Chapter 227 Core Formation Valley of Ehuang

Li Wushou entered Ehuang Valley
He was completely clueless; he had never been here before.

On his way to Wushi Town, through the sincere confessions of several treacherous wandering sorcerers, he learned a general understanding of Ehuang Valley.

But those are just some legends about Ehuang.

The road, full of tire tracks, gradually became a path, and the path gradually turned into sparse, trampled grass, until it was completely deserted.

Li Wushou simply continued onward in the direction away from the Misty Land.

The shadowy figures along the way kept looking around expectantly, trying to find some mountain spirits or ghosts.

As fate would have it, he actually found a few evil spirits lurking in the mountains and forests. However, Li Wushou had no intention of capturing them at the moment, and simply had the shadowy figure remember their locations.

The shadowy figure wasn't in a hurry; it had just eaten two compound eyes, and the living souls inside hadn't had time to digest them yet.

It was just preparing for the future; it had a vague feeling that this time it wouldn't have an easy time.

Li Wushou had stored too much grain in it, so much that it was starting to panic. Li Wushou clearly intended to use this grain for something big, and fearing it wouldn't be enough, he casually ate it as well.

Thinking that by gathering more evil spirits as reserves, he could have a better chance of survival.

Lately, it has been quite confused. It's been eating well, so why isn't it as happy as it was when it was starving?
After traveling for more than half an hour, Li Wushou still didn't know where he was, only that he was definitely deep in Ehuang Valley.

As the fog thinned, the birds and beasts resting in the mountains began to stir, and the tranquil deep mountains began to be filled with various sounds. Not far from where Li Wushou was, a group of mountain goblins were about to go out to hunt.

Li Wushou found it too noisy, so he walked a little further and finally found a rather suitable spot.

The original mountain peak collapsed in half, leaving only half of the mountain rising straight into the sky, while the other half turned into large and small rubble piled up at the foot of the mountain, which has now been covered by trees again.

Li Wushou leaped into the air and landed in the pile of rocks. Two broken boulders formed a horn-like shape, creating a stable triangular gap.

After clearing out a black bear that was fast asleep, Li Wushou decided that this was the place!
With a thought, the paper goddess flew out from between his eyebrows.

The moment the other party appeared, it brought out a third of the prepared evil spirit meat and respectfully handed it to Li Wushou.

Li Wushou casually took it, ate a bite, and exclaimed, "Not bad!"

The Paper Goddess was overjoyed, "I'm glad the Second Master likes it!"

Upon seeing this, the old beggar inside the Three Immortals Pavilion rolled his eyes in anger and cursed the traitor!

The Paper Goddess was unaware of these things. After speaking, she swiftly put the still-sleeping black bear into a piece of Blood Longevity Paper.

Among the recipes she collected in Daishan City were several recipes for cooking black bears.

Li Wushou, carrying the evil flesh, instructed the Paper Goddess:

"I need to go into seclusion here for a while, and I need you to keep watch on the perimeter for me."

As he spoke, Li Wushou took out four sticks of incense, handed them to the Paper Goddess, and continued:
"This incense was made by the master. Take it for self-defense. Now that you're considered a member of the Three Immortals Hall, you can barely use this incense. But remember, don't eat the incense; you can't handle it!"

"Yes, Second Master!"

The paper goddess accepted the incense with a solemn expression and held it tightly.

He bowed to Li Wushou and then walked out of the cave.

As she put the incense back into her bosom, the Paper Goddess felt a surge of emotion, tears welling up in her eyes. "Second Master is so kind! He even cares about my safety!"
He then quickly composed himself, for the Second Master was in seclusion and not even a mosquito could fly in!
Six arms slowly rose from behind and above the head, each forming a different hand seal. Suddenly, tiny figures cut from blood-stained longevity paper flew out from under the robes.

The moment the little man flew out, he floated directly towards the trees surrounding the cave.

Looking down at the positions of these tiny figures, they seem to form a lotus flower shape.

The little figure stands on the tree and merges with the trees below, then connects with the earth's energy to form a lotus magic array, protecting the cave within.

The Paper Goddess herself sat cross-legged on a piece of broken rock at the top of the cave, guarding all directions.

Just then, a mandrill clinging to a vine accidentally crossed the magic circle. While still in mid-air, it was drained of its life essence by the small paper figure on the tree trunk and turned into a dried-up corpse that fell to the ground.

The other mandrills following behind were terrified and quickly swam among the trees, moving away from the area. In no time, the place became quiet.

Li Wushou sat cross-legged in the cave, calming his mind and spirit.

After giving instructions to the Paper Goddess, he paid no more attention to the outside world.

He trusted the Paper Goddess to handle things, and besides, he didn't expect her to protect him; he just didn't want to be bothered unnecessarily.

With a thought, the Tai Chi Dao field emanated from the divine aperture between his eyebrows.

Li Wushou casually took it and stuffed it into a crevice in a rock.

The Tai Chi movement within the dantian resonates with the Tai Chi dojo, and the gates of the Tai Chi dojo quietly open.

Li Wushou took a step forward and was already sitting cross-legged in mid-air above the Tai Chi dojo.

During this period, thanks to the nourishment of Li Wushou's Yin and Yang energies, the Yin-Yang Daoist Temple began to be filled with traces of Daoist charm, and the temple as a whole recovered a great deal.

Master Xuanyang moved his cave dwelling from Baiyuzhu to the mountains outside the edge of the Daoist temple.

During this time, the other party's condition has improved considerably. This dojo is related to his life. While Li Wushou was nourishing the dojo, the other party also gained a lot of benefits and is currently in seclusion.

He swallowed the demonic flesh whole, feeling the surging blood energy within his body, and murmured:
"Let's begin!" Li Wushou took out the human skin golden pill from his pocket and swallowed it in one gulp.

He silently chanted "Food is the most important thing," and the terrifying digestive power instantly ground the golden pill into powder, which then vanished into nothingness.

Under the operation of the Tai Chi Dao Jing, the massive amount of Qi and blood energy is evenly divided into Yin and Yang energy and revolves around the Yin and Yang core.

The Tai Chi dojo trembled slightly, and the Yin-Yang Tai Chi beneath Li Wushou began to circulate.

Strands of Yin and Yang energy rapidly liquefied, and then were further refined and purified as Tai Chi circulated.

His dantian, which was several times larger than that of an average person, was finally almost full after a period of continuous hunting and nourishment.

Li Wushou calmed his mind and focused his inner self, constantly compressing the Yin and Yang energies.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Wushou suddenly trembled, and the entire Tai Chi dojo shook as well.

Master Xuan Yang, who was in seclusion in his cave outside the dojo, suddenly changed his expression and rushed out of the cave, looking towards the direction of the Taiji Dojo.

Above the Tai Chi dojo, a bright sun hung high on the right and a dark moon floated quietly on the left, both in a full circle.

Beneath the day and the night, Li Wushou sat cross-legged in the void, with yin and yang energies swirling around him, connecting heaven and earth!
Master Xuan Yang opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while, he murmured, "The sun and moon share the same sky, and yin and yang unite to create heaven and earth!"

The sun and moon appear so real, how can they possess such immense spiritual power?

When he broke through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity stage, it was nothing more than a wisp of sun and crescent moon.

What level of skill does the other person possess?
The slight resentment in Xuan Yang Shangren's heart vanished instantly. The other party was indeed one of the Three Immortals. How long had it been since he obtained the Taiji Dao Scripture?
It seems like I've cultivated to this level in the time it takes to take a nap?
Li Wushou, who was in mid-air, focused his mind. Just now, his dantian was finally filled!
At this moment, a vortex formed in the center of the dantian, and the speed of the Tai Chi rotation had reached its limit.

The boundary between Yin and Yang blurred, turning into two afterimages that formed a black and white sphere, vaguely resembling a round pill.

But Li Wushou's brows furrowed slightly. He had already incorporated a large amount of blood energy into the spiritual energy, but no matter how he compressed it, the black and white sphere could not condense and solidify into a golden core.

It can only maintain this high-speed rotation, appearing as a round disc.

This is definitely not the Golden Core stage, because once you get into a battle and your spiritual energy is consumed too much, this state will collapse.

Even if the spiritual energy of a Golden Core cultivator is exhausted, it is still in the state of a Golden Core cultivator; this is another level!
So, without God, it really can't be accomplished?
Li Wushou's expression was solemn. He had expected this, so there was no need to waste his energy.

With a thought, the Yin-Yang diagram floated above his head, and two human skin talismans floated out from the diagram and hovered in front of Li Wushou.

One of them is the God-Capturing Talisman that imprisons the mysterious Abdominal God, and the other is the "God-Snatching Talisman" that the old beggar drew on human skin when he last controlled Xuan Yang Shangren.

During the time of the Luotou clan, the high priest Luosang forcibly seized the mind of the ancestral god using the God-Seizing Talisman, and then manipulated the gods at his feet and in his belly using the God-Controlling Talisman. At the same time, the God-Seizing Talisman and the God-Controlling Talisman formed a primary and secondary relationship, thereby manipulating everything and achieving a trinity!

Therefore, although Li Wushou had no god, he planned to use the God-Seizing Talisman to forcibly seize a "god" to serve as his own.

As long as this "god" is under his control, then who dares to say that this "god" is not his god?

During this time, he has been thinking about a question: which "god" can he choose to become his god?

When Li Wushou first met Master Xuanyang, he was actually pleasantly surprised.

The other party is proficient in Yin and Yang and is in the Nascent Soul stage of a half-deity, so he should be the best candidate for "god".

But after thinking it over, Li Wushou gave up.

Because he doesn't need a "god" to help him manipulate the power of yin and yang; he can manipulate it himself. He only needs a "god" to help him solidify his golden core.

From this perspective, the mysterious and unpredictable Abdominal God is quite compatible with himself.

The abilities that Li Wushou and the old beggar deduced from the other party alone included: the power to bewitch people's hearts, the ability to parasitize and control people's hearts, and even the ability to manipulate others into their clones and puppets.

How could Li Wushou not be envious of such a bizarre and unpredictable ability?

If this method can be successfully completed, Li Wushou will not only be able to obtain a golden elixir, but also has a high probability of inheriting the various abilities of the "Abdominal God". Why not?
This is the Golden Core path that Li Wushou set for himself!
He had already considered this many times in his mind, and now there was no need to hesitate!

The power of Yin and Yang emanated from his body, and Li Wushou focused his mind to construct a Yin-Yang domain in front of him, which was within his control within a radius of three zhang.

With a thought, the inscriptions on the God-Catching Talisman flickered with red light and slowly began to wriggle.

A buzzing sound echoed through the void as the Abdominal God broke free from the human skin.

Ripples spread through the void as the opponent, the moment they broke free, thought of fleeing into the distance.

However, under the Yin-Yang Law Domain, the Abdominal God was firmly bound in place.

"Young man, we have no past grievances or recent feuds, so why are you forcing me like this?"

A mysterious power quietly descended, as if persuading Li Wushou to release the other party.

A mist swirled between Li Wushou's brows as he gazed intently at the formless and ethereal spirit within him, and earnestly replied:

"No enmity? You cheated me out of two of my best spines, chopped off my seven legs, and just now you even tried to bewitch me!"

Having said that, he didn't want to waste any more words with the Abdominal God. With a thought, the inscriptions on the God-Seizing Talisman began to wriggle, and Li Wushou's skin burrowed into the lines of the inscriptions, then flew directly into the Abdominal God's body.

"Come! Become my god!"
