Chapter 328 Rise and Fall, Ancestral Temple of Tai Sui

White jade in Beijing.

Seeing that the old Taoist priest's scheme had failed, Marquis Tiance struggled, suppressing his fear, laughing wildly and acting madly.
"Hahaha! Old man, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, hurry up and use them."

Otherwise, both of us might be condemned to eternal damnation!

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest from the immortal mountain was filled with fear and racked his brains, trying to figure out how to escape.

However, the two of them are currently in the Immortal Garden of Yuque.

The rules of the Great Dao here are quite perfect and are constantly getting stronger. It is essentially another world. How can one find a way to escape?

For a moment, even the old Taoist priest from the immortal mountain showed a look of despair on his face.

Moreover, the anger and despair in its heart were even more intense and resentful than those of the Marquis of Tiance beside it.

The old Taoist glared at the Heavenly Marquis who had transformed into a dragon, and roared angrily:

"Useless! Useless!"

"You, a true immortal, are actually no match for this young brat? I was truly blind back then."

Actually, there was one thing this guy hadn't revealed to Marquis Tiance and Yu Que.

That is, it is not a divided soul or a remnant soul of the old Taoist priest from the immortal mountain, but the main soul!
Although it has lingered on until now, and in order to maintain its existence, it has deliberately sealed away many of its memories. Therefore, now, both in appearance and in reality, it is no different from a wisp of a fragmented soul.

However, as long as it is given the chance to be reborn and ascend to the immortal position, especially if it finds enough innate immortal energy or refines an immortal garden to protect itself.

Then it can unlock its own memories and ascend to the status of a celestial being at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people!

But now, everything has fallen through.

In particular, it has now been caught off guard and, along with the Marquis of Tiance, has been captured and taken to the thief's fairy garden.

In this way, even if it is the original body, possessing the status of a celestial being, its true spirit will not perish.

However, the true spirit fell into someone else's fairy garden, and life after life, reincarnation could only revolve within this one world.

In this situation, what's the difference between it and being suppressed?!

The immense resentment almost overwhelmed the old Taoist priest of the immortal mountain.

If it had known this would happen, it would have been better to have been killed on the spot by that mountain and sea demon in the outer void and reincarnated there, rather than being reborn in someone else's immortal garden now.

For a moment, the old Taoist was in turmoil. It even had the idea of ​​revealing its true form and sincerely passing on all its Taoist techniques and even its lineage to Yu Que, just hoping that Yu Que would spare its life.

But soon, the old Taoist priest kept repeating to himself, "No, this can't be done!"
Once this brat learns that I am a celestial being in my true form, he will certainly not let me go. Instead, he will seize me and try every means to torture me in order to explore the mysteries of celestial life… Ahhh!”

A painful roar immediately came from its mouth.

The scorching heat of the three-legged golden crow in the heavenly fire is something not everyone can withstand. If it still possessed all the memories of its original form, it might take it lightly, but it is no longer the same person it once was.

Marquis Tiance lay to the side, crying out in pain.

These two unfortunate brothers hated each other intensely for a time.

the other side.

Yu Que refocused his attention and strolled through the shattered Temple of Heaven and Earth, filled with emotion.

"Unexpectedly, the second True Immortal of the Central Plains has fallen at my hands."

This should be good news for the overseas monks.

At this critical juncture when spiritual energy is just beginning to recover, every primordial spirit immortal is a rare and precious power for the immortals of the Central Plains.

Immortals at the True Immortal realm are even more powerful allies!
Unfortunately, Marquis Tian Ce was truly infuriating. Even though Yu Que had considered whether to spare his life, he had no choice but to deal with him since the other party had blocked his path.

Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that such a cold-hearted person won't one day rebel against China and seek refuge overseas.

Yu Que thought to himself, "I only hope that I can really use them to forge a qualified Dao weapon."

In fact, his expectations for this were not high.

In the realm of immortals, each level is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Even with the addition of that old Taoist's remnant soul, he would be overjoyed as long as he could forge a barely acceptable True Immortal weapon.

As for going even higher, that's just an unrealistic idea of ​​his.

After all, the Central Plains Dao Secret Realm has probably never seen a Dao soldier or puppet at the True Immortal level.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Que pulled himself back to the Heaven and Earth Temple and looked around again.

Although the temple is damaged, the rich aura of incense still lingers within it.

Yu Que would naturally not let such good fortune slip by.

He immediately took action, moving 50% of the entire Heaven and Earth Temple lineage's fortune to his own immortal garden, the Jade Palace.

After all, the Five Ancestral Temples are like this, so how could the Temple of Heaven and Earth be an exception!
Such a commotion naturally had a significant impact on the Temple of Heaven and Earth, especially given the swiftness of Yu Que's demands. The already dilapidated temple suddenly became precarious and nearly collapsed.

This scene gave the temple's revered monk outside the gate quite a fright.

The reason he brought the head of the reigning emperor here was not only because he did not want the dynasty to fall into the hands of the Marquis of Tiance, but also because the Temple of Heaven and Earth was of paramount importance to the dynasty and could not be lost.

If Tiancehou were to be subdued and suppressed, and then Yu Que were to destroy the Temple of Heaven and Earth, he would truly be letting down the people of the nation, his ancestors, and the current emperor. He would wish he could just smash his head against the stone steps of the temple gate and die.

Fortunately, the temple only shook violently and showed no signs of collapsing.

This made the Imperial Preceptor breathe a sigh of relief.

Yu Que noticed the commotion outside the temple gate and looked over with a half-smile.

When the incense master met his gaze, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Immediately, Yu Que weighed the Imperial Seal in his hand and pondered for a moment.

He didn't intend to take any of the five protective charms from the five temples. But should he make an exception for the protective charm of the Temple of Heaven and Earth?
In an instant, he made a decision.

If the Jun family can sit here, why can't the Yu family do the same?

However, after making this decision, Yu Que did not put the Imperial Seal into his inner world.

He immediately used his magic to thoroughly cleanse the jade seal several times, completely removing any traces of incense smoke left inside.

He then added multiple restrictions, leaving a backup plan within the jade seal. From now on, only Yu Que and those of the Yu family bloodline he acknowledges can use this item.

Anyone else, even a primordial immortal, could be instantly killed if they touch it!

After completing this backup plan, Yu Que looked around again, his magical power flowing continuously. Multiple streaks of light shot out, swirling around the area and confining the vast Heavenly Temple within. A buzzing sound filled the air!
Layer upon layer of formations appeared instantly, and within them flickered several ghosts and gods at the Refining Qi level, namely the Six Ding and Six Jia of the Refining Peak lineage.

Having made these arrangements, Yu Que's figure flashed and appeared outside the temple gate.

He gave the order to the stunned Imperial Preceptor:

"From this day forward, no one from your lineage of incense offerings or the lineage of Heaven and Earth is permitted to enter the Temple of Heaven and Earth."

These words reached the ears of the Imperial Preceptor, causing his expression to become extremely strange.

It should be noted that the temple originally worshipped not only the gods of heaven and earth, but also the ancestors of the dynasty that had been worshipped throughout the reigns. It was equivalent to the ancestral hall of the monarch's family and many founding families.

Now that Yu Que is preventing them from entering, it's equivalent to forbidding the husband from entering his wife's boudoir.

The Imperial Preceptor wanted to say a few words, but the next moment, Yu Que's words made his face turn ashen, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished without a trace:
"There's no need to choose a new emperor. It saves us from having to find a living person to abdicate after the war ends."

Yu Que's meaning was quite clear: he only did not want to abolish the incense-burning dynasty because a great war was imminent, causing too much turmoil in the Central Plains. However, the imperial throne of the incense-burning dynasty would come to an end.

With a hesitant murmur, the Imperial Preceptor finally bowed to Yu Que:

"Yes, sir, I will obey the immortal's decree."

At least there's still time to recover, and the ancestral temple hasn't been destroyed.

Seeing that this fellow was somewhat sensible, Yu Que suddenly pointed to the head of the current emperor, whom he had also promoted, and said:
"Considering the execution of your emperors, the debt is settled with your deaths. As for those who obstruct my path to immortality, I will not implicate the innocent. They have already been refined into divine generals by me and are guarding outside the temple."

You should pack your things, choose an auspicious day, and also perform the ritual of corpse liberation in this temple, becoming its guardian.

The incense master subconsciously looked to the left and right of the temple, and sure enough, among the guardian spirits, he spotted his own emperor.

Because Yu Que has now become an immortal, and his method of refining Dao weapons is different from the past, he has preserved some of the intelligence in these Dao weapons at the half-step primordial spirit level.

When the emperor and the spirits saw the incense and the national teacher looking at him, they even nodded to the national teacher.

So the Imperial Preceptor bowed again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Immortal!"

As for the "corpse dissolution" that Yu Que had instructed him to do, this person was not surprised at all. Even if Yu Que had not instructed him to do corpse dissolution, once the affairs of the dynasty were settled, for the sake of the emperor and to prevent future generations from being implicated, he would have done corpse dissolution himself.

After all, obstructing a true immortal from attaining enlightenment is far too serious.

The fact that one can die now, without being annihilated, having one's soul scattered, or having one's entire clan exterminated, is already an immense act of mercy.

Yu Que nodded, his back turned.

Just as he was about to leave to visit his Huangshan disciples at the Temple of Heaven, he suddenly remembered something else.

Now he has gained the fortune of another temple, the ancestral temples of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in seven directions. It can be said that he only needs the temple of Tai Sui to complete the Five Elements and the Yin and Yang.

So he spoke up:
"Regarding the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple, do you know its whereabouts after all your offerings?"

These words startled the bowing incense master, but he immediately understood Yu Que's meaning.

After a moment's hesitation, the Imperial Preceptor spoke:
"Replying to the Immortal Master, the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple was originally located in the Tai Sui Imperial Capital. When this dynasty established its capital, the ancestral temple was moved here as well."

Right now, it... lies beneath the capital, within the dragon vein, covered by the mausoleums of the emperors of my dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Yu Que turned around and raised an eyebrow:

"Cover-up? In my opinion, it's more like suppression."

He clicked his tongue and said, "Using the tombs of emperors of a hundred generations to suppress them, you are really ruthless. No wonder the Tai Sui lineage almost became extinct back then."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Preceptor was immediately filled with apprehension, vaguely sensing that Yu Que seemed to have some affection and regret for the Tai Sui lineage.

The next moment, Yu Que's words filled him with even greater fear:
"Immediately write a note and issue it to the whole country."

From this day forward, the Tai Sui lineage is restored to its orthodox form. If any legitimate successors are still alive, they may travel to the Huangshan Judicial Palace to assist in compiling Taoist texts and restoring the lineage.

Yu Que's words clearly implied that he was inextricably linked to the Tai Sui lineage.

These words terrified the Imperial Preceptor, who immediately collapsed to the ground, his legs buckling.

After a long while, the man finally replied, "I will obey the immortal's decree."

But when the Imperial Preceptor looked up again, Yu Que was nowhere to be seen, and even the rich fortune and boiling dragon energy in the sky above the capital were rapidly fading away.

Apart from the dilapidated Temple of Heaven and Earth, everything in the capital seemed to be the same as before.

Come back to your senses.

Looking at the head of the reigning emperor before him, the Imperial Preceptor was suddenly overcome with gratitude towards Marquis Tiance.

If not for being forced by Marquis Tiance, the reigning emperor would not have voluntarily surrendered his head.

If this is not done, given the sins of the two and Yu Que's attitude towards the Tai Sui lineage, the Heaven and Earth lineage may very well repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

For a moment, the incense master held the severed head, tears streaming down his face. He slumped down on the steps, looking no different from an old country man, his back already soaked with sweat.

………………

the other side.

Yu Que first went to the Temple of Heaven to make sure that Gong Dongxue and the others were alright. He then told them to cultivate diligently at the Temple of Heaven and not to miss this rare opportunity.

Of course, some of the eyesores on the Temple of Heaven were kicked out on the spot.

For example, those Taoist priests who never spoke to him on behalf of Huangshan Taoist Temple.

After finishing his chores, Yu Que appeared at the foot of the Temple of Heaven.

He continued downhill, and the dense, scattered dragon energy all around him appeared before his eyes, ready for him to use.

However, dragon energy has too many karmic consequences, making it even more troublesome than incense offerings, so he was too lazy to use it for cultivation anymore.

Sure enough, after passing through several imperial tombs, Yu Que discovered the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple directly below the Temple of Heaven.

The hollow space was filled with countless iron chains and talismans, and dragon energy was used to imprison and suppress it from both inside and outside.

And all of these arrangements were made for the dwelling in the very center, which was less than ten feet square.

This hut was built only with thatch and yellow mud, and could be described as extremely simple.

If it weren't for the "Grand Duke Jupiter" tablet placed inside the dwelling, no one would recognize it as the ancestral temple of the Grand Duke Jupiter lineage.

Seeing this scene, Yu Que hesitated to speak, sighing deeply.

But the next moment, when he casually lifted the surrounding restrictions and dragon energy, a powerful aura descended from the sky and entered the Tai Sui Ancestral Temple, shining brightly!
