" Let's go, let's check the seal's condition," Azure Dragon said as he led Hao Yun and the other three towards the seal.
After a few twists and turns, the five of them successfully arrived at the location of the seal. Hao Yun and the other three looked around and were extremely surprised by the scene in front of them. After turning the last turn, they arrived at a hall. Originally, there was no torch in the hall, but what made Hao Yun and the other three marvel was that they could clearly see the situation in the hall. This made them praise the magic of the Yin-Yang Art. After many years, The Yin-Yang Art set up by the predecessors could actually play such an effect.
The walls, floor, and the surroundings of the hall were covered in dense black lines. These intertwined black lines formed a vast sealing formation. There was a strange beast stone statue in each of the four rooms in the hall. They each raised their heads to the sky and suppressed the four corners of the seal. In the middle of the sealing formation was a traditional circular sealing formation. The ball that Hao Yun and the others had seen before was floating in the center of the formation. The soul in the ball was restless, causing the sealing ball that should have been quietly in the center of the formation to vibrate and collide with the seal.
"Are these the Four Great Sacred Beasts? Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise?”Hao Yun pointed at the four ferocious beasts and asked Azure Dragon.
Azure Dragon nodded and walked towards the center of the sealing array. At the same time, he said to the few of them, Let me see what's wrong with this first." Then, the Azure Dragon began to slowly inspect the sealing array.
Hao Yun stood at the side and waited for the four of them. Soon, Azure Dragon came back. His face was not good and he was obviously annoyed. Then he told Hao Yun and the other four the results of the examination,"This seal is no longer working. After thousands of years of baptism, the energy in the seal is slowly being consumed. Now, there is not much energy left in the seal. In addition, the evil spirit inside is attacking the seal. If you didn't notice, it won't take long for the thing inside to break the seal and escape.”
"Then what should we do now? The sealed energy is gone? " Then can we replenish the sealed energy?" Hearing Azure Dragon's words, everyone understood the urgency of the situation and began to think of a solution. Uchiha Haruko suggested a way to replenish energy.
This method sounded good. Then, everyone looked at Azure Dragon to see if this method was feasible.
Azure Dragon, who was being looked at with anticipation, frowned and slowly shook his head."No, this method won't work because it's not just a problem of energy. The lack of energy is weakening the binding force of the seal, and these evil spirits are taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the seal. The seal is already broken, which is why you can see these evil spirits at night. The seal is only barely suppressing these evil spirits with the power of the sun during the day, but it won't be able to suppress them for long."
"You know the Yin-Yang Art, right?" After hearing Azure Dragon's words. He asked Azure Dragon.
" I will," Azure Dragon answered straightforwardly.
"Then you should be able to repair this seal, right?”Hao Yun asked again.
Azure Dragon sighed." Sigh, no, I can't fix this seal. This seal is a top-notch sealing array created by my master. The rune lines in it affect the whole body. If one line is wrong, it will cause the seal to be scrapped. This way, the evil spirit will come out faster. Without the array diagram, it is impossible to repair it. "If I start studying it now, it will take a long time to finish studying this seal. The evil spirit is about to break through the seal, so we don't have the time to slowly study it. "Moreover, even if I can repair it now, we don't have any energy to inject into it. This will only delay it for a little time and won't solve the problem."
"Energy? A formation diagram?" Hao Yun was silent for a while. If these two problems were not solved, it would be impossible to completely seal these evil souls." Do you mean special energy?”
" Yes, this sealing formation can only be activated by injecting the unique power and spiritual energy of Onmyoji. Other energies won't work," Azure Dragon said in such a demoralizing manner.
"Yin-Yang Master?" Everyone sighed, and then Hao Yun complained,"" Where are we going to find a Yin-Yang Master? There are no Yin-Yang Masters in this ninja era." The harsh reality made everyone even more desperate. If they did not solve the energy problem, everything would be empty talk.
"Spiritual power?" Hao Yun thought of something and smiled. The few of them turned to Hao Yun to see what he had thought of.
"Azure Dragon, are you a Spirit-branded Retainer?" Azure Dragon nodded. "You know the Yin-Yang Technique." Azure Dragon nodded slightly and then poured a bucket of cold water on the excited Haoyun. I understand what you mean, but that's not feasible."
The remaining few people thought about it and understood Hao Yun's thoughts. Then, they all looked at Azure Dragon in confusion. The Azure Dragon explained,"I do have spiritual power, but right now, my spiritual power is too little. I can't even continue fighting, let alone the huge amount of spiritual power that this seal requires. If I was at my peak, this spiritual power wouldn't be a problem, but after such a long time, I really have too little left. That's why I fell into a deep sleep. I didn't even notice that the seal was broken."
"So when you fought with us, you didn't deliberately use only physical skills, but only physical skills?”Hao Yun asked Azure Dragon after hearing his explanation.
The few of them looked at Azure Dragon and nodded. Then, everyone sighed and began to think of a solution to the problem again.
" Ahhhh!" Hao Yun scratched his head in frustration. The few of them who had thought for a long time but could not come up with a solution were already very frustrated. " How about this," Hao Yun said to Azure Dragon." If we want to solve the problem, we should first understand its root cause." Tell us about the origin of this seal first."
Azure Dragon nodded and began to explain,"This seal was made by the greatest person of our era, Immortal Qian Yu. On his way to kill demons and devils, he saw many souls that could not enter Samsara. They were countless vengeful souls born from the evil thoughts of all living beings. The compassion of the immortal was shaken, so in order to redeem these souls, the immortal spent a lot of cultivation methods to make this container to accommodate souls--Soul Receiving Ball," Azure Dragon pointed at the ball in the center of the seal and said to Haoyun and the others."Ever since then, Immortal Qian Yu has used this Soul Receiving Ball to collect countless vengeful souls and ghosts. Immortal Qian Yu always carries this Soul Receiving Ball with him, and at every moment, he uses the Buddhist Dharma to nurture the souls inside, hoping that they will be able to wash away their sins and reincarnate. The souls inside didn't disappoint Immortal's compassion, and after receiving Immortal's Buddhist Dharma, many souls gave up their attachment and reincarnated. However, there were always some souls who were deeply possessed and didn't want to enter the reincarnation. They kept devouring other souls. In this way, those who could transcend the reincarnation were almost done. The rest were evil and resentful souls. After devouring countless souls, they became incomparably powerful. Then, the souls that entered the soul receiving ball either joined them or were devoured by them. However, the immortals didn't give up on them. They still tried their best to ferry them. However, just as the immortals were about to convert them. "A powerful demon beast appeared in the world. The world was destroyed by that demon beast and was riddled with holes. Therefore, the Immortal decided to deal with that demon beast. Because he was not completely confident, the Immortal arranged his funeral. Even if he could not defeat that demon beast, the Immortal would use a forbidden technique to perish together with the demon beast. Therefore, the Immortal sealed the Soul Receiving Ball here and slowly consumed the souls inside. He also arranged for me to guard the seal here." He did not allow others to touch this seal and prevent these evil spirits from breaking the seal themselves. "This is the origin of this seal. That's why the souls you see now are so weak. After such a long time, they still have such power. If we wait for them to absorb spiritual force to recover their strength, this world will be finished. Therefore, we have to think of a way to deal with them."
Hearing this mythical history, Hao Yun and the others were all excited. They imagined the magnificent epic era. It was really something they yearned for.
At this time, Hao Yun asked Azure Dragon,"According to what you said, we should be able to hear the legend of Immortal Qian Yu. Why don't we know that there was such a person?" Was there a reason why immortals were buried in the river of history and not passed down?”
"No." Azure Dragon denied Hao Yun's guess and said," Immortal Thousand Universe hasn't been buried in history. I believe you've all heard of him."
Hao Yun and the others were puzzled."Impossible. If there's a story passed down by Immortal Thousand Universe, it's impossible that I don't know."
Xiri, Yuanqiu, and the others nodded as well. Given Haoyun's reading experience, there were very few things in this world that he didn't know. If Immortal Thousand Universe really had a legend, there was no way that Haoyun didn't know about it.
"No." Azure Dragon shook his head again and said slowly,"All of you do know Immortal Thousand Universe, because his full name is Six Dao Thousand Universe. At that time, he discovered a new energy system and created Ninja Sect, passing down the ninjutsu that you are currently practicing. "Later, the immortals were also called the Six Paths Immortals by later generations, but very few people know their original names."
"Immortal Six Paths!" Hao Yun and the other three shouted in unison. Then, everyone looked at each other and immediately fell silent in surprise.
Thus, Azure Dragon sank into his memories. Hao Yun and the others also fell into deep thought after hearing Azure Dragon's story.
