Taoist priests in the supernatural world

"Returning home in glory, just to catch up with old friends."

Across the void, Huang Bai looked at the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal who had provided him with his first pot of gold.

From the first Five-Herb Pill to the magic of the Enlightened Divine Sword, and now to his current level of cultivation.

Upon closer examination, the root of everything is related to this person.

In the illusory space, Lingzhen Daoist's soul froze at Huang Bai's gaze.

In an instant, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She was clearly in the Taiyin Illusion.

Huang Bai's gaze seemed completely unaffected by this void.

Why?

How could the other party have grown to this extent after more than ten years?

Lingzhen Daoist was filled with shock and anger, and almost roared in despair.

Even a single glance from the other person was enough to terrify her.

Is this still the same young man who only knew how to use bombs?

"It's okay, there's still a chance."

Lingzhen Daoist forcibly calmed his mind, his gray-white soul trembling in the dark mist.

"Within the Taiyin Void, I am incredibly powerful. At worst, I can just stay here and not leave."

Immortals like Lingzhen, who have undergone corpse dissolution, have limited ability to interfere with reality.

Within this illusory Taiyin Illusion, her abilities can be fully materialized.

This is her home turf.

Since they can't beat Huang Bai in the real world, they might as well just stay here.

As long as she doesn't go out, what can the other party do to her?

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come down and catch up?"

Huang Bai's voice came from outside.

Realizing that she was now in the absolutely safe Taiyin Illusionary Realm, her anxious heart slowly calmed down.

A fierce killing intent flashed in Lingzhen's eyes, and her voice turned cold.

"Two dismemberments, two obstructions of the road."

"I will remember your kindness, fellow Daoist."

"The green hills remain, the clear waters flow on forever, farewell!"

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lingzhen Daoist's soul suddenly dispersed, turning into a wisp of gray-white smoke, and was about to escape into the depths of the Taiyin Illusionary Realm.

Once the younger sister successfully completes her physical transformation, once both sisters ascend to immortality, and once their method of spiritual communication is fully perfected, perhaps they will still have a chance to compete.

We must not act rashly now.

At this moment, Huang Bai moved.

Lightning suddenly crackled in his palm.

boom!

Flames and lightning ripped through the void.

The crimson lightning, like divine punishment, instantly illuminated the entire dark underground space.

In a corner of the Taoist temple, Professor Sheng Zuchang collapsed to the ground, his face pale, his eyes fixed on the bolt of lightning.

"Thunder magic...it's actually thunder magic?"

Sheng Zuchang was on the verge of tears.

Why are Taoist priests who use thunder magic here?

Did they really break a divine law?

This is the glorious and just might of Heaven.

It was as if, once it fell, all its wicked tricks would be reduced to ashes in the thunder and fire.

Within the Taiyin Illusionary Realm.

Rumble!

The entire Taiyin Illusionary Realm trembled violently.

The surrounding eerie green mist churned wildly, as if being violently stirred by an invisible hand.

The once illusory and stable space now shows fine cracks.

Lingzhen Daoist suddenly turned around.

"This is?"

puff!

The next moment, she looked up and saw an incomparably dazzling bolt of lightning piercing through the entire world.

The lightning was crimson red, carrying a majestic divine power. Wherever it passed, the dark mist dissipated and the void shattered.

Her prized Taiyin Illusion was thus blasted open by lightning, leaving a huge hole.

Outside the hole lies the underground Taoist temple of the real world.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly strong suction force came from outside the hole.

"How is that possible!"

Lingzhen Daoist's expression finally changed.

She tried to conceal herself using the Yin energy of the Taiyin Illusion, but to no avail.

Wow!

She didn't even have a chance to resist; her soul was instantly sucked away from this world.

When she came to her senses, she found herself standing on the palm of the yellow and white hand.

Her soul was composed of grayish-white smoke, which could gather and disperse without form, seemingly able to dissipate at any time. No matter how she changed, she could never escape the grasp of Huang Bai.

Amidst the crisscrossing lines of his palm, faint traces of thunder and fire could still be seen.

Each flash of lightning sent a shiver down her spine.

"Your Mightiness."

Lingzhen Daoist remained silent for a moment before finally lowering his posture.

"Although I killed a demon to attain enlightenment, which is against the will of Heaven, all those I killed were disloyal, unfilial, unjust, and inhumane."

"Innocent people may be harmed during this process, but achieving enlightenment is not easy, so I hope you will be lenient."

Her attitude softened somewhat.

However, some bottom lines remain unchanged.

Lingzhen Daoist raised his head, his eyes still holding a hint of stubbornness.

"If you wish to command spirits and transform me into ghost soldiers, I regret that I cannot comply."

"I'd rather my soul be scattered to the winds."

In the end, she raised her head and straightened her chest, her gray-white soul slowly solidifying on her yellow-white palm.

Even a corpse-dissolving immortal is still an immortal, and therefore possesses the dignity of an immortal.

If the price of living is to become someone else's loyal ghost soldier, then it's better to die.

Huang Bai looked at her, his expression not changing much.

"I didn't have that idea. I came here today for cooperation and mutual benefit."

"I can help your sister's body disintegrate, and I can also teach you protective magic."

"In return, how about you work for me from now on?"

Huang and Bai extended an olive branch directly.

Upon hearing these words, Lingzhen Daoist's previously resolute expression faltered slightly.

She remained silent for a moment.

If Huang Bai can truly help his sister successfully dissolve her corpse and is willing to teach her protective magic, the future path for the two sisters will be far broader than it is now.

Thinking of this, Daoist Lingzhen hardly hesitated before standing on Huang Bai's palm and bowing deeply to him.

"I am Lingzhen, paying my respects to the Immortal Master!"

The saying that "the Immortal of Corpse Dissection has dignity" is indeed true.

Compared to these protective spells, what is mere dignity?

"From now on, you can just call me Master Huang Tian."

Huang Bai withdrew his gaze, and with a slight movement of his palm, Lingzhen's soul body floated up.

After subduing Lingzhen, Huang Bai looked at the believers in the main hall.

Some of these believers died and others were injured.

Some people suffered severe burns and lay on the ground, their fate unknown.

The once solemn and dignified underground Taoist temple is now in a state of chaos.

The incense burner was overturned, the offering table was cracked, and the ground was covered with torn talismans and bloodstains.

Huang Bai strode to the center of the main hall.

Upon seeing this mysterious powerful figure make another move, even grabbing their revered immortal in his palm, the devout believers were terrified and retreated continuously.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Don't come any closer!"

"If you come any closer, I'll call the police!"

Chairman Li Hua clutched his charred chest, his face deathly pale, his eyes fixed on Huang Bai.

His body trembled slightly with fear, but he managed to stay upright.

Huang Bai did not make a move; he simply raised his hand and gently waved his sleeve.

Then, he spat out a dark green pill.

The pill floated in mid-air, slowly rotating.

Streaks of azure light descended from the pill.

The blue light, like spring rain, was fine and gentle, falling on the wounded believers.

The charred flesh began to wriggle, and the broken bones made a slight sound as they reconnected.

No matter how severe the injury, as long as there is still a breath left, they will be completely restored under the blue light.

The believers, who had been wailing in pain, gradually quieted down.

Their gazes toward Huang Bai gradually shifted from fear to awe.

Lingzhen Daoist floated in mid-air, watching this scene, and was deeply shocked.

This person's alchemy skills were simply divine.

Fortunately, I didn't stubbornly resist to the end.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To prevent these believers from doing anything foolish again, Master Lingzhen immediately spoke up.

"Gentlemen, I am now a disciple of Master Huangtian."

"From this day forward, you are all followers of Huang Tian. Why don't you quickly pay homage to the Immortal Venerable Huang Tian?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Having just been saved, they dared not hesitate any longer.

The next moment, someone knelt down first.

"Greetings, Celestial Venerable Huangtian!"

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also knelt down.

"Greetings, Celestial Venerable Huangtian!"

The sounds were initially somewhat chaotic, but quickly became orderly.

The sounds of greeting echoed through the underground Taoist temple.

Apart from the ten who were already dead, the rest of the people stepped forward to pay their respects.

Deep beneath the science and technology building, in a solemn and dignified Taoist temple.

The young man in the golden crown and Taoist robe stood in the center of the hall, his robes fluttering even without wind, receiving the worship of the crowd.

Modern technology and ancient Taoist practices create an extremely bizarre contrast at this moment.

No need for formalities.

Huang Bai arrived before the coffin.

The girl lay quietly in the coffin, her face serene.

Lingzhen Daoist floated to the side and offered an explanation:

"I am a sister, Lingzhen, and Lingmiao."

"We are born with a spiritual connection. If we both achieve immortality through corpse liberation, we will possess incredible abilities."

When talking about his younger sister, Lingzhen Daoist's tone softened noticeably.

Huang Bai lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in the coffin.

After a moment, he asked, "Are you Huang Shang's disciples?"

"That's not the case."

Lingzhen Daoist gently shook his head.

"We are descendants of Huang Shang's disciples, living at the end of the Wanli era."

"Back then, we obtained the method of possession passed down from our ancestors, as well as the method of becoming an immortal in the Five Hells."

"From then on, I began the path of reincarnation and cultivation."

As she spoke, her tone became more complex.

"However, reincarnation is not always successful. Most of the time, one is blinded by the mystery of the womb and passes through the next life in a daze."

"I was fortunate enough to achieve immortality through corpse liberation, which gave me the ability to help my sister continue her corpse liberation and reincarnation."

Huang Bai listened quietly without interrupting.

Lingzhen Daoist transformed into a small figure and landed on Huang Bai's shoulder, continuing to recount the details of achieving immortality through corpse liberation.

"After the body is dissolved into immortality, the soul flies to the void to undergo the Taiyin Refinement."

"The Taiyin Illusionary Realm just now was the place where the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal refined his Taiyin form."

"When the Taiyin Refinement reaches a certain level, a Dharma Form will be born within the soul, allowing it to freely interfere with the real world."

Lingzhen Daoist paused for a moment at this point.

She seemed to realize that what she had relied on earlier didn't carry much weight in front of Huang Bai.

"I see."

Huang Bai seemed to be deep in thought.

Strictly speaking, I am not a genuine Corpse-Dissolving Immortal.

He is more like a half-corpse immortal who retains the abilities of a physical body.

This path of abandoning the physical body and focusing solely on cultivating spiritual forms is clearly not entirely in line with his own direction of spiritual practice.

However, the Taiyin Refinement Method does have some merits.

If one can grasp the key points, it might be able to make up for some of the shortcomings that arise after one's soul leaves the body.

"This method needs to be studied more carefully."

Huang Bai looked at the girl in the coffin and said to Lingzhen Daoist:

"Let's begin the autopsy. I will personally perform the autopsy on you."

Corpse dissection requires a specific destiny, but Huang Bai does not.

His current cultivation level and alchemy skills are far beyond what he was at when he could only observe and plan.

Upon hearing this, Lingzhen Daoist's soul trembled slightly, and he immediately lowered his head.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"

After years of planning and several reincarnations, all the obsessions seem to be coming to a conclusion today.

Soon, Sheng Zuchang came over.

His face was embarrassed and his expression was complicated. When he stood in front of Huang Bai, he even unconsciously bent his waist a little.

He never expected that the other party would become his boss's boss in the blink of an eye.

"Immortal Master," Sheng Zuchang coughed lightly and said cautiously, "I know the whereabouts of those five people."

"Make arrangements as soon as possible."

After saying that, Huang Bai looked at Lingzhen Daoist on his shoulder.

"The Yellow Fire Earth is no longer needed. Let's lift Xiao Mei's curse."

Lingzhen Daoist immediately agreed.

"yes!"

Huang Huotu is a person with a unique destiny chosen by Lingzhen.

The reason he cursed Xiao Mei was simply to coerce Huang Huotu into killing his sister Ling Miao, thus completing the final step of his corpse dissolution.

Now that Huang Bai has personally taken action, Huang Huotu is naturally no longer of any use.

A dwelling made of yellow fire and earth.

Under the dim yellow light, the father and daughter sat at the dining table, eating in silence.

"Xiao Mei."

He picked up a piece of food and put it into Xiaomei's bowl, making a very soft sound.

What do you want to eat tomorrow?

Huang Huotu has been asking this question for over a decade.

Each time, all I got was silence.

He always hoped that one day, Xiaomei would speak on her own initiative.

The dining table remained quiet this time as well.

Huang Huotu lowered his head, preparing to continue eating as usual.

Just then, Xiaomei suddenly spoke up.

"Dad, I want to eat cola chicken wings tomorrow."

Huang Huotu stood there, stunned.

His weathered, expressionless face initially showed confusion, but then a radiance gradually emerged.

He opened his mouth as if to confirm, but was afraid that the sound would frighten his daughter.

"What...what did you just say?"

Xiao Mei looked at him and repeated, "Dad, I want to eat cola chicken wings."

"Okay, okay, Dad will make it for you tomorrow. You can have as much as you want, Dad will make it for you."

As he spoke, Huang Huotu was already in tears.

After a long while, he looked up at the dark night sky outside the window.

In a daze, he seemed to see that young Taoist priest with mysterious abilities again.

"Thanks."

After the clouds disperse, the moon shines bright; hard work pays off.

In the following days, people continued to go missing in Taipei.

Having learned from their previous experience, and knowing that they didn't need to lure Huang Huotu this time, the group decided to take these villains directly to the underground for trial.

An underground Taoist temple.

Five villainous corpses lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies adorned with eerie talismans.

The coffin was placed in front of the altar.

The candlelight flickered all around, casting shadows that were sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Huang Bai stood before the altar, wearing a golden crown and Taoist robe, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

He raised his hand and gestured.

The candlelight around them rose simultaneously.

The firelight illuminated the altar in a crimson glow.

The talismans on the ground moved without wind, and the runes gradually lit up.

"Begin the autopsy."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's body in the coffin slowly floated into the air.

The next moment, crimson flames suddenly ignited, completely engulfing the girl.

Lingzhen Daoist stared intently at his sister in the fire, but did not utter a sound to stop her.

Because she knew this was a form of dissection.

This marks the true beginning of my younger sister Lingmiao's journey to immortality.

The crimson fire burned ever brighter.

The temperature in the entire underground Taoist temple rose accordingly.

The candlelight flickered, the talismans fluttered, and the eerie glow of the warrants on the five corpses of the villains simultaneously illuminated the scene.

Huang Bai stood before the fire, his eyes gleaming with golden light, personally presiding over an ancient and solemn ascension ceremony.

This is the fire-based release!
