Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Many Daoist cultivators would arrange for people to take turns searching for the statue in the underworld every day.

Progress was not very fast to begin with.

However, after a third of the city was destroyed by the [Sky Patrol Treasure], the progress suddenly accelerated significantly.

Hmm... at least a third of the area doesn't need to be searched anymore.

Because everything in that one-third of the area was cut off and destroyed.

Moreover, although the city quickly returned to normal after being struck by the [Sky Patrol Treasure], many disturbances occurred during the process.

Amidst a series of upheavals, Ruo Jinghong and others finally discovered clues about the statue of the Western Ghost Emperor/Western God Emperor.

Grand mansion:

Ma Qingqiu said with great enthusiasm, "When I was chatting with the lady of a large mansion, she said that many people in the mansion worship a strange statue."

As he spoke, he described the size and shape of the statue as described by the hostess.

"I secretly took a look at the statues, and they are almost exactly the same as what you described."

Wang Quan nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

Ma Qingqiu blinked: "Fellow Daoist, when shall we make our move?"

Wang Quan thought for a moment, then looked at Ruo Jinghong: "What about your news?"

Ruo Jinghong's news was similar to Ma Qingqiu's; it was also discovered in a large mansion.

Within that courtyard, all living beings worshipped that statue.

"Fellow Daoist, what should we do next?"

Wang Quan said, "What I'm looking for is a special statue."

"This statue will make ghosts, monsters, and their descendants feel the urge to possess it."

"They would never share the statues with outsiders."

"We need to find a way to trace the origin of the statues they worship."

The two nodded: "Then, shall we go to that mansion first?"

Wang Quan pondered for a moment: "Contact the others, everyone descend, and proceed simultaneously!"

"good!"

One day later:

Hundreds of Daoist cultivators descended, and they naturally divided into groups to select the large mansions they wanted to explore.

"Walk!"

call out!call out!call out!

The group transformed into streaks of light and sped away.

call out!

Wang Quan and Ruo Jinghong, along with more than two hundred Daoist cultivators, quietly entered a large mansion.

Many cultivators scaled the wall and entered, but did not act rashly. Instead, they proceeded with the rituals according to plan.

With the various rituals in place, everyone got to work again.

Most of the Daoist cultivators remained in place, casting spells to bless Wang Quan and Ruo Jinghong.

Then, Ruo Jinghong recited Taoist incantations and cast a spell to transform into a wisp of breeze; Wang Quan's heart stirred, and he followed suit.

call out!call out!call out!

The two transformed into gentle breezes, intertwined, and quietly slipped inside.

A gentle breeze blew into the building, revealing a dense array of ghosts and monsters worshipping the statue of the Western Ghost Emperor/Western God Emperor.

The two absorbed the essence from the statue and then went to the next building.

After collecting statues from more than a dozen buildings, the two sneaked into various mansions, courtyards, and pavilions.

Finally, they lingered in the three courtyards in the central area.

As if startled, she whispered, "I've never been here before!"

"But one thing is certain: the creatures inside are also worshipping the Western Ghost Emperor."

Wang Quan thought for a moment and said, "You stay outside and provide backup; I'll go in!"

Ruo Jinghong nodded: "Okay!"

She knew that her methods were inferior to those of the king, so it was best for her to receive him from the outside.

call out!

The king's power, transformed into a gentle breeze, entered the courtyard through the doors and windows.

As soon as he entered, he saw a huge statue of a Western demon emperor standing in the courtyard.

There were many incense burners around, with bundles of sandalwood burning inside.

The smoke curls and swirls around the statue, blending into the ribbons on its shoulders, the ring behind its head, and its three heads and six arms.

In front of the statue, kneeling was a creature with long, flowing hair, a flowing dress, and a graceful figure.

Even from a great distance, the king felt a sense of intoxication.

His mind was filled with longing, and he thought of Fairy Qin and Meiniang.

A gentle breeze swayed, and the creatures drifted and swirled around the woman.

At this moment, the kneeling being spoke, its voice ethereal: "Human, why have you come?"

call out!

The king, transformed into a gentle breeze, passed through the hair of this being: "I am looking for the statue of the Western Ghost Emperor/Western God Emperor."

The creature ethereally said, "Its true self is here, why would it need to find a statue?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan shuddered, his vigilance rising to its limit.

But the breeze he transformed into showed no abnormality; after passing through the creature's hair, it circled its neck and chest: "The true self?"

"Could you be the legendary, ancient, great, fallen but not yet fallen Western demon emperor?"

The creature's lips twitched: "You may call me Emperor's Heart."

The gentle breeze of royal power lingers in the hearts of these living beings.

A gentle breeze blew by, and in his many senses, the creature's chest was sometimes soft and sometimes hard.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

As the heartbeat sounded, faint crackling sounds emanated from the Emperor's hair, neck, earlobes, chest, and abdomen.

Those positions were all places that the royal power had just visited.

As he wandered around, he set up numerous spells.

As a result, with a single heartbeat, all the spells were destroyed.

At this moment, the king abandoned all his guard.

Because the other party's methods and strength are far superior to his.

Faced with such a master, all his precautions were useless.

At this moment, Di Xinkongling asked, "What do you need the statue for?"

Wang Quan pondered for a moment: "It was a ghost or spirit named Rouhao who asked me to find it."

Di Xin was silent for a moment: "Does it have the prefix 'Di'?"

"without!"

Di Xin chuckled: "It's just a nobody. I could crush it with my little finger."

Royal power... I don't believe it.

"Do you know the Gentle-Haired Ghost God?"

Emperor Xin Kongling replied, "Of course I know him!"

"It must be formed from the hair I used to lose!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan gasped, "Your hair transformed?"

"Are you the previous Western Demon Emperor?"

Di Xin nodded: "That's right!"

At this moment, Wang Quan's identity token trembled slightly. He had an idea and immediately checked the information inside.

Then, he frowned and said, "My companions set up rituals, using the power of rituals, altars, and spells to observe you. They say you are not human; you are just a beating heart."

"Moreover, it's a heart that's sometimes visible, sometimes not!"

The Emperor remained silent.

The king once again circled around it, rearranging the spells that would be cast.

"These spells of mine were not actually broken by you on your own initiative. Rather, when you suddenly changed from a real existence to a false existence, these spells lost their support and thus disappeared naturally."

Am I right?

The Emperor remained silent.

After a short while, the royal identity token trembled again, and at the same time, a series of crisp sounds came from Emperor Xin's body.

All those magical restrictions shattered and disappeared.

Wang Quan checked the identity token and then smiled.

Because the information provided by Ruo Jinghong and the others was accurate.

"Hey, how exactly did you make me hallucinate that you're a living being?"

"The first fundamental technique I learned when I was young was illusion."

"Although I haven't specialized in many spiritual eye spells, I believe I can see through many illusions."

Why can't I see through you?

"Is your cultivation level high? Or is your magic profound? Or...."

The Emperor spoke, his voice still ethereal, but filled with arrogance: "Because of my high rank!"

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that you are the previous Western Ghost Emperor...?"

The Emperor's heart was arrogant: "The heart's reflection in the water."

Wang Quan... was dumbfounded.
