Chapter 210 Demon Path, Five Animals, Five Gods
Seeing the evil jar's power, Song Wuji smiled and summoned the Water and Fire Banana Leaf Fan, unleashing the supernatural powers of [Fan Wind] and [Ding Fire].

We don't use Samadhi Fire or Bing Fire because we're afraid of burning these demons to ashes, making it difficult to find meat then.

Even so, with just one fan, the power of both wind and fire magic increases tenfold or more. This magic weapon truly lives up to its reputation as a magic power amplifier.

A massive fire tornado suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the eighth-rank demon who had just managed to break free of the evil jar could no longer escape the fire tornado.

Upon seeing this, the Five-Tongued Evil God said, "This God of Slaughter is already at the seventh rank. Should we retreat?"

Seeing so many subordinates who had come with great difficulty, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have the Five Elements Divine Essence within me. After taking over Jianxin County, I was also granted the supreme supernatural power of transformation by the Demon Path. I have five lives in total. I should test his methods... If it really doesn't work, I'll escape."

In fact, Song Wuji had seen him before. Back in the Cangzhong Secret Realm, when he killed the rat demon and refined the original demon energy, he fell into the rat demon's illusion and saw this Five Gods. It was this Five Gods who gave the rat demon the remnant of the Plague God.

At that time, the Five Gods only left behind a backup plan. They were thinking that after the demons attacked the city, they would leave an inside agent so that the demons could fight for supremacy and then they could take over the city.

"Stop being so arrogant!"

"Yellow sand! Dust storm!"

The Five Gods possessed five types of divine attributes, just like the five brothers who were integrated into one.

The Earth God's power was obtained by him after killing all the local land gods and gathering their authority.

Gold represents the God of Wealth and is the authority over wealth.

Wood represents the spirit of the fetus and the spirit of giving children; it is also the transformation of the spirit's lewd and evil power.

Water is the spirit of literature, a spring of inspiration, and it is also the source of unorthodox literary ideas.

Fire is the god of disaster and calamity, and is associated with fire disasters.

These five divine entities formed the Five Paths, which devoured the newly built city god, raised humans and livestock, and gave rise to evil powers such as chaos and fear... Similar to Song Wuji's Fire Talisman Golden Elixir, the five elements are the foundation, and on this basis, it continuously absorbs chaotic divine entities.

However, Song Wuji's method of refining divine sparks was mainly about devouring them to replenish his own foundation, but this guy was different.

Yellow sand and dust both belong to the element of earth in the Five Elements theory. Earth can extinguish fire, not to mention the chaos and fear it carries.

Anyone who comes into contact with this dust will feel inexplicable fear and will have their mind polluted by the "dust poison," becoming confused and arousing inner malice. This is especially effective in restraining the humanistic fire in the Ding Fire Divine Power, which is mainly based on human popularity and fuel.

[The Lord of the New Realm. The Five Animals and Five Gods of the Demon Path]

Upon seeing this true name, Song Wuji once again summoned the evil jar and called out its true name: "Lord of Jianxin Realm, Five Beasts and Five Gods of the Demon Path!"

The power of the Name-Calling Divine Power is amplified tenfold by the Evil Jar Magic Treasure.

The power of calling one's name is such that even a weak god will fall from his horse, and a strong god will stagger for a moment.

Although the Five Gods were vigilant, they could not help but lose their focus for a moment.

With his surrounding black aura, raising people and livestock, and turning the entire Jianxin County into a city of demons, he has already accumulated endless evil karma.

Before the Heavenly Court fell, such a situation would have resulted in being struck by lightning.

The evil jar activated in the brief moment of his distraction, a powerful suction force attempting to draw him into the jar.

At the same time, absorbing a seventh-grade evil god also consumed a lot of Song Wuji's magic power. However, within Taichang territory, Song Wuji believed that the recovery effect was at its maximum and was not afraid of the consumption at all.

In the blink of an eye, the Five Gods landed in the jar.

Just as Song Wuji was secretly sighing at how easily it was dealt with, he saw that what was captured in the jar was not the demon, but only the [Five Elements Embryo. Lustful Wooden Donkey].

Where the Five Gods had just been, black smoke still billowed, only now it had changed from the Five Gods to the Four Gods.

The evil god was terrified and dared not linger any longer. With a gust of wind, he led his core demons and fled back to Jianxin.

Fearing it was a diversionary tactic, Song Wuji did not pursue them.

He simply shouted, "Where are the Taichang generals?! Why aren't you out of the city to slaughter these evil spirits!"

Upon receiving the order, Chen Xiu immediately opened the city gates and led two hundred soldiers out of the city. Following them were other cultivators and even civilians, all in groups of three or five.

"Seventh-rank power, is it really that great?" Tian Chenghuang exclaimed. "Presumably this time, we can subdue the entire Taichang territory!"

Song Wuji nodded and then said, "My journey to the Netherworld went relatively smoothly. I met the King of Reincarnation, who has agreed to restart the cycle of reincarnation. At least our Taichang Realm can restart it. However... Mount Luofeng is now surrounded by black mist, and all sorts of Netherworld demons have turned into strange beings. Many ghosts and gods have been corrupted. To escort souls to reincarnation, we can only go through the Yellow Springs Waterway."

“In the Yellow Springs Waterway, there is a fishing boat that I have already enlightened.”

"That's good," said Tian Chenghuang. "As long as the population can be restored, that's fine."

Song Wuji added, "The people of the secret realm can also participate in reincarnation."

These were all questions that Song Wuji had carefully inquired about while he was in the underworld.

However, King Yama in the Netherworld also warned Song Wuji: "Now that the Three Realms and Six Paths are in disorder, there may be women who are pregnant and give birth to demon seeds or monster seeds. In particular, women who are preparing to give birth to life must be very careful and must not leave the city at will. If they come into contact with evil atmosphere and demonic energy, they may very well become the incarnation of those out-of-control ghosts and demons in the underworld."

At this moment, Song Wuji repeated these words to Tian Chenghuang. "I will be careful about this matter." Tian Chenghuang nodded: "This will absolutely not happen."

……

The remaining demons without the Five Evil Gods are not difficult to defeat, but since they scatter and flee, it is difficult to kill them one by one.

It was only when they sounded the retreat and tallied the casualties that Song Wuji began to have a real headache.

They chased after them and fought back, but three regular soldiers died in the process.

These were all the result of a lot of hard work in training. Even setting aside resources and luck, the loss of these three lives alone is a painful thing.

More importantly, because it was a battle to defend the city, many of the blood rice seedlings planted outside the city were also destroyed.

Evil forces and heretics won't care about these seedlings that haven't even sprouted yet.

As long as there is war, these things are inevitable. Even if you gain demon flesh, demon materials, and the magical artifacts and weapons that the demons bring, it's not a profitable deal no matter how you calculate it.

Song Wuji had no ambition to dominate, but if he wanted to restore order and peace to the world, he had to gnaw away at the bones and tear off the flesh from the demons, evil gods, and various secret realms.

Therefore, Song Wuji directly ordered: "Focus on developing the military and replenish the ranks with five hundred regular soldiers!"

With just 200 regular soldiers, they almost bankrupted Taichang City; with 500 regular soldiers, the pressure will only be greater.

However, there is one difference: Song Wuji has already reached the seventh rank.

A seventh-rank deity's influence extends to the entire "hundred-mile marquisate," requiring no purification of one's fortune.

In Taichang City, there is Song Wuji, a seventh-rank Kitchen God. Centered on Taichang City, the Kitchen God's influence radiates outwards from strong to weak. Not to mention anything else, within a circle of fifty miles around, everyone will enjoy the Kitchen God's blessings.

This is still due to the disorder of the Three Realms and Six Paths, and the overly prosperous human realm, which stands on the earth like a firefly. There is a seventh-rank evil god next door... and even further away, in Hongzhou Prefecture, it is unknown whether there are even more powerful demons and evil gods.

In short, this seventh-rank strength is indeed capable of protecting a region. If we wait until Tian Chenghuang also reaches the seventh rank and the laws of the Yin and Yang realms are complete, it might be able to extend to a surrounding area of ​​a hundred miles.

Even if it were fifty li in circumference, not calculated as a circle, but as a square radiating outwards from the four city walls, it would still be a square with sides of 12.5 li.

Building a larger city and seizing more land is currently impossible, but according to the previous plan, it is still possible to deploy and suppress the ley lines and water veins, build villages, manors, stockades, and fortresses, and develop a secret realm based on these units.

The only concern is the population.

The ritual for Song Wuji to become the head of a household required "ten thousand households" to acknowledge his status as the head of the household.

If there are 10,000 households, and each household has at least five people, then there would be 50,000 people.

Therefore, it was inevitable to move people from the secret realm to various places. At least Song Wuji needed to control at least 50,000 people within Taichang.

Of course, it's not simply a matter of five people per household, but rather that the family bloodline serves as the link. Given that currently in Taichang City, there are 80% men and 20% women, how difficult it is for them to form a family.

The food problem, the construction problem, and the population problem—to solve one of them, you must solve the other two. You can't rush things; nothing can be done quickly.

Therefore... expand outwards! Take over Jianxin County. Wutongshen, as an evil god, needs incense and faith. Although the people who gathered together were all demons, demons may not necessarily generate faith. He must have raised a large population.

Even if these people have already fallen into madness and worshipped evil gods, they are still a hidden danger even if they are saved. But they are still people. Song Wuji has the Yellow Spring Pearl, which contains the Yellow Spring Fallen Dragon. He can control the Yellow Spring True Water. At worst, he can cleanse their souls and memories, turning them into blank slates, and make them learn again.

Furthermore, by killing the Five Evil Gods and capturing Jianxin County, we can directly reach Hongzhou Prefecture.

Both Song Wuji and Tian Chenghuang wanted to know the current situation in Hongzhou Prefecture: had it also fallen, or were there still people resisting the demons and growing stronger?

In any case, we can no longer develop in a comfortable manner.

Write down the things that need to be done, and complete them one by one.

first……

Song Wuji summoned the three elders of the Beggars' Sect.

Seeing that Song Wuji had already reached the seventh rank, the three elders were no longer so confident.

"Lord of the Realm."

Song Wuji took out the treasure coins.

The elders who transmit skills, transmit methods, and enforce laws immediately stared wide-eyed.

"Back then, you taught me the power to open walls and sent me to the underworld to find this coin. Now I have found it."

The three elders of the Beggar Clan swallowed hard: "As agreed, we will give you the seventh-grade Ruyi rolling pin and the whereabouts of the Kitchen God Sect's divine weapon."

Song Wuji took back the money: "This money does not belong to the God of Poverty, but to the four envoys under the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming. You lied to me. Besides, I only promised to search for it, not to give it to you. It's just a rolling pin. I have supernatural powers, and as long as I have the materials, I can make many more."

"Tell me the truth, what does the Beggars' Sect want with this copper coin? Is it really something belonging to the God of Poverty?"
