Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 557-567: Creating a Divine Body

Regarding the matter of the Fuyi people, Lin Beixuan instructed Shu Langjun to have his men keep a close eye on them, and then ceased paying attention.

The biggest threats to him right now are still the Evil Spirit Lord and the Purple Maiden Goddess. Sometimes he can't help but think that he should just go and kill them himself, so that the war can end sooner.

There are a large number of wounded soldiers in the Beiming army camp every day. Although the medicine and medical books provided by Bai Xian can save many people, most of them will inevitably suffer lifelong disabilities.

Although there are precious medicines on Baishan Mountain that can bring people back to life and heal flesh and bones, they cannot satisfy so many people. Most of them are diluted and made into life-sustaining soups to pull back the wounded who have already stepped into the gates of hell.

After returning to Liangzhou, Lin Beixuan immediately convened a meeting to arrange the next steps.

In fact, given the current state of the war, his presence in Liangzhou served primarily to boost morale, aside from conveniently keeping an eye on the Evil Spirit True Lord and the Purple Maiden Goddess's sneak attacks.

He didn't know much about military affairs and couldn't offer much help to the Northern Dark Army on the battlefield because he couldn't easily take action.

At least for now, all three parties are still maintaining basic rules, and beings above the level of mortal gods have not yet intervened.

But that's only for now. Lin Beixuan knows that the battle will become more intense as time goes on. Eventually, whether it's a mortal god, a human immortal, or even him and the evil spirit Zhenjun Zigu, they will all step forward and determine the winner of this battle.

During this time, Lin Beixuan planned to thoroughly absorb the inheritance he had obtained from the Four Symbols Dragon Horns.

Moreover, during this period, the killing calamity between heaven and earth became increasingly intense. Lin Beixuan could feel that the killing seal between his eyebrows had undergone a slight transformation after absorbing this endless killing intent.

The killing mark between his eyebrows began to slowly crack, revealing a tiny bulge, as if something was trying to break through the flesh and blood from between his eyebrows.

Lin Beixuan couldn't be sure whether this was good or bad, because he seemed to have no control over it.

"What? Seclusion?"

Upon hearing Lin Beixuan's decision, the Fox Spirit God couldn't help but raise his voice.

"If you choose to go into seclusion now, who will take control of the overall situation in Luo Prefecture?"

"You will temporarily take over," Lin Beixuan said softly, looking at the astonished Fox Spirit God in front of him.

After pondering for a long time, the Fox Spirit God let out a long breath and solemnly said, "I can temporarily take over, but you must first tell me how long you need to go into seclusion."

Before the battle, he went into seclusion, and as the commander-in-chief of the army and the prefect of Liang and Luo provinces, Lin Beixuan needed to appear from time to time to stabilize the morale of the troops.

The combined forces of the Evil Spirit Army and the Demon Army have put immense pressure on the Northern Underworld Army. If the soldiers were to hear Lin Beixuan announce his intention to go into seclusion at this time, it would likely have a negative impact.

"Seven days at most," Lin Beixuan said calmly. "In seven days, the armies of all dynasties should have arrived by then. In any case, the outcome of the battle can be determined."

"Seven days..." the Fox Spirit God repeated softly.

"Alright, I will keep an eye on Liangzhou for the next seven days."

Lin Beixuan nodded and smiled, saying, "I'm at ease leaving it to you."

Although he met the Yu God earliest in Luozhou, the one who helped Lin Beixuan the most was undoubtedly the Fox Spirit God.

Sheshan and the Fox Spirit God have always been fully supporting Lin Beixuan's actions, providing him with food, clothing, weapons, and armor, as well as the Hu Xian Elder, who was transferred from the Hu Xian Clan to help Lin Beixuan handle government affairs.

It can be said that without Sheshan and the Fox Spirit God, Lin Beixuan would never have reached this point.

Of course, it wasn't just Hu Xian among them; there were also Hui Xian, Huang Xian, and Bai Xian, and these three immortals also provided him with considerable assistance.

The storytellers outside have begun to refer to the four great families of Hu, Huang, Bai, and Hui as the Four Immortals of the Northern Underworld, meaning the most capable assistants under the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

The title of "Four Immortals" was fully established thanks to Lin Beixuan's reputation.

Moreover, as Lin Beixuan's territory continued to expand, some immortal forces living in Liangzhou also began to slowly gather under Lin Beixuan's command.

In the secular world, any spirit or deity that has developed spirituality and chooses to interact with people for a long time, helping them and asking for rewards, can be called a deity.

Unlike ordinary gods and immortals, these mountain spirits are more down-to-earth and sometimes more direct and effective than worshipping ordinary gods.

Because you believe in a secular god, who is high above you and may not necessarily protect you.

But if you believe in the spirits of the mountains and are willing to offer incense and sacrifices, the spirits can truly help you.

Besides the large number of the Five Immortals, there are also some spirit-possessed Tiger Immortals, Wolf Immortals, Deer Immortals...

These spirits demand different things from people who come to their aid; some ask for blood offerings, while others ask for rare treasures.

They have their own logic within the folk incense-burning system and have many believers.

In the areas ruled by Lin Beixuan, the power of the immortals flourished to an unprecedented degree.

The credit for this largely rests with the four immortals: Hu, Huang, Bai, and Hui.

Lin Beixuan pondered that perhaps he could place a shrine for the immortals in his Beimingfujun Temple in the future.

After temporarily entrusting all matters to the Fox Spirit God, Lin Beixuan officially began his seclusion.

He wasn't worried that the Evil Spirit True Lord and the Purple Maiden Goddess would launch a surprise attack on Liangzhou during his seclusion, because even without him, with the Kangxing Goddess present, the other side would be extremely cautious when making decisions.

Moreover, unlike when breaking through to become a Human Immortal, he cannot stop midway. If the situation becomes critical, he can choose to exit seclusion at any time.

In the enclosed space, only a single candlelight dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surroundings.

Lin Beixuan sat cross-legged on the futon, his aura becoming increasingly restrained, as if it had been completely hidden back into his body, awaiting a grand outburst.

"Although I have now entered the Human Immortal realm and my foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary Human Immortals, this is because of the foundation I laid when I was in the Opening Mansion Realm and the Invocation of God Realm."

"This foundation led me down a path completely different from that of ordinary cultivators. It means that if I want to break through to the Great Luo realm, I cannot do it like ordinary cultivators. I must create a breakthrough path that is unique to me."

Lin Beixuan closed his eyes, his breathing becoming long and deep, as if he had entered a state of deep breathing.

"Ordinary people open their mansions by visualizing and constructing a temple or palace within their bodies that can contain the strange energy of heaven and earth. But I open my mansions by using energy vortexes to build the four beams and eight pillars, laying a solid foundation, and then using the power of the pathways as tiles to open up a vast mansion."

"This allowed me to use the power of pathways that others could only use when they were at the Invocation Realm, even when I was at the Opening Realm. At the same time, my strength was far superior to that of others at the same level." "When one reaches the Invocation Realm, ordinary people integrate protective objects into their temples, open altars and add incense, transforming their spiritual energy into incense sticks to invite the spirits of mortal gods to descend into their temples. This allows them to connect with the pathways of mortal gods, enabling them to master the power of various pathways and, in times of crisis, to ask mortal gods for help."

"As for me, I regard myself as a god, integrate the power of the shrine in my destiny, establish myself as a god, directly give myself the power of pathways, and greatly use the pathways to strengthen and transform my body."

"Although doing this prevents me from asking for help from mortal gods like others, my body and strength are far superior to those of ordinary gods in the Invocation Realm. This allows me to establish a temple with incense offerings ahead of time, absorb the incense offerings from the people, and have the qualifications to fight against mortal gods in the Invocation Realm."

Lin Beixuan kept reviewing his journey in his mind, and re-stabilized his power system.

"If I want to break through to the Great Luo realm with my current status as a Human Immortal, I first need to elevate my destiny again."

"The Ten Gods are in a well-ordered system. As the calamity energy between heaven and earth continues to surge, the power of the Destiny of the Lord of Calamity is constantly increasing. The reason why it has not grown explosively in my body is because it is restrained by the Destiny of the Five Gods. Some of its power is stolen by other Destinies to balance the Destiny of the Lord of Calamity."

"If I want to stop suppressing my main destiny, I need to add more destiny elements to maintain the balance of power between the destiny elements in my body."

Lin Beixuan took a light breath, and the elusive tribulation energy from the outside world was absorbed into his body.

Ordinary gods, immortals, and mortals fear the aura of calamity like tigers and leopards, and have no desire to be tainted by it. But Lin Beixuan does the opposite, using the aura of calamity to enhance his own power.

The dead sun is one of the most terrifying calamities in the world. If the majestic red sun at dawn represents the birth of all things, then the dead sun represents the end of all things and the end of life.

“I don’t lack destiny now, but doing this would involve too many variables, and I have no control over it. At that time, even my mind might be greatly affected by destiny.”

"This is not what I want, so my destiny cannot be changed for the time being, and I can only take the second path."

"authority!"

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through the previously enclosed space. This breeze carried a slight chill, like a breath of fresh air brought on by the warm spring sun melting the winter snow.

In an instant, all of Lin Beixuan's divinely created organs vibrated at the same frequency.

This is the excitement of the divinely created organs. Under the blowing of the wind of revival, they feel an unprecedented pure power that can be absorbed and accepted by all organs.

"The four dragon horns are the talismans of the Chen Dragon, containing part of the opponent's divine and secular authority."

"Spring thunder; carrying the wind of revival, brewing thunder in the clouds and mist, clearly a destructive force, yet carrying the divine mechanism of new life. I cannot grasp and exert the true power of the Dragon's authority with just the four dragon horns."

"However, if I use authority to enter my body and fuse my body with the power of authority, then my body will no longer be just an ordinary mortal-immortal body, but will be able to advance into a divine body rich in special attributes, just like in fantasy novels."

“I could even use this to create my own divine body.”

Lin Beixuan thought to himself that this was the momentary inspiration he had after breaking through to the Human Immortal realm and shedding his mortal body.

However, due to various reasons, I never officially put this idea into practice.

Now his battle with the Evil Spirit Lord and the Goddess Zigu is coming to an end. At that time, the other party will surely step in personally to decide who will win this war.

All sides are already preparing contingency plans for the final battle, and he is no exception.

The so-called aid from past dynasties was nothing but a facade; what he truly trusted and relied on was his own formidable strength.

"The panel once indicated that the Dragon governs the Four Symbols, is born from the origin, and has boundless entropy. Its spring thunder, summer rain, autumn dew, and winter hibernation are the Four Symbols of the Dragon."

"The power of the Four Symbols is complex, and its variations are much greater than the pure and powerful power of the mortal masters such as the Heavenly Gang Venerable."

"But this also means that the operability of the Four Symbols Power is far greater than that of other secular powers."

"The Yin-Yang Xuan Guan once said that I should make good use of the power of the Dragon. I used the power of the Dragon to create a divine body of my own, which can be considered as making effective use of it."

Lin Beixuan faced upwards, feeling the vibrations emanating from the divinely created organs within his body.

Spring thunder revives, first to make up for some shortcomings caused by his refining of the divine organs. After all, he refined the divine organs too quickly, which inevitably left some defects. Although it will not affect the coordination and operation of his divine power in general, it is still not enough if he wants to create a divine body.

A gentle breeze lingered in the space for a long time, and the candlelight flickered and swayed, as if a hand was floating, casting a dancing shadow on the wall.

Suddenly, a muffled rumble of thunder resounded from Lin Beixuan's body.

The continuous thunder emanated from his various divine organs. After being cleansed by the winds of revival, his divine organs seemed to become even more thirsty, and began to continuously absorb the divine power from the incense and temple.

They all ceased functioning and transformed into bottomless pits that only consumed and never expelled, swirling and devouring within Lin Beixuan's body.

This phenomenon was somewhat unexpected for Lin Beixuan. He originally intended to use the Four Symbols Authority to refine his divinely created organs once more, but he never expected that it would start to develop in an unpredictable direction.

However, he could clearly feel the changes within his body, which were developing in a positive direction, so he did not try to stop them.

“I have the authority of reincarnation to protect the incense and temple, so there is no need to worry about the power collapsing again. Since you have your own ideas, I will accompany you.”

Lin Beixuan smiled, and a continuous stream of incense energy flowed from the incense temple at the deepest part of his mansion, pouring into each of his thirsty organs.

This process lasted for a long time. Lin Beixuan didn't know how much time had passed, but he knew that the incense power in his temple had been almost completely drained, and the divine organs in his body finally seemed to have eaten and drunk their fill, emitting a shimmering starlight, like shining stars.

At this moment, Lin Beixuan felt as if his body was a newly formed galaxy, the divine power flowing in his blood was a river of stars, and his organs were stars that were incubating and growing inside.

A mysterious and unknown force was brewing within it, and it seemed that something would soon emerge from it.

Outside, a raindrop suddenly hit Lin Beixuan's shoulder.

The four dragon horns emerged from Lin Beixuan's body and floated above his head. Divine power turned into rain and fell down, while the stars within his body began to vibrate.

These raindrops were like countless meteors crashing into the constellations that Lin Beixuan was about to hatch, and the scene he had created by consuming all his incense and divine power was shattered at this moment.

At the same time, Lin Beixuan was also suffering from the intense pain caused by the destruction of the divine organs within his body.

He thought he was about to create a star deity body that could transform into a galaxy, but he never expected that he would fail before he even succeeded.

The situation once again took a turn that deviated from his expectations.
