Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 240 Post-War Arrangements

At least, from then on, he could freely command this evil spirit of the supernatural level to do anything, while he could no longer command the White Wall Demon after the altar was closed.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

of course.

Afterwards, he was able to subdue the evil demon on the white wall by using the Spirit Seal.

But he had no such intention.

The White Wall Evil Demon originates from an evil god cult.

The evil god cult, whether cultivators or ghosts, would brand anyone who joined.

For example, the two cultivators he encountered before who received blessings from the Heavenly Venerable.

This so-called blessing from the Heavenly Venerable is just a kind of mark.

Once infected, one will be subject to the control of the evil cult, both in life and after death.

Naturally, he could not implant a spiritual seal into her.

Contracts are inherently mutually exclusive.

His psychic seal might be more advanced, but it still couldn't plant another contract on a spirit that already had one.

In a flash, Chen Yushu turned his gaze back to the demon spirit of the Rank 3, asking, "What's your name?"

"Reporting to Master, my name is Zhuge Xun! In my previous life, I was a civil official in charge of water conservancy. During a great flood, I took the lead and rushed into the water to save people. I died in the flood, and that is why the court posthumously conferred upon me the title of deity."

He is now the local deity of Huangyu Village in Qinghe County.

The supernatural being, a high-ranking deity, quickly replied.

"it is good.

"Zhuge Xun, go. It's time for this battle to end."

Chen Yushu nodded and also bestowed a portion of the altar's power upon it.

However, by this point, the power of the altar was almost gone, so it didn't significantly boost his strength.

Even if it's not much bigger, it's still a level or two stronger than before.

Upon receiving the order, it immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the battlefield near the wine gourd.

After all, Zhou Qing's side had the White Wall Evil Demon, who, in a surprise attack, even directly killed the Ghost Valley Goddess. The remaining General Feng, even though he had abundant red faith mist, was not as strong as Zhou Qing. With the White Wall Evil Demon constantly attacking, he was no match for him at all. Even his soul body was shattered several times.

Victory is only a matter of time

If Zhou Qing hadn't wanted to achieve a complete victory and annihilate General Feng in one fell swoop, constantly blocking it to prevent its escape, the battle would probably have ended long ago.

Therefore, its first choice is the direction of the wine gourd that has already sunk below.

As for the evil-faced demon, the red-haired corpse king, etc.

Under Chen Yushu's orders, they either rushed towards other evil spirits or followed Zhuge Xun towards the direction of the wine gourd.

Old Monster Bear's combat experience is undeniably extensive.

Although he was constantly engaged in fierce battle with the wine gourd, he never gave up observing the battles in other directions, and thus immediately discovered the movements and changes on Chen Yushu's side.

They learned that the Nine-Stem Daoist had perished, and only his soul had escaped.

They also discovered that the battle situation on Zhou Qing's side had been reversed due to the ghost spirit controlled by Chen Yushu.

Seeing the ghostly figure rushing towards him, he didn't hesitate and immediately turned and fled.

Seeing this, the wine gourd, which had been at a disadvantage, was still a little suspicious. To prevent a trap, it paused for a moment. By the time it realized what was happening, it was too late.

He could only watch as the other person leaped into the house and quickly disappeared.

……

The battle ended quickly.

On the side of the Evil God Cult, apart from Nine-Stem Daoist who escaped with his soul and Old Monster Xiong who immediately fled the battlefield when he sensed the danger, almost all of them were slaughtered.

The only survivor might be the White Wall Demon.

However, since the opponent was Chen Yushu's spirit-binding altar, and had performed remarkably well in this battle, Zhou Qing couldn't just discard him after he was gone, so he treated him directly as a member of the Evil God Cult.

Moreover, in this battle, they successfully thwarted the evil cult's conspiracy and prevented a disaster, which was already a great achievement. Everyone was happy and didn't care too much about the consequences.

Of course, they also suffered considerable losses in this battle.

Among them, a monk from the Zhenyin Division died after burning three incense sticks.

Meanwhile, three local family cultivators from Qinghe County also died.

They all died at the hands of this evil spirit.

Evil spirits pose little threat to cultivators like Chen Yushu who have entered the Dao, but they are a different story for ordinary cultivators who have only been practicing for one, two, or even three incense sticks.

Even among numerous cultivators, they often cooperate with each other.

However, in the midst of battle, the situation changes in an instant. Even if the evil god cult cultivators and ghost spirits are completely annihilated, it is impossible to achieve perfection without paying any price.

……

afterwards.

Chen Yushu, Zhou Qing, and Jiu Hulu, three cultivators at the Dao Realm, gathered together in a pavilion inside the Feng General Temple.

The fire that started earlier has naturally been extinguished by now.

Although charred marks can still be seen everywhere inside the temple, it has not had a major impact on the overall structure of the temple itself.

It can be reused completely after only a little renovation.

As for General Feng himself?
In the end, he still perished under the combined attack of Zhou Qing and the White Wall Demon.

Although its red mist of faith was abundant, it could not withstand the combined attack of two experts of the same level, a human and a ghost, and was completely exhausted, thus perishing and turning into ashes.

At this moment, Zhou Qing took a deep breath, looked at Chen Yushu, and said, "Fellow Daoist of the Spirit Communicator, Fellow Daoist of the Wine Gourd."

This time, I thank you both for your help.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for me to eliminate this threat from the evil cult on my own.

Especially for those who practice spiritual communication, the area beneath the altar is filled with nothing but ants.

"Fellow Daoist's altar power is truly unparalleled in my life. In terms of scale, I reckon even our Commander wouldn't be able to match this."

Xuanwu Daoist Zhou Qing looked at Chen Yushu and the wine gourd, and especially when his gaze fell on Chen Yushu, he couldn't help but feel shocked and curious.

All his knowledge of Chen Yushu came from the narration of Jiu Hulu.

All that is known is that the other party is a cultivator who has recently advanced to the Dao Realm and participated in the Huangshan Inheritance Trial Tower set up by the Huangshan Ancestor. He is considered a first-rate genius.

Even if he's a genius, his performance in this battle was just too strong, wasn't it?

That method of opening the altar truly made him realize that beneath the altar, there are only ants.

And those ghosts and spirits.

One or two would be fine, but three, four, four or five... left them speechless, and a deep sense of envy welled up in their eyes.

To know.

It is perfectly normal for a wandering spirit to raise ghosts.

But most people can only keep one or two before they can't continue.

It's not that I can't afford to raise them, it's just that my spiritual core isn't strong enough to control more ghosts, otherwise I'll be mentally unstable and risk being devoured by them.

Chen Yushu raised four or five at once... which truly shocked them.

Almost immediately, one person came to mind.

One of the Seven True Men of the Martial Kingdom, the Hundred Ghosts Taoist.

Even though Chen Yushu has only five ghosts under his control.

But their demeanor inexplicably reminded them of the Hundred Ghosts Taoist, who enjoyed a great reputation within the Wu Kingdom.

The book of a hundred ghosts on the other party's body was truly famous.

The fact that Chen Yushu, like the other party, had participated in the Huangshan Ancestor's Inheritance Trial Tower immediately ignited their fervor.

Because they inexplicably felt that Chen Yushu, like the Hundred Ghosts Taoist, must have obtained a kind of inheritance, such as the Hundred Ghosts Night Tour Book.

After all, both the evil-faced ghost and the pig demon are among the ghosts recorded in the Hundred Ghosts Night Tour Book in the hands of the Hundred Ghosts Taoist.

In the cultivation world of the Martial Kingdom, he is not only well-known but also quite famous.

If they could also obtain the corresponding treasures...

Of course, the greed in their hearts only lingered in their minds for a moment before disappearing.

As cultivators who have entered the Dao realm, they are actually not lacking in methods.

It's just that the book "Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts" is so famous that it inexplicably tempted them. "Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, you flatter me."

I only have a slight understanding of the path of Dharma practice.

Chen Yushu shook his head and said with a smile.

"This is not as simple as just having some insights."

However, fellow psychic.

Since our last parting, I only learned from the favored one that you had just come out of the Huangshan Ancestor's Inheritance Trial Tower.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it back then.

I never expected that we would actually meet now, and that I would have the honor of witnessing your brilliance.

Even the wine gourd praised it repeatedly, looking very impressed.

"you flatter me."

Chen Yushu humbly shook his head, but did not try to defend himself.

Because everyone has witnessed his strength firsthand.

It was indeed aided by the power of the altar.

However, the method of opening the altar was part of his strength, and there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

"This time, we really owe a lot to the psychic."

"If it weren't for your unexpectedly strong strength, the two of us would definitely not be a match for them."

Xuanwu Daoist Zhou Qing couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Who could have known that they would be so well prepared this time, with as many as four or five evil spirits at the level of the 'Spirit'?"

"Plus, there's the Nine-Zombie Daoist and Old Monster Bear, two veteran cultivators who have entered the Dao and left the body..."

As Xuanwu Daoist spoke, he felt a wave of lingering fear.

He overestimated their strength as much as possible.

But when I actually faced it, I still felt a lingering fear.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, this time, he used the sensory plate in advance to call out to the surrounding cultivators.

Fortunately, both Fellow Daoist Jiu Hulu and Fellow Daoist Tong Ling responded.

Especially fellow practitioners who practice spiritual communication.

Without him, even if it were any other cultivator at the Dao Entry Realm, the outcome of the battle would have been different.

They are very likely the ones who suffered a crushing defeat and fled.

Some might even perish because of this...

"correct.

These are the spoils of war we obtained after slaying General Feng, the God-Sealing General: a Demon-level Soul Bead and this God-Sealing Token.

"I'll leave it all to you, fellow Daoist psychic."

Immediately afterwards, Xuanwu Daoist handed Chen Yushu a God-Sealing Token and a high-quality item of the "Supreme" grade.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, I dare not accept such an honor.”

After all, General Feng didn't die by my hand.

Chen Yushu quickly shook his head and refused.

"Although General Feng did not die at your hands, wasn't that White Wall Demon also the spirit of your altar?"

The White Wall Demon played a significant role in slaying General Feng.

These two items are most suitable for you, fellow Daoist.

As for me.

The benefits gained from simply completing this mission are already immense.

They would receive great rewards afterward, with at least five major merits.

"It would be inappropriate to carry both a token and a Spirit-level Soul Bead."

Xuanwu Daoist was genuinely grateful to Chen Yushu.

I also have great respect and awe for them.

They understood even more clearly that they needed to win over a genius cultivator with unlimited potential like Chen Yushu as much as possible.

He was naturally willing to invest the God-Sealing Token and the Demon-level Soul Pearl.

"Fellow Daoist psychic, please accept this."

Without you, Xuanwu Daoist and I would have truly been in a difficult situation to resolve this battle.

Not to mention, fellow Daoist, you have so many contracted spirits.

This Investiture of the Gods token is perfect for them to refine.

Fellow Daoist, you'll save the expense of cultivating them, won't you?

The red mist of faith emanating from the General Temple in one place is enough to sustain two or three evil spirits to themselves, with some left over.

This will allow them to rapidly increase their strength.

Perhaps in a few years, it will be possible to help them advance to the level of the Demon.

In other words, I don't have a suitable spirit companion.

Otherwise, I'd shamelessly take this treasure.

The wine gourd beside him also quickly spoke up to persuade him.

"All right.

Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my two fellow Daoists for their assistance.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu finally agreed.

The Investiture Token is not very useful if it is only for wild gods or wandering gods.

It's just giving my ghost another identity.

However, the conferment of gods in places like General Feng's place of great religious significance is different.

That's real, and there are huge benefits to be had.

For example, the red mist of faith that is constantly generated can be directly absorbed and transformed, continuously enhancing their strength and foundation.

When the red mist of faith solidifies to its ultimate state, it can be transformed into faith stones.

Tokens are a hard currency among ghosts and spirits, similar to spirit stones for cultivators; both are high-level energies that can be directly absorbed and refined.

A single token is enough to allow a malevolent spirit to directly break through to the level of a fierce ghost.

Not to mention.

In a small place like Qinghe County, it would be fine, but in Tianling County or a more populous territory, a God-Sealing Token would be enough to allow a ghost of the Sumeru level to come and go freely without being regarded as an evil spirit and killed directly.

"As for great achievements."

This matter must be recorded so that the superiors can bestow rewards.

However, I can guarantee that whether you are Fellow Daoist with the Wine Gourd or Fellow Daoist with the Spirit Communication, you will have at least two great merits.

Three, or even four, are all possible.

You two can rest assured about this.

If the funds are distributed, I will inform my two fellow Daoists promptly.

"At that time, you can naturally go to the Underworld Bureau and exchange it for what you want."

Immediately afterwards, Xuanwu Daoist spoke again, making a guarantee.

“We naturally trust Fellow Daoist Xuanwu.”

Upon hearing this, the wine gourd was delighted and continued, "I just wonder how long this whole process will take?"

He wasn't really in a hurry.

But this time, in his battle against his old rival, he found himself at a disadvantage, which was something he could not tolerate.

Therefore, I must improve my skills as soon as possible.

The treasure vault of the Zhenyin Division certainly contained many valuable items that could significantly enhance his strength, and in his excitement, he naturally appeared somewhat eager to acquire them.
