Chapter 455 The Spirit Tablet of the True Self, Plotting Against the Golden Roc

It’s different in the past.

After his own Daoist aura underwent a transformation, Li Wushou became more composed in the face of the war between the two regions.

Stretching, it emerged from the sacred palace beehive, isolated by incense offerings, in the form of a golden bee spirit.

With a thought, the spirit tablet that had merged into Dao Yun's body began to glow.

The talisman master, thousands of miles away, sensed something and mobilized his men to delve deep into the Sealed Spirit Path.

To ensure the comprehensiveness of the investigation, personnel were assigned to cover a wide area this time.

Once these people have arrived at their designated locations, Li Wushou can then focus his mind and observe the situation of his primordial spirit, the Sparrow.

This will take some time, at least three to five days.

Li Wushou was not in a hurry about this. Although he had not paid attention to the situation of the war between the two regions in the past few days, Luanxuan, Ma Feng and others did not interrupt his seclusion.

It seems both sides are making preparations!

After calming his mind, Li Wushou began to receive messages from Daoist Zizhen and Luanxuan through his spirit tablet.

In the past, when he contacted Zizhen and others, he was not only limited by the region, but also needed to burn incense to communicate with them through the spirit tablet. Even his spiritual descent required the spirit tablet.

Therefore, those who enslaved the minds of others through the spirit control talisman, including his abdominal spirit, primordial spirit, and invisible golden elixir, were controlled by the spirit tablet rather than by him.

Li Wushou had also asked the old beggar what this memorial tablet represented.

He had long felt that the reason he didn't have a soul wasn't because he truly didn't have one, but because it was gathered together by the spirit tablet.

Because when his mind is entrusted to the spirit tablet, he will feel a sense of nourishment.

This shows that his mind was born from the spirit tablet!

The old beggar never said much about this, only that the most important thing about the Three Immortals Hall was these three spirit tablets with their own names written on them.

Only this spirit tablet can protect the three people's minds and prevent them from revealing their whereabouts!
Li Wushou didn't understand the reasoning behind it, but he obediently followed the old beggar's instructions and offered incense to the memorial tablet every day.

Before Li Wushou began cultivating, the Three Immortals Hall did indeed turn misfortune into good fortune thanks to the spirit tablet. Over time, Li Wushou got used to it all.

This time, after the spirit tablet merged with his Daoist spiritual body, Li Wushou was able to control it with even greater ease.

Nourished by the Daoist spiritual body, Li Wushou could sense the minds of Daoist Zizhen and Luanxuan without even needing to offer incense.

Luanxuan is alright, but Daoist Zizhen is in the border region of the northern frontier, where two Venerables reside.

Especially after the Sparrow Lord's divine sense descended, the two guarded even more closely, but they could not stop the connection between Li Wushou and Zizhen Daoist.

This made Li Wushou think that even if he were still at the ends of the earth, far from the martial arts champion's home, his connection with the outside world would not be severed.

However, Li Wushou did not give up offering incense. While receiving the message from Daoist Zizhen, he still inserted three sticks of bone incense into the incense burner.

After a while, the information was received.

As he had envisioned, the Central Domain completely reversed the balance of power between the Northern Frontier Pass and the Central Domain.

Then, troops were dispatched to the northern border pass. At this moment, the number of newly gathered Nascent Soul cultivators at the northern border pass was close to twenty, and the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs had reached dozens.

Although their cultivation level is not as high as it was at the beginning, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators remaining from the beginning is extremely terrifying!
This is a force powerful enough to sweep away the Sealed Spirit Path.

However, Dao Yan and Huang Shigong did not implement the same aggressive strategy as they had initially.

These people were divided into four groups by the two men. Zi Zhen, Xue Yan, Kun Shan, and Shou Qiren each led one group of men, while Dao Yan and Huang Shigong personally commanded the Yan Yang and Xuan Huang flags to bring up the rear.

Starting from Jiangbei Pass, they began to approach Zhongtian Pass a day earlier.

The four groups of people were not moving fast, but with each step they took, they propelled the blazing sun's light and the power of the primordial chaos forward.

It's not hard to see that this time, the Central Domain is preparing to turn the tide over all the regions outside Zhongtian Pass, resolve all its worries, and then concentrate all its efforts to break through Zhongtian Pass.

Zhongtian Pass is located in the northwest of Fengling Road, at one-third of its length.

Even if they were to capture it, it wouldn't necessarily cause the Sparrow Lord to completely abandon the Sealing Spirit Path and instead attack the Central Domain.

Therefore, Zhongtian Pass should be the psychological red line for both sides when the coordinates of the Sparrow Lord's Sacred Domain were not exposed!

This can also be seen from the information provided by Luanxuan!
During this period, as the Central Region continued to mobilize troops, Sparrow God Mountain was also mobilizing its forces behind Zhongtian Pass to enter Zhongtian Pass.

It was even rumored that the Right Elder, Xuan Ya, personally left Sparrow God Mountain to summon Nascent Soul cultivators who harbored resistance to enter Zhongtian Pass. The result, naturally, was remarkable!

There are now nearly twenty Nascent Soul cultivators gathered inside Zhongtian Pass.

This has almost completely depleted the resources of the Fengling Dao!

This is also more than the number of Nascent Soul cultivators that Li Wushou had previously estimated.

Therefore, it is evident that if the method of sealing spirits has no side effects, it is indeed a shortcut compared to ordinary immortal cultivation methods.

However, there are gains and losses. At this moment, the aura within Zhongtian Pass exudes a restrained violence, indicating that the Nascent Soul cultivators who gathered later were not in good condition.

However, Queshenshan obviously doesn't care about these things.

Whether these conditions are good or bad is irrelevant, as long as they don't hinder the opponent's desperate fight.

During his report, Luanxuan also shared his own feelings.

He felt that Elder Zuo Jinpeng was simply ensuring that these people would remain at Zhongtian Pass to fight against the Central Region.

The other side didn't care about the results at Zhongtian Pass at all. Even if they failed to block the Central Region and all these people died at Zhongtian Pass, he didn't care.

So in the past few days, he cooperated with Elder Zuo to exaggerate the battle in Jiangbei Pass several times in Zhongtian Pass.

Each time, Jinpeng would bestow Dao Fruits as rewards and exaggerate their significance.

This is to motivate everyone to fight to the death.

Therefore, the two sides had different perceptions of the fierce battle at Jiangbei Pass.

The Central Domain is seeking stability, while the Sealed Spirit Path is seeking war!
The Central Region's gradual advance in the war could not be kept secret from the people of Zhongtian Pass. In the past few days, Elder Zuo Jinpeng had been gathering everyone to discuss ways to block the attack.

However, opinions differ on the method, and no consensus has been reached!
Some advocated forming elites to voluntarily leave the pass, while others favored staying at Zhongtian Pass and waiting for opportunities to arise.
After listening to the reports from both sides, Li Wushou had an increasingly strong intuition that the decisive battle between the two regions might not take place on Sparrow God Mountain, but rather at Zhongtian Pass.

Although the Central Domain appears stable, Zhu Liuli has already laid down the Primordial Spirit Sparrow.

With a single thought, the people of the Central Region who ventured deep into the Sealed Spirit Path would most likely become the breeding ground for his primordial spirit, Zi Que.

Dao Yan and Huang Shigong were clearly unaware of this, but Yan Wu and Xuan Huang were unsure.

Both sides might be harboring ulterior motives!

Therefore, Li Wushou delayed detonating this bomb.

Even after hearing the report, he still did not intend to detonate it.

He is now planning something else—Elder Jin Peng!
If the other party can easily produce two Dao Fruits, they must have other Dao Fruits on them.

Having experienced the influence of the Dao Fruit on his own Daoist aura, Li Wushou naturally did not want to let these things go.

And coincidentally, he was holding a bait in his hand—the bait that the other party had given to the vulture!

After the old beggar refined it, the bait became even more reliable.

In the past few days, Luanxuan has secretly communicated with Jinpeng, following Li Wushou's previous instructions.

Luanxuan clearly stated that the Dao Fruit was not given to Wujiu.

Although Jin Peng didn't say it, his improved attitude towards Luan Xuan showed that he was quite pleased with Luan Xuan's understanding.

Clearly, Jin Peng had been preoccupied with this bait from the very beginning.

Just as Luanxuan said, he is a stingy person!
Li Wushou was speechless when he thought of this.

But being stingy is good, because only by being stingy can you have opportunities!
Now that the vulture is about to die, the time has come.

Li Wushou immediately sent a message to Luanxuan:
"He volunteered to lead Ma Feng and other former troops from the northern border out of the pass to intercept the advancing force of Hunting Kunshan."

In the main hall of the temple, Luanxuan, who was participating in the meeting, became solemn upon hearing this.

Amidst the ongoing debate, Zheng Zhong rose solemnly and volunteered to Jin Peng, who was seated at the head of the table:

"Greetings, Elder Zuo. Luanxuan is willing to lead the old followers of Jiangbei Pass out of Zhongtian Pass to intercept and kill Kunshan, a disciple of Xuanhuang Sect. We have fought against him several times at Jiangbei Pass and are willing to kill him to strengthen the power of Fengling Dao!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent!
