Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 297 Inside the Altar, Gods and Dragons Battle
"pretty close."

Chen He nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of certainty.

Most importantly, he had received information that the Hundred Ghosts Taoist had recently appeared near Tianling County.

Qinghe County, which belongs to Tianling Prefecture, only takes half a day to reach by boat.

This distance is not something a True Person Realm expert like Bai Gui Dao Ren could cover in the short distance of Xuyi, let alone fly very far.

Therefore, it is quite possible that the other party is here.

Chen Yushu was naturally unaware of the speculations that Chen He and the others made after witnessing his actions.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

They would even prefer that.

Essentially, he didn't want anyone to know his strength, methods, or level of power.

Compared to other cultivators of the same realm, his strength and methods were simply too astonishing.

Although cultivators who have entered the Dao Night Wandering Realm are by no means weak, even going back several hundred years, no one has ever been heard of being able to do this.

Not to mention, if calculated in terms of actual practice time.

His cultivation speed was even more astonishing.

……

Closer to home.

With the help of the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king, they almost instantly dragged the Azure Dragon to Chen Yushu's altar.

Inside the altar.

Even though the Azure Dragon's entire body was enormous, it seemed that it could easily leap over the altar and crush the entire altar with a single, light jump.

But the other person remained rooted to the spot, and I felt a strange sense of restraint, so I didn't dare to move for a moment.

This is the power of the rules of the altar in action.

Beneath the altar.

The surrounding area actually formed a special rule-based field, creating a specific execution ground environment that resembled an imperial court.

In such an environment, one is naturally awe-inspiring, and one will inexplicably feel inferior.

Not to mention, Chen Yushu mastered the altar-opening technique, instantly elevating the entire altar to an exceptionally high level.

Even a powerful dragon like the Azure Dragon felt a sense of awe for some reason and did not dare to charge at that moment.

Instead, it slightly raised its dragon head and carefully examined the scene before it.

Especially the layer of mist around the altar, which is so faint that you can vaguely 'see' a figure sitting in the mist.

The figure exuded an unsettling aura, and combined with the surrounding environment, it made the creature feel somewhat panicked and uneasy.

"What demon is below? State your name!"

Suddenly, Chen Yushu spoke, his tone filled with authority.

The Azure Dragon below seemed to be startled by his shout, and its head visibly shrank back.

Then the dragon's entire body trembled slightly, and when it touched a large tree that required two hands to encircle, the tree suddenly cracked open due to its terrifying force.

This demonstrates the terrifying power emanating from the Azure Dragon.

At this moment, Chen Yushu's mind also tensed up slightly, and he saw the three incense sticks in front of him out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, the three incense sticks burned very quickly, especially two of them, which burned downwards almost visibly, like fuses.

The other one, however, burned extremely slowly.

Normally, one incense stick burns for about fifteen minutes, but he estimated that this main thread would take at least an hour, or two hours.

People fear three long and two short, incense fears two short and one long.

It was obvious that the opening of this altar was extremely dangerous.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The one I'm facing this time is a dragon, whose strength is terrifyingly powerful. Every move it makes contains unparalleled power.

It's not that easy to deal with.
Even in the end, a war was inevitable.

Despite his nervousness, Chen Yushu remained calm. In his constant state, he could face not only a young Azure Dragon, but also an adult Calamity-level Divine Dragon, or even a stronger being, without changing his expression.

He truly remained unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed before him.

"Now that you've been summoned, why not speak up?"

Chen Yushu's voice suddenly turned stern.

As he spoke, a terrifying sound seemed to emanate from within the altar.

To the Azure Dragon, this scene appeared as endless, churning mist, threatening to transform into a colossal beast that would devour him.

"Who are you?

Why were I recruited?

Finally, the Azure Dragon spoke.

The intense mental fluctuations also clearly transmitted its consciousness.

Deep down, it was actually a little panicked.

He remembered very clearly that he was originally in his hometown, fighting with others.

Its once comfortable home was destroyed and polluted. What's worse, the other party even had designs on its own dragon brother in its lair, stealing away many of its collections and treasures... This truly aroused its boundless rage.

They also felt that their dignity as dragons had been seriously challenged.

It must retaliate.

It recognized several of them, in particular.

They were all cultivators and spirits from the nearby Qinghe County, and some of them had even met him before.

Therefore, its only thought at the time was to find all the bedbugs and exterminate them.

Furthermore, they will unleash a massive flood, destroying all surrounding towns and causing boundless disaster and immense suffering.

Only in this way can one inspire fear and respect, and thus deter others from provoking one.

Suddenly, a person appeared with formidable abilities and broke his great spell.

But this is irrelevant to it; with a little more effort, the opponent will inevitably be no match for it.

It was born invincible.

I have never felt threatened.

This scene only made it angrier.

As a result, just as it was about to fight that person, it was suddenly brought to this unfamiliar environment by the two guys, and naturally it was a little panicked.

I also felt a sense of fear for the first time.

That's why I spoke up under their persistent questioning.

But its pride prevented it from directly yielding, so it immediately began to ask questions in return.

"Evil dragon."

Do you know your crime?

Chen Yushu naturally wouldn't agree with what the other party said, because this was a game of strategy.

The altar was his main battlefield.

The question-and-answer session was essentially a battle of wits.

If it wins, its altar power will surge, potentially forcing the opponent to submit. If it loses, it will have to prepare for battle.

Although he had already prepared for the worst.

"What crime have I committed?"

Qinglong replied.

"Your intention to cause a great flood, resulting in the devastation of the surrounding life, is a heinous crime."

If they know to repent, perhaps there is still a way out.

But if you do not repent, then as the righteous god of this world, I will surely punish you and execute you to demonstrate the might of Heaven!

Chen Yushu gave a low shout and took a small step forward, lightly stomping on the ground.

boom!
The surrounding earth energy immediately surged and churned, like a colossal wave, pressing down on the Azure Dragon.

Almost instantly, the Azure Dragon's originally towering head felt a terrifying and powerful pressure descend upon it, causing its head to droop sharply, almost pressing against the ground.

However, its power was too great. Even with the altar's effect, Chen Yushu's Seven Star Steps could not completely subdue it.

"Roar!"

The Azure Dragon let out a low roar, and a hint of anger flashed in its eyes, which were as large as copper bells.

"It's those bedbugs who are after my baby."

I was only acting in self-defense.

It appears fierce, but it has already shown a hint of submission.

For the first time, it felt a power that was superior to itself.

Everything around him exuded a sense of mystery, suggesting that it was likely a righteous deity who, unable to bear the surrounding floodwaters, intervened and brought him here.

So, it finally stopped resisting as much as it had before.

The idea of ​​'reasoning' came to mind.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor."

You can go and cause trouble for those people yourself.

But if it causes flooding and disaster, then I must take action.

If you're willing to promise not to commit any more evil deeds, I might be willing to let you off the hook.

Chen Yushu saw that Qinglong was showing signs of yielding, and was overjoyed. He quickly seized the opportunity to speak.

But he also noticed that the incense burning nearby was burning exceptionally fast.

By this time, the two short incense sticks were almost empty.

Although this incense cannot truly affect its altar.

But this incense, along with the fire altar below, are key to the fog that obscures the Azure Dragon's vision.

The fire altar below is fueled by Xiao Hong constantly burning paper money and occasionally throwing down her own sustenance, such as soul beads. This is crucial for the altar to burn.

As his strength increased, the ghosts he faced also became stronger, and simple yellow paper naturally could not play a role.

Therefore, it is necessary to burn spiritual objects.

Soul beads and Yin bones can both be used as materials and can be used in opening altars.

The stronger the force, the more materials the fire altar needs, and the faster they are consumed.

Therefore, the flames in the fire altar were still burning very brightly.

However, due to the time constraints, the incense he used to open the jar was relatively ordinary.

The key issue is that the Azure Dragon in front of us is too tall.

To disperse the mist and obscure its vision, he would need to consume more and longer incense and materials.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that the surrounding fog could no longer be maintained at such a height.

The concentration is also gradually decreasing.

This is definitely not a good sign.

If this continues, the other party will inevitably be able to see through the fog and discover his true identity.

So he had to make a quick decision.

"But once those people return, they will inevitably hide in human towns."

If I'm going to take action against them, I'll inevitably have to destroy the town.

"Why not send a flood down and force them to come out on their own..."

Qinglong was still explaining, clearly very wary of the righteous god who had suddenly appeared before him.

"I do not care.

Now, quell the flood immediately and stay obediently in your lair.

Anyway, you have a long lifespan, you'll naturally have a chance to get revenge later!

Chen Yushu rudely interrupted it and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qinglong felt somewhat humiliated, but at this moment, under the influence of the altar, the difference in strength between the two was quite obvious.

The saying goes, "One step forward leads to further progress."

If it retreats one step, it will inevitably retreat step by step.

It neither wanted nor dared to break ties and engage in a major battle with this so-called righteous god.

This is game theory.

At first, it can take advantage of ignorance to make a move.

However, after talking for so long, it became clear that the other party was no weaker than itself, and even stronger, so it hesitated and dared not make a move.

The initiative has been lost.

Of course, we had no choice but to give in.

Moreover, what the other party said is also true. He has a long lifespan and is only in his infancy at this time. After a few years, he will enter his growth period and his strength will increase rapidly.

At that time, we can naturally retaliate.

Moreover, even this so-called righteous god in front of him dared not stop him.

Because he could sense that even if the other party was stronger than him, the difference was limited.

During the growth period, one's strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and one will inevitably be able to surpass the other party. Naturally, one will not be afraid of the other party suddenly jumping out to uphold so-called justice.

With this in mind, he decided to endure it for the time being after he had subdued himself.

Meanwhile, Chen Yushu, who was on the other side, had been observing the other's expression. Upon seeing this, he felt slightly relieved.

In this way, the safety of Jianghuan Town, and even Qinghe County, can be considered resolved.

He also doesn't need to worry about the safety of his parents, mentors, or other relatives.

As long as the Azure Dragon is appeased for now, and after a period of time when one's strength rapidly increases again and breaks through once more, there will be no need for such trouble.

Day trip!

He was confident that once his cultivation reached the Sun Travel Realm, he could kill his opponent even without the aid of the altar!
In terms of the speed of improvement in strength.

Even if dragons are exceptionally gifted and have inherited memories, they are still no match for humans.

Of course, he is one of the most outstanding individuals among humans, already considered to be among the fastest cultivators.

but.

Just as he relaxed slightly, he didn't notice that the two incense sticks had completely burned out.

Immediately, without the smoke from the incense obscuring the view, the density of the fog also decreased slightly.

Although Qinglong outwardly submitted, he had actually been observing his opponent all along.

I want to see what this so-called true god actually looks like.

It's not that it's cunning; it's just normal curiosity.

Feeling that its strength was not much different from the other party's, it did not show much awe to him like ordinary ghosts and gods.

Therefore, when the incense smoke stopped and the thick fog thinned, it could vaguely see the figure on the altar in the mist, which seemed somewhat familiar.

However, the fog was still there, and it could only barely make out a few outlines.

It sensed that the other party was human, somewhat different from what it had imagined, yet also strangely familiar.
"Humans? Familiarity?"

Qinglong instinctively paused, momentarily stunned.

As he pondered, he searched through the human beings he had ever seen.

As an Azure Dragon, it had been born in the Fallen Dragon Abyss and had hardly ever seen any humans... It carefully searched its memories, and just then, the smoke swirled, and the figure on the altar seemed to become clearer.

It recognized it almost instantly.

It's him!

One of the petty thieves who entered his own lair to steal the treasure.

“You lied to me?

"Playing tricks!"

Almost instantly, the Azure Dragon realized what was happening, and its aura suddenly surged.

The dragon's entire body rose up, and its eyes emitted a dazzling red light, as if it were extremely angry and wanted to completely overturn the entire altar.
