Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 69: A Common Law God
The incarnation of a demon corpse is different from the evil ghost body. A ghost is just a spirit body. After entering the human body, it will devour the other party's three souls and merge with the other party's seven spirits, and then occupy the other party's body.

The demon corpse originally has three complete souls and seven spirits. After entering the human body, it cannot completely occupy it, but will instead produce a strong rejection.

Therefore, this Yin-Yang Corpse attacks people only to seize their essence, blood, spirit and energy, but it leaves in a moment, leaving behind only a dry skeleton.

He pounced on Jing Han with this in mind, but he didn't expect that the dagger in Jing Han's hand had a special power. A rainbow of blood burst out from the sword, directly cutting their souls in half, and then began to absorb blood and energy frantically.

The Yin-Yang Corpse roared and struggled, trying to break free, but the knife seemed to be a nemesis specially made for them, accurately locking onto every wisp of blood and energy, not allowing a single bit to escape until it was all sucked away!

At this time, the knife was no longer rusty as before, but turned scarlet, as if it could drip blood at any time.

Not only Xue Yan and Pei Qifeng were stunned, but even Pei Lingyu who came to kill them was shocked.

After the short knife absorbed the Yin-Yang corpse, it turned back and was about to chop into Jing Han's forehead!
"Not good!" Pei Lingyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He made a gesture with his left hand, using the Five Elements Sword Escape to capture Jing Han. He quickly moved to the side, and shot out five sword rays with his right hand towards the magic knife.

The magic knife failed to hit Jing Han, and the attack missed. Then it was entangled by five sword auras. Blood burst out from the knife, and immediately dispersed the sword auras. It turned around again, locked onto Pei Qifeng next to it, and shot at him quickly.

Pei Lingyu hurriedly pushed Pei Qifeng away again. He saw that the magic knife was powerful, so he took out the golden pill to kill evil and shot it out.

The magic knife failed to hit Pei Qifeng, and turned to hit Xue Yan, but was hit from behind by the Golden Pill of Evil Slaying, and immediately there was a loud explosion.

Golden light scattered and blood flew everywhere.

After all, the magic sword had no one to command it, and now the blood and energy inside it were blown out by the Golden Pill to Kill Evil.

Pei Lingyu then raised the magic mirror, and a black pearl appeared in the mirror, which shot out a ray of light that fell on the magic knife and nailed it down.

The magic knife struggled to escape, but after being fixed by the black bead, it could only tremble in place and could not move at all.

As Pei Lingyu roared angrily, fairy fire from the sky burned on the surface of the blade, burning the blood and energy into wisps of smoke.

Yang Qisheng and Liu Hanzhang worked together to collect the Xuanpin Stone. At that time, it had shrunk to the size of a palm, with a bronze mirror and a skull staff inserted on it, like a handicraft placed on a table.

There are more than 100,000 resentful souls in the stone. Yang Qisheng sealed it temporarily and will ask his teacher how to deal with it when he returns.

When they came over, Pei Lingyu was still refining the magic sword, but after refining it over and over again, he could only refine the blood and energy on the surface and could not damage its core.

In the end, he could only use the magic talisman to temporarily seal the magic knife.

After destroying the Yin-Yang Corpse, they returned to the previous tomb chamber to see Huai Lingguan about their results.

When their natal corpse was destroyed, the three demon corpse incarnations wanted to escape, but they couldn't.

On the side of Huailing Temple, Emperor Fenghuo only gave blessings from a distance, but the other three military souls and four demon gods were all present in person, surrounding the demon corpse incarnation. There were a large number of them, and their magical powers were no less than theirs. After a fierce battle, they finally imprisoned all the demon corpse incarnations and devoured them with the three military souls.

This is also their ultimate purpose for coming here today.

A major characteristic of the Shengong School is to worship the military souls of the previous dynasty as gods.

Some are "shared gods", that is, they are very famous and are worshipped by all branches and lineages. However, since they are shared by multiple groups, when they are summoned they can usually only receive blessings from remote magic power. At most, a clone will be sent, and the real body will not arrive.

The Emperor of Wind and Fire is the God of Public Law, and he is worshipped by several branches within the Shengong Sect.

In addition to the common Dharma gods, each family will also offer sacrifices to and support their own "individual Dharma gods", which are unique to their family.

What the three elders and four young men summoned were the gods that they individually worshipped, so they directly summoned the real gods.

The three generals have only practiced Taoism for two or three hundred years. They are much stronger than the red-clothed ghosts, but their strength is limited. If they want to become stronger, they must have more believers and worshippers. Another way is to devour other ghosts.

Devouring ghosts and integrating their soul memories can easily lead to insanity, so you cannot devour too many. It will not work to quickly become stronger by doing this.

Before this, the snake god had dealt with the horse demon in the general's tomb. Later, the four great demon gods and the three generals came in to check several times and learned a lot of secrets. They also asked the Emperor of Wind and Fire for help and got this method.

That is, the three incarnations that devoured Chu Hanfeng and Shi Wenyan.

Originally, the Wind and Fire Emperor calculated that there would be a total of six incarnations of the Three Corpses, including Chu Hanfeng and Shi Wenyan. In addition to the Three Dukes and Generals, the other four demon gods would also be able to get a share.

The final result was only three.

The three generals devoured the Demon Corpse Emperor, Demon Corpse Empress, and Demon Corpse General respectively, and also recovered their weapons: the Dragon and Phoenix Swords, the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the Moon-Covering Blade. The Fang Tian Hua Ji had previously been sealed by Liu Hanzhang, but because it was too large to fit into the Qian Kun Bag, it was temporarily placed in the cave above, where they found it and took it away.

The two sides met again and learned that the demon corpse's original body had been destroyed. Bao Wancheng and others felt very sorry, but at least they got three. Although it was not perfect, it was a success.

Bao Wancheng invited them to visit Huailing Temple. Pei Lingyu disdained their unorthodox practices and naturally refused. However, Yang Qisheng wanted to know more about them.

As they walked and chatted, Yang Qisheng learned that Huailing Temple was just the beginning of their business venture after the Putian Dajiao. They would expand vigorously in the future. They had already found sites in two neighboring counties and were preparing to build a Taoist temple. When the incense became more prosperous, their gods would become more powerful. When the gods became more powerful, they would be able to perform more miracles and attract more believers...

Yang Qisheng felt that this snowball model could easily grow rapidly, and he couldn't help but think of Master Dayu's plan. He wondered what model Taiyi Palace would eventually adopt.

The two sides parted ways in front of the tomb gate, and Yang Qisheng promised to visit Huailing Temple if he had the chance in the future.

After they all left, Yang Qisheng looked at Jing Han and said to Liu Hanzhang, "Brother, why don't you take him in?"

Liu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly refused: "According to the rules of our Xuanmen sect, only those who have refined the golden elixir, understood the mysteries, and reversed life and death can accept disciples. How can I be qualified..."

At this point, he thought of Pei Lingyu, the Pei Qifeng who was captured in the Demon Refining Stage, and quickly stopped talking.

Pei Lingyu snorted in displeasure. "Those were the old rules. My master changed them a long time ago. The Universal Grand Ceremony is no longer valid, and the era of great strife is about to begin. How can we still cling to the old ways?"

Liu Hanzhang remained noncommittal: "Anyway, I'm not qualified to accept a disciple, and my master wouldn't allow it."

Yang Qisheng believed that he was neither qualified nor capable of accepting disciples. Teaching martial arts was okay, but teaching immortal arts, especially authentic immortal arts like the Taiyi Palace, was absolutely impossible because he himself had not yet mastered it.

But Jing Han had too good talent, and it was a pity for him to be stranded in the mortal world. Moreover, he could see that the child had a heart towards Taoism, and Bao Wancheng and his gang also saw that the child was good. If Taiyi Palace did not accept him, he would most likely end up in Huailing Temple in the future.

That would be a real waste of talent.

"Jing Han led the way this time and helped us a lot." Yang Qisheng asked Jing Han, "Given his qualifications, I can't say anything about others, but Senior Brother Dayou will definitely like him when he sees him. Senior Brother Pei, how about you take him in?"

Pei Lingyu didn't like Jing Han, nor did he think Jing Han had done him any favors. He simply shook his head and refused: "I only accept Pei family members at the moment, not outsiders."

Yang Qisheng was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't take Jing Han back to Taiyi Palace directly, so he had to give up for the time being.

He took back the Taiyi Spirit Talisman, which belonged to the Taiyi Palace and could not be given to others. He also took the Golden Light Divine Mantra Talisman from the Golden Light Cauldron and gave it to Jing Han. "You can go home first. I will find you a sword master and come to take you up the mountain in a while."

Jing Han looked up and asked, "Can't you accept me?"

In his mind, Yang Qisheng was the best person to him besides his father, and the only one who gave him gifts. He wanted to be with Yang Qisheng.

Yang Qisheng had no choice but to give him a brief explanation, saying that he could not accept him as a disciple and could only let him wait at home.

Jing Han had no choice but to nod and agree, and said goodbye to them reluctantly.

This place is not far from Longgao Mountain. Yang Qisheng wanted to go back and take a look, but Pei Lingyu was unwilling to go. He only took his disciples Pei Qifeng and junior brother Xue Yan back to Taiyi Palace first.

Yang Qisheng brought Liu Hanzhang back to Longgao Mountain as a guest.

After entering Zhaoye Cave, Yang Qisheng invited Liu Hanzhang to sit down and have tea, and then went to find Ye Yunqiao.

He only found the note Ye Yunqiao left for him.

It turned out that Ye Yunqiao had already completely eliminated the evil spirit of the clam monster and left the mountain to help it reincarnate.

In the note, Ye Yunqiao expressed his envy of Yang Qisheng for being able to go to the ancestral temple of Qingning Mountain, and his worry that his master uncle would ask him to go there for no reason. He also said that after he sent the clam spirit to reincarnation, he would be able to atone for his sins and obtain the master's forgiveness. He hoped that after the master came out of seclusion, Yang Qisheng would help to say more good things about him and accept him back into the sect as soon as possible. He also looked forward to being officially entered into the genealogy and becoming a true disciple of Taiyi Palace in three years.

Yang Qisheng picked up his pen and wrote him a long message, briefly describing what had happened to him, and promised that he would not only plead for him in front of his master Mingyi Zhenren, but would also plead for him in front of his uncle in Taiyi Palace.

After writing the note, Yang Qisheng went to Shenglong Cave on the top of the mountain to pay his respects, and then rushed back to Taiyi Palace with Liu Hanzhang.

When they arrived at Taiyi Palace, Master Dayu had already returned from the East China Sea. Pei Lingyu handed over the Blood-Transforming Demonic Knife, and Yang Qisheng also handed over the Xuanpin Stone.

Dayou Zhenren took the Xuanpin Stone and studied it for two days before returning it to Yang Qisheng. "There are over a hundred thousand resentful souls within. You promised to convert them all. If you succeed, your cultivation will be substantial. As long as you don't go astray, you'll easily obtain top-grade golden elixirs. Even if the dangers of the Five Elements Refining can't be completely eliminated, you can easily overcome them. However, this thing carries another risk. You must weigh the pros and cons and make your own decision."
