Chapter 645 - 639: Revealing the Answer
Since we can quickly find the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor, it’s undoubtedly the best outcome.
"This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later. It’s best to find him quickly before the Daoist Ancestor’s reincarnation causes any trouble!"
"Please, fellow Daoist, assist us!" Lin Yuan bowed towards Yin Celestial Son and said.
Without hesitation, Yin Celestial Son reached out his hand, and a simple, ancient book appeared in his grasp.
People usually describe books as being white paper with black text.
However, this book was completely opposite, being black paper with white text.
On the cover of the book, there were three mysterious ancient characters.
Even though he couldn’t understand them, Lin Yuan recognized them.
The meaning of those three characters was "Book of Life and Death."
"This is the Book of Life and Death!"
"But, how are we supposed to check it?"
"If we go through each name one by one, wouldn’t it take until doomsday?"
"Besides, with people being born and dying every day, how can we possibly cross-reference?" Lin Yuan voiced his doubts.
Now, with the Evil Corpse Yin Celestial Son in charge of the Book of Life and Death, the specific method of operation was for Yin Celestial Son to decide.
After listening to Lin Yuan’s questions, Yin Celestial Son smiled slightly and explained, "There’s no need for such tediousness."
"In a moment, I will activate the Book of Life and Death, allowing its power to illuminate outward."
"At that time, black and white light will appear above the heads of those whose names are on the Book of Life and Death."
"Then, I will use my Divine Sense to scan the world, and those without the black and white light above their heads will be the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor."
As a Tier One, with the assistance of a treasure like the Book of Life and Death, finding the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor was much simpler for Yin Celestial Son than Lin Yuan had imagined!
"In that case, please proceed, fellow Daoist!" Lin Yuan bowed again towards Yin Celestial Son.
Yin Celestial Son formed a hand seal and chanted incantations, causing the Book of Life and Death to slowly float in front of him.
"Swish."
"Swish, swish."
The Book of Life and Death began to turn pages, one after another, with no wind.
Through the gap between the pages, Lin Yuan saw names flash before his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Yuan’s heart inexplicably trembled.
Soon, the Book of Life and Death reached its final page and slowly closed.
Once closed, the pages emitted a black and white glow.
Simultaneously, a black and white light appeared above the heads of everyone in both the Mysterious World and the Real World.
...
...
Mysterious World.
East Sea.
"This black light and white light, what’s going on?"
"I’ve tried, it can’t be dispelled!"
"Could it be those Four Great Primordial Spirits causing trouble again?"
"What exactly is this black and white light? I don’t feel anything unusual at all!"
...
...
Inside the grand hall, the members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance were in an uproar.
They looked at the black and white light above each other’s heads, baffled and worried that the Four Great Primordial Spirits were plotting against them once more.
"Silence!"
"Stop making noise!" Elder Bai’s voice resonated through the hall.
At this moment, Elder Bai and Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder entered from outside.
Seeing the black and white light above Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s heads, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Elder Bai, what’s the deal with the black and white light above our heads?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Elder Bai.
Elder Bai glanced at everyone and said, "It’s likely that young fellow Lin Yuan is behind this, he’s searching for a traitor."
"Since everyone has this black and white light above their heads, it means there’s no problem. Don’t panic, it’s nothing major."
Hearing Elder Bai’s words, everyone relaxed.
Having the black and white light above their heads meant there was no problem.
In fact, having the black and white light was a good thing.
Now, it was those without the black and white light who started to panic.
Meanwhile, the outside world was also in turmoil.
Be it demons, ghosts, or spirits.
Essentially, all beings in the world had black and white light above their heads.
Initially, everyone was anxious, but gradually, as they realized everyone had it and were unaffected, they calmed down.
...
...
After projecting the black and white light from the Book of Life and Death, Yin Celestial Son said to Lin Yuan, "Fellow Daoist, the light from the Book of Life and Death has been projected outward. Allow me to see where the Daoist Ancestor’s reincarnation is hiding."
With that, Yin Celestial Son began to check individually.
Lin Yuan was also curious to know who the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor was.
He, too, began to probe the outside world with his Divine Sense.
Yin Celestial Son’s strength far surpassed Lin Yuan’s; the speed at which a Tier One Powerhouse investigated was unmatched by someone like Lin Yuan, a Tier Two.
In just around ten minutes, Yin Celestial Son had thoroughly checked the Mysterious World.
"Fellow Daoist, the beings in the Mysterious World all have the light emitted by the Book of Life and Death above their heads."
"It seems the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor should be in your world," Yin Celestial Son said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned.
When Yin Celestial Son presented the Book of Life and Death, his heart had inexplicably trembled.
Could this be some kind of emotional intuition?
Or was the reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor someone he knew?
Yang Dingguo, Zhang Zhen, or perhaps Yang Jing...
Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of the man who ran a dog meat restaurant in Peng City.
He neither competed nor vied, simply protecting those important to him.
He not only refrained from competing but also, no one had ever seen him cultivating.
Yet, even without cultivation, his strength continued to grow rapidly.
Other Life Pattern Masters had to hunt Evil Spirits, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to enhance their strength.
In terms of speed of strength growth, Yang Jing’s strength increased just as fast as his younger sister-in-law’s.
Remember, his younger sister-in-law inherited the legacy of the first Rebirth Saint Mother!
Moreover, his younger sister-in-law had been diligently practicing, whereas Yang Jing had focused on managing his dog meat restaurant.
One didn’t cultivate, while the other worked hard, yet their strength levels were almost identical.
The key point was that the diligent one received a top-tier legacy.
What does this indicate? It indicates that the one not cultivating must have an even more formidable legacy than the diligent one.
"Yang Jing, oh Yang Jing!"
"Is it really you?"
"I really don’t wish for it to be you!"
"If it truly is you, then I would have no choice but to..." At this point, Lin Yuan’s expression grew increasingly grim.
Is it truly Yang Jing?
From a personal standpoint, he sincerely hoped the Daoist Ancestor’s reincarnation was not Yang Jing.
He had immense respect for Yang Jing’s character.
"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, what are you thinking?"
"Are we going to investigate your world or not?" Yin Celestial Son asked.
As Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse, Yin Celestial Son naturally understood the significance of the Real World to him.
Thus, before checking the Real World, Yin Celestial Son sought Lin Yuan’s consent.
"I already have an answer in my heart!"
"Let me check first if it’s truly him!" Lin Yuan said with a heavy tone.
