Chapter 439 Rescue
Yuan Ming has a general understanding of the specific content of the soul-descent technique by searching the memory of the residual soul of the self-respecting master.
To perform this technique, one must be able to control the willpower to a certain extent.
The willpower is invisible and colorless, and somewhat ethereal and unpredictable. Except for those who practice the "Great Freedom Heart Sutra", most soul cultivators cannot truly perceive and control the willpower, so very few people in the Wuyue Sect can perform the soul-descent technique.
Yuan Ming's eyes lit up.
He sat cross-legged on the white jade lotus platform of the Stealing Heaven Cauldron. Without guidance, the willpower in the lotus platform would spontaneously merge into his soul, and there would be no side effects. It can be said that it naturally meets the conditions for practicing the soul-descent technique.
I just don't know if the soul-descent technique can allow his consciousness to descend from the Stealing Heaven Cauldron space like the willpower anchor point.
If it can, he will have another way and means to influence the outside world in the Stealing Heaven Cauldron.
There is no other valuable information except these residual souls of the self-respecting master.
Yuan Ming put away his thoughts and stood up.
Lu Da was lying on the ground, but he didn't die. However, his breath was getting weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
"Yuan Daoyou... you promised to spare my life... please save me..." He said with difficulty.
"Okay." Yuan Ming said calmly, and shot out a green light from his finger, which merged into Lu Da's body.
Lu Da's chest wound healed a lot, and his breath was also stable.
"Thank you Yuan Daoyou... no, Lord Mingyue, from now on, I am willing to follow you and work for Mingyue Sect!" Lu Da was grateful and expressed his loyalty.
"It's really stupid. You actually let the enemy go because of a word. After the injury is recovered, you immediately try to escape and report to the higher-ups. The previous intelligence on Mingyue Sect is very biased..." In his heart, he was extremely disdainful of Yuan Ming's behavior of keeping his promise, and he was thinking secretly.
"I believe you." Yuan Ming smiled slightly and waved his sleeves.
The nearby Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts flew over, revealing a black light, and wrapped around Lu Da's body like a tentacle, dragging him into the picture.
"Lord Mingyue, what are you doing! Ah..." Lu Da felt his body getting colder and colder, and he was afraid of being dragged into the abyss of the underworld, and he screamed in anger.
"Lu Da, as a minion of Wuyue Cult, you have done too many evil things. Do you think you can continue to be free and unrestrained? Since you promised to work for Mingyue Cult, you will help me as a ghost slave in the future." Yuan Ming said indifferently.
The black light emitted by the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Picture became stronger, and "whoosh" dragged Lu Da's body completely in, and the screams stopped abruptly.
Yuan Ming then put the Dream Rune of All Living Beings into the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Picture again, and thoroughly checked the entire cave again, and found several magic tools of foundation-building cultivators, all of which were ordinary goods. The only one with some value was a warm jade pendant that assisted soul cultivation, but it was a pity that it was useless to him.
In addition, Yuan Ming also found some elixirs for cultivation and some blood-colored forbidden talismans, which looked like the so-called "magic talismans" that Lu Da had previously injected into Xu Che's body, but they were just some fake tricks to fool people.
Afterwards, Yuan Ming came to Xu Che, took out the empty gloves and put them on, and used his soul power to inject them.
A blue and illusory little hand emerged from the gloves, swinging flexibly, and circles of blue light were emitted from the fingertips, which easily penetrated into the void.
"So that's it, this method is used to modify the memory..." Yuan Ming carefully sensed the blue little hand and nodded slightly.
He had already mastered the soul-searching ability. The black light emitted by the soul-searching magical power could only detect the surface of the memory. This blue little hand had stronger penetration and could go deep into the sea of memory and rewrite it.
Yuan Ming immersed the blue palm into Xu Che's head and quickly detected the memory made by Lu Da. He was changed into the enemy who killed Xu Che's mother, and he used illusion to control Xu Che for many years, making him work for him and spread the Dark Moon Sect.
In Xu Che's mind, the Dark Moon Sect was also modified into a cult that squeezed the hard-earned money of mortals and did all kinds of evil.
Yuan Ming shook his head, controlled the blue little hand, and began to correct Xu Che's memory.
A healthy person, especially a monk, has the ability to repair himself, so it is much easier to correct memory than to rewrite it. In addition, the time of memory tampering was not very long, so it was discovered in time, so Yuan Ming did not spend too much time to complete it.
Xu Che's eyebrows moved a few times and opened his eyes.
"Master! Why are you here? What's wrong with me? My mind is very confused..." He said blankly.
"You were caught by the Wu Yue Sect..." Yuan Ming recounted the whole story.
"So that's how it is. I was controlled by someone and made a big mistake. Please punish me." After hearing everything, Xu Che was ashamed and knelt on the ground.
"Wu Yue Sect is a religion that existed ten thousand years ago. Changchun Temple united various sects but failed to destroy it. You can't resist it on your own. Don't blame yourself. Get up." Yuan Ming waved his sleeves, and a flexible force lifted Xu Che up.
"Fortunately, you discovered it in time and killed Lu Da and others, otherwise the Dark Moon Sect would really fall apart." Xu Che adjusted his mood and said with fear.
"As the Dark Moon Sect grows, it will definitely encounter various crises, but there is no need to worry too much." Yuan Ming said.
"My Lord, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The strength of the Dark Moon Sect is too weak. As long as you are not here, any sect can uproot us. Now does not seem to be the time for large-scale preaching." Xu Che hesitated and expressed his opinion.
The last time Yuan Ming asked him to preach on a large scale, he felt that it was inappropriate, but he did not dare to speak frankly.
"You really need to be more careful when you preach in the future. If you encounter any problems, please pray to me in time and report them. I will try to deal with them." Yuan Ming said with a hum.
He insisted on expanding the scope of preaching and had his own plans. He could not throw away such a good means of improving soul cultivation strength. Now that he had provoked such a behemoth as Wuyue Sect, he really needed to be more careful in his actions.
"Yes." Xu Che agreed.
"Also, don't make these statues of the Dark Moon God anymore. It's easy for people to catch you and make a fuss, just like this time. When you recruit believers in the future, just try to let them know what I look like." Yuan Ming said again.
After summarizing this period of time, he also discovered the rules of collecting wishes. The believers of the Dark Moon Sect don't have to pray to the statues. As long as they know what he looks like, the wishes can be passed on.
These statues of the Dark Moon God are enough to look at once, and there is no need to observe them every day.
As for whether there are other rules for collecting wishes, he is not sure for the time being.
"Yes, I will do it immediately later." Xu Che said with his head down.
His expression hesitated for a moment, then became firm, and bowed to Yuan Ming: "My Lord, please plant the soul descending rune in my soul!"
"Do you know the domineering soul descending rune? After planting this rune, you will have no secrets in front of me. As long as I want, I can easily monitor any of your actions, even thoughts." Yuan Ming looked at Xu Che and said slowly.
"I know that it is just for the development of the Dark Moon Sect. I can't have any problems here. Only the soul descending rune can guarantee this! What's more, I have already sworn to be loyal to you forever, and you can watch my every word and action." Xu Che said.
"Okay, in this case, I will cast a spell on you when I am familiar with this soul descending technique." Yuan Ming was just looking for a believer to try the effect of the soul descending technique, and he did not refuse.
Afterwards, after Xu Che identified that several of those divine messengers were brought by Lu Da, Yuan Ming took action to kill them.
The remaining people were basically believers of the Dark Moon God. These people were either not strong enough or their identities were not important. Their memories were not rewritten, but they were just controlled by Lu Da.
Yuan Ming didn't want too many people to know his whereabouts, so he removed the illusion of these people and hid himself.
These people learned from Xu Che that it was Lord Mingyue who came and saved them personally, and they were extremely excited and thanked him profusely.
Xu Che tried his best to calm them down.
After that, Xu Che told these people what Lu Da had done, and asked them to take the elixir to the homes of believers in various cities to treat them, and also asked them to distribute all the gold and silver that Lu Da had accumulated to the people.
These things are useless for cultivators, but for ordinary people, they are undoubtedly the best "miracle".
A group of people were grateful for the mercy of Lord Mingyue, and they thanked him again and again before leaving.
In this cave, in addition to these people, there are also more than 300 women who Lu Da collected from different cities.
Most of them have been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, and many have died and stayed here forever.
After Yuan Ming rescued them, he did not force them to become believers, but erased their memories of this place and sent them back.
The Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts had completely refined Lu Da into a ghost slave at this moment. Yuan Ming searched his soul and learned a lot of information about the Wu Yue Sect.
The jade slip that recorded the Wu Yue Sect's strongholds was true.
The reason why Lu Da collected information about other strongholds was at the instruction of the Venerable Zizai, which involved the power struggle of several Venerables of the Wu Yue Sect.
In Lu Da's memory, Yuan Ming also accidentally learned the identity of Tian Gui San Ren. As he had previously speculated, Tian Gui San Ren was indeed a subordinate of the Venerable Zizai.
Tian Gui San Ren and Lu Da were sent to the Black Wind Desert by the Venerable Zizai at the same time. Lu Da collected the power of will, while Tian Gui San Ren was ordered to collect soul power at all costs, and the more the better. Tian Gui San Ren had the crazy move of slaughtering the entire Dihe City.
Yuan Ming frowned slightly. The Venerable Zizai needed the power of will to cultivate the Great Freedom Heart Sutra. Why did he collect a lot of soul power at all costs?
"My Lord, what are your plans next? Although the base of the Wuyue Sect was destroyed by us, the other bases of the Wuyue Sect in the Black Wind Desert are still there. I think that if we want to preach here safely, we must eradicate all those bases." Xu Che walked over and said.
Yuan Ming came back to his senses, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He had just considered this matter and had already formulated a countermeasure. Unexpectedly, Xu Che and he thought of the same thing.
In addition to being capable, this person also has a long-term vision.
"Don't worry about this matter, I will arrange it." Yuan Ming said.
"My Lord, do you plan to destroy them one by one? With your strength, you can certainly do it, but it is too time-consuming and a bit risky." Xu Che said hesitantly.
