Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 427 Plant the birds there, plant my own gods

Seeing that Li Wushou remained silent
Sha Xiu, Shui Ya, and Zang Qiu dared not utter a word.

However, as he bowed, Sha Xiu would occasionally glare angrily at the water cliff.

At this moment, his mind was forcibly controlled by Li Wushou. Although he dared not resist Li Wushou, he disliked Shuiya, who had betrayed him.

According to his current logic, he believes that if Shuiya had confessed to him earlier, he might have already surrendered to Li Wushou.

Why go to such great lengths?

Shuiya ignored Shaxiu's angry glare, focusing solely on completing the Second Master's task.

Besides, he didn't even care about his own life or death, let alone going to Shash.

This attitude only fueled Sha Xiu's anger even more.

However, the four of them didn't have to wait long. In the void filled with water and clouds, ripples appeared quietly, and then a cluster of flames broke through the void and stood quietly in front of Li Wushou.

With a flick of his sleeve, Li Wushou grasped the flame in his palm. The flame subsided and transformed into a fireball, which Li Wushou then retrieved into his divine aperture.

This was another boundary treasure that Li Wushou gave to Cuisong.

The old beggar had already quietly returned to the Three Immortals Pavilion.

With a thought, Li Wushou carried the golden magic orb into the Three Immortals Pavilion.

The old beggar was sitting with his legs crossed, looking at Li Wushou with a smug expression.

Seeing this, Li Wushou naturally knew that Ma Feng had obviously been dealt with. In fact, not long after he took the golden magic orb from Sha Xiu, he sensed that his human skin control talisman had taken control of Ma Feng's "spirit".

This is also why he felt the old beggar would return soon.

Therefore, Li Wushou did not ask any further questions, and simply threw the magic orb in his hand over, then stood there with a curious expression.

He also wanted to see how the old beggar actually hitchhiked.

The old beggar wasn't slow at all; with Li Wushou's promise of a 50/50 split, he was quite proactive about it.

The moment he received the magic ball, the old beggar pulled out a wooden plaque shaped like a lark from his pocket.

The Lark Wood plaque is half gold and half red, and judging from the marks, it was clearly carved recently.

But Li Wushou was very familiar with this appearance; it was the "Skylark" sealed in the Zhu Liuli Divine Palace!
Even the aura emanating from the wooden plaque was quite similar to what I remembered, only with some variations, just like the Sparrow Head that was displayed in the Holy Domain.

Did the old beggar absorb the other party's sparrow spirit aura back in the Holy Realm?
Or did it originate from these primordial spirit sparrows?
Gazing at the old beggar, Li Wushou did not ask any questions, feeling that both answers were in line with the old beggar's style.

The old beggar, holding the golden orb, suddenly became solemn, then opened his mouth and bit off two fingers.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou couldn't help but take a few steps back and make way for him.

He was also afraid that the old beggar would ask him for help.

The old beggar chewed it several times, then suddenly bowed deeply to the magic orb and said:

"Please have mercy, Zhu Liuli has a tragic life, you should all worship her!"

The moment the prayer was completed, the aura on the lark wooden tablet suddenly surged, and a golden-red phantom of a lark floated out.

The primordial spirit sparrow within the golden orb simultaneously turned and bowed to the illusory image of the skylark.

The lark's phantom became increasingly solid until Li Wushou, upon looking at it, immediately recognized it as a lifelike lark. The old beggar then swallowed his finger, and with a flick of his newly grown finger, a ball of mud made from incense ash fell into the lark's mouth.

The lark let out a cry, then landed on the wooden sign and disappeared. Golden light shone on the sign, and a row of large characters appeared in flowing, dynamic strokes.

"Son of the Sparrow Lord, the Glazed Sparrow God"

A glint flashed in Li Wushou's eyes. Based on past experience, the name on the wooden plaque should usually be the real name of the person, such as "Great Heavenly Venerable of Immortal Mountain"!
"Son of Que Zun"?
Could it be that the spirit of the lark that Zhu Liuli sealed is the offspring of the lark spirit that the Sparrow Lord sealed?

After the two merged, their true name became "Liuli Sparrow God"?
Seemingly sensing Li Wushou's doubt, the old beggar directly asked for confirmation:

"The spirit of the lark that Zhu Liuli sealed is indeed related to the Sparrow Lord."

Li Wushou nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "As expected." But before he could speak, the old beggar said something meaningful:

"Hehe. The Sparrow Lord has gone to great lengths to break free from the shackles of the Sealed Spirit Path."

These words seemed nonsensical. Judging from his control over Sha Xiu and Ma Feng's minds, the information he had received indicated that very few people within the Fengling Dao inherited the Sparrow Lord's abilities; they only knew of Zhu Liuli.

This is consistent with the information Li Wushou obtained through the talisman master!
What did the old beggar mean by saying that?
Just as he was about to ask, the old beggar waved his hand and threw the golden magic orb back to Li Wushou.

While waving his hand and yawning, he said:
"Give the magic orb to Sha Xiu to plant the birds. It has already started in Ma Feng. Once the birds on both sides are planted, this new god will be planted in the hearts of millions of people, including a large number of cultivators."

With the Sparrow Lord's tacit approval, there's no need to hide anything; you can take the opportunity to refine your divine power.

My hand hurts so much, I need to rest!

Without waiting for Li Wushou's reply, she turned and walked towards the bed.

Li Wushou was quite shocked by the old beggar's words. He just didn't want Zhu Liuli to reap lives and transform herself too easily. He didn't expect that she could gain millions of believers to refine her spirit.
It seems that the Fengling Dao and the Shendao do indeed have many similarities!
No wonder the old beggar asked for 50% of the proceeds; it turns out it concerns the offerings of millions of people and even a large number of cultivators!

This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Li Wushou!

But isn't the old beggar's claim of hand pain a bit far-fetched?

He glanced discreetly at the old beggar's perfectly healed fingers. He wondered when the old beggar had regained his golden form so quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

Even Li Wushou didn't know how much of the old beggar's body was still broken and incomplete beneath his dark, wrinkled skin.

Composing himself, Li Wushou wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Curiosity comes at a price!
Unless he makes a concession, the old beggar will definitely not speak up; he is unwilling to lose so much incense offering just to satisfy his curiosity.

He withdrew his mind from the Three Immortals Pavilion, took the golden magic orb out, and handed it to Sha Xiu.

Li Wushou spoke and gave the order:

"Disperse all the primordial spirit sparrows as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he lay back down in the coffin and returned to the shrine tomb where autumn was buried.

Sha Xiu bowed and accepted the order. The yellow sand avatar stepped forward again, holding the golden magic ball, and blew it forcefully.

A gust of wind arose from the void, whipping up a ray of golden light from the magic orb and sending it falling into the watery clouds that had been lingering below for some time.

Amidst the alternating cold and heat, a torrential downpour began to fall over Liuyun City.

A large number of primordial spirit sparrows fell on the people and into the well water along with the rain.

In the rain, where ordinary people could not see clearly, there were tiny grains of sand. Because of the sand cultivator's control, these grains of sand were first brought close to the cultivators in Liuyun City.

After everyone inside and outside Liuyun City had either come into contact with the rain or the sand, Sha Xiu, along with Shuiya and Zangqiu, withdrew the clouds and rain and flew towards the next city.
