Chapter 640 - 634: Hidden Dangers Resolved, the Yin Celestial Son’s Methods
"Do you mean to lend the Mirror of Evil to the Peacock Great Ming King?" Lin Yuan asked the Yin Celestial Son.
Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the Yin Celestial Son quickly shook his head, "That’s not what I mean. The Mirror of Evil is an item that maintains the operation of the Underworld, and it cannot be taken out of the Underworld."
"I will leave a mark using the Mirror of Evil inside the Peacock Great Ming King, and then teach him the supreme Karmic Fire Heart Sutra."
"At that time, the Peacock Great Ming King can control the Karmic Fire with the Mirror of Evil’s mark and Heart Sutra. When the Karmic Fire manifests, it can burn away all prying thoughts."
After the Yin Celestial Son finished speaking, the Peacock Great Ming King cupped his hands in gratitude and said, "In that case, many thanks to the Yin Celestial Son for his assistance."
"Don’t be so quick to thank!"
"This matter is not easy to handle!"
"If they try to probe your inner thoughts, and you burn their thoughts with Karmic Fire, wouldn’t that clearly indicate that you have something to hide?" Lin Yuan voiced his concern.
The Yin Celestial Son paused, pondering, "Aside from this, I don’t have a better solution."
"The gap in power between the Peacock Great Ming King and Wa Huang is too great. If you want to stop Wa Huang from prying into his mind forcibly, there are still some ways."
"But creating a false mental illusion to deceive Wa Huang is difficult."
Forcing Wa Huang to stop probing is less challenging.
Creating a mental illusion to deceive Wa Huang is too difficult.
If the Peacock Great Ming King were replaced with the Yin Celestial Son, who is at the same level as Wa Huang, the Yin Celestial Son could do it.
But the disparity in strength between the Peacock Great Ming King and Wa Huang is vast, and this matter is difficult for the Peacock Great Ming King to accomplish.
Just as Lin Yuan and the Yin Celestial Son were troubled over this matter, the Peacock Great Ming King, after pondering for a while, spoke up: "This matter is not entirely impossible to resolve."
"I can say that by fortunate chance, I obtained the Ancient Divine Phoenix’s Nirvana Flame. This flame resides within me, and I cannot control it."
"If any unusual energy enters my body, it will be expelled by the Ancient Divine Phoenix’s Nirvana Flame."
After the Peacock Great Ming King finished speaking, everyone fell into silence, considering the feasibility of this matter.
In any case, the Peacock Great Ming King’s excuse seems somewhat far-fetched.
After thinking it over carefully, Lin Yuan felt that the Peacock Great Ming King’s excuse was plausible.
The Peacock Great Ming King is a crucial piece for Wa Huang.
Unless there is solid evidence proving that the Peacock Great Ming King is scheming against Wa Huang, this piece must continue to be used.
After all, the Peacock Great Ming King, as a piece, is irreplaceable for Wa Huang.
"In that case, there is no time to lose, Daoist friend, please proceed!" Lin Yuan said to the Yin Celestial Son.
The Yin Celestial Son did not delay and formed a seal technique, striking the Mirror of Evil.
In the next moment, the stone mirror emitted bursts of light.
The light flashed, condensed continuously, and finally dimmed.
As the dim light gathered, a small energy-formed Mirror of Evil appeared, then merged into the Peacock Great Ming King’s body.
This small energy-formed Mirror of Evil is exactly what the Yin Celestial Son referred to as the Mirror of Evil mark.
As the Mirror of Evil mark entered his body, the Peacock Great Ming King did not show any obvious reactions.
This is because the Mirror of Evil mark needs to be used in conjunction with the supreme Karmic Fire Heart Sutra to trigger the Karmic Fire.
After placing the Mirror of Evil mark in the Peacock Great Ming King’s body,
the Yin Celestial Son slowly spoke, "Peacock Great Ming King, I will teach you the supreme Karmic Fire Heart Sutra, remember it well..."
After reciting the supreme Karmic Fire Heart Sutra once, the Yin Celestial Son asked the Peacock Great Ming King, "Peacock Great Ming King, have you memorized it?"
"Remembered!" The Peacock Great Ming King responded.
The content of the supreme Karmic Fire Heart Sutra was not much, only about two or three hundred words in total.
With the Peacock Great Ming King’s understanding, he remembered all of it after just one hearing.
The Yin Celestial Son nodded and advised, "There is no need to recite it aloud, just silently chant it in your heart, and you can connect with the Karmic Fire in your mind."
"You can give it a try."
After listening to the Yin Celestial Son’s words, the Peacock Great Ming King silently recited the supreme Karmic Fire Heart Sutra in his heart.
The Mirror of Evil mark in his body spewed out Karmic Fire, and when he stopped reciting the Heart Sutra, the mirror stopped spewing Karmic Fire.
"This method is indeed effective, I must thank you, Daoist friend!" The Peacock Great Ming King expressed his gratitude to the Yin Celestial Son.
The Peacock Great Ming King’s main concerns were twofold: one, fearing Wa Huang might pry into his thoughts, and two, fearing Wa Huang might manipulate him against Lin Yuan and others.
Now, his first concern has been resolved.
Only the second concern remains.
This matter doesn’t require the Peacock Great Ming King to speak up, as Lin Yuan would prompt him to.
"Daoist friend, how can we prevent the Peacock Great Ming King from being controlled and manipulated by Wa Huang?" Lin Yuan asked the Yin Celestial Son.
The Yin Celestial Son thought for a moment, then performed a series of spells and incantations.
It was apparent that this magic consumed much more than the previous Mirror of Evil mark summoning.
After casting the spell, a Six Paths Reincarnation Disc formed from energy appeared in the Yin Celestial Son’s hand.
"This is the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, it completes a rotation once a day and a full cycle every six days."
"If you are manipulated and lose your mind, you will wander for six days, and after six days, you will recover." With that, the Yin Celestial Son placed the energy-formed Six Paths Reincarnation Disc on the Peacock Great Ming King’s forehead.
In this way, both of the Peacock Great Ming King’s concerns are now resolved.
"Many thanks, Daoist friend!" The Peacock Great Ming King expressed his gratitude to the Yin Celestial Son.
Lin Yuan also spoke, "Since everything is settled, we’ll take our leave now!"
"There are quite a lot of matters outside to handle!"
Currently, the World Honored has just died, and the outside world is in a state of great renewal.
...
...
Seven days passed in a blink after Lin Yuan and the Peacock Great Ming King left the Underworld.
As the seventh day arrived, so did the appointed time.
East Sea.
Elder Bai’s undersea palace.
"Lin Yuan, Xi Huang is here to take the person!" Elder Bai said to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan nodded, "Let him in."
Since it’s the appointed time, Lin Yuan certainly cannot avoid meeting him.
Moreover, all the necessary preparations are already in place.
It’s also time for Xi Huang to take the person away.
Soon, Elder Bai brought Xi Huang into the palace.
Xi Huang looked around the surroundings, and Lin Yuan and Elder Bai were both wearing somber expressions.
Seeing Lin Yuan and Elder Bai’s expressions, Xi Huang thought to himself, today I will definitely be able to take the person away.
The dejected expressions of Lin Yuan and Elder Bai clearly indicated that they hadn’t resolved the Heavenly Dao Oath on the Peacock Great Ming King.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan, Xi Huang didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "Lin Yuan, the seven-day agreement has arrived."
"Can I take the person away? Please give me a definite answer."
