Chapter 61 Purification Journey, Undying Kingdom, Ancient Sorcerer, Descends on Japan!
Lu Ping had already guessed that the true form of the shrine maiden Tengen was a massive barrier covering Japan.
The positive energy he felt that day, and the fact that she showed no fear, no replay of memories, and no journey to the soul passage until her death in the original work, all indicate that Tianyuan's true form is neither the finger-shaped curse spirit nor the star slurry body.
She is the barrier, the [Undying Curse Spirit] itself.
The practice of Tianyuan bringing powerful sorcerers from history into the heavenly kingdom and granting them immortality can also be deduced from various clues.
but.
What Lu Ping never expected was that the [Undying] technique would have such a heaven-defying effect, granting immortals the characteristic of being immortal and indestructible, allowing them to revive an unlimited number of times before the positive energy that Tianyuan has absorbed over a thousand years is exhausted.
"Unlimited resurrections? You could say that, but it has its flaws."
Lu Suo finally finished laughing, put his head back on his skull, and said.
"With each death, the souls of the immortals merge more closely with Tianyuan, and their self-awareness becomes more distorted. After dying several times, they will become monsters that are neither human nor ghost."
"However, from the perspective of combat power, they are not weakened much after becoming monsters, and they can still use the spells and domains they had in life."
The "Undying Heaven" created by Tianyuan based on her twisted love for humanity only cares about keeping humans alive. As for what will happen after they become immortal, that is not something she would consider.
After all, she herself had long since gone mad.
"With Tianyuan's positive energy reserves, how many times could the people of the [Undying Heaven] be resurrected?"
"Enough to resurrect all immortals at least ten thousand times."
Lu Suo said calmly.
"You can think of the immortals as 'tumors' in Tengen, and Tengen is a giant cursed spirit that covers all of Japan. Every time you destroy a 'tumor,' she only needs to activate a reversal spell to heal it quickly."
The continuous absorption of positive energy and the use of reversal techniques over a thousand years have enabled Tianyuan to develop his "self-healing" abilities to a terrifying degree.
For her, eliminating these tumors in the Pure Land was like removing dead skin from the soles of her feet—a painless and insignificant task.
"However, the immortals also share a common weakness."
Lu Suo looked at Lu Ping, and the two smiled at each other, speaking almost simultaneously.
"Transformation through non-action".
Yes.
As the highest-level, most widely used, and conceptually terrifying ability in the Curse Return world, "Transformation of Nothingness" is virtually omnipotent when it comes to the soul.
The essence of an immortal is a human soul that has been fused with fragments of the shrine maiden Tengen's soul.
Simply remove the Tianyuan fragments from their bodies, and they will dissipate on their own.
Lu Ping was born to be the father of all immortals; no matter how many immortals came, he could wipe them all out with Candy Crush.
However, there is still one problem that needs to be solved.
"The number of immortals is extremely large, and their coverage is extremely wide. Even you cannot eliminate them all at once."
Lu Suo stared at Lu Ping's expression, trying to read something from his face and see if he still had any tricks up his sleeve.
Unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
Lu Ping simply stared at him calmly and revealed the memory information he had just read.
"The number of sorcerers in the Eternal Kingdom is about 30,000, with an average strength of level two or above. Combined with their immortality, even a level one sorcerer would find it difficult to defeat them."
"Furthermore, they can be transferred at any time through Tengen's [Purification Kingdom] and appear in various corners of Japan. Once they are found to have been purified on a large scale by me, Tengen will make them escape quickly."
"Yes, it is indeed quite tricky."
Lu Ping said calmly.
This is a lie.
With his current strength and the numerous techniques he has mastered, eliminating all the immortals within Japan is merely a matter of time and poses no real difficulty.
but.
Compared to ancient exorcism methods, he now has a newer and better idea to resolve this crisis in the [Purification Kingdom].
"However, it's not like there's no solution."
Lu Ping's lips curled into a slight smile as his body slowly began to float into the sky, speaking to Lu Suo, who was looking on expectantly at the ground.
"Prepare to create a protective barrier; I'm going to give the ancient sorcerers... a little modern shock!"
……
The Pure Land of Heaven, the world of souls.
The voice of the shrine maiden Tengen, like the will of heaven, is formless and shapeless, yet omnipresent, echoing throughout this realm of souls.
All the sorcerers who have received her gift and gained immortality, raise their heads now and listen to this mother's voice.
"Immortals, I... love you deeply..."
The shrine maiden Tengen spoke with a hint of yandere charm as she gazed at the immortals on the ground. The immortals, in turn, looked up at her with expressions of fervent and infatuated love.
The effects of the soul fragments have already begun on sorcerers below level one.
Even if they haven't died yet, they still instinctively cling to Tianyuan, just like... siblings cling to the brain.
"But in this world, someone wants to take this love away!"
The priestess Tengen's tone suddenly changed, her face twisted and ferocious as she gritted her teeth.
"The evil being called the 'Holy Spirit' steals the reality of eternal life and robs the kingdom of heaven; it must be...purged..."
Even before pulling Gojo Satoru into the soul portal, the shrine maiden Tengen had already made up her mind.
The Holy Spirit and saints are beings that cannot be exorcised by the modern world of sorcery.
The only thing capable of standing up to them is the Pure World Heaven, which has been nurtured for thousands of years.
Only by launching a holy war, a holy war that annihilates all the Holy Spirits and Holy Sorcerers, can she regain the world's positive energy and continue weaving her beautiful dream of a cleansed heaven.
and.
Through this holy war, she can also replenish the positive energy of those holy spirits and holy sorcerers, which may be more effective than absorbing it slowly.
It's all worth it if we can win this war.
"I command you to descend to this world and initiate... the Purification Journey."
"All for the Kingdom of Heaven, for eternal life!"
……
The Soul Channel.
"Hey, is this for real?"
Gojo Satoru stared at the five six-eyed sorcerers he had just killed, who had reformed into human form, their faces stiff and bewildered, their smiles gradually fading.
"Immortality... eternal life..."
"Heaven... is the most beautiful..."
"die!"
Among the group of six-eyed sorcerers, Mochizuki Isshin, whose willpower is the weakest, has begun to lose sight of himself.
He had already lived for nearly a thousand years, and with his death once, his soul had merged even more with Tianyuan's soul fragments. If he were to die a few more times, he would probably turn into a twisted monster.
"Wu, stop being so stubborn. In heaven, we are immortal. You will come here sooner or later. Accept all of this."
Sugawara Michizane smiled as he looked at Gojo Satoru, but deep in his eyes there was a hint of distortion.
The obsession with "immortality" is the curse of love in the name of the Tengen disease, which will be imprinted on all immortals and can never be erased.
