Chapter 846: Chapter 240: Yellow Springs Underworld Lost in the Distance, Central Capital’s Myriad Sects Become the Academy

Li Yuan and Xiaozhao gazed at the distant, awe-inspiring new Ghost Prison, and at the indifferent cyan-robed woman standing beneath the Ghost Hall. In such a scene, if she claimed to be a Ghost God, who would doubt it?

"Dad, what’s happening?" asked the confused Xiao Wu Ya, being held back.

Li Yuan spoke solemnly, "There are three places in the world where Ghost Realm Unity exists.

One is here with your mother;

Another is in Yanyun, rumored to be the fusion of Ghost Lake, Ghost Mountain, and Lianyi House;

The last is Beifeng Inn, merging with the Ghost Market.

I suspect the other two are heading this way."

"This..."

Xiao Wu Ya was utterly shocked by Li Yuan’s words, and then quickly worried, "What about Mom?"

Li Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, simply saying, "Later, you should step back a bit."

Xiao Wu Ya immediately understood that her father intended to help her mother fight the other two Great Ghost Realms again.

But at such a level of slaughter, even Dad might not prevail, right?

Having been with Li Yuan for so long, she naturally knew her father’s strength was actually comparable to those of the Forbidden Ghost Realm; one could say her father was a walking taboo.

And among the seven taboos of the Nine Paths, if ranked, her father would undoubtedly be in the top three. Even if her mother controlled the entire Ghost Prison, if they fought, the outcome would be uncertain.

But now, these three clusters of Ghost Realms were no longer taboos; they had "evolved" into existences beyond taboos, which surpassed her father’s strength.

So, in such a collision of three existences, could her father involve himself?

She showed a look of concern.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, pinched the small tuft of hair on Xiao Wu Ya’s head, but said nothing more.

He couldn’t possibly stand by and watch as Lady Yan fought alone.

...

As the father and daughter talked, many Fifth Grade powerhouses flew over from the direction of Shanbao County.

They were all from Wendao Palace.

Wendao Palace didn’t have any Fourth Grade, but there were plenty of Fifth Grade.

In his spare time, Li Yuan often pondered over the matter of the "Fourth Grade Skill."

In the end, it was simple. For a Fifth Grade to reach Fourth Grade, one had to refine the heart, enter the right path with the heart, and pursue righteousness.

But even so, those people could never grasp his Power of the Great Vortex nor condense the Great Moon Blade that could cause nearby objects to collapse and compress.

Because whether it’s the Power of the Great Vortex or the Great Moon Blade, they are based on his nearly twenty thousand Talisman Seeds, which are countless beliefs he has refined.

However, for a regular disciple of Wendao Palace, three Talisman Seeds would be their limit.

Three, how could it compare to twenty thousand?

Moreover, if thousands of powerhouses were to pursue righteousness, it might be a disaster for a country.

And there were other issues within.

Pursuing righteousness was only the path after "Overlord Blade," so what about "Absolute Blade" and "Demon Blade"? Where are their paths? Even if the core power can’t be mastered, shouldn’t there at least be a path for progression?

Thus, while thinking about these three paths’ Fourth Grade Skills to pass on to Wendao Palace, Li Yuan was also watching for opportunities.

When he sensed many Fifth Grade flying over, he glanced to his side, saying, "Have them quickly retreat, don’t get close."

Xiao Wu Ya didn’t move, but from the earth emerged Tree Grandmother Xiaozhao, holding a thorn stick.

This Tree Grandmother Xiaozhao transformed into a crow, flapped its wings, and flew up to meet the newcomers.

Those many Fifth Grade flyers, upon seeing the crow, saluted one after another, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Divine Crow Lady."

Some said, "We saw unusual movements here, so we came to check."

Others said, "Is it that Lady Yama is about to awaken?"

The crow cawed, "There are still great disturbances here, not something you can withstand; quickly retreat."

These Fifth Grade were shocked, thanked her repeatedly, and obediently left.

Many years ago, the Divine Crow Lady might have been just a "mascot," even the title "Lady" given by the princess of the Former Chu Kingdom; but following the appearance of True Monarch Red Boy during the great ghost tide years ago, and the Divine Crow Lady’s emergence, they dared not underestimate her anymore.

And last year, when the Emperor decreed "The Southern power, I will not receive," many powerhouses fled south to seek refuge, directly placing the Southern Land on the roasting spit. However, the Divine Crow Lady single-handedly stood with a thorn stick at Antelope Pass, blocking the way for the heroes from the Central Plains.

As a result, no one could pass.

No matter how many Sixth Grade, Fifth Grade, or even Fourth Grade, none could enter the Southern Land under the Divine Crow Lady’s watchful eyes.

Only then did people realize that Divine Crow Lady was actually an existence standing at the top of the pyramid.

It’s only in front of Li Yuan that Xiaozhao was still a daughter.

Outside, in the Western Pole, she was the Crow Mother, and in the Central Plains, she was already the world-renowned Divine Crow Lady.

Soon, the Tree Grandmother Xiaozhao, who went to deliver the message, continued flying, landing on a mountain peak to intercept anyone coming.

Li Yuan and Xiao Wu Ya watched from the front line.

About half an incense stick’s time later, the Ghost Prison in Li Yuan’s eyes suddenly began to blur.

The cyan-robed Lady Yan in front of the palace suddenly lifted her head slightly, looking towards the distant father and daughter.

In an instant, their gazes connected.

Lady Yan in Cyan Robe smiled.

Time seemed to stop.

The next moment, Lady Yan and the entire Ghost Prison suddenly vanished.

She... was saying goodbye.

And in Li Yuan’s eyes, the Ghost Prison transformed into a mass of terrifying Yin Qi, rushing towards the other two masses of Yin Qi.

"Mom!" Xiaozhao called, but she couldn’t see where the Ghost Prison went.

The Divine Crow Lady turned back into a little girl, incessantly calling "Mom, Mom, Mom."

Li Yuan patted her head, saying, "You guard the county, Dad will go take a look."

"Mm..." Xiaozhao’s eyes glistened with tears.

Li Yuan’s figure flashed, swiftly following the trajectory of the Yin Qi.
