Perfected Lord (2)

“Ji Ye, how dare Ghost King Luo Sha attack the City God’s Netherworld and interfere with my Dao sect? Do you really think the Netherworld can protect you?! Back then, Tianshan and Kunlun Dao Sect slaughtered their way into the Netherworld and even killed two Ghost Kings. You guys don’t remember at all!” Yin Qi said coldly.
The Ghost General named Ji Ye laughed and said, “Tianshan and Kunlun Dao Sects are very strong, but they might not stand on your side this time. Moreover, the Ling Yin Temple is only one of many Dao Sects. You can’t shake the position of the Netherworld Luo Sha! Die obediently!”
The Daoist and ghost were completely furious. The divine power and methods they used were extremely powerful. Even the spell formation kept trembling. However, Yin Qi did not dare to attack fearlessly, afraid that it would destroy the spell formation. Therefore, after more than ten rounds, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Helpless, Yin Qi could only forcefully send Ghost General Ji Ye into the Netherworld at the price of losing an arm and then deactivate the spell formation.
“Elder.”
“Elder Yin Qi.”
Everyone hurriedly rushed over. Elder Yin Qi waved his hand. “I’m fine. I just lost an arm. It’s better than losing my life.” His dignified face was filled with seriousness. “I didn’t expect the Imperial Court to ally with Ghost King Luo Sha of the Netherworld Ghost Realm in order to weaken the power of our Dao Sect. They’re simply asking for a tiger’s skin.”
The Temple Master of Changling said, “It might not be the Imperial Court’s idea. I’m afraid it’s the Imperial Preceptor who’s secretly pushing it.”
Elder Yin Qi glanced at Temple Master Changling and understood what he meant. Regardless of whether the Imperial Court was standing behind them, they could not speak bluntly. “Fortunately, this mission has been completed. I’ve figured out the faction behind the City God.” He looked at Yin Shu as he spoke. “Where are the others?”
Yin Shu said in a low voice, “Elder, the others are all dead. During this period, ghosts with a hundred years of cultivation appeared. If not for Junior Brother Ling Zhen and me joining forces, we might have all died here.”
Elder Yin Qi sighed and did not ask further. After entering the Netherworld, he knew that he had been careless this time. Ghost King Luo Sha of the Ghost Domain was very powerful. It was easy for him to command more than ten thousand ghosts to attack. It was already unexpected that Yin Shu was alive.
The Temple Master of Changling praised, “Yin Shu has contributed greatly to guarding the array.”
There was a hint of comfort on Yin Qi’s face. “Ling Zhen of Changling Temple is not bad either. Don’t worry. I will tell the Abbey Dean the subsequent content of the Taiyin Talisman Scripture immediately when I return. I believe the Abbey Dean will send the subsequent content to your Changling Daoist Temple.”
The Temple Master of Changling and Ling Wu looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. Why were they working so hard? It was not only for the territory of Shanyang County, but also for this “Great Yin Talisman Scripture”. With the subsequent content, it could form an inheritance and nurture Ling Zhen.
“Alright, we have to report this matter immediately. We can’t delay.”
With that, Yin Qi prepared to leave.
The Temple Master of Changling hurriedly said, “Elder Yin Qi, the ghosts in Shanyang County have yet to be completely cleaned up. Why don’t we let Yin Shu stay behind with my disciple to deal with them?”
The other Daoists of the Ling Yin Temple nodded. “We indeed need one or two to stay here to prevent anything from happening to the City God Temple.”
Yin Qi thought about it. This could indeed sharpen Yin Shu. Moreover, from tonight’s experience, there would probably be endless storms in the future. While the Luo Sha Ghost Domain had just transferred a portion of the ghosts, it had to seize the time to sharpen the younger generation of the temple.
“Alright, Yin Shu, you have to be careful. If there’s any movement on Shanyang’s side, you must inform the temple immediately.”
Before he left, he left a Dharma artifact for Yin Shu to protect herself. After Yin Qi left with the other Daoists of Ling Yin Temple, Shen Ping hurriedly asked, “Master, Martial Uncle, your injuries…”
Ling Wu smiled and said, “It’s fine. For us cultivators, such injuries are common. Moreover, this price is nothing to be able to obtain the entire Taiyin Talisman Scripture for the Daoist temple.”
Although Changling Temple was small, it had a blessed land that could provide blessings after death. The more contribution one made to the temple, the more blessings one would enjoy. For example, as long as the previous abbots contributed, they would have statues to worship.
Therefore, the disciples in the Daoist temple were not afraid of death.
“Ling Zhen, with the entire book, your talent in spells can be displayed.” The Temple Master of Changling sighed, “It’s been more than 500 years since a Perfected Person appeared in my Changling Temple. I can’t do it anymore, so I can only rely on you juniors in the future.”
Shen Ping could hear the sincerity in the Abbey Dean and Martial Uncle’s words. For the future of the Daoist temple, they were indeed willing to sacrifice their lives.
They rested in Shanyang County for two days.
The Temple Master of Changling and Ling Wu returned to the Daoist temple. This time, other than Shen Ping, the other disciples in the temple had all died. The Daoist temple had to recruit new disciples.
“Ling Zhen, Yin Shu has a high status in the Ling Yin Temple. I can tell that she has a good relationship with you. If you can befriend her, it will be of great help to the Daoist temple in the future.
“Although Shanyang City God didn’t kill that ghost general, it’s impossible for Ghost King Luo Sha to send subordinates to Shanyang next, so this place is considered safe. However, you still can’t be careless.”
“Yes, Master.”
In the inn, it was very deserted during the day. There were no diners or guests. Shen Ping and Yin Shu were also happy to have this peace.
At night, the two of them left the inn. Smelling the fragrance of Yin Shu’s hair, he smiled and said, “Senior Sister, I’ll be in charge of the south of the city tonight. How about you go to the east?”
Yin Shu said in a low voice, “Junior Brother, don’t worry. I’ll clean up the ghosts alone.”
Seeing Yin Shu’s fair and red face, he smiled. “Then Senior Sister, follow me to the south of the city so that we can take care of each other.”
Just like that, the two of them stayed in Shanyang County. As they stared at the City God’s Nether Division, they cleaned up the ghosts born from the gathering of Yin qi. As the ghosts were cleaned up and the gates of hell were closed, there were no ghosts to disturb them. Shanyang County gradually regained its prosperity.
The City God Temple was even rebuilt and slowly had incense. In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
In the inn’s bedroom, after Shen Ping absorbed the purple qi, he ended his cultivation. In the past two months, he had transformed a large amount of Yin and Yang Qi he had absorbed into his cultivation. To this day, there were already 105 circles of patterns on the surface of the Dao Valley where Yin and Yang Qi gathered.
This meant that he had officially stepped into the Perfected Lord Realm with the Yin and Yang Qi.
Apart from the Blessed Enclave, the cultivation base of a Perfected Lord was already at the peak. At this level, ordinary vitality qi had little effect on them. They had to find a blessed land or a grotto-heaven to continue improving themselves. Of course, there was another way, which was to use the dragon qi to temper themselves and speed up the process of advancing to the Earth Immortal realm. This was also why every time the dynasty was in chaos, there would always be Daoists helping the rebels raise its troops.
In fact, when the world was stable, there were even Daoists who tried to cause chaos in the imperial court. The source of this was the Dragon Vein Qi in the world.
“Blessed Enclave.. It’s not easy.”
He pushed open the window. Some noisy hawking came from the street beside the inn, and he fell into deep thought. From the news he had heard from Yin Shu, there was a limit to the Blessed Enclave in the world. It was basically occupied by the Dao Sects and other large factions. It was very difficult to find a new Blessed Enclave.
Even if they discovered it, it would quickly be snatched away by powerful Dao Sects.
“Doi have to imitate the previous world and start a new dynasty?”
Thinking of the dynasty that he had established in the bloodline world, he was tempted. Compared to the other Daoists, he, who had the talent of devouring and various strange beasts, undoubtedly had a huge advantage. However, this world was different from the bloodline world after all. The rules were more strict. Although the county City Gods under the Imperial Court had been destroyed and the commoners were suffering and displaced, this did not hurt the foundation of the Imperial Court.
If Shen Ping wanted to mobilize his troops, he would definitely encounter attacks from various factions immediately. Even the powerful Daoists of the grotto-heavens and blessed lands would take action.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Shen Ping suppressed his thoughts and walked over to open the door to let Yin Shu in. In the past two months, the two of them had been together day and night. Although their relationship had not improved, their senses were already very close. Sometimes, they could not help but do some intimate actions.
“Junior Brother, I have to go.”
