Chapter 34 Great Priest Li Wushou
For the City God who has been stationed in this place for many years
Although I felt that Li Wushou was a bit strange for some reason, that was all. There are plenty of strange people in this world.

The City God planted a wisp of divine soul on Li Wushou's shoulder, driven more by curiosity.

Now that a wisp of his soul has returned, the City God calmly examined him and found that his cultivation was quite diligent.

But how could such a large-scale operation by the City God Temple justify this?

Grasping the whip in his hand, the City God's mind sank into his Dharma body. Now that things had come to this, he hoped that Li Wushou wouldn't embarrass himself too much.

I glanced at the grumbling high priest; otherwise, I might have needed a sturdier whip today.

The Dharma body was solemn and majestic, and its divine power was overwhelming. The residents of Wufang City were excited, some stamping their feet to watch, others burning incense and praying.

"Lunar landing platform!"

As the Dharma Body spoke, the newly risen moon suddenly dimmed, and a sliver of moonlight was borrowed by the City God.

As the people looked up, they saw a silvery-white staircase slowly descending from the sky, stretching into the unknown distance of the southern city.

Li Wushou's ears were ringing as he stared at the silvery-white staircase cast by the moonlight.

At this moment, I began to realize that this was a bit too much.
I instinctively took a step onto the stairs, only to find that my foot slipped and I stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Only by mastering Yin energy can one ascend the stage.

As his mind moved, the priest unconsciously began to circulate his Yin Refining Technique. His aura turned cold, a gust of yin wind rose from the soles of his feet, and his heavy body instantly became light.

Li Wushou stepped onto the silver staircase, thinking he would have to walk step by step to the Dharma body in the sky.

Unexpectedly, the moment he stood still, the steps transformed into a long, silvery rainbow, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, carrying Li Wushou into the air.

Chen Gou'er had just been woken up by the City God. He looked out the window and saw Li Wushou take off and fly away on a rainbow. His mouth dropped open in surprise!
"Oh no, Li Wushou has become an immortal?"

Then he shouted at Li Wushou's back!

"Take me with you! Li Wushou! I haven't even gotten on yet!"

After leaping over the South City, Li Wushou arrived at the Main City in an instant, following the rainbow light.

The sky was suddenly filled with mist, and then the scene before Li Wushou changed. A long river of yin energy floated in the sky, and suddenly the dark shadow behind him became restless.

Li Wushou felt a deep longing.

But then Li Wushou saw two towering divine soul shadows on the upper reaches of the long river.

One of them, with his lower body standing in the river of yin energy, had countless roots behind him grasping at living souls and constantly swallowing them into his belly. Who else could it be but the Martial God Official?

As for the other, even more imposing divine figure, it goes without saying that it must be the City God.

"Li Wushou, activate the Divine Official's Yin Refining Technique at full power!"

Upon hearing this aged voice, Li Wushou realized that the High Priest was hanging upside down on a rock beside him, staring at him.

The high priest looked solemn, but inwardly he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Li Wushou had just made it onto the platform. If I had made such a big fuss, and Li Wushou hadn't even had a chance to eat or get onto the platform, that would have been a real mess.

The high priest was now somewhat frightened. He had only thought about delaying the City God a little longer so that he could catch his breath, and hadn't considered the consequences at all.

I've been completely exasperated lately. What happened to being so steady?

"Uh~"

Li Wushou was a little confused about what posture this was, but he still started to use the Divine Official's Yin Refining Technique.

In an instant, a vortex formed within his slender body, and a chilling wind swept across the tranquil river of yin energy. As the divine official circulated his Yin Refining Technique, the pure yin energy continuously converged towards Li Wushou.

"Huh~?" The City God, who had been watching silently, suddenly noticed something. The efficiency of absorbing Yin energy was quite good!

Much better than that old guy hanging upside down!

It just seems that the depth of the soul is insufficient?
The City God, who was watching intently, was somewhat puzzled, because she noticed that Li Wushou, who had just absorbed the energy, had a furrowed brow and a twitching face, suddenly looking as if he was exerting all his strength and struggling under the heavy burden.

The opponent's physical body was clearly extremely adapted to the Yin energy, but his soul seemed to be unable to control such a powerful Yin energy.
The City God's assessment was correct; Li Wushou was indeed under considerable pressure.

The shadowy figure was so agitated that even with his best efforts, he seemed unable to suppress it.

Finally, the dark figure slowly rose from behind. Helpless, Li Wushou had no choice but to cooperate and use the Soul-Devouring Shadow technique from the Divine Official's Yin Refining Technique.

The dark shadow slowly merged into it, making Li Wushou's Soul-Devouring Shadow much larger. The moment the Soul-Devouring Shadow appeared, it roared fiercely towards the Yin Qi River with intense greed.

The City God, who had just thought Li Wushou's soul was not strong enough, suddenly realized he had been mistaken!
"Is this the Shadow of Soul Devouring?"

The high priest, hanging upside down, rubbed his eyes, wondering if he'd been hit in the head. How could this Soul-Devouring Shadow be so huge?
"Huh?"

The war priest, who had been devouring living souls, seemed to have also become somewhat interested!
The tentacles behind him wandered through the void, and strands of living souls were wrapped around them, reaching towards Li Wushou's Soul-Devouring Shadow.

"eat!"

The City God, seeing this, intended to stop it.

Since Li Wushou was only conducting the High Priest assessment today, the assessment can now be considered complete.

Although the previous incompetent high priest had made things a bit too grand, the City God took advantage of the situation to dispel the rumors circulating in the city in recent days.

If Li Wushou passes the assessment, the City God Temple will announce his success tomorrow, which will actually boost the temple's prestige.

As for whether Li Wushou is unworthy of his title, that remains to be seen. Besides, who else but himself can test his High Priest?
I said he truly deserves his reputation, and he truly deserves it!
At this moment, the Martial Priest's test has clearly exceeded the High Priest's assessment. It's not that it requires greater strength, but rather greater ability.

The essence of the priest's Yin Refining Technique is to refine Yin. Like the high priest who was hanging upside down, he also refined the Soul Devouring Shadow, but his Soul Devouring Shadow could not devour souls. It could only absorb and exhale Yin energy to accelerate cultivation.

There are only three people in the City God Temple who can devour souls to cultivate, and the most skilled of them is the Martial God, who is born with the ability to devour souls.

But because he swallowed too many souls, his brain was damaged.

The exorcism was originally carried out by martial gods with strong martial virtue, but now it has become the work of civil gods, and this is the root cause.

At a time when people are in need, the City God was already quite satisfied to have discovered a high priest, and he seemed to have good talent! She really didn't want to ruin her brain like the Soul Devourer and the Martial God.

Just as they were about to stop him, they saw Li Wushou's Soul-Devouring Shadow, after struggling to control itself, suddenly swallow the living soul in front of it in one gulp.

Then the Soul-Devouring Shadow let out a comfortable hiss, and the Martial God was delighted with his prey, so he sent another living soul!

"Click~!"

"."

After nine strikes, the tentacles behind the Martial God suddenly emptied!

At this moment, there are no new living souls in the Five Directions City.

The High Priest stared in disbelief. "This Soul Devouring Nine Paths? Another Martial Priest?"

The City God also turned his head to look, then took control of his Dharma body and loudly announced to the Five Directions City.

"Effective immediately! A new high priest will be added to the City God Temple, in addition to Xiao Panshan!"

"Great Priest Li Wushou!"
