Chapter 544 The Temple of the High Priest, Holding Up the Sky with One Hand

Familiar names, familiar people.

But Chi Xiu knew in his heart that the gap between the two was like heaven and earth.

He dared not use the title "fellow Daoist" again, and Chi Xiu bowed respectfully, saying:

"Yes, Second Master, I'll return to Wufang City and wait for you!"

Having said that, he retracted his physical body and divided his mind in two. One part stayed by Li Wushou's side, while the other part returned to his destiny star and descended once more to the foot of the low mountain south of Wufang City to prepare for the reception.

The next moment, it felt as if the world had turned upside down.

When his mind cleared again, he discovered that Li Wushou had already returned to Wufang City with him.

How far is the Far East Continent from the Transformation Continent?
He originally thought that, having the advantage of divine power, he would be able to return to the Five Directions faster than Li Wushou.

Unexpectedly, before his mind could descend from the Destiny Star, his mind, which he had left in the Far East Continent, was taken back to Wufang City by Li Wushou.

This seems to be even stronger than the rumored destruction of the Venerable One's clone?
Judging from Chi Xiu's background in the True God Kingdom of the Seventh Heaven, his ability to traverse the void is already worthy of being called a Venerable!

Could it be?

Chi Xiu was both surprised and delighted.

Li Wushou ignored Chi Xiu and instead looked around the low hill with great interest.

The low hills south of the city have changed dramatically.

The low hills that were once barren and desolate due to the suffering caused by the five senses have now been covered with lush trees and blooming flowers.

However, the layout of the hill remained unchanged; Niu Dan's shanty and the thatched cottage of Sanxian Pavilion remained the same.

The house was extremely clean, indicating that it was regularly maintained.

But those dozens of neighboring households all moved to the foot of the low hill.

A new temple has been built at the foot of the once barren hill.

Many new houses were also built around the temple, where the Bull Egg family and other neighbors were settled.

He lowered his gaze and surveyed the temple.

Inside the main hall stood five statues of gods.

Li Wushou was quite familiar with all five statues.

The person at the head of the left was none other than Chi Xiu, who had three heads and six arms and exuded an air of majesty.

Below it stands Mu Tong, the City God of Wangxian City, whom we haven't seen for a long time.

On the right side were two other people. The one at the head of the table was Xiao Panshan, the current City God of Wufang City, and the one below him was the Martial God Official, who had been shrouded in mystery for a long time.

Li Wushou still vividly remembered the Martial God's methods of devouring the heavens, the earth, and the gods.

It seems that this martial priest's Hundred Ghosts Domain has improved even further after some time apart?

It wasn't in vain that he had previously invited him and Mu Tong to study at the Three Immortals Pavilion.

With the protection of the Three Immortals Hall, the opponent's mind became clearer and clearer. After this influence was removed, the terrifying power of the opponent's Hundred Ghosts Domain gradually became apparent.

At first glance, his combat strength is far superior to Xiao Panshan's.

The concept behind this method is quite interesting!
However, the martial god's cultivation in the divine path is still too low.

However, the fact that this Martial God Official was able to research and develop such a method on his own shows that he is indeed a rare talent.

Apart from these four people, the statue in the center is himself.

Dressed in a blue robe, with a gentle expression and a smile, he looked down at the main hall, looking exactly the same as when he was in Wufang City.

No wonder he sensed an extremely pure incense offering at the foot of the low mountain when he was about to descend upon Wufang City.

Even the many flesh and blood trees he scattered throughout the mysterious mist realm, and the incense that gathered there, were subtly connected to this temple.

When did such a temple come to be built here?

Upon closer inspection of the plaque outside the temple, Li Wushou discovered that it bore four large, shining characters: "Temple of the Great Priest."

Just then, the sound of bells rang out from outside the main hall.

Li Erniu, dressed in a red sacrificial robe, stood next to the large bell.

After striking the door three times, his son, Li Hu, focused his energy in his dantian, causing his blood and qi to surge. As he opened his mouth, a surge of yin energy erupted, and he shouted loudly:
"Open the temple, offer incense!"

The sound was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the temple.

The much-grown-up Niu Dan, along with a few playmates, suddenly opened the temple gates.

Outside the main gate, the waiting pilgrims filed in and entered the temple in an orderly fashion.

A dozen or so familiar faces were moving about inside the temple, maintaining order.

These people were some of the neighbors who had moved from the low hill to the area around the temple.

In an instant, the incense outside the main hall was burning brightly, and the number of worshippers was far more than just the people of Wufang City.

Some of them were originally from the mysterious fog surrounding the Five Directions City.

Now, because Li Wushou's flesh and blood tree is spread throughout Huazhou, nourished by the blood energy, the misty patterns between the eyebrows of these strange mist people have long since dissipated, making them no different from ordinary people.

The two blend together very well.

There were also many people from other cities.

Because of their admiration for Li Wushou's personal reputation, they traveled thousands of miles to Wufang City to pay homage to the place where this legendary high priest was raised.

Most of these people brought their younger relatives, and after devoutly offering incense, they gathered around a group of neighbors from Aishan. These neighbors, in turn, recounted various versions of Li Wushou's legendary story as if they were reciting a familiar tale.

Hearing all these stories, even Li Wushou, one of the parties involved, couldn't help but be somewhat stunned.

He thought his own experience was extraordinary enough, but compared to the stories of his neighbors, Li Wushou realized that he was still too conservative.

With a light cough, Li Wushou composed himself.

Chi Xiu, who had finally calmed down, stepped forward and introduced:

"This temple was built some time ago under the supervision of the City God Xiao, in response to the petitions of the people from all directions. Now it is usually managed by Li Erniu and his son, and maintained by the people of Aishan."

During this time, the Second Master's reputation spread to Huazhou, which is why so many pilgrims came to visit him.

The Second Master has been in seclusion for many days, and I haven't had a chance to inform him yet.

Li Wushou nodded slightly, showing no particular opinion.

These are minor matters; Chi Xiu can handle them!

Just then, a buzzing sound echoed within the hall, and a figure wearing wings pointing upwards emerged from the statue on the upper right. Before even stopping, the figure spoke:
"Chi Tianshen, what about the Far East Continent?"

Xiao Panshan froze on the spot after only getting halfway through his question.

Looking at the figure in the green robe standing in front of Chi Xiu with his back to him, Xiao Panshan was completely astonished.

Li Wushou turned around, looked at Xiao Panshan, a smile on his lips, and said softly:
"City God Xiao, it's been a long time!"

Xiao Panshan was shocked and exclaimed:
"Great God... Ah, no! Xiao Panshan pays respects to the Venerable Lord of the Sealing Spirit Path!"

He was about to kneel down when he started to do so, but as soon as he bent down, he froze in place and could no longer kneel.

Li Wushou lifted Xiao Panshan up and laughed:
"Lord Xiao, there's no need for such formality between us."

Xiao Panshan was deeply moved upon hearing this.

The High Priest is now so noble, yet he still cherishes the bond between the two of them; how could this not stir feelings of emotion within him?

But for some reason, even though the High Priest's attitude remained unchanged and he did not exude any aura, Xiao Panshan still felt a pressure when he looked at the High Priest.

This made him still somewhat cautious and apprehensive, even though he wanted to get closer to Li Wushou.

Seeing this, Li Wushou felt a pang of regret.

This time, upon returning to the outer sea, he handed over all ten continents except Huazhou to Huang Shigong and others, and moved them away from their original sea areas.

Having not returned to Huazhou for a long time, Li Wushou also wanted to see Huazhou and meet his old friends before the world.

This allows one's busy mind to find a moment of peace.

Upon meeting, Li Wushou could sense the desire of both Chi Xiu and Xiao Panshan to get closer, but the invisible pressure made them both quite uncomfortable.

Even though they tried to control themselves, the two of them still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This wasn't something Li Wushou could achieve simply by adopting a certain attitude and concealing his aura; it was the prestige he held over the Sealing Spirit Path that had placed heavy shackles on the minds of the two of them.

Furthermore, his cultivation had greatly increased, and the invisible pressure emanating from him was immense!
In fact, it wasn't just the two of them; even Jin Chuan showed the same caution and prudence when facing him.

Is this the difference between immortals and mortals?

This dampened his desire to meet Li Erniu and the others.

Moreover, Chi Xiu and Xiao Panshan made good arrangements for them.

He could tell that Li Erniu and his son were living well now, and Hu Zi's mother was also in good health, even looking younger than when he last saw her, obviously nourished by the Blood and Flesh Elixir.

If that's the case, there's no need to add unnecessary pressure to them!
So he spoke to Chi Xiu and Xiao Panshan:

"With a great change imminent, Huazhou is still too close to the Misty Sea. This time, I have been invited by the Great Venerable Zhenhai to move Huazhou and the other eleven outer sea continents to a near-shore area a thousand miles away from Fubo Domain."

From this day forward, the eleven continents of the outer sea will be connected with the numerous islands in the southern sea area of ​​the Sealed Spirit Path, sharing incense offerings and jointly resisting the invasion of the eerie mist.

Xiao Panshan's expression brightened, and he quickly replied:

"This is a good thing. I will inform the people to make preparations immediately. With your current reputation, the people will surely cooperate and support you."

Li Wushou waved his hand and laughed:

"No need to prepare, it's already being moved."

As they were speaking, the sky above them darkened.

Xiao Panshan still couldn't figure out how to relocate if the people didn't pack their belongings.
Seeing this, Chi Xiu pointed a finger at Xiao Panshan's brow, and Xiao Panshan's mind entered Chi Xiu's life star, and the two looked down at Huazhou.

Outside Huazhou, a figure dressed entirely in golden robes stood, gently raising his hand towards Huazhou. Then, a large hand descended from the clouds, reaching deep into the outer sea of ​​Huazhou.

Then, with a sudden lift, Huazhou was already dragged into the palm of the large hand.

Immediately afterwards, Huazhou followed the giant hand and walked towards the Fubo Domain.

The light and shadow flashed by, and Xiao Panshan's mind returned to normal.

He could not sense any turbulence in the Five Directions City; only the clouds in the sky were constantly moving, which undoubtedly told him that what he had just witnessed was not an illusion.

Should we move it like this?

Looking at the figure in the green robe in front of him again, Xiao Panshan felt even greater awe.

Li Wushou slowly turned around and said softly:

“It will take a while to move away from Eleven Continents. I’ll go back to the low mountain to take a look first.”
