Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 386 Re-establishing the Path of Witchcraft and Ghosts!
The Seven Luminaries.

Lu Yang's consciousness returned to [Lihentian], and his Dharma body naturally appeared at the same time. He held the Myriad Spirits Banner in his hand and then shook it forcefully.

"Whoosh!"

Within the Myriad Spirits Banner, a surge of powerful earth energy erupted, revealing itself to be the 800-mile-long Skull Mountain ley line. Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang also sensed this.

Above the sky, it seemed as if a gaze fell upon him out of thin air, staring intently at the ley lines he had just smuggled from this desolate place. This gaze was far less agile than that of the Myriad Martial Realm, and even less capable of setting traps and schemes than the heavens and earth of this desolate place; instead, it was filled with bewilderment.

'Still too young, but that's just right.'

Young people are easy to fool!
Lu Yang deliberately separated a wisp of earth vein energy, which was instantly swallowed by the Seven Luminaries Heaven. Afterward, Lu Yang felt a powerful force sweep over him.

"Boom!"

The next second, Lü Yang discovered that within the Myriad Spirits Banner, banner spirits emerged one after another, and each banner spirit was now bursting forth with a powerful incense offering!

These incense sticks pointed directly at Lü Yang, instantly transforming the entire [Lihentian] into a sacred realm of incense offerings. Countless incense sticks intertwined and condensed at this moment, finally revealing a radiant talisman filled with sandalwood fragrance, which quietly floated in the center of [Lihentian].

"Ordination by incense offerings!"

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang's face lit up with joy. The Seven Luminaries Heaven was truly an honest place; he had only given a wisp of earth vein energy, yet it had already given him a response.

From this day forward, he will have a Seven Stars account!
Lu Yang's divine sense landed on the incense and talisman, only to find that its inscription was blank, clearly requiring Lu Yang to fill it in before it would truly form a divine title.

"this thing"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly grinned, then picked up his brush and, without hesitation, wrote a line of large, flowing characters in the center of the talisman:

[Yamata, Xuanming, and Sheyoufu Lord]!
With the divine office established, the divine register was immediately completed.

In an instant, Lü Yang felt the incense and talisman before him growing ever closer to him, but then, with a thought, he summoned the Ancestor Tingyou.

"Is there anything you need my help with this time? Hmm."

As soon as Ancestor Tingyou appeared, he immediately saw Lü Yang and the incense talisman behind him that read "Yam Demon Heavenly Mysterious Netherworld Lord".

He was all too familiar with the name Yama, the Lord of the Netherworld. It was the honorific name he had given Yama when he created the [Yama Palace] technique. At that time, his ambition was sky-high, and he used the word "Lord" in the last character, intending to use this as a pretense to hold a golden position and rival a Golden Core True Lord.
Instead, it led to his death.

In an instant, countless thoughts arose in the mind of Ancestor Tingyou. Memories of the past of the Witch Ghost Path flashed through his mind, finally settling on Lü Yang.

"Grandmaster."

With a smile on his face, Lü Yang said in an impassioned tone, "Now that we have arrived in a completely new realm, why not re-establish the Path of the Witch and Ghost?"

"Re-establish the Way of Witchcraft and Ghosts," Master You murmured softly.

"Not bad!"

The next second, Lü Yang waved his hand and said excitedly, "This disciple believes that the incense and divine path of the Seven Luminaries Heaven is the opportunity for our Witchcraft and Ghost Path to rise!"

"In the past, our Wugui Sect couldn't gather nine Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators. Therefore, even though our patriarch created the method of 'falsely holding the Golden Core,' we didn't have time to implement it before our sect was wiped out by a single sword strike. Didn't our patriarch ever think of gathering nine Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, 'falsely holding the Golden Core,' and competing with that True Monarch?"

Lu Yang's words immediately brought tears to the eyes of Patriarch Tingyou.
Didn't he think about it? Of course he did!
Ever since the Witchcraft Cult was wiped out a thousand years ago, he has thought about it every single day and night as he eked out a living! But that's all; he never thought he could do it.

But is there really hope now?
Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang pushed over the incense talisman he had just condensed: "Ancestor, I entrust this to you. From now on, you shall take charge of it!"

"Give it to me...isn't that inappropriate?" Master Tingyou frowned slightly.

In his view, although Lü Yang has now refined the [Lihentian] into a new form, he only has the status but no cultivation, and he relies entirely on the protection of the banner spirit.

Therefore, Lü Yang should need incense and talismans even more.

However, when faced with the patriarch's refusal, Lü Yang waved his hand without hesitation: "It is absolutely true. I feel more at ease knowing that the patriarch is in charge of this item."

"After all, with the patriarch's abilities, he could certainly bring out the value of this item better than I could!"

His words were full of righteous indignation. But in private...
"Are you kidding? How could I possibly want something with such an unclear background? What if there's a trap? That's too dangerous!"

Lü Yang was certainly not a selfless person.

Having been ripped off so often in this desolate place, he instinctively became suspicious of incense and talismans, so he decided to find a reliable person to test the waters for him.

'Anyway, what belongs to the Banner Spirit is mine, and what's mine is still mine.'

'With the patriarch's enlightenment, he would surely be able to figure out the details of this incense and talisman.'

'If there are no problems, then everyone is happy, and I can use it later. If there are problems, then I won't be the one who suffers.'

Incidentally, it can also make the words sound nicer, providing emotional value to the Master of Listening to the Darkness.

why not?

Bai Village.

Since the decision has been made to re-establish the path of witchcraft and ghosts and follow the path of incense and gods, the identity of the Bai Village Land God will be very useful, and Lü Yang plans to make good use of it.

"Unfortunately, not all banner spirits can provide me with incense offerings."

There are two types of spirits within the Wanling Banner.

One type is those who are refined into banner spirits after death, and this accounts for the majority. The other type is those who are alive, like Ancestor Tingyou and Chen Xin'an, who enter the banner.

Only the latter could provide incense offerings for Lü Yang. Lü Yang's guess was that the latter had a chance to revive in some sense, so it was regarded as a "living thing" by the Seven Luminaries Heaven, while the other banner spirits were essentially dead, and dead things naturally could not provide any incense offerings.

Take your time, there's no rush.

Lu Yang possessed Chen Xin'an, and carrying the local earth god of Bai Village, he arrived at the earth god temple in Bai Village. With a surge of his magic, he vanished into an unknown place.

"Somewhat like the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

Lu Yang looked around with some curiosity. This place was entirely formed by the condensation of incense smoke, yet it was also subtly connected to the local earth god temple.

Here, the condition of Bai Xiangcun's land has also improved, and it has returned to the pseudo-foundation stage. However, with Lü Yang around, it is impossible for him to wake up again in this lifetime. After all, if he wants to develop the Witch Ghost Path, the identity of a land god who already has a villager base is just right, saving him a lot of effort.

"But this place is still too small."

Lu Yang looked around and quickly came up with an idea:
'Although I don't intend to use that incense and talisman, it's still feasible to have [Lihentian] replace this local earth god temple as the new incense-burning sacred site!'

He even harbored a greater ambition.

Given time, could [Lihentian] expand to the entire Seven Luminaries Heaven and become the only sacred realm for worshippers, thus accommodating countless City Gods?
After all, being a sole proprietor is nowhere near as enjoyable as running a platform.
'If I can truly accomplish this, then the nascent Seven Luminaries Heavenly Fruit position, the source of all city gods and incense offerings, will surely be mine!'

Without hesitation, Lü Yang immediately began the traction process.

The [Lihentian], which was originally located high in the sky, quietly descended and replaced the local temple. Then it began to plot how to harvest the villagers' incense offerings.

However, just as Lü Yang was envisioning a bright future...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire [Earth God Temple] shook violently, startling him awake. As he regained his senses, several thoughts flashed through his mind:

'I've been exposed!'

Was the local temple a bait to lure me in?

'Is someone trying to harm me again?!'
