Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Li Junsu could sense that the rivers, nurtured by him, were beginning to nourish themselves in return.

Mountains strengthened his body, while rivers nurtured his spirit.

Li Junsu was quite confident in his spiritual sense.

After all, a powerful being resides within his consciousness.

However, if it can be stronger, then it would naturally be better to be stronger.

......

On the other side of the world, the great river

At this moment, Dajiang felt the nourishment of spiritual energy and comfortably closed his eyes.

She felt drowsy again.

The spiritual energy it possesses is even better than the incense offerings used by emperors in the past.

Incense is highly beneficial to the earth's veins.

But these innate spirits are inherently closer to spiritual energy.

At this moment, nourished by spiritual energy, the spirit of the great river slowly fell into a deep sleep.

She's rather lazy and spends most of her time sleeping.

The Yangtze River is relatively calm compared to other rivers.

Of course, this doesn't mean she's actually easy to get along with.

Once she gets angry, the consequences are far more serious than the great river.

Total annihilation is the norm.

That's why she's not well-known.

It's the same principle as Li Jing's saying that a skilled warrior doesn't achieve great feats.

But the fact that it can be ranked alongside the Great River shows just how powerful the Great River is.

......

The other river behaves in a completely different way from the Yangtze River.

"Ah~"

"This is life."

The spirit of the great river closed its eyes comfortably, lying in its own secret realm and sighing.

Subconsciously, she wanted to raise the riverbed and loosen up her muscles.

But what followed was Prince An's indifferent eyes.

The river water, which had been slowly rising and startled the patrol officers, obediently began to recede.

The river has become more obedient.

“He’s the one who’s taking care of me now. If he gets angry, not only will I be in danger, but I’ll also go hungry.”

The spirit of the great river shrank back and muttered to itself.

For her, the river channel is still too narrow.

She wanted to surge forward, but Prince An's power was still too overwhelming.

The spirit of the great river chose honesty.

"No, we have to find him and talk to him about the governance."

The spirit of the great river suddenly had an idea, and its eyes lit up.

Surely it would be alright if she talked to him about it?

Let him send someone to do what she wants.

The more the spirit of the great river thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

At this moment, the spirit of the great river, who has made Chengqian the regent and relies on him as the pillar of the country, treating his ministers like slaves and constantly threatening them with changing the course of the river, is about to push open the door to a new world.

Of course, at this time, the court officials did not know that the heart of the innate spirit could be so vicious.

What does it mean if someone doesn't listen to her, then the riverbed will be raised high?

Would the spirit of the great river like to hear what she has to say?

Or we could just use the entire plain as a waterway for her.

The ministers were unaware of these hardships.

At this moment, they were just hoping in their hearts that the poison would give them some strength.

Gain momentum early so the emperor can kill him.

......

Meanwhile, the Buddhist temple on the other side was equally bustling.

Shaolin Temple, Mahavira Hall

The Great Sun Tathagata watched the golden light gradually disappear and rubbed his eyes.

He stood outside the main hall, looking at the scene outside, and finally chose to slap himself.

The pain brought him back to his senses.

That made him cry too.

If it hurts, it means you weren't dreaming.

"Lingxiao... Daoist Rhyme."

The Buddha's lips trembled slightly as he touched his smooth, new head, feeling a burden on his shoulders heavier than a mountain.

"No, we must bring Maitreya Buddha into the world as soon as possible."

The Great Sun Buddha quickly turned around, walked back to the main hall, and began to plan how to better secure the incense offerings during the battle in the Western Regions.

Meanwhile, the three patriarchs of the Buddhist sect, who were also outside the Prince An's mansion at the moment, watching their disciples build a new temple, were much more indifferent.

The Pure Land School ultimately chose to be built on the outermost perimeter of the Prince An's Mansion.

It must be said that Zhichun Relic is quite adept at flattery.

She chose the location, and the Heavenly Dragon Staff and Vajra Pestle were still wondering why they had to go so far.

The Prince An's residence was originally one market town, but now it has three more wards added to it.

Even from the outermost perimeter, it would take half a day just to get to Prince An's residence.

But the answer from the Pure Relic convinced both the Vajra and the Heavenly Dragon Staff.

In her words, it's about attitude.

The Pure Land sect was stationed on the outermost perimeter to protect Prince An. This attitude made a greater impression than the sect members trying to squeeze in.

Moreover, this way, the worshippers will not disturb the Prince's Mansion.

They can also erect a statue of Prince An to help Prince An and Bai Xingling collect incense offerings.

Try to gain Bai Xingling's favor.

The two agreed wholeheartedly.

At that moment, the temple was built on the outermost perimeter.

"The Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Daoist Aura".

The vajra looked at the sky with a very calm expression.

They are now under Prince An's command and are not afraid of the Jade Emperor.

This is a headache for other Buddhist sects.

"Let's invite the Jade Emperor over for a cup of tea then."

“I also want to learn the Lingxiao Daoist Rhyme from him.”

The Pure Relic looked at the Heavenly Dragon Staff, blinked, and spoke.

If I learned this technique, it would be incredibly satisfying to use it against people from the Taoist sect.

"You want to learn?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon Staff's eyes lit up.

If she's the only one who knows it, then she's the mole.

But with one more person, things are different.

"Uh-huh!"

The pure relic nodded.

For now, I'll act cute and innocent. Once she learns it, I'll see if I can use this trick to fight the Heavenly Dragon Staff.

Vajra Pestle watched this scene with a smile playing on her lips, but she said nothing.

Becoming part of the Anwang lineage meant removing the Taoist and Buddhist labels.

You can learn anything.

While they were pondering, the commotion around them brought them back to their senses.

Then, the Three Ancestors saw Yinming and Yangling, along with the Conquest Envoy and the Punishment Envoy, directing some of their disciples to begin building a Taoist temple next to the Pure Land Sect members.

"What do you mean?"

The Pure Relic was furious upon seeing this.

"What, you think you're the only ones capable of building it?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Ming smiled provocatively.

He's a cunning old fox; how could he not see through the thoughts of the Three Patriarchs of Buddhism?

The Shengui Cangzong and the Guhuang Daomen also plan to build Taoist temples here.

Firstly, they are trying to steal the incense offerings of the Pure Land School.

Secondly, it's also a way for me to show off.

We can't give all the opportunities to the Pure Land sect.

"You want war?"

Upon hearing this, Tianlongzhang rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

"Look at what you're saying, it's all for His Highness's sake."

"If you care too much about these things, aren't you falling behind?"

The envoy stepped forward with a smile, speaking gently but with a hint of provocation in his tone.

They truly have lost interest in the Taoist-Buddhist conflict with the outside world.

However... that doesn't mean they can't fight internally.

Since there's a Buddhist sect within the organization, we still need to put them down.

Something convenient.

"you!"

"Okay, very good."

The Pure Relic looked at the Conqueror, then laughed in exasperation, gritted its teeth, and uttered these words.

"Thanks for the compliment."

The envoy watched with a smile as the Pure Relic departed.

"what should we do?"

The Heavenly Dragon Staff followed the Pure Relic and spoke softly.

"Humph."

"These brutes are brainless."

"From the outside world's perspective, this move is brilliant."

"But this is the Prince An's residence."

"Everyone needs to build connections."

"We will visit Nuwa later."

"Then send some treasures to Xingling, act aggrieved in front of her, and they'll suffer the consequences."

Zhi Chun Relic sneered and spoke methodically.

Nuwa was kind-hearted, and after learning about the Buddhist principle of encouraging people to do good, she certainly wouldn't dislike them.

First, establish a supreme background, then go and cultivate goodwill towards Bai Xingling, pretending to be wronged.

At that time, there will be those who are subject to conquest.

"That's a good idea."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon Staff's eyes gleamed.

After watching the Pure Relic and the Heavenly Dragon Staff leave, the Conquest Envoy and Yinming were also muttering something to each other.

"I feel like they're up to no good."

The conqueror looked towards the darkness.

"It's alright. The treasure trove of the Divine Ghost Hidden Sect has been given to Your Highness. No matter how much they try to persuade us, we will remain unmoved."

Yin Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking confident and composed.

"Tch, all you did was give me a treasure vault, look how cocky you are."

The envoy, seeing his behavior, inwardly grumbled.

However, although he did show disdain on his face, it was hard to detect it under the mask.

There's a reason why the warlord wears a mask; it effectively prevents others from reading information from his facial expressions.

Sometimes, being too wealthy can make even your own allies jealous.

Yin Ming watched the departing figure of the Pure Relic, his heart unmoved, filled only with confidence in his own wealth and disdain for Buddhism.

But he overlooked one point: Buddhism is also wealthy.

Although the Pure Land School has not become as wealthy as Shaolin, it has accumulated some wealth over the years and can be considered to have some assets.

Under Prince An's command, there is now a major battle between Taoism and Buddhism to fight.

......

study

At this moment, Prince An himself felt the response from all the rivers, lakes, and seas under heaven, which slowly strengthened him.

Li Junsu opened his eyes and felt his mind was clear. He also felt that the Sea of ​​Death had become even more vast.

Even the speed of blood and qi circulation began to accelerate.

"How does it feel?"

Houtu saw Li Junsu leave and asked with a smile.

"very good."

Li Junsu stood up and twisted his neck.

His consciousness is now profound; perhaps he can learn to leverage this advantage in the future.

Having a strong spiritual sense is very beneficial for Taoist arts.

Using divine sense to guide all spirits, and then merging with the power of heaven and earth, one can use thought to drive the Dao, and the Dao techniques will naturally form.

With his current strength, although he cannot achieve what the Xuanyuan clan did, where a single thought could summon ten thousand kinds of Dao techniques.

But now, he can still activate hundreds of Taoist techniques in an instant.

"It seems I need to learn from Senior Xuanyuan."

"Senior Houtu, do you possess many Taoist arts?"

Li Junsu made a decision in his heart, then thought of something and looked at Houtu and asked.

"Of course there are many. Do you want to learn?"

Houtu laughed when she heard this.

She possessed many Taoist arts, and they were different from the myriad spirits of the Xuanyuan clan.

She relied on mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, and the grand scheme of things.

Houtu is also a powerful Taoist practitioner, and even more difficult to deal with.

Those who rely on the art of the Great Master of Heaven and Earth are never truly simple.

"My Taoist arts are all related to the general trend of the world."

"It's much better than that Jade Emperor."

"You won't regret learning from me."

"How about it, want to learn now?"

Houtu looked at Prince An with intense gaze.

"and many more."

Just as Li Junsu was about to nod, he heard the voice of the Demon Lord in his mind.

"Hold on."

"what happened?"

After speaking to Houtu, Li Junsu transmitted his voice to the Demon Supreme residing within the token at his waist.

The next instant, a graceful figure in purple slowly appeared in the study.

Houtu was not surprised to see the Demon Lord.

"Sorry."

The Demon Lord looked at Houtu with envy in his eyes.

She was treated with the utmost courtesy and worshipped with the highest honors by the entire Shang Dynasty.

And what about her?

It's bad enough to have bad luck in my small corner of Lingnan, but to have my door blocked by that brute, Bingzhu.

Every time the Demon Lord saw another Supreme Being, he would feel depressed.

They are all born with innate spirits, so why is there such a big difference?

The only thing that brought her some comfort was Gonggong.

Not only was he as unlucky as her, but he also died twice.

"nothing."

Houtu smiled and shook her head.

In the past, she would have addressed the Demon Lord as "senior".

There's nothing else to it. Since the other party is giving her so much face, and considering that she is the senior in terms of seniority, it is perfectly appropriate to address the other party respectfully.

But things are different now; she has further integrated the energy of reincarnation.

We are getting closer and closer to the Dao Master.

Based on strength alone, even the Demon Lord might not be able to defeat her now.

In the realm of martial arts, Houtu is the senior.

That's why Houtu was so calm and composed at this moment.

"Senior, what can I do for you?"

Li Junsu looked at the Demon Clan Supreme with some curiosity.

This person rarely appears in the world.

The last time it appeared in the mortal world was to teach the god of Razer a lesson.

"Have."

"Didn't you expand your Prince An's Mansion?"

"We'll need private troops to guard the inner perimeter, won't we?"

"The demon army is just idling around in the demon orb anyway."

The Demon Lord looked at Li Junsu and got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu's eyes flashed.

What the Demon Lord said is indeed correct.

However... wouldn't it be too extravagant to have the demon army guard the house?

"We can bring the Tiger Slaughter Guard along. When we go to the Western Regions, we can mobilize troops directly from the Prince's Palace without having to make another trip."

"We can leave anytime."

The Demon Lord noticed Li Junsu's hesitation and added with a smile.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

As expected, Li Junsu agreed immediately after hearing the suggestion.

Putting everything else aside, it's a good thing to be able to increase efficiency even more.

It's a good thing to keep the demon army and Tiger Slayer Guards on standby at all times.

The Demon Sovereign smiled slightly; she had come to understand Prince An.

Sometimes, when you feel that the other person won't accept your opinion, if you bring up a serious matter, they will definitely agree.

"Senior, I'll be right back."

Li Junsu looked at Houtu and chuckled as he spoke.

"Go."

Houtu waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about her.

This is the important matter; cultivation can be done anytime.

The deathly aura vanished from the study.

Only the Demon Lord and Houtu remained in this place.

"senior..."

The Demon Lord realized that Houtu was no ordinary person, and after thinking for a moment, he wanted to get closer to her.

Nothing else, just want to see if I can teach the warlord a lesson.

She used to serve the military lord, but she doesn't serve him as much anymore.

Nothing else, she suddenly realized that she wasn't so bad after all.

If we can win over a few allies, we'll have something to fight for.

"Ok?"

Houtu saw through the Demon Lord's thoughts, but pretended not to know.

For her, having a few allies would give her more confidence when facing the Jade Emperor in the future.

The Martial Venerable under the Jade Emperor is no weakling either.

We still need to win over a few supreme beings.

We can't just use the Emperor of Fengdu as a figurehead, can we?

She couldn't bear the embarrassment.

......

酒楼

"Ah!"

"Who is scolding me?"

The Emperor of Fengdu, who was flipping through history books, rubbed his nose.

"Hmm... Zhuang Jiang, Li Ji, Xi Gui..."

"Should we further examine their character?"

The Emperor of Fengdu stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

If we can't produce heavenly soldiers, then we can only focus on the beauty aspect.
