"Brother Li, I'll keep this ordinary file. You can take the rest with you!" About an hour later, Xiao Yu slowly raised his head and smiled at Li Yifeng.
"Uh... Alright, Brother Xiao! If you need anything, just call me!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Yifeng was a bit taken aback before replying.
Although he already knew that this mission didn't require his participation, after hearing that Xiao Yu only asked him to take away one file and nothing else, it still felt strange. However, he wouldn't pry further as he understood the importance of keeping things confidential regarding a mission.
Li Yifeng picked up the top-secret files from the table and left Xiao Yu's room. He had actually prepared himself to go on a mission with Xiao Yu together, but Xiao Yu didn't mention anything about going out on a mission.
Xiao Yu could sense that Li Yifeng was different tonight; he seemed like an unsheathed sword ready for action, but Xiao Yu wasn't planning on using him.
After Li Yifeng left the room, Xiao Yu turned around and took out a few jade stones from his bag, placing them beside himself.
The moment Xiao Yu's last jade stone landed, an intangible wave instantly spread among these jade stones, gradually enveloping him within.
When Xiao Yu saw that the energy had completely surrounded him, he slowly closed his eyes. Shortly after, a ghostly figure floated out from above his head.
The moment Xiao Yu's spirit left, it glanced at his body before vanishing on the spot.
In the airspace above Tokyo City, Xiao Yu’s spirit quietly floated there as he gazed into the distance. After recalling the location of Yasukuni Shrine from the map, he teleported towards its direction.
The Yasukuni Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Kudansahi, Chiyoda Ward, Yowo (Japan). Its status is Special Shrines Designated by the Government and Represented by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The main sanctuary architecture is Shinto style, with regular festivals held from April 21st to 23rd and October 17th to 20th each year. This shrine venerates soldiers who died in the service of the Japanese Empire since the Meiji Restoration, most notably those who perished during Japan's invasion of China and the Pacific War. Its nature is akin to a memorial hall for martyrs in Chinese society.
Before World War II ended, Yasukuni Shrine was directly managed by the Japanese military and symbolized State Shinto; after WWII, following the principle of separation between religion and state, it was reorganized into a religious corporation.
Yasukuni Shrine is controversial as it enshrines 14 Class A war criminals along with over two thousand other Class B and C war criminals, making it an emblem of Japanese militarism for many East Asian countries. Yasukuni Shrine can be seen as a symbol of evil imperialism.
This Yasukuni Shrine could be described as a graveyard for Yowo's war criminals, meant to remind people of their heinous crimes. However, in recent years, it seems that Yowo has forgotten this history, and politicians still visit the shrine from time to time.
It should be noted that Xiao Yu had the memories of Zhong Kui, who hadn’t seen a place like this before. As such, Xiao Yu typically remained indifferent no matter what he saw, but seeing Yasukuni Shrine now made him visibly shocked.
The Yasukuni Shrine under the dark night bore not a single resemblance to its recorded description. In Xiao Yu's eyes, it looked like a giant magical array with each building serving as an array eye.
As Xiao Yu’s spirit floated in mid-air and observed the shrine, he grew increasingly shocked. Over time, Yasukuni Shrine had transformed into what seemed like an independent netherworld國度。
The sky above Yasukuni Shrine was filled with turbulent yin energy, surging like a tidal wave without pause, yet it couldn't break through the shrine's boundaries.
Among this chaotic yin energy were countless souls hiding and wandering about, occasionally letting out blood-curdling howls.
"What an extensive Yin array!" Xiao Yu thought inwardly upon seeing this scene.
The current Yasukuni Shrine stood as a perfect large-scale pure-Yin array built on land彙聚陰氣之地,用建築作為陣眼。此陣法可以讓無數靈魂在裡麵生存,不用擔心閻羅王的召喚,並且讓這些鬼魂在裡麵修行成長。
A place where six Yin forces converge is a step up from the three Yin force convergence area in Xiao Yu's villa. Although they only differ by one level, their effects are vastly different. Moreover, the three Yin force convergence area in Xiao Yu's villa is just a node of that larger area, whereas this place is the true focal point of where six Yin forces converge, making them incomparable.
However, it now exists in the realm of the living, causing Xiao Yu to feel secretly chilled. One must understand that the Seiryuu Shrine in its current state resembles a small netherworld, forming a country within itself.
In this country, hundreds of thousands of spirits roam freely, and Xiao Yu senses dozens of spirits who have reached the realm of Ghost Kings scattered throughout the array formation's focal point of the Seiryuu Shrine.
These Ghost Kings aren't like those claiming to be Ghost Kings that Xiao Yu has seen in the living world. Their strength is nearly on par with true Ghost Kings living in the netherworld, and each one carries a thick aura of blood and malevolence.
"War Spirits! All these spirits are actually War Spirits!" Upon sensing the blood and malevolent auras from these Ghost Kings and spirits, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly jolted.
However, he then calmed down. This place was originally dedicated to honoring war criminals; it would be normal for Japan's Great Nobles to confine the War Spirits of fallen soldiers here.
But constructing an array formation like this requires not only a multitude of materials but also all top-grade ones. Does a small island country like Japan have such financial and technical capabilities
In fact, Xiao Yu doesn't know that back then, Japan colluded with seven other countries to wreak havoc across China. Apart from ordinary armies, these nations also dispatched numerous cultivators to plunder resources; this directly led to the major sects sealing themselves off.
Of course, not everyone could see such a scene even if they were at the peak of Qi Refinement Realm like Xiao Yu's physical body. However, Xiao Yu's shade, due to its unique nature, could clearly perceive everything here.
Xiao Yu's shade floated in mid-air, tightly furrowing his brows as he stared at this ghost domain without moving a muscle. In front of this ghost domain, Xiao Yu suddenly felt insignificant.
This was the first time since inheriting Zhong Kui’s legacy that Xiao Yu had such a feeling; it was mainly due to his low level of strength. With his current cultivation level, he couldn't match up against even a small ghost realm. Of course, if one were as powerful as Zhong Kui back then, it would be another matter entirely. Back in the day, Zhong Kui’s might allowed him to roam freely between heaven and earth, let alone a tiny ghost realm.
Miao Yu is currently only at the Qi Refinement stage, although in China's Qimen cultivation world, he would be considered a top-notch master. However, in terms of pre-apocalyptic times, Miao Yu’s level of attainment wouldn't amount to much more than an entry-level disciple.
This level of power is clearly insufficient when facing off against forces comparable to a minor cultivation family. Thus, with his spirit hovering outside the Divine Toilet of Jinggu Kingdom, Miao Yu displayed a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Miao Yu never imagined that this would be the outcome upon arriving here; he had thought it might be the training grounds for Aibeiki Seihai, the Grand Yin-Yang Master. However, even if it were, so what He wasn't afraid of him, but now it seemed his thoughts were overly simplistic.
Seeing this Divine Toilet of Jinggu Kingdom, Miao Yu couldn’t even enter it, causing a sudden sense of disappointment to rise in his heart. This was the first time since inheriting Zhong Kui's legacy that he felt powerless.
Simultaneously, Miao Yu became concerned for his father; this place was where his father last disappeared, yet it presented such an unusual situation. Moreover, according to Takechi Ichiro’s memories, in the first two years after his departure from Japan, Miao Yu's father wasn't dead, as Takechi Ichiro still received some information about him at that time.
Miao Yu took a deep look at the Divine Toilet of Jinggu Kingdom and left with an unwilling expression on his face.
Full of confidence when he came to Japan, Miao Yu believed that no matter whether Zhao Lingyun was alive or dead, he would uncover the truth. However, upon arrival, he found himself unable to even enter this place.
Miao Yu's spirit slowly drifted towards the direction from which he had come, his face showing a firm resolve.
"I, Celestial Master Miao Yu, hereby swear that one day I will flatten this place!" After glancing back at the distant Divine Toilet of Jinggu Kingdom, Miao Yu secretly made a pledge in his heart.
The "Oath of the Celestial Master" cannot be broken; therefore, as long as Miao Yu doesn't die, it seals the fate of the Divine Toilet of Jinggu Kingdom.
If one speaks of genuine Qimen cultivators like Miao Yu, reaching his current level and attempting to break through is virtually impossible. In today's society with its thin atmosphere of Heavenly Essence Qi, there simply isn't enough energy for a breakthrough. Thus, at this stage of cultivation that Miao Yu has reached, it can be said he has hit an ultimate limit.d charged once more, Xiao Yu's dagger thrust forward.As it dodged Xiao Yu’s blade in mid-air and lunged towards him again, his left hand holding an amulet met its charge head-on.The zombie cat saw the...
