Chapter 791: Chapter 262: Change in Destiny_2
“Mother is truly amazing!”
“Her knowledge in Formation is incredibly deep. I can hardly understand it in a rush.”
Ning Zhuo communicated secretly with Sun Lingtong, displaying a look of admiration and adoration.
Sun Lingtong laughed softly, thinking: Wasn’t this Array designed by your mother and the White Paper City Lord over seven days and seven nights?
Sun Lingtong deeply understood Ning Zhuo’s feelings, and chose not to spoil the mood.
Meng Yaoyin was a Golden Core True Transmission of a Super Sect, proficient in Mechanical Techniques, naturally adept at many Cultivation Techniques. Unfortunately, she passed away early, leaving only a set of Mechanical Techniques texts for Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo did not inherit her Formation foundation, unable to comprehend the Array here, but he had his own methods.
“Senior Wen, please explain the structures within to me.” Ning Zhuo directly requested.
Wen Ruanyu patiently explained to Ning Zhuo, sharing everything he knew without reservation.
Ning Zhuo had a solid Formation foundation and barely understood two or three parts, making a precise judgment in his heart: “My mother personally arranged this place back then. If I use the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra to burn this Array, it should yield a lot of Spiritual Nature.”
After examining the Array, Ning Zhuo said to Wen Ruanyu: “Let’s head inside the Paperman Giant Statue.”
Wen Ruanyu had no objections.
Netherworld.
Deep within the Water Burial Valley.
The Grey Bone Elder sat cross-legged, slowly opening his eyes, gazing complicatedly at a piece of skull in front of him.
This was the skull of a Heavenly Ghost, a Treasure at the Refining Void Level!
Now, the skull had been refined by the Lord to the point where the surface was molten like liquid, but inside it remained stubbornly bony.
“No wonder you, Lord, have gone to such lengths to refine this piece of Heavenly Ghost Bone.”
“This phenomenal Innate nature perfectly complements you, Lord. No, it seems like it was heaven-made for you.”
The Lord laughed heartily: “If not, why would I make such a grand move.”
After acquiring this skull, he carefully studied it and found it retained some Divine Skills. He painstakingly set up over a hundred years, continuously investing manpower and resources, finally seeing signs of success this year.
In the Heavenly Ghost skull, only a small part of bone remains.
Once it’s completely refined, the Lord can fully absorb it, adding an Innate nature to himself!
The Lord sighed: “I’ve put in immense effort to gain this Innate nature. Just to acquire the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony, I spent thirty percent of my estate’s reserves to exchange with another estate.”
The Grey Bone Elder remained silent for a moment before speaking: “The ceremony has its origins in Confucianism, sacrificing to the heavens and earth. It brings virtue in the Netherworld but calamity in the Mortal World. Thus, it caused countless massacres and blood debts in the White Paper Immortal City.”
The Lord sneered: “Those who achieve great things do not stick to trifles. I am the king of the Netherworld, why would I need the morals of the Mortal World?”
“I must destroy the White Paper Immortal City, using the entire city for a Blood Sacrifice to complete my Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice!”
The Grey Bone Elder sighed: “So, this skull is the source of disaster. I utilized the Tribulation Qi within to perform the Art of Tribulation Gray Overturn, but I also calculated that there are obstacles between you and success.”
The Lord nodded slightly: “I know.”
“To absorb this skull fully, at least a soul foundation equivalent to a million souls is needed, along with ample Evil Qi, enough to manage the impact of this external Innate nature.”
“I, as the Lord of an estate, have a soul foundation surpassing ten million, and a million souls won’t be an obstacle.”
“By employing the Ghost Tide to attack the White Paper Immortal City, I can gather the Qi of Martial Evil to withstand the impact.”
The Grey Bone Elder nodded slightly, then lightly shook his head: “There is more.”
“Hmm?” The Lord was surprised, then said, “Can you calculate for me, Grey Bone Elder?”
The Grey Bone Elder shook his head: “I can’t. But I can give you a hint or two.”
The Lord cupped his hands: “Please share your wisdom, my friend.”
The Grey Bone Elder said: “It’s actually simple, according to my Divination skills, these obstacles are a matter of lifespan competition.”
“Being the lord of an estate, you are naturally a king in the Mortal World, extraordinarily powerful.”
“But this time, the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony encompasses both the Netherworld and the Mortal World. Your status in the Netherworld is unshakable, but in the Mortal World, it’s a significant shortcoming.”
“To succeed in the Mortal World, one must overcome the strongest factions of Lifespan. Only then can it be accomplished.”
“And the Lifespan in the Mortal World is evident: one is the Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland, another is the White Paper Immortal City, and the third is the various Super Sects.”
The Lord laughed heartily: “I’ve long planned against these three. The City Covering Alliance can handle the geographical advantages, insiders can take care of the Immortal City, and I’ve already sowed discord among the various Super Sects.”
Upon hearing this, the Grey Bone Elder nodded slowly: “You’ve made thorough preparations, Lord, accumulating strategies for decades, acting meticulously. Based on the current situation, success is naturally developing.”
“However, Innate nature is a gift from the heavens. Our pursuit of any acquired Innate nature is against heavenly principles and won’t be smooth sailing.”
“Heaven’s lifespan is the greatest. Compared to the heavens, we are like mayflies, ants, insignificant.”
“Therefore, Lord, you must not be careless. Perhaps heaven has already brewed a certain variable, though it has not yet manifested.”
The Lord withdrew his smile, showing a contemplative expression: “If what you say is true, Grey Bone Elder, then finding the variable early and eradicating it at its budding stage would be twice the benefit with half the effort, wouldn’t it?”
The Grey Bone Elder said: “That is the method of dissolving Tribulations.”
“First, locating the variable is extremely difficult.”
“Secondly, you must find the right time to resolve the variable. To dissolve the heavenly Tribulation, the timing must be precise, grasped at the right moment.”
“A little early, the eradicated variable may generate other variables, possibly more, possibly stronger. A little late, and the variable itself may have already caused irreparable negative impacts.”
