Chapter 77: Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Zenith Heaven Incantation

“Golden Light of Expiation?”

They were astounded.

They all froze on the spot one by one, as if they had seen a ghost.

Even the leader, who had been hiding in the dark, was dumbstruck.

To them, the Golden Light of Expiation was a lethal weapon that would expiate even the Ghost King, leaving its victims with no chance to explain.

That’s right, even the Ghost King would be expiated straightaway.

In the world of ghost cultivation, the Ghost King was equivalent to the cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm for humans.

The ghosts below the Nascent Soul realm would be forcefully expiated even if they were unwilling and indignant, so long as the Golden Light of Expiation was shone at them.

If it were some wild ghosts, their fate wouldn’t be too bad after expiation.

However, it was different for some ghost cultivators who had been training hard for hundreds of years and painstakingly reached the realm of Ghost General.

Who would be willing to be reincarnated?

Even if they would be reincarnated as an emperor, no one would be willing to go. Although they would face many calamities as Ghost Generals, they would at least see some hope, and some day, they might even become a Ghost Immortal.

However, after expiation, the only way out was to be reincarnated.

If they lived this life in unhappiness, why would they think about the next life?

*sizzles*

As large amounts of black smoke wafted out, the ghost appeared to be in extreme pain, as if it was being burned by flames. However, it soon returned to normal as white rays of light surrounded it, and after another stream of white light swept past it, it vanished right on the spot. It had gone to reincarnate.

It had sinned and killed before. Hence, when the Golden Light of Expiation shone on its body, it was in extreme pain and agony.

“Quick, run, this guy is really pretending.”

Some resentful spirits came back to their senses and couldn’t help but scream.

In the next moment, all the resentful spirits scattered around in a frenzy, wishing they had a few more legs so that they could run faster.

They were all terrified and frightened out of their wits, not daring to stay behind any longer.

“Don’t go, I’ll help you reincarnate. Don’t worry, it won’t be very painful, you will be fine in a moment.”

Seeing all the resentful spirits fleeing, Ye Ping couldn’t help but panic as he quickly exclaimed in a bid to persuade them to stay.

He wanted to help them reincarnate.

However, the resentful spirits were already terrorized.

Why would they dare to stay any longer?

As for reincarnation…

‘We won’t reincarnate! If we wanted to be reincarnated, we would have long ago. Why would we wait for you to do it for us?’

Seeing all the resentful spirits fleeing, Ye Ping got a little more anxious, and he frantically cast rays of the Golden Light of Expiation.

Each one he cast would consume a large amount of his Dharmic powers. Although he had an infinite amount of Dharmic powers, Ye Ping didn’t want to waste it.

However, Ye Ping decided to go all out because it was his last resort at this point.

*sizzles*

*sizzles*

In an instant, Ye Ping cast five or six beams of the Golden Light of Expiation. The resentful spirits that had been shone with the Golden Light of Expiation would immediately be overwhelmed with extreme misery, but in the blink of an eye, they would have their sins removed and be reincarnated. At the same time, the power of merit would also enter Ye Ping’s body.

That made Ye Ping overjoyed.

Some were delighted, some were sad. Ye Ping was over the moon, but the resentful spirits couldn’t stand it.

They were all frightened to the point of turning pale and some even got scared to tears as they started kneeling on the ground and wailing.

“Immortal, spare my life, we are just following orders. If you want, you may expiate our boss. He’s hiding in the northwest, please just let me go.”

“Yes, Immortal, we are just following orders. If you want, expiate our boss. He’s a Ghost Warrior. If you expiate him, you can obtain a large amount of merit. Please have mercy and let us go.”

The group of resentful spirits cried out loudly. They really didn’t want to be expiated and thus had no choice but to betray their leader.

Hearing this, Ye Ping was tempted.

‘There’s a Ghost Warrior hiding in the dark?’

Ye Ping knew of the division of realms of the ghost cultivators. The ones in front of him were only at the seventh or eighth levels and were akin to insignificant minions.

However, Ghost Warriors were different as they were equivalent to Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.

If he could expiate him successfully…

Ye Ping did not dare to think about it.

He waved his hand and dozens of beams of Golden Light of Expiation darted out, expiating the resentful spirits.

Although there was a Ghost Warrior, he wanted to expiate both those spirits and the Ghost Warrior too.

Even if they were insignificant, it was better than nothing. Besides, those resentful spirits gave him a large amount of power of merit.

In the Northwest.

Zhang Ye watched his former subordinates get expiated by Ye Ping and was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect the young and refined-looking cultivator in front of him to be able to produce the Golden Light of Expiation.

‘Is there a mistake?’

‘He’s so young and he can already produce the Golden Light of Expiation. He’s going to be splendid in the future.’

‘Damn it, is he a reincarnate of the Buddha? Or the Dao Venerable?’

Zhang Ye was speechless.

However, before he was ready to run away, he heard that he had been betrayed by his subordinates and immediately flew into a rage.

However, there was no point in being angry since all his subordinates had been expiated. Even if he wanted to vent his anger, there was no use.

At the thought of this, Zhang Ye turned around and tried to flee far. He dared not stay behind at all.

However, just as he was about to run, Ye Ping’s voice sounded behind him.

“Friend, are you in pain?”

Zhang Ye immediately got the creeps after hearing his voice and flew upwards before fleeing north.

“Friend, don’t run, I see you are full of resentment. Do you live in misery everyday?”

“Should I help expiate you? Don’t worry, it’s going to hurt at first, but it will be comfortable later.”

Ye Ping’s voice kept ringing out behind him.

That made Zhang Ye feel agonized.

He regretted messing with Ye Ping.

However, that was not the most intolerable thing to Zhang Ye. Instead, it was the fact that he liked pretending.

‘Is there a point in that?’

‘What era is it? Yet, you’re still playing such an old-fashioned trick of pretending to be weaker than you are.’

‘Can’t you be more straightforward?’

Behind him.

Ye Ping detected Zhang Ye immediately.

In Ye Ping’s eyes, Zhang Ye was full of resentment that was even more intense than all the resentment of the resentful spirits combined.

All of a sudden, Ye Ping couldn’t help but be upset.

He actually had so much resentment. Clearly, he had been mistreated greatly and put through a lot of suffering in his previous life. He felt sad for Zhang Ye.

He decided that he must expiate Zhang Ye and make him happier.

At the thought of this, Ye Ping sped up and took chase.

Ye Ping didn’t use the Sword Kinesis Flight because he wasn’t good at it. Hence, it would be faster for him to run.

He still had the Ancient Godfiend body and his physical body was no longer ordinary.

As Ye Ping enhanced his legs with Dharmic powers, he ran as fast as the wind, and his speed was on par with Zhang Ye.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t run. I’m a good person. I’m here to help you cleanse your resentment and grievances so that you can be a ghost again.”

Ye Ping chased after him and said loudly.

“Immortal, I was blind to have offended you. Please be kind and magnanimous to spare me. I promise I won’t do anything sinful again from now on.”

Zhang Ye sobbed. He was now shivering, especially since Ye Ping was about to catch up to him, which was making him even more horrified.

“Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood, I’m not angry with you. I’m a cultivator of the righteous Dao. I saw how pitiful you are and decided to help expiate you. Trust me.”

Ye Ping answered.

“Immortal, I’m fine now. I don’t need to be reincarnated, thank you for your kindness. Please just let me go. How about I bring you to the Ghost King? There’s no point in expiating a small ghost like me. If you can expiate the Ghost King, you’d be impressive and gain an infinite amount of merit.”

Zhang Ye said loudly, even wanting to take him to the Ghost King.

“There’s a Ghost King too? Okay then, Fellow Daoist, stop running and take me to the Ghost King. We’ll expiate him together and split the merit equally between us. Don’t worry, we won’t harm you. Our sect is famous and I won’t deceive you.”

Ye Ping said.

However, Ye Ping was not a fool and knew exactly how competent he was. He definitely wouldn’t expiate the Ghost King.

They were on completely different levels. So what if he had the Golden Light of Expiation?

“Immortal, quit joking, please just let me off. I’m begging you.”

Zhang Ye said while running with a dismayed expression.

He didn’t believe Ye Ping at all.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re being too senseless. I’ve already made a promise and you still don’t believe me? Don’t blame me then.”

“Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.”

“Zenith Heaven Dharmic Incantation.”

“Ksitigharba.”

“Prajñā Buddha.”

“Prajñā Padme Hūṃ.”

Ye Ping roared and mobilized all his Dharmic powers. In an instant, he seemed to have been gilded in gold as he charged towards the fleeing Zhang Ye.

“Ah!”

A miserable shriek sounded.

In the distance, Zhang Ye fell to the ground, screaming in horror.

The Golden Light of Expiation engulfed him and masses of black smoke wafted out of his body.

The black smoke represented sins. He had once sinned greatly, and now, he naturally had to bear with the punishment.

Ye Ping looked at everything.

He didn’t show any sympathy at all because it was a tribulation that Zhang Ye had to go through. He had to be punished for his misdeeds and since it was an expiation, he couldn’t reincarnate comfortably.

That was the law of nature.

Since he had committed sins, he had to expiate and be cleansed of his sins, which was a painful process.

If one didn’t commit heinous sins, they wouldn’t be in misery.

Just like that, fifteen minutes passed.

Finally, the black smoke on Zhang Ye’s body vanished.

Immediately afterwards, a pure power of merit entered Ye Ping’s body.
