You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"Luo Feng, the Demon-Subduing Yin General?"

"The path between Yin and Yang is not yet open, so how can there be a Yin General in the mortal realm?"

"Don't even mention that the Yin-Yang Road wasn't open. Even when the Yin-Yang Road was open, there were very few Yin-Yang experts of the Yin-Yang level to roam around... except for the Black and White Impermanence and the Exorcist True Lord who often sent avatars to descend."

As news of Chen Yang's battle against the two ghost immortals, Qingyangzi and Yuzhenzi, at Qingwei Dao Academy spread, the resurrected ancestors of various Daoist sects, clans, and aristocratic families in the Great Xia Dynasty all felt the crisis!

The Li family of Longxi, Li Family Ancestral Hall.

Li Family Dragon Palace!

Yes!

The plaque hanging in the ancestral hall of the Li clan in Longxi has four large characters: "Li Clan Dragon Palace". These four characters were personally written by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. It is an important carrier and one of the landmark buildings for studying the cultural relics and remains of the Li clan in Longxi.

The origins of the Li clan of Longxi can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.

Li Tan, the Grand Secretary of the Qin Dynasty, was the son of Li Yao, who served as the governor of Longxi Commandery and established the Li family's foundation in Longxi. His son, Li Yao, became the governor of Nan Commandery and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Didao. His grandson, Li Xin, became a general and the Marquis of Longxi. From then on, the Li family of Longxi became a truly prestigious and influential family.

Throughout history, in addition to the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family has produced more than a dozen prime ministers and countless high-ranking officials and celebrities!

With this foundation, the Li family naturally cultivated many masters.

There are also three "ancestors" who revived the Li family.

However, today, only one Li Clan Ancestor appeared in the Li Clan Dragon Palace. The body he possessed was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. His gaze swept over the many high-ranking members of the Li Clan, and he said, "I am aware of what happened at Qingwei Dao Academy."

"The dispute over the orthodoxy of the Qingwei Sect has nothing to do with my Li family. Since the new leader of the Qingwei Sect will also assume the position of leader the day after tomorrow, my Li family will go to congratulate him as usual... Remember, etiquette must not be neglected, and the reputation of my Li family must not be tarnished."

An elderly man surnamed Li asked in surprise, "Ancestor, aren't you going?"

The arrangements for the visit to Qingwei Taoist Temple on September 8th to offer congratulations had been finalized several days in advance, including the etiquette, gifts, and who would attend and accompany the group.

According to the established rules, the one leading the team was none other than the old ancestor in front of them.

The Li family patriarch said calmly, "I have recently had some enlightenment in my cultivation and need to go into seclusion to meditate. You may go."

An elder of the Li clan, understanding the patriarch's worries, quickly stood up and said, "It's just a declining Qingwei Sect. We can go and offer our congratulations. How can we let this delay the patriarch's cultivation?"

"Don't do that!"

The patriarch of the Li family said solemnly, "Our Li family has passed down the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, and filial piety. We must not underestimate the Qingwei Sect just because it is not as good as our Li family. Remember, our Li family disciples must never cause trouble after they go to the Qingwei Daoist Academy!"

At the same time, the Cui, Wang, Lu, Zheng, and other major clans also held similar meetings!

The various patriarchs either announced their seclusion or were going to travel the world, but without exception, they all sent their family and sect disciples, instructing them to prepare treasures and gifts to go to Qingwei Dao Academy to offer their congratulations.

…………

Kyoto Prefecture.

Special Administration Bureau Headquarters.

"what?"

"Master Chen went to Qingwei Taoist Temple alone and suppressed two ghost immortal ancestors of the Qingwei Sect by himself? He claimed that they had been reborn by possessing bodies, violating the laws of the underworld, and should be taken to the underworld for punishment?"

"Many disciples of the Qingwei Sect offered incense and invited the incense avatar of the Qingwei Sect's founder... The incense avatar of the Qingwei Sect's founder did not stop Chen Yang, but instead addressed him as a fellow Daoist and entrusted the Qingwei Sect to Chen Yang?"

Jiang He also received the news immediately. He paused for a moment, then asked, "What are the reactions of the various families and sects?"

The assistant smiled and said, "The patriarchs of the Li family of Longxi, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, as well as the patriarchs of the Daluo Sect and the Tianjian Sect, have announced that they will go into seclusion for cultivation. In addition, the patriarchs of three other forces have said that they want to travel the world."

"Ha ha!"

Jiang He laughed and said, "As expected, there's always someone who can subdue another. Weren't these old fogies so arrogant a few days ago? They even had a ghost immortal break into headquarters at night and threaten me!"

"I originally planned to cultivate for a while longer and stabilize my realm before having some fun with them, but I didn't expect them to back down so quickly?"

If anyone else heard Jiang He say that, they would be terrified!

You should know that Jiang He was originally a peak Martial Saint!
The Martial Saint has already condensed the Martial Will, and the strength of his physical body and blood is comparable to that of a Ghost Immortal!
His current statement about "stabilizing his realm" indicates that he has already taken that step, broken through the shackles, and entered a new level of martial arts!
The next level of martial arts after the Martial Saint is the legendary "Land Immortal" realm, also known as the "Martial Arts Human Immortal." Even a beginner Martial Arts Human Immortal can rival a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal!
"Assistant Zhou."

"Prepare a generous gift for me. I want to personally go to Qingwei Taoist Temple to present Master Chen with this gift!"

Not just rivers.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Jiyu, the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, also ordered his subordinates to prepare generous gifts.

Chen Yang, meanwhile, had already returned to Wucheng.

While eating the lunch prepared by Cat Master, I couldn't help but praise, "These ribs are stewed to perfection... Cat Master's cooking skills have improved recently!"

Upon hearing Chen Yang call him "Cat Master" instead of "Little Fatty," Cat Master's cat eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile.

It was in a very good mood during this period.

Besides greatly improving his culinary skills by studying various recipes, the "deity statue" at the Helan Mountain Mountain God Temple also brought him a lot of incense offerings. In addition, the Wucheng City God Temple is about to be completed, and Chen Yang has agreed to erect a deity statue for it in a side hall of the City God Temple.

It is conceivable that as the incense at the City God Temple gradually becomes more abundant, it will also benefit from a large amount of incense offerings.

Most importantly, Cat Master has been going live almost every night to "sell goods" during this period.

Yes!

It broadcasts its own live streams and sells its own products!

It carries a statue of the "Nine Netherworld Patrol Envoy" that Chen Yang commissioned for it. The statue is an ordinary stone carving, the kind produced on a production line. Its size is about the same as a normal three-month-old kitten, and its appearance is naturally based on the Cat Lord, with various forms.

A statue of the Cat God sells for only 8.8 yuan with free shipping. It doesn't make a profit; in fact, it loses more than 10 yuan per statue. If you buy it and offer incense to it, it will ensure that your home and fields are free from rats.

Even if you don't farm, buying it as a decoration is still a good deal.

In just one week since he started selling the products himself, Cat Master has already sold more than 5 sets, and the incense offerings he earns every day are increasing.

Yang Shuai, Li Ali, Ruyi, and the others have almost completely cleared out the ghosts and evil spirits around Wucheng during this period, and their lives have become quite leisurely. Wherever someone dies, they just wait until night to collect their soul.

Among these deceased souls, some had accumulated good deeds and were of good character in life. Chen Yang bestowed upon them titles and made them responsible for collecting souls and taking lives in the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Wucheng.

Even the most ordinary dead souls can reach the level of fierce ghosts after being conferred by Jiang He. Especially when combined with the Soul-Locking Chain and the Mourning Staff, two magical weapons that are specifically designed to counter dead souls and spirits, these newly conferred ghost messengers also possess extremely strong combat power.

One underworld official can easily be in charge of two or three towns.

If we encounter any formidable opponents, Cat Master and Li Ali will naturally step in. After dinner, Chen Yang called over Yang Shuai, Li Ali, and Ruyi, and instructed them: "The situation in Wucheng has stabilized, so let's start expanding outwards... Our Xixia Prefecture has five cities. We have Wei Rufeng in Yincheng and Song Jingxuan in Helan County. We'll need the three of you to make a trip to Gucheng, ZW City, and Shizuishan City."

Yang Shuai: "Is it the same old rule? If you encounter someone who resists, just perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife. If they are obedient, bring them to the funeral home and send them off. We'll let you choose from the souls of those who did good deeds in their lifetime?"

Chen Yang nodded.

Yang Shuai said, "Then I'll go to Shizuishan. I'll purge the evil spirits and recruit new members. With my previous experience, I estimate the situation there should stabilize in seven days at most."

Ruyi: "Then my sister and I will go to Gucheng and Zhongwei."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "In this way, you will be considered meritorious officials who have followed me to expand our territory. When we promote you, your achievements will look better on the register of merit in the Yin Law Department."

In any case, Chen Yang still has no clue how to open up the Yin-Yang Path.

Instead of thinking about these things all day, we should start by developing the underworld officials from the Western Xia Prefecture to the five surrounding northwestern provinces and even the whole country. We should first wipe out the evil spirits and ghosts in the human world and make all the credit before we talk about anything else!
In the afternoon, Chen Yang went to Yincheng New City Gymnasium again.

There weren't many Taoist cultivators from Xixia Prefecture who signed up for the "Number One Taoist Cultivation Competition in the World." After several days of competition, it was coming to an end. Wang Xuan participated in a total of 7 matches and won every single one.

Chen Yang asked He Wanzhong about the upcoming schedule and learned that Wang Xuan still had two matches to play.

One match is tomorrow morning, and the other is the day after tomorrow.

Even if he loses both matches, his current performance is enough to represent Xixia Prefecture in the national competition in Kyoto.

"Then I'll finish tomorrow's match and then take the day after tomorrow off."

Chen Yang said, "I want to take him to Qingwei Dao Academy to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Qingwei Sect Leader."

He Wanzhong smiled and said, "Master Chen, you can arrange it as you see fit."

Chen Yang: "Then let's move Wang Xuan's match to the first one tomorrow. His cultivation level is too low. After the match, I need to give him some intensive training."

He Wanzhong: "Okay!"

The next day, Wang Xuan lived up to expectations and defeated his opponent.

His opponent was a middle-aged Daoist cultivator at the same Qi Refining seventh level, whose strength was not weak and whose combat experience far exceeded Wang Xuan's. However, Wang Xuan's Yin Spirit was powerful, and he cultivated the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method]. Whether it was his own cultivation or the power of the Daoist techniques he mastered, he was superior to his opponent, so winning was not difficult.

After the match, Chen Yang took Wang Xuan back to Wucheng.

“Wang Xuan, your Yin Spirit realm has reached the peak of the Sun Travel Realm, but your cultivation is still lacking. I have some Qi Condensation Pills here, which are pills developed by the Special Administration Bureau based on ancient pill formulas. After taking them, you can quickly improve your cultivation.”

"Here are a few bottles for you. Refine them quickly and raise your cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. Then, comprehend the nature of heaven and earth and strive to enter the Dao as soon as possible."

Wang Xuan accepted the pills and bowed deeply in gratitude.

Chen Yang flipped his hand again, taking out a bottle of Soul Condensing Pills and a Ghost Immortal Thought, and said, "Refining this bottle of Soul Condensing Pills and this Ghost Immortal Thought will be enough to raise your Yin God Realm to the Object Manipulation Realm. As for whether you can comprehend the Divine Soul Differentiation, that depends on yourself."

"This……"

Wang Xuan quickly said, "Commander Chen, this is too valuable!"

He had refined quite a few Soul-Gathering Pills, but the Ghost Immortal's thoughts...

It can be described as priceless!

Especially the "pure" thoughts of ghost immortals, which are difficult for even the major families and sects to produce. Only the underworld can give Chen Yang dozens of them at once.

Chen Yang laughed and said, "A few Soul Condensing Pills and Ghost Immortal Thoughts are nothing... Besides, if your cultivation is too weak, how can you be the top disciple of the Qingwei Sect?"

Wang Xuan was taken aback, but then he realized what was happening and immediately bowed down.

Although he had already become Gu Jinghui's apprentice, Chen Yang actually taught him much more and gave him a lot of treasures. In Wang Xuan's heart, although Chen Yang was not his master, he was no different from his master.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

He kowtowed repeatedly.

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "You're just going to accept me as your master like this...aren't you afraid your master will think something's wrong?"

Wang Xuan: "Master, I dare not lie to you... In fact, Master Gu had already told me that if there was an opportunity, I should become your disciple."

That guy Gu Jinghui!

Chen Yang cursed under his breath, then flipped his hand and took out the Blood Pattern Flying Sword, saying, "Since you have already become my disciple, the discipleship gift cannot be lacking. This is the Blood Pattern Flying Sword, which was given to me by the Special Administration Bureau. You should take it and nurture it with your divine soul power. After you have refined this bottle of Soul Condensation Pill and the Ghost Immortal Thought, you will probably be able to use it."

"Go!"

"Practice well."

Wang Xuan summoned the Yin God and began cultivating with the help of the Impermanence Umbrella.

As each Soul Condensing Pill was refined, his Yin Spirit power increased rapidly... Finally, when he refined the ninth Soul Condensing Pill, Wang Xuan's Yin Spirit power suddenly expanded, breaking through from the peak of the Sun Travel Realm to the Object Manipulation Realm!
His spirit flew out and took control of the Blood Pattern Flying Sword. He played happily for more than ten minutes before calming down and refining the last Soul Condensation Pill.

After that, Wang Xuan spent another two hours successfully refining that Ghost Immortal thought!
His Yin Spirit power increased once again, and he comprehended the realm of "Divine Soul Differentiation"!

At this moment, Wang Xuan's cultivation level was still at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but with just this one skill of soul splitting and soul manipulation, he was strong enough to enter the peak of the Dao Realm!

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

On September 7, 2025, Chen Yang and Wang Xuan rode the wind and returned to Qingwei Dao Academy.

The collapsed main hall has been restored to its original state, and the Qingwei Taoist Temple is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere... For the disciples of the Qingwei Sect, tomorrow's founding ceremony is indeed a day worth celebrating!
On the afternoon of the 7th, delegations from various aristocratic families and sects arrived at Qingwei Taoist Temple one after another to offer their congratulations.

at the same time.

A taxi stopped at the main gate of Qingwei Taoist Temple.

True Lord Chiyang stepped out of the carriage, carrying the "Ice Soul Divine Sword." Looking at the festively decorated gate of the Daoist temple, he let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, "I finally made it back before the founding ceremony..."

He glanced down at the Ice Soul Divine Sword in his arms, then thought to himself, "Grandmaster Yu Zhenzi said that something had happened at Qingwei Dao Academy... but it seems like everything is normal?"

Within the Ice Soul Divine Sword lies Yu Zhenzi's thirty-three Ghost Immortal Thoughts.

Having reached the Ghost Immortal realm, each thought can transform into an independent clone. These thirty-three thoughts were originally one with Yu Zhenzi's soul, so they naturally knew what had happened in Qingwei Dao Academy.

Shaking the Ice Soul Divine Sword, True Lord Chiyang said, "Ancestor, we have arrived."

hum!
The Ice Soul Divine Sword trembled, and thirty-three thoughts flew out, condensing into a figure, which was none other than Yu Zhenzi. She looked up at Qingwei Dao Academy, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes...

Finally, he spoke, "Let's go, follow me to pay our respects to our founder's newly appointed leader!" (End of Chapter)
