Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 234 Moonbeam Pearl, Preparing to Open the Altar

But at this moment, regardless of why the other party participated in the evil god cult's plan, they can no longer shake off suspicion.

At this moment, they are in a completely opposing position.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

……

The fire is still spreading.

Countless ghosts were rapidly weakened by the scorching flames.

Some of the slower and weaker ghosts were quickly vaporized and turned to ashes under the scorching heat.

Even those who were lucky enough to survive the burning were mostly weakened in spirit and greatly reduced in strength.

But at that moment, General Feng moved and suddenly flew into the sky.

The next moment, the entire world seemed to darken, the moonlight was blocked, and endless yin energy rapidly gathered.

Rumble!
As the endless Yin energy gathered, it transformed into rainwater, which quickly dripped down.

The fire in the entire temple was immediately suppressed.

And it quickly went out.

At this time, the many ghosts naturally dared not enter the temple again, fearing that the flames would rise again and cause them to perish in the disaster.

"Who are you? How dare you set fire to my temple? Do you know who I am?"

Then, General Feng took the lead and shouted loudly.

"Wind howls, you've committed a crime."

They colluded with evil cults to murder deities and spirits.

If you are willing to surrender, we might let you go, but if you remain obstinate...

Then there's only one way out: death!

Immediately afterwards, Xuanwu Daoist Zhou Qing stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I have any connection with the cult of evil gods?"

Feng Zhongxiao's expression changed, and then he spoke again.

"The Investiture of the Gods Token is not easy to obtain. You originally had a bright future, and your temple was very popular. There were rumors that you would be promoted and a temple would be built for you in Tianling County."

It's a pity you disregarded the Emperor's grace and colluded with the rebels.

Then there's only one way out: death.

As Zhou Qing spoke, his face was full of regret.

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

General Feng simply shook his head.

"Gah gah gah... Why talk so much nonsense?"
How many people are there?

Originally, taking over Qinghe County would have required a lot of planning and effort.

"At this very moment, almost all the Yin-Yang cultivators in Qinghe County are here; we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Suddenly, a strange cry rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a slightly seductive appearance laughed loudly and spoke.

"Everyone.

You have agreed to our conditions.

Now is the time for you to serve.

Since these people are here, they must already know something about our plan.

If you don't want your identities to be exposed, then you can join us in this fight."

Just then, another voice rang out.

It was none other than the cultivator dressed in black, Daoist Nine Zombies, who spoke.

After saying that, he reached out and flipped his hand, and several small, crystal-clear coffins immediately appeared in his hand.

Then he reached out and touched one of the small coffins.

buzzing...

The coffin suddenly expanded.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, the sealed coffin opened, and a dark blue zombie jumped out.

This zombie was tall and imposing, with a powerful aura, like a war god. Even just standing there, it gave people a fierce feeling.

It was none other than the corpse-refining technique of the Nine-Stem Daoist.

However, unlike ordinary people carrying zombies around, this is different.

As a corpse refiner, he actually possessed a special treasure that allowed him to place corresponding corpses into this small jade coffin.

When it is needed, the zombie in the jade coffin can be released directly, which is convenient and easy.

After releasing the first refined corpse, he didn't pause at all and pointed it at another jade coffin.

buzzing...

The jade coffin immediately trembled, and as it expanded slightly, another zombie jumped out.

This was repeated several times.

Nine zombies quickly jumped out from around him.

Immediately, everyone around turned to look, their eyes flashing with obvious apprehension.

The opponent truly lived up to his reputation as the Nine Zombie Daoist, actually summoning nine zombies to fight for him.

The key point is that these zombies are all quite powerful.

Even the weakest among them had reached the level of the Evil Zombie, possessing a powerful aura. A single breath of corpse energy they exhaled would be too much for a cultivator who could burn three incense sticks to withstand.

The strongest, and the first to be summoned, is the zombie at the peak of the evil spirit level; even just standing there, it gives people an incomparably terrifying feeling.

The sight of the nine zombies lined up immediately filled everyone with apprehension.

Even Chen Yushu frowned slightly.

He muttered to himself that his own accumulation was still lacking. All he had done so far, including Zhu Jiuzhi, was only able to contract four ghost spirits.

Currently, only three can be summoned to fight.

Although the boar demon elephant was strong, its combat power was no weaker than any evil-level ghost spirit, but its injuries were too severe, and it would need a long time to recuperate.

His words, coupled with the strength he displayed, seemed to finally convince those deities and spirits to make up their minds.

There were a total of five deified spirits, four of whom were evil spirits, plus one at the early stage of the evil spirit level. Their auras changed accordingly, as if they were also ready for battle.

These deified spirits, although possessing the Deification Token, have a higher status than ordinary spirits, as they have 'status'.

But they certainly don't stop there.

What they need is incense and faith.

Without the support of faith, their strength is not much different from that of ordinary ghosts.

Without their own temples, their safety is not guaranteed.

Within the Wu Kingdom, there is a unified name for these kinds of deities and spirits.

Wild God!

The bastard god!
Nobody knows what they are used for.

It seems that the imperial court merely granted them a token to appease them.

This signifies that having an identity allows one to move freely within the Wu Kingdom without being mistaken for an evil spirit and exorcised by the Yin cultivators from various sects who come out for training.

Apart from that, it offers almost no help.

Moreover, this identity is very likely to attract the attention of other ghosts and spirits, and countless wild gods perish every year because of it.

Many of them even obtained the corresponding divine tokens by killing other wild gods, which allowed them to appear openly in various towns.

Otherwise.

They either have to find a place to hide or stay in the wild, and are not allowed to appear in towns.

Otherwise, they would inevitably be killed by the cultivators of the Underworld under the guise of subduing demons and eliminating evil spirits, as if it were a great achievement. Moreover, because they possess the God-Sealing Token, they would also become targets for other ghosts and spirits.

After all, most ghosts want the God-Sealing Token, which means they want to gain the court's recognition and have an 'identity'.

Therefore, tempted by the evil cult's condition of 'building a temple,' they naturally couldn't resist and agreed.

"This is not a good situation."

The number of enemies has increased again.

Previously, there were only two cultivators and three evil spirits, which was already extremely dangerous.

Now, there are two who have entered the Dao, four evil spirits at the level of the Demon Lord, plus so many fierce ghosts and evil spirits..."

Seeing this, the wine gourd couldn't help but show an ugly expression.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too great.

They originally thought that by revealing the evil god cult's conspiracy and showing that General Feng was after those deities and spirits, these deities and spirits would immediately become extremely wary of the evil god cult members, and might even turn their guns on them and join forces against the evil god cult members.

result.

These ghosts, attracted by some unknown offer from the evil cult, chose to join forces with them.

The situation suddenly turned against them.

Things have indeed become tricky.

However, we are not without the ability to fight.

Zhou Qing's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but he remained calm.

At this moment, he must remain calm, otherwise the people he has managed to gather will scatter in an instant.

"Fellow Daoists."

The way things unfolded was indeed beyond my expectations.

To compensate my two fellow Daoists, I will apply to my superiors to add the originally planned two major merits to the three.

"I urge you two fellow Daoists to lend a hand."

At the same time, Chen Yushu and the wine gourd both felt the vibration of the sensor plate, and then they heard Xuanwu Daoist's guarantee.

He also knew that the enemies he was facing this time were too numerous and too powerful.

On their side, there were only three cultivators who had entered the Dao.

There wasn't a single supernatural ghost.

As for the other helpers.

At most, he's only at the level of a three-incense stick's worth of cultivation; how could he possibly be a match for those people on the other side?

Therefore, the main fighting force still consists of the three of them.

But it was his duty, and he could not shirk it. He could only plead with Chen Yushu and the wine gourd-wielding man not to back down.

"I've heard that within your Zhenyin Division, there's a Moon Essence Pearl that can absorb the power of the moon every day for cultivation, increasing one's cultivation speed by more than double."

"But I wonder if my three great achievements can be exchanged for this treasure?"

The wine gourd narrowed his eyes, quickly calculating in his mind, and then swiftly stated his request.

"If things become unmanageable, I will leave the battlefield immediately!"

Chen Yushu, however, spoke quite frankly.

He was unaware of the Zhenyin Division's resources, nor did he know what items within it were suitable for his use.

But he knew even better that, knowing one thing, if he felt things were hopeless, he would naturally retreat immediately.

As for major achievements, rewards will be given.

That's something you can only have after you survive.

He would never equate it with his own life.

"It's natural."

Xuanwu Daoist first replied to Chen Yushu, then looked at the wine gourd and said, "That treasure is worth five great merits."

Fellow Daoist, if you exert your strength later, you may be able to kill a demon-level ghost.

Even if I were to swallow my pride and beg this treasure for Fellow Daoist Wine Gourd, what's wrong with that?

Xuanwu Daoist Zhou Qing went to great lengths to get Chen Yushu and the wine gourd to cooperate.

After all, the imperial court has its own system, and the Zhenyin Division places even greater emphasis on rules.

Both minor and major merits require meeting a certain standard before they can be delegated.

The item the wine gourd seeks requires five major merits, but according to his previous promise, he only has three major merits at most. Even if he kills a demon-level ghost, he can only gain one major merit.

Since Zhou Qing had agreed, it was clear that he intended to make up for the remaining great achievement himself.

As for Chen Yushu's suggestion that things were hopeless and they should simply retreat... that only gave him more of a headache.

But this is only human nature, and he can't force others to fight desperately.

After Chen Yushu finished speaking, his expression became serious.

Two entered the Dao, and four were high-ranking ghosts.

In addition, there are nine-headed evil zombies, more than a dozen evil spirits, and four evil spirits that were conferred as gods.

In addition, the Evil God Cult also has more than a dozen cultivators at the level of two or three incense sticks, and more than a dozen martial artists at the Body Refinement Realm and Inner Force Realm.

This is definitely a powerful force.

This was also the strongest enemy Chen Yushu encountered after breaking through to the Dao Realm.

Therefore, his expression became more serious than ever before.

Before the Nine-Stem Taoist, Old Monster Bear, General Wind, White Wall Evil Demon, and other beings rushed towards their location.

His spiritual power quickly spread out and began to condense into magical rune structures.

Soon, the first spell was completed.

Weng~
The void rippled slightly, and countless rays of light quickly converged on his body, forming a seven-colored radiance that was dazzling even in the darkness.

Seven-colored glazed divine light!

At this moment, Chen Yushu used the magical inheritance that Mo Xuan had given him earlier.

Seven-colored glazed divine light.

Although he is only a beginner at this stage.

However, this spell itself is quite powerful, and coupled with Chen Yushu's relatively abundant Dao Yuan, its defensive power is definitely not weak. It can at least block the attacks of one or two evil spirits without any problem.

Of course, Chen Yushu couldn't possibly entrust his safety entirely to this seven-colored glazed divine light.

So Chen Yushu got moving again, quickly picking out one tool after another from his storage bag, and finally placing a table in front of him.

Open the altar!
Chen Yushu was confident in his own abilities.

After all, his numerous perfected spells are far more powerful than the full-force attack of an ordinary cultivator in the Dao Realm.

But this time, they face far too many formidable opponents.

Even he wasn't sure.

That's why he suggested that if things couldn't be done, they should retreat.

Out of respect for a powerful enemy, he naturally had to use his strongest methods.

Without a doubt, the method of opening the altar is his, and it can even be said to be the strongest method among countless Yin cultivators.

The power of the altar is like bestowing divine blessings upon spirits and deities. With the blessing of the temple, one's strength can be enhanced to a certain extent.

Moreover, by using the altar, he can subdue spirits and exorcise evil spirits, and he can also receive blessings from many external objects.

For example, antiques!
For example, ritual implements!
There are also talismans, which can even be used to borrow power.

For example, Zhao Feipeng entered the altar at the Huangshan Heritage Cliff and automatically became its guardian deity.

He also correspondingly empowered Zhao Feipeng with the power of the altar, greatly increasing his strength, which enabled him to play a significant role in the subsequent tower assault.

In addition, there is the ability to seal away evil spirits, which not only enhances the opponent's strength but also allows them to better control their power.

Exorcising evil spirits is merely the basic application of the ritual of opening an altar.
