I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 378: Post-Earth Master Era

Fire city.

A small frontier town at the southernmost tip of Huzhou, adjacent to southern Xinjiang and the wilderness. Just by hearing the name, you can understand that this town has some relationship with the fire-worshiping lineage of the Four Symbols Taoist Temple in southern Xinjiang in the past.

Throughout the entire town, there are all kinds of braziers, torches, fire pillars, fire altars, and even various buildings and utensils related to fire sacrifices and fire-making.

After touring this small town for a short period of time, everyone felt the customs and habits here were quite different from those of the Great Chu.

Perhaps because of the hot climate, the clothes worn by the residents here tend to be light and short.

You can even see many young and beautiful girls wearing very cool short skirts, revealing their white thighs, which is dazzling to the eyes.

The bra on the upper body is also very thin, so that there are white soft buns of various sizes everywhere, which is a feast for the eyes and makes people linger.

The locals are used to it, but if a woman dares to wear such scanty clothes within the territory of the Great Chu State, she will generally be scolded for being immoral and shameless.

Even if it were placed in a sect of cultivating immortals, it might be inevitable that it would be accused of being a demonic sect like the Hehuan Sect.

In addition, both men and women like to use various paints to paint various exquisite patterns on their faces and bodies.

Some people simply get tattoos, without any concept that the body and hair are given by parents and should not be damaged.

For example, various fire performances are everywhere.

Elders who are powerful and prestigious may even be respected as "Fire Masters".

As for the strange beast of burden that can breathe and swallow fire, looks like a donkey but a bit like an ostrich, it is regarded as a sacred symbol in Zhaihuo City.

For strangers like Zhong Lixiao, everything in Zhaihuo City is quite new.

What is unexpected but seems reasonable is that the Kitchen God is also highly respected in this city.

Even sacrifices to the Kitchen God can be seen everywhere!

"Fire lychee fruit, the freshest fire lychee fruit. If it's not fresh, it's free. Only ten Fire Feather Coins per pound."

"The most authentic barbecued ostrich pork. Liu Huozheng personally cooks it. If it's not authentic, I won't charge you."

"Tanghulu, authentic Xiaozhuguo Tanghulu, only five Fire Feather Coins for each string."

"."

In the bustling street market, the cries of various vendors can be heard everywhere.

The fragrance made everyone drool.

However, Fire Feather Coin was a rather unfamiliar currency to everyone, and few people had any.

But there are essentially only a few major currencies in circulation around the world.

Either gold and silver, or spirit stones.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Fire Feather Coin is most likely a universal currency jointly launched by a certain sect or major sects.

Zhong Lixiao didn't even need to do it himself, Xue Jingliang, Yu Yunmu and Prince Bao were very diligent in helping him find out everything.

Huoyu Coin is indeed a new currency launched by an immortal cultivation sect.

The name of this sect is "Suzaku Sect". Its predecessor was the branch that believed in Suzaku and worshipped Zoroastrianism after the split of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace that dominated southern Xinjiang in the past.

At present, it should be regarded as a second- or third-rate small sect.

The head of the sect is a Jindan, but there seems to be also a supreme elder in the Yuanying stage, and several guests in the Jindan stage.

In recent years, the Suzaku Sect has gradually established a foothold in the area around Zhaihuo City.

Probably since the Earth Master Palace settled in Huzhou, the number of immortal cultivators coming and going has gradually increased. Due to its convenient geographical location, Zhaihuo City has gradually developed into a cargo distribution center.

As for Huoyu Coin, it was launched on this basis.

In terms of value, Fire Feather Coin is most likely a low-value currency between gold, silver and spirit stones.

After all, Zhaihuo City is essentially a city where humans and immortals live together, and its positioning is a bit like the Floating Cloud Fairy City of Baiyun Temple.

However, the status of Huoyu Coin has always been very embarrassing.

Ordinary people don’t need to use spirit stones for transactions, and cultivators are accustomed to using spirit stones for transactions.

What really made the Fire Feather Coin stand out was the successful enlightenment of the Geomancer and the massacre in the Geomancer's Palace.

As the prices of natural materials and treasures in the entire world of immortal cultivation have skyrocketed, more and more cultivators have come to the edge of the wilderness of Huzhou in search of opportunities.

They also need a lot of ordinary supplies and various services from ordinary people. Simply giving them spirit stones would be very inconvenient.

Fire Feather Coin has become completely popular!
Soon, Zhong Lixiao's place had a bunch of snacks from Zhaihuo City.

I have to admit that these special snacks are indeed quite delicious.

Zhong Lixiao has been practicing too hard all along.

Especially after reaching the Jindan stage, he would often go into seclusion for decades, as if the prosperity of the world was gradually leaving him.

Going shopping like an ordinary person again and feeling the life of ordinary people up close made Zhong Lixiao feel like he hadn't seen it for a long time.

He even felt that the stove fire was becoming more active because of it!
Time flies and half a day has passed.

Walking through the streets and alleys, he unknowingly filled his storage bag with all kinds of new things, which gave him a special sense of satisfaction.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the most prosperous area of Zhaihuo City.

In particular, the tallest and most magnificent building is extremely majestic and spectacular. Even in the most prosperous area, it stands out from the crowd.

If you ask what is the difference between this place and other places in Zhaihuo City, it is most likely that there are a lot of immortal cultivators.

Not only can one see monks riding various flying instruments from time to time, but there are also rays of light descending.

Occasionally, you can even see immortal cultivators riding their mounts: there are all kinds of mounts, including tigers with drooping eyes, fiery lions, extremely powerful, fat and strong elephants, and Garuda birds with wingspans that cover the sky, which are dazzling to the eyes.

From this we can also see the differences in certain aspects between the local cultivators in Zhaihuo City and the cultivators in Da Chu.

The immortal cultivators here particularly value mounts!
Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Zhaihuo City is adjacent to the wilderness.

"Are we not late?"

I saw several monks riding on some kind of rhinoceros monster, wearing clothes very different from those of the Great Chu, rushing over. It seemed that there was a very important event, and if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"Who can be blamed for this? When the news reached our cave, there was only a short time left. It's already quite difficult to get here now!"

"Hey, I heard that the Chu State relied on the ground network and the Five Spirit Mirror to spread news from all over the world in an instant. It seems that we are still like primitive people here."

"Who caused the collapse of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace? The Four Symbols Network, which was so popular back then, also came to an end. What bad luck."

The words of this group of people immediately aroused Zhong Lixiao's curiosity.

Was this a big event?

After a while, Yu Yunmu, who had been asking for news, returned.

"Senior Sun, I have already found out the whole story. The magnificent building complex in front is called Zhuhuo Palace, and it was opened by the Suzaku Gate."

"I heard that this event was personally hosted by the Grand Elder of the Vermillion Bird Sect. The purpose was to auction some of the cultivation notes that the Palace Master of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace had kept during his lifetime. These notes even contained some of the Palace Master's conjectures about the Four Symbols Dao before he attained enlightenment."

"It is said that there are even items of Taoism left behind by the former master of the Four Symbols Palace after his failure in attaining Taoism that are up for auction."

Zhong Lixiao was shocked when he heard this.

The master of Sixiang Taoist Temple hides the Taoist items left behind by Yuan Chang after he failed to attain enlightenment. Is this thing also being auctioned?
However, after a brief moment of hesitation, Zhong Lixiao understood it roughly.

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. The Suzaku Sect is too small, and it has the Taoist items left by Zang Yuanchang, the master of the Four Symbols Palace. If it is not dealt with early, the sect may be destroyed.

Zhong Lixiao immediately became interested.

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Zhong Lixiao and his group acted on impulse and quickly entered the Zhuhuo Palace smoothly.

Zhuhuo Palace looks very tall and magnificent from the outside, and it is an even more different world once you enter.

The buildings inside are lined up one after another, with carved beams and painted rafters, and are extremely exquisite.

There are gurgling springs, rows of pavilions, winding waterside terraces, piles of strange rocks, and lush green trees.

There is a ball of fire hanging high above the dome, burning like a small sun, illuminating the entire paradise as bright as day and as warm as spring.

There are now countless monks gathered in the many building complexes.

And the most central and magnificent palace was packed with distinguished guests.

However, perhaps because of the gatherings in the circle in southern Xinjiang, Zhong Lixiao didn’t know many people.

Because they did not reveal their true identities, under the guidance of the waiter, they just sat at the edge of the hall.

Because it was just a marginal place and not a private room, the soundproofing was poor, but people could still hear a large number of monks talking nonsense and bragging.

“I don’t know who will get the item of enlightenment left by the former master of the Four Symbols Palace this time. Anyway, a small cultivator like me is doomed to have no chance.”

"What are you thinking about? That is a thing of the Tao that only a person who has attained enlightenment can leave behind. Just taking a look at it will make us satisfied."

"That's right. The last time we heard about the concept of Dao Ran was when the Kitchen God left behind the Zaoshan Mountain, the Blood Hell Demon Lord left behind the Demon Lamp Realm, and the Geomancer Palace left behind by the Geomancer. As for the Ganlu Lord, there is not even a single bit of news about the Dao Ran Land." "Ganlu Lord is too mysterious. Among all the Dao Lords, she may be the most unique one!"

"Who says it's not true? Other Dao masters' attainment of the Dao was so spectacular, but Ganlu Master's attainment of the Dao was really like a quiet spring, moistening things silently. In contrast, the Earth Master's attainment of the Dao was so tragic."

"Shh!"

"Silence!!!"

Everyone present changed color when they heard this.

Do you really think that the local master is as kind as the two Taoist masters, Kitchen God and Nectar Lord?
The Earth Master was a ruthless character who proved his truth through killing. He almost wiped out all the cultivators from both the righteous and evil sects in the world, as well as all the cultivators who entered the Earth Master's Palace.

Don't you die?

The monk who had not been able to stop talking and had spoken out of turn could not help but change color.

He quickly looked around and found that the geomancer had not killed him with a bolt of lightning. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that. Ever since that Taoist master attained enlightenment, the news has spread throughout the world. There are only six lords left in the Yang world, nine for Yang and six for Yin. Recently, the world has been in complete chaos."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of sighs at the scene.

Zhong Lixiao, Yu Yunmu and others looked at each other, with surprise on their faces.

Yang Jiu and Yin Liu, such top-secret information has been leaked out?

It seems that everyone knows about the incident!

This is outrageous!
Could it be that the Huangquan Demon Sect deliberately released the news with the purpose of disrupting the situation in the world?

The more Zhong Lixiao thought about it, the more he felt it was possible!
It is absolutely impossible that there is no one behind this kind of thing.

It is predictable that all the monks and forces in the world who are determined to achieve enlightenment will most likely become anxious.

Take Baiyun Temple for example. In the past, they were determined to achieve the highest level of the mountain, and if possible, it would be best if they could embrace the symbol of eight.

But as this news spreads, can Baiyun Temple still remain in its current position?

The same is true for other forces. Their original plans will surely be disrupted, right? !
Yang Nine and Yin Six, even though there seem to be six honorable positions in the underworld, among the truly living cultivators, who dares to really go deep into the underworld?

For example, the Weiji Hanyuan, a place between the Yin and Yang worlds, is a dead end for cultivators in the Yang world.

The dark blood age is coming!

What made Zhong Lixiao even more confused was where the source of this information came from.

Is it really an iron rule?

Perhaps because everyone's sad stories were discussed, there was less bragging and more sharing of one's heart.

"Alas, the world is in complete chaos. Hundreds of villages near my cave were all destroyed overnight."

"To be honest, I don't really take mortals like them too seriously, but after all, the villagers in these villages have worshipped me for hundreds of years, so they have some feelings for me."

"And if I hadn't been out visiting a friend at that time, I might have died along with all the other disciples and concubines in the cave!"

Mortals are like weeds. They cannot be burned by wildfires but will grow again with the spring breeze.

Even if they are harvested in large numbers, after a dozen years or so, the mortal population will naturally flourish again.

For these immortals with long lifespans, it is just a period of seclusion and a nap.

But now, even these noble masters are beginning to become precarious.
Everyone present felt sad when they heard this.

Zhong Lixiao also had a solemn expression.

Once the immortal cultivators lose their bottom line, it will be an absolute disaster for mortals.

[Master Geomancer, is this the blood and fire that you have been waiting for to forge true steel?]
But what is the Kitchen God’s attitude?

If he remembered correctly, the Kitchen God's stove fire was for protecting the common people.

Then, Zhong Lixiao saw Xue Jingliang clenching his fists.

Obviously, Xue Jingliang, the old marshal who had struggled in the mundane world all his life and finally succeeded in embarking on the path of cultivating immortals, was completely furious.

"This is not an isolated case. I have a good friend who is a cultivator in Northern Chu. He can use the Five Spirit Mirror to obtain news from all over the world through the underground network."

"According to him, the Demon Sect has been making various big moves recently. Not only the mortal kingdoms, but even some small immortal cultivation sects have been directly wiped out."

"Sects like Baiyun Temple, Moyun Sword Sect, Huayang Palace, and Qunxing Sect seem to have recently begun discussing joint actions to jointly eliminate the demon cultivators who wantonly kill innocent people."

When the people present heard this, they were not too happy about the news.

Since all these major sects need to unite, it only means that the chaos is quite serious.

"I know this too. The news seems to have been blocked on the Internet, but all kinds of rumors are still circulating. It seems that the Huangquan Demon Sect somehow blocked the perception of the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower and then performed a blood sacrifice on the Anhe County under the jurisdiction of Hongye County."

Block the surveillance of the Wuling Mingjing Tower, and then sacrifice a city in blood?
Zhong Lixiao's face changed drastically.

If this news is specific to the county, then it is most likely true, and not the kind of fake news that "starts with a picture and the content is all made up."

Zhong Lixiao still had some impression of Anhe County, because he passed through this county when he was taking the entrance examination for Baiyun Temple.

Although I can’t say that the impression is very deep, it is at least a county town with a relatively prosperous population.

Now he was being wantonly sacrificed in blood? !
Zhong Lixiao felt that these few short words were as cruel as "There was a great famine and people were eating each other", or even more cruel.

Because the former is a natural disaster, which can be tolerated, but the latter is a naked man-made disaster, which can be tolerated if it is caused by one's own actions.

In addition, the blocking of the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower happened earlier than he had imagined.

After all, no matter how magical the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower is, it is essentially a magic weapon.

If it can be refined by cultivators, it can naturally be cracked by cultivators as well.

The Huangquan Demon Sect deserves to die!

Zhong Lixiao's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he once again made a few harsh notes about the Huangquan Demon Sect in the small notebook.

"To prove the truth by killing, to prove the truth by killing, is it really possible to succeed in proving the truth by taking this path?"

A woman with a gloomy expression, haggard and sad face spoke her heart out in a very sad way.

The scene fell into silence, and no one took advantage of her words.

Obviously, this sad woman must be the victim of the recent chaos.

Seeing that no one on the scene responded to her words, the sorrowful woman went completely crazy and said, "The share of minerals has increased, the share of spiritual food has increased, the share of spiritual medicine has also increased, and now even the corvée we have to perform has become several times heavier. Why must there be only a few positions in the world?"

"What do those crappy seats have to do with us?!"

The sorrowful woman's voice rang out, but the scene became even quieter.

but.

The lower the monk's status, the more he can empathize with this woman.

The impact of the geomancer's success is fermenting, and it is not just reflected in the intensification of competition.

For some lower-level monks, their feelings were particularly heartbreaking.

The prices of all rare and precious materials are rising, and the cost of cultivation has obviously risen, but the powerful forces that ride on their heads and suck their blood are even more exploitative, further increasing the various taxes they need to pay.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

The rise and fall of the world is no exception even in the world of immortal cultivation.

Afterwards, he also sensed that many cultivators present were secretly communicating with their spiritual sense.

"I know that woman. She seems to be Moder from Youhuang Bamboo Sea. The tribe's land is rich in spiritual bamboo, talisman paper, bamboo rice, and bamboo bears. They were once very wealthy."

"But it is said that some time ago, the Great Ghost Lord of the Heavenly Snake Cave increased their family's taxes by three times. Her great grandfather cried and complained that he could not afford it. It seems that the Great Ghost Lord killed the chicken to scare the monkeys!"

"Youhuang Bamboo Sea was forced to surrender, but the Great Ghost Lord seemed to have taken away a number of elite soldiers from them some time ago. It is said that they went to the wild land to open up wasteland, and it is said that several of them died."

The experience of the Model family is indeed very sad.

But sometimes the joys and sorrows between people cannot be fully understood.

In the blink of an eye, everyone seemed to have forgotten what had happened to Model's family, and the topic of discussion magically came back to the topic.

Moder looked miserable and completely despaired about the world.

Afterwards, Zhuhuo Palace fell silent, and then everyone stood up one after another. Even if they had a sad face not long ago, they now forced a smile.

because.

The supreme elder of Suzaku Sect who presided over this grand event came out in person!
