Chapter 228 Great Divine Power [Ten Thousand Ghosts Return to Yang]

Within the grotto, towering mountains float above the sea of ​​clouds, and the morning light gradually rises from beneath the clouds, shimmering like golden scales.

On the sword platform, Master Ai and Ao Peng walked side by side, their expressions showing no sign of relaxation, but rather an unprecedented solemnity. He looked towards the distant dawn, took the gourd from his waist, and handed it to Ao Peng, saying, "This journey is to relieve the suffering of the people from their misery and the inversion of yin and yang. Please drink this cup to the brim, fellow Daoist."

Ao Peng took the green wine gourd, shook the sweet wine inside, and dared not make a promise. He also looked at the sea of ​​clouds under the morning sun in the distance. They were going to use the Water Festival to obtain the true water from Erlang Temple to refine the Purple Ying Green Chain Sword. The ghosts of Shudu were also going to wait until the Qingming Festival to open the gates of hell. The decisive battle between the two sides was already an open secret. Neither side could deceive the other. It all depended on whose supernatural power was superior.

After shaking the wine gourd for a while, Ao Peng tossed the green gourd onto the sword platform, where it landed steadily. He laughed and said, "The ghosts are still not at peace, how can a cup of wine dispel sorrow! After the ghost scourge is quelled, we can drink fine wine together, that would be truly enjoyable. How can I drink alone today!"

Upon hearing Ao Peng's heroic words, Master Ai laughed loudly and exclaimed, "Good, good, good! After quelling the ghostly calamity, we shall drink this wine together!"

His laughter was like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, stirring up clouds like rolling seawater.

But the next moment, a sinister voice came from beneath the sea of ​​clouds, "Drinking is fine, but you must all come to the Netherworld for a banquet. Otherwise, how can we let you mortals enjoy yourselves alone!"

As the voice faded, the vast sea of ​​clouds shattered from within.

A phantom gate rose from beneath the sea of ​​clouds. The gate was dark and deep, and the frame was almost invisible. Countless dim green lights were embedded in it, reflecting the Qingming Festival rituals across the entire land of China. Above the huge gate frame, three ancient Youdu divine patterns appeared.

gate of hell!

The eerie voice continued, "During the Qingming Festival, all ghosts return to the world of the living!"

Taking advantage of the change in the weather, the eerie green ghost directly covered the illusory image of the Great Sun of Qingcheng that was about to rise in Qingcheng Cave Heaven, instantly reversing the weather in Qingcheng Cave Heaven, turning day into night, and completely inverting yin and yang.

An almost endless stream of ghostly mist poured out from the Gates of Hell, completely blackening the pure white sea of ​​clouds and plunging the world into darkness.

Within the ghostly mist, countless ghosts lingered, their resentment transforming into black chains that actually locked the void of Qingcheng Cave Heaven.

Then came a series of heavy, clattering sounds as the suspended mountains trembled. The spirit beasts and birds were terrified, knowing they were in grave danger, but they dared not fly freely, fearing they might accidentally fall into the Netherworld.

The numerous Shudu cultivators standing on the suspended mountain sensed the danger even more clearly. Some of them became impatient and even cried out in alarm, "Stop them! They want to drag Qingcheng Cave Heaven into the Netherworld!"

The grotto-heaven is originally independent of the world, a branch outside the world. Blessed lands like Qingcheng Grotto-heaven are embedded in the mortal world, serving as a treasure trove for many cultivators. But now, millions of fierce ghosts in the underworld are working together to pull Qingcheng Grotto-heaven into the underworld and embed it in the underworld.

Great supernatural power.

Ao Peng looked at the enormous gate to hell, which was nearly a thousand feet high, with a solemn expression.

Without a doubt, this was a great supernatural power activated by taking advantage of the Qingming Festival.

The difference between great supernatural powers and ordinary supernatural powers is that great supernatural powers have a historical anchor point. With the help of the power of time, they are no longer like a fleeting moment, but an ancient tree that blooms forever and can bloom every year.

The great supernatural power of "Ten Thousand Ghosts Return to Yang" must have been wielded by one of the Six Heavenly Ghost Kings. By taking advantage of the Qingming Festival as a historical anchor point, it opened up the gap between Yin and Yang, allowing the Netherworld to invade the mortal world and enabling ten thousand ghosts to appear openly in the mortal world.

The other party clearly wanted to drag the entire Qingcheng Cave Heaven into the Netherworld and then kill all the sword immortals in Shudu. That's why they initially ignored Master Ai's gathering of sword immortals from all walks of life, intending to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

"The heavens have three stars representing fortune, prosperity, and longevity; these three stars illuminate the world!"

Ao Peng pointed to the sky, and the golden Qi of prosperity, the red Qi of fortune, and the blue Qi of longevity soared into the sky, forming three divine swords that reached the heavens.

On the immortal island of Penglai, the God of Longevity, who was playing chess with his fellow immortals, suddenly stopped. The immortals playing against him looked at the God of Longevity with a smug expression, "Old God of Longevity, this game is not easy, is it?"

The God of Longevity stroked his long beard and looked towards Chengdu. "This game of chess is indeed difficult, but once a move is made, there's no going back."

After saying that, he picked up three white pieces from his chess box and threw them towards Chengdu.

Three white stones transformed into three bright stars, rushing from afar. They released the authority of the Three Stars of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, and combined with Ao Peng's Three Qi of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, directly hanging above Qingcheng Cave Heaven. They transformed into the light of the Ox and the Dipper, like three wedges, fixing Qingcheng Cave Heaven in place and preventing it from falling further!

"Samsung Shines!"

In the Netherworld, Zhang Yuanbo, the Spring Plague Lord, gritted his teeth. If Ao Peng hadn't demanded a seal from him, the Broom Star, and the Mourning Star, and absorbed the three vital energies of fortune, prosperity, and longevity that they had painstakingly accumulated over a thousand years, how could the other party have cultivated such great supernatural powers?

Shi Wenye, the Plague Lord standing nearby, glanced at Zhang Yuanbo. He had also heard about what had happened in the real world and cursed Zhang Yuanbo inwardly for being more trouble than he was worth. However, his real purpose was not to drag Qingcheng Cave Heaven into the Netherworld.

Samsung's actions, with Ao Peng's help, to fix Qingcheng Cave Heaven with a wedge, clearly show that this history cannot be altered by them, and they are merely putting on a show for the other Eighth Route Army ghost commanders.

Shi Wenye broke out in a cold sweat, feigning distress, and said to the other eight ghost generals, "Gentlemen, the Three Stars have made their move remotely. My brothers and I are using the Great Divine Power of [Ten Thousand Ghosts Return to Yang] to hold back [Three Stars Shining in the World]. You must quickly enter Qingcheng Cave Heaven and kill that General Wu Gong. Once he's dead, the Three Stars will have no anchor in the mortal realm, and we'll be able to drag Qingcheng Cave Heaven completely into the Netherworld. At that time, divine power will be no match for fate, and we'll have the destiny to reign supreme in Shudu for a thousand years!"

Upon hearing Shi Wenye's words, the other Plague Gods immediately displayed the same distressed expressions as him. Among them, Zhao Gongming, who was still the Autumn Plague God at the time, put on the most convincing act. He gritted his teeth and said, "The God of Longevity and I have an irreconcilable feud. Even if it costs me my life, I will not let him have his way!"

Having said that, he picked up a nine-section plague whip and struck the three stars of fortune, prosperity, and longevity above the cave, making them shake as if he were fighting with all his might.

His whip not only made the three stars tremble, but even Shi Wenye, the Plague Lord who activated the great supernatural power of "Ten Thousand Ghosts Return to Yang", felt his heart and liver tremble. He looked at Zhao Gongming with an incredulous expression: Are you serious?
