I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 210 The Fifth-Level Acting Holy Judge!
Above the wilderness, the cold wind howled, stirring up a cloud of dust mixed with a strong smell of blood, as if whispering about the brutal battle that had just been experienced.

The sky was dark, and the moonlight shone through the thick clouds, casting a bleak glow, illuminating the bodies of the Moon Demons lying all over the ground.

Li Qingyun retracted his Yin Spirit and stood in front of the two corpses of the demon kings, his eyes deep and firm.

He divined secretly, then quickly walked towards the Demon Lord's huge head, turned his palm into a knife, stabbed it accurately, and took away the magic crystal.

These two magic crystals are completely different from the colorful magic crystals of the Fifth Realm Moon Demon. They are crystal clear, pure and flawless, emitting a faint hazy glow. Holding them in the hands is like a bright moon.

At the moment when Li Qingyun grasped the magic crystal, the Buzhou Divine Mountain in his body made a slight humming sound, as if craving for something.

However, the next moment, gray fog filled the mysterious palace, instantly suppressing the unusual movement of the Buzhou Divine Mountain.

Li Qingyun realized something and calmly put the magic crystal into the Buzhou Divine Mountain for safekeeping.

After doing all this, he was about to take a break to catch his breath when he suddenly noticed several burning gazes.

Looking back, he saw that everyone was staring at him, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhang Mingyi took a deep breath, and the shock in his heart was beyond words:
"Perhaps, you are more suitable to be this Daozi than me..."

He always had a high opinion of himself, and originally did not take this person who was suddenly chosen as the successor to the Daozi seriously.

The other party is young and has little experience. He just got a copy of the heavenly book by chance. How can that compare with my decades of hard practice?
I never expected that reality would be so cruel.

This young man, whom he regarded as a junior this morning, not only saved his life, but also killed two demon kings, demonstrating his strength that was superior to those on the Earthly Demon List.

Even if he was not injured and was in peak condition, he was not sure he could withstand the young man's iron fist that was as heavy as a mountain.

"Junior brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Shouzhen scolded softly, giving Zhang Mingyi a way out, then turned to Li Qingyun and asked with concern:
"Ren'an, how is the situation at the Prince's Mansion?"

Li Qingyun glanced at Zhang Mingyi and nodded slightly:
"My master and I have wiped out all the moon demons that sneaked into the Prince's Mansion, without any casualties. My master and his men are guarding there, and sent me here to check on your situation."

After saying this, he glanced at the corpses of the Moon Demons scattered all over the ground, feeling a little regretful.

These are all precious energy and blood, and they are wasted like this...

"You're amazing! I thought I had overestimated you enough..."

He Xiangu supported herself on the ground, sat up with difficulty, and sighed softly, "...I didn't expect you could bring me a bigger surprise."

At a young age, he had already become a Yin God and was able to kill two powerful demon kings with his own hands.

Even though the Demon Lord is at the end of his strength, his courage and strength are enough to be admired.

After all, if it were an ordinary fifth-level cultivator, even if the Demon Lord stood still as a target, he might not be able to break through his defense.

In the final analysis, cultivators at the sixth realm were already infinitely close to being gods; what they lacked was only the illusory godhead.

The gap between them and the fifth-level cultivators is sometimes even greater than the gap between the fifth level and the first level.

Li Qingyun smiled faintly and said modestly:

"Thank you for the compliment, sister. Both of these moon demons were seriously injured. I was just lucky enough to have missed out."

He Xiangu gently held her forehead, with a smile in her eyes and a hint of ridicule:

"I say, how much do you look down on the Demon Lord of the Sixth Realm? Go ask your ancestors, even in their prime, if they could fight one of them alone?
"If it were me, I would have been eager to show off after doing something so earth-shattering. I don't believe that you are not excited at all.

"Tell me now, you've saved so many of us, what do you want? Even if you make some unreasonable requests, I can satisfy you!"

Hearing this, Li Qingyun was slightly startled, then looked up at her with a hint of thought in his eyes.

He had never thought about asking for anything in return, but since He Xiangu had asked for it, he naturally would not let others down.

"Then I would like to ask about the whereabouts of the other two volumes of the heavenly book. If you have any information or clues, I can also pay a price in exchange."

The moment he obtained the magic crystal, he immediately sensed a secret movement somewhere in the Buzhou Divine Mountain.

If nothing unexpected happens, this unusual movement should come from the "Heavenly Demon Palace" which is as famous as the "Ten Thousand Demons Palace". It is coveting the essence of the Moon Demon and is eager to revive.

Li Qingyun guessed that there were guardian stone statues in the Heavenly Demon Palace similar to those in the "Ten Thousand Demons Palace", and the way to awaken them was to feed them magic crystals.

If he could use all the magic crystals in his hands to awaken a stone statue, he would be able to obtain a helper at the level of a true demon lord. Wouldn't his combat power more than double then?
However, he currently only possesses a volume of the heavenly book that can lead to the "Palace of Ten Thousand Demons". If he wants to enter the "Palace of Heavenly Demons" and awaken the stone statue, he needs another volume of the heavenly book as a key.

With his current abilities, searching for the heavenly book in the human world is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The best way is naturally to seek help from these experienced predecessors who have lived for hundreds of years.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on He Xiangu's face froze slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes:
"I thought you would want something else... this, I really don't have."

As a cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years, she is confident that she can meet the various requirements of the younger generations. Whether it is skills, treasures, or status, it is just a matter of words.

But I didn't expect Li Qingyun to have such a big appetite. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for precious things from the upper realm.

You want me to ask again, but I still don't have any answer... Li Qingyun noticed her embarrassment and secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he was still unusually respectful:

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually. If you have any news in the future, just let me know."

He did not expect that He Xiangu had any clues to the Heavenly Book. After being promoted to the fifth-level agent, he would be able to mobilize more forces in the mysterious palace, and perhaps use his magical powers to divine the whereabouts.

He Xiangu looked at Li Qingyun's calm and composed look, and felt a little embarrassed. She felt that she had lost face for not being able to meet his request, and could not help but say:

"How about you think of something else? This thing is from the upper realm, no one has it..."

"I have!"

At this moment, a calm and deep voice suddenly sounded, breaking the awkwardness between the two.

Wang Xuanfu walked over at some point, and the edges of the blood holes between his chest and abdomen were constantly moving and slowly healing.

His eyes were sharp and his tone was firm:

"I have the second volume of the Heavenly Book, and I also have clues to the third volume of the Heavenly Book. I can give them to you."

When He Xiangu heard this, her narrow and long phoenix eyes twitched slightly and she secretly groaned in her heart.

Isn't this just ruining my career?
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun quickly turned around and looked at Wang Xuanfu. He was both surprised and happy. He did not expect to have such an unexpected gain.

"Thank you, Senior Emperor, but I cannot accept such a valuable treasure without merit."

Wang Xuanfu nodded slightly, his expression calm:

"No problem. I have had this second volume of the heavenly book for more than a hundred years. I have been trying to comprehend from it the method of breaking through the sixth realm and becoming a god or saint, but I have made no progress. I am really ashamed.

"Perhaps, the Heavenly Book is only for those who are destined to receive it. Since you are destined to receive it, it is better to fulfill it for you than to waste it on me.

"And you were able to step forward and save us in times of crisis, which has proven your courage and strength. Giving these things to you will also make the best use of them.

"However, these treasures are with my real body, and you need to go to the East China Sea to retrieve them in person. The situation on the front line is tight, and more demons from the sixth realm may descend in the near future. I really can't leave right away.

"But don't worry, this decision was made by me and Mami together. He won't make it difficult for you."

Seeing this, He Xiangu snorted softly, with a helpless smile on her face:

"Well, it seems that I am of no use as a sister."

Li Qingyun said quickly:
"Sister, you are too kind. I appreciate your concern for my brother."

He Xiangu rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "You are good at talking. How about this? The journey to the East China Sea is long and you may not know the way. I will give you a ride. If someone does not keep his word, I promise to help you get justice.

"Along the way, I will personally teach you three more spells as a thank you for saving my life."

Li Qingyun was more than happy to accept the request and thanked him repeatedly, looking forward to the trip to the East China Sea.

At this time, Wang Xuanfu turned to look at Cao Guojiu and said:

"This incident is not fair to you. Before I came to Bianliang, I discussed with the Grandmaster Chunyang that if you can escape this disaster, you can formally become his disciple and become his direct successor.

"But this means that you will give up your current wealth and glory and serve the human race from now on. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Guojiu immediately knelt down and kowtowed:
"My disciple is devoted to the Dao. If Master Chunyang is willing to accept me as his disciple, what is the point of the worldly wealth?"

Wang Xuanfu nodded with satisfaction:

"In that case, I will give you one month to handle the affairs in Bianliang City. After one month, the Pure Yang Patriarch will come to Kaifeng Prefecture in person to enlighten you into Taoism."

Uncle Cao said respectfully:
"Thank you for your guidance, Emperor."

The evil spirit has been killed, but except for Li Qingyun, the others were all seriously injured and unable to move for the time being.

The crowd was not in a hurry to return to the city. They sat cross-legged on the spot and began to regulate their breathing and recover.

The breeze blew through the treetops, blowing up a fallen leaf, and the fields returned to silence again.

After Li Qingyun carefully collected all the magic crystals, he sat down cross-legged, feeling excited.

After killing two demon kings in a row, he accumulated a large amount of energy and blood. Tonight he can finally be promoted to the fifth-level God's Agent - "Holy Judge".

He closed his eyes, held his breath, and quickly entered into meditation, silently expressing his desire to sacrifice his energy and blood and improve his rank.

In an instant, a mysterious palace suddenly appeared, with endless gray fog rolling and boiling inside.

Then came the response from the gods——

[The agent sacrifices 100,000 souls, qi and blood to increase his rank! ]

[Current rank: Fifth rank 'Holy Judge'. ]

[Sacrifice a million souls, and ascend to the sixth level 'Law Enforcer'. 】

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 29,900 Souls]

[The Holy Judge obtains the magical power - 'Order of Judgment']

[Hang a balance to know the balance, set a compass to know the circle. The agent sacrifices the power of the law, and with the help of the status of the god, the agent can become the embodiment of the way of heaven and rewrite the rules of heaven and earth. ]

[During the period of performing the magical power, those who violate the rules of the "Order of Judgment" will be punished by heavenly tribulation. The scope of the magical power depends on the cultivation and rank of the person who performs it. ]

【…】

[The Holy Judge's "Soul Devouring" magical power has been strengthened, and can obtain more energy and blood from the dead spirits. 】

[The Holy Judge's "Burning Blood" magical power has been strengthened, and the ability gained after burning the power of blood has increased. 】

[The Holy Judge's "Performance" magical power has been strengthened, and the upper limit of the deduction of skills has been raised to the sixth level. 】

[The Holy Judge's "Heavenly Change" magical power has been strengthened, and the power of destiny gained every day has increased significantly. 】

[The Holy Judge's "Bashe Swallowing Elephant" magical power has been strengthened, and can take away the life of a cultivator in the fifth realm at most. ]

【…】

After the sacrifice, Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes and was deeply shocked by the magical power of "Order of Judgment" of the "Holy Judge".

This magical power is very similar to the curse technique used by sorcerers at a high level, but it is far superior.

Both can set rules that cannot be violated within a certain range, and once someone violates them, it will trigger the preset punishment.

The difference is that the punishment from the sorcerers' spells is the powerful force of curse, while the punishment from the "Order of Judgment" is a horrific heavenly calamity.

Be it power or status, they are incomparable.

What's more, the "Order of Judgment" can also allow the agent to temporarily transform into the way of heaven and become the master of a world, which contains even more powerful abilities.

If used properly, it will have endless uses.

however--

Li Qingyun frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Among the magical powers he obtained as an agent, "performing magic", "burning blood" and "divination" all consume energy and blood, which come from the evil spirits devoured by the magical power of "devouring souls".

However, the magical powers that affect destiny, such as "Changing the Heaven's Secret" and "The Ba Snake Swallowing an Elephant", require the "power of destiny", which comes from the accumulation bit by bit every day.

But now, after entering the fifth stage, a new concept called "power of law" has emerged.

It sounds like it could change the order of heaven and earth, but the god's response did not mention how to obtain it.

Li Qingyun couldn't help feeling confused, but not anxious.

There are so many seniors around me, I can just explore them slowly in the future.

Thinking of this, he sank his consciousness into the mysterious palace and suddenly discovered new changes.

The stone slab of the Heavenly Book, which was originally bound by heavy gray fog, suddenly floated up and turned into a huge rune, flying to the wall on one side of the palace and was clearly imprinted there.

Li Qingyun was shocked.

This was the first time that an alien object left a trace in the mysterious palace.

With a thought, he flew to the rune and gently stroked it.

In an instant, his consciousness suddenly appeared on the top of the Buzhou Divine Mountain.

The originally bare and lifeless sacred mountain is now shrouded in gray mist, as if it were given life, making it even more mysterious.

Li Qingyun suddenly realized something.

The Buzhou Sacred Mountain has become a part of the mysterious palace and is completely controlled by the mysterious gray fog that seems to have existed since time immemorial.

He couldn't help but feel shocked.

The three masters of Buzhou Mountain are most likely true gods of the ninth realm, or even supreme gods beyond the true gods.

And who exactly is the mysterious god "Ji"?
The mysterious palace bestowed by Him, with its residual power alone, could actually make the abode of the most powerful ancient gods submit willingly?
As his rank increased, Li Qingyun became more and more shocked at the origin of "Ji".

That powerful god is likely to possess a status that surpasses that of the true God, and is a supreme deity like the God of War, the God of Taoism, and the Buddha.

But why has His name never appeared in any ancient book?
A cold mountain wind blew past, ruffling Li Qingyun's clothes and disrupting his thoughts.

He looked at the sacred mountain in the gray fog, and endless questions surged in his mind...
