Chapter 318 [Spirit Stealing] and [Spirit Praying]
Where on earth do you come from, Brother Dao?
Although this was not explicitly stated, several fellow Taoists were very curious about it, and he was no exception.
But soon, he shook his head and chuckled: "When the time comes, Brother Dao will naturally speak."
and many more!
Could it be that he has told others about it?!
emm...
Not really, not at all. At most I can talk to Sword Master about it.
He immediately swung his sleeves, and his immortal body became vast and boundless again. The yin-yang fish behind his head rotated, and infinite chaotic energy spontaneously lingered.
It is actually much higher than the world of Tongxuan level!
The immortal body supported the sky and the ground, and he stepped forward amid the surging chaotic aura.
Now that we have reached the limit of the repulsive force of the Taixuan Realm, we must test the extent of this limit before we can think of ways to deal with it.
But it’s just one step forward!
Hong Zun only felt that there was an insurmountable high wall in front of him, which was so thick and boundless that even if his immortal body was fully extended, it would seem extremely small in comparison.
Boom!
Heavy pressure collapsed, and an irresistible force came towards us!
All his great skills were suppressed in a flash, as if he had returned to the time when he faced the repulsive force of the Taixuan Realm.
Hong Zun was totally unable to bear it and flew backwards, crashing into the world of Tongxuan energy level.
But after moving away, the feeling of being suppressed also disappeared, and the vast and boundless immortal body suddenly returned to the size of an ordinary person, and the terrifying size also shrank to the extreme in an instant.
At their level, the size of the body can be reduced as desired.
If not, this world of Tongxuan energy level cannot compare to the Beast God Realm, and simply cannot withstand the entry of a fully expanded True Immortal.
Call ~
Along with the world's instinctive breathing, Hong Zun directly followed the rolling chaotic aura into the realm, and the infinite light he emitted did not tremble at all.
After all, Hongzun, who has shrunk his size, is only the size of an ordinary human, and is naturally insignificant compared to the entire world.
……
……
Boom!
The pitch-black sky was torn apart by lightning, and the sky and the earth were filled with a white glow.
The violent wind howled and poured in through the gaps between the broken windows and doors, mixed with a few drops of rain, adding a bit of chill to the dilapidated temple.
In the light of lightning, one could vaguely see the statue on the altar holding a mace in one hand, with eyes wide open and a majestic look.
But his body was covered with dust, and even the incense burner on the altar was knocked over, with ashes scattered all over the floor and a few pieces of incense residue scattered everywhere.
Zhiqa~!
A hoarse and piercing voice was heard, and the gate of the dilapidated temple opened. An old man was leading a thin little girl, and a half-grown boy followed behind him.
The three of them were all wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats, and water drops kept dripping down.
Perhaps because of the biting cold wind outside, the girl and the boy looked pale, but the old man's face was still rosy.
"Let's light the fire first."
The old man took off his straw hat and his raincoat and hung them aside, revealing a wide Taoist robe.
What is surprising is that although it was raining heavily outside the temple, his clothes were not stained with any moisture.
The boy and the girl also took off their straw hats and raincoats, and there were some traces of moisture on their bodies, but they still went to the corner to fetch some dry firewood, took out a few wet flints, and started a fire with the straw.
As the fire lit up, the entire dilapidated temple seemed to become much warmer.
The old Taoist picked up the incense burner on the ground, straightened the altar, swept away the dust, and then bowed to the statue.
The boy and the girl squatting by the fire watched this scene curiously.
Zhiqa~!
There was another sound, and the girl, the boy, and the old man all looked towards the temple gate.
Then the temple door opened again, and cold wind mixed with rain poured in.
The man was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, with black and white hair. He didn't seem to be wearing any rain protection equipment, but he was not even a bit wet.
"It's raining heavily outside the temple. I'd like to take shelter here. Sorry to bother you guys."
"..." The old Taoist stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Your Excellency is too polite. We are both in an emergency, so there is no need to do this."
The Taoist smiled, then closed the temple door and strode in.
The girl and the boy nervously moved aside.
The Taoist didn't hesitate and walked up to the fire, but didn't squat. Instead, he looked ahead at the statue that looked a little ferocious in the firelight.
Boom!
He didn't look away until the lightning dyed the sky and earth white again.
Then he took out a few silver, square objects with exquisite patterns on them from his sleeves.
The attention of the little girl and the boy was attracted, and even the old Taoist couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Everyone please."
The Taoist handed the object in his hand forward. Under the light of the fire, four large square characters were quite conspicuous - compressed biscuits.
There is another line of small words below it:
Origin: Taishang Daozong.
This Taoist is naturally Hong Zun.
After entering the realm, he thought that his younger sister, Sword Master and Taoist brother would take a while to arrive, so he began to wander around in this world.
The three people in front of him were the first humans he met in this world. Emm...
How about a small gift?
Forget it, forget it, it’s just what Taoist brothers do when they meet.
"What is this?" The girl's clear voice rang out.
But he quickly reacted and looked at the old Taoist in panic.
The old Taoist was not annoyed, but just smiled helplessly.
"This... is a kind of dry food, but it tastes okay."
Hongzun tore open the package.
Suddenly, rich spiritual energy spread out, and the old Taoist's originally nonchalant expression paused, and his eyes became solemn.
"The master has come to visit my three disciples. I wonder what you can teach me?"
"It's just a matter of chance."
Hong Zun threw the remaining compressed biscuits in his hand to the three people, and took a bite of the one that had already been opened.
The sound sounded very crisp, making the two half-grown children swallow their saliva.
But they didn't dare to eat unless the Taoist priest gave the order.
Hong Zun didn't care about that and finished a piece of compressed biscuit in just a few bites.
The old Taoist still looked solemn: "Are you practicing the 'Spirit Stealing Dao'?"
Today, Shintoism is flourishing, and everything is directed by the gods, including naturally the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
If practitioners in this world want to practice breathing and spiritual cultivation, they must fast and bathe in advance, choose an auspicious day, and then set up an altar to pray to the Heavenly Palace. Only with the approval of the Heavenly Palace and the allocation of spiritual energy by the spiritual gods can they practice breathing and spiritual cultivation.
Even so, it may not be successful every time. It depends on the luck of the weather and the merits of the person praying.
It was so complicated that naturally there was a group of practitioners who did not want to be restricted by it, so they created the method of [Stealing Souls].
Without the approval of the Heavenly Palace or the allocation of spiritual energy by the gods, one can directly draw spiritual energy from the heaven and earth to practice.
These practitioners of the [Spirit Stealing Dao] are also the focus of Heavenly Palace, and killing them will bring great merit!
"The Way of Stealing Souls? According to the understanding of this world, I should be considered one." Hong Zun said frankly.
Of course, the cultivators of the [Spirit Stealing Dao] generally have a high realm, and their means of attack are even more amazing, so ordinary [Spirit Praying Dao] cultivators, except for some geniuses from big sects, will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
The old Taoist doesn’t have that intention.
"Then please take back the treasure, Master. This old Taoist and my two disciples cannot afford it."
They are the orthodox [Qiling Dao].
"But I think you really need it."
boom!
The temple door was broken open, fragments scattered everywhere, and the cold wind blew into the temple.
Boom!
At this moment, lightning flashed across the sky again. With the help of lightning, one could see a monster with a bear head and a human body, wearing golden armor and as big as a small mountain, standing outside the temple gate.
He carried a long staff as thick as a bowl on his shoulder, and his terrifying aura was suffocating.
"Damn old Taoist priest, return my brother's life to me!"
The roar was even more terrifying than the roar of thunder. It directly stirred up a physical distortion, and it seemed as if a hurricane was blowing in the ruined temple.
This roar was enough to make an ordinary person bleed from all seven orifices and die suddenly.
Logically speaking, there was no chance that the young man and the girl would be spared, but the roar shook in front of Hong Zun and then suddenly dissipated, without even the flames fluctuating in the slightest.
The two children did not notice anything wrong, but the old man did, and his expression looked a little ugly.
In order to kill the bear monster that was wreaking havoc on the local area and eating countless people, he has used up all his spiritual energy today!
At this moment, he only has half of his magic power left. He is no match for this bear monster!
Boom!Boom!
The ground seemed to be shaking. The bear demon stepped into the temple. Its huge body seemed to make the entire temple more crowded.
It is not ferocious, but rather has a sense of solemnity.
A faint fragrance came from it, it was sandalwood.
Its energy is thick and peaceful, faintly connected with the earth's veins, and there is also a mysterious yellow energy of the Xu earth that connects to the sky.
It’s not a bear monster, but a bear god, the mountain god recognized by the Heavenly Palace!
The God of Bear looked at Hong Zun, his bean-sized eyes full of fear: "Who are you? Get out of the way! I am the God of Gua Mountain, you are violating the laws of the Heavenly Palace!"
Well, it happens again.
It's a human...even the monsters call me "this seat". When did these two words become so cheap?
That is to say, if Huo were here, the whole heaven would have been turned upside down.
Hong Zun naturally didn't take a small bear god seriously.
He casually fixed it in place and looked at the old Taoist: "Well, I'll tell you what you need, and you decide."
"..." The old Taoist took out a talisman and made a seal to summon the gods. "Don't worry, Master. I have my own way."
The situation was critical at the moment, and he had no time to set up the altar. The talisman in his hand burst into flames.
"I am Jiang Lin, the 47th generation descendant of Yunhai Temple on Chengming Mountain. I am a disciple of Master Lingjing. I report to the Lord of Heaven..."
Ask for God’s help!
The old Taoist recited very quickly and finished everything shortly after the fire was lit.
However, when the fire of the talisman burned out, not a single bit of divine power descended.
The old Taoist's expression froze.
Then the Bear God laughed loudly, and his voice shook the temple: "I am the God of Gua Mountain. The Lord Tongli worshipped by your Yunhai Temple is a good friend of my master Lord Tongwei. How could he make things difficult for me just because of a Taoist priest like you!"
"Not to mention my brother, who earned countless incense for Lord Tongli, but was killed by an old Taoist like you. Do you think Lord Tongli will use his divine power to save you?"
After hearing this, the old Taoist's expression finally became dejected.
However, the bear god who kept his mouth shut was also terrified!
Is it possible to talk about such a thing?! (End of this chapter)
