Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

"Humph!"

Chen Yushu snorted coldly and threw a punch.

Roar!
A tiger's roar followed.

The Wrath of the White Tiger!
This was the innate divine power he had comprehended after perfecting the White Tiger Visualization Technique: the Wrath of the White Tiger.

As the White Tiger unleashed its fury, its roar shook the heavens, and it instantly charged onto Feng Changxi's back, slamming down hard.

Feng Changxi's body trembled violently, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but he still forced himself to continue flying.

Chen Yushu was somewhat helpless about this.

Night-traveling cultivators are too fast.

Even carrying a physical body, it far exceeded his own flight speed during his nighttime travels.

In the end, he had no choice but to use the Soul-Shocking Thrust, a soul-attacking spell.

However, due to the extremely long distance, its power was greatly reduced, and it seemed that it did not cause much damage to the opponent.

boom! boom!
However, immediately afterward, his two Divine Descent Techniques also crashed down, striking directly into the void in front of him.

bump!
There was a loud noise.

Instantly, it shattered the Yin-Yang Transformation Formation that had enveloped almost the entire General Temple.

This immediately brought a look of relief to Zhu Jiuzhi and Zhuge Xun in the temple.

With the grand formation activated and Daoist cultivators guarding the outside, they dared not leave the temple.

Because of the temple's protection, they still have at least the strength to fight.

Generally speaking, the Yin-to-Yang Transformation Formation cannot have much impact on those within the temple.

However, once they leave the temple, their strength will be limited.

Even a demonic spirit of the highest level can only unleash power comparable to a peak evil spirit.

Zhu Jiuzhi, who was already at the peak of the evil spirit level, would have his strength degrade to the level of an early evil spirit.

With this shift in power, a ghost's life could be entirely in the other party's hands.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you for your great kindness, Master."

"If our owner hadn't arrived in time, we might have perished here."

The two deities spoke up, their voices filled with surprise and gratitude.

They were really afraid that Chen Yushu wouldn't come.

After all, they were merely Chen Yushu's contracted spirits, dispensable entities, and their deaths would have no impact on him.

Fortunately, Chen Yushu never abandoned his subordinates.

Not to mention, besides Xiao Hong, Zhu Jiuzhi has been with him the longest, and now he is the God-General of Qinghe County, so he naturally wouldn't ignore him.

On the contrary, if it were a life-or-death situation, Zhuge Xun would probably try to avoid it.

"It's nothing."

But where did this Feng Changxi come from?

The temple keeper of Xu Qing, the Earth God?

How could a mid-stage Demonic Spirit be qualified to hire a cultivator at the Night Wanderer Realm as a temple keeper?

Chen Yushu still had many doubts in his heart.

"This Feng Changxi appeared a year ago."

Upon arrival, he was taken in by Xu Qing as a temple keeper.

I remember that Xu Qing originally had a temple keeper who was dissatisfied and made a fuss, saying that he wanted to fight Feng Changxi.

However, it disappeared after only a few days.

Everyone originally thought that he had slunk away after his defeat.

Now it seems that's not necessarily the case.

He was just a cultivator whose cultivation had only reached the level of three incense sticks' worth, yet he had provoked a powerful Yin cultivator at the Dao Entry Realm or higher. How could he possibly escape unscathed?

Zhuge Xun, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up, his face also showing some doubt, saying, "However, no matter who it was at the time, they would never have expected that Feng Changxi would actually be a cultivator above the Dao Realm, and a Dao Realm Night Wanderer cultivator at that."

Throughout the year, he did not show anything particularly special.

He quietly performed the duties of a temple keeper, remaining unremarkable.

To outsiders, they all claim to have reached the level of "three incense sticks' worth of cultivation."

"It seems that their scheme is indeed very deep."

Chen Yushu suddenly understood.

They must have made preparations as early as a year ago.

They had been lying in wait, patiently waiting for their chance.

It wasn't until this time, when he destroyed the formation, that they came over specifically to give him a warning.

Unexpectedly, his strength was far greater than they had imagined, which is why they returned empty-handed.

"But that's understandable."

With a cultivator like Feng Changxi at the Night Wanderer Realm, no matter how fat he is, it's no wonder that Xu Qing, the local deity of Qinghe County, dared to expand so much, subduing almost all the ghosts and spirits within the county.

Even the City God of Qinghe County didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Although it has been said to the outside world that it is in seclusion.

However, there are frequent rumors of the City God appearing in the City God Temple, which shows that it has always existed.

I just didn't dare go out.

Immediately afterward, Zhuge Xun also spoke up.

As a veteran of the Fengshen (Investiture of the Gods) and Ghost Spirits, he had spent too long in Qinghe County and knew the situation of many Fengshen and Ghost Spirits like the back of his hand.

Even the situation of the City God at the late stage of the Chong level has some speculation and understanding.

"That's normal."

If a late-stage Deity Spirit hadn't stayed in the temple, how could it possibly be a match for a cultivator at the Night Wandering Realm?
If it dared to go out freely, it would probably have been ambushed and killed by Feng Changxi and Xu Qing long ago.

Chen Yushu nodded, naturally aware of this.

For deities and spirits, the safest place is often their own temple.

Firstly, they are protected by the government and the Zhenyin Division.

Ordinary ghosts and spirits wouldn't dare to openly attack the deified ghosts and spirits within the temple.

Secondly, the power of the gods and spirits within the temple is also the strongest.

If the difference in strength were not so great, ordinary cultivators would not dare to attack the ghosts and spirits inside the temple.

The most important reason why Feng Changxi dared to attack Zhu Jiuzhi this time was that he had set up an array around the area beforehand.

All movement was silenced.

Moreover, in the end, the other party had no intention of killing Zhu Jiuzhi and the others. Besides wanting to subdue them, the main purpose was to lure him out.

It's a pity that the plan went wrong.

"Owner.

So what should we do next?

Zhu Jiuzhi said with some concern.

There's nothing to worry about.

As long as you stay inside the General's Temple, he won't dare to do anything to you.

If anything goes wrong, just let me know immediately.

If you're really worried, you can come and stay with me for a while.

Chen Yushu said casually.

After this battle, Chen Yushu gained confidence.

Previously, although he considered himself to be no weaker than a cultivator at the Night Wanderer Realm, he had never actually fought against such an existence, so he always had some doubts in his heart.

This time, despite his calm and confident demeanor during the battle, he was prepared to retreat immediately if things went wrong. However, he hadn't expected that the cultivator at the Night Wanderer Realm, while possessing indeed exquisite swordsmanship, would be so astonishing in both attack and movement speed.

But their actual combat strength was not as formidable as they had imagined.

Perhaps it was because he was too strong, or perhaps the cultivator in front of him, who had just entered the Dao Night Wandering Realm, was relatively weak.

Regardless, it did give him a boost of confidence.

"Then I'll stay here."

The environment for spiritual practice inside the General's Temple is indeed much better, with a considerable amount of red light of faith available for practice every day.

I feel like I'll break through in a few days.

Zhu Jiuzhi considered it for a while and quickly made a decision.

"Oh?

Is a breakthrough imminent?

Chen Yushu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"That's right.

It can take anywhere from three to five days to at most ten days to half a month.

In fact, I had already reached the peak level of evil spirit ten years ago, but I never had a suitable cultivation environment and sufficient resources as a backing, so even if I wanted to break through, I didn't have the confidence.

But things are different now.

The red light of faith produced daily in the General's Temple not only supplies my spiritual practice but also leaves a large surplus.

Aside from a portion that I plan to save and transform into faith crystals to offer to my master, I've also accumulated the rest in preparation for my breakthrough.

Zhu Jiuzhi's face was also full of joy as he spoke.

I also truly feel that being with my owner is a kind of luck.

Otherwise, if it stayed in Huangshan all year round, it would not only have to guard against possible capture by cultivators, but it would also have almost no chance to go further and break through to the level of the Demon.

After all, those places are famous mountains and rivers, naturally rich in vital energy.

However, the yin energy is relatively thin.

Even in places where yin energy gathers, it's rare to find enough yin energy to help him break through.

It would have been impossible for him to be like this now, not only having obtained the status of a deity and being able to walk straight anywhere, but also having the possibility of advancing further so quickly.

I was truly very lucky.

Zhuge Xun, standing to the side, also showed a hint of envy.

If judged by strength, it has a better chance of directly obtaining the title of deity of the General Temple.

It's a pity that because he had only been with Chen Yushu for a short time and was only subdued on the same day, he naturally missed this opportunity.

But the good thing is.

Now he mostly stays in the General's Temple. Zhu Jiuzhi is generous and will share enough faith red light with him for cultivation, so that he will no longer be like before, where even as a land of gods, he could only go hungry or full occasionally, with very little supply of faith red light.

"So good!
However, you don't need to save any faith crystals for me.

I don't need it; you can use it directly for breakthroughs.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu was pleased and then spoke up.

Faith Crystals are crystalline formations formed from the condensation of red light of faith. They contain a vast amount of faith power and can actually be beneficial to cultivators' practice.

However, faith often contains countless wishes and requests, and all sorts of chaotic thoughts. Once absorbed, these will immediately cause interference.

Even with his meditative state, he could easily suppress and annihilate these thoughts.

However, it's never as satisfying as directly cultivating and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If a cultivator's meditative state is low, this can even affect them, causing their mind to become confused, their state of mind to become unstable, and making it difficult for them to break through.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Jiuzhi and Zhuge Xun, Chen Yushu turned back and hurried home.

In the distance, he also saw cultivators from the Zhenyin Division heading towards the General's Temple.

As the formation was broken, the intense fluctuations of vital energy naturally followed, and it was perfectly normal for the people of the Zhenyin Division to take action.

Too lazy to meet them, Zhu Jiuzhi and Zhuge Xun would naturally step forward. He quietly used the Concealing Fragrance Technique, and instantly all his aura disappeared.

Unless you actually see him, it's almost impossible to find his trail.

Soon, Chen Yushu returned to his residence.

"After this battle."

I reckon Qinghe County will soon become lively again.

The sudden appearance of a cultivator who has entered the Dao Night Wandering Realm.

Moreover, it was the sudden appearance of the Dao Zou Yin, who had secretly entered Qinghe County as a temple keeper a year earlier.

It's likely that Chen He, within the Zhenyin Division, will be restless.

and this.

This should be one of the trump cards of Xu Qing, the Earth God.

Even, perhaps, the person behind it all.

As Chen Yushu pondered this, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the direction of the Zhenyin Division, and he muttered to himself, "I wonder what your trump card is?"

Without sufficient strength, one would absolutely not dare to plot against dragon eggs.

On the surface, the other party was him and Qian Wang, another Daoist cultivator from Qinghe County.

Even if there were three cultivators who had entered the Dao and left the body, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand a slap from a Qinglong at the Disaster level. If they didn't have certain trump cards, the other party would definitely not dare to be the mantis catching the oriole.

After a moment's thought, he still couldn't figure out what the other party's trump card was.

However, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

He didn't want to dwell on it too much.

The moment a thought arises, the soul leaves the body.

However, this time, he had no intention of going out at night.

This event will inevitably cause a stir in Qinghe County and attract the attention of many cultivators.

Although most people would not be able to find his whereabouts, just in case, after he left his body, he would simply wander around the room, either practicing the Huangshan meditation method or various spells.

When he felt the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) gradually thinning, his cultivation naturally paused slightly.

But it didn't stop.

Because he had not yet entered the underworld.

The Underworld is not only a place for him to explore, but also a place with a variety of rich spiritual materials and many rare treasures. It is also an excellent place for cultivation.

Whether it's practicing the Huangshan Contemplation Method or various spells, such as the Seven-Colored Calamity-Crossing Divine Light or the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique...

Especially the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique.

He has now cultivated it to a minor level, and its power is not weak.

Once unleashed, it creates a tremendous commotion.

Unfortunately, it's only feasible for ghosts and spirits.

While its absolute power may not be as great as the Divine Descent Technique, its effectiveness against ghosts and monsters makes it even more lethal.

"However, this is only a small achievement, and it is still not enough."

Only by cultivating it to a high level can it truly be effective in any potential battles.

Chen Yushu pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

The Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique at the minor completion stage is at most comparable to the Divine Descent Technique, or even slightly inferior.

It can play a huge role when facing mid-stage or even late-stage ghosts of the Demonic Realm, and can also pose a threat to cultivators who have entered the Dao Night Wandering Realm.

Disaster-level!
That is a different level of existence.

He had no idea what to expect.

Therefore, he was eager to elevate the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique to its highest level.

Besides.

He still has cultivation! (End of Chapter)
