I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 322: Obey orders but not announcements?
Chen family of Xianyan.

In the eyes of any family, this is like a local tyrant.

Since Chen Taiwu founded his business here, it has experienced ups and downs for hundreds of years.

is the day.

The ancestral temple dedicated to the family ancestors, the temple dedicated to the land god, the river god temple and the mountain god temple with popular incense, all emitted strange noises at the same time.

Then the priests of all the major temples were horrified to find at the same time that the tall and majestic statues in the temples had a large number of cracks appearing on their bodies, and then they collapsed.

The temple keeper was stunned for a moment, and then he was terrified.

For a statue that truly has a god inhabiting it, this situation can only mean one thing: the god has fallen!
That's a high and mighty God, right?!

In just a short period of time, there was considerable turmoil and panic among the Chen family in Xianyan.

Soon, an old man remembered that this strange incident of the statue collapsing, cracking, and even bleeding was not the first time it had happened.

Soon, news from all over the place gathered here to the Chen ancestor one by one.

Be it Patriarch Chen or other family leaders, their faces suddenly changed drastically and they were terrified.

Ordinary members of the tribe didn’t know what had happened, but they, the top leaders, knew.

The god that the family has worked so hard to cultivate for so long suddenly died, and something big happened in the siege and killing of the Queen Mother of the Mansion?
In Zhong Lixiao's opinion, Shintoism today is completely rotten.

but.

In the eyes of a family of the level of the Xianyan Chen family, the gods cultivated by the family are the bottom line for the survival of the family and the indispensable foundation of the family.

After all, they couldn't guarantee that a golden elixir would appear in every generation of the family.

If the Golden Elixir Ancestor is lost, the power of gods and ancestral spirits will be indispensable.

However, he never expected that when the Kitchen God attained enlightenment more than 20 years ago, all the gods that the family had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years were wiped out, and the family's strength was greatly weakened.

If the gods cultivated by other surrounding families had not died out at the same time, the balance of power among their major families might have been broken.

After a period of turmoil, they were in a panic and finally managed to elect a few new gods, and finally managed to stabilize their position.

After all, you can't just nominate a god and expect believers to accept him.

Not all gods can gain the faith of the people, but only those who gain the faith of the people can be canonized as gods.

Even if it is widely publicized, if it is not closely related to people's lives, people will not buy it at all.

However, a big family like theirs is not short of wisdom, manpower and financial resources.

for example.

In order to vigorously promote the righteous gods promoted by the family, they would even arrange for some family cultivators to serve as temple priests.

Then they would take the initiative to help believers with some things, occasionally cure their illnesses, and at critical moments tell people that all this was the will of xx God.

Over the years, you will naturally accumulate a certain amount of faith.

Once something happens to the statue, letting believers know that the god has fallen and is no longer effective, the people will probably quickly convert to a new god.

And this is also the weakness of Shinto law!

This is how the belief in the Mountain Goddess spread at that time.

Later, they planned carefully, spent several years and expended a lot of energy, and finally gathered a group of weak beliefs again.

And they achieved this in a short period of time by using all means possible!

for example.

The Chen family of Xianyan introduced a mountain god named Mingde Gong, who protected the people living around the mountain area for hundreds of years and had a very strong belief in him.

In order to successfully launch the new god, they replaced the original with a new name for Mingde Gong.

They may publish storybooks, blur the pronunciation of the name, or even specially recruit a group of opera troupes to blur the deeds of the old version of Mingde Zhengshen, and then mix up the names and introduce the deeds of some new gods.

This method is indeed a shortcut. Many young people don’t even know that the Mingde Zhengshen they believe in is not the same person as the one their ancestors believed in.

After all, in the face of the power of time, everything will be slowly smoothed out.

but.

After all, people still have memories!

From the beginning to now, there has always been the existence of the Mingde Zhengshen.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be repeated in a short period of time. After all, only a dozen years have passed.

They had just tried hard to get believers to accept that Mingde Zhengshen had changed his name, so they couldn't just repeat the operation now, could they?

As long as one or two generations don't die out, even if the Chen family of Xianyan pushes it hard, the effect will not be very good.

In other words, the Xianyan Chen family's foundation in Shintoism was once again cleared out.

What made many high-level officials even more desperate was that they were more worried about the revenge of the Queen Mother.

Not only the Chen family of Xianyan, but all the major forces that participated in the siege of the Queen Mother of the Mansion were worried.

Some families that are extremely sensitive about their survival have even begun to arrange for some of their core members to evacuate.

Within the magical scene of Floating Cloud Fairy City.

The divine servant with his mouth sealed staggered, being hunted with no way to go up to heaven or down to earth. He just felt that everything around him was too quiet.

It was so quiet that he felt the whole city was full of crises and death spots.

As for the sound, any sound was terrifying to the servant of God, as if it was a death warrant to take his life.

It was not known how long had passed, but the divine servant only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then he was captured in a daze.

Feeling the strong, almost insoluble smell of divine blood on these soldiers, the divine servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.

But what made him even more desperate was that his mouth was sealed for his rude remarks, and now he couldn't even beg for mercy.

After a beating, the servant felt that his body was not his own, and then he was escorted to a certain place by some big-headed soldiers in a daze.

Although his body hurt so much with every step that made him doubt his life as a god, a gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the god's servant.

because.

If the high and mighty Lady of the Mansion wanted to kill him, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

Did she want him to be a messenger?
Thinking of this, the divine servant's eyes shone brighter, and he didn't even dare to have a trace of usurpation in his heart.

pat!

The divine servant only felt a sharp pain in his body, and then he was thrown to the ground extremely roughly by the soldiers escorting him.

In the majestic hall, the mysterious and unfathomable Lady Lord stretched out her hand and wrote and drew in the air.

A large amount of divine light continued to gather between her jade fingers, and then words fell onto a piece of paper one by one.

When the divine servant saw this, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

What realm is this lady of the mansion at?
Many great gods in the Divine Dynasty can also draw talismans in the void.

But if one were to write ordinary words as if they were divine symbols like this lady of the mansion, then that would truly be an achievement beyond compare to nature.

What made the divine servant tremble with fear was that he actually saw on the table the golden whip that the Star God had cultivated for many years, and the jade ruyi that he had never left.

Has the Star Lord of Heavenly Prison been killed by this Lady of the Mansion?

As a result, this trembling servant of God became more humble.

The entire City Lord's Mansion fell silent, with only the sound of Zhong Lixiao writing the letter talisman being heard.

boom!
After the letter was written, Zhong Lixiao took out the seal of the Queen Mother and stamped it on the letter.

From then on, this letter was completed.

Zhong Lixiao put away the seal of the Queen Mother, waved his sleeves casually, and unsealed the seal on the divine servant's mouth.

The divine servant lowered his head and looked submissive, not daring to utter another word.

Zhong Lixiao said calmly, "I have only had one attitude from the beginning to the end. I just want to stay in my own little piece of land and live my own life."

"I don't want to oppose anyone, nor do I want to support anyone, and I don't want to get involved in any disputes."

"The Immortal Path is very vast, and can accommodate two Dao Lords and several Venerables. The Divine Path is also very vast, and I believe that it will not be unable to accommodate even a small Palace Lord like me."

The divine servant lowered his head and did not express any opinion.

He knew that the Queen Mother's words were not meant for him, but for the people behind her.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but shook his head.

Isn't that very sensible and polite?
He keeps swearing, it's really an ear-splitting insult!

Zhong Lixiao waved his hand lightly, and the letter on the table floated in front of the divine servant.

"Go back and tell the people behind you that I have no intention of being hostile to the Divine Dynasty. Following orders and not hearing proclamations is my bottom line!"

Obey orders and not announcements?
The divine servant couldn't help but look up, his eyes filled with disbelief. Zhong Lixiao frowned and asked, "What? You don't understand what I'm saying?"

The divine attendant quickly bowed his head and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I meant no disrespect. However, you may have misunderstood Your Majesty. He is invaluable. If the divine way can one day rise again and rival the immortal way, it will surely be because Your Majesty has successfully attained enlightenment."

Zhong Lixiao heard this but remained silent.

He had never seen the monarch, so he didn't know what the "noble" they were talking about meant.

but.

However, Zhong Lixiao had personally witnessed the Kitchen God attain enlightenment, and had even personally come into contact with the Lord of Nectar.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't believe that a powerful man who was worshipped by almost all his subjects, held supreme power, and was even only one step away from achieving enlightenment, could rule such a corrupt "Divine Dynasty".

Where is the slightest sign of a new founding era?
It even felt like the end of a dynasty.
Not to mention joining, just following orders and not hearing announcements was already the limit of what she could tolerate.

Zhong Lixiao was too lazy to say anything, he just waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

When the divine servant sensed the surrounding situation again, he had already appeared outside the Empress' Palace.

The divine servant looked at the Empress' Palace again, with even more awe in his eyes.

Although he hated the Queen Mother, how could he dare to show it even a little bit now?
The divine servant limped away from this place.

Inside the magical scene of Floating Cloud Fairy City.

Zhong Lixiao withdrew his gaze at this point, but he still made some changes to the letter.

This is the bad thing about Shinto law: the monk can run away but the temple cannot.

If it weren't for the last moment, Zhong Lixiao still didn't want to give up his current place of faith.

You have to know that he has been working hard for decades to spread the faith of Goddess Fujun.

but.

It is not Zhong Lixiao's character to just passively take a beating. As long as he finds the headquarters of the Divine Dynasty, if they turn against him, the worst that can happen is that he will completely destroy the headquarters of the Divine Dynasty.

At Zhong Lixiao's current level, there are not many things that require him to retreat.

Standing within the magic scene of Floating Cloud Fairy City, even if Zhong Lixiao cannot defeat him, he can still protect himself.

Even if a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage came, he would have to consider whether it was worth fighting to the death with him.

As for the Venerable Transformation God, Zhong Lixiao was not quite sure, as the gap in realm was too huge.

[I believe that this "show of goodwill" will definitely bring us even more powerful enemies!]
Zhong Lixiao knew what was going on.

Because he was too proud to kneel down.

But those beings in the Divine Dynasty are also very proud.

They consider themselves orthodox and look down on everyone, believing that all gods in the world must accept their control. This has become the ideological stamp of their entire organization.

As long as they can be unreasonable, they will definitely not make any sense at all.

If Zhong Lixiao really wants to get a good night's sleep, she must demonstrate sufficient force and use a language they can understand to force them to sit down patiently and listen to her explain his reasons.

If nothing unexpected happened, his letter would have been seen as a sign of weakness and a plea for peace.

However, through the reactions of the Divine Dynasty, Zhong Lixiao was able to guess some information.

If this monarch wants to prove his truth, he will most likely need to gain the submission or recognition of everyone in the world, or even the majority of the gods.

It may even be related to rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, plains, and even the layout of human cities.

Zhong Lixiao could also understand this.

The most likely thing is to preach to the world!
The Kitchen God relies on stoves that are spread all over the world;

The Blood Hell Demon Lord used the Sinful Demon Lamp;
The Lord of Manna relies on the springs of sweet water that are scattered all over the world;

As for the geomancer, Zhong Lixiao is not quite sure, but it is likely related to the earth veins.

It was precisely for this reason that Zhong Lixiao finally made the concession of "obeying orders but not announcements".

The core reason is that he is not strong enough now and does not want to completely break off relations with a person who is about to achieve enlightenment.

After thinking this through, Zhong Lixiao smiled slightly, then picked up the jade ruyi on the table.

Naturally, Zhong Lixiao, the Star Lord of the Heavenly Prison, was not killed, but was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to accompany other gods.

For him, who has not yet completely turned against the Divine Dynasty at this stage, the living Heavenly Prison Star Lord is obviously more useful.

but.

Zhong Lixiao accepted the magic weapon that Tianyu Xingjun had cultivated for many years without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because Tianyu Xingjun was an important official of the Divine Dynasty and was deeply favored by the emperor, or perhaps it was because the Divine Dynasty had a long history and profound heritage.

This Jade Ruyi magic weapon is indeed the highest-grade magic weapon that Zhong Lixiao has seized from the enemy so far.

What made Zhong Lixiao feel somewhat outrageous was that there were actually thirty-six magic spells engraved inside this jade ruyi.

It only takes a small amount of mana to cast these spells with ease.

No wonder it is called Ruyi, it is indeed very convenient to use.

Even though this magic weapon was not cultivated by him personally and can only exert 30% of its original power, Zhong Lixiao still feels it is very practical.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao imitated the Heavenly Prison Star Lord and pinned the jade ruyi around his waist.

As for the golden whip, Zhong Lixiao left it on the desk in the City Lord's Mansion and sealed it with the spell of the mysterious stone temple.

The core reason is that it contains a decree from the God. Zhong Lixiao is somewhat worried that the mysterious God will be able to locate him directly through this decree.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Zhong Lixiao's gaze immediately penetrated the magic scene of Floating Cloud Fairy City, and then headed towards the Chen family cave residence in Xianyan.

Just as Zhong Lixiao said before, he had waited for a long time and finally got this opportunity to act with a legitimate reason.

If you don't make good use of it, you will really be wasting this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Then, Zhong Lixiao saw that in the spiritual fields of Chen's cave in Xianyan, rice and beans were growing in huge waves, and a large number of spiritual medicines were growing extremely well.

However, no matter how many more there were, Zhong Lixiao could not see them!
Because the Xianyan Chen family cave has already activated a large protective formation.

As Zhong Lixiao took a step forward, the scene in front of him changed drastically, and he had already arrived outside the Chen residence in Xianyan.

After a brief observation, especially after seeing some members of the Chen family wearing waist pendants coming in and out, Zhong Lixiao immediately understood some of the mechanisms of the formation.

He fixed his eyes on a servant who was in charge of purchasing, and with one look he made the servant's head suddenly become dazed.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao took the waist pendant from the servant.

After isolating the aura on his body with a sealing technique, Zhong Lixiao quietly sneaked into the cave of Xianyan Chen.

"Reporting to the ancestor, not only our Xianyan Chen family, but also all the gods recently introduced by several other families, the statues have all shown signs of collapse. Most of the gods in the nearby states and counties have almost been wiped out."

After listening to the report, Old Ancestor Chen couldn't help but take a breath, feeling shocked and scared, with extremely complicated emotions.

He was relieved that other family gods had also fallen and a different kind of balance had been restored, but he was also terrified by the thundering methods of the Lady of the Mansion.

The sword hanging over his head not only failed to be removed, but made him even more uneasy.

Patriarch Chen really didn't expect that even with the God of Heaven and Prison taking the lead and so many city gods, land gods, mountain gods and river gods joining forces, they would actually be caught in one fell swoop.

Can you believe this?

"Go down."

"Yes."

After his subordinates left, Old Ancestor Chen couldn't help but sigh. He was frightened and felt like sitting on pins and needles.

But at this moment, Old Ancestor Chen's body suddenly froze.

because.

He suddenly saw a woman wearing a majestic and imposing robe, standing not far from him, quietly admiring the various flowers in the yard.

These flowers were planted by Old Ancestor Chen with great effort!
"There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. Chen Daoyou is in high spirits."

Old Ancestor Chen's body suddenly froze, especially when he saw the jade ruyi tucked in the arm of the Lady Lord of the Mansion. He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head.

Zhong Lixiao seemed not to notice the stiffness of Old Ancestor Chen. He just reached out and put a flower between his mouth and nose and sniffed it, even leaving his back to Old Ancestor Chen.

In just a short period of time, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Old Ancestor Chen's forehead.

After a while.

Elder Chen, who was struggling extremely, bowed to the end and said, "This is all because of my own greed. Your Majesty, you can beat me or kill me as you wish. Please give Xianyan Chen a chance."

Zhong Lixiao gently reached out his hand, picked a flower, and said, "Aren't you going to do it?"

Patriarch Chen smiled bitterly.

The Heavenly Prison Star Lord is kneeling, and you take his magic weapon, the Jade Ruyi, and quietly go to his courtyard to appreciate the flowers, leaving your back to him. Isn't this just fishing?

Does he dare to take action?
