Chapter 53: Distortion Soars
The sky was dark.
The orange-red morning glow fills the sky.
The front of the Soul Hall was already surrounded by people who came to watch the ceremony.
Only the three-car wide road in the center was left, leading directly to the river not far in front of the Soul Town.
There are already boats waiting for the festival.
In the past, no trespassing was allowed around the Soul Palace.
There will be an exception only on the day of the big festival, so the people of Xudu are particularly enthusiastic, holding all kinds of celebration props in their hands, singing in unison the songs that are widely circulated in the city, as if they are calling for something.
Winter~
The bell rang suddenly.
The golden pillar of light rose from the center of the Soul Hall to the sky.
Suddenly, the sky above the entire capital city was shrouded in this light curtain, and even the morning glow changed color, and the cheers of the people became louder and higher.

Winter~
The second bell rings.
Light golden petals began to fall from the sky, not only in a small area on the Soul Suppression Palace, but also in the entire capital city!
In fact, they are not physical objects, and they will dissipate without a trace before they hit the ground.
But even so, the sky fluttered in the morning light, the petals that shimmered with golden light, and the ethereal fairy sound that should be in harmony with the ballad.
Such immortal methods still make the atmosphere of the scene to a higher level.
Winter!!!
The third bell rang, especially long and loud.
The cheers of the people reached their climax at this time, and the doors of the Soul Hall opened to both sides.
The first thing that appeared inside the door was a handsome beast that was completely made of steam machinery technology, about five meters high, with a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and a unicorn foot.
Vapor erupted from the nostrils, the ears fell from the festive red silk and stepped out of the threshold, and various armor and flags symbolizing the underworld were draped all over the torso, shaking their heads to meet the cheers of nearly 10,000 people in front of the door.
Di Ting's footsteps did not stop, and walked towards the cruise ship moored in the river, and behind it appeared a statue of the god Yama carried by a float, different from the one enshrined in the Soul Palace, the image in front of him was a little less solemn, a little more heroic, and the posture was no longer sitting upright, but standing and looking into the distance.
This was followed by a group of underworld believers in the Soul Suppression Hall and a large number of utensils needed for the procession ritual.
Although it had only been raided by the Shintoists not long ago, the Soul Suppression Hall was still at its peak at this time, and these manpower were all temporarily transferred from temples all over the city.
There's no way, this section of the road in front of the Soul Hall is the beginning of the big festival, and there is only one time in a year, and there is no talk of repeating it.
If you can't cover everything, not to mention that the people of Xudu don't buy it, the accountability of the Three Law Divisions and the Underworld is enough for these people to drink a pot.
Fortunately, this year's festival started off well, as can be seen from the enthusiastic response from the public.
The crowd moved with the procession led by Di Ting, cheering all the way, and soon reached the boarding point by the river.
The all-metal Diting is not light, and the government has also made corresponding modifications to the ship that carries it, and the Diting is at the front after boarding, and the twelve lifting platform openings on the middle and rear decks of the same ship are opened one after another.
The 12 bronze statues of the Chinese zodiac, which have been decorated in advance, rise and fall from top to bottom, swaying from side to side.
"Playing music! Sail!"
When the teams that came out of the Soul Hall came to the ship one after another, the Yama statue also successfully stood on the deck of the extremely delicate pleasure ship in the center, and immediately someone stood on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, several pleasure boats with pavilions on the deck suddenly became temporary stages, stationed on them, and the long-rehearsed troupes and orchestras appeared one after another, showing their own specialties.
The river in the city is not wide, and the multi-layered corridors and wharves built on both sides of the city make it easy for people who cannot get on the boat to move with the procession.
The speed of the fleet itself will also slow down, ensuring that the public can see the program on the deck.
The light golden petals in the sky are still falling, and there is no intention of stopping, and what is more strange is that these petals that will disappear immediately when they fall on the ground bloom one after another when they enter the water.
This is obviously a show prepared in advance by Hades, and judging from the current situation, the effect is outstanding.
It's a pity that these shows are still reserved for ordinary people after all.
At this time, the battle had already begun in the city of Xudu, and preparations on both sides were in full swing.
As the judge with the largest number of combatants and the most elite judgment, the atmosphere is even more tense.
"The celebration started smoothly, the cruise ship is moving according to the original route, if nothing else, it will go ashore with Beichen Wharf in half an hour, and turn into the street parade stage, and the information sent back by the previous messenger is undoubtedly accurate."
In front of the sand table, several analysts looked at the miniature model of the fleet, and someone raised his hand to the lookout platform, and then moved along the street next to it all the way to the river, and then said,
"The Shinto people want to hold a feast before the action, and their goal is undoubtedly the end of the procession, which is the Wangxiang Tower, and we can properly gather the forces scattered everywhere and clench them into fists to give them a head-on blow!"
In the battle with the Shinto, the Three Dharma Divisions plus the Hades undoubtedly had the upper hand, after all, there was a ventilated message from Yan Jing in advance, and the sealing gate had been intact so far, not as damaged as the Shintoists expected.
It's just that the appearance of the alien dimension disrupted their plans, forcing the three divisions to improvise and find a way to break through this alien dimension and completely destroy the last lair of the Shintoists.
Of course, whether this ultimate goal can be achieved or not has little to do with how many people gather around Wangxiangtai, and it depends on the effect of the ceremony in the secret room of the judge.
"How's the progress of heterospatial positioning?"
In the secret room, the judge of the lawsuit, Zhong Xiang, looked at the ritual circle that was still operating at high speed, frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Tell you, my lord, the exact spatial coordinates have not yet been located, there seems to be some kind of interference from the periphery of that different space, with our current strength, it is difficult to forcibly break through, maybe with the help of the power of Hades, but in that case, ......"
Commander Xu, who was in charge of the construction of the ritual array, hesitated a little in his words.
"Forcing a breakthrough will inevitably attract the attention of the Shintoists, no, we have to think of other ways."
Although Commander Xu didn't say it thoroughly, Zhong Xiang still understood what he meant.
Again, what they want to do is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, not to startle the snake.
As Zhong Xiang's identity, he had already learned from the underworld that the alien space of the Shinto people was expanded by the Ascending Xuan Miao Realm in the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra", which belonged to the territory of evil, and it would be nonsense to say that there was no defense against the outside world.
That's the problem.
"So what do we do?"
"Keeping the ritual circle running, and at the same time transferring a group of elites within the three law divisions, since the Shinto people are going to make a big fuss about the festival, it is impossible to keep shrinking in that turtle shell, they will inevitably leave the other space at a certain moment, and that is the opportunity for us to take advantage of the void."
After a short period of thought, Zhong Xiang gave another idea.
You must know that the power of the underworld is strong, and it is not difficult to destroy the space, but if you plan to completely destroy an alien space that is very likely to have the true body of an extraterritorial heavenly demon, it is by no means possible to achieve it by relying on a few shocks from the outside world, you must first destroy the core of the alien space, or the extraterritorial heavenly demon in it.
The capital city is jubilant, and the three law divisions are solemn.
The spiritual realm is a different story.
Utter madness.
"The great cause will be accomplished, I wish you all to be ascended to immortal and live with this heaven and earth!"
Erlang God gathered the wine bottle, and shouted to the immortals in the Yao Pond with a smile on his face,
"Then the music, the dance!"
Beside him, the main members of the Shinto clan sipped their drinks and occasionally chatted and laughed, while in front of him, dozens of completely inhumanoid monsters rampaged through the Yao Pool.
They overturned the table, lay on the ground and nibbled on the residue of melons and fruits, still not satisfied, so they frantically pounced on the dancing white crane fairy nearby, tearing it into pieces of minced flesh, and swallowing the flying blood.
The white crane fairy was also eaten, and the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the Yao Pond became their new targets.
In this magnificent and beautiful fairyland, a scene more disgusting than the eighteenth layer of hell is being staged, and it is this scene that obviously satisfies the core members of the Shinto people.
Yan Jing sat behind the eucalyptus platform, leaning back and back, with his legs on the platform, as if he was watching the scene in front of him, but in fact, his eyes had already turned to the huge peach tree behind him.
This fruity, vibrant immortal plant has changed at some point.
The green leaves withered, the branches knotted into long, narrow and twisted tentacles, and a large number of indecipherable people gradually grew on the trunk of the tree.
Those "peaches" have grown into monsters.
If you look closely, you will find that they are no different from the "immortals" in the Yao Pond, not to mention lifelike, they are still screaming with hunger and thirst, as if they are desperately seeking something.
Seeing that the situation was going smoothly according to his plan, Erlang put aside the wine glass with satisfaction, raised his hand and shook it, and shouted,
"I Guan Jiangkou Erlang Zhenjun, in accordance with the edict of the Taishang Shengwei Tianzun, go out of the mountain to crusade against the capital of Hades, the great cause will be completed, all Taoist friends have been blessed with the grace of heaven, and set up a feast in this Yaochi fairyland, and now the auspicious time has come, and the disciple respectfully invites Tianzun to give the god list!"
The voice fell.
I saw a gray-black light flashing above Erlang God's head.
A scroll carrying majestic energy burst through the air and fell straight into his hand.
Suddenly, the eucalyptus platform in the Yao Pond, the wine and food disappeared without a trace, and the location of the Erlang God rose from the ground, becoming a small platform, surrounded by several flags, painted with obscure scriptures that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"Feng Taishang Shengwei Tianzun's edict, the barefoot man stepped forward to listen to the seal!"
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly rushed forward and fell to his knees.
"Seal the barefoot man as a barefoot immortal, Erqi Qin!"
Unfolded the list of gods in his hand, and the eyes of heaven opened in front of Erlangshen's forehead, as if only in this way could he see the words on the list.
There were words in his mouth, and the monster who was named the "Barefoot Immortal" trembled with excitement.
Yan Jing, who had to stand aside because he had no place, almost sneered when he saw this scene, only to feel that the group of fallen god believers in front of him had really been completely distracted by the evil spirit, so they were deceived to the extreme.
In fact, as long as you use a little brain, you can realize that if there is such a thing as a god list, then it will definitely not be Erlang God who is holding it now, and this guy is not qualified to hold the god list at all.
Of course, the monsters who have been completely manipulated by the Shinto people now obviously don't have any opinion on this.
Almost at the same time as getting the seal, a corresponding fruit fell on the "Peach Tree", and this time there was no need for any reminder, the "Barefoot Immortal" had rushed up like a vicious dog pounced, and before it landed, he took it in his mouth and swallowed it in three or two bites.
Yan Jing carefully observed the changes in the barefoot immortal after eating the fruit, and soon noticed its legs......
No, it should be the feet that are starting to swell significantly.
Some dark veins covered it, and something seemed to be brewing inside.
The next three Star Monarchs, Lei Gong Dian Mu, were in a similar situation after eating the fruit, and their own aberration characteristics all changed further without exception.
From this, Yan Jing deduced that the Divine List may not live up to its name, but it does have a buff effect on these monsters formed by the deformed followers of the fallen gods, allowing them to eat those fruits that make people feel very strange when they look at them.
Not only that, but at the same time as the unity was distorted, these dozens of immortals began to be guided by the evil energy in their bodies, and gathered around the peach tree that had been unrecognizable, allowing those wrinkled roots to pierce into their bodies.
Obviously, this is the final step in the canonization of the gods, and they will completely abandon their human identity and become "transcendental".
Yan Jing finally sensed where the power of the Shinto people really relied on in this link, and his eyes locked on the peach tree in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that there were a large number of core members of the Shinto people gathered around, Yan Jing would have opened the [Cave Void] and [Heavy Child] now to check the situation under it.
Intuition told Yan Jing that whether it was this Yao Pond or the Peach Tree, without exception, it was the means by which the extraterritorial Heavenly Demon hidden in the spirit realm disguised itself, and its body was hidden somewhere, watching the development of events in the outside world.
What happened next quickly confirmed Yan Jing's suspicions.
