Chapter 436 The Great Freedom That Focuses on One Family's Misfortune
Chapter 436 The Great Freedom to Focus on the Mischief Caused by One Family
In Naniwa City, Japan, at the Hokushin Itto-ryu dojo.
"Kneel down."
With Bai Ze's command, all the members of the Hokushin Itto-ryu who had gathered in the dojo knelt down in unison.
"Greetings, Lord Bai Ze."
One after another, fervent spiritual energy was offered up and entered the appearing roulette wheel.
Bai Ze stood at the end of the dojo, his eyes slightly closed, sensing the growing power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc. His vast divine will governed it, ensuring that the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc did not lose control in the slightest.
Two days have passed.
With the emergence of the third divine enemy, the natural disaster that threatened the Eastern Xia Federation vanished silently. And on the surface, there was no trace of any news regarding the betrayal of the cultivators of the "Northern Emperor's Black Law" or Bai Ze's demonic possession.
Both the Federal Parliament and the Martial Arts Association tacitly suppressed the matter.
The former concerns the legal authority established by the Eastern Xia Federation over the past decades. In the eyes of the Federation's citizens, the practitioners of the Northern Emperor's Black Law, known as "legal machines," have assimilated with the law and become its representatives.
If they have problems, does that mean there are problems with the cases previously adjudicated by the Ministry of Justice, the Social Security Administration, and the Enforcement Department of the Martial Arts Association?
This alone is enough to create a huge wave that shakes the federal order, not to mention other aspects.
Of course, the federal government doesn't just cover things up; there are definitely undercover investigations going on.
Even if others are unwilling to touch it, the third divine enemy who has emerged from seclusion will definitely conduct an investigation.
The Federation will handle Bai Ze's demonic possession in the same way, otherwise Mu Yaoguang and the others will not be satisfied and will definitely bring Wei Shaozheng and Qi Yue's affairs into the open and start a magical battle.
Thus, at least on the surface, everything in the Federation was normal, and in the eyes of the general public, the Federation could even be said to be thriving.
As for what happens in the shadows, that's a matter of opinion.
In any case, neither Da Zi nor Mu Yaoguang will do nothing.
Furthermore, the news also reached the Mountain and Sea Realm. If the Third Divine Enemy had not emerged from seclusion, the God of War might have already returned to the Federation.
However, for Bai Ze, these are just things he is paying attention to right now, nothing more.
Bai Ze focused more on improving his strength.
In the past two days, Bai Ze has been traveling around Japan, secretly controlling members of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū and Kyokuyō-ryū schools to enhance his own strength.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation continued to grow stronger, yet it remained firmly under the control of Bai Ze's divine will.
Just as he said that day, stepping over Yingguo and the general, Bai Ze will directly complete the path before the Eight Stars.
In fact, not only Yingguo and the general, but even Da Zizai was outmaneuvered by Bai Ze this time, and Bai Ze took away his demon blood and will for free.
Bai Ze's "divine will" thus made rapid progress. He not only crossed the threshold of the Seven Stars and was able to interfere with reality, but even reached the pinnacle of the Seven Stars, with divine will permeating his brain and developing his thinking to the extreme.
As for true qi, Bai Ze truly cultivated the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique," integrating the Heavenly Demon Qi into his own Yin and Yang Qi, and refined the "Golden Elixir Blade Manual." His true qi was infinitely close to true essence, and he also reached the ultimate level.
As for the physical body, there's no need to elaborate. "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" and "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" are both ultimate techniques for developing the physical body. They also got the Great Freedom Demon Blood for free, making their strength equally astonishing.
At this moment, Bai Ze has actually reached the peak of the Seven Stars realm. It is only because he suddenly cultivated the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" and fused with the Great Freedom Demon Blood that Bai Ze needs to work on his cultivation. Otherwise, he could have already tried to break through to the Eight Stars realm.
At this moment, as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel grows stronger, Bai Ze's blood and true energy also circulate in sync, working together to harmonize with each other.
The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique and the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand complement each other, as do the Great Freedom Demon Blood and the Yin and Yang energies, and the sea of consciousness and the body that have been modified by the Great Freedom complement each other.
Yin and Yang energies flow through the meridians, the Great Freedom Demon Blood surges through the blood vessels, and within the flesh and blood, the spiritual power that penetrates deep into the cells constantly adapts to the physical body that has changed due to the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique".
"Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm" uses divine fusion to develop the five senses. Theoretically, Bai Ze is able to use his divine will to control "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique" through "Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm".
As long as the words are spoken and the law follows, and it is theoretically feasible, then that is acceptable.
Then, the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" is used to coordinate the Great Freedom Demon Blood and make it compatible with the Great Freedom Dharma Body.
As for the physical supernatural powers brought by the Great Freedom Demon Blood... Bai Ze has not yet felt them.
It's also possible that he already possessed these so-called physical supernatural abilities, so he didn't notice any changes.
"It's still too complicated. I need to further integrate, fuse, and master it." Bai Ze thought to himself as he sensed the changes within his body.
He had already figured out the method: to take the concept of "words becoming law" a step further.
From the Seven Stars to the Eight Stars, all past learning and divine will will be integrated, condensing the life soul.
When the life soul is condensed, it can already interfere with the divine will and the physical body in reality, the seven souls unite, and thus obtain that innate divine power.
However, for an awakened being like Bai Ze, his ability is a low-end version of a divine power. Generally speaking, one's innate divine power is also a sublimation of the awakened ability.
Or rather—the complete version.
Innate supernatural power is the complete version of awakened ability.
Therefore, at the Eighth Star level, the power of words should also undergo a qualitative change.
While pondering, all the techniques within Bai Ze's body operated smoothly and orderly, and all the energies ran in parallel without conflict.
"Um?"
Bai Ze suddenly sensed an unusual aura. He raised his eyes, a blood-red light flashing in them, and exclaimed, "Flawless!"
The energy around him changed, resisting that strange energy; divine light flashed, and five colors appeared.
Behind Bai Ze, five-colored divine light swept across the space, colliding with the lotus that seemed to appear out of thin air.
Immediately, a figure appeared, swept out by divine light, each step creating a lotus flower, his hands splitting into a thousand hands like Guanyin's, evolving into hand seals and manifesting countless wondrous forms.
The Vajra has two aspects: one pure and the other wrathful.
The sunlight of wisdom pierces through all folly.
The fearless Dharma sound subdues heavenly demons and heretics.
However, the five-colored divine light flowed and countered it in turn, the Vajra shattered, wisdom was obscured, the Dharma sound was silent, and all returned to nothingness.
Finally, the five-colored divine light, now imbued with yin and yang, landed on the opponent before the opponent's wondrous form could react.
"The cycle of birth and death."
Just as the divine light was about to evolve into a conflicting force, the opponent gave a soft shout, and the divine light that had landed on his body suddenly turned around, flying back towards Bai Ze.
"combine."
Bai Ze spoke calmly, his divine light returning to his body. He then turned to face the other party and said, "Using medicine and poison to determine life and death, what benefits me is medicine, what harms me is poison, what benevolent me brings life, and what hates me brings death—is this Dean Lu's innate divine power?"
As the Buddha's light dimmed and all the wondrous images disappeared, Lu Qiudi's figure, dressed in a shrine maiden's robes, was revealed.
"I thought you had already returned to Dongxia," Bai Ze said.
Not everyone believed, like Mu Yaoguang, that Bai Ze would be unaffected by the Great Freedom Demon Blood. Therefore, Mu Yaoguang told Bai Ze not to reveal the inside story to others, and not even to meet them.
Therefore, Bai Ze did not go to Lu Qiuhuo afterward to avoid causing further trouble.
After not hearing from Lu Qiudi for the next two days, he assumed that Lu Qiudi had believed Mu Yaoguang's story and that Bai Ze's fate was unknown, so she had returned to Dongxia.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiudi came to my door today.
"I was there in Heian-kyo before, and I saw with my own eyes that you fused with the blood of the Great Freedom Demon."
Lu Qiu looked at Bai Ze with a smile, "I noticed back then that you seemed different from the others, and now I see that it is indeed true. The Seven Stars were actually able to fight me and force out my supernatural powers. No wonder Da Zizai coveted you so much, and even wanted Qu Jingxuan to inject demonic blood into your body."
"How did you find me?" Bai Ze asked.
"Of course it's the scent," Lu Qiudi chuckled. "Practitioners of the *Cantongqi* can distinguish all scents; even primordial energy has a scent in your nose. However, you won't be wary of familiar scents... or scents that are already on your body, and even if you notice them, you won't care."
"My scent?" Bai Ze frowned slightly.
Does he have a smell?
Although he could use illusions to fabricate information and let his scent enter other people's sense of smell in a different way, out of caution, Bai Ze still chose to completely cleanse himself.
He had no smell.
It would be impossible for anyone to find Bai Ze by his scent.
"It's not your scent, it's Mu Yaoguang's scent," Lu Qiudi teased. "I suspect you and Mu Yaoguang are having an affair, so when we met last time, I put a scent that matches Mu Yaoguang's body fragrance on you. Sure enough, you have no sense of vigilance towards Mu Yaoguang's scent, you're probably used to it."
Bai Ze: "..."
Why are you all so gossipy?
Zhang Huayang, that old scoundrel, is like that, and so is Lu Qiuhuo, the dean of the medical school; they're all gossiping about their relationship with Yaoguang.
I think with Yujing Wuda in your hands, you're doomed.
Bai Ze took a deep breath, brushing himself with divine light to erase all scents, and stared intently at Lu Qiudi. "Since Dean Lu has shown herself, does that mean she believes I'm not under the control of the Great Freedom?"
You'd better say you believe me, or I'll beat you into believing it right now.
"Of course I believe it, after all, I witnessed Qu Jingxuan's death firsthand," Lu Qiudi said with a smile.
Qu Jingxuan, as the one who personally injected the demonic blood into Bai Ze's body, has been definitively proven to be a follower of Da Zizai. Since Bai Ze killed him, it means that he was not controlled by Da Zizai.
As for why Lu Qiuhuo had already determined that Bai Ze was not under control, but only showed up now... could she say that she couldn't actually find Bai Ze?
After Bai Ze killed Qu Jingxuan, he disappeared. Even though Lu Qiuhuo left his fragrance on him, it was difficult to find him when Bai Ze used the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.
So she spent two days wandering around Heian-kyo and Naniwa City, and finally found Bai Ze's trail.
Of course, she would never say these words aloud.
As the dean of Yujing Martial Arts University and a martial arts expert, Lu Qiudi also has the burden of being a strong person, and it's impossible for her to say that she's like a dog, sniffing around everywhere.
She subtly changed the subject, saying, "I've already contacted the vice principal these past two days. Right now, the Wang family in Yanjing, and Qu Jingxuan, are lobbying members of the Martial Arts Association everywhere, trying to find you and put you in your place."
"Furthermore, Wei Shaozheng and Qi Yue, who were reported, also claimed that Mu Yaoguang was eager to provide assistance and deceived the East China Sea base with false intelligence, causing the federal forces to be dispatched before the situation was clear, thus threatening the territorial waters of Japan."
So afterwards, Mu Yaoguang cried wolf and slandered Wei Shaozheng and Qi Yue, right?
It has to be said that these two have really mastered how to use the credentials of cultivators of the Northern Emperor's Black Law.
No need to do much more; just a few slanderous remarks are enough as a powerful counterattack.
"Qu Jingxuan has indeed been resurrected," Bai Ze said solemnly.
In fact, he already knew about Qu Jingxuan's resurrection, through his own informants and the Luoshu.
Luo Shu has always maintained contact with Bai Ze.
However, there's no need for Lu Qiudi to know these things.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Da Zizai also has the ability to resurrect the dead," Lu Qiuhuo said.
"There should be limitations. For example, life, or even the three souls and seven spirits, must be taken away before death. Otherwise, if the seven spirits are damaged, even if he is resurrected, he will not be complete," Bai Ze shook his head and said. "Moreover, Qu Jingxuan's resurrection also represents another thing. Don't forget that back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was another person whose everything was taken away by Da Zizai while he was still alive."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiudi's expression changed instantly.
There was another person who received the same treatment as Qu Jingxuan, and that was Yun Jingming.
"You mean—the Great Freedom Society will make a move against Elder Yun!" Lu Qiudi's eyes also showed a serious expression.
Even if Yun Jingming is an eight-star martial artist, he wouldn't be that valuable. But if you add Yun Cang, it's a different story.
After news of Yun Jingming's death spread, Yun Cang was completely heartbroken and stayed in the villa on the west campus of Yujing Martial Arts University all day, refusing to see anyone.
If, under such circumstances, he suddenly discovered that Yun Jingming had been resurrected, then...
Life's ups and downs are the greatest test of one's character.
Originally, Yun Jingming's death was just that—death. Yun Cang was certainly grieved, but he could understand that Yun Jingming had no choice but to die.
But what if Yun Jingming came back to life after Yun Cangxin died?
When a dead heart is infused with new life, will one's mindset also change?
This was something that no one knew except Yun Cang himself.
"It's possible," Bai Ze said. "Da Zizai specializes in exploiting people's weaknesses, and he's been eyeing the Yun family for a long time."
From the two grandsons of the Yun family, to Yun Jingming and his wife, and now to Yun Cang.
It can only be said that the Great Freedom truly lives up to its reputation as an evil god, specifically targeting one family to wreak havoc.
"I'll inform the vice principal right away," Lu Qiudi said immediately.
"While you're at it, could you also find out Qu Jingxuan's schedule for the next few days?" Bai Ze asked, seizing the opportunity.
Why are you asking about this?
"Of course, it's to give him a surprise." Bai Ze revealed a mysterious smile.
Qu Jingxuan thought he could continue to fight Bai Ze, but he didn't know that after he accepted the Great Freedom Demon Blood, Bai Ze would no longer need to put in much effort to deal with him.
