torn apart and the pain was unbearable.

If you take one more step, you will suddenly feel an intense sense of crisis!
boom!
With a loud bang, the lightning in the Taoist's hand struck the charred bodies of the two soldiers again like an angry dragon. Although they had no life left, they still became targets for him to vent his anger.

"Five hundred years! I have been with you in this place for a full five hundred years!"

"Your master has long since abandoned you and forgotten you here!"

"Why! Do you know how much I paid for you?"

When he looked at the indifferent drum again, he raised his arm, and lightning flashed in his palm.

"..."

Finally, he slowly put down his hand, turned weakly and walked towards the peach blossom pond next to him.

He placed his hands on the edge of the pool and looked down into the water.

In the reflection of the water, I saw my own face was hideous, with fangs and bared teeth, like an evil spirit.

"Damn it, I couldn't control myself again."

He muttered to himself, trying to calm his emotions.

"Keep calm, keep calm."

He kept reminding himself, and as his eyes slowly closed, his breathing gradually became calmer.

Not long after, the long horns and sharp teeth on his face seemed to be pulled back by some force, and finally returned to the appearance of the kind Taoist priest before.

"No! There is still a chance. Penglai opens the island once every 500 years. There must be other people landing there!"

“Since the Four Fighting Gods have disappeared, and the spiritual power in the outside world is very likely to have declined, but I rely on the spiritual energy in Penglai Fairy Island, and my fighting power has not declined but increased!”

"This is different from the weak me five hundred years ago!"

"Hehe, maybe I'm the strongest in the world now?!"

I don’t know if I was comforting myself.

But the Taoist priest looked at himself in the lotus pond, with his sage-like demeanor, and he regained his confidence after talking to himself.

"The next batch of prey, come quickly!"

--------

Kushida Shrine, Fukuoka City.

A solemn atmosphere enveloped the main hall entrance, with two sacred lanterns slowly hanging on both sides and thick ropes tied to the eaves.

Under the shimenawa, Takaita Ryuji looked solemn. He slowly put his hands together, closed his eyes, and bowed deeply to the statue in front of him.

Ryuji Takasaka was naturally aware of the gods enshrined in the Kushida Shrine.

The deities enshrined in the shrine are Amaterasu Omikami, Susanoo no Mikoto, and his wife Kushinada Hime.

Mr. Yu provided help to Ryuji Takashita many times.

When we received the news that the legendary Penglai Fairy Island might appear near Kyushu, we naturally came to pay our respects when passing by the shrine.

And you won’t waste too much time if you visit the shrine along the way.

Just then, a childish voice broke the tranquility of the shrine.

"Mom, I want to go to the amusement park!"

"Shh! This is a shrine, don't make any noise! ​​Children who make noise in a shrine will be taken away by the evil spirits at night!"

"Woo..."

The child was so frightened that he shrank his neck and dared not speak any more.

Hearing the childish voice beside him, Gao Ban Longji couldn't help but look to the side.

I saw a young girl snuggling in a woman's arms.

Hearing the threatening words of the woman next to him about his daughter, Takasaka Ryuji instantly recalled the story related to Amazaki which was used as a threatening word.

Tenshaku is a monster that appears in the Kyushu region story Melon Seed Princess.

In the story, Guaziji, who was born from melon seeds, was adopted and raised by an old couple who had no children. But on the eve of her wedding, Tianxiegui took advantage of the old couple's absence to meet Guaziji, tore her into pieces and ate her, then put on Guaziji's skin and transformed himself.

Eventually, the evil deeds were exposed due to the tip-off from the bird, and the Tianxiegui was killed and cut into pieces.

As expected, parents in all regions of Japan use the same set of procedures to coax their children.

Shaking his head, he turned his gaze to the sea.

It's time to set off for the legendary Penglai Island.

--------

Da da da

Footsteps echoed on the stairs.

At this time, Yamagami Zheya, wearing a red cloud and black robe, slowly stepped onto the last step leading to the top of the mountain.

Behind him, Natsuki, wearing a Uzumaki mask, followed closely.

"It seems that this is our destination."

Caiyue said, with a hint of anticipation in her tone, "Next we..."

However, before he could finish his words, the cold voice of Yamagami Tetsuya came from the front.

"No need, I am enough on my own. Just wait here and provide support for me when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he saw Yamagami Tetsuya's unquestionable look, he seemed to have thought of something and finally chose to remain silent.

Just stood there quietly.

Looking at the figure that gradually disappeared from sight, Caiyue felt a complex emotion in her heart.

Then a sigh echoed softly in the air.

……

Yamagami Tetsuya looked around at the solemn and majestic buildings and was slightly surprised. However, when he thought of his purpose, he stepped forward without hesitation.

Not long after, he saw a Taoist priest meditating on a cushion in front of a lotus pond.

"Is it the immortal who practices here?"

Yamagami Tetsuya was speculating secretly in his heart, but his steps stopped involuntarily, and he waited quietly for the Taoist priest to finish his practice.

Sure enough, not long after, the Taoist priest's voice came from the front.

"May I ask what is the purpose of your coming here?"

As the words fell, the Taoist priest slowly stood up.

A kind face came into Yamagami Tetsuya's sight.

Hearing the Taoist priest's question, Yamagami Tetsuya blurted out the purpose of his trip without hesitation.

"It's like this, Taoist priest. I was entrusted by someone to come here to obtain the Penglai Jade Branch. If..."

However, before he could finish his words, the Taoist priest in front of him gave the answer without hesitation and turned to walk to the side of the main hall.

"Come with me."

Seeing that the other party was obviously trying to lead the way for him, a trace of surprise flashed across Yamagami Tetsuya's eyes.

He never expected that this trip would go so smoothly.

But he quickly raised his feet and followed closely behind the Taoist priest.

Not long after, after walking several hundred meters, they arrived at the backyard of the main hall.

As soon as he entered the backyard, his eyes were attracted by a precious tree with a silver body and a golden trunk.

On the towering golden branches hung fruits as crystal clear as white jade, swaying gently in the breeze.

Seeing this majestic and strange tree, Yamagami Zheya was delighted.

Even though he had never seen it, he could guess that this was the legendary Penglai Jade Tree.

"The Penglai Fairy Island opens once every five hundred years. It is fate to encounter it." The Taoist priest said slowly.

"Although this Penglai Jade Tree grows once every hundred years, if the layman has something to ask for, he can just take it away."

Upon hearing this, Yamagami Tetsuya showed a hint of joy on his face.

However, just as he was about to step forward, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the Taoist priest in front of him and said.

"But, I refuse!"

The Taoist priest shuddered when he heard this. Just as he was about to continue explaining, he heard Yamagami Tetsuya's subsequent words and finally felt relieved.

"Although it is said that meeting each other is fate, but if you don't make any request, I really can't take this treasure with peace of mind."

Yamagami Tetsuya spoke sincerely.

cough cough.

The Taoist priest's originally stiff expression gradually relaxed, and then he turned around, faced Yamagami Tetsuya, and introduced him kindly.

"If you still feel uneasy, please take out the same amount of gold and silver as the Penglai Jade Branch after returning to land and give it to poor people. Just think of it as me accumulating merit."

Hearing the Taoist priest's request, Yamagami Tetsuya showed a hint of admiration on his face.

The masked man once told him that the value of the Penglai Jade Branch lies in the powerful wood spirituality contained in it.

Although equal amounts of gold and silver are valuable, they are indeed dwarfed by the value of the Penglai Jade Branch.

The Taoist priest's move was undoubtedly another way to make him feel at ease accepting this treasure.

What a noble act, Yamagami Tetsuya thought to himself.

So he took a step forward and slowly lowered the Penglai Jade Branch.

The moment the fruit fell into his palm, he felt the touch of jade.

In addition, there was a faint breath of life spreading in his hands.

This life force made his body feel much more comfortable in an instant, as if his entire body was surrounded by warm vitality.

Moreover, he seemed to be able to slightly control the flowers, plants and trees around him, and feel the subtle connection between them and himself.

[It is worthy of being the legendary Penglai Jade Branch]

Yamagami Tetsuya carefully held the Penglai Jade Branch in his hand and thanked the Taoist priest next to him.

"Thank you for your generosity. I won't bother you any more while you practice. I'll take my leave now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed an unusual aura.

In the air, a familiar electric current is quietly gathering since some time ago.

This was thanks to the lightning ability he gained from eating Ryomen Sukuna's finger.

Not only can he control lightning freely, he can also sense the flow of lightning-related power in the air.

He looked in the direction where this spiritual energy was gathering, but unexpectedly, the next scene shocked him.

In his perception, the spirituality of electric current was actually gathering in the Taoist priest's hands!

However, Yamagami Tetsuya quickly calmed down and looked at the Taoist priest with a smile.

"Please wait!"

"Layman, why don't we go to the pavilion and have a chat?"

The Taoist priest said with a smile and then walked forward.

[Humph! Want to escape? Not that easy! ]

Just when the two were about to touch, the Taoist's expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.

"Successful!"

The Taoist priest quickly stabbed Yamagami Tetsuya's abdomen with his hand.

raging!!!

However, just as his palm touched Yamagami Tetsuya, he suddenly retreated quickly.

He looked down and saw that his palm had been stained with a trace of black flame without him knowing when. The flame was like a poison attached to the bones, sticking tightly to his hand and unable to be shaken off.

His face darkened instantly and he asked coldly.

"When did you find out?"

Yamagami Tetsuya raised his hand back and a crackling electric current suddenly burst out from the center of his left hand.

The silence speaks.

"I didn't expect that lightning abilities are so rare, and I can actually encounter one of their kind!"

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, looked like an immortal, and his face was calm and composed.

"But he is just a practitioner in the Dharma Ending Age!"

"Lucky, you tricked me, nothing to be proud of!"

"You know, I am terribly strong now!"

……

"boom!"

A figure shot out from the air, and then with a bang, it slid for a distance in front of the main hall door like a curling stone.

crunch.

The figure's kinetic energy was finally exhausted, and what came into view was the Taoist priest with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The Taoist priest coughed with difficulty, his face full of disbelief.

"Damn it, didn't they say that the spiritual energy outside has been lost almost completely?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shoe slowly emerged from the side of the main hall, followed by the figure of Yamagami Tetsuya.

I saw that around him, the black flames had deformed into a skeleton-like shape, tightly surrounding him.

In addition to the skeleton, purple flames accompanied Yamagami Tetsuya's movements, dragging long flame tails.

In addition, the black flames condensed into a thick arm, with a flaming palm at the end of it clenched into a fist.

"Tell me, why did you attack me?"

"And...what on earth is going on with this fairy island?"
