Chapter 324: Chapter 16 Liang Hui, Takes Action!

Thud!

A crisp knock echoed through the main hall.

Following that, one after another, Light Gates materialized around the elder.

Behind each Light Gate, a pale hand reached out.

The elder, dressed in cotton-padded clothes, spread his palm.

With a lift, a swipe!

The Light Gates instantly closed and then disappeared.

Only the Light Gate directly in front of the elder remained.

Patterns of various colors emerged on the frame of the gate, with each swirl being mysteriously profound and filled with the essence of Tao Rhyme.

These patterns constantly emitted a faint light, adorning the fingertips that reached through time and space.

Pop!

The hand, gleaming with colors, pressed on the elder’s shoulder.

A pull!

Boom!

The floor of the main hall exploded, kicking up clouds of dust.

When the dust had settled, there was not a single figure left in the main hall, only a few young Taoist priests who had rushed over from the side hall.

Beneath the statue of the Xuanyang Supreme Deity.

Liang Hui withdrew his hand, looking at the elder who now knelt on both knees.

The elder before him aged tremendously compared to just a moment ago, with an air of nearing the end of his days.

"Is this the power of the God of the Human World?"

The elder, feeling the mountainous and oceanic mighty presence, didn’t struggle.

"To control over a hundred Laws, and each one far surpasses the ghost itself, indeed invincible."

"Heh!"

Liang Hui chuckled lightly, offering no correction.

"You seem to know a lot, care to share?" The young man’s body leaned, resting against the high platform behind him, his expression lazy.

The playfulness of the moment before was merely a spice in his cultivation.

"I thought you would ask who the God of the Human World I hoped for is," said the elder.

"Does it matter?"

The young man’s response made the elder startle.

Soon after, a hoarse laugh echoed through the main hall.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"You’re right, it indeed no longer matters."

"Once you obtain the Ghost of Time, everything will be set in stone."

As time passed, the laughter slowly ceased.

The elder’s expression turned grave, and amidst the stark whiteness of his bony face, he appeared grotesque.

"Merely by relying on the nature of time, I’ve detected some bits of information."

"For instance: the Great Yu Dynasty, at some unknown time, lost a quarter of its territory, yet the entire Human World spontaneously overlooked this fact."

Liang Hui straightened up, and the lazy look on his face vanished as well.

In the blink of an eye, a miniaturized version of the planet’s surface appeared before the two of them.

The young man scrutinized the borders of Yu Country, feeling an odd sensation in his heart.

Though various thoughts insisted that Yu Country was whole and unblemished, he still sensed something amiss.

He reached out his hand and gently touched the southwestern corner of Yu Country.

There on the map was a lake, but a lake the size of a quarter of the country felt wrong to him.

"An interesting ability, that managed to deceive me."

Liang Hui sighed lightly.

Withdrawing his hand slowly, his gaze returned to the elder, signaling the latter to continue speaking:

The cotton-clad elder shook his head, chuckling softly:

"These are all I could uncover, which is why I pinned my hopes on that God of the Human World who was supposed to arrive."

"Unfortunately, your emergence has led to uncertainty about whether the supernatural era, which should have ended completely, might actually do so."

"But, it probably won’t be too bad."

The elder stretched out both hands, one stabbing towards his abdomen.

The other aimed for his right eye.

Slash! Slash!

Blood splattered.

A hazy ghostly figure and a black jade-like eyeball appeared in the elder’s palms, extended towards Liang Hui.

"The left hand is the Ghost of Time, the right hand’s pupil possesses the power to glimpse the Future, a power I’ve had since birth."

"From now on, may I trouble the Emperor to suppress demons and subdue Mo."

The youth’s eyes were profound as he extended his hand to receive the suppressed Ghost of Time and its eye pupils.

"Name."

"Zhang Kou."

As his words fell, the old man’s body had already collapsed.

The body rapidly shrank and then turned into dust.

Liang Hui tossed the Ghost of Time into the statue of the Emperor, and in an instant, it disappeared inside.

At the same time, strands of Taoism Principle concerning time began to flow into his heart, allowing the youth to comprehend at an extremely fast speed.

Afterward, Liang Hui turned his gaze toward the pitch-black eye pupil.

Once the eye pupil left the old man’s eye socket, it was no longer soft in the slightest, resembling the quality of jade.

"It looks a bit like a Magical Instrument Fragment," Liang Hui’s brows slightly furrowed.

After a close examination, he whispered in his heart:

’Enter Dream!’

Boom!

The surrounding scenery shook gently, but ultimately it remained unchanged.

Liang Hui’s eyes grew even more profound as he left multiple seals on the eye pupil and placed it into his bosom.

For a time, the main hall fell into silence, and Liang Hui once again began to contemplate the Laws.

Seven days later.

Early morning.

Luo Siyuan, Yan Jian, and a hundred other elite disciples all rushed back to the Taoist temple.

"Teacher, may I ask why you have summoned your disciples?" Luo Siyuan stepped forward and asked with a bow.

A few curious glances emerged in the eyes of the disciples standing behind the old Taoist.

"In three days, there will be disciple recruitment, raising the number to two hundred people."

"You will personally select the disciples and instruct them, as the second-generation disciples."

"Yes, Teacher."

Everyone responded, with no one objecting.

"Yan Jian, Luo Siyuan, stay behind; the rest may go and prepare."

Soon, only three people remained in the main hall.

"I have a ghost to eliminate; you two, come with me."

"Y-yes, Teacher," the two replied tremulously, full of confusion.

What kind of existence was it that warranted their teacher’s personal intervention?

Indeed, in the hearts of Yan Jian and Luo Siyuan, their teacher was a deity, an eternal and undefeated powerhouse.

Liang Hui rose to his feet, his robes undulating without any wind.

In the next moment, space rippled slightly, and a Light Gate appeared inside the main hall.

The youth stepped forward and crossed through the Light Gate.

Yan Jian and Luo Siyuan followed quickly and entered the Light Gate.

As the view shifted, the surrounding scene cleared up again, and the two found themselves atop a mountain ridge.

A slender figure stood beside a cliff, gazing into the distance.

"Teacher, where is this?" the old Taoist stepped forward and came up behind the youth.

"Yu Dynasty southwest, Jiangdu District."

"Jiangdu District?" The two wore puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Teacher, isn’t the southwest of the Yu Dynasty a vast inner lake?" Yan Jian couldn’t help but correct.

"The scene before us doesn’t resemble an inner lake at all."

"A ghost! An extremely powerful ghost!" Luo Siyuan murmured, taking his teacher’s words as absolute truth.

Only a ghost could cause such an error in their perception.

Now, thinking about the vastness of this inner lake, even he felt his scalp tingle.

Liang Hui looked at the lush forest, a scene that should have been teeming with life, yet he only felt silence and desolation.

Within a hundred li or even a thousand li, apart from plants, there was not the slightest breath of life, whether human or animal.

"Hmph! Playing the ghost!"

Atop the mountain, Liang Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward, stepped out, and thrust a punch!

Boom!

The sky shook violently, and a crimson glow burst forth from his body, filling the heavens and the earth.

Endless ripples spread out, the forests spanning hundreds or even thousands of li nearly instantly snapped and turned to ashes.

The imperious and magnificent Fistful Intent, carrying the crimson glow, was like a Heavenly River slashing across the sky, a divine peak traversing vast distances of tens of thousands of li, bearing down on a palm-sized water puddle!
