Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 637: Chapter 195: Planting the Lotus in the Jasper Pool, Li Yuan Replaces the Emperor

"The Great Unity of Yin and Yang will not only bring about more terrifying Ghost Realms and High Grade Meat Fields, but also start the countdown to the end of this world."

"The unity of Yin and Yang, mixing with each other, is the reason all things in heaven and earth can come to life.

But the Great Unity of Yin and Yang is to separate Yin and Yang once again.

The consequences of this are imaginable."

"The existence of the Dragon Vein is to suppress those Great Ghost Realms, keeping them confined to their own paths and unable to cross realms."

"And for these Great Ghost Realms to progress further, they can only devour each other.

Those Little Ghost Realms are of no use to them anymore."

Lü Xuanxian spoke eloquently.

"The Shouyi Evil Ghosts from Lianyi House and the Miracle Beast Garden have developed intelligence, and they have completed an initial fusion ceremony of sorts.

And now... they are about to undergo their final integration."

"Peng Mingyi brings with him the lotus.

The lotus is terrifying; once used, it will bring forth a chaotic city of death.

The defense of the Jade Capital must be incredibly tight.

But at that time, Peng Mingyi will make the lotus bloom in the Jade Capital.

Once the lotus blooms, no matter how strong the defense, it will be torn apart."

"But this isn’t even the lotus itself.

The real lotus will be planted in the Ghost Jade Pool of Lianyi House."

"Planting the lotus in the Jasper Pool, once successful, means the final fusion and the beginning of doom."

"In name, the Three Thousand Ghost Riders are assisting the Emperor, but in truth, they are only escorting the lotus into the Jade Capital.

At that time, these Three Thousand Ghost Riders will guard near Lianyi House, waiting for the two Great Ghost Realms to successfully fuse."

"However... when the lotus is planted in the Jasper Pool, both Peng Mingyi and Zhao Guyue will enter a state where they cannot move.

That moment is the best time to strike.

The Exotic Beasts among the Three Thousand Ghost Riders lose control, and rely solely on the binding formations of the Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers.

But with a bit of strategy, the formation can be broken, allowing interference with their fusion."

"At that moment, killing Peng Mingyi and Zhao Guyue can interrupt the process even if the lotus has entered the Jasper Pool."

"For them, this is an incredibly precise operation that must not go wrong."

"As for the Emperor...

He is just a scapegoat for these Evil Ghosts."

Lü Xuanxian coldly snorted, "He is arrogant and ignorant, knowing full well the dangers the Great Unity of Yin and Yang brings, yet he remains indifferent.

All because it might bring him greater power, greater strength, and even a breakthrough opportunity.

He places himself above all beings and the world, caring naught for their life or death, or the world’s existence.

Everything he has comes from the Dragon Vein.

He thinks the Dragon Vein is only for the protection of the Imperial Court.

But... the Dragon Vein can no longer tolerate him.

I followed him only to understand what they truly intended to do, then wait for a suitable opportunity to catch them all at once."

After speaking, he suddenly took out a small golden vial from his robe, twisted off the cap, and poured out a strand of blood, which he crushed with his hand, allowing the blood to be ripped apart by violent force and vanish without a trace.

Lü Xuanxian laughed, "This is the Fourth Grade Essence Blood left by the Emperor. Essence blood should not be kept in large amounts; he kept three drops, and all three are here.

This time, he is truly dead and won’t be revived."

Evidently, the Emperor was of Fourth Grade; even if Li Yuan killed him and he was a weak Fourth Grade, he could still have been revived over a decade later.

But Lü Xuanxian knew all of the Emperor’s secrets, found the hidden blood he left behind, and destroyed it directly, cutting off any possibility of the Emperor’s resurrection.

This strike patched everything perfectly.

...

Li Yuan silently watched the Grand General before him, thoughts racing like lightning.

The lotus?

He knew a bit about it; the Lotus Sect had always been working on this, but under different guises.

The Jasper Pool?

He also knew a little.

Previously, when he was the Blood Saber Ancestor of Shanbao County, he once captured someone who used "Lianyi Studio’s Rouge."

That person said he entered the Immortal Realm.

He saw the Immortal Realm, with its jasper buildings, drifting clouds, spirit flowers and spirit woods, and fairies soaring.

Sitting above the clouds, there was an immortal on a meditation mat.

Upon reaching the Immortal Mountain, looking back, he saw "The Human World Continent was like smoke and dust, the vast ocean merely a cup of water."

But in truth, it was just an ancient mansion with human head lanterns.

The immortal sitting on the cloud was nothing but a Funeral Robe Evil Ghost sitting under a lantern.

As for the Jasper Pool, it was just a pool of dead water in the mansion, with eerie shadows floating within.

That image left a deep impression on Li Yuan, especially since his subsequent experiences more or less had traces of Lianyi House.

The Incense Worship Sect, human head lanterns lighting the Netherworld, paving the Yellow Springs path, granting living people with wicked deeds, leading them into Ghost Street, then... turning them into ghost coins, a piece of dessert in an Evil Ghost feast.

...

Seeing Li Yuan silent, Lü Xuanxian continued quickly, "Once the Great Unity of Yin and Yang occurs, you and even your family will surely die.

I am not just referring to the living people in that manor, but also... the Ghost Realm ahead of our battlefield.

The Evil Ghost from the general store, it... is your family, right?

It is on Ghost Street of Cloud Mountain Path, also above the Dragon Vein, and the Dragon Vein naturally knows of its existence.

And you... it was only after our fierce battle that I gained a deeper understanding of your abilities and confirmed that you indeed have the qualifications to cooperate with the Dragon Vein.

Because your Transformation Skill can deceive everyone, and your methods are extraordinary."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice, "What exactly are you?"

Lü Xuanxian said, "You have probably seen the Ghost Servants of the Mass Grave, right?

Once those Ghost Servants leave the Ghost Realm, they are no different from living people.
