Chapter 324: Terrifying Growth of Believers, Crossing the Earth Tribulation
Faced with the words of this wandering Taoist priest, the monks on the street had different reactions.

"Who is Zhengchu Daojun? There are only a few righteous gods bestowed by the dynasty. How could there be such a person?"

"Is it really that effective? Are you trying to frame me?"

"If you continue to deceive and deceive people, I will report you to the police and put you in prison."

Some were skeptical, while others glared at each other angrily.

In the Tianyi Dynasty, there were also many gods who were worshipped by the people. However, in the eyes of the people in the Tianyi Dynasty, those gods other than the true gods canonized by the court were obscene.

Obscene sacrifices are places where evil spirits gather and are not accepted by the gods. Those who offer sacrifices and worship will be punished by heaven.

"I have reported this to the court and obtained permission to build a Daojun Temple not far outside the city. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

Faced with many doubts, the wandering Taoist priest did not care and still had a smile on his face: "If you feel it is appropriate, you can ask for a statue to take home and worship it, the effect will be better."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng paused for a moment, and a wave of confusion surged in his mind.

The followers of Zhengchu Daojun have actually started cross-border activities? !
He extended his senses outside Yinhua City, and soon discovered a brand new Taoist Temple on a low peak more than thirty miles outside the city.

The temple is simply decorated with only an altar and a statue that looks exactly like the original god.

[Statue of the Taoist Master Zhengchu (Level 4): This statue is a Great Saint Tianzun-level incense deity. It can slightly increase the cultivation speed of beings of Level 4 and below. If you worship it every day, there is a certain chance of receiving the deity's blessing.]

Looking at the information sent back by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng was even more shocked.

The Great Sage Heavenly Venerable Realm Incense God? !

Zhengchu Daojun has already entered the ninth level? !
This is absolutely impossible!
Chu Zheng subconsciously wanted to deny it. He knew very well the distribution of Zhengchu Daojun's followers. How could such a drastic change happen in just a few hundred years? !
Moreover, he was very clear about the situation in the Dongyuan Realm. As long as the shackles of the Heavenly Dao were not broken, it would be impossible for creatures above the ninth level to survive.

At the beginning, he set up a large formation and forcibly helped Shan Xun to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation and enter the realm of great wizard, but in the end he died without a burial place.

wrong……

After thinking about it, Chu Zheng paused for a moment and realized the problem.

He has countless clones in the Divine Palace, which is another source of incense for Taoist Master Zhengchu.

For the gods of incense and offerings, there is no concept of so-called essence. As long as the faith and will of the Dongyuan human race are sufficient, Zhengchu Daojun can use this to become the Heavenly Venerable in the realm of the gods.

Ninth level...

Even if he had just entered the ninth level, he was equivalent to an immortal master, on par with Zhao Tingxian's realm, and a billion times more powerful than his current cultivation level.

Before this, Chu Zheng had been consciously suppressing the power of incense and vows. He did not expect that after severing his connection with Taoist Zhengchu, he would become so powerful in just less than a thousand years.

The amount of incense and vows in an entire world is so astonishing that it is no problem to support a ninth-level incense god.

For a moment, Chu Zheng's thoughts were a little confused. He didn't know how to deal with the existence of Zhengchu Daojun.

This is a deity that he created personally, but now, there is no connection between him and Zhengchu Daojun.

Even if he wanted to deal with it, it would be a pipe dream with his current cultivation level. To put it bluntly, the current Zhengchu Daojun could easily crush him to death with a single thought.

pat-

A piece of branch fell silently and gradually turned into a human figure, shrouded in a wide silver leaf robe. He tore through the void and strode towards the outside of Yinhua City.

In an instant, Chu Zheng had stepped into the temple.

The temple was newly built and was spotless. There was only a thin layer of ash in the incense burner in front of the platform.

Chu Zheng stood in front of the stage, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, intending to try calling his real name.

As he thought of this, the calamity energy that had dissipated from his body suddenly began to surge.

Chu Zheng swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, his eyes darkened. He sensed an ominous premonition that if his real name came out, disaster would befall him.

Where is the root of the evil?

If it really is Zhengchu Daojun, then this time the trouble will be really big. Although the contact has been cut off, Chu Zheng is not sure whether Zhengchu Daojun can sense his presence.

The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms is no different from any other place. With his identity as a deity, Taoist Zhengchu can directly leave the Chaos Sea, pass through the Ten Thousand Realms, and enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms. Chu Zheng finds it hard to imagine what will happen then.

Due to the huge gap in strength, he did not dare to act rashly, although strictly speaking, Zhengchu Daojun was the same person as him.

Before Chu Zheng could think about it, a figure stepped into the temple. It was the wandering Taoist priest who had been in the city before.

Chu Zheng had already seen the information about this person. His name was Du Rui, his cultivation level was the sixth level, his bone age was over 3,000 years old, his cultivation path focused on the spirit, and his talent could only be described as ordinary.

Du Rui took a look at Chu Zheng and saw that he was covered in robes and could not see his appearance clearly, but he did not care and smiled and said:
"My friend, are you here to pay homage to the Taoist Master?"

Chu Zheng said nothing and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Du Rui glanced at the three incense sticks burning in the incense burner, raised his hand to stop Chu Zheng, and said slowly:
"If you don't have any urgent matters, why don't you stay here for now and come with me to see the Dao Lord's divine manifestation? Your thoughts may change by then."

Chu Zheng stopped and stared at Du Rui without saying a word. He wanted to see what the so-called divine manifestation was.

Du Rui smiled faintly, took out half of the broken sword, placed it on the altar, burned incense and kowtowed, chanting the unique song to summon the gods that believers of incense and gods use.

Activating the song of summoning the gods requires a lot of energy, but at the same time, it can also attract the attention of incense gods, allowing them to use their golden bodies to show their divinity, display their magical powers and secret techniques, and even attack from a distance.

This is the only way to communicate with the incense spirits besides calling their real names.

After the song of summoning the gods was finished, Du Rui's breathing became heavier, and it was obvious that he had suffered some damage.

After a few breaths, divine light suddenly lit up in the eyes of the statue, reflecting on the broken sword blade.

Under the wrapping of the divine light, the broken magic weapon gradually began to recover its shape, and the broken sword was reshaped. After a few breaths, it was restored to its original state. The spiritual patterns on it ran smoothly without the slightest flaw.

Chu Zheng's fingertips trembled, and a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes. Is this... repair? !

Why can Zhengchu Daojun use such a method? !
Soon, Chu Zheng calmed down and fell into deep thought.

If Zhengchu Daojun had this kind of support, then there would be a reason why his followers grew so rapidly.

As his cultivation level improved, Chu Zheng saw more and more clearly the nature of the repair panel. It was essentially similar to a magical skill, requiring energy support from heaven and earth to be used.

There are many magical spells of restoration in the universe. Some powerful creatures with top-level cultivation can even create something out of nothing with the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is not uncommon.

The question is what it will cost.

The magic sword that Du Rui had just repaired was only of the third grade. With Chu Zheng's current level of restorer, he only needed to expend a tiny bit of spiritual energy to do it.

However, the restoration this time by Taoist Zhengchu was somewhat different.

Du Rui's cultivation had reached the sixth level. He had spent a certain amount of energy and spirit to activate the Divine Summoning Song before he was able to repair this magic sword. The gap in between was probably completely taken away by Taoist Zhengchu.

If all believers were like this, it would explain why Zhengchu Daojun's cultivation could grow so fast.

The believers provide him with a large amount of energy and spirit as nourishment, and at the same time they frantically expand his believers. How can he not be powerful?

"How is it? Daojun can do much more than that. Not only weapons and magic weapons, but also if there are intractable diseases, Daojun can help you cure them."

Du Rui calmed his breath and looked towards Chu Zheng, his eyes full of sincere admiration for Zhengchu Daojun. Among true believers, this kind of pure faith is rare, almost close to fanaticism.

Seeing that Chu Zheng still had no reaction, Du Rui stood up and said slowly:
"I only have one daughter, who is physically disabled and has no hope of becoming a cultivator. She is doomed to not live past the age of thirty. I have sought out many doctors, but none of them could help. It was the Taoist who appeared and saved my daughter's life, giving her the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Zheng's eyes were somewhat complicated. To Du Rui, the kindness of Zhengchu Daojun was almost no less than that of his reborn parents, so it was only normal for him to become his believer.

"To be honest, I am not from the Lingyue Realm. I came here just to ask Daojun to teach me. If you join my sect, you will be a fellow Daoist."

Du Rui smiled slightly, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his tone was slightly smug:

"There are 108,000 realms in the Chaos Sea. Even if there are not 10,000 realms that Daojun's followers have walked through, there are at least 8,000. If you are willing to worship Daojun, we will all support you."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although he had already been mentally prepared for the power that Zhengchu Daojun currently possessed, Du Rui's words still caused him an extremely strong shock.

In at least one-tenth of the Primal Chaos Sea, the figure of Taoist Master Zhengchu has appeared. How terrifying is that?

Du Rui is undoubtedly a very qualified missionary, and anyone else would be tempted.

But unfortunately, the person standing in front of him now is Chu Zheng, the founder of Zhengchu Daojun.

Chu Zheng turned around and left without saying a word.

…………

…………

The battlefield of all worlds.

Lower heaven, underground palace.

The essence of the sun shines brightly, illuminating the huge city that exists beneath the ground.

On the bustling long street, shops are lined up one after another, and the noisy atmosphere of worldly life rolls in.

Lying on a lounge chair on the street, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes slightly cold.

Nearly five years have passed in the battlefield of all realms since he began his incarnation and experienced the tribulation.

Over the years, he has never left the underground palace, but now he can no longer do that. He must overcome the earth calamity as soon as possible and use the extremely resistant characteristics of this incarnation of Yinhuamu to speed up his cultivation progress.
