Chapter 553 Sixth Order
Located south of Beiganzi Mountain in Luandu County, Feima Camp is nestled against the mountain and faces the water, not far from the foot of Suolong Branch Mountain.

Two large gray-white tents were set up in front of the camp gate, and hundreds of new recruits lined up in two rows outside the tents, waiting for their identities to be registered and verified.

Inside the tent on the left, Xie Ji sat behind a long table.

He held the spirit-searching disc and waved it at the middle-aged man in brown robes in the middle of the tent. Then he lowered his head and stared at the palm-sized, emerald-green disc carefully.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the Search God Plate, he looked at the documents of the Pegasus Camp next to him.

"This person is fine, you can let him go."

The clerk in leather armor nodded upon hearing this, inquired about and recorded some family background information, and then had a soldier lead the middle-aged man out of the tent.

Through the lifted curtain, Xie Ji looked at the long queue outside and couldn't help but frown slightly.

It was freezing cold, and checking new recruits in this drafty tent was really not a pleasant experience.

But he still volunteered to come here because there was an even bigger problem hidden in the branch hospital on the mountain.

He looked down and fiddled with the Search God Disc, his mind swirling with all sorts of thoughts.

"I wonder who that person impersonating Zhong Han is. His methods are truly ingenious, allowing me to use the seven emotions around me to strengthen the spirit of the fetus."

"But this benefit is obviously not without a price; life and death are probably now in the enemy's hands."

"We can't afford to offend them, we really can't afford to offend them."

"We'll hide in the Pegasus Camp for now, and then we need to find a chance to return to the capital as soon as possible."

Just then, a familiar voice appeared in my ear.

"Name?"

"Zhong Han".

"Place of origin?"

“My hometown is Changxi County, Yiyang Prefecture. I came to Luandu County to visit relatives and have been living in Fengbaofang in the city for three years now.”

Xie Ji suddenly looked up, and a familiar smiling face came into view. As if noticing his gaze, the other person even winked his left eye at him.

Xie Ji: "..."

That ghost is relentless!
He stared intently at the Search God Panel for a long time but found nothing unusual.

What a pity.

If only this guy had something to do with him, we could have the Pegasus Camp swarm him and take him to the authorities!

Despite feeling regretful, he had to pretend to be normal and nod to the clerk beside him: "No problem, let him go."

Chen Mu immediately bowed to the two men with a smile, and followed a soldier in red and brown armor as he left the tent and entered the Pegasus Camp.

He had been waiting for the Pegasus Camp to recruit soldiers. Once the wall for the Suolong Academy branch was finished, he immediately came to sign up under Zhong Han's identity.

Zhong Han was a secret agent for the Xie family, but precisely because of this identity, his background and travel documents were very well prepared. His interpersonal relationships in Luandu County were also simple, which was perfect for his disguise.

He even went so far as to sneak into the City of Thousand Lanterns and catch the real Zhong Han for a thorough interrogation.

This time, he easily passed the initial screening for new recruits and successfully entered the Pegasus Camp.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Xie Ji here.

It was fate.

……

As Chen Mu entered the camp gate, he immediately saw the white jade cauldron in the center.

At this moment, wisps of white mist were rising, and the unseen incense energy was also flying out with the white mist, enveloping the entire camp.

"After so many days of hard work, we've finally made it to Tiandu Lake openly and legitimately." Chen Mu smiled.

Tian Du Tan usually only provides incense and vital energy. If one wishes to use it to stimulate the blood essence of the underworld gods, one must perform a specific ritual of worship.

That's why he impersonated Zhong Han and joined the Pegasus Camp.

"The Pegasus Camp is a training camp for new recruits, where they will be taught the Qingnang Manual. In the end, the Heavenly Capital Pool will definitely be opened to help new recruits condense blood sacs and enter the realm of the Underworld God Transformation."

"At that time, I can hitch a ride and completely master the Qingnang Chapter. In this way, I can free my physical body from the constraints of the Investiture of the Gods and leave the Great Qian Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but turn back and glance at the white jade cauldron again.

"The Qingnang chapter is not difficult; I expect the Tiandu Pool will be opened in the camp soon."

"A great day is just around the corner!"

……

half a month later.

In a barracks on the east side of the Pegasus Camp, a chubby boy with a round face, about eighteen or nineteen years old, approached Chen Mu: "Brother Zhong, how do you pronounce this character?" Chen Mu glanced at it and said expressionlessly, "This is Yan, the Yan of Yama, the Yama Emperor. Liang Dabao, I've already taught you this character three times."

The chubby Liang Dabao immediately blushed and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhong. Once I've earned military merits and received my pay, I'll definitely invite you to Yicui Tower for a meal and some music."

"Come on, if you can memorize the Qingnang Chapter soon, I'll treat you to a meal and a song!" Chen Mu rolled his eyes helplessly.

He thought the new recruits would quickly master the Qingnang Manual, and before long, he would be able to hitch a ride to Tiandutan.

But I never expected... I never expected that these greenhorns couldn't read!
If you can't read, you can't understand the Qingnang Chapter. If you can't recite the incantations in the second part of the Qingnang Chapter, the Pegasus Camp simply won't be able to open the Tiandu Pool!

"I miscalculated..."

Of the more than 500 people, fewer than 50 were literate. Chen Mu, because he could read and write, was even promoted to squad leader.

"If only we could implant the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into these people, we might be able to directly pass on the experience of the Qingnang Chapter to them."

“Unlike now…” Chen Mu’s face darkened as he looked at their behavior of forgetting what they had learned before.

"I really want to split their heads open and stuff the scriptures inside!"

Glancing at the new recruits who were stumbling and stammering as they recited their lessons, Chen Mu sighed helplessly, "I guess I'll just have to teach them slowly..."

Then he led a few people to read a passage, and had them pair up to supervise each other in memorizing it.

Chen Mu leaned back in the corner of the dormitory and slowly closed his eyes.

With a thought, the gray wall appeared before my eyes.

Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: 8669/10000/Fifth Order;

During this time, whether he was learning the Qingnang Chapter from Li Buxian or working as a bricklayer at the Suolong Academy, he never relaxed his cultivation of the Lingbao Shuji Chapter.

The farther the power of the Taoist temple radiates, the farther he can use the energy of the temple to locate himself and the greater the distance he can travel using the Yellow Springs Crossing technique to shrink his body and move.

"Ideally, one should be able to reach the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and once the physical body is freed from the constraints of the Daoist temple, be able to teleport there in one breath."

"This saves us from having to travel across the Great Qian Dynasty, which greatly reduces the risk of being discovered by the Dragon Locking Academy."

Surrounded by the stumbling chanting of sutras, Chen Mu, as always, quickly immersed himself in the Lingbao Pivot Chapter.

……

The days and months passed, and another ten days or so went by.

Chen Mu's squad of new recruits had basically memorized the second part of the Qingnang chapter, but unfortunately the other squad members were progressing slowly, so he could only wait.

That afternoon, the new recruits in the barracks continued to familiarize themselves with the Qingnang chapter, while Chen Mu, as usual, sat on the edge of the large dormitory bed, closing his eyes to gain experience.

At one moment, a buzzing sound came from my head, my consciousness was instantly elevated, the surrounding light and shadows dimmed, as if my soul had left my body and I was standing in the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a bright star suddenly appeared on the dim ground beneath their feet. The star seemed to beat like a heart, twinkling and sending out ripples of light in concentric circles.

Wherever it passed, countless tiny stars appeared. Some of them had been connected into a net by bright silver threads, while others were just scattered around alone.

The next moment, countless silver threads suddenly shot out from the central star, like a fisherman casting a net, easily catching the three small stars not far away.

Before Chen Mu could figure out what was happening, his vision blurred and his consciousness plummeted. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his consciousness had returned to the Divine Statue Cave and was now inside the Heavenly Demon's body.

A little observation revealed that the power of the Taoist temple had expanded again. In addition to the three counties of Jiangyang, Yutang, and Longxi, the power of the temple had radiated southward and connected three more counties.

Chen Mu's heart stirred, and a gray wall appeared before his eyes.

Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: 25/10000/Sixth Order;

"really!"

"It's a pity that the dojo's influence is expanding southward."

The three newly added counties are all located south of Luandu County. Two of these counties did not even belong to the Great Qian Dynasty more than half a year ago; they were counties under the jurisdiction of the Southern Shu Kingdom, which had just been conquered.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains are in the east, and it would be difficult to extend our reach to their outer edges," Chen Mu shook his head and sighed.

He came to his senses at this moment. The star-like points he saw with the help of the power of the dojo when he was advancing were probably city god temples.

Those connected in a network indicate that they are already under the influence of other dojos. Only those scattered in the surrounding areas can be linked together.

The counties of Yiyang Prefecture were basically covered by the power of the City God Temple in the prefecture, so he could only expand southwards towards Shu.

“Going south won’t get you to the Ten Thousand Mountains.” Chen Mu frowned slightly.

"Hmm... perhaps we could extend it to the far south, all the way across the border of Southern Shu, and take a look at the territory of Eyang Road." A thought popped into his head.

"Goose Sheep Path is one of the seven paths in Yunzhou. It has been in Daqian for a year or two, and there have been no rumors of its destruction or disbandment. It may still be standing on Goose Sheep Mountain."

"As a Taoist sect comparable to the Chicken Cage Sect, it must have a secret method for refining the River Chariot and forging the foundation of the Tao."

"If I could infiltrate them..." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.
