On the Avenue.

Chapter 444: Jue Yangzi Ascension

Liu Qinghong was stunned: "Conferring the talisman and receiving the imperial edict? How to confer? How to receive?"

She was at a loss, and while she was thinking, Chen Shi had finished reciting the words of ordination and offered up the Jade Seal of the King of the West. The sky was filled with light, and a map of the mountains, rivers, and country of the fifty provinces of Xiniu Xinzhou appeared around the Jade Seal of the King of the West. The map of the country belonging to Changyi County of Donglin Province burst into divine power and turned into rays of divine clouds!
The Jade Seal of the King of the West dropped from the sky with supreme divine power and royal power, and the supreme authority made her panic!
"So the deification is just a stamp? It definitely can't be printed on the face."

She blinked her eyes and quickly lifted her skirt, intending to have her tail sealed. However, as soon as she lifted her skirt, the Jade Seal of the King of the West fell on her pink thigh.

The West King's Jade Seal retracted as soon as it touched her skin. Liu Qinghong said in panic, "Tail! It's a tail!"

Soon she felt a surge of divine power surging towards her. This divine power came from all the gods and spirits in Changyi County, Donglin Province. She could dispatch these gods and spirits to use for her own purposes!
At the same time, the mountains and rivers of Changyi County, every mountain, every river, every road, every village, every flower and tree were all clearly reflected in her mind, as if she had seen them with her own eyes.

This situation made her marvel at it.

She tried to mobilize divine power, and the mark of the Western King's Jade Seal appeared on her thigh. The divine power of every god and spirit in Changyi County could be borrowed, allowing her cultivation strength to rise steadily!
"It just doesn't look good when it's covering your thighs."

Liu Qinghong's eyes rolled as she begged Chen Shi, "Fellow Daoist Chen, can you please place the seal somewhere else? On my tail, so that when I activate the seal, I can watch it slowly appear and appreciate it. Otherwise, I can only lift up my skirt to appreciate it, which is quite indecent."

Chen Shi was puzzled: "It's elegant when printed on the thigh. Why is it indecent?"

"Is it elegant?"

"elegant."

Liu Qinghong lifted the hem of her skirt and looked at her slender legs. Her legs were very straight, and when put together, they looked like white jade chopsticks that were thin at the bottom and thick at the top, which was very pleasing to the eye.

However, she still begged, "Please change it to the tail."

Chen Shi held up the Western King's Jade Seal and said with a smile, "I'll try again. I haven't tried to change the position of the seal before."

Liu Qinghong stretched out her green tail from her skirt and looked at the sky expectantly.

Chen Shi raised the Western King's Jade Seal, which fell from the sky and accurately imprinted on her tail.

Liu Qinghong blinked and said in annoyance, "It's useless."

Chen Shi comforted him, "If you want to watch it, you can watch it secretly when no one is around."

Liu Qinghong retracted her tail into her skirt and let down the hem of her skirt: "This is the only way."

Chen Shi asked, "Qinghong, is there any temple or other strange place that suddenly appeared nearby?"

Liu Qinghong thought for a moment and said, "It has never happened in my jurisdiction, but in the neighboring Yangu County, strange things happened. People from Yangu County came here and said that there was a god causing trouble there."

Chen Shi frowned slightly. Was it the gods? Didn't the immortals of Despair Hill get rid of all the gods from the upper realms?

"That god fell from the sky, along with the sun, moon, and stars. There were so many of them that they covered the valley."

Liu Qinghong said, "That god was injured and cut in half. He couldn't move, but he could show his spirit. So he enslaved many people in the valley and built a temple for him and provided incense and offerings. He also came to my place to abduct people, but I swore to never let him. He didn't succeed because he was afraid of getting hurt again."

Chen Shi's heart was moved: "The beheaded god? I wonder which family he belongs to? If he is nearby, then I will go and take a look. If he is really causing trouble, I will just sacrifice my wife to get rid of him."

Liu Qinghong has many temples, and she asked one of the statues to appear and lead the way for Chen Shi.

Although the two places are adjacent counties, they are now far apart due to the presence of many mountains, rivers and lands from the underworld.

It took them half a day to enter Yangu County.

Chen Shi looked around and saw that Yangu County was full of broken mountains, and the sky was cluttered with suns, moons, and stars. A huge fragment of the upper world was stuck in the ground, and this place must have experienced a collision between the upper world and the earth.

The temple of that god was built among the fragments of the world above.

The fragment of the upper world is quite large, with a waning moon and stars orbiting around it, like an independent world.

"That god lives here." Liu Qinghong said.

Chen Shi looked towards the fragments of the upper world. A huge figure was sitting in the upper world, with a huge incense burner in front of it. There were a lot of incense in the burner, and the flame was like a red sun. The aroma of the incense was curling up like a blue cloud, floating towards the god.

The aura of that god was extremely powerful, and extraordinary power continued to form in the blue clouds, entangled and intertwined, forming bright talisman marks that disappeared into his body one after another.

Even though he only had half of his body left, he was still at the peak of the Mahayana realm, and his divine power was constantly recovering.

In the upper world, tens of thousands of people were waiting in line to burn incense. And in the lower world, there were countless hungry people in the towns, each of them offering incense and kneeling down to kowtow to the god.

"These people worship the gods and do not produce anything. What do they eat?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

Liu Qinghong said, "They also eat Blood Tai Sui. This god will choose a few lucky people every day, and his divine power will descend upon these people and enter their bodies. He will then go to the mountains to dig up the flesh of Blood Tai Sui and send it to these people."

The evil flesh and blood of the immortals fell into the human world and turned into mountains of flesh and blood. These flesh and blood were full of spirituality and evil, and bred many evil creatures. It was difficult for ordinary people to obtain flesh and blood when they entered the mountains, and they often either went crazy or suddenly died from self-mutilation.

This god used another person's body to go into the mountains and get meat to feed the people. Chen Shi thought there was nothing wrong with this.

The two of them mixed into the crowd and followed the believers to the upper realm. Chen Shi observed the talisman patterns that kept interweaving in the air, and his heart moved slightly: "This is the Li family's small calamity crossing technique. This god is the ancestor of the Li family! Although he is in trouble, he protects the people in one area, which is also a righteous act."

He noticed that there were some cultivators in the upper world whose cultivation was not very high, and the highest was only at the Void Refinement Realm. They should be officials from the nearby Li family who came to seek refuge with the ancestor of the Li family.

In addition, there are some ghosts and gods, which should also be the ghosts and gods of the Li family, and there are several hundred of them.

“Even if the upper world is destroyed and transportation between places is cut off, the power of a big family like the Li family in the local area is still unimaginable.” Chen Shi sighed in his heart.

At this moment, the Li family ancestor suddenly laughed and said, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? You have been living near my territory and have repeatedly offended me. Today I must confront you!"

Liu Qinghong was surprised and said: "He found us!"

Chen Shi looked at Hei Guo, who frowned slightly, wondering how the ancestor of the Li family saw through them.

Black Pot was responsible for deceiving others and covering the infiltration of Chen Shi and others. Logically, he should not be discovered by the Li family ancestor unless the gap was too big. However, Black Pot's current strength was also extraordinary. Although he was still not as good as the Li family ancestor, it was not difficult to deceive him.

Suddenly, the world above the world rumbled and shook, and it actually rose from the earth and turned into a huge piece of land, standing upright behind the head of the ancestor of the Li family!
This world above the world is hundreds of miles long and wide, extremely vast. People standing in the world above the world are as small as ants. Seeing this, they prayed to the ancestor of the Li family more devoutly, burned incense, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"He's so awesome!"

Liu Qinghong was shocked and said to Chen Shi, "Let's make amends to him!"

Suddenly, the ancestor of the Li family flew up, and many stars surrounded him. As he flew, the stars and the upper realm also followed him.

Around Chen Shi and Liu Qinghong, everyone suddenly stiffened, stood still, looked up at the sky, and their own vital energy flew out of their bodies and flew into the body of the Li family ancestor.

The power of the entire upper world was mobilized by the ancestor of the Li family, including the people of the upper world, who also became part of the upper world.

"The person he wants to deal with is not us!" Chen Shi realized.

He originally thought that the ancestor of the Li family had discovered them and was planning to kill them, but now it seems that the ancestor of the Li family has raised the upper realm as his own void realm, probably to deal with another powerful enemy!
"Are there other gods nearby?" Chen Shi was stunned. In his opinion, Liu Qinghong could be considered a top expert, but there was still a huge gap between him and the Li family ancestor. If the Li family ancestor wanted to deal with Liu Qinghong, he would definitely not use this fragment of the upper world.

This opponent must be extremely powerful, so the ancestor of the Li family still needs tens of thousands of believers to burn incense continuously and even absorb their essence, in order to keep himself in peak condition at all times!
The ancestor of the Li family flew directly into a ruined mountain with a huge fragment of the upper world. He landed, looked up and smiled, "You have been hiding here and repeatedly kidnapped my people. I was seriously injured before, so I didn't bother with you. I sent the younger generation of my Li family to see you, but you detained them. If you don't know etiquette, don't blame me for being immoral!"

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he looked forward, only to see a ray of light appearing in the ruined mountains at some point in time.

In the rosy glow, there is another world vaguely visible, with mountains and rivers.

It was thought that not long after the upper world was shattered, the ancestor of the Li family came here to recuperate. Fearing the search of the Hill of Despair, he ignored the other powerful man hidden in this ray of light.

But after such a long time, Despair Slope had not come to look for him, which made him much bolder. In addition, he used the fragments of the upper realm of the refining world and regarded it as his own void realm, which greatly increased his strength, so he wanted to eliminate this neighbor.

The ancestor of the Li family flew into the rosy glow, and his powerful aura caused the glow to tremble continuously.

The entire fragment of the upper world also entered into the rosy glow.

There was a sudden bright light in front of Chen Shi's eyes, and then the dazzling light gradually became softer and adapted to the light in the sunset glow.

But all around you can see picturesque mountains and clear waters, and pleasant scenery. White clouds float among the green mountains, white cranes roam, and fish wag their tails in the green water, leisurely and relaxed.

They came from the hellish and dangerous world and rashly broke into this place. They felt as if they had entered a fairyland, which made them feel relaxed and happy. They couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the fresh air.

"There is no evil in the righteousness of heaven and earth here!"

Chen Shi was extremely surprised. He carefully distinguished the positive energy of heaven and earth, but still did not find any evil energy!

This discovery was so significant that it shocked him greatly.

A long time ago, Chen Shi realized that there was an evil spirit hidden in the righteousness between heaven and earth. He used to think that the evil spirit came from the Moon Eye of the True God from outer space, because corpses would become evil under the moonlight.

Later it was discovered that the True God Moon Eye was only a part of the source of the evil energy. Another major source of the evil energy came from the sky!

Since the end of the Shang Dynasty until now, any practitioner, even ordinary people, will be infected by evil spirits!

Chen Shi used to rely on the righteous energy of heaven and earth in China to practice, which prevented himself from being infected by evil spirits.

He didn't expect that the vast void realm discovered by the Li family's ancestor did not have any evil energy at all!

Suddenly, a cultivator from the Li family flew out from the fragments of the upper world and shouted, "This piece of heaven and earth in the rosy clouds is actually a vast void realm, a place where the predecessors and sages achieved harmony with the Tao!"

More cultivators from the Li family flew out, looked around, and were extremely surprised.

At this time, someone made a discovery and shouted, "There is a boundary marker here!"

The ancestor of the Li family flew over and saw that there was indeed a stone tablet in front of him, which was one zhang high. Under the tablet was a giant Ba Xia, which had died of old age and only its tortoise shell was left.

The stone tablet was very strange. When they got closer to it, it would grow taller and taller, as high as the sky, blocking their view and way. But when they walked away from it, it would return to its original state, still ten feet high.

There are some words engraved on the stone tablet, written in divine language, like bird seal script and insect script, and each word is in the form of a talisman.

Among the people in the Li family, there are not many who are well versed in this art, and even if they could recognize it, they would not be able to recognize it all.

Chen Shi recognized the content on the stele at a glance.

"Jue Yangzi ascended to heaven here, leaving a monument to commemorate him."

He was shocked. What era did Jue Yangzi live in? Why was he able to ascend to heaven?

The Li family ancestor had a deep understanding of talismans and recognized the contents on the stone tablet. He said with emotion: "This is the place where Jue Yangzi ascended to heaven!"

He looked up and saw a wisp of fairy mist floating down from the sky, falling into the highest peak and forming an auspicious cloud on the top.

There were rays of bright light there, which were very dazzling.

"The breath of the fairy world!"

The Li family ancestor laughed loudly, "When this senior Jue Yangzi ascended to heaven, he opened up the fairyland, and a little fairy energy fell into this place along this passage. No wonder there is no evil energy here! The evil energy has been transformed by the fairy energy!"

He flew forward, and the stone tablet in front of him grew larger and larger, blocking his way.

"Little tricks!"

The ancestor of the Li family snorted, and his momentum increased to the extreme. He crushed over, and actually pressed the stone tablet smaller and smaller!
The ancestor of the Li family raised his hand, and all the cultivators of the Li family flew up involuntarily, falling into the fragments of the upper world behind his head, and then flew towards the auspicious cloud on the highest peak.

As they got closer, the immortal energy contained in the auspicious clouds became more and more dense. Just taking a whiff of it would greatly increase a person's cultivation!
"Someone really ascended! He really ascended!" Chen Shi murmured.

He had some doubts in his heart. The words on the stone tablet were clearly the talismans and divine texts from the True King era, not the words from the Great Shang period. The evil spirit was obviously very serious in the True King era, so the True King ordered to abolish the old laws and establish new laws.

How did Jueyangzi of the True King era ascend to heaven?

Finally, the ancestor of the Li family flew to the highest peak and saw fairy air falling above the auspicious cloud. Following the source of the fairy air, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be another world there.

"Jue Yangzi ascended to heaven here!" The Li family's ancestor could not hide his excitement.

He looked towards the auspicious clouds and was suddenly stunned. He saw a skeleton lying among the clouds, with a sword-shaped light piercing through its chest!

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze.

The ancestor of the Li family looked up at the sky, then looked at the corpse among the clouds, his eyes filled with confusion.

Did Jueyangzi really ascend to heaven?
Whose body is this?
Where did the sword light that was stuck in the corpse's chest come from?

Someone looked in the direction of the sword light and saw the place where the immortal energy fell.

An idea came to Chen Shi's mind.

"When Jue Yangzi ascended to heaven, he was pierced by a sword from the immortal world and died here. But why?"

At this time, a Li family ghost flew out from the fragments of the upper world, trying to pull out the sword light stuck in the bones, and said: "This is the immortal bone, take it back and refine it into treasure."

As soon as his palm touched the sword light, it suddenly dissipated like dust, turned into thousands of light spots, and disappeared.

The white bones on the ground moved their fingers.

Chen Shi's eyes had been fixed on the skeleton. Seeing this, without thinking, he immediately pulled Liu Qinghong and threw the girl into the wooden cart, shouting, "Black Pot, retreat quickly!"
