Wang Lin turned a deaf ear to Sikong You's words. He focused all his attention on the battle and was on his guard.
The majority of Ghost Dao cultivators would rely on their spirit ghosts in actual combat. Many Ghost Dao cultivators would nurture and refine spirit ghosts that were stronger than them in combat.
Normally, spirit ghosts were at the same realm as their masters. Some ghost cultivators' spirit ghosts might even be at a higher realm than their masters. With the special effects of ghost cultivators' secret techniques, cultivators didn't have to worry about their spirit ghosts losing control under normal circumstances as long as the gap wasn't too big.
Sikong You was different. He was at the second tier of the Primordial Spirit Realm, but his two strongest spirit ghosts were only at the first tier of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Although their magic power and divine powers were extraordinary, they seemed a little inferior when paired with Sikong You, a great ghost cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Realm.
After observing, Wang Lin was sure that Sikong You had established his cultivation foundation with ghost dao techniques. He didn't first cultivate other dao techniques before switching to ghost dao.
Under such circumstances, it was very abnormal for spirit ghosts to be at a lower level than their masters.
This abnormal situation aroused Wang Lin's vigilance. Just as he was thinking, a blurry ghostly figure suddenly fell toward him.
Wang Lin frowned slightly. The Yellow Springs True Water turned into the River of Forgetfulness and blocked in front of him. The blurry ghost shadow fell into the dim yellow Yellow Springs True Water, but it wasn't purified. Instead, it swayed slightly and followed Wang Lin's magic power and divine sense back to his body.
This ghost shadow didn't have any attack power, and it didn't cause any harm to Wang Lin.
But suddenly, images appeared in front of Wang Lin. The images flashed quickly and finally stopped.
This was a scene that didn't exist in Wang Lin's memory. But after seeing it, he was shocked.
The background of the scene couldn't be more familiar to Wang Lin. Although it was very long ago, he could still tell at a glance that it was the hometown that he had lived in for more than ten years when he was young, the small mountain village.
At this moment, in the small mountain village, corpses were strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like a river. One by one, the villagers that he was familiar with in the past, the people of the same clan, had all turned into ice-cold corpses. In the former residence that Wang Lin had lived in since he was young, his parents were also lying in a pool of blood, their bodies no longer warm.
Wang Lin harrumphed coldly and calmed his mind. Sikong You's voice resounded from the void, "So this is the fear in the depths of your heart?"
"Tsk tsk, you've already brought your family to Yujing Mountain, so it won't be easy for all of this to come true. However, even on Yujing Mountain, it's not completely foolproof. You have to be careful. One day, when you return home, you might see this scene."
Wang Lin stared at the dark void and said, "So that's how it is. Zhang Lie's state of mind completely collapsed back then and his personality became distorted. I'm afraid you played a part in that."
After a moment of silence, Sikong You sighed and said, "People say that Wang Lin, the third disciple of the Daoist Gate of Wonders, is cold, bloodthirsty, and a man of few words. I didn't expect him to be so quick-witted."
"That's right. Back then, when I met him, he was only a cultivator in the Golden Elixir Period. I casually planted a Frightening Ghost Curse on him. I didn't expect him to have such achievements in the future."
The Frightening Ghost Curse was the ghostly shadow that Sikong You had released earlier. It was a supernatural technique of the Ghost Dao that he had created. It was mysterious and unfathomable, and it did not have any offensive power. However, apart from a few special circumstances, it was difficult for ordinary people to prevent the Frightening Ghost Curse from entering their bodies. Those with lower cultivation might not even notice it.
The Frightening Ghost Curse was rooted in the depths of a person's soul. It dug out the deepest fear in the heart of the person implanted, and then magnified the fear continuously, growing exponentially.
During this process, the Frightening Ghost Curse would also grow stronger due to the increasing fear of the person implanted. When Sikong You was satisfied, he would only need to think about it, and the Frightening Ghost Curse would return to his body.
Only cultivators who had comprehended the Dao of Heaven and Earth would have the fear in their hearts strengthen the Frightening Ghost Curse.
A large number of Frightening Ghost Curses returned to Sikong You and were collected. Sikong You then used this to cultivate his own dao technique, causing his dao technique realm to increase. Back then, Sikong You had relied on the fusion of thousands of Frightening Ghost Curses to perfect his own dao technique. In the end, he had condensed the dharma body of the Void Realm and reached the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Usually, after the Frightening Ghost Curse had completely strengthened, it would completely fuse with the cultivator's soul. Once Sikong You removed the Frightening Ghost Curse, the person implanted would have their soul shattered and die.
After so many years, Sikong You had rarely made a mistake when implanting the Frightening Ghost Curse. The biggest miscalculation was Zhang Lie.
Back then, the Frightening Ghost Curse in Zhang Lie's soul rapidly strengthened, attracting Sikong You's attention. After Zhang Lie massacred the people of the Society of the Strong Gale, he was taken away by Sikong You to continue guiding the fear in Zhang Lie's heart in an attempt to strengthen the Frightening Ghost Curse in Zhang Lie's body to an unprecedented level.
During that period of time, Zhang Lie also became half a disciple of Sikong You. Sikong You was the one who imparted the Ghost Control Technique and the Poison Technique to Zhang Lie.
Who knew that Zhang Lie would have a fortuitous encounter in the Void Battlefield and be trapped in a place that was isolated from the world. In that area, Sikong You's connection with the Frightening Ghost Curse was severed, and Zhang Lie discovered the secret in his soul.
In that place, Zhang Lie painstakingly cultivated and finally got rid of the fear in his heart. He also got rid of the Frightening Ghost Curse, and because of that, he reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.
After Zhang Lie returned from the Void Battlefield, he was quickly registered in the Underworld Hall. At that time, Sikong You had matters to attend to outside. By the time he returned to the King Of The Underworld Realm, Zhang Lie had already become one of the Ten Yama Kings, the new King Qin Guang.
"Fear is the strongest power in this world. Mortals can't avoid it, and it's the same for us cultivators." Sikong You's hands did not stop. He commanded the malicious ghosts to surround Wang Lin. At the same time, he attacked Wang Lin with Dharma spells one after another. At the same time, he was constantly planting the seeds of fear in Wang Lin's heart.
"Between life and death, there is great terror. The fear of death is common to all sentient beings. In order to resist death, I have been cultivating non-stop, fighting against the heavens."
"A few hundred years is too little. Death of old age is just around the corner. Therefore, I have been trying my best to form the Core Formation and increase my lifespan by a thousand years."
"A few thousand years is too little. A thousand years will pass in the blink of an eye. Therefore, I have been risking my life to charge through the Yin Fire Tribulation, the Yin Wind Tribulation, and the Void Thunder Tribulation. I want to form the Yuanying Tribulation and live for sixty years."
"A lifespan of 3,600 years is still too little. Therefore, I want to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm and live as long as the heavens."
"I am afraid of being killed by others. Therefore, I have been honing my divine abilities and Dharma spells. I have been refining Dharma weapons and Dharma treasures."
"Live as long as the heavens, but there is still the Nirvana of Heaven and Earth. Even the heavens have to die, let alone humans. Therefore, in order to continue cultivating, I have to pass through the Three Tribulations of Creation, I have to continue refining Dharma Treasures of Creation, I have to cross the Sea of Bitterness, I have to survive even if the heavens and earth perish. "
"Fear is our greatest motivation to move forward. It is the strongest power in this world. At the same time, it is also the source of our greatest distress." Sikong You's voice sounded like thousands of ghosts wailing in hell. "Oh Wang Lin, have you felt the profoundness of fear?"
Wang Lin was expressionless. He snorted coldly. The Ancient and Present World divine ability activated above his head. The door opened and time in Wang Lin's body seemed to flow backward.
The dim ghost shadow that had fused with his soul suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Sikong You sighed. "Oh Wang Lin, your understanding of Dao is still too shallow."
His Frightening Ghost Curse was special. Rather than saying it was a divine ability, it was more like a seed of will. It was in between reality and illusion. Even the Yellow Springs True Water was fooled by it.
However, because it did not contain any magic power, Sikong You was unable to help Wang Lin defend against the Ancient and Present World divine ability. He could only watch as the ghost curse was removed by Wang Lin.
"I wanted to refine you into an old ghost curse user. However, since this is the case, I might as well not keep you alive."
Sikong You's figure appeared in the dark void. He extended his right hand into mid-air and a greyish chaotic death aura appeared. It was as viscous as a large amount of ink. Within it, thousands of ghosts struggled and wailed and merged with the black fog.
After the two merged, they turned into a white cyclone. The white cyclone turned into a huge door in the void.
The divine ability of the King Of The Underworld's orthodoxy, the Underworld God's Gate.
Then, tens of thousands of white arrows shot out from the Gate of the Underworld God, turning into an earth-shattering rain of arrows that shot towards Wang Lin. The entire area was covered by the white arrows, and even the void was pierced as if it was filled with sieves.
Underworld God's Enshrouded Baleful Arrow!
Thousand Ghosts Throwing Arrow!
Not only did the number of arrows far exceed the previous thousand ghosts throwing arrow, but even the arrows were more powerful than the Baleful Yin Ghost Arrow, the Underworld God's Enshrouded Baleful Arrow!
Wang Lin's eyes flickered and he patted the Profound Sky God Sealing Flag. The former King Qin Guang and the two emissaries of the Underworld Hall stood in front of him. The three of them spewed out a large amount of chaotic death aura. Layers of grey fog enveloped them and Wang Lin, protecting them in the middle. Then, it gradually turned into a giant oval egg.
The Nether Sea Barrier was a powerful defensive divine ability passed down by the King Of The Underworld's orthodoxy. The Nether Sea, one of the Seven Seas of Heaven Origin, did not have a stable realm passage connecting it to the Vast Thousand Worlds. Although there were occasional cracks in the barrier, it was generally very sturdy. It could withstand the thousands of terrifying disasters in the Nether Sea without leaking out. The Nether Sea Barrier was a defensive technique created by the ancient King Of The Underworld after he was inspired by the barrier of the Nether Sea.
This technique required at least three people to use at the same time. Although it could not move and its casting speed was slow, its defense was very strong. Back in the Mystic Heaven Realm, the few emissaries of the Underworld Hall and the former King Qin Guang were cut off from the outside world. It was hopeless for them to wait for reinforcements. Therefore, they only wanted to escape and break out of the encirclement. Now, under Wang Lin's command, they worked together to create the Nether Sea Barrier.
The berserk white Qi arrow landed heavily on the Dark Sea Barrier, causing the Dark Sea Barrier to shake violently.
The surface of the giant oval barrier was densely packed with holes like a beehive. However, it was still holding on. It was not penetrated, nor did it shatter.
Sikong You waved his hand. The two ghostly deities beside him and the many malicious ghosts in the Thousand Ghosts Parade Formation pounced on the Nether Sea Barrier. All kinds of ferocious ghost spells rained down on the Nether Sea Barrier.
For a moment, the Nether Sea Barrier felt like it was on the brink of collapse.
At this moment, a dot of light suddenly flashed in the pitch-black sky that was enveloped by the Thousand Ghosts Parade Formation.
It was the sharp light at the tip of a greenish-black halberd. This dot of light pierced through the layers of darkness and crushed the bodies of countless malicious ghosts. Everything in its path was destroyed. It instantly arrived in front of Sikong You and pointed at his forehead!
At this moment, endless green flames lit up wherever the greenish-black halberd passed. It lit up half of the pitch-black space in the Thousand Ghosts Parade Formation. It was a patch of green under the night sky.
It was as if the endless power of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva True Brilliance was gathered on this spear, forming a terrifying destructive power that could shatter the heavens and earth.
Zhang Lie's strongest martial path mystic technique, the Grand Divine Brilliance Spear!
The green flames illuminated Sikong You's face. It also allowed him to see the Army Vanquishing Monarch Halberd held firmly in two hands. He saw Zhang Lie's smiling face in front of him. "Master You, do you feel the wonderful taste of fear now?"
