Madam Zhi was stunned. She turned around and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Exalted Goddess."
Ying Xi asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhi Shi said, "Just now, there was a Daoist cultivator who passed by this place. He has a secret technique, so I thought that I could make him stay and teach the tribe's disciples some defensive techniques. Hence, I went to look for him and convinced him to stay."
Ying Xi was confused, "Are there still Daoist cultivators today?"
Madam Zhi replied, "Of course there are. The Wilderness is full of spiritual vigor. It's not surprising that some people know some basic Daoist techniques."
Ying Xi said, "I see." She suddenly tilted her head to look at Madam Zhi. The latter smiled, "What are you looking at, Exalted Goddess?"
Ying Xi thought for a while and shook her head. She felt that Madam Zhi seemed to be different from before, but she couldn't say anything.
Madam Zhi coughed and said, "If there's nothing else, Exalted Goddess, I shall take my leave."
Ying Xi replied, "Sure."
She was very concerned about her people. When an outsider came, she looked over and quickly found Jun Wuqi. She looked at him curiously, but no matter how she looked at him, he looked very ordinary. She pursed her lips and thought for a while. Suddenly, her eyes brightened and she took out the treasure pot that Zhang Chan gave her.
This treasure was very strange. She realized that as long as she threw something suitable into it, it would turn into another small item the next day. It was usually very useful. She remembered that she had obtained a Way-Asking Stone previously. She only needed to throw it at someone and if the person was hostile, they would be alerted immediately.
Jun Wuqi was sitting under the shade of a tree. At this moment, he felt something in his heart. He didn't know that someone was spying on him. He knew that this was the return of the deity. He felt something land on him, but his expression was normal and he didn't show any signs of abnormality.
After Ying Xi threw the Way-Asking Stone, she didn't see any signs of abnormality on this person. She felt that there was nothing wrong, so she clapped her hands and left with a peace of mind.
Jun Wuqi glanced at the direction in which the cloud had left, and then looked around. He could feel that this tribe had karmic ties with the Primordial Cardinal Treasure, so he might have to stay here for a period of time.
After Ying Xi returned to her shrine, she didn't enter. Instead, she circled around the perfume pouch and took out a big seal.
This time, when she was appointed as the Guardian of the Imperial Household, she was bestowed with this item. However, compared to this, she valued the sachet more. This sachet contained a universe within it, and anything could be stored in it. If she was willing to use her mana, she could even store a small mountain in it. Especially since its appearance was unusually gorgeous, it could be considered the most eye-catching item on her.
She held the big seal with both hands and chanted a spell. A rainbow light flew out and shone on the shrine. In an instant, the stone shrine, which was originally the height of a person, slowly changed.
First, a platform slowly rose from the surface of the ground. Not long after, it turned into a dignified temple with flying eaves and pointed corners. Outside the temple, there were even two mighty stone watchtowers with dragon beasts clinging to them. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be living creatures. Their eyes were half open and half closed, and their bodies rose and fell with their breaths.
Ying Xi knew that it was a success. She took a few deep breaths before keeping the big seal.
The newly erected temple occupied a space that was a hundred times larger than the original shrine. According to Zhao Heng, the gods needed to be dignified, so that the people would respect and fear them. At the same time, they also needed to be able to deter and fight against the demons. A strong and sturdy temple could also allow the people to enter without hiding when necessary.
Ying Xi listened to the second half of the sentence. Although she was very satisfied with the original shrine, she needed a place to rely on. Then, she would not be so passive when monsters like the Bi Ren appeared.
In fact, according to her position, she was already one of the three thousand main deities. Below her, there should be three subordinates, namely, "Main Assistant", "Guard", and "Caifu". In addition, there should be six offices in the territory under her jurisdiction. Each office should have at least six court officials and three hundred divine soldiers. In total, there should be nearly two thousand deities. This could be considered a complete team of guardians.
Unfortunately, there were not many deities now. Each office needed to be guarded by someone. They wished that they could take care of several offices. Naturally, no one would come to serve her. Not to mention her, even the highest seventh-grade deity who was conferred this time did not have any subordinates.
Zhao Heng was also aware of this situation. Therefore, he gave everyone a lot of blank identification cards and let them be promoted and recruited.
Those who were quick-witted would immediately realize that this was actually a disguised seal. Even if some people did not realize it at the time, they would slowly come to realize it later.
After this incident, unknowingly, more than half of the deities could not help but lean towards Zhao Heng. Even those who were originally leaning towards the three patrollers also had a change of heart. This had nothing to do with their standpoint. It was purely a result of benefits.
Ying Xi landed and strolled around. Looking at the empty temple, she was a little worried.
Zhao Heng stipulated that within half a year, there must be at least one subordinate by the side of the main deity. At that time, there would naturally be day patrollers coming to check. Now that she did not have anyone by her side, she could only think of a way to find a few.
She had already thought it through. Among the three priesthood, one would be reserved for the Zhi family. After a hundred years, she would confer a godly position to him. As for the other two, she could only find the foreign races and make do with them for the time being.
Therefore, she retreated from the temple, rode a colorful cloud, and rushed in the direction of the Shang Lake. Not long after, she saw the figure of the Carefree Immortal from afar. The latter stood alone on the lake. He had already changed into a set of clothes. At this moment, he was wearing a deep robe with big sleeves and a red cape with a high bun. Each of them was holding a finely woven fish basket. From time to time, a vague group of souls would jump into the basket.
There were no mortals in the Shang Lake, and they were not responsible for fighting against demons and monsters. However, their responsibilities were equally important.
As early as when the 100,000 deities entered the human realm, the three patrollers realized that if they wanted to maintain this vast territory by themselves, they would certainly not have enough manpower. Therefore, they set their sights on the foreign races' divine souls.
The responsibility of the Carefree Immortal here was to try to find the foreign races' divine souls above the lake in the wilderness and put them into the Essence Bottle. In the future, they could be refined into divine soldiers.
Today, in the wilderness territory. There were about twelve deities like her. However, she seemed to be valued by Zhao Heng more. She was the only deity who was conferred as the eighth grade Love Collector.
Ying Xi approached and said, "Sister Carefree Immortal, I'm here today to ask you for a few foreign souls."
The Carefree Immortal nodded slightly. She pushed the fish basket and took out an Essence Bottle. She sent it over with her mana and said softly, "Here are 300 Yinbai's Soul Essences."
Yinbai was a half-whale and half-human heterogeneous creature living in the Shang Lake. It had a gentle temperament and great strength. Its soul was also very solid. Even if it was not collected, it would turn into some kind of evil ghost and harm the surrounding creatures. Therefore, it was like killing two birds with one stone for her to collect it.
Ying Xi said in distress, "It's a little too much."
She couldn't care so many deities. It would be fine if there were only two or three, but it was a headache to think of three hundred.
The Carefree Immortal didn't take it back. She just looked at her calmly and silently.
Ying Xi couldn't stand her gaze. She became timid and accepted it obediently.
This time, she was not in a hurry to go back. She chatted with the Carefree Immortal for a whole night before saying goodbye. When she came out of the water, she found a golden talisman floating on the shore of the lake. It was given by Zhao Heng and was said to have the ability to repel evil spirits and demons.
She couldn't help but think of some rumors she heard before. It was said that the reason why Zhao Heng took care of the Carefree Immortal was that he liked the latter's appearance and character.
She didn't know whether the rumor was true or not, but she didn't want it to be true. In the Drumming tribe, apart from the Zhi tribe who could see her, other people couldn't communicate with her. If the Carefree Immortal left, she wouldn't even have a companion. Moreover, she felt that this sister would be even more unhappy than now if she became the Carefree Immortal.
It didn't take long for her to return to the back of the Guardian Temple. At this moment, it was dawn. She was surprised to find that the open space in front of the temple was already full of people.
In the past, when this place was just a shrine, it could be said that there were very few incense offerings. If there was nothing important, the people of the tribe would not come here. Elders and the like were even rarer. Usually, they would send their own disciples to come here. But now that this grand shrine was built, all the people of the tribe came to pay their respects, and all of them were in awe and fear.
Ying Xi only heard prayers coming into her ears, but she found that most of them were praying for the deities not to punish them for their past insincerity. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When it was almost noon, the people of the tribe left. There were a lot of offerings, including cattle and horses, as well as her favorite fruits. As for grains, she didn't see them because the Zhi tribe only started to reclaim the land Just Now after the arrival of the tribe. It was not the harvest time yet.
She took a deep breath and absorbed all the offerings into her Dharmakaya. Only a pile of dust was left on the table.
After cleaning up the place, she closed the door of the temple and took out the bottle with 300 Soul Essences. She removed the stopper and a cloud of obscure Qi came out.
She widened her eyes and shone her divine seal. She saw that as long as the light landed on those Soul Essences, they would immediately turn into divine soldiers in black armor and light helmets. In just a few breaths, all of them appeared and bowed in unison. At the same time, they said, "Greetings to Shouyu."
Ying Xi was very excited. She nodded and patted the nearest Divine Soldier, "You are the Guardian Temple."
The Divine Soldier's expression immediately turned serious. His stiff face became more lively and a Divine Seal appeared on his body. He put his hands together and bowed, saying in a deep voice, "Your subordinate obeys the order." “
At the same time, Ying Xi felt that some of the mana in her body was shaved off and transferred to the Divine Seal.
Right now, her Divine Path was not complete. Refining the Soul Essences like this could only be temporarily borrowed from the Lord. Fortunately, ordinary Divine Soldiers didn't need much mana. After she was bestowed a Deity Position, her power had greatly increased. She could take it back in the future if she gave it away now, so she didn't need to be too stingy.
Just as she was thinking about what she should send these subordinates to do, there seemed to be some movement outside. Looking out, she was shocked to see a fiery meteor coming from the north, streaking across the sky and crashing down in the south.
In an instant, the heaven and earth shook.
Almost at the same time, somewhere in Buxu Heaven, Bai Wei's expression froze and he came out of his meditative state. He divined for a moment and his expression turned serious. "The calendar changes and the Heavenly Dao continues. This is a sign that a connate spirit of our generation has appeared." He looked in a certain direction with a burning gaze. "We cannot go to the Dao Domain. We absolutely cannot let the cultivators of the Human Dao subdue us. It looks like we have to find a way to bring it here. "
