Chapter 57 (2/2)

Li Changshou was highly tense.

After the six paper dolls had finished scattering the poisonous powder in their hands, each of them held a sword and charged forward in a criss-cross manner. A talisman, which was established by the immortal light, also appeared in the sea.

The sword array and the True Samadhi Flames had shown their power at the same time!

The talismanic array was like chains, locking this great demon in all directions. The talismanic power erupted, sealed, electrocuted, froze, roasted, and so on.

The demon body, which had been mostly corroded by the poisonous powder, had lost much of its defensive power.

Six strokes of the immortal sword wrapped in True Samadhi Flames sliced through, and the great demon’s body immediately had six more intersecting cracks!

Wisps of True Samadhi Flames penetrated the cracks everywhere and ignited using this demon’s essence, Qi, and spirit as fuel.

The huge fire wrapped around this great demon in the sea in the blink of an eye, but the latter couldn’t utter any screams.

Among the trees on the sh.o.r.e, Li Changshou clenched his left fist while the six paper dolls each held fire swords and rushed into each part of this demon’s body.

Within the array wall, the flame burst forth in the seawater!

The surface of the sea exploded into columns of water, and several pieces of the wrecked body wrapped in the True Samadhi Flames rose into the sky. The demon’s soul was locked in midair by long chains of talismanic arrays and was directly engulfed by the True Samadhi Flames!

Li Changshou cast the Five-Element escape technique—from Wood Escape to Earth Escape and Water Escape. His figure rushed towards the place where the trapping array was.

When he arrived in the array, three paper dolls were sitting in a lotus position on the sea’s surface and chanting the Salvation Sutra, the Rebirth Mantra, and the Blessing Mantra.

The three paper dolls disposed of the poisonous powder remaining in the seawater and opened their mouths to suck the polluted seawater and indestructible flames into their stomach for recycling later on.

The True Samadhi Flames were really fierce. In ten minutes, the great demon’s huge body was already nothing more than a puddle of ashes on the surface of the sea.

Li Changshou got out of the water, and a question suddenly popped in his mind.

The power of True Samadhi Flames was too strong. If he needed to use it for alchemy within the sect and a bystander suddenly asked him how his True Samadhi Flames cultivation was coming along, wouldn’t that be…

It was time to figure out how to reduce the power of this True Flame. It would be best if the power was controllable and could be adjusted at will.

Li Changshou threw out the Soul-Bewitching Pearl. As his sleeve robe lifted, the pile of ashes and seawater was taken into his palm, clumped into a ball of water, and thrown into the air before exploding apart lightly.

It was unexpectedly somewhat relieving…

As the chanting continued, Li Changshou gripped the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and checked the remnant memories inside.

Well, this great demon really wasn’t from the South Ocean. It originally lived in the West Ocean.

There weren’t many powerful people among their ancestors. The demon race deep in the ocean had been unable to help themselves up due to the lack of luck.

This fish demon had killed countless people, and countless fishermen had been buried in their hands. He was killing it on behalf of the heavens.

A ray of golden light suddenly flew up on the sea’s surface and entered Li Changshou’s arm.

Li Changshou was suddenly flooded with a small amount of enlightenment, feeling that his own Dao had additional protection, and his quest for longevity seemed to have become slightly smoother.

This was merit.

By rough estimation, probably by killing a few millions of these murderous demons, he would be able to condense the Golden Body of Merit. Or he should forget it. It was nice to stay in the mountains without going out.

“Eh?”

Li Changshou furrowed his brows as he saw something strange in the thing’s memory fragments.

It had snuck an attack on the village, pretended to be repulsed by a clay statue, and returned to the sea to lurk…

Then, it had snuck an attack on other villages, pretended to be repulsed by clay statues, and returned to the sea to lurk…

The corner of Li Changshou’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. The chanting had just ended, and he immediately packed up his paper dolls, Dharma treasures, and storage sacks.

He did not recycle the array base. He hastily destroyed the array, cast illusion techniques, and Illusion Spells, and madly executed the Water Escape towards the east.

This great demon was from the Western school!

It was with those preachers in Xiong Village!

They first propagated the essence of the Western school there, waited for the demon to sneak an attack, used the clay statue to pretend to repel the demon, and revealed the ‘miracle’. Thus, they reaped a harvest of a group of die-hard believers to provide incense offerings for the Western school!

This scheme was certainly contemptible. However, Li Changshou was not so righteous to debunk this matter and did not want to have anything to do with the Western school.

The Two Saints of the West, who loved to send people westward, were also plotting to confer the G.o.ds.

Many of the unnecessary conflicts between the Dao Sects before and after the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation had been plotted by these two Saints!

After the G.o.d conferment, Laozi had turned the barbarians into Buddhas with one hand and forced the Western school to become a Mahayana Buddhist Sect.

It was a matter of propaganda. The Five Saints had been involved!

The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal had only been a p.a.w.n in this game of chess that the Saints were casually playing with, let alone a small immortal like him, who had just pa.s.sed through Tribulation Transcendence.

‘I can’t afford to provoke them. I should quickly slip away.’

Li Changshou used the Water Escape and Earth Escape alternatively to the east as fast as lightning.

He originally thought that he was already at the limit of 50,000 kilometers per day, but he didn’t expect that he had exceeded that in half a day.

He still had the potential after being frightened.

After Li Changshou went ash.o.r.e, he found a place to do a touch-up on his makeup and got all the physical disguises and magical disguises ready.

This time, Li Changshou transformed into a weak scholar and rushed towards the northeast.

His right hand hiding in his sleeve grasped onto the Soul-Bewitching Pearl as he scrutinized this large demon’s fragmented memories.

Not long after, he actually found some more useful information.

Li Changshou even heard of the Three Schools’ Immortal Sects right in the middle of a conversation about them, which was spoken by someone else to this great demon.

…

When Li Changshou fled 25,000 to 30,000 kilometers…

Outside the Xiong Village, a group of strong men and women were bored and yawned while watching these people on the platform jumping around.

These cultivators were also a bit puzzled and constantly communicated with their eyes.

Theoretically, their boss should have appeared. Why was there no sight of him?

Had their boss overslept? Had he gotten the place wrong?

This prayer dance had been danced three times, and the simple villagers below had grown tired of watching it.

“Ahem!”

The old Daoist priest coughed and stopped the chanting. He first shook his head and then shouted in an odd tone, “If you believe in G.o.d, you can be protected by them! You are invulnerable!

“w.a.n.g Cai, come demonstrate for everyone.”

The young man who had been chosen agreed to it. Immediately, he secretly was able to put a talisman on himself and knelt in front of the clay statue to offer incense. A golden light then appeared in front of his chest and on his back.

This talisman was called the Vajra Talisman, which was considered a relatively early-stage talisman. It naturally had no problem resisting the weapons in the mortal world.

However, the young disciple took half a step forward and was just about to follow the ‘process’ of calling out for one or two people to come up and slash him with the blade.

As far as his eye could see, his thoughts gathered, and his heart pounded wildly, signaling madly.

When looking at the field, the humanoid creatures seemed so strong that it was unbelievable. w.a.n.g Cai’s entire body was gradually engulfed by shadows, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Suddenly, he found a young lady with swollen eyes and looked rather cute behind the group of people. He pointed at the young girl with a happy heart and said, “Young lady, can you come up here and try to slash me?”

“Huh? Oh.”

Xiong Lingli looked up and wiped her tears. Her little face looked very pitiful.

The moment she squeezed out of the crowd, w.a.n.g Cai’s legs couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver.

This was a personal habit, which was understandable.

Xiong Lingli asked softly, “Do I really have to hit you?”

“Yes, yes.”

w.a.n.g Cai turned his head to look at the second person on the team, and that old Daoist priest glared at him. w.a.n.g Cai could only agree while his mind was constantly telling him, ‘This young lady is just a little stronger. She’s just a mortal. Right, she’s just a mortal. We are cultivators. We… will not be scared.’
