Chapter 938: Divine Kingdom
Deep within the belly of Mount Omikami, the Spirit Guards facing the Shiranui, who were blocking their path, were already prepared and began constructing a temporary formation.
The Spirit Guards were well practiced in this, so they soon had the formation completed. From the outside, it resembled a traditional circular formation, with talismans as its nodes. But since it was a temporary setup, its structure was rather crude. They were unable to connect the formation with the earth qi but relied on divine power to operate.
If cannons could be considered oversized guns, then formations were oversized talismans. Formations were not necessarily meant to entrap. They could also be used simply as magnified talismans.
Once the formation was complete, its nodes lit up one after another as divine power coursed through the etched lines.
The activated formation and overwhelming divine power conjured a golden bridge out of thin air, spanning directly across the blazing Shiranui flames below.
No matter how intense the sea of flames was below, it could not damage the golden bridge at all.
This was an orthodox Daoist spell known as the Taixu Golden Bridge. It was far more useful than the Yin-Yang Gate, free of many restrictions and unaffected by factors like blood qi. It could also be used freely amid fierce battle.
This technique had originally been a secret method of the Taiping Sect but had since been refined and popularized, becoming a standard method for Spirit Guards.
Li Changge was the first to step onto the golden bridge, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light that swept across.
Qi Xuansu and the others followed close behind, along with the Spirit Guards, all turning into streaks of golden light that flashed across the bridge. Clearly, this was not Li Changge’s ability but the innate power of the Taixu Golden Bridge.
After passing over the sea of flames, the group finally reached the outskirts of the shrine.
However, the Ise-jingu had laid ambushes here as well. Suddenly, countless Flying Savages emerged from the shadows, so densely packed that they blotted out the sky. But the Spirit Guards were prepared. They immediately threw out the talisman papers they had readied, which ignited upon contact with the wind and erupted into a blazing wall of fire. The ghastly beings were reduced to ashes the instant they touched the flames.
