Chapter 192 The General's Altar, the Temple of the Divine Lord, the Grass-Headed Divine Armor, Breaking the Mountain and Destroying the Temple, It Must Begin with Me!

Jiangyin, Dilong Cave.

Outside the boundary gate, in the Central Yellow Heaven, stands the Temple of the Divine Lord!
Zhonghuangtian is the majestic heavens that are suppressed and ruled by the great supernatural being 'Zhonghuang Taiyi'.

Based on the "Central Yellow Divine Court", it encompasses the divine system, enlightens all spirits, and bestows titles upon the stars in the heavens, the blue sea and the celestial sky with "divine spirits".

The most powerful among them can turn day into day when their eyes are open and night into night when their eyes are closed, and can experience spring, autumn, winter, and summer in the blink of an eye.

This is the divine deity of the Zhou Tian within the 'Divine Court'.

And on the land and territory.

They also had their own fiefdoms, and temples based on the 'divine realm' sprang up like mushrooms after rain across the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

Each temple enshrines a 'terrestrial deity' whose guardian generals and grass-root divine soldiers are incredibly powerful, surpassing even the strength of an ordinary martial arts sect.

Therefore, only a True Sect level being can suppress the 'Boundary Gate'.

The Central Yellow Heaven is governed by a 'divine domain' consisting of countless altars and temples of gods and lords, large and small.

All the soil, small kingdoms, and living beings within its borders are 'shepherded' by the god who sits in the temple.

Several years ago, the Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord had already sensed that a boundary gate connecting to the Great Xuan within his territory was about to open a crack.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

According to the divine records of Zhonghuangtian, the soil of Daxuan is vast and boundless, and its population is numerous.

Leaving aside the regional warlords and the vassal states, even the subordinate prefectures alone have tens of millions of registered households, comparable to a 'small country' composed of several divine realms.

If we could annex even a small portion of it and plunder its inhabitants.

This can cause the incense offerings in the divine realm to surge, and also support several 'guardian generals,' greatly increasing one's own strength.

Therefore, he began planning early on, intending to wait until the 'Gate of Boundaries' was fully opened before directly annexing a county and minimizing the 'suppression of Heaven and Earth'.

Then, with lightning speed, they captured the city, swallowing up the spoils before the Great Xuanwu Holy Capital could even react.

Even if they realize it too late and want to reclaim the lost territory, by then...

However, once the Divine Lord Temple passes through the 'Boundary Gate' and successfully erodes the Great Profound Qi with the Qi of the Central Yellow Heaven, that territory will gradually sink and be integrated into the map of the Central Yellow Heaven.

Finally, it completely fell into the 'Middle Yellow Heaven' and vanished from the Great Mystery!
This is the 'Battle for the Heavens'!
This is why Da Xuan is determined to fight the heretics to the death.

Because whenever a 'gateway' opens, if it is left unattended, it will be invaded by the gods.

Then the territory of the Great Xuan will become smaller and smaller, until it becomes just a corner.

Legend has it that at the beginning of nine dynasties, nine thousand years ago, when the path of human immortals and martial arts was first established.

The territory of the Great Human Dynasty at that time was vast, far exceeding the current eighteen vassal states. It is said that there were eight hundred vassal states that paid homage to the Human Court!
Even immortals were not myths in those times, and martial arts cultivation was extremely prosperous!

At that time, a person was born with naturally open energy channels, and could live to be a hundred years old without disaster or illness.

The path of cultivation is named after the Nine Limits, aiming to break the shackles of the human body and reach the highest heavens, rather than the physical, qi, and intentional barriers of later generations.

However, with the passing of the millennium and the Great Tribulation of Yang Jiu, gates to different realms opened one after another, and thousands of years passed with each tribulation.
Only the current territory remains, forming the present ninth Great Dynasty of Human Immortals—Da Xuan.

And at this time.

As the divine drums resounded, two colossal, mountain-like beasts raised their backs and bowed before the temple, causing the temple doors to open by themselves.
A young statue, wielding a wielding sword, draped in a divine sash, with three eyes on its forehead and brows like sharp swords, stood right there in the middle!
Beneath his statue, the name of the deity, "The God of the Three Five Slaying Evils," is written in divine patterns.

And its left and right sides.

There were ten 'General Altars' standing there. The third one from the left had the words 'General Who Summons Spirits and Manifests Saints' clearly engraved on it!
“Summoning Spirits and Manifesting Divinity, you have infiltrated this small area outside the gate for so long, yet you have only lingered in a county, and your followers have been wiped out by the power of a mere county.”

"Now that the gate to the realm has finally opened, I appoint you as the vanguard of the 'Divine Armor,' leading three hundred grass-root gods under your command. You will descend in your true form, and all the rural fox spirits and ghost wandering gods who were conferred titles during this period will be under your command."

"I'm asking you to, with lightning speed, bring the entire area within a radius of five hundred miles of this boundary gate into the incense domain of my 'Three-Five Slaying God Temple' before that titled Martial Saint, who suppresses an entire state and reigns supreme over all the prefectures, arrives. Can you do that?"

Inside the Temple of the God.

Gazing into the distance, using his surveillance abilities to look at the 'Gate of Boundaries', the Three-Five Slayer God spoke calmly.

To his left, at the third seat of the altar, the divine general, appearing as a phantom clad in golden armor and wielding a gleaming mace, immediately rose to request permission to serve:
"My Lord, I have been waiting for this day for a very long time!"

"It's just a remote, rural county."

"I will lead my general Tankou and three hundred wild gods, donning divine armor, to smash through villages and counties and drive them all out!"

Summoning Spirits and Manifesting Divine Power!

They were the culprits who had previously infiltrated Anning County, a distance of 500 li, and orchestrated the attack on the city by the demons from the Earth Dragon Cave, causing the entire Anning County to suffer severe damage.

However, he doesn't think so.

In his eyes.

He had been meticulous and scheming, and it seemed that his plan was about to succeed. On the eve of the opening of the boundary gate, he firmly controlled this county and township, and before the 'Divine Lord Temple' entered the boundary gate in a big way, he would win the favor of the Divine Lord and take another step forward!
结果
All the scheming was ruined on that snowy night by that boy full of secrets.

You should know that within the divine realm under the jurisdiction of the Temple of the God of Slaying Evil in the Central Yellow Heaven, the Altar of the Great General Who Summons Spirits and Manifests Saints has 100,000 worshippers.

In terms of strength and the physical body he has condensed, even the leaders of various martial arts schools would not be a match for him.

Even if it was just a wisp of divine soul that smuggled in, at that time, under the guise of "saving people from suffering," he gathered the thoughts of ten or twenty thousand worshippers in Anning County. The divine thoughts he condensed were far superior to those of ordinary Qi cultivators!
However, when he tried to possess that kid's body, it was like entering a quagmire, making it difficult to move an inch. He could not exert even one percent of his strength, and was completely imprisoned by the kid, becoming mere food. How frustrating!
For that reason alone.

After returning to the Zhonghuangtian and Zhannieshenjun Temple, he was not only ridiculed by his fellow guardian deities, but also lost his prestige and the deity's favor. He had been harboring a lot of resentment for a long time.

Therefore, they received the decree from the Three-Five Slaying God.

Even if the 'gateway' has just opened, before it causes any erosion or impact, crossing it will greatly reduce one's strength.

Under the suppression of heaven and earth, he could probably only unleash two or three tenths of his abilities, making him only slightly stronger than some ordinary masters. At this point, the Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Saint General did not hesitate.

After all, it's only been about half a year since then.

In the past six months, the kid who had caused him such a loss of face could only break through to the level of Divine Soul Thought or refine the skin membrane at best!

In front of oneself.
They are no different from ants.

As for that mere Anning County, it only has a handful of big cats and little cats. For me to gather three hundred grass-roots gods and don armor, what does that mean?
If they are arrayed in formation, then we can kill them!

That kid named Ji Xiu had ruined his grand plan, not only rejecting his recruitment but also draining him dry, leaving nothing but scraps.

As a guardian deity, the Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Saint General usually reigns supreme over the hundreds of thousands of worshippers, much like a local emperor. Except in front of the temple of the deity, he will bow his head when facing the Three or Five Slaying Evil Deities.

When have any other person ever made him suffer such a great loss?

It's just a small township or county; there's no need for any planning.

They gathered their troops directly from the gate of the Earth Dragon Cave, charged straight out, swept through the mountain town, advanced towards the county seat, and abducted all the tens of thousands of people into the divine realm.

This 500-li Anning County will henceforth become a vassal of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Temple' and will be able to advance directly towards Jiangyin Prefecture!

"very good."

The Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord opened his third eye, which seemed to be able to pierce through distance and see the scenery of Anning County through that 'gate'.

Upon hearing the pledge made by the General Who Summons Spirits and Manifests Saints, he nodded slightly.

Generally speaking, every time the boundary gate opens, as long as it is not located in the wilderness, it can encroach on a township or county. If you are lucky, even a prefectural city is not out of reach.

Even if a Martial Saint arrives later, establishes a sect, and sets up numerous restrictions to curb the expansion of the 'Boundary Gate', that's a matter for later.

Moreover, some "true sects" have chosen to cooperate with "outsiders" in order to obtain treasures and rare items from other non-Buddhist realms, or for the opportunity to advance further, exchanging offerings of living beings for resources and secretly colluding with them.

As long as you don't allow outsiders to launch a large-scale invasion, you've fulfilled your duty.

Therefore, the opening of the "gateway" is generally a significant opportunity for the various temples of deities and altars of generals in the Central Yellow Heaven.

Previously, the Three-Five Slaying Evil God had only seen it on other comrades. This time, it was his turn, so naturally he had to get a share of the benefits and couldn't leave empty-handed.

"I have instructed my divine armor to set foot in the 'Earth Dragon Cave' and to capture all the spirits and monsters that were awakened by the abyssal energy that was accidentally leaked there."

"Those with some background have already been enlightened by me, granted official titles, and sent to gather their incense offerings and support the people."

"After you cross the 'Boundary Gate,' you can completely incorporate it. Speed ​​is of the essence. Conquer the entire 'Anning County,' and then use the people of the county to build a 'Temple of the God' for worship. From then on, the overall situation can be settled."

"Is it possible?"

The general who summoned spirits and manifested divine power raised his golden mace, making a solemn vow:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything will be foolproof!"

Rumble!
With this guardian deity, a military order was issued.

Three hundred armored generals and hermit soldiers, raising the banners that stood against the wind and exuded divine charm, entered in single file, crashing through the boundary gate and stepping into Jiangyin!

The next day, dawn.

Wushan Town, one of the eighteen mountain towns on the outer ring of Anning County!
Ji Xiu once studied archery with Gu Baichuan. When they entered the Earth Dragon Cave, the bones and blood of all the mountain beasts and spirits they killed were disposed of here.

Song, the head of Wushan Town and the owner of "Wushan Hunting Manor," was also a pragmatic man. When he took over as the head of the manor and intimidated the heroes, he was the first to swear a blood oath and become a vassal.

It was only after this incident that the Ji family residence on West Street in Anning County secured its position as the leading business in Anning County.

only.

After hearing about the changes at the Earth Dragon Cave from Old Man Yao yesterday, Ji Xiu then reconciled the accounts with Lin Zhenhai's family, who were in charge of the debts on his behalf.

He then discovered that these eighteen interconnected mountain towns and hunting villages had stopped sending people to transport mountain goods recently, and even the accountant sent over a couple of days ago had not returned.

therefore
Ji Xiu first specially made a coffin and accompanied Xu Longxiang out of Anning County, telling him the location of the remains of Senior Ye Wenjiang.

So they went to these mountain towns that were supposedly associated with 'rustic folk religion and heretical gods' and went hunting for them.

Wushan Town is the closest place to the 'Earth Dragon Cave'.

As he carried the plaque of the Martial Saint's Blade and wore light, practical clothing for his mountain retreat, he arrived before the large house with its blue bricks and green tiles. "May I ask where you come from?"

An old steward dressed in Song family attire opened the gate and, seeing Ji Xiu holding a long sword and exuding an extraordinary air, felt uneasy and asked a question.

"An Ning, Ji Xiu!"

Just a few simple words.

This immediately caused the steward's face to change drastically; he was terrified, and even his voice began to tremble.

"Ji Ji is the boss!?"

Ji Xiu!?
Who is that person?
About half a year ago, he dominated Anning and was a legendary figure. Then, he rode a dragon and invaded the prefectural city!
He was the chief leader whom the former manor lord, Song Chai, highly praised and worshipped!
But these exceptional individuals, who are said to have already left this remote corner, how could they still be here?
"You and I."

For a moment, the old steward, who had a guilty conscience, became incoherent.

Upon seeing his appearance, Ji Xiu immediately understood. Without saying anything more, he simply took a step forward!
In an instant, a divine thought soaring straight to the heavens arose majestically, carrying intense heat. The 'Divine Talisman Fire' Dao seed, with the body as its seed, completely enveloped the entire mansion with its blue bricks and green tiles!

Just for a moment.

Ji Xiu then sensed several auras different from those of martial artists; they were those of spirits, demons, and even...
It also carries the faint divine aura that it had once encountered!
Without further ado, Ji Xiu raised his hand and unleashed an invisible force that swept the manager of Wushan Hunting Village away.

Then he kicked the door open, sending wood chips flying everywhere and shattering into pieces!
The huge commotion immediately attracted attention.

As Ji Xiu strode across the threshold, his sharp gaze swept across the surrounding area.

Shockingly!

Then they saw a shrine built in the open space of the courtyard, which was being worshipped by many hunched-over villagers.

At the same time, a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
And on one side.

There sat a tusked boar-man, who had transformed into human form and whose aura was comparable to the three great demons who had once wreaked havoc on Anning and stormed into the county town, sitting comfortably on a stone chair.

The stench of blood emanated from between his drooling teeth, a smell that was utterly repulsive.

However, the young man, who bore a striking resemblance to the former lord of Wushan Town, Song Chai, was now showing great enthusiasm as he greeted his servants and prepared various blood offerings for them.

Among them were crying infants, but the mountain people, including the servants of Songzhuang, were all trembling with fear and dared not utter a word.

The little figure in the shrine was none other than that tusked pig-man!

The scene was utterly absurd for a time.

But then they saw Ji Xiu break down the door and enter.

Everyone's gaze and expression changed drastically:
"Where did this madman come from? He must not anger the gods!"

The pig-man then bared its tusks:
"Another reckless brute has gone mad?"

"Perfect, it'll give this god a change of pace."

He tossed aside the food in his hand with a regretful look, then stood up like a mountain of flesh, let out a burp, and looked completely satisfied.

Previously, in that 'Dragon Cave', I was just a monster that was only three or four hundred miles away.

Although he had cultivated for several hundred years, he was still far inferior to the Long-Armed Ancient Ape King, the Crimson-Striped Python King, and the Thunder-Calling Leopard Lord, who had once dominated the Dragon Cave for decades.

However, a catastrophe in Anning County wiped out the elite of the three demon lineages, causing his group of spirits and monsters to emerge.

Then the gate to the realm opened wide, and a majestic true god, carrying an imperial edict, ordered his divine armored subordinates to take control of the entire Earth Dragon Cave.

After these great demons submitted to the emperor, they were appointed as 'mountain gods and earth deities' and were responsible for suppressing and annexing those surrounding mountain towns.

Originally, his cultivation level was only at the level of skin refining, but in an instant, it soared like a rocket. Although it depleted his potential, it tempered his bones and straightened his body, making him even more terrifying than a martial artist in immortal robes!
If he were in Anning County, he would be a figure unparalleled in the county!
If it weren't for the fact that the deity hadn't yet issued the order, he, as the 'Mountain Lord' of Wushan, would probably have long since ceased to be content with merely lingering here after receiving the imperial decree.

He not only wants to build a shrine and temple in this small mountain town!

He also wants to go to Anning County, set up an altar and a temple, and become a great figure under that divine ruler!
The pig demon licked its tusks.

In recent days, there have been military men who have expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to attack him.

But even Song Chai, the lord of Wushan Town, had his collarbone pierced and was imprisoned in a water dungeon. His son even turned against him and fawned over him.

What else can restrain him?
In his limited understanding, he was backed by the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord' and was also the Mountain God, the vanguard of the royal procession!
In the entire Anning County, there was no one who could rival him!
Therefore, upon seeing Ji Xiu, who was hindering his tribute, the tusked boar-man immediately grinned and charged at him like a mountain of flesh!

but
The young-looking martial artist had a cold expression but didn't move an inch, remaining firmly planted in the ground like a stake.

Terrified?

This monstrous talent, 'Uncle Wushan,' snorted coldly, intending to slap him down and refine him instantly, but...
"Hmm? Where is that burnt smell coming from?"

"It looks just like roasted pig!!!"

Whoosh whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind, seemingly from nowhere, surged forth, causing the mountain boar demon, who resembled a mountain of flesh, to undergo a drastic change in expression!

He watched as the long robe he was wearing was clung to by wisps of scorching true fire, burning it incessantly. At that moment, he felt an intense pain suddenly fill his entire body!

"you"

Sensing something was wrong, he looked at Ji Xiu.

Upon seeing this young man, they were astonished to find that his pupils gleamed with golden light, burning with two inextinguishable true flames, and that fire patterns were rising from his forehead.

Divine Talisman Fire—The Seed of Taoist Magic!

The true flames that were scorching his entire body and could not be extinguished no matter how much he patted them were caused by him!

boom!
Like a small mountain falling, the tusked boar-man let out a scream, stunning all the mountain people in the town who worshipped 'Mountain God'.

Ji Xiu merely glanced coldly at this monstrous talent.

"you you."

"Do you know that I am 'Mountain Lord of Wushan,' a mountain god and earth deity personally appointed by the Sanwu Slaying God Temple!?"

"The Divine Lord commands the 'Earth Dragon Cave' and is about to attack Anning and suppress Jiangyin. If you kill me, you will be in trouble, you will definitely be in trouble, you..."

The pig demon's eyes were filled with fear. It rolled around incessantly, trying to extinguish the true flames on its body, but the 'divine talisman fire' slowly drained it dry. Before it could even finish speaking, it was reduced to charcoal in just a few breaths!
at the same time!

Ji Xiu practiced the 'True Martial World-Suppressing and Demon-Subduing Profound Skill' he had cultivated and suddenly made great progress!

[The ordained deity, 'Wushan Shanbo,' a local deity bestowed with the title by the Zhonghuang Tian Shenjun Temple, who slays heretical gods and protects the common people, is revered by all living beings. Advance payment progress increased by +77!]

【True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mystic Art: (78/3000)!】

Looking around.

But the villagers in the surrounding mountain towns, upon witnessing this scene, were first stunned, then one of them suddenly stepped forward angrily, kicked over the 'shrine,' and wept bitterly.

"My child, my child"

"That demon is finally dead!"

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

One by one, the shadows turned and bowed down to him.

It is also said that when Ji Xiu was practicing the "True Qi Dao Skill" with his whole body and blood, a shadow of "True Martial Suppresses the World, Jiazi Vanquishes Demons" appeared in a fleeting moment.

this moment.

He finally understood what the top-tier Qi Sea phenomenon, 'Jiazi Demon Slayer,' truly meant.

Suppressing all heretical doctrines and protecting the peace and tranquility of the seas and rivers!
Wherever one person is, that is the prison!

If one can achieve this, it will be known as the 'Peak Qi Sea'!
A realization dawned on him.

Then, looking at the so-called Wushan Mountain Master who had been reduced to charred remains and completely burned to ashes, he stomped on him!
"How dare these heretical and unorthodox gods act so presumptuously in the Great Xuan territory?"

"Let alone you, even if your divine ruler were to descend upon you..."

"Even they couldn't escape the Martial Saint's attack, which extinguished them with a single palm strike!"

Ji Xiu let out a cold sneer.

He then looked at the young man who had just served him so diligently, his heart breaking with rage, and simply said:
Where is Song Chai, the owner of Yuanshan Town, now?

"besides."

"Are all the mountain towns and hunting villages under my command, like this 'Wild God of Wushan,' such wicked creatures?!"

Ji Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone revealing a chilling aura.

If that's really the case.
These guys are all tired of living.

If we don't use swift and decisive measures to completely eradicate them and fulfill our ambition of "sweeping away demons in the Jiazi year"!

It's as if he's wasted his time cultivating the True Martial Profound Skill!

at the same time.

Just as Ji Xiu was about to defeat the Wild God.

Direction of the Earth Dragon Cave.

A majestic 'Primordial Divine Elephant' rose up, radiating the intensely fiery true intent of a Martial Saint, accompanied by a thunderous, earth-shattering roar of fury:
"The Divine Evil of Zhonghuang".

"How dare you take the remains of my disciple to build your 'Divine Armor' army!?"

"I must cross this boundary and destroy your Dharma body, otherwise I will not be able to vent my anger!!"

boom!
Then, an old man appeared, towering above the heavens, clearly visible at the foot of Wushan Mountain.
Xu Longxiang, carrying a coffin on his back, his beard and hair bristling, traversed the air as if stepping on a ladder to heaven, heading straight for the 'Gate of Boundaries'!
