Chapter 814: Countless Attempts (2)
Now, an evil thought followed the Village Viewing Platform and directly arrived at the two of them. Although they were a little caught off guard, on second thought, it was a good opportunity.
If he could use this small ball of evil thoughts to understand the characteristics and weaknesses of the evil thoughts of all living beings, he would be more confident in solving the remaining trouble.
“Everyone, be careful and don’t get entangled.”
The seven reincarnations of the Immortals and Buddhas received the order and used their methods to try to eliminate this evil qi.
Ba Xia’s gravity, Death Gate’s luck slaying, Grass Lady’s Gu worms, and Five Plague’s plague.
The specialties of the four Merit Ministers were indeed successful when facing living beings.
However, facing the residue in this pile of residue, the trash in the trash did not seem so useful.
They were the first to retreat. Fortunately, Jiang Li’s three Hall Masters still had some ability.
The Lotus Flower Child’s previous words were not overly confident.
His lotus body was indeed worthy of being a top-notch Immortal Body that could be ranked in the Divine Investiture Battle. It could even ignore the Yin-Yang Mirror that could capture souls. After his mental state was elevated, he could really be untainted by the evil thoughts of all living beings.
He held a spear and charged into the evil thought qi balls without any fear. However, the effect was also minimal.
As for the pipa woman formed from the obsession of the Nine-String Pipa Spirit, she was slightly inferior.
She hugged her main body’s jade pipa and scattered the seven strings on it. Then, she stretched out her hand and beckoned. The evil thoughts from before condensed into seven strings again.
Then, she stroked the bowstring and controlled the evil thoughts to retreat. They circled around her and could not invade within 30 feet.
However, that was all.
Qiu Shui, who was the first to be invited by Jiang Li to be the Hall Master, had the lowest cultivation among the three because he had started too late.
However, he was the only one among the three who could eliminate evil thoughts to a certain extent.
He still stood on the spot without moving. He chanted Buddhist scriptures and his body emitted a seven-colored Buddhist light. The evil thoughts that approached him were dispersed by the Buddhist light.
However, it was indeed brewed for 200,000 years! Even the Earth Treasury Buddhist Light found it extremely difficult to purify.
With that speed, it would take at least a month to eliminate the current evil qi.
By then, the continent of the Nine Provinces would probably be empty.
Ahead, another ball of evil qi headed towards Jiang Li.
He did not take out the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd. Although the halberd was powerful, it was useless if he could not hit it.
As he retreated, Jiang Li opened his mouth and spat out a ball of white flames as he looked at the ball of evil thoughts that chased after him.
The white flames collided with the black evil thoughts of all living beings and finally did not pass through it like before.
He successfully scattered the evil thoughts and burned a large piece.
Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame did not let him down.
The evil thought was formed from the remnant souls of all living beings and was still within the range of the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame.
However, although the white cold flames could burn it, they could not ignite it!
The evil thoughts that were scattered by the white flames split into eight and continued to pursue Jiang Li.
He spat out eight more balls of white flames before burning away all the evil thoughts chasing after him.
A total of nine balls of flames fused together, turning into a nine-headed snake.
The huge snake formed from the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame pounced to the ground and began to stop the remaining evil thoughts from spreading. It pounced at them one by one.
The nine snake heads reached out to bite the evil thought qi balls or spit out fire pillars to burn it into nothingness.
However, because the Ghost Lantern could not ignite evil thoughts, the speed of these qi balls was too fast. Before they could burn much, they had already spread out.
Moreover, as long as any evil thoughts entered the ghost’s body, it would completely turn evil.
Not long after, under the full force of the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, the hundreds of thousands of ghosts in the nearby area, including Jiang Li’s Yin Soldiers, had actually been completely tainted!
Therefore, the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame could only go from killing the evil thought qi balls to burning these ghosts.
However, devouring these ghosts corroded by evil thoughts and the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame actually did not obtain much energy replenishment.
With the cold characteristics of the Ghost Lantern, it could burn emotional obsessions.
However, it could only burn. Those things could not be used as nutrients.
As such, the most terrifying power of the flames was useless.
Not only could burning these beliefs not become nutrients to strengthen the flames, but it also required the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame to expend its own energy.
Moreover, the efficiency of exterminating evil thoughts was greatly reduced.
It would have been fine if there were not many evil thoughts, but the accumulation of 200,000 years in the Nine Provinces was clearly not small.
Jiang Li tried to kill those infected ghosts and see if he could eliminate the evil thoughts together.
Unfortunately, after the evil ghost was killed, it would only transform into an even larger ball of evil thoughts and continue to spread out, becoming even harder to deal with.
“Young Master, we can’t let the evil thoughts spread. There are more wandering souls over there!”
Qin Shuman, who was flying in the air with Jiang Li, provided another piece of bad news.
Just burning this ball of evil thoughts would take an unknown amount of time to spread out and corrode many ghosts.
Not to mention the evil thoughts of all living beings that were still surging up the bottomless pit.
Even if this small ball spread out, he would have to spend a lot of effort to destroy it.
“This can’t go on. There must be a way to deal with it!”
The Ghost Lantern Cold Flame was not good at range to begin with, so it was unable to stop the evil thoughts from spreading. Jiang Li could only try the other abilities in his body.
The Nine Nether Dao Technique, the power of Asura, the Liquor Fire Sword Song, the Frost Qi, the Dragon Blood Black Yellow Flame, the Anti-Cultivation Spiritual Bead in his right eye, and the blood-colored gaze in his left eye…
In order to stop the evil thoughts as much as possible, Jiang Li immediately used all his abilities.
He discovered that normal spell techniques were not really unable to cause damage to evil thoughts. It was just that the expenditure was too little and was really not obvious.
However, after trying it out, he really made a discovery.
Apart from the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, the anti-cultivation domain released from his right eye could slow down the evil thoughts, but the range was limited to what he could see.
The Human Fire in his body also had a certain effect of stopping the evil thoughts from approaching.
However, up until now, he had still not found a method that could effectively eliminate evil thoughts like the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame.
It was not until Qin Shuman beside her tentatively released an illusion technique that Jiang Li realized that he had fallen into a mistake.
Qin Shuman also wanted to help and cast her signature illusion technique. She condensed illusory balls of light and poured them down, enveloping the evil spirits below.
She wanted to see if she could use an illusion technique to temporarily appease them.
However, before they could see if it was effective, more evil thoughts swarmed over.
Balls of evil thoughts rushed into the illusion ball of light. They twisted and easily shattered it before continuing to spread out.
Although the illusions did not consume any evil thoughts, they seemed to be able to attract them.
Jiang Li got Qin Shuman to throw a few illusion balls into the air.
As expected, the nearby evil thoughts were still attracted and swarmed over.
The female ghost Qin Shuman’s illusion technique was formed with the Shu Mountain secret technique, the Illusory Art Life Record, as the core. It combined the Tu Mountain illusion technique and Jiang Li’s dream power.
What could attract those evil thoughts?
Also, why could these evil thoughts directly cross the Village Viewing Platform?
Jiang Li recalled the Illusory Life he had seen in his mind and the Tu Mountain secret technique. Seven-colored spiritual light continuously appeared in his mental world and quickly analyzed the mysteries within.
Regardless of whether illusions were brilliant or not, their essence was mostly strong mental fluctuations stimulated by spiritual qi.
Moreover, they often used beautiful emotions to lure their targets into an illusion.
The evil thought itself was actually an extremely intense emotion.
Jiang Li looked at the black balls below.
Evil thoughts did not have intelligence, but they could quickly find their target.
Moreover, individuals who had already been corroded by evil thoughts would not continue to be attacked.
How did they find and identify the target?
Perhaps it was the mental fluctuation emitted by every soul at all times!
“Give it a try!”
He took out a Dream Spirit Pearl that had been used to seal immortal qi.
Activated by spiritual qi, it emitted the dream power of billions of dead people.
The evil thoughts that scattered everywhere below indeed sensed the emotions left behind by billions of the dead in the dream.
They turned around from all directions and headed straight for the Dream Spirit Pearl.
