Chapter 668 - 668 Blow Out the Candles (2)
668 Blow Out the Candles (2)
“Everyone, be careful. Don’t blow too many at once.”
This was not just the obsession of thousands of mortals. Every flame condensed the obsession of at least a thousand mortals.
Blowing out the candle flame meant that the person blowing the fire was willing to accept this obsession.
These wills and obsessions would rush into the fire blower’s consciousness.
It was fine if there were hundreds or thousands of them.
However, if there were too many, only a true immortal could withstand them.
Fortunately, not too many were extinguished this time. Daoist Jinghuang had already condensed the three flowers on his head, so he could only pay a small price to endure it.
Otherwise, the power of faith in the thousands of candles was enough to pollute the minds of ordinary Earth Immortal cultivators.
At best, his Essence Soul would be dyed, and his cultivation would be unable to advance further.
If one’s mental cultivation was insufficient, it was not impossible for them to become crazy for the rest of their lives.
After condensing the three flowers, his essence, qi, and spirit were complete and able to resist this pollution.
Of course, although he resisted, he would still be affected.
Just a few thousand candles could affect them. It was obvious that they could not withstand the remaining countless flames.
They had to use other more reliable methods.
Fortunately, at the Earth Immortal realm, one could easily live for thousands of years.
Under the circumstances that it was difficult for their cultivation to advance further, their long lives forced everyone to become multi-talented experts.
They basically knew a little of all kinds of Five Elements escape techniques, Feng Shui Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Constellation techniques, and Mystic Gate special techniques.
Therefore, everyone quickly thought of a solution.
Jiang Li reached out and picked up a candle. It was as heavy as a huge rock in his hand.
Then, he took out a ghost soldier from the coffin.
The ghost soldier opened its mouth and spat out a gust of cold wind. The candle in its hand flickered a few times before extinguishing. The boulder-like weight instantly returned to the level of an ordinary candle.
What was really heavy was the candle flame, not the candle.
After the candle flame was extinguished, the same smoke rose.
However, the smoke did not drift towards Jiang Li, and it completely entered the ghost soldier’s body.
As expected, this was feasible.
If their main body was afraid of being affected, they could not blow the candle themselves. They could completely control the puppets or use other living or dead things to achieve their goal.
In any case, he could use puppets to blow out the candles.
He looked at the lake-sized brazier in front of him.
Everyone used their own methods to summon various types of helpers.
If he wanted the puppets to withstand the impact of the will and obsession, the minimum condition was that they had to be high-level puppets with souls inside.
As a large number of puppets were released, they began to control them to blow out the flames.
However, the souls of puppets could never compare to Earth Immortals.
Every time he blew out dozens or even hundreds of candles, a puppet would completely collapse.
Some of their souls shattered and their souls dissipated. Some actually turned around crazily to attack their masters.
This made the seemingly simple blowing of the candle expend a lot of energy.
They could only blow out as many candles as possible to increase the efficiency of using the puppets.
A few of them were not good at this. After exhausting the puppets and some beast pets in their hands, they even thought of returning to the bottom of the pillar to capture more City Gods and temporarily turn them into puppets.
On the other hand, Jiang Li took out a small statue that was half Buddha and half Demon.
With a shake of his hand, the statue transformed into Jiang Li’s statue clone in the air.
Among his many clones, which parallel mind was the most resistant to filth and could withstand the most mental trash?
That must be his Divine Statue clone.
The soul essence of the Divine Statue clone had almost been born in the “trash pile” from the beginning.
The Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, the countless power of faith left behind over thousands of years, and the crazy will obtained from the Asura World.
The two extremely vile soul pollution collided with each other, finally giving birth to Ananda, the Divine Statue clone who could control the power of two worlds at the same time.
The Divine Statue clone looked at the sea of fire in front of him and spat out violent winds from afar.
The candles in front of him were blown out in large numbers. After the flames were extinguished, the wisps of white smoke naturally floated towards the statue clone.
It could not easily penetrate the golden body.
This power of faith was almost identical to the remaining power of faith in the Goddess of Mercy’s statue. After all, mortals usually asked for the same few things.
Some of them requested good weather, while others requested a bumper harvest next year.
Some requested to make a fortune, while others wanted to succeed in scholar examinations.
There were also matters like seeking marriage, removing illnesses, avoiding war, and human calamity. In the eyes of important figures, they were all trivial matters.
However, these trivial matters would affect a mortal’s life.
These implications transformed into flames that shone out and landed on Jiang Li and the others. They suppressed their cultivation and the heavy pressure they felt earlier.
It could be seen that all suffering was in the mortal world.
Even an Earth Immortal could not withstand the pressure of countless citizens.
After the willpower invaded the statue clone, it collided with the crazy will from the Asura World with ease.
Not long after, two streaks of blood tears flowed out from the eyes of the Divine Statue clone. Jiang Li quickly caught them.
Ananda’s blood tears were rare.
Seeing that the soul impurities could not affect him, the Divine Statue clone no longer held back and blew the candles non-stop.
With the help of the Divine Statue clone, Jiang Li’s efficiency alone practically surpassed the other twelve experts.
They blew out the surrounding candles like wheat.
Inside the City God’s Hall, a group of experts was working hard to blow out the candles.
After removing the spatial suppression, they would break out of the hall together.
In the outside world, on the Back Yin Mountain Peak.
Jiang Li’s two Nine Nether Wood finally woke up at this moment.
Two balls of heavenly tribulation wind were blowing around the two huge trees.
However, not only did this wind not cause any harm, but under the wind of the heavenly tribulation, the Nine Nether Wood grew larger and larger.
After the wind tribulation stopped, the two huge trees became ten times larger than before.
If one did not use a distant technique, he would probably not be able to see the top of the tree.
It was worth noting that there were originally only two tree hearts on the two Nine Nether Wood trees. At this moment, a third one finally grew.
Although the third tree heart was still very weak, the two Nine Nether Wood had finally evolved to a complete state.
In the birthplace of the Nine Nether Wood, the two clones had already successfully broken through to the Demon King realm equivalent to an Earth Immortal cultivator.
As Demon Kings formed from the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, they were especially powerful.
Jiang Li was overjoyed when he sensed that his clones had woken up.
He hurriedly controlled the roots to spread as if there was no limit.
The Back Yin Mountain was to the Nine Nether Wood, just like the sea was to the flood dragon. There were no restrictions here, and their strength would be greatly increased.
As long as he was willing, it was not difficult for them to cover the entire Back Yin Mountain with roots.
It did not take long for the wave formed by countless roots to cross the boundary of the Back Yin Mountain’s domain. It wrapped around the hall floating at the edge of the domain with unstoppable momentum.
This huge commotion immediately attracted the attention of more than ten Earth Immortals outside the City God’s Hall.
A sea of blood was released again, colliding with the surging roots.
In addition, eleven Earth Immortals from the Blood King Palace attacked at the same time, temporarily blocking the crazy roots.
It turned out that the moment the people from the Divine Judgment Hall were sucked in, more than ten Earth Immortals led by Dao Master Vast Sea were spat out.
This was to guard against possible enemies from the outside world.
Now that the experts of the Divine Judgment Hall were almost all captured, this force should be very stable.
However, the battlefield was on the ground of the Back Yin Mountain!
Wherever the Nine Nether roots went, the terrifying Inverted Domain spread over.
Not far away, another Gate of Hell rose from the ground.
Qin Shuman, Sword Head Pei Zhong, and the former Seven Nether Mountain Demons walked out.
Without a word, they joined the siege of the remaining dozen Earth Immortals.
In terms of numbers, the two sides were similar, but in terms of location, Fengdu City had the absolute advantage.
Under the enhancement of the Back Yin Mountain, the two Nine Nether Wood and the Seven Nether Mountain Demons were practically invincible among those of the same level.
