A flag several feet high was held in Jiang Ziwen's hand. The flag swayed automatically in the absence of wind and turned as dark red as blood. With every sway, a ripple spread out, covering an area of more than ten miles.
Soul-calming flag. This is a magical weapon or a pseudo-immortal weapon that Zhang Yan specially refined for this clearing operation in the ghost domain. It is also the most powerful magic weapon that he can currently refine by himself. Now used in ghost areas, the effect looks pretty good.
Jiang Ziwen was high-spirited, and there was no trace of the dejected and aimless look he once had in him. At this time, Linkong was hanging at a high place, with a flag waving in his hand. He was surrounded by ten guards. Farther away, there were patches of ghost cultivators wielding mourning sticks or soul-catching claws, sweeping away the area within sight, one by one. The ghosts were found out and forcibly saved.
Even if you observe carefully, you can find that the ghost cultivators participating in the elimination will also take turns. Generally, after saving five ghosts, they will consciously retreat, hand over the magic weapons in their hands to other ghost cultivators, and retreat to hold the battle.
The whole scene looked more like a large-scale award ceremony than a battlefield.
Don’t those ghosts know how to resist? We couldn't even see how fierce the fight was. The whole scene was just a one-sided crushing by ghost cultivators.
It’s not that I don’t want to resist, it’s that I can’t resist. The reason is the flag in Jiang Ziwen's hand.
The soul-suppressing flag suppresses the soul body. Anyone considered a hostile target by this magic weapon will be suppressed by the Soul-Suppressing Flag. The essential power of suppression is not the magic weapon itself, but the rules of heaven and earth brought by the magic weapon, and it is the original rule of the world in the Desolate Heaven Realm.
The soul body is the mutation of the soul. The essence is the same, both coming from the origin of heaven and earth. Now that the origin of this world is pressing down in the form of rules, no matter whether you are a ghost general or a ghost king, you don't even have the possibility to escape.
Coupled with the soul-catching claw and mourning stick, the entire sweep becomes extremely simple. Even many of the backup plans Jiang Ziwen prepared at the beginning were completely useless.
In fact, it is not without danger. It's just that those dangers are only fleeting and disappear.
The danger comes from the great ghost king. Not long after Jiang Ziwen began to officially launch the clearing of the ghost domain, the big ghost king arrived. The sky was full of ferocious momentum, with a large black mass of ghost generals and ghost kings. Not to mention the ghost cultivators under his command during that battle, even Jiang Ziwen himself felt guilty.
What made Jiang Ziwen dare to go head-on was that he had the guarantee from Duoyashan and his teacher. He just needs to do his best to execute it, and if there is a checkpoint on the way, the teacher will naturally take action to smooth things over.
So a golden statue, dozens of feet tall, appeared in the ghost realm without any warning. Then the Dharma Prime Minister stretched out his hand, like holding an ant, and held the majestic and fierce ghost king directly between his fingers. After three or two breaths, the ghost king was filled with violent energy, digested into a living soul, and disappeared. In the ghost realm.
Then the Dharma disappeared out of thin air just as it appeared. Everything was like a dream. Only the great ghost king who could not be found at all confirmed that the dream was not a dream, but a cruel reality.
After that experience, Jiang Ziwen never panicked again. As long as the big ghost king is no longer a threat, ordinary ghost kings and ghost generals cannot withstand the power of the soul-suppressing flag, and it will be easy to sweep them away.
And because heaven and earth will return benefits due to salvation, the ghost cultivators' ability to sweep along the way has also increased rapidly. Compared with the past when they secretly hunted a few ghosts in the world of salvation, now they have entered the ghost realm and turned the ghosts into monsters in droves. Resurrecting a soul to gain merit, evil spirits and soul energy is like jumping from a small puddle into a large puddle. Some ghost cultivators with relatively shallow cultivation even make breakthroughs one after another, without even having time to lay a solid foundation.
The five-year time limit, which seemed to be a bit reluctant at first, suddenly didn’t seem so tense after the first demonstration of Dharma power and the establishment of a sweeping trend. Even if there are no changes, this time will still be relatively ample.
Because Jiang Ziwen soon discovered that the ghosts that seemed fearless and fearless in the past were no more likely to be defeated than the defeated armies in the world when faced with means that could completely "kill" them and were unable to resist. What's the difference? This virtually lowered the obstacles to the sweep by several levels.
Only two years have passed, half of the entire ghost domain has fallen into the hands of the ghost cultivators headed by Jiang Ziwen. Moreover, the team of ghost cultivators also grew rapidly during this process, and finally exceeded the number of 10,000.
However, Jiang Ziwen was also curious. Ever since he killed a big ghost king with his teacher's help in the first battle, he had never encountered any big ghost king in subsequent raids. Even in the third year, 80% of this ghost domain has fallen under the control of ghost cultivators, including the territory of the demon spirit clan that had once thought of "dealing with it slowly", but they did not waste time and took it all together. There is still no Saw the shadow of the Great Ghost King.
Jiang Ziwen felt that those big ghost kings should have escaped. And the direction of escape is probably towards the demon clan. Because only the Dead Silence Road over there has not been completely blocked by ghost cultivators.
In fact, Jiang Ziwen's guess was correct, but not entirely correct. Those frightened ghost kings did run away, but the direction they ran was not the demon clan's territory, because that was meaningless and they would be captured sooner or later. What they chose was to flee to the place where they had fought with the Demon God Baronka and the Martial Saint Xu Fengyang: the God Realm.
The result was no surprise. Including Xu Fengyang's disciple Xu Fengbai, they all received personal salvation from Zhang Yan in the God Realm.
During this time, Xu Fengbai shouted "Brother, save me!". But he was not as lucky as he was in Langyuan City before. His eldest brother Xu Fengyang didn't even dare to look at the God Realm, let alone come to save him.
To be honest, Zhang Yan was a little surprised by such a large sum of merit and spiritual energy. But for him at this time, he was just surprised rather than surprised. More of these is not too much, less of these is not enough.
Things went smoothly beyond expectations. At the same time, another question was pushed to Zhang Yan, who needed to come up with a strategy as soon as possible: how to continue cultivating ghost cultivators after the ghost domain was cleared, and how to make good use of this special place in the ghost domain.
The foundation of ghost cultivation is to absorb Yin evil spirits and Yin energy to practice. The merit feedback gained from transcending ghosts will inevitably drop sharply after the ghost domain is cleared. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Yan has always warned Jiang Ziwen to control the number of ghost cultivators.
What should we do next in the ghost realm? There must be an effective organization to allocate resources inside and outside the ghost domain. At the same time, the relationship between the ghost realm and the human world must be changed. They should be complementary to each other rather than hostile to each other as in the past. This was Zhang Yan's original intention to integrate all the forces in the Huangtian Domain.
The best way to resolve hostility is to make the other person "need" you.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth turned up slightly, and he thought to himself: Is this a coincidence?
