Chapter 270 A World-Shaking Event
The world of the living.
The Chaotic Spirit Mountain Range.
The great formation roared, and Xuanyuan Tongxuan set down huge banners that shook violently. The large amount of incense money and yin-tonifying incense piled up in front of his altar were all turned to ashes in an instant, and not even a flame could be seen!
"what?"
Xuanyuan Tongxuan was taken aback. What was going on?
With so many supplies, it should last at least a day, allowing him to complete the process of guiding the ancestor.
How could it just disappear all at once?
"Master, what, what is that..."
As he was wondering, Lian Hong and Bai Li, who were responsible for supporting the great formation, were looking up at the sky in fear!
Xuanyuan Tongxuan looked up and saw countless spiritual lights rushing out from the underworld amidst the vast smoke, like shooting stars streaking across the world of the living, flying to various places in the living world, and then quickly disappearing without a trace.
"A ghost?!"
Xuanyuan Tongxuan was extremely shocked. Could it be that the ghosts of the underworld had escaped?
No, impossible. Once a ghost appears, it will be suppressed and burned to ashes by the heavens and earth of the mortal world!
Throughout history, although a few ghosts have set foot in the mortal realm, these are extremely rare cases. They must be beings like Pangu or Nuwa, with immense backgrounds and extremely special identities.
When will the ghosts arrive in droves?
Moreover, the rules of heaven and earth in the mortal realm remained completely unchanged, as if they had tacitly approved and accepted everything, which was also very abnormal.
"No...it's not a ghost, it's a spirit!"
A thought flashed through Xuanyuan Tongxuan's mind, and his voice trembled slightly as he exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be..."
Yin ghosts and yin spirits differ by only one character, but they represent completely different meanings.
Yin ghosts are spirits from the underworld and must not set foot in the mortal realm. Once they are affected by yang energy, they will dissipate!
However, Yin spirits are the product of Yin ghosts after they have been cleansed of their sinister and ghostly aura. They are just a ray of spiritual light that can exist in the mortal world and can even be reincarnated as humans!
It's impossible for a ghost to transform into a spirit... it only exists in records!
unless……
"Does reincarnation truly exist in this underworld?!"
Xuanyuan Tongxuan was truly terrified. He had never believed in reincarnation, but the current scene... there was no other explanation but reincarnation.
There were so many spirits emerging from the underworld that they covered the sky and earth like a giant meteor shower.
"Quickly, immediately send a message to the Imperial Palace to inform all major forces in the Ziwei Star Region that something terrible has happened!"
He cried out urgently!
Then, he kicked the incense burner in front of him away with a fierce kick, shouting urgently, unable to swing his peach wood sword, wanting to destroy the path he had built.
Because a terrible thought flashed through his mind...
Even a spirit shouldn't be able to find its way to the mortal realm unless someone provides coordinates...
Could it be that by performing rituals to welcome the ancestor, I have inadvertently provided these spirits with coordinates, allowing them to enter the mortal realm?
If that's the case, then it's all over. Even the Dao Palace can't protect him!
Therefore, he can't even care about Ancestor Xuanyuan Dangtian now; the important thing is to quickly cancel the passage he built!
His body was trembling, and he used all his strength, but all he heard was the sound of the peach wood sword breaking with a "crack," and the road was not destroyed at all.
"Is the underworld and the world of the living truly connected by this path?"
Xuanyuan Tongxuan stared at the broken peach wood sword in his hand, utterly terrified. He was now certain that the reason these spirits were able to come to the mortal realm was because of him!
Oh no, am I about to become a sinner for all time?!
"Have you notified them?!"
He turned around, stared at his disciple, and shouted.
"The message has been sent!"
Bai Li, on the other hand, took out a crystal and began to carve it with his own blood essence. It was a communication treasure within the Dao Palace, which could immediately establish communication with the Dao Palace.
"Master, what should we do? What should we do now..."
Lian Hong was completely panicked.
"We can't control this anymore... Let's go, let's get out of here, let's retreat!"
Xuanyuan Tongxuan gritted his teeth, then turned around and fled!
The two disciples hurriedly followed.
……
And this moment.
The Ziwei Star Region, with its main star being Ziwei.
Amidst a vast expanse of mountains and rivers, Taoist palaces and pavilions are scattered like stars in the sky, with auspicious clouds swirling around them, white cranes soaring gracefully, and the resounding voices of sermons echoing throughout the day.
At this moment, atop a majestic mountain peak in the very center, within a massive Taoist palace.
"when!"
Suddenly, a huge bell rang out!
"The bell tolls atop Heavenly Dao Peak, what's going on?"
"The bell on Heavenly Dao Peak only rings when something extremely important happens, and all the elders who are in seclusion must come out... This bell hasn't rung for a thousand years!"
"What happened? Is some terrifying enemy about to attack? Otherwise, why would all the elders in seclusion be alerted?"
In an instant, the peaks trembled, the mountains turned their attention, and all the cultivators in the Dao Palace were utterly shocked!
As the three bells rang out in succession, powerful elders who had been in seclusion all day long emerged from the mountain peaks and flew towards the Heavenly Dao Peak!
"Palace Master, what has happened? Why have all the elders been summoned suddenly?"
"Could it be that a formidable enemy is attacking?"
The Dao Palace has a profound foundation; the three chimes of the bell actually brought out over a hundred peak masters and elders from their secluded cultivation.
Gathered in the Heavenly Dao Hall, everyone asked questions.
At the head of the table was a middle-aged man dressed in a Tai Chi robe. He had a dignified face, and his square face was extremely solemn. He was the master of the Taoist temple—Changsun Xu!
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Changsun Xu stood up and said, "The reason I have disturbed you all today is because... reincarnation has occurred."
Reincarnation has occurred.
Those five simple words caused all the elders in the room to change their expressions drastically!
"What? Reincarnation has appeared..."
"That's impossible! After that person left the underworld, wasn't all the cause and effect related to reincarnation severed? Reincarnation won't happen again!"
"Where did it appear? Is it real or fake!"
Everyone started to speak!
Changsun Xu continued, "It's absolutely true. Several months ago, there were fluctuations from the underworld coming from Nanyao Star. I sent Elder Xuanyuan Tongxuan to investigate. At that time, he said that there seemed to be traces of reincarnation in that underworld. I ordered him to confirm it further..."
"Just now, I received Elder Xuanyuan's message: the underworld that the Battle Demon God transformed into has opened wide, and countless spirits are entering the mortal realm seeking a chance to be reincarnated. Reincarnation... has definitely begun!"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent. All the elders realized the seriousness of the matter!
"The reappearance of reincarnation... could this be another major upheaval?"
"Everyone in the world thought that after that person emerged from the underworld thousands of years ago, all was well. But unexpectedly, such a thunderous event has occurred now..."
"With the rebirth of the cycle, it's possible that all the people from the Primordial Emperor Star will return. Palace Master, this matter is beyond the capacity of our Dao Palace to handle alone!"
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn!
Reincarnation is a taboo in the mortal world!
It involves an ineffable existence, and has countless connections with the deceased ancestral gods and immortals of the Primordial Emperor Star.
"Immediately send a message to Xingxuan, Taiye, Mingguang, and other forces, informing them to head to Nanyao Star!"
Changsun Xu immediately spoke up, saying, "Furthermore, all the elders must come out and investigate the cause and effect of this matter. After all, Nanyao Star is the territory of our Dao Palace. We must not only give an explanation to the people of the world, but also nip it in the bud to prevent our Dao Palace from getting into any trouble!"
In an instant, beams of light streaked across the sky from within the Heavenly Dao Palace, heading towards the outside world!
……
In a giant city.
"News from the Dao Palace: Reincarnation has occurred, and the Yin spirits have passed through the barriers of Heaven and Earth and entered the Yang Realm!"
The Taiye Sect, one of the top powers in the Ziwei Star Region, received an urgent report today. The sect leader was extremely surprised and immediately said, "Go to Nanyao Star and investigate this thoroughly!"
……
The Star-Hanging Sacred Land is a giant star that hangs above countless massive cities. It is a power on par with the Dao Palace and the Taiye Sect.
Today, bells also rang above the mother planet of the Starry Sky Holy Land, and many elders who had been in seclusion were invited out.
"The emergence of reincarnation may bring disaster!"
A voice whispered, "Go and see for yourself. You must confirm the identity of the Lord of Reincarnation. It can't be the one from back then... Try your best to capture Him!"
……
Mingguangzong.
An elderly man with white hair slowly emerged from a mountain cave. He raised his eyes, his aged gaze seeming to pierce through endless space, gazing upon the distant Southern Star…
"The underworld of the Fighting Demon God has been shattered, and reincarnation has finally begun... The Ziwei Star Region has enjoyed countless years of peaceful development, but is it finally about to be thrown into turmoil again?"
"Yes, it's time for those beings from the Imperial Star to return."
He murmured.
"Grandpa, didn't you say that when that person walked out of the underworld thousands of years ago, it meant that the cycle of reincarnation had completely ended?"
Behind him, a girl with clear eyes asked a question with curiosity.
The old man sighed, "Yes, thousands of years ago, when that person emerged, everyone thought they could finally rest easy, because in this world, only he could create reincarnation. He wasn't in the underworld, so even if the seven great demon gods offered themselves as sacrifices, in the end, it would all be for nothing..."
"But that person is still that person. He's not in the underworld, but it seems he must have left a backup plan there, and it succeeded..."
"Grandpa, what should we do?" the girl asked.
"Let's just observe quietly. There are too many beings in this world watching. Whether we take action or not may not make much of a difference."
The old man spoke meaningfully, while the girl inexplicably shivered and said, "Grandpa, are you saying that they are about to awaken?... Then, will I still be unable to go out at night, just like before?"
The old man affectionately stroked his granddaughter's hair and said, "Silly child, you can't go out during the day either. Once the cycle of reincarnation is activated, it will become very strange not only at night but also during the day."
……
On the Purple Star, I know not where.
On a mountain peak teeming with crows, on a withered sycamore tree, an old crow, like a statue, which had been dormant for countless years, suddenly opened its third eye between its brows, its eye filled with blood.
"Gah, gah, gah..."
It suddenly cried out a few times, and in an instant, the mountains and rivers became desolate and cold, and countless crows took flight in unison, blotting out the sky and the sun!
In a dark lake, the water is filled with the upside-down corpses of women, and the bottom of the lake is icy cold.
Suddenly, a faint aura spread out, and all the female corpses opened their eyes. Their eyes had no pupils, only a deathly white, which was extremely horrifying...
……
