Chapter 229 Qianhuicheng, the Lord of Yixie Palace
[The Onmyoji will keep pace with you, exchanging spells with you while rushing...]
[It is very envious of your girl shikigami with its back and wings. Such a powerful shikigami is beyond the comparison of ordinary evil ghosts and monsters. 】
[You take the opportunity to ask Onmyoji about the techniques related to subduing shikigami...]
[It turns out that there are two kinds of shikigami driven by Onmyoji, one is the 'evil ghost', and the other is the monster who is the 'remnant of the evil spirit'. 】
[It is not as easy as imagined to conquer and drive both shikigami...]
[The conditions for the birth of ‘evil ghosts’ are harsh, so the number in the world is extremely rare. The longer an evil ghost exists in the world to commit evil, the more powerful it becomes. 】
[It is difficult for an ordinary Onmyoji to encounter an evil ghost. Even if he encounters one, it is a powerful evil ghost that has existed for thousands of years. He is simply unable to defeat it, let alone help him fulfill his wish in life and become a shikigami.
】
[Some onmyojis have evil thoughts from this, and artificially create "evil ghosts" with cruel and dehumanizing methods. However, the new "evil ghosts" are often weak and of little effect. That is, some onmyojis in the wild will use this method.
.]
【In comparison, it is relatively easy to conquer monsters.】
[As long as you defeat it and use a 'countermeasure' that matches its strength to suppress it, it's just that good countermeasures are hard to come by, and this method also has flaws. ]
[Youkai are all remnants of evil spirits who believe in evil gods. Naturally, they do not want to be human shikigami. After being conquered, they must erase their minds before they can be used by them. 】
[A monster without consciousness is like a marionette, completely controlled by the Onmyoji. The strength it exerts in battle is greatly weakened. The ability to exert half of its true body's strength is already considered to be the manipulation technique of the Onmyoji...]
"It seems that it is unrealistic to want to be the kind of summoner who can summon an army of monsters with a wave of his hand..."
While rushing on the road, I exchanged techniques with the Onmyoji. Time flew by.
From its mouth, Lin Xun also understood the professional characteristics of Onmyoji.
Compared with traditional wizards, Onmyoji has limited output methods and lacks powerful damage skills.
Onmyoji mainly uses the attack method of summoning shikigami and the defense method of releasing barriers, supplemented by the various bonuses of talismans to fight.
"Whether it's a shikigami, a barrier, or a boosting talisman, I'm very interested in it. I just happened to go to Yixie Palace to get a high-level Onmyoji body to try out the power of the new profession."
Lin Xun took the time to open the inventory and check the loot dropped by the BOSS.
The challenge of Asura BOSS is extremely difficult, and the items exploded are also extraordinary.
The first thing is a special spirituality that I haven't seen in a long time.
['Asura's special spirituality' (special spiritual props): Using this prop, you can get 300,000 points of spirituality. You can also add this spirituality when forging body equipment (including strengthening, enchanting and other processes), and there is a certain probability that the awakening effect will occur.
,Generate related additional attributes.]
There is also a 'Special Spirituality of the Children of the Stars' in the inventory, but the quality of that special spirituality is too high, and the probability of awakening for use with ordinary weapons is too low.
It is estimated that the materials dropped by the Children of the Stars must be used to build equipment to perfectly adapt to the special spirituality.
Go back to the library and check the compatibility rate of the existing equipment with 'Asura's special spirituality'. If the probability of awakening is high, use it directly. If the probability is not high...it happens that Asura also revealed a piece of material.
['Asura's Rosary' (Material): A string of rosary beads hung around the neck of Asura. The rosary is an item used when praying, singing, chanting mantras or spiritual practice. The material of this rosary is of extremely high quality and value.
Not cheap.]
Asura also revealed a 'complete forging crystal' that can strengthen legendary equipment. Unfortunately, Lin Xun has not yet found a high-quality blacksmith's body...
The remaining two pieces of loot are the highlight.
['Extremely evil core' (special prop): Most of the 'evil thoughts' from the unknown powerful god have been consumed, but have not completely dissipated. The remaining trace of evil thoughts has turned into this pitch-black core. The core is filled with black energy.
, you can feel endless evil thoughts if you look directly at it.】
[Using this prop, you will be able to drive away the evil thoughts remaining in the fruit core, temporarily fuse your summoned creatures or special summoned creatures, allowing them to exert their respective characteristics and show extremely powerful combat power!]
[This item is a consumable and can fuse up to three summoned creatures when used. 】
"Hmm? Isn't Asura formed by the fusion of the palace minister and the god master of Shishan Society?"
Considering that Asura's strength is so abnormal, even if there are not many evil thoughts left in the 'Extremely Evil Core', as long as he can fuse a few powerful summoned beasts, it is equivalent to summoning a powerful BOSS to fight for him.
He began to study the rules for using props.
After some testing, I discovered that the summoned beast needs to be summoned to use this item.
And I don’t know if it’s because the Valkyrie is made of fine copper, so this prop cannot be used on the Valkyrie.
In other words, unless he can summon two summons other than the Valkyrie at the same time, this powerful item will be useless.
"It seems that we must seize the body of Onmyoji and obtain more shikigami..."
There is only one last piece of loot left, which is an extremely precious legendary item.
['Transformed Sumeru Mustard Seed' (Legendary Item): A tiny mustard seed is the dry mature seed of white mustard. The tiny mustard seed is contaminated with the power of the inexplicable god, allowing this seed to transform into the legendary towering
The sacred mountain 'Xumi'.]
【This prop has two functions.】
[First, by carrying this prop, you can transform the weapon used by the body into a size suitable for the body according to the size of the body. 】
[Second, adding this prop during the forging process will have a certain probability of improving the quality of the weapon, up to the legendary level. 】
"Hiss...this prop is awesome."
The size of the weapon can be changed by itself when the prop is in the carrying state. The earth giant and dragon man are limited by the enlargement caused by the transformation, and can only customize their own weapons.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With this prop, the standard weapons usually obtained in the game can also be used in the transformed state.
Let’s not talk about it remotely, but let’s talk about the newly acquired epic weapon ‘Tachi Uzuki Onikiri’, which the earth giant can use without any problems in normal times.
But in the enlarged state, this sharp weapon becomes a tiny toothpick...
The first effect can also be effective on other apostles, but transformation skills are extremely rare and quite precious.
Lin Xun has seen all kinds of bad output and defense skill books in the library, but he has never seen a transformation skill book so far.
Not to mention that this legendary item can be forged to improve the quality of the weapon.
The only limitation may be that the two effects of this prop can only be effective on weapons, not armor.
Time passed unconsciously, and the group of people rode horses slowly until they arrived at Qianhui in Lingcheng in the evening.
[The city in front of us is much more prosperous than 'Fukang', with tall city walls standing tall and numerous warriors guarding the city gates and walls.]
[People coming in and out of the city are bustling and queuing up. People need to pay property tax when entering the city. Depending on the amount of materials they bring, the city entry tax paid is also different. 】
[The ‘High-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire’ leads you forward on horseback, and comes to the front of the team amidst the envious eyes of the people. 】
[The low-level warriors at the gate of the city bowed their heads and saluted. In normal times, your strange appearance with multiple eyes would definitely attract inquiries and make things difficult. If you don’t pay enough spiritual energy, you might even be regarded as a 'remnant of evil spirits'...
】
[However, there are onmyojis representing the forces of the 'Ixie Palace' leading the way. The warriors guarding the city dare not say anything. They even deliberately wrote down your appearance to avoid not recognizing you as a distinguished guest of the 'Ixie Palace' in the future.
unnecessary trouble.】
[‘The high-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire’ takes you into ‘Qianhui City’ and introduces you to the details of this strange city...]
[There are many interesting places in the city, such as the "Faxiang Temple", the only remaining temple in Sakura, and the "Five-story Pagoda" that once worshiped the evil god. 】
[After the divine power of Canggu Tianyan spread to the world, hundreds of temples were torn down, and a shrine dedicated to the true god was built on the old site.]
[And the only preserved ‘Faxiang Temple’ and ‘Five-Storied Pagoda’ have unique functions, which will be known to foreign magicians at a glance. 】
[Others include the large shrine in the city, the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’, and the ‘Tenshukukaku’ where the local daimyo lives...]
[You suddenly heard the news about the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’, and your heart moved. 】
[The long-sought ‘Wuzhi Shrine’ is actually within ‘Qianhui City’! 】
[You asked the ‘Fire Worshiping Onmyoji’ about the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’, claiming that you were in a foreign country and had not prayed in front of the statue of ‘Canggu Tianyan’ for a long time...]
[Onmyoji laughed loudly and explained to you that although the 'Wuzhi Shrine' is very popular, it is still one step away from becoming a big shrine. It is estimated that it will have to wait until next year or the next year before it can be eligible to publicly worship the statue of 'Canggu Tianyan'
...]
[Masters from foreign countries don’t need to worry. On the surface, the shrine cannot publicly worship the statue of the true god, but secretly worshiping the small statue of the god has been banned for many times. Let me tell you secretly that even the 'Ixie Palace' has a 'Canggu Tianyan'
'The statue of the god.]
[It’s just that because the general follows the ancient system in worshiping gods, the act of worshiping incense can only be done in private...]
[When you hear this, you can’t help but frown and ask why the worship and prayer matters in Yingluo are so strictly divided. Wouldn’t it be better to let the divine grace of ‘Canggu Tianyan’ be spread to the world without distinction? 】
[The 'high-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire' shook his head and claimed that in ancient times, as the foreign master said, worship was not divided into shrine classes, and shrines were placed in every house, and small statues of gods were enshrined. 】
[Later, for some reason, the concept of worshiping class came into being. It is a felony to worship idols privately at home. If you want to worship "Canggu Tianyan", you must go to a big shrine or a shrine...]
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.
Reminds me of the true appearance of the statue of "Amasui Sakida".
A kind of inference could not help but arise in my heart that sent chills down my spine. Maybe the real statue of 'Canggu Tianyan' is just like 'Tiansui Sakidao', so it is not allowed to be worshiped by the world...
['The high-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire' sees that you are still obsessed with the 'Wuzhi Shrine', so he readily tells you the specific location of the 'Wuzhi Shrine'...]
[You have learned the specific location of the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’! 】
[It pats its chest and assures that since Master, you are interested in the 'Wuzhi Shrine', you will go to the 'Ixie Palace' for in-depth exchanges. It will serve as your tour guide and take you to visit the city. All the expenses for food, clothing, accommodation and transportation will be paid by 'Ixie Palace'.
The evil palace's responsibility...]
【……】
【Through the lively streets, you come to a small palace.】
[There are many warriors guarding the palace outside. People coming and going have their heads down and are walking in a hurry, not daring to look at the magnificent building. 】
[The 'High-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire' raises his chin and introduces to you with a proud face. This is the real owner of 'Qianhui City', which is the 'Ixie Palace' to which it belongs. 】
[Passing through the tight guards, you enter the palace city, and you see many gorgeous palaces of different sizes standing in the "Ixie Palace". The people coming and going are all onmyojis wearing hunting clothes and black hats. 】
[If you observe these onmyojis carefully, you will find that they are also divided into classes. The different styles of hunting clothes mark the status of the onmyojis. 】
[Onmyoji who come and go are a little surprised to see your multi-eyed appearance, but they don’t seem to have a high status. They glance at you quickly and then look away...]
[The ‘High-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire’ dismounts and leads you forward, passing through layers of buildings, passing several checkpoint guards, and finally reaches the deepest part of the palace city. 】
[The palace in front of you is tall and magnificent, and the entire palace is protected by a golden arched barrier. 】
[The tadpole-like incantations flashing and swimming on the outer wall of this golden barrier are exactly what you are familiar with, ‘Guarding the Absolute Boundary of the Ten Directions’. 】
[Looking through the golden barrier, there are two giant shikigami statues guarding the palace entrance.]
[The statue on the left is a green-faced, fanged, terrifying ‘evil spirit’ shikigami, and the right side is a ‘youkai’ shikigami with black wings on its back, resembling a giant dog.]
['The high-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire' asks the Onmyoji stationed outside the barrier for instructions and explains your identity and purpose in order to meet the Deputy Palace Master...]
[The stationed Onmyoji entered the barrier and entered the palace to report the matter...]
[You can't help but wonder why you are not meeting the highest-status palace master of the Yixie Palace, but the deputy palace master?]
[The Onmyoji saw your confusion and explained that the Palace Master is old and has not been involved in affairs for many years. The deputy Palace Master is now in charge of the power in the palace...]
[The person who went to report the matter did not reply for a long time. Onmyoji was worried that you would be impatient with waiting, so he took the initiative to introduce it to you...]
[The two statues of shikigami at the entrance to the main palace of the ‘Ishagu Shrine’ are of great origin. The evil spirit shikigami on the left is named ‘Rakshasa’, while the yokai shikigami on the right is named ‘Katsutengu’. 】
[Both are very powerful shikigami, and they are the unique shikigami of ‘Ixie Palace’. 】
[If the deputy palace master likes a certain onmyoji with outstanding talent, he will give one of the two shikigami for him to drive. 】
[This time it went to ‘Fukang City’ because the descendants of the deputy palace master’s blood were massacred by the ‘evil remnants’. 】
[If it can catch the monster that deserves death, it will be rewarded with the 'Katsutengu' shikigami. 】
[The deputy palace master placed a curse mark on the 'evil remnant', thinking that he would be able to capture the monster and bring it back to Yixie Palace. 】
[But when it led a group of Onmyoji to arrive at the 'Otaki Mansion', the token used to show the location of the mark showed no hint at all...]
[However, being able to meet mage masters from foreign countries and exchange and learn from each other's techniques is a great achievement, and the deputy palace master will definitely not be stingy with the reward. 】
[The words of the 'high-ranking Onmyoji who worship the fire' remind you in a subtle way, don't hide your magic skills secretly after meeting the deputy palace master. Open and honest communication will definitely yield a lot of benefits...]
[You are very puzzled when you hear this, and ask it, since the "Otaki family" of Ukioka City is the family of the deputy palace master, why can it let a little monster do evil? 】
[Onmyoji sighed. If it were normal times, the little monster would not dare to be so presumptuous. But these days, Ixie Palace is holding a 'Shikigami Ceremony', and a group of powerful onmyojis guarding the 'Otaki Family' are...
Returning to the palace to participate in the Dharma assembly gave this little monster an opportunity...]
[You were about to ask what the 'Shikigami Ceremony' was, but you saw that the person who reported the report had returned, and handed you and the Onmyoji a token full of talismans, signaling to the deputy palace master to summon him...]
[You have obtained the ‘Token of Absolute Realm’ (key)! 】
"This deputy palace owner should be the great-grandmother of 'Otaki Taro', the one who put the curse on me."
"I don't know if the deputy palace master's body is strong enough..."
[You and the Onmyoji hold the token, pass through the "Absolute Boundary Guarding the Ten Directions", and step into the magnificent palace side by side...]
