He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

The Mountain God Temple is located deep within Xiaochongshan Mountain. It was the original Mountain God Temple in Xiaochongshan Mountain. However, as Xiaochongshan Mountain expanded, Zhang Zhengyi moved the Mountain God Temple here due to the importance of the first Dharma Body.

Normally, only spirits and monsters are allowed to offer incense, and he often guards this place to protect his Dharma body and prevent any villains from getting close.

However, since advancing to the level of supernatural powers, all the great paths have returned to him. There are no longer any Dharma bodies or other things that can additionally increase his cultivation. At this stage, the blessings from incense, divine power, and vows are not very helpful to him anymore.

To be precise, cultivators at this stage no longer need so much incense, divine power, and vows.

To put it bluntly, the divine path has been severed. Reaching the level of supernatural powers with the help of incense and divine power is already the limit; the path beyond that requires the gods to explore on their own.

But has the path to godhood through incense offerings truly been severed? Zhang Zhengyi didn't believe it; he was convinced that no deity in the world would believe such nonsense.

It's impossible for the divine path to be severed. Zhang Zhengyi believes that it's simply that no deity possesses the subsequent cultivation methods and is unable to properly transform the incense and divine power into supernatural abilities, which is why this series of problems have occurred.

As for how to solve it, he had no idea.

He firmly believes that the path is still there; they just haven't found the right way.

Perhaps these methods are hidden in some ancient ruins.

If Xu Yi heard these ideas, he would definitely agree. The road ahead is not blocked at all. As for the so-called cultivation techniques relying on incense offerings, Xu Yi does have a cultivation manual, but it has not been completed yet. It only introduces a part of the cultivation methods for certain stages and does not include the supernatural power realm.

Xu Yi actually wanted to collect some cultivation techniques, but the current situation was really not optimistic. If he wanted to find more demonic beasts, he had to find Yan Chixia first and enter the Worry-Free Realm together.

The meaning of the "Heart-Listening Mirror" is that there are quite a few demonic beasts in the Worry-Free Realm, and then one can obtain more supernatural powers.

Xu Yi and Xin Jing arrived together, followed by the mooing of an old ox.

Zhang Zheng, who was nurturing Liang Jingyuan's spirit, rushed out after hearing the commotion.

Since he entered the realm of supernatural powers, his perception has become increasingly sharp. Although he still doesn't perceive much of Xu Yi's movements, he can now fully sense the Heart Mirror beside Xu Yi.

So much so that he seemed to be able to sense Old Niu's condition.

Xin Jing and Lao Niu came together, so Xu Yi must have been with them as well. That's why he rushed out. The three of them traveling together, is there any explanation for this?

Zhang Zhengyi looked at the two men with a puzzled expression. He seemed to have some guesses in his mind, but he didn't want to say them out loud. He cautiously asked, "Sir, is there something you need? Have you been feeling uncomfortable staying in Xiaochongshan lately?"

Zhang Zhengyi held Xu Yi in high esteem, not only as a friend, but also because Xu Yi had saved his life. If it weren't for Xu Yi, these few calamities alone would have been enough to kill him hundreds of times over.

Therefore, Xu Yi is a very special person to Zhang Zhengyi. He has the carefree attitude of wanting to treat Xu Yi as a friend, but Xu Yi's actions and cultivation level also make him have some concerns.

Even if Xu Yi had put it more equally, Zhang Zhengyi still wouldn't have thought so.

This is also why Zhang Zhengyi speaks so cautiously.

"Brother Zhang, it's not what you're saying. It's just that I have an appointment with a friend, and now I'm going to keep it with Xin Jing."

Xu Yi didn't make his point very clear; in his view, Zhang Zhengyi didn't need to know that much.

This is between him and Yan Chixia; Zhang Zhengyi doesn't need to know too much.

"It might take a little longer this time. After this agreement is fulfilled, Senior Xu and I will need to go north again. Senior Xu also promised me something."

Xin Jing also chimed in, saying that he felt it was necessary to let Zhang Zhengyi know that this departure might be quite long.

"After you leave this time... will you come back?" After hearing what the two of them said, Zhang Zhengyi was also unsure. He didn't know how to ask, whether he should ask, or if he could ask.

Although Xu Yi and Xin Jing did not stay here for long, the three of them had formed a friendship. This world is so vast that once someone leaves, they may never be able to return.

People always have many things to do. Zhang Zhengyi did not believe that Xu Yi could live in seclusion here forever. It was unrealistic. Xu Yi was a master of the Five Elements, and he probably still had many secrets. It was unrealistic to say that he could stay here forever.

This was Zhang Zhengyi's first thought when he learned that Xu Yi was a master of the Five Elements Convergence; such a person would not stay in the same place for so long.

This is also a problem with Zhang Zhengyi's perception. In his view, cultivators who have achieved the Five Qi Gathering are already top figures in the world, and their every move may affect the changes in the world.

Just like this incident, this agreement is definitely not a simple one; it may very well affect the overall situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As for agreeing to Xin Jing's request, although he didn't know why Xu Yi had any connection with Xin Jing, based on his current understanding, the only thing Zhang Zhengyi could think of was helping Xin Jing rebuild her body; that was the only thing he could think of.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, you're being too polite. I promised a friend I'd go with him to slay a demon, it's nothing more than that."

Xu Yi seemed to see through Zhang Zhengyi's worries, so he told him a little about his affair with Yan Chixia. Xu Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with telling him this part.

It's just a matter of going together to slay demons; it's not a secret. Besides, if we really wipe out the Worry-Free Realm, the news will probably spread very quickly.

"What Senior Xu promised me wasn't anything he couldn't say, it was just to escort me home," Xin Jing added from the side, perhaps seeing that Xu Yi had made things a little clearer.

"So that's how it is!" Zhang Zhengyi was a little embarrassed. His previous thought was a bit wrong, which made him feel ashamed. He had been overthinking the other person's thoughts.

"Good, it's good that he's back." Zhang Zhengyi was like that. Ever since he lost Liang Jing, he had become increasingly worried about these two of his few remaining friends.

"Is there too much danger here?" Zhang Zhengyi was still somewhat worried.

"Heh, it's just a matter of flipping your hand."

Xu Yi waved his hand, very confidently saying, "With the sect leader of a great immortal mountain, plus my Five Qi Gathering, is it really such a big deal to sweep through a Worry-Free Realm?"
