Chapter 29

Mountains of blades, seas of fire, endless slaughter, layers upon layers of blood-colored illusions enveloped Jiang Yuanchen. Death by a thousand cuts, beheading, tongue pulling, boiling oil, and all kinds of punishments were displayed in the illusions.

Not only Jiang Yuanchen, but Lin Zixuan, the Lin family's father and son, and Arrester Wang were also caught in the illusions. However, Lin Zixuan's mind was pure and honest, so he easily saw through the illusions and stood beside Jiang Yuanchen.

"This illusions seems to target one's Karma?" Lin Zixuan was confused.

Jiang Yuanchen looked at the remaining four people and said, "Yes, this Book Spirit is the Spiritual God of Punishment born in this black book of punishment. It specializes in using all kinds of punishments to target sinners. We don't have any Karma, so we don't need to care about this kid's supernatural power. As for the four of them … "

The two young masters of the Lin family were weak. One was a merchant, and the other was a scholar. Neither of them had killed anyone. As for Lin Yuanzhao, although he had some sins when he was an official, he worked hard for the country and had a lot of moral merit, which was enough to resist the power of the illusions. Otherwise, Lin Yuanzhao would have been killed long ago because he stayed beside the black book all year round.

"A flaw does not obscure a jade. Lay Buddhist Lin is a good official." Jiang Yuanchen's eyes drifted to Arrester Wang who was the last. This arrester was protected by the official's Karma, and he did not commit any major crimes, so he was not killed by the various punishments in the illusions.

"I guess the murders in the city were done by you using this illusions?" Jiang Yuanchen was proficient in illusions, so he understood that these high-level illusions could pass off as genuine through the human mind. Presumably, death sentences such as burying alive and drowning were done through this illusions.

As he laughed, Jiang Yuanchen walked toward the black book.

The green light on the black book shook, and the fiery oil, rain of knives, and forest of swords attacked Jiang Yuanchen.

"How can such illusions hurt me?" Jiang Yuanchen saw all kinds of punishments coming at him. He drew a purple five-pointed star in front of his chest, and the stars dispersed the illusions cast by the black book.

Although Jiang Yuanchen had the support of Taixu Taoism, his current level of cultivation was similar to that of a rogue cultivator. Without the real cultivation incantation of Taixu Taoism, he only used the Purple Cloud Incantation to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage. He was no different from those rogue cultivators who broke through by chance.

However, Jiang Yuanchen had been unable to return to the mountain for various reasons, and the sect had compensated him in another way. In addition to the fundamental celestial arts, there were people who gave him pointers on spells, seal scripts, and sword techniques. From these techniques, he had widened the gap between him and the rogue cultivators.

The Starry Sky Destruction Curse that Jiang Yuanchen had used earlier was taught to him by Lin Zixuan. It was a curse that specialized in dealing with illusions.

He approached the black book step by step, and a gust of black gas flew out of the black book, forming the appearance of a green-faced, ferocious-looking ghost god in black robes.

The fierce ghost held the chain in one hand and the knife in the other. It shouted at Jiang Yuanchen. Holding the chains in one hand and the punishing knife in the other, the fierce ghosts shouted at Jiang Yuanchen who was walking over.

With a faint smile, Jiang Yuanchen continued walking toward the black leather book. "What's wrong? Seeing that Jiang Yuanchen did not listen, the ghost waved the black chain in its hand. Fifteen ghosts appeared around Jiang Yuanchen and wailed.

Jiang Yuanchen could not help but frown. He touched the black jade necklace on his neck with his left hand. Blue divine power flashed, and the fifteen ghosts were forced back.

Jiang Yuanchen couldn't help but furrow his brows as his left hand touched the black jade necklace hanging on his neck. Dark blue divine power flashed, forcing the fifteen ghosts to retreat one after another.

"These ghosts are the people you've been killing these days?" After Jiang Yuanchen repelled the ghost spirit, he walked to the ghost god's side. "You're using murder and torture to condense your godhood, aren't you?"

Seeing that these ghosts were not of much use, the ghost deity brandished the punishing knife in his hand at Jiang Yuanchen.

"It's just an elf from a book. How can a mere hundred years of cultivation be worth mentioning?" Jiang Yuanchen snorted. Ignoring the chopping knife, he stretched out his hand and lightly poked the Ghost God's dharma body. The green-faced and fanged Ghost God instantly dissipated, replaced by a palm-sized monster that looked like a tiger lying on the black leather book.

Jiang Yuanchen did not care about the ghost. He pointed at the monster and said, "Don't you know this? Jiang Yuanchen didn't care that the ghost god had attacked him. He explained to the monster in front of him, "Don't tell me you don't even know this bit of common sense? No wonder he hasn't even reached the Wanderer realm! "

Lin Zixuan followed Jiang Yuanchen. He recalled the Divine Beast Manual he read in the inner hall. "That's right. Bi 'an is a divine beast in charge of justice. Lin Zixuan followed Jiang Yuanchen over, recalling the incomplete list of divine beasts he had read in the inner sect. "That's right, Bi 'an was originally a divine beast that was in charge of justice, so it makes sense that it was born with an awe-inspiring righteousness that came with a baleful aura. However, why is this Suanni so weak? "Suanni was a descendant of a dragon, and as a sub-dragon, it should not be weaker than a Gold Core cultivator.

Jiang Yuanchen flicked the Bi 'an away from the book and pointed at the tiger head pattern on the front. With a flick of his finger, Jiang Yuanchen flicked the Suanni away from the black leather book. Then, he pointed at the tiger head pattern on the front of the black leather book.

"The Taoist priest is not guilty of killing. If you dare to hurt the Taoist priest, then your newly formed spirit will really disappear."

"I don't have any killing sins. If you really dare to hurt me, then the Dharma position that you have just condensed might really dissipate."

"The Taoist priest is not guilty of killing. If you dare to hurt the Taoist priest, then the spirit title you have just formed will disappear for real."

"Junior Brother, are you saying that the reason why this Book Spirit kills people outside is completely out of instinct? It wants to use killing to punish evil to raise its own spirit and condense a Deity Position?"

"Junior Brother, do you mean that the Book Spirit killed people because it was its instinct? It wanted to punish people to improve its spirit and form a spirit title?" Just like how the spirits of plants could breathe in and out vitality, the instinct of this Book Spirit was to enhance its spirituality by punishing evil and killing people. Then, with the help of its spirituality, it could transform into a real God Spirit.

"So, in the beginning, it instinctively went to the prison to look for death row prisoners to attack. As Jiang Yuanchen spoke, the Bi 'an jumped around him. Jiang Yuanchen threw it out of the study and watched it crawl back.

As Jiang Yuanchen spoke, Bian jumped back and forth around him. Jiang Yuanchen casually threw him out of the study and watched as it crawled back on its own.

It lives in the Lin Mansion, so it can only find some sinners through the Lin Mansion. Those who died were just related to the Lin Mansion, so it used its eyes to see through their past crimes and killed them. Since it was in the Lin Mansion, it could only use the Lin Mansion to find some sinners. Those who died were only related to the Lin Mansion, so it used its Innate Discerning Eyes to see through their past crimes and killed them. Patting the tiger's head, Jiang Yuanchen asked Bi An.

Lao Ai slapped Jiang Yuanchen's palm away with his claw and said, "That's right. When those people entered Lin Mansion or wandered around Lin Mansion, I used my Third Eye to see their sins and left marks on them. Only then did I punish them according to their sins."

"That's right," said Jiang Yuanchen as he slapped Jiang Yuanchen's hand away. "That's right. When those people entered the Lin Mansion or wandered around the Lin Mansion, I saw through their crimes with the Third Eye and left a mark on them. That's why I punished them according to their crimes." Jiang Yuanchen picked up the black book and said, "Then this matter is over, and the real murderer has been determined. Senior Brother, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Lin Zixuan pondered for a long time. With a thought, a wisp of True Fire sprang out from his index finger and slowly approached the black book in Jiang Yuanchen's hand.

"No!" Bi 'an screamed. This book could be said to be its original body. If the black book was destroyed, then it would only be a dead end for it.

Jiang Yuanchen smiled and gestured to Lin Zixuan to put away his True Fire. "Senior Brother, although you've condensed your True Fire in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it's also condensed from your essence. Don't use it carelessly."

Lin Yuanzhao and the others came to their senses. Seeing Jiang Yuanchen put away his True Fire, they walked over.

"Lay Buddhist, if the Taoist priest is not mistaken, this book is a human skin book, right?" asked Jiang Yuanchen as he opened one of the pages and pointed at the book.

"Yes. It's said that this book was made from the skin of a condemned prisoner." Lin Yuanzhao looked at the monster on Jiang Yuanchen's shoulder with a bad expression. After all, he was already so old, and could not endure such a shock. Lin Yuanzhao couldn't help but think of the health technique he learned at the Imperial Advisor's Mansion in the capital. He had to practice it well.

Seeing Lin Yuanzhao's wandering eyes, Bi 'an curled her lips and stared at the black book in Jiang Yuanchen's hand.

"No wonder the spirituality of this book is so high. It turns out that the selection of materials is very particular!" Jiang Yuanchen touched the human skin page. It was indeed the skin of a real person, but the protection was too good.

Then, Jiang Yuanchen sniffed the black ink on it.

"Although I can't tell anything now, I don't think these marks were written with the blood of the deceased, right? Only the skin of condemned prisoners and their blood can maximize the spirituality of this book, "said Jiang Yuanchen as he massaged Bi 'an on his shoulder.

"Yes. This book was written by Wu Ziming using the skin of condemned prisoners and using their blood." After being massaged by Jiang Yuanchen for a while, Bi 'an finally became obedient.

Jiang Yuanchen flipped through the human skin book. There were a total of 100 pages in the book, explaining 100 types of death sentences. On the front of each page, the execution process was explained, and on the back was a drawing of the actual execution.

When he flipped to the third page, Jiang Yuanchen pointed at the drawing of decapitation and activated his mana. A stench suddenly came out of the book. Then, a pitch-black head rolled out of the book and landed beside Second Young Master Lin.

"Ah!" After the shock, Second Young Master Lin quickly jumped away and hid at the door of the study.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Yuanchen apologized and stared at the head on the ground. The head's hair was fluffy, and only the whites of the eyes were visible. Looking at Jiang Yuanchen just like that, Jiang Yuanchen felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's not just the skin of ordinary prisoners on death row. These human skins definitely correspond to the prisoners who were executed on death row. After they experienced this kind of punishment, their skin was peeled off and all of their Psyche Power was completely stored in this human skin before they died." Jiang Yuanchen's expression didn't look good. He lightly patted the human skin book, and the head turned into smoke and flew back into the "decapitation" page.

Jiang Yuanchen said to Lin Yuanzhao with a serious expression, "Sir, this item has gathered the resentment of many condemned prisoners, and a book spirit was born from it. We definitely can't keep it here."

"Just take it away, Daoist!" Lin Yuanzhao looked at Second Young Master Lin, then quickly waved his hand and gave the item to Jiang Yuanchen.

"We mortals can't bear this."
