Chapter 277 Eliminating Hidden Dangers, Changing the Sky-Piercing Mountain
"what"

"."

At first, there was only one scream, but gradually the voices became different and turned into four.

The Puppet Master, the two patriarchs Fu and Kong, and even the Dragon God buried deep in the ravines of the Suspended Mountain, all cried out in unison.

The onlookers looked excited.

They dared not look directly at the Dharma form of the Void Ancestor, but they saw the High Priest standing atop the Blood Bone Dharma form, controlling it to stab the Void Dharma form with his sword.

At this moment, High Priest Li Wushou appeared almost like a celestial being in their eyes!

Li Wushou observed all of this intently, but he did not relax.

The Blood Bone Dharma Image sword strike, gathering the power of the realm and the power of heaven and earth, directly obliterated the crystal surface within the Void Dharma Image into nothingness.

With the control of the Xuan Yang Nascent Soul, Li Wushou's sword strike did not affect the crystal surface that sealed the ancestor of the Fu Zi lineage and the dragon god's mutated dragon body.

Therefore, it is normal for the Void Ancestor and the Puppet Daoist to cry out in pain, but the fact that the Floating Character Clan Ancestor and the Dragon God cried out in pain together can only mean that the soul of the Puppet Daoist who secretly imprisoned and refined them should still be there, and that the crystal surface that they are destroying at this moment should just be one of the hiding places of the other party.

If he were to let go now, although the Puppet Daoist might find it difficult to control the Void Ancestor again in the short term, he would still be a hidden danger.

After thinking it over, Li Wushou decided to go all out and completely eliminate the Puppet Daoist.

With a thought, the boundary power of the Taiji Dojo took advantage of the moment when the puppet Daoist's mind was shaken to completely envelop the Dharma image of the Void Ancestor, eliminating the opponent's boundary power in an instant.

At this point, the power of the Abdominal God's soul rippled out, quietly sensing the rhythm of the soul within the Dharma Image.

Although the soul of the Abdominal God had not yet undergone the transformation into an Infant, its quality was comparable to that of an Infant. He quickly discerned the soul rhythms of the Floating Character Pulse Ancestor and the Dragon God within it.

Next up were the remaining Void and Puppet Taoist.

Li Wushou had never met Master Kongwu before, so he was not very clear about Master Kongwu's original spiritual aura and spiritual rhythm.

From the moment he met Master Kongwu, the other party was already under the control of the Puppet Daoist.

Therefore, the soul that Li Wushou perceived from the beginning was actually the state of the two souls being combined together.

Furthermore, since Kongwu was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, Li Wushou had never observed him so closely before, so he had not been able to detect anything amiss.

At this moment, the souls of the two were violently fluctuating because the Rib Bone Sword had destroyed the Puppet Daoist's hiding crystal. Only after concentrating their senses did Li Wushou discover the abnormality.

Within the Dharma image, two divine souls were intertwined, their auras moving in a very similar rhythm, appearing at first glance as if they were one divine soul.

The puppet Taoist's soul had indeed not completely dissipated!
If it were an ordinary spirit, the Abdominal God should be able to distinguish it easily.

However, these two were, after all, Nascent Souls, and their soul quality surpassed that of the Abdomen God. Li Wushou was unaware of Kongwu's original soul aura, so it was difficult for him to distinguish who was the Puppet Daoist and who was the Ancestor Kongwu in a short period of time.

After some time, when the Void Ancestor awakens, it will probably be difficult for the other party to cooperate in opening their soul so that they can explore in this way.

If the Puppet Taoist continues to lie low, it will only make Huazhou full of uncertainty at any time.

Having no other option, Li Wushou had to find another way, starting with the souls of the ancestor of the Fu Zi lineage and the Dragon God.

Since the Floating Lineage Ancestor and the Dragon God screamed in agony at the same time when Kongwu and Kui Daoren were injured, then the other party must have had a divine soul connected to their divine souls.

Through a comprehensive investigation, Li Wushou finally found a completely different rhythm of the soul in the two souls.

This divine soul resonated with one of the intertwined divine souls of the Nascent Soul stage.

Based on the deduction, this must belong to the Puppet Daoist!
Li Wushou was overjoyed and used his abdominal spirit to explore the entire Void Formless Realm.

Finally, at the right shoulder blade of the Dharma image, they found a node where this divine soul often gathered.

Correspondingly, there is also a node where the soul gathers at the left scapula, which is presumably the location of the empty soul's lifeline.

Having discovered this, Li Wushou felt much more at ease.

He drew his rib-shaped sword, calmed his mind, and prepared to unleash his power.

The onlookers thought the situation had finally calmed down and began to celebrate with each other.

The ancestor of the Floating Meridian within the Void breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he had felt the pain deeply from Li Wushou's sword strike, and his heart ached terribly, it was still worth it to survive this crisis of annihilation.

Moreover, he could sense that Kong Wu was not dead. Although his mind was injured, it was good that he was not dead!

We really owe it all to Li Wushou!
Just then, Li Wushou, having finished charging up his power, suddenly raised his sword and thrust it directly into the crystal surface on Kong Wuxiang's right shoulder blade.

"Ho!"

The ancestor of the Floating Meridian, who was halfway through exhaling his breath, felt another burst of intense pain in his soul. He groaned but didn't even have time to cry out in pain.

Then I heard a shrill, desperate curse ring in my ears:

"Ah, Li Wushou, you will die a horrible death! When the Immortal Mountain enters the mortal world, you will surely wipe out your entire lineage, including that of the Great Venerable Zhenhai!"

Only then did the patriarch of the Fuzi lineage realize that the Immortal Mountain Man who was secretly controlling Kongwu's junior brother was still alive.

Despite the excruciating pain between my eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel grateful that Li Wushou was there.

On the other side, Li Wushou curled his lip upon hearing the curse.

He muttered to himself, "What does the lineage of the Great Lord of Zhenhai have to do with me!"
The force of his movements increased, completely shattering the crystal.

The belly god's divine soul scanned the empty image's body. The empty divine soul was weakened again due to the complete collapse of another crystal surface, but the puppet Taoist's divine soul that was entangled in it finally dissipated!
With a thought, the Rib Sword transformed into two streaks of light and flew back into the Blood Bone Dharma Image.

The void, devoid of form, vibrated incessantly and was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing an opportunity, the patriarch of the Floating Lineage endured the excruciating pain in his heart and quickly rode the floating cloud to pull himself out along the crystalline crack created by Li Wushou's rib sword.

In the instant it hovered above the suspended mountain, the floating clouds scattered in all directions, then swirled around the foot of the suspended mountain again, steadily supporting the constantly collapsing rocks.

Li Wushou ignored the actions of the patriarch of the Fuzi lineage. He stared intently at the empty Dharma image, frowning slightly, and muttered to himself, "Troublesome."

Perhaps because his soul was damaged, his empty soul still shows no signs of waking up.

Although Li Wushou swallowed more than a dozen crystal faces of the Dragon God's mutated dragon body, most of it still remained in the empty crystal faces and had not yet been refined.

Now that the suppression of the divine soul has been removed, the flesh and blood of these dragon gods have begun to erode the empty body.

If left unchecked, a new evil spirit may be born before the void even awakens.

Li Wushou wasn't worried about evil spirits, but rather felt it was too wasteful.

After thinking it over, taking advantage of the moment when the ancestor of the Floating Character lineage was lifting the Suspended Mountain, the boundary force of the Taiji Dojo sealed off the surrounding area.

Li Wushou took a step forward, took out a human skin control talisman from the Yin-Yang diagram, and placed it into the crystal surface of his empty left shoulder blade.

That place is where the empty soul and lifeline reside.

Then Li Wushou stared intently at his left shoulder. Apart from Xuan Yang Shangren, this was the first time Li Wushou had tried to control a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After the human skin control talisman fell into the crystal surface, it flashed red light. Then, the human skin melted into threads of flesh and blood that burrowed into the empty soul and spread to all parts of the body.

Li Wushou breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; the operation had gone surprisingly smoothly this time.

However, this may also be related to the state of emptiness.

But as long as everything goes smoothly, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

An invisible golden elixir emerged from Xuan Yang Shangren's brow and stepped into the empty crystalline surface of his left shoulder blade.

As Li Wushou controlled the spirit of the abdomen and became familiar with the empty body of the transformed spirit, he realized the difference between himself and Xuan Yang Shangren.

The opponent's soul was much more refined than that of Master Xuan Yang. Although in terms of boundary power, Kong Wu did not create a Dharma realm like the Tai Chi Dao Field as Xuan Yang did, he was somewhat inferior.

However, in terms of the power of heaven and earth and the divine soul, Kongwu is far superior to Xuanyang.

However, they had just spent some of their energy suppressing the ancestor of the Floating Character lineage and the mutated dragon of the Dragon God.

Moreover, Emptiness has already begun attempting to create a world.

The world created by the other party is based on this crystalline body. He keeps swallowing things into the crystalline surface, which should be his preparation for creating the world.

The Immortal Mountain likely took advantage of this, having the painter present the items that had been refined by the Puppet Taoist.

In this way, step by step, you can unknowingly take control of nothingness!
With a sigh of regret, Li Wushou used the power of emptiness to firmly seal the still-mutating dragon body within a crystal surface.

As for the other hundreds of mutated crystal faces, Li Wushou directly used his divine soul to recite "Food is Heaven" and used his Golden Core Dragon Seed to refine them one by one.

The Golden Core Dragon Seed is filled to one-fiftieth and one-sixtieth.
After refining nearly twenty crystals, Li Wushou frowned. Starting from the top crystal surface, the progress of these mutated crystal surfaces filling the Golden Core Dragon Seed began to stagnate.

Before refining the mutated crystal, Li Wushou's Golden Core Dragon Seed was about 15% complete. At this moment, the progress was stuck at around 25%.

This must be the limitation of the species. Li Wushou's Golden Core Dragon Seed had consumed a lot of dragon marrow during the refining process, and now the dragon body alone could no longer replenish the Golden Core Dragon Seed.

Li Wushou was somewhat helpless, because according to the Dragon King's introduction, after the dragon seed is filled to 30%, the enhancement to the physical body will be upgraded to a higher level. He called this stage "minor completion of the dragon seed".

Although Li Wushou's dragon seed is different from that of the Dragon King, that difference is only reflected in its form and strength.

He felt that they were probably about the same in terms of maturity.

He had thought that with so many mutated dragon bodies, he could quickly fill up 30% of the dragon population. Now it seems that filling up the dragon population requires not only quality but also variety.

After a moment, Li Wushou quickly accepted this fact.

He couldn't easily use the Golden Core Dragon Seed right now, so twenty-five it was. He wasn't far from thirty percent. If he could get a few more flesh and blood monsters similar to the Dragon King, he should be able to advance quickly.

Furthermore, the fact that the mutated crystal facet cannot fill the Golden Dragon Seed does not mean it is useless.

He can still fill his stomach and refine his spiritual power and soul.

It can also be used to entertain Chen Gou'er and the old beggar!
There are still dozens of mutated crystal facets remaining, which not only contain a large amount of flesh and blood, but also contain the incense from the dragon's body.

With the help of the Dharma Realm's cover, Li Wushou lured Chen Gou'er and the old beggar out of the Three Immortals Hall.

The old beggar hovered in mid-air, consuming incense offerings, a act of salvation for the void.

Kong Wu was, after all, on the path of immortality, and was almost forcibly pulled into the path of divinity by the puppet Daoist, who then raised the Heavenly God of Huazhou high.

The incense smoke remaining in his body is also highly poisonous, and will continuously shake his foundation in the path of immortality.

Chen Gou'er then burrowed into each of the crystal faces and began to devour them.

At first, he pinched his nose, because in the base smell that Chen Gou'er could detect, although the flesh and blood had been neutralized by the empty crystal surface, there was still some stench, just not as nauseating.

But as he ate, Chen Gou'er inexplicably felt a bit tipsy, so he simply stopped caring about anything else and started eating heartily.

Li Wushou also used his golden core to devour and refine his spiritual power!

The Three Immortals Pavilion allowed everyone to eat at the same time, and dozens of crystal noodles were devoured in less than half a cup of tea.

At the same time, the patriarch of the Floating Character lineage finally stabilized the Suspended Mountain. Looking up at the Blood Bone Dharma Image in the sky, which was manipulating the power of the realm to suppress the empty Dharma Image, he began to worry!
He wasn't worried that Li Wushou would take the opportunity to attack Kongwu. In his opinion, the reason why Xuan Kong Shan was able to escape danger this time was entirely due to Li Wushou's full assistance, and the other party couldn't possibly have any ulterior motives.

His first thought was of the scene where the Dragon God had transformed into a dragon body and was constantly transforming into the formless void.

Now that the person in charge of the Immortal Mountain has been eliminated, the fact that the Blood Bone Dharma Image is still using the power of the boundary to suppress the Dharma Image must be because of the mutation of that dragon body.

The next moment, his guess was confirmed.

The boundary force covering the Void Form dissipated, and the Void Form peeled off a piece of the interface that contained the mutated dragon body. Li Wushou manipulated the Blood Bone Dharma Form to swallow it in one gulp and store it in the skull.

Li Wushou wondered if the Dragon King still wanted the remaining mutated dragon body inside.
If he didn't want it anymore, Li Wushou planned to let the shadowy figure slowly devour him, providing him with pure Yin energy.

The incense sticks could also be refined by the old beggar.

As for meat, Chen Gou'er refused very decisively; he wouldn't eat it.

If they don't want to eat it, then so be it. Let the shadows refine it into Yin energy!
After peeling off this crystal surface, Li Wushou's formless golden core stepped back from the void into Xuan Yang's brow.

The vast void gradually disappeared, transforming back into an invisible crystalline membrane that enveloped the top of the suspended mountain. The empty divine soul within it remained dormant, but it was expected to recover soon.

The sky, which had fallen into darkness with no thoughts in it, became bright again.

Thus, the sky hanging high above the suspended mountain remained the same, but silently changed its master.

Li Wushou, just as empty as before, looked down at the entire suspended mountain!
Even after the void awakens, it will be the same.

What Li Wushou didn't know was that after the patriarch of the Fuzi lineage saw this scene, he had a different interpretation.

Even with his thousands of years of experience, the founder of the Floating Character lineage was deeply moved when he saw the Blood Bone Dharma Image swallow the Crystal Surface!

In the eyes of the patriarch of the Fu lineage, this Dharma image must have been a protective object given to Li Wushou by the Great Venerable.

How precious!

Even if Li Wushou is exceptionally talented, the Great Venerable will never bestow any further rewards upon him.

Such a precious thing, yet it actively suppressed the alienated dragon behind the void with its Dharma body.

Since the dragon god's mutated form can erode the empty Dharma form, it can naturally also erode the Dharma form summoned by Li Wushou.

What is this behavior?
This means transferring all the risks of the suspended mountain and even the entire Huazhou to oneself.

The High Priest is far too noble!

The founder of the Fu Zi lineage was deeply moved and felt extremely regretful.

The fact that someone with such talent and character was chosen ahead of time by the Great Venerable Zhenhai is a great loss to the Xuan Kong Mountain Sect and a dereliction of duty on his part!

If such a disciple were to enter the Suspended Mountain, how wonderful that would be!
If he had a choice, the founder of the Floating Lineage would rather give up his many years of achievements in building Huazhou and recruit Li Wushou into Xuankong Mountain. In that way, as long as he befriended Li Wushou, he could rise rapidly to the top of the Xuankong Mountain main sect.

It's too late!
Such a person of noble character would never betray the Great One.

Moreover, as one of the key figures in this great upheaval, the Great Venerable alone is enough to rival the grandeur of the Suspended Mountain Sect, so the other party would be even less likely to seek help from afar!
It is truly a sin!
Gazing at the towering figure standing atop the Blood Bone Dharma Image, who seemed to be holding back the sky, the Floating Lineage Patriarch's heart was filled with emotion.

The rest of the stewards and city gods were all shaken and deeply impressed.

They only had a superficial understanding of many things, but that didn't stop them from knowing one thing clearly: the biggest crisis facing the Suspended Mountain had dissipated.

All of this was thanks to the High Priest Li Wushou's heroic efforts in turning the tide!
They will never forget that when both skies of the Hanging Mountain fell into oblivion, it was the High Priest who stepped forward to sweep away everything and bring light back to the Hanging Mountain.

At this moment, Li Wushou's prestige among the crowd reached its peak.

After a moment of silence atop the suspended mountain, the patriarch of the Floating Character lineage materialized in mid-air and bowed deeply to Li Wushou.

"Thank you, High Priest, for your help in getting Mount Hanging out of danger!"

After much deliberation, the founder of the Fuzi lineage still felt that calling Li Wushou "Great Priest" was more affectionate. Although he could no longer recruit Li Wushou into the main sect of Xuankong Mountain, this did not affect the connection between Li Wushou and the incense offerings from Huazhou.

The other family leaders below, already deeply grateful to Li Wushou, bowed in unison after the patriarch of the Fu lineage appeared to express his thanks.

"Thank you, High Priest, for your help in getting Mount Hanging out of danger!"

Mu Tong followed in the crowd, bowing deeply to Li Wushou with an excited expression.

She was both happy and somewhat disappointed.

The High Priest's brilliance has finally been seen by everyone, but will the High Priest ever return to Five Directions City to serve as High Priest again?
Li Wushou's mind was still immersed in the perspective of emptiness. When he heard the patriarch of the Fuzi lineage and everyone's thanks, he had a strange feeling about eating.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the patriarch of the Floating Character lineage and replied:

"You're too kind, Master. My family's City God and I are both members of the Suspended Mountain. It's just a small contribution!"

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Fu lineage was overjoyed, but felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

What a wonderful child! How did the Great One choose him?

The others were equally delighted, and then looked at Mu Tong with envy.

The high priest still mentioned this little girl at this point, which shows how deep their affection is.

Many people are even thinking that if the High Priest were to propose that Mu Tong be made a god, I would support it!

Of course, this is just wishful thinking. Although Mu Tong's Yin Spirit is not bad, it is obviously far from being able to accommodate the incense offerings of the Refining Continent.

Li Wushou, unaware of what the others were thinking, quickly spoke up when he saw that the founder of the Fu lineage was about to exchange pleasantries:
“Master, the painter has spread the eggs of the Moth Queen in Wangxian City and Weixian Town. They are currently wreaking havoc. Let’s deal with them first before exchanging pleasantries. I will ride my Blood Bone Dharma Avatar to Weixian. How about you lead the others to deal with Wangxian City?”

The founder of the Fuzi lineage was taken aback, only then remembering that Elder Xia Yun and the others, along with that silver divine giant, were still dealing with the Moth King flying insects in Wangxian City.

Startled, he cupped his hands again to Li Wushou and thanked him, saying:

"Then I'll trouble you again, High Priest!"

The moment he finished speaking, he waved his hand and erected a floating cloud bridge over the suspended mountain, leading directly to the outside of the water curtain barrier, thus allowing them to reach the outside of Wangxian City at the fastest speed.

Li Wushou clasped his hands in a fist salute, then rode his Blood Bone Dharma Image and flew out along the Floating Cloud Bridge.

Seeing this, the patriarch of the Fu lineage withdrew his gaze and instructed the assembled family heads and the thirty-six city gods:

"Follow me into Wangxian City to clear out the Moth King Flying Insects!"
