I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 474 Finally, not just a nobody anymore

"Hoo~breath~"

With rhythmic breathing, Feng Xue once again entered a meditative state, and the slowly rotating star chart in his sea of ​​consciousness had become quite solid.

The vital energy of the five internal organs circulates and transforms into five planets orbiting the primordial sun. Threads of vitality radiate outward from the sun, illuminating the five planets to form the power of the five elements, and illuminating the moon to transform into the power of wishes.

The power of the five stars and the power of the moon's vows intertwined and condensed to form the seemingly small Earth, which revolves around the primordial sun and embodies all life.

Beyond these seven celestial spheres, the Star of Creation, the Star of Guidance, and the Star of Destruction are slowly and steadily rotating; these are the core forms of the three illusory gods: Kaguya, Bell, and Ghidorah.

Further outwards, there are countless stars shining brightly, with 258 star officials forming the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions. Within this celestial pattern, there are countless nameless stars, revolving according to their own trajectories.

The star map seemed to be subject to some ancient and unchanging rule, slowly rotating, but suddenly began to shrink, shrink, until it transformed into a vortex composed of stars, radiating a highly noticeable brilliance in the completely dark sea of ​​consciousness.

The vortex spun faster and faster, and suddenly, the star cluster that should have been spreading condensed. The next moment, a human figure replaced the sky full of stars.

This humanoid figure looked exactly like Feng Xue. The purple-gold crown on his head was adorned with the Purple Star Enclosure, the blue cloud shoes on his feet were painted with the Heavenly Market Enclosure, and his black Taoist robe was decorated with the Taiwei Enclosure. The four illusory figures of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, which were composed of constellations, surrounded him.

"Good heavens, he's already making such a show of things right after entering the Dao. If those cultivators in the folk world saw this, they'd probably kowtow to me on the spot!"

With a low groan, the solemnity vanished abruptly. The humanoid figure, resembling a country bumpkin, twisted its body, examining its attire, giving off the impression of a fool who couldn't be cool for more than three seconds.

However, Feng Xue obviously didn't care what image was in his mind; he was more curious about her current state.

In terms of his true spiritual level, his soul had only just crossed the threshold of "entering the Dao." In the folk world, that would be just stepping into the realm of cultivators. Even after death, his spirit could remain and go to the underworld to become a messenger or a city god.

However, for Feng Xue, entering the Dao had a different meaning, because his soul was no longer a weakling.

Well, to put it bluntly, he can finally cast spells without relying on external props such as altars and jade talismans.

Feeling that intuitive and intuitive spiritual touch, Feng Xue felt as if his life form had changed. Although his combat power had long since reached a level that even the masters in the folk world dared not dream of, realm and combat power are ultimately different.

At this moment, Feng Xue felt that she was incredibly strong and couldn't wait to find someone to fight and test her strength.

"Hey, when are you coming, Tiger Girl? Honestly, I didn't want you to come before, but you kept pestering me. Now I've set up a trap, and you're not coming, are you?"

Feng Xue exited his meditative state and, following the techniques in the "Secret Manual of the Mortuary," mixed his magical power into his blood and qi, incorporating it into his circulation. This was a method for prolonging life after entering the Dao in the folk world. Although he had Kaguya's life-extending ability, he wouldn't mind having too much lifespan.

In any case, compared to his lifespan, his vital energy and magical power always overflowed.

Other protagonists either face immediate danger after their advancement or only advance temporarily when danger arises. But Feng Xue, seeking peace of mind, made his advancement process remarkably smooth. Forget about his enemies; aside from a few like Mo Ying with whom he had a spiritual bond, even his close companion Liu Yunxi was a beat too late to react. At this point, more than six months had passed since Feng Xue sent out his first batch of wild chickens. In these six months, he had also captured two tax collectors, and many of the city's ghosts had reached the stage of "Passing on the Torch," accompanying the wild chickens to other new cities to spread their teachings. Every month, the wild chickens would also send back some promising and ambitious newcomers to receive Feng Xue's guidance.

Although he wouldn't dare say he had control, more than a dozen Fengdu branch cities had already come into his sights.

After expelling the old and taking in the new, the divine soul in Feng Xue's sea of ​​consciousness returned to its star-map-like form, and Feng Xue began to test her abilities.

While it's a good thing that his soul has become stronger, he must also know exactly how strong he has become and how much effort he needs to put into casting spells to achieve what kind of effect. Otherwise, if he were to repeat the old mistake of aiding the enemy, that would be truly ridiculous.

Just as he was enjoying the joy of his promotion, Kaguya suddenly reminded him:

"Master, we have returned to our true nature and our goodness."

"What are they doing here?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows. Although these two monks were quite easy to use and had lit the candle of the heart and settled their true nature, they could basically be considered as one of her own. However, they had been helping her deal with various odds and ends for the past six months. Their sudden visit was probably not a good thing.

Despite thinking this, Feng Xue still said:

"Let them come over."

As Kaguya relayed the message, the two demons, who were now barely recognizable as monks, came into view. It must be said that the bodies of demons are truly fascinating. It is true that one's appearance reflects one's heart. When you believe you are a monk, your appearance will shift towards that of a monk, and when you feel you are not a monk, you will become something else entirely.

Looking at the two brothers with their hair tied in buns and wearing Taoist robes, Feng Xue's eyes crinkled with a smile, and she casually said:
"what's up?"

"It's like this, sir. In a few days it will be the Ghost Festival on the fifteenth of the seventh lunar month... oops! It's the Hungry Ghost Festival. On this day, Ksitigarbha and the Ten Kings of Hell will participate in the Ghost Festival in the underworld. Theoretically, all the ghosts in the underworld should participate."

Gui Zhen cautiously offered a reminder, and Feng Xue raised an eyebrow, while Gui Shan immediately added:
"Of course, that's just in theory. In reality, there will still be quite a few absentees. For example, those Ghost Kings certainly won't walk right into our trap, right? We were mainly thinking... well, we were just asking if you have any plans..."

"I understand." Feng Xue calculated that there were still about seven or eight days left, so she did not give a definite answer.

Seeing this, Guizhen and Guishan wisely refrained from pressing the matter. However, before leaving, Guizhen added a final remark:

"Well, I've written down some things you need to know about the Obon festival. If you're interested, you can take a look."

With that, Guizhen placed a small booklet on the cabinet by the door and left, facing Feng Xue directly.

Feng Xue had grown accustomed to their attitude over time. With a flick of her wrist, without any magic, her magical power moved as nimbly as an arm to snatch the booklet. She glanced at it casually, thinking to herself:
"The Obon festival... If only I knew when Tiger Girl would arrive."
