Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 505 Bestowing the Dao and Sealing the Spirit

They lifted up Huang Shigong.

Li Wushou pointed to the Tree Goddess and Paper Goddess beside him and introduced them:
"This is the Tree Goddess of the Burial Soul Forest in the Three Immortals Pavilion, and this is the Paper Goddess, the Abbot of the White Paper Taoist Temple in the Three Immortals Pavilion. The three of you should get to know each other."

Huang Shigong naturally dared not be negligent and stepped forward to greet them one by one.

The Tree Goddess and the Paper Goddess naturally dared to be arrogant; it was obvious to everyone that this was the Second Master's new favorite.

Moreover, the other party possesses Daoist principles and can assist the Second Master in reaching the pinnacle of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Value is the key to success at Sanxian Pavilion!
This is a principle that both the Tree Goddess and the Paper Goddess agree on.

Li Wushou watched the three exchange pleasantries, but his mind was preoccupied with something else.

With several transformations in his strength, especially after the formation of his Daoist spiritual body, Li Wushou's Dao and Dharma experienced a leapfrog development.

The Paper Goddess and Master Xuan Yang's group have provided Li Wushou with very little help.

Even the Tree Goddess, who later possessed all five elements, was no longer very effective.

Li Wushou had been thinking about how to settle these people.

Before, I had no fixed abode, and I was just idling around anyway.

Now that they've taken over such a vast territory of the Sealed Spirit Path, it would be a waste for these people to just sit idle.

Even if Li Wushou has no objection to this, they themselves will feel uneasy.

This is not something that can be resolved with a few words of comfort from him.

During this time, Master Xuan Yang stayed in the Yin-Yang Dojo and almost became withdrawn.

This self-isolation becomes even more pronounced, especially after a talisman master advances to the Nascent Soul stage.

After much deliberation, Li Wushou decided to take advantage of this opportunity to seal the spirit of Huang Shigong and perform a major sealing within the divine aperture!

Without hesitation, Li Wushou got to work.

The Yin-Yang stone carvings burst through the air and hovered outside Xuanhuang Peak.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Wushou grabbed the Yin-Yang stone carving and pulled Xuan Yang Shangren, who was meditating in the temple, out of the temple.

With a flick of his palm, he pressed down, shoving the still-dazed Xuan Yang Shangren directly into the ground.

The method of sealing spirits then began with a murmur.

Master Xuan Yang is different from the Tree Goddess and the Paper Goddess; he was not sealed by Li Wushou.

Previously, he only relied on the Divine Control Talisman to manipulate it. Later, because Xuan Yang Shangren failed to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and suffered great damage to his soul and body, Li Wushou also replenished some of his flesh and blood and merged it into the other party's body.

On the one hand, it gave him a more secure control over Xuan Yang; on the other hand, it replenished the foundation of his soul and body.

After this period of nurturing, although it has not yet crossed the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage, its foundation has been greatly restored.

His two long eyebrows, one black and one white, fluttered in the wind, making him look like a young man in his thirties, radiating vitality.

As Li Wushou chanted the sealing technique, the Yin-Yang Daoist energy began to flow into Xuan Yang Shangren's body, and the Yin-Yang Daoist field suspended in mid-air also began to devour the Daoist energy.

Within it, Yin and Yang evolved, and a huge Tai Chi phantom emerged, enveloping Master Xuan Yang and the Tai Chi Daoist Temple.

Upon seeing this, the Tree Goddess, Huang Shigong, and the Paper Goddess stopped their pleasantries and looked at Master Xuanyang.

He felt even more awe and respect for Li Wushou's power.

With every gesture, he imparts wisdom to others.

This scene is like something out of a fairy tale!

Li Wushou's expression was solemn as he formed hand seals. The earth where Xuan Yang Shangren was planted rumbled continuously, and a new mountain peak rose from the ground.

As the Yin-Yang Daoist principles were infused, the mountain peak broke through the clouds in the blink of an eye, becoming only slightly shorter than the Xuanhuang Peak beside it.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou's brow furrowed.

Looking down at the newly risen mountain peak, he spoke loudly, sealing his spirit:

"I hereby appoint Xuan Yang as the Yin-Yang Master of the Three Immortals Hall, to govern Yin and Yang and to perfect the Yin-Yang method."

Just like the previous sealing of the spirit of Huang Shigong, this sound first spread throughout the Divine Aperture World, causing the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth to boil, and then spread out of the Divine Aperture World and resounded throughout the Three Immortal Mountains.

Jin Peng and the others were stunned once again.

Has yet another person been sealed away by the Second Master?

But who is this Master Xuanyang?
The talisman master, of course, knew Xuan Yang. Upon hearing this, he seemed to realize something and murmured:

"It's finally Xuan Yang's turn!"

Although he was happy for Xuan Yang, he was also envious. The Second Master's sealing of the spirit was a meteoric rise, and he was also jealous.

However, he quickly felt relieved. If Xuan Yang could be valued by the Second Master, as long as he did his best to handle the matter of sealing the spirit path, why should he be afraid of not being able to seal the spirit?
Within the Divine Aperture World, as Li Wushou's voice of sealing the spirit gradually faded away.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew out from within the low mountain, heading straight for the mountain peak where Master Xuan Yang was located.

It grew from small to large, growing taller with the wind, and suddenly transformed into a stone tablet, landing on the mountain peak beneath Master Xuanyang.

The three large characters "Yin Yang Dao" on the stone tablet shine brightly, embodying the essence of Yin Yang Dao.

The mountain peak suddenly trembled, and then the Yin-Yang symbol retracted into its interior.

A familiar vein spreads through the mountain.

Based on the Taiji Dao Jing, Li Wushou imitated the method of imprinting Yin-Yang meridians into his own body and directly imprinted Taiji Yin-Yang onto Yin-Yang Mountain and Xuan Yang Shangren's body.

Master Xuan Yang's body trembled, his Yin and Yang bodies became perfectly integrated, and his affinity with Yin and Yang was further enhanced.

At the same time, the Yin and Yang of the Tai Chi Daoist field above evolved, and heaven and earth were initially separated.

A complete Dharma realm took shape, flashed through the void, and landed between Master Xuan Yang's eyebrows.

Xuan Yang Shangren’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, his pupils were black and white, and the Yin-Yang Dao bubble that was originally torn from the Paper Goddess rose up without wind and stepped out from Yin-Yang Mountain.

He stood in front of Li Wushou and bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you, Second Master, for your life-saving grace. I, Xuan Yang, could never repay you even if I were to die!"

Li Wushou waved his sleeve and lifted Xuan Yang Shangren up, looking him over from head to toe.

In terms of cultivation level, Master Xuanyang is roughly at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, due to his mastery of Li Wushou's Yin-Yang Daoist Rhyme, his combat strength should be barely enough to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the outside world, but it is not sustainable.

If one day Zhao's comprehension of the Daoist arts advances further, or if Li Wushou makes a further advancement, then it is not impossible for him to leap to become a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even now, within Li Wushou's divine aperture world, Xuan Yang Shangren's combat power should be infinitely close to that of Dao Yan and his ilk.

Nodding slightly, Li Wushou smiled and praised:
"Not bad!"

"Thank you, Second Master!" Xuan Yang was extremely excited. Having lived two lives, he thought he was going to turn into withered bones, but he never expected to achieve the God Transformation realm one day.

This is much better than he expected!

He bent down to bow again, but Li Wushou waved his hand to interrupt him.

Li Wushou turned back to look at the graceful paper goddess with her ink-black body, and said softly:
"Get ready, it's your turn!"

Even so, the Paper Goddess was not given time to prepare.

With a thought, the white paper Taoist temple outside the Three Immortals Hall on the low mountain rose from the ground and landed on the platform halfway up the mountain.

The dilapidated shack was transformed into a blank Taoist temple the moment it was laid to the ground.

Its appearance was exactly the same as the one the Paper Goddess had previously created in Five Directions City, only it was somewhat rough and crooked.

Today, Li Wushou's control over the forces within Aishan is vastly different from what it used to be.

Building a Taoist temple would be relatively easy for him if the appearance wasn't a concern.

I didn't do it before not only because I was lazy, but also because my skills were not good enough and I didn't want to embarrass myself.

Looking at the anxious paper goddess, Li Wushou's mind was in turmoil.

The Paper Goddess was inherently too weak. Even though Li Wushou later incorporated the Painter's Ink into her body to improve her somewhat, it was still difficult for Li Wushou to help her ascend to the heavens in one step.

However, he also had his own plans regarding the Paper Goddess.

Shinto is still the most suitable for her!

With a thought, the Heavenly Star Array that had been around his neck fell around the white paper Taoist temple.

The power of the natal star rose up and formed a magic array.

The paper goddess sits inside, where one can peacefully condense the power of incense.

She couldn't accept the offerings from the Three Immortals Pavilion, but she still had plenty of offerings from the Sealed Spirit Path.

Sparrows chirped everywhere, and numerous divine sparrow spirits from the Divine Aperture World descended outside the White Paper Taoist Temple, breathing incense and working in conjunction with the Heavenly Gang Star Array to help the Paper Goddess forge her own destiny star.

In addition, Li Wushou also plans to share some of the incense offerings for the subsequent sealing of the spirit path with the Paper Goddess.

Even considering the current situation, with the foundation that Li Wushou forged for the Paper Goddess, once the Paper Goddess has completed her destiny star, it shouldn't be difficult for her to enter the Fourth Heaven in one fell swoop.

The fifth level is worth a shot, but the Paper Goddess of the sixth level is probably still lacking in skill.

If we integrate the incense offerings of the Sealed Spirit Path, and after a period of cultivation, reaching the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm should not be a dream.

However, Li Wushou had not yet decided which celestial realm to place the Paper Goddess's destiny star.

But this doesn't stop him from helping the Paper Goddess lay a solid foundation first.

Gazing at the paper goddess, Li Wushou encouraged her loudly:

"The paper Guanyin was then appointed as the abbot of the White Paper Taoist Temple, overseeing many deities of the Fengling Taoist Temple."

The paper goddess was taken aback and quickly knelt down.

She is not as good as Huang Shigong, nor as good as Xuan Yang, nor even as good as the Tree Goddess.

But the second master did not give up on her!
This deeply moved her.

"Thank you, Second Master. Paper Guanyin will certainly live up to your expectations."

The moment the words were spoken, Chen Gou'er's admonition resonated in the mind of the Paper Goddess.

"Little paper figure, you'd better hide the things I put in the White Paper Taoist Temple well for me."

The paper goddess felt a surge of warmth in her heart and nodded even more vigorously.

Li Wushou was speechless upon seeing this.

Without further ado, he pointed at the low hill again.

The Burial Forest rises abruptly from the ground, right next to the White Paper Taoist Temple, also nestled halfway up the mountain.

The five elements surged, and the five elements gathered in the Burial Soul Forest, surrounding the five-element tree in the center, which was the incarnation of the Tree Goddess.

Li Wushou gazed at the Tree Goddess and spoke again:
"I hereby appoint the Tree Goddess as the Five Elements Master of the Burial Forest of the Three Immortals Pavilion, to govern the Five Elements and complete my Five Elements Laws."

The five elements and the power of the realms converged simultaneously on the Five Elements Tree, and the Five Elements Dharma Realm flashed through the tree.

The Tree Goddess trembled, and the five elements of Daoist energy rose up.

"I thank you, Second Master, for bestowing upon me the knowledge."

Li Wushou nodded slightly, and a streak of fiery light flew out from the low hill and hung on the branch of the Five Elements Tree.

"This is the Myriad Fire Mirror of the Great Venerable Yanwu. The mark has been washed away by the Grand Master and it is temporarily entrusted to you."

The heavens and earth roared incessantly as the great sealing of spirits came to an end.

Li Wushou gazed at the gradually calming divine world, and suddenly a certain enlightenment came to his mind.

From an external perspective, this grand sealing of spirits can be seen as bestowing blessings and providing a safe haven for the Tree Goddess and others.

Internally, Li Wushou also reviewed his own principles.

With the end of the sealing of the spirit, Li Wushou's various Daoist auras were also assigned to their respective bearers.

These people not only received the blessing of Li Wushou's Daoist aura, but also took on the responsibility of strengthening Li Wushou's Daoist teachings.

The stronger they are, the stronger Li Wushou becomes.

The stronger Li Wushou becomes, the stronger they will become if they are willing to give back to him.

This can be considered as complementing each other.

This made Li Wushou think that if he were to master other Daoist principles in the future and didn't have much time to cultivate them, he could find a suitable person to seal his spirit and let him cultivate to benefit himself.

In this way, I will definitely be able to repair it faster.

Although Li Wushou's Daoist spiritual body can devour and simulate Daoist essence, he still needs to explore the changes and methods of Daoist essence himself.

This method of sealing spirits can also save Li Wushou a lot of mental energy.

Looking around at the world of divine apertures, Li Wushou calmed down.

This matter has finally come to an end.

The next step is to digest the gains from last time and officially take over the Sealed Spirit Path.

Li Wushou was also extremely looking forward to it!
