Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 328 The Lower Bound
The words of the Supreme Dao Ancestor were actually quite clear: if he wanted to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of this world, he had to overcome the barrier of demonic energy.

The best way to eliminate demonic energy is simply to eradicate the many evil demons that were born from it.

But there are so many demons in this world, and most of them operate in the shadows. He is probably powerless to stop them. Unless he can control a part of the Heavenly Dao and set up restrictions on the rules of heaven and earth, he can only kill them one by one.

Although Niu Yi didn't think there were many powerful demons in this world that would cause him so much trouble, it was still quite a challenge.

"It seems I need to create my own power in this world and distribute all the techniques I possess."

Niu Yi pondered in his mind, his fingers constantly calculating and deducing.

After meeting the Supreme Dao Ancestor, Niu Yi suddenly had many clear ideas about what he needed to do in this world.

Furthermore, if the Dao Ancestor could find him through his incense offerings and voice, then could he also, through his connection with the Dao Lord's avatar and by offering incense and prayers to the Divine Physician Dao Lord, establish a connection with the avatar?
Even after mastering the Heavenly Dao of this world, he used it to establish a connection between this world and the Divine Healer Dao Lord of the Three Realms, making this place a 'lower world' of the Three Realms.
Niu Yi's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He had basically figured out his ideas and was just waiting to put them into practice.

"Xiao Hai, Poison Witch, get ready, prepare the carriage, we're leaving."

"Okay, sir!"

On the other side, Bai Qingqing was walking through Liuxi County with her many disciples, attracting the attention of passersby.

"Elder Bai, if we just go back like this, is that alright?"

Hearing the words of the female disciple behind her, Bai Qingqing shook her head and said:

"There's nothing we can do about it. The other party is someone who can be addressed as 'Young Master' by one of the five Witch Ancestors of Southern Xinjiang. How could such a person be simple? We can only try to persuade him gently."

"Let's go. Once we return to the sect, we'll tell them the truth."

"Young Master Guo, please take your time. If you have free time in the future, please come and visit us often."

Outside the Liuxi County government office, Magistrate Xu, with a beaming smile, escorted Niu Yi all the way out of the residence.

He was overjoyed and exclaimed that the plague god was finally coming!
Niu Yi stood outside the gate, clutching the silver notes in his hand, and smiled at Magistrate Xu beside him:
"Since the magistrate has extended an invitation, I will definitely visit you more often in the future."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Xu's face stiffened, and he almost lost his smile. He forced a grin and said:
"I would definitely welcome you, I would definitely welcome you."

Niu Yi smiled and nodded, deciding to stop teasing the magistrate. He then climbed into the carriage parked by the roadside and looked at Xiao Hai beside him.

"Xiao Hai, let's go."

"Yes, son."

Xiao Hai stared blankly at the silver notes in Niu Yi's hand, because these silver notes were obtained by exchanging all of the Guo family's properties and mansion.

When Magistrate Xu came to apologize earlier, he brought over all the land deeds and properties of the Guo family, and also prepared an extra thousand taels of silver.

After all, those who can buy their way into official positions are all quite wealthy. Magistrate Xu spent an unknown amount of money bribing officials at all levels in order to obtain the position.

However, Niu Yi has now sold all of the Guo family's land deeds and properties to Magistrate Xu in exchange for these silver notes.

Although Xiao Hai supports all of the young master's decisions, he doesn't understand why the young master wants to sell everything.

Niu Yi laughed:

"Stop looking at Xiaohai, let's go. We'll build our own 'home' with our own hands, a powerful new 'home' that will shake the whole world." "Okay!"

"Poison Witch, follow behind. We need to be quick this time."

"Yes, son!"

"Um???"

Pudu Cihang, who was sitting in meditation on the bed wearing Buddhist robes, suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with a fierce look, making his entire appearance strange.

Just now, he suddenly felt a sudden urge, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

After all, he was a centipede spirit who had cultivated for thousands of years, devoured the imperial court's fortune, and was about to transform into a dragon. How could he not have the ability to sense danger?

Normally, he would have sensed that something was going to harm him, but just now he only felt a strange unease.
Pudu Cihang's expression twisted slightly, and the prayer beads in his hand began to spin rapidly, but no matter how he practiced the methods, he still couldn't figure out what caused the sudden unease that had just appeared.
"Once I devour Fu Tianchou, I can replenish my last bit of fortune and prepare to transform into a dragon. There absolutely cannot be any accidents in this matter!"

With a fierce look in his eyes, Pudu Cihang vanished from the bed with a flick of his sleeve. The maids beside him stood there with smiles on their faces, as if they hadn't seen anything at all.

A few days later, Niu Yi and his group had just passed through a village when Xiao Hai kept looking back and sighed softly.

"The world is indeed getting more and more chaotic."

Just now, he witnessed a group of yamen runners, who looked like bandits, forcibly taking away a wife and daughter. The reason given was that the daughter had glanced at the yamen runners a few times, clearly intending to steal money!

What's even more infuriating is that along the way, they have encountered many officials who, for various reasons, have tried to detain them along with their carriages because they were driving one.

If it weren't for their young master's extraordinary abilities—he was so captivated by the officials at first glance that he even managed to save the wife and daughter—they would probably be in jail three months ago.

Besides these government officials, there has also been a significant increase in the number of bandits in the forest. It is hard to imagine that in just one or two months, the situation outside has deteriorated to this extent, as if all the problems that had been accumulating in various places had suddenly erupted.

Judging from this, Liuxi County is actually in a better situation. Nowadays, whether it is the imperial court or various localities, the situation is already terrible, and the people are suffering.

Niu Yi remained calm. He had seen too many such things on both sides of the Tongtian River. As a deity, he could not interfere in human affairs, but if he saw such a thing here, he would try to help.

"Universal Salvation and Compassionate Journey."

Niu Yi murmured the name.

This demon, which has cultivated for thousands of years and is about to transform into a dragon, is his target for this journey.

This guy devoured the fortunes of all the civil and military officials and the court, which is why the court's situation has deteriorated so rapidly recently.

This guy, while perhaps not the strongest, is probably the one who has caused the most harm to the human world.

Before that, he planned to find Yan Chixia and go with him, and also try to absorb Yan Chixia into the force he was about to build.

As for the Left Commander who escorted Fu Tianchou, if possible, he would definitely try to win him over. However, this man was loyal to the court and was willing to do anything for it, which was quite a headache for him.

Niu Yi has a very high opinion of this person.
