Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 870 - 359: Heavenly Ghost—Chaos (Part 2)
"I don’t know."
"A corpse, the corpse of a Heavenly Ghost."
Li Changxun said, "After the Heavenly Ghosts die, their corpses transform into domains. This Heavenly Ghost Domain might remain eternally dead... but it might also give birth to a new form of Heavenly Ghost."
"This particular Heavenly Ghost is called Chaos, as the name suggests, its body is a realm of chaos, capable of devouring everything, whether human, god, ghost, spirit, demon, or zombie. Once enveloped by it, one becomes part of its body, completely dissolved."
"Thus, some people in Jing Country who know of ancient secrets refer to it as the Chaos Heavenly Ghost."
Li Changxun said, "Devouring everything to make it part of itself, its innate existence is to annihilate all spaces in the world, in complete contradiction with Jing Country’s Space Law Heavenly God."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan had a question and said, "I’ve heard that in the ancient war, the Heavenly Ghosts were devoured by the Shadow God. If it was devoured, how can there be a complete corpse of the Chaos Heavenly Ghost?"
Devoured means naturally being in pieces, here and there.
"This brings us to the Tangkou of Wind Horse Sparrow."
Li Changxun said, "Wind Horse Sparrow is not the name of the Tangkou, but its symbol. The Tangkou’s name is ’Colorful Play Hall,’ and its disciples are naturally called Colorful Play Masters. Each one understands the art of deception. At the peak of Tangkou, they could make the dead appear alive, performing a grand deception to fool the eyes of the gods above."
"However, Colorful Play Hall wasn’t always so powerful. I once met Gong Zheng, who told me that long ago, Colorful Play Hall was just a third-rate Tangkou, indulging in petty deceptions. The symbol of Wind Horse Sparrow formed during that period."
Li Changxun paused for a breath, extended his hand, and counted on his fingers for Zhou Xuan,
"Wind is flowery words, deceit and setup; Horse signifies abduction and extortion, taking the meaning of notorious bandits; Swallow refers to swallows nesting under temple eaves, they beg alms to build temples and defraud devotees of incense money; Sparrow means concocting elixirs and mechanisms, sometimes passing off as alchemists, playing tricks to make spectators mistake them for people with divine skills,
so you see, their symbol is a bunch of petty scoundrels. What fame could this Tangkou claim?"
"What happened then? How did they become strong?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
"There’s credit to be given to a visitor from beyond."
Li Changxun pointed upwards and said, "Great Master, since you can invite the East Market Dragon God, you must know that this Dragon God wasn’t naturally formed, but was a collaboration of the first-generation Peng Hou, Mountain Ancestor, and Star Lord. On East Market Street, they set up a Fengshui Array, extremely clever, forming a Dragon God over two thousand years, comparable to an Ancestor Dragon."
This story was something Zhou Xuan was all too familiar with.
Miss Qiang knew it even better; after all, that Fengshui Array was suppressing the ’Great Mother Star Pit,’ where the person residing is the engineer of the Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty.
"It was the engineer who taught the ’Colorful Play Hall’ some methods." Miss Qiang said in surprise.
"That’s right."
Li Changxun said, "That visitor from beyond, whom you call the engineer, taught the Colorful Play Masters the true method of spiritual control and consciousness aggregation. Coupled with the Tangkou’s deception techniques, they became the ’Wind Horse Sparrow’ that could fool the eyes of all gods."
"Every major Tangkou in Jing Country dreams daily of producing a Heavenly Dome God Level within its ranks. The larger Tangkou have even greater ambitions, fantasizing about cultivating a Heavenly God."
"Colorful Play Hall had the same aspirations. After becoming famous, they were too arrogant and caught the attention of the Heavenly Dome God Level. Simply put, the methods of Tangkou were too heaven-defying, and Jing Country would not allow such existence. Among the twenty-four God-levels, thirteen entered, along with dozens of Daoists, to annihilate the Colorful Play Masters."
"No matter where they went on earth or in heaven, this Tangkou was to be completely eradicated."
"But Colorful Play Hall had already deceived the heavens and the seas, fooled eleven Shadow Gods, gathered the corpse of the Chaos Heavenly Ghost from their hands, the corpse assembled to form the Heavenly Ghost Domain, descending ten thousand meters underground in Mingjiang Prefecture,
and the disciples of Colorful Play Hall, their souls all leaving their bodies, their consciousnesses aggregating to form the brain of the Ancestors, entering the Heavenly Ghost Domain, attempting to eke out a living, using the corpse of the Heavenly Ghost to cultivate a Heavenly God for the Colorful Play Hall. On the day the Heavenly God descends, they would be reborn from impure soil."
At this point,
Li Changxun looked exactly like a storyteller, gazing at the ceiling, sighing as he spoke, "Unfortunately, the will of the Heavenly Ghost is immortal and undying. The Colorful Play Hall thought to use the Heavenly Ghost Domain to nurture their Heavenly God, but little did they know—they were instead controlled by the Chaos Heavenly Ghost. All these years, they, like me, have only been wagons slaved to the will of the Chaos Heavenly Ghost."
Zhou Xuan, upon hearing this, finally understood,
The crux of the matter is only this—Colorful Play Hall wanted to create a Heavenly God using the Heavenly Ghost but instead became pawns in the rebirth of the Heavenly Ghost.
Moreover, Zhou Xuan also understood why the ’naturally kind-hearted’ engineer of the Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty would be jointly arrayed and suppressed under East Market Street by the three first-generation God-levels.
This ’engineer,’ perhaps unintentionally, imparted the skills to Colorful Play Hall, a careless mistake, yet she cultivated an extremely powerful and ruthless Tangkou. When assigning blame, she too is not without fault.
