Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 502 The Method of Governance
Li Wushou glanced at the old beggar, about to speak.

A loud shout suddenly came from inside the Three Immortals Pavilion:
"Are you ever going to stop? I can't sit still any longer!"

Li Wushou and the old beggar were startled, then quickly focused their attention on the Three Immortals Pavilion.

Chen Gou'er's body had grown three or four times larger, with six or seven thick legs extending from his enormous frame. He lay on the three-legged square table, his face flushed red, like a spider.

The old beggar with three heads and six arms under the table, and the Taoist spirit of Li Wushou offering incense in front of the incense table, were both in a semi-shutdown state because their minds were elsewhere and they were fully focused on communicating with Wu Zhuangyuan.

For a time, Chen Gou'er relied on his own physical strength to withstand the pressure and suppress the resistance of many of his followers.

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat guilty.

He then quickly focused his mind on the spirit tablet of his true self and forcefully suppressed it.

Chen Gou'er was finally able to catch his breath.

He jumped up from the square table and was about to start cursing at the old beggar and Li Wushou.

The old beggar's three-headed, six-armed body trembled and began to shake rapidly.

Seeing this, Li Wushou quickly shouted:

“Chen Gou’er, without you, the old beggar and I wouldn’t be able to control them at all.”

The repeated interruptions left Chen Gou'er no time to utter a curse, but his anger remained unabated. Seeing this, the old beggar seized the opportunity and echoed, "..."

"Good dog, you're the main force. I'll have Li Wushou give you more of the Sparrow Lord's flesh and blood later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gou'er's expression softened temporarily.

"You know what I mean!"

After letting out a cold snort, the flesh and blood writhed, like a small mountain, and pressed down heavily once again.

Li Wushou and the old beggar exchanged a silent glance, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

After the storm subsided, the Three Immortals Pavilion fell into silence.

The old beggar wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and secretly transmitted his voice to Li Wushou:

"Over the next seven days, I will erase the marks from the Xuanhuang Platform, the Myriad Fire Mirror, the two Sacred Hearts, and the Incense Golden Pearl one by one. You can decide how to use them yourself."

As for the true spirits of Zhu Liuli, Que Zun, and Ci Zun, they will require even longer.

Especially the Sparrow Lord, whose true spirit merges with the Holy Realm, is no less than a complete Venerable.

I'll modify the blue-and-white altar for the little porcelain figure later; you can place it near the source of the River Styx.

After that, Gou'er and I will be in seclusion in the Three Immortals Pavilion for quite some time.

"The decision to take charge of the Sealing Spirit Path rests on your own."

Li Wushou was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded.

Just then, Li Wushou suddenly remembered something and asked the old beggar:
"Can Scholar Wu inform the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple that they can manage things?"
The Sealed Spirit Path is not the same as it used to be; it now controls a significant portion of the Central Domain!

At this point, the old beggar revealed a strange smile. Neither he nor Li Wushou had explained the current situation of Fenglingdao, and he had even secretly concealed it.

When Wu Zhuangyuan informs Yanwu Dazun and Xuanhuang Guanzhu, they will definitely curse him.

"Don't worry, don't underestimate your father-in-law. He has some reputation. Although Yanwu and Xuanhuang won't intervene openly, they must have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

Once they're certain that Mount Bulao won't take any further action in the short term, they'll inevitably consider reclaiming their original territory.

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou was somewhat surprised but also felt it made sense.

He nodded slightly, and began to make plans in his mind.

Seeing this, the old beggar said no more and closed his eyes to suppress his many gains.

As Li Wushou flew towards Sparrow God Mountain, he looked down at the mountains and rivers of Fengling Road.

After Zhongtian Pass, because Zhu Liuli's primordial spirit, the Sparrow, forcibly enslaved the people's minds and spirits to offer incense, the crowd was somewhat listless.

If it weren't for the old beggar forcibly swallowing that spark of incense and interrupting the sacrificial ceremony, these people would all be dead by now.

Even now, their lives have been severely shortened. Zhu Liuli's primordial spirit, the Sparrow, still lingers within the minds of the people, though it is now dormant.

Since he was to take charge of the Sealing Spirit Path, Li Wushou needed to think carefully about how to solve this problem.

The amount of incense offered by so many people is considerable.

We must make good use of it.

After pondering for a long time, Li Wushou's mind was racing.

Based on the conversation between the old beggar and Scholar Wu, Li Wushou had a preliminary plan in mind regarding how to take charge of the Sealing Spirit Path.

With his mind focused on his spiritual tablet, Li Wushou began to notify the talisman masters and everyone in Luofu City to gather at Sparrow God Mountain.

In the battle of Zhongtian Pass, many Nascent Soul cultivators, True Lords, and True Persons of the Fengling Path suffered heavy casualties.

Except for a small number of True Monarchs who had transformed into Deities and were protected by Li Wushou and transferred into his Divine Aperture, most of the others perished.

In the rear, many large cities are vacant in terms of mid- to high-level cultivators, with only a few True Immortals stationed there.

Li Wushou must quickly allocate a large number of manpower to cover many major cities.

The people in Luofu City, together with the dark web controlled by the talisman masters.

With one light and one shadow, Li Wushou was able to quickly bring the Sealed Spirit Path under his control.

After Wu Zhuangyuan and Yanwu, Xuanhuang were informed.

With the support of the flag bearers and Dao Yan, Zi Zhen, and others, the talisman masters' dark network can spread rapidly, and it is not difficult for it to even penetrate deep into the heart of the Central Domain.

In this way, even if Yanwu and Xuanhuang are unwilling and secretly use any means, Li Wushou can react immediately.

Therefore, Li Wushou never worried that taking charge of the Sealing Spirit Path would consume too much of his mind.

His concern was that Yanwu and Xuanhuang would disregard everything and pursue them relentlessly.

Given the current resources of the Three Immortals Pavilion, it would be very difficult to cope with this, so they would have no choice but to abandon the prize they had in their grasp and withdraw from the Sealed Spirit Path.

Li Wushou was naturally unwilling to accept this outcome.

Fortunately, it had the endorsement of Wu Zhuangyuan.

Given some time to process what he has learned, Yanwu and Xuanhuang have nothing to fear.

Li Wushou might even be able to make some plans regarding the Central Region.

With such a great harvest, Li Wushou's morale soared.

However, after Wu Zhuangyuan's reminder, Li Wushou also had some other thoughts.

The great changes in the world are accelerating, and according to the old beggar's estimation, those who have transformed into gods should soon take over the world.

After three thousand years of accumulation, many top Nascent Soul cultivators within the Holy Domains are waiting for an opportunity to ascend to the highest level and establish their own Holy Domain.

For these people, the allure of a vast, unclaimed domain is no less than that of a peerless Dao Fruit.

If news of the Sealed Spirit Path leaks out, this place will inevitably become a hotbed of conflict.

Li Wushou could certainly use this as bait to meet with many Nascent Soul cultivators.

He was still unsure whether he could successfully develop the Divine Aperture after digesting what he had gained.

If it succeeds, that would be the best outcome.

If that fails, then these many top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators with profound backgrounds will be his best resources.

Regardless, let Fenglingdao become the stepping stone for the Three Immortals Pavilion to take off.

This time, Li Wushou did not intend to hide himself anymore. Judging from past events, "He" could not be avoided, so he might as well not hide anymore.

Li Wushou also wanted to see what methods "He" could use.

A great change is imminent, and it is time for the Three Immortals Pavilion to enter the world!
