702: Chapter 702 Seven Treasures Guardian Formation

This brat Jing Ming has a First Grade Spiritual Root and also possesses the Yin-Yang Nether Fetus Spirit Body. He has been able to Cultivate since he was young, and at only twelve years old this year, he has already reached Qi Refining Perfection, ready to forge his dao foundation at any time.

In terms of talent, even adding in those offspring with Yao Race Bloodlines, only Jing Zun can consistently outshine him.

"Jing Ming, you go play with your brothers and sisters first. I need to discuss something with Auntie Ghost King Lian Yue and the others." Liu Xuan rubbed his head and said, feeling a slight sense of guilt.

Such an outstanding and adorable child—as a father, it was one thing that he didn't spend enough time with him, but he hadn't even thought about the fact that his child was in a dangerous situation.

Liu Xuan felt somewhat guilty, but this matter couldn't be blamed entirely on him; he had too many children, and no matter how good his memory was, he couldn't take every aspect into consideration.

"Okay, Dad!"

Jing Ming obediently ran out of the hall. He was not very close with his brothers and sisters and did not want to play with them; he only wanted to see Aunt Miao and share the interesting things that had happened recently with her.

Aunt Miao was very good to him, and every year when he returned, he would go to visit her.

However, he would soon be disappointed, because Aunt Miao was not in Biyou City right now, but had gone to the East Sea...

After Jing Ming left, Liu Xuan looked at the Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King Clone below, "I heard your situation hasn't been good lately?"

Before Ghost King Lian Yue could open her mouth, You Ruo knelt down first, saying with a sobbing tone, "Husband, I beg you to save Master this time!"

Liu Xuan frowned slightly. Ignoring You Ruo's actions, he kept his eyes on Ghost King Lian Yue, "Since you were able to escape with a Clone, why didn't you just flee with your true form?"

If the Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King was unwilling to part with the Black Death Marsh, Liu Xuan would be powerless to help her even if he wanted to.

Ghost King Lian Yue sighed and shook her head, "It is not that I don't want to, but that I cannot."

"My true form is being watched by three Buddhas from the Buddhist Sect, so I have no chance to escape. The Clone is different; even if it escapes, it won't have any impact."

Liu Xuan nodded slightly but was still somewhat puzzled, "As far as I know, you have managed the Black Death Marsh for thousands of years, and there are countless ghost Cultivators within the marsh. You should even be able to handle a Late-stage Spirit Transformation Great Cultivator, so why can't you even manage to escape?"

Liu Xuan could understand if the Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King couldn't hold onto the Black Death Marsh, but he couldn't understand why she couldn't even escape.

The main force of the Buddhist Sect was still locked in a death battle with the Dao Court in the Western Desert's Boundless Paradise. It was impossible for them to mobilize too many people here. They were merely three Early-stage Soul Transformation Buddhas; even with the help of Great Sage Taisui, it shouldn't have been enough to deny her any chance of escape.

One must know that this is the Southern Border, where the order of heaven and earth is complete and intact. Even Great Sage Taisui would have to consider whether it is worth it before going all out.

Ghost King Lian Yue gave a self-deprecating smile, "Being comparable to a Great Cultivator is ultimately not the same as being a Great Cultivator. A Middle Stage Soul Transformation is always a Middle Stage Soul Transformation!"

"The Buddhist Seven Treasures Heart-Guarding Formation is extremely restrictive to me. The yin fiend of the Black Death Marsh is suppressed by the Buddha light, making it very strenuous for me to drive it. If it weren't for the fact that we ghost Cultivators are useful to the Buddhist Sect, I might already be dead."

"Senior!"

Ghost King Lian Yue bowed solemnly to Liu Xuan, a glimmer of hope shining in her eyes, "After thinking it over, you are the only one who can save me now, Senior. I beg you to help me!"

"As long as you take action, Senior, I will agree to any condition."

Agree to any condition... Why did that sound so familiar to Liu Xuan?

He was still too kind! Every time he heard such pleas for help, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Agree to any condition?"

"If I want you to become my Concubine just like You Ruo, serving me for the rest of your life, would you be willing?" Liu Xuan asked.

"I... am willing!"

The Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King agreed very readily, almost without hesitation. Having been in contact with Liu Xuan for so long, how could she not know what was on his mind?

As things stood, she actually regretted it a little. She had originally intended to cling to Liu Xuan's thigh, but due to her personality, she had kept dragging it out and hadn't taken the initiative to speak up; otherwise, today's situation wouldn't have come to pass.

"Very well!"

Liu Xuan nodded, signaling her to help the still-kneeling You Ruo up, then rubbed his brow and said, "I can only say I will try my best. I cannot guarantee whether I can save you; you must be mentally prepared."

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Thank you, Husband!"

Ghost King Lian Yue and You Ruo said simultaneously, their faces showing surprise and joy.

"According to what you said, the main thing trapping you is the Buddhist Seven Treasures Heart-Guarding Formation. Let's go; follow me and let's go see the specific situation first," Liu Xuan instructed.

"Wife, you stay at home and wait for me, do not follow!" After giving instructions to Big Sister Peach Blossom, who had been watching them, Liu Xuan took the Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King Clone and fled in the direction of the Black Death Marsh.

...

A moment later.

High in the sky near the Black Death Marsh, two figures suddenly appeared above the clouds—they were Liu Xuan and the Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King Clone.

The Black Death Marsh was vast and boundless. Liu Xuan had been here a few times before; previously, this place was like a sea of black, shrouded in dense yin fiend and ghost energy, never seeing sunlight throughout the year.

Now, looking down from high altitude, the yin fiend ghost mist, which previously had no visible boundaries, was reduced to only a thin layer. Golden Buddha light merged with the sunlight, changing from light to dark as it gathered toward the depths of the Black Death Marsh.

"Senior, this is the Seven Treasures Heart-Guarding Formation. Do you want to see it more clearly?" Ghost King Lian Yue asked.

"What do you mean..."

Ghost King Lian Yue did not answer, but pointed into the distance.

A moment later, a Lianyue Immortal Palace rose from the distance and collided with the golden Buddha light.

"Hum~"

The golden Buddha light shook violently. Seven beams of light, with Buddha light so dense it reached the extreme, appeared above the Black Death Marsh. The beams of light converged, instantly suppressing the Lianyue Immortal Palace.

"What a strong aura!"

The seven Formation eyes of this Seven Treasures Heart-Guarding Formation were each guarded by a Fifth Grade Spirit Treasure. The aura of one of them even reached Fifth Grade High Grade, and the Buddha light within contained the power of extreme Yang, specifically designed to restrain yin fiend and ghosts.

In addition to the seven Spirit Treasures, Liu Xuan faintly sensed three vast auras presiding over the Formation. It was no wonder Ghost King Lian Yue couldn't even manage to escape.

Liu Xuan did not stay in one place; he took Ghost King Lian Yue around the periphery of the Black Death Marsh to investigate, clarifying the details of the Formation.

After changing positions several times, Liu Xuan suddenly discovered a Buddhist temple appearing below.

The Buddhist temple seemed to have been built recently, as it looked new in every aspect. Its Foundation was connected to the earth veins, and countless ghost Cultivators were suppressed beneath the temple.

Liu Xuan stopped to observe for a while. Some bald Buddhist Cultivators would first use a special Formation of Buddha light to purify the ghost spirits' intelligence, then seal the mindless ghost Cultivators into a type of special Medicinal Pill, and then swallow it in one gulp.

At the same time, some Buddhist Cultivators went into the depths of the Black Death Marsh, while others returned from within, each time grabbing some ghosts and sending them under the temple to be suppressed.

"Refining ghosts directly into Medicinal Pills—it looks like the results are quite good. No wonder they surround but do not attack!"

Liu Xuan was moved by what he saw, but Ghost King Lian Yue was filled with anger. She transmitted her voice, "Please, Senior, you must take action, not just to save me, but also this countless ghost Cultivator clan."

Liu Xuan ignored Ghost King Lian Yue and continued to take her around the periphery of the Black Death Marsh.

After circling the entire Black Death Marsh, Liu Xuan sighed, "This is difficult to handle!"

"Although this Seven Treasures Heart-Guarding Formation cannot be considered subtle, it has a full seven Spirit Treasures. For the moment, I don't have any good solutions."
