Chapter 549: Deterrence
In the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming was startled. He did not expect that Queen Mingkong's mind would be so sharp, and he could see at a glance her purpose of informing them of the situation in the outside world.
Facing the woman's inquiry, Yun Jiuxiao was silent for a moment before getting the follow-up instructions from Yuan Ming.
"Lord Ming Yue God said that as long as you believe in him, he will tell you the situation of Bixiao and other three islands. Not only that, as long as you are pious, he can also send your orders and some items to the outside world and deliver them to the outside world. In the hands of your cronies," Yun Jiuxiao repeated.
Queen Mingkong's eyes flashed: "As long as we believe in him? Is it that simple?"
The three alien tribes in the East China Sea judge their heroes based on their strength and do not attach much importance to faith. Worshiping a certain god is not a big deal.
"Yes, but you must truly believe. Otherwise, if you just say it, Ming Yue God will sense that you are not sincere and will not lend a helping hand." Yun Jiuxiao replied seriously.
However, when Master Bai Lin heard what he said, he snorted coldly: "What a loud tone. Your Nether Moon God really thinks that he is a god? How dare you ask us three Nascent Souls to believe in him? How dare you ask us three Nascent Souls to believe in him?" I don’t know what to say! He’s such a pretentious guy, and he doesn’t even know if he’s worthy of it!”
Queen Mingkong and the strong man from the Water Ape Tribe did not speak, but the expressions on their faces showed that they both had some doubts in their hearts, and it was obvious that they did not really believe Yun Jiuxiao's words.
In the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming had long expected that things would not be so simple. If it were so simple to gain the faith of Queen Mingkong and the others, they would probably not be able to cultivate the Nascent Soul.
However, the good words have been said and the deal has been proposed. All that is left is to show off the unique skills.
Yuan Ming took a deep breath, sat on the white jade lotus platform, took out the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts, silently activated the dream runes of living beings hidden in it, and projected the power onto Master Bai Lin.
In the cave, Master White Scales had just finished speaking and had not made any other moves. The scene in front of him suddenly changed and he was back on the Sky Snake Tower Ship. At this time, the ship was also engulfed in a sea of fire, and the ground was covered with fire. Looking at the corpses of the snake people, there was no living snake person.
Master Bai Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he had fallen into an illusion.
At this moment, the snake-human corpses on the ground got up one after another and staggered towards Master White Scales.
"Why don't you come back? Why don't you save us!"
"Ancestor, it hurts to be burned by fire. It really hurts!"
"My hand! My hand is gone! Ancestor, please help me find my hand, please?"
Countless snake-man zombies howled and rushed toward Master White Scales.
"You want me to surrender just by relying on a mere illusion?" Master White Scales sneered in his heart, ignoring the words of these snake-man zombies, and offered a palm-sized black gourd.
Countless sword-like black lights shot out from the gourd, and in a flash of spiritual light, they killed the snake-man zombies one by one.
However, the snake-man zombie he killed fell to the ground and stood up again after a while. He was still injured. Even though he was beaten in two, his upper and lower bodies were struggling to crawl towards Master White Scales. , the sound of crying and howling became louder.
The screams penetrated into the heart of Master White Scales, as if shouting in his heart, and countless emotions of fear, resentment, and helplessness were transmitted into his thoughts.
Even though Master White Scales exists in the Nascent Soul stage, his mind is still shaken.
"This is..." The white scale master's face changed color, and he quickly stabilized his defense, and activated the black gourd again, beating the snake-man zombie to pieces.
At the same time, more snake-human zombies with blurred faces appeared from all around, rushing towards Master White Scales one after another. The originally different words gradually became unified into two words.
"traitor!"
The snake zombies shouted at the top of their lungs, blaming Master White Scales for their deaths.
The loud voice was uniformly transmitted into the sea of consciousness of Master White Scales, and all the chaotic emotions turned into resentment, impacting Master White Scales' will like an angry wave.
Master White Scales had sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and kept using his magic weapon to kill the zombies. At the same time, he desperately searched for a way to break the illusion, but he still found nothing.
At the same time, outside the illusion, Queen Mingkong was shocked when she saw Master Bai Lin's body suddenly froze, the look in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his aura unstable.
"Mingyue God, Bai Lin is just used to talking without restraint. Please hold back and don't hurt his life!" Queen Mingkong shouted immediately.
Even if she couldn't stand Master White Scales anymore, in this situation, she couldn't really sit back and watch Master White Scales die an unexpected death.
"Yes, God of the Dark Moon, we agree to your request. Please also release Bai Lin from the illusion!" The strong man from the Water Ape Tribe on the side also shouted.
Yuan Ming had no intention of killing Master White Scales. Although this person had captured Yan Sijing, the best way to punish a person was not to kill him directly.
"puff"
As Yuan Ming lifted the illusion, Master White Scales finally returned to reality. But at this moment, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. His momentum plummeted and his spirit became depressed. It was obvious that his soul was affected. It was a big blow.
"Ahem, thank you to the God of the Dark Moon for your noble hand." He coughed and raised his hands to the sky. Dissatisfaction and resentment emerged in his heart, but soon he was overwhelmed by fear.
This is enough for Yuan Ming.
Yun Jiuxiao looked at Master Bai Lin's tragic situation, and while fearful of the power of the Moon God, his faith in his heart became more and more pious.
The Queen Mingkong and the Water Ape tribe strongman looked solemn. They could trap a Nascent Soul in an illusion without knowing it. Regardless of whether the name of the Dark Moon God was true or false, he was at least a powerful soul cultivator above the Sleeping Witch.
If a Sleeping Witch soul cultivator hiding in the dark wanted to harm them, they had no chance to resist. Now they could only pretend to be submissive and find out their true purpose before making plans.
With this thought, the Queen Mingkong and the Water Ape tribe strongman exchanged glances, and then the Queen Mingkong continued to talk to Yun Jiuxiao.
"We have seen the power of the Dark Moon God, but we don't know how to give him the faith he wants?" Queen Mingkong asked.
Yun Jiuxiao was silent for a moment, and then continued to repeat the words conveyed by the Dark Moon God: "The seniors just need to put their hands together, pray to the sky, and silently recite the name of the Dark Moon God in their hearts. As long as their hearts are sincere, the Dark Moon God will respond."
"Is that all? We don't need to know the appearance of the Dark Moon God?" The Water Ape tribe strongman asked curiously.
Yunhuang Continent also has the way of worship. To believe in a certain existence, understanding its external image is the basis, so that you can offer your faith. If you don’t even know its appearance, can you really contact the Dark Moon God?
“No need, as long as the three of you are sincere, the Dark Moon God will naturally feel it.” Yun Jiuxiao said.
Queen Mingkong frowned slightly. Yun Jiuxiao repeatedly emphasized that the heart must be sincere, but what is considered sincere, there is no standard, and the way to offer faith is also very simple. Can you really contact the Dark Moon God in this way?
In the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, Yuan Ming noticed the expression of Queen Mingkong and roughly guessed her thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he gave new instructions.
“Several seniors may wish to think of it this way. Your island is now in danger, and you are powerless for a while. You can only pray for strength from a more powerful existence. Praying with this mood can be considered pious.” Yun Jiuxiao repeated.
Queen Mingkong nodded slightly, said that she knew, and turned to communicate with the strong man of the Water Ape Clan and the White Scale Master.
Soon, they discussed the result: "We will do what the Dark Moon God said, but there are also requirements. First, we must take turns to pray for the first time, and we will not pray at the same time. Secondly, we cannot pray devoutly every moment. We can only pray once every three hours at most. Every time we pray, we hope that the Dark Moon God will respond, inform us of the situation in the outside world, and send out our orders and some items."
"Lord Dark Moon God has other important things to do. It is impossible for him to respond to your every prayer, and he will not become a mouthpiece for you to casually pass orders and items to the outside world! Don't you think this request is too much?" Yun Jiuxiao's face changed color and he said angrily.
"He doesn't even agree to this small request, but he wants us to believe in him. This Dark Moon God thinks too highly of himself." Master Bai Lin snorted.
"We are now in the secret realm of Sanxian Island, isolated from the world. If we want to pass on the news and items here, Lord Dark Moon God doesn't know how much power he will consume, and you three have only paid for faith. He really has a good plan." Yun Jiuxiao sneered.
Master Bai Lin was ridiculed by a junior in the Jindan stage, and blood appeared on his face, but when he thought of the illusion just now, he resisted the urge to flare up.
"Since the three of you are not sincere, let's just leave it at that. The three of you should find a way to deal with the crisis outside." Yun Jiuxiao turned and walked away.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, please stay. Fellow Daoist Bai Lin does not mean that." Queen Mingkong hurriedly tried to keep him.
Yun Jiuxiao stopped.
"Since Lord Mingyue God does not agree to change the conditions, we will pray to Lord Mingyue God sincerely every three hours. Lord Mingyue God does not need to respond, and only needs to pass on the order and items for us once." Queen Mingkong said.
"That's fine." Yun Jiuxiao waited for a moment, got the approval of the Lord Mingyue God, and agreed to them.
The deal was reached, and Queen Mingkong and the other two did not waste time and immediately began the first prayer.
The first to pray was the strong man of the water ape tribe.
At first, his attitude was mixed with caution, but when he thought that the monkey cubs on his island were probably in dire straits, his mood became heavy. Although he still had many doubts, his prayers also brought a trace of sincerity that he had not noticed.
Soon, in the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming felt a powerful wish coming from the void, as thick as a golden dragon, hovering on the white jade lotus for a moment, and then pouring into Yuan Ming's body.
He immediately operated the spell, trying to swallow and absorb this wish.
However, this wish was too huge. Even though his main soul and the first soul were operating at full capacity, they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the wish. But after a while, his sea of consciousness had a slight swelling feeling, and the speed of absorbing the wish was somewhat slower than the speed of the wish injection.
Fortunately, he was in the Heaven Stealing Cauldron at this time, and the wish power that he had not had time to absorb was diverted and stored in the white jade lotus platform. This gave him a chance to breathe and to spare some of his mind to respond to the prayer of the Water Ape Clan strongman:
"I feel your piety. Now, tell me your request."
The moment the voice appeared, the Water Ape Clan strongman immediately felt a strong divine consciousness enveloping him, which shocked him. Then he quickly took out half of the jade pendant and held it up to the sky.
"Please send this thing to my younger brother and order him to temporarily take over the position of the Grand Marshal of the Water Ape Island Army and lead the tribe to resist the Wuyue Cultists. Also tell him that if he encounters a crisis that cannot be solved, he can take the risk of awakening the Ancestral Ape." The Water Ape Clan strongman said.
In the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, Yuan Ming performed the Six Jia Qimen Secret Technique and took the half jade pendant from the Water Ape Clan strongman.
In the cave, the Water Ape Clan strongman was thinking about how the Dark Moon God should take the things away, when he suddenly saw a golden and silver light emerging in front of him, condensing into a door.
He was shocked and immediately used his spiritual sense to explore, but he could not see through the essence of the golden and silver light door at all, nor could he find the source of the power that formed the light door.
Then, an invisible force emerged from the light door, trying to take away the half jade pendant in his hand.
He subconsciously wanted to resist, but found that his own strength alone could not shake the invisible force, and he could only watch the half jade pendant fly into the light door and disappear.
"When you pray again, I will tell you the result."
Yuan Ming left this sentence and temporarily withdrew his spiritual sense from the Water Ape Clan strongman.
On the other side, Master Bai Lin and Queen Ming Kong witnessed the whole exchange between the Water Ape Clan strongman and the Dark Moon God, saw the golden and silver light gate, and also saw the Water Ape Clan strongman's resistance that ended in vain.
The reason why they prayed one by one was not only to see whether there were any traps hidden behind this transaction, but also to further judge the true strength of the Dark Moon God from the perspective of an observer.
If they still had a little doubt in their hearts until just now, now they can finally be sure that the Dark Moon God is definitely not an ordinary soul cultivator, and his true realm may even be above the Sleeping Witch.
After the prayer of the Water Ape Clan strongman ended, Queen Ming Kong and the other two did not start the next prayer immediately, but each used their own means to check the situation of the Water Ape Clan strongman, and after confirming that he had not been cursed, they completely let down their guard.
