Chapter 336 Five Fetal Injuries, Yang Jiao Enters the Formation
She could only nod.
However, I reckon he's playing mahjong with these guys at the Investiture of the Gods platform.
Sunrise and sunset, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Jiao was even more curious about what the Ten Deadly Formations looked like inside, as the formation was being set up all night long and the basic structure was just taking shape.
Just as they reached the entrance, Yunxiao suddenly grabbed their arm.
"Don't go."
Yang Jiao was puzzled.
"It's not fully formed yet, so why not take a look?"
Yunxiao shook his head again and said resolutely:
"From today onwards, you are no longer allowed to go in."
During the previous pile driving, Yang Jiao walked through the area countless times, even checking every bend, and never saw the Three Immortal Maidens stop her.
But now they're so resolute, could there be something fishy going on?
Seeing Yang Jiao's curiosity, Yunxiao, fearing she might peek, could only solemnly say:
“There are five hundred evil spirits inside; you must not look at even a single one.”
Fetal affliction?
Yang Jiao was taken aback:
"The soul of an infant?"
"No." Yunxiao's face was heavy. She sighed softly and looked at the scene with regret: "A born killer."
"These are the 'mother and child stigma' of a pregnant woman who died tragically after her child was born more than seven months into her pregnancy and had a vengeful spirit in the womb. The Heavenly Dao says that there is birth and death, but these people have no birth and no reincarnation. These five hundred spirits are already lying on the wooden stake, which is very dangerous. You should not even look at them."
After hearing this, Yang Jiao simply couldn't believe that the Three Immortal Maidens would kill five hundred women who were already seven months pregnant just to set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.
And they would also have to die a horrible death.
This is something that Yunxiao, who is so respectful of his teachers and devoted to diligent cultivation, would never do.
She grabbed Lady Yunxiao's hand in return and said urgently:
"Why would you collect such insidious and malevolent energy? If you were to become tainted by it, the karmic consequences would be immense."
Seeing the concern on the little girl's face, Yunxiao reached out and gently pressed the pearl in her hair, saying with a touch of pity:
“The suffering of the fetal evil is too great. They are not born, they die in the womb and cannot be reincarnated. The mother's soul cannot leave her young child and cannot escape. They have no place to stay in the Three Realms. I feel really sorry for them. The initial purpose of the Yellow River Formation was just to find a place for them to stay.”
Yang Jiao fell silent for a moment.
Is this the reason why the Three Immortal Maidens were later honored as "Responsive and Worldly Immortal Goddesses"?
To take charge of the world's reproduction.
Yang Jiao murmured again:
"The cause and effect are too great."
The cause and effect of this Yin energy did not lie with Lady Yunxiao. They died tragically before their child was born, and since they were not subject to the laws of life and death of the Heavenly Dao, they could not enter the cycle of reincarnation. However, Lady Yunxiao took them in to reduce their suffering, thus taking on their karma herself.
If Yunxiao hadn't found it himself in the Three Realms, such a soul might have been devoured by wandering demons and monsters to increase their power.
They suffered greatly in life, and after death they were unable to be reincarnated; even as ghosts, they were devoured.
People like the Three Immortal Maidens must not die!
Yang Jiao's gaze fell on Jinzha and Muzha.
The time when we'll need them is fast approaching.
Yang Jiao rarely smiled at them, which made the two of them break out in a cold sweat.
She knelt before Jinzha, the golden thread formed from his magical power tied to the entrance of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Yang Jiao gripped his chin and whispered in his ear:
"You're not so useless after all."
It is an honor for a heartless person to die for a compassionate one.
……
The half-month period passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Jiao had already summoned the Mosquito Taoist to inform Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, and others in the Western Paradise.
Originally, it was Daoist Yun Zhongzi who was supposed to wear a mask and enter the formation in place of True Man Yu Ding. However, he was suddenly summoned to Yu Xu Palace by Yuan Shi Tian Zun the day before yesterday. When Yang Jiao received Daoist Yun Zhongzi's message, he said that he was already refining the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar and could not get away.
As a righteous god of pure bliss, and with the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao guarding the entrance, Yang Jiao would certainly not be able to enter that formation.
They had no choice but to hurriedly seek out the Mosquito Taoist to find Maitreya.
The battle is about to begin, but Mosquito and the others haven't returned yet.
At this moment, the Three Immortal Maidens of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation stood before the formation, and Bixiao asked loudly:
"Probe the formation or break it?"
Even though the Antarctic Immortal was standing very far away, he sensed the danger within the formation and urgently said:
"This formation is likely extremely difficult. I will inform my master before making a decision. You must not go on your own."
Having said that, he mounted the white deer and hurriedly flew towards the Jade Void Palace with the White Crane Boy.
Only the Daoist Ran Deng, who held the highest position, remained. Seeing that Yunxiao and the other two were also quite troublesome, he did not reply.
Seeing that they were all silent, the Three Immortal Maidens, Qiongxiao, scooped up Jinzha and tossed him into the formation. After a scream rang out, she smiled and grabbed Muzha, tilting her head to ask:
"If he doesn't speak up soon, this kid will have to be thrown in too."
Samantabhadra reaches out his hand,
"Do not harm the younger generation."
Yunxiao laughed after hearing this:
"Indeed, what skill do you have in injuring a few juniors? Then you can do it!"
Having said that, he immediately summoned the Primordial Golden Cauldron, and the square magical artifact instantly absorbed all the members of the Chan Sect into it.
Daoist Ran Deng sensed something was wrong and immediately transformed into the wind before the gale struck, narrowly avoiding it.
Yunxiao snorted coldly, turned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron upside down towards the formation, and with a shake, all twelve Golden Immortals fell into it.
With a swift movement, she pulled Yang Jian out from among the dozen or so people falling like swarms of gossamer, then tossed him aside and snorted:
"Cultivation is not easy, I'll let you off this time."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Jiao, who was perpetually perplexed, on the cloud.
Ok?
Yunxiao suddenly paused, his expression changing drastically:
Where is Yang Jiao?!
She looked around, but couldn't see a single shadow.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian also became anxious. Then, after a moment's thought, his gaze suddenly fell on the entrance of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
A hint of anxiety flashed across his usually stern face.
"sister!"
Then, in a flash, he entered the formation.
Yang Jiao never expected that Lady Yunxiao would wipe them all out in one fell swoop. In desperation, she had no choice but to follow her into the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. If Master Yuding were to suffer even the slightest mishap, she would not survive either.
Even though Yang Jiao knew all ninety-nine bends of the Yellow River Formation by heart, he was still astonished by what he saw as soon as he entered the fully formed formation.
In the formation, 365 wooden stakes stood amidst the billowing yellow sand.
The scene was blurry and indistinct, as if one were being swallowed up by a giant beast.
Six hundred soldiers stood frozen in various corners of the formation, holding five-colored banners, from which a faint light occasionally emanated.
"Waaah, waaaah..."
The baby's cries rang out from the wooden stake, once, twice, three times...
"Waaah, waaaah..."
"Waaaaah..."
Inside the formation, the cries of infants filled the air, interspersed with the faint sobs of women.
Yang Jiao felt a chill run down her spine.
The entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was filled with the aura of death.
This time!
A dark shadow suddenly flashed past Yang Jiao from behind, so fast that only a blur could be seen.
Yang Jiao quickly turned around, but saw nothing.
But in the instant she turned her head, the infant demon was face to face with her, so close that their noses could almost touch...
Outside the formation.
Mosquito Taoist arrived with Maitreya and Ksitigarbha, only to find the place empty. Her heart tightened.
"The mosquitoes have lost Yang Jiao again..."
Maitreya and Ksitigarbha were both greatly alarmed:
"The two weakest ones have gone in!"
