Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 364: Tribute God - Tiangang Venerable

"How many secular princes were there in Luozhou back then?!"

Lin Beixuan's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

An extremely bad idea popped into his mind.

If the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost extracted Su Baifeng's soul and sacrificed his body to make a puppet, it means that the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost has already known the secret of the worldly boy and is using it to his advantage.

This is the biggest problem.

It would be fine if he was just killed, but Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost found a way to take advantage of the special nature of secular children. This would be a huge trouble for both him and all people with the identity of secular children.

"The Soul Furnace uses the special soul of the secular child as firewood and the body as the furnace to forge a false body for the ascending stage."

"Although the panel mentioned that the use of this magic requires extremely high quality of soul, and the success rate is also very low."

“How many official laymen like Su Baifeng were there in Luozhou before? If they were all refined into ascending fake bodies by the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, even if the probability is very low, some of them will succeed.”

“As long as it succeeds, it will have the experience of breaking through to become a Great Secular God, and its strength will increase exponentially.”

The Soul Furnace technique was copied onto the panel and passed to Lin Beixuan. It didn't take him much time to digest it all.

The more thoroughly he digested it, the more terrified Lin Beixuan became about this technique.

Because this magic technique seems to be specially created to utilize the special souls of ordinary people.

After all, in this secular world, there are probably not many souls as special as Su Shizi.

The sickle blade and the sharp knife edge crossed each other, making a sharp clanging sound.

The purple flowing divine power encountered the black aura surging from the black blade, but surprisingly failed to suppress the opponent.

"This puppet is stronger than the Blood Vampire Hungry Minion and the Nine-Headed Hungry Minion. It has almost reached the level of an ordinary lower-level minor god."

After a brief fight, Lin Beixuan had a rough idea of the strength of the enemy in front of him.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Xuanhuang hungry devil is completely capable of matching ordinary lower-level secular gods, and may even be stronger.

Because the other party must have many tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't used yet.

"No wonder the Fox Spirit God didn't just kill the hungry henchmen guarding the gate outside the temple when she came to check. It turned out that they were too strong and she was unsure."

"And if we kill this puppet, it will immediately attract the attention of the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost."

"Given how much the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost values this Tianzun Temple, he might just abandon the dilapidated village and come here."

Lin Beixuan quickly figured out the whole story, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Because this also means that he has no way to deal with the other party.

If he tried his best, he might be able to kill the puppet by crossing levels, but he would never be able to beat it to the point where it lost the ability to resist.

You have to know that sometimes it is much more difficult to subdue a person than to kill him.

What's more, the one in front of him was just a body without a soul.

"It's really troublesome!"

Lin Beixuan moved his right hand, and a colorless barrier was instantly released with him as the center.

The grayish-white mist blew towards the Xuanhuang hungry minions like the wind.

Within this barrier, everything seemed to be slowed down, and the various methods obtained by Lin Beixuan were mixed in it.

Among them, the main one is the path of the God of Death. The negative states such as Yang Blade, Tian Ku, Lin Huo, Ju Men, Song Sang... are put on Xuan Huang's hungry minions.

At first, the Xuanhuang hungry minions would be affected, but suddenly a strong Xuanhuang aura rose from its body.

The mysterious yellow energy was as sharp as a sword or a spear, and it instantly cut a hole in the colorless barrier cast by Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan frowned and quickly dodged to the side. He saw that where he had stood before, the space suddenly tore a crack, revealing a dark gap, which then slowly healed.

Lin Beixuan had some cold sweat on his forehead and felt a little scared.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly enough, otherwise his whole body would have been cut in half.

He recalled the terrifying sharp edge just now, and when comparing it with the Xuanhuang Qi he knew, they were completely two different things.

He obtained the Xuanhuang Dao Seed from the fragments of the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda. The condensed Xuanhuang energy was gentle and heavy, which could make up for the foundation of Dao.

However, at this moment, the slash from Xuanhuang's hungry minions, which was filled with Xuanhuang's aura, was full of murderousness and sharpness, which were completely opposite.

"Is it because of the different Pagoda God fragments that the abilities are different?!"

Lin Beixuan guessed secretly and became extremely alert at the same time.

In order not to attract the attention of the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, he had no way of killing the puppet directly, but the opponent's sharp aura was too strong and he could not subdue it at all.

"We have to find a way!"

"How did Yu Changqing and Fox Spirit God get in?"

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes, and his gaze suddenly swept towards the Temple of Tianzun behind Xuanhuang's hungry minions.

"Let's see if it will attack me if we enter the temple first."

The road to the underworld suddenly appeared under Lin Beixuan's feet, the divine realm slowly unfolded, and three figures that blocked out the sky and the sun stood in the middle.

"Netherworld!"

Then, three figures simultaneously stretched out a finger and pointed at Xuanhuang's hungry henchman.

"Clang clang clang..."

The gray-white mist within the colorless barrier was covered by extremely thick black fog.

If the effect of the gray fog is mainly to continuously weaken and suppress the enemy, then the black fog bursting out from the netherworld is erosion and destruction.

There were bursts of thunder in the black fog, accompanied by scarlet sparks and the shouts of thousands of ghost soldiers, and the wails of evil ghosts that pounced towards the hungry minions of Xuanhuang.

The cold black chains were like poisonous snakes. In the blink of an eye, they wrapped around Xuanhuang's hungry minions' limbs and bound them.

Lin Beixuan did not hesitate and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly rush towards the Tianzun Temple in front.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing Lin Beixuan approaching the temple, Xuanhuang hungry minions opened their mouths wide and let out a terrifying and desperate roar.

There was some special power in this roar, like the sad and confused Xuannv that Lin Beixuan had seen before, who could control people's minds and emotions through sound.

However, Lin Beixuan was well prepared. The moment the hungry Xuanhuang minions roared, a dragon's roar sounded in his mind at the same time.

The two roars overlapped, and the black dragon's roar covered the roar of Xuanhuang's hungry minions at the moment when Lin Beixuan was about to be affected.

[Your spirit has been invaded, and the reverse scale has devoured part of the opponent's spirit, gaining divinity +1. ]

Lin Beixuan heard a prompt from the panel in his mind. However, at this moment, the Xuanhuang Qi filled the bound wrists and ankles of the Xuanhuang Hungry Minion, and the black chain was cut by the sharp Xuanhuang Qi, and it broke into pieces after a short moment.

But this time is enough.

Lin Beixuan raised his foot and stepped into the incense temple of Tiangang Venerable.

I didn't smell the scent of incense as I had imagined. It was indeed as the Fox Spirit God said, it was too clean inside.

Lin Beixuan did not observe the scene inside the temple first, but stood at the door and turned back to look at Xuanhuang's hungry minions.

"Hu-hu-"

At this time, Xuanhuang was standing at the door, panting heavily. His two long arms almost reached his knees, and his slender fingers were tightly grasping a strangely shaped black short blade.

Its face still had that expression of despair and wanton laughter, but the light in its eyes was terrifying and captivating.

But not long after, Xuan Huang's hungry minions eyes suddenly faded slowly, and he squatted down, curling up in front of the temple door again.

"This behavior is a bit like a machine that only knows how to follow orders!"

Lin Beixuan watched silently and did not make any move to jump out of the door again to provoke Xuanhuang's hungry minions.

If he had not been promoted to the realm of summoning gods, it would have been extremely difficult for him to get rid of the other party and enter the Temple of Tianzun.

Lin Beixuan stared at Xuan Huang's hungry minions back for a while, then shook his head with some regret.

The time when he first entered the secular world was actually very awkward. It was not the boom period for new secular people, and he did not receive any official care.

Moreover, the place of his birth was Qingzhou, which was gradually invaded by the Zi Gu God and the evil spirits from the South Seas. There were wolves in front and tigers behind. When he turned around, there were starving ghosts from Luozhou who ate people nearby. It could be said that it was the beginning of half hell.

Of course, there are also some secular princes who were born directly in Changzhou and Minzhou. Their start was even worse. If they wanted to escape alive, they would probably have to work hard to get out.

It was also because of the awkward time and place of his birth that he seldom met other secular children of the same batch.

The last time I met Cui Dongcan and Li Xizhao in Wumeng Mountain was just a coincidence.

Lin Beixuan had turned back to look for these two people once when there was a chaos in Wumeng Mountain.

These two were very lucky. They were imprisoned in a dungeon at first. Later, the evil spirits from Southeast Asia joined forces with the Qingzhou County Court to attack them. They took advantage of the chaos to escape and there has been no news of them since then.

However, it was just a chance encounter, so Lin Beixuan didn't care much about whether the two of them finally escaped from the encirclement of Evil Spirit True Lord's men.

Now it was confirmed that the dark yellow hungry minion in front of him was the body of a certain official secular son. Seeing the other party's appearance, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but sigh.

He has always had some good feelings towards the authorities. In the eyes of this body, even though he has become a puppet, the despair in his eyes has not dissipated, which is enough to prove that he had suffered tremendous pain in his life.

"Turning the soul into firewood to light a fire, this kind of pain is far more despairing than the pain brought by the body."

"Ugh!"

Back to the topic, Lin Beixuan turned and faced the Tianzun Temple.

The decoration inside this temple looks very simple, but it exudes antiquity everywhere.

The old red wooden door, stone walls and simple and clean interior space without excessive decorations are supported by a few rough pillars.

Lin Beixuan walked in. On both sides were long sails made of thin bamboo. There were unknown patterns painted on the sails. From a distance, it looked like a posing pig.

In front of the sail, there was a long row of lamp racks used to hold lamp oil and candles, but there was no more oil in the lamps and the candles had burned out.

In the center of the entire temple hall is a huge incense burner with some extinguished incense sticks inserted intermittently in it.

However, it looked like it was made a long time ago. Many of the incense sticks had become damp and rotten, with only the smooth bamboo threads left stuck on them.

Lin Beixuan took a quick look around and found that this Tianzun Temple was even more shabby than any other temple he had ever seen.

Suddenly, Lin Beixuan's eyes moved downward, with a strange expression on his face.

No, it’s not all shabby. There are quite a lot of fruits and food on the tribute table.

Lin Beixuan looked at the dozen or so small bowls on the table. The food in the bowls had already passed the rot period and had completely lost its moisture, sticking shriveled inside the bowls.

"Suck it up..."

Lin Beixuan sniffed a few times and after making sure that he could not smell any scent of incense, he disrespectfully swept all the rotten and shriveled offerings on the altar to the ground.

After doing all this, Lin Beixuan picked up the cushion on the ground, shook off the dust on it, then sat down on the cushion and looked up at the statue sitting in the center.

This statue does not have the golden and magnificent appearance that ordinary statues should have. It is carved entirely from ordinary stone.

You should know that among the secular temples that we usually see, if not made entirely of pure gold, the slightly larger ones are at least gold-plated.

However, it is somewhat surprising that the statue of one of the leading figures in the secular world is carved out of ordinary stone.

No wonder the truly rich people in this world dress very ordinary. For example, the real estate tycoons in the Jiangmin area all wear the same white vest and oversized shorts. The total amount of money they have on their bodies does not exceed one hundred yuan. When they walk on the street, they are not as good as the average worker.

As the saying goes, Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes.

But in fact, a person or god with real background does not need to package himself with gold and silver inlaid exteriors.

Keeping your eyes fixed on the statue, you can see that this Tiangang Venerable has a human body and a pig's head, with a big belly and a grin under his pig's nose. Not only does he not look scary, but he looks very friendly.

"Haizhu, the Venerable Tiangang!"

Lin Beixuan muttered softly, tapping his fingers on his crossed knees.

He walked around the temple for a long time, but just like the fox god, he didn't find anything strange.

He even thought of possible secret doors, but in the end, there was nothing.

"The lay master cannot die, so this temple cannot be a dead temple."

"Moreover, the fact that the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost is so afraid of this place that he dispatched one of the four great subordinate officials, the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, to guard here shows that there must be some mystery here."

"Yu Changqing and other secular princes came, and the Fox Spirit God also came to investigate, but they found nothing. This shows that this temple is just an ordinary temple. The most important thing is the statue in front of us."

Lin Beixuan thought for a while, then slowly reached into the bag and fumbled around, and finally took out a fist-sized piece of something that looked like dried bacon, or like a stone that had escaped from a frying pan.

But unlike bacon and stone, this one is interwoven with strings of golden lines.

Golden Silk Tai Sui!

This golden silk Tai Sui was obtained by Lin Beixuan from the wanderer Zhuge Qing.

The other party didn't know the value of this thing. If it weren't for the existence of this panel, perhaps even Lin Beixuan himself would have misjudged it.

Because apart from the gold threads on the surface, this Tai Sui meat is really inconspicuous.

Staring at the Tai Sui meat, then looking up at the statue of Tiangang Venerable behind the offering table, Lin Beixuan had a silent expression.

"By the way...didn't I ask the Fox Spirit God how to use this Tai Sui meat?"
