Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 492 Substitute Death for Rebirth, Soul Stealing Sacrifice

Unrestrained, exhilarating, and powerful!

The only difference was the absence of her previous obsession and madness. Her entire demeanor had changed drastically, as if she had truly become Zhu Liuli from the bottom of her heart, and even heaven and earth had recognized her!
The old beggar standing to the side had a gleam in his eyes.

Above their heads, the shadowy silhouette of a three-legged square table loomed in and out, concealing the presence of the two.

Li Wushou felt relieved and looked up at Zhu Liuli again and again, but he still couldn't see anything amiss.

Aside from himself, this was the first time he had ever seen anyone else use such methods.

Just then, the Sparrow Master finished expressing his feelings.

The altar and the sacred domain were completely accepted by the Sparrow Lord. She was not a foolish person and knew the principle of putting things in her pocket.

Gazing at his own mangled body, he pointed a finger.

The unique fluctuations of the True Spirit Technique swept out and enveloped the mangled body.

Inscriptions flickered within the mangled body; the flesh and bones had long been engraved with intricate inscriptions by the Sparrow Lord.

At this moment, as the inscription flashed, the sparrow egg that had been swallowed by the remains trembled slightly, and a life force was drawn out, but there was no trace of Zhu Liuli.

At this moment, it was as if the broken body had been revived and had come back to life.

The extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth at the time of the Venerable One's passing were momentarily halted.

The Sparrow Lord had a solemn expression, his hands constantly forming hand seals.

The power of the true spirit poured into the mangled body, causing the fluctuations of the inscriptions within it to abruptly cease, and the sparrow egg fell silent once more.

After its vigorous vitality reached its peak, it had no more to draw upon and slowly dissipated into the world. The remaining body seemed to have experienced a final burst of energy before it was completely exhausted.

This time, in the eyes of outsiders or even the heavens and earth, the life force of the broken body of the Sparrow Lord had completely come to an end!

Amidst a bloody storm and thunderous roars, heaven and earth grieved as they began to bid farewell to the Sparrow Lord.

The inscriptions within the remains turned into points of light, bursting forth with black flames that ignited the remains, which then dissipated like a feather ascending to heaven.

The Sacred Realm Pill, refined by the Sparrow Lord, reignited with black flames, burning away the dregs.

Seeing this scene, Li Wushou felt a sense of understanding.

The seemingly unnecessary action of the Sparrow Lord actually made the connection between the sparrow egg and the remains even closer, as if they had completely merged into one.

The Sparrow Lord not only needs the true spirit to reside in Zhu Liuli's body, but also requires Zhu Liuli's yang spirit to die in her place.

What she wanted was not Zhu Liuli's Yang God power, but Zhu Liuli's true spirit!
The entire process was extremely fast. Driven by the inscriptions within the remains, the burning and purification process was completed in no more than three breaths, fulfilling the requirements of the Sparrow Lord.

Within the remaining sparrow egg, the Zhu Liuli Yang Shen remained silent, its true spirit's energy fluctuating.

The Sacred Realm Pill beside it was filled with a large amount of Yang God essence.

A rich aroma spread throughout the abyss.

This is not just a olfactory stimulation, but something that penetrates deep into the soul.

Li Wushou's physical body, primordial spirit, formless golden elixir, and even his Daoist spiritual body were all trembling slightly.

Is this the unimaginable enlightenment the old beggar spoke of?

With a swift movement, Li Wushou was about to make his move.

But the old beggar firmly pressed him to the spot.

"What's the rush? It's not ready yet!"

Li Wushou paused, "It's not done yet?"

Before he could reply, the Sparrow Lord inside the Sealing Spirit Altar, suppressing his joy, opened his mouth and swallowed the sparrow egg and the fertility pill.

The true spirit firmly locked onto the sparrow egg, drawing upon Zhu Liuli's true spirit.

The essence of Yang Shen tempers one's body, constantly resonating with heaven and earth.

The Sparrow Master looked around at himself and revealed a slight smile. He had finally been reborn.

But then his eyes sharpened, and he looked up at the sky.

Above, the blue sky above, light and shadow danced, dividing the entire sky in two.

The scene of Zhongtian Pass above the abyss appears in the sky on the left.

Huang Shigong, his life force exhausted, collapsed on the Xuanhuang Platform. The flag bearer and Konggu Zhen continuously activated the power of Xuanhuang to repair Huang Shigong's Xuanhuang Dharma Realm and keep him alive.

Shi Lin repeatedly raised the Xuanhuang Temple Order towards Xuanhuang Terrace, contacting the Xuanhuang Temple Master.

Dao Yan then led Zi Zhen and the others to form a circle, protecting Huang Shigong and the others while contacting Yan Wu Dazun.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou couldn't help but recall what the old beggar had said earlier: Yanwu and Xuanhuang couldn't go anywhere.

How exactly did the Mahjong Master trap them?

At the same time, the light and shadow on the right side of the sky flickered, and Li Wushou saw the answer. In the unknown void, black flames permeated around Yanwu and Xuanhuang.

Black feathers nailed to the void, and black flames, carrying the power of the Holy Domain's self-destruction, firmly sealed Yanwu and Xuanhuang within.

Opposite the two was a mangled, bloodied black sparrow figure, lifeless.

He mechanically kept plucking black feathers, igniting black flames, and replenishing the area around Yanwu and Xuanhuang to ensure that the two could not escape.

However, judging from the black feathers on the black sparrow, there are not many left.

Although Yanwu and Xuanhuang did not confront Sparrow Lord head-on with his self-destructive methods, they still used Daoist rhymes to continuously deplete the power of Sparrow Lord's black feathers and the burning of his sacred domain.

As a result, Black Feather's energy was greatly depleted!
In ten more breaths, Yanwu and Xuanhuang will surely be freed.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou's mind stirred. He suddenly remembered what the Sparrow Venerable had said earlier: the Black Sparrow God was a twin. It seemed that although this Black Sparrow God had not been sealed by the Sparrow Venerable, she had already refined it into a true spirit garment.

Because of their shared origin and common roots, even Yanwu and Xuanhuang were kept in the dark!
As a result, the two were trapped in the void by the self-destructive methods of the Sparrow Lord's Sacred Domain.

Brilliant tactics, brilliant strategy!
Even Li Wushou couldn't help but praise the Sparrow Master.

No wonder Yanwu and Xuanhuang were fooled; if he were in their shoes, he probably would have been fooled too.

After all, the Mahjong Master has always been perceived as crazy and obsessive. Who would have thought that he had secretly orchestrated such a grand scheme?

Just then, the reflection of the Sparrow Lord in the sky seemed to stir the emotions of Yanwu and Xuanhuang. The two looked up at the same time, glaring angrily at the Sparrow Lord across the void.

The two didn't utter any harsh words, but the murderous intent in their eyes was undisguised.

Seeing this, Que Zun smiled but remained silent.

With a thought, his figure vanished into the abyss and suddenly appeared above Zhongtian Pass.

The old beggar and Li Wushou, with the phantom image of the three-legged square table above them, followed each other back to the ground.

Looking up, the altar beneath the Sparrow Lord's feet, with its blue sky and yellow earth, instantly merged into the world of the Sealed Spirit Path.

The incense sticks above the Sparrow Lord's head sparkled in the sky, reflecting the scene of Yanwu and Xuanhuang being trapped in the void, as he stood quietly in mid-air.

Although the aura was not obvious, Dao Yan and the others were greatly shocked.

The immense pressure made it difficult for Dao Yan and the others to breathe, and they plummeted straight down into the void. When they saw Yan Wu and Xuan Huang sealed away, they were filled with even greater fear.

Although the Sparrow Lord was in the form of Zhu Liuli at this moment, the aura around him made Dao Yan and the others fully aware of his true nature.

That strange phenomenon just now was actually because this Spirit Sealing Path Sparrow had become a Venerable!

The Sparrow Lord was willing to sacrifice his own life to seal away the Great Lord and the Abbot.

In an instant, they understood the reason for the shared sorrow of heaven and earth and the sound of the Great Dao.

Is death and life truly like this?
The crowd was unclear about the meaning behind the Sparrow Lord's actions. In their view, the Sparrow Lord was not a selfless person who would do anything for others.

Without time to think it over, the Sparrow Lord lowered his head slightly and looked down at the crowd.

Above the Sparrow Lord's head, in the sky above, two sparrow heads, one gold and one red, suddenly lowered their heads. Compared to when Zhu Liuli rode them, these two sparrow heads had more dark patterns and were filled with a mysterious color.

The moment the two sparrows lowered their heads, they opened their beaks and pecked down at Zhongtian Pass.

Dao Yan's expression changed drastically, but he was unable to move. The sparrow's head plunged into the void, and the Myriad Fire Mirror was pecked out. The scorching white flames dissipated, and the sparrow's head held it in its mouth.

On the other side, the flag bearer, carrying Huang Shigong, quickly rolled away to avoid the sparrow's beak, but Kong Gu was not so lucky and had half of his body pecked to pieces.

The next instant, the Xuanhuang Platform was held in his mouth like the Mirror of Ten Thousand Fires.

Only the upper half of the body remained in the empty valley, howling in agony.

However, it was clear that the Sparrow Sovereign had no intention of targeting the group, or perhaps she simply didn't care about them at all; all she wanted were the Myriad Fire Mirror and the Mysterious Yellow Platform.

Kong Gu just happened to be standing in front of her mouth!
The Sparrow Lord withdrew his gaze and stared at Yanwu and Xuanhuang, with the two sparrow heads behind him holding the Myriad Fire Mirror and the Xuanhuang Platform.

He smiled, revealing his teeth, and said softly:
"Seize the spirit, sacrifice to the Dao, and perfect the laws of heaven and earth!"

The moment he finished speaking, the Sparrow Lord formed a hand seal, and the power of his true spirit shook the heavens and the earth. In the world, the Daoist essence of Xuanhuang and fire rose up and gathered on the two sparrow heads.

This is the original essence of the Dao of Xuanhuang and Fire contained within the Nine Princes' Altar.

After Zhu Liuli's transformation into a Venerable, it has become the foundation of his Holy Domain, and is now under the control of the Sparrow Venerable.

Driven by the power of the true spirit, the two Daoist principles transformed into inscriptions, which were engraved on the Myriad Fire Mirror and the Xuanhuang Platform.

The Sparrow Master's expression was solemn as he opened his mouth and began to murmur.

Li Wushou heard it clearly: at this moment, the Sparrow Lord was reciting the "Sacrifice Chapter" of the Immortal Mountain Book!
The Sparrow Lord chanted extremely fast, his mind far stronger than Zhu Liuli's. His chanting was both fast and steady. Just three breaths later, the Myriad Fire Mirror and the Xuanhuang Platform in the Sparrow's mouth ignited with black flames.

Yanwu and Xuanhuang's expressions changed drastically, and Li Wushou also looked surprised.

He turned to the old beggar and asked:

"Does the Sparrow Lord also have to offer sacrifices to the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple?"
