Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 230 Slaying Evil and Preserving Food
At the foot of Broken Mountain in Ehuang Valley
The Paper Goddess sat cross-legged in the void, her six arms raised high.

Above her head was a lotus flower connected to the earth's energy, and the blood-red paper figures and trees from all directions were drawing in the earth's energy and flowing into the lotus flower.

A giant lotus bloomed in the void, blocking all the boulders falling from the sky.

Beneath her was the cave where Li Wushou was in seclusion; if the boulder fell, the cave would be destroyed in an instant.

The Paper Goddess wasn't worried that the stones would hurt the Second Master, but this time the Second Master's seclusion lasted for five or six days, the longest the Paper Goddess had ever seen, so he must have something important to do.

These falling rocks won't hurt the Second Master, but they'll ruin his plans.

She would never allow it!
Everything was going quite smoothly at first, and because several mandrills had died, no other wild animals came to attack.

Later, several evil spirits lingered outside the lotus formation several times, but after the Paper Goddess emitted the incense-like aura of the Yin God, these evil spirits wisely left.

But just recently, an unexpected event occurred!

First, golden lotuses of the Dao suddenly appeared near the place where the Second Master was in seclusion.

The Paper Goddess was not very knowledgeable, and she did not understand what had happened.

But she could tell the difference between good and bad things, and the golden lotus had a strange attraction for her, making her instinctively want to immerse herself in it.

But the next moment she went against her instincts and forced herself to be alert to her surroundings.

She will be attracted, and other things will certainly be attracted as well. She will not allow anything to disrupt the Second Master's seclusion.

This was her promise; the Second Master trusted her so much, and she didn't want to disappoint him!

A short while later, she heard rustling sounds coming from the surrounding mountains and forests.

Those wild beasts that usually dared not approach were now drawn by Dao Lian's aura.

But she wasn't worried about these things because they were protected by lotus magic arrays. As long as these beasts crossed the magic domain, their life essence would be drained by the Blood Longevity Paper Doll.

What she was really worried about were the evil spirits and mountain spirits.

Sure enough, she soon sensed seven or eight auras approaching from afar!

The Paper Goddess calmed her mind and took out a stack of Blood Longevity Paper. These were confiscated by the officials of the City God Temple when the Wusheng Pawnshop in Wufang City withdrew and given to the Second Master. The Second Master later gave them to her.

In fact, many of the three masters kept a lot of their things with her.

The three masters of the Three Immortals Pavilion seemed to have an inexplicable tacit understanding, all of them choosing to hide something in the White Paper Taoist Temple.

For example, the eldest master's mud-strip incense, the several boxes of gold and silver that the second master plundered along the way, and the several large bags of white bone cicadas that the third master picked up on White Bone Mountain.
As a result, the already small white paper Taoist temple was crammed with things, and now she has to transform into a paper figure to stay inside whenever she needs to rest.

The paper goddess felt that this was a sign of the three masters' trust in her, and she was delighted with it.

Therefore, with these blood-stained longevity paper scrolls, and the fact that the Paper Goddess had refined a lot of incense during this period, she was not afraid of these evil spirits at all.

As long as she focuses on manipulating the lotus magic array and replenishes the blood-longevity paper dolls at any time, these evil spirits simply cannot get in.

But at that moment, another unexpected event occurred, and a terrifying aura suddenly descended, sweeping across the sky above Ehuang Valley.

The paper goddess subconsciously lit the incense left by the second master, bathing in the fragrant smoke.

"Click~!"

The oppressive aura swept over the Paper Goddess's head, shattering the lotus magic array.

The paper goddess was greatly shocked. Fortunately, her spirit had made great progress during this time; otherwise, even with the protection of incense, she might have fainted directly.

She vividly remembered this feeling; she seemed to have experienced it before on White Bone Mountain.

What exactly is this?
Faced with this oppressive force, the Paper Goddess felt as if she had encountered the ultimate force of all things, and she could not muster any strength at all.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one with this feeling; all the evil spirits and mountain spirits simultaneously fainted.

This made the Paper Goddess both horrified and relieved.

Otherwise, if they take advantage of this moment to rush into the magic circle, the Paper Goddess really wouldn't know what to do.

The oppressive aura swept back and forth several times before finally dissipating slowly.

The entire Ehuang Valley was as silent as a dead zone!

Just then, the broken mountain jutting out from above, crushed by the immense pressure, cracked and began to fall.

The Paper Goddess noticed this scene and, without even catching her breath, quickly scattered the Blood Longevity Treasure paper figures in all directions to support the lotus formation and block the falling rocks.

This wasn't too difficult for her, but before long, more and more rocks fell on Baolian, and the Paper Goddess found it increasingly difficult to bear the burden.

What worried her even more was that the few evil spirits and mountain spirits who had been stunned by the oppressive force were slowly waking up, shaking their heads.

The moment these evil spirits and mountain spirits stood up, they looked towards the cave. At that moment, the lotus flower above the cave had already dissipated.

They were furious and directed their anger at the Paper Goddess, scrutinizing her with murderous intent in their eyes.

The intelligent creatures quickly realized the Paper Goddess's predicament, so they each used their own methods to first kill the Blood Longevity Treasure Paper Figurines on the surrounding trees, cutting off the earth energy supply to the Lotus.

"Buzz. Buzz!"

A buzzing sound rang out, and the Paper Goddess didn't have time to fold paper figures to replenish them. The earth's energy supply was cut off, and the Lotus Magic Array above her head was about to dissipate.

"Crack!" Several sounds rang out in succession as evil spirits and mountain spirits broke through the magic array from all directions and charged towards the Paper Goddess!

The Paper Goddess's expression was resolute. With a thought, a white paper Taoist temple appeared out of thin air and slowly grew larger. This time, she did not cover herself with the white paper Taoist temple. Instead, she threw the white paper Taoist temple into the void to protect the cave.

This action further solidified the thoughts of the evil spirits and mountain spirits that there must be a treasure in this cave that could give birth to a Dao Lotus!
With her long-prepared killing moves unleashed, the Paper Goddess raised her six arms in different hand seals the instant the lotus above her head shattered, shattering the falling rocks into smaller pieces.

This way, the Taoist temple can avoid being overwhelmed by a sudden barrage of attacks!

She wanted to bombard him a few more times, but it was too late; several sinister spells had already reached him.

The Paper Goddess gritted her teeth before turning to face the enemy, but it was too hasty. She tried to use the white paper to create a distance in the void, but since she was not in the dojo, she could not cast spells as freely and needed time.

There was no other option but to tough it out!

With three or four spells aimed at her, how could the paper goddess withstand them?

The Paper Goddess sighed, realizing she had failed to fulfill the Second Master's request!
But she would not let these evil spirits get away with it. The Paper Goddess stirred up the evil spirits, preparing for mutual destruction!

Just then, the Paper Goddess suddenly felt her thoughts freeze slightly, and then she saw the spell that was about to reach her strangely stop in mid-air.

Before he could understand what was happening, he suddenly felt a lightness on his neck and was lifted backward several feet away from the range of the spell attack.

After regaining her footing, she finally saw the tall, slender figure standing before her, clad in a Yin-Yang Taoist robe. The Paper Goddess exclaimed in delight:

"Second Master!"

Then, feeling somewhat ashamed, he stood there, knowing that the Second Master must have been woken up by the noise!
The seven or eight evil spirits and mountain spirits who were attacking the Paper Goddess from all directions were first stunned when they saw Li Wushou suddenly appear, and then they were horrified.

Putting aside the fact that the opponent appeared like a ghost, he simply stood there without making the slightest move, and the void in front of him began to ripple, directly annihilating everyone's long-accumulated spells in the void.

Just then, rubble began to fall from the sky!
But as soon as they get within about ten feet of the other's head, all these pebbles, regardless of size, are turned into powder!
This is a Dharma Domain?! The other party is a Golden Core cultivator!
These evil spirits and mountain spirits are able to survive in Ehuang Valley, and each of them is comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so their strength and eyesight are naturally not bad.

They were even more horrified when they saw Li Wushou's condition!

Even a Golden Core cultivator's domain shouldn't so easily obliterate everyone's techniques, right?

Nevertheless, the other party still seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

He was getting impatient with the constant stream of falling rocks.

Suddenly, a flash of blood-red light appeared before the opponent, and a red beam streaked across the sky above their head, instantly turning the continuous stream of falling rocks into nothingness. The red beam continued its trajectory, slicing diagonally across half of the towering, broken mountain!

"Crack! Boom!"

The mountain split in two again, with the upper half sliding along the diagonal line drawn by the red light towards the forest on the other side, causing a huge roar!

A single sword cleaves a mountain?!

The evil spirits and mountain spirits shuddered!

How could they not realize they'd encountered a tough opponent? They quickly turned to retreat!
Immediately afterward, as if the terrifying pressure from before had reappeared, all the evil spirits and mountain spirits felt their minds falter, and the flow of their yin energy and blood energy became somewhat sluggish.

When I tried to run again, I felt like I was in a sticky swamp. The more I struggled, the more suffocated I felt!

The evil spirits and mountain spirits were unable to move an inch, turning their eyes to look in Li Wushou's direction, begging him to spare their lives!
A vertical line appeared between Li Wushou's brows, and then he turned around abruptly.

He could see that some evil spirits and mountain spirits were begging for mercy again, and he couldn't bear to watch!
So he quickened his pace, and the moment he turned around, a series of "bang" sounds echoed from the void behind him.

One by one, the evil spirits and mountain spirits exploded eerily, turning into ashes.

It was as if there was an unseen entity in the void that crushed and devoured these evil mountain spirits one by one.

The Paper Goddess stared in disbelief at the scene until Li Wushou walked to her side and helped her put away the white paper temple, at which point she came to her senses.

"Second Master, it's me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Wushou handed the white paper Taoist temple back to the Paper Goddess, patted her on the shoulder, and said:

"Well done. How long have I been in seclusion?"

Li Wushou's actions flattered the Paper Goddess, who quickly bowed and replied:
"The Second Master has been in seclusion for nearly six days."

Li Wushou nodded slightly. At this moment, the mountain mist was gradually thinning, and dawn was approaching.

With a thought, the invisible golden elixir returned to the space between his eyebrows, and the vertical lines on his forehead closed without leaving any trace.

The magic domain swirled back, leaving only one ferocious monster among the mountain spirits and evil spirits that had just attacked. Li Wushou tossed it at the feet of the Paper Goddess and commanded:

"Let's grill it! I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood!"

After saying that, Li Wushou moved his feet and disappeared from the spot.

As they moved deep into the mountains, the dark shadow behind Li Wushou was extremely excited, for it had just heard Li Wushou's instructions.

"Let's search the nearby mountains and forests for any evil spirits; we need to store some food!"

Just now it was worried that another big eater had joined Li Wushou's side, because those few evil spirits had been eaten before it even had a chance to smell them!
The shadowy figure suddenly felt the darkness of life and was filled with sorrow.

Unexpectedly, Li Wushou's words of advice were like a ray of light, illuminating his path forward.

The idea that storing some food means I can eat some too, right?
Two chapters will be posted now, and the next one will follow shortly!
