Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"And Pei Xi's ability to devour his sisters is proof of all of the above!"

When Shen Xingzhuo said those words, the throbbing pain in her eyes was relieved for a second.

"It seems my guess was right after all..."

She let out a deep sigh and continued to explain her reasoning to everyone.

"In my Xuanmen sect, there is a saying that the ultimate goal of cultivation is to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness."

"Only those who possess essence, energy, and spirit can become human beings."

"The Taiyin Refinement Formation is originally a method for guiding the dead. However, when combined into a single infant, it can embark on the path of rebirth; when combined into resentment, it transforms into a vengeful ghost."

"Therefore, whether this kind of magic is good or evil does not lie in the magic itself, but in the goodness or evil of the heart of the user."

As Shen Xingzhuo spoke, he used his Qi-detecting technique to locate Pei Xi's position.

She slowly faced it, formed a mudra with her hands, and performed the mudra of the Nine Syllable Mantra.

"all!"

As Shen Xingzhuo shouted, ripples suddenly spread across Pei Xi's direction, just like the surface of water.

Until the image unfolds, from the perspective of the person viewing the sky.

Pei Xi's outline gradually became clear, and then exploded like fireworks in an instant.

The skin and flesh receded, revealing the white bones.

The souls within Pei Xi's body appeared one by one before everyone's eyes.

Those were the souls of baby girls.

Someone noticed something was wrong.

Wait a minute? Was that Pei Xi just now?

[I noticed it too! Isn't it a boy? Why are all the souls inside him female infants?]

[Hiss... How scary!]

Is this...is this really happening?

[Have you guys noticed that Pei Xi's current location is the same spot where that strange guy was chasing Sister Shen earlier?]

It's true! I wonder if Sister Shen guessed it? It seems we haven't had a chance to communicate anymore.

【Yes, definitely!】

The comments section seemed to have discovered a huge bombshell, with people wildly speculating about Pei Xi's identity.

Meanwhile, Shen Xingzhuo, amidst the ghost stories, gently curled the corners of her lips.

The time has come.

She raised her head slightly and said confidently:

"Back then, Pei Shiquan colluded with that old Taoist priest and must have obtained the 'Taiyin Refinement' technique from him. However, he used it to forcibly send the 'ghost fetus' into Pei Yin's womb."

"A living person carrying a demonic seed... Ha, Pei Yin survived not because she was lucky!"

The light from the hand seals in her hands shone even brighter.

The baby girl's soul inside Pei Xi became clearer.

They each wrapped their tiny arms around each other's small bodies, forming an indestructible soul cluster.

"Pei Shiquan created a boy with his will, Pei Xi. But he fundamentally overlooked one thing—a fake is a fake, and his gender means he can never become Nuwa!"

"Therefore, given an opportunity to retaliate, Pei Xi will not hesitate to form an alliance with her mother."

Shen Xingzhuo sighed softly, "That's why Pei Xi would 'betray' us."

"Clang—"

A loud bang erupted in the ancestral hall.

What are you doing?!

It was only then that the ghost story noticed Shen Xingzhuo's subtle actions.

The blood beneath her feet intertwined and spread into a giant net!

When she casts the incantation of the Nine True Words, her spiritual energy can be transmitted through this net to a certain place without anyone noticing!

At this moment, Shen Xingzhuo was attacking the incense burner beneath the statue.

The incense ash inside was scattered all over the ground.

The ashes refracted a rainbow of colors in the air, illuminating the original black dust particles and making them impossible to hide.

Shen Xingzhuo completely triggered the three ancestral hall rules—

Fresh ash must be added to the incense burner daily; never disturb the old, stale ash at the very bottom.

The ancestral hall must be kept clean.

Offer your children to the idol! One a day, and it will be effective...

What will it become?

Did this pave the way for Pei Shiquan's vicious path of exploiting those who had no descendants?

Shen Xingzhu scoffed.

He unleashed three Heaven and Earth Purification Talismans.

"May the mighty gods of the eight directions grant me my natural state! May all evil and filth vanish, and may the Dao's vital energy endure forever—"

"You are free..."
